Ratings Rank 5: "Singles," Episode 11 with 4.28%.

4.77%.

Looking at this result, Ikumi Shinozaki was clearly happy, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Surpassing "Summer Bloom's" 4.74%, the work with the highest ratings this season will undoubtedly be "Your Lie in April."

"Let's go, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Su Yan put down his phone.

Although he had been confident in his words, he wasn't actually that stable inside.

Now that the results were finalized, the string in his heart also loosened.

He didn't want to deal with any work now, and only wanted to wait until tomorrow for any cooperation agreements.

For now, eating well, sleeping well, and then welcoming the next challenge were the most important things.

The first work since the establishment of their company was not only a commercial success, but also...

...the word-of-mouth for the work was also excellent, and the ratings were also number one.

Then, when the dramas produced by Su Yan's company are broadcast again, negotiating cooperation will not be as humble as before.

The ratings results of the final episode of "Your Lie in April" spread throughout the entire television industry in a very short time.

On this day, colleagues from various television stations had complex expressions.

Regarding Su Yan, this genius, they now had only one thought in their minds.

A freak.

Taking the number one spot in ratings at Sakura TV.

Also taking the number one spot in ratings at Qingkong TV.

The three major television stations have never been slapped in the face like this in so many years since their establishment.

But in reality, not all of the three major television stations were feeling bad.

At least Zhongxia TV, because Su Yan's "Your Lie in April" had already surpassed their ratings long ago, the people in their production department instead hoped that the dramas of Sakura and Shanghai TV would also be surpassed by "Your Lie in April."

We agreed that the three major television stations would share blessings and share difficulties. Since I've already lost face, why aren't you two coming down to accompany me?

The entire Zhongxia TV station felt refreshed today.

Indeed, the results of "Person of Hope" and "Singles" this season were not good, but it's not just us who are losing face.

On the other side, the internal staff of Shanghai TV, although regretful and unwilling, were also helpless.

At least among the dramas of the three major television stations, only "Summer Bloom" was able to compete with "Your Lie in April" until the end.

Although the three major television stations all underperformed this season.

But our Zhongxia is definitely the best performer among them, the higher-ups in the station shouldn't blame us for this, right?

"Summer Bloom," a level A investment drama, achieved a rating of 4.74%, how can there be anything bigger than this?

Who could have predicted encountering a drama like "Your Lie in April?"

And the atmosphere inside Sakura TV was the most depressing.

Since Yoshitoki Akasaka took office as the head of the production department for two seasons, today was the day his authority as head was challenged the most severely.

Originally, Su Yan was a person from Sakura TV.

Ikumi Shinozaki was also a person from Sakura TV.

Therefore, "Your Lie in April," the drama with the number one rating this season, should have also been a drama from Sakura TV.

Why did things turn out like this?

When the situation was very good, everything Yoshitoki Akasaka did was right.

But once the situation changed, his actions of cutting half the budget for "Rurouni Kenshin" when it was approved...

...arranging a garbage time slot for "Ancient Love Poetry" when it was approved...

...and a series of small actions when "To the Moon" was approved, then there was a problem.

The higher-ups of Sakura TV didn't want to pay attention to these operations of their subordinates, but now they have to pay attention.

After all, Yoshitoki Akasaka is the head of the production department, and he has worked at the television station for decades, even if he has no merit, he has worked hard, and it is impossible to kick him out of the position of head of the production department because of this kind of thing.

But the shareholders of the television station couldn't do nothing after they were angered.

Since you, Yoshitoki Akasaka, squeezed out this genius in order to promote your own useless nephew.

Then fine.

That afternoon, Yamaji Kiyota received a contract termination notice issued by the higher-ups of the writing department in a daze.

He was fired.

After Akasaka Yoshitoki learned of this news, he stayed alone in his office for an entire afternoon.

He knew very well that this was a warning to him from the higher-ups of the television station.

When Su Yan left Sakura, he clearly stated that he was leaving because of him, Akasaka Yoshitoki.

Although it's not clear whether that was the truth or deliberately said to disgust him, the higher-ups in the station don't care so much.

