At the Spring Festival Gala of Jiangsu Provincial TV, Ye Zhiqiu's song "Prose Poem Written by My Father" moved countless audiences to tears.

Compared with previous stages that combined high technology with tradition, this show has no gorgeous scenery and even looks a bit plain.

But the simple singing voice touches the soul directly and is the most touching.

When the song ended, the live broadcast room had over 2200 million online viewers, who were sharing their feelings.

"As I listened, I started crying. I couldn't hold it back."

"The song that touches my heart, I can't help but shed tears. This is longing, reluctance, gratitude, attachment, and remembrance..."

"Life is so good now, but my old father has passed away. He worked hard all his life and finally got through it, but he didn't get to enjoy a few more years of happiness..."

“I don’t understand my father, I refute my father, I hate my father, I become my father, I am not as good as my father, I admire my father…”

"On New Year's Day, I cried my eyes out when I heard this song in my rental apartment... My father passed away half a year ago, and I am the only one left in this world."

“It’s a song that touches your soul and you won’t dare to listen to it a second time.”

"This is the most touching program in this year's Spring Festival Gala."

"It has to be Ye Zhiqiu. He's the master of the match."

The power of Ye Zhiqiu's program is so great that it is a little beyond imagination. After this song, the rest of the programs seem to become a little lukewarm.

On the other side, CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, after a festive countdown, the host delivered a series of New Year greetings like a relay, and the show ended with a joyous chorus.

Backstage, when the live broadcast signal was cut off, the chief director Yan Zhigang, who had been tense all night, finally let go of his worry.

Directing such a large-scale evening party that attracted national attention was a double torture to the mind, body and energy. Although there were many problems, it finally ended without any major problems.

After being exhausted, Yan Zhigang felt excited.

With this successful experience of directing the Spring Festival Gala, his status and reputation in the industry will definitely rise to a higher level.

Although they are directors of the same period, he was generally considered by the outside world to be one level lower than Zhao Jinglun. This time they should be on the same level, right?

Yan Zhigang was having all sorts of thoughts in his mind, but he showed no emotion on his face and calmly asked the staff about the program data.

"How are the ratings tonight?"

An assistant quickly responded, "Director Yan, we just got the data. According to preliminary statistics, the average ratings for tonight's show are 29%, and the peak ratings are 37%."

Hearing this data, Yan Zhigang frowned slightly.

The audience ratings are indeed not good. Compared with the Spring Festival Gala in recent years, they are even relatively poor.

However, now that people have more means of entertainment in their lives, a decline in the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala is an inevitable trend. It’s not my fault, Yan Zhigang comforted himself in this way.

"What about online channels?" he asked casually.

"Uh..." The assistant glanced at the information in his hand and said hesitantly: "The maximum number of viewers of the live broadcast was 1533 million..."

"This data ranks second. The first place is the Spring Festival Gala of Jiangsu Satellite TV, with a maximum number of concurrent online viewers of 2215 million, which also broke the record of the Spring Festival Gala over the years."

"What?!" Yan Zhigang originally felt okay about the figure of more than 1500 million, but he was shocked after hearing the last sentence. Without caring about anything else, he grabbed the information from the staff member.

Looking at the data in his hand, Yan Zhigang's face became increasingly gloomy.

For the first time in history, the number of online viewers of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala is actually lower than that of local stations!

To put it seriously, this is a "shame". Having the best platform and resources, we were defeated by a local station. This is simply unacceptable.

At this time, Yan Zhigang had completely lost the relaxed mood he had just had. In addition to being shocked and angry, he also had deep doubts in his heart.

What medicine did Jiangsu Satellite TV take this year to be so powerful? This is unscientific!

Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind—Ye Zhiqiu.

......

Every year after the Spring Festival Gala ends, its hot topics will dominate the Weibo hot search list.

This year is no exception, but the protagonist of this year's hot searches is rarely the CCTV, but Jiangsu Satellite TV.
