Back in his office, Li Liqiang first laughed silently a few times, and then punched the prisoner for five minutes, and finally calmed down the excitement in his heart.

The ratings of "Step by Step" on the first day can reach 1.4%, which has beaten most of the programs broadcast by all TV stations in the same period, and has the potential to become a big hit.

Especially under the pressure of CCTV, Beijing Satellite TV has not premiered a TV series with such high ratings for a long time, which is also the glory of Beijing Satellite TV.

And the quality of "Step by Step" is reliable, Li Liqiang believes that the follow-up ratings will not plummet, and will even rise further, as long as there are no major accidents, there is no suspense about the popularity of this drama.

After thinking about it, Li Liqiang picked up the landline and dialed Gu Cancan.

"Hey, Director Li." Gu Cancan picked up the phone and said.

"Mr. Gu?" Li Liqiang's tone was a little hurried.

Gu Cancan said: "Yes, Director Li, what's wrong?" ”

"Haha, Mr. Gu, guess what, what are the ratings?" Li Liqiang said excitedly.

Gu Cancan said funny: "It seems that Director Li has good news?" ”

"The average rating was 1.51, and the highest rating even reached 1.54, breaking our station's premiere record." Li Liqiang's tone became excited again: "And this trend is going higher, if you continue to sow it, maybe it will reach 2." ”

Li Liqiang was a little excited, this achievement was unimaginable on Beijing Satellite TV.

Gu Cancan smiled and said, "That's really good." ”

This result can be regarded as expected by Gu Cancan.

First of all, the quality of the TV series is there, Hu Mei's directing level is the top in China, plus the story is good, the actors' acting skills and appearance are all online, and there is no suppression of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" when it is broadcast, and the theme is novel, it is not normal if it is not popular.

But Li Liqiang didn't know, he lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Gu, I will give you a thorough understanding in private, the TV series is in time for the summer file, and our ratings are likely to enter the top ten in this summer file." ”

Gu Cancan replied with a smile: "Haha, I hope so." Congratulations in advance, Director Li. ”

Li Liqiang laughed: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Then he paused for a moment and said slowly: "That's the case, Mr. Gu, our director hopes that you can sell us the rights to the second round of replays." ”

Gu Cancan was holding the cat in his hand, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel heavy in his hand, and the cat in his arms meowed twice in dissatisfaction.

The premiere has just begun, and it's time to buy the second round of copyrights?

Gu Cancan said with a smile: "Director Li, you can contact Mr. Su about the second round of broadcasting, this is a good thing for us, I think Mr. Su will be very happy." ”

Li Liqiang listened, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, okay, then I'll contact Mr. Su." ”

After saying that, the two hung up the phone.

Hanging up the phone, Gu Cancan smiled lightly and said to the crew, "Are you ready?" ”

"Alright. That, Mr. Gu, is the cat in your arms. ”

"Uh-oh." Gu Cancan reluctantly handed the cat over.

As the saying goes, sucking cats is cool for a while, and sucking has been cool. Gu Cancan was really reluctant to give the soft Mimi to others.

This cat appears a few times in the movie, it is a living background board, with a docile and clingy personality, and it is the group pet in the crew.

Seeing that the crew was still preparing for filming, Gu Cancan called Su Luo.

"Sister Su Luo, Beijing Satellite TV wants to buy the second round of broadcast rights of our Langya list, just now Director Li Liqiang called me to find out, and I asked him to talk to you."

Su Luo was a little surprised when he heard this, Beijing Satellite TV has already spent a lot of money to buy the premiere rights, and now it has just aired two episodes, and it is going to buy the second round of broadcast rights, which is too strange, right?

Su Luo pondered for two seconds and said, "Hmm, I see. "Step by Step" has just been broadcast, and we are going to buy the second round, and it seems that the ratings of our drama have far exceeded everyone's expectations. ”

Gu Cancan nodded and said, "Well, he said a little, the average rating of "Step by Step" is 1.41, breaking the record of Beijing Satellite TV's eight-o'clock file. ”

"Huh?" Su Luo couldn't help but exclaim: "The premiere rating is 1.41? ”

She now understands why Beijing Satellite TV is in such a hurry to buy the second round of broadcast rights.

Beijing Satellite TV is still quite courageous, and after only watching the ratings on the first day, he dared to make the decision to buy the second round of broadcast groups.

However, Su Luo also understood what Gu Cancan meant, and in business, the matter of the second round of broadcasting rights was still slightly released.

How can you talk about the price now when the ratings of this show are higher.

