In the JZTV building, Run Wild & Survive program team was waiting.
“We broke the record.”
“We have created a miracle!”
“Yeah…it’s over 7%! It’s over 7%!”
There was a sudden burst of loud cheers in the quiet program team. Neither the members and director of the program team nor the leaders of the JZ Station had expected that the ratings of this episode would have been so high!
This was really shocking!
The most important thing was that this was only the TV ratings, and the Internet ratings and click-through rates were not counted yet! If those all added up, how high could the ratings have reached?
They couldn’t imagine it at all! While the program team was cheering, the program teams of other Saturday’s prime shows were almost crying.
All ratings counted, none of these programs had a rating of more than 0.5%!
Almost 90% of the audience had chosen to watch Run Wild & Survive.
One could imagine how badly these shows had lost.
“This is damn awesome, right?”
“Go invite Fang Qiu right now!”
“No matter how much it would cost, no matter what the show it is, and whether it’s a prime time or not, bring me Fang Qiu! You must bring me Fang Qiu!” The senior leaders of major TV stations gave orders.
All of a sudden, the major program teams all set out to invite Fang Qiu.
In Beijiang.
In the office, Fang Qiu just hung up Liu Guobin’s incoherent thank you call, and was particularly surprised that this episode of the show could achieve such high ratings. He was also very happy about it.
The ratings of this episode of the show were high, and at least it meant that he had scored the first success.
Now that he was getting popular, Chinese medicine would naturally get more popular immediately. Next, he only needed to promote Chinese medicine a lot in other shows.
After all, with his current popularity, his participation in any variety show would attract the attention of a lot of people who, while paying attention to his show, would subtly pay attention to Chinese medicine and gradually begin to recognize, accept and even like Chinese medicine from the heart.
The next day, Fang Qiu was inspecting the planting area when the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and took a look. It turned out to be Li Huawen, the director of Young Chinese Medicine Doctor!
“Director Li?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“You are about to disrupt the variety show world!” There came Director Li Huawen’s extremely depressed voice from the other end of the phone. “Every variety show is looking for you. Those who got your number all tried to call you but couldn’t get through. What is going on?”
“Well…” Fang Qiu hesitated for a while, and said with a smile, “My phone only puts through the phone numbers in my address book.”
“What?” When Director Li Huawen heard this, he was surprised and asked, “What phone is it to have such a function?”
“Director Li, what variety shows are looking for me?” Fang Qiu quickly changed the subject.
“There are too many.” Director Li Huawen smiled wryly and said, “It’s an endless list. Give me an email address and I will send you their proposals.”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded and thanked him. “Thank you, Director Li!”
“Come on.” Director Li Huawen smiled wryly and said, “I am a messenger. As for whether you want to participate in the show or not, it is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me.”
The director continued, “However, you can just pretend not to know these things. If you really want to participate in the show, you should contact them alone. Because if you receive these proposals but won’t go, you’ll have to explain it to them. Otherwise, you’re likely to offend them.”
“I see, thank you.” Fang Qiu thanked him again.
“Okay, I’ll send it to you now. Bye.” Director Li Huawen directly hung up the phone.
After a short while, Fang Qiu received a file in his email.
He opened it and took a look.
The shows recorded in the file were all popular recently, including some singing shows and brain challenge shows.
Fang Qiu checked them one by one. It turned out that every proposal in the file was tailor-made for him.
Although every show was biased towards him, Fang Qiu couldn’t help shaking his head every time he looked at them.
He didn’t plan to participate in any of these shows, because he knew very well that these shows could only increase his popularity, but not that of Chinese medicine, so going on these shows would be a waste of time.
After all, his original intention was to promote traditional Chinese medicine. Participating in these shows would not have this effect at all!
Ideally, he should do something to make everyone feel that learning and knowing Chinese medicine was a cool and trendy thing so that the younger generation now could learn to love Chinese medicine.
Imagine if Ke Jie defeated Alphago in the Go game and humans succeeded in defeating artificial intelligence. Then this event would set off a great upsurge in learning Go in the country. In that case, one would feel embarrassed and untrendy if he knew nothing about Go.
