Get the perfect music system at the start

Some people praised it, while others poured cold water on it.

Some people are drawn to the show because they believe Xu Fan's TV series will definitely be a hit, while others are drawn by the benefits Xu Fan offered, namely tickets to his next concert, although Xu Fan has already clarified this.

There are only 100 tickets available for the next concert, but even with just 100, this number has attracted countless fans to share and promote it, hoping to get lucky and win a ticket.

For many people, it's not that the ticket itself is particularly valuable, but rather that Xu Fan's concert tickets are incredibly difficult to obtain. Even with an extra 500 yuan, many people could easily afford them.

After all, spending 500 yuan to see your idol's concert seems like a simple thing, but it's not like that with Xu Fan's concerts. No matter how cheap or expensive the tickets are, everyone is willing to pay.

The key issue is that tickets are hard to get, which is the most crucial point. However, Xu Fan has given away 100 concert tickets, which will be a chance for many viewers to grab tickets.

Of course, Xu Fan had already spoken with Zhao Feiyang beforehand about the concert tickets and discussed the certainty of these matters.

Zhao Feiyang's answer was very simple, because Zhang Feiyang said: "There is no problem at all. I am still considering the specific location of the next concert. I can not only give away 100 tickets to your fans, but if it is abroad, we can also cover the round-trip airfare for these fans."

It has to be said that Zhao Fuyang did think very carefully. Many people can afford the price of a ticket, but what if the concert is actually held overseas?

So even if some fans get a ticket, they might not be able to go to the concert. This can lead to things like ticket price gouging or scalping. That's why Zhao Feiyang told Xu Fan about these details.

Xu Fan readily agreed, not only because he was giving away a concert ticket, but also because the concert would be held overseas.

Then, the round-trip airfare and meal expenses will be paid by Fanxing Film Company, and most importantly, all the concert tickets sent out can only be used by the person who sent them.

Moreover, after discussions, Xu Zihao and Zhao Feiyang reassured themselves that they could provide these clients with a special feature: real couples, real spouses, and real family relationships.

For example, in situations like father and son, mother and daughter, they can bring up to one more person along, and all transportation, food and accommodation will be paid for by Fanxing Pictures.

Of course, it is not yet certain whether it will be overseas, but all the projects have been included in this event under Zhao Feiyang's arrangement.

As a result, netizens went wild online, and in response to the question of whether the recall was genuine, some methods were devised to help people make a more accurate assessment.

For example, the government's paternity test, or photos of couples from several years ago, are considered valid to be from a real couple, and the relationship must have lasted at least two years to be considered a real couple.

It's not that we're not considered a real couple if we've only been dating for a month, but rather that this two-year-plus relationship recognition model exists to facilitate better and more normal communication.

Regardless, after Xu Fan announced the event, the entire internet was forwarding and promoting it. The lottery was held after the posts were shared, and only one hundred people would win. However, netizens were as excited as if there were ten million or something.

Faced with the overwhelming publicity online, Xu Fan knew very well that this TV series was likely to be a hit, but for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, he really couldn't be sure whether this TV series would start off poorly as many netizens have said. What he did know was that in that parallel world, this TV series...

Actually, the initial ratings were only 0.8, but from 0.8 onwards, everyone thought that such an anti-corruption drama would inevitably decline in the future.

But what no one expected was that the TV series' ratings continued to rise throughout its run, from 0.8 to 5.5, and even higher, causing a sensation across the internet.

Given that the promotion of the TV series has reached a fever pitch, it remains to be seen how many people will watch it at 8 PM and how high the ratings will be.

Everything was uncertain, and no one knew whether the ratings would drop or decrease afterward. Faced with these questions, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang conducted further research and made some plans.

At the same time, he also called Han Zilu over to make some minor adjustments to the details of the TV series. Of course, these were not adjustments to the content of the TV series, but rather to the methods we would use to promote it throughout the entire publicity process.

In addition to the projects they have already undertaken, after discussions among several people, the final conclusion reached is that once the TV series officially begins airing, Fanxing Pictures will spare no effort in promoting it to attract more viewers.

Furthermore, they can edit out portions of already-aired TV drama content, such as the scene where Zhao Dehan is eating, and then use that footage to promote the show on short video platforms like Douyin.

This question was raised by Xu Fan himself, because he knew very well that in the parallel world, in the world where the system was located, this TV series was very popular at the beginning.

Later, because of that edited video clip, countless young people flocked to television or film and television platforms to watch the TV series and gave it rave reviews.

After all these issues were resolved, everyone nervously began the next steps, as Han Zilu was currently in charge of Fanxingye.

