Chapter 48

"Let's play a 50 million red envelope lottery."

"Hubby turns stones into gold with one hand and squanders with the other."

"Good Voice makes a fortune, Prince sends out 200 million red envelopes."

That night, major media outlets reported on what Prince Xuan said in the airport interview, and some media even calculated the accounts for Prince Xuan.

On the peak night, with the four mentors and their four disciples competing, and Prince Xuan's closing performance, even if the ratings don't surpass the Spring Festival Gala, they should still break 30%.

Initially, the contract with the four mentors stipulated that if the peak night ratings reached 5%, they would receive a 1 million reward, and for every additional percentage point, another 1 million would be added. If the ratings break 30%, each mentor would receive a 26 million reward, totaling 104 million for the four mentors.

The mentors' red envelopes amount to over 20 million, and the red envelopes for the director, music producer, and other key personnel cannot be overlooked.

Including this 50 million red envelope lottery, the total red envelopes distributed could reach or exceed 200 million.

After the ratings for the three episodes were released, the media predicted that the average rating for Good Voice would be over 10%. Even at the minimum of 10%, Evolution Media would earn 3 billion yuan in advertising fees through the performance-based advertising agreement.

The cost of Good Voice is at most 300 million yuan. Just from the advertising fees in the first nine episodes, Evolution Media would make a profit of 2.7 billion yuan. There are still the peak night's advertising and online copyright sales, and later, a series of commercial performances can be developed.

Evolution Media's net profit from "China's Good Voice" could approach 3 billion yuan, more than the annual advertising revenue of most provincial satellite channels.

A single program's profit exceeding the annual advertising revenue of most provincial satellite channels, Prince Xuan created a legend in the television industry that rivals his achievements in the capital market.

Everyone knew that Prince Xuan wouldn't be stingy with red envelopes; otherwise, he wouldn't have performed on the peak night to boost the mentors' red envelopes. However, no one expected that he would give 50 million to ordinary employees, with the total red envelopes reaching 200 million.

While everyone was still discussing Prince Xuan's generous red envelopes, he posted another Weibo: "Good Voice makes a fortune, will donate 1 billion to the Positive Energy Fund tomorrow."

By making a huge profit through the performance-based agreement and generously distributing red envelopes to employees, some viewers felt used and developed a dislike for Good Voice, and some even initiated a boycott. Prince Xuan wanted to nip this possibility in the bud.

The money earned by Evolution Media was not much to him; it was just a part of his strategy to boost his popularity. His most important investment was still in tourism.

This Weibo post immediately garnered a large number of forwards and comments from netizens.

Amidst the praise, the leader of Prince Xuan's fan club, Doggie, once again called on fans to support their husband and Good Voice. Within minutes, the campaign swept the internet and began to spread into real life.

Undoubtedly, under this campaign, the ratings for the fourth episode of Good Voice would reach new heights.

Advertisers were also hoping that Prince Xuan would continue to boost the ratings of "China's Good Voice."

During this period, their sales had surged, with two fast-moving consumer goods seeing a doubling in sales. The profits were already sufficient to offset the exorbitant advertising fees for Good Voice, and there was even a surplus. They no longer worried about the high advertising fees and could reduce ads on other platforms because the coverage on Good Voice was already high enough.

Prince Xuan stayed online until around twelve before going to bed.

The next day, he got up lazily around ten, went to the gym for a workout, took a walk in the garden, and then ordered a few dishes for the chef to prepare.

During this period, he didn't work at night and had meals with Wang Liangming, Yu Suting, and others every day.

Under the management of the British butler, the Wang family's schedule had become somewhat aristocratic and rigid, with breakfast starting early in the morning.

Today was a rare day when he was alone.

Prince Xuan spent a lazy day at home, recapturing the feeling of a weekend, even though it was Monday.

Around five in the afternoon, Prince Xuan went out with his bodyguards.

To host this celebration, Evolution Media booked a restaurant.

If it weren't for the next day's recording, Prince Xuan would have even booked a nightclub.

All employees of Evolution Media, everyone related to Good Voice, and the students who entered the four mentors' teams were present. Most of the celebrity judges from the auditions also came, along with some people Chen Zuming borrowed for the national auditions, totaling over 300 people.

Major entertainment media outlets also came, filming the celebrities arriving in luxury cars outside the restaurant.

This celebration could be described as a gathering of stars, almost bringing together 70% of the country's top singers.

When Chen Zuming greeted Prince Xuan's car, the flashbulbs went off continuously.

The restaurant's security personnel watched the journalists carefully to prevent them from rushing in and harassing the guests.

Prince Xuan's car stopped, and Chen Zuming opened the door.

His current achievements were largely due to Prince Xuan, and he respected Prince Xuan more than his own father.

Prince Xuan got out of the car and smiled, "I said you didn't need to come out. They're all here, right?"

Chen Zuming nodded, "Yes, everyone who could come is here."

The two of them laughed and walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant had been redecorated, with a stage at the back and over thirty tables below, all filled.

When Prince Xuan entered, over 300 people stood up.

Without the stage, this scene would have resembled a boss's grand entrance.

Prince Xuan pretended to be modest, pressing his hand down and smiling, "Everyone, please sit. No need to be formal tonight."

A young employee, who had heard that Prince Xuan was approachable, immediately cheered, "Let's give a round of applause for the generous boss."

"Clap, clap, clap."

The restaurant erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Everyone would receive a prize.

The smallest red envelope was 100,000 yuan, which was about the same as the annual salary of a regular employee, and there was a chance to win 1 million.

Prince Xuan's generosity naturally boosted the employees' loyalty.

He pressed his hand down again to get everyone to sit.

Chen Zuming led Prince Xuan to the main table in the front row, where he sat with the four mentors, Hong Tao, the music producer, and others.

Hua Shao went on stage to give a few opening remarks, announcing the start of the celebration, and then invited Prince Xuan to speak.

Prince Xuan hadn't prepared, but he went on stage, clasped his hands, and smiled, "Thank you all for making a great show, enriching everyone's entertainment life, and proving that I'm not a wastrel. I hope everyone can win a 1 million red envelope. If you don't, you can blame Chen Zuming for putting so few 1 million red envelopes."

Prince Xuan's speech relaxed the atmosphere of the celebration.

Everyone watched the performances and played around, having a great time.

The red envelope lottery brought the atmosphere to its peak, with three people winning 1 million, and others winning 300,000, 500,000, and 800,000, all in cash checks.

(Thank you to the book friends "Long Shao LL1" and "Lao Kada Shifen" for the 200 RMB reward, and "Hóng" for the 100 RMB reward.

The colonoscopy results came back fine, but it was a miserable experience. I'll start increasing the updates tomorrow. Please give me more recommendation tickets to help me show off and fly.

Finally, I wish everyone a happy New Year, and may everyone be able to indulge themselves!)
