The Earth Iceland trip lasted a total of seven days, or 168 hours, for the testing period.
With such a long timeframe and such a massive amount of data, even after editing, the final film was quite long. After much discussion, the feature film was ultimately cut into seven episodes, broadcast over seven days, with each episode covering exactly one day's worth of content.
On the night the first episode of the program was broadcast, the final real-time number of online users was fixed at 30.27 million one second before the end of the main program.
Judging from this number alone, it seems extremely inconspicuous among major online variety shows, but its influence and expansion power have always been growing exponentially.
After a whole night of fermentation, when Jiang Ran searched for "Back to Earth" the next morning, the program's real-time search index on the Star Network had reached 1.8.
What does this number mean?
It means...
The party that had been scheduled in advance could not go on smoothly because Fu Bo refused to go out no matter what was said.
Jiang Ran called him and advised, "Whether you stick your head out, you'll get stabbed. Whether you hide your head or not, you'll get stabbed anyway. A short pain is worse than a long one."
Fu Bo didn't dare show his face, but his voice was loud: "That's easy for you to say! You're not the one who's embarrassed! Anyway, there's no way I'm going out today, so just give up on this idea!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran turned around and looked at the real-time data of the Star Network.
The search index of "Back to Earth" is still at 1.8, but the search index of the keyword "bird shit" has skyrocketed towards 2 and has never returned.
Why.
Fu Bo doesn't want to go out...
It’s not incomprehensible.
However, the long-awaited feature film has finally been aired, so it’s time for everyone to get together.
Since Fu Bo refused to go out, the gathering place was finally changed from the commercial district to the Fu family's old house.
When Jiang Ran and others arrived at the door of Fu's house, Fu Bo didn't even show up.
After ringing the doorbell, Fu Bo's muffled voice finally came through the pager: "The remote door sensor at home is broken. I'll ask the housekeeper to open the door for you. Please wait for two minutes."
Ren Xiayang was very depressed: "Can't you open it yourself?"
"No!" Fu Bo's voice suddenly became louder, "I can't see the light now!"
"You can't see the light?" Bai Zhiyong asked, "Are you a palm tree?"
"What's this Pugui Pukui? I don't understand."
"A plant that doesn't see the light," Bai Zhiyong said. "Come to think of it, the palm tree is much more valuable than you."
Fu Bo: “…”
With a "beep" sound, the pager suddenly hung up.
Bai Zhiyong turned around and said, "This kid's character isn't good enough. He needs more training."
Jiang Ran agreed: "That's right. After all, there will be more and more wonderful collections of his in the next few issues."
Everyone recalled some of the video clips they had watched and nodded in agreement.
Not long after, the housekeeper of the Fu residence came to open the door for them.
He led everyone to the second floor and said that Fu Bo was currently staying in the game room on the second floor.
However, when he was halfway up the stairs, the butler suddenly stopped.
He hesitated for a moment and kindly reminded, "The young master is in a bad mood right now. If you go to see him, please avoid mentioning sensitive topics."
Sensitive topic?
This refers to...
Jiang Ran asked curiously, "Fu Bo's mood changed so much, did something happen today?"
The housekeeper paused for a long moment before nodding with difficulty: "Before you, just this morning, several waves of guests came to our house."
“Could it be…”
"That's right," the butler nodded gravely, "They all came to inquire about the specific smell of bird droppings."
The whole audience was silent for two seconds.
"Pfft!" Ren Xiayang was the first to laugh.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, but, hahahaha..."
“…”
When everyone was having so much fun that they couldn't stand still, Fu Bo suddenly rushed out of the game room.
He put his hands on the railing: "No one is allowed to laugh! I heard it!"
"Okay, I won't laugh... Pfft!"
“…”
After arguing for a long time, they finally stopped.
Everyone was finally able to put aside all the weird things and sit down to talk about the show.
Jiang Ran spread out the statistical data chart he had drawn on the table and used his hands to imitate the rising curve of the data.
She said seriously, "If the broadcast data can continue to maintain this growth trend, by the seventh day, when the final episode is finished, the total number of viewers should be around 500 million."
"Five hundred million?" Ren Xiayang jumped up excitedly.
"Five hundred million?" Fu Bo collapsed on the ground in despair.
Zeng Pei sat next to Jiang Ran and took a look at the statistical table. "Has the k value of this growth function been inferred?"
"It's not difficult to estimate a number, but it's difficult to estimate it accurately," Jiang Ran said. "There's too little known data right now. We have to wait until tomorrow to make more accurate estimates and analysis."
Fu Bo was still lying on the ground, listening to the two of them talking about topics that he couldn't understand at all.
He endured it for a long time, but finally tilted his head and asked, "What's the point of analyzing this data? The final outcome won't be changed by analysis."
"But it can give us the upper hand," Jiang Ran said. "We can't just sit there and wait for Blue Sky Culture to come to us, right? When the investment proposal is put on the table, there will be different negotiation methods for good data and bad data. But no matter what, we have to be prepared in advance."
After listening to the whole thing, Fu Bo felt dizzy and confused.
He was silent for a moment, raised his limp hands from the ground, clenched his fists and said "Come on".
