The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 606: Why are the ratings increasing even though I said I wouldn’t watch it anymore?

In this day and age, it is rare to see a drama with a viewership rating of over 3.

Even last year's hit drama "The Rush" only had a peak viewership of around 2.0, still below 3.0.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to get the ratings above 3.

This will make many viewers who originally did not watch TV series start watching them again.

The target group is not only young people, but also the elderly.

On Earth, the drama "Drawing Sword" is indeed a drama suitable for all ages. People of all ages can feel refreshed when watching it.

The reason why "Kuang Biography" and "Wulin Wai Zhuan" are not as good as "Bright Sword" is also related to their themes.

As long as the anti-Japanese war dramas are well-made, they will naturally have a huge market in China.

This is a big studio that quickly released the promotional posters it had prepared in advance.

To be honest, before the broadcast of "Drawing Sword", Xu Ye did not expect the ratings to be so high, directly breaking the records of recent years.

It was not until the ratings began to rise steadily that he realized there was a chance that the ratings would break 3.

As for Du Chonglin, he was already dancing with excitement.

He has filmed dramas with ratings over 3 before, and more than one of them.

But that's of no use, it has something to do with the times.

To be able to produce a drama like this nowadays shows real strength.

"Making a movie? I'm not making a shitty movie!"

Du Chonglin’s mind is now full of thoughts about how to make “Soldier Assault” a good movie.

It feels so good to accomplish something that breaks records in the TV drama industry.

It was Du Chonglin who reminded Xu Ye about this promotional poster. He felt it was necessary to prepare it in advance.

When this poster was released, the patients of Huohua Hospital rushed to Weibo immediately.

"Congratulations on the ratings of Bright Sword breaking 3!"

"The Dean and Director Du teamed up to kill people. Director Du was responsible for the killing, and the Dean was responsible for the killing!"

“I would like to call it one of the pinnacle works of domestic anti-Japanese war dramas!”

"Drawing the Sword is so popular that even the kids in our neighborhood are yelling for fire today!"

The patients expressed their recognition of the achievements of "Drawing Sword".

In addition, some netizens who searched for "Bright Sword" also expressed their likes for it.

Penguin Video’s official Weibo account also reposted the message immediately.

During the period when "Drawing Sword" was broadcast, Penguin Video can be said to have made a lot of money.

Originally, because Xu Ye was not participating in this drama, Penguin Video took a wait-and-see attitude towards this drama.

To be honest, Penguin Video has never seen such a surge in data.

This is too outrageous.

However, after the first day of the broadcast of "Drawing Sword", Penguin Video increased its publicity efforts.

On the platform, "Drawing Sword" broke various records and became the platform's current flagship work.

Moreover, such a popular TV series will not only be popular now, but will continue to bring new users to Penguin Video in the future.

After Penguin Video reposted the post, the official Weibo account of Tomato Video also reposted it and expressed congratulations.

Afterwards, many people in the entertainment industry began to repost it.

"Congratulations on the ratings of Bright Sword breaking 3!"

"Congratulations to Xu Ye, Du Chonglin, and Jiang Linye!"

"The best TV series in China in the past two years!"

There has been overwhelming publicity, and these are all spontaneous actions of everyone.

Even some official media reported on this.

Everyone is talking about "Drawing Sword", and "War on the Prairie" seems to have been forgotten by everyone.

The lead actor Wang Jiahao was stunned.

“My drama is pretty good too!”

Wang Jiahao felt more and more that his luck over the past year or so was really bad.

Ever since he rejected Xu Ye's invitation to a variety show, his career has gone downhill and nothing has gone well for him.

Judging from the current data of "War on the Prairie", it would be a sure hit under normal circumstances.

But because its opponent was "Drawing Sword", it didn't get any of the honors it deserved.

Flowers, applause and cheers all belong to "Drawing Sword".

For Wang Jiahao, this did not meet his expectations at all.

So much effort and publicity was spent in the early stages, but the influence it has now is not even as great as that of an ordinary drama at other times.

In the end, Wang Jiahao summarized and analyzed the reasons.

"It's not my problem, it's Bluebird Entertainment's problem. As long as it's related to Bluebird Entertainment, no business has been successful."

He finally realized that Xu Ye had influenced this entertainment giant with his actions.

"What does the conflict between Qingniao and Xu Ye have to do with me?"

Wang Jiahao quickly called his agent over, and the two chatted for more than an hour.

In the end, the two reached a consensus.

From now on, the studio will cut off all business dealings with Bluebird Entertainment.

