On November 19th, Asia TV broadcast the Shenzhen chapter of "A Bite of Xiangjiang" produced by Ranfeng Film and Television on time, which attracted a lot of attention in Hong Kong.

Ordinary viewers are more curious, and the pro-mainland crowd is naturally happy with the behavior of ATV and Ran Feng, while the pro-Taiwanese audience is extremely annoyed by the broadcast of this show.

But whether you like it or you are annoyed, it is an indisputable fact that the show produced by Ran Feng that night hit a new high in ratings.

That night, at the beginning of the program, the ratings were not much different from before, stable at about 23 percent, but after the theme of the program was determined to be Shenzhen, the ratings of the program began to rise slowly, and finally the highest ratings stayed at 40 percent, and the average rating of the whole episode was 31 percent, setting a new high for the program.

The next Sunday, Jiang Ran did not arrive at the company, had just eaten breakfast, and was about to accompany his mother to the dining room at home when the phone in the living room rang.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Ran!" Jiang Ran dropped the coat in his hand, walked to pick up the phone and said.

"Ah Ran, it's me, Qiu Degen!" a steady voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Qiu, hello, is there something wrong with calling so early?" Jiang Ran was surprised for a while, but then after thinking about it, he probably knew the reason for Qiu Degen's call.

"Ah Ran, yesterday's ratings of the Shenzhen chapter of "A Bite of Xiangjiang" hit a new high for this program. However, because of this show, I have not been at peace from last night to this morning, and people keep calling. ”

Qiu Degen's voice looked a little tired, obviously he was harassed a little seriously because of this show.

In fact, when Jiang Ran first proposed to Qiu Degen that he wanted to make a mainland chapter, Qiu Degen didn't want to agree at first, after all, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

However, Jiang Ran finally persuaded Qiu Degen. On the one hand, Jiang Ran, as a shareholder of Asia Television, now has a lot of influence in Hong Kong, and Qiu Degen has to consider Jiang Ran's opinion.

On the other hand, the tip of the tongue is the only variety show that ATV can take, and after Jiang Ran told Qiu Degen in detail about the bottleneck of this show, as well as Ran Feng's future restructuring and prospects for the show, he had to consider Jiang Ran's opinion in the interests of the TV station.

On the other hand, and most importantly, Chiu Tak and his Far Eastern Group do not have any major interests in Taiwan, and in the current international political situation, coupled with the strength and influence of Chiu Degen's business in Hong Kong for decades, he is not afraid of pressure from the Taiwan authorities.

Finally, in Chiu's view, it is clear that the mainland has the upper hand in the negotiations with the British government on the future of Hong Kong, and the mainland's determination to recover Hong Kong is very firm, so Chiu has to leave a way back for the future.

It is precisely because of this kind of trade-off of interests, although he foresaw the possible pressure, Qiu Degen finally agreed with Ran Feng and Jiang Ran's opinions, which led to the smooth broadcast of the Shenzhen chapter.

After Jiang Ran listened to Qiu Degen's words, he was very glad that he had risen in Hong Kong for a short time, and he had little intersection with the bigwigs in Hong Kong, otherwise, I am afraid he would not feel good.

"How is it?Mr. Qiu, does this matter have any impact on you?Will it affect the production of the later broadcast?" Jiang Ran asked with concern.

"It didn't make a big difference. But you must not have any political statement, you had better communicate with the mainland officials, otherwise, if it is really deeply involved in politics, I will not hesitate to get off this show. ”

Through the phone calls that have been going on since last night, Mr. Chiu has realized that he had underestimated the importance of the television stations he had in his hands on in the eyes of some politicians. And such an importance makes him have to be more careful.

Now Jiang Ran is obviously regarded as a pro-mainland element by Qiu Degen, and he is very worried that Jiang Ran and the mainland will take advantage of this to make trouble, so he called Jiang Ran early in the morning to warn him.

Jiang Ran heard the seriousness of the matter from Qiu Degen's words, and it seemed that his previous thoughts were a little naïve.

"Mr. Qiu, rest assured, I am a businessman, I only talk about money, not politics, and that is not something I can play. Jiang Ran assured Qiu Degen on the other side of the phone.

