Chapter 220 The talent show is broadcast and the winner is immediately judged!
"How much?" Vice President Qiu Tong asked in disbelief.
"According to CCTV Sofres data, the ratings for the first episode of our Million Heroes were 3.6%."
Suddenly, Qiu Tong was completely struck by this great joy.
An unprecedented sense of happiness burst out.
Winner!
Success! Then, everyone in the audience burst into warm applause.
Then, many people came forward to shake hands with President Qiu Tong.
"Congratulations, Mr. Qiu!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Qiu. This is simply a miracle!"
“That’s amazing.”
"Mr. Qiu, you mentioned a figure during the advertising bidding, which was a minimum of 2.3%. Now it seems that your judgment is too conservative."
"This is such a grand opening. Director Zhang, what was the ratings for the first episode of If You Are the One?"
At this moment, Director Zhou and Zhang Yan felt like they were struck by lightning.
The smile on my face really couldn't be suppressed. I wanted to smile, but my instinct was to frown, causing the muscles on my face to twitch slightly.
When someone asked, Director Zhang Yan said, "2.2%."
He still remembers that noon, which was the happiest time in his entire life and the starting point of his brilliant achievements.
At that time, everyone estimated that the ratings for the first episode of If You Are the One would be around 1.6%, but it ended up reaching 2.2%, creating a huge miracle.
Unexpectedly, in just about half a year, this record was broken by "Millionaire".
"Hahaha, this situation is really interesting now. Leader Ergou is relying on If You Are the One to boss Jiangnan TV around. He's extremely overbearing. Let's see how he can still act so arrogantly now."
"Without him, our Jiangnan TV is still successful, or even more successful."
"Boss Qiu is amazing. He single-handedly broke the so-called myth of the Ergou Cult Leader."
President Qiu came to Director Zhou again and said slowly, "Director, I have fulfilled my mission."
Director Zhou smiled with all his strength, stretched out both hands and held the other person's hands: "Mr. Qiu, you have worked hard. This is a great success."
President Qiu came to Zhang Yan, stretched out his hand and shook it, saying, "Director Zhang, let's make progress together."
Zhang Yan: "Learn from Mr. Qiu, learn from Mr. Qiu."
……………………
Next, Vice President Qiu couldn't wait to call Liao Feng and Wu Lingxi.
"Mr. Liao, Mr. Wu!"
"The ratings are out, 3.6%."
"It's better than we thought. Mission accomplished, mission accomplished!"
"Although China's Got Talent hasn't aired yet, we've actually already won."
Liao Feng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Qiu."
Qiu Tong: "Congratulations, congratulations."
Liao Feng: "This is just the ratings for the first episode. According to the rules of previous programs, the ratings will continue to rise in the second and third episodes, all the way to the finals."
"By then, your Jiangnan TV will have truly created a ratings miracle."
Qiu Tong: "I have to thank Mr. Liao very much for this."
Liao Feng: "We are in the same boat, so there is no need to be polite."
Qiu Tong said excitedly: "According to this trend, I think our ratings for the finals will even exceed 5%."
Under normal circumstances, Vice President Qiu Tong would not say such an unconservative statement, but he is too excited now. This success came too suddenly.
Once the ratings reach 5%, it will truly be an unprecedented record.
Then his position in the group will be completely unshakable.
Liao Feng: "Next, all portal websites, including Renren.com, will publicize this great victory. President Qiu, you will accept this great honor."
"Also, when are you going to take action?"
Take action?
The true colors of Jiangnan Radio and Television and Lightning Entertainment have been revealed.
Conduct another negotiation and renegotiate the profit-sharing plan.
Now, Leader Ergou takes nearly 60% of the advertising revenue of If You Are the One.
According to the will of Jiangnan Radio and Television, this proportion will be reduced to about 40%.
Qiu Tong: "Director Zhou, Zhang Yan has not yet completely compromised. When these two people completely compromise and stand on the opposite side of Master Ergou, that will be the time for us to take action against Master Ergou."
Liao Feng: "Before, you wanted to reduce his share to about 40%, right?"
Qiu Tong: “That’s right.”
Liao Feng: "This number is still too high. Now that Millionaire Heroes is so successful, the share ratio can be reduced a bit."
