Chapter 157: The Program Dilemma
The day after returning to Spring City, Li Li returned to work.
Because the second episode of "I Am an Actor" has not yet been recorded, and the first Friday after the Spring Festival will be broadcast on time, leaving only 6 days for Giessen Satellite TV.
So, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the "I Am an Actor" column group started working before they had time to experience the holiday syndrome.
The first 8 episodes of "I Am an Actor" are challenges, except for the first episode of the star, there are not many stars in the remaining 7 episodes.
Not surprisingly, due to the good reputation and high discussion of the first episode of the program, the second episode of the program received widespread attention and successfully set a rating of 1.98, almost breaking 2.
However, because the second episode of the program only has actors who are relatively well-known to the public such as Jin Shijia and Haiqing, and the other actors are not very famous, this starry situation has lasted from the second episode to the eighth episode, and the attention of the follow-up programs is gradually decreasing.
What is "I Am an Actor" watching? In fact, what I watch is the big star drama PK, to put it bluntly, it is still a matter of looking at people, watching the excitement of competition between stars and stars, when there are few stars, there are still a few viewers who like to watch the acting skills of ordinary actors.
After all, Jisen Satellite TV has limited financial resources, and it can't afford to invite too many traffic coffees.
Therefore, the ratings of "I Am an Actor" have gradually declined since the third issue, which is not something that can be solved by one Li Li.
Moreover, Li Li was directly promoted after participating in the first phase, and the next seven challenges were the part of other star competition, and the biggest attraction of the show was gone!
As for the setting of the amateur challenge link, unfortunately, only one amateur challenge succeeded in the first seven phases, and the other 6 amateurs all failed.
1.76%, 1.98%, 1.61%, 1.55%, 1.49%, 1.51%, 1.42%, the ratings of the first seven episodes of this group of shows well illustrate the dilemma of amazing program broadcasting and gradual weakness in the follow-up.
The program team has held countless meetings, but there is no good solution, after all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this kind of program can't be done without the support of stars.
Of course, the current average rating of the show is 1.61%, which is absolutely outstanding in the variety show market, and it is already a successful popular variety show.
But "I Am an Actor" is very high, the whole Taiwan is full of ambition for it, and has a higher pursuit of it, so the ratings of 1.61% are the third in the station, and they are still in a state of continuous decline, which is obviously not up to standard.
……
At the end of March, the glacier melted and everything recovered.
In the conference room of "I Am an Actor", everyone discussed fiercely:
"Our ratings are now as low as 1.42, and if we go any lower, we won't be able to see anyone. We must find a way to turn the tide!"
"How to reverse? If there is a chance to reverse, the first seven issues have already been reversed! Aren't we short of star players?!"
"Judging from the current situation, we can only hope for the ninth group stage, and then it will be time for the stars to gather again. ”
"What about the eighth episode? If nothing else, the ratings of our next episode will fall below 1.4, but the ratings of our first episode have reached 1.76, I thought it would rise steadily, but I didn't imagine that it would continue to fall, what should I do?"
The crowd fell silent.
Xia Xue said: "Our original level was too high, in the first episode of the show, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Ershan, Wan Qian, Guan Xiaotong, Dong Zijian, this star lineup is very eye-catching, and there are unexpected surprises and small gifts." It is inevitable that the first episode will have high ratings!"
Song Dongdao: "It would be nice if Xiaoli exploded again, the ratings will definitely rebound, but we can only wait until the next round of the competition, does Xiaoli have any good ideas? Is there any way to save the ratings?"
Li Li frowned and thought about it, and shook his head, the current situation can only be improved by waiting to enter the [Group Competition].
Lao Kong sighed: "My two children know it now, and the ratings of each episode of our show now depend on Li Li's popularity alone!"
"Your children are chasing stars when they are so old?"
"I don't know if it's a star chaser, but the child should know who looks good and who doesn't, anyway, when Xiaoli appeared on TV, the two of them stared straight at it and didn't let them change the channel. ”
The dull atmosphere in the office has changed a little, and then Yu Ya said: "Starting tomorrow night, the 8th episode of the program and the first game of the 9th group competition will be recorded together, and it is planned to be recorded within two days, ending this long round of challenges, when we enter the group competition, our ratings will naturally improve, come on!!"
Yu Ya seemed very calm about this reasonable decline in ratings, but the meeting was still as it was, knowing that there was no better way to maintain the popularity of the challenge, Yu Ya still kept urging everyone to work together to find a way.
What is this called? This is called knowing that 'can't be done' and 'doing', if the jar is broken, then the spirit of the whole team will be instantly dissipated.
Yu Ya wants to adjust the team's cohesion and mental state in the best state to face the long program cycle.