So he had a lot to do, so he said goodbye early. Zhao Feiyang and Xu Fan talked about some details, especially about the next concert, since they had already given away a hundred tickets.

Time passed quickly, and the TV series officially premiered on CCTV-1 at 8 p.m. the next day.

At this moment, the entire creative team, including Xu Fan, was anxiously waiting for the first wave of viewership records to be released.

===Chapter 759 Rating: 5.01===

April 13th, the weather was gloomy.

Actually, it was no different from any other day, but it seemed like it was going to rain.

However, nothing changed for Xu Fan or for any ordinary person.

CCTV-1 continued to broadcast its advertisements and weather forecasts as always.

Few people care about the accuracy of weather forecasts anymore; most people are more interested in prime-time TV dramas airing after 7:30 PM.

From morning till night, countless people across the country have been paying attention to a TV series called "In the Name of the People" on platforms such as Weibo and Douyin.

The reason is actually quite simple: this TV series is not only broadcast on CCTV during the prime time slot of 8 to 10 pm, but more importantly, it is directed by Xu Fan and also stars Xu Fan himself.

Given Xu Fan's current fame, whether he releases a song, films a movie, or makes a TV series, it will inevitably cause a great stir and a great deal of attention.

So these days, everyone online and in real life is talking about this TV series that hasn't officially aired yet. The series will start airing at 7:30 pm, which is half an hour away.

The CCTV evening news had just ended, and the weather forecast was starting, but at that very moment, countless people were already seated in front of their televisions, eagerly awaiting the broadcast of this TV series.

CCTV.

Everyone in the studio was eagerly awaiting the start of the TV series, as it was the show everyone was looking forward to.

From production to promotion and distribution, from the start of filming by Xu Fan to its completion, the entire CCTV team worked tirelessly to cooperate and pay close attention to the project. This was because the TV series was initiated by CCTV and even received attention from higher-ups.

"The current viewership rating for the weather forecast is 3.7."

When the CCTV leader heard this news from his subordinate, he was stunned. A rating of 3.7 was not high, but it was definitely not low either.

Although the number of viewers for the weather forecast is usually high at 7:30, the rapid development of mobile phones in recent years has led to extremely low viewership for TV dramas, so the number 3.7 is indeed very high.

It wasn't too high, but what shocked the leaders was that the figure of 3.7 had remained unchanged since the 27-minute mark of the evening news broadcast.

He looked at his men with some nervousness and asked, "Keep a close eye on them. Report any changes to me immediately."

First, you seriously agree, and then continue the investigation. At 7:45 p.m., your subordinates quickly approached.

Seeing the leader, he quickly said, "Sir, the ratings have taken a turn for the worse. From 7:31, the ratings dropped to 1.7, but starting from 7:35, they've risen from 1.7 to 4.125 as of now at 7:45."

This finally made the leaders of CCTV.com restless, because they never expected that the commercials following the TV series could achieve a rating of 4.125. This filled everyone with doubt and disbelief, let alone the leader.

To be honest, CCTV.com has found it difficult to achieve significant breakthroughs in its drama programs this year due to the synchronization of online platforms and video apps like Douyin. The highest viewership rating for any TV program nationwide last year was only 5.88.

In other words, last year's highest score was only 5.88, while this year's highest score so far, perhaps due to certain national policies, has only reached 6.12, despite a slight increase in viewership.

However, whether it was 5.88 last year or 6.12 this year, these two figures are already considered very high in modern times, especially this year's 6.12, which proves the importance to the leaders and all the staff of CCTV.com.

It was already destined to be the best result this year, but no one expected that this TV series was only at the beginning. Before it even officially started airing, the pre-broadcast advertising ratings had already reached more than four points, which was truly terrifying.

Everyone was filled with disbelief. Could it be that the TV series "In the Name of the People" was really that popular? No one believed it, yet it seemed as if it had already become a fact.

Time was ticking away, rushing towards eight o'clock, and the internet was already buzzing with excitement. Xu Fan had not only posted promotions on Douyin, but also on Weibo and other major platforms.

This time, CCTV.com mobilized all its resources for promotion, and Xu Fan himself also mobilized Fanxing Pictures and Superstar Extraordinary Studio to promote it together. At the same time, he also involved all the crew members who participated in the program in the publicity and distribution.

This includes Leng Xiaogu, Xu Shan, even Andy Lau, and some other veteran actors. Those veteran actors may have little fame in the entertainment industry now, but their fan base consists entirely of older people, and that was true for their time.

Their abilities are outstanding, which means that when they started promoting and advertising, it naturally attracted some older viewers who flocked to watch the TV series immediately.

They also wanted to know what the outcome of this new TV series starring these veteran actors would be. Of course, they had great trust in these veteran actors, but they were worried that the TV series might make the actors in their hearts look bad.

