The fight for the summer vacation season started in mid-July and major domestic broadcasting platforms and movie and television forums were paying attention to the performance.

Flowers in a Mirror and the Moon Reflected in the Lake successfully occupied first in the viewing volume after the third day of airing, followed by the workplace drama Investment Elite and the sci-fi drama Gene Project. The leading actors of these dramas were all first-tier actors and brought their own fan base.

Of course, out of the hundreds of millions of views, many of them were repeated clicks and this was well known inside the circle. Still, it was better than Folding Paper which had less than 10 million views.

This was also a drama produced by Tianxuan but Folding Paper was ranked outside the top 10. This was the worst-performing one out of all the dramas Tianxuan invested in. Several broadcasting platforms who talked with Pei Shaoze watched it with a bit of gloating. President Pei's first investment had become a 'terrible loss.' It was miserable!

The first week passed quickly and many of the broadcasting websites scrambled to open the members 'advance-on-demand' mode.

Most of these IP dramas were more than 40 episodes in length. It adopted the two episodes broadcasted daily or four episodes broadcasted weekly method. If one was willing to spend money on 'advance-on-demand', they could watch more episodes than everyone else. One episode was usually 2 yuan.

Flowers in a Mirror and the Moon Reflected in the Lake started the advanced-on-demand mode and the plot happened to be stuck at the stage where the two protagonists had good feelings toward each other. The fans of the artists supported their idols and were naturally willing to spend money. However, there were a large number of people following the drama who weren't in the fan circle and didn't know how to increase data or views. They were just idle and watched dramas to pass the time. They already had to pay to be a member and now they had to spend money to watch it ahead of time? They naturally weren't happy.

The pay rate for the advance-on-demand model wasn't optimistic. Pei Shaoze estimated from the number of barrages and official clicks that the audience pay rate of the top three shows was less than 30%. A large number of the stacking episodes group and the waiting for it to finish group weren't willing to spend money to watch it in advance. If they wanted to watch then didn't they just need to wait two weeks?

On the Folding Paper side, the 10th episode was broadcasted but the plot was stuck in a subtle place. Pei Shaoze asked the editor to make the plot stuck in the part where Qin Nian fell unconscious and went to the hospital for an examination, only to find that he had differentiated into an omega!

Cheng Xia acted very well in this scene. When he auditioned, he relied on this scene to impress the director and author of the original novel.

The teenager always thought he was an alpha only to suddenly discover that omega pheromones had appeared in his body. He started to laugh and joke with the doctor, thinking it was the doctor who made a mistake. Then after seeing the check-up report, his eyes widened slightly. On the surface, it didn't matter but in fact, he was actually struggling in his heart. Once the doctor and his sister went out, Qin Nian lowered his eyes in a daze and the audience was very distressed for him.

Subsequently, Linghu TV announced how to watch the remaining episodes of Folding Paper. It wasn't the member's advance-on-demand mode but the box outfit profit split mode which was similar to the buyout mode of online movies.

In other words, if they wanted to watch the later episodes then they had to spend money to buy it. They could watch the drama at any time after buying it by logging into Linghu TV with their ID. If they really wanted to wait then they could watch it for free once the 'movie and television copyright protection period' of half a month. This was waiting six months. It was a completely different concept from waiting two weeks! The advance-on-demand mode meant they could spend money to watch it in advance or wait two weeks to watch it without spending money.
