The plot of the eighth episode of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" is slightly less depressing compared to the previous episodes.

Shen Buyan angered Lu Yuan because of the assassination of Li Yong, and then Shen Buyan put in a lot of effort to coax Lu Yuan before finally getting her to forgive him.

In short, Shen Buyan's mentality in this episode has undergone a tremendous change compared to before.

He admits that it is unrealistic for a weak modern person like himself to try to assassinate Li Yong.

But his purpose is only to save Lu Yuan. As long as he takes Lu Yuan away from the imperial capital, he can't control how Li Yong stirs up trouble in the Sheng Kingdom.

And Shen Buyan's plan went very smoothly.

Lu Yuan agreed to go with him to Nanmeng Lake, their former home, for a while.

And here, many foreshadowings are revealed.

For example, in the first episode, Shen Buyan met an old woman under an ancient tree and bought a piece of jade from her.

And that ancient tree is actually in Nanmeng Lake, but it hasn't grown this big yet.

The mysterious old woman in the first episode said that if you write your wishes on a wooden plaque and then hang the plaque on the tree to make a wish, your wish will eventually come true.

This is a tradition of the ancient Sheng Kingdom.

But Lu Yuan and her maid Yihua said that there is no such tradition in the Sheng Kingdom.

But Lu Yuan is obviously interested in this statement.

In fact, sensitive viewers can already perceive that the tradition of hanging plaques to make wishes in the Sheng Kingdom may be because Shen Buyan told Lu Yuan about it, and Lu Yuan promoted it after she became empress, and it was passed down to modern times.

Another closed loop.

As time went on, Lu Yuan, who was with Shen Buyan in Nanmeng Lake, became more and more preoccupied.

Shen Buyan finally knew what Lu Yuan was thinking.

She knows the Yuanqi Emperor, and the Yuanqi Emperor likes her, and Lu Yuan also knows that the Yuanqi Emperor's preparations to launch a war against Northern Lie as soon as he ascends the throne will bring disaster to the Sheng Kingdom.

The position of the entire eighth episode finally took a turn at the end.

【If I can change the Yuanqi Emperor's determination to launch a northern expedition and prevent the Sheng Kingdom from experiencing war, are you willing to build a hut with me in Nanmeng Lake and spend the rest of your life here?】 Shen Buyan asked.

【How can I easily agree to you?】

The seventh episode ended with a shot of Lu Yuan's bright eyes and smiling face.

The viewers who stayed up late were satisfied.

Isn't this a turning point?

Can't easily agree?

The implication is that if you can really get the Yuanqi Emperor to give up the northern expedition and give up fighting, then I, Lu Yuan, naturally won't be thinking about entering the palace or having too much interaction with that emperor.

The screenwriter has changed his temperament and didn't create any more虐心的plots in this episode?

"This time, the male lead Shen Buyan is smart!"

"Lu Yuan only wants to save the Sheng Kingdom, and Shen Buyan only wants to save Lu Yuan. For the first time, I hope that the female lead of a drama is in love. If Lu Yuan didn't have so much national sentiment, her fate would have been changed long ago."

"What are you talking about? If Lu Yuan is really just a love-struck person, would you still find this character charming?"

"A true heroine is definitely not someone who values ​​love more than everything else. She is willing to die for Shen Buyan, but she is willing to give up the opportunity to be with Shen Buyan for the rest of her life for the sake of the Sheng Kingdom."

"In fact, the previous episodes were either about people dying or various tragic fates, which made me feel shadowed when watching this drama. I'm still a little unaccustomed to watching the eighth episode today. Didn't anything happen?"

"The screenwriter obviously tortured in the first half and started giving out sweets in the second half! I was really moved to tears by the daily plot of Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan making wishes under the tree in Nanmeng Lake and grilling fish by the lake. Perhaps it is because of these beautiful memories that Lu Yuan was able to wait for Shen Buyan for a full fifteen years."

"It's really a rare good drama. It's a pity that the schedule is too bad, otherwise I estimate that "Gu Xiang Si Qu" would definitely be in the top three dramas in viewership this season."

