Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan came to Chinese TV and watched the ratings of "Desire", and they were quite speechless.

"Desire" is broadcast at nine o'clock every night, and the time period is good, even if there is no large-scale publicity, but the ratings of 0.02% are not too low.

In China, the average viewership of "Desire" is more than 90 percent.

Even if Lin Zixuan was mentally prepared, he was made to vomit blood by this number.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianlong was very optimistic, and felt that it was an unexpected joy to have this kind of achievement, which was better than he imagined.

In the United States, English-language television stations are the mainstream media, and Chinese-language television stations belong to the niche within a niche.

Coupled with the fierce competition among various Chinese-language television stations, the audience of Chinese-language television stations in the United States does not exceed 100,000, and some Chinese-language television stations even have only 10,000 or 20,000 viewers, which is completely incomparable with the base of 800 million viewers in China.

Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that ratings are so low.

Although "Desire" cannot be compared with the ratings of the Xiangjiang TV series, Jiang Tianlong feels that this is a good start, indicating that Chinese Americans are not averse to watching domestic TV programs.

Maybe the audience is just out of curiosity at first, but curiosity will gradually turn into a habit, as long as there is a good TV program, it can retain the audience, so that they can accept and love the domestic program.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan graduated from Beijing Broadcasting Institute, studied communication, and understand this truth.

It seems that the situation is not so pessimistic, although the road is a little tortuous, but the outlook is worth looking forward to.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Mu Shanshan had to make a documentary with the help of the database of Chinese TV stations, and she also went deep into New York's Chinatown with Chinese TV reporters to learn about the living conditions of Chinese people in the United States.

With the help of a local Chinese-language TV station, the filming of the documentary will be much smoother.

This is a gradual integration process, they didn't even know the road when they first arrived in New York, but now they have opened up the situation and integrated into the local Chinese society little by little.

Lin Zixuan continued his duties as a firefighter and solved all kinds of troubles for the crew.

There is a good saying that the troubles that can be solved with money are not troubles, but it is a pity that he has no extra funds now.

At this time, there was also an accident, at the end of April, Wang Ji felt unwell during filming, nausea and vomiting, originally thought he was just eating something bad, but he didn't care.

One day it was really uncomfortable, so Jiang Wen accompanied her to the doctor, and the doctor's diagnosis was that Wang Ji was pregnant.

The news was so unexpected that it caught everyone off guard.

In order to finish filming as much as possible, the crew of "Beijing People" rushed for time, working more than 15 hours a day, basically from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night in a high-intensity shooting state.

Shoot exterior scenes when the weather is good, and shoot indoor scenes when it's raining, and you can't let the machine be idle anyway.

As the heroine, Wang Ji has a lot of roles, and when she plays against Jiang Wen, she needs to maintain a full mental state at all times.

"I'm afraid we can't shoot like this, the actors can't hold it. Feng Xiaogang said worriedly.

He is talking about Wang Ji, the other supporting characters have time to rest, but the protagonist does not, and filming over and over again is too draining.

In fact, this kind of shooting intensity is very common in China, and the filming conditions of "Desire" are even more difficult, spending more than ten hours in a cold and damp studio every day, catching up with the schedule every day, and Zhang Kaili later fell ill.

Why in "Desire", Zhang Kaili can cry if she wants to, she doesn't even need eye drops, as long as she thinks of continuing to shoot in the studio, she feels that she is really miserable.

In order to save money and catch up with the schedule, filming TV series in China is like fighting a war.

"Adjust the shooting plan, break up her scenes, shoot separately, and ensure plenty of rest time. Lin Zixuan said.

This is the first time he has encountered this situation, and there is no good solution.

Either to reduce Wang Ji's role, or to concentrate on a period of time to finish Wang Ji's role first, or the crew to film with her schedule.

If the first two items are adopted, it is likely to destroy the overall structure of the TV series.

Wang Ji has the temper of a woman in Beijing, she is not squeamish, she doesn't want to slow down the progress of the crew.

It costs a lot of dollars for the crew to stay in the United States for an extra day, and even if it is so saving, there is still a funding gap.

Lin Zixuan insisted on adjusting the shooting plan to ensure Wang Ji's work and rest, in the final analysis, he is not a capitalist who is only interested in profit.

Now, he has also seen that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and if it is a big deal, he will continue to take out loans, and they will all survive to this point, and Huaguo Bank cannot watch them starve to death in the United States.

It's a bit of a rogue, but it's quite effective.

What Lin Zixuan didn't expect was that this had an unexpected effect.

After becoming pregnant, Wang Ji moved out of the apartment building, where the environment was not good, too noisy, and there was no way to rest.

Once, the crew came to the filming site and found that Jiang Wen was gone.

When I called and asked, he forgot to set the alarm clock last night, overslept, and when everyone left the apartment building, they drove a few cars, and they didn't pay attention to the noise, thinking that he was in another car.

When Jiang Wen rushed over, an hour or two passed.

"I'm going to be able to come on time as soon as I'm pregnant, so it's good for you to let a bunch of people wait here. Wang Ji counted Jiang Wen down at that time.

Jiang Wen knew that he was at a loss, so he hurriedly apologized, and when he was filming, he was also serious and tried to pass it once, so that he didn't have to rehearse repeatedly and delay time.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang looked at it, this line, someone can finally control Jiang Wen.

There is a pregnant woman in the crew, everyone is not so rough in doing things, and the progress is much faster, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

With the broadcast of "Desire", the ratings have neither risen nor fallen sharply, and have remained stable, mainly because the base of Chinese TV viewers in the United States is too small, and the change in ratings is not obvious.

A number of reviews of "Desire" appeared in Chinese newspapers distributed by the Chinese community in New York.

The Chinese in the United States do not know much about the situation in China, and a lot of news has come from Xiangjiang and Baodao, and they have the impression that the mainland is still in a chaotic state of the sixties and seventies.

Through the TV series, although the mainland they see is not economically developed, it is not chaotic, but lives an ordinary life, and the kindness, integrity and beautiful emotions conveyed in "Desire" can also infect Chinese Americans.

This is the charm of family emotional dramas.

Extrapolating from the ratings, no more than 40,000 viewers watched the show "Desire" in New York, no more than 50 people wrote reviews after watching it, and very few people wrote reviews that could be published by newspapers.

There are praises and criticisms.

Lin Zixuan collected the praise in the newspaper, threw away the criticism, and prepared to send it back to China, which can be regarded as an achievement of the Beijing Television Art Center and Huaguo Television Station overseas.

As a subordinate, reporting achievements to the leader from time to time is a sign of maturity.
