Before the specific content of the Xihong Zoo New Year's Eve gala was revealed, the top trending searches on Douyin were still videos of pop stars and young idols singing.
However, once the Xihong Zoo's performance was uploaded, the content of other satellite TV New Year's Eve galas was quickly overshadowed.
This was especially true when the third martial arts performance was shown.
In less than ten minutes, the video's likes surpassed one million, and the viewership exceeded ten million.
"What the heck, is this really a live video from the Xihong Zoo New Year's Eve gala? Are you sure it's not a movie trailer?"
"If I had known the Xihong Zoo's New Year's Eve gala would be this exciting, why would I have watched Mango TV?"
"Change the channel, change the channel! This is the gala a real man should watch." kAnshuWu.ξà
"Suddenly, I feel like the New Year's Eve galas on major satellite TV are just playing house."
"This is like a dimensional reduction attack. It's like all the other TV stations are showing 'Wisdom Tree,' and Xihong Zoo directly released Ultraman."
"Goodbye everyone, you guys keep watching your idols' singing performances, I'm going to watch the Xihong Zoo New Year's Eve gala."
"Oh right, don't tell anyone I watched Mango TV's New Year's Eve gala, I'm afraid people will look down on me."
"I unilaterally declare the Xihong Zoo New Year's Eve gala to be legendary."
"Everyone hurry up and change channels, Xihong Zoo's second round of lucky draws and the fourth performance are coming up."
...
In less than half an hour, the Xihong Zoo New Year's Eve gala was praised to the heavens across the internet.
Even audiences who had previously only wanted to watch major satellite TV's New Year's Eve galas began to waver.
Soon, a large number of online viewers swarmed into Xihong Zoo's online live stream, causing the stream to lag.
A portion of the viewers had no choice but to turn on their televisions and switch to Ningnan Satellite TV, a local television station that had never had an audience before.
But even a portion of them, numbering in the millions, caused Ningnan Satellite TV's ratings to explode.
Seeing their own television station instantly surpass a host of star-rated satellite TVs, the director of Ningnan Television was so excited that he immediately drank two bottles of blood pressure medication.
At the same time, Xiangnan Satellite TV and other star-rated satellite TVs that had spent heavily on their New Year's Eve galas were staring in confusion as their ratings plummeted.
Not only were the television ratings falling, but the number of online viewers in the live streams was also decreasing at a crazy speed.
It wasn't until they saw the bullet comments left by viewers that they realized what was happening.
"The popularity of our dignified star-rated satellite TV's New Year's Eve gala is being siphoned off by a zoo?"
Although the result sounded somewhat surreal, it was indeed the case.
And just as the major star-rated satellite TVs were staring blankly at their gala's dismal data, the third performance of the Xihong Zoo New Year's Eve gala officially concluded.
Under the expectant gaze of countless viewers, Yang Lin, riding an elephant as the guide, led a group of tourists to the nearby orangutan enclosure.
"Dear audience, what awaits us next is an invention exhibition brought to us by Dr. Shidifu, the chief inventor of Xihong Zoo."
"Let's welcome our Dr. Shidifu."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, a spotlight shone on the park.
The next moment, Shidifu, wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, appeared before everyone.
"Today, Dr. Shidifu has brought us a total of 8 exhibits. The first one to appear is our first item."
"The Smoking Cessation Artifact!"
Upon hearing this, the audience immediately cast curious glances.
At the same time, Shidifu held a strangely shaped object in his hand.
The object appeared to be made of small PVC pipes, covered with symmetrically arranged circular holes.
Before anyone could figure out the purpose of these holes, Shidifu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
The next moment, he inserted these cigarettes one by one into the circular holes in front of everyone.
Soon, a box of cigarettes was completely inserted. After that, Shidifu put the other end of the pipe into his mouth.
Seeing this, how could anyone not understand the purpose of this invention?
"Dr. Shidifu's invention can perfectly solve the problem of smokers not getting enough satisfaction from smoking."
"Since the quality cannot be achieved, we will win by quantity. Smoking 20 cigarettes at once, finishing a pack in ten minutes is no longer a problem."
"In just one year, we can have 20 years of smoking experience, it's very effective."
However, as soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, Shidifu, who was pretending to take a puff, fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Yang Lin shrugged.
"Of course, the drawbacks of this invention are also obvious. Dr. Shidifu has probably already met his great-grandmother by now."
As soon as he finished speaking, both the audience present and the viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.
"Awesome, I thought this was a serious invention program at first, but now I realize it's a comedy program."
"No wonder it's called a smoking cessation artifact. After using it for two days, forget about quitting smoking, you'll quit eating too."
"Twenty years of experience in one puff, can you handle it?"
"Put it into production, I, Wang Duoyu, will invest in this project."
"If this invention is truly mass-produced, Longguo Tobacco can buy the entire beautiful country next year."
"The taxes paid in one day can build an aircraft carrier."
"King Yama: Are you trying to boost my year-end performance?"
"Judge: My book of life and death is being scribbled in overtime, my pen is smoking."
As the audience was laughing uncontrollably, Shidifu, who had just fallen, "came back to life."
"Alright, that was Dr. Shidifu's first small invention. Here, I want to tell everyone that smoking is harmful to health."
"Okay, now let's look at Dr. Shidifu's second invention."
As he spoke, Shidifu in the park took out another invention.
This time, he took out a perfectly normal-looking baby stroller.
"This invention is amazing."
"I believe many fathers have a motorcycle dream, but due to the pressures of life, they have to suppress this dream in their hearts."
"This stroller can perfectly fulfill the motorcycle dream while also allowing you to take your baby out for a walk."
As Yang Lin spoke, Shidifu put on a pair of rollerblades.
Seeing this, everyone was suddenly at a loss.
Until Shidifu turned a switch on the stroller's handle, and a roaring engine sound came from beneath the stroller.
The next second, to the stunned expressions of countless viewers, Shidifu, wearing rollerblades, was directly pulled away by the stroller.
The speed was so fast that it left a trail of afterimages on the spot.
Unknowingly, the BGM of "Deja Vu" began to play in everyone's minds.
When everyone came to their senses, the stroller had already circled the orangutan enclosure once.
This scene completely stunned all the viewers.
It wasn't until the sound of splashing water was heard that the audience snapped back to reality.
