"President Jiang, this is terrible! The Xinxing Video app under the Jiang Group has been subjected to malicious ratings from netizens, and it has now dropped to 3.0 points. If it drops to two points or below, it will be forcibly removed from the app store!"
Jiang Minghui, who was still half asleep, woke up instantly upon hearing the news and sat up straight.
"What did you say?"
"XinXing Video app has been subjected to malicious ratings..."
Jiang Minghui frowned deeply and couldn't help but growl, "Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and contact the app store to lock your points!"
"yes..."
Jiang Minghui hung up the phone and immediately checked the real-time data. "The First Shot" was still firmly at the top of the popularity charts, and its discussion volume and topics far surpassed those of the second place.
Hmph, these meddlesome netizens are just being malicious and giving low scores because they have nothing better to do.
However, he didn't care about the low score at all, as long as the popularity remained stable.
Even if the reputation collapses, it doesn't matter. As long as there's buzz, there's a steady stream of money.
He's just a businessman; what use is reputation to him? As long as he can make money, that's all that matters.
In his view, these netizens are hypocritical; it's all too common for them to criticize while watching.
The more they criticize, the higher the buzz becomes, and the more money he earns.
Therefore, he didn't care about any of that and still had his secretary prepare the celebration banquet for tonight.
When he arrived at the company, his secretary hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to report, "Mr. Jiang, the online comments are very unfavorable to us. If this continues, it will likely negatively impact the viewership and popularity of 'The First Shot'..."
"What do you know?" Jiang Minghui stopped in his tracks, turned around and gave him a cold glare: "Are you questioning my decision?"
The secretary shook her head fearfully, "No...no...I'm just worried..."
Jiang Minghui dismissed it: "What's there to worry about? The more we criticize, the more buzz we get, you know?"
The secretary remained silent...
Is that really the case? But it's only been two days since it aired, and the reviews are already this bad. New viewers will naturally not tune in if they see such terrible reviews.
Oh well, he's just an employee. If the boss isn't worried about him, what is?
Jiang Minghui was so immersed in the joy of success that he could hardly extricate himself. He seemed to see money flowing into his hands, so he simply gave everyone in the company a half-day off to attend the celebration banquet that evening.
This success is not just the success of a TV series, but also a recognition of his years of patience and perseverance, and a recognition of his vision and ability!
Meanwhile, Jiang Ran also received the news.
She couldn't help but let out a disdainful snort: "Opening champagne halfway through? That's all Jiang Minghui is capable of..."
This is only the first episode, and the final result hasn't been decided yet, and he's already gotten this arrogant.
He probably never imagined that the hype surrounding him tonight would plummet like a plane crash, making him a laughing stock in the industry.
I glanced at my watch; it was exactly 6 p.m., and the popularity of "The First Shot" remained at 8,500.
There's one more hour until both shows update.
She wanted to see if Jiang Minghui's victory celebration banquet could continue tonight.
She was also busy during the day, keeping a close eye on online opinions.
Viewers expressed extreme disappointment with "The First Shot," which completely failed to live up to their long-held expectations.
This show is like chocolate made from excrement. It attracts people to try it with its exquisite packaging, but you only realize it's excrement after you've finished eating it. It's purely designed to disgust the audience.
[This is the drama that was supposedly polished over three years? Three years of polishing resulted in a thesis defense?]
[This is supposed to be top-tier director and screenwriter? The plot feels like it's trying too hard to be sophisticated, but it falls flat and just feels cheap. And what are the actors even doing? I can't understand what they're trying to express at all.]
[And wasn't the female lead's younger self played by Jiang Xinrou? What kind of acting was that? She looked crazy and did all sorts of stupid things, like a lunatic.]
[She probably wanted to portray a naive and innocent character, but all she managed was naivety. And she still has the nerve to buy trending topics to praise her acting skills.]
[This crappy show has so many ads! I see its ads no matter which app I open. And with such a terrible plot, how dare they tell people to watch it!]
[How can such a terrible drama be called a blockbuster of the year? Xinxing Video is getting worse and worse; the dramas are getting worse, but the membership is getting more and more expensive. I might as well uninstall it.]
On the contrary, "Thousands of Snowflakes" stood out from the criticism. As a low-budget drama, the plot logic is very good, and the actors' performances are also icing on the cake. Although this drama seems a bit poor, it becomes more and more addictive the more you watch it.
Taking advantage of the break, Jiang Ran added another promotional expense to "Thousands of Snowflakes," advertising it on various platforms, which significantly increased its popularity.
At this point, the popularity of "Thousands of Snowflakes" has exceeded 6,000.
She was confident that tonight, "Thousands of Snowflakes" would surpass "The First Shot" in popularity.
Meanwhile, Jiang Minghui and Jiang Xinrou were busy attending a celebration banquet.
Jiang Minghui booked an entire hotel to celebrate, inviting almost everyone involved in "The First Shot," except for the female lead.
Jiang Xinrou dressed up very elaborately today, and during the interview, she stood next to the male lead, attending as the female lead.
The industry is already used to this kind of situation. Casting popular leads before filming is just for the sake of generating buzz. Once the show becomes a hit, they kick the lead out of the table and promote the person they want to promote.
