Monday, July 25th.
Big Stars of the Nation was officially broadcasted on television. At the same time, Hong Dali's iPartment had also begun filming …
It had to be said that it was a crushing victory — Li Nianwei starred in "iPartment", which had an all-star cast, was loved by the audience as soon as it was broadcasted. Needless to say, there were many handsome men and beautiful women in the show, and the hilarious plot and funny lines swept through the audience circle like a hurricane. It won first place in the ratings on that day.
In comparison, Big Stars of the Nation's viewership ratings were extremely dismal. It could even be said to be too horrible to look at.
…
"Young Master, bad news!" The bodyguard frantically rushed into Presidential Suite Number Four and anxiously said to Ko Gohon, "The viewership ratings for the first day are out! Our Big Stars of the Nation's viewership ratings are … are … "
"How much?!" Ko Gohon's expression changed slightly. Just by looking at the bodyguard, he knew that things seemed to be out of his expectations.
"It's 1.2%," the bodyguard replied carefully. He was already a little panicky now. This time, Ko Gohon had bet another 20 million. If they lost … then they, as bodyguards, would definitely not have it easy.
"The viewership ratings are still alright, what's there to panic about?" Ko Gohon berated. "Then what about Hong Dali? Are you saying that his ratings are higher than ours? How much higher? A few tenths of a percent? "
Generally speaking, the viewership ratings of TV shows would not differ too much from each other. Even if Big Stars of the Nation did not beat Dali's iPartment, there was still Star Plan behind it. Sunday's viewership ratings were the most important.
But when that bodyguard heard Ko Gohon's words, he instantly perspired profusely and said softly, "iPartment's viewership rating is … is … is 3.5% …"
"What?!" Upon hearing the bodyguard's report, Ko Gohon was instantly stunned. "You're saying that iPartment's viewership ratings are three times ours?! Three times?! Are you sure you're not mistaken?! "
"Yes … yes, Young Master, I'm sure." Now that things had come to this, the bodyguard was ready to risk it all. "I've checked it several times. This number is absolutely correct. Young Master, this round won't do … "
"No! I don't believe that Hong Dali will always be so lucky! " Ko Gohon suddenly fiercely slammed the table. "This program has failed, but we still have the next program, and there's still 'Star Plan'! Even if I lose again this time, we still have the book website, the online game, and the land! I don't believe that Hong Dali will be so lucky every time! "
The bodyguard subconsciously took a step back — otherwise, he would have blushed again …
…
As expected, in the next two days, iPartment completely crushed all the other shows. The viewership ratings of Big Stars of the Nation, which Ko Gohon had invested a lot of money into promoting and producing, kept plummeting, while the viewership ratings of iPartment kept rising, steadily climbing to new heights.
In today's entertainment industry, it was not an exaggeration to say that Li Nianwei was the absolute guarantee of viewership ratings. As long as she appeared in a show, there was absolutely no need to worry about the viewership ratings.
Of course, Ko Gohon wasn't a person who would sit still and wait for death. Very quickly, he thought of a good idea to pull up the viewership ratings — guessing with prizes! As long as the audience could guess a certain question correctly, they would be able to get various kinds of prizes such as cell phones and televisions.
Needless to say, this plan of his was quite successful. Within two days, the viewership ratings of Big Stars of the Nation had been pulled up to 1.9%, and at this time, the viewership ratings of iPartment had already reached 3.8%.
And just as Ko Gohon was intending to use this strategy and use "Star Plan" to make a comeback, a tragedy happened …
Actually, speaking of which, Min Feiyao's tragedy happened very miraculously.
Vincent Iverson, who was in Merika's Hexagon Building far away across the ocean, unintentionally logged into Heavenly State's internet to browse through the news and watch videos. Then, he saw a very big advertisement on So Cool video-sharing website — "Min Feiyao's Live Concert."
With the intention of giving it a try, Vincent Iverson opened the video …
"This female singer Min Feiyao is too flamboyant. She doesn't sing very well, yet she's so high-profile. I'm really surprised." — Vincent Iverson wrote on his Weibo.
Then, tragedy struck Min Feiyao.
First, on the internet forum, a post titled "Min Feiyao is actually a man-made beauty?!" The post was published and attracted the attention of many people. The photos inside were simply amazing. First, it was a photo of a woman who originally looked like Sister Feng on Earth, and then, there were various pictures and illustrations explaining which parts of her face had undergone plastic surgery and which parts hadn't changed. The final result was that 84% of her face had undergone plastic surgery, and only the part of her face that hadn't undergone plastic surgery …
Once such a post was published, it very quickly swept through the entire entertainment industry. Min Feiyao and her manager tried their best to explain, but they still couldn't understand it. After all, the analysis between those two photos was too accurate. And what made Min Feiyao collapse the most was that there would always be a portion of people on the internet who were very frustrated, and yet, those people were very skilled …
First, someone dug out the class she was in when she was in school, and then someone dug out her graduation photo, and they even specially circled her in red …
This time, the entire entertainment industry was completely in an uproar.
