Chapter 918 Stunning Ratings of the Spring Festival Gala

“What? Did he sing live?”

“Did Fang Qiu sing live?”

“That’s impossible. How could he be so awesome?”

While people were shocked, they quickly accepted it, especially Fang Qiu’s fans. They even followed the blogger’s remark in the comment area. “Fang Qiu is awesome!”

“His singing is so good. Fang Qiu, hurry up and make an album.”

“I remember that the theme song of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor is also sung by Fang Qiu. With these two songs, he can totally release an extended play!”

“What should I do? After listening to Warm Spring with Blooming Flowers, I inexplicably became Fang Qiu’s song fan. But when will Fang Qiu release the next song? I feel it is far away!”

“If Fang Qiu becomes a singer, he will definitely be second to none. He will be famous all over the country, even all over the world!”

Undoubtedly, as Fang Qiu finished his performance at the New Year’s Gala, the number of Fang Qiu’s fans on Weibo increased dramatically. In addition to his initial shock fans, Chinese Medicine fans later on, good-hearted fans, and variety shows fans, Fang Qiu now had another group of fans called song fans!

There were also some people who seemed to be completely immersed in the world created by Fang Qiu’s singing and couldn’t get out of it. After recovering from the amazement for a long time, they immediately began to have all kinds of emotions.

“Love always occurs when flowers are blooming in the warm spring. Life is long. How many times can one fall in love? Even the encounter under the roof can bring emotions rippling through people who are calm. Who will leave unforgettable memories in this poetic season and make a promise so that they can meet in the next warm spring with blooming flowers.”

“Warm spring with blooming flowers. What a beautiful feeling.”

“Love always occurs in the warm spring with blooming flowers! Spring is coming. This is a season filled with affection as well as a season when flowers of all sorts are blooming in a riot of color! I wish all the lovers in the world a happy ending!”

“This song can make people feel warm.”

“First, I fell in love with the lyrics, and then I was fond of the melody. Thank you, Fang Qiu. I really like this song.”

“The power of music is really strong!”

“Fang Qiu’s voice is very distinctive. It’s really beautiful. It’s hard for ordinary people to deliver this kind of feeling.”

“Thank you very much, Fang Qiu, because we will all become the protagonists described in this song!”

Meanwhile, Fang Qiu’s song, Warm Spring with Blooming Flowers, was also released on the Internet as soon as possible and quickly reached the top of various major music lists. Almost half of the people in Huaxia were listening to this song.

In the No.1 studio of the building of Central Television, after the song was finished, Fang Qiu left the stage with the rapturous applause of the audience. Then, led by his assistant, he returned to the dressing room prepared by Director Li Huawen.

“Wonderful! Your performance tonight is spectacular.”

As soon as he entered the room, the assistant immediately applauded excitedly.

“Thank you,” Fang Qiu thanked her and then asked curiously, “can I leave now?”

Hearing this, the assistant immediately said, “No, you have to go on stage together later.”

“Alright.” Knowing that he couldn’t leave, Fang Qiu gave a wry smile helplessly. He could only take out his phone and hurriedly call his family.

“Qiu’s call. It’s Fang Qiu’s call.”

Fang Qiu’s mother, who had received the phone call at home, immediately waved her mobile phone and shouted, motioning for everyone not to make noise. Then she immediately picked up the phone and put it on speaker.

“Hello, Fang Qiu?” The phone was connected.

Fang Qiu said, “Mom, Happy New Year. All our relatives, Happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year!”

“It’s so nice of Fang Qiu to remember us!”

“Qiu, you sang so well that you brought us honor!”

“You’ve just left the stage, haven’t you? Congratulations on performing perfectly on the stage of the New Year’s Gala!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of celebratory congratulations from the other end of the phone.

“You are paying me so much compliment that I feel embarrassed,” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and said, “go to bed early, everyone. I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, be careful.” Fang Qiu’s mother reminded him.

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded with understanding and hung up the phone.

After counting down, the New Year’s Gala gradually came to an end.

As a celebrated patriotic singer sang a song called Unforgettable Tonight, the New Year’s Gala officially ended.

At the invitation of the hosts, all performers went on stage and ended the New Year’s Gala.

