Chapter 388 Ace Variety Show Confrontation, the Hope of Branching Out

Both "Running Man" and "Where Are We Going, Dad?" have become popular!

In terms of the ratings of variety shows that week, the two variety shows ranked in the top two, and both made it into the top three in the statistics of all satellite TV programs + film and television ratings that week. What's more frightening is that the replay ratings of the two programs also entered the top ten.

In addition, the total number of views of the two programs on the entire network is also far ahead.

"Running Man" aired two episodes, fermented for nearly two weeks, and the number of views exceeded 500 million.

"Where Are We Going, Dad?" premiered one episode, and the time was limited, and the number of views was close to 200 million in a short period of time.

Even if video websites have their own calculation methods, and it is difficult not to mix some water, the actual number of views is still very impressive.

This can be vaguely seen from many other pirated websites. The data of pirated websites is not regular, but it can verify the popularity of the program from the side.

Among these websites, "Running Man" and "Where Are We Going, Dad?" have hundreds of thousands of clicks and downloads, and the popularity is firmly in the top ten on the website, and many can even make it into the top five or top three.

The movies released this month, "Logan 2" and "Now You See Me" which are not weak in momentum, were suppressed.

That is, "Detective Di Renjie: The Mystery of the Mystery City Dragon King", which was released at the end of last month and raked in more than 600 million yuan at the box office, could barely resist.

Other TV series broadcast this month, such as "The King's Woman" by Si Yatou, "The Price of Victory 2" by Tianyu's leading CP Shuangzi and Zhang Han, and the well-known military-themed "Special Forces: Fire Phoenix" are not opponents.

On the contrary, last month's "Hot Mom" ​​by Sun Niangniang, the Republic of China-themed "Dog Beating Stick", "Little Daddy" starring and produced by Wen Zhang, and "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" which has been popular in the summer season and has been extremely popular, have become stumbling blocks for the two programs.

By the way, there is another TV series worth mentioning, which is the Korean drama "The Heirs" that just came from South Korea, and its popularity is not low.

In the previous life, Korean dramas were very popular, and "My Love from the Star" and "The Heirs" played a very critical role.

But now, "My Love from the Star" has been snatched by Boss Wei, and Blue Whale has also produced many excellent works in the past two years, raising the threshold of domestic audiences.

Although "The Heirs" is still loved by many audiences, it is far from shocking domestic audiences and setting off a wave of Korean idol dramas.

Handsome men and beautiful women?

Blue Whale is almost all handsome men and beautiful women.

Campus theme?

Blue Whale has also filmed a lot, and it is more localized, so that the audience can distinguish between reality and fantasy.

Chaebol young master and Cinderella?

Blue Whale has also filmed similar routines several times, even in modern and ancient times.

Costumes and props?

This is Blue Whale's strong point, especially urban dramas. Since "My Love from the Star", it has been above the standard. I dare not boast that it beats Korean dramas, but it is not the turn of Korean dramas to show off.

Actor appearance?

No matter how handsome Lee Min Ho is, he is not as handsome as Boss Wei, and no matter how beautiful Park Shin Hye is, she can't suppress the 85 flowers and the two beauties of Xinjiang Province.

Even comparing Li and Wei Yang is considered bullying.

This is not just a difference in appearance, but also in temperament. More importantly, Lee Min Ho's wealth is an act, while Boss Wei is really rich, a real domineering CEO who just walked out of a TV series.

No matter how good the acting is, it is still acting. How can it be compared with the real thing? Moreover, Boss Wei's appearance and temperament are only stronger than his.

So "The Heirs" is not as popular as it was in the previous life. At most, it is an ordinary hit drama. It is popular, but it is not particularly popular.

Not to mention, it also encountered two variety shows. Even if they are not direct competitors, there are two ace variety shows, which also attracted a lot of exposure and popularity.

Especially in the third week, the two broadcast one episode each, and the atmosphere was even more anxious.

"Running Man" had a rating of 2.21 and a market share of 7.25%, ranking first in the same period and the week!

The third episode had 52 million views in 24 hours and a total of 570 million views.

There were seven Weibo-related hot searches that day, and Baidu search index ranked second. Lei Datou, who performed well in the episode, gained 450,000 fans overnight, and another Guo Jingfei, also gained more than 300,000 fans.

"Where Are We Going, Dad?" had a rating of 1.94, ranking first in the same period and second in the week!

The second episode had 48.5 million views in 24 hours and 260 million views in total.

There were nine Weibo-related hot searches, and Baidu search index ranked first. The popularity of several major resident guests has steadily increased. For example, Lin Zhiying's average daily increase in Weibo fans exceeded 200,000+, and the total number of Weibo fans exceeded 30 million+.

At this point, the tit-for-tat of the two programs made the audience very excited.

Almost both ratings broke 2, and the number of views, Weibo popularity and discussion, as well as various benefits, were on par, and the intensity of the fight continued to intensify.

