My Wife is Obviously a Queen but She is too Virtuous

Chapter 174: The First Issue's Ratings

"By the way, how are your talks with Skysea going?"

In Lin Yao's bedroom, she had shifted the "battlefield" of her video chat with Fang Xiaole to her own bed.

Of course, she was still neatly dressed, with no hint of anything out of the ordinary.

Both of them knew that there was a long way to go and wouldn't be in a hurry to do something out of bounds at this point.

"It didn't go too well yet, yesterday we went to the office and Smoke almost got into a fight with Feng."

In the meantime, Lin Yao's renewal of her contract with Tian Hai Company had been bothering her lately.

"Sister Mo has always been very resourceful, what did she say?"

Fang Xiaole sighed, he really couldn't help with this kind of thing.

"Sister Smoke said that we won't talk about it for now, wait for a while, when the company is anxious it will naturally come to me, she said that there are many companies that want to sign me anyway."

Lin Yao said.

"Listen to Sister Smoke, you work at ease, don't affect your mood, I have good news to tell you."

Fang Xiaole smiled, "I'll give you a few new songs when we meet next time."

"Did you write a new song again?" Lin Yao's eyes lit up when it came to music.

"I didn't write it, it was taught to me by someone from the other world when I was dreaming."

Fang Xiaole coughed out an explanation.

"You man, you're talking nonsense again."

Lin Yao smiled and gibbered, her eyes widening expectantly.

"What song did you write? So eager to hear it."

Fang Xiaole teased her, "If you come to Nanshuangbanna tomorrow, I'll sing all these songs to you."

"Great, then I'll come to you tomorrow." Lin Yao also smiled and laughed.

"You've learned to cheat people too." Fang Xiaole reached out his hand and tapped her forehead on the screen.

"Hehe, forget it if you don't believe me." Lin Yao laughed mysteriously.

Fang Xiaole didn't notice Lin Yao's expression and looked down at the time, it was already 1:30 in the morning.

Both of them still had work tomorrow, and after lovingly bidding each other goodnight, they finally turned off the video and went to rest separately.

........

"Brother Fang, Brother Fang! Blow it up, we blow it up!"

The next morning, Fang Xiaole was awakened by a shouting sound in a daze.

He opened his eyes with some difficulty, lowered his head and rubbed his face to wake up a little, but when he looked up, he saw a face with bloodshot eyes and a "hideous" face.

"Fuck!"

Fang Xiaole was frightened, which was now completely awake, and pushed Zhang Zhiqin away.

"Did you go coal mining at night? Didn't I tell you guys to take a half day break, what's the point of screaming so early?"

Zhang Zhiqin's hair was messy like a chicken coop, topped with two dark circles, her face was full of oil, and she looked like she hadn't rested well last night.

"I'm too nervous to sleep!"

Zhang Zhiqin's face was bitter and aggrieved.

The guests are not coming until the afternoon today, and the preparations for the recording are almost done.

The next step was to record the entire contents of the first season, and the work intensity was very high.

In order for everyone to have better energy to devote to the rest of the work, Luo Hui and Fang Xiaole had a discussion last night and announced that the show would take a small half-day break this morning.

But Zhang Zhiqin spent the entire night thinking about the ratings and audience response after the show's premiere, tossing and turning, and didn't sleep well at all .

After staying up until about 8:00 a.m., he couldn't lie down anymore and climbed up to get his phone to read the online comments.

He found that the number of comments under the official Weibo of "Life of Longing" had increased some more, and most of them were praising the show for being good.

This increase in heat was a bit unexpected, and Zhang Zhiqin brushed around on Weibo to discover the reason.

It turned out that after Lin Yao had helped promote the show on Weibo, Tang Wan and Xu Fei had also retweeted the promo video for "A Life of Longing".

This made "The Life of Longing" rush onto the hot search list again.

"Brother Fang, look!"

Zhang Zhiqin excitedly showed her phone to Fang Xiaole.

"Which leader did Xu Fei and Tang Wan hire, they're helping to promote the show even before it's on, what a face."

The first thing I noticed was that Tang Wan and Xu Fei had both sent out micro-blogs this morning to promote "The Life of Longing", which raised the heat of the show a little more, but it was still far from "exploding".

"The fiftieth place in the hot search, can only be considered that we rubbed people's heat, not really fire."

The comment section was more still fans licking the two actresses in a fancy way, and not many were actually discussing the show.

That's how the show isn't really hot yet, and it's about rubbing off on other people's heat to attract attention.

"It's been good! Brother Fang, I was expecting the first few issues of our show to be of little interest, but now it's a surprise!"

Zhang Zhiqin was not happy.

"Look at you, you're so useless." Fang Xiaole glanced at him and asked, "Where's Luo Dao?"

"Director Luo has also gotten up early in the morning, and has made three calls to the station."

Zhang Zhiqin looked outside and said in a low voice.

"He's more nervous than I am!"

Fang Xiaole was dumbfounded, thinking that Brother Luo had cultivated to the realm of middle-aged baldness, why was he still so unstable.

He walked out of the house, but found that Zhang Zhiqin and Luo Hui weren't the only ones who were unsettled, the program team was basically up, and everyone was standing in the courtyard, eyeing Luo Hui who was making a phone call not far away.

They were all waiting for the ratings figures.

This scene somehow made Fang Xiaole nervous as well.

In the midst of everyone's eager anticipation, Luo Hui finally finished his phone call and came towards the courtyard, and the look on his face couldn't tell if he was happy or sad.

"Director Luo, how are our ratings?"

Someone couldn't help but welcome the question.

Luo Hui looked at the crowd and slowly said, "Our ratings last night... ranked seventh."

The courtyard full of people standing suddenly became silent, and everyone's faces were a bit ugly.

There were thirty-one shows on national television at ten o'clock on Thursdays, and coming in seventh sounded okay, but Life of Longing was, after all, an Apple Channel show.

And many TV stations had very low investment in the Thursday ten o'clock slot, and some even just got something out to fill the next time slot.

According to the expectations of the station's leadership, "Life of Longing" should at least be in the top three ratings.

Now this result is a bit of a crotch pull.

"Brother Luo, what are the specific ratings?"

But Fang Xiaole noticed that Luo Hui's expression didn't seem to be too depressed.

"Our ratings are 0.61, and the top three are Flower Show 0.9, Open Laughter 0.89, Ace Battle 0.7..."

Luo Hui briefly said about the ratings ranking.

"It's true that the Flower Show is ranked first, but it's still a bit far from breaking one."

Someone exclaimed.

"A cold time slot like Thursday's ten o'clock has never produced a show that breaks one, and it's already impressive that the Flower Show can reach 0.9, alas."

Someone sighed, thinking of their own ratings of only 0.6 percent, and felt a sense of gloom about the future.

"It's not bad to have a good laugh, it's not much worse than the Flower Show, it's a dark horse!"

"Yeah, I thought we'd be a dark horse, alas!"

The more everyone spoke the lower the mood became.

Fang Xiaole suddenly asked to Luo Hui, "Director Luo, did you also ask about the internet airplay?"
