On Saturday, the second episode of "Approaching Science" aired, still focusing on the bizarre spontaneous combustion incident of an octogenarian.
It must be said that these kinds of gossip-like stories are quite appealing.
Viewers who watched the first episode yesterday are now mostly glued to their TVs, eager to find out the result.
Liu Xirui's control over the rhythm is clearly excellent.
She kept the mystery going until the last two minutes, when the expert finally revealed the truth about the 'spontaneous combustion':
"...The cameraman finally noticed a girl at the scene whose expression seemed off after learning that the old man had 'spontaneously combusted'."
After careful observation, it was learned that this was the old man's granddaughter, and she was always present whenever the old man spontaneously combusted...
It was eventually discovered through covert filming by the production team.
The truth behind the mysterious spontaneous combustion of an octogenarian was that his granddaughter set his clothes on fire when he wasn't looking!
The girl did this because the old man was usually biased, and she said she found the surprised expressions on everyone's faces amusing.
On the television screen, Liu Xirui paused at this point before continuing:
"The truth has come to light here, but through this story, we should reflect on how to pay attention to and protect the mental health of minors."
Alright, viewers, this is 'Approaching Science'. See you next time, where the host will take you to unlock the mystery of the 'Haunted House in the Mountain Village'...
The scene shifts, and commercials are already playing on the TV.
The viewers watching on television were truly dumbfounded.
That's it?
I watched two episodes in a row, and the result was that simple?
What the hell is this about an octogenarian mysteriously spontaneously combusting? It's just that his granddaughter set his clothes on fire from behind.
I'm seriously speechless.
All sorts of bizarre plot twists, all sorts of expert analyses, and I was scared half to death by your horror movie dubbing, and you're telling me it's just a child's prank?
For a moment, the audience felt that their intelligence had been greatly insulted.
...
"Damn it, after watching for so long, this is the result? That old man wasn't amazing at all, damn it!"
In one of the rooms, the young man, having regained his senses, immediately began to curse.
Xiao Teng had simply turned on the TV yesterday as usual, not wanting the room to be too quiet, but unexpectedly, it happened to be showing a program called "Approaching Science".
He was captivated by the story of the old man who could spontaneously combust anytime, anywhere, and he has been eagerly anticipating it ever since, so he naturally tuned in on time today.
However, he never expected that the story would end so uneventfully.
Xiao Teng felt completely deceived by the production team, which caused him to waste two hours of his time.
"No, I can't be the only one who gets fooled! Others have to get a taste of the TV show's harsh realities too!"
Upon thinking of this, Xiao Teng immediately posted a message on his WeChat Moments:
Want to know the truth behind the mysterious spontaneous combustion of an 80-year-old man? Watch "Approaching Science" and you'll find out!
As soon as he posted this update on WeChat Moments, people started discussing it in the comments:
"Xiao Teng, what kind of crap did you post? What's this 'Approaching Science' thing, and it even mentions an elderly person spontaneously combusting?"
"Watch the TV program 'Approaching Science,' and you'll find out. It's very interesting."
"Really? I'm bored right now, so I'll go watch the replay on their website..."
...
Xiao Teng isn't the only one who lied to his friends about going out in the rain because he got caught in it.
In fact, many people have been deceived by their bad friends, and then, in their anger, they have become bad friends themselves.
Meanwhile, some viewers started discussing the questionable practices of "Approaching Science" online.
Some onlookers, out of curiosity, volunteered to be guinea pigs after seeing this.
Driven by various factors, the viewership of the second episode of "Approaching Science" continued to rise.
...
Sunday morning was still the morning meeting time.
Director Liu Xiannong, who had already obtained the data, did not report it first this time.
Instead, he glanced at everyone present before speaking:
"Starting today, aside from the morning meeting, the first person I want to praise is Xiaoliu."
Everyone knows that Xiaoliu hasn't been with our TV station for very long, but she has already hosted two programs.
Especially her new program 'Approaching Science', which is very good...
Okay, let me talk about the ratings. The treasure hunt program is still number one with a rating of 1.13, which rose slightly over the weekend.
The second place, or rather, the tie for second place, is 'Man and Nature' and 'Approaching Science', with a viewership rating of 1.02..."
When everyone heard this, they understood why Liu Xiannong had praised Liu Xirui in the first place.
It turns out that the show she hosted, "Approaching Science," actually jumped to second place in ratings after the second episode aired.
This surge in viewership is truly astonishing for a new program.
It was something that everyone could foresee.
Given more time to develop, this program is sure to become the station's new number one in ratings.
For a host, this is the greatest affirmation.
Moreover, high viewership ratings are not just a hollow title; the hosts can also receive substantial bonuses.
After all, TV programs are sponsored by advertisers.
With the viewership ratings of "Approaching Science," securing a decent title sponsor shouldn't be a problem.
