Divine Lucky Star-Chapter 265 - Broke the Record

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Broke the Record!

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Broke the Record!

Everyone gasped deeply.

The ratings didn’t just stabilize, they were actually skyrocketing! Holy cow! How is that even possible?! To so effortlessly break through the 3% barrier and start heading towards 4%?!

That’s 4%!

One of the highest acknowledged rating steps within the industry!

In the Heavenly People’s Republic, for any show, ratings below 4% and above 4% are absolutely two different concepts!

“Damn! Why didn’t I secure the advertisement spot yesterday!” Xu Yingcai said fiercely slapping his thigh, “I should have offered a million! Just secure the ad spot at a 3.3% rating!”

“Indeed, the quick ones get it, the slow ones miss it,” Zheng Qitian subconsciously glanced around at the other executives, seeing their eyes gleaming like hungry wolves; he knew, today’s event was huge!

Liu Gang was completely dumbfounded.

3.8% ratings at eleven thirty in the middle of the night?!

Time continued, quickly another ten minutes passed, the numbers kept changing—

“If You Are the One… Ratings: 4.915%”

The ratings were still climbing! Now everyone was finding it hard to believe their own eyes.

What’s happening?! Breaking through the 4% threshold was one thing, but it’s still rising?! And the rise was a whole percentage point?!

This was freakishly unbelievable!

At this point, everyone present didn’t know what to say, and the reporters present were utterly stunned!

Damn, this is… really…

Everyone didn’t know what to say anymore. At eleven forty at midnight, the ratings soared to 4.9%?!

“It’s terrifying, this is just too terrifying!”

“Total ratings reaching 4.9%! Good heavens, what can I say?”

The executives present began to get restless, “We must secure this program’s advertising slots!” A few, who didn’t have much say in their companies, immediately went outside to make phone calls: “Hello, boss, it’s me… Yes, ‘If You Are the One’ reached 4.9% ratings…” “Boss, you have to come over quickly, the ratings are almost breaking 5!”

As they made calls outside, the ratings continued to climb—

“If You Are the One… Ratings: 5.787%”

Still rising, not only did it comfortably exceed 5% ratings, it actually kept climbing, up to 5.8%!

It was already eleven fifty at midnight, achieving 1% ratings in this time slot was already impressive since many people were preparing to sleep, but this “If You Are the One”…

At this point, people had forgotten to watch the actual program; everyone’s eyes were fixed on the ratings numbers—

“5.78! 5.78! Go, go! About to break 6%!”

“We’re close, so close! Can we witness history?!”

“This is defying the heavens!”

“Eleven fifty at midnight, ratings about to break 6%!”

Meng Fei was dumbstruck—his hosted show was having a day where it broke 5% ratings?!

All journalists were flabbergasted!

Damn, this is going to set a new ratings record!

These entertainment journalists remembered very clearly, one previous program that invited Ice Princess Bai Yaning as a guest, achieved an incredible 6.39% ratings for that episode!

“`

But that was the prime time slot from 8 to 10 PM, and they had been publicizing it for over half a month!

Yet now…

Wei Ming had completely lost it: “This is absolutely cheating! Does this show really deserve such high ratings?! It’s over, it’s really over now, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Xu will definitely not choose our station anymore…”

Liu Gang was utterly dumbfounded: “This… this…”

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed and the figures on the big screen changed for the last time—

[If You Are the One… Ratings: 6.588%]

Everyone fell silent, and after a brief moment of quiet, the whole crowd burst into cheers—

“Hahaha! Ratings of 6.588! A record for the Heavenly People’s Republic!”

“Awesome! Totally awesome! Brother Hao is invincible! He broke the record! And during this time slot too!”

“This… this is just… am I dreaming right now?!”

Meanwhile, another piece of data that had just been calculated finally appeared on the big screen.

Overall viewer retention rate: 84.687%!

Wang Hao: “Huff… huff…”

“A retention rate of eighty-four percent! Holy shit! Holy shit! This is too awesome!”

“Now that’s what I call a massive success! It means that out of a hundred people who watch, eighty-four didn’t change the channel! Holy shit!”

What does retention rate mean? It shows just how many die-hard fans the show really has!

After all, when people watch TV, they tend to channel surf, watching a bit of one channel, then switching if they’re not satisfied, and then switching again if the next one doesn’t satisfy. But with “If You Are the One,” the viewer retention rate was an astonishing eighty-four percent!

“Am… am I dreaming?!” Liu Qisheng was totally dumbstruck!

Such terrifying ratings, especially considering it was now midnight! A program at this time slot achieving a rating of 6.6, and a retention rate of eighty-four percent!

This is simply an out-of-this-world achievement! And it didn’t stop there—it even broke the previous national record!

All the reporters were astounded, Liu Gang was completely bewildered; he didn’t even know what to say anymore!

Earlier, when Wang Hao mentioned a rating of 2.5, he hadn’t stopped mocking him, but now…

After a moment of stunned silence, the explosion of excitement followed!

All the reporters rushed to the corner where Wang Hao was sleeping, and when they saw him, they were instantly dumbstruck: “Too awesome, so composed! To think he could still sleep at a time like this!”

Of course, sleep was now impossible; with a crowd of microphones all pointing at Wang Hao and cameras all trained on him, those at the back started moving stools over, some even brought poles, surrounding him with three layers inside and three layers outside!

“What’s with all this chaos?” Unable to sleep with all this commotion, Wang Hao sat up, looked around, and asked, “What are you all crowding around me for?”

Xia Xueqi nudged him and whispered, “Brother Hao, the show’s finished broadcasting, the ratings hit 6.6 percent, they want to interview you…”

“Oh, ratings of 6.6 percent? That’s not bad!” Wang Hao chuckled and said, “Didn’t I tell you earlier, 2.5 is quite high, isn’t it quite impressive?”

6.6 percent in ratings! Dude, do you even understand the concept of 6.6! Just ‘not bad’?!

The reporters instantly boiled over—

“Mr. Wang Hao, what are your thoughts on your show achieving such high ratings?”

“Mr. Wang Hao, wake up, your show has finished broadcasting! With ratings of 6.6 percent, could you please…”

“Mr. Wang Hao, Mr. Wang Hao, please accept our exclusive interview!”

The crowd buzzed anxiously, everyone talking at once, turning the whole scene into a noisy uproar!
