“Vie for Supremacy” was China’s last big drama at the end of this year. As early as a year ago, back when the crew still haven’t finished the preparations yet, there was already countless fans looking forward to it.

The director was Director Guo Long who was well-known within the industry, the female lead was the awarding-winning actress Tang Menglan, the male lead was the first-tier young star Dong Zheng, and the second male lead was the just as popular young star Ye Qiao. Even the supporting character was Rong Xu who had gotten instantly famous from the recent weekly drama “Ambush”, and was the biggest dark horse this year.

In short, with the high expectations of tens of million viewers, “Vie for Supremacy” officially aired!

A majestic and awe-inspiring soundtrack, heroic and fierce special effect scenes; in the opening of the first episode, the scene that greeted the audience was a cruel war on the battlefield. Following the story development, the viewers were quickly introduced to Xiao Xiang, to Xie Jingxian, to Dong Lilan…   

As the large veil over the world slowly withdrew in front of them, many viewers suddenly realized when the first first episode ended: “No way, so much time already passed!”

Continuing next would be the second episode.

This was the advantage of a daily drama, you can watch again once you finish, watch the next day, and keep on watching!

Quickly, the premiere day of “Vie for Supremacy” came to a close just like that. At twelve a.m., the national TV station’s ratings were released online. Numerous viewers fervently talked about “Vie for Supremacy” online while also opening up the ratings list. When they saw the number, their eyes widened in fright, but then nodded like it was expected——

【That’s true ah, with this cast even if the first episode’s ratings hit 2.3, it’s not that surprising ah…】

Yes, “Vie for Supremacy” average rating was 2.3! And the highest rating was 2.55!

These ratings could be said to be the top ratings this year. Even for “Ambush” that has just ended, and had the highest ratings for dramas in the same time slot across the country, its highest rating had only barely cross 2, while its average ratings had never went over 2. Compared to other dramas, “Ambush” was already extremely outstanding, but compared to “Vie for Supremacy”, there was no comparison at all!

Furthermore, this was just the first day.

“Vie for Supremacy” was a daily drama, as long as the plot doesn’t have too many holes, its ratings would continue to rise.

When Rong Xu learned about the ratings, he was a little surprised, but could still accept it. He was sitting in Luo Zhentao’s office looking through some role notices as smiled, saying: “Actually, this is quite normal. I heard that the films Tang jie appears in has always have high ratings. Starting from her debut to now, as long as she appears in a drama, she has never failed.”

Luo Zhentao laughed when he heard this: “Then you don’t know enough about this, Xiao Xu, Tang Menglan this person is a bit too lucky, only one of her films did not get the highest ratings within the same time slot, everything else got first place. However, she is also a bit unlucky. Her movies’ box office sales aren’t that high, making it difficult for her to switch.”
