The next day.
Early in the morning.
On the road, on the subway, and at the breakfast stalls, everyone was in heated discussion.
"Did you watch it yesterday?"
"I watched both programs!"
"Me too. I started watching Sing! at first, then I watched I Am a Singer."
"Hahaha, the announcement of the rankings was too goddamn fraudulent. That Zhang Ye was so infuriating that he stole all the screen time. It's just a singing competition, but the singers' screen time was not even as long as the executive director who didn't participate in the competition. I was wondering why Zhang Ye didn't participate in the competition. So it turned out that there was an Easter egg here. But, it was indeed a good show, haha! I love watching him tease those singers and hosts! "
"This segment is really unique. Other production teams probably wouldn't even dare to think about it!"
"This show is really creative."
"The new voice is nice too."
"It is good, but that show was also produced by Zhang Ye in the past. No matter how well Central TV Department 1 does, to put it bluntly, they are still eating Zhang Ye's leftovers."
"You're right."
Meanwhile.
Baskets of morning and evening papers were also ready.
"The effects of Sing! New are delightful!"
"Central TV Department 1 continues a classic!"
"I Am a Singer Triggers a Sensation!"
"Half of the music industry is here!"
"Zhang Ye's new variety show is as shocking as ever!"
"I Am a Singer – A Stunning Artwork!"
"The difference in sound quality is obvious. I Am a Singer has world-class sound equipment!"
"Zhao Wuliu makes a comeback, the has-been king of singers rises from the dead!"
"Songstress Zhang Xia explodes in popularity overnight, ushering in her second spring!"
"Amy at risk of elimination?"
"Little Dong's solo performance is unbelievable!"
"Audience Survey: Chen Guang and Zhang Xia are the Most Likely to Become the Masked King!"
"Zhang Ye's scenes are all over the place. The audience is cursing and laughing at the same time!"
"Zhang Ye's new nickname: The most indecisive executive director in history!"
"Zhang Ye's popularity may rise again!"
"Between Sing! and I Am a Singer, which has the higher viewership ratings?"
…
Beijing Television.
I Am a Singer's program team.
Everyone was there. Director Hu Fei only told Xiao Lu to buy all the newspapers related to their program. But when Xiao Lu came to work, she was carrying more than 20 copies of the morning papers. She probably bought all the newspapers in the newsstands, because all of them had their program in them.
Moreover, the biggest music chart in the country was also flooded by their songs!
The latest Top Chinese Music Chart.
Yesterday's data:
First: Wild Rose, Zhang Xia.
Second: Zhao Wuliu from Don't Say You Understand Me.
Third: Hope, by Yan Yi.
Fourth: Fire, Zhang Yuanqi.
Fifth: Defense, Chen Guang.
There were many songs from I Am a Singer on the chart. Of course, there were also songs from Sing!, such as the song in third place, a single released by the Heavenly Queen last week, and a new song by another Heavenly King. This was the data for the top 20 songs of yesterday's Top Chinese Music Chart.
Hou Ge said excitedly, "We're on fire!"
Hou Di said cautiously, "We still have to look at the final viewership ratings."
"There's no need to look to know that it's on fire!" Hou Ge said, "I was still worried that Director Zhang's announcement of the rankings would take too long. When it was broadcast yesterday, I looked at my watch and realized that it was almost 30 minutes into the announcement! Hahaha, who would have thought that the audience would buy it so much? During that period of time, the number of viewers seemed to have doubled! "
Xiao Lu giggled. "I was worried too, but it turns out that Director Zhang was right!"
Dafei said happily, "That's right. When has our Director Zhang ever missed out on something like that?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Hey, hey, don't try to worship me."
Han Qi said in admiration, "Teacher Zhang is amazing."
Hu Fei smiled and said, "It's not the first time you guys have seen how amazing Teacher Little Zhang is. I'm not surprised that the show's response has been pretty good. What I'm concerned about now is how high the viewership ratings for the premiere episode will be. This is different from King of Masked Singers. At that time, there was no competition and we were the only ones leading the way. But with Sing!'s simultaneous broadcast this time, it's hard to say what the viewership ratings will be. "
That's right.
The viewership ratings were what mattered the most!
It was also what they and all of Beijing Television were most concerned about!
Chen Guang also called.
"Zhang'er, what about the viewership ratings?"
"Don't worry, Old Chen. It's not out yet."
