Chapter 462: The hit variety show of the year!
[This bowl is big~
Don't let your vanity get in the way . To be
honest~
This big bowl of wide noodles is also very expensive...]
In the waiting room backstage of Mango TV, Jin Chen was humming a melody while waiting for her assistant to help her remove her makeup.
"Ha!"
A small scream suddenly came from behind her, and at the same time, someone patted her left shoulder. Jin Chen looked to the right without thinking, and sure enough, she saw her best friend hiding next to her with a smirk on her face.
"I can't scare you now, it's not fun at all." Li Yitong said dissatisfiedly.
Jin Chen sighed: "It's been so many years, girl, you only know this trick, no matter how timid you are, you should be desensitized."
"Then you can cooperate with me."
Li Yitong sat down beside her: "You have nothing to do later, right? Teacher He said that if there is no schedule, let's have a meal together."
The two had just finished recording Mango TV's flagship program "Happy Camp", the purpose of which was to promote "Amazing Girls" starring the two of them.
"Are you all going? Teacher He wants to invite so many people?" Jin Chen was surprised.
In addition to their crew, this episode also features several leading actors from the recently aired "The Road to Awakening". Add in the five hosts from the Happy Family, and there are more than a dozen in total.
As the flagship variety show of Mango TV, "Happy Camp" has a history of more than 20 years. Although it has been innovating, it is slowly going downhill. In the past two years, it has also begun to maintain its popularity and ratings by piling up celebrities, focusing on a "human sea tactic".
"Haven't you been to "Happy Camp" before? After each episode, Teacher He will invite all the guests who recorded that episode to have a meal together."
"Well, I came twice many years ago. But at that time, I had just debuted, and many things were arranged by the agent. Basically, I left after recording." Jin Chen sighed: "No wonder they say that Teacher He has a wide network of contacts in the circle, and it's not for nothing."
"That's for sure." Li Yitong said: "By the way, I wanted to ask you just now. I've been listening to you singing "Big Bowl of Wide Noodles" these two days. Why, do you suddenly start to like that 'freestyle brother'?"
"No, no, no, we can't afford that one." Jin Chen said hurriedly.
"You look disgusted... Is there any gossip?" Li Yitong leaned closer, her face full of enthusiasm for gossip.
"Don't you know? I, an 18th-tier artist, have heard of all the famous playboys in the circle."
"Tsk, I thought it was something else. Lustful, all men are like this... Including that guy."
"Hey, you are insulting Teacher Meng a little bit. Compared with that rapper Wu, Teacher Meng can be called a moral role model."
"Is it so outrageous?"
"More than outrageous, I also heard..."
Jin Chen leaned close to her bestie's ear and whispered a few words.
"Ah!" Li Yitong opened her eyes wide, "Isn't this illegal?"
"It's all hearsay, there's no evidence. If the person involved doesn't sue him, who can do anything about it." Jin Chen rolled his eyes, "There are many people in the circle who are worse than him. Anyway, we don't have any intersection, so why bother with them."
"Yeah." Li Yitong nodded, "Think about it this way, our President Meng is indeed a good man."
"...As long as you are happy."
Li Yitong gave her man a little red flower in her heart, and then asked: "Then why have you been singing this song these days? You can't be because you think it sounds good."
"It's okay, not bad, but mainly because this is the song selected for our first performance stage, and I haven't had much chance to practice during the recent promotion. I thought I would get more familiar with it, at least memorize the lyrics first."
"Oh, right, I forgot that you are now a trainee in a girl group. Congratulations."
Jin Chen waved his hands exaggeratedly: "No, no, I can't compare to our 'chosen girl group face who rejected SM twice in a row'."
Li Yitong smiled with her eyes curved: "The marketing account is just exaggerating. I just rejected their scouts and didn't even know which way SM's door opens."
"It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you would have to return to China to film like Senior Sister Song Qian after so many years of debut."
Li Yitong suddenly smiled, and seeing Jin Chen looking at her puzzledly, she explained with a smile: "I suddenly remembered that Meng Bai told me before that the annual output value of the entire Korean entertainment industry is not as good as the annual turnover of domestic mobile games, and they brag about how popular Korean wave is all over the world every day."
"Haha, this Teacher Meng is too mean, but it's okay."
"By the way, I almost forgot to ask." Li Yitong said: "I thought your show should be broadcast in the next two days? I forgot to check the specific day."
"Tsk tsk, you don't care about me at all, it's heartbreaking." Jin Chen joked, "Next Monday, the first episode will be broadcast at noon the day after tomorrow, and the second episode will be broadcast on Friday."
"The day after tomorrow, right? I remember, I will definitely canvass votes for you in the circle of friends as soon as possible... You won't be eliminated in the first round, right?"
"... Thank you for worrying about me, but there is still a revival match after elimination!"
"Really? That would be so boring."
"..."
——Like
Li Yitong's idea, as "sisters" who have debuted for many years, who doesn't have a few friends in the circle.
