September 19th.

After a series of advertisements, "Soldier Assault", which had been warmed up on TV for a week, was officially released.

In order to urge Wang Xiaobai to launch the project of "Chicken Strips" as soon as possible, Tomato Channel has tilted many resources to "Soldier Assault", and brainwashed three times a day with advertising, and the audience is also somewhat interested in this special military-themed TV series.

In addition, in the final battle of "Longing", Wang Xiaobai asked the actors of "Soldier" to be guests in "Longing".

In the last issue of "Longing", Wang Baobao showed a different style from the big screen, making people realize that this young man is not as wooden as on the big screen, but a very lively and thoughtful young man.

may be the reason for the last issue, the ratings of "Longing" exploded directly, and the final ratings once approached 4%. But it's a pity that the heat is still a little worse, and the final rating of 3.89% has no chance to break 4, which makes CCTV people cry out for pity, and it also strengthens their idea of making "Longing" by themselves.

After the end of the first season of "Longing", CCTV and Xingchen Dahai, the copyright owner, had a tacit understanding and did not talk about the second season.

The people of Xingchen Haihai are busy promoting Wang Xiaobai's new movie, promoting "Soldier", and preparing for "Chicken Strips", which has not yet started filming but has already been approved, but they just ignored "Longing".

CCTV is also looking for a few CCTV hosts to be the main coffee, and is intensively preparing for their own "reality show".

It is said that before the new reality show was filmed, advertisers had already smelled the smell of blood and followed suit.

Advertising space has also increased, and advertising costs have also increased a lot.

The advertising revenue on TV alone has directly brought 600 million to CCTV, and they have begun to celebrate each other.

But as for whether these advertisers make money or lose money in the end, it depends on the ratings.

But these have nothing to do with Wang Xiaobai.

"Longing", a big IP that once brought hundreds of millions of revenue to the company, has been completely sealed in the database.

Unless there are special circumstances, it can no longer be started.

These are all off-topic.

In short, after the vigorous publicity of Tomato Channel and Wang Xiaobai, "Soldier" has gathered a group of audiences.

At the moment, they are just waiting for the TV series to air.

Time passed quickly, and at half past eight, the TV series finally started.

A pure music opening, the wonderful content flashes by, and the feature film begins.

The first ten minutes of "Soldier" are very exciting, which whetts the audience's appetite.

But after this plot, the flashback tells about Xu Sanduo's joining the army, which is a nest, wooden, weak, and even full of stupidity, which makes the audience feel very aggrieved.

", this TV series is toxic, how handsome that guy was in the first episode, why did he become this nest in a blink of an eye?"

"Xu Sanduo reminds me of those bad colleagues I met in my life, I really don't know how a person can be so stupid!"

"The screenwriter of this TV series is really Wang Xiaobai, not that he spent 200 yuan to find a gunman to write it?"

"This plot is really watery, and the image of Xu Sanduo is really unpleasant. ”

"I originally thought that Wang Baobao would change his acting style after filming "Thai Embarrassment". He has indeed changed, from being relegated to being mentally retarded!"

"To be honest, I didn't hate Wang Baobao so much, but after watching two episodes of "Soldier", as soon as I saw his aggrieved head bowing and rolling his eyes, I couldn't wait to get into the TV and slap him twice!

"Bad review!"

"Originally, I came for the screenwriter Wang Xiaobai, but I didn't expect it to be consumed!"

“……”

Of course, there is scolding, there is praise.

"Xu Sanduo's nest bag does make me feel a nameless fire in my heart, but maybe what Wang Xiaobai wants to express in this TV series is an idea - the army is a steel furnace, and any garbage that goes into it will look like it will be smelted into steel. I don't know if my guess is correct, so I kept a wait-and-see attitude. ”

"In our concept, soldiers shed blood, sweat and tears, and although Xu Sanduo has subverted our traditional concepts, who can know if these steely men are so iron-blooded before they join the army? ”

After the two episodes of the TV series were broadcast, there was a lot of heated discussion on the Internet, and "Soldier" also became a hot topic that night, but unfortunately, eight and a half of the ten comments were scolded.

