"No need." Zhou Yiyang's voice was quite calm: "I'm watching it. The show is good, but it's completely different from our genre."
"Really?" Chen Shao didn't know much about the entertainment industry. Hearing Zhou Yiyang's firm and confident voice, he began to doubt whether he was too worried.
"Well, we've actually already edited the first episode. I'll send it to you for a look. As an investor, you can still take a look in advance."
Zhou Yiyang was not worried that Chen Shao would leak the video. After all, he would be the one who would suffer the most if he did so.
"Okay," Chen Shao agreed, "Don't worry, I'll watch it alone."
Chen Shao hung up the phone and went to watch the video. Zhou Yiyang then turned to look at the others: "How is it? Are you stressed?"
"A little bit." Lin Xuan'er bit her lip. "Brother Yang, what do you think we'll do if our ratings don't match theirs?"
"Remember 'The Legend of Yunlong'?" Zhou Yiyang didn't answer directly: "As long as the quality is good and the marketing keeps up, there's no need to worry about the ratings."
"Brother Yang, then why don't you withdraw the show? If you wait until "Daily Life in the Countryside" is finished before airing it, there will be less competition." Wang Xingrui expressed her confusion.
Facing Wang Xingrui's puzzled eyes, Zhou Yiyang quickly gave his answer: "You know, we have three sponsors this time. In addition to Chen Shao, there are two other companies. And they have already prepared promotional materials for next week's broadcast. If I withdraw now, according to the contract, I will have to pay compensation.
Furthermore, Jiangxi Satellite TV has already sold all the advertising for the program's broadcast time slot. If we withdraw the program now, I'm afraid that Jiangxi Satellite TV will directly blacklist us in the future."
Su Yin's train of thought was different from that of an ordinary person. She suddenly laughed, "So, even if our ratings flop, we've already made back the money?"
"Ahem," Zhou Yiyang said, "It's about right. But if you factor in the marketing investment, it shouldn't be too bad. After all, it will affect our subsequent works."
"So," Tang Yue immediately understood, "because of the success of 'Variety Show' and 'Ode to Joy,' 'Longing for Life' is still quite popular."
"Yes," Zhou Yiyang admitted. "When I say I'm not optimistic about it, I'm comparing it to 'Daily Life in the Countryside.' But compared to the overall environment, it's still pretty good."
At this time, the advertisement ends and "Daily Life in the Countryside" enters the second half.
After the game was finished, the six busy people were hungry and naturally needed to eat.
Just when Zhou Yiyang thought the camera would switch to the kitchen, it actually moved directly to the living room.
The table was already filled with various prepared delicacies.
It was only then that the program team introduced the seventh guest to the audience, an amateur chef.
His task is to cook various farm dishes for the guests in each episode. Unfortunately, the production team didn't even give him a single shot of cooking.
"Oh my god," Lin Xuan'er said, looking a little unhappy. "Why isn't there a single shot? Isn't this bullying amateurs? Isn't cooking harder than playing games?"
Zhou Yiyang's eyes lit up, and he gave Lin Xuan'er a thumbs-up: "You picked a good angle. If someone else is leading the charge, we can add fuel to the fire."
Yue Shao and the other three were used to Zhou Yiyang's marketing methods, but Qiao Zishan was a little surprised.
But as an actress over 30, she wasn't that naive. Zhou Yiyang's behavior was perfectly normal, and it wasn't groundless.
Guan Fei nodded. "Many netizens are complaining about this, and some have even dug up the chef's background. He's the head chef of a five-star hotel and has been featured in many professional magazines! He's a big shot! But the production team cut out his cooking scenes!"
The next segment of the program seemed to tell everyone that there was a traitor in their editing team.
As a chef, I didn't even have a chance to sit down and eat.
The six big stars enjoyed the food with peace of mind, and also expressed their feelings and talked about some inspirational stories.
In particular, Manowei expressed with great emotion that after she came here, her soul seemed to be baptized, and at the same time she felt the difficulties faced by the working people.
At the same time, the chef stood not far away, watching them silently, which was very ironic.
"Not bad, not bad," Zhou Yiyang raised his lips, "They handed me the knife themselves!"
In the end, the chef didn't even get a chance to eat at the table.
Soon, public opinion began to ferment.
An article on a public account titled "Daily Life in the Countryside - It Only Shows Me a Group of Sophisticated Egoists" became a hit.
Tang Yue also read a passage from the article with great emotion:
The original intention of this program is to let everyone experience rural life and calm their minds.
But when it is edited, we can only see that the rich people can come to the countryside and play games while enjoying life, because they know that there are people behind them who are silently cooking for them.
Of course, which of these big stars doesn’t have a nanny at home? Such people will not be allowed to accompany the guests to the table.
Not only can I not sit at the table, but I also have to stand aside and listen to this group of people admiring themselves. It's so difficult.
If the program team intended to make a satirical program, then we have to say that it was quite successful.
"Who wrote this article?" Zhou Yiyang was stunned. At first glance, many of the words in this article seemed to be overstating the matter. But then you would find that its entry points were quick, accurate and sharp, and every point became a hot topic on the Internet.
The person behind this is definitely not simple.
Zhou Yiyang was not pleased. This kind of person could write an article for his program and also set the pace.
