Chapter 162: You Are Not Fit to Sit in This Seat

Real-time viewership ratings are data that directors will inevitably pay attention to.

Generally speaking, real-time viewership ratings are certainly not entirely accurate, but with the advancement of technology, the accuracy is getting higher and higher, and there will only be slight discrepancies with the actual viewership ratings.

Qian Qingyun is a director who is relatively focused and serious about his work, and since today is a large-scale National Day Gala, logically speaking, his attention should be placed on the gala first, rather than being distracted by checking viewership ratings while presiding over the big picture.

There is only one reason why he would notice the changes in viewership ratings.

The staff member responsible for monitoring this area simply couldn't hold back, because for this year's gala, during the segment for "Loyalty to the Country," the viewership rating had already broken the Peak Value of the previous two galas!

In this current era, the viewership ratings of major galas can be said to be declining year by year.

If you look at the current general trend, wanting to break the historical record since the beginning of time is a pipe dream, completely unrealistic.

After all, in the past, everyone stayed in front of the television to watch the gala, but now that is long gone.

Like this kind of surpassing the Peak Value of the previous two years and breaking the records of these past few years is already an incredibly terrifying thing!

"Is it because he is a Top Traffic?" This thought popped into Qian Qingyun's mind first.

But he quickly denied it again.

The so-called Top Traffic in the circle is not just Luo Mo alone, but they absolutely could not achieve this point.

One reason is that their traffic is a bit falsely high, and another point is that fans go crazy for them, but passersby do not.

They have many fans, and many anti-fans as well.

Some people will come specifically for them, and some people will avoid them.

But Luo Mo is different.

As a Top Traffic, his passerby base is too large, and his reputation is too good!

"This is what a real traffic star should look like!" Director Qian shouted in his heart.

For directors, such a star is too useful, and the benefits they can bring are too many!

"I wonder how his acting skills are?" Qian Qingyun thought in his heart.

But it doesn't matter; an excellent director must have the power to turn decay into magic.

Many people have a feeling when watching movies, which is that the acting skills of some stars fluctuate.

When their acting is clearly explosive, it is truly explosive. But when they are lackluster, they are truly lackluster.

Sometimes, this also has to do with the director.

Some directors who are good at guiding are even called "Best Actor/Best Actress Makers."

In his early years, Qian Qingyun had such a title.

Backstage, this one of the Four Great Directors of the older generation stared at the young man on the screen sheathing his sword, his gaze burning.

"Directing the gala this time can be considered as fulfilling the duty." He wore a smile.

Or rather, it's not just fulfilling the duty, he can even receive an award!

Reaching a new high in viewership ratings for recent years is already an unprecedented thing.

The most important thing is that it was a song with this kind of theme, and the viewership ratings exploded!

These are completely two different concepts.

"It was clearly pulling him in to fill a spot temporarily, yet this young man created a miracle." Qian Qingyun thought in his heart, feeling it was a bit incredible.

Originally, his breaking the rules to invite a Newcomer like Luo Mo to participate in the National Day Gala still existed with some controversy.

Especially some old stubborn ones.

Some people, the older they get, the more they love to use Seniority to judge others.

Because their own strength is deep Seniority.

"Now is just the right time to tell this group of people to shut up." Qian Qingyun gave a cold snort in his heart.

………

………

With the song "Loyalty to the Country" finished, Luo Mo walked into the backstage corridor.

He did not know that the second "Godly Image" of his life was born tonight.

His first Godly Image was the Back Shadow of him walking off the stage alone in the rain of golden paper during the finals of "Creating Idols."

The second Godly Image is the frozen photo of him in a red martial arts outfit, standing on a large drum, sheathing his sword.

That spirit and vigor, that dashing and unrestrained air, made the calls on the internet to see him act in a historical drama explode directly.

This Godly Image even climbed directly onto the Hot Search, and the final action of sheathing the sword will also start spreading wildly on major short video platforms starting tonight.

Tonight is undoubtedly also a night belonging to Luo Mo.

Many people will re-evaluate his personal commercial value.

He can even hold up a large-scale holiday gala; what other commercial activities, or rather large-scale variety shows, are there that he cannot hold up?

If one says that the Peak Value of the gala's viewership ratings and online heat tonight is "Loyalty to the Country," then he is equivalent to once again crushing the music scene!

The phrase "debut is the peak" refers to many Idols who are only popular when they first debut and later become increasingly unsuccessful.

But Luo Mo's debut was truly the peak!

As mentioned before, a big benefit of stars appearing on major galas is that major platforms on the internet will spontaneously promote these holiday galas.

That is to say, the homepages, heat rankings, Hot Search, etc., of major platforms already have many positions reserved for the gala.

The data team at Penguin Video reacted extremely quickly.

In this world, the CCTV gala is broadcast uniformly on major video platforms, and they are not allowed to charge fees, not allowed to set up member-only viewing systems, and not allowed to insert any advertisements themselves.

Therefore, Penguin Video also has its own internal data, where they can see the heat of various programs in the gala on their own platform.

"Team leader! The heat of 'Loyalty to the Country' is soaring; the volume of audience comments, interaction volume, and the hearts in the like channel have all reached the Peak Value of tonight!" the data team member said excitedly.

High heat, high reputation, simply heaven-defying!

