The longed-for village system

Chapter 293 Breaks Records Again

A minute later inside the Mushroom House, Chen Qing pounded on the stainless steel washbasin in his hand, shouting, "Bring in the laundry when it thunders and rains!"

Sister, Nazha, Lao Wang, and the others were all stunned! They never imagined that Chen Qing would have such a childlike side; it was too wicked!

However, seeing the panicked expressions on the faces of the awakened individuals, everyone burst into laughter, except for Teacher He and his group.

"Xiao Chen, do you know that people can scare each other to death? Don't let me die from your fear instead of the disease. That would be such a miserable death for me." Uncle Da patted his chest, looking speechless.

Teacher He and Teacher Huang were even more direct; they grabbed their pillows and threw them at Chen Qing, which Chen Qing dodged one by one. After this commotion, none of them could sleep anymore.
"What's going on with you guys today? Did you chat all night last night?" Chen Qing asked the group while eating the breakfast that Teacher Huang had made.

Although he had already eaten at the old house that morning, Chen Jie's cooking was still somewhat different from Teacher Huang's. Of course, the main reason he didn't eat anything while the show was being filmed was also quite strange.

Teacher He and the others exchanged glances but remained silent. With cameras rolling, they couldn't possibly reveal the content of their conversation from last night, and they risked being questioned if they weren't careful.

"No, we just chatted casually. Pengpeng was quite inquisitive and asked Teacher Zhou and Teacher Wu a lot of questions." Teacher Huang chuckled and then skipped over the topic, "Mr. Wang, how did your performance go yesterday? Have the ratings come out yet?"

Chen Qing didn't doubt Huang Sanshi's words. Indeed, this was a rare opportunity for Peng Peng. After all, Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat were both top-notch actors. If he could learn some filming techniques from them, Peng Peng might actually win the Best Actor award this year.

This award is the highest honor for all filmmakers and a great affirmation of their acting skills. Of course, it is also an award that Peng Peng would very much like to win.

"Yesterday, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room finally reached 7500 million. Congratulations to everyone, we have created another variety show miracle." Lao Wang couldn't hide his excitement when he said this.

What does 75 million mean? Considering there are only about 14 billion people in all of China, that means on average, one in 20 people is watching their live stream. This is the kind of viewership you only see during the Spring Festival Gala.

"so much!"

Everyone was speechless with shock when they heard the data Lao Wang mentioned. Last time, they thought that more than 50 million was already incredible, but they didn't expect that it would break their program's record so quickly, and even increase it by 20 million this time.

No.1, their show is absolutely No.1 in the variety show world. No one can shake their show, and it can be said that it will be difficult for any variety show to reach their current level in the future. They have created a legend in the variety show industry.

"Wow! That's amazing! 7500 million! 7500 million! We've broken the record again!" Peng Peng even dropped his bowl and chopsticks, got up and ran a lap to celebrate their legendary achievement.

"Brother, you've broken the 2000 million mark again! That was so fast!" The younger sister also felt it was unreal; the record was too easy to break!
She felt like she had won the lottery. Although probably not many people came to see her out of the 7500 million, she still gained more fame, which helped her box office appeal later on.

"Master, is your show's ratings really that high?"

Zhang Yixin knew that "Back to Field" was currently enjoying high ratings, ranking alongside Zhejiang TV's "Running Man" and their "Go Fighting!" as one of the three major outdoor variety shows. However, he never imagined it would be this terrifying. It was completely denying other variety shows any chance! If this continued, no variety show would dare air on Friday nights; prime time would become a nightmare for all variety shows.

"Yeah! Your ratings are absolutely terrifying! Tens of millions of people are watching online at the same time all the time, and it's almost 100 million." Stephen Chow was also amazed by the ratings.

If 100 million people watch the movie, how amazing will the box office be? Just thinking about it makes Stephen Chow excited. It seems they've really gotten a good deal this time, laying an excellent foundation for their comeback.

Uncle Da thought so too. He originally thought that he and Sing Jai were participating in the show to repay a favor to Chen Qing, but in the end they benefited greatly. Such free promotion is much better than later publicity.

"Haha! No, this achievement is also due to the presence of the two teachers, and it's the result of everyone's joint efforts." Teacher He naturally wouldn't say that their program's success was entirely because of Chen Qing.

In the first, second, and third seasons, their show was quite popular, but it wasn't this phenomenal. Even the first episode of this season was just average. All of this changed when Chen Qing joined their show, and afterwards, their show's ratings became increasingly phenomenal.

Everyone picked up their milk and celebrated, because, as Teacher He said, everyone present deserved credit for such an achievement.

Naza excitedly touched Chen Qing lightly, a sweet smile on her face. She felt that her luck had improved since meeting Chen Qing.

After breakfast, Chen Qing, taking advantage of the production team's excitement, made a request: "President Wang, shouldn't we settle accounts? Our performance last night was so successful, we won't even mention how much we owe you, but you should at least offer something in return! You can't expect us to perform for free!"

Hearing Chen Qing say this, the four people from Mushroom House also stood up and stood next to Chen Qing. After all, this was related to what they would eat today, which was a top priority in Mushroom House.

"Mr. Wang, please be straightforward this time! The data shows how successful our performance was last night. We went to great lengths to invite these two teachers, so please don't let us embarrass ourselves in front of them." Although Huang Sanshi spoke in a friendly tone, everyone knew that if the production team didn't meet his expectations, he would definitely be in for a beating.

"Okay! Our production team will provide the lunch ingredients for free today, is that alright?"

Old Wang knew that his production team wouldn't be able to escape today without giving away something, and of course, asking him to provide an unlimited amount was impossible.

"Old Wang, what did you say? Say it again." Huang Sanshi said, then shouted to Peng Peng beside him, "Peng Peng, get me a knife."

"Okay, Teacher Huang!"

Old Wang's heart skipped a beat when he saw Peng Peng preparing to go into the kitchen. He was about to speak when Chen Qing stopped him. Chen Qing reached out and stopped Peng Peng, advising, "Peng Peng, don't listen to Teacher Huang's nonsense. We are civilized people, how can we dare to use knives? We should persuade people with reason and morality."

Seeing Chen Qing's signature smile, everyone in the Mushroom House began to mourn for Lao Wang, while Lao Wang's brows twitched involuntarily, a sense of unease welling up in his heart.
