Chapter 751: Ratings That Can't Be Calm [One Change]
Wang Guxian hid a small note in his hand, and he was completely reading from the script on stage.
The reporters in the audience were busy taking pictures, and no one paid special attention to this problem, but some of the guests present saw some clues, but no one would debunk them.
In a round of applause, Wang Guxian ended her first speech as an independent director of the company, she did not rush off the stage, and stood back and gave up her position in front of the microphone.
The host then invited Zhang Xiaoyan, Zhou You, Zhou Linggang and others to speak in turn.
Qiu Fusheng, chairman of the board of directors, took the stage and announced the official launch of the TVBS comprehensive channel, and Wang Guxian pressed the button symbolizing the start of the signal under the crowd.
The audience applauded together, the scene of the color cannon salvo, the colorful stripes of colored paper, like a goddess scattered flowers.
The only regret is that from beginning to end, Lin Youlun just sat under the stage, as if the excitement on the stage had nothing to do with him.
At the end of the ceremony, Qiu Fusheng and Wang Guxian humbled each other on the stage, and finally at Qiu Fusheng's insistence, Wang Guxian walked off the stage first, and Qiu Fusheng followed her back to the front seat.
The management of TVBS stayed on stage and began to accept questions from reporters in the audience.
The reporters are very good at choosing topics, and almost all the firepower of the questions is aimed at Zhou You and Zhou Linggang.
"Lagu, "Detective Di Renjie" is the first drama you produced after joining TVBS, and the use of two actors who are not very famous is because you are confident in this drama, or because there are too few artist resources available in your hands, or do you have to do it as a last resort?"
The microphone handed over by the host of Zhou You's results, with a very surprised expression: "He Jiajin used to be very famous in Hong Kong. When he debuted, he was still a young student who was highly praised by Asia TV. I don't know how you came to the conclusion that he wasn't famous. Then Jin Chaoqun is also an actor who has been filming for many years. Especially this year, he also participated in the election of legislators, and he is not obscure...... As for the reason why I asked them to film this film, it was mainly because they were suitable for the role in this play, and as for the words that no one was available to me in my hands, I think it was really ridiculous, and the actors who used to film under me have contacted me recently, and I want to find them to film. Surely none of them will refuse. ”
Zhou You's confident statement attracted a burst of whispered discussions among the reporters in the audience.
Then another reporter stood up, but the question he asked was aimed at Zhou Linggang.
"Mr. Zhou, if you shoot this "Dragon and Phoenix" and broadcast it on China TV, China Television or Taiwan TV, how many ratings do you think it will have? Can it surpass the previous "Chu Liuxiang" starring Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi? ”
"I'm sorry, I can't answer your first question, because "The Dragon and the Phoenix" is broadcast on the TVBS comprehensive channel, and the current situation in Taiwan is that the audience of cable TV cannot be compared with the audience of TVB, so it is meaningless to talk about ratings. But I can tell you very clearly. "The Dragon and the Phoenix" is a high-quality drama, I am very sure of this. As for whether it can surpass "Chu Liuxiang", I don't think it's good to compare, because the times and environments are different. ”
Zhou Linggang changed the microphone from his left hand to his right hand and continued: "If I remember correctly, the highest rating of Taiwan's current TV series should be a thunderbolt puppet show in the 60s, which seems to be more than 70%, but in that era, it was because of the lack of TV programs and the audience did not have many choices, so there were such high ratings. By the time "Chu Liuxiang" was broadcast, the situation was much better, but at that time, Gu Long's martial arts novels were very popular, and the performances of Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi in it were really good, so there were high ratings of that TV series. If that TV series is broadcast now, it may not have such high ratings, because now the audience is not as obsessed with Gu Long's novels as before, and young people, who are the main viewers, prefer Hong Kong and Japanese comics, and at the same time, the competitive environment is different, and there will be many equally excellent TV series broadcast in the same period, so it has been difficult to see the kind of TV series that can dominate the ratings in recent years, and a phenomenal TV series like "Huanzhu Gege" may only be released in a few years. ”
Zhou Linggang mentioned "Huanzhu Gege", and many reporters at the scene turned their attention to Lin Youlun.
