Gu Xiao glanced at the name on the phone screen and raised her hand to stop Chu An from continuing. Chu An nodded and stopped talking.

Gu Xiao took the phone, picked up the call, and put it on speaker. When Chu An saw this, he also came over and stayed close to Gu Xiao’s side.

“Station Director Lei, what’s the matter?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Station Director Lei’s voice came from the phone. “Something happened! Huang Tu sent a message today. They said that as long as I’m willing to terminate the contract with you, they would be willing to give two television dramas adapted from popular IP to Cherry TV.fi.IP is a frequently used internet expression in China, it is the abbreviation of Intellectual Property. Depending on the context, it could be a storyline, a figure, or a certain kind of popular culture. Most of the time, it refers to those film literature/animation/games that are suitable for commercial adaptation.]”

When Gu Xiao heard this, she looked up at Chu An, who was beside her, and then looked at her phone.

“Then the reason why Station Director has called is…”

“Hahaha, Young President Gu, don’t worry. I’m not an insensible person. I’m already lucky enough to be able to buy such a good television drama like ‘The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty’ from you. Naturally, I won’t give up such a good opportunity. I’m calling you this time not for anything else. I just want you to pay more attention. It’s best if you can resolve it. Otherwise, it will probably be even more troublesome in the future.”

Gu Xiao nodded and thanked the station director. They chatted for a while more before hanging up.

She set the phone aside. “What do you think?”

Chu An’s expression was calm, and he didn’t feel anxious because of Station Director Lei’s words.

“Don’t worry. As long as this Cherry TV gets a good result, we won’t have to worry about our television dramas not selling.”

In the end, the viewership ratings were more important. As long as their television dramas could bring in the viewership ratings, these television stations would naturally want to cooperate with them.

Moreover, even if Ji Gao had some power in his hands, he was not involved in the entertainment industry after all. He could not extend his reach too far. Otherwise, he would not have collaborated with Huang Tu in the first place.

Gu Xiao nodded in agreement. “Moreover, our variety shows have set off a good start. Even if we do a variety show in the future, there will be many viewers who will buy it.”

Not only that, many celebrities and some companies were contacting their company in private after seeing the results of “The Vanished Beauty” and “The Secret of Love”, hoping that they could choose to work with them in the next variety show.

Previously, they wanted to invite big-name celebrities but did not even get a reply. Now, others were begging them to be invited to the company’s variety show.

Even if their television dramas could not break out of this barricade for the time being, with the variety shows around, they were enough to temporarily support their company’s operations.

However… she was still very confident in The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty.

Gu Xiao and Chu An settled down and did what they had to do slowly and steadily. They didn’t care how angry Ji Gao was after learning that Cherry TV had rejected them.

Under the anticipation of many netizens, “The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty” was broadcasted on Cherry TV.

The viewership ratings for the first day were not high. It was only 0.25. Most of it was contributed by fans and the original audience of Cherry TV.

However, on the third day, The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty’s viewership ratings gradually increased. At the end of the sixth episode, the viewer ship ratings even reached 0.61.

When Station Director Lei saw this viewership rating, he was excited. He knew that Cherry TVs turning point had finally arrived. He knew that he had made the right choice!

[Ahhh! Let’s all watch The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty! I strongly recommend it!]

[This is the first time I’ve seen such an exquisite costume drama. Moreover, there are no loopholes in the logic and there’s nothing exposing. It’s really a well-made drama! I’m looking forward to the subsequent twist in the plot!] [Originally, I only went because of Sister Lu Mo, because I really liked Sister Lu Mo from her performance in ‘The Vanished Beauty’. However, I’m stunned by ‘The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty’ now! I’ve finally found another television drama where everyone’s acting skills are acceptable. There’s no longer that kind of plot where they only glare woodenly and roar without emotion! I like it very much!]

More and more viewers spontaneously recommended “The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty” to their relatives and friends around them. On the Internet, “The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty” was also given a high rating of 9.1.

Finally, when “The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty” reached the eighth episode, the viewership ratings reached 3.4! Without any of the viewership ratings being faked, “The Prosperity of Great Tang Dynasty” could be said to be thetelevision drama of the same period that had achieved the highest viewership rating!
