Extraordinary Genius Chapter 1335 - Good Reviews

Chapter 1335 – Good Reviews

“Manager Feng, you are a genius. The ratings for our and the online views are very high.” Zhang Chaoyang said.

“We had spent so much to promote this show. If no one is watching it, that means this show sucks. But our money is well spent based on the ratings.”

Feng Yu has some hesitations as this show is a new concept and is worried viewers might not accept it.

Luckily, this show did not disappoint Feng Yu, and there are no other interesting shows in the same time slot. That’s why he is not very surprised to see it has such high ratings.

“Manager Feng, do you know that after this show is aired, we received many invitations from local governments to film in their Cities. Some even contacted Li Chen and Song Jia to ask them to promote their tourist attractions. They are willing to sponsor the entrance fees and lodging for them.”

“That’s good. Remember to contact the local authorities before we go there to film. Those who want to be featured in our show must pay a fee. We are promoting their tourism for them, and they should not be taking advantage of us!”

“What? Manager Feng, they allow us to film for free and are sponsoring our lodging, food, and travel expenses. We are still going to collect money from them?”

Feng Yu rolled his eyes. “What’s wrong? How much are the entrance tickets, lodging, etc.? Didn’t we include those in our budget? How much will it cost for them to feature their tourist attractions on CCTV to attract tourists? Can they afford to advertise on TV?”

“Let our people contact those attractions’ government. They benefit from this and tell them that we will skip them if they are not willing to pay. China has a lot of attractions, and we don’t mind skipping them.”

Zhang Chaoyang nodded. He had never thought about what Feng Yu said, but he felt it made sense. One minute of advertising on CCTV is too expensive for those attractions. Even if they get reporters to interview them, they also need to give them money.

“How are the reviews on the show online?”

“There are not many reviews, but this show is a trending topic for discussion online. Many people talk about the show on our Sohu forums, Sina blogs, Baidu Ba Tie, etc. Many people say this show is very close to reality, unlike previous travel shows. Some even said they are considering going to Bing City during the holidays.”

Zhang Chaoyang opened a Lenovo laptop and placed it in front of Feng Yu. Feng Yu clicked on Sohu forums and saw the thread about the show has the most replies.

Feng Yu entered the thread to read the comments.

“This should be the way travel shows should be filmed. Those travel shows in the past are trash. They are just talking about history and culture. I only care whether if the place is fun or not when I go on holiday. Who cares about history?”

“How come I didn’t see Song Jia’s negative comments about the attractions on TV? Is it censored by the higher-ups? Those leaders only know about covering up their flaws!”

“It is not included in the TV station version. But I saw it online, on the Sohu Channel’s version. I support what Song Jia said.”

“That’s right. She told the truth, and at the end of the program, Bing City Government had taken correction measures after hearing her feedbacks. This is what the government should do.”

“I am from Bing City and had gone to Bingxue Big World yesterday. Safety measures had been implemented for the dangerous rides mentioned by Song Jia, and the shops there had adjusted their prices. Although it is still slightly expensive, it is not overcharging people like before.”

“Those above me are just saying the good things. How can only two people film this show? It must be fake!”

…….

Sohu Channel set up a Baidu Ba Tie for this channel before it was aired and arranged their staff to monitor it.

“I heard the idea for this show is from Feng Yu. Do you think it’s possible?”

“Bulls.h.i.+t. Do you know who Feng Yu is? Why will the World’s Richest Man be focusing on a TV show? He can afford to go anywhere for a holiday. I think this is only a gimmick by the production team to promote this show!”

“Wah… Li Chen is so handsome!” A girl posted.

“He is only average looking and not as handsome as Jay Chou.”

“I prefer Aaron Kwok.”

“Why are you all discussing this? I find this show quite interesting and will continue watching other episodes. Even if I cannot afford to go on holiday, but I can still watch it. This is filmed from a tourist point of view.”

There is all sort of posts on this Tie Ba, but most of it is not related to the show.

As long as these posts are not against the regulations, they don’t need to delete them.

Li Chen and Song Jia had registered Sina accounts some time ago, and their followers increased a lot these two days. They were shocked and wondered why they had become so popular overnight?

Li Chen and Song Jia thought only movie stars could get so many followers, and they had never expected to gain fame from hosting a travel show.

Everyone likes these two cheerful young couples and started following them. Some even asked if they are in a relations.h.i.+p.

Li Chen and Song Jia are speechless over this question. They only got to know each other before the start of this program and are not attracted.

Even their parents thought they are a couple and called to ask them about it.

Both of them explained on their Weibo and hope the viewers will focus on the show instead of them. They promised to show viewers the real side of them and the attractions.

Their popularity increases further after making this statement, and they have more fans than some superstars. Some even ask them to reveal their next destination and wish to join them.

Some people and government staff even tried to invite them to their hometown and cities for filming.

But most of the comments are praising this show for being real, and one episode per week is too slow. They want to watch an episode every day.

Feng Yu switched off the laptop. He does not need to read any more comments.

Although there is some negative feedback, most of the reviews are positive.
