Chapter 349: That’s What Prestige Is
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
—— [Hahaha, those fans were so confident. No matter how impressive Muyao TV may be, it’s just a provincial station. Nancheng TV is an official TV station. This is what prestige is~~!]
…
The work chat group of Muyao TV.
After Nancheng TV released that statement, the employees of Muyao TV started a video conference immediately.
The director of the station flew into a rage. “What is going on? Why did Ruan Qing join the program team of ‘Two Under One Roof’? How did ‘Two Under One Roof’ obtain the chance to be aired on Nancheng TV?!”
For a while, no one dared to speak.
After a long silence, someone finally whispered, “I heard that Ruan Qing has been in contact with people from Nancheng TV recently…”
“I heard so too…”
The station manager was infuriated. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?!”
“…”
Of course, they all thought that Ruan Qing was just a woman and wouldn’t have the ability to cause much of an impact.
They thought that an official satellite TV station like Nancheng TV wouldn’t take her seriously at all.
They thought that, at most, Ruan Qing wanted to work for Nancheng TV as a managerial executive; but they could have never imagined that she would reach a cooperation with Nancheng TV!
“Eating Well for All Three Meals” was still less popular online than “Two Under One Roof”.
Even though they had planned and staged all sorts of scenes such as displays of affection between Zhuo Yi and Jiang Yun’er, arguments, squabbles between guests, and so on, the number of viewers can never exceed ten million.
The popularity of the last livestream-based variety show, “Heartbeat”, plummeted drastically and the die-hard fans of the celebrities featured in the show were the only ones who watched it. The investors and sponsors all wished they could withdraw all the money that they had invested in the show, let alone increase their investment amount. Now, they are relying entirely on Muyao TV’s funds to survive.
They had recently been intending to beat “Two Under One Roof” by taking advantage of the fact that “Two Under One Roof” was broadcast solely online, while the premiere of “Eating Well for All Three Meals” would be aired both on TV and online. They were all ready to boost the popularity of “Eating Well for All Three Meals” and s.n.a.t.c.h away the viewers of “Two Under One Roof”.
Yet, they were now told that “Two Under One Roof” was going to be aired on the national TV channel too!
Moreover, it was Nancheng TV, which was a notch higher than Muyao TV!
The station manager lost his temper. “Garbage! You’re a bunch of good-for-nothings who can’t even defeat a woman!”
There was nothing but silence in the video conference as no one dared to mention that the TV station manager himself was the one who had driven Ruan Qing away…
…
…
Muyao TV had a taste of their own medicine, and Zhuo Yi’s fans were slammed by the “s.h.i.+sui Sisters”!
—— [The youngest “Grand Slam” Best Actor award winner, s.h.i.+ Sui, is still the record holder for the highest ratings generated in the history of television. s.h.i.+ Sui is the best actor ever, and he’s so good at generating sales.]
—— [Putting on airs? Do you really think there are no records on the Internet? Who was the one who threw real blows when acting out a fighting scene and hit s.h.i.+ Sui so hard that his ribs were fractured?]
—— [Zhuo Yi rose to fame with a persona of a dreamboat bachelor and what he was back then is equivalent to an idol now. Yet, he secretly got married and deceived his fans. After his marriage was revealed, he used it for clout to gain more attention and popularity. How can he have the cheek to criticize s.h.i.+ Sui!?!]
…
The s.h.i.+sui Sisters were indeed very aggressive. Previously, they were just helping “Two Under One Roof” keep the comments under control and ward off the haters; but now, they are working together to rebuke Zhuo Yi’s fans harshly!
It was extremely lively on the Internet tonight as the netizens from all walks of life stayed up all night to enjoy the gossip.
‘What? It turns out that Zhuo Yi had deliberately fractured s.h.i.+ Sui’s rib when filming a scene?’
‘What? It turns out that s.h.i.+ Sui still managed to nail the long scene in one take despite having had his ribs fractured? He actually has impeccable, G.o.dlike acting chops?’
‘What? s.h.i.+ Sui actually abstains from physical contact with all women except the female celebrity, Xiang Yi?!’
The fans who s.h.i.+pped the Untimely Couple felt sorry for what happened to s.h.i.+ Sui back then, but they didn’t let it get in the way of their support for the couple…
…
On the following day.
Bright early in the morning, the team of “Two Under One Roof” released an official announcement of the guest stars who would be arriving today…
