The boycott of China's Top Voice was far beyond Director Zhou's expectations. He walked alone in the wind, feeling a little disheveled.
That incident had directly destroyed the reputation of the show, turning it into a street rat.
"Forget it. Let's not film the live audience. Just film the stage!" Director gritted his teeth and finally decided.
It was the finals of this episode. The focus was on the stage, so he could make do with it.
Everything was ready, and the filming began.
The two contestants for the final round went on stage. Their faces were filled with tears, looking extremely nervous and emotional.
They held the microphone and kept saying a bunch of emotional nonsense. The cameraman would even take a close-up of their tears from time to time.
It created an atmosphere of deep sisterly love, mutual appreciation, yet determined to see who was better.
The mentors would occasionally give them guidance. Both parties had prepared their lines well. After touching each other for a long time, the first contestant began to sing.
"How is it? How's the ratings? "Director asked nervously.
Little Zhao gulped and did not dare to speak. He said timidly, "Director, the ratings are only 0.02 …"
"What? Say that again! "Director Zhou's face instantly turned green.
0.02. How bad could it be to have such a low rating? In his memory, there had never been a television show with such a low rating.
"The ratings are only 0.02 …" Little Zhao could not bear to see it and said with difficulty.
"Impossible! Our Top Voice's ratings have always been at a base of 0.8. The last two ratings had just reached new highs. How could it suddenly drop like this?! "Director Zhou was going crazy." Take a closer look. It must be a system error! "
"Director, I've already watched it five times. That's really all," Little Zhao said bitterly.
In fact, that 0.02 rating was because many people wanted to criticize Top Voice. Little Zhao did not have the heart to tell the director the truth.
At that moment, a middle-aged man walked over quickly.
He frowned, holding a few stacks of materials in his hands. His expression was terrible!
"Director Ding!" Director Zhou's expression changed, looking at the middle-aged man anxiously.
"Director Zhou, you still know that I'm the director?! Your Top Voice may have a death wish, but don't drag our Capital TV Channel down with you! " Chairman Ding roared, his voice booming like a bell. "Stop all of Top Voice's programs immediately!"
"That won't do!" Director Zhou's face paled. "President Ding, today is the finals of Top Voice!"
"Hehe, no one even watches a final like yours. What's the point of holding it?" Chairman Ding stared coldly at Director Zhou. "I don't know what's in your head! When Chen Xiaoyan was around, the show was so popular. What had happened now? Did they not know the reason?! This is the statistical data of our television channel. Take a good look at what you've done! "
Director Ding slammed the document in front of Director Zhou.
Director Zhou's hands trembled as he picked up the materials.
The document recorded Capital TV Channel's viewership. When Chen Xiaoyan was around, the entire channel's viewership skyrocketed. However, after Chen Xiaoyan was eliminated, the entire channel's viewership plummeted. The backstage of the TV Channel was filled with criticism.
This kind of contrast was extremely intense, shocking to the eye!
"President Ding, Chen Xiaoyan's elimination has nothing to do with us. It's all because of Hong Na," Director Zhou forced himself to explain.
"Hehe, Director Zhou, you're quite experienced. Why don't you understand Chen Xiaoyan's importance?!" Chairman Ding spoke in exasperation, "Chen Xiaoyan's popularity is high to begin with. Behind her stands Y! How can you ignore that?! "
"Today, your Top Voice's viewership is terrible, but QQ Music's chart has been dominated by Y and Chen Xiaoyan!"
Some People was first, while Chaser of the Light, Boundless Sea and Sky, and Light Years Away were second, third, and fourth respectively!
That kind of popularity was enough to make people tremble.
Director Zhou's body trembled slightly. His mouth trembled violently, and he was speechless.
He could not help but recall the few times he hesitated. If he had stood up right from the start and declared that he had nothing to do with Hong Na and canceled Chen Xiaoyan's elimination, the consequences would have been completely different.
Furthermore, if he had stood up and said that Chen Xiaoyan's elimination had nothing to do with Top Voice, things would not have turned out this way.
At that moment, his heart was filled with regret.
He overestimated Top Voice's popularity, and even more so, underestimated Chen Xiaoyan and Y's popularity!
"Within three days, if you can't minimize the impact of this incident, our Capital TV Channel will refuse to broadcast China's Top Voice!" Chairman Ding looked at the dejected Director Zhou and sighed, then turned around and left.
…
The announcement of China's Top Voice's finals ended quickly became a hot topic on Weibo.
Immediately after that, Top Voice's announcement attracted even more attention.
[Eliminating Chen Xiaoyan was not the show's decision. It was entirely Hong Na's personal decision! Chen Xiaoyan's singing was flawless, but due to the show's rules, she had no choice but to be eliminated with one vote. This is China's Top Voice's loss. As long as Chen Xiaoyan is willing, she can still return to Top Voice's stage!]
At that moment, China's Top Voice sold out Hong Na without hesitation.
That announcement undoubtedly became a hot topic at the moment. China's Top Voice actually gave in!
At that moment, Morning Light felt a sense of exhilaration.
[Hahaha, Top Voice finally knows the importance of our Chen Xiaoyan!]
[You're only apologizing now? What were you doing earlier?!]
[Hehe, you're trying to cut ties with just an announcement? Why didn't you stand up for Chen Xiaoyan when she was eliminated?]
[Now that Chen Xiaoyan is on fire, you still have the nerve to ask her to go back? Where's your dignity? Do you think you can still invite her?!]
Following that, someone even posted the photos of China's Top Voice's finals and the ratings on the day of the finals. The empty venue and the ratings that were almost equal to zero could only be described as pathetic. It garnered a large wave of ridicule and likes from the viewers.
[F * ck! That's too f * cking pathetic! Hahaha …]
[Forgive me for being blunt, but this is the most pathetic ratings I've ever seen in history.]
[No wonder they gave in. China's Top Voice can no longer continue. They brought this upon themselves!]
…
As for China's Top Voice's announcement, Chen Xiaoyan's response was simple. [Thank you for your kind intentions, but I won't be returning to this stage again!]
[Domineering!]
[Today you're ignoring me. Tomorrow I'll make sure you're out of my league!]
[China's Top Voice should be crying now. Hahaha …]
Director Zhou saw Chen Xiaoyan's reply and shook his head with a bitter smile. He was not surprised.
Under the current circumstances, Chen Xiaoyan's popularity could be described as explosive. Moreover, she had the support of a hidden Singer Y, which was a guarantee of the ratings. She would definitely become the target of all major shows!
It was laughable that he had a trump card in his hands, yet he ended up in such a state. He was practically a retard!
