At that time, Friday (with the Stars) was not affected much because the audience was watching Friday (with the Stars) first. They had already reached the end, and there was only a short segment left. Naturally, they wanted to finish watching it.
Moreover, many people did not think that Lu Man's episode would be good. They even went to watch The Performer first.
Classic X
At that time, "Archives" had flipped open the "mystery guest" board. After word of mouth spread online, it suddenly snatched away the audience of "The Performer."
Another thing was that Friday (with the Stars) was originally supposed to be broadcast at 9 PM, but to make way for The Performer, the TV station had pushed Friday (with the Stars)'s broadcast time forward.
It could be seen that the TV station had high hopes for The Performer back then.
After that, The Performer stopped broadcasting and changed.
And Friday's primetime slot was actually at 9 PM and not 8 PM, because the weekend was right after Friday.
After five days of work, everyone was tired. They all wanted to come out and relax on Friday night. No one wanted to go home so early.
8 PM was the time to play, eat with friends, watch movies, go to the bar, etc.
Hence, at 8 PM, there were not many youngsters who would go home to watch TV.
Because of that, the production team of Friday (with the Stars) was especially unhappy and had an argument with the production team of The Performer.
They complained a lot behind their backs.
The Performer flopped and even stopped broadcasting. Other than Lu Man, the production team of Friday (with the Stars) was probably the happiest.
Now that The Performer was no longer broadcasting, the primetime slot at the back could not be left empty.
Hence, they moved Friday (with the Stars) back to its original time slot.
But because Friday (with the Stars) was considered an evergreen program on XingKe Television, its viewership ratings had always been very stable. Hence, even if it went up against Classic X Files, it did not lose out much.
"That's not surprising. XingKe Television is used to being domineering. After I suddenly did that, they felt embarrassed and would definitely want to get back at me," Lu Man said.
Lu Dongliu was not worried this time. Not only did they have Lu Man, but they also had Wang Juhuai, this ultimate killer weapon!
He said confidently, "Ha, this time, no matter how much XingKe Television tries, it's useless. Previously, The Performer flopped. This time, let's make their evergreen program flop too! With Mr. Wang, we have nothing to fear! "
Lu Man: "…"
Director Lu, you're really confident!
"Alright, I'm just giving you a heads up about this. The broadcast date and time of Friday (with the Stars) just so happens to clash with the finale episode of Classic X Files. You should be mentally prepared, "Lu Dongliu explained.
"I understand." Lu Man nodded.

On XingKe Television's side, Ge Guangzhen heard that Chief Hu had personally ordered Deputy Chief Wang to personally invite Liang Chengbing to participate in the performance of "Friday with the Stars".
It just so happened that Liang Chengbing still remembered the grudge between Lu Dongliu and Lu Man. When he heard that it would be a competition against Classic X Files, he readily agreed.
Ge Guangzhen knew that the station head was still angry.
Last time, they had lost to Lu Man, and they had lost so badly that XingKe Television had lost a lot of face.
The Performer, which XingKe Television fully supported, was a flop. How could XingKe Television look good on the surface?
Chief Hu was furious. Not only did he scold Ge Guangzhen, he also remembered Lu Man.
Ge Guangzhen had indeed told Chief Hu not to provoke Lu Man.