Lin Youlun was talking to Qiu Fusheng who was sitting next to him in a low voice, and Zhou Linggang's answer on the stage did not attract too much attention from him.
""Dragon and Phoenix" and "Detective Di Renjie" were broadcast at the same time, do you think that drama will be more popular?"
Finally, a reporter picked out this question, and Zhou You and Zhou Linggang both picked up the microphone and wanted to answer, but the first to react was the director of the production department of TVBS.
"There is a chronological order for the broadcast of the two TV series, so there is no question of competing for ratings. "The Dragon and the Phoenix" is placed in the prime time at 8 o'clock in the evening, and "Detective Di Renjie" is placed in the evening file at 10 o'clock, this arrangement does not mean that "The Dragon and the Phoenix" is more valued than "Detective Di Renjie", but is arranged according to the characteristics of these two dramas. "Dragon and Phoenix" is a TV series suitable for all ages, which is suitable for families to sit and watch together in prime time, while "Detective Di Renjie" is a costume detective suspense drama, which is more suitable for broadcast in the evening file. ”
These words have a bit of a muddy taste, not only the reporters in the audience are not satisfied, but also Zhou You and Zhou Linggang who are standing on the stage are also frowning.
""The Dragon and the Phoenix" is very familiar to everyone in terms of content and actors, and I don't have any opinion on the prime-time broadcast, but from another point of view, this TV series is very decent in all aspects, in Linggang's point of view just now, the TV series "Dragon and Phoenix" will be a hot drama, but it is definitely difficult to become a phenomenal TV series, and "Detective Di Renjie" I dare not say that it is unique, but it can definitely make the audience have a very unique feeling."
Although Zhou You did not belittle his opponent, his words also showed a strong confidence in the drama "Detective Di Renjie".
Zhou Linggang immediately fought back: "I don't completely agree with Lagu's point of view, I admit that "Detective Di Renjie" is very special. But "Dragon and Phoenix" is by no means mediocre. Here I can also reveal an inside story to you. The name of this drama is "Joke on Zhengde", and then I feel that this name is too direct and not good, so it was changed to the current "Dragon and Phoenix", in the past, we filmed some film bureaus with real history as the background, all of which were very serious and serious styles, but "Dragon and Phoenix" is not like this, it has a real historical background. But the content in it is in the form of jokes, and if this TV series can be successful, it can definitely lead to a trend of jokes about history. ”
Zhou You and Zhou Linggang were-for-tat on stage, but Lin Youlun was like nothing to do, except for interacting with Qiu Fusheng from time to time, he didn't seem to care about the two gold medal producers under him engaging in "infighting".
The people present also knew in their hearts that as long as Lin Youlun was there, it would be impossible for Zhou You and Zhou Linggang to really fight, but media reporters would not report like this.
The next day, Taiwan's newspapers only need to mention the news of the opening ceremony of TVBS. All mentioned the on-site infighting between Zhou You and Zhou Linggang, and even some media turned over the old accounts of Zhou You and Zhou Linggang's past grievances. To add fuel to the fire, I reported it.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, the grievances and grievances in this circle can be used as after-dinner conversations, but no one really cares about these things, but "Detective Di Renjie" and "Dragon and Phoenix" are remembered by many people in this round of media reports.
——
Xu Chengfeng runs a small fire-fighting equipment sales company in Taipei, and has two sons, one in college and the other in middle school. The youngest son is in the rebellious period, and even the teachers at school have a headache for him, and every day after school, he doesn't know where this kid is fooling around, and this kid doesn't know how to go home until dark.
At that time, Xu Chengfeng went home today but encountered a strange thing, the two sons were actually at home, the eldest son came back and was caught by his mother to help pick vegetables in the kitchen, the door of the younger son's room was ajar, and the music was played very loudly.
Hearing a noise at the door, the eldest son poked his head out of the kitchen and shouted "Dad", but startled Xu Chengfeng, who was changing his shoes.
"It's only been a few days since school started, and this month's living expenses are gone?" Xu Chengfeng asked subconsciously.
The eldest son grabbed his head and smiled.
Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and was about to give it to him, but the kid hurriedly pulled his mother over to make a shield.
"Okay, I'm kidding you, I didn't come back to ask for money."
As soon as the eldest son explained this, Xu Chengfeng wondered, "Why did you come back without money?" Don't tell me, your conscience found that it was not easy for your father to make money, so he came back to see me. ”
"Wow, you can guess that!"
As soon as the eldest son's voice fell, Xu Chengfeng raised his hand again, "You rabbit cub, I don't know what kind of virtue you have, you give me an honest explanation, did you cause trouble outside, so you ran home to hide?" ”
The eldest son shrugged, "Okay, I won't go around the bush with you, the purpose of my return is very simple, just to watch TV." ”
"Don't you have a TV at school?"
"The school has a TV, but it doesn't have cable TV?"
As soon as the eldest son said this, Xu Chengfeng remembered that his home had just installed cable TV last month, and his wife complained that he was sick, and he didn't watch free wireless TV, and installed cable TV.
"That's why you're back?" Xu Chengfeng was a little confused.
"Of course, there was a TV series that was very popular in our school recently, and many people were discussing the plot, but that TV series had to be watched on cable TV, so I had to go home." The eldest son explained.
The youngest son poked his head out of the room at this time, "Hey, brother, is the TV series you are talking about "Dragon and Phoenix"?" ”
"Please, the kind of drama "Dragon and Phoenix" is only loved by women and children like you, I'm talking about "Detective Di Renjie", detective reasoning, do you understand? Okay, let's not talk nonsense with you, adults talk to children and make a lot of fun, hurry up and go back to do your homework! ”
The eldest son waved his hand at his younger brother with disdain, but what he got was a grimace.
""Dragon and Phoenix" is better than "Detective Di Renjie", I don't believe you can ask my mother!"
"Okay, okay, I won't fight with you, anyway, these two TV series are not broadcast together, when the time comes, you watch yours, I watch mine, and no one can hinder anyone!"
Xu Chengfeng listened to the conversation between his two sons, and it took him a long time to understand what was going on.
"You said that the TV series won't be played until 10 o'clock, and you won't go back to school after watching it?"
"The alarm clock is set a little earlier in the morning, and the school is not very close to home anyway." The eldest son said nonchalantly.
Xu Chengfeng was a little puzzled, these two TV series are really so popular, and they can let two sons who don't usually love their families come back obediently, this is too incredible, right?
Originally, Xu Chengfeng decided to watch these two TV series with his family at night, but he received a phone call temporarily, and his friend's dinner couldn't be postponed, so he went out of the city, and came back drunk after the worst, and slept until almost noon the next day as soon as he lay down.
Xu Chengfeng left the house after lunch, drove to the company, went to a gas station on the way, and when he parked down, he saw a newly opened McDonald's restaurant opposite that was crowded with people, and he felt very strange.
Just as a staff member of the gas station passed by, Xu Chengfeng asked him: "Is there a discount over there?" Why are so many people in it? ”
The other party glanced at Xu Chengfeng, and his expression was very surprised.
"Don't you know the way?"
Xu Chengfeng shook his head blankly.
"Those people went in and watched TV."
Xu Chengfeng burst out laughing, "What age is this, who doesn't have a TV at home, and they still have to come to the restaurant to watch it?" ”
"But not everyone has cable TV, these people don't have cable TV at home, and they want to watch the two TV series broadcast by TVBS, so they all come to McDonald's."
The gas station employee walked away after explaining, leaving Xu Chengfeng standing there alone.
This is the second time Xu Chengfeng has heard the terms "Dragon and Phoenix" and "Detective Di Renjie" from others, and he didn't feel it too intuitively when he was at home, but looking at so many people in the McDonald's restaurant, he realized that the popularity of these two TV series far exceeded his imagination.
Later, Xu Chengfeng read the newspaper and realized that TVBS is the second TV station in Taiwan to sign a contract with McDonald's (the first is China Television), and McDonald's is authorized to broadcast TVBS comprehensive channel programs in branches across Taiwan until the contract expires, so many people will flock to McDonald's restaurants to watch TV.
