After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

Backstage.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief as soon as the show started airing.

The days of busyness left him with no time to rest, so he simply leaned back on the single sofa with his eyes half-closed, as if asleep.

Just like he said before taking a break, all the preparations for the show had been completed, and as the director, there was no need to keep an eye on things all the time.

Siphas, who was busy spinning like a top, had wanted countless times to wake up his boss and yell, "Something terrible has happened!"

However, what's both gratifying and regrettable is that the program is running very smoothly, and so far, there haven't been any problems at all.

The six singers took the stage one by one. The host was no longer as talkative as before, and basically just introduced the singers and then walked off the stage.

This has been widely praised.

Music programs should focus on the music itself.

I thought Xiwen was going to ramble on and on again.

[One song after another, very pleasant to listen to]

[Keep going, I'm really looking forward to the songs Chen Yubai will sing!]

……

Sifas's gaze fell on the suddenly harmonious barrage of comments, and he felt a deep admiration for his boss.

Because the audience's reactions are almost entirely within the other party's expectations.

He then looked at another screen displaying the real-time viewership ratings.

At this point, the ratings can only be updated in real time for the entire Western Continent. Ratings for other continents cannot be updated in real time, so the ratings data looks very good.

From 6% at the start of broadcasting, it has now reached 8.7%.

The show is not yet in its later stages.

This means that this episode is very likely to exceed 10%.

Although it doesn't reach the records previously set by "Voice of the West," its viewership ratings in recent years are quite good.

However, the next second, Siphas suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The viewership ratings, which had been steadily increasing, are now gradually declining!

He quickly refreshed the device several times.

8.71％、8.7％、8.69％、8.7％、8.68％……

The data has not changed much.

However, after several fluctuations, it never rose again!

This is not a good sign!

Sifas stared at the data for a long time before going to inform his boss with mixed feelings.

He was a little suspicious. Could it be that his earlier thought of waking up the boss had worked?

No, that's not right. This world is materialistic, and he was just thinking about it casually in his mind. He didn't form any obsession or anything like that, so how could it have any effect?

Richard, who was already a light sleeper, opened his eyes when Sifas approached.

Seeing the bewildered look on his reliable assistant's face, he was somewhat puzzled:

"Sifas? What's wrong? Is there a problem with the live stream? Or are you feeling unwell?"

"If it's the latter, I'll allow you to take a few more days off. As my right-hand man, your health can't be compromised at this time."

Siphas: "..."

“If you hadn’t said those last two sentences, I think I would have been even more moved.”

Without waiting for Richard to ask any questions, she rattled off all the changes in viewership she had observed.

"And now?" Richard seemed much calmer.

“It’s still declining slightly, which is strange.” Sifas said, his gaze involuntarily turning to Lin Zhihao, who was walking onto the stage.

Clearly, he was suspecting that the ratings problem might be related to Lin Zhihao.

Richard smiled helplessly: "Even if he doesn't seem easy to get along with, you can't think that way. Besides, I trust my judgment in choosing guests."

“Alright.” Siphas withdrew his somewhat impolite gaze.

Richard stroked his chin. "The ratings fluctuations are indeed abnormal. Based on projections, they should be steadily rising..."

After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! The broadcast time of the program next door is the same as ours!"

"Check their situation. I remember Old Allen always challenged me in every way, including publishing real-time viewership ratings!"

Old Allen, also known as the director of the "West Continent Singer" program.

After Richard became the director of "Westworld Voices", he met with the other party several times.

Every time it ends up being very unpleasant.

Upon hearing this, Siphas suddenly realized what was going on.

"Sorry, I forgot about 'external factors'."

After all, they were competitors, and as Richard's assistant, it was best to avoid mentioning them if possible.

As time went on, they completely forgot about their rival.

He hurriedly went to the laptop on the table and spent nearly an hour or two searching for related topics and opinions.

A conclusion was quickly reached.

"It is indeed closely related to them."

“Their ratings were much higher than ours at the beginning, starting at around 13% and peaking at about 13.9%.”

"The ratings suddenly dropped several times afterward, reaching a low of around 9.6%. I guess that was during the time when our guest groups appeared, when the second part of the preview was played, and during the time when Louis and Clementine performed."

"Now, Cyril and Miss Qiao from the North Continent are about to appear on their side."

Richard shrugged: "It really is related to Cyril; his popularity was already on the rise."

Not to mention that a cappella performance today, which seems to have gone viral.

“What should we do?” Siphas asked.

Lin Zhihao's popularity is nowhere near that of Cyril.

Qiao Xinyue is said to be a top star in Beizhou, and her reputation is well-deserved, so it's impossible to expect her to underperform.

“We’re not going to do anything,” Richard said, shrugging. “Or rather, there’s nothing we can do.”

Seeing that his boss wasn't in a hurry, Sifas' tense expression also relaxed:

"Then we can only hope that Lin Zhihao can put on a great performance."

The singer on stage has already started performing.

Korean is Lin Zhihao's native language, which gives him a home-field advantage.

Under normal circumstances, one could indeed expect him to deliver a stunning performance.

but--

"Well, I trust Chen Yubai more than this singer from the Korean region."

"Huh? Why?" Siphas asked, puzzled.

Richard joked, "Of course it's because Tangxing Entertainment has a reputation among its fans for 'creating miracles,' which is quite romantic, isn't it?"

Sifas didn't understand: "But ratings are reality, and have nothing to do with how romantic it is."

Richard: "How about we wager your vacation this month and next month?"

Siphas, who had never won, was speechless.

Richard: "So, you're scared after losing a few times? You call yourself a tough guy—"

Sifas: "No problem! But Chen not only needs to beat Lin Zhihao, he also needs to turn the tide of the current situation."

"can."

Richard was very interested.

Anyway, he's the boss, so it's up to him whether or not to give holidays.

So Siphas might make a profit, he never loses!
