"Hey, did you watch it? Yesterday's animation!!! " It was July 23rd, an era without mobile phones, so most Fusangpeople did not know that some of their compatriots had knelt on the ground to watch an animation the day before.
That was why "Legend of the Three Kingdoms" had not caused much of a stir. It seemed that this animation was relying on its own quality to attract viewers.
Fortunately, the wine of "Legend of the Three Kingdoms" was too fragrant.
On the second day of class, many Fusang children would occasionally hear a few classmates enthusiastically discussing "Legend of the Three Kingdoms".
In Fusang school, one of the most important skills was to understand the atmosphere and integrate into the social circle. Even the children in the same class would have many social circles. If you could not integrate into these social circles, you would unknowingly be ostracized and bullied by all your classmates.
Therefore, these children worked hard every day to integrate into the social circle. At the same time, they had to keep abreast of the latest news and hot topics so that they could talk to their classmates in the social circle.
For example, on this day, when a few classmates in the social circle were excitedly discussing a magical animation, many students were very curious and began to ask, "What are you talking about?"
"'Legend of the Three Kingdoms', have you watched it?" The classmate asked excitedly.
"No!" You shook your head blankly.
"Forget it, then I have nothing to talk about with you!" The classmate quickly abandoned you and began to enthusiastically discuss the relevant information with the few classmates who had watched "Legend of the Three Kingdoms".
It was as if someone suddenly posted on Weibo or WeChat Moments that "The Legend of the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" was really good, and then a lot of people commented and liked it. You would definitely want to know what this "The Legend of the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" was.
Even if you did not know, you would like it and say that you had watched it too.
In any case, you could only try to find out more information. In the end, you would be told that the first episode of "Legend of the Three Kingdoms" would be rebroadcast at a certain time tonight. Therefore, you would put down your school bag and wait in front of the TV on time to find the channel and wait for the broadcast of "Legend of the Three Kingdoms".
Then you kneeled on the ground and watched the first episode.
Therefore, on the third day, almost half of the students in the class began to discuss the hardcore animation, "Legend of the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms". The remaining half of the class had no choice but to try their best to figure out what this "Legend of the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" was.
This was the characteristic of viral transmission. As long as a program was popular, or the quality was high enough, it could spread throughout the entire cultural circle in just a few days.
"Legend of the Three Kingdoms" was just like that. In a short span of three days, it almost blew up the entire Fusang TV audience.
Legend of the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms was an animation based on the Three Kingdoms theme. Not only could it attract the attention of children, it could also attract the attention of adults.
At this time, the adults in Fusang basically grew up watching anime. They did not look down on anime like the adults in Hua Xia. They felt that it was something that only children would watch. They would often sit together with their families and children to watch anime.
Therefore, the spread of "Legend of the Three Kingdoms" was not only limited to children, but also among adults and within the company. It was spreading at an unimaginable speed.

"Director, this is yesterday's ratings report, please take a look!!" On the morning of the 25th, when the director of Tokyo TV Station, Yamaguchi Ichihei, arrived at the company at 8 am, his subordinate, the director of the program department, excitedly handed him a report.
"Yamaguchi, calm down, don't be like a child. What's so exciting about the ratings report? Don't tell me our average ratings will drop below 1.2%! " Yamaguchi Ichihei said mockingly. Then he looked at yesterday's average ratings and said lightly, "2.3% average ratings, very normal …"
"Wait … 2.3% average ratings!!!" Yamaguchi Ichihei suddenly put the report in front of him. His eyes were almost glued to the report. After reading it a few times, he finally confirmed that the average ratings of Tokyo TV Station had actually reached 2.3%.
"How is this possible!" Yamaguchi Ichihei swallowed his saliva. You know, under normal circumstances, the average ratings of Tokyo TV Station fluctuated between 1.8% and 1.3%. Sometimes it even fell below 1.2%. That's why Yamaguchi Ichihei mocked himself just now, wondering if the ratings had fallen below 1.2%! "
But 2.3% ratings was definitely the peak of Tokyo TV Station recently. In the past three years, it should be almost five years, Tokyo TV Station had not been able to break 2% ratings, let alone 2.3% ratings!
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that our news program has found an explosive piece of hot news? " In Yamaguchi Ichihei's memory, only when a news program found an explosive hot topic could it instantly explode with such a high ratings! "
For example, five years ago, Tokyo TV Station was the first to get the first-hand news and broadcast the big news that Fusang's state-owned railway company would split into seven different railway companies. This big news attracted the attention of all Fusang in one fell swoop.
At that time, the special news received nearly 12% of the ratings in the Kanto region, directly raising the average ratings to about 2.7%. It became a huge breakthrough for Tokyo TV Station, the peak of the average ratings in 30 years!
But after that, Tokyo TV Station never had such a peak again.
So, Yamaguchi Ichihei habitually asked if it was a breakthrough for the news program, but this was denied.
"Is that our TV series? I remember that the recent TV series is … "
"No, it has nothing to do with the TV series. It's an animation, the animation 'Legend of the Three Kingdoms'!" The program director said excitedly.
"Animation?" Yamaguchi Ichihei was stunned. Yes, in the history of Fusang, there were some popular animations that pulled up the average ratings record, such as Dragon Ball, Doraemon, Sakurakimaru, and Ultraman's most popular years. But those animations were all expensive animations that Tokyo TV Station could not afford. What kind of animation was this' Legend of the Three Kingdoms'? How did it become popular?
Yamaguchi Ichihei quickly looked at the data of 'Legend of the Three Kingdoms' and found that on the 25th of July, the ratings of the second episode of 'Legend of the Three Kingdoms' reached an astonishing 12.2%.
This means that 12.2% of the entire Kanto region's population was watching 'Legend of the Three Kingdoms' at the same time. Only a 12.2% viewership rating could raise the 1.7% average viewership rating to 2.3%.
"Could it be that another national animation was born?" Seeing this data, Yamaguchi Ichihei could not help but think. If this is the case, then the day of Tokyo TV Station's comeback is coming.
One must know that in the past, the craziest of the few national animations had ratings above 40%. This means that 40% of the country's population was watching the same channel at the same time.
Back then, Fuji TV Station, because of the 42.1% rating of 'Sakurakimaru', earned an average of several billion in advertising fees. That's why it gradually rose from the trashiest private TV Station to the top three private TV Stations!
"But it's strange, this animation is so strong, why haven't I heard of it before?" Yamaguchi Ichihei had some doubts in his heart. He then looked up all the ratings of 'Legend of the Three Kingdoms'. In fact, it was only three days.
The first day was on the 22nd of July, and the ratings were only 0.37%. This made Yamaguchi Ichihei feel very sad.
Then on the second day, on the 23rd of July, just the first episode of 'Legend of the Three Kingdoms' was replayed, and the ratings soared to 4.3%.
On the third day, on the 24th of July, the first episode of 'Legend of the Three Kingdoms' was replayed after midnight. Please note that this time was after midnight, but the ratings instantly broke through 5% and reached 5.6%.
Three replays in a row, and each replay had higher ratings than the previous one. This was the first time Yamaguchi Ichihei had seen such a miraculous rating!
This was really f * cking amazing!!!
