Chapter 416 An Unexpected Surprise! New Year's Eve!
The New Year's Eve gala on Jiangsu TV has ended, but its lingering impact continues, growing ever stronger.
In particular, Chan Kam-ching's performance boosted the viewership ratings to over 10%.
This shocked the entire industry.
It's important to understand that in today's market, it's difficult for an individual performance to achieve a viewership rating of 5%. Even in the past, when the internet wasn't as developed, very few shows could reach that level of viewership.
Needless to say, now.
Previously, some people may have questioned whether Chen Jincheng, who debuted as an internet celebrity, could support the ratings of a New Year's Eve gala, even if he was the top male singer.
Now, even those who previously questioned him have simply shut up.
No one would be so sullen anymore.
Naturally, along with Chen Jincheng's solo performance becoming a ratings hit, Jiangsu Satellite TV's average viewership rating surpassed that of CCTV.
The industry was astonished.
CCTV has guaranteed viewership, and under normal circumstances, local TV stations simply cannot surpass their ratings.
Jiangsu TV has now surpassed CCTV. Although everyone can see that this is definitely related to Chen Jincheng's hype, it doesn't mean that as long as the hype is good and the program is exciting enough, it is possible to surpass CCTV.
This has spurred all the major local television stations to get started.
Naturally, Su Haoze, this young and handsome actor, was also brought up for comparison.
The young actor's solo performance only garnered a 1.5 rating, which shocked everyone and was a far cry from Chen Jincheng's performance.
Even so, he still had the courage to start an online poll on viewership ratings with Chen Jincheng.
Even though everyone knew his real-time viewership ratings, he was completely unaware and claimed on stage that Jiangsu TV's New Year's Eve Gala had the highest viewership ratings.
This is truly a huge joke.
Anyway, everyone online is making fun of this young heartthrob.
Many people even attacked his Weibo account and mocked him on his homepage.
"Haha, what does it mean to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot? You, Su Haoze, are a perfect example."
"I was supposed to be number one in viewership for Jiangsu TV's New Year's Eve Gala, but it only got a 1.5 rating!"
"Seriously, I just realized that even someone as popular as you is actually just a paper tiger, so easily defeated."
"Su Haoze, you're really something else! This time you've truly shown what it means to be a clown."
"..."
People have always disliked young male celebrities, but it's not good to criticize them for no reason, especially since their sasaeng fans are quite aggressive.
But now, with the online public opinion surging, those obsessive fans don't dare to show their faces. If they don't criticize Su Haoze, this young heartthrob, now, when will they?
Su Haoze, who had already returned to the hotel, naturally saw these comments on Weibo, which made him furious and smash things in the room.
He hated Chen Jincheng to death.
If it weren't for Chen Jincheng, he wouldn't be in such a terrible situation now.
But he already knew how formidable Chen Jincheng was, so he didn't dare to do anything to Chen Jincheng, or even provoke him again.
So, no matter how angry he was, he could only hold it in; he was truly furious.
Compared to the criticism Su Haoze received, there is another matter that has attracted a lot of attention: Chen Jincheng is going to hold a concert for Phoenix Legend, and the first concert will be held in Sujiang City, with the venue already being set up.
This rekindled the interest of many fans of Phoenix Legend.
The fans of Phoenix Legend have always been quite pitiful, because many of them grew up listening to Phoenix Legend's songs, and some can even sing along as soon as they hear one.
But the duo they idolize seems to make money too easily; they have no desire to hold concerts and earn money through hard work.
Neither of them seems to need fan support at all; they've never held any interactive events with fans. Which other celebrity doesn't? They do almost every year!
Therefore, after waiting for more than 10 years, no one expected Phoenix Legend to hold a concert.
Lin Rou is an example of this; she is a white-collar worker.
Similarly, she also loves to have fun. She dresses elegantly during the day and goes all out in a sexy outfit at night. She can be the karaoke queen with her girlfriends at the karaoke bar. Her favorite songs are those by Phoenix Legend, and she is good at singing "Lotus Pond Moonlight" and "Lady Shexiang".
Moreover, she met her husband while singing songs by Phoenix Legend, and she once vowed that if Phoenix Legend ever held a concert, she would definitely go to listen to it together.
It's a pity that neither of them had any intention of holding a concert, year after year.
She no longer expects Phoenix Legend to hold a concert.
Tonight, after attending a colleague's birthday party, she returned home to find her husband excitedly running over: "Honey, I have some good news for you."
"What good news?" Lin Rou looked at her husband with a puzzled expression.
My husband immediately said, "Phoenix Legends is having a concert! We can finally go see them!"
"This joke isn't funny at all. Everyone knows that Phoenix Legend is too lazy to even hold concerts." Lin Rou shook her head at the news, but she didn't understand why her husband suddenly brought this up.
