AWB Chapter 626 was forever nailed to the pillar of shame.
Chapter 626 was forever nailed to the pillar of shame.
Chen Yixiao was very unhappy. He had already received news that the shareholders had joined forces to replace the chairman of Kuaishou.
These people no longer believe he can turn the tide.
These people all wanted to make money off him in the first place, but now they don't even mention the past.
"Then I'd like to see who you're going to put forward as chairman." Chen Yixiao sneered.
Among those shareholders, none of them were able to accept the current state of Kuaishou.
Compared to Chen Yixiao's displeasure, Chairman Liu and his group immediately checked the viewership ratings.
Because ratings websites have had real-time ratings updates for over a year, the first episodes of most dramas are now almost over.
So at this point, we can already see exactly how many viewers the first episode had.
Chairman Liu sat there, listening to a director's report: "1.5, 2, 2.1,..."
As the numbers came out one by one, the director's face grew increasingly excited.
Because every show achieved a real-time viewership rating of over 1.5, with the highest even exceeding 2.4.
A drama series that achieves a viewership rating of over 1.5 is considered a blockbuster.
Clearly, all 10 dramas they prepared were potential hits.
If they hadn't aired at the same time, several of them could have become the king of dramas.
Of course, they also knew that such a high rate of income at the same time was not right.
After all, there aren't that many people watching TV these days, and all these shows combined have a rating of over twenty.
This also shows that many people online are paying attention to this matter, and now it is these people who are watching these dramas and trying to draw a conclusion.
This also made them realize that they definitely couldn't lose to Chen Jincheng in this competition.
Fortunately, they breathed a sigh of relief after the data came out.
After all, with such high viewership ratings for each of their dramas, even if Chen Jincheng's "Crazy Speed" becomes a hit, they will always have a drama that surpasses the others.
"This is it, we've got it now," another director said excitedly.
President Liu then asked, "What were the ratings for Chen Jincheng's drama?"
"I'm investigating." The director, who was investigating the data, replied immediately, but he suddenly froze, standing there motionless as if he had been frozen in place.
"What's wrong?" Another director immediately went over to check, and then froze on the spot. After a moment, he exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? A 3.5 rating, how can it be so high?"
These words immediately drew everyone's attention. Chairman Liu stood up in disbelief: "A 3.5 rating? You didn't misread it?"
As he spoke, he ran to the computer to check, and then his expression completely changed.
It really is 3.5.
How can this be?
The others also looked grim.
"I don't believe this is true. Does this mean we're doomed?"
"How could Chan Kam-Ching's dramas have such high viewership ratings?"
"..."
These people felt like they were dreaming; otherwise, how could such an absurd thing happen?
"Don't panic." Chairman Liu said with a frown, "This is only the first episode. Maybe those people on the internet are just watching this show out of curiosity. The second episode might not have such high ratings."
The director nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
His face lit up with anticipation once again.
In that case, the actual situation will be revealed in the second episode.
They just didn't consider that the high viewership of their own show's first episode might actually be due to netizens joining in the fun.
As they eagerly awaited it, various TV stations began airing the second episode.
Moreover, the ratings for the second episode came out quickly. When they saw the soaring ratings again, their expressions turned even uglier.
4!
The ratings skyrocketed to a staggering 4.
Why is it even higher?
"Take a look at your play." Chairman Liu subconsciously instructed.
One of the directors immediately started investigating, and then his face turned completely pale, or rather, he lost all color in his skin.
Because their ratings had already dropped significantly starting with the second episode.
By this time, they clearly understood that the show with the highest viewership ratings, which was being hyped up by netizens, was their show, not Chen Jincheng's.
That's a bit awkward.
Each of them was deathly pale.
"Why did you provoke Chen Jincheng in the first place? He could have just focused on his short films," a director couldn't help but whisper.
He clearly regretted it.
Because they had no way to deal with Chen Jincheng, who could easily crush them.
Now they can't even match the viewership ratings of the other side, and their integration into the entertainment industry will become a laughing stock.
Or rather, their film and television industry will become a joke in the future.
Just then, Chairman Liu and the directors' phones started ringing one after another. After answering the calls, their expressions became even more unpleasant.
The calls were all from people I know in the film and television industry. They were all asking about the situation and couldn't believe that the news circulating online was true.
Moreover, the internet was in an uproar at this time, all about Chan Kam-ching's meteoric rise and the ratings of the first two episodes of those 10 dramas.
People in the film and television industry, apart from the Second Generation Star and the main creative team of Crazy Speed, as well as the actors, couldn't believe it.
The ratings soared to over 4 in the second episode, and even 10 hit dramas created by 10 well-known directors in the film and television industry couldn't compare to it.
That would make us a laughing stock.
Indeed, at this moment, the entire internet is watching the spectacle.
Hahaha, this is hilarious! Those people in the film and television industry actually lost to an outsider. They criticized his short dramas as worthless, but now that he's making a long series, they're all nothing again.
"In the past, when we criticized those terrible dramas produced by the film and television industry, these people would say we didn't understand art, and even incite online trolls to tell us laymen how to make a drama and whether we were good or not, and how to understand their artistry. Now, well, some laymen have shown them what art is!"
It's fair to say that for every bit of garbage the film and television industry has fed us in the past, there's now just as many people frantically criticizing and mocking them.
In fact, the online criticism made people like Chairman Liu afraid to open the comments section of Weibo and other self-media accounts.
Even the most mentally strong person would be overwhelmed by so many people criticizing them.
So now they only have one hope: to surpass Kuangbiao in online viewership.
Moreover, the websites they chose, Penguin and iQiyi, which have some conflicts with Ershixingchen, will give them the best recommendations.
The four dramas with the highest viewership ratings all received top spot recommendations.
After the film and television websites updated, countless netizens who couldn't watch the live stream flocked to the three major film and television websites.
Those who saw the video of Chen Jincheng criticizing the drama were especially excited and wanted to see how he would slap the faces of the film and television industry.
Chairman Liu and his ilk pinned all their hopes on online viewership. If they could beat Chen Jincheng in online viewership, even if only one of their dramas could surpass Kuangbiao, they would have something to say and at least retain some face.
But when the next day arrived, their eyes widened in disbelief as they checked the ratings for each show.
"Pfft!" President Liu saw the data at home, then spat out a mouthful of blood, fell straight down, and fainted.
He knew his reputation was completely ruined, and he would be forever branded with shame. (End of Chapter)
