Chapter 144: Why do you need to raise the file!
Although the 10 o'clock file is known as the "quasi-prime time", it is basically limited to weekends, and it is only aimed at office workers and student parties, and another group of new force of TV drama viewers - housewives, because they have to get up early the next day to prepare breakfast for their husbands and children, it is impossible to stay up until the early hours of the morning because of a TV series.
Therefore, it is fortunate that the ratings of this time period can reach 1.5 points, and when it reaches 2.5, it can be described as a hit, of course, occasionally there will be a vigorous drama or a hot reality show, which can raise the ratings to 5 or even 8 o'clock, which is already a grand event in the TV industry.
And "Huanzhu Gege", which hit an ungodly score of 18 points in the first three days of broadcasting!
The next day, the whole network exploded, and everyone was discussing this refreshing, cheerful and light-hearted TV series, while spreading the incredible number "18" with shock, which was auspicious and powerful, and easily occupied the first place of the hot topic of the day's microblog, and the second place was "Huanzhu Gege".
When the ocean "Dashang Palace" and Xingyue "Palace 2", which used all kinds of means in the early stage, were launched, they were unexpectedly stolen little by little by the pitiful TV series that borrowed their own east wind and had no publicity budget, no, it should be a lot of stealing the limelight.
At the same time, there are not many TV people across the country who are stunned by the ratings table released by CMS, the most authoritative ratings survey professional company in China. Incredible.
There is not only the jealousy of being a peer, but also the joy and pride of joining this industry, the feelings are very complicated, and the feelings are very conflicted, after all, this is a victory for the TV industry.
And the executive general manager of GTV, the TV station that created the miracle of zĂ o, showed an expression on his face when faced with this number. Certainly more wonderful than anyone else.
Gong Chengpin carefully looked at the statistics three times, and finally confirmed that the decimal point was not wrong, and then dialed the CMS company for final confirmation.
"There is no problem with the number, Mr. Gong, the rating of your station's "Huanzhu Gege" on the evening of the 18th was 18:6, which really set a new record. â
When Gong Chengpin said "thank you", he was rarely mixed with a slight tremor, and after hanging up the phone, his hands habitually crossed and clenched. His elbows were rested on his desk, his eyes were deep in thought, and his expression seemed calm.
About a minute and a half later, Gong Chengpin took a deep breath and took out his mobile phone to dial Gong Chengen's number.
"Little En. I'm ready to shift gears. â
Gong Chengpin didn't say a superfluous word, but just gave such a conclusion.
"This. I'm going to discuss it with Gu Shuai. â
"Discuss?"
"Yes. He said before, if you talk to me about the file adjustment, I will discuss it with him. â
"No need, you give me his number, and I'll tell him directly. â
"Okay, then you can say it first. â
Gong Chengpin hung up Gong Chengen's phone. Turning his head to look out the window, his fingers subconsciously tapping on his phone, those who really know him will know that this is a reaction to his anxious mood.
Gong Chengen's text message came quickly. Gong Chengpin glanced at it, and then pressed the number.
"Dut...... Honk...... Feed. â
Liu Jingting's calm voice came over the phone.
"Hello Mr. Gu, I'm Gong Chengpin. Gong Chengpin said in a calmer voice, he definitely shouldn't be more excited than Gu Yongsheng in this matter.
"Oh, hello Mr. Gong, is it a matter of file adjustment?"
Gong Chengpin paused for a moment and said, "Yes, I don't know what Mr. Gu thinks?"
"With all due respect, no need to tune. â
"Why?"
"The reason why Guitai made this decision is naturally to fight against the ocean, but their "Dashang Palace" has a total of 60 episodes, while "Huanzhu Gege" only has 24 episodes, that is to say, we have finished playing it twice, and they haven't finished it once, and this kind of confrontation has failed to maximize the benefits. â
"Mr. Nagu means ......"
"Withdraw the online video, and replay it in prime time ten days later. Liu Jingting said unhurriedly.
"Replay?"
"Yes. â
Gong Chengpin pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Gu shouldn't know that the ratings of the replay will be half discounted, right?"
