After finishing the phone call with Chen, while Luo Xun was taking a sip of water, someone called again. This time it was the contact person from the investors of "Pink Girl". He called to tell Luo Xun some news:

The new drama "Pink Lady" has been officially announced.

The broadcast date is the prime time on May 5th, from 8 to 10 p.m., and the broadcast platform has been changed from the initially proposed Magic City TV series channel to Suzhou Satellite TV. There must have been a transaction, but this is different from Luo Xun. It doesn't matter, as long as he knows the result.

"May 5th?"

Got this new news.

Kong Shuang murmured: "It's really the same period. "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" is scheduled to be broadcast on May 2nd, which is the day after tomorrow. The time is more advantageous than us, because May 1st is Labor Day and the students will have a holiday. For a few days, the broadcast platform is also Anhui TV, which has quite good ratings in local Taichung..."

Luo Xun nodded.

In the current ratings and influence rankings of local stations, Hunan Satellite TV leads the way, followed closely by local stations such as Dragon TV, Anhui Satellite TV, and Zhejiang TV, and then it is Suzhou Satellite TV's turn.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

When a TV station airs a new drama, it has to consider the issue of succession. Suzhou Satellite TV has to finish the previous drama before arranging for "Pink Girl" to be broadcast next. Therefore, "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" has taken the lead. Fortunately, the two The dramas are of different genres, and the overlapping target audience should not be particularly large...

The next few days.

The media calmed down a bit and did not continue to compare the two dramas. This is related to the upcoming broadcast of "Emperor of the Han Dynasty". Some people in the industry and the audience affected by news and publicity are eagerly looking forward to it.

May 2nd.

"The Emperor" starring Huang Xiaoming was finally aired. Luo Xun happened to have nothing to do, so he turned on the TV and watched the premiere. He found that this drama was not much different from what he remembered, except that Xiao Ming's acting skills seemed to have improved to a higher level, which was not the case. He is worthy of being the leader of the high-end version of the parallel world.

The result was similar to what Luo Xun expected.

This drama caught the audience's appetite, and the first broadcast achieved good results of breaking three ratings. Huang Xiaoming became famous overnight, and his news could be seen everywhere in the newspapers the next day——

"Xingyi's newcomer made his debut successfully!"

"The old leads the new to gain fame, and Chen Daoming is paired with Chen Daoming. Xingyi spent huge sums of money to create a tailor-made new drama "Emperor of the Han Dynasty". Why can the young trainee Huang Xiaoming make his debut with a halo?"

"Huang Xiaoming: Your debut is your peak!"

"Anhui Satellite TV's prime-time TV series "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" premiered with ratings exceeding three, and Xingyi trainee Huang Xiaoming has secured the 2001 Rookie of the Year title in advance!"

"..."

As the media said.

Huang Xiaoming is a typical case of peaking at his debut. You must know that strictly speaking, he is only a rookie in his first year. He has achieved such results for the first time when he takes the lead. What is he if he is not at the peak?

all in all.

"The Emperor", which Xingyi spent a lot of money to create, is finally a hit. Judging from the premiere, it will definitely fetch a good price in the following rounds of broadcasts. This has also cast a shadow over the yet-to-be-aired "Pink Lady" layer shadow.

The two dramas are going to compete.

Now "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" can be regarded as the first to successfully attack, and it does so in a very relaxed manner. This has caused people who originally had a lot of confidence in "Pink Lady" to start to waver.

…

A certain photo studio.

Chen Kun, who had just finished shooting a set of commercials, was sitting in the lounge drinking water leisurely, while the agent beside him angrily took photos of a stack of newspapers, his face a bit ugly.

"Drink some water."

Chen Kun laughed and said: "You are so angry."

The manager said rudely: "I didn't agree with you to take the male lead in "Pink Lady" at first, but you didn't listen. Now you're riding a tiger. If it's just a friendly guest appearance, even if you lose in ratings, who can say anything? Four?"

Chen Kun said: "My play hasn't been broadcast yet."

The manager shook his head and calmed down a little: "It's because "Pink Girl" hasn't aired yet, so you haven't been surrounded by reporters. When this drama airs, if the ratings are not as good as "The Emperor", you know those things Will the media say anything—"

"Chen Kun's new drama is not as good as the newcomers?"

"The popular young student was beheaded by Huang Xiaoming?"

Chen Kun laughed at himself: "It seems that I also have the potential to be a reporter and write news. With these two headlines and topics, there are also controversies. It will definitely sell well."

"So you still know..."

The manager said helplessly: "According to Xingyi's behavior, Huang Xiaoming will probably step on you to get the position this time. This may be a blow to your acting career. It is really courageous to say that Xingyi dares to stand up to a newcomer. Investing so many resources into it was a huge gamble, and it paid off.”

"First of all, it's a long road."

Chen Kun let go: "Secondly, "Pink Girl" has not been aired yet, and the ending is not yet known. Furthermore, we as actors must look forward. That drama has little to do with me the moment it is finished. There is no way to fix it, and there is no way to start over, so it’s better to think about the next drama.”

"It's very clear."

The agent shook his head: "But you are the leading male lead in "Pink Lady" and are responsible for taking the lead. After the failure of this show, public opinion will only place the responsibility on you first. I am not optimistic about this show anyway, and I also advised you at the beginning. For the sake of the investors, I did not allow you to be the male lead directly.”

Chen Kun was silent.

Looking at Huang Xiaoming's headline feature in the newspaper, how could he not know that if "Pink Girl" fails, he will become a backdrop for newcomers?

No matter how calm he is.

He still feels uncomfortable.

But as one of the popular young actors in the entertainment industry, he and Lu Yi are like targets. Sooner or later, they will encounter such a situation and become the background of others. It's just that the other party is a newcomer this time, so the agent's reaction is relatively large.

After all...

It is indeed a shame that his new drama as a popular young actor is in the same time slot as Huang Xiaoming, a newcomer, and the ratings are still lower than Huang Xiaoming. However, the ratings of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" are indeed very high. Chen Kun knows in his heart that his chances of winning are actually very small!

If he can.

He doesn't want to lose either!

To be precise, "Pink Girl" will rise and fall together. None of the main creators of this drama want to lose this competition.

Including Luo Xun.

However, compared with other people involved in this drama, even Chen Kun, the male lead, Luo Xun is undoubtedly more confident in his heart--

That's it.

May 5th is here.

After "The Emperor of Han Dynasty", "Sex and the City" was finally broadcast, and the regular viewers of Jiangsu Satellite TV turned on the TV at home on time.

Is the former the only one that stands out?

Chen Kun is facing a popular newcomer.

Halfway through the second year, Luo Xun is facing the rookie wall!