Even Shanghai Satellite TV and Hunan Satellite TV ignored their status and cheered for the two programs.

Hunan's flagship program "Happy Camp" announced that it had invited the main cast of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" to record the show, and another flagship program "Day Day Up" was also gearing up.

Shanghai Satellite TV launched a special spin-off program for "Running Man", and replayed "Running Man" in the morning, noon and evening, and even the news program appeared many times.

Later, not only the two TV stations, but also the relevant media began to promote the show, using all means.

Wei Yang is well-informed in the Magic City. He has already heard that several Shanghai-based mainstream newspapers and related celebrities are promoting "Run" and making trouble for "Where Are We Going, Dad".

This is also the reason why Wei Yang knew there were weaknesses in "Where Are We Going, Dad" but did not take advantage of them.

On the one hand, he was concerned about future programs, and on the other hand, he knew that even if he didn't take action, someone would still make a fuss.

For various reasons, Blue Whale has not offended Hunan Satellite TV in any way, but Magic TV has no such concerns. As long as "Run" is promoted, they are happy to be evil, and they can do it even if they report "Where Are We Going, Dad"?

The fight between the two sides was lively, and it seemed that both sides were in danger of losing, but Wei Yang was not afraid.

Having been in the industry for so many years, he has long been accustomed to competing and is very experienced. The more evenly matched the fight is, the more benefits there are and the higher the topic.

It is gratifying to have one company dominate, but it is also highly feasible for two powerful companies to compete.

Boss Wei believes that there will be no one in Hunan Province and Taiwan who does not understand this truth.

It is estimated that soon after realizing that the winner cannot be determined quickly, someone there will contact me, maintain a tacit understanding, maintain the intensity, kill the other several companies, monopolize the popularity, and split the two companies equally.

Wei Yang even made plans to cooperate.

When the time comes, let the creators of "Run" show their faces in "Where Are We Going, Dad", and then let the fathers and cute kids of "Where Are We Going, Dad" do an episode of "Run".

Not only will it deliver a happy ending that everyone loves to watch, but it will also be full of gimmicks and take advantage of each other's momentum. Maybe it can refresh the ratings record.

Wei Yang is a businessman, and there are half businessmen and half officials there. Although everyone is fighting hard, the goal is not to win or lose, but to maximize the interests as much as possible.

As long as the path is right, no one wants to lose both sides, but choose cooperation that makes everyone happy.

Boss Wei is very calm. The two programs have just been aired not long ago. Although the momentum is so strong, in his heart, it is far from reaching its peak.

This is a phenomenal variety show, and it’s a competition between two strong actors. After a few more episodes, the whole network will probably be filled with the Running Family and five groups of cute kids and dads.

…

The popularity of the two domestic variety shows did not affect the filming of the "Detective Chinatown" crew.

Of course, many crew members are also watching variety shows. Boss Wei even directly rents out the movie theater. A large group of people go to watch the variety show every Friday and Saturday, and they scream with joy. The seats in the movie theater are sometimes not enough.

But that was just an after-dinner entertainment life. During the filming, both the actors and the staff were very serious, otherwise they would just wait for Boss Wei or the directors to go crazy.

Gao Yuanyuan chose to travel after finishing filming, but did not move out of the hotel where the crew was staying. After all, it was more familiar and safer to live with his compatriots.

After that night, Gao Yuanyuan stayed in Thailand for almost more than a week, and Wei Yang barely saw her.

On the one hand, one of them was filming, while the other was having fun, so their schedules and rest periods didn't overlap. On the other hand, Gao Yuanyuan didn't know how to face Wei Yang and deliberately avoided them.

Boss Wei knew this well and would not meet each other if he could, and rarely asked about their travels.

However, he still sent two bodyguards to follow him in private. Regardless of that night or not, they were still friends and colleagues, so they still had to help out as much as they could.

Because of this incident, Gao Yuanyuan came over to express his gratitude when he returned to China. Unfortunately, the two parties were a little embarrassed. After chatting for a while, the latter left in a hurry.

As soon as Gao Yuanyuan left, Boss Wei completely relaxed and concentrated on filming, not even visiting the red light district.

The plot of "Detective Chinatown" is not difficult, and the performance of the actors is not difficult either. The main reason is the scene scheduling and numerous scenes, which takes a certain amount of time.

However, despite this, the total filming time of the crew was only about three months. In November, "Detective Chinatown" was officially completed.

Wei Yang, who was tired of staying in Thailand, took a plane directly back to Shanghai. He drank two bowls of pimple soup made by his mother at home to feel better.

“Is Thailand fun?”

Ms. Wang Yunping is a little curious. The couple did not go abroad last time Wei Yang took her, so the old couple have never been abroad and are still very curious about the overseas world.

"That's it. If you want to go abroad, we can go to Europe."

