Chapter 104: A Fair Competition
Translator: Zayn_
“Us” and “Time” had several trending searches, and their popularity was second only to the few movies that were popular during the National Day holiday.
“The Immortal Demon” became the object of ridicule.
The hashtag ttViewership rating of 0.08# on the trending list had already become the biggest joke in the industry.
On the same day.
China’s most famous rating platform, Green Screen, had started the rating mechanism for the National Day TV series a few days ago.
Green Screen’s ratings were very authoritative both inside and outside the film and television industry because it had a large number of ratings and would not be biased.
Moreover, the audience was strict in their grading. Under normal circumstances, the low scores would be extremely low, and the high scores would not be too high.
Most directors in the industry would go to Green Screen to check the ratings of their works.
This year’s National Day TV series that attracted the most attention was, of course, ‘Us.’
Many netizens clicked on the green screen to give their ratings.
It showed 7.9 points, with more than six million people rating it.
This score could only be said to be quite satisfactory, above average.
Most of the positive comments came from the fans of the various film emperors and actresses, and some of them were inevitably mixed with nitpicking comments.
However, the overall score was not too disappointing.
After all, some of the raters on the Green Screen would deliberately give low marks to highlight their uniqueness and style.
Next was Elegy of the Rose.
3.5 points. It was expected to be a bad movie, with only over 10,000 people rating it.
Qiu Yu and Director Wang, who had just finished their interview, clicked on Time’s ratings.
They were secretly hoping that Time’s ratings would surpass ‘Us’. At that time, they would be able to create a wave of ‘word-of-mouth’ marketing.
However, when the two of them opened it and took a look…
3.0 points, with more than a million ratings.
Movies that scored below 4 points were bad, and 2 points were bad enough to be considered record-breaking.
“How can it only be three points? Either there’s a bug in the Green Screen or there’s a shady deal!”
Director Wang covered his chest on the spot and was a little breathless.
Qiu Yu didn’t reply. She looked at the comments below with a gloomy expression.
[1 had high expectations when I watched it, thinking that the quality of ‘Time’ and ‘Us’ would be on par. But I’m so disappointed. Are you guys filming a tribute film or an idol drama? ]
[You are obviously a worker character, but Qiu Yu’s makeup is so heavy that it’s hard to see her real face. People who didn’t know better would have thought you were a white-collar worker! ]
[Did you think this is a tribute film? Wrong! This is an idol drama, and the plot is so melodramatic!]
[All the investments were given to those celebrities, right? And then they took ten yuan to film a drama with their feet, right?]
[This is simply an insult to tribute dramas!]
Qiu Yu scrolled through it for a while, but she did not see any positive comments!
Her heart turned cold.
Director Wang calmed down and waved his hand. “So what if the score is low? Our viewership ratings and views are high, so we can still earn a lot back!”
“Director Wang is right!” Qiu Yu sighed with relief.
“We’re not like Song Qingyou and the others. Ten million yuan won’t even make a splash!”
Director Wang nodded repeatedly and then sneered. “I’d like to see what the ratings are for a drama filmed by a yellow-haired kid! If they don’t even have enough people who reviewed and rated it, that would be too funny!”
The two of them opened The Immortal Demon’s review section.
The line of words at the top was:
“9.9 points, more than 100,000 ratings.”
It was so eye-catching that they wanted to poke their own eyes out!
“How is that possible?!” Qiu Yu exclaimed.
They had invested so much, but they didn’t get a score of 9.9, so how could The Immortal Demon deserve it?
Even if this score would definitely drop later on, what did it mean that the opening score was 9.9?
It meant that The Immortal Demon had the same potential as those high-quality movies and TV shows!
“This is impossible!”
Director Wang’s reaction was half a beat slower.
He quickly clicked on the comments and couldn’t wait to prove that this was the result of the internet water army’s operation!
[ The special effects of this drama are even better than some international blockbusters. I’ll give you a five-star review. I just want to ask how the 10 million investment came up with such special effects? ]
[ I was recommended by a friend who works in special effects and was attracted by the plot. 1 really want to say, screenwriter Qing Meng, you have no heart! She actually attacked the audience without warning! ]
[Sister Qingyou is so beautiful! To tell the truth, I want to be Sister Qingyou’s dog!]
[ First-class special effects, first-class acting skills, first-class script, first-class shots, first-class music… The five-star rating was really worth it! Strongly recommended! ]
The praise was enough to dazzle everyone.
Halfway through, Director Wang blacked out and fainted.
On the other side, Shen Xiyan was also looking at the score on the green screen.
When she saw that The Immortal Demon had a score of 9.9, her facial features were almost twisted into a ball!
“I don’t believe it! How could it be 9.9? Song Qingyou must have paid a troll army to boost the ratings! That must be the case! With such a high number, isn’t she afraid of being scolded to death?”
She gritted her teeth and took out her phone to post on Weibo.
The manager quickly stepped forward to stop her. “Green Screen has always been authoritative in their ratings. Once there is a phenomenon of points being added, they will block those suspicious accounts.”
“If you post on Weibo now, other than giving Song Qingyou popularity, nothing good will come about it!”
Shen Xiyan’s eyes were red. “Then 1 can’t do anything? I’m almost being trampled under her feet!”
“She’s just a newcomer. How can she step on your head? Don’t be impulsive and do anything stupid…”
The manager really didn’t know what grudge the two had.
But every time Shen Xiyan mentioned Song Qingyou, she was very irrational.
She gave Tao Mi a look.
Tao Mi quietly took Shen Xiyan’s phone away.
Unfortunately, even if Shen Xiyan’s agent was smart and didn’t plan to give Song Qingyou any popularity, it was a terrible fate to have stupid teammates.
Director Wang fainted, and Qiu Yu hurriedly called an ambulance.
The two of them had just come down from a press conference. There was so much noise calling for an ambulance that all the reporters who were about to leave came back.
Qiu Yu deliberately bumped into them.
“May I ask what happened just now? Was it Director Wang who was taken to the hospital by the ambulance?”
Qiu Yu nodded. “Director Wang suddenly fainted…”
“Why did Director Wang suddenly faint?”
Qiu Yu wanted to say something but hesitated. “Actually, it’s all my fault. 1 saw that the Green Screen had released the ratings, so I wanted to let Director Wang see the score too…”
“Director Wang fainted because he couldn’t accept Green Screen’s ratings?” the reporter asked.
“It’s not like that.” Qiu Yu explained, “1 think Director Wang would be happy to accept the criticism from the audience. It’s just that Director Wang wouldn’t be so surprised when he saw some bad reviews. The main thing is… is…”
“What is it?”
“It’s because Director Xu Mingrui’s ‘The Immortal Demon’ has made Director Wang very angry. He wants all films and television works to compete fairly, not play some tricks…”
Fair competition?
Didn’t that mean that there was something fishy about The Immortal Demon’s score?
Qiu Yu’s words prompted more and more people to look at The Immortal Demon’s score.
