Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 111 Start broadcast

The news of the show topping the ratings in April spread throughout the Xia country's TV drama industry in less than half a day.

A drama with a 4.6% viewership rating is not uncommon. Basically, there are several dramas in Xiaguo that can achieve this result every year.

But on Qingkong TV, the ratings reached 4.6%, and it topped the ratings for the quarter.

That's as difficult as a disabled person participating in a normal sports meet and winning.

Before this was accomplished, both the media and industry practitioners kept making sarcastic remarks such as the April meeting would top the quarterly ratings and the three major TV stations were suppressed by a young screenwriter.

But deep down in everyone's heart, they are more optimistic that Xia Fenghua can ultimately hold the fortress.

When the ninth episode was aired, there was a 0.1% difference in the ratings between the two dramas. How come they suddenly surpassed each other in the tenth episode?
But although it was sudden, the media were not slow.

[Your Lie in April topped the ratings! No. 1 in the quarter, no rival! ]

[Xia Fenghua lost to April and suffered a ratings reversal in the tenth week of the summer season. ]

[The best record of Qingkong TV since its establishment is released! 21-year-old Xia Yan suddenly appeared and created a legend in the Xiaguo TV drama industry! ]

[For the first time in more than a decade, the three major TV stations lost the quarterly ratings championship. Does this mean that the film and television industry in Xiaguo will undergo a drastic change? ]

[A newcomer who debuted for only one year could actually force the three major TV stations to this extent. This once again proves that in front of a true genius, the so-called past glory and background are not worth mentioning.]

[Does the April ratings surpassing Xia Fenghua mean that the competition for the summer ratings champion has come to an end? Or will Xia Fenghua still be able to overtake in the eleventh week after the two dramas have finished airing? ]

[The highest single-episode ratings this quarter was won by the tenth episode of Your Lie in April, but the gap between April and Xia Fenghua is minimal. In the eleventh week of the two dramas, can Xia Fenghua surpass it again and break through the 4.69% ratings to top the list again? ]

[After April topped the ratings, the online war of words between Xia Fenghua fans and April fans intensified, with fans of the main actors on both sides attacking each other like fire and water.]

[A genius like Su Yan should have been a sharp weapon for Sakura TV, but now, Su Yan and Sakura TV are at loggerheads! As the director of the production department of Sakura TV, Akasaka Yoshitoki must bear the main responsibility for the poor performance of Sakura TV this quarter! ]

According to news media reports, the online and real-world rivalries between April fans and Xia Fenghua fans pushed the popularity of the two dramas to their highest level since their debut in the eleventh week of the summer season.

On Wednesday, filming of the second finale of Your Lie in April was completed.

Su Yan, Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan and all the supporting actors who appeared in this episode felt a sense of melancholy.

"The filming of this drama has ended." Su Yan said softly to everyone.

But there was some silence at the scene.

"Tonight is the wrap party for April's crew. Everyone will take the crew's car and go to the hotel together later." Su Yan continued.

"Then, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

After Su Yan finished his last sentence, everyone in the crew's eyes lit up.

Continued cooperation?

Also, is there any chance for further cooperation?
The performance of this drama in April has reached such a level that it can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations.

Especially Shen Liqian. She contacted Su Yan at the beginning just hoping that the ratings of this drama could be among the top five of the quarter. As her comeback work after more than a year of silence, as long as she could achieve such results, she would have the capital to develop slowly and return to her former peak period.

But now Your Lie in April has topped the ratings
She remembered what Su Yan had said to her a few weeks ago.

Perhaps, this drama will not only bring her popularity back to its peak, but will even make her popularity surpass its previous peak, and allow her to win the Best Actress award at this year's Xia Yan Awards.

"Everyone knows that the ending of April will be aired in a few days. Then on the Sunday of next week, the second ending of April that we have just finished filming will be online on Raccoon.com." Su Yan said to everyone in the crew.

"What I want to tell you is that the achievements and peaks achieved in April are by no means limited to the influence of this drama now, nor will they stop at this quarter. Instead, they will become a label on everyone's acting experience for a long time to come. This drama will become a work that you will be lucky enough to participate in in the future. Finally, thank you all for your dedication and support to this drama over the past few months. Tonight, we will not leave until we are drunk."

Su Yan's words easily aroused the enthusiasm of everyone present.

Everyone on the April set roared with excitement.

There are many employees from other crews of Sakura TV in the film and television base.

