According to predictions, the ratings of "My Stepfather" are estimated to be between 4.8 and 4.9, and the average rating of the whole drama can almost break 4, becoming the biggest winner of TV dramas in the past five years!
When the twenty-fifth episode was broadcast, the ratings suddenly changed again.
"Dad, what's the matter, are you calling so late?" A young white-collar worker took off his high heels and lay down on the bed, "Where's my mother?"
"...your mother has been crying, and I can't persuade you, so I'm here to call you." Dad couldn't help sighing, "I made dinner today, and I washed the rice bowls, but your mother still can't help it." Hold on, I can only call you."
"Dad, you didn't do something outside that caused your mother to behave like this, right?" things."
"Everyone can see how I treat your mother. Your mother is not crying because of me, but because of Lu Ping'an!"
"Who?" The female white-collar worker was stunned for a moment, "Do I know you?"
"It's the actor who played the leading role in "My Stepfather". Today episode 25 is shown. He was diagnosed with cancer, and his relationship with the female teacher is basically over."
"so?"
"You also know that your mother can't help but cry every time she watches those Korean dramas. This Lu Ping'an is her favorite character in the past few years. If she is about to die, she must not bear it."
"...Dad, would you like me to buy you some posters of this actor so that you can tell mom that he is still alive and well." The female white-collar worker almost suspected that she had heard it wrong, and that her father actually called her for this reason
"Okay, let's try it. Hey."
After the female white-collar worker hung up the phone, she still felt unreal, and planned to post on Weibo to complain about the influence of this drama on mothers. After posting the complaints, Weibo immediately sent a message saying that "my stepfather" had been upgraded to a super topic.
When the female white-collar clicked on this topic, she was instantly stunned by a bunch of popular Weibo posts.
Scroll down to ten articles, and all ten articles are lamenting how Lu Ping An got cancer. The five words "Lu Ping An cancer" directly became the trending search.
A female white-collar worker clicked on a Weibo with tens of thousands of comments and reposts, and saw a short video posted by the blogger. In the video, the blogger's mother and aunt watched TV while crying.
"I am convinced. Cancer is a bloody routine that will never go out of fashion. The most frightening thing is that "My Stepfather" actually photographed cancer in such detail that my mother planned to have a comprehensive physical examination tomorrow. She used to It’s all embarrassing because it’s too expensive.”
"Blogger, I can understand you. My mother has been crying all day and said that she doesn't want to watch Blue Sky TV anymore. I don't know what Blue Sky TV thinks? Candle candles."
"Big liar, there are so many sugars in the front, and they are all for stabbing now?!"
"The Lantern Festival is almost over, can't Blue Sky Satellite TV give a happy ending? I don't want my mother to cry for the new year, hello!"
"The lead actor Mei Zihan, hurry up and take a few selfies for my mother, tell her that Lu Ping'an is not dead yet, he is alive and kicking!"

"Director, our complaint calls have been blown up." The director of the marketing department smiled and reported to the director, "In addition, many advertisers hope to increase their money and place multiple advertisements in the upcoming "My Stepfather" , In addition, there are quite a few brands planning to compete for title titles at the beginning and end of the finale."
"There's no rush." The director smiled slightly, "We'll wait until the ratings of the penultimate day come out. What's the ratings for today?"
"It's about to break 5. If it succeeds, then this "My Stepfather" will break the record of the last TV series "Woman Twenty-Nine" by actress Li Ruo seven years ago, and become the TV drama rating champion in seven years! "The director of the Propaganda Department really wanted to give the director a golden body. The director said it would become a national drama, and now it really is a national drama!
"Back then, "Woman Twenty-Nine" strengthened her fan base and made her start directly on the big screen." Deputy Minister Li, oh, now Minister Li should be very proud of this, " TV dramas about family relationships have always been killers in ratings. Although the market has been deviated from the right track due to the IP boom in recent years, "My Stepfather" undoubtedly proves that family dramas will never go out of style."
"Director, now that the funds are sufficient, do we need to buy some family dramas again?" the Minister of Finance asked.
