As the clear female singing voice sounded on the TV wall, people felt as if they were hearing the warmth of spring and the flowers were blooming. They felt warm in their hearts, and many people had a trace of emotion on their faces.
"Youth is my favorite song in recent times. This female singer's cover is really good, although it's still a little bit different from Qinglian Sword Fairy's singing voice!"
"Hey, the singing voice of this golden-eared rabbit sounds very familiar."
"Who do you think she is?"
"Is it Rhianna?"
"Rhianna is a Hong Kong singer, why would she go to the mainland?"
"Please, even Huang Wenjun is on the judging panel, what else is possible about this?"
"Alas, there are too many celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan who are leaving the mainland to make money."
ATV Chinese channel live room.
Ten minutes after the third episode of The Masked Singer started, Wang Changxu raised his wrist to look at the time, and asked with dry lips: "How much is it?"
"3!" the operator replied hurriedly.
Sha Yaqing looked on, looking a little nervous.
3. Although the ratings are a bit higher than usual, this number is obviously not enough for Mr. Wang’s expected goal.
You know, the most popular TV program today has a ratings of 29, which means that the number of viewers in Hong Kong has exceeded 2 million.
Although this is not the highest ratings record in Hong Kong's history, it is definitely the first in ratings in Hong Kong today.
The gap between 3 points and 29 points is obviously not something that can be made up in a short while, and it is almost a lifetime series, which is simply disappointing.
“Wait a little longer, wait a little longer”
Wang Changxu turned pale and muttered to himself.
At this time, the noise continued, and as a burst of footsteps approached, the door of the control room of the live broadcast room was pushed open, and a group of people walked in quickly, "Sheng Wang, how are the ratings?"
Wang Changxu and others looked back and saw the station director Liao Jingtao and the station director's assistant Xiang Wenhua approaching with a group of people.
Facing Liao Jingtao's inquiry, Wang Changxu's face was expressionless. He seemed to be in no mood to talk.
Sha Yaqing quickly added: "3 points."
Director Liao frowned, "So few?"
Sha Yaqing nodded, and suddenly he felt something was wrong.
3 points is usually a good rating. Normally, if the channel’s ratings can exceed 5 points, it would be a blessing.
But why would the director think it was less?
Could it be that the station manager also has great expectations for The Masked Singer?
But this isn’t right either!
That’s not how the rumored script was written!
A trace of doubt arose in Sha Yaqing's heart.
Assistant to the station director Xiang Wenhua said at this time: "The complaints department has just received complaints from thousands of people, but compared with the previous incident on the English channel, the intensity of the complaints this time is much smaller, and"
Before Xiang Wenhua could finish speaking, Director Liao couldn't wait to ask: "Sheng Wang, have you bought an advertising space in Times Square?"
Wang Changxu looked surprised. He couldn't help but ask: "What advertising space?"
Xiang Wenhua sneered and said, "The broadcast content of your Chinese channel is being played on the display screen in Times Square. Don't you know?"
Wang Changxu looked at Xiang Wenhua seriously, and after confirming that he was not joking, his heart gradually became cold.
He doesn't care who bought the advertising space
But with ads placed in such a large advertising space, it can’t even boost the ratings of the Chinese channel.
A deep sense of powerlessness rippled in Wang Changxu's heart.
"It's up, it's broken 10!"
At this time, an operator reported loudly.
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
Director Liao said in surprise: "Wasn't it just 7 o'clock?"
Sha Yaqing leaned forward and looked at the ratings data display, and was immediately startled.
What did the operator just say?
1o?
What an international joke!
Isn't it obvious that this is 12?
He said angrily: "Are you stupid? This is 12! Not 1o!"
The operator smiled dryly and said: "That's right, it's 12, but it's not that I'm stupid, it's that the number has risen too fast. Look, it's already 13 points now!"
Hearing what the operator said, almost everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
Sha Yaqing also reacted, his eyes suddenly bulged, he leaned forward and looked over, then he wiped his eyes and looked again.
13! Really 13!
Only more than ten seconds had passed, and a number had jumped!
And this number has already broken ATV’s ratings record in recent years!
He turned around excitedly and looked at Wang Changxu: "Mr. Wang"
Before Sha Yaqing could say anything, he saw Wang Changxu nodding to him, smiling, and suddenly his face turned pale, and then his body swayed.
Before Director Liao had time to taste the joy of the increase in ratings, he saw Wang Changxu forcefully fall to the ground.
His heart skipped a beat, and with quick eyes and hands, he quickly stepped forward to give him a hand, and asked urgently: "Wang Sheng, what's wrong with you?"
"nothing"
Wang Changxu was helped and he stood up reluctantly: "I don't know what happened just now, stars appeared in my head, and my hands and feet were weak for a moment, which made Director Liao laugh."
Seeing that Wang Changxu could stand on his own, Director Liao carefully took back his supporting hand and asked worriedly: "Sheng Wang, although your work is important, you must also pay attention to your health. How old are you now?"
Sha Yaqing was originally a little moved by the friendship between the station director and Mr. Wang, but then suddenly saw the station director change the topic and ask about the ratings, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart and sighed.
So fucking hypocritical
"It's 15!" the operator replied loudly, his voice full of excitement.
15 points, if a new prime-time drama is launched, this is already a blockbuster level.
But on ATV, and it’s a continental variety show, this figure almost has the potential to become a hit!
"How long has the show been on the air?" Director Liao asked again.
The operator replied: "Twenty minutes!"
twenty minutes
Director Liao nodded in surprise.
He had never watched The Masked Singer, nor was he interested in it, but what he didn't expect was that the show was only half way through and it already had such ratings.
If the follow-up is still exciting, then it is almost certain that the ratings will exceed 20 points.
Although the complaints department received more and more complaints, Director Liao had no intention of paying attention to them.
If, like last time, the ratings were so low that it was disappointing and there were so many complaints, he naturally couldn't just sit back and ignore it.
But today's situation is completely different.
The ratings of the Chinese channel are rising steadily. If it breaks through 20 points, even if it is not able to show its strength, it can give ATV a breather.
I told Director Liao that in such a great situation, I will be the first to attack whoever is the first to jump out and object!
"Wang Sheng, you have worked hard, but you still have a keen eye to recognize heroes. If you hadn't bought the broadcast rights of this show, our ratings would not have had any hope of breaking 20 points. Don't worry, if we can break 20 points,
Your contribution is definitely second to none. Well, it seems that the Chinese channel still needs you to hold on for a few more years, so Mr. Wang still needs to take good care of his body."
Compared with his previous attitude of harsh criticism, anger and curses, Liao Jingtao now has a warm smile on his face.
Wang Changxu saw this and felt a retching feeling in his heart for no reason. To be continued.
