Chapter 700: The Spring Festival Gala has the highest ratings in nearly ten years!

Spring Festival Gala, backstage.

"so horrible!"

"Chen Yu's popularity is completely at a standstill!"

The staff responsible for counting the ratings were looking at the monitoring data on the display screen in front of them, and many of them were dumbfounded.

At the beginning, when the Spring Festival Gala started on time at 8 o'clock, it had the highest ratings of 61%.

This is lower than last year.

Then, it dropped all the way to 29%!

Yes, you read that right. The ratings of Chen Yu’s last show dropped to the lowest point in the history of the Spring Festival Gala, and it didn’t even maintain the 30% baseline.

Obviously, Jin Yue’s career as director of this year’s Spring Festival Gala has come to an end.

It can be said that until the 29% viewership rating, this was a complete failure of the Spring Festival Gala.

The face is gone.

The whole internet is cursing.

The entire backstage staff was obviously under a lot of pressure at this time.

Everyone has placed their hopes on Chen Yu's show.

Jin Yue began to pray in his heart.

If the ratings of Chen Yu's show fail to increase, then he really has made no contribution this year and there is no hope for him to return to the Spring Festival Gala.

Being masturbated is certain.

There is a tradition in the Spring Festival Gala that many directors will be re-hired.

If Jin Yue can't be counted on next year, there's still the year after next and the year after that. As long as the director next year is worse than him, there's a high probability that he can still compete for the chief director position the year after next.

The prerequisite is that Chen Yu’s show can get high ratings.

Because strictly speaking, Chen Yu was invited to the Spring Festival Gala stage by Jin Yue, and no one can deny this.

And it was the result of his efforts against all odds.

So whether it’s life or death, Chen Yu’s duet program is the key.

He no longer had the heart to look at the data in the background, but the data employees had to keep an eye on it all the time.

Only a few minutes passed.

It is also a program that the entire Spring Festival Gala staff has high hopes for, with Chen Yu and Liu Yifei performing.

Swish!
A super upward curve, like a sudden jump, directly reaching a height of 45%.

That is, it directly increased from 29% to 45%.

Many people are obviously waiting for this duet performance by Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

When the time is up, change the channel directly.

Moreover, the curve of the real-time ratings jumped up one level every second. Before Chen Yu and Liu Yifei opened their mouths, the ratings increased by another 5% a few seconds after the background music started!

It was so outrageous that many people were stunned.

To be honest, they have never seen such an exaggerated increase in ratings over the years of the Spring Festival Gala.

Moreover, the internet became very popular the moment this program came out.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei are a classic on-screen and real-life couple in the entertainment industry. How many people were looking forward to their appearance on TV and singing a love song together. This time, the Spring Festival Gala has fulfilled the wishes of their fans and many moviegoers.

51%...53%...56%...

Until the show "When You Are Old" ended, the ratings had never dropped.

Like some programs, even Zhao Benshan had ups and downs, but Chen Yu did not. He was always rising, although the increase was slower and slower in the last minute, only increasing by 0.0%, but this had already made many staff members stunned.

It wasn't until the two men left the stage amid applause from the audience that the real-time ratings began to decline.

Even Zhao Benshan was unable to stabilize the huge amount of traffic brought about by Chen Yu's coming to power.

56%!

This is the real-time ratings of Zhao Benshan's appearance, which has exceeded any of his previous appearances.

As for Chen Yu, the highest ratings reached 63.7%!

The ratings are higher than at the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Director Jin!"

"Out!"

"'When You're Old' had a peak viewership of 63.7% and an average viewership of 57.6%!"

When the assistant told Jin Yue the final audience ratings, this nearly 60-year-old man almost jumped up from the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala with excitement.

It's too stressful.

Facing the whole network's abuse and the rage of his leaders behind the scenes, Jin Yue finally saved his only bit of face with the help of Chen Yu.

Such ratings also mean that Chen Yu will basically be a regular on the Spring Festival Gala.

Who dares to let such a big Buddha go?

With Chen Yu here, investment promotion, sponsorship, etc. are all guaranteed!
The advertising placement of one of Zhao Benshan’s programs amounts to tens of millions, which shows his strength.

"Brother Yu, thank you so much!"

Jin Yue held the hand of Chen Yu, who had just removed his makeup, while Yao Beina, who was standing next to him, looked in disbelief.

She still didn't know the ratings of the show. Although she knew Chen Yu was very famous, this was the first time she saw the director of the main station come to thank him in person.

