Chapter 254 The Continuation of the Struggle
The main creators of the crew on the scene actually all had this idea.
They all wanted to see what Su Chen’s new drama would be like, including Lin Yun who monopolized the remote control.
So, the next moment, the channel was changed to Kyoto TV.
At this time, the first episode of "Love O2O" has been aired for more than 30 minutes.
Liu Junjie, Lin Yun, Zhang Xincheng and others saw the following scene playing on the TV screen:
In the game of "Dream Wandering in the Jianghu", "Lu Weiwei", who had been dumped, was a little resentful, so she ran to watch the marriage of "Zhen Shui Wuxiang" and "Xiao Yu Yaoyao".
I had to go to the bathroom because I had to go to the bathroom urgently.
However, the actions of "Lu Weiwei" caused misunderstandings among the onlookers and all parties:
"Hey, isn't this Lu Weiwei?"
"Did everyone see it? I saw Zhen Shui Wu Xiang's former lover standing on the Suzaku Bridge!"
"I saw it! I think her back is so sad! In this world, we only see new people laughing, but never see old people crying!"
"Oh my god! It's really lively today! She must be here to grab the bride!"
“…”
However, Bei Weiwei, who was in the bathroom, had no idea what was happening in the game.
At this time, there were many righteous onlookers who began to speak up for Lu Weiwei through the "public chat area".
This further intensified the conflicts among the parties.
Xiaoyu's family expressed strong protest against this.
You haven’t even dealt with the issues with your old couple, and you’re coming to marry our Xiao Yu Yao Yao?
As long as Zhenshui Wuxiang shows up, Xiaoyu family will give an explanation.
At this time, Bei Weiwei was completely "socially dead"!
If I ran away at this time, the gossipers would definitely think that I was crying because I was sad!
You absolutely cannot leave at this time!
At this time, Bei Weiwei looked at the game interface and made a series of funny expressions.
Looking at this scene, Liu Junjie, Lin Yun, Zhang Xincheng and others couldn't help laughing.
The plot is quite interesting!
Moreover, Yang Mi's acting skills are very contagious and inspiring!
However, after laughing, they suddenly felt something was wrong in their hearts.
This plot, this cross-narrative technique of reality and online games, is quite novel and interesting!
Moreover, Yang Mi's acting skills are unexpectedly good!
But this would be bad for their "The Snail and the Oriole"!
That’s not all.
They saw that the conflict over "Love O2O" was still escalating.
Under pressure, Zhenshui Wuxiang contacted Bei Weiwei.
Bei Weiwei said that she just came to watch the fun and had no other intentions.
Zhenshuiwuxiang is speechless. Don’t you know how to avoid suspicion?
She is indeed a woman with no emotional intelligence.
At this time, Zhenshui Wuxiang became even more convinced that it was right for her to break up with Luweiwei.
However, Bei Weiwei found that it didn't seem right for her to just stand there.
After thinking about it for a while, an idea suddenly occurred to him and he sat down on the stairs:
"Take a look, take a look!"
"New medicines from a top-level pharmacist, prices start at 20% off!"
“Selling medicine!”
This immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Zhenshui Wuxiang's wedding procession was able to pass smoothly.
Lu Weiwei's full-level medicine was sold out in an instant.
At this time, Lu Weiwei stood up, unable to hide his lost mood.
After he had dispersed the crowd, he was about to leave.
"Lu Wei Wei!"
However, at this moment, the voice of a magnetic boy rang out.
Lu Weiwei looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a handsome and elegant zither player standing under the stone arch bridge and beside the willow tree!
He was very elegant and looked at himself with a smile.
"What can I do with a smile!"
Seeing this figure, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"The best master in this server! What can I do with just a smile!"
I was pleasantly surprised at that moment!
God! Idol! Rich man!
The great god is actually calling me?
He immediately trotted and ran over.
"Brother Yixiao Naihe, you called me?"