There is no way around it; who told this song to be broadcast on National Day—it was simply too fitting for the occasion.

"Pull the data out for me!" the team leader said immediately.

"Luo Mo, oh Luo Mo, how many times do you want me to run around for you?" He was a bit between laughter and tears.

Every time Luo Mo appeared in a program, it would explode in popularity.

And once it exploded, he, as the leader of the data team, would inevitably have to report the data upward.

Given the current cooperative relationship between Penguin and Luo Mo, they would certainly promote him vigorously.

We already favor him, and his stage performance is so top-tier; even if resources are tilted toward him, what can others say?

If we don't promote the best, should we promote you?

What kind of thing are you!

But the efficiency of the operations, publicity, product, and other major teams still took this team leader by surprise.

"Good heavens, you actually finished the posters and all the supporting publicity ahead of time!" The team leader looked bewildered.

Penguin Video, with the highest efficiency of any platform, pushed Luo Mo directly to the top.

With Penguin taking the lead, platforms like Weibo and Little Rotten Station certainly wouldn't be outdone.

Luo Mo's individual stage performance was air-dropped directly to the second spot on the Weibo Hot Search list.

Because the number one spot on the Hot Search list was called 【National Day Gala】.

The second was 【Luo Mo "Loyal Heart Serving the Country" Stage】.

In reality, among all the major platforms, the liveliest one was actually Pineapple TV.

The Strangers are very spiteful; this is a well-known fact.

Previously, Pineapple TV deleted all of Luo Mo's individual videos, which became almost common knowledge on the internet.

It is not like before; words like 【Blacklist】 and 【Xuezang】 are no longer things anyone dares to shout publicly.

But similar things, they still dare to do.

Pineapple TV's attitude is very clear: anything related to Luo Mo, we won't touch.

Therefore, a large group of Strangers were watching the Live Broadcast of the National Day Gala on platforms like Penguin Video before 8:50, refusing to give Pineapple TV any data.

As soon as it hit 8:50, when it was the host's turn to go through the motions and call out Luo Mo's name, they flooded into Pineapple TV.

"Oh my, why are you broadcasting Luo Mo?"

"Edit it, aren't you very fond of using your 【One-Cut-Gone】 move on him?"

"I suggest inserting commercials here; isn't Pineapple very skilled at this routine? Hurry up and insert them!"

"Hahaha! Even if they dared to insert commercials, no advertiser would want to broadcast their products at this time. Do they still want to sell their goods?"

"Luo Mo isn't someone you can blacklist just because you want to, understand?"

When the host finished the procedure and the screen was about to switch to Luo Mo's individual stage, the Strangers retreated from Pineapple TV like a tide.

—Curse a few times and leave!

Luo Mo's traffic data, you don't deserve it!

This night, they all felt it was very satisfying.

Still that same saying: "Luo-kicking-while-down, we are professionals."

Over at Pineapple TV, Wang Shibai fell into a fit of rage tonight; he dialed Wang Shisong's phone, and the two brothers started their bickering mode again.

"Do you know that today, every platform in the industry is watching our Pineapple TV as a joke!?" Wang Shibai was so angry his teeth itched.

The main thing is that the organization called Strangers is too silly; they love doing things that look hilarious in the eyes of passersby.

This causes this evil organization to trigger a massive sensation on the internet every time they mobilize on a large scale.

Coupled with the fact that Luo Mo indeed created another god-tier stage, it made the onlookers feel that Pineapple TV truly has a serious mental illness.

Wang Shibai became angrier the more he cursed on the phone, because he suddenly realized that Luo Mo had just debuted, his career had only just begun, and he was only 24 years old.

And Wang Shibai was already old.

Is this damn thing going to anger me all the way into the coffin?

He said angrily to Wang Shisong on the phone: "Don't tell me it's just a gala; what if he participates in the Spring Festival Gala in the future?"

"I don't want to spend New Year's Eve welcoming the mockery of my peers while sitting at the same dining table as you!"

Wang Shisong, on the other end of the phone, listening to his own brother playing the "hindsight is 20/20" card again, also said irritably: "Why didn't you say a peep back then? You didn't have the foresight then, but now you're acting like a Prophet, starting to predict the Spring Festival Gala?"

In the end, the two brothers hung up the phone in an unpleasant atmosphere.

"Luo Mo!" Wang Shisong gripped his phone, gnashing his teeth.

He couldn't even remember how many times this young man had slapped his face this year.

One of the four major companies in the circle, yet because of this one person, it has repeatedly become the laughingstock of the circle!

Wang Shisong looked at the Live Broadcast of the National Day Gala on the big screen, and his whole person suddenly froze for a moment.

Because the camera had just swept across the audience, and he saw at a glance that handsome face of Luo Mo's that made people feel disgusted.

Logically speaking, stars who have finished their performances, if they enjoy high-standard treatment from the program team, will gather together to sit in the audience seats at the venue.

But Luo Mo was not sitting in that circle of stars.

This young man was actually sitting beside a group of old people!

Originally, Qian Qingyun had reserved a seat for Luo Mo in the circle of stars, and even the name tag was stuck on the seat.

However, Luo Mo was called over by those few old people there.

He was currently sitting in a position that Wang Shisong wouldn't even be qualified to sit in if he went to the venue!

(ps: Second update, begging for double monthly tickets! There will be a third update tonight!)
