AWB Chapter 638
Chapter 638
Han Ruilin's malice was almost entirely directed at Tangxing Entertainment, especially its latest martial arts drama.
Anyone who has heard that audio clip will inevitably start paying attention to that show.
Initially, everyone's focus was probably on Han Ruilin's outspokenness and the collapse of his public image.
After the initial shock subsided, they naturally focused on what Han Ruilin had said.
Although Han Ruilin's words were harsh, he was right about a few things; the low ratings of Tangxing Entertainment's martial arts drama were indeed deserved.
[It's true that bad movies often produce amazing songs. I was right not to watch that show; the song was actually quite good.]
To be fair, Han Ruilin was criticized not because he said anything wrong, but because his public image collapsed.
[I think Han Ruilin is right. With Tangxing Entertainment's recent flop, which company would dare to produce martial arts films now? Are those criticizing Han Ruilin just paid shills for Tangxing Entertainment?]
[Tangxing's recent fall from grace has left many wondering if anyone still dares to praise this company. It's truly unbearable to see some companies boast about creating miracles after a few successful investments.]
……
Initially, not many people agreed with Han Ruilin's viewpoint.
When everyone's attention shifted and they began to question whether Han Ruilin's words were true or false, more and more people echoed his sentiments.
Among them, Han Ruilin's die-hard fans have really set the pace.
It's obvious that they're trying to shift the focus of onlookers' attention and downplay the severity of Han Ruilin's reckless remarks.
As long as Han Ruilin tells the truth, even if his public image collapses, he can still establish a straightforward image of someone who speaks his mind in private.
As for other negative rumors, they are all fabricated by our rivals and have no basis in fact!
The fans reached a consensus and quickly started a trend.
Their enthusiastic participation can be seen on various social media platforms.
Unfortunately, the internet is not their personal playground.
Not everyone will be swept up in the one-sided narrative.
Among so many people on the internet, perhaps out of ten people haven't seen that martial arts drama, but out of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, there are bound to be some who have.
Judging from the sentiment on martial arts forums alone, it's clear that at least 90% of those who have read it have given it positive reviews!
Therefore, there are quite a few people who argue for this based on reason.
[Some people might say this martial arts drama had low ratings, but to say it was poorly made is absolutely impossible!]
[I suspect that those who keep insisting that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a bad show haven't even watched it. Could they all be fans of Han Ruilin? Some people are just too obsessed with their idols.]
[I like martial arts dramas, and I watch a lot of them on martial arts forums. Before you comment on whether this martial arts drama is good or bad, please check the reviews on the forums.]
[I watched several episodes in a row, but when I opened my phone today, oh my god, it was all negative reviews! Did Tang Xing break some heavenly law? How could she attract so many blind people to gather here?]
[I swear to God, this show is really good, definitely tens of thousands of times better than "Starry Night". If you haven't seen it, don't say anything.]
……
While not many people think Tang Xing's new drama is good, the relentless praise and recommendation have led many casual viewers to believe that this martial arts drama might not be as bad as rumored.
Of course, many people were drawn in by the polarized reviews.
Regardless, based solely on its current popularity, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" already has the potential to make a comeback.
Not to mention, the impact of Han Ruilin's live-streaming incident is far from over.
However, whether Han Ruilin's company or the "Star Chaser" crew are in a state of confusion is none of Tang Xing's business.
With the fourth, fifth, and sixth episodes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" airing one after another, all they need to do is wait for the 'result'.
If they could see the real-time ratings, they might spend the entire Saturday night glued to the screen, not wanting to blink.
Amidst the tension, excitement, and anticipation of the group, the time finally arrived at seven o'clock the next morning.
Normally, at this time, the company hasn't started accepting clock-in yet.
Not to mention it's Sunday now, and most people are on holiday.
Even though it's still so early today, the company's group chats, both large and small, are already buzzing with activity.
Especially members of the film and television department.
Even if the new drama has low ratings, it doesn't really affect each of them personally, and they don't want the department's 'performance' to be dragged down.
Not only ordinary employees, but even actors like Tang Yan showed up during this time, which shows that they were also very nervous.
It seemed as if success or failure hinged on this one move.
Eight in the morning.
The ratings chart for new dramas has been updated again.
01. "Asking the Immortals", viewership rating 5.3%
02. "Apricot Blossoms in Light Rain", viewership rating 3.7%.
03. "Picking Stars," viewership rating 2.9%
……
Looking at each of the show's titles, every change sparks considerable discussion.
The viewership ratings for "Star Chaser" have dropped, and fans of the lead actors' respective groups are all united in blaming Han Ruilin, believing that if it weren't for the live broadcast accident, their viewership ratings would never have dropped so quickly!
Whether the second-ranked palace drama had a better sequel, or whether the sequel to "Starry Night" was inferior to the beginning, or whether it was truly due to Han Ruilin's rapid loss of fans, is a matter of opinion.
Aside from these three dramas, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the most popular on the list.
After countless people determined the top three, they began to search for the locations of each of them.
[Can anyone guess the ratings for that martial arts drama?]
[I guess it won't be too high, maybe 1% at most. I don't like this genre of dramas; I feel like the ones made before were just so-so.]
[It's been trending on Weibo for two days now, so its ranking should rise a bit. I'd guess with a 1% viewership rating, its ranking would be around 16th! At least it's in the top 20.]
Why am I so pessimistic about wuxia dramas? As someone who watched the series, I choose to trust the production quality of Tangxing Entertainment; this drama will definitely rank in the top ten!
[Those in front are clearly fans of Tangxing Entertainment. I have to say, this company does a pretty good job with marketing. You probably can't find many 'company fans' for other companies.]
[Forget about marketing! I'm a fan of this company because of Teacher Zigui! This is Teacher Zigui's company! Do you understand the value of that?]
[If the ratings drop, it'll be a real joke. Is Tangxing taking a gamble?]
……
Before the rankings were updated, major social media platforms were still arguing amongst themselves, but almost no one thought that Tangxing's ratings would drop.
After all, the buzz generated by trending topics is undeniable; it's only a matter of time before it starts to die down next week!
When the rankings were updated, everyone stopped arguing.
Those caught up in the argument immediately located Tang Xing's new drama.
09. *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, viewership rating 2.3%
