The more than hour-long "The Masked Singer" ended the first episode in suspense.

Look at the TV screen as the program finishes playing the incoming commercial.

Li Xiuman turned his head and asked the man beside him.

"How?"

"It was wonderful. Turning his gaze away from the TV, Kim Young-min sighed, "I can't imagine that it was a program produced by a cable station." ”

"It seems that you still have a big prejudice against cable stations. Hearing this, Li Xiuman laughed.

Although the outside world hyped up the relationship between him and Kim Yingmin, thinking that the two were-for-tat in the brokerage company, the actual situation was far less exaggerated than the outside world described. Although Lee so-man and Kim Young-min are not very good, they are not necessarily that bad.

Especially in recent years, Lee so-man has begun to be powerless in matters within the company, and has gradually changed from the original role of real power to a symbolic figure, which has led to a change in the attitude of the board of directors, and also made Kim Young-min gradually appear in some aspects from the original role of checks and balances.

After all, in the final analysis, if something really goes wrong with this big ship, in fact, it is not a good thing for both Lee so-man and Kim Young-min.

"It's not that I'm prejudiced against wired stations," shook his head, and Kim Yingmin replied: "It's just that most wired stations really don't have much ability, and they are far inferior to wireless stations in terms of resources and connections." ”

In the face of Kim Yingmin's words, Li Xiuman was undeniable.

Indeed, as he said, most cable stations do not have much energy like mud that can't support the wall, and even the vast majority of these TV stations often can't even get a decent program, and purely rely on buying the variety show rights of wireless stations to survive.

"However, it is clear that President Shen is not among the ranks of Al Jazeera. Reaching out and pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Li Xiuman said to Kim Youngmin.

However, to be honest, although I have tried my best to look forward to the new show mentioned by Shen Zhengyuan, the performance of "The Masked Singer" is still beyond Li Xiuman's original idea. The show is obviously a variety show with a very mature design, both in terms of conception and program arrangement.

"Definitely. ”

nodded, but Kim Yingmin did not agree to Li Xiuman's proposal to cooperate with the TV station one step further.

After all, the actual person in power, he still needs to think about it, and it is too childish to make a decision just based on the premiere of one episode of the show.

What's more, deep down in Kim Young-min's heart, he is actually more inclined to cooperate with a more famous cable TV station like JTBC.

Of course, although he has his own thoughts in his heart, Kim Yingmin doesn't want to ruin the relationship between himself and Lee so-man who has finally eased up because of this incident, "However, I still think that it is more appropriate to talk about cooperation after the ratings come out." ”

"After all, although the show seems interesting to us, if the audience doesn't buy it......"

Speaking of which, Kim Young-min remembered the scripts of those TV dramas that the agency had recently looked for, which seemed just as interesting to them, but when they were actually filmed.

Li Xiuman nodded, obviously hearing the meaning of Kim Youngmin's words.

Although he is optimistic about "The Masked Singer" produced by Shen Zhengyuan TV, he also knows that the final decision is still the market.

Ratings are the final result.

Therefore, although he was unhappy in his heart, Lee so-man reluctantly accepted Kim Young-min's suggestion: "Since that's the case, then let's wait a little longer, and make a decision after the ratings come out." ”

It's just that Li Xiuman has doubts about whether he can still occupy the active position.

……

Sunday, early in the morning.

Xu is because variety shows on Saturdays and Sundays are the focus of attention of various TV stations.

The time given by the ratings statistics agency is also very early, and yesterday's ratings have been counted at six or seven o'clock in the morning and put on the Internet.

According to the ratings ranking given by the statistical agency, the first place in the ratings is still "Infinite Challenge", this national variety show has gone through nearly ten years, and the ratings still maintain a strong momentum.

With 13.4%, it occupies the top spot in the ratings of Saturday variety shows.

In second place is SBS's 10,000-year-old variety show "Challenge a Thousand Songs", but, compared with the strong momentum of "Infinite Challenge", the ratings of "Challenge a Thousand Songs" have obviously declined, and the ratings of "Challenge a Thousand Songs" have dropped by 3% compared with the previous period, leaving only the ratings of the latest episode of the program only 10.2%, almost falling below the double-digit ratings.

If the ranking of the top two variety shows on Saturday is still decent, then the third-place show is enough to shock the audience who saw the ranking on the Internet.

Because, the variety show that ranked third in "Challenging a Thousand Songs" was "The Masked Singer", which just premiered on Al Jazeera this week.

Because it was a premiere, the ratings given by the statistical agency were only a lonely number, and they did not show any increase or decrease from the previous period.

However, with a rating of 8.453%, many people are still stunned.

"The Masked Singer" No. 3 No. 3 is not a joke? Sure it's not the ratings statistics agency that miscalculated, it's actually 4.53%?!Well, even if Al Jazeera has carried out vigorous publicity before the show aired, and teamed up with the national MC Jiang Hudong to challenge the news topic of the Saturday variety show, the creativity of the program content is also very novel. However, even so, the rating of 8.453% is a bit exaggerated.

When did the ratings of the cable station become so powerful.

even ran directly to the top three in the Saturday variety show ratings, you must know that the first two variety shows in "The Masked Singer" are all wireless TV programs.

Now everyone understands why the ratings of "Challenge a Thousand Songs" have dropped so much, it turns out that they are all influenced by "The Masked Singer". Two programs of the same type competed with each other, and it was obvious that "The Masked Singer" successfully pulled the viewers who originally belonged to "Challenge a Thousand Songs" over.

A variety show with a cable station can compete with the programs of multiple wireless stations, such a result is shocking enough.

Of course, what is even more shocking is that "The Masked Singer" was able to beat many variety shows, especially wireless TV variety shows, and directly became the third place in Saturday variety shows as a dark horse. For a while, everyone's eyes on "The Masked Singer" were completely different, just kidding, this is a variety show that can compete with wireless variety shows for ratings.

As a pay TV station, it was stunned to run out of the ratings of the wireless station.

In a trance, everyone felt that a Luo Yingxi PD appeared.
