Chapter 130: Ratings Miracle!
After He Mu leaves Hengdian, the crew will shoot some plots that do not involve relief, but He Mu must come back within two days, otherwise the crew of "Chang'an Chaos" will face the embarrassment of the previous "Red Cliff" crew.
The world's first press conference of "Red Cliff" was unprecedented, and a lot of media at home and abroad came, after all, Wu Yusen is a well-known director with great fame in Hollywood, and "Red Cliff" also has investment from the United States.
In such a big scene, He Mu is just a dispensable supporting role, and Liang Chaowei, who appears as the savior of the crew of "Red Cliff", is the absolute focus and center.
This is the first time He Mu has seen Liang Chaowei, a very gentle and introverted person, after He Mu greeted him, he responded with a smile, nothing else, not too enthusiastic, not cold, with a sense of distance and very affinity, just like his image in Wang Jiawei's movie, I don't know if Wang Jiawei reshaped Liang Chaowei's character, or Liang Chaowei influenced the style of Wang Jiawei's movie, these two people really can't tell.
He Mu just hurried by at the press conference, and no one would ask him questions about "Chang'an Chaos" at the press conference of "Red Cliff", so no one asked him questions, and actors such as Tong Dawei and Xiao Song Jia didn't even come.
After the press conference, He Mu came to the BTV studio non-stop, and Datang had made detailed arrangements for every minute of his life.
In BTV He Mu and the brothers of "Soldier Assault" recorded two programs, one is a TV drama show with the theme of military-themed TV dramas, "Soldier Assault" was recommended to the audience as a representative of this type of drama, and several important protagonists in "Soldier" also appeared on the scene in military uniforms. Talking about their military complex and their filming time, He Mu also revealed for the first time on the TV show that his brother was a soldier.
The other is an inspirational interview program based on Wang Baoqiang. He Mu, Chen Sicheng, Duan Yihong and others appeared as friends in the circle, and said a few words simply, at this time, He Mu, who was Wang Baoqiang's hometown in Hebei and the most popular artist among several people, was taken care of and was asked questions one after another. Your host asked a lot of questions, and I only answered you with two words, so you're embarrassed to ask again.
It is precisely because of He Mu's performance. Later, especially after He Mu's status reached a certain height, many interview hosts regarded He Mu as the biggest challenge in their careers, and Chen Luyu, Li Jing, Zhu Jun, Yang Bing and other famous domestic talk show hosts would make full preparations before interviewing He Mu. Its workload is equivalent to two or three times that of other stars of the same level. However, a few years later, stars of the same level as He Mu are already very rare.
He Mu knew that Zhang Zilin was still in the south, so he didn't contact her after returning to Beijing, and he just provoked lovesickness.
Since He Mu went to Hengdian, Shishi moved back to her parents' house, Xiao Nan also had her own cottage at this time, He Mu felt empty when he came home, so he called Li Pang over to drink, although he would not get drunk when he drank. But it is definitely a good medicine for loneliness.
After a few glasses of wine, He Mu asked Li Pang about the recent development of He Zao and Sister Xuehe. He and He Zao only occasionally talk on the phone, and I haven't seen him for more than half a year, of course, it doesn't matter if I see it on the news network, He Zao is now the number one person, and the leader who follows him is one of the top ten political figures in China, and he can often be seen wearing a black suit on the news network.
Li Wenhua also didn't know anything about He Zao's situation, but he was still very clear about the cousin under her nose. Sister Xuehe is definitely a model worker, she has taken the company as her home, and she is almost always on her work, but there is a fixed half-day every month that is her leave time, and Li Wenhua guesses that half a day should be when He Zao is free.
Hearing that the relationship between the elder brother and Sister Xuehe was stable, He Mu was relieved, but He Zao's time was really tense, and there was only half a day of free time a month, Sister Xuehe could bear it, and it was really embarrassing for her, "I don't know if Grandpa Lu Dao has time to participate in his ninetieth birthday." He Mu thought of his grandfather's birthday not long after, the old man must have hoped that his two grandsons could give him a birthday, and it was best to bring a girlfriend each, He Mu thought of Zilin who was far away.
Speaking of Old Man He's birthday, He Mu and Li Pang talked about the issue of gifts again, it was okay to be informal before, but this time is the ninetieth birthday of the old man after all, a big hurdle before the age of 100, which is of great significance, He Mu Li Wenhua is still a younger generation to be more solemn, when Li Wenhua scratched his ears and cheeks for the gift, He Mu had already thought about what gift to give.
Next, He Mu asked how the sales of several new books from Tiandi Xuanhuang were, and he focused on "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty", a book discovered by him.
