Chapter 28: Some Rejoice

When Qin Wu started to arrange, Liu Peng was still working overtime on Modu TV, and tonight when "Love Has a Thousand Tribulations" premiered, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and kept communicating with the staff in the TV drama broadcast room, looking forward to and apprehensive about the response after the premiere.

Li Jun, as the deputy director of the TV drama production center, was also under a lot of pressure, and he couldn't sit still in the office, so he also came to the TV drama broadcast room, "Lao Liu, everything is normal, right?" ”

"The background data monitoring shows that everything is normal, director, you can rest assured!"

"It's normal, but I don't know what the ratings are." Li Jun relaxed his tense nerves slightly, "The leaders of the station attach great importance to this drama...... I hope we can give a satisfactory answer. ”

"Although the specific ratings will not be released until tomorrow, the results should not be ugly, because there are thousands of comments and comments on the official website under this drama, which is incomparable to other TV dramas in the past, which shows that the attention this drama has received is still not low." This phenomenon made Liu Peng feel excited.

"Oh, is it? I'll take a look at ......," Li Jun walked over under the guidance of Liu Peng and flipped through the messages on the official website.

……

As the saying goes, "people are in good spirits when they are happy", which is very suitable to describe Director Liu Peng's current state.

He just came out of the Golden Theater column group, in order to make a special trip to understand the ratings of "Love Has a Thousand Tribulations" yesterday, which was the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, he was originally sitting in the office and waiting, and there would be an email that would notify him of the ratings results later, but didn't he wait? If it weren't for the fear of being told that he was overstepping his own gossip, Liu Peng would have wanted to stay directly on the side of the technical department.

With a rating of 1.21, it's not in vain to run by yourself! Recalling the appearance of the cheap words of thanks and praise just now coming out of the mouth of Feng Kun, the leader of the Golden Theater column group, Liu Peng even felt a sense of raising his eyebrows.

The peak ratings of the last drama of the Golden Theater are only 1.19, and they can't even compare to yesterday's 1.21, which can be regarded as hitting the street, and the plan to change the name of the TV station to welcome a beautiful start has also been aborted, and the leaders of the station are very critical of this. As the leader of the Golden Theater column group, Feng Kun naturally couldn't hold it on his face at that time.

In order to make a comeback, Feng Kun applied for sky-high funds with the station, and planned to bid for the premiere rights of several promising big productions, but the status of the Golden Theater in the station was very embarrassing, although it was not said to be raised by the stepmother, but it was by no means the meat of the heart, and the station rejected the application on the grounds of "insufficient funds" and "too much risk".

After communicating with Rubik's Cube Media and the TV Drama Production Center several times, the leaders of the station thought that Liu Peng's new work "Love Has a Thousand Tribulations" had a good script, sufficient funds, good directorial level, and great potential.

Feng Kun, who learned about this, was naturally very depressed, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, and Feng Kun had no choice but to accept it. However, he complained privately several times that "if the station can listen to my suggestions, I will dare to make a military order", the meaning of the words is nothing more than wanting to take himself out first, if the ratings of this drama are not good, it is by no means the responsibility of him, the leader of the golden column group.

At the same time, it is also tantamount to publicly expressing distrust and questioning of "A Thousand Catastrophes".

Where can this Liu Peng stand it?

But no matter how confident he is, he can't fight with Feng Kun in the ring, after all, the ratings rely on actual data, and going into battle shirtless with empty teeth is just a joke. While swallowing his grievances in his stomach, he was also secretly determined to shoot "A Thousand Catastrophes" well, so he would strive for excellence in quality, which is also the reason why Liu Peng insisted on replacing all the music parts even when he knew that there was not enough time.

The Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and people fight for a breath, nothing more!

Liu Peng's strict requirements finally paid off, and the ratings from 0.92 premiered on Chinese New Year's Eve to 1.07 on the twenty-fourth of the lunar month, and then to 1.21 yesterday, the change in the ratings curve is not slowly climbing, but a leap growth one step a day, which shows that this drama has unlimited potential and a promising future.

And that's where it goes! Only 6 episodes have been broadcast in the past three days, and the whole show has 52 episodes, and the days to come are still long!