A faint smile appeared on Yixiao Naihe's face:
"What do you think of this party?"
Lu Wei was slightly surprised.
Is the great master here to gossip as well?
At the same time, I couldn't help feeling a little lost.
Is the great god also here to laugh at his own joke?
I thought he was asking me to do something!
“It’s grand.”
Lu Wei responded lightly and said something.
What can I do with a smile?
"Then do you want to have a more grand banquet for chivalrous couples?"
Lu Wei looked at him in confusion and smiled helplessly: "..."
What does this mean?
Yixiao Naihe looked at Lu Weiwei lovingly:
"Become my chivalrous partner!"
These words made Lu Weiwei's jaw drop.
…
At this time, background music started.
The first episode of "Love O2O" has ended.
However, at this time, Liu Junjie, Lin Yun, Zhang Xincheng and others were unable to immediately extricate themselves from the mood of the plot.
Because the ending song is so appropriate and catchy!
"The raindrops fell on my coat,
Longing soaks into the corners of my clothes.
The signal you gave me, a slight smile,
It showed up just right.
Brushing past your hair,
Like the spring breeze turning the grass green.
Romance is fermenting, just for you,
Drive away all worries.
..."
Until the music stopped and the advertisement sounded.
Liu Junjie, Lin Yun, Zhang Xincheng and others finally came to their senses.
The drama "Love O2O" is so novel and exciting!
Something terrible is happening!
At this time, director Liu Junjie quickly took out his mobile phone and opened the "32 core city ratings".
At this sight, the gloom on his face was immediately swept away, replaced by a bright smile.
Lin Yun, Zhang Xincheng and others were actually doing the same thing.
Suddenly, cheers rang out from the scene:
"Oh yeah! We won!"
"Su Chen's new drama is good, but the ratings champion belongs to us!"
"Su Chen's appeal is just that! Hahaha..."
"It seems that Su Chen is just a flash in the pan!"
“…”
At this time, the scene turned into a sea of joy!
Yes, at this moment, after the first episode was aired, the real-time ratings of "Snail and Oriole" in the "32 Core City Ratings" are 2.5%!
It can be said that the ratings were a huge hit!
Meanwhile, the second-placed drama "I'm Waiting for You in Kyoto" only had a viewership rating of 1.9%!
What surprised them even more was that the ratings of Su Chen’s new drama "Love O2O", which seemed pretty good, were only 0.7%!
Ranked last!
Seeing such results, how could they not be overjoyed!
Admittedly, everyone knows that the data of "32 core city ratings" is a bit inflated, but if I am inflated, so are you, sailors VS sailors, you can't blame me for being inflated.
But under this circumstance, your new drama, Su Chen, still has such a low viewership rate!
The ratings of "I'm Waiting for You in Kyoto" also lag far behind them!
In their opinion, they had undoubtedly won the ratings battle!
On the Internet, fans of Lin Yun and Zhang Xincheng, as well as fans of the drama "The Snail and the Oriole", have already been immersed in a sea of joy!
They took screenshots and posted them on major social networks to show off the brilliance of "The Snail and the Oriole"!
"Oh! We are the champions!!!"
"See! The ratings for the first episode are so high! There is no doubt that this drama has become a huge hit!"
"Lin Yun's performance is so cute!"
“I like Fang Xiaolu’s character! She’s pretty and talented, but lives a sloppy life. Aren’t many girls born in the 2000s like this? I feel very involved with her!”
"Zhang Xincheng's acting skills are simply impeccable!"
"Even though 'I'll Wait for You in Kyoto' has been hyped so much, it's still just a little brother to 'The Snail and the Oriole', hahahaha..."
"Su Chen! Su Chen, where are you? How did your drama fall to the end? Hahaha!"
"You praised Su Chen to the skies before! Now his true colors are revealed!"
"In my opinion, what those netizens said is correct. Su Chen became famous by hype and attracting attention! His works cannot stand up to scrutiny at all!"
