The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

Chu Liya, who was named by Hong Xingrong, was startled for a moment, then quickly organized her words in her mind and said:
"Brother Hong, there is nothing that can be done about the current situation of Just Like You. After all, before January 1, no one knew that Bai Xingjian's Crazy Storm would bring such a fierce impact to the TV drama market."

The 2.522% viewership rating of "Kuang Kuang" last night broke the highest record of domestic TV dramas in the past seven years.

Seven years ago, the TV series with the highest ratings in the country was called "Dear Prosecutor".

The highest ratings for a single episode were 2.856%, and the average ratings were 2.365%.

At that time, people thought that this data would be the beginning of a glorious future for domestic TV dramas, but the subsequent developments were beyond everyone's expectations.

Among all the TV series aired between 19 and 25, no single episode had higher peak and average ratings than "Dear Inspector".

Even the popular idol dramas with popular stars in recent years, whether they are ancient costume idols or modern urban idols, the highest ratings and average ratings of a single episode can only be said to be close to "Dear Prosecutor".

There is not a single one that is equal to or exceeds the previous level.

However, 26 years later, the appearance of "Storm" this year seems to be about to break this situation.

After all, in terms of average viewership, "Kang Kuang" has surpassed "Dear Prosecutor".

The data reached 2.373%.

Of course, this data is actually of no reference value.

Many dramas, especially idol dramas, can do this.

The reason is actually very simple.

Because "Knives Out" has only aired 6 episodes so far, the average ratings are naturally inflated.

While speaking, Chu Liya handed the data report related to "Kuang Kuang" to Hong Xingrong.

"Brother Hong, it's not that our "Just Like You" is not good, but the drama "Kuang Bi" is really a bit against the sky."

Chu Liya said very respectfully.

Hong Xingrong took the report, looked at Chu Liya suspiciously, and then focused his attention on the report.

Obviously, he was skeptical about what Chu Liya said.

However, when Hong Xingrong saw the ratings data of "Kuang Bao", his eyes widened involuntarily.

You really don’t know until you see it. It’s really shocking.

The ratings for the sixth episode of "Kuaisan" last night reached 2.522%.

It’s only the second day!
If "Kuang Kuang" continues to be broadcast, wouldn't it be just a matter of time before its ratings surpass "Dear Prosecutor"?

Noticing Hong Xingrong's reaction, everyone at the conference table felt relieved.

"See, this is really not our problem. The root of the problem is that the show "Knives Out" is too outrageous!"

"That's right! And that Bai Xingjian is also amazing!"

"Bai Xingjian is amazing. I really don't know how he did it. He's successful in music, movies and TV series. Will he enter the racing world next?"

"Hahaha, there are many people like Bai Xingjian in our country who are amazing. They are all great figures!"

"No, are you really discussing Bai Xingjian together with those people?"

"Huh? Isn't it possible? With Bai Xingjian's current achievements, if he is put among those people, he will be ranked among the top, right?"

"Oh my god, it seems to be true!"

At the conference table, except Chu Liya, many participants were whispering and discussing in low voices.

Noticing the commotion everyone was making, Hong Xingrong also coughed lightly, then said:

“Is the show “Crazy” really that good? Has anyone watched all six episodes of “Crazy”? Share your own opinions with everyone.”

As if he had thought of something, Hong Xingrong added: "Just speak frankly, don't worry about those rules and regulations."

After hearing this, the participants in the meeting also relaxed.

One after another, people stood up to express their opinions on the play "Knives Out".

"The portrayal of each character in "Kuang Biao" can be described as extremely vivid. My personal favorite is Xu Lei, the son of Xu Jiang, a rich second-generation with a background in organized crime.

The reason why I like him is actually very simple. Xu Lei is a character with such a background, but his hobbies are electric fishing and drinking AD calcium milk. How innocent this character is! "

"Zhang Wenjun's Gao Qiqiang is so vivid! And it seems that none of the actors in this TV series are popular stars. It can still achieve such good results. It's amazing!"

"Hahaha, I suggest a thorough investigation of Zhang Wenjun! He doesn't seem to be acting."

