Chapter 391: Five-second shot, ratings skyrocket
Director's room.
Chief Director Yu Lei looked at the ratings on the screen with concern, which were only 15.02%.
It can only be considered a mediocre viewership.
It is still far from being truly excellent.
So even though the audience reacted enthusiastically, he didn't react much.
The current ratings are still far from his expectations.
It must be because of the negative news about Su Chen that affected the ratings!
Thinking about how I had repeatedly warned others, someone still leaked the information about Su Chen's rehearsal.
Yu Lei was so angry that his teeth were itching!
Just wait and see how I’ll deal with you!
If we really conduct a thorough investigation, we may not be able to find out who leaked the information!
Coincidentally, at this moment, the "Happy and Auspicious Year" song and dance performance ended and the photographer cut the shot.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the camera was focused on the waiting room where Su Chen and others were.
Su Chen, who was at the innermost position, folded his arms across his chest and looked seriously at everyone in his studio, checking their clothes and condition.
Yang Mi, Zhao Liying and Deng Ziqi gathered together, whispering something.
Three talented singers, Zhou Shen, Liang Bo and Teacher Xiao Gang, gathered together to exchange their singing and pronunciation techniques.
The younger trio, Upward, were more playful and were each watching videos on their phones.
Looking at such a luxurious lineup, the audience was instantly excited.
At almost the same time, in the control room, chief director Yu Lei almost dropped his eyes to the ground as he watched the ratings soar suddenly like a rocket.
It was not until this moment that he realized firsthand how terrifying Su Chen's audience appeal was.
Just a simple shot of less than five seconds made the ratings soar from 15.02% to 20.16%!
It’s higher than the average ratings of last year’s Spring Festival Gala!
This is Su Chen!
A short five-second shot has already set the internet on fire.
"Brother Chen is so cool, he feels like a celebrity godfather!"
"Yes, yes. And tonight's Big Honey is so beautiful! You can tell that real effort was put into the costume!"
"Oh my god, Su Chen's mere presence makes my heart beat faster. His aura is so fascinating!"
…
"Hurry, hurry, prepare for the second show!"
In the director's room, chief director Yu Lei gave the order decisively.
He wanted to take advantage of Su Chen's momentum to maintain the ratings.
Soon, at his urging, the second program: the song "Sense of the Times" came on stage.
The singers of this song are the representative of powerful actor Deng Chao and the powerful singer Li Yuchun.
Because this is the stage for the Spring Festival Gala, the stage sound and lighting effects are top-notch.
However, looking at the live broadcast.
Netizens did not buy it, and they began to complain:
"The tone of this song really makes me uncomfortable. It's like a staid Chinese teacher reciting ancient poetry, without any emotion."
"It's the same tune as the previous songs. My ears are almost callused from listening to them. There is absolutely no innovation at all . Bad review!"
In short, netizens have always been opposed to songs that sound like they have no substance and whose melodies are not good.
And as this wave of discontent spread, voices attacking Su Chen appeared again on the Internet:
"If you ask me, the things we should watch during the Spring Festival Gala should be programs that interest everyone, such as Su Chen's Chinese Kung Fu, which is our traditional Chinese culture."
"But it's a pity that Su Chen is so arrogant that he thinks people like us are not worthy of him showing us kung fu."
The weird thing is.
This time, Su Chen's fans did not make any rebuttal.
Because they actually agree with these statements in their hearts.
Obviously everyone wants to see it, so why are you unwilling to perform it?
As long as you agree to perform, we can easily blast those who oppose you and make them quit the Internet.
Brother Chen is as unique as ever!
This makes them feel like they are disappointed in their loved ones.
For a time, the situation on the Internet became even more unfriendly to Su Chen!
In the director's room.
Director Yu Lei looked at these comments on the Internet and couldn't help feeling helpless.
But he had no dissatisfaction, because Su Chen's two Chinese-style songs were so amazing.
In his opinion, Su Chen's two new songs are more than enough to rival his Chinese Kung Fu, and even better.
Thinking of this, director Yu Lei couldn't help but start looking forward to the ratings when Su Chen's two new songs were released.
At this time, the Spring Festival Gala stage also began to interact with the online platform in real time.
Many netizens suggested that Su Chen’s studio should go on stage earlier so that they could go to bed early after watching them.