"Director Jin, you're too polite. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am now!"

"Really? It was your recommendation that allowed me to perform on the Spring Festival Gala!"

Chen Yu always kept it in mind.

"Haha, that's not true. Without me, you would be on the Spring Festival Gala one year later at most!"

Jin Yue was laughing. Who doesn't like to hear good words, especially after being scolded by the CCTV leader just now? Now that Chen Yu said this, Jin Yue was really grateful.

But Chen Yu was indeed sincere, because the Spring Festival Gala that year was really important to him.

Without that magic performance, Chen Yu would not have become famous so quickly.

Sometimes, someone gives you a hand and you become successful. It is indeed due to your ability, but the help of others is also a force that cannot be ignored; many people tend to neglect this.

There were too many stars like this in the entertainment industry in his previous life. Chen Yu had also seen many people who thought they were awesome after becoming famous.

But the help of the platform, friends and the company are all indispensable factors.

Chen Yu has always had a good understanding of himself.

The reason he has come this far is, firstly, the accumulation from his previous life, and secondly, the halo of rebirth.

But, there is also support from others.

Jana Shahati, Teacher Chang Li, Mei Yanfang, and Jin Yue in front of us.

"Director Jin, I'm leaving first!"

"Happy New Year!"

After exchanging a few words with Jin Yue, Chen Yu prepared to leave.

The whole family was waiting for him and Liu Yifei to go back and have New Year's Eve dinner.

"Happy New Year!"

Jin Yue and Chen Yu waved and watched Liu Yifei and the other two leave.

"He became famous at a young age and already has the demeanor of a superstar!"

Jin Yue was sighing there, saying that this was a kind of courage that many young people did not have. It was said on the Internet that it would be difficult to produce a Chen Yu in a hundred years, and this was indeed not an exaggeration.

Such youth role models are definitely worthy of such praise.

“Wow, do you know what the ratings for your show are?”

Yao Beina got on the car and had already received the message from her colleagues in the troupe. She looked at Liu Yifei and Chen Yu blankly, and obviously understood why Director Jin had just thanked Chen Yu so excitedly.

63.7%!

Except for the first few Spring Festival Galas, this should be the program with the highest ratings in the past decade.

"so tall?"

Liu Yifei was shocked, but Chen Yu was very calm: "Look, the Spring Festival Gala program list has been posted, and so many people are looking forward to our duet!"

"Hahaha, I hope there will be more programs like this in the future!" Liu Yifei really enjoyed it.

Her boyfriend sang a love song to her in front of the whole world, and it was a song he wrote for her. This kind of happiness that brought great satisfaction to both her body and soul is unmatched by anything in the world.

This show has made Liu Yifei's heart bloom until now.

"Eh~~~The sour smell of love!"

Yao Beina was shaking on the side. This time, Liu Yifei rarely stood on the same side with her. Instead, she smiled and said, "Sister Beibei, falling in love is really an enjoyable thing!"

"That's because you found the right person!"

Yao Beina glanced at Chen Yu and said, "What a joke! Don't you even look at who your boyfriend is?"
In the recent poll of the world's top 100 most handsome stars, Chen Yu ranked ninth. The top eight were all white and black. Chen Yu is the only Asian in the top ten.

Although it seems ridiculous, Chinese people like it.

It feels like an honor to be ranked ninth.

And the key point is that Chen Yu was also selected as one of the sexiest and most popular movie stars among women.

Many people screamed when they saw his figure.

"Then you should find the right person too!"

Liu Yifei held Yao Beina's arm, and the two best friends started chatting enthusiastically.

Chen Yu now had time to ask about the pre-sale box office of "Invisible Spy" which was about to be released in the early morning.

"2.73 million. I wonder if I can reach 3 million before midnight!"

"It's mainly due to the Spring Festival Gala, not many people bought tickets..."

"Brother Yu, do you want us to buy some box office tickets and reach the 3 million pre-sale record?"

Yang Lu was talking there. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was basically difficult to achieve a pre-sale of 3 million.

Because the Spring Festival Gala is very popular at this time, some people are reunited at home and few people will go to the cinema to buy tickets; this is not as convenient as buying tickets with mobile phones and computers in later generations.

Just click and buy.

Box office manipulation has been the most common practice in the past two years. Many film and television companies are also doing it. Some do it to launder money, while others do it to make the box office look better so that more passers-by will buy tickets.

But I have never bought any of Chen Yu’s movies.

