Huayu: Starting from managing the Mahua FunAge Theater Troupe

After reading the newspaper.

Shen Feiyang then looked at the viewership data fax sent by Huanle Media.

The third episode of "Chinese Comedians" achieved a viewership rating of 28% in Liaoning Province.

The viewership ratings in key cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin remain stable at over 10%.

The average viewership rating in other parts of the country remained stable at 8%.

As expected, "Chinese Comedians" has been the top-rated variety show on provincial satellite TV for three consecutive weeks.

Shen Feiyang was no longer disturbed.

A variety show like "Chinese Comedians" is like an adult beating a child when it comes to competing with variety shows of this era—it completely crushes them.

Of course, things will be different when "Super Girl" and "Avenue of Stars" take off in the second half of the year.

……

In 2004, China Youth Daily identified 100 key cities for its distribution operations nationwide.

Through satellite printing technology, the newspaper can be printed simultaneously at printing sites in 24 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) across the country, ensuring that readers in the vast majority of regions can read the newspaper on the same day.

Its distribution network covers 29 provinces across the country and has a dedicated distribution team.

The circulation of each issue of the newspaper is around 50 copies, which is in the middle range among major national newspapers.

Meanwhile, China Youth Daily also has its own online version, "China Youth Online".

It has a very wide coverage.

The main readership of China Youth Daily is the highly educated youth group with the greatest consumption potential and influence in the country.

Within hours of the newspaper's release, many media professionals noticed Shen Teng's interview.

After all, it occupied most of the culture section of this issue of China Youth Daily, and even included a handsome portrait of him, so it was hard not to notice it.

More importantly, this interview is full of surprising and exciting moments.

"Mental exhaustion" is a new term I've never heard of before, but it directly describes the state of most people today.

And bizarre stories...

A 24-year-old college graduate, just entering society and feeling lost and anxious, actually followed the arrangements of his 18-year-old cousin with only a high school education, and then became a dazzling new comedy star.

Furthermore, Shen Teng's humorous style in answering reporters' questions in the article makes it easy and funny to read.

Most importantly, the right social values.

At the end of the article, the conversation between the reporter and Shen Teng, centered around the anti-abduction skit "Dad, Dad, Dad," elevates the overall theme of the article.

Shen Teng finally found the "cure" in his cousin's struggles and the value of his works: no matter what position you hold, as long as you make positive contributions to society, you will not feel anxious or confused.

With the right values, this interview, in addition to being "interesting," has an extra layer of power to be disseminated.

With all these factors combined, this article has the potential to become a viral sensation.

On that day, the latest issue of China Youth Daily, which was distributed to retail channels in the Beijing area, sold out completely.

Buyers range in age from fifty to thirteen or fourteen.

……

The report by China Youth Daily was like a starting gun.

In the following days, with the promotion and organization of departments such as the Women's Federation, the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the Education Bureau, the article "My Cousin Cured My Mental Inflation" was reprinted and commented on by major newspapers across the country.

……

From May 24th to May 28th.

Five days.

With the concerted efforts of media outlets nationwide, Shen Teng's name and photo reached hundreds of millions of readers and viewers within five days.

Shen Teng was quite troubled by this. He went to the bathhouse to take a bath, and he didn't know which idiot paid the bill for him. What's even more idiotic is that he left him money to go upstairs.

……

"As a Northeasterner, is the price of fame that I can no longer go to public bathhouses for a soak and a scrub?"

On the afternoon of May 28, around 5 p.m., Shen Teng, who was having dinner with Shen Feiyang and Yu Kai, looked melancholy after recounting the bathhouse incident.

"Hahaha……"

Shen Feiyang was almost laughing so hard he was choking.

Yu Kai smiled and shook his head.

Yu Kai then asked, "President Shen, some charity performances have approached us. Should we take them on?"

"What charity performance?" Shen Feiyang pulled a tissue from the tissue box and wiped away the tears of laughter.

Yu Kai explained, "That's right, the comrades from the Women's Federation hope that we can tour Yunnan and perform the skit 'Dad, Dad, Dad'."

"Yunnan is one of the key provinces for anti-trafficking work in the country. Last year, the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department also established a criminal investigation division to combat crimes of trafficking in women and children within its Criminal Investigation Corps."

Shen Feiyang: "Of course we have to do this. You coordinate the activity arrangements with the comrades from the Women's Federation. I will lead the team. The time needs to be planned well. If it conflicts with the premiere of 'Stone,' we will postpone the premiere, but we should not interfere with the recording and rehearsal of 'Chinese Comedians.'"

"Money can be earned later, but things should be done sooner. The sooner we act, the sooner a trafficked child might be able to go home. Besides, the Women's Federation has put in a lot of effort to cover this in the national media these past few days. We can't just do things that take advantage of others."

"it is good."

Shen Teng, who was standing to the side, nodded as well: "This is a good thing."

drop by drop...

I heard my phone ring.

Shen Feiyang picked up the phone that was on the table.

It was Long Mei who attacked.

There has been no contact for nine days.

Shen Feiyang answered the phone: "Hello, Producer Long?"

"Hello, Mr. Shen."

Long Mei got straight to the point: "After a meeting and discussion, our station has agreed to pay you one million yuan for planning and a hosting position on 'Happy Camp.' However, if this host doesn't perform well, we have the right to terminate the contract and dismiss them. Is that feasible?"

"Deal." Shen Feiyang didn't argue much; it was just a way to expand his network and earn some extra money on the side.

Long Mei: "When will the outline of the project be available? We need to analyze it first."

"Next Thursday, perhaps."

"Okay, Mr. Shen, I'll wait for your good news."

"Okay, goodbye."

Shen Feiyang hung up the phone and continued discussing the charity tour with Yu Kai and Shen Teng.
