Chapter 543: If You Want to Face, You Will Lose (Part II)

The fact that the TV series was broadcast in the prime segment in the evening proved to be indeed a good reform.

Relying on the opening of "Journey to the West", ATV's evening prime-time reform of the TV series series series hit a new high in the ratings one after another, and once the TV series "Serious Case Fax" and other columns broadcast by TVB at the same time were all pressed below, forcing "Serious Case Fax", which was originally still leisurely and only broadcast from Monday to Friday, also accelerated the broadcast speed, ended the screening of this TV series ahead of schedule, and launched another new drama "Fire Rose".

"Fire Rose" was tepid at the beginning of its release, and the highest rating on the first day was only 24. 1, which is better than TVB's previous screening of "Serious Case Fax", but compared with "Journey to the West", which has been screened to the climax at this time, the gap between being thrown away is not one or two points. In the 21st episode of 'Wrong Fall Pansi Cave', "Journey to the West" not only hit the highest 37 since its release. The ratings of 6, which is also the 22nd episode of "Four Explorations of the Bottomless Pit" released on this day, finally made the average rating of "Journey to the West" exceed 30, becoming one of the three highest-rated TV dramas in Hong Kong this year, and it is also the only introduced drama.

Although the ratings of "Journey to the West" subsequently declined slightly, as of the end of the last episode of "Bosheng Bliss", "Journey to the West" ended up with an average of 30. The ratings of 1 stood tenaciously above 30 points, and its highest in the finale was 38. The ratings of 35 refreshed the TVB hit drama "Dragon Sky" at the beginning of the year with a high of 38. The ratings of 33 won the crown, which made ATV cheer for a while.

"Is it finally over?"

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Fei took his hand back from his girlfriend's shoulder and rubbed his eyes. Since watching the first episode on the day of the premiere of "Journey to the West", he has become interested in this TV series introduced by ATV, and every night after work, he locks the Chinese channel without moving, and he has to rest after watching the two episodes.

This habit has been insisted on for more than ten days, and today "Journey to the West" is finally finished, and he is still unaccustomed to it in his heart for a while.

In the song of the ending song, he glanced at the time that it was still early, although he had to go to work the next day, but during this time, he was used to going to bed late, and naturally there was no sleepiness for a while. immediately pushed his girlfriend who was leaning next to him, "Sissi, give me the remote control, I don't know if there are any good TV series on Jade Terrace at night!" ”

There wasn't much schoolwork in the days before graduation, and Lin Qianqian had been coming to him lately. When she heard this, she handed him the remote control, thought about it and shook her head and said, "I heard Mary say that it's not bad to watch a few episodes of "Fire Rose" on Jade Channel recently, but only one episode a day, and this point should almost be finished!" ”

Mary is the English name of her good sister Xie Na, she has not stayed at school recently, Xie Na also goes home at night, and recently she is often bored to watch TV to pass the time. This girl is not interested in "Journey to the West" or anything, but recently noticed that TVB's new TV series called "Fire Rose" is quite good, and she has been telling her. Although Lin Qianqian also has some interest in this TV series, her personality is the most gentle, her boyfriend comes back from a tired day during the day, and it is rare to have a TV that she is interested in to watch, but she is also sensible and never fights for the stage, and accompanies him to watch "Journey to the West" every day.

The broadcast time period of many programs of TVB and ATV is the same, and there is no lack of fighting. Xu Fei knew that there was no drama as soon as he heard it, but he raised the remote control and was about to change to another station to see if there was any TV to watch, and suddenly saw a subtitle notice popping up on the TV with the ending song of "Journey to the West", "The new drama "Dream of Red Mansions" will continue to be played for you later, please do not turn the channel!" ”

"Hey, there's any other TV to watch?"

