Chapter 164 Cheng Cheng: I’m telling you, I’m going to cut you all off!

Ratings updated on Monday.

CCTV8 personally posted a Weibo:
“【#仙剑奇侠传一央八收视全国第一#】6月20日CVB全国网收视数据显示，CCTV-8黄金强档热播剧《仙剑奇侠传》收视率2.37%，收视份额9.29%。位居全上星频道晚间时段电视剧类节目第一位！#仙剑奇侠传一央视收视夺冠#”

When the receipt came out, people all over the country were shocked!

With 14 hits overnight, and 2.37% of viewership and 9.29% of audience share, "Chinese Paladin " is crazy, right?!
In fact, the 2.37% viewership rating is not very high. Last year, there was a highly anticipated anti-corruption drama whose ratings easily exceeded 3%, becoming the drama king of the year.

Looking back further, in 2020, "We Are on the Front Line", which Master Gong spent three years of hard work to create, achieved a viewership rate of 3.8%, almost breaking the 4% mark, which is astonishing.

But those were the highest values ​​after the TV series were broadcast, and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" was the first broadcast!

Besides, Master Gong is one of the top three directors in China, and the cast is extremely luxurious. Even the best actor plays a supporting role, but what about Cheng Cheng? This is only his second year as a director, and it has only been four months from casting to release. Except for Cheng Cheng, Yan Gou'er, and Wen Lian, there are no big names in the actors in the play!
This is not a concept at all!
Moreover, if you calculate carefully, the first broadcast ratings of Master Gong's "We Are on the Front Line" were only 2.15%, which is lower than "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 0.22" and is about % lower than "The Legend of Sword and Fairy ".

Soon, terms such as #The Legend of Sword and Fairy's first broadcast ratings exceeded 2#, #The Legend of Sword and Fairy's first broadcast data is the highest in CCTV-1's ratings in the past nine years#, #The Legend of Sword and Fairy's first broadcast data is CCTV-'s top in ratings in the past nine years#, and #The Legend of Sword and Fairy is the king of dramas# became hot searches.

Many well-known Vs also participated:
[The ratings of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 14 are horrific, which makes the following dramas daunting. The online broadcast data exceeded 2.37 on the day, and the satellite channel data had a rating of 2%. It is really too exaggerated that both the channel and the platform have exploded to this extent. To be honest, it feels that it will be difficult for future dramas to break this record #The Legend of Sword and Fairy ratings broke #]
"'We Are the One' became a huge hit due to word of mouth, and 'Chinese Paladin' took over the popularity. It depends on whether the plot can be stabilized in the later stages. But even if it is bad, it is still better than other dramas except 'We Are the One'!"

"I just watched it on TV, and then bought a membership to watch the platform again, just for the screenshots! My little Gou is so beautiful!"

"Wait, it's hard for any drama to break this record? In a month, it will be "Love Apartment"! Blogger, I allow you to reorganize your words!"

"We, Jianzi, only speak with strength!"

"The only one who can break it is probably Cheng Cheng himself."

"It makes me want to watch it."

"Then hurry in and take a look! What are you waiting for!"

The official account of "Chinese Paladin 1" also posted a Weibo post. The Weibo post was very simple, with only a few words:

"#The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 drama king#Yes."

Netizens were laughing like crazy:

"I've got you covered!"

"Cheng Cheng: You've done it to me again!"

"Cheng Cheng, come out and speak up, did you post this Weibo?"

"It was definitely sent by Cheng Cheng."

"I'm so angry. I specially opened a membership, but he still took advantage of me!"

"Hahaha, he's so happy."

"Everyone, make way for Master Xian!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you are so arrogant but I have nothing to say. Li Xiaoyao gave me the confidence."

"Let them all out!"

"Awesome!! All the male artists should take a look at what a leading male actor is!!!"

This comment hits the nail on the head!

Why are the fantasy dramas in recent years always criticized as idol dramas and romance dramas?
This is because these dramas are all told from the perspective of the heroine. Although the male lead and the second male lead have a lot of roles, and are even not less important than the heroine, in the final analysis, they are all vassals of the heroine, and in essence, the plot is still about the heroine falling in love.

The real fantasy dramas are all those with male protagonists.

Only dramas with male protagonists can attract both men and women, be suitable for everyone, and create extraordinary popularity.

