Chapter 259: "Yearning" premieres: Horrible ratings
"The gods secretly pronounced the verdict: Lin Qianqian and her husband were sentenced to death. They appealed in court..."
"Death sentence imposed, the truth about the WeChat business empire revealed..."
"It's their own fault. Lin Qianqian and Zhang Yang have been sentenced to death..."
"The alarm bells are ringing..."
After the trial, the entire Chinese Internet was in an uproar.
Not only online, but also various official media outlets have expressed their opinions. After all, this case has a huge impact and involves too many people.
Now that this case has become a typical case, everyone must express their opinions.
Many netizens who hadn't seen the verdict were also shocked after seeing the news. The death penalty is very rare. You know, China is very cautious about the death penalty.
The death penalty is rarely imposed unless the crime is extremely serious. Many netizens initially thought that Lin Qianqian was simply selling counterfeit cosmetics and organizing a pyramid scheme, and that a sentence of ten or twenty years would be sufficient.
Who would have thought that he would be sentenced to death? But after reading the news, everyone finally understood why he was sentenced to death. The charges involved were too numerous, and the amount of money involved was enormous.
For example, illegally selling counterfeit and substandard products is considered a serious offense if the amount exceeds two million. The maximum penalty is life imprisonment. However, Lin Qianqian's WeChat business empire isn't just two million; over the past few years, its total sales have reached tens of billions.
Therefore, a life sentence is not excessive at all.
Besides, the crime of bribery is also extremely huge in amount and can also be sentenced to life imprisonment.
Lin Qianqian and her husband are big stars with great influence, and they have many celebrities supporting them. That's why they earn so much, but the more they earn, the more serious the crime.
Their illegal income alone totaled over 3 billion yuan, a figure sufficient for ten executions. Although the two individuals appealed, many people, seeing the charges, knew that appealing would not change the outcome. The original verdict would likely be upheld, meaning they would simply spend a few more days in prison.
The other shareholders also received heavy penalties. Although there was no death penalty, many received sentences of more than 20 years. For them, there was no hope of turning things around in this lifetime.
It was lively and became a hot topic on the Internet.
This news not only caused heated discussions in China, but also abroad. Seeing China's verdict, many foreign media and foreign netizens could not help but discuss it.
Some say that the sentence imposed by China is too harsh and lacks human rights.
Some people also say that those who support Huaxia should be sentenced to death.
In short, everyone has their own opinion, but it has no impact on China.
After the verdict was announced, besides Lin Qianqian and the others being excited, Su Yang's Weibo became lively again.
"Brother Yang is so impressive, he's truly worthy of being a prosecutor in the entertainment industry..."
"This medal of honor is half due to Brother Yang..."
"I thank Brother Yang on behalf of the victim..."
"Brother Yang is so powerful..."
"I'm a victim and I'm here to thank Brother Yang. Part of the money I was defrauded of has been returned. Thank you..."
"A great hero in the entertainment industry..."
Countless netizens were buzzing with excitement under Su Yang's Weibo post. After all, Su Yang had put a lot of effort into this case. The trigger was that Su Yang's sister-in-law was secretly harmed by the immortals, which was why Su Yang started investigating this matter.
If it weren't for Su Yang, perhaps Lin Qianqian and Shenxian Mimi would still be taking advantage of others, and a steady stream of people would be deceived.
Heroes, now Lin Qianqian and the others have received the punishment they deserve. And netizens also came to cheer and encourage Su Yang, the hero.
During this period of time, Su Yang's Weibo fans increased dramatically again.
Su Yang, who was far away in Sanshan Village, also gained a lot of popularity.
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
In the room, Qin Shuyao saw that Su Yang was in a bad mood and couldn't help but ask softly.
"I didn't expect they would be sentenced to death..."
Su Yang couldn't help but say. At this moment, Su Yang really felt a little uncomfortable, an indescribable feeling. Although the skin-exposing show had exposed artists, those artists had simply left the entertainment industry.
But this time was different. Lin Qianqian and Zhang Yang were directly sentenced to death. This was a different story, especially since they had three children.
This time, he became their father's murderer. Although the two deserved it, as children, they must feel that if it weren't for Su Yang, their parents would not have been in trouble.
This is human nature, so Su Yang feels uncomfortable.
"You didn't do anything wrong. If you hadn't done it, more people might have died. You didn't kill them either. They just deserved it."
Qin Shuyao gently took Su Yang into her arms and whispered. Qin Shuyao didn't know how to comfort Su Yang, after all, she had never experienced such a thing.
No one else in the entertainment industry has experienced this either. Now all Qin Shuyao can give is her tenderness to Su Yang.
Feeling Qin Shuyao's warm embrace, Su Yang's mood slowly recovered.
