Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Make way
The filming of the first season of "Love Island" has finally been completed. After more than two months of closed filming on the Spanish island of Mallorca, this dating reality show that has caused fanatical discussion in the UK is about to end.
How popular is the variety show "Love Island"?
There is a saying now, that is, if two British people are chatting, if they are older, they will start with the weather; but if they are young, they will start by discussing "Love Island"...
In the more than two months since the reality show "Love Island" was broadcast, the number of users accessing the Freeview platform has doubled from more than 3 million households at the beginning of July to 6 million households now, with an average increase of 1.5 million households per month. This makes the number of users of the Freeview platform not far from the total number of users of BSkyB, which is an amazing result!
Although BSkyB's users are higher-quality paying users, the current number of users - more than 6 million in less than a year - was something that Digital UK could not even imagine in the beginning.
Of course, such results cannot be attributed entirely to "Love Island". Programs like "The Traitors" also have many loyal viewers. In addition, SDTV's increasingly rich programs and the increasing number of broadcast channels on the Freeview platform are also the reasons why many users choose to join.
However, one piece of data can show the role played by "Love Island".
Among the 6 million users of the current Freeview platform, more than 2 million have replaced or newly installed upgraded set-top boxes with network on-demand functions.
Among these 2 million users, as many as 86% of them made purchases on pay-per-view services related to Love Island!
Initially, Digital UK offered free set-top box installation, and users were required to pay a deposit of 400 pounds. However, as Chinese-made set-top boxes began to replace locally-made ones, the deposit was eventually reduced to 200 pounds.
When these users replace their upgraded set-top boxes, they do not need to pay extra because the price is 199 pounds, and they can just use the original deposit to deduct it.
As for the remaining deposit, they can choose to have it topped up into their Freeview account or get it back in cash.
However, the vast majority of users chose to recharge.
This also allowed the huge deposit previously received by Digital UK to be directly converted into their turnover.
This alone makes Digital UK profitable.
The popularity of "Love Island" has also benefited the Woaw website, because the voting channels for this reality show include text messages and the Woaw website, and text message voting is charged, so many people choose to vote on the Woaw website.
This also increased the number of registered users of Woaw website in the UK by more than 3 million in these two months.
As of now, the number of registered users of Woaw website has exceeded 20 million, making it the social networking site with the largest number of users in the world.
…
The end of filming of "Love Island" also means that Bonnie Stuart will return to London.
Since learning that her cousin, Mrs. Booth, was pregnant with Barron's child, Bonnie went to Mallorca to supervise the filming of the reality show "Love Island". She returned to London once, but at that time, Barron was already in the United States.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the entrance of the SEM Building. Barron sat in the back seat and looked at the entrance of the building through the car window.
With Chris as an "insider", Barron naturally knew Bonnie's whereabouts.
He knew that Bonnie was about to finish her work and walk out of the building.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Barron saw her in front of the SEM building...
Today, Bonnie Stuart is wearing a burgundy long-sleeved hip skirt, black stockings, and crystal high heels. She has a tall figure, and although her face doesn't have much expression, she looks elegant and charming.
Just as Barron was about to open the door and get out of the car, he saw a man get out of the car from the side of the building and walk towards Bonnie.
Seeing the man holding a bouquet of flowers and walking close to Bonnie, Barron's eyes couldn't help but freeze.
"You look so beautiful today, Miss Stuart. This is for you."
The man looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, dressed in a suit and tie, with a slicked-back hair and powdered face - well, that's how Barron felt.
When the other party said this and handed the bouquet of flowers in his hand to Bonnie, Barron also got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and walked slowly towards Bonnie.
In fact, Barron couldn't explain what kind of feelings there were between him and Bonnie. If it was love, he no longer believed that pure love existed in his previous life.
If I had to say, I'm afraid that the reason he could be with Bonnie was more of a good match. Although she was not from a wealthy family, Barron didn't think he really needed to find a daughter of a wealthy family - to borrow the power of the other family, or to "marry a family"?
Haha, when he really encountered a crisis, could this kind of marriage connection guarantee that the other party would help him? If he
really thought so, it would be a bit naive. In his previous life, Barron had seen many cases of "everyone running away when disaster strikes".
Just like the marriage between the crown prince of Samsung in South Korea and the princess of Elephant Group, when Elephant Group encountered a crisis, Samsung not only did not help, but also added insult to injury and intended to acquire Elephant Group...
So Barron doesn't mind the other party's background. Anyway, he believes that even if the marriage seems to be "well-matched" now, the other party will become a "drag" in the near future, and his destiny will depend only on himself.
But Barron is a man who knows his own business. After being reborn, it is absolutely impossible for him to remain loyal in his relationship and give up the entire forest for a big tree.
Therefore, when Bonnie asked for a "temporary separation" because of Viscountess Bute's affairs, Barron was already a little disappointed. However, he was still willing to give Bonnie a chance because he understood that, unlike what many people believed, in fact, girls from wealthy families are more likely to accept their partner's infidelity because they have been influenced by it since childhood and are more likely to accept it.
On the contrary, girls from common families are more likely to be full of fantasies about love and look forward to a single-minded relationship.
Barron could fully understand that Bonnie needed to slowly accept this kind of thing, and he also had Viscountess Chris to help him comfort and "educate" her.
If Bonnie still can't accept it in the end, it only means that she is not suitable for her.
However, his idea does not mean that he can tolerate others coveting his woman.
So when Barron heard from Mrs. Booth that someone had been trying to pursue Bonnie since the last time she returned to London, he would naturally show up to see who dared to pursue his woman - he and Bonnie had not broken up yet.
Just as Barron was walking towards this side, Bonnie had already seen him.
If you look closely, you can see that her eyes light up, but at this time there is another man standing between her and Barron.
"Thank you, Mr. Weston, but I cannot accept that..."
"Why? Miss Stuart, I just want to be your friend..."
"Because she's already taken!"
Barron smiled at Bonnie and slowly walked towards her... well, ignoring the man holding flowers:
"Sorry, move aside, you're blocking me."
