Chapter 418 Competing Shows
Usually, following the proper procedures would ensure a show's approval.
If it didn't pass, there would be no valid justification for it.
Lydia had asked her boyfriend to help delay the process.
Without Violeta's connections, the show could have been held up for a considerable time.
However, Violeta's ability to speed things up indicated that she had substantial support.
The assistant asked, "Lydia, what should we do now? Should we consider organising some online campaigns to boost our show's visibility?"
Lydia blinked, studying her reflection in the mirror. She replied slowly, "There's no need for that. It would be a waste of money."
The assistant pressed further, "So, what's the plan, then?"
Lydia responded, "We can't control the promotional process. It's pointless to spend our own money at this stage."
It wasn't the right moment to invest in such tactics.
With 'Nirvana and Rebirth' now approved, they had no choice but to confront the situation directly.
They could only hope that the ratings would remain strong.
"When is their release?" Lydia inquired.
"I saw on their official page that it's scheduled for next month," the assistant replied.
Lydia asked, "Who invested in this drama? And who is the production company?"
The assistant checked and said, "It looks like White Group is behind it. Does this mean Violeta funded it herself? No wonder."
At that time, no one had high expectations for Danielle.
Only Violeta had faith in the show, investing family funds into its production, with Niall also contributing some money.
Violeta was essentially the main financier and held complete control over the project.
If the ratings soared, Violeta would gain both fame and fortune.
If it failed, she would face a loss of both.
It all depended on the outcome.
Nirvana and Rebirth' had successfully passed the review and started its promotional campaign.
Zelena was a bit surprised by the approval.
Did my complaint have no impact?
Violeta certainly knows how to get things done.
That evening, the official account released a promotional trailer for 'Nirvana and Rebirth' on a short video platform. Excitement quickly escalated.
The edited trailer had everyone eagerly awaiting what was to come.
There were two teaser trailers.
When watched together, they showcased elements of humanity, darkness, revenge, and class.
Even before airing, the show had generated considerable buzz.
For example, this was Violeta's
second drama since winning the et
among the main cast, she
Best Supporting Actress and
the
only Chesian actor.
A decade ago, Glorialand TV dramas were highly popular domestically.
The melodramatic love, hate, and intrigue in these shows were intense but compelling, with dramatic twists and gripping storylines.
This drama was also the first in the domestic entertainment industry to market itself as a dark, revenge-driven thriller.
From the trailers, it was clear that the cast consisted entirely of morally ambiguous characters.
The audience had grown weary of romantic dramas.
Nirvana and Rebirth' was making a dramatic debut, promising to stir up significant excitement in the industry. Interestingly, the script was penned by a newcomer.
However, Wendy had also incorporated some of her own ideas and made minor adjustments during filming.
Due to differences in episode length
between the domestic and
international versions, the
international version would air one episode per day, for a total of 16 episodes, completed in 16 days.
The domestic version would air two episodes per day for a total of 12 episodes, finishing in one week.
Thus, the domestic version had four fewer episodes than the international one.
The domestic version would end sooner, but both versions would broadcast during the same period.
Before the promotional build-up began, 'As Soon As We Meet' didn't feel the pressure, as there were no competing shows at the same time.
But with 'Nirvana and Rebirth'
making a strong entrance, 'As Soon As We Meet' quickly began buying trending searches and ramping up its own promotional efforts.
Both shows were set to air next month.
As a newcomer, Violeta had already achieved the title of Best Supporting Actress after just one show, placing her among the top actresses. Meanwhile, Lydia was a seasoned queen of viewership ratings, with a perfect track record. Could Violeta break Lydia's unbeaten streak? The competition was heating up online, with fans passionately debating.
Some even unearthed Violeta's award-winning video for Best Supporting Actress during the Skyward Awards.