"Yeah, I'm fine..."
Su Yang said softly, then put his ear gently on Qin Shuyao's belly. At this moment, the little guy actually started to make a fuss in the belly.
"Wife, it's moving again..."
Su Yang smiled happily. He could feel the fetus moving these past few days. The four little ones were quite naughty, moving many times a day. Feeling the children's movements through his belly made Su Yang feel much better.
Yes, you will suffer the consequences of your own actions.
If you obey the law, you will never be sentenced to death no matter how hard you try.
I have a clear conscience about what I have done. I haven't done anything bad, so why should I feel sorry for the criminal?
After realizing this, and considering the little ones' noise, Su Yang felt much better.
Seeing Su Yang's smile, Qin Shuyao also smiled. At this moment, all Qin Shuyao's heart was on her children and Su Yang. As for the affairs of the entertainment industry and her own work, Qin Shuyao didn't care at all. Now, what could be more important than her children and husband?
The sudden incident caused Su Yang's popularity to soar.
Not only that, but the popularity of "Longing for Life" has also skyrocketed. You know, tonight is the day when "Longing for Life" is broadcast.
Various information about "Longing for Life" has also been leaked by Yanjing TV in recent days. This program was planned by Su Yang.
Su Yang is the chief planner and is considered the biggest contributor to this show. Wang Xu, the chief director, has less credit than the chief planner. The most important thing for a variety show is the program planner.
Su Yang has also planned many variety shows, including "Metamorphosis", "Wild Survival", "Su Yang Show", and now "Longing for Life" is the fourth variety show planned by Su Yang.
This talent once again made fans talk about it, and coupled with Lin Qianqian's sentencing today, the anticipation for "Longing for Life" exploded. After all, Lin Qianqian's case had just been in the news and the focus was very hot.
Most people wouldn't dare to take advantage of this popularity. However, "A Longing for Life" perfectly took advantage of this popularity. Because "A Longing for Life" was not only planned by Su Yang, the first episode trailer also announced that Su Yang and Qin Shuyao would participate in the recording of this episode.
All these things combined made the popularity of "A Longing for Life" soar to the sky.
It's not even 8pm yet at Yanjing TV. There are still a few minutes until "Longing for Life" starts, but the ratings are already going up.
A large amount of audience ratings data poured into Yanjing TV Station. Looking at the soaring data, the station director couldn't help but take a breath.
This data is too exaggerated.
It's commercial time now, not the show "Longing for Life" yet. The ratings are already about to break 3.
Moreover, the ratings are still rising. At this rate, no one knows what the ratings of "A Longing for Life" will be tonight.
"Master, it's broken three..."
With only one commercial left before the show started, a staff member's words made the station director's eyes widen.
Damn, that's too much. The ratings broke 3. "Su Yang Show" was already very popular before, but it only barely broke 3 when the last episode was more than halfway through.
But this is already incredible. Now "Longing for Life" has not even started airing, but it has already broken 3, which is simply too crazy.
"Oh. If only I could keep them all..."
The station director also knew the reason behind "A Longing for Life"'s such stats. It was simply because this episode was so perfectly executed. Who could have imagined that Lin Qianqian and the others would be sentenced to death tonight?
Coupled with the publicity from various media, the great hero Su Yang was once again mentioned by everyone.
The variety show planned and participated by the hero is about to premiere. The popularity of this show is naturally perfect, which is why it has such a hot topic.
It’s a great start. This time, "A Longing for Life" can be said to have a great start, but whether it can maintain and retain these ratings depends on the quality of the work.
"Mom, it's started, hurry up..."
In a residential building in Yanjing, a young girl shouted as she watched the life she had longed for begin.
"Here it comes..."
A middle-aged woman in her forties came into the crowded living room carrying a plate of fruit. The mother and daughter wanted to watch the same program at the same time.
The girl wants to see Su Yang, while her mother wants to see Li Zhengwen.
This time, it's perfect.
In this era, it is rare for two generations to sit together and watch a variety show. After all, everyone has different preferences.
For example, when it comes to watching TV series, my daughter likes to watch costume dramas and modern dramas, while my mother likes to watch spy dramas and anti-Japanese war dramas.
Now, "A Longing for Life" has harvested two generations of audiences at once.
Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei, their fans are mostly in their 40s and 50s. They have elderly parents and young children, and are the pillars of their families.
Su Yang and Qin Shuyao’s fans are all young people in their teens, twenties or early thirties.
The participation of these two couples in the program directly attracted people born in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and even the 2000s.
This audience is quite large, which is why it has such a terrifying viewership rating. Such a fantastic start is not just due to the popularity of Lin Qianqian and others.