The official of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" interacted happily with the fans of the drama; the actors who played roles such as Drunken Swordsman, Anu, and Moon Worshiper also posted videos on Douyin and interacted with fans. These interactions were very positive, which not only increased the popularity of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", but also helped to improve their popularity; CCTV-8 also changed its Weibo background picture to a still of Li Xiaoyao.

Looking at the overwhelming traffic, Fuhai TV shed tears of envy:

Wow, how great it would be if “The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1” was broadcast on our TV station!
But think about it, it's impossible. First of all, Fuhai TV can't afford the money. The exclusive broadcasting rights of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" were sold to CCTV- for million yuan. Secondly, the coverage of Fuhai TV is indeed incomparable to that of CCTV.

On Monday night, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" was broadcast again with two episodes in a row.

After watching episode 6 and 7, the four backers were confused again!

No, why aren't we here yet?

They called Cheng Cheng, but Cheng Cheng always asked them to wait.

On Tuesday, episodes 8 and 9 were updated, but still without the four of them, and they couldn’t sit still any longer.

This is definitely not normal. All the characters that are supposed to appear in the drama have appeared. It is impossible that the four of them haven't had their parts yet. And even if they haven't, it is impossible that none of the four of them have appeared.

Lin Jia realized the seriousness of the problem.

You Qing was extremely excited. He almost roared as he called Cheng Cheng. As soon as the call was connected, he scolded him fiercely:

"Cheng! What the hell are you doing?! The TV series has already aired to the ninth episode, why is there still no sign of Lin Jia?! Are you deliberately playing a trick on us? Do you really want to die?"

At this time, Cheng Cheng was in Taiwan, on the set of "Those Years", filming night scenes.

After receiving the call, he shouted "Cut", asking the crew to stop first, and then answered the phone in front of everyone, with his hands on his hips, and started to curse at the other party:

"Who the hell are you? You come up here and yell so fiercely!"

You Qing was a little hysterical when he heard Cheng Cheng being so rude:

"I'm You Qing! Are you fucking deaf?!"

"You Qing?" Cheng Cheng repeated the name, and then said, "I know you, the person behind Lin Jia, right? What's your problem?"

You Qing was already furious at this moment, angry at Cheng Cheng's contemptuous attitude towards him, and also angry that things had come to this point:
"I want to ask why the TV series has not yet aired Lin Jia in the ninth episode?! Do you know how people are mocking Lin Jia online now? I don't care what you think of, I want Lin Jia to appear on TV tomorrow night! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

On the set, everyone was looking at Cheng Cheng in total silence.

They also heard the voice on the phone, and heard that the person on the other end of the line was the son of the country's top real estate developer—

Travel celebration!

Cheng Cheng used his little finger to pick his ears, blew on them, and said:
"You Qing, right? Fuck your mother You Qing! I'm telling you, I'm telling you clearly, I'm just teasing you, I'm laying my cards on the table! I recruited them here, but I didn't intend to cut them in, I was just teasing them!"

"what?!"

You Qing was shocked and furious. At this moment, his anger reached its peak and he almost lost his mind!
Especially when he thought about the fact that he had been using his resources and connections to promote "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" during this period of time, this was even more unacceptable to him!

He couldn't accept that someone dared to play tricks on him like this! He couldn't accept that someone dared to ignore him!
Who is he?
He is the son of the richest man in the country!
When has he ever encountered any resistance in what he wanted to accomplish? !
Why isn't Cheng Cheng afraid of him?
Why not submit to him?
Why! ! !
When Lin Jia heard this, she almost fainted. She took two steps forward and tried to grab the phone and question Cheng Cheng in person, but was pushed away by You Qing.

You Qing spitted wildly and roared:
"Cheng Cheng, do you want to die? Do you really want to die? How dare you tease me like this?!"

Cheng Cheng was also angry. He said:
"You Qing, who do you think you are? Do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand? Is it a big deal to have a few stinky money? If I give you face, you are the son of the richest man. If I don't give you face, you are nothing! You are just an outsider, what can you do to me?

Do you want to hear my inner journey? Hahahahahahahaha, I have been waiting for this day for four months! I have been looking forward to this day since you wanted to insert Lin Jia, Meng Xi, Ma Lou and Lai Yiwei in four months ago! But I can't show it. Not only can I not show it, I have to act and act like a submissive clown!

On the set, I did my best to agree with them, please them, and praise them. If they wanted to change the script, I would change the script. If they wanted to be late, I would make them late. If they wanted to beat or scold the staff on the set, I would pretend not to see it. They flirted with each other and hunted for beauties on the set, and I just didn't care!
Why am I doing this? Just for today, hahaha!
I just want to tell you this painful truth when "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" is very popular!