But unfortunately, Ke Jie did not succeed!
Now Fang Qiu knew very clearly that he needed such an opportunity.
But at the moment, there wasn’t one.
After rejected all the top variety shows, Fang Qiu continued to check his email.
“Well?” Suddenly, Fang Qiu’s eyes lit up.
He saw an invitation letter from a publishing company.
The specific content was to invite Fang Qiu to publish an autobiography! When he saw this invitation, Fang Qiu was immediately attracted.
Of course, it was not the autobiography that really attracted him, but the publishing company.
At this moment, Fang Qiu suddenly thought of the children in the mountainous area, and suddenly had an idea.
If he printed out the biographies of famous and compassionate Chinese medicine experts and distributed them free of charge to those children who didn’t have money to buy books in poor mountainous areas, what would happen?
In this way, he could undoubtedly not only enrich the reading experience and ability of those children in the mountain areas, but also make the character stories in the biographies and their charm of personality affect those children.
Of course, Fang Qiu did not expect these children to have much interest in Chinese medicine, nor did he ask them to study Chinese medicine in the future. As long as there was an option of Chinese medicine for them, it would be good.
The most important thing was to enlighten these children from an early age, and make them feel that they could accept Chinese medicine.
It was the most important thing to be able to be influenced by ancient sages from an early age to set up a correct value of life. After all, this was not something that could be done overnight for Fang Qiu, he thought about it carefully, and felt that it was still a necessary and interesting thing to do.
When he thought of this, Fang Qiu immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the publisher’s contact number indicated in the email.
In the capital, on the third floor of an office building, there was a sign: Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company.
In the manager’s office, a middle-aged man about 40 years old was sitting at his desk with a deep frown.
In the past few years, it had become more and more difficult for publishing companies.
Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company had been a well-known company in the publishing of traditional Chinese characters. However, with the development of the Internet age, the publishing industry had gradually been replaced by electronic books, which had made it almost impossible for the publishing company to survive now.
At this time, if there was no more best-selling book, the Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company would probably go bankrupt!
Actually, publishing had nothing to do with Fang Qiu.
But…
But seeing that Fang Qiu was so popular, the manager of Complex Characters Culture, in his distress, had come up with an idea. Through his father’s connections, he successfully contacted Director Li Huawen and began to try if he could contact Fang Qiu.
This was the only way he could think of.
If Fang Qiu was not at all interested in the proposal of their publishing company, their Culture publishing company would end up going bankrupt soon.
At this time, the middle-aged man was waiting very anxiously.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Suddenly, the landline on the desk rang. The middle-aged man took a look at the number, then looked at it with confusion, and found that the location of this number was actually Jiangjing City.
Was it Fang Qiu calling? His heart jumped.
His hand was trembling when he answered the phone
“Hello?” The middle-aged man answered the phone.
“Hello, this is Fang Qiu, is it Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company?” There came Fang Qiu’s voice from the other end of the phone.
Hearing his words, the middle-aged man suddenly felt relieved, and his face was filled with incomparable happiness.
“Yes, I am the manager of Complex Characters Culture, Zhang Xingjie,” the middle-aged manager answered quickly.
“I have received the proposal from your company.” Fang Qiu smiled slightly and said, “I am very interested in your proposal. Where is the specific address of your company? Do you have time to talk about it in detail?”
“Yes, of course.” Zhang Xingjie nodded quickly and responded, “Our publishing company is in the capital and you can find it easily.”
“Good.” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “See you.”
He hung up the phone.
Zhang Xingjie hadn’t recovered from his great happiness yet. Holding the phone, he felt like dreaming. He felt very lucky and unreal!
Fang Qiu was a big shot. Although he was still a newcomer in the publishing industry, with his popularity, he would definitely be a first-line writer comparable to the popular ones. Such a big shot must be received well.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xingjie immediately notified all his staff to drop their work at once and go to do the cleaning until it was spotless!
After receiving the order, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Damn, what is wrong with the manager?”
“He is asking us to stop working and do the cleaning. Why?”
“The company is probably going to close down, so he is asking us to clean it up at the end, right?”
“Well, since the manager gave the order, then let’s do it!”