This TV series subverted people's inherent image of iron-blooded soldiers, and made most viewers hate Xu Sanduo.

In the midst of the scolding, the ratings statistics came out quickly.

"Is the data correct? Is there a missing number in front of it?"

Looking at the freshly released ratings statistics table, Zhou Changxiong, the boss of the copyright department, asked his subordinates in disbelief.

"Director, I asked people to confirm it more than five times, and I was tired of asking each other, saying that this rating is absolutely right. The subordinate said helplessly.

"How could this be......" Zhou Changxiong put the ratings statistics table on the table, leaned back in his chair weakly, and muttered to himself.

Thinking of the scene where Wang Xiaobai confidently gambled with himself that day, Zhou Changxiong couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat, fortunately he signed a gambling agreement with him, otherwise he would have lost a lot of money.

Zhou Changxiong's expression is obviously not because the ratings of "Soldier" exploded, but the opposite.

Under the vigorous promotion of Tomato Channel and "Longing", "Soldier" had a rating of 0.6% before it was broadcast, and ten minutes before the broadcast, the ratings soared all the way to 1.2%. Logically speaking, this will be a TV series with explosive ratings.

But who would have thought that in the next hour or so, the ratings of "Soldier" will plummet from the highest point of 1.32%, like opening the floodgates.

After the second episode was broadcast, the ratings fell directly to 0.68%, only a little higher than before the broadcast, who believes this?

This rating, I'm completely sorry for the prime time slot of half past eight.

Jingle bells!

At this time, the phone in Zhou Changxiong's office rang, and it was the leader of the station who called.

I don't know what was said over there, Zhou Changxiong just hung up the phone after a few words of "uh-huh-oh".

Looking at Zhou Changxiong's ugly expression after answering the phone, his subordinates asked, "Director, what did the leader say?"

"The station is very dissatisfied with the ratings of "Soldier", so let's make way for other TV dramas, and from next Tuesday, the broadcast time period of "Soldier" will be moved to half past ten. Zhou Changxiong said.

The subordinates expected this to happen when they saw the ratings, but they still asked, "What about the sea of stars?"

"Do you think they will have the face to oppose it if the ratings continue to decline?" Zhou Changxiong glared.

The subordinates had nothing to say.

……

It's not just Tomato Channel that is staring at the ratings of "Soldier", but also CCTV.

"Only 0.68 ratings?"

"Yes, given such a good resource, it is actually only this rating. ”

"It's good that we didn't participate in the auction of "Soldier", otherwise we would have waited to eat and hang. ”

"yes, it's still a wise leader. ”

"Heh, he thought that if he was lucky enough to shoot a popular reality show, he would be able to run rampant in the TV circle? Hehe, he is still very tender, and he is nothing without CCTV! If he doesn't teach him a lesson this time, he doesn't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has. ”

“……”

This is a dialogue within CCTV, and the words are full of joy and schadenfreude.

……

Beijing Film Studio, Wu Jun also got the premiere ratings of "Soldier", his face was extremely ugly, and director Kang Lei smoked on the side without saying a word.

"Lao Kang, take a look, this is the Wang Xiaobai you are optimistic about?" Wu Jun knocked on the table, and was very dissatisfied with his old friend.

Kang Lei continued to smoke and remained silent.

"He Wang Xiaobai thought that if he ran rampant in the film market, he would be able to eat all TV dramas? I had known that this was the result, and I would stop him from saying anything, and I didn't want him to make any gambling agreement with Tomato Channel! Now it's okay, the TV series that was supposed to make sure that it didn't lose money will now make a little profit at most. Wu Jun complained again and again, and he was even more resentful of Wang Xiaobai.