If the TV series can break 1, it can definitely be regarded as a high-quality product, and now this starting point is 1.41, as long as the plot behind it does not collapse, this is the fire drama that will dominate the screen this year.

Shanghai Hai, Yu Zheng Studio.

Yu Zheng is in the office.

Yu Zheng frowned and looked at a form in his hand, which was the ratings of the TV series "Ten Thousand Tears" produced by Yu Zheng's studio in recent days.

On May 4th, "10,000 Tears" was broadcast on Mango Satellite TV on the first day, with an audience rating of 0.7, which can be said to be a very good result, and it is a good start.

The ratings of this TV series were also close to 1 for a time, but with the flooding and collapse of the later episodes, now that the finale is coming, the ratings are not as good as the premiere.

"Smack."

Yu Zheng slammed the ratings on the desk and angrily scolded the subordinates in front of him: "Just be embarrassed to post good news on Weibo?" Is this called a high level of directing? Is this called good shooting quality? Without the company's vigorous publicity, it is not that the ratings of Mango TV have always ranked among the top three in China, is this broken drama going to fall below the sea level? ”

When Yu Zheng was angry, his face sank like water, and the staff who stood in front of him and was scolded were silent.

He picked up the phone and dialed out, "Tell Juniper to get him to my office." ”

After speaking, he paused, and changed his words, "Forget it, call everyone to the conference room and have a meeting." ”

Putting down the phone, Yu Zheng rubbed his temples, he knew that his anger was unreasonable for "10,000 Tears", and the anxiety in his heart actually came from "Step by Step".

"Step by Step" is half a step faster than Yu Zheng's "Palace Lock Heart Jade", not only the start time, the finishing time, but even the release time, how hard Yu Zheng worked hard, it was still a day later than "Step by Step".

This feeling of not going well all the time made Yu Zheng always feel a sense of anger in his heart.

Especially in the morning, when I learned the ratings of the premiere of Beijing Satellite TV's "Step by Step", it was even worse, and the shadow in Yu Zheng's heart was even greater.

......

The word "step by step" became a hot search word the next day, not only in some forums, but also in many inconspicuous small places, such as many classmates, relatives and friends groups, such as the circle of friends, the words "step by step" appear more and more times.

"Sister Liu, let me tell you, I watched a new drama on Beijing Satellite TV yesterday, called "Step by Step", my god is so good-looking, you must watch it tonight."

"What? You didn't watch "Step by Step" yesterday? Then you missed a particularly good TV series, now Beijing Satellite TV has broadcast the third episode, if you want to watch the first two episodes, you can only wait for the replay. ”

"Auntie, are you tired from work? Shall I introduce you to a TV series to relax? It's really good-looking, it's a puppy to deceive people, Beijing Satellite TV's "Step by Step" at 8 o'clock in the evening, you must watch it~! ”

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, more and more people were fooled into going to Beijing Satellite TV to watch the Langya list, and after watching it, they went to help recommend and publicize, under the mainstream media, an undercurrent is surging.

In the evening, 7:40.

Jianguo Road, Haidian District, Beijing TV Station.

Beijing Satellite TV Center.

In the ratings data monitoring room, which is only forty or fifty square meters, it is already crowded with people at the moment.

There is Liu Li, deputy director in charge of the production and distribution of Beijing Satellite TV's programs, directors of various departments, and other staff members who are curious to see the excitement.

It's summer, the weather is a little stuffy, and the monitoring room is full of large screens, exuding heat, more than a dozen people in a cabin, even if the air conditioning is on, the temperature is still more than 20 degrees.

But no one complained in the monitoring room.

"It's up, it's up, the ratings have gone up." The staff sitting in front of the ratings monitoring screen said emotionally.

When Liu Li and the others heard this, they suddenly came to their senses.

They looked at the screen pointed by the staff, and saw that the straight line of ratings that had been crawling really had a tendency to rise.

Liu Li clenched his fists and asked without turning his head, "What time is it?" Hasn't the TV series started yet? ”

Li Liqiang, who was mainly in charge of the evening TV series, stood beside Liu Li, looked at his watch, and replied: "Director Liu, it's 19:45 now." ”

Ma Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Fifteen minutes left?" ”

Li Liqiang glanced at it again, confirmed that it was 7:45, and nodded again.

This shows that many viewers have turned on the TV early to tune in to Beijing Satellite TV, waiting for the TV series to start.

"Li Liqiang, how did you talk about the second round of broadcasting rights with the other side?" Liu Likeng walked to the position of deputy director, his psychological quality was still very high, and he quickly recovered from his surprise and asked.

