When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First - Chapter 388

388 Successful Second Episode, New Director Acknowledging A Master
Yang Tianzhen followed his advice and turned off his phone to enjoy life.

He thought that since Luo Feng had arranged for him to rest, he must be hoping that he would be in a better state to welcome new work. Since his boss was so concerned about his employees, Yang Tianzhen did not want to let him down.

Therefore, the hand that turned off the phone was not straightforward.

On Luo Feng’s side, the rehearsal for the second stage was in full swing. This was also to make the employees feel more at ease and more suitable for Luo Feng’s work rhythm.

On the day of the program’s broadcast.

Every family’s television changed to Shanghai TV Station on time. Many young people finished their work early and had dinner to ensure that they could concentrate on watching the show.

The highly anticipated program began on time. 50 contestants dressed neatly and appeared on stage!

The elimination began!

The filming atmosphere was very tense.

Hua You was an ordinary caster. Before coming to ‘Idol Cultivation’, she had been living in a small variety show. How lousy was that variety show? It was so lousy that Hua You, who was a staff member, could not remember the name.

“Idol Cultivation” was the first and largest variety show she had participated in.

Especially when she found out that the first episode of the show was highly praised, Hua You pinched herself hard. The real pain told her that everything she saw was reality!

If the show could continue to become popular, Hua You would have something good to write in the resume! Everything would be smoother, be it was finding a job or negotiating a salary.

Until that crooked director appeared and shattered Hua You’s dream.

The boss fired the executive director and became the executive director himself.

Hua You felt that she was dreaming again. Moreover, the boss’s command would come from the earpiece from time to time. “All departments, get ready. Filming begins. Participants, enter the venue!”

Her eyes were locked on the stage as she watched the contestants offer their youthful and invincible team dance. Then, the emcee went on stage to go through the process. Everything was like a television drama playing in front of Hua You’s eyes, and her mind had long drifted to other things.

There were seven or eight casters standing beside Hua You. Like her, they were focused on the display screen, ready to save the situation at any time.

Even though the employee regulations prohibit people from playing with their phones during work, everyone split their attention between being ready to save the situation and calling someone to save the situation.

This was because it was the boss’s first time being a director. It was too shocking. Furthermore, after Luo Feng took office, he had changed drastically in all aspects.

Originally, they wanted to follow the style of the first episode, but Luo Feng insisted on changing the background music and filming angles. Even the way the competition appeared had changed to determination by drawing lots.

The employees were still very nervous even though it had indeed greatly increased the viewing pleasure.

“We’ve already rehearsed, but I still can’t calm down.”

“Me too. The first team out. Sound technician, stat. Rhythm 1, 2…” The other casters began to control the situation.

Hua You watched all of this silently. She did not speak, but her nervous palms were covered in sweat. She kept praying that this episode would be successfully recorded.

At the same time, some of the audience watching the show were enthusiasts of various variety shows. They acutely sensed that the show’s style was different, as if there was an additional sense of nervousness!

“Does anyone feel that the competition format has become more attractive?”

“Really? I thought I was the only one who felt this way.”

“That’s right. And the pace is tighter than the first episode.”

“The director’s skills are not bad. He can even produce such an effect on a live broadcast.”

As the show progressed, praise began to appear on the Internet. No one realized that this was actually the work of a new director.

Kou Zhiyuan didn’t forget to find someone to lead the show on. Before the show started, he found someone to crazily create popularity for ‘Idol Cultivation’ in order to increase the audience’s expectations.

After the broadcast, he immediately found someone to slander and point out the various shortcomings in the show.

However, the audience was busy watching the show. As the rhythm was too tight, many viewers were afraid of missing the exciting scenes. They put down their phones and watched very intently.

They would only discuss it with everyone during the advertisement.

The shortcomings that Kou Zhiyuan found were more like picking a rock from an egg to find faults. Therefore, no one cared and the stone sank into the sea.
That night, the viewership ratings of “Idol Cultivation” exceeded three!

One had to know that “I Want to Sing”‘s viewership ratings was 1.6, and it could be evaluated as the television station’s best annual variety show. Its popularity had already reached the national level.

However, “Idol Cultivation” directly broke three, almost twice as high as the previous national variety show!

High viewership ratings meant that there were many people watching. The value of the various advertisements that appeared in the show was also higher. Even some of the inlaid advertising products were noticed by the public.

The number of searches for related products on Amazon had been rising during the broadcast of the show, and the number of transactions had also been rising. Not to mention the products with enough cameras.

A new banner immediately hung up in the live-stream rooms of the various products—Idol Cultivation had designated a sponsor.

The streamers didn’t need to introduce their products. The various introductions they had memorized were also a little boring. They said, “Our products appeared in ‘Idol Cultivation’!”

Orders floated down like snowflakes! This shopping scene could be said to be overflowing with life!

All the advertisements were also fighting to repost the content related to ‘Idol Cultivation’, trying to let the world know about this partnership!

Soon, the two-hour show ended. The top 40 of the 50 for “Idol Cultivation” ended perfectly. Zhu Bai and Ah Shuang both advanced and received more attention!

All the staff heaved a sigh of relief, but the shopping war online was not over yet!

However, this was already a matter for the future.

Luo Feng sat in the main control room and took a sip of cold tea. “It’s over. It wasn’t easy.”

Being a director was really a hard profession. He had to take care of almost everything.

After working hard to direct a show, Luo Feng felt that half of his brain cells had died. He could not help but suspect if his original intention was really to live off a woman with a clear conscience. Why was he working so hard again?

“That’s right! I’m doing this so that I can be a freeloader in the future. It’s all for the future,” Luo Feng muttered and immediately took out his phone to call Yang Tianzhen.

As soon as the call connected, an uncontrollable excited cry came from the other end. “Boss! Your show is too exciting!”

Yang Tianzhen shouted as loudly as the amount of doubts he had felt over the past few days.

He really did not expect Luo Feng to be so talented in directing! He was almost at the level of a professional Director! From the perspective of people in the industry, they really could not believe that this was a newbie’s work.

Luo Feng was not in the mood to talk about this. He only wanted to be free as soon as possible. “By the way, didn’t you say that you had found a replacement director? Can he come to work tomorrow?”

The excited voices on the other end quietened down.

After a moment of silence, Yang Tianzhen was caught between laughter and tears. “Boss, the new director said that your directorship is too good. He is afraid that he isn’t capable enough, so he rejected it…”