"No, Brother Hong asked everyone to share your personal opinions on "Kuang Bi", how come it has turned into a meeting to brag?"

"That's right! You two have actually finished watching the updates of "Kuaichuang". If you were so enthusiastic about watching "I Just Like You", we probably wouldn't be here to have this meeting now."

"'Rampage' is life, and 'I Just Like You' is work, right?"

"..."

Listening to the laughter and joking of the participants, Hong Xingrong felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

The drama "Storm" seems to be really something?

With this question in mind, Hong Xingrong planned to wait until the meeting was over and then go and see for himself what the drama "Kuang Kuang" was about.

"After all, we are competitors with "Rampage" and Penguin, especially since "Rampage" is gaining momentum right now, we can't just sit there and wait for failure."

After listening to many personal opinions about the drama "Kuangchuan", Hong Xingrong also changed the subject and asked Chu Liya:

"If I remember correctly, you seemed to have proposed some methods to deal with the explosion of "Crazy" during the meeting before?"

Chu Liya nodded, not feeling at all surprised by what Hong Xingrong said.

Hong Xingrong was not present at that meeting, but the relevant minutes of the meeting must have been delivered to Hong Xingrong.

"In that case, we can probably start implementing the plans you mentioned now."

Hong Xingrong said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Chu Liya, but almost all the people present showed a gleam of interest in their eyes.

Ever since Youshi became the dominant player in the domestic TV drama industry with its idol dramas, it has basically not used such despicable tactics.

However, judging from the current situation, the methods they once abandoned are about to make a comeback. …

3pm.

Hong Xingrong came to the top floor of the Youshi Building and then entered a magnificent room.

The room is very large and luxuriously decorated. The dazzling array of decorations gives people the feeling of being in an art gallery.

"Long time no see, Mr. Sun." Hong Xingrong greeted the man sitting on the leather sofa with a smile.

"Sit down first."

On the sofa, a man in casual home clothes smiled warmly and said:

"It's been a long time since we last met. You were out on business this time and even missed our New Year's Eve event. You must have worked hard."

"Not hard, not hard."

Hong Xingrong, who sat down on the sofa, quickly shook his head and said, "Thank you for Mr. Sun's concern. This time, it is really thanks to the cooperation of the team members and Mr. Sun's coordination of resources. Otherwise, our business negotiations with Netflix this time would definitely not be so smooth."

This time, Hong Xingrong went abroad to negotiate new business on behalf of Youshi and the international streaming platform giant Netflix.

The content of the new business is actually very simple. Youshi wants to introduce some film and television dramas on the Netflix platform into China.

Netflix also plans to introduce some of the film and television dramas owned by Youshi to their platform.

So far, Hong Xingrong has been having very pleasant talks with the relevant persons in charge of Netflix, and it is only a matter of time before Youshi and Netflix reach a formal cooperation.

"But what I didn't expect was that during the time I was abroad, a dark horse seemed to have appeared in our domestic TV drama market."

As he was talking, Hong Xingrong changed the topic to "Kuang Biu".

"You mean 'Spurt'? That's right."

Sun Mingqian nodded, his tone also quite emotional: "I really don't know what's in Bai Xingjian's head. It's ok that "All or Nothing" won the box office championship last year, but if this year's "Crazy Storm" also wins the TV ratings championship, it will be a bit shocking."

Sun Mingqian, also known as Mr. Sun by Hong Xingrong, is the CEO of UTV and holds a pivotal position in the domestic TV drama circle.

Hearing Sun Mingqian's praise for Bai Xingjian, Hong Xingrong couldn't help but nodded, "That's indeed the truth."

After saying this, Hong Xingrong grinned and laughed:

"So from this point of view, our layout of the new track is an extremely wise choice. When Bai Xingjian was still planning to take root in the TV drama circle, we at Youshi had already started planning for the next level."

The "next level of planning" mentioned by Hong Xingrong naturally refers to the cooperation between Youshi and Netflix.

He continued with a smile, “So although the drama ‘Just Like You’ cannot compare to ‘Kuang Bi’ in terms of various data, fundamentally speaking, our Youshi is not inferior to any domestic platform, but is far ahead!”