But the program list has already been arranged, so it is naturally impossible to make temporary changes.
After the interactive session, the skit "Father and Son" began.
Through this skit, Yu Lei wants to correct the traditional concept of contemporary Chinese parents that "obedient children are good children."
He thinks that the audience will support such an educational program, right?
But to his surprise, after the show, the ratings did not increase but decreased, and suddenly dropped to 12%.
It directly created a new historical low!
People on the Internet couldn't help but start complaining:
"These shows are really one worse than the other. What kind of people are in the director team? They don't understand the public's taste at all!"
"Oh, I feel like this Spring Festival Gala will be the same as last year. I fell asleep while watching it."
"I see you upstairs."
…
Chief director Yu Lei's face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it. He never imagined that the shame of Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala would be born in his hands.
You know, for this Spring Festival Gala, he invited all the hottest stars of the moment, and the lineup is quite luxurious.
But, the current ratings have fallen below the average!!!
Now, he can only hope for the performance of Su Chen and the artists under Su Chen's studio.
This is his trump card. If this card doesn't work, he will probably have to retire from the entertainment industry after tonight.
"Su Chen, Su Chen, whether I can hold my head up high tomorrow depends entirely on you."
Yu Lei was muttering to himself weakly.
Under various pressures, the fourth show came on stage, which was still a skit.
Unexpectedly.
The ratings of this show reached an astonishing 20%!!!
It is worth mentioning that the two clowns in this sketch are: Zeng Yike and Fan Chengcheng.
However, the two parties involved were not in a good mood.
Because during their performance.
A large number of audiences at the scene mocked, laughed at, and even cursed at them!
After finishing their performance, they returned to the lounge where everyone was together.
They looked at each other and found that both of them looked unhappy.
Just one glance and both parties understood instantly!
Pretending to be calm, he sat back in his seat.
We are both wanderers in this world, so why should we know each other when we meet?
In their opinion.
Everything they suffered was caused by Su Chen!
However, they had to admit.
If he hadn’t been Su Chen’s background before.
It has gained enough popularity on the Internet.
They don't even have the qualifications to stand on the Xixi TV stage.
However, there is more to it than that.
When they take out their mobile phones to browse the internet.
Shocking discovery.
Because of their embarrassing performance this time, the two of them successfully made it to the hot search list!
only.
But it’s not a good hot search.
Netizens were extremely sarcastic towards both of them:
"Zeng Yike and Fan Chengcheng should be grateful that they once shared the stage with Brother Chen!"
"Two paragons of Blackfire!"
"Are you showing off in front of Brother Chen? Do you want to use Brother Chen as a backdrop? Why don't you look in the mirror and see what a piece of shit you are!"
"Congratulations, you guys finally rode on Brother Chen's popularity and made it to the Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala!"
“…”
In the control room, chief director Yu Lei looked at the ratings in disbelief.
He was surprised to find that after the skit ended, the ratings actually rebounded to 20%!
Considering the fact that the ratings started to soar after Su Chen and the others were given a shot, he couldn't help but start to speculate:
Is it possible that anyone related to Su Chen will become increasingly popular?
Next, the musical phrase "Spring Returns to All Things" and the song "Ten Thousand Miles of Spring Breeze" were performed on stage one after another and completed smoothly.
Next, the third skit of this Spring Festival Gala: "Don't Return It Yet"
Director Yu Lei was shocked, as he had finally waited for something.
The reason why he paid so much attention to this sketch was because Zhao Liying from Su Chen Studio participated in it!
In the first two programs, the ratings gradually dropped, which made him anxious.
Afraid of repeating the previous 12% ratings shame.
Fortunately, a savior has now arrived.
With the sweet-looking Zhao Liying's official appearance on stage, audiences once again flocked to the Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala.
Chief Director Yu Lei clenched his fists tightly as he watched the ratings continue to rise.
When the skit ended and Zhao Liying and other actors bowed to the audience in front of the screen, the ratings soared to 25.06%!
This made Yu Lei very happy. It turned out to be Su Chen.
As long as the work involves people related to Su Chen, it must be a masterpiece!
"Liying's acting skills are getting better and better. When I watched her, I almost forgot that she is a star."
"Yes, with the participation of our Liying, this skit has become even more exciting!"
In Xixi TV's online live broadcast room, netizens were also full of praise, all praising Zhao Liying's performance.
