In the blink of an eye, February, after four months of broadcasting, CCTV's "Garrison's Expendables" has maintained super high ratings, and the audience's enthusiasm for the drama has not been affected by the schedule of one episode per week.

However, what makes the audience sad and puzzled is that this drama has always been well received, but CCTV still decided to temporarily suspend the broadcast in February, and it was the domestic TV series "Secret Calculation" that had been promoted before.

Fortunately, after intermittently giving various explicit hints to the audience, the audience was mentally prepared for the suspension of "Garrison's Expendables".

Of course, it is not that die-hard drama fans call or write letters to CCTV, but unfortunately all this is like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no response at all.

In this era of lack of entertainment resources, it is already very good to have TV to watch, even if they want to be picky, they don't have that condition, they can only pinch their noses and endure it.

However, most viewers still have high expectations for the TV series "Dark Calculation".

Among these audiences, many are fans of Jiang Yulou's novels, as well as fans of radio dramas, and they also want to see what the so-called first domestic TV series that has been filmed for more than half a year is.

If the filming is not good, not only the audience of the TV series will scold, but also radio drama fans and book fans will criticize CCTV and even the director.

Fortunately, judging from the publicity that has lasted for more than a month, the TV series version of "Secret Calculation" is still worth looking forward to.

For example, the production of this drama is excellent, and a retired eavesdropper from a certain department of the state has been specially invited as a consultant.

The cast is even stronger, the actor is Tang Guoqiang, and he also starred in the male protagonist of "Little Flower" in 79. The heroine is Gong Xue, who is as beautiful as a flower, and the first heroine acted in the movie "Sacrifice Red".

In the last week before the broadcast, CCTV began to mobilize resources and increased publicity in newspapers.

"The first spy war series in China will be broadcast on the day of the Spring Festival."

"Secret Calculation" created a precedent for domestic TV series."

"The forty-episode TV series "Secret Calculation" will be released to you on the night of the Lunar New Year, with one episode a week."

Stir-fry the concept, how do the audience know what spy war drama is, and when they saw the first domestic one, they naturally became interested.

As for why it is a weekly drama, in fact, the TV drama industry in China in this era is extremely difficult, in 1980, the total output of TV dramas in the country was 131 episodes, and in later generations, this number will expand to hundreds of times.

However, it is also closely related to the current domestic socio-political, economic, and cultural policies.

It was not until August 1979 that the Central Broadcasting Administration convened the first national television program conference, calling on all qualified television stations across the country to run TV dramas, and decided to immediately import foreign films and television films to provide reference for the creation of domestic TV dramas. Under the encouragement of the policy, in 1979, many provincial and municipal television stations across the country began to produce TV dramas, and the number of TV dramas broadcast by CCTV reached 19 that year.

In addition to the impact of the policy, there is also the expansion of TV users across the country.

From the late 70s to the 80s, domestic TV manufacturers sprung up, and brands such as Beijing, Venus, Feiyue, Panda, Kai Ge, and Changhong emerged.

It was also during this period that black-and-white television was popularized in China, and color television gradually entered the homes of ordinary people.

By 1980, the number of television sets in the country had reached 9 million, and it was this rapidly growing number that gave the country the determination to develop the television industry.

……

Wednesday Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the newspaper "Yanjing Daily", reporter Tong Lili worked hard to write, because she had a plan in her heart, so she wrote very quickly, and it didn't take long to write a manuscript.

In recent years, the media industry has been very rough, although there are many newspapers, but the number of reporters is small, and there is not much real cross-regional news.

Tong Lili didn't grab the good things today, so she simply cobbled together and wrote an article that supported and echoed Kang Keqing's article "The Verdict of Justice, Heartfelt Support" published in the magazine "Chinese Women" a few days ago.

"Editor-in-chief, take a look."

She showed it to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, who carefully checked it and signed it when she saw that there were no mistakes, meaning that it could be sent to the editorial department for typesetting.

Tong Lili finished her work, came back to pack up, and prepared to get off work.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, tomorrow is the New Year, and now she can go home in time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Before leaving, the editor-in-chief suddenly entered the reporters' offices, looked at everyone, and said, "Don't leave yet, the president has a temporary job for you." Tomorrow night, CCTV's "Secret Calculation" will premiere, you watch it carefully, and then think about it carefully and see what you can write. ”

"Didn't you send them a promotional draft a few days ago, why is this not over!"

"It's just that it's not an imported American drama, it's just a domestic drama, it's not that we haven't seen it, we can't even mention it."

"What is a domestic drama, I forgot the promotional draft? It was the first TV series in our country. ”

"Hey, more precisely, it's a spy war drama."

"Do you know what a spy war drama is?"

"I don't know, but I don't think it's going to work. CCTV is also confused, investing more than one million to shoot a TV series, and blowing it to the sky, if it is not good-looking, the audience does not buy it, and CCTV must not pay for death? It's better to continue broadcasting "Garrison's Expendables". Alas, I've only watched sixteen episodes......"

"I can't say that, that drama is forbidden from above."

"I think it's just those old stubborns who can't keep up with the times, anyway, I like TV series like "Garrison's Expendables", exciting!"

"Okay, I won't tell you!"

"Don't underestimate this film." The editor-in-chief interrupted the argument and said: "This is a project advocated by Dai Linfeng, and Director Dai has nothing to say about his ability or vision." Moreover, the TV series is also based on the best-selling novel, and if everyone supports it from millions of book fans, the TV series will not be able to overturn. ”

"That's okay, in fact, I'm also a fan of "Secret Calculation"."

"One episode a week, in fact, I can't see anything famous."

"Whether it's famous or not, we have to see it."

"Cheng, then we're off work!"

Walking out of the newspaper building, Tong Lili immediately became happy, put her bag on her bicycle, and rode back home.

She is twenty-eight this year, but she has been a reporter for six years, and she is an old girl in this era, but she has never been married, and now she lives with her parents, and her parents also have serious jobs, and her salary and benefits are not to be said.

All three of them have jobs and their incomes are not low, so their family can afford to buy a television.

The next day, the Spring Festival, after a peaceful day, the family had dinner in the evening, and stayed in front of the 14-inch TV as usual - this is also the daily life of the vast majority of city residents.

When "News Network" ends, it's "Weather Forecast".

According to the schedule, the TV series will be shown after that.

After Tong Lili saw the broadcast information, she immediately became energetic.

Under the puzzled gaze of her parents, she took out a pen and paper, and prepared to write a snack while watching the drama for a while.

"What is this for, watching TV and writing news?"

"No, the task assigned by the newspaper leader is to ask everyone to read "Secret Calculation" and then write something and send it to the newspaper."

"The TV series that took over Garrison's Expendables?" Father Tong brought a jar of tea at this time, put it on the coffee table and said casually.

"Yes, Dad, don't you love to read that novel?"

"Who's to say it's not, your dad even spent a lot of money on a radio drama tape."

When it comes to tapes, Tong's mother is angry.

For their family, a set of tapes is not cheap.

Father Tong was accustomed to Mother Tong's muttering, so he sat quietly next to him and didn't refute, saying that you were right.

At around 19:35, the first episode of "Secret Calculation" began.
