Li Chi is just a small variety show director of Xiangnan Satellite TV, hanging under the name of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, working in Xiangnan Satellite TV all the year round, there is almost no fame in the circle, and no one knows.

Because, the shows he participated in the production were all small productions that lasted for a long time, with no ratings and popularity, and he was just a behind-the-scenes person, so it was normal for no one to know him, and he had long been used to such a salted fish life.

But......

When he received the notice that Wang Cheng would come to participate in the recording of his program tomorrow, Li Chi was a little confused.

On the phone, a deputy director congratulated: "Lao Li, I finally won a chance for you this time!" Although Wang Cheng has had a lot of negative news recently, his popularity is definitely still the first, and we hope that the ratings of this episode of his show can reach more than two, which is not difficult, right? Lao Zhang said that as long as there is Wang Cheng's program, the ratings are guaranteed to be four points, and we just hope that you can pass two. ”

Li Chi was still a little confused: "Director, does Wang Cheng really want to come to my show?" Is the program team enough to invite him? This year, we only have more than 2 million production costs left! ”

The deputy director said affirmatively: "Don't worry about money, I'll help you get it done, you just need to record this episode." ”

Li Chi gradually appeared in his heart with surprises, he finally cooperated with a super-giant coffee brand, which he couldn't have imagined before, this show has been on the air for two years, and the biggest star artist he has ever cooperated with is still a second-tier powerful star in southern Hunan, the traffic popularity is very average, and the ratings of that issue are about 0.5, but that is already the peak.

However, he still said with some concern: "Director, is the broadcast time of our program moved?" ”

Midnight stalls......

How did he manage ratings above two o'clock?

It was broadcast at half past ten in the evening and continued to be broadcast until twelve in the morning, so how could others have time to watch TV during this time period?

The record of the highest midnight ratings of all TV stations in the country is only about a little, it was a variety show on Shonan Satellite TV a few years ago, and only one episode soared a little, and then it quickly fell to about 0.3, and then it stopped broadcasting not long after......

The normal midnight ratings, that is, around 0.4 and 0.3, are even lower at 0.2 and 0.1.

The TV stations and investors of the midnight program don't have much hope, such programs are used to make up the time, the production is a little passable, and the ratings are not too ugly!

Ratings above 2.0?

For more than ten years, no TV station has done it......

Not to mention the golden age of television ten or twenty years ago, it has no reference significance for the present.

The director said earnestly: "Lao Li, the competition in our station is so fierce, where do you think your broadcast time can be moved?" ”

Li Chi was silent.

Xiangnan Satellite TV is still the first brother of the local commercial TV station, although the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV in the back is very close, and the gap is very small, but it is still the first brother position, there are many programs under it, and there are many programs in planning.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for him to want a good time slot at a time of 0:2 for a midnight show.

Li Chi was silent for two seconds, and then complained: "But, director." Our station's trump card program, the weekend prime time is only a little more than a little bit of ratings! ”

Director: "But, Lao Li, this time we invited Wang Cheng to you." Tomorrow's idol will be broadcast live at five o'clock in the afternoon, and the time period is not as good as half past ten in the evening, and everyone can achieve more than five o'clock in the mythical ratings! You can't do both? ”

At this time, Li Chi had nothing to say.

After all, the live broadcast time period at five o'clock in the afternoon is really hell, and it is just a little better than the morning time slot, and it is indeed not as good as the time slot at ten o'clock in the evening.

After all, although it is embarrassing at ten o'clock in the evening, after all, everyone is still the evening time after work.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone is in class or at work, and there is no time to watch TV!

People can achieve mythical ratings above five o'clock when they start broadcasting at five o'clock in the afternoon, but you can't?

However, Li Chi always felt that something was wrong, thought about it, and then said: "That director, I want to have a midnight stall next weekend, is it okay?" ”

The broadcast time of Country Life is midnight on Wednesday, and at this time, there is really no one, which is why this show has not been stopped, because no one really wants to compete in this time period.

If you want a midnight file on the weekend, it will definitely be better, coupled with Wang Cheng's popularity, the ratings will definitely increase by a wave, and he still doesn't dare to think that he can exceed a little bit, and it is enough not to lose to the ace program of Shonan Satellite TV.

However, the director refused: "Lao Li, it's too hasty now!" It's hard to adjust the time, if you want to adjust the time, at least half a month later, do you think you can wait? ”

Of course not......

Li Chi shook his head: "By that time, Wang Cheng's peak of popularity has passed." ”

He also knows that Wang Cheng has just left the idol stage of tomorrow for about a week, and the popularity accumulated before is still in the explosive and peak period, but it may not be in half a month.

Helpless!

Li Chi: "Okay, director, what else is there to support in Taiwan?" ”

Director: "The support of the station is that you can play as much as you like in this issue of Wang Cheng, and there is no upper limit on the funding!" However, everything is based on Wang Cheng's intentions, don't let him be angry and dissatisfied. We also hope to continue to work with him in the future......"