In the background music of Unforgettable Tonight, all the performers and singers who had participated in the New Year’s Gala came on stage. In addition to some stars that everyone was familiar with, there were also many assistant performers who had taken part in several programs at the same time.

Everyone gathered together.

At first, Fang Qiu was invited to the center of the stage by the host to say a few words, such as wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Then, when the assistant performers came to the stage, Fang Qiu immediately gave up his original position and stood on the side of the stage, leading the actors to the center of the stage one after another.

Seeing this, all the audience present spontaneously applauded Fang Qiu.

In front of the TV and computers, all the audience also praised Fang Qiu’s behavior.

“With competence and modesty, this is what an excellent idol should look like!”

“In fact, assistant performers are the most important role of the New Year’s Gala. In addition to large shows, you don’t know how many small shows they have participated in at the same time. They worked much harder than the glamorous protagonists on the stage.”

“I can see Fang Qiu’s respect for these assistant performers from his eyes. You can see one’s nature through the eyes. Fang Qiu didn’t pretend on purpose, but showed heartfelt respect.”

“What a good person!”

As everyone got on the stage, Fang Qiu retreated to a corner of the stage.

After the hosts’ ending speech, the New Year’s Gala officially ended.

Everyone knew that Fang Qiu’s popularity undoubtedly rose to a higher level after this New Year’s Gala. Now, Fang Qiu’s fame almost reached that of an A-list star!

After the New Year’s Gala, Fang Qiu returned to the dressing room backstage.

At this time, the backstage area was empty. Everyone was rushing home to spend the Spring Festival with their family. Most of the people whose family was in the capital didn’t even remove their makeup. People whose family was not in the capital had asked their parents to come so that they could have a reunion dinner together.

As for Fang Qiu, both his home and his parents weren’t in the capital. He could only find a place to rest for a night and wait to go home tomorrow morning.

“Crack!” The moment Fang Qiu returned to the dressing room, the sound of the door opening was heard.

He turned his head to have a look.

It was Director Li Huawen.

“Thank you, thank you!” As soon as Director Li Huawen arrived, he immediately held Fang Qiu’s hand and said, “You know, in the whole gala, I’m most worried about your show. Your performance this time is perfect. It’s so perfect that I can’t believe it. You performed the grand finale very well.”

“That’s what I should do.” Fang Qiu quickly said with a modest smile, “I’m also a part of the New Year’s Gala. Since I took part in it, I should show the best state and present the most perfect performance to people all over the country.”

“Well said!” Director Li Huawen immediately cheered and said, “The New Year’s Gala completed perfectly. It’s time to test us.”

“Hmm?” Fang Qiu was confused.

“The ratings!” Director Li Huawen took a deep breath and then said nervously, “No matter how great this New Year’s Gala is and how perfect your performance is, only the ratings can judge the show’s quality.”

Fang Qiu didn’t take it seriously.

After all, it was just a show, but he could clearly see that Director Li Huawen was truly nervous. After all, he was the chief director of the New Year’s Gala. No one could be more anxious than him.

Director Li Huawen said, “There are still a lot of people working overtime. The whole crew and all the directors don’t dare to leave. Everyone is waiting outside. I am also too nervous, so I came here to wait. I don’t want everyone to get more nervous because of me.”

It was true.

Outside, none of the staff of the show left.

Everyone was waiting for the final result.

Before he came to Fang Qiu’s room, Director Li Huawen called to inquire about it and learned that the statistics were being tallied up. There was still some time before the ratings came out.

“Do you think the ratings can reach the same level as before?”

“I remember that the average ratings of the previous years were about 30%. Each year, the ratings would be lower than the last year. Although the quality of the programs and the effect of the stage were splendid this year, it was not so easy to reach the ratings of the previous years.”

“I think it should be able to reach it. 30% is not too much. After all, everyone is used to watching the New Year’s Gala on Lunar New Year’s Eve, but it’s really difficult to reach further!”

People started to discuss online.

“Is the ratings out?”

“It should take a while, right?”

“It’s the first day of the Lunar New Year. Why are you still waiting for the ratings? Go to sleep and see it tomorrow!”

“This New Year’s Gala is not so good, especially the song on the finale. It’s not good at all. I really don’t know why you guys are boasting about it!”

