Ch 138: This Drink, To My Colleagues! Are They Even Human Anymore?

But.

Everyone is not a fool either.

The opponent sneered: “Director Gong, Director Gong, saying you are lazy in your administration is mild; I didn’t expect you to be so stupid.”

“What do you mean Jiangsu Zhejiang TV didn’t get a good deal? Are you really ignorant, or are you pretending to be ignorant?”

“Under the wagering agreement, Jiangsu Zhejiang TV does have to give up a lot of profit, but they gained unprecedented reputation.”

“And even if they give up a lot of profit, there’s still meat to eat.”

“If this program were on our station, this year our East Tomato TV might not be unable to challenge the top provincial TV station.”

“Especially since this program has a second season, a third season, a fourth season… even more, this is a gold mine.”

“And it was negated by you in a few words?”

“How come I didn’t realize before that you’re so eloquent? You’re twisting facts and turning right into wrong, Director Gong.”

“Hehe…”

Many people also began to criticize Director Gong.

The person most responsible for this matter is Director Gong; he was specifically in charge of this matter.

He personally pushed Good Voice to Jiangsu Zhejiang TV.

If it weren’t for him, Good Voice would have been on their local station, directly able to compete with Toilet Station.

The station also had a trump card program to rely on.

This was an achievement for everyone.

As a result,

it was given away by this Gong.

Damn.

The angrier the more I think about it.

Even the old station director’s face was grim; he didn’t say a word, smoking one cigarette after another…

Finally, as expected, Director Gong was suspended and investigated.

This is normal; who knows what kind of interest issues Director Gong has with Tianyu Entertainment, including Toilet Station?

Otherwise, why would Director Gong listen to Tianyu Entertainment’s ban on Miracle Media?

Afterward, the old station director waved his hand and sent people to Miracle Media; whether it’s an apology or a gift, cooperation must be reached.

If Good Voice can be brought back, bring it back.

If it can’t be brought back, don’t offend them; there will be opportunities to cooperate on the next program.

Miracle Media’s efforts can’t be a flash in the pan.

…

As time went on.

The program’s viewership share climbed steadily, and the viewership rating also exploded.

It was low at first because the brand effect hadn’t been established yet, and the fans’ loyalty was limited.

But as the program progressed, many fans only then discovered that such big celebrity mentors were also very humorous and interesting.

Everyone also developed ‘feelings’ for the trainees.

Everyone could name them, talk about their experiences, and even dig up their history.

Good Voice also became Good Story.

Everyone’s background was tragic.

If it weren’t for this program, many people would have gone to bars to sing, gone to overpasses to sing, or gone to work.

In short, all the trainees were ordinary people; there’s a word called empathy.

…

After half of the program aired.

The theme song came out—Burning Me!

The four mentors and all the current trainees sang together; the feeling was, in one word, amazing.

Another wave of popularity.

Just this theme song; if given to Super Girl, most of them couldn’t sing it; only a few could.

But on Good Voice, each had their own characteristics.

People are afraid of comparison.

With a comparison, all confidence is gone.

Not only the singers’ strength, other data also crushed the level.

After entering the mentor assessment stage, the occasional live stream numbers exceeded two million…

The online search volume of each episode hit new highs.

Including various forums and online forums, topic posts started with ten million!

The popularity was so crazy that everyone in the entertainment industry was numb.

Such a monster is hard to even criticize.

Even if some so-called ‘industry’ insiders came out to criticize, there were very few points to criticize.

Can you criticize the mentors?

Can you criticize the stage design?

Can you criticize the band?

Which of these isn’t top-level in the industry?

The only thing that can be criticized are the trainees.

But…

No one paid attention at all; Young Master Cao didn’t even need to take action; these people were counter-attacked by the fans.

…

Young Master Cao has been very honest recently.

He is basically not seen firing shots online.

This was the first time he felt the power of the masses.

He previously created a ‘Jiangbei Citizens’ in Sanjiang, but the scope was too small; it was enough for the early Cao Cheng.

But now Young Master Cao’s appetite has grown; Jiangbei Citizens can’t satisfy his needs.

Fortunately, this Good Voice did not disappoint Young Master Cao.

The huge number of fans, countless positive emotions stacking up layer by layer every day.

If he hadn’t upgraded his storage space twice, many of the things he had drawn out wouldn’t have fit.

The storage space was initially 1000 square meters, that is, 10 meters in length, width, and height.

Later, he drew two upgrade cards from the Diamond Chest.

Doubled.

The length, width, and height are now 40 meters each, totaling 64000 cubic meters.

Barely enough to put things in.

Some garbage was directly thrown away, such as green mint gum, without even looking…

…

It was precisely because of the crazy emotions brought by the number of fans that Cao Cheng was extra attentive to the program, paying attention almost every day.

But he was also lazy, so he was too lazy to participate; he just sat at home drinking tea, feeling the emotions rise.

Enjoying life is still the most important thing.

However,

this income gave Cao Cheng more confidence in future games.

The program is only once a year; each time it’s collected during the broadcast; the popularity isn’t that great at other times.

But games are different.

They can be collected all the time.

And during international competitions, more is collected.

Ding-ling-ling—

The phone rang.

Cao Cheng’s phone ringtone was set to the most ordinary one; he no longer used the once popular songs; this is called returning to simplicity.

