Chapter 95 Chain Reaction, Dark Gold Premiere
Magic City TV.
Variety Channel Office.
Director Teng looked at the report and frowned.
Chang Xiao: "Since we announced internally that Han Zhou would no longer participate in the recording of "Real Challenge"...all northern media began to refuse to report or reprint any news about "Real Challenge."
Director Teng sighed, "The other party didn't spend any money to do this, and they didn't have a falling out with Modu TV. It's just that someone simply said hello."
"Why is it that bad luck happens to me?"
"I need to talk to the station master about this matter."
Chang Xiao: "Director Teng, don't you care about the ratings?"
Director Teng flipped the table over and said, "What the hell are you looking at?"
"Look at the fucking head!"
"I've been doing this for so many years, and finally I have a variety show with a viewership rating of over 2, and it's even about to break 3!"
"They are causing trouble and it's in my hands?"
The people below whispered: "Director, Director Yuan..."
Director Teng shouted: "Yes, Deputy Director Yuan!"
That person: "Deputy Director Yuan made a decision that we can't accept..."
Director Teng: "Bullshit, do you think I don't know what Yuan is thinking?"
"Deputy Director Ma is about to retire. Who is the next deputy director now?"
"Once the ratings of 'Real Challenge' exceed three, no matter who does it or how, the position of deputy station director will be mine!"
"The year after next, Director Zhang will retire the year after next."
"If I am made deputy director now, in three years, there will be no chance for someone with the surname Yuan."
"He just wants to use this incident to mess with me."
"Do you think I can keep silent about this loss?"
Director Teng overturned the table, which made a loud noise, but no one in the office dared to come and get into trouble.
Director Teng arrived at the director's office very quickly.
Then Director Teng’s fierce and angry curses were heard from inside.
Soon, Deputy Director Yuan was drinking tea while listening to the description of his subordinates, with his son-in-law accompanying him.
Yuan Lei smiled: "No matter how he makes trouble, it has nothing to do with me."
Is there any compensation for this matter?
Can Director Zhang create a variety show with a viewership rating of over 3 out of thin air to compensate Director Teng?
cannot.
Can Director Teng bear it?
cannot.
So what will happen in the end?
It was nothing more than that the man named Teng finally left the Magic City TV station with his own personal resources.
It is possible that "Real Challenge" will be brought out of Shanghai TV.
But...what does this have to do with my surname Yuan? Get out of here quickly. I don't want to see you anymore.
This is called killing three birds with one stone.
He presented the situation to the organizing committee of the Shanghai Film Festival, killed his competitor, and then made it clear that he wanted to compete for the position of director, letting everyone in the Shanghai TV station know about it.
Deputy Director Yuan Lei's son-in-law Chu Hualong whispered: "But this matter is not good for us."
"We did offend Tian Le, and also that Han Zhou."
"Although Han Zhou is a nobody now, he represents Tianle's attitude, and the future of such a person is uncertain. Before this person came to "Real Challenge", the ratings of "Real Challenge" were only one percent."
"These kinds of variety show stars are the ones we in the TV industry cannot afford to offend."
"Based on his development trajectory, he may not be the number one figure in the future."
Yuan Lei took a sip of tea: "Oh? Did I offend him?"
"Hualong, you are still too young. There are no losers in this matter."
Deputy Director Yuan’s son-in-law, Chu Hualong, the executive president of Rick Media, was a little confused.
Deputy Director Yuan took out an invitation letter.
Deputy Director Yuan: "My old classmate asked me to nominate a Chinese list for the Candler Global 100 Stunning Faces male and female celebrities selection event, with four females and five males."
"I'll stuff Han Zhou in."
"Next time he sees me, he has to thank me."
"Also, the cover character of the next issue of Southern Entertainment Magazine will be Han Zhou."
Chu Hualong was even more confused.
Is the reward proportional to the effort?
Yuan Lei pointed to his temple and said, "You need to use your brain to do things. Don't think I'm cruel. Why do so many celebrities wish me a happy new year during festivals?"
“Sometimes, the benefits are not as simple as they seem on the surface.”
"In fact, this spot was taken by someone. It was definitely Han Zhou's."
"But we need a name to put him in."
"And this time, you can use the Joker twice. Do you understand?"
Chu Hualong reacted: "Someone is pushing Han Zhou from behind?"
"who?"
Yuan Lei: "Who should I ask if you ask me this? Don't you understand? Don't just look at the surface when doing things. Even if I tell you who it is, is it really him? Who asked this person to come to me to do this?"