My husband immediately said, "I'm not joking, it's true. Chen Jincheng just announced at the Jiangsu TV New Year's Eve Gala that he's already preparing for Phoenix Legend's concert. The concert venue is already being set up, so we can fulfill our promise."
Upon hearing this, Lin Rou exclaimed with delight, "Really?"
She went online almost instinctively, and sure enough, she soon saw the relevant information: Phoenix Legend was really going to hold a concert.
She almost exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my god, it's really true! That's wonderful, honey. We absolutely have to go see this concert that we've been waiting for for 10 years!"
My husband nodded and said, "That's right, we definitely have to go watch it. Chen Jincheng is going to do a live stream with Phoenix Legend tomorrow, and they might talk about the concert ticket sales. Let's go watch his live stream."
"Okay!" Lin Rou nodded.
Online, as the news spread, countless people, including Lin Rou and her husband, made similar plans.
It's true, many people have been fans of Phoenix Legend, listened to their songs, sang their songs, and were once young and full of youthful vigor, wanting to listen to Phoenix Legend's songs.
However, in more than 10 years, the two of them have never held a concert. As fans, we feel helpless when faced with such idols.
Therefore, it is assumed that the two will not hold a concert.
Now that I suddenly heard that the two of them are going to hold a concert, my old thoughts have resurfaced.
I definitely have to tune in to Chen Jincheng's live stream tomorrow.
These people went crazy liking the video of Chen Jincheng announcing a concert for Phoenix Legend, which propelled the event to the top of the trending topics list on Douyin.
On the other hand, after his anger subsided, Su Haoze focused all his attention on his concert. He had already received news that his boss had taken Cai Xukun to meet with many big shots, clearly indicating that the boss intended to groom him for a leading role.
Therefore, he must prove himself at this concert.
"We've already spent all the money, what's the current online situation regarding our concert?" Su Haoze asked his assistant and manager, Sister Fei.
He paid for all the promotions for his concert out of his own pocket.
However, both the assistant and Sister Fei had slightly furrowed their brows.
"We're already making headlines on Weibo, but on Douyin it's all about Phoenix Legend."
"The same goes for Kuaishou, and they're even more popular than Douyin. It's the same on Tencent News; everyone's talking about Phoenix Legend right now."
"What?" Su Haoze was completely dumbfounded: "I spent so much money and there was no effect at all? Only one Weibo headline? The popularity on other platforms has nothing to do with me?"
It wasn't like this before. With some money and his traffic, he could be the headline on every platform.
That's right, Chen Jincheng, it must be that bastard.
The other party has capital; they can throw in more money. How could a has-been singer like Phoenix Legend possibly have this kind of popularity?
That damn bastard. But he really couldn't do anything about Chen Jincheng; he was no match for him. Now he didn't dare to touch Chen Jincheng, and the company boss was even planning to apologize to him.
Su Haoze came up with a solution and immediately took out his Weibo account to post a message about the sales status of tickets for the first concert of his tour. Moreover, all 5 tickets had already been sold out.
With the headline: This is a top-tier concert, 5+ tickets sold out!
This title is obviously intentional, aiming to tell everyone two things: first, he is undoubtedly a top star; second, Phoenix Legend could not possibly have such strength, and it would be laughable if they couldn't sell their tickets.
He wouldn't dare target Chen Jincheng, but he could certainly try to sabotage the Phoenix Legend that the other party had signed. By overshadowing the other party, he could not only prove his own abilities but also show that Chen Jincheng was blind to talent. So what if he spent money to generate buzz?
But clearly, he never considered one thing: Chen Jincheng didn't actually spend any money. Phoenix Legend was already very popular, but their previous company was too lazy and didn't do any marketing for them. They were just sitting on a gold mine without knowing how to develop it.
In fact, after announcing the matter at the New Year's Eve party, Chan Kam-ching stopped paying attention to it because he had more pressing concerns.
Back at the hotel, he had just finished showering and was wrapped in a towel when someone knocked on the door. It was Jiang Xiaobai.
"Boss!" As soon as Jiang Xiaobai came in, she threw herself into his arms in a coquettish voice, and even reached out to untie his bath towel.
She was obviously there to steal it from me.
Whoever he's with tonight, first come, first served.
But before she could do anything, the knocking started again.
Chen Jincheng reluctantly opened the door; it was Ximeng.
"Boss!" Xi Meng called out sweetly as she entered. Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai was already there, she looked at him with amusement and said, "Xiaobai, you're quite fast."
"I just came to spend New Year's Eve with my boss," Jiang Xiaobai quickly said.
"What a coincidence, me too," Ximeng said with a smile.
Then, there was another knock on the door.
