Chapter 149: A few joys and a few sorrows

As soon as Mei Xiaoqing returned to ATV, there was a burst of thunderous applause in the control room of the TV center, and the atmosphere was warm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It seems to be good news!" Mei Xiaoqing heard the bursts of applause from the room, thinking that it must be the ratings of "Meteor" that have performed well. The heart she had been carrying tonight could finally be put down a little, and she quickened her pace with joy and walked into the control room of the TV center.

Tonight, Xu Xiaoming and the leaders of the station all sat in the central control room in person to observe the live broadcast of the TV series and the data feedback. Even Cheng Weiliang, who was supposed to lead a team to shoot the penultimate "Campus Farewell Concert" scene on the campus of the University of Hong Kong tonight, was also called back by the anxious Director Xu and sat on the scene together.

"Oh oh! what a beautiful job!"

"yes, this time I finally overturned TVB!"

"We won! Hooray!

"Director Cheng, you are so amazing!"

"Wei Liang, congratulations!

As soon as Mei Xiaoqing walked in, he found that the central control room, which was usually orderly, was in a sea of chaos at the moment. Some staff members excitedly high-fived each other, hugged bears, and some staff stepped forward with smiles on their faces to say hello to the leaders of the stage and Cheng Wei Liang.

"Thank you, Tongxi, Tongxi! Congratulations to ATV!" Cheng Weiliang, who was surrounded by the people who congratulated him, shook hands or hugged the TV station staff and Xu Xiaoming one by one with a smile.

"It's so calm!" Mei Xiaoqing looked at Cheng Weiliang who was surrounded by excited and ecstatic people, and still only had his signature smile with the corners of his mouth slightly raised on his face, without any excitement or excitement, she couldn't help but shake her head, I really don't know if he has a cold personality, or that he has the style of a general when he is a young man, and he can hold on!

"Wei Liang, how is it? It's good news, are the ratings out? How much?" Mei Xiaoqing stepped forward and asked Cheng Wei Liang in a slightly hurried tone.

Cheng Weiliang saw Mei Xiaoqing coming back, he pulled a stool next to her and asked her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoqing, you have visited so many TV viewers on the spot, you should have mastered a lot of first-hand information, you have worked hard tonight! Come, sit down first, and have a cup of tea." Then Director Xu will tell you in detail. ”

"Tell me quickly, you're going to kill me. Mei Xiaoqing took the tea and didn't drink it, but urged it again and again.

Xu Xiaoming walked over, laughed, and rarely teased: "Xiaoqing, you see that you are in a hurry, you have filmed a few dramas, and when you are old, you are not as stable as Weiliang." Well, let's take a look. As he spoke, he handed Mei Xiaoqing a preliminary ratings table for the station's internal statistics.

"What about me, didn't you also yell at Wei Liang to cancel tonight's shooting plan and recall people back to the stage to sit on the scene together. Being ridiculed by Lao Xu, Mei Xiaoqing couldn't help but slander in her heart, but after taking the form, she couldn't care about the slander, and her eyes hurriedly swept over the series of data listed on the table.

"The average rating, 50.1%!!" her eyes fixed on one of the data, Mei Xiaoqing involuntarily exclaimed, and lowered her head again in disbelief to confirm that the table did say that the ratings were 50.1%, and she was not mistaken!

The first rating of the drama was 50.4%, and the second 10-minute rating was ...... The third 10-minute rating was 48.7...... Fourth 10-minute rating...... The end-of-show ratings were 51.5 percent.

Mei Xiaoqing swept all the way down the table, reading the ratings data of each time period listed above.

"The average rating is 50.1 percent?" Director Xu, are you sure that these ratings data are not mistaken?" Mei Xiaoqing raised her head and asked Xu Xiaoming, her chest was a little undulating and her breath was a little unstable, obviously she was still very excited, and she couldn't believe this amazing fact.

Of course, this is only the preliminary statistics we obtained through telephone visits, and there will definitely be a certain error in the end. The ratings we calculated are very close to those of TVB, and we do not rule out the possibility that our average ratings will be lower than them when the final accurate statistics are released. However, one thing is for sure, "Meteor Garden" did surpass their Taiwanese drama "The Condor Heroes" in the ratings at a certain time. ”

The ratings data obtained on the day are only rough ratings data preliminarily calculated by visiting various ratings target groups by telephone within the TV station, which is for reference only, and the accurate ratings data still need to wait for a professional ratings research company to provide later.

Of course, Mei Xiaoqing knew that the data she came up with tonight was not accurate enough, but she also knew that based on past experience, there was only a small margin of error between the statistics within the TV station and the data from the survey company. In other words, the final ratings of "Meteor Garden" will not be less than 45 percent!

In other words, ATV's ratings at 7 o'clock tonight have broken 4! ATV's ratings ratio to wireless has finally broken 4! ATV's TV series, the ratings have finally not been suppressed by opponents in more than 30 percent, 20s, more than 10, and even single digits, and they can't turn over!

In other words, the debut film of a newcomer director of ATV broke the opponent's all-out efforts in Taiwan, and the big cast and big production of the Taiwan celebration drama led by the gold medal producer!

