I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 184 Top Stream (33)

CCTV Lantern Festival Gala had a high viewership rating…

Even with competition from several major TV stations, it still stands out and remains stable at more than 5%!

Mango TV started hosting the Lantern Festival Gala in 09, and it was originally called the Lantern Festival Gala…

Then Dragon TV, Beijing TV, Jiangsu TV and other first-tier TV stations followed suit...

Although this has dispersed CCTV's ratings, CCTV's basic base is still there.

If we only look at the ratings, except for Mango TV, the performance of all other satellite TV Lantern Festival Galas is not up to standard - this year's Lantern Festival Gala ratings of several major TV stations combined barely tied with Mango TV.

Of course, there is still a gap with CCTV.

However, it was unexpected that "Wujiapo 2018" won the highest ratings...

You should know that the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala's "Wanjiang" can only be considered relatively stable. After that, "Wanjiang" also lost to "Sui Yue" in the "My Favorite Spring Festival Gala Singing Program"...

There is only one explanation, "Wujiapo 2018" itself is very attractive!
The subsequent evaluation also proved this point - popular comments on Weibo:
"This song satisfies all my imaginations about the second adaptation of opera and the combination of opera and pop music. It can be said that since I started learning opera, I have been thinking about one day being able to truly combine opera and pop music, in a way that suits modern young people and that they can listen to and understand carefully. I have already added it to my single loop and can't listen to it enough. The two versions have completely different listening experiences and are both great."

"The young man has grown old, and the pretty lady has gray hair. The third sister does not believe the lotus flower photo, her face is no longer the same as it was in front of the colorful building..."

"You thought the opera on the record player was only grandpa's favorite, but later you listened to "Wujia Po" in your headphones and said it was beautiful. You call this innovation, but in fact, it's all the same. What is fascinating is the root of culture. Grandpa left with the record player, and you crossed the river to the next era listening to the songs. The river is surging, one end is the ancient and the other end is the present. People change every year, but the river is still as mighty. This might is culture."

Well, "Wujiapo 2018" became popular, and CCTV and Xinhua News Agency gave it special reports...

For Shen Liang, the most direct manifestation was that a bunch of media and reporters interviewed him after he got off the plane...

He came to Changsha to record the fifth episode of "Singer".

I have to stay for two days and record "Happy Camp" to promote the movie "Time Travel"...

“Why did the Hatsune Miku production team add to the arrangement of “Wujiapo 2018”?”

"Because the initial inspiration for the adaptation came from Hatsune Miku's song "イキたいの"... Even though I adapted it a little later, the rhythm was still similar to "イキたいの"... So I simply contacted the author and bought the adaptation rights..."

"Did you ever think it would be so hot?"

"…Of course I have thought about it. The Red Mane Fiery Horse is a popular opera. Wujia Po is often used on TV programs… The melody is very catchy, the canon tune… plus the promotion of CCTV stage…"

"So what do you think about many people calling you the new top star?"

Shen Liang was stunned for a moment: "What is this?"

“The new top stream…”

Shen Liang was speechless: "I just sang a song called "Wujiapo 2018" and collaborated with Li Qin. How come I became a top star? Top stars are too worthless!"

"So what do you think is top stream?"

“…I think first of all it has to be national popularity. The public recognition is very high. Maybe the online data is not very good, but as long as a new work is released, the attention will be overwhelming…”

"Can you give me some examples?"

"Jason Chou, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan..."

The reporter shook his head politely: "They don't count, do they?"

Shen Liang frowned: "Who do you want me to talk about? They are the top stars in my mind!"

"That…"

"Stop!" Shen Liang interrupted him directly: "Don't you have any questions about "Singer"? I got second place in the last episode, and "Walking Fish" is very nice..."

“…Are you confident that you can defeat Jessie J this time?”

“…Change the question…”

"Are you dating Li Qin?"

"What do you think? Does singing a duet with someone count as dating?"...

After being pestered by reporters for more than ten minutes, Shen Liang's attitude was quite good. He answered all the questions... He did not dodge the important questions at all...

Since Shen Liang's debut, he has always been popular with the media and he never avoids "sensitive issues"!
He just rarely accepts interviews - he answers most questions directly in the live broadcast room.

"Hey, Mr. Long, you are here in person?"

Arriving at the hotel, Shen Liangcai packed his luggage when someone knocked on the door... It was Long Danny, followed by Ma Hao...

Shen Liang was surprised!
"…Are you sure you can take first place in this episode of Singer?"

Long Danny didn't waste any words and got straight to the point...

"It's not accurate to say I'm not sure. To be precise... I'm not sure at all!"

Ma Hao was speechless: "… Stop playing with your nonsense literature. Are you going to sing an original song this time?"

"Well, a rock song... Jingwei!"

Hearing this, Long Danny turned to Ma Hao and said, "...it's too difficult for an original work to get first place."

"…Is it possible to change the song? Do you have a backup?"

Shen Liang nodded: "There is an alternative... Caodong doesn't have the party's "Mountains and Seas"... But this song is not very well-known... Also, why must it take first place this time?"

Ma Hao said: "This episode will be broadcast on March 3th, which happens to be the second day of your movie's release. It will have a great promotional effect!"

Long Danny said: "If you are not sure, we will contact the production team!"

Shen Liang frowned: "Through the back door? Playing insider tricks?"

Ma Hao explained: “…Not really. We asked Hong Tao for his opinion. Jessie J has won four consecutive championships…which has affected the fairness of the show!”

"How can it affect fairness if someone gets first place based on their own ability?"

Long Danny replied: "It affects the show's watchability. She always takes first place in every episode..."

"I still want to rely on my strength..."

"Of course we know your strength, otherwise, we wouldn't have come here specially..."

Shen Liang was silent for a while, then said: "...In fact, we have a complete promotion plan for the film, so there is no need..."

"…You are now the number one person in our company…Do you understand the weight of this?"

Shen Liang suddenly lost interest: "...Okay, okay, I understand, you guys can do whatever you want..."

Ma Hao warned: "...Don't be careless. Even if Jessie J can't win the championship this time, it doesn't mean you can win first place. Wang Feng, Zhou Shen, and Phoenix Legend are all talented!"

Shen Liang was surprised: "Isn't it through the back door?"

"…Our influence is not that great…" As he spoke, Long Danny answered a phone call and walked away, while Ma Hao stared at Shen Liang…

Shen Liang felt a little uneasy. Was she going to ask about Li Qin too?
It’s really just an artistic exchange!

Shen Liang gritted his teeth and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I just find it amazing that you've become a top star in just half a year!" Ma Hao smiled and asked, "Did Wang Han contact you?"

"…No, what happened to him?"

"I heard that he started a new show called Wild Kitchen and is looking for an assistant MC. Given your relationship with him, he should look for you."

Shen Liang hesitated: "…I don’t have time to accept regular guests for the time being…"Do You Know?" hasn’t finished filming yet, and "Celebrating More Than Years" is about to start filming…"

Ma Hao nodded: "...I don't want you to be tied to him either. How about this, if he asks you out, just answer like this...You can be a guest for one episode, but forget about being a regular!"