"Mr. Gong didn't expect this drama to achieve such results?"
Two questions convey two messages, in the history of television in this world, there has never been a precedent for a replay drama to fight a new drama, which is what Gong Seungpin meant.
Your first judgment on "Huanzhu Gege" is wrong, then the subsequent judgment will only be wrong and wrong, the rules of this game are in my hands, this is what Gu Yongsheng meant.
Obviously, at this time, Gu Yongsheng's meaning is more interesting.
"Of course, you can also consult your grandfather, and I'm sure he will feel the same way as me. Liu Jingting prompted.
"I respect your wishes, Mr. Gu, but I am afraid that it is unrealistic to withdraw the video, and we have cooperation. â
Liu Jingting said with a smile: "Your cooperation should be in "Gong Zhong Ji", as for "Huanzhu Gege", I reasonably speculate that it should not have entered your contract process yet, Mr. Gong, let me be conceited to say that when the first broadcast is over, you can at least raise the price of this drama a thousand times, if you say something wrong, please don't laugh." â
Gong Chengpin was silent, in fact, when he made sure that the ratings were accurate, he was thinking about advertising fees, network copyrights, cooperation intentions of other TV stations, etc., according to the momentum of "Huanzhu Gege" at this time, even Gong Chengpin could not accurately estimate the value that this drama could produce in the end.
When Gu Yongsheng said "a thousand times" lightly, a thought suddenly flashed in Gong Chengpin's heart: Gu Yongsheng will get ten percent of the final income of this drama!
That's right, like Gong Chengen, Gu Yongsheng's way of participating in this drama is to share dividends instead of getting paid directly, according to Gu Yongsheng's contribution to this drama, ten percent is really reasonable, at that time, when Gong Chengpin swept the contract, he even thought about whether to mention another point, because according to the estimate at the time, ten percent was only two or three hundred thousand at most, and it also included personal income tax, for the top best-selling author Gu Yongsheng, this remuneration was completely disproportionate to the labor he paid.
However, now it seems that this point is very willing to be the salary of a third-rate actor.
"I just let you know. In the end, the decision will be made after the meeting informs you. â
"Okay, thank you. â
After Gong Chengpin hung up Gu Yongsheng's phone, he saved the string of numbers, and was about to dial the phone of his grandfather's house, when the landline of the desk suddenly rang, and he heard the secretary say: "General manager, the general manager of Youzai Video is on Line 2, and the general manager of Souki Video is on Line 4." â
Gong Chengpin thought for a while and said, "Reply said that a meeting is underway." â
"Good. â
Sure enough, as Gu Yongsheng expected. This thought inexplicably crossed Gong Chengpin's mind, and then the vigilance in his heart flashed.
Gong Chengpin called his grandfather's house again, and after ringing for a long time, he heard a woman's voice: "Hello, this is Mr. Gong's house." â
"Aunt Quan?" Aunt Quan is the palace nanny.
"Young Master?"
"Where's Grandpa?"
"I went to the TV station. â
"Okay. â
Gong Chengpin immediately hung up the phone. Get up and leave the office, just out the office door. I met Deputy Manager Xiao head-on.
"General Manager. Here comes the chairman. â
"Where?"
"Second Young Master. â
Gong Chengpin buttoned up his suit and strode towards the office of the drama team.
âŚâŚ
"I'm just grinding ink, and the main line and branches of the story are controlled by Director Liu. â
Gong Chengpin stood five or six meters away from the drama team, because he saw that his grandfather was chatting with the members of the drama team, and the girl who spoke looked cramped and nervous than when he saw the big star.
"Doing things in Xingyue is one of the essential qualities. The credit for the change must be boldly received. â
Gong Yuanhe, who was dressed in casual clothes, said kindly, looking not like an emperor of an entertainment empire at all, but a kind grandfather who was educating his granddaughter.
"Chairman, I'm not modest. The team leader can testify. Zhang Xiao smiled slightly and pointed at Gong Chengen.
