I Know Everything - Chapter 423
Chapter 423: Popular Across Asia.
Shanhai Streaming had a powerful advertising force.
Hype was created on the net before ‘Meteor Girls’ Restaurant finished airing.
Needless to say that ‘I Don’t Wanna Grow Up’ was put on the three major music websites for sales the moment it finished.
All kinds of tidbits about the show and pictures appeared on Weibo and forums.
Meteor Girls was a very popular girl band with a large group of fans to begin with.
Those fans were young and liked to communicate on the internet so a hot topic began.
Such as the appearance of Su Mo and Zhou Songjie cutting her finger, it all became trending.
The highest number of views was 19 million and the average was 17 million, which was a perfect representation.
Those unscrupulous big bloggers on Weibo also began to run their mouths.
“The most stunning variety show this winter!”
“’Meteor Girls’ Restaurant’, a variety show that would subvert everyone’s expectation!”
“Variety shows big bros, a strong competitor is here, are you afraid?”
“The Emperor Su Mo shows his full support to the variety show planned by Sister Xiaofeng as the first episode is already a huge success, it’s already a strong contender!”
“What did the ‘Meteor Girls’ Restaurant’ tell us? What exactly is needed for an explosive variety show?”
“Meteor Girls ushered in their own era! With a great variety show, they are bound to attract more fans!”
“…”
It wasn’t just headlines as people also wrote hundreds of word articles.
Chen Huan was amazed by it as Shanhai Streaming was sure willing to spend big money!
When Shanhai Streaming was being established, their spending wasn’t small otherwise how could they catch up to Youyi so fast in a few years?
By now, everyone knew that even if Shanhai Streaming couldn’t surpass Youyi, the two would at least go side by side.
So the shareholders wouldn’t say anything even if Shanhai Streaming spent more money.
That money was equivalent to increasing their stock valuation and was nothing much.
Chen Huan heard the same praise the next day.
But it wasn’t influenced by Shanhai Streaming as many people who liked to watch variety shows or some people industries all praised ‘Meteor Girls’ Restaurant’.
Other food variety shows such as ‘Happy China Tour’ produced by Zhejiang TV, where Chen Huan was located, also received good ratings.
However, their type was that they would explore all kinds of food and learn the history behind it, then it was the end after they showed their appreciation.
‘Meteor Girls’ Restaurant’ was different as it not only had the good points of that ‘Happy China Tour’ but also used a group of cute girls to learn and explore the dishes.
After doing that, they could apply what they had learned and entertain the guest they received in the studio.
They all had fun and the audience could also see their progress in cooking.
The celebrities seemed always to be on pedestal.
For example, when celebrities came out and cooked, they already knew how to cook and mostly came out to show off.
Either way, the finished product looked very good and definitely tasted good, at least that was what the audience saw.
But ‘Meteor Girls’ Restaurant’ was different as the Zhajiangmian and Pease Pudding in the first episode was so horrible that even Su Mo had to complain a bit.
It gave a down to earth feeling.
It brought the girls close to the ordinary people.
Because they were also very clumsy back at home.
It resonated with them.
This would make them feel that Meteor Girls was one of them.
Their review was naturally high since they liked it.
On the next day, the views of ‘Meteor Girls’ Restaurant’ reached 70 million.
Many of it were replayed but it was undeniable that there were also many new viewers.
The princess really took big actions as she produced Japanese and Korean’s subtitles for the first episode of the show.
After confirming the popularity last night, the two versions were quickly released as soon as possible.
Many of the 70 million views came from Japan and Korea.
It was the internet era and the internet was easily accessible as long as nobody blocked it.
Shanhai Streaming wasn’t only climbing to the top spot in his own country but also abroad.
Shining Technology was also doing the same but the cultural difference as well as the lack of good plans had stunted their development in that regard.
Otherwise, Shining Technology market value would soar to 200 billion USD instead of 120 USD if they took over the Asian Market.
Oh, because the previous smearing campaign they did, they were down to 100 billion USD now.
Compared to the 20 billion USD lost in value, the 100 million Yuan they had to give to Chen Huan was like losing a penny.
Shanhai Streaming was different.
Starting with ‘Love Letter’ and then ‘Miracle in Cell No.7’, they opened the doors to many Asian countries and regions.
In particular ‘Miracle in Cell No.7’ as it had been greatly marketed for several months and let the people all over Asia know that it came from Shanhai Streaming.
So the 100 million dollar USD spent on marketing wasn’t for nothing.
Would the people know about Shanhai Streaming if it wasn’t for all that marketing?
Shanhai Streaming had been constantly pushing out the Meteor Girls abroad so they could get more attention.
They didn’t conquer all Asia from the beginning as it would be good if they could slowly penetrate those markets and start having an influence.
After all, they were all around 17 years old and it wouldn’t be a problem for them to work another ten years.
Based on that plan, Shanhai Streaming also been pushing out ‘Meteor Girls’ Restaurant’.
It seemed that the initial results were quite nice.
Inspired by results like that, the second episode of ‘Meteor Girls’ Restaurant’ had an average of 20 million live viewers with 23 million as the peak, which made them even happier!
At the same time, the number of viewers on the episode the next day had surpassed 100 million viewers and created another record for streaming variety shows.
Among them, the number of overseas IPs had exceeded 40 million, and developed countries such as Japan and South Korea have reached around 17 million.
After seeing that, the people no longer doubted whether Meteor Girls would flourish anymore.
Shanhai Streaming was so lucky.
They had such a poster show.
With the trend, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to reach 50 million live viewers, right?
If that happened, the position of the traditional variety shows would be threatened!