"You just need to know that for the next three years, Han Zhou will not be active on Modu TV."
"But three years later, Zhang will leave and I will take over, and Han Zhou will come to our stage again."
“What do you think the outside world will think?”
It was obviously Deputy Director Yuan who kicked Han Zhou out, but three years later, others would think that it was Director Zhang who did it, and Deputy Director Yuan reconnected Han Zhou to the Magic City Station, and the two sides put aside their grievances and resumed their relationship.
When it comes to dealing with people and doing things, Yuan Lei is a smart man who knows exactly what to do.
All along, relying on the means of creating something out of nothing and borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, Yuan Lei has achieved what he is today from a poor rural student.
The sophistication of the means is not visible to outsiders.
What can people in the station see, what do people in the circle outside the station see, and what do ordinary audiences know?
When you look at something from different angles, you see completely different situations.
And each one is most beneficial to Yuan Lei.
The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune. For fame and fortune, some people are righteous, some keep themselves out of trouble, and some are constantly doing shady things.
But, how many things are on the table?
…
Chang Xiao looked at the ratings list and said, "Without media coverage this time, the ratings dropped by 0.34."
"The ratings for the last episode were close to breaking 3, but now they are only 2.6."
"Without Han Zhou in the next episode, the ratings will drop even more. The most terrifying thing is the finale, because some viewers already know that Han Zhou will never appear on the show again, and the ratings may drop below 2."
Director Teng: "Is it possible to maintain the number one ratings during the same period of time?"
Chang Xiao pointed at the list and said, "That's impossible. Look at this."
Director Teng looked over.
Jinling Lychee Terrace, "The Voice of Dark Gold".
Last week, the pilot film was broadcast online with a viewership of 170 million times.
If we exclude those who refreshed the screen repeatedly or closed the video after taking a quick look, at least 15 million people have watched the trailer.
This week, the average viewership of "Dark Gold Voice", which was broadcast at the same time as "Real Challenge", was as high as 1.4.
If the average viewership was just 1.4, "Real Challenge" would not take "The Voice of Dark Gold" seriously.
However, when the second PK match of this episode of "The Voice of Dark Gold" was broadcast, Zhou Quanou, a first-line veteran male singer, chose to reveal his mask on the spot.
It was at that time that the topic directly topped the Weibo hot search list.
#Zhou Quanou's "Voice of Dark Gold" was eliminated! #
The onlookers were all stunned.
A singer of Zhou Quanou’s level participated in a singing competition and got eliminated?
From that time on, the ratings of "The Voice of Dark Gold" began to rise.
People who come to watch the show just go and take a look. If you want to keep the audience, then the quality of the show depends on it.
In fact, since that time, the ratings of "The Voice of Dark Gold" have continued to soar.
It reached its climax when the Red Ducks sang "First Experience of Love".
Break two!
Currently in the variety show market, among the quarterly variety shows, the second existing variety show to break the two-year mark has appeared!
Although the average viewership was only 1.4, this was because the new variety show only had a viewership of 0.8 when it started, and the viewership was taken over from the schedule.
By the end of the first episode, the ratings exceeded 2.
It has been proven that this variety show is going to be a huge hit!
Director Teng opened the Weibo super topic.
I quickly found the show’s super topic.
I took a look at it, and then looked at the trending search list.
It’s scary, this new show has seven trending searches!
#Who is the Red Duck? #
#Who is Hope? #
#Who is Black Rose? #
#Red Duck "First Experience of Love"#
#The big devil is suspected to be the quasi-king#
#The Great Devil was defeated#
#Lu Jin and Yang Cong join the guessing group of "Voice of Dark Gold"#
Director Teng clicked on one of them at random.
"Black Rose's voice is so powerful, I feel like she might be the veteran diva Suri!"
"It can't be Su Rui, Su Rui's voice is even better. If this person is a veteran diva, then it must be Zhang Ling who retired 20 years ago."
"Is it possible that Asha, the lead singer of the Flying Band, is going solo?"
"I think it might be An Lan."
"Impossible, An Lan's voice is in better condition and her timbre is much better!"
"But it's possible that An Lan deliberately lowered her voice when singing. It does have a bit of An Lan's style. This kind of power is rarely shown by female singers in the music world now. An Lan's power is recognized to be strong."
Director Teng exited this trending search and clicked on the entry #希望谁#.
"I hope it's An Lan!"