At the end of the meeting, as soon as Li Li returned to the office, he heard Huang Xiaomin say: "Teacher Li, the security department said that a girl is looking for you." ”
"Girl, didn't you say that if a fan came to me, it would mean that I wasn't in the stage?"
"This time is different, this girl is too persistent, she has been waiting from noon to now, and she has been waiting pitifully at the door. Huang Xiaomin said.
"Xiaoli is amazing now, the fans are so enthusiastic, people come to give gifts every day, envy us!"
""I am an actor", Xiaoli is currently the biggest beneficiary, has the Weibo fans exceeded 3ooo?"
Li Li shook his head: "Not yet, more than 28oo." ”
From the Spring Festival to the present, relying on the continuous popularity of "I Am an Actor" and "Movie Guide", Li Li has been working steadily, and his fame and reputation have continued to improve, and now he has grown into one of the most popular hosts in China in more than five months from January last year to the end of March this year.
The reason why we add "one" is to understand modesty.
I don't know when it started, it seems to be after the Spring Festival, there are always fans who come to the station to send flowers and gifts or something, every day, at the beginning of such a life, Li Li was very excited, and every time he came to the door to chat with fans.
But as time went by, fans came to the station to give gifts, which cut Li Li's working hours to pieces, and Li Li was troubled, so he had to ask the security room to collect the gifts on his behalf.
At this time, Huang Xiaomin's phone rang again, and she connected: "She must wait for Teacher Li, but ...... She said that Teacher Li knew her? Every fan who came to the Radio and Television Center said that he was familiar with Teacher Li, okay, what is it called? Wang Yufei?" Huang Xiaomin looked at Li Li, "Teacher Li, is it the girl we met in the countryside during the Spring Festival?"
Li Li said: "Ask her mother's name." ”
"Brother Lu, ask the girl her mother's name, Ma Hong? Okay, let her in, Teacher Li let her." ”
……
Ten minutes later, Huang Xiaomin led Wang Yufei into the office, and she pointed to Li Li's location, "Teacher Li is working there." ”
Huang Xiaomin looked at the corner of the public office, she was a little surprised, isn't Li Li a big star? Isn't he the editor-in-chief of "Movie Guide"? How can he work with other employees? Shouldn't he have a big and bright office? This is unreasonable?
Li Li got up and waved his hand, and walked over quickly.
He looked at Wang Yufei carefully, this girl was wearing an indigo coat and a pair of canvas shoes under her feet, and the whole person was a little innocent and childish.
Everyone in the office looked at this girl curiously, and they didn't know what her relationship was with Li Li.
What's the relationship?
Li Li felt that in terms of "metaphysics", they should be brother and sister! After all, Wang Yufei's mother Ma Hong and Li's father are first lovers!
The exposure time of Dad Li and Ma Hong's youth story was the night when they returned to Spring City from Liaoyuan City.
That night, when Dad Li was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly woken up by Mother Li.
Li's mother was furious, grabbed his collar and said, "Li Jianguo, Li Jianguo! I'm so disappointed in you! I think about it day and night!"
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Dad Li hurriedly said: "Ma Hong and I held hands back then, there is really nothing else, you also know how closed ...... was in that era" Seeing Li's mother frowning, Dad Li hurriedly said, "In addition to holding hands, just kissing the mouth, there is really nothing else, you also know that in that era, men and women had to have a marriage certificate to open a house, otherwise they would be considered hooligans...... Okay, okay, I'll explain it...... But you are the only place in my life!"
Ding!bell...... This is the Bgm of the night.
The next day, Li Li was very curious and asked his father what he was talking about in his dreams, and Li's mother said that he didn't talk in his dreams, Li Li was puzzled, so how did Dad Li reveal it?
Mother Li said calmly: "Hey, I cheated it!"
Li Li complained for Li's father: "You are fishing for law enforcement! You are a lure!"
Mother Li said very wrongly: "I didn't do anything, I just woke up your dad and grabbed his collar, I didn't mention how he and Ma Hong were from beginning to end, he took the initiative to explain!"
Li Li was stunned, he suddenly understood a truth, women do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, men specialize in careers, women specialize in husbands, and there are specializations in art! No wonder books such as "The Imperial Husband Has Skills" and "The Secret of a Happy Woman" are so popular with women.
Mother Li said again: "Do you not believe it? Okay, I have a recording here, this is the evidence!"
Li Li shuddered, he remembered the past when he had secretly recorded his conversation with his father.
The conversation with my dad in the car at that time fully proved two things at this moment:
1, my father didn't brag, he did fascinate thousands of girls when he was young, at least he fascinated Aunt Ma Hong.
2. The genes are really strong, and I do like to do things that my mother likes, such as recording.
led this half-sister to the editor-in-chief's office, and Li Li pulled a chair for Wang Yufei: "Yufei, sit." Xiaomin, pour Yufei a cup of coffee. ”
"No, thank you. Wang Yufei was a little restrained, "Brother, this is your office?"
