Although he was frustrated, he thought that at least they were broadcasting on two network platforms, and the traffic of these two platforms was much stronger than MTV, so it would be effortless for them to crush Wen Qiao.
September 30th arrived as scheduled, [Sweet at Eighteen] and [Old Romance] were broadcast on the same day, and Lu Youyou felt that they were in a competition relationship.
However, Xu Lu arrogantly felt that Wen Qiao and the others' shallow romance drama was not even qualified to be their opponent.
On the night of the premiere, Wen Qiao was calm. She just did what she had to do, tried her best and left the rest to fate. They had done what they should do and it would be up to the audience in the end. She had nothing to worry about.
Lu Youyou and Fang Duo, however, stayed on the MTV platform and kept an eye on the number of clicks.
The same goes for Xu Lu.
Because the male lead of [Feng Yue], Zhao Zhiyan, was a talent show winner and ranked in the top ten in various artist indexes, the traffic he brought was naturally not comparable to that of Wen Qiao and the others' lesser-known drama.
On the first day of broadcast, the number of clicks on [Feng Yue] on both platforms exceeded 50 million, and the number of clicks on both platforms exceeded 100 million.
However, [Eighteen Years Old] only has 20 million views on a single platform.
[Feng Yue] is far better than [Eighteen Years Old] and wins in a crushing manner.
The next day, Douban released its ratings, with [Feng Yue] scoring 7.2, while [Eighteen Years Old] only scoring 5.2.
Xu Lu was very proud and posted some words of thanks on Weibo.
Lu Youyou looked at the Douban comments and couldn't believe it: "It must have been maliciously criticized. How could it only have a score of 5.2?"
Wen Qiao's face was solemn. The show had been aired that night, and with 20 million views, the number of viewers who would rate it was limited. But last night a large number of people came in to give it one star.
It is obviously a malicious smear campaign, and currently the only TV series competing with it is [Feng Yue], so it is clear who is behind the scenes.
No wonder the publicity expenses for [Feng Yue] are so high. All of it is spent on discrediting the opponent. How can it not be a waste of money
Although the other crew spent a high price to maliciously discredit Wen Qiao's TV series, the audience's eyes are sharp.
Whether a TV series is well-made, good-looking, has the most clicks and the most ratings ultimately depends on the passers-by, because the passers-by have the largest base and size.
Several TV drama bloggers posted reviews of [Eighteen Years Old], saying that the drama is very good, funny, warm and touching, and has sports competitions that make people excited when necessary, and the rhythm control is first-rate.
Three days later, the data quietly changed.
[Eighteen Years Old] Daily playback volume: 40 million, rating increased to 6 points
[Feng Yue]'s single-platform playback volume also dropped to 40 million, and the rating dropped to 6.8 points.
There are endless positive reviews about [Eighteen Years Old] on the Internet.
This trend of opening high and closing low made Xu Lu panic. All the comments about [Feng Yue] on the Internet were negative. Except for Zhao Zhiyan's fans who were still trying to save face, they all attacked [Feng Yue] for being too bloated and having too many slow motion shots, which were too tiring to watch.
On the other hand, the reviews of [Eighteen Years Old] were steady and the ratings kept rising, from 8.4.
[Feng Yue] continued to drop to 6.1, and it was only thanks to the support of Zhao Zhiyan’s fans that it barely avoided failing.
After fourteen episodes, the daily playback volume of [Eighteen Years Old] on a single platform has surpassed the playback volume of [Feng Yue] on both platforms.
"Oh yeah!" Lu Youyou jumped up excitedly in the dormitory, "We've made a comeback! Qiao Qiao, the total number of views has exceeded 1 billion. President Jiang will transfer money to us soon. We have to hold a celebration party tonight."
Wen Qiao smiled and said, "Just arrange it."
President Jiang called Wen Qiao and said, "The company will hold a celebration banquet in a few days. President Wen, can you bring them over to attend? Are you free?"
"Of course, we will be there on time. Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
