In its early days, the network had been on the air for less than half a year. It had bought signals and channels in a hurry, so it had neglected the core problem of a TV station.
It didn't have a famous program to support it.
Naturally, the CW was at the bottom of the ratings list.
From the very beginning, it had targeted young women between the ages of 16 and 34. With such a limited fan base, it was actually a very popular TV station.
However, the CW's TV series was currently airing. Because the station was too new and the audience wasn't as popular, the ratings were terrible.
What did a TV station rely on? The popularity of a famous program and its high ratings brought about a large audience.
Only when a TV station has its own fixed and loyal audience can it attract the arrival of real advertisers.
It was a basic cycle. With money, there would be good programs. With good programs, there would be good returns.
When the CW had reached a standstill, Tilla Banks had worked overtime to edit the new "American Top Model". She had pushed the program to the forefront.
The CW had chosen a very smart time slot. It was the time when most of the summer students were on vacation, and their judges were controversial in every student's heart.
The CW had been promoting the program for two weeks in advance. That day, it was time to test the program's value.
It was nighttime.
Qin Guan's most loyal American fans were sitting on the sofa. They had all been attracted by the announcement on his official blog.
It was said that there would be a new program on CW that night, with Qin Guan as a special guest and a judge. It would be a chance for the audience to get to know their idol better than anyone else.
Of course, no one would let go of such an opportunity.
Of course, most of the young girls watching CW in front of the TV were students who were attracted by the continuous bombardment of advertisements.
Yes, they were here to see what kind of surprises this TV station could bring them, which suited their tastes.
The screen lit up and the program began.
"Hi, I'm Sylar from Indiana. I'm 175 centimeters tall..."
Then there was an ordinary-looking tall girl, talking to herself as she filmed a video of the primary.
The girl sitting on the sofa twitched her mouth in disdain and shouted at her mother, who had her back to her.
"Mom, come and see. This girl has the nerve to send a video to the National Top Model contest. She's not even as pretty as me. Isn't that right, Mama? "
His mother placed the freshly baked biscuits on a tray and calmly brought the juice over to the TV.
"Let me see, oh, what is my baby looking at?"
"Look, Mom, this is the National Top Model competition. As long as you're 16 and have confidence in yourself, you can sign up for it, regardless of race, height, or weight."
After listening to such conditions, her mother, who was disdainful of them, followed her daughter's heart and agreed.
"Aiyo, my baby, one look and I can tell that this is a new program. Maybe it's just a crudely made parody program? Look at the standard of these preliminary contestants. If they can all be selected, then wouldn't my baby be able to win the championship with his eyes closed? "
Her mother sat down on the sofa and the two of them leisurely ate biscuits and drank juice, commenting on the new program.
Never underestimate the competitive mentality of any woman, even if she was already in her seventies or eighties and might not even have a few teeth left.
The official discussion forum, which had been set up for the Super Model Competition, instantly became lively.
"As a beauty queen from Oklahoma, I smile."
"Is Oklahoma a state in the United States? I smile too. "
There were all sorts of venomous comments, so sharp that even the contestants' hair accessories were brought out to be hung up and beaten up.
The contestants of the first season of the National Top Model were the most concerned about the effect of the broadcast. Although many of them had already entered the modeling world through this program, they still paid close attention to it, hoping to get a better understanding of the audience's reaction.
Of course, when they started reading the comments from the audience, their noses were already crooked from anger.
Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia Banks and Jay Alexander appeared on the screen. The audience and the Internet exploded in an instant.
"Oh my god! What did I just see? Banks, one of the top female models in the world! "
"Jay Alexander, the principal of the J Model Training School, is under pressure. I'm not dreaming, am I? '
"No, you must be dreaming. Look who did they invite? The top male model, Qin Guan! I wonder if he has gotten rid of his troubles after being pursued by three female stars at the same time. "
As the most important figures in the fashion circle appeared one by one, the audience in front of their TVs began to change their disdainful views.
The CW had definitely spent a lot of money to invite so many big shots in the fashion circle. They would definitely turn the program into gold in a different way.
Everyone's attention was on the ordinary girls, who looked like ugly ducklings. As the program was broadcasted, everyone's attention was drawn to it.
On the TV, Qin Guan walked calmly on the runway. The girl and her mother forgot to swallow the biscuits in their hands.
The male model on the TV was so dazzling that the 13 ugly ducklings looked dull in comparison.
When Qin Guan told the contestants to walk on the catwalk according to his instructions, the mother and daughter came back to their senses, just like the audience.
"I don't know what the program team is thinking. What kind of grudge do they have against the contestants? Why would they invite such a judge to make them look worse?"