"It's not bad now! Maybe in another week or two, the ratings will squeeze into the top ten."

In the eighth week of the autumn season, the eighth episode of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" ranked twelfth in the season with a viewership rating of 2.98%.

In the same week, Kiyota Sanji's "Night Sakura" ranked eleventh in the season with a viewership rating of 3.09%.

At this time, a bunch of people in the entire Xia Country TV industry were staring at "Gu Xiang Si Qu".

Although the growth rate of viewership has slowed down in the past two weeks, compared with most dramas this season, this performance is already several streets ahead of those works.

For example, "Night Sakura" had this viewership rating when it started broadcasting, and it still has this viewership rating in the eighth episode.

The fluctuations are no more than 0.05%, which is so stable that it makes people want to sleep.

However, this week, the eighth episode of "The Lone Doctor" became the second drama in the autumn season to break 4% in viewership after "The Painting".

With a viewership rating of 4.03%, it ranked second in viewership.

At this time, the three A-level dramas of the three major TV stations, only "The Gilded One" of Sakura TV has not broken 4% in viewership, and the entire crew is now a little uncomfortable.

Although the two competitors have results that are not much better than it, one is 4.11% and the other is 4.03%, but at least the viewership rating has broken 4%.

And "The Gilded One" has an investment of nearly 40 million, and the viewership rating of the eighth episode is only 3.96%.

And at this time, the viewership rating of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" is almost about to break 3%.

It is even more embarrassing for the crew members of the three Sakura TV investment dramas, "Night Sakura", "Under the Azure Sky", and "The Gilded One".

If the results are not as expected, you can use the excuse that the autumn season market is not good and the results of all TV station dramas are average.

But if you find that there is a work like "Gu Xiang Si Qu" in your camp that can break out from the late-night slot, can you still say that the market is not good?

Especially Kiyota Sanji, he hasn't slept well these days.

Although there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, he actually knows very well in his heart.

It is only a matter of time before the viewership rating of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" exceeds "Night Sakura".

The dream of killing into the top ten in viewership this season with the viewership rating of "Night Sakura", and then being valued by the TV station from now on, and then being crowned with the title of genius new screenwriter and winning the Best New Screenwriter Award of the year is on the verge of shattering.

On Sunday night, Kiyota Sanji left the crew and looked at his haggard face in the mirror after returning home.

There is an aura of a loser.

After midnight, the ninth episode of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" will be broadcast.

He has always been very proud, so what if he has no talent?

Isn't having connections and relationships more important than talent?

But now... Su Yan's rise slapped him hard in the face.

He completely can't understand, can't figure out, why "Gu Xiang Si Qu" can break out in that kind of late-night slot?

And the most uncomfortable thing is that the filming funds for "Gu Xiang Si Qu" were cut from the original budget of his "Night Sakura".

If there was no "Gu Xiang Si Qu", and "Night Sakura" had an additional investment of more than 10 million, invited more famous stars, and a more qualified director, the viewership ratings of these dramas this season would be so low, and it would be very promising to kill into the top five in viewership this season.

Now, if the viewership rating of "Night Sakura" is really surpassed by "Gu Xiang Si Qu"...

Then Kiyota Sanji will become a laughing stock of the TV station for a long time.

There's nothing funny about being a connected person.

Everyone wants to be a connected person.

But a connected person is being rubbed on the ground like this by others under the condition that all the right time, right place, and right people are occupied...

This is simply the script of the King of Clowns.

Thinking of this scene, Kiyota Sanji, who loves face, is almost red-hot.

Kiyota Sanji couldn't sleep all night, came to the living room and turned on the TV.

He knows very well that there is only one possibility to avoid becoming a laughing stock of the TV station.

The plot of the ninth episode of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" broadcast by Sakura TV tonight will directly collapse, and there will be a plot that can cause the drama's reputation to plummet.

A plot even more exaggerated than the last two episodes of "Qing Feng".

As time passed, after midnight, the Sakura TV screen paused, and the ninth episode of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" began broadcasting.

Kiyota Sanji's expression became extremely nervous.

There is only one thought in his mind.

"Gu Xiang Si Qu", flop for me!
