Jiangcheng Satellite TV No. 1 conference room.

This is the place where the top management of the TV station holds regular meetings.

Today's regular meeting topic is mainly about the scheduling of programs during the National Day, although, many people will choose to travel during today's long holiday, but in this rare holiday, more people will choose to stay at home and rest for a few days, so that the National Day holiday is also known as the Golden Week of ratings by David TV, and it has gradually become the "battlefield" of the ratings war of each David TV.

Almost all first-line satellite TV will launch special programs for the National Day, and each David TV will also take out the high-quality dramas purchased to seize the market during the National Day Golden Week.

Originally, the senior executives of Jiangcheng Satellite TV at today's regular meeting were to determine the program schedule during the National Day Golden Week, but the "conflict incident" between Liu Dabin and Chen Lingyi was first brought to the table for discussion.

Because this incident happened in Chen Lingyi's office, and Liu Dabin was an "intruder", coupled with Duan Jun's truthful report that Liu Dabin was suspected of making trouble after drinking, therefore, in the end, the senior management of the TV station decided to give Liu Dabin a punishment of criticism in the station, and deducted a quarter's bonus.

This kind of punishment is completely painless for Liu Dabin, and the notification of criticism is just a formality, even if the station does not report criticism, half of the TV station knows about such a big thing in the morning, as for deducting a quarter's bonus, Liu Dabin doesn't care, the TV station's bonus is not enough for him to eat a meal.

However, the only thing that made Liu Dabin feel depressed was that in this confrontation with Chen Lingyi, he completely lost the upper hand, making him lose face.

"Leaders, Chen Tai, I didn't handle things well in the morning, I admit this, but Director Chen's approach is too ridiculous, he spent 2 million yuan to buy a three-no online drama per episode, our Jiangcheng Satellite TV has money, but we can't squander it like this!"

Liu Dabin said in a weird way, this is also his main point of attack to fight back against Chen Lingyi, after all, it doesn't make sense to spend 2 million per episode to buy an "online drama" there.

"Director Chen, how do you explain this?"

Liu Dabin's words fell, and Deputy Director Xiao Ding immediately echoed the question, he is one of the minority shareholders of Jiangcheng Satellite TV, and he is also the force behind Liu Dabin, of course, he wants to support Liu Dabin at this time.

"This is just a regular drama purchase operation of the content department, and there is nothing to explain. Chen Lingyi looked disappreciative, and added: "The National Day Golden Week is approaching, and the drama I purchased is very suitable for broadcasting during the Golden Week, and as the director of the content department, I still have this right." ”

"It's no problem to buy dramas, but there is so much premium, how do you explain it?" Xiao Ding continued to ask with a cold face.

"Premium?"

Chen Lingyi snorted coldly: "Where do you start with the words Deputy Director Xiao? How do you tell that I bought it at a premium? Have you watched the drama? Or have you listened to the villain's family!!"

"This ......"

Xiao Ding was immediately knotted by Chen Lingyi's tongue, he really just listened to Liu Dabin's description, and he didn't know anything about the specific situation of the series, so Chen Lingyi asked him like a cannon at this time, but he directly stopped him.

"The leading actors are all newcomers, directors, screenwriters, and all of them are unknowns, and the producer is a small company that has only done a few street fighting web dramas, which can be worth 2 million per episode? Liu Dabin had already investigated Genesis Entertainment and "Love Apartment" clearly before the meeting, and when he saw that Xiao Ding couldn't handle it, he immediately jumped out and retorted coldly.

Chen Lingyi didn't panic at all, and said slowly: "The starring role of "Love Apartment" is a newcomer, but there are cameos by Li Ziwei and Wang Min, as we all know, these two rarely appear in TV series, which is a good selling point in itself, and the theme song of "Love Apartment" "My Future Style" has become popular on the Internet, and the singer is the original singer of "Health Song" and the cutting-edge idol singer Li Duo, in addition, the songwriter of "My Future Style" is also Yun Yan, who is now popular in the music world!"

"Also, the screenwriter of this drama is not an unknown person as Deputy Director Liu said, its screenwriter is the famous domestic writer Hu Zuozuo, his works have just been included in the textbooks, and in addition, people also have a well-known nickname on the Internet: the head of the group!"

"Deputy Director Liu, please do your homework when you find fault in the future!"

Chen Lingyi's words are valid even if they are exaggerated, what they say is reasonable, the screenwriter plays a vital role in the quality of a drama, so the screenwriter is Hu Zuozuo, after all, Hu Zuozuo is very popular during this time.

In fact, Chen Lingyi only learned that the screenwriter of "Love Apartment" was Hu Zuozuo when he signed the contract this morning, because the sample film does not have an intro, so there is no relevant information about the episode, but there is a detailed mark in the contract.

"How good can a TV series with a children's writer as a screenwriter be!" Liu Dabin looked disdainful and snorted coldly: "Besides, even with such a configuration, it's not worth 2 million episodes, and this price can completely buy a drama with second-tier stars to play the leading role." ”

"I disagree with Deputy Director Liu's point of view, the quality of a drama does not depend on how many stars there are in the drama, and there are fewer dramas with ratings as a result of the gathering of big names?

"I understand what Director Chen meant, in the final analysis, you are personally very optimistic about that "Love Apartment", right?"

You can understand it that way, too. Chen Lingyi nodded.

Hearing this, Xiao Ding smiled lightly: "That's easy to do, since Director Chen is so optimistic about that "Love Apartment", whether it is a mule or a horse, let's just take it out!"

"However, it is unrealistic for a drama without the blessing of stars to be broadcast in the prime time of Golden Week, and the prime-time dramas have long been determined, and the publicity has begun, I suggest that "Love Apartment" be broadcast at midnight, and now young people sleep late, especially during the long holiday, if "Love Apartment" is really as good as Director Chen said, the ratings will naturally not be bad!"

After the words fell, Xiao Ding looked at Hong Zhentao, the director of the "Program Editor-in-Chief Department" who was in charge of the program scheduling: "Director Hong, the midnight slot of the National Day Golden Week is still empty, right?"

"It's empty. Hong Zhentao nodded.

"Director Chen, is my suggestion acceptable?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiao Ding looked at Chen Lingyi again, the midnight file is the lowest rated time period, and he naturally wanted to let "Love Apartment" be left to fend for itself when he scheduled it to the midnight file.

However, Chen Lingyi smiled coldly and did not refuse: "No problem, just midnight!"

In fact, Chen Lingyi has long known that "Love Apartment" will not have the opportunity to be on prime time, as Xiao Ding said, it is indeed unrealistic for a new drama to be on prime time, or the prime time of Golden Week, so the time slots available to Chen Lingyi are actually only morning files, afternoon files and midnight files.

The morning file of Golden Week is actually not good, because most of them are sleeping lazy, and the afternoon file of Golden Week is usually arranged for the rebroadcast of variety shows with super high ratings, and the competition pressure is very high, but the competition in the midnight file is small, and, as Xiao Ding said, young people sleep late now, and "Love Apartment" may not really be cold when placed in the midnight file.