Of course, Liu Peng knows that the growth rate will slow down, and even the possibility of fluctuations in the ratings curve may even occur for various reasons, however, the current increase has aroused Liu Peng's infinite expectations, according to the current trend, even if the ratings growth slows down, the result will not be bad: It seems that the goal of breaking 2 mentioned at the press conference is not impossible to look forward to?

Liu Peng decided that as long as he was in the unit in the future, he would come over in person every day to get the ratings data sheet.

Although he also knew that when Feng Kun said nice words and laughed, he might be scolding himself in his heart, but seeing Feng Kun's transformation of "being conceited and respectful", it was so sour that he couldn't stop. If you can do the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth, what about the colleagues in a unit? Do you know each other well? Is the relationship good?

The good mood of the day starts with the Golden Theater column group!

Thinking about it all the way, Liu Peng had arrived outside the office of Li Jun, deputy director of the TV drama production center, and calmed down the agitated mood, Liu Peng knocked on the door with a "knock knock".

"Come in!" Li Jun's voice rang out.

Liu Peng pushed the door in and greeted him with a smile: "Good leader, are you busy now?" ”

Li Jun responded with a smile: "Oh, it's Lao Liu!" I was thinking about looking for you! ”

"Oh? Is it? Leader, what are you looking for from me? ”

"I can't say a word or two, it's a good thing anyway!" Li Jun pointed to the sofa next to him, "Sit casually, is there something wrong with you coming over?" ”

Liu Peng didn't sit down, Yang Yang raised the ratings data statistics table in his hand, walked to Li Jun's desk and handed it over: "Yesterday's ratings came out, 1.21, haha, it's only the third day, and it has already broken through 1.2!" ”

Li Jun is also very concerned about the results of this show, and naturally knows the ratings data of the first two days, and he also laughed when he heard it: "Haha, is it!" This increase is a big step every day, according to this trend of development, it is really amazing, and I can finally give a satisfactory answer to the leaders above. Maybe our center has also created a popular TV drama, Lao Liu, you have contributed a lot! ”

"You can't say that, the achievements belong to everyone, and they are inseparable from the overall control of the leadership!"

"Sit, Lao Liu...... Come, sit down, sit down! Li Jun led Liu Peng to sit on the sofa, then turned around and poured a glass of water for Liu Peng, and Liu Peng took it with both hands and put it on the coffee table.

Li Jun also sat down on the sofa next to Liu Peng, "That's a good thing, it's the so-called 'everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high'!" Personally, although I have done some work, but I have also beaten the side drum to serve you, which is like fighting in ancient times, if it were not for you soldiers to serve to the death, it would only be difficult for me, the commander, to win. Lao Liu, your hard work is obvious to everyone, so you don't need to be modest, but on the other hand, I hope you can do your best, if I'm not mistaken, the editing and soundtrack of this show is not over yet, right? If there's anything I need to coordinate, just say! ”

Li Jun's words made Liu Peng scold in his heart: From the preparation to the filming to the post-production of this drama, Li Jun was the shopkeeper throughout the whole process in the name of a producer. In this way, although it is the delegation of power that makes his work unconstrained, all the pressure and responsibility have also become his own shoulders, and now that the peaches are ripe, he Li Jun has taken most of them with a knife. After the whole thing, the reputation of "knowing people and being good at work" and "not taking power" and the final results are not lacking, and the face and the inside are all gone.

Liu Peng's heart is like a mirror, but no matter how much he complains, he can't show it, and he has to pretend to be a "good person", no way, who makes the family a leader?

Liu Peng replied sincerely: "Thanks to the support of the leaders, all the work is currently progressing in an orderly manner as planned, and please rest assured that the quality of the whole drama can maintain a high level, which I can guarantee." ”

"That's good! Lao Liu, I am still very relieved of your work ability. Li Jun nodded in approval, "You also know that this drama was recommended by Geng Tai to insist on internal recommendation, so Geng Tai is also very concerned about the results of this drama." Lao Liu, you are responsible for many things, so you can evaluate what the peak ratings of this show are, and I will make a report to Geng Tai. ”

Liu Peng was thinking on the surface, but in his heart he was "selling criticism": Li Jun wanted to show his merit in front of the leader, but he pulled himself on his back. It's only been broadcast for three days, and although the results are gratifying, if you really want to do an evaluation, the data for three days is too limited, right? What's the difference between this and guessing? If you don't say it accurately enough, the result will be that the work is not serious and meticulous enough; shouted high, there must be a suspicion of selling melons to the distant princess; To put it low, who will go if you need support in the future?

