Friday soon arrived. At 8:30 in the morning, everyone from the "Longing for Life" production team was still waiting in front of the rented farmhouse at the foot of Mount Manau.
Last night was the third episode of the Thursday 4 p.m. show, and everyone got up early today to wait for the ratings data.
After the Huang Yin "poison milk" incident, "Hua Er Xiu" cut all of Huang Yin's shots and was forced to combine the original third and fourth episodes into one.
This barely made up the running time, but the continuity of the program was greatly reduced. Even the die-hard fans who watched the show just for the queen Yang Jiaxin expressed their disappointment with "Hua Er Show" online.
However, "Laugh Out Loud" and "Ace Battle" maintained their level, and netizens also gave good reviews to the third episodes of these two programs.
It can be said that after the incident with "Hua'er Show", other programs became the beneficiaries, and some viewers who originally watched "Hua'er Show" switched to other programs.
How much of this lost audience you can retain depends on the quality of each program.
After the broadcast of "Longing for Life" last night, the online reputation has slightly declined compared to the previous two episodes.
Apart from the fact that one of the guest stars acted too pampered and failed to fit into the overall atmosphere of rural life, which made this episode a little flawed, it was more because some passers-by who did not know the truth were led astray by the negative information released by Yunhai TV before.
They thought that the production crew of "Longing for Life" really destroyed the local ecology in order to record the program. They looked down on the program and naturally could not give it a good evaluation.
"Brother Luo, I think it's good enough for us to hold on to third place. What do you think?"
Everyone standing in the yard was looking eagerly at Fang Xiaole who was making a phone call not far away. Zhang Zhiqin couldn't help but say to Luo Hui next to her.
The atmosphere was a bit tense. Everyone was staring at Fang Xiaole while he was making a phone call. No one spoke, and it felt quite depressing.
"Third is fine, third is enough."
Luo Hui murmured and nodded, looking at Fang Xiaole's back, and couldn't help but say:
"Xiao Fang, why is it taking you so long? When I asked about the first episode, you finished it in a few seconds."
Zhang Zhiqin looked sideways at Luo Hui, thinking, Director Luo, this isn't the first time you've called the station to ask about program data. Sister Chen from the Statistics Department has always liked young and handsome guys, so of course she'd chat with Brother Fang for a while, otherwise why would she chat with a bald middle-aged man like you?
After waiting for almost another minute, the yard became increasingly silent and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. When someone couldn't help but want to go over and urge him, Fang Xiaole finally hung up the phone.
He walked back with an apologetic smile on his face: "Sorry everyone, Sister Chen just said a few more words to me, everyone has been waiting for a long time."
"Brother Fang, I endured the stomachache and didn't go to the bathroom. I was just waiting for the ratings you mentioned. Please hurry up."
A staff member said anxiously, holding his stomach.
"Uh, our show's ratings last night were... 0.91%, which puts it in second place!"
Fang Xiaole was afraid that this brother would shit in his pants, so he didn't keep him in suspense and told him the result directly.
"Wow!!"
The crowd in the yard all applauded, everyone was excited. The guy with the stomachache screamed and rushed into the toilet with a look of half joy and half pain on his face.
"We're in second place, and the ratings broke 0.9. That's amazing!"
"Thinking about the first episode, few people knew about this show. I didn't expect it to become so popular so quickly."
"Oh, it's so difficult!"
The staff of the program team were all very moved. From no one paying attention to the show before it was broadcast to the current viewership rating of over 0.9%, this journey was really very touching.
"Xiao Fang, which program is ranked first?"
Luo Hui suppressed his inner excitement and asked Xiao Le.
His words also brought the people who were immersed in joy and emotion back to their senses and made them look at Fang Xiaole again.
Someone murmured quietly, "Isn't it still 'Flower Show'?"
The person next to him shook his head: "That shouldn't be possible. How can 'Flower Show' still be number one when it's so unpopular?"
"Then we're both in second place. Could it be that 'Flower Show' has dropped to third place? Isn't that a huge gap?"
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Fang Xiaole smiled and asked:
"Is there anyone else in a hurry to go to the bathroom?"
"No, no!" Everyone hurriedly shook their heads. Even the brother who had a stomachache just now solved it in a few seconds and rushed out of the toilet.
"Since no one is in a hurry to go to the toilet, I will tell you slowly." Fang Xiaole said with a smile.
"Fuck, Director Fang, how come you've turned bad? Please stop keeping us in suspense!" Everyone complained.
"Xiao Fang, is the gap between us and the first place very small?" Luo Hui is an old hand after all, and he saw something from the relaxed expression on Fang Xiaole's face.
"Director Luo guessed right." Fang Xiaole gave Luo Hui a thumbs up and continued:
"Last night, the top spot went to 'Laugh Out Loud,' with a 0.95% audience rating."
Wow!
Suddenly there was a cry of surprise in the yard.
“‘Laugh Out Loud’ is actually ranked number one?!”
"We're not bad either, climbing up from seventh place!"
"Let's try to get first place in the next round?"
"Don't be too optimistic. What if we fall out of the top three again next week?"
Everyone started discussing it again. Zhang Zhiqin asked, "Brother Fang, did 'Flower Show' really drop to third place?"
Everyone knows that Yunhai TV has poured a lot of resources into the program "Hua'er Show". The other party intends to use this program to completely dominate the Thursday 4 o'clock time slot.
But no one could have imagined that this program, which was so popular before it was launched, would drop from first to third after only three episodes.
It was really unexpected.
"Third place is 'Ace Wars', and 'Flower Show' is only fourth with a viewership rating of 0.75%."
Fang Xiaole's calm voice was like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing ripples.
"Fuck, 'Flower Show' actually fell out of the top three?"
"Only a 0.7 rating, this is too bad!"
"Haha, who told them to be so arrogant before and even hire some trolls to smear us? They deserve it!"
After everyone was surprised, more people felt gloating.
Before this, everyone considered "Flower Show" as the main opponent, and also a somewhat unattainable opponent.
It can be said that in the entire program team, except Fang Xiaole, no one thought that "Longing for Life" could surpass "Flower Show" in ratings.
Even if we can surpass them, there will definitely be a bloody fight.
But no one expected that this goal would be achieved so inexplicably.
"I still have to thank my self-sacrifice method, hahahaha!"
Zhang Zhiqin laughed out loud towards the sky.
Fang Xiaole was used to this guy's inexplicable self-confidence. He shook his head, but he knew in his heart who the "Longing for Life" production team should really thank this time.
She is such a lucky star!
