The next day.

Monday morning.

Choi Min-geun came to MBC TV early.

"Are the ratings out?" As soon as he arrived at the office, Cui Mingen first asked about the ratings of the program.

"Not yet," a female writer spoke in the office, "I've already called the statistics agency, because there are many variety shows on Sunday, so the ratings for the documentary will come out later." ”

In the MBC office, the crew in charge of the documentary is also anxiously waiting for the new ratings to come out.

To be honest, although MBC ostensibly called the documentary broadcast this time the second episode, everyone at the scene knew it. The first issue of the "Infinite Challenge" documentary was all done by Shen Zhengyuan from production to shooting, so whether the outside world praised or affirmed the documentary, in fact, it had little to do with their crew.

And this second issue is the work that Cui Mingen took over and filmed with the crew.

In other words, this episode of the program is actually the first episode of the premiere program of Cui Mingen and others.

……

Al Jazeera.

Shen Zhengyuan came to the TV station much later than Cui Mingen.

Last night, the webcast of "My Little Television" was very late, and the whole program process was also exciting, far beyond Hu Shen Zhengyuan's expectations. After the live broadcast ended, the recording time was already very late, and Shen Zhengyuan, who was busy and couldn't get home until the early hours of the morning, continued to be in a state of excitement in the show, and it was no surprise that he got up late.

Fortunately, he is the president, and no one in the TV station will come to watch his working hours.

When he came to the TV station, Shen Zhengyuan first went to various departments to learn about the situation, and then went to the editing room to take a look at the production progress of the variety show clip version of "My Little Television". Although the webcast of "My Little Television" has reached a high level, it does not mean that the crew of the show can relax and there is a variety show clip version of the premiere waiting for everyone.

Although the response to the online live broadcast is enthusiastic, if the ratings of the variety show cut version are too poor, the show is still at risk of being cut.

Therefore, in the face of the premiere time of the edited version with only a few days left, the crew of "My Little Television" is also extremely cautious.

Compared with the cautious and apprehensive of the crew, Shen Zhengyuan relaxed a lot, at least judging from the enthusiastic reaction on the Internet last night, "My Little Television" is very topical, and it is also in line with his original intention of producing this show. As for the ratings of the program, as long as it is not too bad, according to the popularity of the Internet topic at the moment of the program, I think there should be many advertisers who want to advertise in the program.

Moreover, compared with the advertising restrictions on TV stations under the "Comprehensive Radio and Television Law", "My Little Television" is undoubtedly more free on the online live broadcast platform, and the Broadcasting Committee has no way to reach out to the online platform, so Shen Zhengyuan can completely accept advertisements through the online live broadcast of "My Little Television".

Even if there is only one ad in one live broadcast room, don't forget, "My Little Television" has six live broadcast rooms running at the same time.

While thinking about how to maximize the interests of the TV station through the webcast of "My Little Television", Shen Zhengyuan came to his office on the third floor of the TV station.

……

At eight o'clock in the morning, the ratings of MBC TV came out.

"It's out, it's out!"

"Nervous, not knowing if the ratings are good or bad. ”

"It shouldn't be too bad, after all, the subject of the documentary we shot is "Infinite Challenge", based on Yoo Jae-seok's popularity, the ratings shouldn't be too bad. ”

"I think so too, and according to the ratings inertia of the previous episode, the ratings will not be too bad. ”

"Ratings inertia is inertia, but after all, it has been a while from the first episode to the adaptation of the documentary into an official program, and who knows that this inertia is still there. ”

In the office, looking at the ratings table that came out, the staff was a little nervous.

As one of the three major wireless television stations in South Korea, MBC's program volume is naturally not comparable to that of Shen Jung-won's Al Jazeera. Looking at the dense ratings of the program on the table in his hand, Choi Min-geun quickly found the documentary column that was broadcast at 8 p.m. on Sunday night.

Looking back at the broadcast time on the form, Cui Mingen's expression immediately relaxed and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Choi PD, what are the ratings?"

"That's right, Cui PD, tell us quickly!"

"If you don't say anything about it, my heart is going to jump out. ”

Looking at the crew in the office, Cui Mingen smiled slightly, raised the ratings table in his hand, and said: "The ratings are not bad, everyone's efforts during this period have not been in vain, the ratings of 8.1% are not only good, but also exceed the ratings of the previous episode......"

"Infinite Challenges – Opportunities for Success. The national rating was 8.1%, the Seoul area was 8.6%, and the highest rating was 8.9%.

Hearing this, the originally nervous production team immediately began to rejoice.

"Dafa, the ratings have broken 8%. ”

"The documentary can have such ratings, Cui PD This is a record. ”

"I want to see, who else says that this is Shen Zhengyuan's show, and the ratings of our second episode are even higher than him. ”

"What else to mention Shen Zhengyuan, the ratings have already shown that not only he can shoot the documentary, but we can also shoot it at MBC, and not only that, the ratings also surpass that Shen Zhengyuan's. ”

The ratings of the documentary broke eight, which made the staff of the MBC crew very excited, although they didn't say it, but in fact, the ratings of the documentary made by Shen Zhengyuan were in the front, which inevitably caused a lot of pressure on them, the staff who filmed next. And now, with the ratings of breaking eight, everyone finally has a sense of pleasure in keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon.

Although, according to everyone's expectations, the ratings are higher, and it is best if it can break ten, after all, the highest ratings of the documentary shot by Shen Zhengyuan can almost break ten, if it breaks ten, everyone in the crew will naturally be able to show that the documentary they shoot is better than Shen Zhengyuan's.

But after thinking about it, the ratings of various TV stations are sluggish as a whole, and the documentaries they produced can have a rating of 8.1% is not bad, and it is not in vain that the TV station has made great efforts to invite So Ji-sub to appear as a narrator.

"By the way, look at the reaction on the Internet, the ratings should also be announced on the Internet. ”

After the celebration, there were suggestions to go online to see the discussion on the Internet about the ratings of the documentary.

After all, in this era, although ratings are still important, they are no longer the focus of TV stations, and sometimes the popularity of online topics is also an important indicator to measure a program.

is like MBC's "We Are Married", although the ratings are not high, but every time a new CP is formed, it will cause heated discussions on the Internet, and it is full of topicality. Therefore, MBC is happy to keep the show in production.

Hearing that someone suggested going online to take a look, Cui Mingen did not stop it, in fact, he also wanted to see the discussion on the Internet about the documentary he filmed.

"What's going on?"

However, when I clicked on the website, the situation on the Internet was completely beyond the expectations of everyone in the office.