"I also think it 's An Lan, but this song is not suitable for An Lan to explode."
Director Teng is mentally broken.
How come An Lan was clearly recording our "Real Challenge" show, but her popularity was taken away by "The Voice of Dark Gold"?
Director Teng clicked on the third entry.
"Who is the red-skinned duck? First we have to rule out Chen Yin and Han Zhou."
"Why exclude Han Zhou? Red Duck's creative ability is so strong, and he is a bit similar to Han Zhou!"
"Did you skip around? Lu Jin clearly said Han Zhou was filming in Tang City."
"Ah?? Han Zhou is filming in Tang City? Hurry over and meet him!"
"It's definitely not Han Zhou. The other big devil said that the red-skinned duck looked like he didn't have any singing skills, but he actually showed amazing singing skills. It's very difficult for an adult to sing like an 18-year-old boy!"
"So the question is, who is the big devil Searchlight?"
"Hahaha, Searchlight lost, which means the red-skinned duck is the big devil."
"Red Duck is good at composing music, but his singing skills are not as good as Tanzhao's. I think Tanzhao sings better."
"Haha, if you lose, you lose. Of course the red-skinned duck is stronger. Your mouth is harder than a duck's."
Next, the two people in the discussion greeted each other's family members.
Director Teng’s eyes went dark.
Some people were even discussing whether the big devil should give up his troops.
You have taken advantage of my popularity as a guest, how shameless of you!
But Director Teng realized that this is the charm of "The Voice of Dark Gold"!
"If we keep the original team in True Challenge and break through level three, then no matter how strong Dark Gold Voice is, it won't affect us... Now..."
Chang Xiao also sighed: "It was so hard to successfully revise the program, but once the ratings drop, sponsorship advertising will also decrease. After the production costs are reduced, the ratings will enter a vicious cycle..."
Director Teng slammed the table and said, "Yuan! He tricked us this time!"
"Chang Xiao, you said I should transplant the second season of this program to other TV stations..."
Chang laughed: "I'm afraid this is not easy to do."
Director Teng thought silently.
…
On the list of new music on music software.
On the new song list, "The First Experience of Love" by Red Duckling topped the list.
On the hot song chart, "First Experience of Love" debuted at number 94 and then quickly soared.
There are many viewers who have watched the show and are playing the song on repeat.
There is also the effect of deliberate operation by the program team.
In the song comment section, many netizens were discussing who these singers are.
"It's really hard to imagine who the Red Duck is with this style."
"To have completed a joyous tragedy to this extent."
"It's really joyful to listen to, but it's really sad just by looking at the lyrics."
"It's hard to guess the red duck, so why don't we think about who the big devil Searchlight is?"
"Could it be possible that Searchlight is Chen Feng? If Chen Feng sings a pop song, would the sound be somewhat similar to this Searchlight?"
"I think it might be Tang Jie."
"But Tang Jie's voice characteristics are a little thinner in the small zither group 4, not so thick."
"It's obvious that this singer added a bit of metallic voice when singing "The Rain That Came", which covered up the true thickness of the voice of the small zither group 4. It's possible that his voice itself is relatively thin."
Netizens who don’t understand vocal music: “What are you guys talking about? I don’t understand. Fuck you!”
"Who cares what he's talking about? It sounds good!"
"Hope is also very strong. Zhou Quanou was hung up and hammered by Hope."
“It’s hard to imagine that veteran first-line singer Zhou Quanou lost so badly.”
"Haha, didn't Zhou Quanou say that he was preparing for the concert and didn't have much time to prepare for this topic? He underestimated his opponent. If he had spent more time on this topic, he definitely wouldn't have lost so badly."
"Hahaha, so what you mean is that even if Zhou Quanou prepares hard, he will still lose in the end, right?"
"I think she should be at the level of a quasi-diva, or at least have certain qualities that reach the level of a quasi-diva. If this is her upper limit, then she should be a veteran first-line singer, or a first-line female singer with a very strong quality. If this is not her true level, then she is a quasi-diva, or even a diva."
"In that case, Black Rose is also very strong. She started out as a first-tier singer and may even be a future queen."
"Haha, the worst one is the Rubik's Cube."
At this time, a male singer pretending to be surnamed Wang was holding a Rubik's Cube helmet at home, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn... You guys are actually serious about this, sneak attack..."
"In the next episode, I'll break your heads!"
"I'd better draw the searchlight in the next issue, so that you can know my strength!"
