Just as he and Zhao Wanqing were busy rehearsing, "Prison Break" continued to wreak havoc all over the world. The ratings were still rising even though they had reached the limit. The average ratings in Asia exceeded 25%, and Hua Xia reached the highest, reaching 29%. Whether it was the highest ratings or the average ratings, it surpassed "Langya List" and "Water Margin", becoming the highest milestone in the history of Hua Xia TV.
The European and American regions were even more popular. The average ratings in North America successfully exceeded 30% in mid-November, and in Europe, it reached 29%. However, it was believed that 30% would not be a problem before the finale.
It could be said that the entire November was the world of "Prison Break". All the TV stations were wailing and cursing Xiao Yunhai in their hearts countless times.
Even Kree of MGM Grand called and scolded him fiercely to vent his anger. Because of "Prison Break", the Hua Xia MGM Grand TV station that he was in charge of continued to hit a new low in ratings. It had never been so bad since its inception.
Such good ratings made Yunqing TV station make a lot of money. The originally estimated income of more than 10 billion US dollars had taken a big leap. It was already certain that it would exceed 20 billion US dollars. Next, it would depend on the ratings of the second round. If it could still exceed 10%, 30 billion US dollars would no longer be a dream.
30 billion US dollars for a TV series was simply frightening.
The actors of "Prison Break" all joined the Marvel agency as A-list Hollywood actors.
As soon as they signed the contract, the agency threw a lot of scripts to them and let them choose the roles in them. This made them so happy that they almost fainted.
There was only a week left before Yunqing's concert. Li Tianlai, the boss of Tianlai Records, found the two of them.
Xiao Yunhai saw him hesitating and said with a smile, "Boss Li, what's the matter? Just say it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Li Tianlai smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xiao, I really have no other way. The two of you don't have an agent, so the bosses of the music companies all called me. They wanted their singers to perform at your concerts to gain popularity. Now, there are more than 20 singers above the B-list. I really have no other choice, so I came to you to discuss what to do. "
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing's concert not only had a huge impact among fans, but also in the music industry. Countless singers wanted to be their guest performers.
This was because everyone knew that their concert would definitely be broadcasted live on Yun Qing TV Station. No one dared to say how high the ratings would be. In any case, 10% was not a problem.
If they could perform on such a platform, it would be much better than attending a party or other activities. It would be very helpful to their popularity.
Therefore, the second-tier singers and above began to look for connections. Since neither Xiao Yunhai nor Zhao Wanqing had an agent, everyone turned to the organizer, Li Tianlai.
If it were an ordinary singer, Li Tianlai would have made the decision.
However, Xiao Yunhai was an international superstar. He was the son of the richest man in the world. If he didn't agree, Li Tianlai wouldn't dare to make the decision.
In fact, Xiao Yunhai had encountered the same problem as Li Tianlai. His father-in-law, Zhao Mingsheng, had called him several times to ask him to do the same thing.
Xiao Yunhai didn't make it difficult. After discussing with Zhao Wanqing, they all agreed.
They had said before that they would invite more singers. Since everyone came uninvited, it saved him a lot of trouble.
However, Xiao Yunhai didn't accept just anyone. He set a standard that the singers must be above the B-list, and they must have their own famous works.
At the concert, they must sing their own classic works. Xiao Yunhai didn't want to let a piece of rat poop ruin his pot of porridge.
Therefore, when he heard Li Tianlai's words, Xiao Yunhai told him his requirements and said, "Mr. Li, our concert won't be limited to two hours. As long as the fans are willing to listen, it doesn't matter even if it's four hours. Send me the names of the singers and the songs they will perform. As long as the songs are good, there will be no problem. "
Li Tianlai said happily, "That's great. The people who called me are all old friends. I really can't refuse. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I understand. The entertainment circle is a circle of relationships. It's really not easy to deal with. Sometimes it's very difficult. To tell you the truth, my father-in-law gave me five singers, and my other good friends in the circle gave me seven. In addition to your more than ten singers and the ten guests I personally invited, on average, there are only seven or eight singers for each performance. When the time comes, we'll just extend the concert. "
Li Tianlai nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I'll send you the songs they are going to perform."
After Li Tianlai left, Zhao Wanqing, who had been silent all this time, said, "Hubby, it seems that our concert will be at least three hours."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "So what if it's four hours? As long as the fans are happy, it's fine. Honey, you don't need to care about these things. I'll take care of it. You don't seem to be familiar with those new songs. You have to work harder. "
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's all your fault. I just asked you to write a few new songs, but you came up with 18 songs all at once. It's enough to release two albums. I really don't know how your brain works. It's simply amazing. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Honey, it's okay. If you don't like it, I'll sing less."
Zhao Wanqing didn't even think about it and said, "No. I like all these songs. I have to sing them. Hubby, the new songs from your first concert were made into an album and sold tens of millions of copies. Have you ever thought of releasing the new songs from this concert as an album? "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Of course I've thought about it. After the concert, we'll make a super long album of these 18 songs and release it all over the world. I believe that the sales will be very good. We'll also donate all the money. What do you think? "
Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "Okay."
Time flew by. After a month of broadcasting, "Prison Break" finally ended on November 28th.
After statistics, "Prison Break" ended up with an average global viewership of 23%, and the highest viewership was 55%. Without a doubt, it became the most successful television series in the history of television.
The advertising revenue of "Prison Break" was also calculated. After deducting the production, promotion, and entertainment tax expenses, Yunqing Phone Station's final revenue was 17.8 billion US dollars. It was much more than Xiao Yunhai's "2012".
This kind of thing could not be hidden. The next day, the whole world knew about it.
In America, Time Magazine made an emergency adjustment and changed the cover to Xiao Yunhai. Other financial magazines also reported on him and "Prison Break" at the same time.
A television series made 17.8 billion US dollars in profit in the first run. It was enough to scare people to death.
The other television stations all breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for a long time, "Prison Break" finally ended.
In this month, each day felt like a year. They had used countless methods to increase the viewership of their television stations. However, in the face of "Prison Break", they had no effect at all.
Now that "Prison Break" had ended, many of the TV station directors called their friends to celebrate.
What they did not expect was that "Prison Break" was so good that countless viewers wanted to watch it again. They all left comments, hoping that Yunqing Phone Station would air it again at night during prime time. This had never happened before in the history of television in Europe and America.
Abbott, Chen Zhan, and Xiao Yunhai had a short video conference and agreed to the viewers' requests. Yunqing Phone Station would air three episodes of "Prison Break" during prime time.
When the news got out, Prison Break fans were happy to spread the news.
That night, the first three episodes of "Prison Break" were replayed. The lowest viewership was 10%. Although it was far from the first run, compared to other television stations, it was still ridiculously good.
Many of the TV station directors looked at the viewership report and wanted to cry. The second run's viewership was much higher than theirs. How could they accept it?
Xiao Yunhai handed over the matter of "Prison Break" to Abbott and Chen Zhan. He focused all his energy on the concert.
