Chapter 247: Premiere
On the night of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, ten minutes before the premiere of "Frightening Heart", the data monitoring room of Yunan TV Station was already overcrowded.
Liu Qingshan, director of Yunan TV, Zhang Heng, deputy director, Meng Linghui, director of the monitoring room, Chen Qingqing, director of "Scary Step by Step", and starring Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing all sat here.
Everyone had a serious face, and looked at the computers in front of them from time to time. There was no sound in the room, except for the sound of the staff knocking on the monitor panel.
At 20 o'clock, the theme song of "Scary Heart" began to play.
The staff in the monitoring room stared wide, for fear of something wrong. You must know that the people sitting behind are all TV bosses who have the power to live and kill.
At this moment, Xiao Yunhai suddenly asked, "What is the current ratings?"
"1.2%." The supervisor said loudly.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What's the average ratings during this time period?"
The monitoring personnel did not speak and looked at Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan frowned and said, "Tell the truth."
"The last TV series is 0.6%."
Zhang Heng said: "That means it has doubled."
"Yes."
Xiao Yunhai nodded, feeling good about this result. After all, it has attracted so many people before the main drama started, which is considered very good.
Two minutes later, a monitoring officer stood up suddenly excited, his eyes almost staring out.
"What's the matter with you?" Meng Linghui, director of the monitoring office, said angrily.
The monitor pointed to the screen and said: "Leaders, the data is rising too fast. The plot has only officially started for three minutes, and our ratings have passed 3%. And the data is still rising rapidly. , Can't stop at all."
"What? That's three percent."
Liu Qingshan, Zhang Heng and others stood up at the same time, their faces flushed.
For them, who have always been at the bottom of the ratings, a score of 3% is already very good. Last year, when it started broadcasting, there was no one that got this result.
But for Chen Qingqing, Xiao Yunhai and others, the 3% ratings are simply not in their eyes.
Chen Qingqing's "Kangxi the Great" had an audience rating of 6% at the beginning, and then it skyrocketed, and the highest audience rating almost exceeded 20%.
And Xiao Yunhai's heart is too big, with the super high quality of "Scary Step by Step", his bottom line is to become a legendary TV series. Failure to achieve this goal is failure. A mere 3% can't attract him any interest at all.
Zhao Wanqing looked forward to Xiao Yunhai's horse, and Xiao Yunhai didn't move, so she naturally sat there drinking tea steadily.
When Liu Qingshan was happy, he saw that Chen Qingqing and the three were indifferent after hearing the 3% ratings. They did not even lift their eyelids, but they stood up excitedly, almost clapping their hands in celebration. .
The contrast between the two parties made Liu Qingshan, the director of the station, slightly hot on his face, and felt a little embarrassed.
He coughed twice to remind Zhang Heng and others who were ecstatic, and then sat down quietly.
Zhang Heng couldn't see the form anywhere, so they quickly reduced their expressions and sat back where they were.
Liu Qingshan said to the monitoring personnel: "You report data every two minutes."
"Yes, Director."
At this time, the few people were completely relieved and waited quietly while drinking tea.
Having nothing to do, Xiao Yunhai directly took out his mobile phone and played the game.
When Zhao Wanqing saw that Xiao Yunhai was still playing games at this juncture, he was a little speechless, and made an apologetic expression at the people who cast their sights.
"3.7%"
"4.1%"
"4.3%"
"4.5%"
"4.7%"
In just ten minutes, the data had risen to 4.7%. Liu Qingshan and others looked at each other, and the excitement was beyond words.
"Are there going to be a classic TV series on Yunan TV Station?"
At the same time, a thought like this emerged in everyone's hearts.
But when they saw the nonchalant expressions of the three people in the crew, they were not too good to behave too much. They could only suppress their inner excitement and try to pretend to be indifferent.
"Damn!"
At this moment, the monitoring personnel suddenly screamed, stood up again, pointed at the screen with a trembling right hand, turned his head and shouted to everyone excitedly: "Every... Leaders, classic TV series have been born. Over a hundred. Five out of five."
His gaffe again attracted everyone’s attention. The director of the monitoring office wanted to teach him a lesson, but after hearing the news, the words that came out were immediately stuck in his throat, what? Did not say anything.
Liu Qingshan didn’t care about his status anymore. He made two steps in three steps and walked to the monitor. When he saw the figure of 5.25%, his wrinkled face finally showed a bright smile. The eye frame also turned red.
As the director of Yunan TV Station, Liu Qingshan has had a hard time in recent years. The long-term downturn in ratings made him unable to lift his head even when he went to the Film and Television Bureau for a meeting.
Now it's fine, my own TV station has released a classic TV series, and the directors of other stations dare to laugh secretly.
Looking at Zhang Heng with a smile on his face, Liu Qingshan nodded secretly.
