As the saying goes, outsiders watch the show, while insiders watch the door.
The audience was watching to see if the plot of " Startling Step " was exciting, while Tangren Entertainment was concerned about the viewership ratings of " Startling Step ".
The producers of television dramas could see the viewership ratings of the television station backstage, making it easier for them to analyze the data.
According to the data provided by the TV series, on the first day of broadcast, the viewership ratings of " Startling Step " and " The Legend of the Ancient Sword " were similar. In fact," The Legend of the Ancient Sword " was slightly higher than " Startling Step ".
But on the second day, the situation was reversed. Startling Step had already surpassed The Legend of the Ancient Sword. On the third day, the gap was even wider.
On the fourth day," The Legend of the Ancient Sword " didn't even have half of the viewership ratings of " Startling Step "…
Seven days a week, the viewership ratings for Startling Step had already shot up to the top ten in the past three years, and it was still increasing by leaps and bounds!
No one knew how high the viewership ratings of "Startling Step" would be when the grand finale arrived!
It wasn't just the television station, even the people in Tang Ren Entertainment were shocked!
This was especially true for the CEO, Cai Yinong. She had only wanted to do Yu Wei and Liu Shishi a favor and allocate a small investment for them to mess around. However, he never expected that Startling Step would actually become an unpopular hit!
When she saw the week's viewership report for " Startling Step by Step ", she knew that this drama would definitely not lose money. In fact, it would make a lot of money!
As expected, when the other television stations saw the results of Startling Step, they all came to Tang Entertainment to purchase the broadcasting rights.
As a shrewd businessman, Cai Yinong naturally took the opportunity to raise the price and made a huge profit.
Tang Ren Entertainment had already recouped the cost of 'Startling Step by Step' just by selling the copyright fees to the two television stations. All the profits from this series would be pure net profit!
Cai Yinong estimated that even with the most conservative estimation, Startling Step would be Tang Entertainment's most profitable television series this year, and perhaps even the entire television industry!
With this drama alone, Liu Shishi had already completed more than half of her bet with Tangren Entertainment!
Cai Yinong felt a little regretful.
Why didn't she sign a bigger bet back then…
The popularity of " Startling Step by Step " was not only reflected in the viewership ratings and revenue. In just a week after it was broadcast, it had been on Weibo's trending searches four to five times, almost once a day on average!
On other social media sites, discussions about the plot of Startling Step could be seen everywhere.
It could be said that " Startling Step by Step " had already exploded on the Internet, almost becoming a phenomenal television drama!
Other than the plot, the most discussed topic was naturally the two main leads, Liu Shishi and Cao Yu.
Especially Cao Yu. Even Liu Shishi's discussion was more heated than his.
After all, Cao Yu was the screenwriter and the male lead of this drama, and he even wrote the theme song himself.
Previously, he had been slandered and spread rumors by the troll army. When " Startling Step " was broadcast, his reputation immediately reversed.
His acting skills had already proven his talent!
After the audience saw his performance, no one believed all the doubts about him.
Cao Yu wrote the script and composed the lyrics for the theme song. The troll army could say that he was a ghostwriter and that the original author was someone else. Cao Yu sang well, and the troll army could smear him for relying on voice editing.
However, acting skills were clearly in front of him. Whether he acted well or not, these could not be faked.
He couldn't say that someone had plastic surgery to look like him and help him act, right?
"Isn't Cao Yu's role as the Fourth Prince too handsome?”
" Although he's acting as a cold and stoic character, through his micro-expressions and small actions, you can see the complicated inner drama of this character. If it were any other young hunk, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to act it…"
"Sigh, I want to apologize to Cao Yu. I listened to the rumors and followed the wind to slander him…"
"Me too! I also followed the trend and slandered Cao Yu. I really feel sorry for Cao Yu…"
"I was also taken to the ditch. It's all those hateful Internet trolls 'fault for making me the villain!”
On Weibo, a large number of people who did not know the truth and followed the wind to slander Cao Yu came out to apologize to Cao Yu.
There was even an entry on the trending searches that said," Apologize to Cao Yu."
………………
"You're really popular this time…Even my popularity can't compare to yours…"
Liu Shishi pretended to be jealous and teased Cao Yu.
"So what if it's a fire? It can't be eaten.”
Cao Yu was still playing his game as he said indifferently.
Liu Shishi rolled her eyes.
She had guessed that Cao Yu would have this attitude!
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be overjoyed to have such popularity. They would think about how to make good use of this popularity to better develop themselves.
Cao Yu, on the other hand, was as calm as an ancient well.
He really didn't know if he should say that his realm was high and he was unfazed, or that he was a salted fish…
