Chapter 555
Translator: Lan Editor: Efydatia
The new TV network had rushed to buy a channel frequency and neglected the core problem of all TV stations .
It lacked a network logo . As a result, it had the lowest audience ratings . It was aiming at a distinct target group of young women between the ages of 16 and 34, so it would be easy for it to become a popular TV station if it made the right choices .
The new TV series airing on it were a disaster though . The audience ratings suffered because of the network’s weak promotion . TV stations relied on viewers attracted by stellar programs . A TV station needed a loyal audience in order to attract advertisements .
This was the basic relationship between sponsors and good programs . While that network was stuck in the mud, CW was promoting "America's Next Top Model", a fresh-from-the-oven program .
CW had smartly chosen to broadcast it during summer vacation, when teenagers were still at home, and hire some controversial personas as judges . Before the first broadcast, CW promoted the program for two weeks . Now it was finally showtime .
Qin Guan’s loyal fans were already sitting on their couches . They had been informed by his official blog that a new TV program would air on CW featuring Qin Guan as a judge . This was a chance for them to find out about the latest activities of their idol . They could never let such a chance go .
Of course, most of the audience had been attracted by the constant advertisements . They were wondering if the program would surprise them pleasantly .
The show began .
"Hey, I’m Stella from Indiana . I’m 175 centimeters tall . . . " An average-looking girl was talking before the camera .
The girl on the couch grimaced and shouted to her mother, "Mom, come and see! How dare such a girl submit a tape to the competition! I’m prettier than her!"
Her mother walked over slowly with a plate of cookies and some juice .
"Let me see, honey . . . "
"There she is, mom! This is a competition for top models . Any confident girl above the age of 16 can participate, regardless of race, height or weight . . . "
"Oh, honey… This is a new program . Maybe it's some kind of parody . Look at those contestants . If they could be selected, then you could win this competition!"
She sat down next to her daughter and criticized the program with her as they ate cookies and drunk juice .
Women always compared themselves with others unrealistically, even if they were 100 years old and toothless .
The forum on Qin Guan’s official blog was bustling .
"As a girl from Oklahoma, I think she looks ridiculous!"
"Is Oklahoma an American state?"
There were acerbic comments everywhere . People even made fun of the accessories the contestants were wearing .
The contestants were concerned about the program the most . Although many of them had already been in the modelling circle, they participated in hopes of getting more popular .
As a result, they were angry about those comments .
Soon, Tyra Banks, Jay Alexander and Qin Guan showed up, making the girls scream in glee .
"Wow! It’s Tyra Banks! One of the top female models in the world!"
"And Jay Alexander! Founder of the best model-training school! Am I dreaming?"
"You must be dreaming! Look who they invited! It’s Qin Guan, the famous top model!"
"I wonder how he gets along with the three ladies . . . "
Suddenly, the audience changed its mind about the show . CW must have invested a lot to get so many big shots of the fashion circle on the show .
Everyone began to concentrate on the ordinary girls, getting absorbed in the process . Qin Guan walked on the stage calmly . The mother and daughter sitting before the TV forgot to swallow their cookies .
The 13 girls looked like ugly ducklings compared to his brilliant looks . When Qin Guan finished his performance, they all came back to their senses .
"It was cruel to have him on the show . The comparison with the girls was abysmal . "
