Chapter 207
Looking at the current numbers, unable to contain their excitement, the staff called the producer and director.
"Director, it\'s in the bag!" The 50 million views milestone was definitely secure.
Just one hour after going live, they had already exceeded 5 million views.
This terrifying speed was on par with even S-class variety shows.
The director and producer were overjoyed. Indeed, opportunity favors the prepared.
Apple TV had always demanded innovation.
Previously, the team had meticulously planned 4-5 shows, all of which were passed on.
With no other options, they decided to rehash the idea of bringing children onto variety shows.
It happened to coincide with He Lingfeng\'s viral fame as a child prodigy.
So they found him.
Who would have thought, they found one that came with two financial backers.
Suddenly, they had both money and buzz.
For the director and producer, this was a windfall of traffic.
The director also got excited, demanding that they stay on top of the trending topics.
Stirring up more hype, this show might just explode in popularity.
After all, bringing children on variety shows had an existing audience base.
Additionally, the director requested the operations team to search through the live stream chat and online discussions, recording all the topics.
The director wasn\'t quite clear on the grudges and entanglements between Shen Wei and the others.
But it seemed rather intriguing.
They wanted to tease out more details through the netizens\' comments.
This would give everyone a direction for promotion.
Everyone was gearing up, and the director couldn\'t help telling his staff to make sure they get the renewal contracts signed.
When they came, they only signed for one episode.
They weren\'t sure how this pilot would turn out.
Unexpectedly, the results were fantastic.
They needed to finalize the contracts before the guests realized what was happening.
The signs of this child-centric variety show becoming a hit were evident.
Not only could they see it.
Their competitors at Apple TV could see it too.
Although they were usually at odds, when faced with others\' success, they would still offer insincere congratulations.
The producer had received no less than thirty or forty congratulatory messages just this morning.
The show indeed lived up to expectations, with viewership soaring.
Fans in the live chat couldn\'t help but joke: "Although I\'ve never been to Starry Sky Kindergarten, I\'ve been following them for over half a year. It feels like watching acquaintances on a variety show. Why does it feel both cringy and watchable?"
"I always thought there was a barrier between internet celebrities and mainstream media. Now that they\'re on an Apple TV show, it feels a bit surreal."
"But when Lin Rui brought out those three suitcases of clothes, I really laughed out loud. This must be what they mean by the undefeated Chinese woman."
"As long as she outshines everyone else."
"By the way, did anyone see the moment she opened the suitcase? A fashion industry friend next to me let out a sharp squeal. Her personal taste is excellent, with many pieces from niche clothing brands."
"I\'ve already started searching for similar items. Those vibrant clothes that flashed by earlier are exactly my style, but I couldn\'t get a clear look."
"I\'m so excited to see what outfits she\'ll wear next."
"Shen Qingqing\'s expression earlier nearly killed me with laughter. \'What to do when your love rival is prettier than you?\'"
"I can answer that question. Once, I was taking out the trash, looking like a mess, when I ran into my ex-boyfriend with his new girlfriend. In that moment, I really wanted to die."
"I was just planning to watch casually, but it turned out to be quite entertaining. Unscripted shows with ordinary people are indeed more fun. Nobody hides their true colors. There are already memes of Shen Qingqing\'s jealous expression."
"But I want the meme of Lin Rui rolling her eyes, with the caption: \'Being beautiful is enough.\'"
"Big sis is truly the main character. I want to buy her photo cards, her cotton dolls, I want to spend money on her."
"Feels like we\'ll have some digital pickled vegetables for a while."
"I\'m a new fan, want to start from the beginning. Can someone guide me on where to start? Should I start from the live stream or somewhere else?"
"For new fans, I recommend following the \'That Starry Sky\' account. The account owner is a long-time fan of the kindergarten. They have many interesting cuts and compilations. You must watch the segment on Starry Sky Kindergarten\'s recruitment and the dance teacher\'s performance. Starry Sky Kindergarten is an absolute treasure trove, their teaching staff is incredibly strong, each one a top performer in their field. To make adults cry out, \'I want to go to kindergarten!\' - that\'s quite an achievement for Starry Sky Kindergarten."
"The person above said so much in one go, must be a true fan."
"Isn\'t anyone paying attention to Best Actor Song and Superstar Zhou?"
"Best Actor Song\'s daughter is such a cutie with an eye for beauty, and as for Superstar Zhou, forget about being his biological child, I\'d believe it if you said he gave birth to him himself."
"Seeing Superstar Zhou\'s son, I finally understand why in those CEO novels, when the female lead returns to the country with a genius baby, the male lead recognizes them at a glance. Who wouldn\'t recognize this? It\'s like the DNA sequence is written on his face."
"I bet a spicy strip: this show will definitely be a hit."
"Isn\'t that obvious? Your bet is too small. I bet a whole pack of spicy strips that this show will definitely reach the Top 1 this month."
"Sister, you\'re too confident."
The netizens were chattering away, and the comment section was quite harmonious.
Although everyone was shocked by the thought processes of these ordinary people from Starry Sky Kindergarten.
It was a bit scene-stealing.
They had taken some of the spotlight away from Best Actor Song and Little Superstar Zhou.
But Best Actor Song\'s fans tended to be older and generally didn\'t control the narrative online.
As for Little Superstar Zhou, now that was interesting.
Since his debut, he had been plagued by scandals.
Coupled with his difficult personality, his fans had become very laid-back.
As long as he wasn\'t being criticized, it was fine.
Losing a bit of attention was no big deal.
Usually, when a new variety show premieres, it\'s a battleground for fans to fight tooth and nail.
But here, everyone was just having fun.
The atmosphere was so friendly that new fans integrated very quickly.
The fan who asked for a catch-up guide an hour ago was now able to educate newer fans.
The old fans were laughing.
A big fan couldn\'t help but say: Investing in this fandom is worth it.
It made people even more curious about what kind of organization Starry Sky Kindergarten really was.
The fans were quite interesting.
For the old fans of Starry Sky Kindergarten, although Shen Wei was forced to bring He Lingfeng and Lin Rui on the show, it felt strangely fitting.
Only through Apple TV\'s high-definition cameras could their stunning beauty be fully captured.
Even He Lingfeng, such an adorable little cutie, was pressured by Lin Rui to get a perm.
One of Lin Rui\'s three suitcases of clothes was specially prepared for He Lingfeng.
The fire burning in her eyes made the other mothers laugh with delight.
They were all too familiar with that look.
Under their styling, no one could win. A child\'s fashion sense was a mother\'s battleground.
Lin Rui had money and good taste herself. She took this show very seriously.
Three large suitcases of clothes, a year\'s worth of cultivation, excellent fashion sense. Of the three suitcases, one was for Shen Wei, one for He Lingfeng, and the remaining one for herself.
Everything was planned out meticulously.