Relieved of anger!!

It's been a few years, coming from Li's TV era, and they, the ATV people, haven't been so proud in the showdown with TVB for a long time!

"Thank you, Wei Liang!" Looking at the young man in front of her who brought a miracle, Mei Xiaoqing thought of ATV's hardships in the past two years, and felt a sour nose, she couldn't help but clasp Cheng Weiliang's hand and said sincerely.

Seeing this, the other ATV people also quieted down from their excitement and looked at Cheng Weiliang. The old people who came from Li's TV era can deeply understand Mei Xiaoqing's feelings at this moment.

"Sister Xiaoqing, thank me for what, don't forget, you are the producer of this drama, half of you and half of me on the military merit medal, half of you, Director Xu, and half of all the ATV TV people who have contributed to "Meteor"!" Seeing that Mei Xiaoqing's mood was a little emotional, and the atmosphere was a little low-pressure, Cheng Weiliang laughed and deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "What's more, the Long March has only taken the first step, our opponent is very strong, the current victory is only temporary, we have to continue to work hard, it's too early to say thank you!"

Before Mei Xiaoqing could speak, a laugh suddenly came from the door. The first old man who was not tall and in good spirits led the TV director Li Zhuanglie and other high-level TV station executives to stride in and come to Cheng Weiliang.

It seems that the big boss of the TV station has gotten the news and actually came to congratulate him in person, Xu Xiaoming, Mei Xiaoqing and other ATV personnel hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to the boss.

"Boss Qiu, hello!"

"Hello, Director Li!"

"Producer Liang, hello!"

"Producer Li, hello!" Cheng Weiliang also stepped forward and shook hands with Qiu Degen and the middle and senior leaders one by one.

"Haha, although it's still too early to say thanks, congratulations must be the first time to congratulate, Hou Shengzi, congratulations!

TV director Li Zhuanglie said: "Congratulations to producer Mei and director Cheng, congratulations to the crew of "Meteor Garden", congratulations on your good start to the ratings tonight, I hope you will make persistent efforts and achieve better results!"

Then he turned his head and said to Xu Xiaoming: "Brother Xiaoming, congratulations to you too! Thank you for arguing and persuading us to invest in this drama, and digging up such excellent screenwriters and directors as Mr. Cheng for ATV, which is what we have today." ”

ATV's veteran producer Liang Tian also stepped forward and patted Cheng Weiliang on the shoulder at this time, "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth! I originally thought that Brother Xiaoming's "Iron Hero" could help us kill the prestige of TVB, but I never expected that it was a young junior like you who helped me avenge it first. Amazing, tell me, what is the charm of this "Meteor Garden" campus drama that makes the audience fascinated and can withstand the powerful offensive of Jin Yong's famous drama "The Condor Heroes"?"

Liang Tian is the ATV producer of "Sword Immortal Li Bai", which failed to "Condor" before, and the ratings fell from more than 30% to single digits.

The other party was obviously a little depressed, Cheng Weiliang said modestly: "It's nothing, it's just spending money to produce, spending money to advertise, plus a little bit of plot freshness to attract the audience, that's all." The first episode can be on par with "Condor", but it is a fluke that TVB was caught off guard by the publicity! ”

Throwing money at production, spending money on advertising, and the other producers present all secretly thought about it when they heard this.

Boss Qiu has just tasted a little bit of winning, how can it be so easy to give up. You're going to throw money at it, right? Okay, no problem!

Boss Qiu waved his hand and said in high spirits: "Hou Shengzi, I heard that the investment of one million has been used up, and there are still a few scenes in your drama that have not been filmed, right? Do the math, how much money do you have left? Oh, forget it, you don't have to do the math. ”

Without waiting for Cheng Weiliang to answer, Boss Qiu said to the secretary next to him: "Xiao Gao, let the finance directly send 50,000 yuan to their crew tomorrow." ”

"You can use the money, Hou Shengzi, shoot well, I'm optimistic about you!" Boss Qiu turned around and instructed Cheng Weiliang with an eager gaze.

50,000 yuan, can you still use it? My last two scenes, the total budget will exceed 100,000 yuan! The corners of Cheng Weiliang's mouth twitched, this Boss Qiu didn't seem to know much about the situation of the crew, with his reputation for being stingy, it was generous to be willing to give 50,000 yuan to shoot a few scenes, Cheng Weiliang squeezed out a smile and tried his best to make himself happy, "Thank you very much Boss Qiu for your support, I will definitely shoot well." However, there are only the last two scenes left, and the crew has already left enough budget funds. If it is not enough, I will ask you for funding again. ”

The other producers who have been suffering from a shortage of funds looked at Cheng Weiliang with envy, Boss Qiu is rare to be generous, don't you want to give you money?

Mei Xiaoqing and Xu Xiaoming were secretly a little embarrassed, they became a lot of money, but now they are rich, and there is still a lot of sponsorship money left from the sponsors, how can he look at the 50,000 yuan that Boss Qiu deducted and deducted, which is not enough for him to shoot a "campus farewell concert" scene.