Sun Mingqian agreed with Hong Xingrong's point of view and said with a smile, "However, in recent public opinion, "Kuang Da" will definitely crush "Just Like You", so I think we can reveal the news of the cooperation with Netflix in advance to divert the public's attention."

"As expected of Mr. Sun, this method is really great!"

Hong Xingrong praised highly.

……

January 1rd, evening.

When the seventh and eighth episodes of "Kuang Biao" were broadcast on schedule, some negative hot searches related to "Kuang Biao" began to gradually climb the list on Weibo.

#“Kuang Hurricane” promotes evil forces#
This term has already climbed to the third place on Weibo's hot search list, and is showing a trend of reaching the top.

Countless netizens discussed it.

[Oh my god, I've been wanting to talk about this for a long time, and now someone finally speaks up! ]

[I just happened to have some free time to watch the TV series "Kuang Biao" these few days when I was not working. Then I found that the characters most liked by the audience were powerful evil forces, such as Gao Qiqiang and Dao Ge. Many netizens even started imitating these characters, but An Xin, a positive character, was ignored. What does the "Kuang Biao" crew want to do? Is this the situation you want? ]

【Real! I was attracted to the anti-gangster criminal investigation theme. After watching all the updates, I found that the drama "Kuang Biao" seems to be a story of a gangster boss with a sense of righteousness and loyalty? And it was also PUA-ed to show that kindness is a sin?】

[No, what are you guys talking about here? Is Gao Qiqiang popular because he is a gangster? You guys are really good at changing the concept! The audience recognized Gao Qiqiang and Zhang Wenjun who played Gao Qiqiang, isn't it because of Zhang Wenjun's acting skills without any trace of acting? As a result, you guys are using the characters in the TV series to judge whether they are good or bad in real life. Are you guys here to make fun of me? ]

[Why are you exaggerating? Aren’t we telling the truth? Gao Qiqiang’s character in the drama “Kuang Biao” is much more fully portrayed than An Xin’s character. Isn’t this a metaphor for the creators of “Kuang Biao”? ]

[Yes, the drama "Kuang Biao" portrays the villains with flesh and blood. Their little deeds are clearly described in the TV series, while many of the contents of the upright characters such as An Xin and Li Xiang are just "glossed over". It is hard not to doubt that the drama "Kuang Biao" should be called "The Biography of Gao Qiqiang" or "The History of the Rise of the Gangsters"! ]

[That’s right! It’s hard not to wonder if the show “Speed” is carrying some personal agenda, quietly promoting some people’s unacceptable views.]

[Fuck! It seems to be true! Especially since the creator of the drama "Kuang Biu" is Bai Xingjian! ]

[Since you guys don't dare to say anything, I'll just say it straight out. Do you think Bai Xingjian wants to rebel? ]

【666! 】

Many netizens discussed this entry, and the topic eventually turned to Bai Xingjian.

As the person involved, Bai Xingjian naturally also saw these comments on Weibo.

"I can only say that netizens have a really big imagination." Bai Xingjian sighed helplessly.

"So who do you think is the author of these?" Feng Shiqi, who was standing next to Bai Xingjian, asked.

Bai Xingjian tapped his fingers on the desk, grinned, and said:

"The people most suspected should be those related to 'Just Like You'. After all, due to the emergence of our 'Kuang Biao', Youshi became the party that suffered the most."

"Then do we need to respond to anything?" Feng Shiqi frowned slightly, his tone quite worried.

Just this morning they were happy about the record-breaking ratings for "Kuaishou" and even gave out red envelopes worth hundreds of thousands.

Then at night, this situation suddenly occurred.

No matter who this happens to, they will feel extremely upset.

“A response is definitely needed.”

Bai Xingjian was not in a hurry. "The view on Weibo that "Kuang Biao" promotes evil forces is actually not tenable in many places. We can let public opinion ferment for a while before responding.

It’s just the discussion among netizens about me…”

At this point, Bai Xingjian couldn't help but laugh, "I hope they cherish the opportunity now." (End of this chapter)
