Chapter 50: The ratings are out

"This person is really not a thing!" After returning to the program group, Master Feng was still angry and scolded He Jun. He's not putting on a show, he's really hating this bastard.

Their program has maintained a rating of about 0.03 to 0.05% for a long time, and the audience group has almost been fixed. It's not easy to double the ratings in just a few days!

"Don't be so angry. Zhang Fan, as a party concerned, is very calm, "If it is a program whose ratings have passed 1%, it is indeed more difficult to double than to ascend to the sky." However, the ratings of our program are low, so there will be room for improvement. ”

It seems that Zhang Fan suffered a loss in this bet. But there are two sides to everything. Once he did it, it would be completely different for his own fame and in the hearts of everyone on the entire TV station.

Everyone will say that Zhang Fan has real skills! This kind of sense will bring him a lot of convenience.

Zhang Fan is basically not in the TV station except for the time when he recorded the show, but he didn't go out to fool around. I searched for all kinds of relevant information on the Internet in my rental house.

It's true that the ratings at this time of the afternoon are not high, and that's right. Because everybody is at work. But it would be wrong to say that no one watches TV at all.

In this day and age, the whole society is changing in the direction of aging, and a large number of retirees are potential audience users.

Although there are many people who spend their afternoons playing mahjong or chess. However, there are still many people who like to watch TV in front of the TV. After all, when they were younger, the once fantastic TV was the only pursuit. And this pursuit will be retained even after age.

These retirees, whose children go to work, also need laughter to relieve their loneliness. And there are no strong competitors at all in this time period, as long as the show is good enough to make people like, the ratings will naturally increase.

Zhang Fan is very confident in himself!

In this era of information explosion, even the elderly retired audience likes to laugh. Isn't it just a pleasure for everyone to watch pictures on TV? And Zhang Fan's passionate jokes for more than an hour were enough to make anyone who saw them laugh from ear to ear.

When the program was broadcast in the afternoon, Zhang Fan was watching his program in the program group. He's looking for what he can improve. And today is the first episode of the program after I took over the program team. He couldn't act too careless.

"Master Feng, call me when the ratings come out. After the show ended, Zhang Fan got up and prepared to leave, "The day after tomorrow is the weekend, everyone has a good rest at home to recuperate." We recorded three episodes in the morning, which is enough for a few days. After Monday morning, I hope everyone will be able to devote themselves to the show with full spirit. ”

The ratings of TV shows need time to be counted, and it is already very fast for the afternoon program to come out in the evening.

Although there are few weekends to speak of in the TV station, as long as the show needs to be recorded, you have to go to work. It's just that long-term pressure under the pressure of such a fast-paced life will make people's mental pressure great. When the mental pressure is high, it is easy to make mistakes when working.

The World Story Club is a very simple show, mainly to see Zhang Fan's hosting skills.

And he is an extremely strong host, who can directly take off the script and record several episodes of the program in a row. Therefore, giving the colleagues in the program team a holiday can make everyone better engaged in work.

If this is changed to other large-scale programs, the producer will definitely scold his mother.

When recording a program, if you make a slight mistake, you have to stop and start over, and there is simply not enough time. Who can record several episodes of a program in succession like Zhang Fan without pause? Also, after all, only Zhang Fan has a powerful system.

After returning to his rental house, Zhang Fan first bought a complete set of primary school Chinese textbooks online.

He Jun, that guy, has been picking on himself since he was interviewing, and later he made a small report and jumped ship, and made a lot of trouble. Originally, Zhang Fan was very unhappy with him, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to jump out this time. If he didn't step into the mud this time, Zhang Fan would be sorry for himself.

Zhang Fan also thought about taking this opportunity to directly kick him out of the TV station before. It's just that Zhang Fan can feel that He Jun is not a person who really values face. What if he repents then?

If you really want to renege on this completely verbal agreement, no one can do anything to him, at most it is just contempt. It's just that He Jun is already the object of despise in the station now, and it's not a big deal to be despised even more.

Therefore, Zhang Fan chose to use the current way to humiliate this guy who always makes trouble for himself, while also hanging his expectations. Because the ratings are compared for each issue, that is to say, every day gives him opportunities and hopes.

Because there is hope for a turnaround, and because I don't want to be really shameless. Therefore, He Jun is likely to stubbornly carry it, wanting to wait until the ratings of the show drop so that he can turn over.

