At this moment, many viewers instinctively stayed in front of the TV to watch the latest episode of Oriental Star!

After all, after the first three episodes of the program, Oriental Star has also accumulated a lot of audience base, and many viewers will watch the program on time by habit.

At the same time, many people in the industry also paid attention to the broadcast of the Oriental Star on time.

Everyone is looking forward to it, the last episode of Oriental Star, which reached a terrifying rating of 3.5, can this issue be stabilized?

Especially......

Without the ratings pillar Wang Cheng, how much will the ratings drop?

No one believes that Oriental Star can continue to have ratings above 3 o'clock in the last period, they just want to see how much it will drop and whether it can stabilize at a high level.

Including, everyone in the Oriental Star program group thinks like this......

After all, Wang Cheng's performance in the last period was too wonderful and out of the circle.

Without Wang Cheng in this issue, even if the other contestants perform wonderfully, as long as they are not as good as Wang Cheng, the ratings will inevitably decline.

Wu Tong, the director of your program group in the spring and summer, and several other assistant directors also gathered together to watch the latest episode of Oriental Star.

The broadcast is still Wu Han's performance!

The cooperation between Wu Han and Luo Qiang, a gold medal dancer, has now become a model of a good story in the industry.

Luo Qiang continued to absorb Wang Cheng's dance style, and at the same time created his own things as much as possible, and then fused these things for Wu Han and a few others to show.

And Wu Han's strength and talent are all excellent levels, so they can be displayed almost perfectly!

As a result, there is a dazzling stage effect.

Every time I perform, there is progress.

Wu Tong stared at the performance of Wu Han and several people in the picture, and said in a low voice: "This stage effect is very good." ”

An assistant director nodded in agreement: "Yes, Wu Han's performance has been breaking through the level of stage performances in recent years. is only a little worse than Wang Cheng. Wen Yixiao, the very popular girl on Shonan Satellite TV, is at most about the same as Wu Han. ”

Another assistant director said softly: "He may be more than a little worse than Wang Cheng......"

Several people listened and nodded slightly in agreement!

Truly......

The gap between Wu Han and Li Feifei and others and Wang Cheng is more than a point, at least a gap in rank.

When Wu Han's performance ended.

The faces of several people were slightly solemn and serious.

Wu Tong said seriously: "The opening of the Oriental Star is a success. Hopefully, our next performance will be a success. ”

An assistant director said: "It depends on Wang Cheng's performance." Xiao Daohong and the others have already exerted their strength and potential after the previous performances, and it is impossible to make a big improvement. ”

"By the way, today Wang Cheng said that he was going to use a recording studio and was he going to make a new work? Can it be the same level as the Jingwumen? ”

Another assistant director asked!

Wu Tong shook his head: "Who knows!" When it comes to music creation, before the performance, no one knows what the market reaction will be. However, we can only trust Wang Cheng! ”

He didn't tell several assistant directors that Wang Cheng created a new work to perform, and he spent a lot of money to get it through Liu Jinfeng.

As long as Wang Cheng's performance is successful, then he will have to sign Wang Cheng's remaining installments at a high price, which is at least more than 20 million expenses.

This time, Wu Tong is also desperate, once he fails, he may immediately lose his position in charge of the guide tube, and he can't wait for the next season.

However, even if you don't bet on this time, with your unimproved ratings in spring and summer, he will be replaced next season.

So, he had to bet.

Staring at the TV screen, Wu Tong just wanted to end it quickly, so that he could quickly know the ratings of this issue of Oriental Star.

The more the ratings of Oriental Star dropped, the happier he became, not because of the gloating of his competitors, but because it proved that Wang Cheng had a greater impact on the ratings, the higher the success rate of poaching Wang Cheng!

……

Magic City!

He Lei and Li Guang didn't sleep for two days and one night, and they were still gathered in the office at this time, drinking coffee to refresh themselves, watching the broadcast of the show, and waiting for the staff to report the news.

Watching Wu Han and other contestants perform one after another, the two are also quite satisfied with this episode, in general, it is above the level, and it is definitely a super high-level production among all the draft traffic variety shows in recent years.

Tuk Tuk ......

There was a knock on the door.

The staff came in and handed a piece of paper to Li Guang: "Li, this is the real-time data of the broadcast." ”

Li Guang quickly took it and took a look, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he handed it to He Lei again: "Take a look, we may be stable this time." ”

The staff had already left, He Lei took the piece of paper and quickly glanced at it, and said with a smile: "There is a rating of 2.2 at the beginning of the broadcast, which is higher than the last broadcast, as long as it is improved a little more in the future, reaching 2.5, then our issue will be considered successful." ”

The start was good, and both of them relaxed a little, and ordered their favorite takeout to prepare for dinner.