"This estimate is only Director Liu has the right to speak, but I can relay his words, before the TV broadcast, Director Liu specially instructed me, he said, in the column of TV drama screenwriters, Zhang Xiao's name must be written in front. â
Gong Chengen said seriously, Zhang Xiao's face immediately showed a touch of emotion and surprise, and he wanted to justify, but he heard the chairman smile and say: "All the staff involved in this show have awards, and none of them can escape." â
At this time, Gong Chengpin finally stepped forward and said respectfully: "Chairman, you are here." â
Gong Yuanhe turned his face and bowed slightly, and then, all the members of the drama team, including Gong Chengen, shouted "general manager" in unison, and Gong Chengpin nodded in response.
"I just came over and looked, and it was fine. â
"I have something to ask the chairman. â
"Well, let's talk to the office, Xiao En will come too. â
âŚâŚ
When Gong Yuanhe, Gong Chengpin, and Gong Chengen's ancestors and grandsons were talking, a five-person meeting was also being held in the Longchuan Building, the base camp of Ocean TV.
"The biggest question now is whether Xingyue will adjust the file, depending on the momentum of that show, if it is really transferred to the prime file, it is estimated that it will be able to break through twenty-five. â
"The Internet is full of calls for upgrading, and it is estimated that Gong Chengpin's kid will not let go of this opportunity. â
"I just can't understand," said a middle-aged man sitting in the center of the show, shaking his head, "where is the selling point of this show?"
This question stumped the five people present, and they naturally didn't know that this show had also won the ratings championship in the thirteenth rebroadcast.
"The elements of the Qing Palace, the plot is simple and relaxed, and the common people fly on the branches and become phoenixes," a bespectacled young man sitting on the far left tried to conclude, "and it also includes most of the elements of idol dramas." â
"It should be the idea of Cinderella becoming a princess that won the audience," the middle-aged man captured this message, "grasped the theme of returning the pearls, and the sentence 'Do you remember the summer rain lotus on the shore of Daming Lake', leaving a certain amount of suspense." â
This sentence is almost becoming an Internet buzzword. The other man smiled wryly.
"It's also a factor that keeps creating buzz and attracting more and more viewers to join. â
"Okay, that's it for the analysis, let's talk about countermeasures. â
Silent.
"Improvisation?" said the young man tentatively.
Everyone neither agreed nor raised objections, and in the end, everyone was a little shocked by the out-of-the-box "Huanzhu Gege".
"Then let's see Xingyue's moves, and continue to pay attention to tonight's situation. â
âŚâŚ
For TV people and TV drama fans, the night of January 19th is destined to be a sleepless night, everyone is waiting or looking forward to the new miracle of "Huanzhu Gege", there have been at least five forums on the Internet to open a bet, everyone is betting on whether the ratings of "Huanzhu Gege" can break 20 tonight, surpassing "Dashang Palace" and "Gong Zhongji 2" in one fell swoop.
The stars and moons can't sleep;
The sea people can't sleep;
The heads of satellite TV, local TV, and several major video websites can't sleep;
The gradually forming "pearl fans" can't sleep;
Many viewers who watched the excitement couldn't sleep;
The staff of the CMS company could not sleep;
âŚâŚ
This night, everyone is a pearl returner!
This night is as long as a century!
However, the sun rose as usual the next day.
but
Today's release of the viewing table seems to be much slower than in the past, and white-collar workers and students who have just woken up are holding their mobile phones or flipping through their tablets, waiting for the miracle to be born with sleepy eyes.
But unfortunately, until the time to get up, the number has not been announced, and countless people are disappointed to throw away their electronic products and get up to wash up and prepare for a new day of study and work.
Then on the way to class or work, continue to refresh the news.
It wasn't until 8:20 a.m. that CMS finally released the statistic:
The ratings statistics of "Huanzhu Gege" at 10 o'clock in the evening on January 19 are 33%!
The first TV series in the history of this world television to break through 30 points is finally born!
"Huanzhu Gege" doesn't need to be raised, it still completes the Korean drama "Dashang Palace" and his own friend drama "Palace 2"! (To be continued......)
