Chapter 414 This is going to be incredibly embarrassing!
New Year's Eve is the last day of the old year, and after tonight comes the arrival of 2019.
Therefore, many people still watch TV New Year's Eve galas, and each TV station will go all out to compete for viewership.
Naturally, in many cases, the major TV stations are also vying for the second place, because in the past, CCTV has always been firmly in first place.
This year's New Year's Eve gala on Jiangsu TV received the most attention due to Chen Jincheng, so the TV station's opening ratings were quite good, breaking 1.
Upon receiving the immediate report, Lu Hao, the chief director, smiled and asked his assistant, "Is it confirmed?"
The assistant immediately replied, "It's confirmed. The data from both sides is being broadcast in real time. Moreover, our current viewership is lower than CCTV's, but higher than other platforms."
Lu Hao naturally knew why the data was being broadcast in real time. There was no way around it; the matter between Chen Jincheng and Su Haoze was currently generating too much buzz, and people online were eagerly awaiting the outcome.
Therefore, those who can ride the wave of popularity will naturally do so.
Moreover, the opening viewership rating was second only to CCTV, which is good news.
He was increasingly glad that he had invited Chan Kam-ching.
If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have attracted so much attention.
Suzhou TV has indeed received a lot of attention because of Chen Jincheng, and the program itself is also very well prepared, so the ratings have been increasing.
Even by the time of Phoenix Legend, it had already reached a new peak, directly breaking 2.
When Lu Hao heard the news, he was very excited: "They've already broken 2, and that was when Phoenix Legend performed on stage."
The assistant nodded: "Yes, when Phoenix Legend sang 'Lotus Pond Moonlight,' the score broke 2 during the chorus."
"That's great! Maybe this year our ratings can rival CCTV's." Lu Hao said instinctively upon hearing the news.
Last year, CCTV's New Year's Eve gala had a viewership rating of 1.75%, with a peak of 3.1%.
This year's trend really presents an opportunity.
This made him even more excited to collaborate with the Second Star on variety shows.
time flies.
With Phoenix Legend stepping down, the ratings for the following programs on Jiangsu Satellite TV did indeed drop significantly, with one program even falling below 1.5.
This prompted Lu Hao to blacklist the singer, which was clearly a mistake.
However, it's normal for New Year's Eve gala ratings to fluctuate, even for CCTV.
As the New Year's Eve gala drew to a close, the ratings surged again when Xue Qian took the stage, breaking the 2 mark once more and reaching 2.55.
Clearly, Xue Qian has maintained a good level of popularity over the long term.
However, when he went on stage to perform, the viewers watching the live stream were all a bit dumbfounded.
The first character to appear on stage was the anime character Luo Tianyi.
In other words, Xue Qian's performance was a collaboration with a virtual anime character?
Viewers watching the live stream were fine; they could see Luo Tianyi and Xue Qian's collaboration projected on the screen, and they could see her throwing bombs at Xue Qian, looking quite happy.
The audience at the scene were completely bewildered.
Because everyone could see how awkward it was for Xue Qian to sing a duet to thin air on stage.
Xue Qian has a very close relationship with Jiangsu TV.
No one else would accept such an arrangement.
What a shame.
However, Xue Qian's performance on the show achieved very good ratings, with a peak rating of 2.68, which is currently the highest-rated performance.
"Thank you everyone." That was all Xue Qian said before quickly leaving the stage, in response to the host's final question.
It's so embarrassing, what else is there to say?
They just left.
This left the host completely bewildered. Wasn't it supposed to be a few words to buy some time? What am I supposed to do if you keep going like this?
He quickly started rambling: "Everyone has seen Xue Qian's wonderful performance, so I think many people are looking forward to the next show, right? After all, the battle for online ratings has been the biggest topic these past two days."
Everyone who hears this knows that the biggest show on Jiangsu TV is about to begin.
As viewers of the live stream know, Su Haoze was about to take the stage, which attracted many casual viewers to Jiangsu TV. Suddenly, some of these viewers started posting comments expressing their opposition to the young actor Su Haoze.
"Haha, it's Su Haoze's turn. I've already turned off the live stream so I don't have to count his viewership."
"Me too, I even posted it on WeChat and Moments."
"I'd also like to voice my opinion; I've been annoyed by this young heartthrob for a long time."
“I turned it off too. My sister wanted to turn on the TV to support Su Haoze, but I slapped her across the face.”
"The guy upstairs is awesome! My girlfriend actually wants to watch Su Haoze's live stream, she's asking for it!"