Afterwards, the official Weibo account of Wang Jiahao’s studio and Wang Jiahao’s personal Weibo account both reposted the celebration poster of “Drawing Sword” and sent their blessings.

It has come to this, and Wang Jiahao doesn't want to make things so awkward.

He has to be active in front of the stage, unlike Song Zhengqi who is active behind the scenes.

The impact of online public opinion on him is much greater than that on Song Zhengqi.

Since "Drawing Sword" is already so popular, let's give it another try.

After these two Weibo posts were released, Wang Jiahao’s fans also started arguing.

Some fans feel that "We are ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?"

This group of fans felt betrayed by Wang Jiahao.

The studio also took this opportunity to clean up a wave of fans.

This group of fans with not very smart brains are the fans attracted by Wang Jiahao when he was pursuing the traffic route.

The difference between them and normal fans is that fans in fan clubs are more crazy.

Although he is capable of taking action, he is possessive and controlling, and he often interferes in the private lives and careers of celebrities.

Wang Jiahao himself is a little fed up with it, and his studio has also discovered that the road of traffic is not easy to go, it is better to rely on acting skills and strength.

With Wang Jiahao's current acting skills, he is enough to beat the current traffic stars.

After Wang Jiahao showed his goodwill, the heroine Bai Shuyan followed suit and reposted the Weibo to send her blessings.

Bai Shuyan is one of the 85 flowers today. She is not a contracted artist of Bluebird Entertainment, but a star of another entertainment company.

This time, he starred in "War on the Prairie" in order to transform himself into a serious drama.

The result is obvious, a bit of a failure.

For Bai Shuyan, she acts to maintain exposure and maintain her identity and status in the entertainment industry.

As a result, this wave almost caused her to fall to death.

Bai Shuyan’s company also discovered that it could no longer cooperate with Bluebird Entertainment.

When Song Zhengqi learned that Wang Jiahao and Bai Shuyan had both posted Weibo congratulating Liang Jian, he smashed all the computer monitors in the office.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Song Zhengqi's face turned red with anger and he cursed loudly in the office.

The ratings of "Drawing Sword" exceeded 3, which was like a slap in the face to him.

The atmosphere in the entire company has been a little off recently, and some people are feeling nervous.

Song Zhengqi could naturally feel it. At this time, Song Zhengqi's cell phone rang.

He quickly picked up the phone.

A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Song, I'm really sorry. Something happened to me recently and I need money urgently. I can't make the investment I mentioned before for the time being. I'm sorry."

After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone without saying a few words, obviously having no intention of continuing the conversation with Song Zhengqi.

As a result, two more calls like this came in.

One was a call from a celebrity agent who was originally planning to sign a contract with Bluebird Entertainment, saying that he needed to reconsider it.

The other one was from a director who called and said that he didn’t have time to direct the web drama produced by Bluebird Entertainment.

These people are scared.

It would be fine if it was just ordinary business competition, but Xu Ye is now targeting Bluebird Entertainment, and everyone who sees him would be scared.

There are so many places to make money in the entertainment industry, there is no need to fight to the death with Bluebird Entertainment.

After hanging up the phone, Song Zhengqi sat in the chair with anger on his face.

He shouted, "Where are the people? Someone come!"

The secretary opened the door and walked in with some fear.

Song Zhengqi ordered: "Keep buying navy troops, don't stop!"

Mr. Song, who has been strong all his life, does not want to admit defeat. It is not the end yet.

So what if you break three? Maintaining it is the real skill.

However, it is of little use for the internet trolls to post negative articles online without any effort, as the audience has sharp eyes.

Tonight, "Drawing Sword" once again updated the sixteenth and seventeenth episodes.

These two episodes can be said to be the most frustrating parts of "Drawing Sword". The monk was robbed by bandits on the way to deliver a letter to the division headquarters. The monk killed several bandits, but was attacked from behind by the bandit's second in command, Shanmao, and died.

After learning about this, Li Yunlong was furious and wanted to avenge the monk. He killed his enemy personally, but he also got into big trouble.

After the two episodes tonight were aired, the online discussion went viral.

"The monk is such a good person, why let him die!"

"The monk is so pitiful, Xu Ye, you have no heart!"

"Today's plot is so irritating that I don't want to continue watching it."

"It makes my chest feel tight!"

After these discussions, Song Zhengqi was overjoyed.

He finally waited until this group of audiences said they didn't want to watch it anymore.

Then set the pace quickly!

"You actually killed off such an important character. You're amazing!" Song Zhengqi's mood improved a lot.