Li Chi was speechless: "So, I'm just a pathfinder?" ”

Director: "Don't think about it, keep it up!" ”

After saying that, the director hung up the phone.

Li Chi looked at the phone and was still speechless for a while, and it felt a little like a dream, which was a treatment he had never dreamed of before.

There is no upper limit on the production budget for the addition of super giant stars......

Who would dare to think of such a good thing?

Buzz Buzz......

Suddenly, the phone rang, and he woke up suddenly.

Seeing a string of unfamiliar numbers, Li Chi didn't dare to slack off, after all, he was just a transparent little variety show director, and no one dared to offend him all along.

quickly connected the phone, and a capable woman's voice came from the other side: "May I ask if it is Mr. Li Chi, the director of Shonan Satellite TV and Country Life?" ”

Li Chi immediately replied: "Yes, yes, yes, I am, may I ask who you are?" ”

The woman's voice on the opposite side immediately said, "Hahaha, hello! Director Li, I am Wen Yixiao's agent Mo Jinhua, and I want to talk to you about cooperation! ”

Wen Yixiao?

Li Chi's face was full of surprise again.

Wen Yixiao walked out of the stage of Shonan Satellite TV, and then shined on the stage of tomorrow's idol, becoming a super popular young supergiant second only to Wang Cheng, he is very familiar with this.

The other party's agent called in person......

He guessed something in music, and immediately smiled: "Oh, it's Sister Mo, you have something to do with me?" ”

Mo Jinhua: "Yes, Director Li, our family Wen Yixiao wants to participate in your show, which is the one recorded by Wang Cheng tomorrow, what do you think?" ”

Mo Jinhua went straight to the topic, named the episode that Wang Cheng was going to record, and recorded it with Wang Cheng, lest the other party stagger the recording time, it would be funny, and when Wen Yixiao was angry, she really ran away, and Mo Jinhua might be swept out of the house by Yu Jinghong.

Li Chi smiled bitterly: "Sister Mo, we have invited Wang Cheng, the production fee is a little tight, and I may not be able to invite a super celebrity like Wen Yixiao." ”

As a young director, Li Chi instinctively began to cry poor.

There are more than two million production funds left this year, and three episodes of the program will be produced in the future.

Mo Jinhua said with a smile: "Director Li, we Wen Yixiao like your program format very much and want to experience it." Therefore, we can reduce the notification fee appropriately! Eight million issues, how about it? But I want to announce fifteen million ......."

Li Chi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking quickly, he said, "Sister Mo, I really hope to cooperate with Wen Yixiao." However, we can only give a maximum of 5 million in notification fees! ”

Mo Jinhua was silent for two seconds, and then said, "Yes, Director Li, happy cooperation!" ”

Li Chi had a smile full of surprise on his face: "Happy cooperation!" ”

Hung up the phone.

Li Chi quickly lit a cigarette and smoked it to calm himself down.

Wang Cheng is here!

Wen Yixiao is also here!

These are the two most important pillars of tomorrow's idols.

Is he going to replicate the ratings miracle of tomorrow's idol?

No way......

Can't float.

Calm down a bit.

Buzz Buzz......

The phone in Li Chi's hand rang again, he picked it up and looked at it, it was still a string of unfamiliar numbers, and he immediately connected: "Hey......"

A woman's voice still came from the other end of the phone: "Director Li, hello, I'm Han Xiao's agent Li Jing!" I'd like to talk to you about collaboration! ”

A few minutes later.

Li Chi put down the phone, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Han Xiao, who has more than 40 million fans, is also a super first-line celebrity who will become popular in tomorrow's idols!

However, it did not wait for him to calm down.

The phone rang again, and this time the other party was someone he knew: "Lao Li, I'm Peng Yuying, how about letting our family Ziqi go to you tomorrow to record a show?" It's the episode recorded by Wang Cheng! ”

"Notification fee? We are old acquaintances, you can just look at the notice fee, anyway, Ziqi also wants to have fun, go to the countryside to relax, if the money is not rich, let's not talk about it. ”

Li Chi didn't dare not really talk about money, and finally gave a price of three million in a single issue, lower than Wen Yixiao's five million, and Han Xiao's four million, after all, the number of coffee seats and fans is there, he can't give the price casually according to his mood, and if the one is not good, it will offend people.

And these people who called, but he couldn't afford to provoke them, and offending one of them might affect his future career.

"It seems that the legend that these people are pursuing Wang Cheng should be true!"

Li Chi muttered to himself in a low voice.

Buzz Buzz......

The phone rang again.

Li Chi's emotions had calmed down, and it was still an unfamiliar number, so he quickly connected: "Hello! ”

"Hello, Director Li, I'm An Keru's agent......"

"Oh, hello, hello!"