Xu Fei was taken aback, he didn't know much about the TV broadcast system before, but because he likes to read newspapers, many newspapers have recently repeatedly reported on the pros and cons of the two-episode series of ATV's evening TV series, and he can be regarded as understanding some of the skin. At present, most of the outside world thinks that ATV's recent night TV series series system will not last long, although I have heard that ATV's efforts to purchase TV series have increased, but it has continued to spend money to support the continuous broadcast system, no matter how you look at it, it will only increase ATV's operating costs, and a shrewd businessman will not do this.

But no one expected that the front foot of "Journey to the West" had just been released, and ATV would broadcast other TV series on the back foot, which had the meaning of continuing the continuous broadcast system, which surprised him very much.

Lin Qianqian also saw the subtitles on TV, and her eyes lit up, ""Dream of Red Mansions", Brother Fei, let's take a look!" ”

"Dream of Red Mansions" and "Water Margin" are probably the most familiar to Hong Kong people and are also two of the four most famous novels in Hong Kong. Among the latter, almost every one of Liang Shan 108 has been pulled out by Hong Kong filmmakers to shoot movies, and various romances and biography have also been filmed hundreds in the sixties and seventies. The former not only created a number of opera works, but also filmed TV dramas on the three major TV stations in Hong Kong in addition to ATV, TVB and Jiashi. It's just that TVB only came up with a 5-episode version, but Jiashi once filmed a 100-episode ultra-long version, which is still the longest TV series in Hong Kong.

Lin Qianqian, who was born in a fisherman's family, was not wealthy when she was a child, and the most impressive thing was the first time she watched a videotape at a classmate's house in elementary school, and at that time she watched the Jiashi version of "Dream of Red Mansions", so she fell in love with this classic novel full of poignant love.

Xu Fei saw that she had collected a novel of "Dream of Red Mansions", and knew that his girlfriend would naturally not go against her will if he liked it, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay, you used to watch "Journey to the West" with me, and now I will accompany you to watch "Dream of Red Mansions"!" ”

After collecting it, she hugged her into her arms a little tighter, Lin Qianqian's face was slightly red, and she whispered shyly: "Thank you, Brother Fei, you are so good to me!" ”

Immediately after the release of "Journey to the West", which created amazing ratings for ATV, it is still a TV series imported by ATV from the mainland, although "Dream of Red Mansions" has a long version of 100 episodes in Hong Kong, the plot is not beautiful if it drags on too long, not to mention that ATV does not expect it to reach a new high, it is enough to be able to maintain the ratings during the golden segment without diving too much, after all, before "Journey to the West", the average ratings of ATV's evening prime segment have been pressed by TVB around 20, The highest ratings of breaking 30 have only been achieved when some hit TV series are released.

No one thought that "Dream of Red Mansions" imported from the mainland could continue the super high ratings of "Journey to the West", but "Dream of Red Mansions" surprised ATV with only one episode.

The average rating has steadily exceeded 20, and the highest rating has also reached 25. 1, although the ratings of the finale of "Journey to the West" shown before it have dropped by more than one or two points, the ratings are only higher than those of the previous ATV prime segment programs, which makes many people in ATV who are still worried about the continuous broadcast system finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, although "Dream of Red Mansions" satisfied ATV, the report card handed over after the first episode was broadcast changed the tone of the outside world.

"Journey to the West" ended perfectly yesterday, even the most picky people have to admit that ATV has earned enough attention and social attention in the past half a month by relying on this TV series introduced from the mainland. With an average rating of over 30, it has become the highest-rated TV series introduced in Hong Kong this year, and its highest rating is 38. The ratings of 35 broke the 38 created by "Dragon Sky" in one fell swoop. 33, refreshing the highest ratings of Hong Kong TV dramas this year! Yesterday, after the end of the screening of "Journey to the West", it was replaced by another new TV series introduced by ATV from the mainland, "Dream of Red Mansions", and compared to the "Journey to the West" that it broadcast before, this mainland version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is far from being comparable to it in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings, and no one knows how far ATV's continuous broadcast system can go......