Reading aloud while eating in the cafeteria with a primary school Chinese textbook, He Jun will become a big laughing stock in the whole circle. In the future, no matter which TV station or which column will not dare to use him!

Zhang Fan doesn't think he is a kind person. If you want to be a good person, you also have to look at the object. A person like He Jun, who is obviously a poisonous snake, is kind to him, that is, to pit himself.

Therefore, Zhang Fan made such an agreement to completely stink his reputation. Once there is no Deputy Director Zhao as a backer, he doesn't want to continue to mix in this circle!

This is even worse than being kicked out of the TV station. There are so many people in the station who continue to rumor that this matter will be known to the women and children in this circle, and He Jun's reputation is over.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Zhang Fan's new show can be brought back to life!

If the ratings of the show hadn't directly doubled by 0.1%, the unlucky person would have been replaced by Zhang Fan.

"Master Feng, are the ratings out?" After dinner, Zhang Fan was about to play a few games online when he received a call from Master Feng, and it seemed that the ratings came out.

"Yes, the ratings for the show came out this afternoon. Master Feng on the other side of the mobile phone seemed to have a heavy voice. It seems that the ratings are not as good as expected.

"The rating of our program is 0.07%, which ranks fifth in the same period. "This ratings and ranking is definitely a huge breakthrough for the World Story Club. This is a result that these staff members have dreamed of before. But now Master Feng and the others are not happy. After all, this result is still a lot worse than Zhang Fan's bet.

The numbers alone are a negligible disparity. But in terms of the number of national viewers in the unit of 100 million, this gap is very terrifying.

Master Feng is very worried that next Monday's show will not be able to break through 0.1%, in which case Zhang Fanke will really be embarrassed. Whether he goes to the cafeteria or not, reading primary school textbooks aloud is an unacceptable consequence for Zhang Fan.

"Why don't we all go to the station tomorrow and record the show again?" Master Feng hesitated.

In the morning, I recorded three episodes of the show in one go, and the quality was almost the same.

Today's issue is 0.7%, and then Monday's words will rise a little more at most. Master Feng, who was worried that Zhang Fan would lose, thought about taking advantage of the weekend to re-record the show. Strive to be more sophisticated.

"It's fine. Zhang Fan understood Master Feng's kindness, but he knew that even re-recording would be similar to the result, so he just smiled and appeased a few words before hanging up the phone.

"Why did it only go up so much?" Zhang Fan walked around his room with his arms on his chest, frowning.

Of course, there are jokes and stories in this world, but the jokes and stories that Zhang Fan searched for on the Internet are at an average level from his point of view, at least one step worse than the ones he bought from the points store. And there are a lot of people who have free time in the afternoon, and there are a lot of people who like to watch. But why hasn't the increase in ratings been as much as expected?

The reasons for this must be manifold.

The first is that the viewership group of this show is fixed, and they have been watching this show. There are even viewers who have given up the show because the Three Kingdoms they have been listening to are gone, and the host has been replaced by a young man.

But because the jokes Zhang Fan told were indeed very attractive, many people continued to watch them.

After that, it's Friday, and it's a weekday.

Most of the people who have free time are elderly, and they basically go to school at noon. Most people wait until the bell rings to leave. You may even meet acquaintances on the road to say a few words, pass by the supermarket to see something. When I get home, I still have some things to do. When the TV was actually turned on, Zhang Fan's new program was about to be finished.

In addition, many viewers who work from home and do not have a regular job will have one or another thing to do. The web occupies the majority of the audience. And there are so many TV stations, but there are not many viewers who really see Zhang Fan's program.

However, even with these things, the ratings of the show have increased significantly compared to before. The reason is that the jokes and stories told by Zhang Fan are very attractive, and many viewers who saw this show were attracted, which made the ratings increase.

As long as the word-of-mouth and publicity go up, it will become logical for the ratings to continue to rise.

Of course, Zhang Fan didn't know about these complex reasons. He doesn't have that terrible analytical skills.

After going around the house several times, in order to avoid the possibility that he might really lose this bet and had to go to the cafeteria to recite the textbooks of primary school students, Zhang Fan gritted his teeth and decided to buy a lucky charm to increase his good luck!

As for the breach of contract, Zhang Fan never thought about it. His personality is a little straightforward, and what he says will definitely count, a mouthful of spit and a nail. It's also because of this kind of personality that I have suffered some losses in other companies before.

At the same time, in the office of Deputy Director Zhao of Imperial Capital TV, He Jun, who also got the ratings of the program, breathed a long sigh of relief.
