Chapter 419: Resolution
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Ding Wen hung up the phone, he immediately called Bai Kai.
After hearing Ding Wen’s request, Bai Kai was naturally unwilling. It was completely impossible for him to give up his schedule for Star Brilliance!
However, in the face of Bai Kai’s rebuttal, Ding Wen said firmly, “If Huang Tu is unwilling to cooperate with the television station’s arrangements, then Apple TV will not cooperate with Huang Tu in the future.”
When Bai Kai heard Ding Wen’s threatening words, he was instantly infuriated.
“We’ve already signed a contract. What is it? Is Station director Ding planning to breach the contract?” Bai Kai lowered his voice, but one could still hear the dissatisfaction and anger in his voice.
Ding Wen’s tone was calm. “It can’t be considered a breach of contract. Meeting Love Around the Corner will still be broadcasted normally, but at a different time.”
Bai Kai naturally could not agree to such a thing. No matter what Ding Wen said, he was unwilling to give in.
Seeing that it was impossible for Bai Kai to agree to this condition, Ding Wen did not continue to beat around the bush with Bai Kai. He sneered and said directly, “For Meeting Love Around the Corner, what’s the difference between a prime-time slot and a 10pm slot? Isn’t it still just a o.i viewership rating?”
Bai Kai was indignant after being rebuked by Ding Wen, but he knew that Ding Wen was right. The viewership ratings of Meeting Love Around the Corner were really too poor.
Even within Huang Tu, they did not have much hope for Meeting Love Around the Corner.
Seeing that Bai Kai was silent, Ding Wen continued, “Let me say this. The change of timeslot for Meeting Love Around the Corner is a unanimous decision of our television station. If CEO Bai feels that our television station has breached the contract, you can sue us directly. We are willing to pay the penalty.”
With that, Ding Wen hung up without waiting for Bai Kai’s reaction.
That afternoon, Apple TV’s official Weibo account issued a notice: The schedule of Peony Fall has been adjusted from 10pm every night to prime time. At 20:00 tonight, Peony Fall invites you to enjoy it together.
As soon as the news of Apple TV was sent out, it immediately attracted a lot of fans.
[Hahahaha! It feels so good to see this news! In the beginning, it was suppressed and couldn’t even be broadcasted. Later on, the viewership ratings were strong and snatched the limelight. Now, it is actually switched from 10pm to prime time! What kind of cool plot is this! It’s too awesome!]
[Huang Tu, that capitalist, is finally suppressed! Hahaha, I’m so happy. I even want to go downstairs and run laps in joy!]
[Star Brilliance is awesome! Peony Fall is awesome!]
[Apple TV has good taste. They know they should switch Peony Fall from 10pm to prime-time. They know their mistakes and can change!]
After Gu Xiao saw the news about the change of time slot for Peony Fall online, she took the initiative to contact Ding Wen and sold the copyright of the modern romance drama that they had agreed on previously.
However, the price this time was much higher than Peony Fall had been previously.
On the first day of Peony Fall’s adjusted time slot, the viewership ratings of Peony Fall rose again. It broke 2 at the beginning of the first episode, and even reached 2.8 at the peak of the second episode.
Apple TV had not seen such a high viewership rating for several years in a row.
When the viewership ratings were released, the staff of Apple TV rushed to spread the news. They were so happy that they did not know what to say.
Apple TV was very happy with this result. Gu Xiao was also quite satisfied with this result. The others from Star Brilliance were even more happy with this result. Even the advertisers were smiling until their teeth were visible when they found out about this viewership rating.
The only ones who were unhappy were probably Huang Tu and Bai Kai.
The higher-ups of Huang Tu had originally suspected that Peony Fall’s viewership ratings were bought, and was not completely real.
However, after investigating, they realized that such a high viewership rating was actually real.
When Bai Kai heard the news, he had mixed feelings. He scolded his subordinates and the producer of Meeting Love Around the Corner.
Gu Xiao was not interested in what was happening in Huang Tu. Instead, there was something else that attracted Gu Xiao’s attention.
This time, Tian Xian couldn’t resolve the news of the Peony Fall in time. It wasn’t that Tian Xian wasn’t capable, but that his current status wasn’t as high as when he was in Huang Tu.
As a result, many people on Apple TV were unwilling to give Tian Xian face and ignore him.
This time, Gu Xiao wanted to resolve this matter completely..
