29. Official launch

After Guan Miao changed his clothes and confirmed that everything was correct, the staff felt relieved. Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Guan Miao.

"Wait a moment, are the other teachers here?"

The staff member thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Shen Yujun has already arrived. I don't know the situation of the other teachers."

"Thank you for your help."

At 1:55, the staff came and knocked on the door and asked them to get ready to go. Guan Miao and Shuangshuang checked their clothes and found no problems before they went out.

"Miaomiao, I've checked it out. There are probably about a hundred people there. Don't be nervous later."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

In the waiting area, Zheng Yuan confirmed the number of people one by one, and only spoke quietly to the host through the headset after everyone arrived.

After receiving the news, the host saw that the time was almost up and said directly: "Now let us invite the leading actors of the crew of "Ding Feng Hua" to the stage.

Amidst warm applause and various cheers, the leading actors took turns to go on stage to meet the audience.

Seeing the audience's enthusiasm, the host immediately stepped out to control the situation, "I think the creators of Ding Feng Hua must have felt the audience's enthusiasm.

Now, let the creators introduce themselves to everyone."

As soon as the host finished speaking, Zheng Yuan, who was standing in the middle, was the first to pick up the microphone and introduce himself.

After Zheng Yuan’s introduction, it was the turn of the male protagonist Qiao Lu.

As soon as he picked up the microphone, there was cheering from the audience and fans held up banners.

Guan Miao took a quick look and saw that a large group of people in the lower left corner seemed to be holding banners and cheering sticks. They seemed to be fans of Qiao Lu.

When it was Ran Yunhua's turn, the scene was quite big, with a large area in the lower right corner filled with her fans.

Among the remaining leading actors, only Shen Yujun has more fans than these two. As for Yu Wenming, Guan Miao and others, when they spoke, there were only a few sporadic cheers from the audience.

Maybe the theater or crew hired them as extras because they were afraid of embarrassment, so it was a way of saving their face.

As Deng Ling said before, no one would care about a young star who had just debuted. Coupled with the turmoil in the past few days, most of the audience and media reporters focused on Zheng Yuan and the male and female protagonists.

Guan Miao was standing at the very edge, with even less presence. Throughout the entire event, only one reporter asked her questions.

But her presence was not in vain. She listened carefully to other people's speeches and analyzed how they responded.

An hour later, the host suggested taking a group photo in the final segment.

Not surprisingly, Guan Miao was placed at the very edge. If you didn't look carefully, no one would notice that there was someone here.

After the meeting, Zheng Yuan came over to ask about her situation, "How do you feel about being ignored for so long?"

"It's okay, Director Zheng, don't worry. Sister Deng Ling told me before I came here that I might be benched, so I'm mentally prepared."

Zheng Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her say that. He was afraid that Guan Miao would feel unbalanced and go to complain to Deng Ling or Chi Yi. Unexpectedly, she accepted it quite well.

Thinking of this, he looked up to Guan Miao even more. "I'm glad you think so. Go back and have a good rest. Don't forget your flight at 8 o'clock tonight."

"Well, goodbye, Director Zheng."

Three days of running around had obviously taken a toll on everyone, and every actor had a look of fatigue on their face.

On February 9, New Year's Eve, Guan's parents called her at around 8 o'clock in the evening and told her to have a good rest.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm fine now. You two should take care of yourselves too. Tomorrow is the last show, but plane tickets are hard to come by. Sister Deng Ling bought a ticket for the 11th. She should be home around 3 or 4 in the afternoon."

"Okay, then when we're almost there, text Dad and we'll pick you up."

"Um."

After saying goodbye to his parents, Guan Miao turned to look at An Jing, "Sister An Jing, aren't you going back for the New Year?"

"No," she said, glancing at Guan Miao. "Why, don't you want to celebrate the New Year with me?"

"Of course not. I'm afraid you'll be watching over me all the time and won't have time to develop a relationship with your own parents."

When she heard the word "parents," her expression immediately turned cold, and she said vaguely, "They will understand."

Seeing that she was unhappy, Guan Miao didn't ask any further questions and pulled her to rest together.

February 10th is the last meeting and also the day when the drama will be broadcast.

As soon as Guan Miao arrived at the scene, he found that everyone had happy expressions on their faces. It seemed that everyone was looking forward to a comeback tonight.

At 7:30 in the evening, Guan Miao turned on the TV in the hotel. After the theme song was over, he took a photo of the three characters "Episode 1" and prepared to post it on WeChat Moments. Xiao N took over the Weibo post.

After finishing the promotion and publicity, Guan Miao put away his phone and started watching the movie with An Jing.

Forty-five minutes later, the first episode officially ended, and Guan Miao finally felt relieved. If the subsequent episodes were of this quality, they would definitely be a big hit.

Thinking of this, Guan Miao turned to look at An Jing and asked her opinion.

"I seldom watch TV, so my opinion may not be very useful to you."

Guan Miao thought about it and it seemed so. People who rarely watch TV dramas would probably feel that everything they watch is the same.

"Then I'd better check out the reviews online."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and opened a certain Weibo account, only to find that "Ding Fenghua" was on several hot searches.

"Zheng Yuan is showing off his skills again!"

"Actor Qiao Lu came down to earth to save TV dramas"

“What kind of classical beauty is Ran Yunhua!!”

These trending searches were probably bought by the agency or the crew. Guan Miao took a look and found that they were basically just fans' flattery, so he stopped reading.

Instead, a piece of information about "Ding Fenghua's premiere ratings" caught her eye.

The finale of "Ding Feng Hua," the series before it, "Ocean Family," had a viewership rating of 1.8%, while the premiere of "Ding Feng Hua" had a viewership rating of 1.3%, barely matching "Ocean Family's" popularity. However, how it performs in the future will depend on the quality of the series.

"A 1.3% viewership rating should be pretty good, right?" Guan Miao said as he clicked on the official blog to see if there was any battle report.

The first post on the official Weibo account read, "Congratulations to 'Ding Feng Hua' for breaking 8,800 views in just 40 minutes after its premiere, setting a record for the fastest popularity of a program to break 8,800 on the @Lizhi Video site."

Guan Miao then remembered that the online broadcast rights of the drama were distributed to Lizhi Video, and members can watch four episodes in the first broadcast. Thinking of this, she hurriedly took out her tablet and found that she did not have a membership.

After charging it in a hurry, I cast the screen to the TV.

"Sister Anjing, let me tell you, I'll be appearing in the second episode, so you better watch carefully."

"Um."

The two of them watched three episodes in a row and still felt unsatisfied, so when they were about to go to bed, they quietly discussed the plot with her for the first time.

"Miaomiao, does the queen played by Teacher Xu really love you?"

Guan Miao, who was doing skin care, turned to look at her in confusion, "Well, why do you ask?"
