Chapter 134: Schadenfreude (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
After "The Cabin in the Woods" set a staggering premiere of more than 65 million in the first episode, it did not experience explosive growth like "Love Hunter" in the later period, but began to slowly decline after the third episode peaked at 150 million views.
As of last night, after the broadcast of the latest eighth episode on September 14, the ratings of the premiere were only about 100 million, and they fell by more than 30% unconsciously.
Fortunately, he Wang Gaoming has been prepared for a long time, and the direction of the second season has been set.
And after the tempering of the two outdoor variety shows "Cabin in the Woods" and "Sister Over Flowers", the production experience of his team is not comparable to the past.
The senior management of the variety show department and the TV station also saw that the transformation of outdoor variety shows was the general trend of the future, so they also gave Wang Gaoming enough trust and opportunities to try, and did not make any restrictions on Wang Gaoming's current permissions.
On the contrary, for the second season of "Cabin in the Woods", the support for "Cabin in the Island" is even greater.
In addition to promising that the TV station would negotiate with the local government at the filming location to obtain appropriate support, it also purchased a set of advanced large-scale rocker cameras for Wang Gaoming's program team to use, and gave his program team more quotas.
Up to now, the program team led by Wang Gaoming, plus the team of Zhao Xueyi and Hong Lingjing, is already a medium-sized variety show group.
Although it is still difficult to produce three variety shows at the same time, as long as the efficiency of two people is used for each person, it can be barely done.
It's also time for those new employees to see and experience first-hand the enthusiasm of the old East Heirs.
Let's all work overtime!
As a leader, Wang Gaoming has already made a bed in his office.
As for the wife, there will be resentment......
Wang Gaoming already has a wealth of experience in dealing with such small things.
When the time comes, go home and kneel for two hours, and then fight all night, using both soft and hard, and you will definitely be coaxed.
The big thing that Wang Gaoming is worried about now is how to let Li Yichen participate in the recording of "The Island Cabin".
deceived him so many times, Li Yichen must have developed immune antibodies, and ordinary deception techniques can't fool him.
If you want to find a solution once and for all, in the end, you have to make Li Yichen not resist starring in variety shows.
But Li Yichen has the talent to write scripts, and he has a headache!
Wang Gaoming rubbed his temples, everyone else was busy, and no one could help him with advice.
"Sister Over Flowers" will premiere at 8 p.m. on October 5, following "Cabin in the Woods", and the recording schedule of "Cabin on the Island" has also been set.
will start on October 5th, and the recording time for each time is still two days and three nights, a total of five weeks, and by November 4th, it will take over "Sister Over Flowers" in the future, and the schedule is very tight.
Today is September 15th, and there is not much time left for Wang Gaoming to turn Li Yichen into the car.
Money is a small thing.
Li Yichen participated in the recording of "Sister Over Flowers", Wang Gaoming gave him 20,000 yuan per episode of the starring fee, and "Sister Over Flowers" will finally cut out eight episodes of the official program, plus one episode of the director's cut.
The Director's Cut is the inspiration that Wang Gaoming got from the tidbits of "Love Hunter", which received a huge response before, and Li Yichen's observation diary (director's cut version).
Therefore, "Sister Over Flowers" will broadcast a total of nine episodes, so Li Yichen's starring fee is 180,000.
And Wang Gaoming has also turned over the invitation intentions sent to Li Yichen before, and knows that the program team of other TV stations has already offered 40,000 yuan to invite Li Yichen, so this time in "Island Cabin", Wang Gaoming wants to raise Li Yichen's starring fee to 50,000 yuan per episode.
Dongchuan TV lacks everything, but it is not short of money!
In just half a year, Li Yichen is no longer as poor as when he participated in "Love Hunter", so the only way that can make him not resist starring in variety shows is to play the emotional card.
Wang Gaoming stood up, holding his chin in his hand, and walked around the office in a small circle, when he suddenly noticed a small stack of documents from "Sister Over Flowers" sent by Hong Lingjing in the corner of his desk this morning.
The top is the piece of paper, the note that coaxed Li Yichen onto the plane, or was made in Dengfeng Forest.
Wang Gaoming picked up the note and stared at it for a moment, the light in his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"There it is."
He hurriedly sat back in his chair, flipped the note to the blank back, and picked up his pen to fill in a line of small print.
"Additional notes on the note: 1. After the end of "Sister Over Flowers", Li Yichen will participate in the recording of the variety show "Island Cabin" at ten o'clock in the morning on October 5 of the same year.
After Wang Gaoming finished writing, he carefully put away this precious note.
Playing the emotional card...... Next time.
This time, let's take advantage of the name of job transfer.
After this year, he will definitely not engage in these little tricks.
……
In Times Film and Television Company, the one who is most concerned about the ratings of "Cabin in the Woods" is Ye Liwei's agent Tian Guang, followed by Wei Kai, director of the brand operation department.
Because of Wei Kai's misjudgment last time, Ye Liwei lost the high-quality variety show resource of the second season of "Cabin in the Woods", although his own position was not affected, but some gossip began to circulate in the company, which made him hold his breath in his heart.
As the last actual person to take the blame, Ye Liwei's agent Tian Guang, his thoughts are more complicated.
I hope that "Cabin in the Woods" will soar into the sky, improve the artists he brings, Ye Liwei's national popularity, and at the same time slap Wei Kai's face again.
But I also hope that "The Cabin in the Woods" will go high and low, and reduce the opportunity cost loss in my heart for the future remuneration of the second season of "The Cabin in the Woods".
This is the same as his previous stock speculation, if the stock he sells rises as soon as he sells, he must have resentment, and the more the stock he sells, the longer his resentment will last.
If the stock he sells falls as soon as he sells it, it will be celebrated by the whole world, which shows that he has foresight.
The ratings of the recent episodes of "Cabin in the Woods" have been slowly declining, and Tian Guang is still happy and worried, but Wei Kaike is so happy that he has been drinking alone at home for two consecutive days.
"How do you think you've been happy for the past two days?" Wei Kai's wife was curious.
Wei Kai smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just think that some people are short-sighted, and listening to the wind is rain, which is really ridiculous." ”
Judging from the current trend of "Cabin in the Woods", the second season will definitely hit the streets.
Wei Kai gloated that there might not even be a second season.
Now he wanted to see who in the company dared to gossip and question his decision-making.
Even those who had gossiped before, Wei Kai was also determined to pull them out one by one, mock them fiercely, and then let the personnel department fire them.
