Chapter 192 - Nostalgia



The Xiang Yi from last year had left too many bad impressions on the public. People had already formed a lasting impression of her.

The name Xiang Yi has long been equated with the words vase, crybaby, poser, poor business ability, etc.

In the last few days, Xiang Yi had indeed gained some fans from “Two Under One Roof” and the Tomato Entertainment red carpet, but in the face of conclusive evidence, even her fans were powerless.

Not to mention the haters who entered the stream afterwards with their vile profanities.

At the same time.

“Delicious Three Meals” barely managed to air on time after the temporary shift in management.

At Muyao TV’s HQ, the senior managers and directors gathered.

“Heartbeat” had started off high but continued to drop. Even if the guests themselves brought their own traffic, it was still difficult to overcome the decline in viewers. After all, the rate of new viewers was becoming lower and lower.

So now, Muyao TV has put all their eggs in one basket, which was “Delicious Three Meals”.

“Hello everyone, I am Zhuo Yi.” Zhuo Yi was over forty-years old, though his tight and muscular figure showed no signs of weight gain; it was evident he exercised regularly. He had wheat-colored skin and handsome features, and his smile could immediately draw people into the most glorious era of martial arts film.

“Hello, I’m Jiang Yun’er~” said the woman leaning close next to him. She was his wife and had a very unique and clear voice that sounded refreshing and full of stories. Instantly, people were reminded of her hottest pop hits back in the day.

Zhuo Yi raised a hand and brushed the leaves from her hair. The couple’s gaze met, Zhuo Yi smiling genuinely while Jiang Yun’er bent her eyebrows in response.

The live comments livened up immediately:

——[Ahhh these two were my childhood!]

——[The couple had maintained their physical appearances very well! They’re really not exaggerating when they say celebrities look ten or twenty years younger than people of the same age]

——[Who would have imagined that the iron-blooded tough man would become a derpy hunk~ Goddess Jiang is even more beautiful than before, obviously a woman kept young by the power of love!]

The nostalgia tactic worked.

Seeing the four million viewers in the top right corner, the executives were ecstatic.

It was only nine in the morning! It wasn’t even the time of day when online traffic was at its peak!

They’ve done it!

They’ve bet correctly this time!!

Someone suddenly asked: “What about ‘Two Under One Roof’?”

The two programs were similar in content, and both streamed on both days of the weekend. Naturally, they would be the subject of comparison.

The staff immediately called to see the statistics of “Two Under One Roof” and suddenly fell into a dead silence.

It was also airing at nine o’clock in the morning, but the number of views for “Two Under One Roof” had exceeded six million!

It was even higher than the number of viewers at peak hour yesterday!

It almost matched the numbers from the day of the premiere.

Generally, the popularity of variety shows only spiked at the beginning and would gradually decline. This was evidently reflected in “Heartbeat”.

But “Two Under One Roof” was defying logic?!

The views were getting higher!

“We’ve performed some analysis on ‘Two Under One Roof’…” The marketing manager with rich experience spoke, brief and to the point. “First, last night’s gossip brought great popularity to the show; second, the injury incident that broke out today made angry netizens naturally curious about the show. Lastly, now that both the perpetrator and the victim are in the same environment, it has stimulated a sense of curiosity in the viewers to anticipate upcoming episodes. This seems to be much more effective than a carefully written script in making people look forward to future updates!”

“Everyone can interpret it as a TV drama that has reached the climax of the plot but was suddenly paused. Who wouldn’t want to finish watching it?”