Liu Peng was in a dilemma, and finally had to take out the set at the publicity and distribution meeting: "I personally think that it is still possible to break the peak of ratings 2." ”

Li Jun Gujing did not wave, "Well, if you break 2, it will be a very good result!" ”

Liu Peng felt Alexander and gritted his teeth: "Leader, now this drama has shown great potential, in order to make the ratings data more secure, I hope the station can tilt more advertising resources, such as promoting this drama on other channels at different times, can you coordinate this?" ”

Li Jun crossed his hands, his two thumbs circled each other at high speed, thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm! Although your suggestion is good, have you thought about it, we are the production center, and if we coordinate this matter, what will the channel leader think? It is likely that our side will end up being a 'thankless task', so I will communicate with the channel leaders and the Golden Theater column team later to talk about the stakes, and it is most appropriate for them to come forward to make this application. ”

Liu Peng thought about it carefully: It's not! The degree of attention paid to the ratings data by the other channel is far from being comparable to that of the production center, and it is really easy for the production center to make this application.

The leader of this Tai Chi pusher has been played perfectly, and in the end, success or failure has been invincible, and it has become a benefit, and there is no loss.

"Leader, what you said makes sense, you have to worry about this advertising resource matter." Liu Peng was convinced of Li Jun's wrist, "I came here to report on the ratings, and the basic situation is just what I said...... Remember when you walked in the door, you said you were looking for me for something? ”

"Well, I have good news to inform you, which is also related to this drama!" Li Jun smiled mysteriously.

"Oh? What's the good news? ”

Li Jun revealed: "Last night, Modu Radio and Television called over and said that the leaders of radio and television recognized our drama very much, and planned to recommend our drama to the General Administration. ”

"That's a great thing!" Liu Peng was very excited, "I made a recommendation to the General Administration, so I can look forward to the awards related to TV dramas next year, and after the premiere, the second or even third round of rebroadcast rights can be sold at a better price!" ”

"That's why I'm just going to talk to you about the follow-up editing. You also know that although we got the record number, the finished film we submitted for review is a previous version, and because of this, the quality of the re-edited version after changing the soundtrack cannot be lost. Li Jun emphasized again.

Liu Peng nodded cautiously, "Rest assured, I will control the follow-up work more strictly." ”

"In addition, the radio and television side specially asked questions about the music part of the TV drama, because these are all handled by you, so, when you go back in a while, sort out all the relevant materials to me, including the details of the author and singing, such as Hu Xiaodong and Xiao What?"

"Oh, you're talking about Xiao Yuxuan, right?"

"Yes, even that Xiao Yuxuan's information has been sorted out."

Liu Peng had some questions: "Do you still need to provide information about these people?" ”

Li Jun responded indifferently: "Anyway, this is a good thing, since people want it, there are other people's reasons, let's just do a good job of cooperating!" The information should be as detailed as possible, so as not to toss back and forth for a good thing! ”

"Okay, no problem!"

"Well, if you don't have anything else to do, you can go ahead and get busy! I'll also talk to Rubik's Cube Media later, after all, they are investors, and they must have contributed a lot in all aspects. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and sort out the materials first, and you can tell you if there is anything you can order." After speaking, Liu Peng turned around and left Li Jun's office.

Compared with Li Jun and Liu Peng, who were very happy, Huang Xin, the vice president of Rubik's Cube Media, was not in such a beautiful mood, and he was sitting in the office at this moment, like sitting on wax.

Later, there was a senior management meeting, and the topic of the meeting was to report and communicate on some remaining issues, and what made Huang Xin uncomfortable was that he had not yet made up his mind on some things.
