Chapter 499 Heated Discussions Throughout the Web
Xiao Feifei raised her hand to rest her chin on it. She then said, “These are all the entertainment newspapers that were talking about iPartment. Some others are documents sent by major advertisers. ”
Many of the advertisements there had scoffed at iPartment’s high asking price, but each of them now thought of increasing the price to buy it back.
“Goodness me, iPartment has received that much attention now?”
“That’s right,” Xiao Feifei answered. “Look at these newspapers. Some of the contents have already begun analyzing iPartment’s in-depth research reports and analysis reports. It isn’t just the general public that watched our TV series. It even stunned many of the players in our industry.”
Ye Lingchen nodded and began curiously reading the newspapers on the table.
They were all major entertainment newspapers from that morning. It was obviously the company who ordered those newspapers and attention must be paid to it every day. Feifei Xiao subscribed to all types of morning newspapers, and the largest page space of each newspaper was given to iPartment. It was very eye-catching.
[Shocking! Banana TV strikes back!]
[iPartment’s counterattack! Waves of rave reviews!]
[Actor Y once again produced a miracle. Will you still question him?]
[How will iPartment’s ratings fare? Will they have the last laugh?]
[Taking comedy to a whole new level! This is the definition of comedy!]
[iPartment came out with style! Will it usher in a new era of slice-of-life comedy?]
[A sky-high price for their network premiere copyright! Is Actor Y inflating the price?!]
[Can iPartment’s quality be maintained? We’ll wait and see!]
Ye Lingchen touched his nose and could not resist smiling. “They’re exaggerating it too much. They’re so good at fabricating things.”
Xiao Feifei replied, “It’s not like you’re not familiar with how the news media is. They just love sensationalizing. Their priority is to catch your attention first, so the more eye-catching a piece of news is, the better. Generally, they’ll always exaggerate and overemphasize a good piece of news to infinite proportions, but if there are any errors, they’re the first ones to step all over you and slander you!”
Ye Lingchen nodded. That was precisely how the media conducted themselves.
It was foreseeable that iPartment would inevitably be criticized and condemned if their ratings dropped or their quality deteriorated in the future. Such was the media, where all kinds of foul comments would appear!
Ye Lingchen did not regard the media as kind and eye-catching just because he saw the good news.
At the same time, the heated discussion on the internet had not stopped since the previous night.
Even at three or four in the morning, many netizens were still talking about the iPartment contents and discussing the punchlines. Some kinder individuals made highlights of all the hilarious bits, including all the engaging quotes from iPartment.
However, the topic that everyone was most concerned with was the ratings, whether it was the casual observer or major television stations. How much would they get in terms of their rating?
[What in the world are they doing right now. Why hasn’t it come out yet?]
[Are those statistics people slacking off? Their efficiency is just too low!]
[iPartment’s ratings won’t be too bad. In any case, I think it’s a good watch!]
[F*ck man, I’ve been refreshing the ratings but it just won’t come out!]
[When will it come out! Can’t they be reliable? I spent my time just waiting for this!]
[Speed, speed, speed!]
[What time did they go to work? In this kind of situation, shouldn’t they calculate it overnight without sleeping?]
[Actually, how much are the ratings? I’m freaking anxious right now!]
[The TV series released at the same time can’t be compared with iPartment. Their ratings will definitely be blown out of the water. I’m so looking forward to it.]
[Upstairs, you’re too optimistic. I’d like to first disclose that I’m not trying to say anything bad about iPartment. I’m a factual truth-seeker and I want everyone to be mentally prepared. Generally, the first episode of the program won’t be too good, unless it’s a famous piece of intellectual property or something that many people look forward to even before the broadcast. The basis for this is that it must have a certain audience base, but iPartment didn’t even have a good following before its release. Banana TV’s audience base is even more worrying. I think episode 3 or 4 may have a 1% rating, but yesterday’s ratings should not exceed 0.9%!]
[Expert! The analysis upstairs makes sense.]
[I also agree that the quality of iPartment is very good, but not so good that it could go against reality!]
[0.9% is already awesome enough. If its quality doesn’t drop in the future, it will definitely be frightening.]
[That can’t be. I love it so much and it should be at least 1%.]
[That’s baseless! But everything else is possible. It’s good enough that it caused so many heated discussions.]
There were many experts in the discussion and each of them was carefully analyzing everything.
Soon, the viewership voting activity appeared on Weibo again. The viewership ratings of several major television series were once again taken out for a vote. On that occasion, the support rate of iPartment increased significantly unlike the last time, and many people even guessed it would surpass For My Love and Palace.
[Netizens are crazy! Some people even think that the ratings of iPartment could reach one-point-three percent!]
[Diehard fans, I’m here to make a post waging war. Yesterday, the ratings of iPartment weren’t as good as For My Love and Palace. The prerequisite to surpassing us in the future is that you must maintain your quality. Do you really think the ratings are something to be played around with?]
[Why is that impossible? I’ll support iPartment and their ratings will be number 1!]
[Exactly! We can’t lose the momentum! I think it can exceed 2%!]
[Upstairs, good job.]
There were plenty of supporters and everyone was arguing incessantly, but the most voted range was between 0.7% and 1%.
The ratings of For My Love was the same as that of Palace, which was estimated to be between 0.8% and 1.1% .
“Looks like many netizens are very supportive of us!” Ye Lingchen could not help but smile when he looked at the discussion on the Internet. There were times where he thought that netizens were very cute.
For him, the previous night’s ratings were not important at all. One should always see the long-term performance of a TV series and the subsequent word-of-mouth. In fact, the initial ratings did not represent anything.
As for the other major television channels.
“How is it? Are the ratings out yet?”
“Not yet! Soon.”
“Hey, did you read the discussions on the Internet?”
“I did. How ridiculous. They’re all a bunch of laymen joining in the fun.”
“They’re laymen, without a doubt. There are even people who say that iPartment will surpass For My Love but they didn’t even look at how far behind it is in terms of public foundation.”
“Just treat it as though it’s something to humor you.”
“iPartment may be dancing happily now, but this type of TV series collapses easily. If the quality of their later episodes isn’t good, it’ll be impossible to surpass For My Love!”
“If you take out all the exaggerating and the badmouthing, how much do you think it would be?”
“Maybe zero-point-nine percent.”
“Mm, it should be around that number.”
“It remains to be seen if the ratings can exceed zero-point-nine percent. After all, this is just the first episode!”
