Although the crew has made changes, because of the time, the nine and eleven episodes that were broadcast on TV were still edited with old footage filmed before, only slightly increasing the proportion of Zhang Chengyuan's scenes.

Because no major changes have been made, as everyone predicted, the ratings of "The Crown Prince's First Love" have continued to decline, while the ratings of its rival "Full House" have risen steadily, reaching more than 28%, and it is estimated that it will exceed 30% in the next week, surpassing the former by nearly 10%.

The re-decline in ratings and the further bombardment of many media made all the members of the crew feel very depressed, and the director, screenwriter and several leading actors were so heavy that they could barely swallow. Zhang Chengyuan can ignore whether others can eat enough, but Cheng Youli's body has obviously decreased a lot in the past two weeks, which makes him worry.

So, he forced Cheng Youli to eat enough every day, supervised her to drink the nutritious soup stewed by Cheng Ma or Yuzhu Xuan, and even fed her with his own hands, and consumed his true qi to regulate her body. When she is depressed, tell some lame jokes to amuse her; When she is tired, massage her to invigorate the blood; When she recites and practices her lines, he plays with her; It can be said that before and after the saddle, he is very considerate. When they occasionally get together at night, Zhang Chengyuan doesn't disturb her when she sleeps like usual, but just quietly hugs her to sleep together, acting as her body air conditioner.

With Zhang Chengyuan's successful cultivation of "refining and refining qi", he has long been not afraid of cold and heat, and for him, regulating the temperature of his body and even regulating the air temperature within three feet of his body is just a piece of cake. In this hot summer night, Cheng Youli has him by his side, which is really refreshing and comfortable, and the quality of sleep is better.

After his efforts, Cheng Youli's body and mood have improved greatly, but if the situation of the TV series continues to deteriorate like this, I am afraid that Cheng Youli will inevitably lose weight again with sorrow. Therefore, Zhang Chengyuan had to act harder, hoping to more or less save a little ratings. In addition to him, all the crew members are also working hard, hoping to shoot more exciting and satisfying dramas. It's just that their purpose is different from Zhang Chengyuan, they don't want the results of their hard work to be belittled and scolded.

Another week passed, and more than half of the new episodes of Eleventh and Twelfth used the latest footage, so viewers had a few delightful discoveries in these two episodes:

The male number one played by Cha Tae-hyun finally no longer looks like a self-righteous and self-righteous son, he has become respectful, considerate, and more responsible;

The second male lead played by Zhang Chengyuan is no longer so ruthless, although he still cherishes his words like gold, but his smile is much more, especially when he misses the heroine, he looks like a stupid man who has just fallen in love, and the sweet look in his heart makes the young female audience fascinated and can't stop;

Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli also have a lot more interactive scenes, and the relationship between the two looks sweeter. The two are talented and beautiful, like a natural couple, they don't need to act in any affectionate scenes, but the two are walking on the beach hand in hand, occasionally their eyes are connected, and the appearance of affection makes people feel that this is the real love that countless people yearn for.

After these two episodes aired, the cut pictures of Jang Sung-won and Sung You-ri's sweet shots were quickly uploaded to the Internet, causing a frenzy of downloads.

……

Another surprising discovery for viewers was that a few lines of subtitles were displayed at the end of each episode: "Please pick the person you want to see with the heroine, is Choi Kun-hee (Cha Tae-hyun) or Cha Seung-hyun (Jang Sung-won)?" Or neither. We will shoot the corresponding ending according to the choices of the majority of the audience. Stay tuned! This was followed by an introduction to how to vote and when to vote.

After these two episodes aired, they attracted considerable attention. Needless to say, Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli's love drama caused heated discussions, and the practice of letting the audience vote on the ending at the end of the play is enough to attract the public's attention.

For this approach, some people see it as a way to sensationalize and break the embarrassing situation of "The Crown Prince's First Love" whose ratings are plummeting. Although the effect is very good, so that the ratings do not decline, and even in the twelfth episode, it rises slightly, reaching 21.3%, but this cannot effectively improve the quality of TV dramas, nor can it make a positive contribution to the development of the TV drama industry.

There are also some people who believe that although this method cannot be a conventional method to save the ratings of TV dramas in the future, it is a wonderful way to change the situation at present, at least to attract the attention of the audience again.

Some people were noncommittal and commented: "From the two episodes of this week, we saw the ambition and sincerity of the "Crown Prince" crew to bring beautiful visual enjoyment to the audience, not only increasing the role of the handsome and more pleasing male lead to the audience, but also treating him as another male protagonist; And the arrangement of the plot is also more concise and compact, and at the same time, the shooting picture is becoming more and more refined, which looks quite beautiful and feasts the eyes. There are many other changes in this category, but it remains to be seen whether the audience will be truly satisfied in the end. But what is certain is that they are genuine, and this change, regardless of the outcome, is very desirable. ”

With so much attention and discussion among so many people, it is reasonable that the ratings of these two episodes have rebounded, and even the ratings of the two episodes next week can not be too worried. All the members of the crew were very excited and strengthened their self-confidence, and they also saw the hope of success.

Of course, this does not mean that the following days will be worry-free, no matter what kind of gimmick, it can only seize the limelight for a short time, and the key depends on the quality of the works filmed. The crew has a clear understanding of this point, because the director, screenwriter, etc. have repeatedly emphasized it many times.

Therefore, everyone did not lose their vigilance, but became more conscientious and hardworking. Although they often have to work overtime to shoot the camera, they are very tired mentally and physically, and they have almost reached the limit, but everyone persists tenaciously, because everyone feels that this time the effort will definitely pay off.

After several weeks of high-intensity struggle, the results were as everyone wished, and the ratings of episodes 13, 14, 15, and 16 of "The Crown Prince's First Love" have all risen steadily, although the amplitude is very small, and it is only about 25% in 16 episodes, which can neither be compared with the grand occasion when it first started, nor can it catch up with the ratings of the opponent "Full House of Romance". But everyone was very satisfied, because it was a miracle to be able to bring a precarious and obsolete TV series back to life! And because of the blockade of "The Crown Prince", the ratings of "Full House of Romance" have been hovering around 30%, and if you want to break through to 40% and become a national TV series, it is basically impossible at least until the end of the broadcast of "The Crown Prince". This can be regarded as a small revenge on the opponent.