But when the ratings came out the next day, his face fell.

The ratings of "Drawing Sword" rose to 3.13.

The ratings of "War on Earth" dropped directly to 2.01.

The ratings gap between the two has reached more than one.

On the Internet, the internet trolls and anti-fans are still fighting with all their might.

Indeed, the death of the monk in the play is a pity. From the perspective of the plot, this is also necessary for the plot.

The audience also has their own opinions on this.

In Song Zhengqi's opinion, the ratings of "Drawing Sword" should drop tonight.

At eight o'clock in the evening, music critic Jing Xiyue was sitting in front of his tablet computer.

Her eyes were still a little red, all from watching "Drawing Sword". She had been crying for two days.

The first time was Xiuqin’s death, and the second time was the monk’s death.

She had already cursed Xu Ye in her heart, but she still felt that "Drawing Sword" was worth watching.

She was still thinking about writing a review of the play, and she was even more curious about what would happen to Li Yunlong next.

"There shouldn't be any tears today, right?" Jing Xiyue said in her heart.

At eight o'clock, the eighteenth episode begins.

Zhao Gang paced in front of the soldiers of the regiment for a long time, and finally announced the punishment results of his superiors.

Li Yunlong was removed from his position as regiment commander and demoted to battalion commander of the first battalion.

Li Yunlong packed his luggage and prepared to go to the camp headquarters. As he was packing, he subconsciously shouted: "Monk, monk, go get me that..."

After he finished speaking, he realized that the monk was gone.

Li Yunlong sat on the bed, lost in memories. He had not yet adapted to life without the monk.

He left the regiment headquarters under the gaze of the soldiers.

On the way to the camp headquarters, he met Zhao Gang who was waiting for him.

Li Yunlong walked up to Zhao Gang, saluted, and turned to leave.

Zhao Gang called out Li Yunlong.

He walked around Li Yunlong without saying anything. After a pause, Zhao Gang punched Li Yunlong directly.

Li Yunlong was knocked to the ground and shouted, "You are f*cking crazy! How dare you hit me!"

Jing Xiyue looked at this somewhat funny scene, but couldn't laugh at all.

Zhao Gang cursed: "You bastard!"

"You just threw such a large group of several thousand people to me, Zhao Gang. Are you really making fun of me for not knowing anything about military affairs?" Zhao Gang said indignantly.

"There are so many battles waiting for us to fight, so many devils waiting for us to deal with, and the surrounding situation is so complicated. Do you think this regiment will ever be able to leave you as the commander?"

"But you, you are just seeking temporary pleasure. It's okay for me, Zhao Gang, to roast him on the fire, but how can you let me lead this regiment, this regiment?"

Jing Xiyue felt a little depressed from the beginning of this episode. The monk's death brought about a huge change in the direction of the entire plot.

Hearing Zhao Gang's words at this time, Jing Xiyue just sighed in his heart.

At this time, Li Yunlong also said angrily: "Who are you blaming! If you were not injured, this would not have happened. You can't put the blame on me alone!"

Zhao Gang said angrily: "You keep asking me to remind you, but what about your brain? You can't let a stone trip you up three times, right?"

Li Yunlong immediately said, "Old Zhao, you are speaking without conscience again! During your stay in the hospital, I, Li Yunlong, lost three things. My wife was killed by the devils, my brother who had been with me through thick and thin was beheaded by the bandits, and you, the political commissar, have been in a coma for 23 days."

"Even if it's a piece of stone, it should be warmed up if it's placed between my chest, Li Yunlong."

Hearing what Li Yunlong said, Jing Xiyue's tears suddenly welled up.

Li Yunlong's eyes were filled with tears as he said, "I am not made of iron. I also have a heart, a liver, and feelings! You tell me, who can I talk to if you are not here!"

His tone was harsh, but his words were the most touching.

Jing Xiyue burst into tears instantly.

"Xu Ye, you stabbed me again, wuwuwu!"

Li Yunlong's heartfelt words made Zhao Gang understand his difficulties, and the two of them held hands tightly.

Jing Xiyue just continued to watch.

In her opinion, Li Yunlong's lines were just right, and they elevated Li Yunlong's image to a higher level.

"It's good-looking, but it's too swordsmanlike." Jing Xiyue sighed in her heart.

She decided that she would start writing reviews for "Drawing Sword".

This drama is worth it!

The ratings were announced again the next day.

The ratings of "Drawing Sword" have risen again and have reached 3.21.

As for CCTV's "War on Earth", its ratings have dropped to 1.98.