One thing to say is that when Wei Yang went to Thailand this time, he also felt that the security conditions were not as bad as he imagined. It is also possible that he was not exposed to the darkness at the bottom when he appeared.

However, for safety reasons, he still doesn't want his parents to go to Southeast Asia. If he wants to play, he can go to a relatively safe country.

At this point in his life, money is a trivial matter and he can spend it however he wants. What matters most is his health and personal safety. No matter how much money he spends, he cannot make up for it.

"I'm just asking. If I don't go, and I don't know how to speak other people's words, I can't even understand them."

Wang Yunping shook her head like a rattle. Although she was curious about foreign countries, she was just curious. She didn't dare to go out.

Not to mention foreign countries, even if Wei Yang often asked her to go to other scenic spots with her father or aunt, she was not particularly willing.

More than a year after moving to the magical city, I only made one trip to Hengdian and the nearby West Lake in Hangzhou. I was also cheated of thousands of dollars to buy a concentric lock that could protect my marriage.

But Xiao Zhao liked it very much, and it is said that he later found a way to reimburse her.

"Are you staying at home tonight?"

After serving his son some food, Wang Yunping asked. Wei Yang shook his head: "Something's wrong, don't wait for me."

Wang Yunping was a little unhappy: "How many months have you been away from home, and you just left when you came back?"

"We made an appointment. Others are waiting. I'll come back to stay tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow."

"Who's waiting for you?"

Wang Yunping looked at her son warily and questioningly, and couldn't help but say: "Liying is not in the Magic City, so don't let her be sorry?"

"Ahem."

Wei Shan, who had been sitting nearby reading the newspaper, coughed twice and relieved his embarrassed son.

"The child is older and you don't understand his affairs, so don't worry so much."

"No matter how old he is, he is still my son."

Wang Yunping was not polite at all, and immediately threw the blame on Wei Shan: "None of the men in your Wei family are good, the young ones are playboys, and the old ones are also flirting with each other."

Wei Shan became anxious: "When did I hook up with you?"

"That widow from the flower shop on the street next door comes here every day to buy fruit. She dresses like a coquettish fox and talks about Big Brother Wei, who will make your eyes pop out."

"puff!"

Wei Yang didn't expect that he would meet such a big melon. He looked at Wei Shan hesitantly and said solemnly.

"Dad, you can't be sorry to my mother."

It doesn't matter that the old couple usually bickered, but he couldn't sit idly by on this issue of principle. In his previous life, the old couple were still in love with each other when they were middle-aged. Don't disturb their relationship just because he has made a fortune now.

"Put your milk on...get out of your mother...go to your grandma...I'll beat you to death, you bastard, for daring to trick your father."

Wei Shan was so angry that his stomach ached, and no amount of scolding was appropriate. In the end, he took out his belt to punish this unfilial son.

I rescue you, and you stab me in the back!

"Try touching my son."

Wang Yunping, who had been scolding just now, felt warm in her heart when she heard her son's words and immediately started to protect her son.

"You don't have any secrets in your heart, why are you making such a fuss?"

"I……"

Wei Shan was about to cry but didn't have any tears. Didn't this make this ungrateful bastard so angry?

With Wei Shan's interruption, Wang Yunping didn't bother to pay attention to her son's troubles, but she still expressed her attitude.

"Anyway, except for Li Ying, my daughter-in-law, I won't recognize any other woman who comes in."

What kind of ecstasy soup did Xiao Zhao give Ms. Wang Yunping?

Boss Wei was very speechless. This is not his mother, she is almost becoming the mother-in-law.

"I want to bring you a grandson, but you won't recognize it?"

"No...wait, what did you say! Who is pregnant? How many months have it been?"

Wang Yunping's eyes suddenly lit up, and even Wei Shan, who was sulking next to him, didn't care about being angry anymore and looked at his son eagerly.

After Wei Yang's career has reached this level, the couple has no other thoughts in this life. They want to enjoy themselves and not cause trouble. The few wishes they have are to hope that one day he will find someone to get married in a down-to-earth manner, and then the couple will have grandchildren.

Even if you have grandchildren, it is not impossible to skip the wedding stage.

So when they heard these two words, the two people's attitudes were extremely positive, and even Wei Yang was frightened.

"No one is pregnant, I'm just joking.

"It's really not true. If there is such a thing, it's impossible to hide it from you two."

"Can I swear?"

"..."

After struggling with his words, he finally explained that he was just making a joke, and Wei Yang left the villa wiping cold sweat.

Wang Yunping was still a little uncomfortable: "No, this guy suddenly mentioned this matter. Maybe he has an idea. I have to call Liying."

"I don't have enough leisure time every day."

Wei Shan muttered when he saw his wife's fiery figure, but after thinking about it for a moment, he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his eldest sister Wei Xia, and then had fun.

"I have no hope, but the old Wei family can't just continue to spread the word. It's hard to find this condition, so we need to spread more branches..."