Kang Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't there any money to be made." ”

"Our Beijing Film Studio lacks these hundreds of thousands of millions? Don't forget, in order to shoot this TV series, we owe a lot of favors to the troops. Now that the TV series is hitting the streets, where can we repay this favor?"

The more Wu Jun spoke, the angrier he became.

Kang Lei could only bear it silently, and at the same time pondered, what is going on?

It shouldn't be.

……

Compared with others who are either gloating, despairing, or complaining, Wang Xiaobai seems very leisurely.

In the company, Murong Bing, Wang Baobao and others gathered together.

They also got the premiere ratings of "Soldier" from Tomato Channel for the first time.

Murong Bing and the others looked worried, Wang Baobao lowered his head, and his mood was very low.

The word-of-mouth and ratings of "Soldier" hit the street, pouring cold water on the head of this hot guy in the film market.

The fight on the street of "Soldier" has also caused this team, which has never tasted failure since its inception, suffered a heavy blow, and if it is connected with the rift with CCTV, Wang Xiaobai's myth is about to be broken, and the internal will face a greater shock.

The building is going to fall.

Compared with the depressed expressions of others, Wang Xiaobai was very indifferent.

He looked at the crowd and said, "Why do you have this expression? Is this data very bad?"

"What do you say? It's only 0.68 ratings, not even 1% ......" Liu Wenya saw him smiling happily, said a little angrily, and deliberately emphasized the data of "0.68".

"0.68 isn't enough? Wang Xiaobai said with satisfaction.

A group of people looked at him, wondering if he said this on purpose to boost morale.

Wang Xiaobai's satisfaction is not pretended, whether the final score of the premiere of "Soldier" in the original time and space is 0.68 or not, this TV series still relied on the second round of broadcast to become popular, and finally became a phenomenal TV series.

Looking at Wang Baobao, Wang Xiaobai said: "Yo, what's wrong with our mascot? ”

Wang Baobao tried to make a happy expression, but that expression was more ugly than crying.

Wang Xiaobai hurriedly said: "Don't, don't...... You're still crying......"

Everyone laughed.

"Brother, you say, I'...... Am I particularly unqualified as an actor?" Wang Baobao said with a depressed expression, hoping to find some confidence from Wang Xiaobai.

Wang Xiaobai lived up to his expectations and said with encouragement: "Don't think so much, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself, the potential itself has nothing to do with you." ”

“……”

Smack!

A tear ran down his face.

It's ugly to cry.

Murong Bing glared at Wang Xiaobai and said to Wang Baobao: "Baby, Xiaobai is just teasing you, don't put too much pressure on yourself." ”

"Alright, put away this expression, it's not time to cry yet. Wang Xiaobai was a little serious and said: "Three days! It only takes three days, and you will see the birth of a phenomenal TV series." ”

The crowd was skeptical of his words.

So, Wang Xiaobai made a killer move.

"Don't believe it, let's make a bet! Wenya, you are the general manager of the company, starting with you, you will take your salary and bonuses for a year......"

"Oh, it's almost two o'clock, I'm going home for a beauty sleep......" Liu Wenya stretched out, didn't hear anything, and left directly from the president's office.

"Lao Mu, you are the company's No. 4 employee, come, you make a sample, let's take your director of "Hong Kong" as a dividend......"

"Huh, someone is talking, it seems that I've stayed up too late lately, and I'm hallucinating, and I have to go back to sleep......"

"Baby, you're the male lead......"

"Brother, I'm a little hungry, go eat some barbecue, do you want me to bring you some back?"

"Brother Bo, you ......"

"Brother Shan......"

"Everyone, stay and gamble happily......"

Wang Xiaobai begged bitterly.

Bang la blah.

In the lively office, everyone dispersed as birds and beasts, and for a while, only Wang Xiaobai was left alone.

"Damn! a bunch of white-eyed wolves, in vain I was so good to you, I forgot that one year you were hospitalized with hemorrhoids, and I went to the hospital to see you......"8)
