A week later.
The entertainment industry has been too quiet recently, and the most posts in the eight groups are about two hit dramas.
It should be said that before "Ode to Joy" was broadcast, no one had ever thought that one day it would be comparable to "Legend of Yunlong" and become the second TV series in the year with a viewership rating of over 1.
Besides that, the most watched show is probably the popular variety show "Variety Show". The four regular guests: Tang Yue, Jiang Yang, Pang Li, and Tian Xiaohua who joined in the second season have become the "Four Kings of Variety" in the audience's hearts.
Su Yin and the others were all happy for Tian Xiaohua.
After all, when they competed together, they had a good relationship with Tian Xiaohua. However, Tian Xiaohua had always been quite obscure and was about to retire, but she finally broke out at this time.
"I'm so tired, every day!" Su Yin lay down on the floor: "It would be great if I could skip training."
Lin Xuan'er came over to comfort him, "In a week, we'll be competing on 'Team Unlimited.' It's going to be live, and if we make a mistake, it'll be exposed to the entire nation!"
"She's not afraid!" Tang Yue, like Su Yin, simply laid on the ground. The two of them seemed like two salted fish. "The latest drama has netizens sympathizing with Qiu Yingying! Now, no matter what our little Su does, she feels sorry for her!"
Su Yin stuck out her tongue. "I'm jealous, right? Unlike you, now everyone says you act so well, are you just as materialistic as Fan Shengmei in real life?"
"I'm the worst off," Lin Xuan'er said, speechless. Honestly, the ratings for "Ode to Joy" have been soaring, and the show is becoming increasingly talked about. As actors, they're certainly happy. However, Qu Xiaoxiao, played by Lin Xuan'er, remains the most criticized character. "My mom has been taking her anger out on me lately because of my role!"
"Ah," Wang Xingrui was rubbing her throat. "Am I not the most pitiful person? Not only do I have a low sense of presence, but many people also privately messaged me and asked, 'Ruirui Ruirui, why are you the only Yue Shao not participating in Ode to Joy?' I said, 'I'm Guan Juer,' and they haven't reacted to what this character has done! I think, apart from Bai Zongguan who was pelted with eggs when he went out, I'm the worst off! Even Brother Chen, who just appeared on the screen, has a much greater sense of presence than me!"
"Pfft, Ruirui, you're so resentful!" Su Yin smiled and said, "Speaking of Brother Chen, he seems to have rarely appeared on TV shows recently. Brother Bai said that he seems to be practicing in secret as well!"
"What is Brother Chen practicing?" Lin Xuan'er also became interested.
"I don't know," Tang Yue answered. "Yesterday, Xiao Xiaosu and I went to ask Guan Fei about this, but she said she didn't know. Do you believe her? She's a close confidant of Brother Yang and Brother Bai! So I guess Brother Chen is brewing some secret weapon!"
"Maybe it's a new song!" Wang Xingrui said weakly, "He's been in our company for quite a while, so he should have a new song."
"Everyone!" Guan Fei rushed into their practice room and said with a smile, "Yesterday's ratings are out!"
"Come out so late?" Tang Yue was a little confused.
"Yesterday was the weekend, so the show was supposed to be released late! Our ratings reached 1.6 yesterday!" Guan Fei was very happy. This result could be said to be the best result among the TV dramas broadcast on Bashu Satellite TV in the past few years.
Just now, people from Bashu TV called to express their gratitude to Zhou Yiyang, almost to the point of saying that he saved Bashu TV.
This result is not bad even for a top-tier TV station. Remember, last year's best drama only had an average viewership rating of 2.1. "Ode to Joy" hasn't even aired halfway yet, and its online popularity hasn't reached its peak yet, so we can expect it to break 2.0.
If many people looked down on this emotional TV series focusing on urban women before it was aired, now almost all major film and television companies are launching TV series with similar themes.
The pursuit of capital is a strong proof of the success of "Ode to Joy".
"This rating is pretty good!" Tang Yue was very excited. "I remember it was only 1.1 two days ago? How come it suddenly increased so much?"
"The clip of Qiu Yingying being tricked by Bai Zongguan on Saturday went viral after it aired. Douyin (TikTok) was flooded with this short video, with everyone cursing Bai Zongguan. It resonated with many people who had experienced similar office bullying.
But our CEO Zhou is really awesome. The preview specifically showed the part where a few of us sisters went to deal with Manager Bai. So before the show even started yesterday, the ratings on Bashu TV started to rise."
"That's amazing," Lin Xuan'er sighed. "But it's also true. Yesterday, so many people on my WeChat Moments were posting about how happy they were, how they felt sorry for Qiu Yingying, and how they praised our Sister Fan for her beauty and wild style! I feel like we weren't this popular when we were on 101, even though the ratings were obviously higher."
"Yeah, yeah, I was surprised too," Wang Xingrui said. "Even though 101 was so popular, my friends circle wouldn't be like it is now, with everyone discussing the plot all day long. It's so weird."
"Well," Guan Fei tried to analyze it, "I guess it's because most of your friends are older. 101 was a huge hit, but it was still popular among young people. And TV dramas are meant for everyone. Anyway, you guys have really made a name for yourself among the general public."
"What about 'The Legend of Yunlong'?" Su Yin asked curiously, "They keep mentioning us. Has the ratings for 'The Legend of Yunlong' dropped again?"
