Chapter 115: Breaking the Rating Record
The next day, at seven o’clock in the morning, Jiangrong International Airport.
Fang Xiaole walked into the T3 terminal with his travel bag on his back. Today, he and Zhang Zhiqin are going to Nanshuangbanna to select a location for the recording of “Longing for Life”.
To be precise, find a suitable farm house.
There is a big yard, wild flowers covered with wooden fences, coconut trees standing in front of the door, quaint pavilions, and romantic swings.
There is an earthen stove full of firewood, a bunk bedroom for three people, a creaky wooden staircase, a silly dog, and a dumb goose.
The house is best to be surrounded by mountains and rivers. You can pick wild vegetables up the mountain and fish for fresh fish down the river. There is an acre of fertile land around, and there are simple villages nearby.
If you can live with her in such a farmhouse, men work with women and weave during the day, sit on the roof and watch the stars at night, and then sleep together…
“Brother Fang, Brother Fang!”
When Fang Xiaole’s thinking gradually shifted from making a show to an unknown direction, an unpleasant voice interrupted his beautiful reverie.
“Zhang Zhiqin, you arrived so early?”
Fang Xiaole calmed down and pulled away Zhang Zhiqin’s palm that had been swaying in front of him.
“I was so excited last night that I couldn’t sleep!”
Zhang Zhiqin held two panda eyes, but his face was full of excitement.
“What’s so happy? It’s easy to get old when you stay up late.”
Fang Xiaole pointed to Zhang Zhiqin’s full-faced young white, and asked strangely.
“Brother Fang, you are OUT. This is called natural white. It’s cool! By the way, didn’t you watch the show?”
Zhang Zhiqin proudly plucked her white bangs, and then asked in surprise.
“I watched it, and fell asleep after watching it, thinking about catching a plane this morning.”
Fang Xiaole replied.
“Have you not read the evaluation of our program on the Internet?” Zhang Zhiqin became excited again:
“Blasted! Word of mouth burst!”
“How burst?”
Fang Xiaole is actually very confident in this episode. After all, the quality of the “shadow” is there, but he didn’t think too much about what kind of popularity it could achieve after the broadcast.
Do your best, but listen to the flowers.
However, Fang Xiaole also got a little itchy when he heard Zhang Zhiqin’s words. He took out his mobile phone and entered an entertainment website. A big headline on the homepage came into view.
“Super Challenge” creates the pinnacle of domestic variety shows!
This is a report that has just been issued, and the whole article is a tribute to the third phase of the Super Challenge.
Words of praise such as “unprecedented”, “comparable to a suspenseful blockbuster”, “domestic variety show is no longer a flow + awkward performance” and other words of praise filled this report, and Fang Xiaole was in a good mood.
In addition to this headline, there are seven or eight news about last night’s “Super Challenge”. Among them, Lin Yao, Hong Sanshi and Zhu Xun have received a lot of praise for their performance.
“Brother Fang, it’s more than that, go to Weibo and check it out.”
At the reminder of Zhang Zhiqin, Fang Xiaole entered Weibo and saw the title of the top searched title:
“I will win by killing everyone.”
This is what Lin Yao said when killing Lei Tao and Zhu Xun at the end of the show, regardless of the enemy and us. He unexpectedly made it on the hot search list and ranked first!
Although Lin Yao’s recent popularity is very high, she is not yet in the top line in China’s music scene. There are many top-tier and top singers in front of her, and even the king of singers and queens.
Ordinarily, she is far from the point where she can be number one in the hot search by just saying a word.
This should be added to the super challenge program.
Fang Xiaole flipped it down, and sure enough, there were several hot searches on the super challenge and a few popular guests.
Even a second-line actor like Zhu Xun who is a little outrageous has rejuvenated. Someone on Weibo broke the news that after the show was broadcast last night, a spy crew would ask him to act as a spy…
In a word, with the wonderful “shadow”, the super challenge has become the hottest topic in the entertainment industry in the past two days.
At this moment, Li Wan called and Fang Xiaole answered.
“Director Li, good morning.”
“Xiao Fang, it broke 2.5, and the ratings of that episode last night broke 2.5!”
On the phone, the voice of Director Li, who has always been serious and capable, trembled slightly, and there were cheers from the program staff beside him.
“Really broken 2.5?”
Fang Xiaole was a little surprised. He remembered that the highest record of ratings for variety shows seemed to be around 2.3%. If the ratings of Super Challenge last night really passed 2.5, wouldn’t it be a record-breaking?
“Just got the data, our ratings are 2.51%!”
Li Wan paused, finally letting her voice no longer tremble, but she was still full of excitement that could not be concealed.
“2.51%, is it a record-breaking?”
Fang Xiaole found that he was surprisingly calm. On the contrary, Zhang Zhiqin, who was next to him, heard the “2.51%” figure and shouted excitedly, attracting strange eyes from the surroundings.
“Yeah, the record is broken, the record is broken!”
Li Wan sighed and said sincerely:
“Thank you, Xiao Fang, you saved this show.”
Fang Xiaole hurriedly said: “Director Li, don’t say that. I just wrote a few issues of planning. The achievement of the super challenge today is the hard work of you and everyone in the program group.”
Li Wan was silent for a moment, and she was not that sensational, so she continued talking about work:
“I heard Director Chen said that the station requested that the new show on Thursday at ten o’clock should be broadcast in mid-October. The leader wants you to compete with Yunhai Channel’s “Huaer Show”. Are you sure?”
There was nothing to hide in front of Li Wan, Fang Xiaole answered honestly:
“I don’t know. I haven’t even decided on the recording location now. I can’t think of that far for a while, so try my best.”
Li Wan seemed to smile and comforted:
“Don’t worry. Although the planning of your show is simple, it is very innovative. If Nanshuangbanna is not good enough, you can stop by Yunxi to have a look. The climate and scenery there are also good.”
“I see, thank you Director Li.”
Li Wan said apologetically: “I haven’t touched the type of new programs. I can’t give you valuable advice. You have to find out on your own.”
Fang Xiaole quickly said: “Guide Li, you have helped me a lot. Brother Luo and Zhiqin Zhang are both your right-hand assistants. You specifically asked them to come over. I understand this love.”
Needless to say, Zhang Zhiqin, Luo Hui’s director of “Longing for Life” was probably Li Wan’s suggestion to the leader.
Luo Hui was chosen because he did not have much ambition, he would not conflict with himself for the voice of the program group, and at the same time he had enough experience to be able to smoothly pass this crucial period of gilding his resume.
I helped so much, but Li Wan didn’t say much. This is her character, but Fang Xiaole can’t pretend to be ignorant.
“Okay, I have something else to do. Please pay attention to your safety outside, bye bye.”
After being told bluntly about silently helping, Li Wan hung up the phone in a hurry.
Fang Xiaole looked at the hacked mobile phone screen and couldn’t help but smile.
Director Li actually felt embarrassed sometimes.
After passing the security check with Zhang Zhiqin, there is still a while to board the plane. The two of them sat in the waiting hall to rest.
At this time, Fang Xiaole’s cell phone rang again.
It is an unfamiliar number.
“Hello.”
Fang Xiaole connected, and a rather elegant voice came from the other side.
“Hey, hello, is it Fang Xiaole?”
“I am, may I ask you?”
“Hello teacher Fang, my name is Chen Zhi, and I am Huang Yin’s agent.”