"The sudden reform of the evening prime time, relying on the two episodes of the TV series in a row, ATV has earned countless attention in a short period of time, and it has also made the advertisers who bought the advertising space in the time period profit together. However, facts have once again proved that hit TV series with explosive ratings cannot be available every day. After the glorious end of "Journey to the West" for half a month, ATV, which succeeded it and continued to broadcast, introduced a new drama "Dream of Red Mansions" but failed to retain the popularity that the former brought to ATV. ”

Unlike ATV's new TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", the ratings of ATV's new TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" have plummeted, at this time, after a few days of broadcasting, the well-made TVB new drama "Fire Rose" finally began to exert its strength, and only used the charm of four episodes of the plot story, this TV series successfully attracted enough teachers and girls in Hong Kong, and the ratings rose wildly, and soon the average rating exceeded 23.

Seeing that the ratings of TVB's new TV series once again pressed ATV, some time ago, he was sarcastic before the hit of "Journey to the West", but he didn't want the TV series to be unexpectedly popular, but Du Youyu, who was ridiculed by the media and ATV's senior management intentionally or unintentionally, finally turned around, and jumped out again and sarcastically said: "...... I need to advise some laymen who think that they can run a TV station with more money, and if they want to get higher ratings, there is no other shortcut except to make a program that satisfies the audience. Spending money on purchased things may occasionally have one or two works that the audience likes, but it is impossible to satisfy the audience with each one. In the long run, I doubt how much money I have to prepare to smash into this bottomless pit, so that I can do it myself! ”

With his high-profile speech, TVB also began to follow ATV's lead, giving them enough resources for the newly released TV series "Fire Rose".

Today's variety show invites Wen Zhaolun, Luo Jialiang, Yin Yangming, Wen Bixia and other leading actors to participate in the program activities, and tomorrow it will be released to the public that Wen Bixia and Luo Jialiang have a scandal because of the play, and the day after tomorrow will arrange Wen Bixia to co-host the show with Wen Zhaolun, another protagonist who has a scandal, although TVB's publicity is far less than the topics generated by all the media under Lin Xiaozhi, but as a veteran overlord in the Hong Kong TV industry, TVB wants to praise one of its TV series to attack competitors, and the effect is still very significant.

Under the strong support of TVB, the ratings of "Fire Rose" continued to rise, and soon the highest rating exceeded 31, and the average rating also reached a height of 25 points.

"Smack!"

Shao Yifu angrily threw Wen Jiàn on the table in front of him, "Who will tell me what the hell is going on." Didn't you tell me that ATV's "Dream of Red Mansions" has a far inferior reputation to our "Fire Rose"? Why is the number collected in the past few days showing that our TV series has not been able to open the gap with ATV at all, and the highest rating of "Dream of Red Mansions" has reached 29. 4. It is only half a step away from breaking thirty. Average ratings, who can tell me what is the situation? Both 23. 9, still climbing up a little bit......"

In the office, several TVB executives who were called by him were so frightened by his anger that they bowed their heads and acted cautiously, lest he call their names.

Fang Yihua's face was not good-looking, and she felt that Shao Yifu's gaze fell on her, so she had to look at Du Youyu coldly, forcing him to speak uncomfortably: "Boss Shao, this ...... The word-of-mouth and phone calls and letter surveys we have collected in the past week show that citizens prefer our TV series. Therefore, the average rating of "Fire Rose" has now passed 26, and it is dead to the "Dream of Red Mansions" that ATV is now broadcasting! ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, he doesn't get to the point at all, Fang Yihua secretly screams in his heart, and sure enough, before she can speak, he heard Shao Yifu slap the table angrily: "Is the rating of 26 very high?" "Dream of Red Mansions" has a bad reputation as ours, and it can still get an average rating of almost 24 points. Director Du, you were originally from ATV, can you tell me about it, was the average rating of ATV so high in the same period in the past? Can anyone sue me for this? ”