Li Liqiang shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, and said: "Although the bright era is not explicitly stated, I think they mean to wait for the price to sell." ”

Liu Li nodded noncommittally after hearing this.

Although the attitude of the bright era made him a little unhappy, with the ratings of the premiere of "Step by Step" yesterday, the bright era is qualified to be sold at a price.

However, high ratings for the premiere do not necessarily mean that you can continue laughing all the time, and there are many TV series that crash after the first broadcast is extremely high.

Of course, he would be very happy if the ratings of "Step by Step" could go all the way up.

Li Liqiang saw that Liu Li did not speak, Li Liqiang, who had always known Liu Li's character, knew in his heart that Liu Li's attitude towards the bright era was unhappy.

If "Step by Step" goes all the way, it would be fine, if "Step by Step" appeared Waterloo, the later cooperation between the two sides, Liu Li may not be as supportive as he is now.

The group stopped talking and silently looked at the ratings curve.

At 7:18, the rating was 0.85.

At 7:50, the rating was 0.88.

At 7:53, the rating was 0.91.

At 7:55, the ratings of the evening slot suddenly and rapidly increased to 1.09.

"Wow!"

Finally, someone from the TV station couldn't help but marvel.

Next, they witnessed what it means for a dragon to raise its head.

In just five minutes, by eight o'clock, the ratings curve took on a rapid 70-degree rise.

But Li Liqiang's heart sank.

At eight o'clock sharp, the rating was 1.40, which has not exceeded yesterday's average rating of 1.41.

The third episode of "Step by Step" officially began.

Liu Li said in a deep voice: "The ratings are good, the same as yesterday." The third episode of "Step by Step" began, and they all cheered up. Xiao Zhang, keep an eye on the ratings, if we fight this battle, we will be able to raise our eyebrows in the future when we face Yang 8 and those guys who watch jokes. ”

"yes, I see." The crowd replied.

Li Liqiang wiped the sweat from his face and stared at the ratings monitoring screen.

Yes, today is also the time for the premiere of "Palace Lock Heart Jade", and Mango Satellite TV has also invested a lot of resources in the promotion of the drama "Palace Lock Heart Jade", the same novel theme of the big heroine, and it is starring the popular little flower Yang Mi, the initial ratings should not be low, and some viewers will be diverted.

Liu Li and other department directors, producers, and hosts all stood motionless behind the staff, and the atmosphere was terrible for a while.

There was only the occasional sound of staff tapping on the keyboard and rubbing a pen on paper.

Xiao Zhang, the leader of the ratings monitoring, didn't have time to wipe his sweat, and beads of sweat dripping down his face, forehead, and neck, but Xiao Zhang didn't realize it, just stared at the ratings screen.

Liu Li, who was very close to him, would look up at the screen for a while, and look down at what Xiao Zhang was scratching on the paper.

No wonder he is not nervous, every time he goes to the Propaganda Department for a meeting, Liu Li goes, because Beijing Satellite TV is with CCTV, the sense of presence in TV dramas is very weak, if he can fight a beautiful turnaround battle this time, then he can really raise his eyebrows.

"Bang."

A loud bang sounded in the monitoring room, Liu Li was startled, and looked at the source of the sound, it turned out that Xiao Zhang, who had been busy, smashed his fist on the table.

Liu Li's heart trembled, and his little heart fluttered and jumped faster, what happened?

This is just the beginning, is it possible that the ratings have dropped?

Thinking of this, Liu Li said in a heavy tone: "Xiao Zhang, it's the ratings... Has it fallen? ”

"Director, it's up, it's up 0.3%." Xiao Zhang's face was excited, "Now the rating is 1.44!" ”

"Good!" Liu Li couldn't help but applaud loudly.

What does this mean?

It shows that this "Step by Step Horror" is well filmed, otherwise there can be so many viewers to watch it?

However, although excited, Liu Li quickly calmed down and ordered: "Don't be excited so early, there is still a long way to go, Xiao Zhang, you continue to stare at it." ”

"Okay."

"Ugh." Liu Li couldn't help but sigh while being excited.

"Director, what's wrong?" Li Liqiang was puzzled, shouldn't the director be happy when the ratings are rising?

Liu Li smiled bitterly and said, "If we take down the replay rights and rebroadcast them directly during the day, the ratings will definitely be higher, alas." ”

Li Liqiang also felt a pity when he heard it, but there was no way, the attitude of the bright era was ambiguous, and he didn't give authorization.