“…”
What’s weird is...
Similar situations also happened to fans of Li Yifeng and Jiang Shuying, as well as fans of the drama "I'm Waiting for You in Kyoto".
They were also ecstatic, celebrating their own victory.
"Tonight's ratings champion is ours!"
"The Snail and the Oriole and Love O2O are both so weak, okay!"
"In the days ahead, we can walk sideways, hahaha..."
"Kissing through an oxygen mask, so romantic! So creative!"
"The plot of "I'll Wait for You in Kyoto" got me hooked in just one second!"
“…”
Faced with such a result, Kyoto TV is undoubtedly the one that suffers the most.
They spent a lot of money, no, they had high hopes for Su Chen's new drama!
Although, if a certain viewership rate is not reached, the corresponding clauses will not be triggered, there is a possibility that Kyoto TV will lose money.
However, Xu Tao, director of the film purchasing department, was heartbroken!
Originally, he was hoping that after the huge success of Love O2O, he would be able to get one step closer to the position of deputy director.
But now, with such a terrible ratings, what the hell is this?
"Master! It must be the opponent who is injecting water!"
Xu Tao quickly explained to the station director Yu Junsheng.
It's okay if I failed this time, but I must never fail again!
Yu Junsheng's face was gloomy at this moment.
Yu Junsheng has also considered the situation where opponents buy data.
In his opinion, there is no doubt that the ratings of the two dramas "I'm Waiting for You in Kyoto" and "The Snail and the Oriole" are inflated.
However, Yu Junsheng was disappointed.
Su Chen's "Love O2O" is at the bottom of both the "69% viewership network" and "32 core city ratings" lists!
This is a bit hard to accept.
Yes, out of great confidence in Su Chen's TV series, Kyoto TV did not do any public relations with the ratings statistics agencies.
But the ratings can't be just this low!
To be honest, Yu Junsheng really couldn't figure it out.
There is definitely no problem with the drama "Love O2O", and the responses from audiences and netizens are very good.
Alas, it was all so neglected in the early publicity.
If it wasn't so blindly confident, if Kyoto TV was willing to spend more effort on publicity, such consequences would not have occurred!
"Director, the ratings of 69% of the network viewership and 32 core cities are all fake!"
At this time, Xu Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the director did not hold him accountable, and immediately continued to make excuses.
At the same time, I am also comforting myself.
"The ratings of these two lists are not credible! This is an open secret in the industry!"
However, after saying this, Xu Tao himself couldn't believe it.
It would be fine if the data on one list was bad, but the data on both lists are so ugly. Doesn’t this indicate a certain problem?
Moreover, since it is a "water list", everyone is watering it down, and the ratings of others have taken off, so why are the ratings of "Love O2O" so pitifully low?
Yu Junsheng had a dark face and said nothing.
He was also puzzled and felt depressed.
Could it be that this time, he trusted Su Chen wrongly?
After Kong Ling finished reading the "69 Cities Ratings Network" and "32 Core Cities Ratings" about the ratings statistics of "Love O2O", he suddenly felt that the good tea in the cup that cost three thousand yuan per pound was no longer fragrant.
The dream of a drama becoming a huge hit was shattered just like that?
Kong Ling was unwilling to accept this.
Brother Chen’s “Love O2O” is definitely a good drama!
The plot, the actors' acting skills, the props and costumes, every aspect is of high quality.
But why, only such a tiny viewership?
Kong Ling couldn't understand!
At that moment, he couldn't help but log on to Douban.com to check the Douban rating of the drama.
Unexpectedly, the score of "Love O2O" reached 8.1 points!
Excellent!
However, this situation made Kong Li even more confused.
Could it be that this time, Brother Chen failed to grasp the pulse of the market?
Is this drama popular?
But Kong Li felt that it was not necessary.
This is a youth campus romance, which should be very popular among people under the age of 25.
