Chapter 481

As for Penguin Video, the final viewership data has also come out.

Because the "You Mingyue Wu Xia drama" brand is a gold-lettered signboard, the show was a hit before it even aired, starting with a bang. From the very beginning of the broadcast, the viewership continued to climb, so when the total views were added up, the data became extremely terrifying.

Total viewership: 30 billion!

A massive number of viewers chose to purchase a Penguin membership just to watch this show.

Even after the drama concluded, due to the explosion of popularity online, the rate of membership growth did not stop and continued to increase rapidly.

If you don't show off now, when will you?

Penguin Video took the unprecedented step of posting a Weibo celebrating "The World's Number One's total viewership of 30 billion," making the heads of other platforms so jealous they were practically falling apart.

This is a true annual blockbuster!

Across all major platforms, it is rare to see even one such work in a year.

How could people not be envious?

This time, Penguin really managed to show off.

"The money was well spent!" thought Fang Hai, Vice President of Penguin Video, in a great mood: "We must also spend the money to secure You Mingyue's next Wu Xia drama, 'Wind and Cloud'!"

There’s no helping it; having money is just that willful.

When it comes to being wealthy and imposing, it has to be Penguin.

But there were also those who were very unhappy.

According to the recollections of the female secretary to the General Manager of Tianguang Entertainment, on the second day after "The World's Number One" concluded, Lin Zhi smoked two packs of cigarettes in his office, occasionally muttering, occasionally acting crazed, and occasionally furious—his appearance exactly like that of the Iron-Gall God of War, Zhu Zhu Wushi, when his dreams were shattered at the end of the drama.

Imperial Capital, You Mingyue Studio.

Today is undoubtedly extremely busy.

The telephone rings incessantly.

There are calls from major online video platforms, as well as from various satellite television stations.

The data for "The World's Number One" is too good; it has already become a Wu Xia classic, and as such, it has become a hot commodity.

Penguin Video only obtained the online streaming rights for two years, so video websites like Youku, iQIYI, and Bilibili have entered the fray to compete for the streaming rights after those two years.

Penguin ate the big meat, and everyone else wants to drink some soup.

The major video platforms see it very clearly: with the influence of this blockbuster work "The World's Number One," years later, there will surely be countless people wanting to watch it a second, third, or fourth time...

Just like You Mingyue's "Sword Fairy" series; to this day, many people still watch it every day.

Their old dramas are even more popular than the vast majority of new ones.

Buying in now is definitely not a loss.

And the major satellite TV stations are playing a similar game.

Just like on Earth, where every year television stations broadcast "Journey to the West," "The Legend of the New White Snake," "Water Margin," and so on.

Truly excellent and classic works can withstand the test of time.

As long as they are rebroadcast, the data will never be bad.

For the young ladies, this is naturally a good thing.

It means there are hundreds of millions in business ahead.

However, they didn't worry about this matter; everything was left to the staff of You Mingyue Studio to handle.

Meanwhile, on the September music charts, You Mingyue's new song "Acacia" also began climbing the rankings, and the download data soared quickly.

Music fans know quality; although this song is not as influential as "Blue and White Porcelain" or "As You Wish," it can still become a widely sung classic—not to mention the added boost from the drama's popularity.

Just like on Earth, where netizens hear this song and think of "The Sequel to Journey to the West," now, music fans hear this song and think of the tragic love between Shangguan Haitang and Guihai Yidao in "The World's Number One."

The young ladies are of course very happy; song downloads represent money, another business worth tens of millions.

Zhejiang Province, Hengdian.

After finishing a day of exhausting filming, Xu Youyue finished dinner and was in a hotel room going over the "luminous script" with Sister Reba.

Come to think of it.

The young lady's feeling at this very moment was very fast.

Because she is one soul in two bodies, the sensations she receives are also doubled.

The other her, that is, Mingyue, is currently eating sand in the Great Northwest; "Dragon Gate Flying Sword" is being filmed near Dunhuang, and the sky there hasn't darkened yet—it's just in time for a fight scene at dusk.

And she herself is in the hotel, drinking Sister Reba's milk tea, with a peerless beauty by her side, from whom wafts a refreshing and intoxicating feminine scent from time to time, making one heady and distracted.

Especially... this is Sister Reba, after all.

Full chest, slender waist, curvy figure, skin like congealed fat.

Her skin is so good you could pinch water out of it.

Youyue's gaze swept over Sister Reba's graceful body without a trace.

Just looking at her, she seems very moist.

Wealthy and generous.

It is well known that Sister Reba likes to cover up when walking the red carpet, but in the hotel room, because Youyue is also a girl, she didn't take any precautions.

And then it was... very deadly.

It makes one's mouth a bit dry.

"Youyue, is there any problem with me acting like I just did?" Sister Reba flipped through the script, looked up at Youyue with her beautiful big eyes and asked; for some reason, she always felt Director Yue's gaze was very intense.

It looked exactly like the gaze of those lecherous men.

But with two women together, what danger could there be?

It's very safe.

"Maybe it's my illusion," Sister Reba thought to herself.

"Very good, you understand the character; the state is captured just right." Youyue withdrew her "sea queen" gaze and nodded.

As mentioned before, Sister Reba has appeared in You Mingyue's film and television works and has been very proactive, taking the initiative to promote You Mingyue's movies.

The young lady remembers her kindness, and this matter has always been on her mind.

It just so happened that "Wind and Cloud" started filming, so there was an opportunity for collaboration.

In "Wind and Cloud," the role Sister Reba plays is Kong Ci.

Kong Ci is a maid of the World Martial Arts Association who has emotional ties with Nie Feng, Bu Bu Jingyun, and Qin Shuang; she grew up with the three of them and later became a tool for Xiong Ba to sow discord between Feng and Yun.

Judging by temperament, Sister Reba is the best choice to play Kong Ci.

On Earth, the actress who played Kong Ci was actually heavily criticized because she looked too ordinary and couldn't carry such a heavy role.

But Sister Reba playing Kong Ci doesn't have this problem.

This woman is incredibly stunning; she can play a vibrant young girl and also a glamorous, heavily made-up beauty, giving people a feeling of being full of charm and very alluring.

Sister Reba only needs to bring out her youthful acting skills for Kong Ci.

This character doesn't live long.

Come to think of it, "Wind and Cloud" is also a drama where everyone has a bad ending.

Bu Bu Jingyun married Chu Chu, but was given a "healthy-colored" hat by Xue Jian Chen.

Nie Feng loses his wife one after another.

Qin Shuang first lost his hands, and later lost his life.

Not one of them has a good ending.

However, the young lady likes it.

A little bit of suffering is more conducive to the audience's mental health!

"Thank you, Director Yue, for giving me individual guidance in your busy schedule," Sister Reba said politely.

Individual?

Youyue looked at the room—a hotel room, two women alone, it was indeed quite individual. Fortunately, she is a "transformed girl," otherwise, there would definitely be rumors flying everywhere.

"It's nothing, sister, you can come often, let's chat more." A certain transformed girl's abacus was almost clicking all the way to Mars.

Sister Reba's pretty face turned red in a flash.

She remembered the rumors that had circulated within Jiaxing about Zhu Zhu Xudan, Huang Huang Mengying, Daisi, Wang Wang Yijin, Yang Mi, and other women fighting for favor over these twins—could it be true?

How exciting.
