Chapter 201: The unwilling Yu Shengnan

October 15th.

The second episode of "Chicken Strips" was broadcast, and the ratings soared again, with an average box office of 1.93%, and the popularity of "Chicken Strips" was unstoppable.

"Chicken Strips" has become a hot topic on the whole network for a while, and major media have published comments on "Chicken Strips", saying that Wang Xiaobai has completely secured the throne of "the father of reality shows", and the two popular reality shows have proved Wang Xiaobai's ability.

Compared with the skyrocketing ratings of "Chicken Strips", "This is Life" is tragic.

After the first episode was broadcast, the word-of-mouth declined significantly, and the audience didn't buy the three new main coffees, scolded and commented, and persuaded them to be good hosts, don't come to spoil the reality show.

The ratings of the second phase plummeted, only 1.23%, and it is already an inevitable trend to fall below 1%.

Advertisers are very dissatisfied, and even a few advertisers openly and secretly say that if it declines like this, advertisers in the next season will definitely not invest any more money.

That is, CCTV, if it is replaced by another TV station, advertisers may directly choose to withdraw their investment.

No one wants to offend CCTV.

This made CCTV very anxious, and the new leader's mouth was full of bubbles.

"Shengnan, is it that the advertiser has come to you to complain again?" Looking at Yu Shengnan, who also looked tired, the new leader asked.

Yu Shengnan nodded with difficulty and said, "Yes, they said that they hope that when we plan "This is Life", we will learn the ...... of "Chicken Strips" " As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, feeling a little unwilling, and said: "This group of advertisers is getting more and more excessive, don't they know who is in charge?!"

The new leader didn't speak, but the expression on his face was very unsightly.

He had just come out of the director's office, and the director's meaning was obvious, so he had to think of a way not to let the gold signboard of "yearning" be smashed.

"Leader, you just came back from the director?" asked Yu Shengnan.

The new leader nodded.

Yu Shengnan glanced at it and asked carelessly: "Director...... What do you mean then?"

The new leader sighed and said: "The director is very dissatisfied with the decline in ratings, let us think of a solution as soon as possible." And ......" paused, he seemed a little reluctant to say, but in front of his henchmen, he still said: "What the director means is that if Wang Xiaobai can be invited back, it would be best for the original team to continue filming "Longing". ”

"But......" The muscles on Yu Shengnan's face twitched.

In order to get rid of Wang Xiaobai, they spent so much effort. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to snatch the authority from the original team. Within a few days, the director demanded that they step down, which she couldn't accept.

This is not the result she wants.

Thinking of Wang Xiaobai's tough appearance at the beginning, I will go back to talk to him at this time, and I don't know how to be humiliated by him.

She was very unwilling.

"Leader, this ...... Can you plead with the director again and give us a little more time?" Yu Shengnan said.

The new leader said: "I have begged for it." ”

"The chief...... What do you say?" Yu Shengnan looked earnest.

The director agreed, but ...... We're running out of time. The new leader shook his head slightly, with an ugly expression on his face, and said, "Let's see the results of the next period, no...... If not, let's talk about it. ”

"Leader!" Yu Shengnan shouted, extremely unwilling.

"Alright, you can get busy. The leader waved his hand, unwilling to say more on this matter.

If something happens to a show, someone must be responsible for it.

Just like when they tried hard to deny that the cooperation between their predecessors and Wang Xiaobai was unfair, Taili agreed to this statement and dismissed Wang Xiaobai, and naturally blamed the fault on the head of the previous one, and then the previous one was refrigerated, so they were replaced.

As with any struggle, it is impossible to see blood.

……

"Xiaobai, congratulations, there is another popular show. ”

As soon as the ratings of the second episode of "Chicken Strips" came out, Wang Xiaobai's phone was blown up.

And this time, it was actually the deputy director who was in charge of "Longing", and he congratulated him in a happy tone.

Wang Xiaobai was a little confused, although your old man was refrigerated because of the "yearning" thing, but now I have overturned you on the tomato platform, it stands to reason that even if you are not enemies, you can be regarded as a hostile relationship. Isn't it a bit too much for you to congratulate me so happily?

"Is this life" hit the streets?" Wang Xiaobai asked, but there was no surprise, he just didn't pay attention to the ratings of "This is Life".

"Yes, there was still 1.89% in the first episode, but after the second episode was broadcast yesterday, it was only 1.23%, and the station just had a meeting. The deputy director said.

"It fell pretty badly. Wang Xiaobai nodded, the reality show is not yet mature, and the people of CCTV have not fully figured out the routine of the reality show, so they hurriedly got rid of themselves, which can be regarded as a bitter fruit.

"Aren't you curious about what the meeting said?" asked the deputy director.

Wang Xiaobai was speechless, Deputy Taiwan Elder, your anxious appearance makes it easy for me to think that I actually stuffed money for you.

But since you've said so, wouldn't it be too shameful for me if I didn't ask?

Wang Xiaobai asked, "What did you say?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just for them to figure it out first...... But I guess they'll be coming to you soon. The deputy director's tone was full of schadenfreude.

Director, is this really the right thing for you?

Wang Xiaobai complained silently.

Then, the two chatted a few more words and hung up.