"It's average, it's not as popular as you think, and it is estimated that the final sales per volume will be 40,000 or 50,000, which is not enough of the standard of a bestseller. However, I heard that because of the publication of this novel, the subscription and monthly pass have increased a lot in recent days, but the publicity we did was cheaper than the website, but it's a pity. ”
Although the sales of "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty" are average, several other books "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" 3, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" 2, "Harem. The "Legend of Zhen Huan" series has all performed well, and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has begun to contact publishing companies in Japan and South Korea to prepare to launch Japanese and Korean versions, how much money is secondary, and the most important thing is that the company's influence will be improved a lot, thanks to the help and support of Xiao Fang and his sister.
Now 07 years have not passed half, but the number of books produced by the company has exceeded 20 million, and it is not a problem to reach 50 million this year, and after the two printing houses are included in the company's industrial chain, the company's net profit from each book has also been greatly improved, if the dividend at the end of the year, He Mu can buy a house in the third ring of the capital, but Li Pang is impossible to do this.
"Our goal next year is 100 million yards of ocean, the scale of the company will be expanded, the office space will be changed, and the talents will be introduced, and the copyright center I envisioned before is already a bit rudimentary, and it will cost a lot of money to form a scale, and there are ......."
The above is He Mu's reaction after He Mu jokingly mentioned the dividend, He Mu sighed, let's shoot and advertise in a down-to-earth manner, it is very unreliable to buy a house with Li Wenhua's money, and when Tiandi Xuanhuang starts to pay dividends, it is estimated that he and Zhang Zilin's children will play soy sauce.
He Mu only spent one night at home, and hurried back to Hengdian the next day, he came back in time, the crew had just finished filming a scene of Shikong meeting secretly with people from the court outside the temple, and Shikong's life experience was also beginning to emerge, and the next scene was a scene of relief.
In the face of the return of the second senior brother, the happiest person is Li Qin'er, although the director's attitude towards her has improved a lot these days, but He Mu is still the person she likes to be closest to in the crew.
He Mu does not refuse Li Qin'er's closeness, the cute little girl is a man who likes it, but she is just a little girl, like a sister, like a daughter, and Zhang Zilin gives him a completely different feeling, so he is very calm, even if Xiao Nan sometimes reminds him that it is not appropriate to get too close to the actresses in the crew, he doesn't take it seriously at all.
About a week after He Mu returned to the crew, "Soldier Assault" landed on BTV, and this TV series that caused a wave on the Internet blew this soldier on TV, and the ratings exceeded 3% on the day of the premiere!
What is the concept of 3%? "Young Yang Jiajiang" was 3% at its peak, but it was just a little more at the beginning, and then it rose to that height by good reputation.
And "Soldier Assault" reached 3% on the first day of broadcasting, the starting point is very high, no TV series has such a good start this year, this number is also higher than the expectations of Tiger Wolf Film and Television, it seems that the influence on the network has been converted into ratings, and Xiao Fang notified He Mu as soon as the ratings were counted on the first day, which was faster than the news report.
However, the ratings on the first day do not mean anything, with the network influence of "Soldier Assault" and the publicity before the broadcast, it is reasonable to have a high first-day rating, and the next trend is the most important.
Every day after that, Xiao Fang would personally call He Mu to talk about the topic of ratings, he had no such obligation, the reason why he was so tireless was more of a show-off mentality, "Soldier Assault" has only aired a few episodes, but there are already many TV stations in contact to negotiate the price of the second round of broadcast of this show, after all, such high ratings are not something anyone can hold.
3% on the first day, 3.2% on the second day, 4% on the fifth day, 5% on the eighth day, and on the tenth day, Xu Sanduo entered the old A unit, and at the same time, He Mu officially appeared, and the ratings directly broke 6%, reaching 6.3%, this is not the end, after more than ten days of broadcasting, in the finale, this pure master TV series with no celebrities, no lingering love, and even a female character reached an unprecedented 7.2% rating, breaking the BTV ratings record, At the same time, it has also become the annual ratings champion as of May!
"Soldier Assault" has created a ratings miracle, there is no doubt that this drama will be popular for a while, there is no doubt that the fate of the actors in the play is about to change, no matter how popular the Internet is, but the audience is limited after all, and the ratings of the TV station are the panacea to save their careers.
During the hit broadcast of "Soldier Assault", magazines, newspapers, and TV stations all moved, and now what the audience wants to see most is the soldiers, whether in or out of the play, their faces represent high ratings and high sales, so they are desperately digging up all the news and old news related to them, He Mu feels that there are many more suspicious people around the crew of "Chang'an Chaos".
At the same time, Li Wenhua ordered to start printing the novel version of "Soldier Assault", and first printed 100,000 copies to see how the market reacted.

In a military compound in the capital, Zhang Zilin, dressed in casual clothes, accompanied an old man in his seventies and in good spirits, staring at the TV without moving.
"Grandpa, what do you think of Wu Zhe in this play?" Zilin looked at the old man expectantly, with a hint of shyness and cunning in his smart eyes...... (To be continued......)