"No need." The director waved his hand, "This drama has almost overdrawn the ratings of family distress dramas in the next two years. It is the right time, place and people to have such ratings. Miracles cannot be replicated again. Instead of this , why not ask Mei Zihan which TV series will be next? If possible, you can try to get in touch."
"But director, Mei Zihan doesn't seem to have an agent yet." The Minister of Finance said depressedly. He had actually thought about this a long time ago, but he couldn't stand the fact that Mei Zihan is now closed to filming, and there is no agent at all.
"No agent?" The head of the station was stunned for a moment, "Not yet? There should be so many agents who are willing to choose for him."
"this… "
"It's okay, you give me Wen Mingjiang's phone number, and I'll contact you later." The director thought for a while and said, "You can do a simple bidding meeting for the finale advertisement of "My Stepfather" , and by the way, do another wave of publicity for "My Stepfather" at the end."
"yes."
"Let's talk about the next question, what are your plans for the next drama series..."
District 9 Forum.
Topic: Ziwei star from heaven, "My Stepfather" successfully broke 5 tonight, beating "Woman Twenty-Nine" to become the champion of ratings in the past seven years, and then we will see where it will fall, the average Where can I go.
1L: Sofa!
2L: ... This average ratings is already a level that countless TV dramas can't even reach the highest point in their lifetime. Worship dramas.
3L: Thank goodness the show is coming to an end, and "Those Easy Loves" can finally have two episodes a day!
4L: Everyone, remember, if you are reborn, you must invest in this dark horse drama, and you must get the characters in it even if you die.
5L: The fourth brother is right, I can't forget it even if I want to.
6L: "My Stepfather" will have its finale the day after tomorrow, so it can almost be used as a ratings ranking for the Spring Festival show.
7L: Someone is already doing it. I haven’t seen any fans of “Drunken Fairy Dust” recently, and I’m still a little lonely.
…
99L: The idiot fans upstairs ruined dozens of floors, tsk tsk, why don't you go back and check your ratings? funny.
100L: Don't worry about these idiots upstairs, they feel that their dramas are getting lower and lower every day. Don't talk about production or plot, if you compare my master's crying scene with Mei Zihan's, you will know that you are going to shut up.
101L: Which TV series will Mei Zihan play next? He is soaring right now, he has ratings records in hand, he has a good image, and his acting skills are also very good. Many TV dramas should be rushing to get him.
102L: I heard that he doesn't have an agent now, and he doesn't have any background or resources. Even if those big bosses want to use him, they have to consider his business popularity.
…
176L: Someone posted and analyzed it. Mei Zihan's fans are almost all drama fans, and most drama fans are mothers. The consumption of mothers is very rational, and it does not match the positioning of many big-name products. It is easy for Mei Zihan to become a top actor on the road of actor, but it is difficult for me to become a popular star.
177L: It's mainly about image positioning. The more people watch him act in this drama, the more he will always be Lu Pingan. Back then, the ratings of the male actors in the idol drama Shizu were high, and no one has broken it now. Now, the drama is so narrow that they can only stand for commercial brands and sell their feelings.

223L: The current top 10 ratings for the Spring Festival show are released[Picture 1][Picture 2][Picture 3]
224L: Sure enough, "Drunk Fairy Dust", "Those Easy Loves", and "The Final Battle" are all on the list. Wait, what the hell is "The Widow of the Li Family" that ranks fourth? CCTV, how come I have never heard of it.
225L: Pfft, let’s forget about CCTV TV dramas. It seems that the girl who sorts out the ratings is not very familiar with our rules. We generally don't count CCTV TV series, but simply count local stations.
226L: But this "Sister-in-law of the Li family" also has a ratings of 0.6, which is only slightly lower than the third-ranked "Drunken Fairy Dust".
227L: Do you want to redo one
228L: The viewership of CCTV is different from that of other local stations. No matter how good their ratings are, you don’t know. If you count CCTV, the second TV series last year was not Zhen Xianxian's one at all, but CCTV's.
229L: I... got... a... interesting... news...
…
276L: My dad is watching "The Widowed Widow of the Li Family" and I want to tell you a piece of desperate news. The heroine of this show is also our little Meimei!
277L: Damn, don’t scare me upstairs [Scared GIF]
278L: Fear +1
