"You from the Star" premiered on August 18, and Zhedong Satellite TV and Beijing Television won a total of 4.42% of the ratings. The second episode aired the next day on the 19th, and the ratings broke through 5%!
Although it is not possible to rely on the first two episodes to judge the overall ratings of a TV series, basically no one inside or outside the circle questioned the success of "You from the Star". The media's speculation about "You from the Star" was more focused on the average ratings that the TV series could achieve in the end.
On the same night on the 19th, the Korean dubbed version of "You from the Star" premiered on South Korea's KGS TV station.
Due to the two popular dramas "Autumn in My Heart" and "Full House of Romance" as the basis, coupled with KGS's vigorous publicity, especially because there were two South Korean artists in "You from the Star", "You from the Star" was highly anticipated by South Korean TV audiences before it was broadcasted.
The result did not disappoint. The ratings of "You from the Star" that night reached 29.25%, only 0.75% away from reaching the 30% super high line. Moreover, the following rate on the Internet was as high as 90%, and its reputation was no worse than that in China.
When the news returned to China, it caused another sensation in the media!
The fans of Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er were of course cheering and applauding loudly. Many friendly and neutral media were generous in their praise, which also made those guys who had the intention of killing them by praising them feel very embarrassed.
The reason was very simple. No matter how much they praised "You from the Star", it seemed very pale in comparison to the great success that "You from the Star" had already won. As for the effect being completely ineffective, it was just advertising "You from the Star" in vain.
If they continued, it would just be throwing money into the water. If they gave up now, it would be really unbearable!
It was undeniable that from "Autumn in My Heart" to "Full House of Romance", and then to "You from the Star" that had just been broadcasted, the two male and female protagonists, Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, had raised their status in the TV circle to the top and ranked among the real big stars.
But the two of them made their debut as singers, especially Lu Chen, who had only debuted for two years.
A commentator wrote on the blog: I think that Lu Chen's greatest success is not the number of outstanding musical works he has written, nor the number of successful TV roles he has acted in, but the TV scripts he has written have subverted the entire industry!
This commentator's remarks were obviously too exaggerated. Lu Chen's success was undeniable, but he certainly didn't reach such a height when it came to disrupting the industry. At most, it could only be said that he had a great impact.
However, many people in the industry liked the blog post and forwarded it.
Before Lu Chen filmed Autumn in My Heart, there were a lot of youth idol dramas and urban romance dramas on domestic TV screens, and there was a serious problem of homogeneity.
The plots copied and imitated each other, the settings were messy, and the stories were contradictory. It was a common problem.
The audience had long been tired of watching TV and would rather support Korean and Japanese dramas than waste time on Chinese dramas.
"Autumn in My Heart" changed this situation.
Although "Autumn in My Heart" was a tragedy, Lu Chen, who was creating a TV series for the first time, told the story very well. The plot was told in an unhurried manner, and the rough love between the male and female leads was even more touching. Whether it was the quality of the shooting of the series or the dubbing and music, they were all first-class.
Therefore, "Autumn in My Heart" was a success and became a mess, and it also attracted countless imitators.
For a time, in the domestic TV industry, the story of the male or female lead suffering a terminal illness or a car accident was popular.
Then Lu Chen launched "Full House of Romance".
He did not eat up the success of "Autumn in My Heart". He jumped out of the successful template of sad sadomasochism and filmed a warm and pleasant romantic light comedy, and then ruthlessly trampled on a group of peers.
Until now, "You from the Star" played with science fiction and CG!
It had always been imitated, but never surpassed!
Many people may not be convinced, because in the TV industry, Lu Chen did not have many qualifications, nor did he get a pile of awards to prove himself. He was too young …
But they had to be convinced, because the three TV series with heaven-defying ratings were the thickest qualifications, and the audience's reputation was the best trophy, more important than any TV awards.
What should really be embarrassed was that the so-called mainstream in the industry intentionally or unintentionally suppressed and ignored Lu Chen and the urban romance trilogy he represented.
"Now that they can't pretend anymore, they can't continue to cover their eyes and shout 'I can't see', right?"
A columnist said sarcastically on his blog, "Wouldn't that be the biggest joke?"
What people did not expect was that one of the results of the huge ratings of "You from the Star" was actually a deep reflection and discussion in the industry on Lu Chen and the films and TV series created by Lu Chen.
On August 25th, the third episode of "You from the Star" was broadcast, and the ratings easily broke through 6%, reaching 6.27%!
On August 26th, the fourth episode had a rating of 7.79%, sweeping the market in an invincible manner.
More and more viewers, under the recommendation of the "fans", became loyal viewers of "You from the Star".
On the same day, South Korea's KGS TV broadcast the third episode of "You from the Star", and the ratings broke through 40%, causing the South Korean media to cry "wolf" once again.
On the evening of August 27th, Central TV Department 2's "Hot Spot" invited many guests to discuss and analyze the huge success of "You from the Star", as well as the social impact it had.
"Hot Spot" was one of Central TV Department 2's famous programs. It was broadcast once a week, and the content closely followed the current hot topics and influential social events. The invited guests were all authoritative professionals in the relevant industries.
Since the official broadcast of this program, this was the first time they discussed a TV series, and it was a TV series with an urban romance theme. It could be considered a first.
In this episode of "Hot Spot", several guests commented on the success of "You from the Star", believing that the reason this TV series could win over countless viewers was not because of vulgarity or unscrupulous competition, but because of the excellent production, wonderful story, and sincere attitude.
That night, "Hot Spot" achieved the highest ratings since its first broadcast.
After the program was broadcast, the number of media reporters who came to Chen Fei Media's headquarters and Huairou Film City suddenly increased by several times. Everyone wanted to know what Lu Chen thought about this.
But they all pounced on empty air.
Because on the morning of the 28th, Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er took the earliest flight to Hangzhou.
The two of them would participate in the Voice of China concert on the evening of the 30th!
