Later that morning.
Zhang Ye's mother called.
"Son, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm at Old Rao's house. How are you and Dad doing?"
"It's pretty good here in Hainan. It's very comfortable. Oh yes, I watched the new show you came up with."
"Haha, how was it?"
"It was great! Your dad didn't get enough of it after watching it once, so he replayed it. "
"Who do you like in the show?"
"I like Sunflowers in the Starlight."
"Uh, what about Dad?"
"Your dad likes Petal Shower."
"…"
"Son, what's the matter?"
"Ahem, it's nothing. Hai, have fun, you two."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had thought that at least one of his biological parents would like The Clown, but there wasn't a single one. He couldn't even put on an act. What a failure. However, this was only the first episode, and it was one where his body and voice were not in the best condition. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so Zhang Ye was not in a hurry. As long as he did not get eliminated, he could bring out the songs he wanted to sing one by one.
What should he sing for the next episode?
An emotional one?
A cheerful one?
A high-pitched one?
Or should he continue with his heart?
He had to prepare two songs. What a headache.
Zhang Ye was strolling around Old Rao's living room. He had already started thinking about the next round of the competition. Right now, he did not have any work to do or anything to do. All his thoughts and time were focused on King of Masked Singers because this was the only way out for him after much thought. Right now, he could only hide behind a mask and use another method to roam the world proudly.
Yang Shu looked at him. "Senior Bro, are you feeling better?"
"I'm alright," Zhang Ye answered reflexively as he walked.
At this moment, the sound of keys jingling came from outside. Old Rao had returned!
Yang Shu turned around and immediately went to open the door. "Master Rao, Chenchen."
Rao Aimin nodded. "Where's Zhang Ye?"
Yang Shu said, "My senior bro? Isn't he … "She turned around and pointed, but it was empty. Zhang Ye was no longer at the dining table.
"Eh? He's not up yet? "Rao Aimin looked at the sofa.
She saw Zhang Ye lying on the sofa, groaning and looking like he was about to die.
"Old Rao, pour me a glass of water."
Rao Aimin: "Get lost."
"I'm thirsty."
Rao Aimin: "Go by yourself!"
Zhang Ye: "Chenchen, pour it for me. I can't move."
Yang Shu was dumbfounded!
…
Within the industry.
At a television station.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have poached Zhang Ye from Central TV even if I had to pay the 30 million RMB penalty! I don't believe that Central TV won't let him go if I offer 30 million! "
"Sigh, it's useless to say anything now!"
"Zhang Ye's brain is really too sharp!"
"Yeah, he alone is enough to defeat all the planning teams!"
"King of Masked Singers is definitely going to be popular, and it might even topple a lot of things!"
"That's right. Take a look at today's Top Chinese Music Chart. It's really too exaggerated. I have quite a few friends in the music industry. I heard that the music industry is also in an uproar. A program that was broadcast last night, with some of the songs in it being covers, has already appeared on the Top Chinese Music Chart today? Seven of the top ten places were taken by them? This was simply incredible. In the past, if they wanted to release a new song, they had to go everywhere to promote it. Talk shows, variety shows, and the company had to keep throwing money at it. But now? A TV show could achieve such an effect? And it's even better than that? "
"The figures for Wild Rose are too ruthless!"
"Who is The Clown?"
"I don't know! Which big name of the music industry came? How can he sing like that even though he's sick? "
"Wild Rose has already started sweeping the charts. It's number one on the daily chart today, and in a few days, it'll probably be number one on the monthly chart as well. This is too ruthless! They've all gone crazy! "
"This is a disruptive variety show!"
"Hai, Beijing TV has really gotten a great deal this time!"
"There's nothing they can do about it. Zhang Ye is a Beijing local after all! Damn, with that identity, who can fucking compete with Beijing TV? "
"Are their viewership ratings out yet?"
"Not yet, but they should be out soon."
"Let's see how their viewership ratings are first."
"They won't break another historical record, right?"
...
At an entertainment company.
"Little Xiao."
"Director Zhou."
"Did you watch King of Masked Singers?"
"I did."
"What do you think?"
"The people in the show are really amazing. I might have recognized one of the singers, but I can't be sure. As for the others, I don't know. I really can't guess who they are."
"You're the newcomer that our company is promoting today. I have some ties with the executive director of King of Masked Singers, Hu Fei. I've already spoken to him about it, so you should give it a try."
