Beijing Television.
The program team was in a state of jubilation!
Even the staff from the other program teams also came over to congratulate them. Everyone looked at Zhang Ye with a strange look of admiration!
Xiao Lu screamed, "We've won! We've won! "
Hou Ge put his arm around Dafei's shoulders. "2.43%!"
Hou Di said loudly, "Bro, you're so awesome!"
Hou Ge said, "Yes, my little bro!"
Dong Shanshan gave Zhang Ye a thumbs up.
Then, everyone gave Zhang Ye a thumbs up.
"Director Zhang!"
"Awesome!"
"You're still the best!"
"Central TV Department 1 has lost terribly this time!"
"It didn't even pass 1%!"
"We've snatched all the talent away from them!"
"I'll only admire Director Zhang for my entire life!"
"I never fucking expected this result!"
"Ahhh, this is great!"
"Director Hu, Director Zhang, it's your treat this afternoon!"
"Haha, that's a must. Let's celebrate at noon!"
Hu Fei was also very excited. All of his worries and nervousness had vanished the moment the viewership ratings were released. Thinking back to his own people's analysis of the lack of an audience base and the fact that their popularity had been split, it was all a joke! They had Zhang Ye! What the hell were they worried about!
Zhang Ye was already making calls.
He called Chen Guang first.
"Hello, Old Chen."
"It's out?"
"It's out. 2.43%, first place."
"What? It's over 2%? What's New Voice's rating? "
"0.8 something."
"Ah?"
"Don't blame me. Don't get Old Fan to contact me."
Then he called Xiaodong.
"Sister Dong, the viewership ratings are out."
"Boss Zhang! I saw it! I saw it! "
"Alright, that's good. I was just about to let you know."
"Do I still need to tell you? The industry has already blown up! Now, everyone in the industry is talking about you. They say that you are the undisputed number one in the variety field. Even the Heavenly Kings and Queens can't beat you in this field. Haha, thanks, Boss Zhang. Thanks to your show, Big Sister's popularity has increased again. I was just chatting with Grandma Zhang on the phone for a while. She said that she didn't expect one of her songs to be so popular. Grandma Zhang said that she wanted to support you, but she didn't expect that she would be basking in your glory. Grandma Zhang is now preparing her second song.
"You should get ready too."
"Of course, I'll try to get into the top three!"
He called Amy.
"Amy, sing the second song well."
"Aiya, I'm so stressed!"
"Haha."
"The show is so popular, I can't possibly be eliminated. That's it, Director Zhang. I'm going to go pick my song. I'm going to give it my all this time!"
Every singer was full of enthusiasm. Didn't they go on the show for the sake of popularity? With such heaven-defying viewership ratings, everyone was very excited!
Zhang Ye's Studio was also the first to receive the news.
Zhang Ye called Ha Qiqi. "The plan is going smoothly. Everyone can rest assured."
Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "I knew it wouldn't be a problem!"
The "Reach the Summit" plan was going smoothly, so this step should be a done deal. This could be seen from the viewership ratings of the premiere episode. As long as Zhang Ye did not make any mistakes in the subsequent recording sessions, and as long as the show did not encounter any major accidents, then the viewership ratings would only get higher and higher and would not drop. Furthermore, Zhang Ye's role in I Am a Singer was unexpectedly significant. He was getting almost as much attention as the other singers, so Zhang Ye would definitely be able to boost his popularity in the television show industry to the max!
Meanwhile, Zhang Ye was making a call.
The executives of Beijing Television had also arrived. Such matters were usually handled by Hu Fei as Zhang Ye was not good at dealing with the leaders. When the executives arrived, they did not say anything else but directly promised that everyone in I Am a Singer's program team would receive three times their year-end bonuses! This was the most substantial offer, so everyone applauded!
…
Online.
The netizens were also exclaiming.
"I really didn't expect this!"
"Yeah, the disparity is too great!"
"How the fuck are we supposed to compete?"
"I Am a Singer is too awesome!"
"It's yet another phenomenal variety show! The premiere episode has already achieved such a high viewership rating, and this is even with Sing!'s competition. If they can beat Sing! later on, the viewership ratings might break another historical record! I don't think King of Masked Singers' record will be maintained! "
"Sing!'s actually not that bad and is a very good show to watch. But the problem is that they encountered Zhang Ye, so Central TV Department 1 has lost quite unjustly. Actually, just by looking at the popularity online, you can tell that their viewership ratings can't possibly be lower than 1%. But because they aired at the same time slot as I Am a Singer, the audience was split up and only watched it on television or online. The viewership ratings were not taken into account, so that's why the disparity is so great."
"How tragic."
"I pity Central TV Department 1."
"How did it turn out like this?"
"Oh my god! This is too scary! "
"Yeah, which show would dare to broadcast at the same time slot as Zhang Ye's show in the future! Even Sing! has suffered such a tragic defeat! "
"They can only blame Central TV Department 1 for being too arrogant and using Zhang Ye's name to hype up their new show. In the end, they even deliberately tarnished Zhang Ye's reputation by using his stuff and badmouthing him. That was how Lord Zhang got so angry that he came up with a new show to compete with them. Otherwise, Sing! would have definitely dominated the show. Hai, how many times has it happened already? They really don't learn from their mistakes. Is Face-smacking Zhang someone to be trifled with?"
"I Am a Singer has really done a wonderful job!"
"The people they hired are really good!"
"Zhang Xia's songs are amazing!"
"It's still Zhao Wuliu who surprises us!"
The heated discussions exploded!
Zhang Xia was on fire!
Zhao Wuliu was on fire!
Zhang Ye was on fire!
Xiaodong was on fire!
Dong Shanshan and the other managers were on fire!
The huge popularity of I Am a Singer also made the others popular!
...
Meanwhile.
Central TV Department 1.
The program team office of Sing! was completely silent!
How could this be!
How could this be!
Could there have been a mistake?
Could there have been a mistake in the statistics?
How could their show's viewership ratings be so low?
Suddenly, a girl who was holding the viewership ratings slip pouted. She could not hold back her tears as she cried. When a big sister from the program team saw this, her eyes also reddened.
Tragic!
They had lost so terribly!
When an assistant director saw this, he immediately said, "What are you doing? What are you doing? This is only the beginning. Don't worry. Ah, don't worry. The audience only came to watch the premiere episode for fun and something new. They've never seen a show like I Am a Singer before, so they went to watch it. When the next episode comes around, our audience will still come back and we can still surpass them in the viewership ratings. So if we do a good job in the next episode, we'll definitely be able to take them down! "
Another assistant director also said, "Right, I Am a Singer has a major flaw, and that is that the contestants are eliminated too quickly. Those singers are all big names in the music industry and have a lot of fans. If any of them are eliminated, it will cause dissatisfaction and resistance from their fans. The viewership ratings will definitely drop, so don't worry!"
Was that true?
Was that even possible?
Only then did everyone regain some hope!
Right!
They hadn't lost yet!
This was only the first episode!
There was still a lot of time to come!
There were still many opportunities to come!
They had to pull themselves together and do a good job on the show. Only then would they be able to compete with Zhang Ye's team. Just like a soccer match, no one would know who would win or lose until the very last moment. So everyone took a deep breath and secretly got excited. Come on! The time left for the China team … uh, there's not much time left for us!
