During this time, the ratings for Xiao Yunhai's Empresses in the Palace also rose steadily. By the fifth episode, it finally broke through 20%, making Jibei TV Station ecstatic.
The station head, Shen Minghui, kept thanking Xiao Yunhai over the phone. In the end, he was so emotional that he choked up, making Xiao Yunhai feel very helpless.
On the fourth day of "Legend of Empresses in the Palace", "Chu River and Han Border" began its grand broadcast on Mango TV. However, it chose to broadcast from 10 pm to 12 pm to avoid the aggressive "Legend of Empresses in the Palace".
Because of this, the entertainment industry was in an uproar. Especially the media, they were especially disappointed.
They originally wanted to hype up the situation between Chu River and Han Border and Empresses in the Palace, but in the end, Chu River and Han Border withdrew without a fight. With such a good news material gone, how could the media be happy?
In a public place, a reporter asked Director Du Hongtai, "Director Du, your Chu River and Han Border was originally scheduled to broadcast during Mango TV's prime time. Why did you suddenly push it back? Is it because you're afraid of Empresses in the Palace? Is that why you made such a helpless choice? "
The reporter asked very bluntly. If a normal director was faced with this kind of question, they would definitely find all kinds of excuses to cover it up. They would definitely not admit that it was because of their opponent.
However, Du Hongtai said bluntly, "The reason why we chose such a time is indeed because Empresses in the Palace's high ratings have given us a lot of pressure. There's nothing wrong with admitting this. Yesterday, one-fifth of Hua Xia's audience was watching Empresses in the Palace. Faced with such a disadvantageous situation, if our Chu River and Han Border still chose to fight head-on, then there's something wrong with our brains. "
"Although the director of Empresses in the Palace, Xiao Yunhai, is a newcomer, his directing skills are very deep. Whether it's in terms of graphics, style, editing, or any other aspect, he's not below any director in Hua Xia. In terms of quality, although I can guarantee that my Chu River and Han Border is not below Empresses in the Palace, we've lost the opportunity and there's almost no hope of winning. So, we can only settle for the next best thing, which is to broadcast it at 10 PM. "
After Xiao Yunhai saw this interview video, he was very impressed. He thought to himself, "No wonder Du Hongtai can become a famous director in Hua Xia. His bearing and breadth of mind are indeed incomparable to ordinary people."
After Xiao Yunhai finished watching the first two episodes of "Chu He Han Boundary", he posted a comment on his homepage, praising the show greatly. Moreover, his words were very precise, and there was no exaggeration at all.
The demeanor of the two directors, one old and one young, received unanimous praise from people in the circle.
The viewership ratings for the premiere of "Chu River and Han Border" reached 9%. Even though it was still a distance away from "Legend of Empresses in the Palace", it was already certain that it would break 10%.
The viewers of Hua Xia were able to feast their eyes on two legendary TV series in a row. They would watch Zhen Huan from 8 pm to 10 pm and Liu Bang and Xiang Yu from 10 pm to 12 pm.
After Yao Na's matter was dealt with, Xiao Yunhai returned home and started writing "iPartment" again. It only took three days to finish it all.
After all, the show only had a total of 20 episodes. With Xiao Yunhai's typing speed, it was not a problem at all.
Zhao Wanqing had been very busy for her album these days. Because the two songs she sang at the premiere of "Legend of Empresses in the Palace" were so good that many people were anxiously waiting. Especially her fans, who had been eagerly waiting for a long time.
Before the album was officially sold, Tianzhai Records began to pre-sell "At Least I Have You" online. In just three days, the pre-sales volume reached more than 5 million copies, breaking the record for the highest pre-sales volume and shocking the industry.
Although it had not been officially released, the results of the pre-sales had led to the conclusion that Xiao Yunhai's strategy was very successful. With the popularity of "Legend of Empresses in the Palace" and the high quality of the album, breaking through 20 million was no longer an armchair strategy.
In addition to the desperate promotion of the album, Zhao Wanqing had to take time out every day to practice martial arts. Xiao Yunhai's senior brother, Luo Tianxiong, found him a 32-year-old, very ordinary-looking middle-aged woman to be Zhao Wanqing's bodyguard and martial arts teacher.
Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied with this. The woman's name was Wang Shujuan. She practiced Wing Chun and had reached the point of obvious strength. She had been in the Luo Family Troupe for six years and had been a stand-in for many big stars. She had performed all kinds of martial arts routines to perfection.
With her around, Xiao Yunhai was very relieved in terms of Zhao Wanqing's studies and safety.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of Zhao Wanqing's album release.
Because the pre-sales results were so good, Tianzhai Records attached great importance to this release. Not only did they invite more than 100 media, but they also let many of the company's big artists come to support her.
As the music producer of Zhao Wanqing's album, Xiao Yunhai naturally came to the release.
When he saw Chang Rong again backstage at the venue, Xiao Yunhai was a little embarrassed.
At the beginning, in order to put pressure on Tianzhai Records, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing deliberately signed an agreement to express Zhao Wanqing's determination to invite Xiao Yunhai.
But it didn't take long for the relationship between the two to break out, which made Xiao Yunhai very embarrassed.
But Chang Rong looked indifferent. For him, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing were not married now. They could only represent individuals. Signing a contract was naturally a normal thing.
At Zhao Wanqing's release, the focus of the reporters' inquiries was not only Zhao Wanqing, but also Xiao Yunhai.
"Mr. Xiao, I heard you say that the target for this album is 20 million. Do you still have this confidence now?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course. The pre-sales volume is almost 6 million. This shows that the fans are still looking forward to this album. "
"What do you think of Miss Zhao Wanqing's performance in the recording studio and during the shooting of the MV?"
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Of course it's very good. My leader's singing skills are well-known both in and outside the industry. The recording of the song was very smooth. As for the MV, hehe, do you think a Golden Goblet Award winning Best Actress won't be able to shoot a few MVs? "
"Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, now that you are Miss Zhao Wanqing's music producer, will you also make albums for other singers in the future?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Definitely not. I'm a person who is most afraid of trouble. I made an album for Wan Qing because she forced me to do it at home. That's why I reluctantly made this one. As for the others, even if they give me more money, I won't do it. "
"Mr. Xiao, one of your songs has been sold for a sky-high price of 5 million in the industry. Now you're making ten songs at once. I wonder what price Tianlai is offering you? Can you reveal it? "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "This is a trade secret. I definitely won't tell you."
After that, Xiao Yunhai glanced at the host of the press conference.
The host understood and said to everyone, "Friends, the Q&A session at the press conference ends here. Next is Miss Zhao Wanqing's performance time. Although a lot of publicity has been done, it seems that everyone hasn't heard the title song of this album yet, right? "
"Yes." The fans shouted in unison.
"In that case, at today's press conference, let's invite Miss Zhao Wanqing to sing the title song 'At Least I Have You' once. Let us listen to it first, okay?"
"Okay."
The host smiled and said, "The voice is too soft. Can't Miss Zhao Wanqing hear it?"
"Okay."
The fans shouted at the top of their lungs, and the sound was deafening.
The host gave a thumbs-up to the audience, and then smiled at Zhao Wanqing, who was coming over, and said, "Miss Zhao, seeing that the fans are so enthusiastic, shouldn't you also fulfill their wish?"
Zhao Wanqing said with a smile, "Of course."
The host said, "Well, next, please use the warmest applause to welcome Miss Zhao Wanqing to bring the title song of the album 'At Least I Have You'."
In the applause and cheers of the fans, Zhao Wanqing first bowed to the audience, and then nodded to the staff.
