After hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An also understood the urgency.
He frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, “What happened?”
Gu Xiao rubbed her temples helplessly. Then, she relaxed and leaned against the back of the chair.
“Apple TV suddenly went back on their word, which caught us off guard.”
Cherry TV, which had a good relationship with them, already had plans. Moreover, in this industry, a film company could not cooperate with only one satellite channel forever. Hence, Star Brilliance chose to work with Apple TV this time.
They had already discussed their collaboration with Apple TV. This “Peony Fall” starring Mi Rui would be broadcast by Apple TV during the winter break.
But now, Huang Tu had prepared a package of an ancient era idol drama and modern idol drama for Apple TV at a very low price.
And Huang Tu had raised a condition for Apple TV. These two dramas had to be broadcasted consecutively, completely occupying the entire winter break period of more than a month’s time.
Although Huang Tu didn’t say that they were targeting Star Brilliance and Peony Fall, there was only one meaning in their words, and that was that during the winter break, they wouldn’t leave a day for Star Brilliance’s Peony Fall to be broadcasted.
This method was more or less ruthless.
After all, everyone knew that only during the winter and summer holidays, when students were on vacation, was the critical period for television dramas to have a burst of viewership.
Other than the high traffic and popularity during the winter and summer holidays, when the winter and summer holidays ended, the students would definitely talk about the television dramas they watched during the holidays when they returned to school.
This also brought long-term attention to the television drama.
This was a good opportunity for the television drama, the main lead, and the production team.
Now, Huang Tu wanted to occupy the entire winter break. Their goal was very obvious. They wanted to prevent the viewership of “Peony Fall” from exploding.
Tian Xian naturally could not watch this happen and personally negotiated with Apple TV. However, in front of the television station, the producer was often the passive party. They were in a weak position and did not have much say.
They could only follow the television station’s instructions.
Seeing that the matter could not be resolved, Tian Xian hurriedly called Gu Xiao to see if there were any other solutions.
However, before Gu Xiao could rush to the company, the news of Apple TV changing television dramas during the winter break also spread online.
Previously, after Apple TV and Star Brilliance confirmed their collaboration, they had started promoting it. After the present drama was fully aired, they would play “Peony Fall” starring Mi Rui.
But now, just when it was about to start broadcasting, it was suddenly changed to other television dramas. Not to mention that Star Brilliance was unwilling to accept it, even the audience could not accept it.
After all, ever since the promotion of “Peony Fall”, the audience had already begun to look forward to it.
[What is Apple TV doing? Changing the show before the broadcast? Is this for real?]
[I’ve seen people change the show for various reasons. This is the first time I’ve seen a show being changed for no reason. Not a single explanation has been provided for the change of show. This is the first time I’ve seen something like this happen.]
[Although 1 admit that the popularity of Huang Tu’s two dramas is not bad, and the content of the promotional photos seems to be good, isn’t it not good to have this kind of drama that has already been decided forcefully replaced? Isn’t this Huang Tu taking advantage of their seniority in the industry and the popularity of the two dramas to snatch other people’s schedules?]
[To be honest, 1 have a better impression of Star Brilliance now than Huang Tu. Did the person who made this decision on Apple TV really bring his brain to work? Who doesn’t want to work with Star Brilliance now! This is the first time I’ve seen a television station push Star Brilliance out!]
[Huang Tu, get lost! I’ve been looking forward to “Peony Fall” for a long time. Mi Rui’s appearance inside is really good! And now, you’re telling me now that you want to change the show? Apple TV, are you serious?!]

[If Apple TV can’t give an explanation for this matter, don’t blame me for scolding you!]
In the face of the condemnation of many netizens on the Internet, Apple TV acted as if they had not seen anything and had not discovered anything. They simply played dead and did not speak.
The people from Apple TV also knew that they had been wrong to do things like this, and it was very easy to incur public anger. For the sake of their reputation, they could only remain silent now.
However, this was all the higher-ups’ idea! They, the small fries, could not decide on such a big matter.
The employees of Apple TV’s Public Relations Department looked at the comments online and cried internally..
