Chapter 481: Laughing Stock!

Zhejiang TV at 8pm for ‘Love Through Different Time’.

The average rating for the first and second episodes was 4.25%!

Their peak rating was 5.1%!

This result was almost 0.75% higher than the first day rating of ‘Young Di Renjie’!

If it was a variety show, just the percentage gap would make the show not a bad one.

Let alone adding 4.25% on top of it, the first day rating almost broke through the 5% mark!

Adding this data and the data from the internet, it would be very predictable for the ‘Love Through Different Time’ to break through the 10% rating mark in the future!

As for whether the rating would collapse or not, nobody even thought of it,

Would a script written by Teacher Chu Liuxiang crash down?

Was this a joke!?

Just when the fans of ‘Love Through Different Time’ were satisfied with the data from the TV rating and internet broadcast viewers count, the rating report for Yuzhou TV also came out.

Yuzhou TV 8pm report, ‘Princess Returning Pearl’.

The average rating for the first and second episode was 7.83%!

Their peak rating was 10.55%!

Nani?!

Everyone almost couldn’t believe it when they saw the report on the rating.

Including the fans of ‘Princess Returning Pearl’.

Although they thought that even if ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ was very good, they still didn’t expect it to be so high.

What did it mean for the average rating to reach 7.83%?

This was an even higher rating than ‘Water Margin’ from last Spring Festival!

And ‘Water Margin’ was one of China’s four masterpieces and had a large number of fans anticipating it.

Those fans weren’t only the young people but also the middle-age people and elderly.

Getting a high rating was an expected outcome.

Although the average rating later didn’t surpass 15% or higher, a big rating for the first episode was guaranteed.

However, as soon as ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ came out, it broke the record set by ‘Water Margin’ and the record set for the first episode of a TV series for the past 15 years!

Fifteen years ago, there were no computers and you could only watch those shows on TV so the rating was extremely high back then.

The peak viewership of 10.55% was even more scary as it was the best rating in the last twenty years.

The fact that 10.55% watched the first broadcast of ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ meant it could no longer be described as a great TV series and even not godly TV series, only super godly TV series was a suitable title.

People thought at first that ‘Love Through Different Times’ was already amazing enough.

Unexpectedly, it was still too weak compared to ‘Princess Returning Pearl’.

It wasn’t that ‘Love Through Different times’ wasn’t good enough but facing against ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ gave them a huge setback.

All in all, this was what happened when facing against one’s enemy, unlucky!

At this moment, the fans of ‘Love Through Different Times’ who were celebrating on the internet, immediately quieted down and disappeared.

Instead, the fans of ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ and the onlookers started to talk,

“Ayooo… come! Your online viewers are 50% higher than ours, 5 million more, amazing!”

“I admit that we ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ lost in front of Youyi’s viewership data! Those numbers are probably made up by them, they could put 100 million to show how good they are if they wanted!”

“Haha, I’m dying of laughter! Your face has been slapped now, right? Really shameless! You think nobody can expose you? Aren’t everything out now that the TV rating is out?”

“I watched the two TV series and felt like ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ was a bit better and more interesting, I was still wondering why other’s opinions were so different from mine but it turned out that they cheated!”

“That’s why you shouldn’t fake it! Don’t Youyi feel ashamed? ‘Love Through Different Time’ wasn’t bad to begin with but after doing this, I feel disgusted! It completely lowered the standing of ‘Love Through Different Time’!”

“Do you think they will fake it again tomorrow? How about you increase it even higher so when the rating comes out tomorrow, you’ll get slapped even harder!”

“…”

Facing against the ridicule and questioning from the people, very few fans of ‘Love Through Different Time’ refuted it.

The reason was simple, this matter could be seen through with a glance.

The number of views from Youyi and Shanhai Streaming were all things they could personally see before releasing them.

Under normal situations, everyone knew there was a bit of doping but it wouldn’t be too far away from reality.

But this time, the TV rating went in a completely different direction compared to the internet broadcast viewership.

The data for the TV rating were all done uniformly by a third party organization and the TV stations couldn’t falsify them so this data was relatively more accurate.

So, here was the problem.

Since the TV rating of ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ completely overwhelmed ‘Love Through Different Time’ so how could the number of viewers on the internet broadcast from ‘Love Through Different Time’ completely overwhelm ‘Princess Returning Pearl’?

Was it possible that the audience group was completely different?

Of course not!

Both TV series’ themes were ‘relaxed’, ‘joyful’ and ‘humorous’!

Their genre was similar.

There wasn’t a different taste from the viewers such as young people preferred to watch ‘Love Through Different Time’ on the internet while the elderly and middle aged watched ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ on TV.

Moreover, there were also online surveys.

Regardless of which survey it was, almost 80% of the people in the survey stated that ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ was much better than ‘Love Through Different Time’.

So there was only one conclusion.

Youyi’s data last night about ‘Love Through Different Time’ with 15 average viewers and peak viewers count of 20 million were made up by them.

It was in fact nowhere near that high.

That was why they got slapped in the face today!

Youyi directly became a laughing stock!

At the same time, their credibility took a hit.

They could fake this TV series, couldn’t they also fake on other shows?

The price of advertisement on the site was based on traffic.

If there was only 1 million people watching but they counted it as 5 million, the price that the advertiser had to give was completely different.

The revenue from advertisers count for a large part of Youyi’s revenue.

Youyi would have a trust crisis if they lost the advertisers’ trusts and their revenue would be greatly affected!

Gan Liangchen was in a battered state after the wave of distrust and embarrassment.

So the furniture and porcelain vase was once again gone through a storm.

The secretaries listened to that symphony for all afternoon~~~
