Chapter 189: Complete! The ratings exploded!
"If you're looking for a date, go to Jiayuan.com!"
"Jiayuan.com, a dating website that requires you to upload your ID card and education certificate."
"This program is exclusively sponsored by Jiayuan.com!"
Whenever this advertising slogan was read out, Su Tao and Lin Yao would involuntarily blush with excitement, and even feel a little distant.
This time is different from Yangwang. Yangwang is completely dominated by Lin Xiao, and the girls only play supporting roles.
Although the strategic design of Jiayuan.com this time was also completed by Lin Xiao, who also sent a shrewd and sharp CEO, the entire development was carried out by these ten girls.
Moreover, the management holds about 30% of the shares of this website.
Although Wang Xing is the CEO, his shares are not high, not as high as Su Tao's.
The girl with the highest shareholding is Su Tao, followed by Lin Xiao's sister Lin Yao.
They always thought that this was a small career and never thought it would be on TV.
Historically, after Jiayuan.com went public, the founder Gong Haiyan had very few shares and was directly kicked out of the management. The capitalists were completely trying to catch fish in a dry pond and had no idea of sustainable development, which eventually led to a sharp drop in the market value of the entire website. Especially when the PC era turned to mobile Internet, it did not keep up.
In this era, Lin Xiao would never do that.
They will regard it as a very long-term career, so that girls can fight for it all their lives. And the later the era, the more difficult it is for men and women to get married. This market is always huge.
This website is not only intended to make money, but also hopes to contribute a little to the future of marriage and love between men and women in society.
In this world, hopefully its future market value will exceed one billion dollars, or even more.
"Taozi, Yaoyao, you have to be prepared from now on. Your website will usher in an unprecedented explosion!" Xia Xi raised the red wine towards Su Tao and Lin Yao.
Su Tao and Lin Yao just felt dizzy and responded with Coke.
Although the website has not exploded yet, Su Tao has already sensed it.
She is really filled with emotion now.
She felt fortunate countless times in her heart that she had met Lin Xiao two years ago.
She was even more grateful that she was reckless and stupid enough at the time. She brought her sisters to rush over for no apparent reason at the invitation of a high school student.
What would have happened to her if she hadn't met Lin Xiao? Su Tao couldn't imagine it every time.
Ruined? Completely depraved? Completely rotten?
I didn’t feel it when I was in the abyss before, but now that I’m on shore, I feel a deep fear.
Recalling the past is like a nightmare, like hell.
She couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao, and couldn't help but recall that time when he looked so young, just like a teenager.
And now it can provide shelter from wind and rain for everyone.
He is still so gentle. This group of people are completely useless to him and are simply a burden.
However, he managed to find a truly bright future for his sisters.
So in the hearts of girls like Su Tao, there is actually no woman in the world who is worthy of Lin Xiao.
As the show progressed, several girls present looked at Li Shuang frequently.
Especially Su Tao and Lin Yao, in their eyes, Li Shuang is just a very beautiful and sexy host, and she has not shown much talent.
Even in Su Tao's eyes, Li Shuang seemed a little flirty.
There is no doubt that Su Tao envied Li Shuang and even looked up to her.
Because she is too beautiful, too feminine, has excellent taste, and likes to use famous brands. But if you ask her how profound Li Shuang is, she doesn't think so.
When she learned that Li Shuang was a graduate student at Shanghai International Studies University, her first instinctive reaction was that this school was not very good.
Now, when I see Li Shuang on TV, she feels so strange.
How does she know so much?
How does she read so many books?
I could actually understand what she said, and it touched my heart.
"Sister, you are really more radiant and beautiful than those big stars!" Su Tao couldn't help but say.
Li Shuang looked at herself on TV and felt a little surprised.
Am I that good?
Her eyes were slightly tearful as she said slowly, "Everyone has their own shining points, everyone has their own heaven and hell. If you find the right one, you will go to heaven, and if you find the wrong one, you will go to hell!"
She really endured it very hard.
At this time, she couldn't look at Lin Xiao, worried that if she looked at him again, her gaze would become strange.
Lin Xiao did not give her money directly, but created a stage for her.
A stage that totally belongs to her.
On this stage, she can really show all her talents and beauty.
Show yourself in a way that you can't believe.
At this time, Bubble would sometimes look at TV, and sometimes look at the real Li Shuang.
It also feels a little bit unreal.
