350 against the sky

“19.8%…… 19.8%?!" Tamagawa Yasuji repeated this ungodly number, his face full of disbelief.

He never expected that the ratings of the first episode of "Dragon Sakura" on the day would surpass Fuji TV's signature TV series "World Wonderful Story"!

He originally thought that the estimated ratings of "Dragon Sakura" in his heart before were set at 16%, which was already very bold.

After all, the times are different, with the development of the Internet, the diversification of entertainment methods, it is no longer possible to have the same as before, as soon as it goes night, thousands of families will gather around the TV to watch a TV series. The kind of anti-sky data that the ratings of a drama series break 40% or even 50%, and the current TV producers can't even think of it.

Taking the broadcast time of "Dragon Sakura", TBS's Golden 10 as an example, can now reach 14% of the ratings, which can be regarded as qualified. A rating of 16% is excellent, and an rating of 18% is basically enough to dominate the season.

Although the ratings of "Wonderful Things of the World" have dropped from 25.2% at the peak of that year to 18.3% today, this is only the impact of the general trend of the times, not that the quality of this TV series is not good.

Originally, many people predicted that "World Wonderful Story" was most likely to become the ratings champion of autumn Japanese dramas, and popular TV series with a strong cast such as "Engine" starring Takuya Kimura are also strong contenders.

And "Dragon Sakura", although there is Abe Kuan as the main player, the lineup of other actors is too weak. Especially a few young actors, none of them are famous enough.

There are not too many people in the industry who are optimistic about "Dragon Sakura", and everyone generally believes that if the ratings of this TV series can reach 14% at the beginning, and by the end of the broadcast, the average rating can be maintained at 12%, which is a satisfactory answer.

Yasuji Tamagawa never expected that "Dragon Sakura" would come up with such an impeccable result.

The joy in his heart welled up in his heart, and Tamagawa Yasuji couldn't help but wave his fist for a while, venting, and then calmed down.

Recalling the words of greeting him from everyone along the way before coming to the office, Tamagawa felt that there was something else to do at this time.

He picked up the phone and dialed Qin Han's phone number.

"Hey, is it Teacher Qin Han? Good morning. ”

"Ah, it's Tama Chuan-san. Good morning. Is there something wrong?" On the other end of the phone, Qin Han was a little out of breath when he spoke, as if he was doing some physical activity just now. And faintly, Tamagawa Kangji seemed to hear a woman's voice.

"It's a girlfriend, right...... Young man, I guess I slept late last night, and I'm still in bed. Tamagawa thought to himself.

He guessed half right.

Qin Han was indeed in bed. But he didn't sleep late last night, he got up early this morning, and then called his two girlfriends and began to make up for some of the things he missed last night.

Yasuji Tamagawa felt that he shouldn't disturb the other party, so he didn't say any more greetings and went straight to the point: "Teacher Qin Han, tell you a good news! The ratings of the first episode of "Dragon Sakura" came out, and it was 19.8%!"

"Ah, that's right. Very good, very good. Not...... Tama Chuan-san, I know about this. There is a special call for you to inform. If it's okay, I'll hang up, goodbye. ”

Without waiting for Tamagawa Kangji to respond, there was a "beep" on the phone...... The sound of a beep ......".

"Young man......" Yasuji Tamagawa smiled and shook his head in understanding.

He also dialed the three directors of "Dragon Sakura", Takashi Komatsu, Renhei Tsukamoto, and Nozomihiro Karaki. Told them the news.

The three directors were more concerned about the results of the premiere of "Dragon Sakura" than Yasuharu Tamagawa, and after the TV series was broadcast last night, they went to Video_Research to check the ratings of this TV series.

At this time, the good news that Koji Tamagawa called to report was already outdated information. However, the three directors were still very happy and chatted with the producer Yasuharu Tamagawa for a while.

Since the filming of "Dragon Sakura" was still in full swing, and the three directors were busy with work, Tamagawa Koji didn't talk much and quickly hung up the phone.

With a relaxed and happy mood, Yasuharu Tamagawa continued to look at the ratings report produced by his assistant Naoko Fujibayashi.

In addition to the unexpectedly good ratings of "Dragon Sakura", there are also many things worth studying in this figure.

For example, the highest instant rating of this TV series is 20.2%, which is not much higher than the average rating of the whole episode of 19.8%.

This shows that the plot of "Dragon Sakura" is very gripping, and many viewers have seen the end from the beginning.

In terms of personal ratings, among the viewers who watched "Dragon Sakura", young people in their teens and twenties, and middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, were the most.

Tamagawa Koji didn't figure out for a while why a youth campus drama with a target audience of students would be watched by so many uncles and aunts.

But when he pondered it, he took it for granted.

"Dragon Sakura" is a youth campus drama, but the study, exams, and education issues discussed in it are also of concern to many parents.

In particular, the remarks of Qin and Han that caused great social repercussions in TV programs have not dissipated yet. The original comic book of "Dragon Sakura", as well as the popularity of Qin Han himself, are extremely guaranteed, and they can bring a large number of viewers when the TV series is launched.

It is with the help of the two major viewing groups of young people and parents that "Dragon Sakura" can achieve such proud ratings.

However, a good start is only half the battle. Whether you can save the audience brought by Qin Han and the original comics to the end depends on the quality of the TV series itself.

After reading the ratings report, Yasuharu Tamagawa left the office and went to the network department of TBS.

The premiere of "Dragon Sakura" has achieved such outstanding results, and many follow-up plans must be followed. For example, it is necessary to increase the publicity of this TV series. The network broadcasting discussed earlier also has to be put on the agenda.

When Yasuji Tamagawa arrived at the network department, several employees who were still on duty on their days off were discussing the topic of "Dragon Sakura" inside.

"Did you watch "Dragon Sakura" last night? It's amazing, everyone on TV today is discussing this TV series. ”

"I didn't see it. I've heard that the ratings are record-breaking?

"It's funny, it's really interesting, Abe's acting skills are as good as ever. Several young actors are not very good, but they are also qualified for the roles in the play. Especially Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa, it's so cute!"