People in this age group are a major part of the audience market.
If it is a good drama, why are the ratings so low?
Faced with such a result, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun could no longer sit still.
They came directly in front of Su Chen.
Bell Tower:
"Xiaochen, should we do something?"
Although Zhong Jun didn't say anything, he looked at Su Chen with a serious expression.
The current situation can be said to be very bad.
If you want to make a comeback, I'm afraid it will still depend on Xiaochen.
Su Chen's mood at this moment was not good either.
Both the dramas "I'm Waiting for You in Kyoto" and "The Snail and the Oriole" received high ratings, which was not surprising to Su Chen at all.
However, he really didn't expect that the ratings of "Love O2O" on the "Water List" would be so ridiculously low!
This is extremely insulting and harmful.
Su Chen certainly didn't believe that "Love O2O" only had a 0.6% viewership rate.
However, at this time, is he also following his opponent's example and buying data?
Thinking of this, Su Chen shook his head:
"I know what you want to do."
"But let's talk about it in two days."
Once the “dehydrated ratings” from the State Administration of Film and Television come out, the truth will come out!
Hearing these words, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun's faces turned a little ugly.
According to their original intention, they just wanted to persuade Su Chen to do public relations for the "69 Cities Ratings Network".
Let’s also give beautiful data to “Love O2O”.
But they didn't expect that Su Chen would deny their words before they even finished speaking!
Zhong Jun:
"Xiaochen, I know you don't like certain methods."
“But if things continue like this, the image of Love O2O will be completely ruined!”
Su Chen:
“The fans are always supporting us!”
“…”
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were suddenly speechless.
The bad thing about Xiaochen is that he is very stubborn.
Oh, never mind, just wait for two days.
Of course they don't believe that the ratings of "Love O2O" are so low.
They even suspected that the ratings were manipulated by the competitors.
Fortunately, the drama has received high praise online.
Also, Xiaochen's works have never disappointed anyone.
This was the final comfort for the Zhong brothers.
At this moment, the Internet has already exploded!
Because there are significant differences in the data and rankings of the "69-city ratings network" and the "32 core city ratings".
Therefore, fans of "I'm Waiting for You in Kyoto" and "The Snail and the Oriole" have already started a fierce battle.
Neither side is willing to give in to the other.
They all clamored that their side was the undisputed ratings champion.
People from all walks of life in the entertainment industry found this situation extremely funny.
As people in the industry, they know very well that if such a situation occurs, there must be a problem.
To put it bluntly, the two lists, "69 City Ratings Network" and "32 Core Cities Ratings", are equivalent to the continuation of the struggle between the two major producers, "I'm Waiting for You in Kyoto" and "The Snail and the Oriole".
However, the ratings of Su Chen's new drama "Love O2O" are so low that people from all walks of life in the entertainment industry were caught off guard.
Everyone thinks that this shouldn’t happen!
Given Su Chen's current audience appeal, it is impossible for the ratings to be so low.
Moreover, Su Chen, Xingyi, and Kyoto TV cannot take this link lightly.
You know, whether these three parties make money depends on the ratings of the TV series.
Does this mean that even though Love O2O has put in so much effort, its ratings are only this low?
Thinking of this biggest possibility, the attitude of people in the entertainment industry towards Su Chen suddenly changed subtly.
Yes, facing a person like Su Chen who does charity without reservation and has , even if everyone has some thoughts in their hearts, most people will choose to watch.
Because, anyone who dares to slander Su Chen is almost finished!
But in the small circle, many celebrities in the entertainment industry have begun to discuss privately:
"Has Su Chen run out of ideas?"
"Su Chen's talent is just this level!"
"Even though the novel is so popular, the TV series only has such a low viewership. It seems that everyone has praised Su Chen too much before!"
"Su Chen is just a shooting star! Although it is bright and beautiful, it is destined to be very short-lived!"
“…”
