Chapter 113 Breaking the Ratings Record
The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Rong International Airport.
Fang Xiaole walked into Terminal T3 with a travel bag on his back. Today he and Zhang Zhiqin will go to Nanshuangbanna to select a recording location for "Longing for Life".
Specifically, finding a suitable farmhouse.
There are large yards, wildflowers covered with wooden fences, coconut trees standing in front of the gate, quaint small pavilions, and romantic swings.
There is an earthen stove kitchen full of firewood, a bunk bedroom that can sleep three people, creaking wooden stairs, and silly dogs and big clumsy geese.
The house is best surrounded by mountains and rivers. You can pick wild vegetables when you go up the mountain, and catch fresh fish when you go down the river. There is an acre of fertile fields around, and there are simple villages nearby.
If I could live with her in a farmhouse like this, weaving and weaving during the day, sitting on the roof watching the stars at night, and then sleeping together...
"Brother Fang, Brother Fang!"
When Fang Xiaole's thinking gradually shifted from making a show to an unknown direction, an annoying voice interrupted his beautiful reverie.
"Zhang Zhiqin, are you here so early?"
Fang Xiaole collected himself, and pushed away Zhang Zhiqin's dangling palm.
"I was so excited last night, I couldn't sleep all the time!"
Zhang Zhiqin had two panda eyes, but his face was full of excitement.
"What's so happy? It's easy to get old if you stay up all night."
Fang Xiaole pointed to Zhang Zhiqin's boyish white hair, 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.
"After reading it, I fell asleep after reading it, thinking that I have to catch a plane this morning."
Fang Xiaole replied.
"Didn't you read the comments on our program on the Internet?" Zhang Zhiqin became excited again:
"It exploded! Word of mouth exploded!"
"How many bursts?"
Fang Xiaole is actually very confident about this episode of the program, after all, the quality of "Dark Flowers" is there, but he didn't think too much about what kind of popularity it will achieve after the broadcast.
Do your best, but listen to the flowers bloom.
But after hearing what Zhang Zhiqin said, Fang Xiaole also felt itchy. 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 released, and the whole article is full of praise for the third issue of Super Challenge.
Praise words such as "unprecedented", "comparable to suspense blockbusters", "domestic variety shows are no longer traffic + embarrassing performances" are full of praise in this report, and Fang Xiaole is in a happy mood watching it.
In addition to this headline, there are seven or eight other news about "Super Challenge" last night, among which the performances of Lin Yao, Hong Sanshi and Zhu Xun all received a lot of praise.
"Brother Fang, this is more than that, you go to Weibo to see."
Under Zhang Zhiqin's reminder,
Fang Xiaole entered Weibo, and suddenly saw the number one most searched headline:
"Kill everyone and I win."
This is what Lin Yao said at the end of the show when he killed Lei Tao and Zhu Xun regardless of the enemy or himself. Unexpectedly, it was on the hot search list, and it was also ranked first!
Although Lin Yao's recent popularity is very high, she is not yet at the top of the Chinese music scene. There are many first-line, top singers, and even queens of singers ahead of her.
Ordinarily, she is far from being able to be the number one in the hot search with just a word.
This should be an addition to the super challenging program.
Fang Xiaole scrolled down, and sure enough, the super challenge and several popular guests accounted for several hot searches.
Even Zhu Xun, a slightly outdated second-line actor, has rejuvenated. Someone on Weibo broke the news that after the show was broadcast last night, a spy war crew asked him to act as a spy...
In short, with the wonderful "Dark Flowers", Super Challenge has become the hottest topic in the entertainment circle these two days.
At this time, Li Wan called and Fang Xiaole answered.
"Director Li, good morning."
"Xiao Fang, it's broken 2.5, the ratings of that episode last night broke 2.5!"
On the phone, Director Li's voice, which has always been serious and capable, trembled slightly, and there were cheers from the program staff beside him.
"Is it really broken 2.5?"
Fang Xiaole was a little surprised. He remembered that the highest ratings of variety shows seemed to be around 2.3%. If the ratings of Super Challenge last night really exceeded 2.5, wouldn’t it be a record?
"Just got the data, our ratings are 2.51%!"
Li Guan paused, and finally his voice stopped trembling, but it was still full of unconcealable excitement.
"2.51%, is it a record breaking?"
Fang Xiaole found that he was surprisingly calm, but Zhang Zhiqin next to him heard the data of "2.51%" and shouted excitedly, attracting strange looks from around.
"Yeah, the record is broken, the record is broken!"
Li Wan sighed, and then said sincerely:
"Thank you, Xiao Fang, you saved this show."
Fang Xiaole hurriedly said: "Director Li, please don't say that. I just wrote a few episodes of planning. The super challenge today's achievement is the hard work of you and everyone in the program team."
Li Wan was silent for a moment, she was not the kind of sensational character, so she continued to talk about work:
"I heard from Director Chen that the new show at 40 o'clock on Thursdays will be aired in mid-October. The leader wants you to compete with Yunhaitai's "Hua'er Show". Are you sure?"
There is nothing to hide in front of Li Wan, Fang Xiaole replied honestly:
"I don't know. I haven't even decided on the recording location yet. I can't think that far for a while. Let's do our best."
Li Wan seemed to smile, and comforted him:
"Don't worry. Although the planning of your show is simple, it is very innovative. If Nanshuangbanna is not available, you can stop by Yunxi. The climate and scenery there are not bad."
"Understood, thank you Director Li."
Li Wan said slightly apologetically: "I haven't come into contact with the types of new programs, so I can't give you valuable advice. You have to explore it yourself."
Fang Xiaole quickly said: "Director Li, you have helped me a lot. Brother Luo and Zhang Zhiqin are both your right-hand assistants. I understand that you specially asked them to come here."
Needless to say Zhang Zhiqin, Luo Hui's role as the director of "Longing for Life" is probably Li Wan's suggestion to the leader.
Luo Hui was chosen because he did not have too much ambition and would not conflict with himself for the right to speak in the program group. At the same time, he had enough experience to allow himself to smoothly pass through this critical period of gilding his resume.
She helped so much, but Li Wan didn't say much, it was her character, but Fang Xiaole couldn't pretend not to know.
"Okay, I still have something to do, you stay safe outside, bye."
Li Wan hastily hung up the phone after being told that he was silently helping.
Fang Xiaole looked at the blacked out phone screen and couldn't help smiling.
Director Li actually felt embarrassed sometimes.
After going through the security check with Zhang Zhiqin, there was still a while before they could board the plane, and the two sat in the waiting hall to rest.
At this time, Fang Xiaole's cell phone rang again.
It's an unfamiliar number.
"Hello."
Fang Xiaole connected, and a rather elegant voice came from the opposite side.
"Hi, hello, is this Fang Xiaole?"
"I am, may I ask you?"
"Hello, Teacher Fang, my name is Chen Zhi, and I'm Huang Yin's manager."
