Chapter 228 Tonight at 8 PM, Witness a Miracle.
The fourth box.
Jiang Bai slowed down his eating pace slightly; his 12 stamina points now made his stomach's digestive capacity comparable to a stone crusher.
As a palace drama, "Beauty's Rival in Palace" naturally includes night scenes.
In order to meet the deadline, Yu Zheng has already said that the whole crew will accompany "Empress Zhang Yan" and "General Zhou" to film night scenes tonight.
If it were an average actress, after filming emotionally charged scenes all day long, she'd probably have bags under her eyes that have drooped down to her chin by now.
Forget memorizing lines, he can't even stand up straight.
But Jiang Bai is different.
"Commander, this stamina is really something else, it's really useful."
Jiang Bai rubbed his wrist while remarking to the system in his mind.
"After filming all day, I feel like I could go outside and run ten kilometers, and do five hundred push-ups while I'm at it."
[Host, in modern terms, your current state is that of a "top-tier beast."]
[Given enough fodder, you alone can outnumber the entire crew.]
[It's suggested that the host simply stop sleeping altogether and switch to 007 filming mode, the kind that's non-stop, 24/7.]
"Get out of the way!"
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes.
What happened to the cattle and horses?
"Even if I were made to pull a millstone like a donkey for a million-dollar paycheck, I could still manage to produce a rhythm of 'Empress Dowager'!"
As he spoke, Jiang Bai picked up a shrimp ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
That satisfied expression on his face was even more radiant than if he had won the Best Actress award.
It has to be said that although Yu Zheng, that old fox, loves to scheme, he is absolutely meticulous when it comes to "serving" him with food and drink.
These shrimp balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the ribs fall off the bone with a gentle touch, and the hand-torn cabbage is full of wok hei (wok aroma).
After finishing the soup, mix it with rice; every bite is a taste of happiness.
Just as Jiang Baifeng was devouring the last boxed lunch, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.
[Ding! Popularity +500... Popularity +1000... Popularity +2000!]
The numbers on the panel started to fluctuate slightly, as if they were on drugs. Although the amplitude was small, the frequency was extremely fast, and the fluctuations seemed to be getting stronger.
Jiang Bai chewed on the meat, his brow furrowing:
"Strange, it's not even 8 o'clock yet, is it? Isn't The Voice of China only broadcast during prime time? Why are they already harvesting viewers now?"
He ate while swiping his phone and opening Weibo.
Good guy!
On the trending topics list, a hashtag marked with a red "hot" tag is climbing at breakneck speed:
#The Voice of China National Day Special: Sweetheart Goddess Jiang Baizhi, composes a stunning patriotic song on the spot in ten minutes?#
Upon clicking, it turned out to be a teaser video posted by the official Weibo account of The Voice of China.
The video editing was so suspenseful!
In the picture, Jiang Baizhi's retro-style heiress outfit only showed her back.
Immediately following was Wang Dazhong's astonished face in the control room, as if his heart had stopped.
Then, the scene cuts to a close-up of the keys of a Steinway piano.
The slender fingertips slammed down heavily, producing a resounding, soul-stirring sound.
Finally, Jiang Baizhi bowed deeply, a single tear slowly falling from the corner of her eye.
The screen went black, leaving only a line of large gold text:
A single, exquisite tear, a testament to countless patriots. Tonight at 8 PM, witness a miracle!
The comment section below has completely exploded.
"Holy crap! It's Jiang Baizhi again? A ten-minute original revolutionary song? Even a script wouldn't dare write something like that!"
"Look at that back view, the goddess looks pretty good tonight!"
"I was in the audience, and let me tell you, there are even more surprises to come. In short, this season is absolutely incredible!"
"Stop talking, I've already prepared sunflower seeds and drinks, just waiting to tune in to The Voice at eight o'clock sharp!"
Jiang Bai looked at the overwhelming discussions on his phone and his lips twitched.
"Wang Dazhong, that old Wang... he's really mastered marketing tactics."
Even though there was still more than an hour before the broadcast, they used the special occasion of National Day to pique the public's curiosity to the point of near a standstill.
Especially the labels "ten-minute live creation" and "red song" are simply a traffic bomb!
[Ding! At this rate of pre-launch hype, once your shout of "I love you, China!" officially goes off the air at 10 PM, your popularity will probably skyrocket!]
"Popularity points? I still have over a million popularity points that I haven't used yet."
Although Jiang Bai said it was useless, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
The higher your popularity rating, the more items you can exchange for to save your life and become stronger.
He looked down at the boxed lunch in his hand again and suddenly felt that the pork ribs and shrimp tasted even better.
"Eat! Only when you're full will you have the energy to face the tsunami of popularity at eight o'clock!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
Assistant director Lao Liu's voice rang out from outside the door, carrying a hint of cautious flattery:
"Ms. Bai Zhi, how was your meal? Director Yu said the set for the next scene is ready, and asked if you could arrive ten minutes early to test your position?"
Jiang Bai wiped his mouth, swallowed the last mouthful of pork rib soup, and instantly switched his gaze to the melancholic and beautiful Zhang Yan mode.
"understood."
"I'm coming right now."
.......
Kyoto TV, real-time data monitoring backend.
Dozens of electronic screens flickered, reflecting the tense faces of the technicians.
Meanwhile, Wang Dazhong was sitting casually in the command position, looking at the comments on his phone, his mouth practically stretched to his ears with a grin.
The three characters "Jiang Baizhi" have almost flooded Weibo, Taobao, and Douyin!
Tonight, the ratings are likely to reach a new high!
"Director, it's already a hot topic online!"
Assistant director Xiao Gao stared at his laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard.
"Especially after we released that 'ten-minute original' gimmick, many music bloggers were betting that if Jiang Baizhi could really write a high-quality patriotic song on the spot, they would perform a handstand and eat the keyboard on the spot."
"Eat keyboards upside down? They'll probably all end up in the hospital tonight."
Wang Dazhong took a sip of goji berry water and shook his head with a shrewd expression.
"The viewership during the blind auditions was just an appetizer. Tonight's show is a battle royale within the mentor groups, plus that retro-style sweet song and a National Day patriotic song."
"Tonight, our show is not only going to take first place, but we're also going to crush those old rivals who are targeting satellite TV!"
Xiao Gao nodded, his face filled with excitement:
"Yes, I estimate the ratings might exceed 3% tonight!"
"It's just a pity that Teacher Jiang Baizhi won't be in the next episode."
"It's alright."
Wang Dazhong shook his head, suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with fanaticism.
"As long as Jiang Baizhi hasn't been eliminated, we won't have to worry about ratings!"
"What's a couple of missed sessions? Better rest is for a better start!"
"Just like dating, the ups and downs, the fact that you can't see each other all the time, is what makes it so attractive!"
soon.
It was exactly 8 p.m.
With that iconic metallic click of the swivel chair, and the giant "V" sign logo appearing on television screens in countless homes.
The National Day Civil War Special of "The Voice of China" has officially begun!