At the beginning, he was on the phone and insisted on buying this TV series. Although it cost a huge price, the results were very significant.
At this time, Chen Qingqing, Xiao Yunhai, and Zhao Wanqing also stood up from their seats.
When he came to the monitor, Xiao Yunhai nodded with satisfaction when he saw the ratings that were still slowly rising, and asked, "Director Liu and Deputy Director Zhang, based on the experience of the two, our ratings this evening Can the rate exceed 10%?"
Liu Taichang was stunned when he heard the words, and the excitement and excitement that had just risen disappeared instantly, and he secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that people's goal is a legendary TV series."
Looking at the ratings curve on the computer, Director Liu gave serious consideration and said, "I can only say that this is a possibility, but it is not very big."
"As long as there is hope," Xiao Yunhai nodded and said.
The time passed by one minute and one second, and soon came the drama of Zhang Xiao crossing to the end of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The audience ratings fluctuated tremendously in this episode, from 5.67 points to 7.69 points directly.
Until the first episode of "Startling Every Step" was finished, the highest ratings reached 8.84%. Although the results were good, Xiao Yunhai was still a little disappointed.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai's appearance, Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, the first episode of the TV series can reach 8.84% of the ratings, which is already very remarkable. From this perspective, "Scary Step by Step" has become a legendary TV series. It's definitely a certainty. Let's not worry too much."
Chen Qingqing nodded and said with a smile: "Deputy Director Zhang is right. Hehe, I, Chen Qingqing, how Xing, I was able to direct two legendary TV series in two years. I don't know how many directors would envy me. Speaking of which, I I also want to thank you and Wanqing for finding me."
Zhao Wanqing hurriedly said: "Don't say that, Director Chen, we should thank you. Without your super high level of directing, we would not have achieved such a result in "Scary Step by Step"."
Chen Qingqing laughed and was about to talk when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. When I opened it, it was Huang Peiqi's call.
As soon as Chen Qingqing connected, Huang Peiqi's impatient voice came over.
"Lao Chen, the first episode of "Scary Step by Step" is over, what's the ratings?"
Chen Qingqing sighed deliberately and said: "The ratings are a bit bad, and it's still 1.16% short of the legend."
Chen Qingqing’s voice was very deep, Huang Peiqi seemed to only vaguely heard the last 1.16%.
There was silence on the phone for a while, before Huang Peiqi said, "Old Chen, don't worry, maybe we can counterattack later."
Chen Qingqing suffocated a smile and said, "I hope so. Old Huang, don't be discouraged, we are just 1.16% short."
Huang Peiqi heard clearly this time, and said: "What do you mean by this? Didn't you just say that our audience rating is 1.16%?"
Chen Qingqing pretended to be puzzled and said, "No, when did I say that. What I just said was that the distance to the legendary TV series is still 1.16%? Are you too old and your ears are not working well?"
Speaking of this, Chen Qingqing couldn't help it anymore and laughed.
Huang Peiqi didn’t know where he was being **** by this old man. He was angry and cursed: “You are an old and disrespectful fellow. I’m almost scared to death by you. I was still wondering just now. How could a show like "Fighting Heart" have so little ratings? It turns out that you, an old guy, is making a ghost."
After scolding Chen Qingqing, Huang Peiqi couldn't help but confirm again: "What you said is true?"
Chen Qingqing smiled and said: "Yes, our highest ratings for the first episode was 8.84%. As for when it can break through 10%, it depends on God's will."
"Hahaha." Huang Peiqi's hearty laughter sounded on the phone: "I remember that the ratings of the first episode of "Kangxi the Great" seemed to be about the same. We seemed to be successful again this time."
"Yes, we succeeded. Everyone's efforts were not in vain. Okay, I won't tell you. The second episode is about to begin. Let's wait until the broadcast is over."
After Chen Qingqing said ~lightnovelpub.net~, she hung up.
Soon, the opening song of the second episode began to play.
"Huh, why is the audience rating only 5.8%?" Xiao Yunhai frowned when he saw the data on the computer.
Zhang Heng said indifferently: "This is normal. The six-minute commercial has just been broadcast. Everyone has gone to watch other programs. They will be back later."
Sure enough, less than five minutes after the start of the second episode, the ratings soared all the way, directly exceeding 9%, which only slowed down slightly.
Seeing this momentum, Meng Linghui, the director of the monitoring office, pursed his lips and said, "Director Liu and Deputy Director Zhang, do you think this second episode will exceed ten points?"
Meng Linghui's words shocked both Liu Qingshan and Zhang Hengqi. In fact, they both thought about this issue just now, but the bottom of the ratings for many years made them feel that the legendary TV series is a bit unattainable, and some dare not expect it.
And now, when they heard Meng Linghui's words, a strong * burst out from deep in their hearts.
