Yunhaitai, the office of the "This is Hot Dance" program team.
As usual, everyone arrived early.
However, the office full of people was silent, and the atmosphere was as frozen as if the air was filled with concrete.
Yu Yongzhi wore headphones and lowered his head silently.
A girl next to him couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so she touched him quietly and asked softly:
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Yu Yongzhi glanced at her and said impatiently, "Listen to the music."
"What song?"
The girl asked again.
Yu Yongzhi took off one of the headphones and handed it to her: "Listen to it yourself, don't talk, it will disturb my listening."
The girl snorted, took the earphones and put them in her ears. Then, her eyes lit up, and she turned her head to look at Yu Yongzhi as if she had met a kindred spirit: "Are you listening to this song too? I like it too!"
Her voice was a little loud, and Zhou Li, who was not far away, immediately glared at her. The girl quickly covered her mouth and dared not say another word.
After listening for a while, she couldn't help but ask Yu Yongzhi next to her, "Old Yu, who do you think this Wan Mu is? His voice is so nice."
Yu Yongzhi was very impatient and rolled his eyes: "How would I know?"
"Diva...it's so sad and beautiful. I was so sad that I cried yesterday."
The girl didn't care and continued to revel in herself.
Yu Yongzhi finally looked at her in surprise and asked, "Did you also secretly watch the show next door last night?"
"Shh, keep your voice down." The girl quickly stretched out her chubby white index finger and put it in front of her lips.
"Didn't you see how bad Director Yin looked this morning? If he hears us, we're dead!"
Yu Yongzhi then stopped talking.
Last night, Yunhai TV expected that the third episode of "This is Hot Dance" would set a historical record of breaking 6 in viewership ratings, so it booked an IMAX theater and invited many viewers to watch the show in the theater.
A celebration ceremony will be held after the show is over.
But unexpectedly, the real-time audience of the program has been declining. Not only was it overtaken by "Let's Fall in Love", but the gap has also been widening.
In the end, Deputy Director Zheng Tiangao left early before the show even finished.
Even many viewers secretly watched "Let's Fall in Love" on their mobile phones, acting as traitors on the spot.
The atmosphere at that time was extremely awkward.
However, although the real-time audience numbers last night were poor, we still have to wait until this morning to see the final ratings data.
What if there is a miracle?
Early this morning, Yin Jian sent people to guard the data department.
It is now 8:35, the ratings should have come out, and everyone is sitting in the production team's office waiting for the results.
A few minutes later, the staff member who was sent to ask for data came running in breathlessly. Yin Jian stood up and asked anxiously:
"How about it?"
The staff member took a breath, his face flushed, and said, "It's broken, it's broken six!"
"Breaking six?"
Yin Jian looked dazed, muttering to himself:
"Is there really a miracle?"
Zhou Li jumped up, grabbed Yin Jian's arm and said excitedly:
"Director Yin, we broke six! We really broke six! So many people wanted to laugh at us yesterday, but what happened? We still broke six! If you work hard, miracles will happen!"
Everyone in the office cheered at once. Yu Yongzhi and the girl, who were immersed in the singing, were startled and looked up in surprise, only to see that the surroundings were already a sea of joy.
The two took off their headphones and stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
Director Yin and Director Zhou were seen hugging each other tightly, both of them looked excited and their eyes were filled with tears.
Yu Yongzhi asked, "What happened?"
The girl shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either.
At this time, the staff member who reported the ratings also looked at the celebrating crowd in the office with a confused look on his face. After a long while, he shouted loudly:
"I'm talking about 'Let's Fall in Love' breaking six, not us."
The office suddenly became quiet. All the hugging, high-fives, and tears stopped abruptly. Everyone seemed to have pressed the pause button. Their bodies froze and their heads slowly turned towards the staff member.
"Can you say that again?"
Yin Jian still held Zhou Li tightly without letting go, and he spoke to the staff word by word.
The man's face turned pale, but he finally said:
"Last night's ratings were 5.67 for us, and 'Let's Fall in Love' on Apple TV was... 6.09."
......
......
"Explosive!! From 5.7 to 6! 'Let's Fall in Love' is a huge comeback!"
"The first variety show in China to surpass 60% viewership ratings has been born!"
"The Platinum Talent is terrifying!"
"Big upset! 'This is Hot Dance' flopped, 'Let's Fall in Love' surged to prominence!"
Soon, the front pages of major entertainment outlets were all filled with news that the ratings for "Let's Fall in Love" had exceeded 6.
Before the third episode was aired, more people believed that "This is Hot Dance" was the hottest favorite to break the 6-point mark.
But unexpectedly, "Hot Dance" lacked stamina and not only failed to break 6, it even went backwards, dropping from 5.89 in the second episode to less than 5.7. Not to mention achieving a historic leap, it directly broke its legs.
"Let's Fall in Love" not only features a battle of wits and courage between the fans of the three queens and director Fang Xiaole (one-sidedly abused), but also the release of new songs by Lin Yao, Yang Jiaxin, Cheng Tianlin and the mysterious singer Wan Mu.
Moreover, the four high-quality new songs perfectly match the content of the program, not only giving the queen's fans the highest level of "enjoyment", but also allowing passers-by to enjoy the excitement in addition to watching the program.
Even in the final Easter egg of the show, there was a highlight where three couples on the show "pay tribute" to their neighbors by dancing.
The third episode of "Let's Fall in Love" is full of highlights and topics, and every highlight is refreshing, so that the audience does not feel bored of rehashing old things.
In comparison, "This is Hot Dance" is still stuck in the old routine of forcibly creating controversy, and the program content has no innovation.
Because of the many big-name guests, the audience felt a certain sense of freshness in the first two episodes.
After two episodes, when the audience found that "Hot Dance" was still the same old routine, aesthetic fatigue inevitably set in.
It just so happens that there is a show next door called "Let's Fall in Love" which is both topical and fun, so the audience is naturally willing to watch this new type of show that they have never seen before.
"Let's Fall in Love" also seized this opportunity, and each episode has new highlights and new breakthroughs.
By the third episode, with the linkage of four new songs with the program content, as well as the "friendly interaction" between fans of Lin Yao and others and Fang Xiaole, "Let's Fall in Love" has accumulated strength and has directly jumped from 5.7% to 6%.
There are so many topics in this episode that on Weibo, the top six hot searches are all occupied by "Let's Fall in Love".
"'Let's Fall in Love' breaks six!"
"Defeat magic with magic, and defeat dance with dance."
"Master Fang, please retract your magical powers."
"Kiss and onions."
"Cheng Tianlin, my heart is broken."
"Who is Wanmu?"