Sakura TV cannot continue to be suppressed by a traitor screenwriter like this, and cannot continue to become a laughing stock in the industry.

Sakura TV can lose to Shanghai, can lose to Zhongxia, but must never lose to those two traitors, Su Yan and Ikumi Shinozaki.

Su Yan has now become his tight band in the Xia Country television drama industry.

The higher the achievements Su Yan makes in the future, the greater his sin of squeezing Su Yan out in the first place will be.

Akasaka Yoshitoki's expression was ugly, and he slammed his fist on the table.

He must suppress Su Yan's arrogant arrogance, otherwise, if this continues, he may lose the trust of the higher-ups in the station.

After the news of "Your Lie in April" taking the number one spot in ratings spread, the film and television media and drama critics in Xia Country became excited.

Isn't this where the topics come from?

A wild screenwriter who started a company, the drama that premiered on Qingkong TV, broke the monopoly of the three major television stations for more than ten years.

This season's gluttonous feast, we've eaten our fill of melons.

These media outlets will not be polite, and all kinds of comments were made.

[Sakura TV is being slapped in the face by a traitor.]

[Qingkong TV took the season crown for the first time since its establishment. Su Yan created another miracle this season.]

[The arrogance of the three major television stations for a long time has finally encountered backlash this season. Su Yan proved that even with the highest investment, a script without creativity cannot win the season crown. The three major television stations should perhaps reflect on their long-term behavior and start from the next season, and step out of the comfort zone.]

[The strongest face-slapping drama of the year. Su Yan completed the feat of winning the season crown at Sakura TV, leaving Sakura TV, and then winning the season crown at Qingkong TV this year. In one year, Su Yan's dramas won two season crowns. If the dramas of the three major television stations do not improve in the autumn season, perhaps the annual ratings crown will also be taken by "Your Lie in April!"]

[A screenwriter who debuted for one year has created such a feat in the industry. His name must be on the nomination list for the Xia Yan Award for Best Screenwriter this year.]

[Tragedy, still tragedy. "Your Lie in April" fans scolded Su Yan, but the average paid views per episode of "Your Lie in April" on Raccoon Network exceeded 13 million, and the score came to 9.6]

[Looking forward to Su Yan's next drama, whether his next drama can still create a miracle.]

The media and fans of "Your Lie in April" worked together.

This made the Xia Country drama fans at the end of the summer season discover.

Overnight, "Your Lie in April" seemed to become the center of the industry's vortex.

Clearly, its ratings were not much higher than "Summer Bloom."

But its popularity far exceeded "Summer Bloom."

The "Your Lie in April" fans who couldn't get over it scolded Su Yan for a day and were still puzzled.

Until...

That night, a new trailer video appeared on the playback page of "Your Lie in April" on Raccoon Network.

This video was very short, and its content was also very simple.

It only excerpted the scene in the eleventh episode where Kaori Miyazono's family was choosing where to have the surgery and which plan to choose.

In the original plot of the eleventh episode, because the male lead Kousei Arima was preparing for a music competition, Kaori Miyazono was afraid of affecting him, and also because she lacked courage, she did not consult him on this matter.

And in this trailer, Kaori Miyazono made this call to Kousei Arima.

Then a line of words appeared at the end of the trailer.

"Your Lie in April. If Line"

No one can describe how the fans who were still spraying Su Yan in the comments section late at night felt when this trailer appeared.

Shock.

Ecstasy.

Moved.

Then, there was a burst of tears...

Everyone understands the meaning of the if line.

Life is always made up of countless choices.

If I made another choice at a certain key node, would life be different?

If Kaori Miyazono made that call at this important node in her life, and Kousei Arima's words gave her courage, would she and her family choose a more adventurous plan, and would that team be able to successfully operate and save her?

Everything is unknown.

But just such a possibility made the eyes of this group of "Your Lie in April" fans and Kaori Miyazono fans turn red.

In less than half an hour, the number of clicks on this trailer exceeded three million, and it was pushed to the top of the hot search by the "Your Lie in April" fans on Raccoon Network.

This drama is not over yet.

There is another possibility in Kaori Miyazono's life.