She knew that Li Shuang had always been excellent, but she didn't know she was so outstanding.
"What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?" Li Shuang said gently to Paopao.
In fact, Bubble herself didn’t realize that she had made great progress.
Because she is very emotionally sensitive and focused, she is really talented in writing scripts.
Lin Xiao might be a scumbag, but one thing is that he really tries hard to make everyone around him better and more outstanding.
………………
After all, professional audiences are a minority, and it is the majority of ordinary audiences who really determine the ratings.
Because this program has been hyped up a lot on the Internet, and is also known as Ergou Jiaozhu, many people will not keep track of the time to watch it, but as long as they turn on the TV, they will involuntarily press the remote control to switch to Jiangnan TV.
I only planned to watch it for a few minutes, but I didn't expect... I finished it before I knew it.
It’s really beautiful.
Although I can't really say what's so good about it, I'm inexplicably addicted to it and feel the suspense is endless.
And some of them are fans of Master Ergou.
They do this purely to support the leader and to gain ratings. Not only do they turn on the TV at regular intervals, they also occupy the screen even when they are not watching.
Zhang Qizhao, the former principal of Linshan No. 1 Middle School, is one of them. This year, he has completed the most critical step and became the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau.
He himself knew that his career had come to an end, so he should just continue to shine in this position until retirement. Moreover, even this position was an absolute over-promotion.
No matter whether it was the principal of Linshan No. 1 Middle School or Kecheng No. 1 Middle School, who could become the director of the Municipal Education Bureau? A long time ago, because of a text message, he inexplicably followed Ergou Jiaozhu.
What is even more puzzling is that this leader of Ergou is actually his student Lin Xiao.
And now his son has become the assistant of Leader Ergou and has become one of his true members.
Therefore, Deputy Director Zhang is a die-hard supporter of Master Ergou.
He turned on the TV to Jiangnan TV early, but he was not interested in this kind of program. At his age, why would he still watch blind date shows?
Her daughter Zhang Yu graduated from university and just returned to Kecheng No. 1 Middle School to teach. It is a typical example of a son going out to pursue a career while a daughter stays by his side as a little girl.
"Change the channel, change the channel, watch Happy Camp!" Although Zhang Yu is already a teacher, he still acts like a child and tries to grab the remote control directly.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t…” Zhang Qizhao said, “This is the show of Master Ergou.”
Zhang Yu: "Who is he?"
Zhang Qizhao: "Your brother's boss, we are all lightning-type, understand?"
Zhang Qizhao, who usually obeys his daughter in everything, holds the remote control tightly and refuses to give up his power.
"Blind date shows? They're the most boring. I don't even like watching Rose Date anymore. It's too disgusting. And now there's another show called If You Are the One." Zhang Yu pouted in dissatisfaction.
Then she kept on chattering, finding fault here and there.
But after more than ten minutes, she stopped talking.
"Wow, this is pretty..."
"Huh? This host looks familiar?"
Zhang Qizhao: "She is from our Kecheng, Li Shuang who used to work at Kecheng TV station."
Daughter Zhang Yu: "Kecheng TV Station actually went directly to Jiangnan TV. Is the background so strong?"
Next up…
Even Zhang Qizhao was a little addicted to it, it was really good to watch.
And his perspective is different from others.
"This female guest named Furong has a very low self-esteem."
"This second male guest was a bit deliberate. When we look at a person, we should not look at what he has shown, but what he has not shown."
"For example, his villa only has a close-up view of the garden and the facade, so it is most likely a townhouse, and not a side unit."
"He must have a humble background, and he doesn't have much self-confidence. He just got rich not long ago, so his foundation is relatively weak."
The third male guest is a PhD from Aurora University School of Medicine.
Zhang Qizhao still had a sharp gaze.
"This man is a bit hypocritical. He vaguely talked about the wedding house he was going to prepare, but he didn't take pictures of the house he was living in. It must be quite run-down and old!"
"His self-narration of his love life was too rosy. He tried too hard to create a perfect persona for himself. It was not only hypocritical, but also shallow."
"Some flaws can make a person more three-dimensional and more attractive."
"This person is not a good match!"
"Xiaoyu, when you find a partner in the future, it's better to find the second one who can't wait to show off himself, rather than the third one who looks perfect. You will have a hard time with him."
Then, Zhang Qizhao said to his wife: "This show is really good. Not only can you watch the fun, but you can also see human nature. To some extent, it is very real, and the performance is very clever."
