The longed-for village system

Chapter 492 Cooperation between the Two Platforms
Of course, the most regretful people among these people are Hunan TV and He Jiong. After all, they were the ones with the highest chance of inviting Chen Qing to the gala. They didn't expect that CCTV would beat them to it.

However, despite their regret, they knew that it was too late to extend the invitation. They knew that once they agreed to participate in CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, they would never appear on CCTV's stage again. This time, they would have to fight for second place among the satellite TV stations!

Without Chen Qing, they still had a chance to compete for the top spot in viewership for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, but now that Chen Qing has joined, their remaining chances have been completely extinguished.

"Director Chen, Teacher He, I have an idea. Could we do a joint live broadcast with CCTV?" A slightly shy girl raised her hand slightly, and seeing everyone's attention, she was not intimidated and continued, "Live broadcasting is so advanced now, we can definitely cooperate with CCTV. This way, both sides can benefit."

"Xiao Zhang, your idea is good. Tell me the specifics of how you plan to do the live stream."

Director Chen was very supportive of the opinions raised by his subordinates, especially since this matter concerned Chen Qing and the ratings of their gala. Even if their TV station didn't get any big profits, they would still be happy to get some.

“Yes, Xiao Zhang, come over here and explain to everyone. Maybe your idea will actually work.” Teacher He also kindly invited the other person to come to his side, giving him enough time and space to speak.

It was the first time that so many colleagues and teachers had paid attention to her, so Xiao Zhang was a little nervous. However, she also knew that this was a rare opportunity. If her idea was accepted by the TV station, she would have a good chance of being promoted in the future, and at least her bonus would definitely be substantial. So she carefully explained her ideas and thought process.

Everyone nodded in agreement with her explanation, and they also felt that the method was feasible. With the current technology, it would be too easy for them to carry out these live broadcasts. The reason they hadn't thought of it before was because major TV stations had never had such a collaboration before.

"Director Chen, what do you think? I personally think Xiao Zhang's method is good, and it shouldn't be too difficult to implement!" Teacher He asked the chief director.

Listening to the explanation, Teacher He felt it shouldn't be too difficult, but since he didn't know much about this area, he left the decision to the gala's director.

"Yes! Technically it's not difficult, it's just a matter of setting up an extra line. The problem is that it's hard to implement, since the other party is CCTV and they may not be willing to cooperate with us. We'll have to rely on you, Professor He, to handle this."

As the chief director of Hunan TV's gala, he still has phone contact with Chen Yimou. However, this is not something that the two directors can decide. As the top male host of Hunan TV, He Jiong's words carry a lot of weight on the station. In addition, Hunan TV may benefit even more from this, so the station director would not refuse such a good thing.

On the other hand, since Teacher He comes from CCTV, he definitely knows more people at CCTV than they do, and given his relationship with Chen Qing, it's the most suitable person for him to step forward.

Teacher He clearly understood the relationship involved. Without further ado, he took out his phone and dialed the numbers of the people involved. After more than ten minutes, he returned and said, "They are still communicating and will get back to us soon."

After discussing it with other leaders, Chen Yimou felt that this approach would be a win-win situation, so he agreed to Hunan TV's application. Chen Yimou then found Chen Qing and explained the situation to him.

Chen Qing was naturally indifferent to this. After all, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was a live broadcast, and having an extra camera made no difference to him. Besides, since the other party was Hunan TV, he had even less to say.

Soon after, a new notice appeared on Hunan TV's official website, indicating that Hunan TV and CCTV would be jointly broadcasting a live stream. However, Hunan TV did not specify the details of how the live stream would be conducted.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, Dragon TV, and other provincial TV stations were also extremely envious when they saw Hunan TV's news. They naturally knew how much this live broadcast would help Hunan TV, and they also knew what Hunan TV was planning.

Unfortunately, when they went to CCTV again to request a joint live broadcast, they were politely refused on the grounds of insufficient time. They didn't even get a taste of the success, and as for this year's gala ratings, they didn't even bother aiming for the top two. After all, with a cheat code in the air, their desired ratings were impossible.

On the evening of the 30th, lanterns and firecrackers were set off all over China, creating a lively atmosphere. At this time, the countdown to the evening party began in the auditorium. As soon as 8 o'clock arrived, the party officially started.

As usual, the show started with everyone dancing, followed by comedy sketches, crosstalk, and singing. Chen Qing, as a representative guest, naturally had a seat to watch the show, and his seat was relatively close to the front.

However, no one thinks he is unqualified to sit in this position. Even if he sat in the front row, no one would think Chen Qing is unqualified. After all, everyone's peaceful New Year this year is inseparable from Chen Qing's medicine.

Chen Qing didn't start performing on stage until 23:40 PM. The two major television stations also officially connected for live broadcasts. When they saw Chen Qing wearing a light blue and white ancient costume on stage, everyone shouted and applauded.

Viewers in the live stream flooded the chat with comments upon seeing Chen Qing's outfit, instantly breaking the all-time record for the number of comments.

Wow! Chen's outfit is amazing! He's reached a whole new level of handsomeness.

"His demeanor, the refined elegance of a young nobleman from ancient times, is something that Brother Chen has captured perfectly."

"Now I understand why so many goddesses like Brother Chen. I'm smitten just looking at him dressed like this."

"It's a pity that he's already taken! Otherwise, I would have paid extra to get some of his genes to modify the family."

"Holy crap! What kind of lewd things are you women saying? You're even more lewd than us men when you talk nonsense."

"Stop thinking about it! Look at yourselves! Do you even have a chance compared to these goddesses? Just listen to Brother Chen sing!"

CCTV and Hunan TV were pleased to see the number of online comments and viewers. As expected, Chen Qing was still the highest-rated show tonight, breaking the record for the night and previous ratings so early.

Inside several houses in the capital
"Shishi, come out quickly, Brother Chen is about to start his performance!" Liu's mother called out to her daughter towards the restroom.

Aunt Liu was very satisfied with Chen Qing. This young man was outstanding in both ability and talent. If she and her husband had such a son-in-law, they would be overjoyed. It was a pity that their daughter was a step too late.

"Here he comes! After waiting all night, it's finally Brother Chen's turn to go on stage!" Liu Shishi rushed to the living room sofa and exclaimed as she looked at the man on TV, "Wow! Brother Chen looks so handsome tonight! The light blue and white clothes suit him so well."
