Chapter 453 Amazing Ratings!
“Dee-dee-dee…” After eating the buns, Fang Qiu clapped his hands and was about to turn off the mobile phone to start reading and studying, but it suddenly rang.
“Mom?” Fang Qiu quickly answered the phone.
“Hi, dear, are you awake?” The voice of Fang Qiu’s mother came from the other end of the line.
“I’ve been up for a long time, and I’ve just finished my breakfast,” Fang Qiu said.
“Why didn’t you sleep for a little longer? Aren’t you tired of getting up so early in the morning?” Fang Qiu’s mother said with a smile.
“What?” Fang Qiu was stunned. He was surprised. How did his mother become so tender?
“I have something to tell you.” It seemed that his mother didn’t notice anything wrong about her behavior. With a grin, she said, “Last night, I watched the live broadcast of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor with your father.”
“Your son did a good job, didn’t he?” Fang Qiu smiled.
“Dee-dee-dee…” His phone rang.
It was Chen Yinsheng.
“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“Fang Qiu, I’ve watched the first episode of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor that you participated in. Your performance this time is very good.”
Chen Yinsheng praised Fang Qiu with a satisfied smile and said, “In the show, as the student of our school, you showed self-confidence, strength, and intelligence. You have done very well.”
“Thank you.” Fang Qiu thanked him.
“Although you did a good job, you have to work hard in the following days. You can’t gloat, got it?” Chen Yinsheng said.
“Understood,” Fang Qiu answered with a smile and then hung up the phone.
However, the phone rang again as soon as it was hung up.
This time, it was Xu Miaolin.
“You’re really good at this show, aren’t you?” As soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Miaolin began to tease him.
“It’s all because of you, Mr. Xu. You taught me well.” Fang Qiu chuckled.
“Not bad. You’re a humble young man.” Xu Miaolin nodded with satisfaction and then added, “But why do I feel that something is wrong with you, boy? This program has become so popular, but why are you still so low-key? Don’t you want to go out and enjoy the feeling of being a big star, enjoying being admired by those crazy fans?”
“Of course not,” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and replied, “I’ll always remember that I’m a Chinese Medicine doctor, not a celebrity!”
“Great,” Xu Miaolin responded, and then said, “It seems that you haven’t gloated yet, but you have to remember that you and Holy Doctor Chu have made a bet, and you have to perform well next time. Pay attention to Luo Jie. Since he can be taken as a disciple by Holy Doctor Chu, this person is definitely not easy to deal with.”
“I understand. Don’t worry.” Fang Qiu chuckled and said, “I definitely will let you get married.”
“Ha-ha, you silly boy.” Xu Miaolin scolded with a smile and then hung up the phone.
In the office of the department which made the show Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, Director Li Huawen sat in the main seat while other leaders and staff of other departments sat in front of a huge desk.
Now everyone was waiting for the statistics of last night’s ratings.
“Why hasn’t the data come out yet?” The deputy director was a little anxious.
“Yeah, I’m so worried.” A playwright-director also echoed and said, “Although the topic of the first episode went viral online, what matters most was the ratings and market share.”
“Calm down. Just wait quietly. They’re almost done with the statistics,” Director Li Huawen said.
“Pitter-patter…” A moment later, there was a rush of footsteps.
A staff member rushed in with a list and shouted, “Here, the ratings are here.”
“Swoosh!” All the people in different departments immediately stood up.
“How is it going?” the head of the marketing department asked.
“How high are the ratings and the market share?”
The deputy director suddenly became nervous.
“Director.” While everyone was asking anxiously, the staff member ran all the way to Li Huawen and handed the report to him. “Please announce it.”
Li Huawen took over the report.
After taking a look at it, Li Huawen immediately said, “May 3rd, the variety shows’ list of ratings!”
“Young Chinese Medicine Doctor which showed on Channel 3 of Central Television started at 8:30 in the evening and ended at 10:00 in the evening. The category of the show is an education variety show. The ratings are 2.5%, and market share is 10.7%.”
As soon as he finished reading, everyone, including Director Huawen himself, was dumbfounded!
All the crew of the show were shocked.
“The ratings of the first episode of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor actually reached 2.5%?”
It had taken up 10% of the market share.
This result would definitely make it the top show in the country.
Even those popular stars’ shows could not reach this level.
For a moment, everyone felt like they were dreaming!
This dream was perfect!
“Yeah…” A moment later, the roar of celebration suddenly broke out.
In the entire meeting room, all the people were so excited that they jumped for joy.
“We did it!”
“Our show is so popular!”
“Awesome! It’s awesome!
Exclamations of excitement and happy roars rang through the entire meeting room.
At the same time, the staff of the whole Central Television, from the director of the TV station to any other members, were shocked!
This was just the first episode of their show.
The publicity period lasted only a week. How could it reach such a high level as soon as it was broadcast?
What did that mean?
That was to say, with no big stars, this show could completely surpass the most powerful variety show composed of many famous stars.
The ratings of the first episode reached 2.5%.
What about the second and the third episode?
This number might go up or down. But judging from its popularity on the Internet and the heat of topics at the moment, there was no doubt that the ratings would rise!
