Chapter 639 Live Streaming Format
Everyone guessed that the ratings for Tang Xing's new drama would rise.
But when the list was updated, they were all shocked!
From 21st to 9th!
The viewership rating rose from 0.9% to 2.3%!
Those unfamiliar with the industry might think that such an improvement is nothing special, and the data doesn't seem exaggerated.
Compared to the terrifying 30% viewership rating of "Chinese Paladin," whether it's 0.9, 1, or 2, it makes no difference.
But actually?
It's quite normal for a TV series to have an initial viewership rating of less than 1.
Because Earth has a large enough population and many television stations, it broadcasts a constant stream of shows.
In order not to undermine the confidence of some new entertainment companies, the association even specially divided the new drama ratings chart into an overall chart and a regional chart.
This is enough to show that it's not easy for a TV series to become popular.
Even a 0.1% increase in viewership is a cause for celebration.
In such a situation, any new drama that can consistently rank in the top twenty on the combined charts of the four continents (east, west, south, and north) can be considered excellent.
It's worth noting that just last week, after the rankings were updated, the crew of the 20th-ranked drama held a dinner to celebrate entering the top 20. They were so happy that everyone got drunk, which became a laughing stock on the trending topics list.
Now, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not only easily entered the top 20, but has also rushed into the top 10!
It was unexpected by everyone.
This includes fans who have always believed that Tangxing Entertainment can 'create miracles'.
The moment the list was updated, the entire internet seemed to fall silent.
Until someone in real life exclaimed in surprise.
This triggered a series of chain reactions.
[My friends who admire Zigui's work have already started cheering. What's going on now? Are they still saying that the death knell has been tolled for martial arts dramas?]
[Sigh, it seems all I can do is mock them. Back then, "Chinese Paladin" had 30% viewership ratings, but now "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" doesn't even reach 3%. Tangxing Entertainment has truly declined!]
[Sigh, these shows used to be number one or two on the charts, but now they've fallen to ninth. They've really declined!]
[So what if the ratings skyrocket? It's all temporary. I now think that Han Ruilin's live broadcast mishap was definitely a publicity stunt orchestrated by Tangxing Entertainment!]
[Oh, the ratings used to be 30%, but that didn't include the Western Continent. The Western Continent has a larger population than the three continents combined, so it's no wonder the ratings were so high.]
[And this is all hype... Please, Han Ruilin is an artist under Beizhou Entertainment. The live stream was a collaboration between the production team and Beizhou Media Company. That nonsensical analysis post came from a certain media outlet in Nanzhou. How did Tangxing Entertainment instruct them to do this? Was Beizhou Entertainment acquired?]
[Tangxing Entertainment at most benefited from the shareholder's influence, but the fact that the ratings have risen so quickly shows that this martial arts drama has something special.]
[It's not just that it has some talent, it's that it's truly excellent! Please, those of you with preconceived notions, watch a few episodes before you judge!]
……
The online sentiment reversed instantly.
The long article that was originally praised by many people has now become a typical example of nonsense and mindless bandwagoning.
But how many of them remain stubbornly opinionated is unknown.

When Lu Wantang received this news, she was already in Xizhou.
Tang Xing's branch office in Xizhou has already been established and has an initial team. In addition, with the "Voice of Xizhou" competition about to officially start, she simply took a long leave from school to come to Xizhou to oversee things.
Anyway, there aren't many courses for juniors and seniors at the university, especially this year, many people have gone to places like South Island, North Island, and West Island to start internships.
Even Tangxing Entertainment recruited many of Lu Wantang's classmates.
In addition to Chang Yun and several veteran employees, several interns who were willing to go to Xizhou for development accompanied the group on this trip.
Just as Lu Wantang was about to go to lunch, she heard someone mentioning the ratings.
With just one glance, Chang Yun understood her meaning. He immediately opened the tablet he was carrying and viewed the official rankings and Weibo trending topics.
Lu Wantang glanced down and saw the trending headline marked with the word 'hot' at the end.
And related topics below.
Ranked ninth! The comeback of wuxia dramas!
Is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" any good?
Zigui's new song redefines the martial arts style
The production team of "Star Chaser" responded
Han Ruilin is suspected of having a falling out with the company.
……
The efforts of the public relations team were not in vain.
The top three spots on the list all belong to Tangxing Entertainment.
This pleased Lu Wantang greatly.
This matter has been temporarily put on hold; the most important thing now is the premiere of "Voice of the West".
The group took their seats at the dining table one by one.
Chang Yun was still introducing the various competition rules that had appeared in previous episodes of "Voice of Xizhou".
He paused for a moment when talking about the broadcast:
"This time, the show will be broadcast live. Richard believes that this will make the show look more real and dramatic, and the show's ratings and online discussion will be presented to everyone in the form of data."
Lu Wantang glanced sideways upon hearing this: "Has he been provoked?"
Chang Yun shrugged: "The 'West Continent Singer' program team openly provoked him during an interview, so he probably couldn't stand it."
The two shows have been rivals for a long time, employing various tactics, both overt and covert. "Westworld Voice" has been at a disadvantage in recent years, so it's understandable that Richard, the new director, couldn't swallow this insult.
Moreover, this time, the two programs will be broadcast at the same time, and both sides are holding their breath, wanting to have a decisive round and try to completely crush the other.
"In our Eastern Continent, such open provocation is truly rare. If someone dared to do this, they might be attacked by the media."
"It's different here in Xizhou. Whether it's passersby or the media, everyone is watching with amusement. Most of them think that the Xizhou Singer program team is very confident."
Lu Wantang commented casually, "The local customs are different."
After saying that, she asked curiously, "Will 'West Continent Singer' also be broadcast live?"
"That's right, they all learned it from us anyway."
Even the real-time viewership ratings and popularity data are the result of competition between the two program teams.
The audience was naturally happy to see it happen.
"Since the broadcast format has changed, the competition format should also be different, right?"
Lu Wantang scrolled through the information on the tablet, looking at it over and over again several times, but there wasn't a single word about any changes to the competition format.
"Well, Richard's assistant said the format will be announced after the show starts, which would be more interesting."
"Hmm—it seems he's really not afraid of messing up this show."
"Maybe it's related to the 'customs' of Xizhou? As long as the show is interesting enough, viewers might just watch it as a joke if something goes wrong halfway through."
"Too."
Lu Wantang nodded.
The conversation between the two abruptly ended as the Western Continent's specialty meal arrived.