"You really are worthy of being called the Second Dog Sect Leader. You are so amazing."
At this time, his daughter Zhang Yu couldn't help but said, "Director Zhang, can you be quiet and watch TV properly?"
"Wow, this Li Shuang is so beautiful!"
Zhang Qizhao couldn't help but say: "Appearance is the most superficial. Her charm lies in her grasp of rhythm and her wisdom in knowing when to stop."
"I've met him a few times before, but I didn't expect him to be so outstanding."
Zhang Qizhao sighed in his heart again, there really are geniuses in this world, and there is really a huge gap between them and ordinary people.
………………
A one and a half hour show, plus 12 minutes of commercials.
The show ended at about eleven o'clock.
Yu Dong of Bona Film Group stood up and stretched his body.
He said to the people around him, "How is it?"
"Very impressive, very clever!"
“The rhythm is first-rate, the presentation is first-rate, and the host is first-rate.”
Yu Dong laughed and said: "It's not just these, the key is the timing, and the balance between dramatic tension and authenticity, it's simply perfect."
"There are also some minor revelations in it, which are a shame to use them for TV shows."
"He's already at this stage in his TV show business."
“I’m looking forward to his movie even more!”
“Great, great!”
"It really is a reputation that is well deserved!"
………………
After the broadcast!
Inside the office building, there were cheers from the people of Lightning Entertainment.
"The leader is awesome!"
"Mr. Li is awesome!"
"Boss Gao, this show is going to be a hit!"
"Our Lightning Entertainment is going to be popular!"
Gao Changhe looked at the dozens of people below and said loudly: "Although our company is not big, everyone has seen it."
“Our album just broke the record.”
"The TV show we produced is miles ahead of other TV shows and is about to become a big hit."
"Next, it's the turn of our movie 'Crazy Stone'!"
“Why is our company so awesome? Because we have an excellent leader and an excellent guide!”
"That person is our leader!"
"But I have to say this: the leader's cause will grow bigger and bigger, and we ourselves must learn to grow up."
"The leader will take us for a while, but he can't support us all the time!"
"Our Lightning Entertainment occupies a very important position in the leader's business territory."
"It's not just about money. Money is even the least important part. The key lies in cultural construction, spiritual construction, and even cultural exports in the future!"
"Dear colleagues, we must work hard from now on. We must not let down the leader's cultivation and expectations of us!"
Gao Changhe never misses any opportunity to promote personal worship and build corporate culture within the company.
"Okay, I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's rest today."
"Everyone, go home."
"The taxi fare will be reimbursed and counted as two hours of overtime pay!"
The crowd immediately burst into warm applause.
Gao Changhe came to the rooftop and lit a cigarette.
I heard screams coming from below, probably from Jiayuan.com.
Today is not only a festival for Lightning Entertainment, but also a festival for Jiayuan.com.
Not long after Gao Changhe came up, Huang Bo followed.
Then, Wang Xing followed up.
Huang Bo lit a cigarette and hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Gao Changhe said, "Just say it if you want to."
Huang Bo said: "Mr. Gao, if our movie is successful, then...then you can enter the living room of the leader's house."
When these words were spoken, Gao Changhe was slightly stunned and felt a little disappointed.
Because this time, only a very few people went to Lin Xiao’s living room to watch the show, and most people still watched it in the company.
So, everyone seems to have a concept in their minds.
Only those who enter Mr. Lin’s living room are the most loyal of the loyal.
"It has nothing to do with status, nor with grades." Gao Changhe said: "The only thing that matters is emotion!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You kid, it's good to have this thought!"
"It is a great honor to enter the leader's living room."
“Let’s work hard together and cheer together!”
Suddenly, several people present swore secretly in their hearts.
I must work hard, create more value, become the most direct descendant of the leader's direct descendants, and enter the leader's living room!
………………
As soon as the show ended, Lin Xiao received countless text messages.
Almost all of them were congratulations and praises.
"Congratulations, Master, for creating another miracle!"
"The leader is awesome, the show is great."
And so on and so forth.
Among them, Director Ouyang sent a text message: "I am very sorry for missing such a good opportunity. I hope we can work together in the future."
Yu Dong from Bona Film Group sent a message: "The leader is so talented, I admire him so much."
Li Hanqiong, vice president of Yager, sent a text message: "My father also watched the second half of the show and said it was very good."