So during this period, you can see some celebrities posting on Weibo to express their support.
Some people with good connections even forwarded several messages.
If you want to say who is the most tired, it must be Huang Xiaoming, the "initiator" and "host" of this program.
As the saying goes, every generation of flowers has its own peace dove, just like every time the "85 flowers" are on the same stage, Hu Ge must be placed in the middle. In the earlier batch of Mesozoic era, Huang Xiaoming naturally took this position.
He was specially invited to be the host of this program in order to suppress these famous "sisters" in the circle.
Even though he had enough face, he still sent 30 messages in one go to make it fair, @ing every "sister" and specially marking that they were sorted by the "first letter of the surname".
"Ding~"
A WeChat notification sounded, Chen Zhixi glanced at her phone and laughed: "Who said our program has no influence? The canvassing group has been pulled to me."
After that, she glanced at Meng Bai who was calm and composed at the side: "Mr. Meng looks quite relaxed, doesn't anyone pull you?"
"Yes, there are many." Meng Bai said.
"I haven't seen you watch it?"
"I'm a person who treats everyone equally. All groups are do not disturb. When I watch it depends on when I remember it."
Chen Zhixi was stunned: "I was wondering why I always waited so long to reply every time I @ you in the group. I thought you were busy. Aren't you afraid of missing any news?"
Meng Bai spread his hands: "Things that can be asked in the group are generally not very important. If there is really something important and I don't reply, you will just call me."
"...That's not wrong."
The two are now in the platform operation department of Hengten Network. The first episode of "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" will be online at noon today, and they are waiting to see the broadcast data.
People come and go in the big office, and everyone's movements are much faster than usual.
The platform has invested so much, and everyone knows the importance of this project.
If it succeeds, promotion and salary increase are just around the corner; if it doesn't, then a large number of people will have to pack up and leave.
In this cold winter of film and television capital, all companies are tightening their investment. It's rare to have a new platform and there is still a chance. No one wants to be unemployed after just a few days of work.
Time passed by second by second, and as noon approached, the atmosphere in the room began to become tense.
The creators of the program were doing the final check before going online. The staff of Heng Video were all staring at the screen to ensure that there would be no accidents when the program was launched.
The programmers of the technical team also put their hands on the keyboard, pretending to be ready to face the platform crash at any time.
Of course, this situation is actually unlikely to happen, after all, Heng Video's server and bandwidth are the highest configuration, but we always have to match the atmosphere of our colleagues.
Meng Bai opened the Heng Video APP on his phone. Seeing that the time had passed twelve o'clock, he refreshed the page.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the buffering time seems to be a little slower than usual.
"OK, everything is normal on the platform."
"Background data is normal."
"Server equipment is normal."
"..."
Like a gust of wind blowing, the office instantly became noisy. Each group reported the status on their side, fearing that there would be problems.
Fortunately, everyone was well prepared and no one fell behind.
Next, we have to look at the playback data.
Meng Bai clicked on "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves", which is in the most conspicuous position on the cover of the homepage. The buffering circle turned for two seconds, and then the title of the first episode appeared on the screen.
This is the biggest advantage of the Heng Video platform. Except for the implantation and broadcasting within the program, there are no advertisements. Click to see the main film.
"The color scheme of the picture seems a little dark." Meng Bai said: "And it's not 4K quality, it doesn't look like it."
Chen Zhixi glanced at him and said: "Boss Meng, do you usually watch our own platform? In order to ensure smoothness, the default resolution is 1080p. To open 4K, you have to adjust it manually."
Because it is charged for all platforms, there is no such thing as non-members, so the resolution standard on the horizontal video platform is also very simple, just 720, 1080 and 4K.
Compared with traditional video platforms, the technology of streaming media platforms takes up less bandwidth of users and is faster, so it can support higher picture quality.
Meng Bai did not drag the progress bar, but watched it normally from the beginning.
Although he had watched the entire recording process before, the live and post-edited programs are still different.
Many scenes that flashed by at the time immediately had different meanings under the intentional close-ups and slow-motion emphasis of the program team.
Du Yan is worthy of being a variety show person from the Mango TV series, and she is still very good at making things happen.
Even Meng Bai was skeptical after watching for a while. Was the show still the scene he had watched at that time?
After watching for a while, he clicked on the comment area under the video. Although the show has just been launched, there are already quite a few comments.
However, at present, they are basically fans who "confess" or "support" a certain sister, and there are no interesting comments or comments about the show.
After watching for a long time, the head of the operation department ran over: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Meng, the 30-minute retention rate of the show and the playback data are out."
For variety shows, there is a saying of "333 retention", which refers to the 30-minute retention of the first episode, the retention of the first three episodes of a season, and the retention of the third season of a series.
Those who can watch the 30 minutes will generally watch the entire episode. Those who have watched three episodes can generally catch up to the end of this season. And the show that can survive the third season means that it has attracted a group of loyal fans, and as long as it is not too bad, it can continue to shoot.