They vaguely heard the crazy cheers coming from the direction of the April crew's set, and they actually felt a little sad.

Originally, such an achievement should belong to Sakura TV. If the show starts broadcasting on Sakura TV in April, then after Sakura TV achieves its performance and revenue targets for the quarter, the station will normally give out very generous quarterly bonuses.

Now, the highly anticipated "The Simplest Love" has basically confirmed that its ratings will only be third in the quarter.

Can this be considered a good result? Of course, there is no quarterly bonus or anything like that.

All of this is thanks to Yoshitoki Akasaka, the director of the production department.

He likes special treatment and suppresses a genius like Su Yan for the sake of his stupid nephew?

Now, screw it!
In the last few days, Qingkong TV and Shanghai TV each gave their greatest support to the public opinion propaganda of April and Xia Fenghua.

For Shanghai TV, as long as Xia Fenghua finishes the eleventh episode, its ratings results will meet two conditions.

The ratings exceeded the eleventh episode in April.

The eleventh episode had the highest single-episode ratings of the entire season!
The drama "Nana Xia Feng Hua" is still the undisputed king of this season, successfully defending the dignity of the three major TV stations and continuing the record of the three major TV stations' dominance of the season championship for more than ten years.

As for Qingkong TV, they must consider whether this cooperation with Su Yan is the only opportunity in the TV station's life.

No one knows whether Su Yan will continue to cooperate with Qingkong TV in the future. Even if the cooperation continues, will there be an opportunity like April, which is only one step away from winning the quarterly championship?

It can be said that if we cannot make the April championship a reality in this summer season,
For Qingkong TV, this will most likely be the biggest regret since its establishment.

So what if our Qingkong is not as good as your three major TV stations?

I don't need to surpass you every quarter. I just want to surpass you this quarter. Then Qingkong TV can brag about this achievement in the industry for the rest of its life!

The three major TV stations are united in their common interests and hatred of the same enemy. Other small and medium-sized TV stations other than the three major TV stations must also support Qingkong TV in their hearts.

And TV stations control the information dissemination media in the industry.

In the case of their own bias
This directly led to the ratings competition between April and Xia Fenghua this week, which also attracted a lot of attention among the TV drama community in Xia Country.

On Friday night, the eleventh episode of Xia Fenghua was aired.

During the same time period, the other two of the three major TV stations coincidentally broadcast some extremely rubbish programs during this time period and did not compete for ratings.

That evening, Xia Feng Hua concluded successfully, and fans of the show made the news of Xia Feng Hua's ending the number one trending search on the four major online streaming platforms.

The next day, Xia Fenghua's ratings were released.

4.74%
After the results came out, Shanghai TV and Xia Fenghua's crew members felt relieved.

First of all, Xia Fenghua’s last episode has surpassed the 4.69% ratings of the tenth episode in April.

If this result cannot be achieved, then everything will be in vain. The record for the highest ratings of the quarter will still be held by April.

But now, the situation has reversed.

The eleventh episode in April must have a higher viewership than last week and must exceed 4.74% for its season championship to be recognized.

A 0.05% increase in ratings over last week may not seem like an outlandish request, but can the audience size of Blue Sky TV, and its upper limit, really support April to continue to improve on its performance in the eleventh episode?
A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step.

The difficulty of improving from 80 points to 95 points is much less than that of improving from 95 points to 98 points.

Maybe 4.69% is Qingkong TV, which is the upper limit of Su Yan’s fan stickiness.

At the same time, starting from Saturday, the media controlled by the three major TV stations, which have a good cooperative relationship, frantically praised Xia Fenghua and belittled April, Su Yan, Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan and other actors who participated in April, trying to create an atmosphere that Xia Fenghua had already secured victory in advance.

But Su Yan's fans and Qingkong TV did not sit idly by, but promoted the drama "Your Lie in April" through various channels. Qingkong TV also took the initiative to invest several million and let Raccoon.com promote "Your Lie in April" on Saturday.

On that day, anyone who clicked on the Raccoon website would be greeted by a quick link to watch the April drama.

Obviously, the growth rate of paid viewing of this drama on Saturday in April was incredibly fast.

The paid views of the first episode exceeded 1400 million, and the average paid views of all episodes exceeded 1100 million.

Su Yan, his fans, and all the staff of Qingkong TV were very nervous on Sunday.

Time passes little by little.

Soon it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
The finale of the drama Your Lie in April will be aired soon with the eleventh episode.