But......

Half an hour later, the staff sent the data in again, and then quickly left, seemingly unwilling to stay longer.

When Li Guang and He Lei saw this, their hearts sank, and they immediately got together to watch it!

Just one look!

The two of them felt a little dizzy.

I haven't seen the numbers yet, but the plummeting curve table makes the two of them afraid to look at the specific numbers, afraid that they will be scared.

The two looked at each other before looking at the last number!

See that glaring 1.5......

Li Guang was so frightened that he didn't hold it steady, the paper in his hand fell to the ground, and then sat down on the chair with a heavy butt.

In just half an hour, it dropped from 2.2 to 1.5, a one-third plummet......

There is still more than half an hour to come, so if it goes down like this, won't it have to be lowered to below 1 point?

That......

He Lei also sat on the sofa one by one, the whole person was a little confused, and he couldn't believe it for a while, and then immediately bent down to pick up the paper, looked at it carefully, and made sure that it was wrong!

However, after looking at it, the plummeting curve was still the same, and his eyes were a little sore when the number was finally fixed at 1.5.

The tiredness accumulated over the day and night disappeared in an instant, and I only felt cold.

Neither of them dared to speak.

Li Guang leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and quickly began to figure out how to deal with the follow-up.

He Lei looked at the piece of paper in a daze, and he couldn't accept this fact.

He could have imagined that Wang Cheng's departure would affect the ratings, but he never imagined that the impact would be so huge!

All of them were crazy about investing this week, and frequently interacted with several judges and several popular contestants to shoot promotional videos to increase the popularity of the show, but in exchange for this result......

He Lei couldn't accept it.

Later, the staff did not come many times, but waited until the end of the program broadcast before sending the overall data together, and they didn't dare to stay for a moment, so they quickly said goodbye and left.

When the two saw this, they knew that the result might not be good, and for a while, neither of them dared to pick up the paper!

A few seconds passed!

Li Guang picked it up, glanced at it and handed it to He Lei, then fell on the chair again, closed his eyes and thought.

After He Lei took it and took a look, he felt dizzy, and the last number was so exciting that he almost fainted!

Final rating of 1.4, average rating of 1.7.

It's a few notches below their expected peak rating of 2.5, and an average rating of around 2.0.

Compared with the peak rating of 3.5 in the previous period, the average rating of 2.8 is countless grades lower!

The office fell silent again.

Jingle Bell ......

The phone rings.

Li Guang instantly opened his eyes and sat up.

Because, it was the landline on his desk that rang.

The people who made this call were all from the station.

Li Guang glanced at the caller ID and immediately picked up the phone and connected, and said nervously: "Well, director! ”

On the other side is one of the deputy directors.

Li Guang hurriedly explained: "Well, I saw the ratings, and we have tried our best." ”

"Wang Cheng? Director, Wang Cheng has signed a contract to go to another program group, and it is impossible for us to get it back. ”

"What? Let Wang Cheng breach the contract? Let's pay liquidated damages? Director, this will offend the ...... of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV"

……

After a burst of explanation, Li Guang hung up the phone sweating profusely.

He now regrets 10,000 in his heart, regretting that he didn't forcibly persuade He Lei to stay with Wang Cheng in the first place!

What's wrong with a little problem?

Bear with me!

He Lei listened to Li Guang's call and didn't know what to say for a while.

He also regretted it a little in his heart, knowing that he might have drifted a little at the beginning, feeling that he was the director, he was the biggest, and he also had the credit for the ratings......

Now it seems that his credit may be minimal.

Li Guang looked at He Lei and said solemnly: "You also heard it, the station asked to invite Wang Cheng back again, and the ratings must be pulled up again!" Even if Wang Cheng is allowed to breach the contract, we can pay liquidated damages. ”

He Lei just wanted to speak.

Li Guang waved his hand directly, stopped what He Lei wanted to say, and said directly: "You have to adapt to any strange problems with him!" If the ratings can't be pulled up later, then what will be the consequences for the two of us, do you know? ”

He Lei nodded: "I know!" I agree! ”

He can't say anymore that my stage doesn't allow such awesome big names, in this case, nothing is important to lose the ratings.

Li Guang took out the phone directly in front of He Lei and wanted to call Wang Cheng's agent Zhang Xiuhua who was in the program group before, but he felt that Zhang Xiuhua would definitely not be able to call the shots, so he immediately found Liu Jinfeng and dialed out.