“There’s something wrong with the ear of the upper comment!”

“I’m afraid the ratings of the New Year’s Gala this year will plunge seriously!”

On the Internet, a lot of people were talking about it.

Of course, most of them were Fang Qiu’s fans. They all felt that Fang Qiu’s performance at the New Year’s Gala was particularly incredible, so they wanted to see what the final ratings were. They were all eager to know if Fang Qiu could make a major difference in this New Year’s Gala!

Meanwhile, all the staff of Central Television was waiting anxiously.

The media were also waiting anxiously because this was the first news article of the New Year, and they had to seize the first spotlight of the New Year!

Because it was the New Year’s Gala, the statistician of the ratings did not dare to be sloppy but worked attentively.

Even so, it took them nearly an hour to finally tally up.

“Pitter-patter…” At one o’clock in the evening, there was a sudden sound of people running.

“Crack!” The door of the dressing room was pushed open. A staff member who was in charge of contacting the statisticians of the ratings ran in and said, “It’s out. The ratings of the New Year’s Gala came out!”

As he said that, all the staff who had been waiting outside the dressing room rushed over.

Director Li Huawen suddenly stood up in the room.

Director Li Huawen asked nervously, “How is it?”

“How much?”

“Is it as high as the previous years?”

“Say it quickly!”

People started to urge.

“Just now, they told me…” The staff member panted heavily and said with a glint in his eyes, “The average ratings are 38.62%!”

Everyone heard that.

“38?”

“Really?”

“It’s almost 39.”

“This is a tie with the previous years.”

The staff member nodded and said, “The person who tallied the ratings told me that this figure could be regarded as a high level in the New Year’s Gala among the years, but it didn’t reach the top yet.”

Everyone nodded in understanding as they heard that.

They all knew that in recent years, the ratings of the New Year’s Gala had been declining every year. This year, instead of decreasing, the ratings rose, which proved that had done a good job.

“It’s good that it’s a tie.” Director Li Huawen breathed a sigh of relief. At least, he didn’t lose face.

“What about the other things?” asked a staff member.

Director Li Huawen also immediately asked, “That’s right. What’re the highest ratings?”

“The highest ratings!” The staff member turned to look at Fang Qiu, took a deep breath, and said, “The show Fang Qiu performed reached the highest ratings, 60%, which is even higher than that of the countdown at midnight!”

“What?” The crowd exclaimed.

“Oh my god. 60%?”

“Are you kidding?”

“Is, is this true? 60%. 60% of the people across the country are watching Fang Qiu’s performance?”

“What the f*ck. If there are really such ratings, then Fang Qiu is really marvelous!”

Even Director Li Huawen was completely shocked, not to mention the staff.

What did this number represent?

This meant that Fang Qiu had increased more than 20% ratings of the gala by himself!

It was simply terrifying!

How could they not be astonished?

“This… This…” Director Li Huawen turned around excitedly and held Fang Qiu’s hand tightly.

Fang Qiu was confused.

He didn’t know what the ratings represented at all.

If he used it in other places, such as the correct rate of the exam, it would be too ordinary and there was nothing to be proud of.

But when he saw the excitement on the faces of Director Li Huawen and the staff, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but think, “I seem to be quite awesome.”

“Are, are you sure?” Asked a staff member hurriedly.

“Yes!” The staff member who reported the ratings nodded affirmatively and said, “I didn’t believe it when I first heard it, so I asked several times to confirm it again and again. These ratings are true. There is absolutely no mistake!”

Hearing that, everyone looked at Fang Qiu with excitement, as if they were bulls that were about to go wild. They immediately rushed over, carried Fang Qiu, and threw him into the sky.

Director Li Huawen was also ecstatic.

When the celebration was over, Fang Qiu was put down by everyone. Director Li Huawen immediately grabbed Fang Qiu and said with an excited but serious face, “Fang Qiu, I now officially invite you to the Lantern Festival Gala…”

“Don’t!” Before Director Li Huawen could finish, Fang Qiu quickly shook his head and waved his hand, saying, “Director Li, please spare me.”

Director Li Huawen laughed and said, “It’s none of my business. Even if I agree, I don’t think the audience will agree!”

Fang Qiu smiled wryly.
