The publicity team at Guangying Media continued monitoring the data and they focused on monitoring the real-time ratings for the drama.
After looking at the ratings for the first two episodes of <Nameless Orphan>, Shen Yichen called Jiang Yuning immediately before congratulating her for gaining her victory in her first battle.
No matter how amazing or beautiful the drama was, it was simply not eye catching enough to be compared to the other youth idol dramas. However, since it was a historical drama, it was already a huge achievement to be able to achieve this kind of results.
Jiang Yuning had also been following the online trends ever since the broadcast of the first episode.
After observing everyone’s reaction, Jiang Yuning roughly knew what the result was and she knew that everything was under control. Therefore, Jiang Yuning was very calm and composed when she received the phone call from Shen Yichen.
“After everything that has happened, I have to say that your combat experience is pretty amazing. I guess there is really nothing else that would surprise you anymore, right?”
“This is not I was hoping for, Director Shen. What I hoped for was for the audience to trust in any drama or movies that I am in when they see my name in future. I was not compelled to use this matter just because I want this drama to be a success. I want people not to feel disgusted when they see my name in future. Therefore, I feel as though this was a complete failure,” Jiang Yuning replied in a serious manner as she spoke to Shen Yichen over the phone.
“Take it slow,” Shen Yichen replied as he smiled.
“I am fine. Do you think we can keep this rating up? The audience have yet to see the follow-up plot. Therefore, I think that the real test is yet to come. No matter what method we use to attract the audience to start watching the drama, the only way we can keep them watching until the end is if there was a full and excellent plot and acting performance.”
The conversation between Shen Yichen and Jiang Yuning did not last long but Jiang Yuning said a lot throughout the entire conversation.
Shen Yichen could feel how ambitious Jiang Yuning was and he seriously hoped that Jiang Yuning would be able to rise up in her career. He knew that Vera and the Ginger Candies would be feeling the same way as he was.
When he saw Jiang Yuning putting down her phone, Lu Jingzhi patted the empty spot on the bed next to him before he said, “Come, it’s time to sleep.”
Jiang Yuning climbed into bed and laid down obediently beside Lu Jingzhi before she said, “Second Brother, I saw you secretly watching <Nameless Orphan> just now.”
“I was not watching it secretly. I was just watching it,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he turned off the lights.
“Then…”
“The person in the drama is not the Jiang Yuning that I first knew in the beginning. What I meant to say is…you are not the same actress as you were at the start of your acting career. I did not watch the dram because I wanted to find out about Li Zhimong’s history, nor did I want to find out whether she really had a son or not. The only reason why I watched the drama is just because I want to see if Jiang Yuning’s acting skills were as bad as people made it out to be.”
Jiang Yuning could not help but laughed out loud as she pinched Lu Jingzhi’s nose gently. “Are you also one of the haters?”
“I love you…to the depths of my heart.”
…
After a long night, the people on the forum were still talking about the drama.
They were initially so focused on writing negative and hate comments about Jiang Yuning but somehow, they turned out to become Jiang Yuning’s stepping stone instead. After all, they were the ones who started posting screenshots of the drama in the first place.
[Hahaha. I really want to laugh very badly now. I heard that the haters were trying really hard to pull Jiang Yuning down today but did you see what happened? It feels as though Jiang Yuning managed to overcome all of the criticisms and insults today.]
[Please do not laugh too much! Even though I am also as happy as you, I really did not expect the passers-by to defeat the haters just like that. The haters can try as hard as they want but Jiang Yuning is really too awesome!]
[How could this be? What went wrong? I was a hater when I first stumbled upon Jiang Yuning but after the past few days, the more I watched Jiang Yuning’s acting and performance, the more I feel that I was completely wrong!]
[Jiang Yuning seemed very patient and tolerant, but who would have expected her to be fighting back in the background?]
[I really did not expect her to be thinking of ways to use us to turn things around when we were all busy discussing how we were going to criticize and humiliate her. Damn it. We lost to her again!]
[To think that we actually thought that she had already given up a few days ago! After all, it was natural for the ratings of a historical drama to be lower than any other dramas. Am I really the only one who could not turn my head away after watching the first episode of the drama?]
[If any other celebrities or artistes are facing any trouble in future, please do not hesitate to contact Jiang Yuning without any hesitations or delays at all. I have not seen or encountered anyone who is better at managing public relations compared to Jiang Yuning. If I am an artiste, I will definitely contact Jiang Yuning to ask her to deal with my public relations issues for me.]
The forum was very lively throughout the day and everyone came out to express their opinions on Jiang Yuning and the drama, one after the other.
I have never seen an artiste like Jiang Yuning.
Can you leave a way out for the haters?
The haters were subsequently forced into a dead end and it seemed as though the passers-by and Jiang Yuning’s supporters were already flooding the forum at this time.
The haters were losing their base!
Good grievance.
Because of the haters, the audience could natural understand the plot and storyline better because most of them researched Li Zhimong’s history and background before they started watching the drama. Therefore, they could understand and get immersed in the storyline more easily as their memory had already been strengthened.
Many people in the entertainment industry also paid attention to the melee tonight.
The haters could not help but shook their heads as they thought to themselves, “Damn it! Why didn’t I realize this sooner?”
This was because no one would expected anyone to use this kind of low method for publicity. Unexpectedly, when Jiang Yuning employed this method, it turned out to be so efficient.
Seriously?
This was too subtle!
Everyone in the entertainment industry could not help but feel lots of admiration for Jiang Yuning because she was so calm and courageous despite all the criticisms.
Everyone could already expect that the ratings for the drama would be incredibly high.
This was because there were no shortages of discussion and popularity about the drama.
Moreover, many people were also watching the drama because of word by mouth advertising.
The ratings for <Nameless Orphan> was 8.0 the next morning.
This was really a slap across the face to the haters.
Everyone was watching this and after the fierce battle on the first few days, everyone could not help but wonder if it would always be so lively in future. Otherwise, how else would they be able to maintain the heat and the high rating for the drama?
To their disappointment, nothing interesting was happening the next day.
It seemed as though everything was already in place.
Everyone was waiting for Jiang Yuning to have more tricks up her sleeves.
Therefore, they turned on their television to watch the third and fourth episodes of the drama out of fear that they would be missing out on something important if they skipped even a little part of the drama.
Of course, no one could deny that the rigor and fullness of the storyline for <Nameless Orphan> had really exceeded their expectations. If they could reap tears of joy from watching television, why shouldn’t they do so?
With this mentality, the ratings for <Nameless Orphan> was still very stable the next day and there were even signs that the rating would continue to rise.
Gradually, those people who started to watch the drama out of excitement and curiosity began to continue watching the drama because they were now attracted by the storyline and their mentality had totally changed.
