Inside a BBQ restaurant
All the staff of «The stars above» was here. The cameraman, lighting staff, audio staff, the directors and all the actors and their managers were here.
They were here to watch the first broadcast of their drama together.
It was the idea proposed by CEO w.a.n.g.
"What do you think the drama ratings would be?"
"I think we will surely surpa.s.s 1% ratings."
"It will be good if we managed to surpa.s.s it but I had heard that the other dramas are doing quite well."
"Yeah, «College dreams» and «The killer» has both garnered good response from the viewers."
People were talking excitedly in the restaurant but there was a hint of worry in their voice.
It was because both of their compet.i.tors, «College dreams» and «The killer» had garnered good response.
They were broadcasted one week before «The stars above», so there were many people who wanted to see the next episodes of their drama.
"Ah, those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from CTS and SKB, they schemed against us to get ahead."
CEO w.a.n.g said as he slammed his fist into the table.
"But what can we do CEO, they ended their previous broadcast a week earlier for this. Our channel didn"t do that, we can only blame ourselves for it."
"That f.u.c.king general manager, I want to see his face when he saw the ratings. Hey, the ratings will be good, right."
CEO w.a.n.g said as he stared at the marketing team manager and the manager nodded his head as he said.
"Yes, CEO, we will surely surpa.s.s 1% ratings but we do not know it we can beat the other two dramas."
"Yeah, but what can we do. «College dreams» and «The killer», both registered a rating of 1.3% and 1.4% for their opening episodes. Their program team was literally dancing hearing the ratings."
"Yeah, it will be hard to beat them."
"I don"t want to hear it, I just want to beat them."
CEO w.a.n.g said as he chugged a gla.s.s of beer down his throat.
At the table where the actors were sitting, the atmosphere was mostly good but some people were still nervous.
"Ah, I am too nervous thinking about the response."
"Well, people are expecting too much from us."
"I would say that there are too many people wanting to know if the drama will be a hit or a flop. It"s really put pressure on me."
"Yeah, but why are we worried unnecessarily when our male lead is not looking worried at all."
An actor said as he pointed a finger to Ren who was happily eating his food.
All the other actors also looked at him when they saw this. One of the veteran actors asked.
"Ren, are you not feeling nervous. Most of the stakes are on you tonight."
"Well, I am definitely nervous but I think the drama will go well."
Ren said as he smiled.
"Really! I hope it goes well too."
"Yeah, there are many people wanting to see our drama, so there is a high chance that it will go well."
"I wish I would have that sort of att.i.tude when I was young."
The actors and actresses chatted when they heard Ren"s response.
"Are you really not feeling nervous?"
This time, it was Chen Mei who asked this question. She was looking beautiful today too with her long dress and slight makeup.
"I told I am nervous. It"s just that I am not thinking much about it."
"You and Xiao Rin are really peculiar. You both are really acting carefree."
Chen Mei said as she glanced at Xiao Rin who was happily eating besides Ren. It was the first time she had saw this type of att.i.tude from a rookie.
Normally, a rookie would be too worried. Some will even start to pray for good ratings but Xiao Rin was really carefree.
"It"s because I also believe that the ratings will be good."
Xiao Rin said when she noticed Chen Mei"s gaze but before Chen Mei could continue, they heard a loud voice.
"The broadcast is starting!!"
