The dating variety show, Are We In Love?, became an instant ratings sensation upon its first three seasons airing.
Today's society is impetuous and people's hearts are unstable. Audiences don't want to fall in love and pursue celibacy, but that doesn't stop them from being crazy about couples in movies and TV shows.
The production team of "Are We in Love?" accurately grasped the audience's needs, triggering a series of trending searches on Weibo and attracting a lot of attention from netizens.
Backstage at Xigua TV, the production team of Are We In Love? gathered to discuss the names of the men and women invited to the fourth season of Are We In Love?
At the front of the rectangular office conference table, Yao Qian, the chief director and producer of Are We In Love?, looked over the list of invited guests and the information collected by the production team.
After looking at it for a while, he put the list down without saying anything good or bad, raised his head, supported his chin with his hands, and expressed his thoughts.
"As you all know, we've already had three seasons of this show. The audience is very discerning. After watching the first three seasons, they've actually become aesthetically fatigued."
"If this season doesn't break new ground, and everyone has seen the ratings for the third season decline compared to the first and second seasons, if it weren't for the real money spent on trending searches to maintain the buzz, who knows how it would end?"
At the long square table, the other members of the team listened to the producer's words with pensive expressions on their faces.
I'm afraid they are struggling to figure out how to restore the declining ratings.
The director is a girl in her 20s. Although she is young, she has a lot of ideas.
He rolled his eyes and looked at his silent colleagues on both sides. An idea came to his mind and he wanted to say it out loud.
She raised her eyelids and looked at PD Yao who was at the top. PD Yao's eyes had been darting around for a long time. Now that he saw that the program director had something to say, he raised his chin and nodded at her.
When talking about her ideas, the female director's eyes sparkled.
The audience of their show is mostly women, and very few men watch dating shows.
The first thing to grasp is the psychology of women. They will film what female audiences want to see.
What do women want to see? Of course, they want to see handsome men and beautiful women, tall, rich and handsome men, but what about women?
"We are inviting four female guests this time. It would be best if one of them is an ordinary person. An ordinary female guest will make it easier for the audience to imagine themselves falling in love with the male guest."
PD Yao nodded, and the others listened with great interest. The female director's mind was full of ideas.
"Since we want something new, why not just go live and create a real, unedited promotional stunt? Live broadcast every day, edit it every week, and air it on Xigua TV on Sundays."
"This is a first for China, so it's sure to attract a large number of curious viewers to the livestream. As expected, as long as we focus on consuming top-tier, high-quality men, I think we'll have a steady stream of fans. After all, isn't male chauvinism harmful?"
The female director's ideas were unanimously praised by the team members.
It will probably take a lot of effort to find this high-quality male guest.
Only top young people who are better than the male guests in the previous three seasons can truly stabilize the ratings.
For this, PD Yao begged everyone for help, from the business world to the entertainment industry, but he couldn't find enough candidates, so he even sold his own nephew to the program team.
…
Zheng Mingyu is a famous tofu beauty on Pingming Street. She has excellent cooking skills. The white and tender tofu is spread flat on the iron plate and fried until golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
When the time is right, use a brush to apply the sauce prepared in advance, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
Long queues formed in front of the stalls at the bustling night market, and customers were enjoying the fragrant aroma of food.
His eyes were fixed on the hands fiddling with the iron plate, and he swallowed mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously.
A full iron plate can make many servings, and before serving, the customer is asked whether they want chili peppers or chopped green onions.
Zheng Mingyu deftly packed the prepared tofu into small boxes and handed them across the stall to the customers who had been waiting for a long time.
The night market is bustling with people, and it's not hard to find that this grilled tofu shop is doing the best business.
The customer holding the iron plate tofu in both hands did not turn around and leave after taking the tofu, but stood aside and pierced the tofu with a bamboo stick.
Don’t forget to blow on it before putting it into your mouth. After all, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Even if you blow on it and put it in your mouth, it is still very hot. Many customers fan their mouths with air and open their mouths wide, then swallow the scalding hot tofu.
They were all very busy, and while eating, they kept their eyes carefully watching the busy stall owners.
Everyone lined up to give thumbs up and praised the products without asking for anything in return. Over time, it became a major spectacle of the Pingming Street Night Market.
Other stall owners are eager for customers to line up at their stalls to boost their business.
Customers are eager to come to Tofu Xishi's stall to make purchases, and most importantly, they don't forget to praise Tofu Xishi's good craftsmanship.
The reason why Tofu Xishi is called Xishi is not an exaggeration at all.
It is hard for anyone who sees Zheng Mingyu not to be attracted by her.
Those who work at night markets and make a living by selling things on the street are exposed to the wind and sun every day without taking care of themselves, so their skin will turn yellow and dry due to the sun.
Tofu Xishi is different. The vendors next to her don’t understand why they all make a living among the same stoves, facing the smoke all day long. How can Tofu Xishi grow up?
Her skin was whiter than the tofu she hadn't fried, and it was so tender and fresh that it looked even fairer than the stars on TV who spent a lot of money on maintenance.
A pair of eyes are like those placed in clear spring water, clean, clear, and distinct in black and white.
Although she wears a mask all year round, her clothes are not fashionable, and she wears an apron all day long, she still beats all the competing proprietresses in Pingming Street and becomes the leading star of the Pingming Street Night Market.
