IPartment? I don't think many people are optimistic about this TV series, right? I'm not interested just from the name. "
"I think so too. Life comedies are all the same. It must be boring."
"This kind of TV series is definitely boring. I don't know what's so good about it."
"I know all that, but this TV series is from Actor Y's hands. The person who was optimistic about Huo Yuanjia last time was also very good, but a miracle happened in the end. At least it shows that his screenwriting ability is still very good. I don't think iPartment will disappoint."
"It's just Huo Yuanjia. If Actor Y showed his face and participated in it personally, it would be worth watching. You've made him a legend."
"That's right. Xiao Feifei is too much. She didn't want to be a goddess on the screen and instead retreated behind the scenes. The first TV series she produces will definitely have a lot of flaws. It'll be good enough if it's not a bad one."
"However, I think iPartment's ratings won't be too bad. After all, with a director like Li Tai, coupled with the popularity of Xiao Feifei and Actor Y, it should barely reach 0.6."
…
In a certain neighborhood in a certain area.
The family of three took advantage of the rare opportunity to gather together quietly on New Year's Day and sat together in front of the television.
"Mom, change the channel. I want to watch Banana TV."
"Why? I'm waiting for 'For My Love'."
"Aiya, watch iPartment first. That's Actor Y. Our classmates always say that Y's productions are always the best. Let's watch it."
"What Y? Z? What's there to watch?"
"I want to watch it too. Just one look. It might be good!"
"This name sounds so old-fashioned. What kind of genre is it? Alright, stop messing around. I'll change it for you."
…
As the screening time approached, Weibo became even livelier.
"I just made a list of the TV series that will be released on New Year's Day. Everyone, let's predict the ratings together."
"Sure, let's do it together."
"I think For My Love and Palace should be able to break 1. Maybe even 1.1. That'll be the highest. As for iPartment, I think it'll be the lowest, 0.5 to 0.7."
"Previous poster, my conclusion is similar to yours. Banana TV's ratings aren't high to begin with. Coupled with iPartment's low expectations, it'll probably be very bleak."
"I heard that iPartment was originally broadcast on Durian TV, but it was squeezed out by For My Love. That's terrible."
"That's for sure. The TV channel isn't doing charity, so of course they'll choose the one that's better."
"I really have to hand it to Actor Y. He's acting one moment, then shooting a movie the next. Can't he just keep it up? Now you insist on making a TV series, and it's even a lifestyle comedy. Isn't that destroying your own reputation? "
"I hope Actor Y won't disappoint me. After all, I still have feelings for Y."
"When iPartment flops, I hope Actor Y will recognize himself and take the initiative to remove the Y code name."
…
Strawberry TV channel.
Orange TV Channel.
Peach TV Channel.
At the same time, many TV channels were also paying attention to the reactions on the Internet. These were the guarantee of their own programs' ratings!
They would even arrange for their own staff to act as a water army in the comments section to promote the merits of their channel's TV series and gain more attention.
Durian TV's Director He was also comparing the various data and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Sure enough, I made the right choice back then. A theme like iPartment is destined to fail. For My Love, a heart-wrenching ethical drama is the way to go."
"That's right. I'm afraid Banana TV has gone too far this time. They actually accepted iPartment on a whim."
When it was almost eight o 'clock and everyone was waiting in front of the TV channel, another trending topic popped up.
That trending topic turned out to be related to advertising and included many advertisers.
[iPartment is asking for an exorbitant price. A TV series like this is asking for three million in advertising fees!]
[That's right. I just want the actors to drink our Old Black's fine wine in the show, but they're asking for two million!]
[Our Amuxi is the same. It's already good enough that they're interested in their show, yet they're asking for such an exorbitant price. They don't know where they stand!]
[I wonder if there's any company willing to pay that kind of advertising fee.]
[Hehe, that's right. It's just a small advertisement. Even if their ratings are as high as 1.3, the interspersed advertising fee is only five million!]
[I don't know where iPartment gets its confidence from. They even dare to confront others during New Year's Day.]
…
Those advertisers seemed to have made an agreement and mocked iPartment. They had all contacted Li Tai before and wanted to advertise in the TV series. That was a very common phenomenon, and it was also a form of sponsorship. It was mutually beneficial.
However, Ye Lingchen set the price very firmly. That was because he could not ruin his own brand. He was taking the high-end route, so the price was very high. Furthermore, there was no room for bargaining. Moreover, to be honest, Ye Lingchen did not care for that little bit of money if the price was too low.
Under such circumstances, the price naturally could not be agreed upon. Moreover, the difference between the prices was very wide.
That made those advertisers a little depressed. 'For a TV series like that, you should be applauding and cheering for being sponsored. Instead, you're acting like a boss. Who would be happy to serve you?
'Do you think you're an ace program? What right do you have to be arrogant? '
After the advertisers saw the one-sided comments on the Internet, they were even more dissatisfied. Naturally, they did not mind jumping out to disgust iPartment.
At that moment, the boos on the Internet became even louder. The initial lack of optimism had evolved into contempt.
It was important to know one's own limitations.
'It's fine if your TV series is bad, but you just can't recognize yourself. That's too much. Do you really think you can have amazing ratings?' 'A newly established company with a team full of newcomers, what right do you have to make people spend so much money on advertising?'
Not to mention that it was a new company, even an established company with an all-star lineup had the possibility of failure. Did you really think that advertisers were fat sheep?
At eight o 'clock sharp.
The advertisements on the major TV channels ended one after another.
On Banana TV, the scene changed and the colors began to brighten. Amidst the cheerful and relaxing background music, young handsome men and beautiful women began to appear on the screen one after another. They all had smiles on their faces, which made people feel very comfortable. There was also the introduction of the actors in alphabetical letters.
The theme song was completely different from other TV series. It was full of vitality and joy.
"…
Take a breath of pure oxygen and float
Against a blue background, I practice flying at an angle
Maintain my attitude
My future style is up to me
Dance the whole day
Play with the whole screen
Dream with electricity running straight
Running on the map I drew
… "
IPartment begins!