In an upscale residential area, a young man finished sending a message on the live stream. When he saw his girlfriend grab the remote and turn on the live stream of Jiangsu TV, he jumped up, snatched the remote from his girlfriend, and turned off the live stream.
He even said online that he wouldn't let Su Haoze ride on his viewership numbers.
His girlfriend was stunned and immediately got angry: "What are you doing? I want to watch Su Haoze's performance. Otherwise, why would I stay here with you to watch the New Year's Eve gala for so long? I would have gone clubbing with my best friend long ago."
"I can tolerate your love of clubbing, but I can't tolerate you watching Su Haoze's show today." The young man was also annoyed.
His girlfriend got even angrier: "Jinghao, what's wrong with you? You made me miss Su Haoze's performance, I'm breaking up with you."
As she spoke, she reached out to grab the remote control.
Seeing this, Jing Hao couldn't take it anymore. He slapped his girlfriend across the face and said viciously, "Break up, huh? Fine, let's break up then. Damn it, I've put up with you for too long."
The slap stunned the girlfriend. Looking at her angry boyfriend, she lost all her arrogance and said in a coquettish voice, "Jinghao, I was wrong, okay? I won't watch anymore."
Looking at her, Jing Hao couldn't help but complain: "Just like Chen Jincheng said, money is for women to see, not for women to spend. Damn it, I give you 10,000 yuan a month for pocket money, and you still dare to take it for granted? You can't find someone to give you another 10,000 yuan a month, can you?"
Suddenly, he became a fan of Chan Kam-ching.
The other person has an extremely clear understanding of women.
That's absolutely right.
He gives 1 yuan in pocket money every month, how could he not find a girlfriend?
Giving money isn't about making yourself suffer, nor is it about finding someone who's obsessed with young idols to disgust you.
"Jinghao, I was really wrong. I'll bite you tonight, okay?" His girlfriend immediately pleaded, "Isn't that what you've always wanted?"
"Heh." Jing Hao sneered, "Didn't you complain about it being unhygienic? Now you know I wanted it?"
"You want me to bite for you from now on?" the girlfriend quickly added. After all, it's really hard to find a boyfriend who gives you 1 a month. Seeing that he was really angry, she backed down.
"Damn it, go brush your teeth and rinse your mouth. I think your mouth is dirty." Jing Hao said irritably, "While you're biting, I'm going to watch Chen Jincheng's show." Similar things were happening online.
In Linhai City, Yi Jin was holding his phone, chatting in dozens of WeChat groups from all walks of life. He copied a sentence: "Haha, I also turned off the live stream. Nobody watches Su Haoze anymore."
Then the software simultaneously sent these messages to those WeChat groups.
As you can see, his studio employees are doing the same thing.
After finishing the procedure, Yi Jin opened the slide group and said, "Done!?"
"It's done."
"It's done."
"It's done."
The group chat was filled with identical reports.
...
Lu Hao, from Jiangsu Satellite TV, has been closely monitoring the live broadcast of his own gala. Currently, their program's average viewership is basically on par with CCTV's, which is the first time a local TV station has been able to surpass CCTV.
There's no way around it; local TV stations can't compete with CCTV in terms of resources and exposure. CCTV, on the other hand, has a guaranteed minimum.
This time, we were able to achieve this level of success, and it's all thanks to Chen Jincheng.
Now, only Su Haoze and Chen Jincheng remain. Su Haoze's ratings are guaranteed, and if Chen Jincheng continues to perform steadily, then Jiangsu TV's New Year's Eve gala this year will surpass CCTV's, which is truly exciting.
Just then, the assistant rushed in: "Director Lu, something bad has happened! Our station's ratings are dropping rapidly and have fallen below 1."
"What?" Lu Hao was stunned and asked subconsciously, "What happened? Next up is Su Haoze's performance. Isn't his performance a guarantee of high ratings? Besides, didn't Xue Qian's performance just reach 2.65? How could it drop below 1 in such a short time?"
His head was buzzing a little.
That shouldn't be the case. The other party has sasaeng fans, and their company also provides them with a lot of promotional resources. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for their top-tier popularity to be so poor.
The assistant hurriedly said, "It seems that the other company is not giving Su Haoze any resources, which is very strange. Moreover, there is a trend of boycotting Su Haoze."
"???" Lu Hao was dumbfounded.
Su Haoze's company didn't give him any promotional resources? That shouldn't be the case; he's their cash cow.
He immediately went online to check the situation, and when he saw many people calling for the live stream to be shut down because of Su Haoze's performance, he was completely dumbfounded.