This is everyone's biggest concern, but no one worries about the acting skills of these veteran actors, because history and time have proven their abilities.

Xu Fan chose these veteran actors because their acting skills were absolutely top-notch. Of course, in the eyes of some people, all of this was just an illusion. Besides various kinds of publicity and discussions, there were also many different opinions being expressed on the Internet.

"A bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled people want to make a so-called TV series? What kind of good TV series can they possibly make? They're just fooling the devil. Don't be fooled by advertisements."

"I really don't know what these people have done. An anti-corruption drama is this crazy! Aren't there many other anti-corruption dramas out there? Have you forgotten all those old ones? Nobody could have imagined this, so please don't have too high hopes."

"Do you really have nothing better to do all day? The Anti-Corruption Bureau makes you all so crazy, and a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled actors excite you so much. Has Xu Fan really become that awesome?"

"You're right, upstairs. You simply can't comprehend how excellent Fan Ge is. You have no idea how much those actors have sacrificed, or how good their acting skills really are. So please shut your stinking mouth before it airs."

"That's going too far! Everyone, stop arguing. The drama hasn't even started airing yet. Arguing here won't do any good. Let's wait until we've watched the drama before we discuss it."

"..."

All sorts of comments kept appearing in the online live streaming rooms, whether it was on Weibo or Douyin, the comment sections were full of them, some good and some bad.

There are bad things and good things. Besides the critics, there are also those who support and like the TV series. Even before it was released, a major online battle had already broken out, with each of the participating actors releasing their own promotional videos.

They all wished for high ratings, with some predicting it would break 3, some 4, and even 5. However, what they didn't know was that at that very moment, CCTV's internal network was already seeing that the ratings for the advertisements had reached 4.9.

Everyone was stunned. Was this really the driving force behind the TV series, or was it simply because these few commercials happened to be very attractive that their viewership ratings were so high?

To be honest, few people would believe such a reason, but there really isn't any other reason they could think of. Even though they were very confident in the TV series, a rating of 4.8 was still unbelievable.

Finally, it was 8 p.m., and the TV series "In the Name of the People" officially began airing on CCTV-1.

Countless people across the country turned on their televisions again at this moment, and countless others had already turned them on and were sitting in front of them, waiting for the broadcast to begin.

"Thump...thump thump...thump...thump thump"

The opening theme song of the TV series suddenly started playing with a thumping sound, creating a tense and exciting atmosphere for everyone, while the screen showed clips from the entire TV series.

For example, the characters played by Xu Fan, the characters played by other actors, or certain special scenes all appear in this moment, scene after scene.

The opening theme song grew increasingly tense, faster, and more intense, making everyone feel the pressure. This was going to be a shocking anti-corruption drama, and everyone felt the difference and the dedication of the production team from the opening theme song.

In the past, there were many anti-corruption dramas, all kinds of anti-corruption dramas, and even the opening theme songs used songs that were hard to understand, or simple and straightforward songs that had no depth.

However, this TV series subverted everyone's thinking. There were no lyrics, only the sound of drums or other instruments, starting with the heart-stirring drumbeats.

The opening theme song alone made everyone's heart pound, and then the rhythm got faster and faster, seemingly becoming more and more tense. It was enough to make countless people quiet down and watch the TV series attentively.

Countless fans online watched the opening sequence on TV while posting their own comments on Weibo or Douyin.

"Wow, I love it! I never imagined that a TV series' opening theme song could be without lyrics. I love the sound alone—the drumbeats really make my heart beat faster and faster, creating an increasingly tense and atmospheric experience."

"Yes, I was shocked too. I saw that the opening theme song is still by Fan Bingbing. Fan Bingbing's excellence is truly remarkable and admirable. This song is absolutely fantastic."

"I really thought they were a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, but looking at the scenes that flashed by in the opening theme, the expressions of each type of actor seemed to be very lifelike. Maybe it was just a scene, but I could already feel the extraordinary nature of this TV series."

"Oh my god, I can't wait for the next episode of the series, but I bet this one will be a hit!"

There were countless discussions online, with all sorts of messages constantly emerging. At this very moment, while netizens were discussing, the TV series finally finished its opening theme song, the sound stopped, and the screen finally became quiet.

The words "Episode 1" in large letters immediately catch the eye.

Then a simple whistle sounded slowly until everyone around Xu Fan could hear it clearly. The sound was Xu Fan's, very clear, but not particularly obvious, like a tune he was casually humming.

The scene depicts a late night with trees standing tall and dim lighting.

The screen flickered and changed to the passenger seat of a car, where a hand was constantly twirling a phone.

Just then, a simple sentence came from behind.