I fooled all of you! Are you expecting to become famous with this drama? Are you expecting to finally have your own masterpiece with this drama?

Hahahaha, you guys don’t appear in this drama at all!
I have been lying to you from the beginning to the end, hahahaha, do you feel good? Hahaha?

I just want to ask if you are happy. Oh, I also want to thank You Shao for sending me traffic! If You Shao and Lin Jia hadn't cooperated with me in this scene, "Chinese Paladin 1" might not have been so popular! "

You Qing has completely lost control at this moment!
He yelled and looked around as if he wanted to destroy something. Finally, he picked a suitable target and smashed the red wine worth hundreds of thousands or even millions in the wine cabinet into pieces.

After a while, he stopped panting and said:
"Cheng Cheng, you are really crazy! You are a complete lunatic! Aren't you afraid of public opinion? As a director, you are openly breaking the rules of the industry by doing this!!! Aren't you afraid of retaliation? Aren't you afraid of being scolded by the public?"

Cheng Cheng thought: Is this the first day you knew I was a lunatic?
He sneered:

"What am I afraid of? What the hell am I afraid of! Now "Chinese Paladin 9" is the most popular drama on the Internet, and the ratings of the first broadcast broke the record in the past years. The whole Internet is on my side, how could I be afraid of you?! What son of the richest man? I am not afraid of the richest man! Not to mention you, you are a waste, garbage, idiot, and retarded! You are already old, almost thirty years old, and you are still called the son of something all day long.

I'm telling you now, I'm at No. 67, XX Road, XX District, Baodao. Aren't you the son of the richest man? Aren't you extremely powerful? I'm waiting for you here, you can do whatever you want! Hiring someone to kill, using a dump truck, bombing, whatever you want, if you can't kill me this time, you will be called the son of Cheng Cheng from now on. I'm much more famous than your father! Maybe your father will have to give up his position as the richest man to me.

Anything else? If not, hang up now!! "

Before You Qing could react, Cheng Cheng hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone screen that was hung up, You Qing was completely furious. He smashed the phone fiercely, looked at the things around him, and smashed them again. Finally, he said breathlessly with red eyes:

"Cheng Cheng, I want you to die!"

In addition to You Qing, the backers of the other three families also called Cheng Cheng. Obviously, they all found out that they were fooled by Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng answered the phone and responded one by one: "What are you talking about, you are just an old fool who takes advantage of your age! Fuck you, you bastard, I don't care about you! I tell you, as long as you are at Jiangnan TV Station, I and all the actors under me will not go on your shitty TV station! I will unilaterally ban you!"

Cheng Cheng: "You shitty vice president, the son of the richest man and the head of a station were all scolded by me and you are worthy of calling me?! What kind of face do you have! What kind of strength do you have? I tell you, I give you three days to come to Taiwan, drink three glasses of white wine, take off your clothes and kneel down to apologize to me, otherwise you can forget about my work appearing on your video platform! If anyone asks, I will say it was you who did it!"

Cheng Cheng: "You are just a small-time middle-level leader, what do you want? There are at least hundreds of thousands of small-time leaders like you who hold a little power in the country, and there is only one director like me in the country! Are you going to make a fuss? If you don't, I will! Let's see whether your superiors will protect you or me! Besides, what does Ma Lou have to do with you? Don't say anything? If you don't say anything, you are a dead old gay!"

After being inexplicably scolded by Cheng Cheng, the leader of Tianying, the vice president of one of the three major video platforms, and the director of Jiangnan TV, looked at his phone and fell into a daze:

No!

Aren’t they here to bring punishment?

Why is Cheng Cheng more anxious than them?

On the set, everyone looked at Cheng Cheng in silence.

Just by listening to the conversation between Cheng Cheng and the man on the phone, they roughly knew what had happened and could also tell who was on the other end of the line.

At this moment, they were a little creepy!
Damn Director Cheng is too powerful, not only did he delete all the scenes of Lin Jia and other four people, he also made fun of them, but he also offended four powerful people: the son of the richest man, the director of Jiangnan TV Station, the vice president of Feiteng Video, and the leader of Tianying!

That’s crazy!
However, some crew members and actors felt very happy. After all, Lin Jia and the other three were too annoying at the time. They were not just disgusting, but extremely disgusting! It was great that they were punished by Director Cheng!