"When will it be out?"
"I'll tell you when it's out."
Soon after, Dong Shanshan and the other hosts' agents also arrived. The first thing that came out of everyone's mouths was to ask if the viewership ratings were out.
Zhang Ye was also feeling the pressure. He had relied on his reputation and reputation to form a team, spent more than 200 million RMB of Beijing Television's production budget, asked Wu Mo for another 200 million RMB in title sponsorship fees, coaxed Dong Shanshan and the other Beijing Television hosts, and even invited Zhang Xia, Chen Guang, Zhao Wuliu, Xiaodong, and the others to support him. Adding on the task of carrying out the studio's "Reach the Summit" plan, if the viewership ratings were to screw up, he wouldn't be able to answer to anyone.
...
Central TV Department 1.
The people from Sing!'s program team had also arrived early. Everyone had looks of nervousness and anticipation on their faces. They were also waiting for the viewership ratings.
"Is it out yet?"
"It should be out soon!"
"May the Heavens bless us!"
"I'm not asking for the premiere episode to break 2%, but I hope that it can surpass I Am a Singer!"
"Right, as long as it surpasses them!"
"It will definitely surpass them. A show that spends half its time singing and the other half announcing the rankings can't possibly have high viewership ratings!"
"We'll definitely win this time!"
"Zhang Ye's viewership ratings legend is going to be broken!"
Everyone in the industry knew of Zhang Ye's legend and legend.
He had never lost before!
He would always be number one in the viewership ratings for the same genre!
He would always be number one in the viewership ratings for the same period!
He would always be number one in the viewership ratings for the entire country!
Even the documentaries that he made had swept away all of the television shows in the country. As such, a lot of people in the industry were waiting to see who could break Zhang Ye's legend. And without a doubt, Central TV Department 1's Sing! was the most likely candidate to do so, even though Sing! was also Zhang Ye's idea.
On Weibo.
"I'm betting on Sing! to win!"
"Get lost, I'm betting on I Am a Singer!"
"Zhang Ye's show, even if it loses, it won't lose in the viewership ratings!"
"The only one who can deal with Zhang Ye is the SARFT. But now that the SARFT can't be bothered to deal with him, that means that no one in the entire industry can beat this fellow, not even Central TV Department 1!"
"Previous poster + 1!"
"Previous poster is so insightful!"
"If it were the second season of The Voice that Zhang Ye made himself, he might still have a chance against I Am a Singer. But with Central TV Department 1's Sing!, it's going to be tough!"
"That might not be the case. Let's just wait and see how it turns out."
"Both shows are pretty good, so the viewership ratings won't differ by too much."
Finally, at 10 AM, the nationwide viewership ratings for yesterday's television shows were released!
However, this result left many of the netizens and industry insiders dumbfounded. At this moment, a lot of people felt a chill run down their spines!
How could this be!
How could this be!
Th-This doesn't make any sense!
The netizens were shocked!
The industry insiders were terrified!
This result was something that a lot of people could not accept!
The nationwide viewership ratings for yesterday:
# 1: I Am a Singer, viewership rating of 2.43%!
# 2: You Can Guess, 0.84%!
# 3: Sing!, 0.82%!
This news sent the entire industry into an uproar. I Am a Singer was ranked first in the nationwide viewership ratings? Alright, that was still acceptable. After all, it was Zhang Ye's show and he was the number one director in the industry! But what was with Sing!? How could Sing!'s viewership ratings only be in third place? It didn't even pass 1%? Only a measly 0.82%? It couldn't even be compared to a reality show like You Can Guess?
Weren't the reviews pretty good?
Weren't the reviews very good?
Then why were the viewership ratings so low?!
That was why many of the industry insiders were terrified. What bullsh * t claim that the two shows would share the viewership ratings and popularity ratings? So it turned out that there was no such thing! I Am a Singer had snatched away almost all of Sing!'s viewers! At the time of yesterday's broadcast, I Am a Singer's audience was more than three times that of Sing!'s audience! How could they compete with that? How could they compete with that?
Had Zhang Ye's influence already reached such a level?
Whoever encountered him would die?
Whoever encountered him would be finished?
Sing! couldn't do it?
Even Central TV Department 1 couldn't do it?
Was there really no one in the industry who could beat him?
— This question was finally answered today.
Yes, it seemed like there really wasn't anyone left!
