After dinner at six, Li Mei immediately got someone to prepare drinks and snacks and placed them on the coffee table. She said to Li Chen happily, “Butler Li, inform everyone to rest tonight. If it’s not an urgent matter, leave it for tomorrow. Everyone, come and watch television first.”

Tan Ming held her forehead and felt a little embarrassed. “Mom, this is too much! What if they don’t want to see it?”

They could slack off, why would they want to work!

When the short-haired maid, who was making fruit tea, heard this, she was afraid that Li Mei would change her mind. “Madam, Miss, I’ve heard you guys talk about it usually. We also pay attention to the drama ‘Cycle’ in private. When I watched the promotional video, I felt that it was a pity that 1 had to work overtime and couldn’t watch the premiere. I didn’t expect Madam to be so considerate!”

When Li Mei heard this, the smile on her face deepened. She said to Tan Ming, “An’an, be more confident! When Mom saw the exciting scenes released by your production team, I felt that this would definitely be good!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang Yan and Jiang Xun were already sitting on the sofa, waiting for the live broadcast. Jiang Huai opened a bag of potato chips and lay lazily on the sofa. He said calmly to Tan Ming, “You’ll get used to it. I’ve been through this too.”

Li Mei looked at Jiang Huai unhappily. “From your tone, what’s wrong? I worked so hard to help you promote it. Aren’t you done?!”

Jiang Huai hurriedly revealed a fawning smile. “No, no. I’m very grateful. I’m just afraid that you’ll work too hard. You usually have to take care of the family and worry about my movies and television dramas.”

Li Mei rolled her eyes at Jiang Huai and sat beside Tan Ming. “I have confidence in you! Good luck!”

With her parents’ unconditional support and help, Tan Ming suddenly felt that it was not so embarrassing to be judged by a group of people. A blissful smile appeared on her face. “Yes!”

“Campus Love” was broadcasted on the first day of the new year. This kind of pure love theme still captured a considerable share of the market. Marriage in real life might be a mess, but innocent love itself represented hope. It was irresistible.

Since life was already very tough, it was good to occasionally watch others fall in love and make themselves feel better. Therefore, once it was broadcasted, the ratings were third place in the prime 8pm slot.

Such viewership ratings were considered very good for television dramas without top celebrities participating.

On the other hand, the viewership ratings for ‘Cycle’, which was broadcasted on the second day of the Lunar New Year, could only be said to be neither high nor low on the first day. It was all thanks to this theme that they could achieve such results. Otherwise, without a popular celebrity who could direct fan traffic, it would already be considered good if the viewership ratings weren’t last.

However, in the next few days, the situation began to reverse.

[Sisters! Who knew! A few days ago, 1 was still mocking the fact that this drama was a gathering place for unknown actors. Today, I’m already trapped! 1 just opened a membership online in the morning and finished all the episodes of “Cycle” a few days ago! Reality has proven that popularity can’t be interchanged with the brilliance of capability. From the main character to the supporting actors, everyone’s acting skills are on point! I really like the female lead, calm and wise!]

[1 just finished catching up +1. Sisters, hurry up! The plot of “Cycle” is too complicated. I really want to slap myself. A few days ago, before it was released, my friend said that this drama would definitely be good and asked me to follow it on the second day of Lunar New Year. However, I went to watch “Campus Love”. Yesterday, when I was changing channels while waiting for the television advertisements to end, I saw a small part of the plot and completely fell for it. Now, I can only spend money to watch it online. I want to cry.]

[Hahaha, looks like 1 have good taste. When I finished watching “Campus Love” on Lunar New Year, I immediately knew that it was a cliche again. 1 had no choice. As a follower of many idol school dramas for many years, 1 could see through the subsequent plot at a glance. On the second day of New Year’s, 1 decided to watch this drama with a new theme. Everyone, don’t be blinded by popular celebrities! It’s really disrespectful to the audience to release a television drama where the actors lack acting skills!]

[After watching ‘Cycle’, you’ll realize that television dramas with proper actors are really exciting. An’an’s performance as a newbie really stunned me. 1’11 support her dramas in the future!]

[1 like An’an +1. School idol dramas are indeed similar. Although the filming methods and plot of “Campus Love” are indeed innovative, it’s still the same. I can only say that I’m tired of fans only caring about having their idols in a show. I strongly recommend ‘Cycle’! Although there’s no sweet love, it’s not bad to use your brain occasionally to prevent Alzheimer’s!]

[Currently, in the eighth episode, the male and female leads played by An’an and Feng Bin don’t have any romantic sparks at all. They’re purely partners. Although I don’t know what will happen next, I still like them as a love idol drama fan.. The feeling of being evenly matched and fighting side by side is too wonderful!]