Yan Gou'er looked at Cheng Cheng with her beautiful eyes, her heart agitated:
She knew that Director Cheng's obedience to Lin Jia and the other three was just a superficial submission to power, but in fact he wanted to play a big game! She was so happy to see this plot! Director Cheng is Director Cheng! He is always fair and just, and will never let her down.

Some actors also felt "scared"!
Oh my god, it seems like I must not offend Director Cheng in the future, otherwise my scenes might be cut out at any time.

Online, the fact that Lin Jia and the other three did not appear on the screen was also being discussed, and netizens made various speculations:

"I want to know why Lin Jia and the other three haven't shown up yet? Even though I hate them, I really want to know this question!"

"That's right. Didn't Lai Yiwei tell his fans a few days ago that he would appear in at most 6 episodes? It's already 9 episodes."

"When Chinese Paladin 1 was first aired, the four of them posted on Weibo, interacting with fans in various ways. Some were looking forward to it, some were crazy about it. Why are they quiet now? What's going on?"

"I don't understand it either. Anyway, the later they show up, the better. Fairy Sword One is so good, I don't want them to be a bad apple."

"You think Cheng Cheng wouldn't cut them all off?"

"That's impossible. Cheng Cheng dares to do this?"

"Say it again? Cheng Cheng doesn't dare?"

"Oh shit, maybe it really works!"

At one in the morning, You Qing posted a long Weibo post that instantly ignited the entire Internet:

"Cheng Cheng, fuck your mother, I really fucked your mother!
Really, no one has ever dared to play tricks on me like this! You are the first!
I just called Cheng Cheng and asked him why Lin Jia hasn't appeared in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" yet. Do you know what this Dogecoin says?

This idiot actually said that from the beginning, he had no intention of having Lin Jia appear in the TV series, and that it was all filmed for fun! How could this idiot do this?

I didn't expect there would be such an inhuman person, and the most outrageous thing is that before the release of "Chinese Paladin 1", the idiot under him named Li Zhuo communicated with me and asked me and Lin Jia to cooperate in publicity, buy popularity and brush up the data, which would also be good for Lin Jia.

Okay, having said that, I won’t hide it anymore. Lin Jia and I are indeed in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and I also know some friends who specialize in data.

I did it, and I did it more than once. After the first three episodes were broadcast, I asked him why Lin Jia hadn't appeared yet. He told me not to worry and to continue to collect data, so I did as he asked. When the fourth and fifth episodes came out, I asked him again why he hadn't appeared yet. He told me not to worry again and to continue to collect data, create hype, and call on Lin Jia's fans to watch it together. I continued to do as he asked. When the sixth and seventh episodes came out, I asked him again, and he said he would definitely be on tomorrow and asked me to collect data for the last time. I was like a fucking fool, and was fooled by him again and again!
Well, today the eighth and ninth episodes came out, and the result is obvious, still no! I called him, and he said directly that he had lied to me before! You were fooled, I played you.

OK, OK, OK, Cheng Cheng, you are awesome! You are really awesome!
I'm just a big idiot!
Lin Jia and I are the idiots you fooled!
Cheng Cheng, I really want to ask you, is it fun to fool me so many times? Is your heart made of stone?! Do you know how much effort Lin Jia put into this role, and you tell me that this role is made up? By doing this, you not only fooled me and Lin Jia, but also hurt the expectations and trust of countless audiences! You ruined the entire industry!

From now on, in this circle, it’s either you or me!

Oh, by the way, Cheng Cheng not only deleted Lin Jia, but also Lai Yiwei, Ma Lou, and Meng Xi. Everyone, hurry up and curse this idiot to death. "

You Qing is a big troll. He often goes on rants on Weibo, scolding this star and that star, and his mouth is particularly foul.

Sometimes some stars don’t like to argue with him, and just let him scold them and pretend not to see it; but when they meet those stars who are more serious, they will retort a few words to him, and as a result, he will be like a dog with broken defense, chasing after them and biting them.

Sometimes he even criticizes his own company.

However, because he is outspoken and down-to-earth, he has accumulated a group of fans.

Under the path dependence, You Qing chose to take the conflict between Cheng Cheng and him to the Internet. After all, it was impossible for him to really hire someone to kill someone or do something real offline. This is a modern society and he dare not do anything wrong.

As a result, when he posted this on Weibo, the entire Chinese Internet exploded, and even the confused netizens couldn’t sleep!
Oh my god, there’s a big melon!
