Chapter 332 Horror Ratings
It was less than four o'clock in the morning, and when the night was still shrouded in the land of China, alarm clocks rang one after another in different cities and rooms across the country.
Fortunately, this is already on the verge of Spring Festival, and the students have already gone home on holiday, otherwise the alarm clock that is set so early in the dormitory would definitely be beaten to death by their roommates.
When they yawned and stared at the computer screen with sleepy eyes, film and television works from the other end of the earth were presented to them through the Internet.
Wei Wei played with his phone last night until the early morning, and now he was woken up by the alarm clock after less than four o'clock. He rubbed his eyes and then turned up from the bed.
"This is the rhythm of cultivating immortals!"
The winter in the south made Wei Wei not want to leave the bed at all. He would die by himself and even cry.
Fortunately, Wei Wei had an alternative plan, so he picked up the iPad placed at the bedside, found the URL he had collected before, and then successfully found the BBC viewing link.
BBC is still playing news at this moment, and the news anchor speaks very quickly. Wei Wei can only listen to a rough one after putting on his headphones.
As a college student who is determined to study abroad, Wei Wei not only passed the 46th high score, but also scored high scores in the TOEFL test, so listening is not particularly difficult for him. In addition, he has enough knowledge of Zhang Chu's previous work "Sherlock", so he is confident that he will not watch cooked meat and get up in the middle of the night to watch the live broadcast.
In fact, Wei Wei did not know much about Sherlock Holmes. Before reading Zhang Chu's book, he only knew that he was a legendary detective. As for what he looked like and what case he had solved, he didn't know.
So this time when watching a TV series, anything is a brand new experience for him, and it seems that this is what it should have been!
Everything is quiet, and the Internet is quiet, and most people are sleeping, while a few young people like Wei Wei are busy watching TV and have no time to comment.
Compared to Wei Wei huddling in bed watching videos, Cui Xuanxuan is much happier. As a northerner, she has heating at home. Now she is wearing thick coral velvet pajamas and is sitting in front of the computer eating popsicles. Life is so comfortable!
Cui Xuanxuan is different from the rest of the people. The motivation to support her to get up in the middle of the night is just to see the Fuhua CP. She does not have much requirements for the details of the case, but just simply likes the two protagonists in "Detective Sherlock".
It is normal to chase stars these days, and it is reasonable to be cute CP. When Sherlock and Watson first met, Cui Xuanxuan jumped up excitedly!
Even if the time is not right, the language is difficult to understand, and there are channel obstacles, this cannot hinder the determination of Zhang Chu's fans.
...
Compared to those fans who get up very early, Zhang Chu is heartless and doesn't care about the TV series at all. He slept until after eight in the morning.
"Beautiful, what should I eat for breakfast today?"
As soon as Zhang Chu came back from going to the bathroom, he found his mother sitting on the sofa staring at her phone and kept asking.
Chu Lan turned her head and said, "There is yogurt in the refrigerator. The steamed buns your father bought yesterday didn't eat, so put them in the microwave to heat them up. You kid don't care about your TV series. It started at 4 a.m., and it still can't be searched on TV now!"
"I guess there is no update resource in the set-top box. Don't worry, the Chinese subtitles may not be ready yet."
Zhang Chu was calm on the surface, but in fact he was still a little nervous inside. The ratings of Detective Sherlock were related to his future income. If the ratings of the first TV series were too low, there might not be a second one.
Yogurt and steamed buns are a bit simple to match, but you will just fill your stomach.
He really hasn't seen the current version of "Detective Sherlock", so after solving the problem of food and clothing, he turned on the computer to see what netizens said!
Zhang Chu is the screenwriter and original author of this TV series, and he also has the primary English proficiency given by the Savior system. It doesn't matter if there is no update to cooked meat now.
Fortunately, Tencent Video had already released the Chinese subtitle version in advance, which almost rushed in to the netizens at home during holidays.
Videos that need to be a VIP to watch have not stopped fans from being crazy. As the overlord of instant messaging, Tencent has more customer resources than imagined.
"Don't scare me, 310,000 people are watching at the same time?" Zhang Chu was shocked by the numbers displayed on the edge of the webpage. There were so many member accounts watching before nine o'clock in the morning. The numbers were too scary, right?
After all, the membership functions of these video websites are not universal. Many people only have one video website member. If they want to watch "Sherlock" now, they must buy another member!
I don’t know when the video was launched, but the barrage was already dense. What are the numbers, areas, and names, and all the pictures are blocked.
The numbers that are viewed at the same time do not seem to be forged, there are really so many people watching them at the same time!
In order to watch the movie happily, Zhang Chu had no choice but to block the barrage, otherwise he would not be able to penetrate it at all.
At this time, more and more people clicked on this TV series, and Tencent Video almost couldn't stop smiling. This has ushered in a big wave of new members!
There are people who recharge the money early in the morning, and the number of new members added in dozens of minutes is even more than in one or two days before.
The most important thing is that it is not the peak period. After all, there are not many people who are willing to watch TV series at 9 a.m. The video website members are mainly young people. They either go to work or have not gotten up yet on holiday. Perhaps this surge in growth will last for a long time.
Zhang Chu checked intently. The picture was not much different from the script he wrote. He only changed it in some modern British customs, and there were very few things that were edited out!
"Ding Ding Ding"
Several voice messages popped up on the mobile phone screen that was originally locked.
He unlocked it with his fingerprint, then put his phone close to his ear and sounded, wanting to hear what Zhou Kang was so excited over there.
"The ratings are out! I can't believe it!"
"More than 8.4 million people watched the live broadcast, this is a rhythm that goes against the will of heaven!"
"BBC is going crazy, they can make a lot of money this time."
Zhang Chu frowned, and he replied to Duan Voice and said, "Why are there only 8.4 million people? The number of people watching TV is too small."
Zhou Kang quickly replied: "The total population in the UK is not large, so of course it cannot be compared with our China and the United States. Do you know what the ratings of 8.4 million people are? 32.8%!"
"Did you read the numbers wrong? 3.28% is almost the same." Zhang Chu questioned calmly. The ratings of a TV series in China that can premiere by more than 1% are now considered a hit, and 3% is almost a phenomenon.
But "Detective Sherlock" is a good thing, and it directly won a rating of far more than 30% in the UK!
What is this concept?
"My Fair Princess", which was popular all over the country, had a rating of 47%, while "Deep Love in the Rain" was 11%. This is a veritable national TV series!
You should know that people's entertainment methods were very poor at that time. Now the entertainment methods are diverse, and the ratings should have fallen.
Zhou Kang took a deep breath, "It's indeed this number, it is the highest ratings in a month. It is also ranked second in the ratings throughout the year, second only to the New Year's New Year fireworks show, and it is even higher than the Queen of England's Christmas speech!"
Chapter completed!
