Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 282 Ratings

Time passed by minute by minute.

Before we knew it, the eight shows had been completed.

The time came to nine five.

Finally, it was Fahrenheit's turn for the next show.

Wu Zhuo and three others stood in the waiting passage waiting to be called by the host.

“In fact, 2008 marks the th anniversary of our country’s reform and opening up.

More and more Chinese people are willing to learn foreign languages ​​and cultures.

But you may not know that many foreigners are also fascinated by our Chinese language.”

The hosts of the Spring Festival Gala are divided into groups, and the group hosting this time is Li Yong and Zhou Tao.

Zhou Tao spoke first.

Then, Li Yong continued.

"Many foreign tourists come to China, for example, when they come to BJ, they must do three things.

One is to climb the Great Wall, another is to eat Peking duck, and the other is to learn Chinese."

"Well, these three things are the most difficult to learn Chinese." Zhou Tao said with a smile.

"When I was little, I stuttered and couldn't speak clearly. My grandmother told me that I would learn faster if I sang while speaking."

"real or fake?"

"Really? You don't believe it? There are people who can actually learn Chinese by singing."

"Come and listen!"

When Li Yong was halfway through his speech with Zhou Tao, Wu Chao and four others had already walked onto the stage following the instructions of the on-site director.

With them were several male dancers in white clothes, which contrasted with the red Tang suits they were wearing.

As the two hosts finished their words, the melody of "Chinese" began to play.

"The carrying pole is long and wide, the bench is wide, and the carrying pole is tied to the bench"

"The carrying pole is long and wide, the bench is wide, and the carrying pole is tied to the bench"

……

"Fahrenheit is on stage! Sister, sister, Fahrenheit is on stage."

"Quick, Flywheel Sea is coming on stage."

Within less than a minute after Flywheel Sea came on stage, a large number of viewers who were not originally watching the Spring Festival Gala switched their channels to CCTV.

Backstage, Chen Linchun was directing the on-site work while looking at the data monitor next to him.

“It has increased, and the increase is huge!”

Before Chen Linchun could see clearly, the employee who was testing the data started shouting excitedly.

"Just now, the ratings of Wu Bin and Li Weijian's crosstalk "Crazy Stock Fans" fell below the 40 average since its launch, and are now only 36. In less than a minute since Fahrenheit appeared on the show, the ratings have recovered to 46, and are still rising."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohai, who was not far away, couldn't help but look up, "Old Chen, it seems that we were right to choose Fahrenheit to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

Young people nowadays like this kind of singing and dancing."

Chen Linchun nodded. He was also very happy about the surge in ratings after Fahrenheit’s appearance.

The selection of programs for the Spring Festival Gala is not entirely decided by these directors.

Above them are leaders.

If some leaders specify who should act, even the director has to obey.

Fahrenheit was not arranged by the leadership.

It was a decision made by him and Zhang Xiaohai.

After receiving the Spring Festival Gala assignment, they investigated a large number of singers and actors.

I found that Fahrenheit is incredibly popular and there is a lot of discussion about them online.

In addition, Wu Zhuo, a member of the group, has gained great fame internationally.

Therefore, Fahrenheit became the singer that they both strongly recommended.

Logically speaking, for a singer group as popular as Fahrenheit, even if they don't recommend it, there might be leaders who would ask to invite them.

But they recommended it.

Since they have made the recommendation, naturally they have to bear the risks of the recommendation.

If Fahrenheit's performance on the Spring Festival Gala is not good, they will inevitably be criticized.

Now!
Apparently, their recommendation was correct.

However, although he was happy about the ratings after Fahrenheit's appearance, Chen Linchun couldn't help but frown for "Crazy Stock Fans".

The performance of this show fell far short of expectations.

He had just discovered backstage that the jokes in this show hardly resonated with the audience. Many people didn't seem to like this show very much.

"It seems that if I become a director of the Spring Festival Gala again, I will have to consider more about what young people like."

Chen Linchun made a decision in his heart.

Then he turned his gaze towards Fahrenheit on the stage.

From a professional perspective, this group is composed of all members except Wu Zhuo whose singing skills are up to standard.

The other people's singing skills are really average.

Even dancing is like this.

But the appearance of these four people is too outstanding.

They all know how to act cool.

Plus the songs are good.

No wonder there are so many fans throughout the Chinese-speaking world and even in Asia.

“The whole world is learning Chinese”

“Confucius’ words are becoming more and more international”

On the stage, Wu Zhuo and three others were still singing with all their might.

After going on stage and getting into the mood, several members were not bothered by their previous nervousness. This made Wu Chao, who had been worried about something going wrong on the stage, feel a little relieved.

Fahrenheit is perfect when it doesn't make mistakes.

At least that's what it looks like in the eyes of the audience.

Most of the audience at the event had heard Fahrenheit’s songs.

Therefore, everyone was very respectful to Fahrenheit's performance.

When Fahrenheit finished their performance and bowed to take their bow, there was warm applause from the audience.

Amidst applause, Wu Chao and his group slowly left the stage.

"Well done, you guys have brought the ratings back up where they were."

As soon as I returned to the backstage, Chen Linchun appeared there.

He smiled and congratulated Wu Zhuo and the other three on their successful performance.

"Director Chen, could you tell me the ratings?"

Wu Zhuo is more familiar with Chen Linchun.

During the previous rehearsal, Wu Zhuo went to his house for dinner.

So Wu Zhuo was not as reserved as the other three members of Fahrenheit, and he went straight to Chen Linchun.

“53, currently second only to the opening show.”

Chen Linchun smiled and patted Wu Zhuo on the shoulder, "Keep working hard on your own show later, and get a viewership rating of at least 40, if not 50!"

"Director Chen, please don't put pressure on me. I'm already under enough pressure."

Wu Zhuo smiled bitterly.

"I'm not putting any pressure on you. I believe you can do it."

Chen Linchun really believed that Wu Chao could do it.

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is broadcast on all TV channels.

In other words, all the country's first-tier TV stations will broadcast the CCTV Spring Festival Gala tonight.

This means that almost everyone who watches TV across the country will have to turn off the TV tonight.

Otherwise you have to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

In this case, the audience rating of 40 percent is a little high.

But not too high.

Speaking of which, this year's Spring Festival Gala has only been performed for less than half.

But success is clear.

At the beginning, all channels broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala across the country were counted together.

This year's Spring Festival Gala's opening audience share reached an astonishing 96%.

This is a scary and terrifying number.

Patting Wu Zhuo on the shoulder again, Chen Linchun didn't talk to Wu Zhuo much and motioned him to change his clothes.

Wu Zhuo also has another performance, "Blue and White Porcelain".

Of course, the costumes for this performance cannot be the same as those for "Chinese", and need to be replaced.
