Early in the morning, in the CCTV building, Variety Channel Director Yang Lei was surrounded by a group of subordinates as soon as he appeared in the office. Every employee's face was as excited as if they had just gotten married, and their faces were glowing red.
"What's going on?" Yang Lei wondered.
"Boss, you don't know?" Someone shouted: "Didn't you watch "Singer" broadcast on our channel last night?"
Yang Lei's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked: "I didn't have time to see something last night. What's going on? Please tell me!"
"The ratings have skyrocketed, it's over 3%! Take a look!"
Someone handed over last night's ratings report, which listed the ratings curve of the "Singer" program during the broadcast period. From the moment it started broadcasting, the ratings were 0.5% higher than the previous two episodes, and it has been rising even more since it started.
, when "Prairie Eagle" was broadcast, the ratings
It directly reached 2.5%, breaking the previous ratings record. When Zheng Qian started singing "Opera 2", in just a few minutes, the ratings exceeded 3%. Since then, it has been rising all the way. When the program was about to end, the ratings reached the highest
has reached 3.14%.
Yang Lei was inexplicably excited when he saw this upward curve.
"Boss, the ratings of CCTV's set for the same period last night were only 5%. Talents from the comprehensive channel just came and asked us what was going on. I told them what happened. It seemed that they were also jealous and kept asking me about it.
What about Zheng Qian’s situation!”
A production editor stepped forward and said excitedly: "Zheng Qian is really amazing. I never knew he was such a great person before. Without Zheng Qian in the seventh and eighth issues, the ratings have dropped. This ninth
As soon as the preview of the episode started, the ratings stabilized. When the show started airing, the ratings skyrocketed. When he sang last night, his high notes made me tingle all over. Our daughter has never been star-struck, but after listening to Zheng Qian's
The diva has been asking me for tickets to the finals!"
Yang Lei nodded, called a few subordinates into the office, and then began to think.
He knew Zheng Qian, and he was almost entirely responsible for the rise in ratings not long ago. At that time, director Song Weifeng also said that Zheng Qian had no confidence in advancing and signed up for another program "Chinese Idol" on Hunan Satellite TV, and
He passed the interview, but later Zheng Qian was promoted one after another.
Therefore, he had a deep impression on Zheng Qian, and he did not expect that he would achieve great success again this time.
He even felt a little reluctant to let go of this guy. He really wanted to get another sponsorship and hold a singing competition.
However, because "Chinese Idol", a giant aircraft carrier program, was about to start, Yang Lei also knew that there would be almost no talent show to do next. If he and the giant were to compete head-on, whoever gets on would definitely die, so he gave up this idea.
He thought for a moment and said: "In this way, the promotion of the "Program Group" finals must keep up. In addition, during this period, we will conduct exclusive interviews with several key players, and Zheng Qian, find an opportunity to talk to him,
When "Chinese Idol" ends, it will at least be until October. In October, doesn't our channel plan to launch a talent show called "Avenue of Stars"? Make an appointment with him to make an announcement."
"Let him come to the draft?" the assistant director was a little dumbfounded.
Yang Lei laughed angrily: "What are you thinking? Of course he is here to be a judge! He is capable and professional enough, and has a bright future. If you let him be a contestant, will your brains grow?"
The assistant wrote down with an embarrassed look on his face. He thought that Mr. Yang was going to put up a show and let Zheng Qian come to the audition. He was shocked. Zheng Qian is now more or less a small-timer. He will go to "Chinese Idol" to be gilded later.
, get a good ranking, and suddenly become the backbone of the music industry. Isn't it humiliating for such a famous singer to come to the audition? Fortunately, he is here to be a judge.
However, the 23-year-old judge!
The assistant clicked his tongue.
"Singer" is just a test program of the variety show channel, while "Avenue of Stars" is the highlight of the channel, providing a stage for ordinary workers from all walks of life across the country to sing loudly and express themselves.
Moreover, it is a project that the director of CCTV has personally approved, and it will be linked with this year’s Spring Festival Gala.
All contestants who win the program finals will be sent directly to the stage of the 2006 Spring Festival Gala.
The planning of this show has just begun, the news is only circulated internally, and very few people know about it.
In fact, if "Chinese Idol" hadn't come out, "Avenue of Stars" might have been held two months earlier, but now, it will naturally be postponed.
At the same time, with the rerun of the ninth episode of "Singer", the song "Opera 2" has also begun to gain popularity rapidly. While it has received a lot of praise, some viewers have also expressed doubts about Zheng Qian.
"What else can this Zheng Qian do besides soaring high notes? Listen to his old songs, they are all nonsense, there is no emotion at all!"
"Indeed, I am impressed by his high notes. On the competitive stage, high-pitched singers do have a huge advantage. No matter how good your singing skills are, if you meet a high-pitched singer on the scene, you will automatically be shorter. I think this is unfair."
"Yes, from a professional point of view, Zheng Qian's singing skills are quite solid, but that's all. His singing has no emotion, except for hitting high notes, it's still hitting high notes!"
"I think the current trend is very bad. I'm not targeting this Zheng Qian. I'm targeting those who blindly pursue high notes and blindly imitate Zheng Qian. Beautiful high notes can indeed shock people, but painting a tiger is not anti-canine.
The facts are also established. Nowadays, many people think that they are dolphin princes. The higher the decibel, the higher the pitch. The result? There are boiling kettles all over the street!"
"I agree. I am disgusted with contestants who excessively pursue showing off their skills in this kind of talent show. It has ruined the atmosphere of the music industry!"
"Zheng Qian, a singer, is basically useless except for his high notes!"
"He just relies on God to give him food. Without his high notes, he is nothing!"
With the rapid popularity of "Opera 2", these doubts spread rapidly in major media and on the Internet, and supporters abounded. For a time, pressure from all aspects came to Zheng Qian rapidly.
However, the person involved, Zheng Qian, turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window and only wanted to roll the iron.
Yuexiang Entertainment Company.
More than a month of fitness and muscle building has caused Zheng Qian's weight to rise rapidly, reaching 65 kilograms. Now he can be regarded as a slim man when he wears clothes and has flesh when he takes off his clothes. His abdominal muscles also have faint lines, especially when he does sit-ups.
At such a speed, a group of female jackals in the office hall were drooling at the sight. This male's dog-like strength really opened their eyes.
After all, idols at this stage are still in a soft state, and there are very few idols who pay attention to body shaping.
And Zheng Qian sweats profusely every day, eats protein powder, and supplements various nutritious meats, and his training is indeed not in vain. After another month, his physical training will be almost done.
Today, the company's contracted actor Meng Haitao is back. He has been filming in the Western Film and Television City for more than a month. He is tanned and tanned. He is only thirty years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. When he came back, he did not exchange a few words.
, he started picking up the phone book and making frantic calls to answer jobs.
It has to be said that Meng Haitao has a very strong sense of crisis and cannot take any time off.
He has no agent, holds two positions, and earns double wages. When he was a child, his family was too poor, which led to his desire for money that is different from ordinary people. Now, although he has enough food and clothing, he still wants to buy a house in the capital, start a family, marry a wife and have children.
There is still some pressure, not to mention that my hometown still has parents who are farmers and six poor younger brothers and sisters.
But he is still very good in person, and he is very principled in everything he does. He is very popular in the company. When recording the ninth episode of "Singer" not long ago, guest Yu Lei said that Meng Haitao asked her to be on the show during the crew.
Please take more care of your junior, Zheng Qian.
At this time, Meng Haitao finished the phone call, his expression was very bad, and he sat on the stairs and smoked heavily.
The phone call just now seemed to have caused him some difficulty.
