As expected, with Chen Feng's excellent performance, the criteria for selecting the next four instructors became even stricter. After Chen Feng, only two people had obtained the instructor turn. Moreover, only two instructors had chosen to turn. Chen Feng became the only contestant in the first episode, and also the first contestant to obtain the simultaneous turn of all four instructors at the beginning of The Voice of China.
Of course, those who were eliminated did not necessarily have no chance.
In fact, in the blind selection segment, the instructors could freely choose the number of people, as long as it did not exceed the limit of 15 people.
In other words, you could choose all 15 contestants during the blind selection, or you could choose only a few, and then wait until the revival match to choose the students you liked to make up the 15.
Due to this reason, from the beginning of the first livestream to the end, only eight participants had been selected by the instructors. Among them, Naying's group had the most participants, with a total of three participants. Next was Yang Kun's and Harlin's groups, with two participants each. Liu Huan's group had one participant, which was Chen Feng.
At the same time as the program was broadcast, the station head, Zhang Baoqiang, was also backstage, nervously looking at the data backstage.
"How is it? How was it? How were the viewership ratings? How much has it increased?"
Zhang Baoqiang asked this question many times in a row. The only answer he got was the excited voice of the backstage staff."Station Head, it's rising. It's always rising!”
Just like that, the same sentence was repeated over and over again, causing the entire backstage to be filled with a tense atmosphere even after the first episode was broadcast.
At this time, the staff finally sent the statistics report to Zhang Baoqiang.
"How is it?" Zhang Baoqiang took it and looked at it, not forgetting to ask the staff at the side.
"Station Head, the viewership ratings have exceeded our expectations. Furthermore, they are basically showing a straight line of growth. Only after Chen Feng finished singing did the viewership ratings drop slightly. However, the viewership ratings are still very high, at a total of 3.47%!”
"You broke three?" Zhang Baoqiang was a little dazed. How could a mere variety show's viewership ratings break three? Do you think this is a popular drama? Even a popular drama might not have such heaven-defying viewership ratings!
Zhang Baoqiang carefully looked at the report in his hands. Indeed, the report showed that the viewership ratings for the period when Chen Feng appeared were the highest. Especially for the period when the four instructors had turned around for Chen Feng, the viewership ratings had reached 3.87%, almost breaking 4%!
This was even under the situation where the audience did not know that Chen Feng would be appearing. When the audience in the next episode knew that Chen Feng would be appearing, how heaven-defying would the viewership ratings be?
Zhang Baoqiang felt his breathing quicken. He was about to have a heart attack!
"I think I need to take medicine." Zhang Baoqiang muttered.
"Medicine?" The staff was a little puzzled. They had never heard of Zhang Baoqiang's illness. What medicine did he need to take?
"I think I'm going to have a heart attack. Give me a quick-acting heart-saving pill!”Zhang Baoqiang said.
When the staff member heard this, he could not help but be speechless. However, he also understood Zhang Baoqiang. In fact, when this report was calculated, he also felt like he was dreaming. He almost fainted!
The highest viewership rating was 3.87%. One had to know that even the highest viewership rating of the hit drama with the highest viewership rating on Shanghai Television Station to date did not have such a high viewership rating. It had only broken through 2%!
"After finishing The Voice of China, everyone's salary and bonus for this season will be doubled!”
Zhang Baoqiang waved his hand and made a bold decision.
"Yay!"
"That's great!"
"Long live the Station Head!"
Hearing Zhang Baoqiang's words, the entire backstage immediately cheered.
The next day, when the Shanghai Television Station announced the viewership ratings for this episode of The Voice of China, the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar, especially the major local television stations. They were all in an uproar!
Zhejiang Television.
"How can there be such high viewership ratings? Back then, even China's Got Talent did not achieve such high viewership ratings.”
Zhejiang TV Station's Director Wu Chunlai found it unbelievable, so he instructed,""Study this show carefully and investigate who planned it. It's best if you poach the person!”
Mango TV.
Ouyang Changlin was also dumbfounded. He could be considered a very famous producer at the television station. It could be said that he had contributed greatly to Mango TV's current status.
Back then, the introduction of Princess Pearl, Super Girl, Happy Boys, and other talent shows were all related to his strong support.
However, even with the legend of Super Girl in 2005, Ouyang Changlin did not dare to think that he was the best in the world. Moreover, Super Girl wasn't suitable to be held every year. This could be seen from the obvious drop in the viewership ratings of Super Girl in 2006 compared to 2005.
That was why Mango TV had to prepare for 2007's Happy Boy, but even so, they were unable to salvage the viewership ratings.
At the end of the day, talent shows had already reached the point where the market was saturated. Who still liked to watch the same old thing?
However, The Voice of China had broken the law of the market. Even though the highest viewership rating of 3.87% was far from the highest viewership rating of 11.65% for Super Girl in 2005, that was because online video was still not developed in 2005.
And now, after counting the number of views of The Voice of China online, the viewership ratings for the first episode of The Voice of China were already close to the highest viewership ratings of Super Girl in 2005.
"It seems like the Shanghai TV station has picked up a cash cow this time.”Ouyang Changlin smiled bitterly. He had also watched The Voice of China at that time, so he could naturally see the brilliance of this program. He could also roughly guess why there were no advertisements in the first episode. It was to maximize the benefits.
Sure enough, as Ouyang Changlin had expected, after the viewership ratings for the first episode of The Voice of China were released, countless advertisers immediately approached them.
After discussing with Chen Feng, Zhang Baoqiang finally arranged for these advertisers to stay in a room. They adopted the " highest bidder wins " method.
In the end, just like in his previous life, the title sponsorship rights were eventually won by the rich and powerful Kadobe Herbal Tea at a price of 230 million. As for the 15-second commercial, the highest price was 4.3 million, which was much higher than the advertising fees for the first season and even the second season of The Voice of China in his previous life.
By the end of the auction, all the advertising fees added up to a sky-high price of 2.26 billion!
When the news came out, it was not just the entertainment industry that was shocked. It could be said that everyone in China was shocked!
One had to know that the advertising fees that Zhejiang TV's China's Got Talent had previously garnered were already very shocking, especially the title sponsorship fee of 80 million yuan. They did not expect The Voice of China to beat it this year, and it was nearly three times the price!
"F * ck, this is robbery!" This was what everyone on the internet was thinking.
However, what they didn't know was that the one who was really heartbroken was the Shanghai TV station. Even if Zhang Baoqiang had always been magnanimous, and he had agreed to the gambling agreement, he still had some regrets at this moment.
According to the bet agreement, once the highest viewership rating broke four, they would have to pay 35% of the advertising fees to Daybreak Entertainment. In other words, out of the 2.26 billion advertising fees, they would have to pay 791 million to Daybreak Entertainment, and this did not include the copyright fees for The Voice of China.
Although the viewership ratings had yet to break four, this was only the first episode, and the highest viewership rating for the first episode was about to break four. When the second episode was released, it was certain that it would break four. When the champion was decided, it would be normal for it to break five.
"Fortunately, even if you break five, you only have to pay 35%. Otherwise, you'll really suffer a huge loss!”Zhang Baoqiang thought to himself.
