I'm really good at this.

Amidst the magnificent fireworks and solemn bells, a melodious yet slightly melancholic piano tune began to play.

Then, the scene transitions to the end credits.

However, this song is different from previous ending theme songs; it seems to be... a new song.

"We traveled along the way, stopping and starting, following the trail of the boy's drifting journey."

Just before stepping out of the station, I hesitated for a moment...

Accompanied by the singer's voice, the song also brought the audience into the visual clips of the ending theme.

That was Fang Bie's journey.

I disembarked in America, got off the bus in Japan, and got off the train in China...

He would pause for a moment whenever he arrived in a new place.

From the initial high aspirations upon arriving in America, to the somber and restrained demeanor in Japan, and finally to the expressionless face in China.

As I approach my hometown, I feel apprehensive; everything seems the same as before.

He seemed to have transformed back into the impetuous and spirited young man he once was with the female lead, Liu Meng.

Then came the time when he received his mission and began his multi-layered undercover career.

Until their reunion, and after enduring hardship to obtain the intelligence, until finally finding his name again amidst the dazzling fireworks.

"I finally returned my youth to her, along with the vibrant summer that my fingertips played."

What the heart desires, it goes with the wind...

As the end credits rolled, the song's name and its creator finally appeared in the credits.

"got windy"

Composer: Zhang Hong

Lyrics by Zhang Hong

Singer: Liu Meng

Upon seeing this, Gu Yan, who had been holding her breath and had tears welling up in her eyes, brightened up and turned around, saying, "Yueyue, this song was written by your brother 'Fang Bie'!"

Su Xiaoyue didn't say anything.

She simply clung tightly to the pillow in her arms, resting her chin on it, her pearly teeth biting her lower lip.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and her body was trembling.

She was desperately trying not to cry out.

Gu Yan paused for a moment, then gave a hearty laugh.

She leaned closer and rested her face on the cushion, grinning, "But Yueyue, you guessed right! Your 'Fang Bie' brother really is a good person! It's just a pity, I can't understand why he didn't leave in the end."

By taking the documents and returning to the organization, he could clear his name and see the light of day again.

She couldn't understand why he was so stubborn.

"No, he just wants to take back what he lost," Su Xiaoyue retorted, sobbing. "He must have had the blood of his compatriots on his hands from his undercover missions. He wants to be a person again, upright and honorable."

"Forehead......"

I think you've gone mad.

Gu Yan didn't say that aloud. She glanced at the TV and quickly changed the subject: "The next episode is about to start!"

Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoyue shook her head, got up, and swayed as she walked towards the bedroom: "I'm not watching anymore."

Gu Yan was left in the living room with a head full of question marks.

"So... you're just a fangirl/fanboy, huh?"

............

"I thought it was bullshit when we were filming it!"

"If Mingming took the documents and returned to the organization, he could clear his name and see the light of day again!"

"And the most ridiculous thing is that the country won the war just three months later!"

"Director Liu's drama isn't very good!"

Inside the reception room of the two-story building, Zhang Hong, who had just finished watching the episode, was ranting and raving.

Lin Muqing, who was indoors and wearing expensive sunglasses, turned her face towards him and said, "If you could wipe away the tears in your eyes when you say these things, you might be more convincing."

"And what about you?" Zhang Hong suddenly became interested. "Wearing sunglasses indoors? If it's not to show off, then it's to hide the fact that you were moved to tears by my realistic acting."

"Stop swearing." Lin Muqing turned her head, suddenly stood up, and said, "I'm going back."

"Goodbye and best wishes~"

After Lin Muqing left, Zhang Hong turned off the TV and then leisurely slipped away.

His scenes are over; there's no need to watch the rest.

............

However, some people are still awake.

Even at 5 a.m., when it was already getting light, the lights in Liu Yishou's studio were still on.

He stared with bloodshot and tired eyes, took a big gulp of strong tea, and then looked up at the clock on the wall.

He waited anxiously for the ratings report.

Given his seasoned and experienced nature, he would never have waited this late, especially since the current ratings already surpass all other TV dramas this year.

But he needs tonight's ratings.

He even needs the ratings to drop in the last two episodes.

"Old Liu, the ratings are out."

The person who pushed open the door was the assistant director of the film crew.

Liu Yishou steadied himself and opened his eyes: "Come, let me see."

When the folder landed in his hands, he suddenly calmed down—he was an old-school director and still preferred paper documents.

The data in the document is clearly written.

[Average time-sharing viewership rating: 4.73%; Peak time-sharing viewership rating: 6.1%; Lowest time-sharing viewership rating: 3.11%; Average market share: 16.46%]

He looked down further and saw that these were the ratings for other TV dramas airing during prime time, obtained through inside connections.

第二到第四的收视率是2.4到2之间，市场份额分别是8.8、7.92、7.16，最高的也只是《血色芳华》的一半左右。

As for the rest, there's no need to mention them anymore.

Liu Yishou began to carefully examine his viewership ratings charts.

The so-called viewership rating is a statistic that counts how many televisions across the country can connect to various television stations. Once a television connects to a signal, it automatically sends the signal to the national broadcasting station, which then compiles the data and distributes it.

Market share refers to the percentage of people watching a particular TV series during a given time period.

That's what the TV stations are fighting for too.

The larger my market share, the more confident I am in giving merchants quotes.

However, in today's world, which is heavily impacted by the internet, Liu Yishou is already quite satisfied with the fact that the viewership ratings completely overwhelmed the second-place contender by almost double.

Moreover, this viewership rating surpassed the viewership rating before Zhang Hong's appearance in "Bloody Youth".

Based on the trend, the first episode tonight had a low initial rating of around 3.7, which is already at the level of the previous average rating.

It then began to rise slowly, reaching a peak of 6.1 at the end of the second episode, and then began to decline slowly from around the 15-minute mark of the third episode.

Liu Yishou remembered that place; it was where the heroine Liu Meng's memories of her past with Fang Bie ended.

By the time the fourth episode ended tonight, the ratings had dropped to around 3.1.

This was also the average viewership rating of "Blood-Stained Youth" before Zhang Hong's appearance.

"call--"

With a long sigh of relief, Liu Yishou felt invigorated.

Become!

He immediately looked up at the assistant director and asked, "When was the interview we were talking about?"

"Eight o'clock in the morning, just over two hours from now, should we postpone it?" The assistant director glanced at his watch.

"No need," Liu Yishou said, beaming. "Let's go eat some tofu pudding, then come back, wash our faces, and we'll do the interview!"

The assistant director frowned: "Old Liu, are you really going to do that? I remember Xiao Zhang is the young man that Ji Xing wanted to praise to death, right? You've already gone too far by revising the script for him, and now you want to stand on his side and promote his show? You should know that our show was invested in by Ji Xing."

"Of course, we directors need investment to make a living and to film what we want. To be honest, compared to capital, I kind of miss the coal bosses. Although they liked to seduce actresses and such, they didn't understand and didn't care much," Liu Yishou said as he walked. "But I still support Xiao Zhang. Although he's not a big deal yet, they are the future, and they will eventually be the future."

He grinned, his white teeth gleaming in the rising sun: "The new generation rises, and the old generation doesn't necessarily die on the beach. If the river flows into the sea, then there is no beach."

"The younger generation can also push the older generation even higher."