One word: Elegant!

“Hello.”

“Good, good, good…”

“Sister Ali, share this news with all our… good friends in the industry!”

Cao Cheng sat up straight.

…

Two days later.

A piece of news shocked the domestic entertainment industry.

Miracle Media issued an announcement: “Our company has signed model sales agreements with American L Company, Henan T Company, Canadian M Company… authorizing three entertainment companies to produce the international version of Good Voice… The-Voice-Global.”

In short.

It’s just one sentence.

The copyright of Good Voice has been sold, and three countries at once.

This is a reflection of soft power.

It’s also the first time for domestic entertainment, the first program to be reversely exported.

Especially in this era, it directly blew up the domestic entertainment industry.

Even the official media directly participated, highly praising Good Voice, highly recognizing Miracle Media, highly affirming Young Master Cao personally, highly concerned about domestic entertainment, and highly expecting other entertainment agencies…

“…”

Other companies were also numb.

Bro, don’t expect it; we can’t sell it.

We want to buy some back, otherwise we can’t beat Miracle Media.

If you say that, should we still buy it or not?

This one, in the end, was still obtained by Young Master Cao.

Just as Young Master Cao said: enhance national confidence, change the national image, publicize the motherland… This is the mission of entertainment people.

It can’t just be entertainment!

The vision must be long-term, reaching for the stars and seas.

This matter was spread by those who set the rhythm; the fans only then learned that Young Master Cao was so benevolent.

“That’s right, only my husband, Cao Cheng, has this kind of heart, to be able to produce such a good program.”

“He’s my husband, you’re a mistress.”

“As expected of the program I like, my vision is really good; I knew this program was top-tier from the first episode; it seems there are many smart people abroad too.”

“Compared to this, what is Super Girl?”

“Still insulting it? This is incomparable, okay? Don’t compare; it lowers our standards; we should compare some national-level variety shows.”

“No problem.”

“…”

This matter went viral.

Episode eleven, the viewership rating directly soared to 10.3!

Breaking through 10…

Jiangsu Zhejiang TV directly opened champagne.

Even though because of the wagering agreement, their income was less than 20%, most of it was earned by Miracle Media.

But Jiangsu Zhejiang TV still held a celebration banquet.

They will be cooperating further.

They didn’t earn much from the first wager, but they won’t wager in the future; at most, they will increase the profit sharing.

There’s also the copyright issue.

In short, the station won’t lose; with this favorable wind, everyone’s performance record is exceptionally beautiful.

This is more valuable than any amount of money.

From top to bottom in Jiangsu Zhejiang TV, everyone had smiles they couldn’t suppress.

Other stations were filled with gloom.

The lower-ranked ones didn’t matter; they weren’t affected.

But the higher-ranked ones, such as Zhonghai’s local Tomato TV and Funan Toilet Station, were definitely shrouded in gloom.

Even Super Girl had two accidents; everyone was listless; everyone was out of sorts.

…

Young Master Cao came to the celebration banquet.

He drank together with the high-level officials of the station.

When asked about future cooperation, Young Master Cao said: “As for the second season, I already have plans; of course, it will still be a cooperation with your station; after all, our cooperation has been so pleasant, right?”

With one sentence, the surrounding high-level officials were overjoyed.

“After all, this is Miracle Media’s first cooperating station; it’s considered half family; you’re good, I’m good, everyone’s good.”

“So, unless something unexpected happens, Good Voice’s future will be in Jiangsu Zhejiang.”

“But…”

The tone changed.

“We need to discuss the profit sharing.”

The high-level officials nodded.

The station director smiled: “Of course, we can’t let Mr. Cao suffer a loss.”

Cao Cheng smiled and shook his head: “I don’t really care about money; as you know, I still have a little bit of net worth.”

With one sentence, everyone looked at him enviously and cooperated by smiling and flattering.

Cao Cheng held his wine glass and said: “Our program is production and broadcasting separation; your station can’t interfere; I’m afraid that in the future, someone will have ideas and want to interfere; this may destroy our cooperation.”

“No, no, the contract is signed; it’s production and broadcasting separation; we won’t interfere with your company’s operation and production; at most, we’ll send some photographers and directors to learn, to steal some skills!” the station director laughed.

Cao Cheng laughed: “Director Li, you’re too humorous.”

Then he continued: “Let’s be upfront; many things cause internal conflict after making money; I don’t want this to happen; I hope the leaders can understand my painstaking efforts; this program is an achievement for you, a reputation for me, and good for everyone.”

“So, we should be open and honest and work together to maintain this program instead of having any ulterior motives for profit…”

Cao Cheng’s warning was indeed effective.

Afterward, Jiangsu Zhejiang TV held an internal meeting about Good Voice; the station director gave a strict order; don’t offend them; put away any ulterior motives.

A message also spread.

During the celebration banquet at the station, Cao Cheng humbly gave a speech about the program breaking 10%.

The whole speech meant one thing.

“The popularity of this program is due to the efforts of all employees of Miracle Media; we knew the program would be good, but we didn’t expect it to be so popular.”

“What does this mean?”

“It doesn’t mean we’re that great; it only means… it’s all thanks to the foil of our colleagues.”

“This toast, to our colleagues!”

“…”

This is too much.

As soon as the news came out, many people were furious.
