After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God-Chapter 759 - : Record Breaking Ratings, Too Late to Regret (1)

Chapter 759: Record Breaking Ratings, Too Late to Regret (1)

The last time Lin Jihuan posted pictures from Si Fuqing’s birthday party, her followers increased significantly.

The fans all knew she was a wealthy woman with a prosperous family business.

Getting the viewership ratings from Starlight TV was an easy task for her.

But these two ratings charts shocked not only the gossip-loving netizens but also the fans who had full confidence in Si Fuqing.

[??? The highest rating broke double digits? Don’t scare me, dad.]

[Even without the highest rating, the average rating of the second episode is god-tier! It broke 9! Who else can compete?]

[As a passerby, my parents were watching yesterday. My mom got so into it that she chased my dad around for a while, and they’re both almost seventy.]

[Ahhhh, congratulations to Si Fuqing for becoming a top star with just one drama! Congratulations! The future looks promising!]

Last year, several so-called phenomenal dramas on satellite TV didn’t even break 2 in ratings.

Although some web dramas boasted over a billion views, the authenticity of these numbers was questionable.

Rumor had it that after filtering out fake views, the actual number of plays was just in the tens of millions, even with fans constantly rewatching.

This was nowhere near the success of “Crossing the Demon Realm.”

After eight years, the television industry saw such high ratings again.

No one had expected this, including Si Fuqing’s rivals.

But this time, Si Fuqing’s performance showed everyone that even established stars weren’t qualified to be her rivals.

After these two ratings charts were released and confirmed by Starlight TV’s official account, even the rival fans fell silent, unable to find a flaw to attack.

“Great Zhao Dynasty” still had its ratings posted on the official Weibo, with Tong Luoyun’s fans celebrating in the comments. But the comparison was now too stark, and deleting the comments wouldn’t be quick enough.

Tong Luoyun’s team also fell silent.

Netizens who hadn’t watched the drama saw the record-breaking ratings and were intrigued enough to watch the replay on Starlight TV’s app. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Another large group of viewers was hooked.

However, even the best dramas receive criticism, and there are always trolls and keyboard warriors.

[It wasn’t that great, really fake, I don’t see what’s so good about it. You guys must not have seen good dramas.]

[The hype is overblown, and the special effects are ugly.]

Such comments were not uncommon but were quickly drowned out by the legion of fans following the drama.

While Starlight TV celebrated, Great Xia TV was holding an emergency meeting.

Purchasing dramas wasn’t something that usually required the network head involvement.

But a 12.9% rating was nearing the highest viewership record Great Xia TV had seen in years.

He knew that with fewer people watching TV nowadays, the same ratings now couldn’t be compared to the past.

Originally, “Crossing the Demon Realm” was supposed to air on Great Xia TV!

“A 12.9% rating!” The network head of Great Xia TV took a deep breath. “Don’t tell me you didn’t assess the potential of both dramas before buying them?!”

The head of programming and several other executives were in misery.

It was precisely because they had comprehensively assessed the potential of both “Crossing the Demon Realm” and “Great Zhao Dynasty” that they chose to purchase the latter.

When “Crossing the Demon Realm” aired on IFTV, the head of programming could still comfort himself that historical dramas from Great Xia Empire weren’t well-received internationally and that “Great Zhao Dynasty” was primarily aimed at domestic viewers.

But now that the ratings for both dramas were out, the head of programming could no longer comfort himself.

Who could have predicted that newcomer Si Fuqing, leading her female-lead drama, would crush Tong Luoyun, who had over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry?

Tong Luoyun was a Triple Golden Film Awards Winner!

Even if she moved to TV dramas, she was not someone ordinary TV drama actors could compare to. How did she lose?

“Look at the reviews for both dramas.” The network head of Great Xia TV slammed the table. “And don’t tell me you didn’t predict the audience’s reaction either!”

The head of programming braced himself and read the comments.

[Actually, Tong Luoyun’s performance this time is commendable, and it’s at her usual standard. The opening fight scene was also very good, but to be honest, since it happened to air at the same time as ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’, after watching ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’…]

[It’s worse than her movies, with too many filters, and the episode count is too long. Over eighty episodes, I can’t finish it.]

[LOL, movies and TV dramas are inherently different. Queen Tong’s acting was rusty because she hadn’t filmed TV dramas in a long time. Try comparing her movies instead?]

[I LOLed too. At first, it was about who aired on better channels. Then they brought out IFTV. Then it was about ratings, and they came up with double-digit ratings. Still want to compare? Soon, you won’t even have your pants left.]
