"Heavens, why is it me?" Wang Ou looked like he was about to cry." Will you find the murderer? Am I the murderer?"
"The votes will now be announced. Secretary Wang has four votes and Assistant Xia has two votes.”Now, please put Secretary Wang in prison.
This prison was just a square cage surrounded by iron bars. It was not a real prison.
Then, Secretary Wang was invited to the prison.
"Let me out." Wang Ou struggled in the prison.
"Stop struggling. The murderer is you.”Xia Zhou was still pretending.
At this point, everyone could only believe that Wang Ou was the murderer.
"You will regret this. I am not the murderer.”Wang Ou said angrily.
"Then, is Secretary Wang the real murderer?”The voice continued.
It was time to announce the truth.
Everyone's hearts were already in their throats.
Di Li, Reba, and Wei Xiaoxun put their hands together and prayed, hoping that they would be able to identify the real murderer.
"Secretary Wang…is not the murderer. The real murderer escaped. The real murderer is Assistant Xia!”The live voice chat undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on everyone.
"What?" Everyone looked at Xia Zhou in disbelief.
Sa Xiaoning said regretfully,"Oh my god, it's really you!" I shouldn't have voted for Secretary Wang at the last minute.”
Wei Xiaoxun also looked helpless." I only changed my mind after listening to Xia Zhou's final explanation. If I had known…"
"I knew it was you. Why didn't you vote for him?" Dilly said unwillingly.”
He Jiong shook his head and sighed." Xia Zhou, your explanation was too brilliant. You misled us."”
Wang Ou was speechless.
Xia Zhou said humbly to everyone,""It was just luck."
She was already laughing in her heart.
" Next, please come up. Our sponsor 'Xiao Wei's cell phone mascot, Wei Wei, will present the prize to our Xia Zhou. As Xia Zhou has successfully escaped, he will be able to take away six gold bars!”The live voice continued.
After saying that, a staff member wearing a doll costume carried a plate covered in red cloth. There were six gold bars on it.
Under everyone's envious gazes, Xia Zhou took all the gold bars alone. Of course, these gold bars were all fake and plastic props. However, these props could be used for the settlement of rewards after the end of the entire season. The person who obtained the most gold bars would receive a super big prize.
Just like that, the first episode of the celebrity detective ended.
Xia Zhou followed everyone backstage and changed out of his costume.
By the time Xia Zhou came out, He Jiong and the others had already changed their clothes and gathered together. When they saw Xia Zhou come out, He Jiong suggested to everyone,"Let's have a meal together to celebrate. Let's celebrate the successful conclusion of our first episode.”
This suggestion was immediately approved by everyone. Xia Zhou also nodded with a smile.
After Xia Zhou won the game, the three Lucky Cards were already in Xia Zhou's system box. Xia Zhou wanted to find some time to buy lottery tickets.
He Jiong asked his assistant to book a private room at the nearest hotel in the television station. After bidding farewell to the director and other staff members of the program team, everyone sat in a car and went straight over.
It was nine o'clock at night.
The television station was already very empty. Other than those who were still working overtime at the television station, most of the people had already gotten off work.
At this moment, Director He Shu was sitting in his office, facing his computer and looking at the contents of the first episode of the celebrity detective program.
He Shu lit a cigarette in his hand. The ashtray beside him was already filled with cigarette butts. No one knew what He Shu was thinking at the moment. His expression was very complicated, as if he was lamenting or sighing. When the video happened to show the scene of Xia Zhou fighting with the " corpse," He Shu's expression showed a smile.
He Shu's assistant walked in with a cup of coffee. Seeing that He Shu was still watching the video, he said,"Director He, you've been watching this video for more than two hours. Since it ended, you've been watching it until now.”
He Shu looked up at his assistant and said to him,""What do you think of today's episode?”
"Thoughts? I think it's very successful. Oh right, I just got the statistics of our live broadcast. The number of viewers during the live broadcast is on the rise. The highest number of viewers is two million. This number is really terrifying.”The assistant said to He Shu while holding a form.
When the assistant said two million people, He Shu's smoking action obviously stopped for a moment. A trace of surprise appeared on his face, but soon, this expression immediately disappeared.
" Two million people," He Shu repeated the number with emotion. He paused for a moment and continued,""I remember that the highest price for our radio station's variety show was 600,000 yuan, right?”
As he said that, He Shu took the form from his assistant. On the form, there was not only the curve of the number of people online, but also the curve of the number of bullet comments sent, the curve of the viewership ratings…
He Shu saw that all the curves on this table were showing a very exaggerated trend.
He Shu seemed to have realized something. He stared at the curve of the number of bullet comments. This curve had a few obvious peaks. He Shu compared the time when these peaks appeared on the computer.
The first peak was 6 minutes and 20 seconds. That was when Xia Zhou cried at the corpse.
The second peak was 10:31 seconds. This was when Xia Zhou sang " If I Drive an Excavator, Will You Still Love Me?"
The third peak was 18 minutes and 54 seconds. This was when Xia Zhou was fighting with the corpse.
The fourth peak…
He Shu discovered that every time the number of bullet comments peaked, it was related to Xia Zhou.
At the end, He Shu laughed self-deprecatingly for some reason.
"Yes, it was your previous program,'Special Missions' that set a record," the assistant said.”
"Then why do you think the show, Celebrity Detective, has such high ratings?”He Shu asked his assistant.
"Needless to say, it must be your creativity that attracted the audience. This is the first time we have a detective variety show.”the assistant said with a smile.
Hearing his assistant's words, He Shu finished the last puff of cigarette in his hand and lit another one. He took another deep puff and said,"If that's really the case, that's great.”
He Shu said this sentence meaningfully, and the assistant beside him was instantly confused.
"Director He, why would you say that? Isn't that so?" the assistant asked.
"I don't think so." He Shu reached out his hand and pressed the space bar on the computer keyboard in front of him. As he pressed the space bar, the video stopped playing. The scene stopped at the final curtain call, where Xia Zhou's close-up was shown.
"The credit for this episode's success should go to him.”He Shu pointed at the computer screen and said.
"Him?" The assistant looked at the computer screen and said to Xia Zhou,""Are you talking about this guy who was called here today to make up the numbers?”
"Yes, it's precisely because of his appearance today that I realized that it's very likely that the directors in charge of variety shows in our station have all been wrong before this.”He Shu took another puff of his cigarette and said in a helpless tone.
"Director He, what's wrong? What do you mean? Why am I getting more and more confused?" The assistant asked in confusion.
"When I saw him today, a word suddenly popped up in my mind-'variety sense'. I think I've been neglecting this word. What have we been pursuing? All variety shows were the same. What they pursued was nothing more than creativity, a lineup of celebrities, and reasonable and rigorous content. But now that they wanted to return, did the audience really want to see this?”
Hearing He Shu say this, the assistant seemed to have heard something. He did not interrupt He Shu and quietly listened to He Shu continue.
"It wasn't until today that I realized that the audience actually doesn't want to watch these things. The audience wants to watch variety shows to feel happy. What they want to watch is a show that can make them laugh and make them feel relaxed, happy, and happy.”Speaking up to this point, He Shu said very self-deprecatingly,"Thinking about it, it's also ridiculous. This is the essence of a variety show. I didn't expect it at all before. I really ignored the essentials and focused on the trifles.”