In fact, for other platforms, there is also a "six-minute retention", which represents the conversion rate of paying users. However, there are no "free users" in horizontal videos, so naturally there is no such saying.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Meng, this is the data currently counted by the platform backend. The 30-minute retention rate is 72%, the current number of active online users is 160,000, the weighted heat value is 10,000+, and the total cumulative playback volume is 11 million."
Meng Bai looked at the data report in front of him, and the head of the operations department also thoughtfully called up the data comparison of "Youth With You 2" and "Creation Camp 2020".
The 30-minute retention rate belongs to the internal data of the platform, which they certainly cannot see, but the other items are still very clear.
The number of online viewers of the same first episode of the show, the peak data of the other two is 150,000+ and 90,000+, respectively, with an obvious gap.
In terms of heat value, "Youth With You 2" is similar, and the first episode barely broke 10,000. "Creation Camp 2020" suffered from being sandwiched in the middle. Until now, in the fifth episode, the heat is still hovering around 9,000.
There is no doubt that in terms of the opening heat alone, "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" slightly surpassed "Youth With You 2" and completely suppressed "Creation Camp 2020".
Facing this premiere data, the big office was filled with jubilation, and everyone was obviously very satisfied with this result.
"Huh——"
Chen Zhixi let out a long breath: "I have been nervous for so many days, and finally
my hard work has not been in vain." In contrast, Meng Bai seemed much calmer: "Don't rush to open the champagne, the good premiere data only shows that our publicity and promotion have been done well. Whether the program can be a hit depends on the future trend."
Chen Zhixi held his breath in his mouth, and after a long time, he looked at him and said dimly: "Mr. Meng, can't you be a little polite and comfort me, let me have fun for a while." "
Tsk, Sister Xi, I'm not saying, you are a mature woman who is almost forty, don't act like a little girl."
Chen Zhixi looked at him and said word by word: "What do you think of 'forty-year-old women'?"
"No, absolutely not, forty is the time when you are full of mature charm. How can those dry young girls compare with you."
"Haha, men..."
...
Facts have proved that Meng Bai's concerns are a bit redundant.
Since the first episode was aired, Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves has shown a dominant popularity in the field of online variety shows.
On the first day of the show, the total number of views exceeded 30 million, and the real-time popularity value of online variety shows ranked first.
After the second episode of the first episode was aired at the weekend, the total number of views reached 240 million. The number of Weibo topic views was 4.5 billion, and the number of discussions was more than 2.3 million.
More intuitive than the numbers is the amount of discussion on major platforms and in the circle of friends of ordinary viewers. In the past week, topics about Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves can be seen almost everywhere.
As the saying goes, three women make a play. Now that thirty women with different personalities have come together, you can imagine how high the audience's expectations are.
Netizens who have been locked up at home for two months have fully demonstrated their mental state. Looking at the first two episodes of the show, each "sister"'s expression and demeanor changes are analyzed frame by frame.
Although the hot search on Weibo has been temporarily removed, the audience could not help but manually create a hot search by themselves, and arranged many famous scenes in the first episode.
Like Ning Jing's domineering "Do I have to introduce myself? Then I have worked for nothing for decades", Yi Nengjing's "Don't let me cooperate with you, I hope the program team can cooperate with me", Zhang Yuqi's "I have never had a career slump and have always been very popular. Do you have any doubts?" The little transparent Hai Lu silenced all the sisters in the audience with "We are all old", and Huang Xiaoming's "professional fake smile" full of desire to survive in the program...
Everyone has watched a lot of talent shows, and there are also many girl group talent shows, but it is the first time that the audience has seen a girl group talent show with such a strong character.
If the audience of "Youth With You 2" and "Creation Camp" are mother fans and training fans, then the audience of "Sisters Who Make Waves" are basically all "sisters and brothers fans".
After watching the first episode, many viewers even changed the name of the program - it should be called "Sisters Who Make Waves".
The novel program style coupled with the contrasting stage immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Many viewers who previously thought that these actors had no singing and dancing skills suddenly discovered that there were actually many contestants with outstanding singing and dancing skills, and many of them were better than those idol trainees.
So after the first episode, in addition to the big names who brought their own hot topics, there were also a group of previously unpopular contestants such as Jin Chen, Lan Yingying, Zhang Hanyun, Huang Ling, etc., who not only ranked among the top in the number of votes, but also increased their own popularity.
Just like Jin Chen, as the second "sister" to go on stage and the first to show dance, she won the love of a large number of audiences. In just one week, the number of Weibo fans increased by more than 100,000.
These are not fans bought by her team, but all of them are real and active fans.
Many viewers left messages below, saying that instead of watching the weak "radio gymnastics" of those little girls, it is better to watch the sisters' "old arms and legs" still full of energy on the stage.
As a result, most of the audience who followed the first episode all began to look forward to the first performance stage of the next episode.
Although half a year has not passed, everyone believes that "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" will definitely be one of the candidates for the most popular variety show this year.
