The ratings on the first day after it started airing reached 1.95%. This is already a very high first-run ratings.
And on the second day, it was like riding a rocket, jumping to 4.26%!
However, the growth momentum is far from over! It exceeded 5% on the third day...
Zhong Yunqing knows that in the previous life, the highest ratings of Wulin Gaiden almost exceeded 10! It was second only to Princess Huanzhu!
Through such soaring ratings, we can see how much people like this drama.
In just three days, almost all large and small forums and posts on the newly emerging Internet in Mainland China were discussing topics about this drama.
For example, the stingy shopkeeper Tong and the timid Bai Zhantang;
For example, Lu Xiucai, who is obviously very decent but submissive and has a strong scholarly atmosphere;
For example, Guo Furong, who is so good-looking but is a violent woman!
Etc., etc……
However, the reason why this show is so popular is actually not accidental.
Because before that, when it comes to martial arts, basically what TV stations broadcast, and what people imagine, are adaptations of martial arts dramas created by great masters such as Golden Servants and Gurung. They are all relatively decent battles between Jianghu and Jianghu.
.
The emergence of "Wulin Gaiden" is both a subversion and an innovation for the vast majority of viewers.
No one expected that this drama could use only an inn and a humorous way to narrate such a different "martial arts" through the appearance of all kinds of Jianghu characters in the inn.
…………
On the afternoon of the third day, Zhong Yunqing and Sisi came to pick up Zhao Liying from the hospital.
However, due to the popularity of the TV series, Zhong Yunqing temporarily left Sisi in the car in order to avoid being watched in the hospital. Then he wore a mask himself and went to the hospital to help Ying Bao complete the discharge procedures.
Ying Bao was taken to the parking lot, and as soon as she got in the car, she excitedly held Sisi's hand:
"Sisi, this drama you made is so good and funny! I watch it on time every day! It's just that two episodes a day are too short, and it's not enough to watch."
Sisi has been dizzy with the high ratings of this drama these days, so when Ying Bao praised her like this, she could only respond with a smile. Then the two girls exchanged words with each other.
Chatting.
But Zhong Yunqing did not join their conversation. He had just been in a car accident last time, which made him have lingering fears about the roads in Yanjing. Therefore, he drove very carefully on the road sections where the vision was not wide enough.
Fortunately, the hospital was not too far from the Chinese Theater. It took about 20 minutes to drive there. She took out her luggage from the trunk.
While several people were talking, they got out of the elevator. Zhong Yunqing took out the key and opened the door. Then he stepped aside and said to Zhao Liying:
"Come in Liying, you will live here during your studies."
This is a house on the sixth floor with excellent lighting. It can be seen that the owner is a young lady and is decorated in a girlish style.
"Well, how much is the rent for this house?" Zhao Liying asked with a somewhat restrained expression as she looked at such a well-decorated house with expensive furniture and appliances.
After all, she only had more than a thousand dollars in cash in her pocket. Although she had a bank card worth 30,000 yuan as compensation from Zhong Yunqing, she was a little reluctant to spend too much money to rent a house.
Of course Zhong Yunqing knew her difficulty. He smiled slightly when the key was handed to her, and then continued to respond:
"Don't worry about money. I've already paid the rent here. You can rest assured and consider it as compensation for letting you stay in the ward for a month. And I'm not letting you live alone. Sisi is afraid that you will be alone."
If you’re not used to living with someone else, she will often come over to stay with you.”
Saying these words, Zhong Yunqing suddenly felt a little awkward. If Sisi and Ying Bao moved in, wouldn't he have to "keep the empty room alone"?
But his little girlfriend insisted, and there was nothing he could do! Sure enough, same-sex love is true!
Zhong Yunqing had arranged for housekeeping to clean the house some time ago. With Sisi's help, Yingbao changed some bed sheets and quilt covers, and then she could move in directly.
Then, a few people went out to have dinner together. As expected, Sisi chose to go back to the community over there with Ying Bao, which made Zhong Yunqing full of resentment, but she could only go back to Tongxin Home by herself.
…………
However, as soon as Zhong Yunqing started the car in the parking lot, he received an unexpected call. It was Mr. Luo from Qidian, whom he had not contacted for a long time.
It turns out that after "Wulin Gaiden" became a hit for a few days, Qidian discovered that Zhong Yunqing's identity as an actor has great publicity value.
If Zhong Yunqing is persuaded to accept the exposure of his identity as both an actor and the master author of Qidian at this time, he can create a good topic and promote the development of Qidian.