The call was answered quickly......

Li Guang smiled and said, "Director Liu, there is something to discuss with you!" ”

Liu Jinfeng returned to Rongcheng again at this time to see Ma Yunfei's situation in person, Ma Yunfei is still the company's next main player.

Wang Cheng and Zhang Hanwen were all accidents, and the company's plans would not be messed up because of this.

After receiving Li Guang's call, Liu Jinfeng was also shocked in his heart, remembering the Oriental Star program broadcast today, and said immediately: "Li Chu, if you have something, just say, I can help, absolutely help!" ”

Li Guang took a deep breath, adjusted his tone, and asked, "Wang Cheng and Chunxia have signed a contract with your program team?" ”

Liu Jinfeng: "Well, I signed an issue, and the program team called all the money!" ”

Li Guang glanced at He Lei and asked again: "Director Liu, if, I mean, if our Oriental Star wants to invite Wang Cheng back again, do you think it is possible?" ”

Forehead?

Liu Jinfeng just came out of the airport and sat in the car to the hotel, when he heard this, his face was full of surprise, and he immediately thought that it might be that the ratings of the program team were not ideal.

Thinking around, Liu Jinfeng replied: "Li Chu, this matter is a little difficult. The contract over there has been signed, the liquidated damages are a bit high, and the relationship between Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV and us is also good, we can't say! ”

Li Guang immediately said: "How much is the liquidated damages?" Our program team is coming out! As for the negotiation with Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, our program team will come forward, and you don't need Dongxing Entertainment to come forward. ”

This moment!

Li Guang and He Lei once again used their personal experience to understand a little bit - no face is as important as the inside.

In the face of ratings, personal dignity, personal face, worthless!

When Liu Jinfeng heard this, he knew that the ratings might have fallen a little badly, otherwise Li Guang would not have been so anxious, and said with a wry smile: "Li Chu, this matter, I really can't help!" However, when Wang Cheng finishes the spring and summer with you, you can contact me at that time. ”

Liu Jinfeng still refused to breach the contract.

If you mix in the circle, your reputation must be preserved.

Otherwise, you will definitely offend people, and it will be difficult to mix after offending people, and you will have no reputation, and others will not dare to cooperate with you, otherwise what if you break the contract.

In particular, it is the first-line commercial satellite TV like Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV that is offended, which has a huge impact on an entertainment company.

Although, if you don't help Li Guang, you will also be remembered by Li Guang, but in the final analysis, Liu Jinfeng and Dongxing Entertainment can't be blamed for this matter, so it is not considered to offend Li Guang and Dragon TV.

Li Guang was silent for a while, and he also knew the reason for Liu Jinfeng's refusal, and he said again: "I heard that your offer in spring and summer is seven and a half million. If Wang Cheng returns to our program group in breach of contract, we will sign the remaining episodes at a price of 8.5 million, and we will also pay the liquidated damages. ”

Generally speaking, the liquidated damages for this kind of program announcement contract will not be too high, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions at most, and will not be as exaggerated as the 200 million liquidated damages in the trainee contract. This is also to leave room for celebrity artists, after all, what if something happens to the show and defaults? It's not a big deal to lose tens or millions.

When Liu Jinfeng heard Li Guang's quotation number, his eyes instantly bloomed!

There are still four or five issues left of Oriental Star, and the price of 8.5 million yuan per issue is already the ceiling of first-line celebrities, and you can get more than 40 million yuan for a few issues!

This ability to absorb gold......

has surpassed the other two first-line top performers under Dongxing Entertainment.

Liu Jinfeng's heartbeat immediately accelerated, and he was so excited that he wanted to breach the contract directly!

But......

There was silence for more than ten seconds.

Liu Jinfeng's reason still defeated his impulse, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Li Chu!" There's really nothing I can do. I can only wait for Wang Cheng to have you in the spring and summer, and then talk about it. However, Li Division, Spring and Summer have your contract, and they have the right of first refusal! ”

Right of first refusal?

That is, when the time comes, you will have to bid with you in spring and summer, and the price must be higher than that of the other party in order to buy Wang Cheng back......

Li Guang and He Lei both felt a headache at the same time.

"Okay, Director Liu, I hope we can continue to cooperate next time."

Li Guang didn't say anything more, since the other party refused so resolutely, it would be nonsense to say more.

Liu Jinfeng also said politely: "Okay, Li, continue to cooperate next time." ”

Hung up the phone.

Liu Jinfeng immediately called an acquaintance to ask about the ratings broadcast by Oriental Star.
