On the 30th, TVB announced the latest round of live TV (highest) ratings, Chen Zhanpeng's new drama "Hong Kong People in Beijing" broadcast from 9:30 to 10:29 in the evening recorded 19.4 o'clock, and Chen Hao's new drama "Romeo and Zhu Yingtai" broadcast from 8:30 to 10:29 p.m. recorded 19.2 o'clock, which really surprised many people.
This is the first time since the end of "Iron Fist Heroes" that a second-tier prime-time self-made drama has defeated a first-tier prime-time self-made drama. Coincidentally, "Iron Fist Hero" is also a drama starring Chen Zhanpeng, from this point of view, he really deserves to be a TVB ratings blessing and is worthy of reuse by the drama department.
However, for Chen Hao and "Romeo and Zhu Yingtai", this taste is not very good, after all, they have the best time period, and they are in the good situation of "Hello, My Doctor", and they are already weak and at least 2 points lower in the time period, and they are the mess of "Long Wind Crossing". No matter how you look at it, it's a humiliating defeat. PS: If it is broadcast at 9:30, it is likely to be a strong contender for the lowest rating record in TVB history
Maybe this result is not enough to conclude that "Romeo and Zhu Yingtai" is a bad drama, but the ratings at least reflect the fact that it is far less popular than "Hong Kongers in Beijing", which has caused a lot of negative impact on the prime-time basic market. And this will also have a knock-on effect, with Charmaine Sheh's "News Queen" bearing the brunt.
Originally, TVB's top management chose "News Queen" to be broadcast at 8:30 because they had high hopes, hoping to fight a beautiful battle in Taiwan Qingyue with a big return to the nest and big productions, and sweep away this year's ratings decline, but the "Romeo and Zhu Yingtai" that was to be handed over to the baton dropped the ratings to early 19 o'clock before more than half, and then I don't know how bad it will be (it is impossible to cut in half for Taiwan celebration dramas), how to fight this battle? You must know that Tai Qingyue is likely to become a backstabber.
Under the current circumstances, if Charmaine Sheh doesn't want to bear this pot, the best way is to let TVB's top management adjust the file, and buy the drama "Shadow Sniper" to take over the class of "Romeo and Zhu Yingtai", and "News Queen" to transfer to the class of "Hong Kong People in Beijing". Otherwise, you can only expect to play supernormal or even supergodly.
There is no doubt that half of this year's Taiwan Qingyue has failed, and there is no need to expect "Romeo and Zhu Yingtai" to regain the 20-point level, hold on to 18 o'clock, and burn high incense without diving and plummeting. Hopefully, my pessimism will not be confirmed.