"Hmm. ”
The office was a little dusty, and Wang Yufei was a little surprised.
Li Li said again: "This office has been idle, and I work in that office. It's not convenient to talk there, so I came here. Yufei, do you have anything to do with me?"
The Beijing Film Academy will conduct an interview the day after tomorrow, and when she knew that Wang Yufei was looking for him, Li Li knew the purpose of her coming.
"Brother, I'll go to the capital at night, Renyi, Jingdian, and Huaxi...... Which of these art schools do you think is better for me to choose?"
Li Li smiled: "Either one is fine." ”
"Which is better?"
Li Li was speechless for a while, for these civilian children, which one is better is not the most important, whether they can be admitted is the key. The admission ratio of 2oo:1 in the performance department of Jingdian, of which this "1" has been digested by many well-known young actors, and the places left for civilian children are really few.
Li Li said: "Cast a wide net, your mother didn't agree to you going to the interview, right?
"Brother, how do you know?" Wang Yufei was shocked.
"Oh, if your mother really agrees, how can you rest assured that you are a girl going to the capital alone? Or do you have a companion to accompany you?"
"No!" Wang Yufei suddenly felt a little uneasy, and said, "Brother, don't tell my mother." ”
Li Li didn't say anything, and asked again: "How much money do you bring?"
"1ooo dollars. ”
"1ooo? The air ticket to the capital is not enough!"
"Brother, I'll take the train!" Wang Yufei's eyes were full of sympathy for Li Li's ignorance of the people's suffering.
"Oh, is there anything I can do to help you?" Li Li regretted when he asked this sentence, he was especially afraid that Wang Yufei would ask him what kind of way he had, whether he had a personal relationship or something.
Li Li has something to do with it, Vice President Wang and Li Li have recently called each other brothers, and they have become old friends, Sun Yumei, a famous acting teacher in Jingdian, every time Li Li puts forward her own opinions in the show, she will listen sincerely, and she has the potential to become an old fan girl......
But Li Li put aside the right and wrong for Wang Yufei to find a relationship, and said first, why? I don't know you very well! Moreover, from the perspective of "metaphysics", you almost became the younger sister who competed with yourself for the family property!
To Li Li's surprise, Wang Yufei just asked sincerely: "Brother, do you think I am suitable to be an actor?"
Li Li hesitated for a while, he carefully looked at Wang Yufei, in terms of current image and temperament alone, this child has no potential to become popular, lacks astrology, she is different from Cai Jiayan.
Li Li didn't dare to judge other people's lives arbitrarily, that was irresponsible, and he didn't have this qualification, besides, he only had a two-sided relationship, and he didn't have a deep understanding of the child.
Li Li pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I think you can give it a try! Good luck to you." ”
"Thank you, brother!" Wang Yufei was very happy, she might just wait for Li Li's words of encouragement, or maybe this was the purpose of her trip, she said happily: "Brother, I'm leaving!"
"Nothing else?"
"It's gone!"
Wang Yufei picked up her backpack, stood up happily, and waved goodbye.
Li Li was a little surprised, "That, isn't it tomorrow morning's train, let's stay with your sister Xiaomin tonight!"
"Is it convenient?"
"Convenient!" Huang Xiaomin smiled.
After Huang Xiaomin took Wang Yufei home, Li Li thought about it and decided to call her mother.
This child enters Beijing alone, if she doesn't tell her mother, in case of some accident, she can't afford this responsibility, this is not alarmist, girls are not boys after all, and they are art candidates with star dreams, it is too easy to be targeted by people with ill intentions.
If something happens and I don't report it, how can I explain it to my parents?
That night, Li Li worked overtime, until 9 o'clock in the evening, Li Li hung up the phone to Aunt Ma Hong through his uncle:
"Auntie, I'm Li Li...... Do you know that your child is going to Beijing to participate in the interview......? Don't worry, I'll persuade her tomorrow...... You'll pick up the baby tomorrow, she's supposed to be on the evening train, and you'll be ...... if you arrive before 3 p.m."
Wang Yufei's ticket was at half past seven in the morning, and Li Li deliberately said that it was evening, so that when her family arrived in Spring City, Wang Yufei took the train and left.
In this way, Li Li not only gave an explanation to the Wang family, but also did not damage Wang Yufei's personal dreams, the best of both worlds.
Neither side can be offended, what happened to the child because he concealed it and did not report it, the Wang family can hate himself to death, and Wang Yufei's dream will be ruined because of his own ventilation, Wang Yufei can hate himself for the rest of his life.
Li Li had to deal with both parties, and both parties were grateful, look, he is so good at being a man, he is so witty!
Hey, in fact, to put it bluntly, it's hard to be a man!