In comparison, there were more text messages from Li Shuang.
Because for most people, they don’t actually know who the planner of this program is, so they just focus on the host.
Li Shuang has a circle of middle school classmates, a circle of college classmates, and a circle of work classmates.
"Comrade Li Shuang, you will always be the pride of our Kecheng TV Station. Come home and visit us when you have time." This is the director of Kecheng TV Station.
"Classmate Li Shuang, you have changed so much, as if you have achieved nirvana!" This was my former college dormitory classmate, a girl from a relatively wealthy family.
Wang Shiqing, Director of the Production Center of Shanghai Satellite TV: "The program is very good. Congratulations, congratulations."
The most complicated ones here probably belong to the two men.
One is the senior from the Computer Department of Aurora University. He used to be poor, but he had a crush on Li Shuang for many years but did not dare to confess his love. After years of hard work, he had a house, a car and some property, and finally he dared to confess his love to Li Shuang.
When Li Shuang was in dire straits twice, he stood up for her.
Once, when Li Shuang came to Shanghai to sell second-hand brand-name bags, he proposed to her on his knees outside the train station.
The second time was when Li Shuang's father was sick, his credit card was overdrawn, he owed a lot of debt, and he couldn't pay the hospital bills, so he once again stepped forward.
Every time, he wanted to be Li Shuang's savior.
And now, he lives in the 260-square-meter apartment he just bought, watching Li Shuang on TV.
Are you proud? Are you happy? I can't really tell.
There is actually more pain and loss.
When Li Shuang was down and out, he stepped forward but he was secretly happy in his heart, because only in this way could he become a savior.
And now that Li Shuang is on the verge of rebirth like a phoenix, his achievements have become insignificant.
Therefore, Li Shuang's success was a huge blow to him! He picked up his phone and typed a text message to Li Shuang, but hesitated before sending it.
Then, he deleted the name Li Shuang from his address book.
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and then find another girl's number in the address book.
This woman had actively shown her affection to him many times, and she was also very beautiful.
"Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to have dinner together?" the man sent a text message.
Soon the woman replied: "Okay, what kind of cuisine do you like? I'll go make a reservation at the restaurant."
Another complicated person is Li Shuang’s first love.
He watched TV with his wife because she asked him to watch it.
When they met Li Shuang last year, she was still very embarrassed.
Therefore, this man's wife felt superior and even invited Li Shuang to attend their housewarming party.
And this man was also looking forward to it.
Can he make up for the past regrets and support Li Shuang in another way? Li Shuang is beautiful and sexy, and she is also a host of Shanghai Satellite TV. She has a glamorous and respectable job, but she doesn't have much money.
It was all absolutely perfect.
And now... everything has come to nothing.
However, despite his loss, he still had a hint of joy.
After all, she is the woman I once loved deeply, and she is different after all.
but……
Among so many men, in fact, all of them are eager to see Li Shuang in misery, so that they can have a chance to get her.
Lin Xiao was the only exception! He just wanted to see Li Shuang shine brightly.
………………
Wang Xing and the people from Jiayuan.com were celebrating not long ago, but now they are completely busy and exhausted.
Although we have been fully prepared and knew that there would be a huge explosion in traffic.
But... I didn't expect it to explode so violently.
The server capacity has been expanded many times, and the bandwidth has also been greatly upgraded.
but……
After the "If You Are the One" program ended, the overwhelming traffic caused the website to temporarily crash.
“Gaga, gaga, gaga…”
"I know this traffic is temporary and adding servers now would be a waste of money, but never mind!"
"Our boss's aim is to do the best, regardless of cost!"
We are constantly adding servers and bandwidth.
After a full hour of struggling, everything finally calmed down.
A group of people worked overtime until two o'clock in the morning before they finally took a break.
After seeing the background data, Su Tao, Wang Xing and others were stunned.
I was busy just now, solving various problems and had no time to look at the background data.
I knew there would be a surge.
But...it turned out to be such a sudden increase!
Yesterday, the website's daily IP visits exceeded 2.3 million.
It has increased by more than ten times! It’s crazy! No wonder we prepared so many servers, but they still crashed.
This IP visit volume is almost comparable to Facebook.
Because many people really just came to watch the fun. The part in the advertisement was too controversial, a dating website that required uploading identity cards and academic certificates.
Everyone needs to check whether they really need to upload their ID card and academic certificate.
As a result...it really is necessary.
But not forced.