"never mind!"

Chen Yu shook his head: "If you can't make it, then you can't make it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

"The pre-sale record of 2.8-2.9 million has far surpassed the record of 3 million set by Fast and Furious 1.5!"

“And it’s a Chinese-Hollywood co-production!”

Although "Invisible Spy" was shot by a Hollywood team, it was also listed as an imported film because a Chinese company was involved in the production team. However, the media promotion of it is of course a domestic film.

After all, Yu Xin occupies the majority of the role, and Chen Yu is the leading actor.

"All right!"

"It depends on how high we can reach in the end!"

"Well, tell me when you come out. I'm hanging up now!"

Chen Yu listened to Yang Lu's voice on the other end of the phone before hanging up.

“It can’t reach 3 million?”

Liu Yifei was chatting with Yao Beina, but her ears were always perked up. She turned her head and looked at Chen Yu, trying to do two things at once.

"Well, we probably won't make it!"

Chen Yu did not feel disappointed at all, on the contrary he was quite happy.

Because 2.8 million is actually a miracle for Chinese films, let alone 3 million.

This result is absolutely outstanding, surpassing last year's "Extraction" without a doubt.

If that’s the case, then what’s there to be dissatisfied about?

The development of Chinese films in the next few years cannot be described as earth-shaking. It is definitely a step forward every year, and every year it breaks various records that were created in the previous year.

So even if "Invisible Mission" breaks 3 million today, it will still reach a higher level next year.

So in Chen Yu's opinion, there is actually no difference between 2.8 million and 3 million, the latter just sounds better.

It will definitely be broken next year, so what’s the point of having a certain amount?
With such arrogant words, Chen Yu probably only dared to shout them in his heart.

But others obviously don't think so.

Because no one is a reborn person like Chen Yu. If the 3 million cannot be broken, then it is unknown how long it will take for the next time. This is also Liu Yifei's real thought.

No normal person would think about how much the film industry will improve next year.

They only think about the present, and they compare the number of cinemas now, not next year.

"What 3 million?"

Yao Bei asked like a newbie.

"Box office, pre-sale box office for the new movie starring me and Chen Yu!"

"Spy action, you know?"

As Liu Yifei said this to her, Yao Beina's face suddenly showed an exaggerated smile again: "Oh my God, you are not satisfied with the 3 million box office?"

See, this is what ordinary people think.

In their eyes, 2.8 million is already an astronomical figure.

“It won’t reach 3 million!”

"That 2 million is already terrifying!"

"It's already over 2 million before it's even released. Oh my god, how much can this movie make?"

Yao Bei felt out of tune with his childhood friend.

"Haha, why don't you change jobs and come to my company? I'll package you. Look, my husband can write songs!"

Liu Yifei was teasing, but she didn't expect Yao Beina to keep nodding her head: "Please support me, I really want to leave the art troupe!"

"Really?"

Liu Yifei was just joking because of the advice given by Chen Yu.

She just took this opportunity to say it casually, but she didn't expect the other party to actually have this plan.

"Really, take me in?"

"My dad and I have written a lot of songs, and we want to find a music company to produce them!"

"No problem, you're definitely welcome!"

This was said by Chen Yu. With Yao Beina's talent, if she were given a few suitable songs, she would definitely soar to success.

Of course, the premise is that there is nothing wrong with her body.

"Haha, the boss has spoken, so don't worry!"

"..."

Yao Beina felt like he was dreaming. Is this the benefit of knowing a big boss?
If Chen Yu wasn't Liu Yifei's boyfriend, she would have wanted to marry him.

Haha, just kidding.

Yao Beina wanted to do so, but her family background did not allow her to do so.

"Come whenever you want, just one word!"

"When the time comes, we'll just do a symbolic physical examination before signing the contract!"

Chen Yu did not emphasize this matter, because no one would think that they would get sick. He just mentioned it and asked the company to arrange a hospital for him when the time comes.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell my dad!"

"I'll call today. I haven't talked to Uncle Yao for a long time. It's a pity that I didn't have musical talent when I was a child, otherwise... I would have become a singer!"

Liu Yifei laughed, and Yao Beina rolled her eyes at her: "You just say the grapes are sour because you can't eat them!"

"You don't even know how many people envy you now, and you still want to be a singer?"

"Please give musicians like us a chance to survive?"

"Hahaha!"

The two women laughed in the car and soon arrived at the neighborhood where Chen Yu and Liu Yifei lived.