"That's right, Director Li, our family Keru wants to take a break recently, your show was recorded in the countryside, it's very good, can you arrange for Keru to go to your place to record a show? Oh, it's best to record with Wang Cheng, they also know each other, go to the countryside to experience life together, and have a ...... to take care of."

All right!

It's for Wang Cheng again.

It is rumored that An Keru is also interested in Wang Cheng.

Sure enough, the rumors are not groundless.

This is a veteran super first-line celebrity, and his fans and heritage are not comparable to Han Xiao, and the number of fans is almost 50 million, he is already a quasi-supergiant, not much worse than Wen Yixiao.

Therefore, after Li Chi talked about it, he gave a price of 4.5 million, a little lower than Wen Yixiao, after all, Wen Yixiao's more than 60 million fans are there......

After answering a few phone calls, Li Chi immediately reported the situation to the director.

The director said magnificently: "Don't worry, these notice fees will be reimbursed to you by the station, Lao Li, so many big names join together, you can do a good job!" ”

Li Chi still didn't give up and said, "Director, can you move the time a little?" ”

Director: "Hey? Lao Li, what did you say? It's louder, I can't hear it, there's no signal? Okay, then I'll hang up first, can Lao Li hear it? Goodbye......"

Tuk Tuk ......

Li Chi is also speechless and accustomed to this unreliable director, and he has no hope for adjusting the broadcast time, and begins to think in his heart about how to make good use of these big-name stars tomorrow to produce a wonderful program!

It seems that a rating of 2.0 is not impossible!

And Zhang Huizhong learned the news, and called the director speechlessly: "Director, next time I show my show, I will invite all these people over!" ”

He really didn't expect that it was just to win over the relationship with Wang Cheng, so he asked the country life in the midnight stall to send an invitation to Wang Cheng, and it turned out that Rubik's Cube Entertainment really agreed.

What he didn't expect was that it wasn't just Rubik's Cube Entertainment that agreed.

Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru quickly took the initiative to call and ask to join......

It's pie in the sky......

No, pie drops are not enough to describe, it's like gold bricks falling from the sky.

The director said to Zhang Huizhong: "Director Zhang, I didn't expect them to take the initiative to come. I am not afraid of being affected by the contradiction between Wang Cheng and Rubik's Cube Entertainment, nor is I afraid of the negative impact of Hongxing advertising! The next time you want a lineup like this, you'll have to work your own......"

Zhang Huizhong just made a joke and complained, and said with a smile: "Lao Li doesn't know if he can bear it this time, so many big names joined, if his ratings still don't improve, then maybe this is the last issue, right?" ”

The director said seriously: "It should be, Lao Li's ability is still ordinary, if he gives so many big names, the ratings can't meet the standard, then he can only change his position and shine......"

Zhang Huizhong hung up the phone, and he was a little envious of Li Chi in his heart.

He doesn't care about the negative impact of Wang Cheng's cooperation with Hongxing, whether Hongxing goes bankrupt or not, he doesn't care, he only cares about Wang Cheng's talent and strength, and he is one of the few people in the circle who only looks at the essence of the facts.

No matter how much negative public opinion Wang Cheng has, no matter whether Hongxing is bankrupt because of Wang Cheng......

will not affect Wang Cheng's own stage strength.

He knows that this is also the reason why Rubik's Cube Entertainment dares to come so nonsense and overdraft Wang Cheng's popularity and business potential!

Because......

Wang Cheng's strength is there, even if this wave of operations has caused Wang Cheng's popularity and commercial value to plummet.

However, as long as the Rubik's Cube Entertainment operates well in the future, give full play to the absolute advantage of Wang Cheng's stage strength!

That popularity will be restored quickly.

After all, Wang Cheng's stage strength, in Zhang Huizhong's view, is really the only one in China, and it is not lost to those top world-class superstars in Europe and the United States in the world, which is also the reason why many fans have not given up on Wang Cheng after being publicly dissed by Wang Cheng!

These fans who can't get rid of them are Wang Cheng's most solid foundation.

"Hey, it's a pity, I still missed the peak! Rubik's Cube entertainment is not shallow. ”

Zhang Huizhong shook his head, and then posted a message on Weibo: "Welcome Wang Cheng to come to Xiangnan to record the show, I have a treat when I come!" ”

In order to have a good relationship with Wang Cheng and facilitate future cooperation, Zhang Huizhong really spared no cost and kept going down in person.

But.

Wang Cheng still didn't respond.

At this time, the news on the Internet that Wang Cheng is about to record a variety show again is already upside down.

Because.

This is different from the cabaret variety show that many fans are looking forward to!

Country Life......

What the heck?

What they want to see is Wang Cheng's live performance, Wang Cheng's powerful stage aura, Wang Cheng's ghostly mechanical dance, and Wang Cheng's beautiful original songs!

Who wants to see Wang Cheng go to the countryside to experience life?

Therefore, many Wang Cheng's fans, as well as passers-by, as well as the hyped media, have made a mess.
