The next day, six in the morning.
Fang Xiaole learned from the lesson of the previous week and got up early. Sure enough, he saw that Zhang Zhiqin, who lived in the same room with him, was already awake.
At this moment, I was lying on my side on the bed, holding my mobile phone and constantly browsing the news about "Longing for Life".
"How is it? What do the audience think of the second episode?"
Fang Xiaole asked him.
"Hey, Brother Fang, you can't sleep like me?"
Zhang Zhiqin turned over and saw Fang Xiaole standing beside his bed. He quickly got up and said excitedly:
"There are more comments about our show online than last week, and a lot of them are positive. Brother Fang, I think we might be taking off."
"Word of mouth is one thing, but the ultimate result still depends on the ratings."
Fang Xiaole was much calmer and asked casually, "What do the audience think of the other shows?"
Zhang Zhiqin replied:
"This episode of 'Flower Show' seems to be quite good. Many netizens say it's much better than the first episode. 'Laugh Out Loud' is also about the same. Only 'Ace Wars' seems to be a little worse.
Brother Fang, I think it will be quite difficult for us to surpass "Hua Er Xiu"."
Fang Xiaole laughed and said, "Didn't you just say we were going to take off? How did it change so quickly?"
Zhang Zhiqin chuckled, "We only ranked seventh in the ratings last week. If we can get into the top five this time, we'll be a huge success!"
Fang Xiaole was speechless at this guy, "Your standards are really low! If Deputy Director Li knew you were so unambitious, he would be furious!"
The two got up, washed up quickly, and walked out of the farmhouse rented by the program crew in Mannao Village. The other colleagues were almost up as well. After a simple breakfast, everyone went up the mountain to the Orange House to prepare for the recording.
Two more female singers will be here as guest stars today.
Five episodes have been recorded, and everyone is familiar with the entire recording process, and the preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner.
It's just that from time to time someone would look at the watch, waiting for a certain time point to come.
The program crew, which usually had a cheerful atmosphere, seemed a little silent this morning.
"It's half past eight. You can ask the station for data now."
It was half past eight when someone suddenly said something.
Then everyone's eyes turned to Luo Hui. The ratings data of the previous night would usually be released during the next day's working hours, so now he could call the station to ask about the ratings.
Luo Hui took a deep breath, took out his phone, and suddenly Xiao Le said:
"Xiao Fang, why don't you ask?"
Fang Xiaole was stunned, then said with a smile: "I'm not familiar with Sister Chen from the Statistics Department."
Luo Hui glared at him and said, "I've already called you Sister Chen, but you're still not familiar with me? Last time, I heard Chen Jie praise you for being both capable and handsome. How could I not be familiar with you? Ask me now!"
Fang Xiaole didn't expect Luo Hui to be so timid that he didn't even have the courage to ask for data. He had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and call Chen Jie, who was in charge of this area in the Statistics Department.
"Sister Chen, I'm sorry to bother you so early. I wanted to ask if the ratings for our show last night are out yet?"
"Yeah, yeah... I see. Thank you, Sister Chen. Treating me to a meal? Introducing me to a blind date? Well, Sister Chen, I have something else to do. I'll bring you a gift next time I come back!"
Fang Xiaole finally hung up the phone with the enthusiastic middle-aged woman. When he looked up, he saw that the entire program crew was staring at him eagerly.
He cleared his throat, walked to the middle of the yard, and said loudly:
"Our show's ratings last night were 0.85%, ranking third!"
The yard was quiet for a moment, and Zhang Zhiqin was the first to jump up.
"Holy crap! Breaking 0.8 and making it into the top three! That's awesome!"
The others also jumped up and cheered and applauded.
"We're in third place! Hahaha!"
"From 0.6 to 0.85, it really took off!"
"Director Luo is awesome, Director Fang is awesome!"
A group of people surrounded Fang Xiaole and Luo Hui, as if they were going to throw them into the air to celebrate.
“Stop, stop!”
Fang Xiaole quickly stopped them and warned loudly:
"Don't be too happy, everyone. We're only third, not even first!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Zhiqin couldn't help laughing:
"Brother Fang, you're kidding! What kind of investment is this show of ours? What kind of investment do other shows like 'Flower Show' and 'Ace Battle' have? How can we possibly get first place? Third place is already pretty good!"
The others were not as surprised as he was, but they all had similar thoughts. They all felt that it was a small miracle that "Longing for Life" could jump from seventh to third.
"Then do you know where this episode of 'Ace Wars' ranks?"
Fang Xiaole asked with a smile.
"We're ranked third, so 'Ace Wars' is ranked fourth?"
Someone answered, and everyone else nodded.
Although the performance of the first episode of "Ace War" was a bit disappointing, after all, it was invested so heavily, and the production is still quite good.
"Wrong guess, Ace Wars is ranked sixth!"
Fang Xiaole's words caused a burst of surprise among the crowd. No one could have imagined that this program, which Kyoto TV had carefully created to occupy the Thursday time slot, was only ranked sixth.
"Brother Fang, where does 'Flower Show' rank?"
Zhang Zhiqin asked, after all, Yunhai TV and Apple TV are old enemies, and everyone still wants to watch Yunhai TV's programs.
“‘Flower Show’ came in first, and ‘Laugh Out Loud’ came in second.”
However, Fang Xiaole's words disappointed them, and the performance of "Huaer Show" remained strong.
"But the ratings for this episode of 'Flower Show' were only 0.9%, down 0.01 from the previous episode, and even further away from breaking 1."