It was still acceptable for people to undergo plastic surgery, and it wasn't a problem for them to do a little bit of plastic surgery. But almost her entire face had been changed, and this was really unbearable. If everyone relied on this to survive in the entertainment industry, then how could others survive?
"I really didn't think that she would actually be such a person. Previously, I still thought that she was really a natural beauty." — Celebrity One.
"Actually, in this era, plastic surgery is no longer news. It's understandable to occasionally change one's appearance to make oneself more beautiful. But to do it like this, which is equivalent to changing her face, I really can't accept it." — Celebrity Two.
"This is really out of my expectations. Sigh, this plastic surgery is really insane, it's really … Forget it, I won't say anything more. Anyway, I don't have much interaction with her in the past, and I reckon that we won't have any interaction in the future either." — Celebrity Three.
Imperial Hotel, Presidential Suite Number Four.
"Young Master, save me, quickly save me!" Min Feiyao, who was already close to breaking down, could only beg Ko Gohon to save her now. "You must save me, you must save me. This time, if I can't get through it, it's over, it's all over!"
"Idiot! You useless thing! " Ko Gohon kicked Min Feiyao and furiously said, "You spoiled my plans, and you still dare to beg me to save you! Do you know that because of you, my plan is completely ruined! Completely ruined! Because of your plastic surgery scandal, the television stations don't even dare to broadcast 'Star Plan' anymore, and it's been postponed indefinitely! I've lost another round in my bet with Hong Dali! 20 million, the 20 million USD bet is gone again! "
…
While Ko Gohon was raging, Hong Dali, on the other hand, was lying on Li Nianwei's thighs and comfortably sighing. Then, he asked, "Sister Cai, what's the viewership rating of 'Where Are We Going, Dad'?"
"Young Master, 3.7%. This viewership rating can be said to be quite high." Zhang Cai's face was filled with joy. Recently, there had been an endless stream of people contacting her to request for advertisements, but Zhang Cai had rejected all of them — she knew that Hong Dali had always hated advertisements during programs.
"Oh, then what about Ko Gohon's' Star Plan '?" Hong Dali asked again.
Speaking of this, Zhang Cai wanted to laugh. "Young Master, because of Min Feiyao's plastic surgery scandal, the entire entertainment industry is denouncing her now, so 'Star Plan' was cut off before it was even broadcasted …"
"So pitiful!" Hong Dali stared with his eyes wide open. "This is called 'a just cause enjoys abundant support while an unjust cause finds little support' — Sister Xiaoyi, I'll have to trouble you to bring two people along. I really can't bring myself to see that stinky face of his …"
"OK, Young Master." Ling Xiaoyi nodded.
"Oh right," Hong Dali arranged again. "Don't ask for money, just a car. Our sci-fi town lacks taxis."
"OK." Once Hong Dali's words finished, the surrounding people instantly fell down in laughter. Ko Gohon was sending cars over again!
…
Imperial Hotel.
The bodyguard hurriedly ran into the number four presidential suite and fearfully said, "Young … Young Master, Hong … Hong Dali's people are here!"
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Ko Gohon instantly stood up in shock. "Where are they? Where are they now? "
He had just finished speaking when he heard a gentle and calm female voice. "Hello, Young Master Gohon. I'm Ling Xiaoyi, Young Master Hong Dali's number one lackey. Today, I'm here to collect the stakes for Young Master's bet. Young Master Gohon, your family has a big business, and you're the only successor of the world's sixteenth-ranked Toyoda Conglomerate. I believe you won't be short of Young Master's stakes, right? "
Previously, Ko Gohon had proudly said that his family's assets were now returned to him by Ling Xiaoyi.
As expected, once Ling Xiaoyi said that, Ko Gohon instantly choked.
Although because of Min Feiyao, Ko Gohon's "Star Plan" didn't even get broadcasted, and this was completely an accident, if Ko Gohon really didn't intend to pay this sum of money, it was actually still somewhat understandable.
But now, it was different.
Previously, Ko Gohon had shown off to Hong Dali and almost boasted about his family to the skies. Now that Ling Xiaoyi had returned those words to him, how could Ko Gohon possibly renege on his debt?
"You!" Ko Gohon was fuming with rage. In the end, he fiercely said, "Of course I won't renege on my debt! 20 million USD, it's just pocket money, do you think I'll care? "
"The problem is that our Young Master doesn't care either." Ling Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Our Young Master said that he doesn't want cash and hopes that Young Master Gohon can exchange it for 20 Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousines, because the 10 cars previously at the sci-fi town aren't enough."