"Can I do it?"
"You're also a professional singer, so you have to have confidence in yourself. This show will definitely become popular, or rather, it has already become popular. A lot of companies have their eyes on this slice of the pie and are all trying to send their people onto the show. If you're a step too late, you might not get the chance."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
...
Beijing Television.
In the program team office of King of Masked Singers.
Quite a few people from the other program teams came over to "visit."
"Old Hu, you guys have really made a name for yourselves this time!"
"Hai, no."
"The show has already become so popular, yet you still want to keep a low profile? Hurry up and treat us. You have to treat us. We can't go to a place like this! "
"Hur hur, let's wait for the viewership ratings to come out first. Right now, it's just a matter of seeing how popular the show is. We still don't know what the results will be."
"Come on, the entire Internet is in chaos right now. Everyone in the industry is talking about your show. If the viewership ratings can be bad, I'll twist my head off and give it to you."
"Then I'll be counting on your auspicious words."
In the past, they were formerly the program team of Do You Remember. Although their show back then was quite good, it was only quite good. Hu Fei and the others from the program team had never enjoyed such treatment before. There was even a deputy station head and a station executive who did not even go to the office when they arrived at work. Instead, they went straight to the office of the program team and sat down for a while to inspect the place. Quite a few of their colleagues from Beijing Television also came over to congratulate them. There were also quite a few media reporters who nearly blew up the phone lines of their program team.
Hou Ge said excitedly, "We're on fire!"
Hou Di exclaimed, "To think that we would also have such a day!"
"I feel like I'm dreaming." Xiao Lu was really not used to it. "Did any of you receive any calls? I received two this morning. They were from other television stations who wanted to poach me with an annual salary of 500,000 RMB! Oh my god, I've never seen a salary of 500,000 RMB in my entire life! "
Dafei exclaimed, "Damn, why didn't anyone poach me!"
Xiao Lu laughed and said, "Because you're ugly."
Dafei: "…"
Everyone laughed.
Hu Fei smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing for us to be proud of. Those who know the inside story all know that we're basking in Teacher Zhang's limelight this time."
Han Qi gave a wry smile. "Teacher Zhang is too amazing."
Han Qi was a newcomer who had just been transferred to the program team. During the few times that Zhang Ye came over, Han Qi had seen him from afar, but did not get a chance to speak to him. With her status, she felt that she was not qualified to speak to him. That was Zhang Ye, an A-list celebrity who was very famous in the industry. As such, she could only observe him from afar, even though she was a hardcore fan of Zhang Ye. But in reality, Han Qi did not know that she had already spoken to Zhang Ye many times.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard!
A staff member of the program team rushed into the office and shouted excitedly, "It's out! The viewership ratings are out! "
Hu Fei immediately asked, "How is it?"
Hou Ge also got nervous. "How much?"
Xiao Lu said anxiously, "What's the national ranking?"
That person handed the viewership ratings chart to Hu Fei. Everyone immediately rushed over!
"Let me see!"
"Don't block my way!"
"How much is it?"
"Just how much is it?"
Then, the numbers on the chart appeared before everyone's eyes!
When they saw this number, everyone on the program team was stunned!
King of Masked Singers' premiere episode's nationwide viewership ratings — 2.51%!
Number one in the country!
It had nearly doubled the viewership ratings of the second place show!
The office suddenly fell silent.
One second.
Two seconds.
Suddenly, ear-piercing screams erupted!
"Ahhh!"
"Number one! Number one in the country! "
"Holy shit! 2.51%! "
"It's really on fire this time! It's really on fire! "
"Oh my God!"
"This is crazy!"
"It's even higher than the premiere episode of The Voice?"
"Oh my god!"
Han Qi jumped up!
Xiao Lu was screaming in excitement!
Exclamations!
Exclamations!
The office was in chaos!
Hu Fei suddenly said, "Quick, let's inform Little Zhang first!"
Dafei hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll give Teacher Zhang a call!"
Beijing Television was in an uproar!
The industry was also shocked by this viewership rating!
This was the premiere episode!
And this was only the first episode!
The fucking first episode had already achieved a viewership rating of 2.51%? What kind of concept was this? Were your viewership ratings going to break 4% in the future? How could it possibly be so high!
