Chapter 649: Chapter 648 Becoming Popular_1 Chapter 649: Chapter 648 Becoming Popular_1 “”S Drama Hits Big in H Country, Qiao Xiaren’s Grand Comeback!”
“Power Couple Creates Transnational Romance, Stunning Foreigners!”
“Qiao Xiaren’s First Idol Drama Scores Skyrocketing Ratings!”
News headlines of this sort were flooding in, as Qiao Xiaren had made such a big splash in H country, she had quickly dominated its top three hot headlines.
Love City had become popular, and its rise to fame had happened with an unimaginable speed. Quickly, it had spread throughout the entirety of S and H countries. In just one night, discussions about Love City along with Qiao Xiaren and Chu Yifei, were on various search engines, forums, social media sites and more.
Usually, a TV drama that gets high ratings only does well domestically, and its popularity tends to wane after it finishes airing. But Love City was clearly an exception, as it pretty much swept the domestic market upon its release, with its ratings staying unbeatably high!
And it was not only popular domestically, this Love City storm was also starting to pick up abroad.
Even though Qiao Xiaren was already quite famous, which guarantees a certain level of viewership, the crazy rating results obviously show that this series is beloved by everyone in the country.
The head of Southern Television was close to bursting with laughter, they understood too well how astonishing and terrifying these data were! The glory days of S dramas were seemingly coming back!
And this drama that’s recreating the glory of the old S dramas was broadcasted on their very own channel!
This was a record to be scared of!
A record that people would still be talking about many years later!
“Old Li, congratulations, really congratulations! It’s a shared joy!” The head of Southern Television was so excited that he actually gave the head of Jiangbei Television a princess carry and spun him around. “We should have collaborated a long time ago! Look at this, they’re probably green with envy!”
No one was shocked by the uncharacteristic behaviour of the two heads of networks at this moment.
However, it is rare to see these two that always have contrary opinions, shaking hands and speaking in peace like they did today
“Quick, quick, quick, call in the publicity department and write up a big news story, we want the entire television industry to quake with this achievement!”
The networks that didn’t buy the broadcasting rights to Love City were bitter, especially Hongguo Television Station, which had chosen to air Han Junji’s drama in the same slot. Their network chief was cursing out his subordinates again.
Now, Hongguo Television Station had become a massive joke and the laughing stock of the other networks. However, while they were the butt of the joke, the head of Hongguo never took his eyes off Love City, waiting for it to finish airing the first time so he could quickly buy the broadcasting rights.
As the streets and alleys were filled with Love City posters, H Country officially introduced the S drama, Love City.
Previously, H and S dramas were in an extremely unbalanced state. H dramas were wildly popular in S country, while S dramas were very weak. It was at the point where it couldn’t even arouse the interest of viewers in its own country, let alone in H country.
The arrival of Love City had entirely broken through this stagnation.
Love City premiered at midnight in H country.
The reason they chose to air it at midnight was due to H country’s tendency to resist foreign dramas. This time slot wasn’t a prime-time slot and most people would be asleep at this hour.
Airing it at this time, one would assume that the show’s ratings would be lukewarm in H country. However, the result–
To everyone’s shock, the ratings for Love City still skyrocketed at its premiering time slot. The head of a certain H country network nearly dropped his jaw when he saw the data the next day!
This drama was just too phenomenal!