"Well, it's okay to draw a red duck. I hope I can draw a black rose..."
"Damn, this is a perverted show. Who are the guests invited? Why are they all so strong? No matter what, I must win in the next episode."
After a while, someone in a singer’s WeChat group asked, “Lao Lin, that red-skinned duck isn’t you, is it?”
Lao Lin: "Guess? I want to know, are you searching for a photo?"
Someone immediately came out: "Hope is in the group?"
"Lao Liu, I remember you went to Jinling last week, right?"
Lao Liu: "I didn't participate in the show. I went to Jinling to shoot a commercial, and then I went to Shenzhen."
A group of people were having a lively discussion.
Someone held a poll: "Come on, vote and see."
Soon, the vote on who was stronger within the singer group came out.
Searchlight received twelve votes.
The Red Duck received thirteen votes.
Hope and Black Rose both got eleven votes.
Rubik's Cube zero votes.
Zhou Quanou both got two votes.
The initiator of the vote clenched his fist: "凸(艹皿艹)!"
Chen Feng: "By the way, I saw a lot of people discussing Han Zhou, so I pulled Han Zhou in."
Soon, Han Zhou appeared in the group.
Lao Lin: " Give red envelopes to new members."
[Group member Han Zhou has left the group chat]
Lao Lin: “????”
Lao Liu: "He ran into trouble these past two days and is probably short of money."
Lao Lin was curious: "What's the matter?"
Lao Liu: "The Shanghai Film Festival said they were going to ban Han Zhou, and Brother Feng got angry with them right on the spot!"
Lao Lin: "Roll up your sleeves/JPG, what the hell? The Shanghai Film Festival wants to ban singers? That's quite a big deal!"
Lao Liu: "Han Zhou is also an actor and a director."
Lao Lin: "Wow, I didn't expect him to be such a versatile talent."
Chen Feng invited Han Zhou again.
Han Zhou: "Brother Feng, why did you drag me to this group? Let me tell you, sending red envelopes in a group can easily lead to bank investigations."
"It may involve illegal fundraising."
Lao Lin: “…”
Lao Liu: "Haha, Han Zhou, have you participated in "The Voice of Dark Gold"?"
Han Zhou: "I'm working on a song, so I don't have time to chat right now."
Chen Feng: "What song? Kill That Changshan Man?"
Singer Zhao Dabao, who is from Changshan, said: "??? How did the people from Changshan offend you? Why do you want to kill them?"
"Oh, I'm deeply hurt. I can't get over this without the 200 yuan red envelope."
"It's an eternal knot!"
Chen Feng: "Don't be so hard on me. I have something else to worry about."
"Han Zhou, you wrote "Kill That Changshan Man" for yourself and "The Train is Leaving Soon" for me?"
Han Zhou: "I wrote "The Train is Flying" for you, but you didn't want it. Are you blaming me?"
Liu Yiling@让兵: "Has the train flying fast been released? Please send it to me to listen to?"
[Group member asked Bing to leave the group chat]
…
The second recording of "Voice of Dark Gold" is coming soon.
Lu Jin specifically looked for Han Zhou everywhere in the crew.
I can’t find it.
"Could it be that the red-skinned duck is really my brother Han?"
"Wolong, you didn't tell Fengchu the truth. The group is going to disband!!"
After searching for a long time, Lu Jin finally learned from Ye Manyi that Han Zhou had gone to the recording studio to record "Kill That Changshan Man".
Lu Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, the red-skinned duck can't be my brother Han."
"It's impossible for my brother Han to record another song when the show is about to start, right?!"
"So, who is the Red Duck?"
Lu Jin, wearing sunglasses, a hat and a scarf, saw a familiar figure on the platform of the train station.
"Um?"
"Who is this person? Brother Daming?"
"No, could it be Brother Bing?"
"Is Brother Bing going to Jinling too?"
"Brother Bing's singing voice is completely different from that of the Great Demon King Tanzhao. It's definitely not him."
"Magic Cube...If you say that Magic Cube is Brother Bing, Brother Bing will definitely be angry. Magic Cube is too weak, so he is definitely not my Brother Bing."
"I see, Brother Bing is this episode's new guest!"
"Hahaha, it's me as expected. I know who the new guest is before the second episode is even recorded, hahahaha!!! Watch my performance in this episode!!!"
"So, is Brother Bing the big devil of this issue, or is he the big devil Tanzhao of the previous issue?"
"It's not a Rubik's Cube anyway."