After introducing the call with Qiu Degen, Jiang Ran turned his head and said to Jiang's mother: "Mom, my company has some things, and I want to go to the company, so I won't accompany you." ”

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he couldn't wait to pick up the newspaper at home and browse it.

"Fortunately, although there are more reports on this show, no one connects this show with Ran Feng's political attitude. ”

Jiang Ran, who felt a little calmer, put down the newspaper, thought about it, and directly called the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, "Hello! I am Jiang Ran of Hong Kong Ranfeng Group, and I want to talk to Secretary Liang." ”

Because it was Sunday, Jiang Ran's call was answered by the staff on duty of the municipal party committee, and fortunately, now that Ranfeng Group has some fame in Shenzhen, the staff on duty helped Jiang Ran contact Secretary Liang.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment. Because today is Sunday, I don't know if I can contact Secretary Liang, I'll help you ask first. ”

After Jiang Ran hung up the phone, after waiting for a while, Secretary Liang finally got in touch.

"Haha! Mr. Jiang, hello! I'm Liang Xiang, I'm sorry, I'll let you wait. Secretary Liang greeted with a hearty smile, "I also watched the tip of my tongue yesterday, and you guys took a very wonderful shot." ”

Secretary Liang was obviously very satisfied with the new episode played by Ran Feng yesterday, and there was a cordial taste in his words.

Secretary Liang is satisfied. Jiang Ran replied calmly, and then said carefully: "Secretary Liang, yesterday's broadcast on the tip of the tongue in Hong Kong was very successful, the ratings hit a new high, and the impact was also very great. ”

"However, it is precisely because of the huge influence that we are under tremendous pressure from Ranfeng and Asia Television, and the mainland chapter that we originally planned to produce in the next season, and even the broadcast of the Guangdong chapter produced this time, are facing a lot of resistance. ”

Jiang Ran said this, thought about it slightly, and then said: "Just now, Mr. Qiu Degen from Asia TV called me and told me that this program was just a TV show, and it had nothing to do with politics and just commercial operations. But now the pressure from all sides makes him very worried that this show will be artificially related to politics and has to be taken down. ”

Jiang Ran's words made Secretary Liang silent for a while, Jiang Ran didn't urge him, he had already made his attitude and ATV's attitude very clear, and now it depends on how the mainland responds.

waited for a while before Secretary Liang's voice sounded in the microphone again, "Mr. Jiang, from my personal point of view, this show was originally a commercial operation, although it was filmed in our mainland, it has nothing to do with politics. ”

Secretary Liang said this, slowed slightly, and then said again: "I will communicate with the provincial secretary on this issue later, and I believe he also agrees with my point of view." ”

Jiang Ran is now very worried that he has been forcibly kidnapped into the political team, and Secretary Liang's words finally put him at ease for the time being.

Jiang Ran put down the phone in his hand and immediately got up and rushed to the group. Even on Sundays, there are still a lot of people on duty in the Burning Maple Building.

Jiang Ran arrived at the office, first notified the senior management of the group and the heads of relevant subordinate companies one by one, and then sat heavily on the wide boss's chair, shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm asking for trouble." ”

Today is destined to be an eventful day, Jiang Ran has just finished notifying, and before his ass is hot, a rush of footsteps came in from outside the door, and then a knock on the door sounded.

Jiang Ran's face changed slightly, he knew which people he had just notified, it was impossible for him to feel the group so quickly, and now that he found his office, he should have called home and knew that he was in the company.

Sitting upright, Jiang Ran looked at the door, "Please come in!"

The door was pushed open from the outside, and then Yi Yiyi walked in in with a panicked face, and before she even had time to say hello, she said in an anxious voice: "Mr. Jiang, it's not good, something happened." ”

Jiang Ran's expression darkened when he heard this, and he looked at Yi Yiyi, his face was very bad, "Bang!" Jiang Ran slapped the table suddenly, got up and roared angrily: "What are you panicking about?"

Then in the eyes of Yi Yiyi, he pointed at her and yelled: "Look at you, do you look like the person in charge of a company now? You are so panicked, there is no order, what should the employees below do?"