The deputy director was in a good mood and had a very high interest in talking, so Wang Xiaobai could only chat with him casually.

……

In the new week's box office, "The God of Medicine" is still unbeatable, and in the second week of the box office battle, it won the first place in the single-week box office with a total box office of 1.296 billion in a single week. Compared with the explosive box office of "The God of Medicine", the second-place single-week box office result is only a fraction of his part, only 360 million. This was originally a good box office result, but under the backdrop of the demonic "God of Medicine", it looked very miserable.

So far, "The God of Medicine" has been released for two weeks, and it has swiped a box office of 3.3 billion, and 4 billion is just around the corner.

However, at this time, "The God of Medicine" also showed fatigue.

During the National Day Golden Week, I have watched everything I should have watched two or three times, and as for those audiences who have not entered the cinema to watch movies, they will not contribute to the box office of "God of Medicine".

Therefore, on the first day of the third week, the single-day box office of "God of Medicine" fell below 100 million yuan for the first time, ranking first in the box office list with a score of 90.89 million.

And on the second day of the third week, a sci-fi blockbuster from the United States was released, which once again diverted "The God of Medicine", and the single-day box office was cut in half, only 51 million, ranking second, only half of the American blockbuster.

As a result, the media that has milk is a mother began to change the direction of the wind again.

The Beijing News article commented: "Wang Xiaobai's "God of Medicine", which won with its touching storyline and the wonderful performances of the actors, is a rare classic film in China. However, the appearance of "Watchmen 3" has made Chinese film practitioners clearly realize that domestic audiences are tired of eating delicious Chinese food and are more interested in more gorgeous and noble Western food......"

"Information Daily" published an article commenting: "Wang Xiaobai's "God of Medicine" is a classic of Chinese films, but it cannot make up for the shortcomings of Chinese films in the field of science fiction. Wang Xiaobai, as the most dazzling and outstanding director in Chinese films, is far from focusing on connotation movies, after all, there is no shortage of classics in Chinese films in connotation movies. He should try something new and take on a heavier burden......"

These comments are quite mild, but I just hope to see Wang Xiaobai make achievements in science fiction movies, and Jiangcheng Daily said directly and spicily: ""The God of Medicine" cannot lead Chinese films to go abroad and face the world. If Wang Xiaobai turns a blind eye to the current predicament of Chinese films, and continues to serve the box office, he will be an outstanding director of Chinese films, but he will also be the burial man of Chinese films......"

It is ridiculous that this kind of remark is actually recognized by the majority of the media and most of the audience.

So, a new round of cursing against Wang Xiaobai began.

"Wang Xiaobai, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, if you are only obsessed with making money and do not care about the future of Chinese films, you are worthy of being the guide of Chinese directors!"

"One day Chinese movies die, you are the biggest promoter!"

"Please, save the Chinese science fiction movie ......"

These remarks are funny and ridiculous, Wang Xiaobai obviously didn't do anything, and he was labeled as "the burying man of Chinese movies".

Wang Xiaobai is very helpless, don't force me to make a move, otherwise I will make a "Jiangcheng Fortress" for you and block the door to Chinese science fiction movies.

Looking at the comments on the Internet, Wang Xiaobai's face was very ugly.

Knock knock.

At this time, Xue Ning walked in.

"What's the matter?" Wang Xiaobai asked.

Xue Ning said: "Boss, after several months of tug-of-war negotiations between us and the production team of the return of the Great Sage, the other party is willing to sell their work team for 35 million. ”

"35 million, so high!" Wang Xiaobai was a little surprised.

"Yes, but according to the evaluation made by the professional organization we found, according to the size of their overall team of 53 people, plus some office equipment, and some intellectual property rights owned by themselves, the price of 35 million is not high. Xue Ning replied seriously.

Wang Xiaobai didn't speak.

Xue Ning continued to ask: "Boss, do you want to make a science fiction movie?"

Wang Xiaobai glanced at her and said angrily: "Who wants to make a science fiction movie!"

"But the outside world ......" Xue Ning wanted to talk about the outside world's evaluation and expectations for Wang Xiaobai, but when he saw that his face was not good, he changed his words and said: "I mean to say that science fiction movies are now a blank in China, and if the boss does it, he can not only fill this blank, but also get a high box office." I see that the plot of "Watchmen 3" is a mess, but the special effects are good, and it can have a box office of 135 million a day......"

"Innocent!" Wang Xiaobai said angrily: "Do you know how much money a science fiction movie costs and how much time and energy it takes? What if you invest one or two hundred million yuan and end up hitting the street?"

Three questions in a row, Xue Ning had nothing to say.

Wang Xiaobai swore in a low voice: Even if I use this money to buy a house and take care of the three and four children, it is impossible for me to invest in science fiction movies.

"Boss, is the Great Sage Return Studio still being acquired?" Xue Ning asked.

"Why not!"

Wang Xiaobai was stunned.

“…… If you don't make a sci-fi movie, what do you do with buying a special effects studio? Xue Ning rolled his eyes and complained silently.

"What did you say?"

"No, I'm out. ”

Seeing the boss going crazy, Xue Ning stuck out his tongue and ran away.