In fact, this idea is not the first time. As early as when Liang Jian became popular, Qidian had considered exposing his identity as an actor to attract a wave of attention.
Later, after careful research, I found that this method is not very easy to use at present. After all, the monk played by Zhong Yunqing is only a supporting role of Liang Jian.
Yes, The Sword is very popular! But this is just a popular drama, and the actual impact on ordinary actors is not high.
But things are different now! The popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" in recent days has brought the scholar played by Zhong Yunqing into the public eye.
And in terms of appearance rate, the scholar is much higher than the monk, and he is definitely one of the real protagonists.
Judging from the response after the broadcast, Zhong Yunqing's upright image, paired with bookish lines such as "Zi once said", is a bit cute in contrast.
Therefore, after some research by the bosses of Qidian, they found that exposing Zhong Yunqing’s identity as a great Qidian writer at this time will most likely attract a lot of attention. It may even attract the attention of some regular media.
His status as an author, as well as his status as an actor in two hit drama characters, the monk and the scholar, are enough to create the publicity effect of "one plus one is greater than two".
Therefore, Qidian paid special attention to this matter and directly asked Luo Li, one of the Five Emperors, to personally call Zhong Yunqing and implement this matter with him.
Of course Zhong Yunqing didn't know Qidian's strategy. He was just curious about the other party's sudden purpose of looking for him.
"Hi, Mr. Luo."
The other party knew him, so he didn't exchange too many greetings and said directly and familiarly:
"Yun Qing, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply! I watched Wulin Gaiden, it's a good drama!"
"Hey, don't joke with me! When the TV series was being filmed, no one knew it would be so popular."
"That's true..."
After chatting with each other for a few words, Zhong Yunqing took the initiative to ask:
"You're not just here to talk to me about this, right?"
"It's related to this. Well, we discussed it and decided to focus on your work on the homepage of the website. Then we will hang your work on the homepage of the website, and then find some newspapers to focus on promoting you as both an actor and a great master.
This identity..."
Zhong Yunqing understood the other party's explanation. Of course he was extremely happy for such a mutually beneficial thing.
Because the starting point now is no longer the same as it was more than a year ago.
After Shanda's capital injection, this genuine paid platform has developed extremely rapidly. According to his understanding, the number of paying users now has reached more than 200,000, and it is still increasing rapidly.
If his novel is listed on the homepage, even if one-third or even one-fifth of the more than 200,000 paying users become his paying readers, then the new subscriptions in the future will be very considerable.
Therefore, after obtaining Zhong Yunqing's consent, the layout of the starting point was immediately rolled out.
Zhong Yunqing was promoted intensively as a typical author. This was a big deal. His fans knew that the book they were following was originally written by an actor from a popular TV series.
The result is as expected. Many readers who have read Wulin Gaiden, but have not read Infinite Stream and Mortal Stream, will be curious to click in to see what a novel written by an actor will look like.
You must know that the profession of actor always has its own aura when there are no paparazzi to expose dirty information.
To use an analogy, it's like Hu Ge got bored one day while staying in Tangren and suddenly started writing novels. No need to think about it, his fans will immediately flood him with massive subscriptions and rewards, and he will become a god in minutes.
Is there any!
So it is conceivable that Zhong Yunqing's people-friendly act of turning his career as an actor into his identity as an author of online articles instantly gained a lot of favorability in the online article circle.
Come to think of it, the scholar is actually a big rice dumpling! An actor in a popular TV series is actually an online novel writer, and the creativity of the novels he writes is still original.
Immediately, it sparked heated discussions in online forums and novel book circles at an extremely fast speed, and attracted countless fans!
Even in the hearts of the majority of netizens, he suddenly became one of the most popular celebrities.
You must know that there were more than one million readers of online novels during this period, and unlimited flow and mortal flow are the two most popular genres now.
"Wulin Gaiden" was originally a phenomenal hit drama, and the scholar played by Zhong Yunqing was also very popular.
Now add the great writer of online novels as a person who is close to the people. His influence among the vast number of readers has become as much as that of A-list celebrities overnight.
It's just like the live broadcasts of big stars in later generations. Many book friends who originally only read pirated books also installed Qidian specially in order to read novels written by such a down-to-earth star.
Then in just a few days, the number of paying users at Qidian increased by nearly three times! The Internet literary circle was shocked!
Even after a few days of publicity fermentation, Zhong Yunqing is now not only down-to-earth, but also in the ridicule of netizens, he belongs to:
The actor who is best at writing online novels in the actor circle; the best actor in the field of online novels...
