Chapter 1112: The First Round of Battle Draws to a Close
[Second Children's Channel, cartoon average viewership 2.09!]
[Specific viewership of each major work as follows...]
The viewership has been released!
The results shockingly scattered eyeballs everywhere!
Broke 2!
The average viewership for cartoons on the Second Children's Channel broke 2!
Look back.
Now let's look at the First Children's Channel.
Countless people from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei were caught off guard, and a sense of horror actually rose in their hearts!
...
First Children's Channel.
"What?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"How did it break 2?"
"Because we are channel one, so we broke 1, and they are channel two so they broke 2?"
"Are you messing with metaphysics with me?"
"No!"
"How did they achieve such high viewership when we've already reached a break 1 viewership?"
"Aren't these kids supposed to be doing homework instead of watching cartoons?"
...
Over at the Big Five.
Many had just seen the viewership ratings and were clapping in celebration, discussing where to have dinner together later that night, when suddenly they saw the ratings for Channel Two and immediately got their hackles up!
"This is impossible!"
"This is unreasonable!"
"This is not scientific!"
"Why is it like this?"
"Broke 2, how could it break 2!"
"What's the deal with Shadow, did his fanciful tricks actually freaking work?"
"This guy!"
"Understands children's interests better than us?"
"It's over!"
"We are going to be held accountable by Zhongzhou Headquarters, we five branches actually lost to Shadow!"
...
Second Children's Channel.
The whole station is jumping for joy!
"Shadow God!"
"Long live!"
"I told you so!"
"The Big Five are formidable and indeed stable, but they lack surprise, our cartoons are all about surprise!"
"Shadow is awesome!"
"Haha, just look who the Shadow God usually hangs out with!"
"Chu Kuang, Xian Yu, Shadow, these Three Bros never mess up!"
"Everyone says Shadow is not as good as Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, as an animator I really want to say, Shadow is not just a comic master, but also an animation master, he's not inferior to those two at all!"
"Animation Master?"
"Still lacking a bit now, but as long as Shadow has time, becoming an Animation Master is only a matter of time!"
...
Starlight Animation!
Everyone is in an ecstasy!
"Oh my God!"
"Our produced cartoons broke 2 in viewership!"
"Ah!"
"Have I glorified my ancestors with this wave?"
"How many people watched the cartoons I took part in making yesterday!"
"Thanks to Shadow God!"
"Praise Shadow God!"
"May Shadow God lend us his mighty thighs to cling to!"
...
Chase Shadow Dream Factory.
Screams were resounding continuously, and someone even started whistling!
"Take off!"
"Big Five equals invincible?"
"Heh, the one with Shadow God conquers all!"
"Look at the name of our company!"
"Chase Shadow!"
"It's not about Shadow God trying to catch up with Chu Kuang and Xian Yu!"
"It's about our peers striving hard to catch up with our Shadow God!"
"Hahahaha, this battle has indeed made us famous!"
"From now on, we are also a first-class animation company!"
...
Online.
Tribe blogs and other major platforms are downright exploding!
"Wait a minute!"
"Have I seen this episode before?"
"Strange!"
"Why does this scene look so familiar?"
"We should have thought of it when the official second channel was set up!"
"Thought of what?"
"Initially, when the Literature and Art Association had to choose short fairy tale works to promote, Chu Kuang, that old rascal, strong-armed the officials to open a special channel for him to promote 'Fairytale Town'!"
"It's the same with Shadow this time."
"The intense déjà vu in this episode is because, back then, Shadow fought an entire league by himself!"
"Now, Shadow is taking on the big five all by himself!"
"Not just the big five, but also two top-tier animation companies."
"Although the big five's headquarters didn't participate, the power of their branches has always been overwhelming in each continent, and this is the first time someone has rolled them over in reverse!"
"No more talking!"
"I'm watching channel two tonight!"
...
Shadow Studio.
Lin Yuan got the news.
Jin Mu was extremely excited and brought several of Lin Yuan's comic lands over to celebrate together!
"Teacher, you're so formidable!"
"Teacher, can we learn animation from you?"
"Our comics are already drawn very well!"
"Let us join Dream Factory too!"
"Why not just merge the studio with Dream Factory?"
"Exactly."
"Let us help Teacher out!"
"Teacher doesn't need our help; he should be the one guiding us!"
...
The disciples babbled and argued.
They laughed and horsed around for a long time before dispersing.
Jin Mu chuckled: "The viewership is much better than I had imagined!"
Lin Yuan nodded.
The viewership had broken the two percent mark.
Lin Yuan himself was surprised.
But the two percent is the average viewership.
In fact, if you look closely, you'll find that these animations have different ratings.
For example:
The ratings for 'The Tales of Effendi' aren't high.
Puppetry, while artistically valuable, is still not very familiar to the general public.
However, 'Calabash Brothers' has very good ratings.
Probably because, despite being a paper-cut animation, the plot is extremely thrilling, the story resonates with children's aesthetics, and paper-cutting itself doesn't alienate the kids."
The best reputation lies with 'Tadpole looking for Mom'.
However, the lowest viewership belongs to this ink wash animation.
The others are fairly good.
The best performer is still the recently popular across continents 'Doraemon'."
Additionally, the tokusatsu show 'Ultraman Tiga' also unexpectedly boasts high viewership.
Lin Yuan said, "It seems like we can make some adjustments."
Jin Mu nodded, "Let's schedule 'SpongeBob SquarePants' for the evening broadcast."
Lin Yuan stroked his chin, "Then 'Ultraman Tiga' could be moved up a bit earlier."
This animation is indeed more suitable for adults; broadcasting it in the evening makes more sense when fewer children are watching TV.
The two analyzed for a while.
But the analysis wasn't just a mere exercise.
The suggestions were summarized by Jin Mu and sent over to the second channel.
Speaking of Blue Star's second children's channel, as a newly established TV station, it will rely greatly on Shadow in the future, so it also accepted these suggestions.
After all, the suggestions are reasonable.
Besides, it's still the early days of the TV station's establishment, the public hasn't formed the habit of watching at set times yet, so adjusting the broadcast sequence of certain shows won't have much impact.
The main measures are also very simple.
Simply put, 'SpongeBob SquarePants' would be aired later.
Conversely, 'Ultraman Tiga' would have its broadcast time moved up slightly.
Additionally.
The animated series 'The Tales of Effendi' would also be moved to a less favorable time slot, while simultaneously streamlining the content, aiming to finish its broadcast within a month, and replacing it with new animations.
This is standard practice for TV stations.
Popular works? Just keep broadcasting them.
Unpopular works? Wrap them up quickly to start new ones.
With that.
Blue Star's first major battle for animated show viewership ended with Shadow utterly triumphant!
But this was only the first round of battle.
The flames of this great war are set to keep burning on.
On one side are the big five, eager to reclaim their position;
On the other side stands Shadow, ready to become the animation god of Blue Star!
Yes.
Lin Yuan has now made it clear that his goal is to make Shadow the god of animation!
Forget about the animation departments of the big five.
Even if the big five's headquarters were in the way, Shadow would still break through.