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the door.
Judging from the occasional interlaced sounds, there was more than one person coming.
Fu Bo's "invisible to light" mechanism was immediately activated. He jumped up from the ground and rushed to hide behind the desk.
The door of the study was knocked gently a few times, and the butler's voice was the first to come: "Young Master, the eldest master is back."
Fu Bo stuck half of his head out from the desk and quickly whispered to everyone, "Just say I'm not here." As soon as he finished speaking, he retracted his head.
Jiang Ran and others: "..."
There was no echo in the room. After two seconds of silence, Fu Song pushed open the door.
"Hello," he greeted, then looked around, "Where's my brother?"
Jiang Ran spread his hands: "He said he's not here."
Fu Song and Fu Bo: "..."
Fu Song certainly knew his brother very well. He glanced behind the desk and understood almost immediately.
However, he didn't expose it on the spot. He just said to Jiang Ran: "It's just a small matter. Can you help me convey it?"
Jiang Ran: "What's the matter?"
Fu Song: "I just tripled the credit limit on his account and was going to tell him about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of inhalation from behind the desk.
Everyone looked over there at the same time, but none of them understood what was going on.
Jiang Ran asked on Fu Bo's behalf, "Why is it so sudden?"
Fu Song was silent for a moment before he said, "I want him to be more relaxed about food, clothing, and daily expenses. If there are some inappropriate things...it's better not to touch them. People will think I'm abusing him."
As Fu Song spoke, he patted his clothes and walked towards the door: "That's all. Please help convey my message."
After Fu Bo left the room and the door was closed again, Jiang Ran walked to the desk.
At this time, Fu Bo returned to his previous state, lying on the ground like a dead fish.
"It's over, even my brother knows about this."
Fu Bo's eyes were dull as he muttered to himself, "I'm completely ashamed to face anyone."
Jiang Ran squatted beside him, patted his shoulder and said, "At least your account limit has been tripled, which is also a good thing."
Fu Bo's face was stiff: "I don't know whether to cry or laugh."
Jiang Ran comforted him: "Laugh as much as you can. After all, there are still many embarrassing moments in the next few episodes."
Fu Bo: “…”
Jiang Ran cooked both lunch and dinner that day. The long-lost delicacy was in their mouths. While Ren Xia Yang wolfed it down, Fu Bo still couldn't eat.
After dinner, no one left. They planned to stay at Fu's house and watch the second episode together in the evening.
When Fu Bo heard this plan, his expression became indescribable.
He endured for a long time before asking, "You guys don't want to read it in the study, do you?"
Jiang Ran smiled and said, "We don't mind going to your room to take a look."
Fu Bo: "I mind, thank you."
The official broadcast time of the program is 9 o'clock in the evening, and there is still a long time between after dinner and before the program is broadcast.
While waiting for the show to air, Fu Bo would lie down beside them and swear, "You can watch whatever you want tonight, but I won't set foot in the study!"
Jiang Ran clapped his hands in amusement and said, "I hope you can stick to your promise."
Nine o'clock sharp.
Everyone found a seat in the study in advance, quietly waiting for this moment to arrive.
Before the show started, viewers were already posting comments on the screen. Some were discussing yesterday's broadcast, while others were making predictions about the direction of today's plot.
Everything is going much smoother than when we started yesterday.
Everyone stared intently at the huge light screen projected not far away, not daring to look away.
Soon, the words "Return to Earth" gradually faded from the screen, and the new picture that appeared was the glacier after dawn.
Although everyone in the snow cave was very tired, they managed to survive the night. They just encountered trouble when calling Xu Yang. No matter how they shouted or moved, they couldn't wake him up.
Just when Fu Bo was anxiously preparing to perform artificial respiration, Xu Yang slowly woke up. It turned out that he had just fallen asleep.
[Audience A: Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter]
Audience member B: Haha, I feel like there's something wrong with this Xu Yang. His style doesn't fit in with the others.
Audience member C: What a coincidence! I think so too! Everyone else is so focused on moving forward, but he's the only one who's constantly napping and squinting, like he's just slacking off.
Ren Xiayang laughed as he watched, "This audience isn't very good. What's this about slacking off? Mr. Xu is clearly here to inspect the situation."
Jiang Ran smiled faintly: "Sometimes the audience's eyes... are quite bright."
"Hey—" Ren Xiayang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, isn't this obviously just a blind guess? If you look down, you'll know they're wrong."
That's not necessarily true...
If you look down, you won’t know who will be slapped in the face.
At this moment, the crack in the study door suddenly widened a little.
Jiang Ran noticed it immediately: "Who? Come in."
The door was pushed open a little bit more, and Fu Bo looked in.
Jiang Ran asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you couldn't possibly step into the study?"
Fu Bo said confidently: "A short pain is worse than a long one. I'd better adapt quickly."
"So you're here to fight fire with fire? To make yourself immune as quickly as possible?"
Fu Bo said as a matter of course: "Yes!"
The author has something to say:
Ren Xiayang: What's wrong with being slapped in the face? Mr. Xu's reputation is more worthy of protection...right, Mr. Xu?
