Half an hour after Liao Yin hung up the phone, Tomato TV officially released the relevant notice.

Compared with other platforms, Weibo has the largest number of users and they are naturally the first to see the official news from Tomato TV.

[Tomato TV V: Notice: Due to the venue problem of the semi-finals, the program team has temporarily adjusted the first semi-final of "I Am a Singer" at 8 pm this Saturday to next Saturday. Please forgive me! ]

Liao Yin was also unwilling to suffer losses.

So as soon as the official notices from various platforms were sent out, several marketing accounts revealed all the so-called "venue issues".

[It’s already Friday, and they’re just saying there’s something wrong with the venue. There’s obviously something fishy going on!]

[I heard that Chun Jiang TV was causing trouble, renting a good venue in advance, and they would rather breach the contract than cooperate with Fanqie TV!]

[The ratings of "Singer" have always been the highest. It is simply the uncrowned king of Saturday's 8 o'clock slot. Some TV stations are getting anxious!]

[Will it really start on time next Saturday? There are only three games left, I want to watch it all in peace]

[It should be possible, otherwise, why would Tomato TV specially issue this statement?]

[What will Tomato TV broadcast at 8 o'clock this Saturday? Will it broadcast a new program? Or will it move other programs to this time slot?]

[I feel that "Chinese Paladin" will be broadcast. Now the plot has reached a very critical point. It won't be long before the finale comes. I am super looking forward to it! I hope it will be a happy ending!]

[I haven’t watched that drama, is it good on Tomato TV?]

[I don’t think it’s good. Didn’t Tomato TV broadcast a fairy tale drama last time? I watched one or two episodes and it was really a rehash of the old stuff, so I don’t think this fairy sword drama will be good.]

[Please, can't the producers of both shows be different? Some people just like to take things for granted!]

……

After discussing the venue issue mentioned by the program team for a while, the topic gradually shifted to the new drama produced by Tangxing Entertainment.

Afterwards, Yan Sui and others forwarded the official notice from Tomato TV, and each of them said "see you next week".

Tangxing Entertainment also issued a new notice at this time, which said that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" would be broadcast for two consecutive episodes at 8 o'clock this Saturday, completely confirming the netizens' "hearings" and speculations.

On Friday night, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" was broadcast as usual.

Tonight's plot has reached the point where Baiyue left the Liu family and met Anu and Tang Yu on the way. Fortunately, the sword fairy arrived in time and took the two away with the flying gourd.

However, Baiyue summoned blood crows to besiege several people. In order to protect Anu, Tang Yu jumped off the gourd and used his own blood to lure the blood crows away.

At the same time, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru continued to advance in the Demon Locking Tower. In order to protect them from harm, Ling'er decided to sacrifice herself and take the nameless pill given by the Sword Saint, which was said to make people forget all love, and leave.

The two episodes are neither long nor short.

As the second ending song started, those who had been following the drama for the first time either expressed their feelings directly in comments, or discussed or complained on forums and Weibo.

[No, is this Sword Saint just sick? If he hadn't locked people up in the Demon Tower, would Ling'er have suffered so much? It makes me angry]

[One moment he says Ling Er has a mission and a responsibility, and the next moment he gives her some elixirs to make her forget everything... So the Sword Master actually has a problem with his brain, right?]

[Alas, I am ashamed. You are all trying to figure out the logic of the plot, but I am the only one thinking that Xie Wei’s crying is so damn pretty… Chen Nan is really good at choosing actors! ]

[Wow, it's fine if it's just a Forget Worry Gu, but now there's also a Nameless Pill. Does that mean one of the hero and heroine has to forget?]

[This is the disadvantage of getting married at the beginning. Because it progresses too quickly, there are many hardships later on! I don’t know how many times I cried QAQ]

[How many episodes are left until the end? I'm really scared. I hope it won't be all gone by the end? I can't accept BE! I can't!]

……

The further the plot progresses, the more people discuss it.

The two episodes aired on Friday have already received a viewership rating of 9.

Compared with the initial ratings of only 1 which was ridiculed by many people, it has increased nine times!

In contrast, "The Splendid Song", co-produced by Baihua and Wansheng, has a viewership rate of only 12% from the initial 13%, and sometimes it cannot even maintain this viewership data.

People in the film and television department of Baihua Media have already felt threatened.

After learning that Tomato Channel had problems with the venue for the "Singer" program and was going to broadcast "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" on Saturday, someone from the Film and Television Department began to inquire about the variety shows that would be broadcast on Chunjiang Channel and Nanzhou Channel this Saturday.

That's right, 'soon to be'.

Because of the huge popularity of "Singer", the two TV stations tried to suppress it secretly, but failed.

So I just came up with a new show, hoping it could surpass Tomato Channel.

But their confidence in the new program is not as great as imagined.

So there was a change in the venue of "Singer".

However, the people from Baihua Film and Television Department found out much more than that.

After they learned that the planner of the new program was from Wansheng Media, they went directly to ask their acquaintances.

The two companies have close ties, and the other party did not hide anything and provided a lot of useful information.

For example, the program that Chunjiang TV is about to broadcast is also of the music type, and it also invites already debuted and famous singers as guests, and it is also a competition between singers.

However, their competition is not in the same format as "Singer". Instead, singers are divided into groups by drawing lots and compete against each other. They can choose to sing new songs or adapt other songs.

Overall, the creativity of this plan is actually not bad.

"During the same time period, there are more than 20 variety shows broadcast in Dongzhou and Nanzhou combined."

"But the only show that can be compared with Wansheng's is The Singer. The ratings of other shows are too low, mostly hovering around 1%. There is no need to pay attention to them at all."

"It just so happens that 'Singer' is not airing this week, which means that our show has no competitors at all! As long as the first episode can be arranged well and attract attention, what does 'Singer' matter?"

"Tomato TV is still similar to those local TV stations. How can it be compared with Nanzhou TV and Chunjiang TV, which have a large audience base? So there is no need to worry too much..."

After the other party finished his long speech, the talent from Baihua Film and Television Department asked:

"Tomato Channel is planning to broadcast a TV series on Saturday. Do you think your new show will be better than the TV series currently being broadcast?"

"Are you talking about that fairy tale drama?" the person on the other end of the phone asked back, and then said nonchalantly, "No problem! Most TV stations broadcast variety shows at 8 o'clock on Saturdays. The audience should be used to watching variety shows. Who would watch a drama? Besides, it's a fairy tale drama..."

Listening to my old friend from Wansheng talking a lot, my confidence was almost overflowing from the screen.

The person in charge of gathering information at Baihua Media always feels that the other party is not very reliable.