Open it, and you'll find the two sisters, Maruko and Chu Xiaoqing.
The two sisters were taken aback when they came in and saw Ximeng and Jiang Xiaobai.
Originally, they were going to work with the boss together. After all, having had one experience, it would be easier to accept the second one. Besides, the two sisters knew the situation of the boss's other female employees. If they didn't help each other, the competition would be too fierce.
Upon seeing Ximeng and Jiang Xiaobai inside, the two sisters exchanged a glance.
"Are you here to spend New Year's Eve with me too?" Chen Jincheng asked jokingly.
The two sisters could only nod.
Chen Jincheng smiled and thought of his past life. He didn't know when it started, but after Feng Xin became a scumbag, he spent every New Year's Eve alone. At that time, he had completely gone astray and didn't have a steady girlfriend at all.
Although Ximeng and Xiaowanzi aren't his girlfriends, they're still related, and having them spend New Year's Eve with him is definitely a unique experience.
Thinking about it, Chen Jincheng also created a group and added all the Cheng girls to it.
The girls were all surprised to see this group.
Chen Jincheng only sent one sentence: "Meet in the lobby in half an hour."
Xiao Ju, Li Xiaoyan, Li Lixing, Zhang Tianai, Tian Xiwei... all these girls were very confused. What was the boss going to do now?
However, they still obediently began to dress up.
Chen Jincheng changed his clothes and then called Lu Hao.
"Mr. Chen, I'm still at the TV station. What are your instructions?" Lu Hao's laughter came over.
Chen Jincheng got straight to the point: "Director Lu, could you help me contact a fireworks factory? I want to buy fireworks to set off with my female staff for New Year's Eve. I need some big ones. I'll transfer the money to you later. Also, could you please contact the hotel and ask if I can use the plaza outside?"
The plaza outside this hotel is huge. They even held a small red carpet event here for the premiere of "All Is Well". Setting off fireworks would definitely be no problem.
“That’s easy. But what are Mr. Chen’s specifications?” Lu Hao asked.
Chen Jincheng said with a smile, "Let's do it according to the standards your TV station always sets for events!"
"That would cost around three million." Lu Hao exclaimed, and at the same time sighed, "Mr. Chen is indeed generous, paying such a high price for setting off fireworks for a girl."
“Okay, I’ll contact the bank to transfer the money.” After Chen Jincheng and Lu Hao finished their discussion, Chen Jincheng made another call to the bank to explain a few things.
Since we're celebrating the New Year, let's make it as festive as possible.
Half an hour later, Chen Jincheng arrived in the lobby, and the Cheng girls were all there as well, looking at their boss with surprise and delight.
They already knew that their boss wanted to spend New Year's Eve with them and set off fireworks for them.
This can be considered the last unexpected surprise of 18.
At this moment, the hotel manager also hurriedly came out and said to him, "Mr. Chen, the TV station has already informed us that security guards have been arranged in the square, and no one else can get in."
"Thank you." After thanking her, Chen Jincheng led the girl to the square.
Soon, the fireworks arrived in large quantities, along with accompanying technical personnel. Such a large-scale fireworks show, worth millions, requires professional personnel to carry it out, and Lu Hao had made all the arrangements.
The girls couldn't resist taking out their phones to film the busy technicians.
Anyway, I'll definitely make a series of videos of spending New Year's Eve with my boss and post them on my Douyin account.
Otherwise, how would others know that she was spending New Year's Eve with her boss?
This kind of thing definitely needs to be made public!
In the hotel, Phoenix Legend, Linghua, and Zengyi stayed up until late at night, almost midnight, unable to fall asleep.
So, both of them were video chatting with people.
One is with his wife.
One is with her husband.
The internet is full of news about their concert, which is making them both very tense and under a lot of pressure. They need to talk to their families about it.
The main problem was a lack of confidence. The two of them didn't have many fans, and they were afraid of ruining the concert, which would be letting down their boss's good intentions.
As they were chatting, they suddenly looked out the window in surprise and saw streaks of brilliant colors shooting into the sky, then exploding into even more dazzling colors.
This is fireworks, and it seems to have reached the level of a fireworks show.
I checked the time; it's just the start of the new year, 19 has arrived.
Will hotels still offer such surprises for New Year's Eve?
Not only the two of them, but also other celebrities who stayed overnight at the hotel, such as Xue Qian and Zhou Shen, who hadn't gone to sleep yet, noticed the sudden fireworks display.
Xue Qian filmed a video and uploaded it to Douyin with the title: "Haha, I spent New Year's Eve alone in a hotel, but this fireworks display was a really unexpected surprise!"
Click to upload.
Just a moment later, he was taken aback when he saw some comments appearing in the comment section.
My new book is titled "I'm a Popular Online Photographer, My Name is Teacher Chen".