However, some celebrity fans who were hostile to Su Chen and his studio could not stand their praise and jumped out to attack and ridicule him again:
"This skit is just so-so! As promised, we are all fans!"
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if the ratings were lower when Su Chen appeared? Hahahaha!"
"Don't tell me, how many people like to listen to two unreliable new songs?"
"The worst performance at the Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Rat must be Su Chen!"
“…”
In a residential area somewhere.
Zhao Liying's parents sat in front of the TV, watching their daughter shining on the stage, and couldn't help but shed tears of both relief and regret.
When Zhao Liying first said that she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, her father and mother were actually strongly against it.
Because they felt that the entertainment industry was too complicated, and it was impossible for Zhao Liying, a girl without any background, to make a name for herself just by her passion.
What's more, the two elders often heard about some dirty things about the entertainment industry, and they felt that the entire industry was a pool of sewage.
I am worried that Zhao Liying will be deceived by the bad guys inside and end up accomplishing nothing and getting hurt.
So, they were very annoyed during the first five years when Zhao Liying entered the entertainment industry.
I joined an entertainment company called Xingyi, and thought I could get on the right track, but who knew I would end up being just a supporting actor!
Zhao's father therefore repeatedly advised her to change her career and not waste her youth in the entertainment industry, but she decisively refused.
Zhao Liying refuses to admit defeat and she doesn't think she will always be a supporting actress.
The sharpness of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
She firmly believes that as long as she keeps working hard, the day will come when gold will shine again.
So, on the eve of joining Su Chen's studio, she rejected the stable job that Zhao's father found for her in his hometown.
Seeing that the woman refused to listen to advice, Zhao's father and mother became even more annoyed, and they almost broke off their relationship with her several times.
But the two elders never expected that Zhao Liying would soar to fame after joining Su Chen's studio.
In just a few months, my daughter has become so famous!
With just two TV series, Su Chen transformed his daughter from an unknown extra into a top actress standing in front of the national audience!
Pride, regret, guilt, all kinds of complicated emotions surged in the hearts of the two elders.
But in the end, it turned into an intense joy!
Thanks to Su Chen, if it weren’t for Boya’s keen eye for talent and his repeated support.
I don’t know how many more years my daughter will have to play supporting roles and endure countless cold stares and ridicules!
The "Sanxingdui Cultural Relics Release Ceremony" hosted by Zhang Guoli and Ran Honglin was inserted on the Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala stage.
Watching the exquisite cultural relics carrying a strong historical atmosphere flashing on the TV screen, all Chinese audiences felt a strong sense of national pride in their hearts.
The ratings at this time successfully reached 22.88%!
Netizens were full of praise for the show:
"This program is really meaningful. Seeing so many cultural relics unearthed, I seem to see again the ancient civilization that shines so brightly in the long river of history."
"This is our cultural heritage as the only ancient civilization left in the world. Thumbs up!"
“…”
The chief director Yu Lei seemed to understand what netizens were thinking, and the dance "Golden Face Dance" with the theme of Sanxingdui culture took over the stage.
When graceful and agile actors wearing golden masks danced on the stage, the ancient Sanxingdui civilization seemed to come alive and reappear in the world.
Backstage.
Zhang Guoli, who had just retired, was in high spirits and felt extremely proud.
After he took the stage, the ratings soared to 22.88%, which has surpassed the average ratings of the Spring Festival Gala.
Comparing his previous performances with low ratings, he believes that his audience appeal and influence are still quite strong.
Hearing that the next person to appear seemed to be Liang Bo from Su Chen's studio, he couldn't help but sneer.
When Zhang Guoli heard Su Chen's name, he felt a little angry.
At the Feitian Awards, Su Chen actually snatched away the grand prize for Best TV Drama for "Golden Wedding" in which he starred.
Now, on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
I would like to see, whether the ratings of the artists under you, Su Chen, are as good as Zhao Liying?
However, Zhang Guoli felt that that was definitely impossible.
The ratings of Zhao Liying's sketch should be just an accident.
If the performances of talent show singers like Liang Bo had higher ratings than his.
Zhang Guoli doesn’t need to mess around anymore!
Just at this moment.
The performance of "Golden Mask Dance" ended.
Liang Bo, a newcomer from Suchen Studio, is about to perform a song.
