Chapter 903: Ratings (2nd Update)



At that moment, both dramas had finished their premieres, and the entire network suddenly came alive!

Blogs.

"Starlight's 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' is just too good to watch. The director's fidelity to the original is very high, especially the songs in this drama blow me away!"

"Especially love 'The World Always Welcomes You'!"

"The ending song 'Iron-Blooded Heart' is truly a classic!"

It's been months since we've seen Fish Papa on the seasonal charts. This round of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' series has finally released the songs he should have released. Both songs are as classic and evergreen as always. The seasonal chart is already out. I suggest everyone download it!"

"Downloaded it early, just not sure about the popularity."

"The request chart has already exploded. 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' is first in daily requests!"

"That doesn't prove anything, next door 'Trap the Tiger' is also first in daily requests."

"These two chose different video streaming sites for their collaboration, so it's impossible to compare directly. Let's wait and see the TV ratings."

...

Tribe.

"Lancet's adaptation of 'Trap the Tiger' is so much fun!"

"Hahaha, turning the villain into a big demon lady, can you believe it!"

"The changes to the female lead are fun too. She even overshadowed the male lead. I feel like what Lancet meant is that this novel shifted from a dominant male lead to a dominant female lead."

"Am I the only one who thinks this change is absurd?"

"Can't bear to watch it anymore, the moment I see the female demon lord I drop out of the show. Lancet's changes are simply insulting his own original work. It's nowhere near as successful as 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange'."

"Successful or not, we'll see which one is hotter compared to the 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' next door, right?"

"'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' is broadcast on Penguin Video, and 'Trap the Tiger' is on Catmill. Both are first in requests, there's no way to compare. Also, Tribe is all about 'Trap the Tiger,' while blogs are discussing 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' more. Guess why?"

"Look at the TV ratings, those don't lie."

An official third-party regulatory department has been established, so there is no forgery allowed in the TV ratings, and their credibility is solid.

...

This scene is very interesting.

The Tribe is discussing 'Trap the Tiger';

The blogs are discussing 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes';

Clearly, this is a result deliberately guided by both platforms.

They chose different video streaming websites for collaboration, each topping the request charts.

In this situation, the TV ratings of the two major TV stations became the focus of competition between these two dramas!

Because the TV stations broadcasting these dramas are both very high-profile stations.

Among them.

Starlight's 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' chose Qin Continent's Channel One, the largest TV station in Qin Continent.

The Tribe's 'Trap the Tiger' chose Chu Continent's Channel One, the largest TV station in Chu Continent.

Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao Six Continents have now merged, and everyone can watch TV stations from other continents, so the competition is fair.

Because the audience base of the two TV stations are quite similar.

For a time.

Everyone was paying attention.

Just half an hour after the first broadcast of the two dramas ended, the prime-time TV ratings from various stations in Blue Star were released!

Prime-Time Drama Rankings for Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao!

...

First place: Qin Continent Channel One

Drama: The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Rating: 2.22%

...

Second place: Qi Continent Channel One

Drama: Bright Moon Palace

Rating: 2.01%

...

...

Fifth place: Chu Continent Channel One

Drama: Trap the Tiger

Rating: 1.04%

...

Boom!

Everyone was astonished!

First in prime-time ratings!

Starlight's 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' a martial arts drama, actually helped Qin Continent's Channel One suppress Qi Continent's drama, securing the first place in the prime-time ratings!

...

Tribe.

"Oh my God!"

"This must be the first martial arts drama to top the ratings in recent years, it even beat the drama from Qi Continent! Qi Continent is our famous Blue Star film and television palace. Moreover, 'Bright Moon Palace' has dominated the ratings of the evening drama across six continents since it started airing at the beginning of the month, and yet, it tanked tonight!"

"It actually took down 'Bright Moon Palace'?"

"I'm shocked. 'Bright Moon Palace' was airing its grand finale tonight, which has been the highest-rated episode since it began, truly the brightest moment of the entire series, and it was suddenly knocked over by 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'!"

"It looks like 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' was never even considering 'Trap the Tiger' as a competitor!"

"When 'Trap the Tiger' was about to face 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' head-on, 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' had already silently targeted 'Bright Moon Palace'!"

"'Trap the Tiger' is fifth in ratings, not even half of what 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' got!"

...

Blog.

"This is definitely a crush!"

"Total domination, the premiere's ratings broke two, is Chu Kuang on track to become the top rights holder of Blue Star?"

"I don't really understand, what does a rating over two mean?"

"TV ratings indicate the percentage of television viewers within a specific time period who watch a particular channel out of the total television audience."

"In other words, combining the populations of the Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao continents, an average of two percent of all people watching TV tonight watched 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'. You figure out just how many people that is."

"Oh my God, that's insane!"

"And it gets crazier, because the TV ratings don't count online streaming, and nowadays many viewers choose to follow shows online. Not many people watch TV series as much, and if you include those watching dramas online, the numbers would be even more terrifying!"

...

Martial Arts Circle.

"Has the spring of martial arts arrived!?"

"Looking at the ratings of 'Trap the Tiger', I thought they were high enough, but the ratings of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' are even more terrifying. This seems to be the first time in decades that a martial arts drama has topped the ratings!"

"You can remove the 'seems'."

"Although the TV industry keeps hyping up the martial arts craze, we know very well that no matter how popular martial arts dramas get, they can't beat those costume romances. The emergence of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' has broken this deadlock, and I never thought I'd see a martial arts drama top the charts in this day and age!"

"This is the real martial arts frenzy!"

"Lancet once said, he and Chu Kuang fifty-fifty, wasn't it?"

"From now on, I'm willing to call Lancet 'Mr. Fifty-Fifty'!"

...

TV Industry.

"What the hell, straight to number one!?"

"Isn't 'Bright Moon Palace' from Qi Continent having its grand finale tonight? When it was at its hottest, its invincible rating was suddenly broken?"

"Pfft!"

"Qi Continent must be furious. Our Tribe stirred up Starlight, and in the end, our drama mistakenly hurt 'Bright Moon Palace'. Originally, this drama had been leading the ratings from the start to its finale!"

"Starlight has defied the heavens this time!"

"If only Tribe's new drama had aired one day later, Starlight would have definitely targeted the same slot, and then 'Bright Moon Palace' would have smoothly continued to top the evening ratings until the end!"

"The martial arts craze is really coming!"

...

Qi Continent 'Bright Moon Palace' production team.

"Damn it, we had maintained the top rating for a whole twenty-eight days, and just as we were about to hold on to the end, we were suddenly overturned by a martial arts drama!"

"Tribe is so infuriating!"

"Tribe and Starlight were fighting, but Tribe's drama wasn't even enough to fill the gaps in Starlight's teeth, and they turned around and wiped us out instead!"

"Why did Tribe have to air on the 23rd!"

"If they had aired on the 24th, letting Starlight also follow on the 24th, wouldn't we have been the top-rated throughout?"

"That leader of Tribe, Ling Kong, is the one to blame!"

"Damn Ling Kong!"

The Qi Continent 'Bright Moon Palace' production team was truly infuriated!

And what infuriated them the most was not Starlight or 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'!

It was Tribe!

Because it was Tribe that set the airing date!

They just happened to air on the day of the 'Bright Moon Palace' finale, which was why Starlight followed suit immediately afterward!

This feeling made the 'Bright Moon Palace' production team so frustrated they wanted to vomit blood!

How to describe it?

It's like Xian Yu had already won eleven consecutive titles, and the twelfth was almost in hand, but then, suddenly due to a bizarre accident, the twelfth title was lost. Wouldn't you be furious too?