It’s just that after you upload these information, your star rating will be higher and your attractiveness will be more powerful.
Not only academic qualifications, but also screenshots of real estate certificates and vehicle driving licenses are encouraged to be uploaded.
It really focuses on truth and seriousness.
The core is not even about making friends, but about blind dates or marriage.
Even the nature of one-night stand was very light, almost non-existent.
Before, the girls went to blind date corners and matchmaking agencies in major cities to recruit people. After ten months of hard work, they attracted a total of more than 100,000 registered users.
Today...
After the show was over, in just two hours.
The number of registered users has exceeded 500,000! Wang Xing sat in front of the computer, in a daze. He called himself a genius, but facing the situation in front of him, he was also confused.
The leader has always emphasized that Jiayuan.com will strive to go public within two years! At that time, Wang Xing thought it was impossible, as this was a narrow track and a market that needed to be explored with great difficulty.
And now there is this explosive growth.
Will it take two years to go public? It’s hard to say.
Su Tao suddenly said, "Is Miyazaki regretting his decision now? At that time, the leader gave him a chance to invest 5 million US dollars in exchange for 13% of the shares. He thought it was a fantasy and didn't even discuss it. But in the end, the leader was just giving him money!"
Wang Xing: "Our website is a perfect match for If You Are the One, and the conversion rate is so high. We have secured the naming rights for one quarter. According to the most conservative estimate, after the show ends, the number of registered members on our website may exceed five million!"
"And this is not Facebook. The members here have a strong desire to meet and make friends, and their purpose is very strong, so the payment conversion rate is relatively high."
"By then, you won't even think about exchanging 5 million US dollars for 13% of the shares!"
Only then did Su Tao realize that her entire management team owned a full 30% of the shares.
Then...then...then shouldn't we publish it?
How much are my shares worth? I was a little scared. When I sold Yang.com, I got hundreds of thousands of dollars. I was trembling all over.
………………
Lin Xiao was still sleeping soundly.
Zhang Yan, director of the Jiangnan TV production center, and the If You Are the One director team did not sleep at all.
Even Director Zhou stayed at the TV station until 1 a.m. yesterday and did not go home, but slept in the office.
Zhang Yan and the director team guzzled coffee.
In fact, there was nothing to do, so a few people played mahjong in the office.
Wait till dawn! Wait until noon the next day, when the ratings come out.
Moreover, it is a blissful wait.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the ratings will definitely be good, but how many exactly?
I don’t know! Director Zhou slept until about five in the morning, then woke up and went into the office.
"Master, do you want to play?"
Director Zhou: "Give me a few."
Then, even though it was Sunday, a group of people played mahjong in the office.
Just wait till the time comes.
The closer it got to noon, the more nervous I became.
Although I didn’t sleep all night, I didn’t feel sleepy at all. Instead, I felt even more excited.
Director Zhou said that the passing score is 1.2% viewership, and the excellent score is 1.5% viewership.
In the last half hour, everyone's mahjong was played randomly and was full of loopholes.
"There's about half an hour left before the ratings come out."
"Guess what the final ratings for this first episode will be?"
"I bet 2,000 yuan, 1.5%!"
"I bet three thousand, 1.6%!"
Director Zhou thought for a while and said, "I bet 3,000, which is also 1.6%!"
Zhang Yan picked up a mahjong tile, which turned out to be a "Fa" tile, and smashed it hard on the table.
"I bet 5,000 that the ratings will break 1.8%!"
Then he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the director, the biggest leader.
He quickly shrank back and said, "Sorry, Master, I'm too excited, too excited."
Director Zhou: "1.8%, you are really optimistic!"
"If the ratings were really this high, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!"
"It's the first episode. Do you know what a 1.8% rating means?"
"Has our Jiangnan TV ever had a show with this ratings?"
The next few people began to analyze the situation. Zhang Yan also felt that he was too optimistic. They all came to the conclusion that as long as the ratings exceeded 1.6%, it would be a huge victory!
More than half an hour later!
The ratings are out!
Director Zhou held the report in his hand, completely motionless.
As if frozen in time! The first episode of If You Are the One had a viewership rating of 2.2%!
Oh my god?
Is this rating crazy?! ……………………
Note: My father-in-law's birthday is today, so I have to go and make arrangements. I have been writing whenever I have time since yesterday. For those who haven't voted for the guaranteed monthly ticket, can you please give me some cakes?