He naturally knew that this was probably because the young idol had created that poll, angering passersby and completely ruining Su Haoze's public image, especially since Su Haoze no longer had even 0.5% of the votes.
He just didn't expect that passersby would be so resistant to this young heartthrob.
This has never happened before; ordinary passersby would never have imagined such a thing, and it even guides others.
He thought of Chen Jincheng; there must be something to do with him behind this.
Why did this idiot young man provoke Chen Jincheng?
Whether in terms of capital, status, or ability, the other party cannot compare with Chen Jincheng, okay?
At this time.
Lu Hao also heard the host's new announcement through his earpiece: "Next, everyone should know who is going to perform on stage. He is Su Haoze, who is known as the King of Popularity and the Prince of Top Stars."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hao couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Damn, this top-tier prince is going to suffer a huge setback this time."
Backstage, Su Haoze had no idea about this. He had already given his phone to his assistant, and assistants weren't allowed to go up to the backstage area while waiting for a performance.
At that moment, he also heard the announcement, and got up with a smug look on his face, walking towards the front desk.
This is Su Haoze, a true top star.
After his performance on stage, he will let everyone know who the top star is and who is the ratings king of this year's New Year's Eve Gala on Jiangsu TV.
He glanced at Xue Qian, who had come down, and the 2.65 rating drew compliments from the guests who had finished their performances.
Did you really think this number was very high?
He appeared on variety shows, and the viewership ratings were at least five times.
Su Haoze went on stage, but the audience looked at him strangely. Most of the people who came to the event were celebrities or people of status and position. They had come to the gala because they had seen news about Jiangsu TV.
So, naturally, I've seen the news about this young heartthrob and Chen Jincheng.
They couldn't understand where this young heartthrob got the courage to cause trouble for Chen Jincheng.
After all, even though many of them own their own companies, or even listed groups, they dare not underestimate Chen Jincheng.
Su Haoze was unaware of all this. After going on stage, he waited for his backup dancers to arrive before preparing to perform. As the music started, he jumped up.
He's a singer and dancer, and this English song was specially prepared for him. His live performance will be incredibly energetic, and I'm sure it will be well-received by the audience.
Especially with the dance combined with the music, it will definitely be a showstopper. The ratings will easily surpass Xue Qian's and Chen Jincheng's will be hard to match.
Backstage, Lu Hao was constantly monitoring the real-time ratings. Halfway through Su Haoze's performance, he asked his assistant, "How's it going?"
The assistant replied, "The viewership ratings did increase a lot during Su Haoze's performance, but it only reached 1.5, which is not much different from the performances of other guests."
Lu Hao sighed. This low viewership rating had dragged down the average ratings again.
However, the other party's sasaeng fans are quite formidable. Considering the online backlash and the company's lack of resources for promotion, they still managed to achieve this level of success. So why do they insist on going against Chen Jincheng?
Now that the show has progressed this far, this is pretty much all the ratings he can get. He's probably going to lose face big time this time.
Soon, Su Haoze's performance ended, and a female host stepped forward with a smile and said, "Su Haoze, your performance was absolutely fantastic! Your dance was electrifying!"
Hearing this compliment, Su Haoze couldn't help but feel proud: "Of course, I'm a top star. I'm not called that for nothing. My specialty is singing and dancing. I believe my performance will have the highest ratings tonight."
He said something out of the ordinary, clearly obsessed with the matter and unable to hold back his words.
The female host, unaware of the online situation but knowing that Su Haoze had previously achieved high viewership ratings, smiled and complimented him, "I'm very happy to see such a wonderful performance from Haoze today, ^".
Su Haoze was even more pleased with himself. After the interview, he walked off the stage with his head held high. Now it was time for him to prove everything.
When he got backstage, he found several guests who had finished performing staring at him and whispering among themselves.
He knew that these people must know his current viewership ratings and that it was too early to flatter Xue Qian, right?
So, after his assistant rushed over, he smiled and deliberately raised his voice, asking, "What are my ratings? Aren't they the highest right now?"
The assistant looked at him awkwardly, wanting to remind him to leave quickly, as it would be embarrassing, but he had already spoken and it was too late.
This will make her boss look incredibly embarrassed.
"What are you spacing out for? What are my ratings?" Su Haoze was a little annoyed to see her standing there in a daze: "I pay you so much salary a month, can't you even do a good job of keeping an eye on the data?"
Even after being scolded, the assistant could only grit his teeth and say, "Boss, your performance only got a 1.5 rating!"
"I knew it..." Su Haoze was stunned, then asked incredulously, "What did you say?"