Qiu Tong: "We think so too. We think 35% is a reasonable number."
Liao Feng asked, "What you guys mean is that when Director Zhou and Zhang Yan compromise, you will take action against Master Ergou?"
Qiu Tong: "After the third or fourth show, when the ratings are completely stable and rising, we will take action and take action directly against these two people. By then, they will have to compromise even if they don't want to."
Liao Feng: "I will fully cooperate with you."
Then, Liao Feng suddenly said: "The best direction is not to make Master Ergou compromise, but... to completely destroy his business."
"There must be power and money involved there. Leader Ergou himself didn't handle it, but Li Shuang, the president of Shuanglin Production, must have done it. Send her in."
“This is an illegal transaction.”
"It killed the show If You Are the One and completely cut off the biggest source of income for the Ergou Cult Leader."
Qiu Tong trembled: "That, that will also be a huge blow to our station's income."
Liao Feng said slowly: "It won't work. Just stop broadcasting for a month or two. Then you can change the name and continue to produce this program, bypassing the copyright of Ergou Jiaozhu, and don't give him a penny."
"After all, in the minds of most viewers, If You Are the One belongs to Jiangnan TV, not to Er Gou."
President Qiu Tong was silent for a while: "I understand."
Then, both parties hung up the phone.
President Qiu Tong knew that they just wanted to take back the initiative and get more money. After all, money can move people.
Liao Feng, on the other hand, wanted to completely destroy the entire Lightning Group.
………………
In the next dozen hours, good news about "Millionaire" was everywhere.
It is written in very prominent words on various portal websites and on the homepage of Renren.
The first episode of "Millionaire Heroes" achieved a viewership rating of over 3.6%, setting a new record for satellite TV variety shows.
President Qiu Tong made special calls to express his gratitude to the CEOs of TVB, Emperor Entertainment Group, and Huayi Brothers.
The reason why this program has such a luxurious lineup and such a big momentum is largely due to the strong support from the Hong Kong and Beijing circles.
In the first episode of the show last night, Ms. Flora Chan’s performance was so brilliant, and Ms. Fan Bing’er performed a small miracle at a critical moment, which also became the climax moment.
Although all this is a script.
But it also fits their personalities, and the performances of the two stars are impeccable.
Huayi CEO Wang: "Congratulations, CEO Qiu. You guys have made your first success this year. This is a really good sign."
"Ergou's first show on China's Got Talent is destined to lose."
"I heard that his second hit, the TV series "Live" is about to be finished?"
President Qiu Tong: "It seems that we have finished filming most of it, but the low-budget love movie "Love Is Not Blind" is about to be finished."
Mr. Wang: "His second and third campaigns were small-scale productions, so there's nothing to worry about. Only China's Got Talent was very hyped, and they even claimed that they would sell it to the UK, but now it's gone. You guys did a great job in your first campaign."
"We won the first battle, and destroyed the momentum of the Ergou Sect Leader. If his second and third works fail, then this person will be almost finished, and his legend will be completely ended."
President Qiu Tong: "We should continue to work hard and pursue the enemy with all our remaining courage instead of seeking fame by imitating the tyrants of tyrants."
………………
"Love Is Not Blind" is indeed about to be completed.
I don’t know how many times we shot the last scene.
Finally, Qu Feifei suggested bringing her parents over.
Qu Feifei's parents are probably her biggest scar.
When she was a child, her parents had a good relationship. Her father was a businessman, her family was relatively wealthy, and she lived a happy life.
Her mother is from a local theatre troupe. She is very pretty, open-minded and likes to enjoy life.
Ou Feifei's father coveted her beauty, and at that time many local theater troupes were in trouble and were disbanding. Ou Feifei's mother then became pregnant and successfully married a wealthy husband.
But the good times did not last long. Qu Feifei's father was a local tycoon and had always been a big spender.
Unfortunately, her mother was also a promiscuous person. A few years after giving birth to her, both of them cheated on their husbands, had a huge fight, and ended up getting divorced.
However, at that time, both husband and wife loved Qu Feifei very much and tried hard to fight for her custody, but eventually her mother got it.
But her mother was not good at housework and could not take good care of her. She was also promiscuous by nature and had no skills to make a living, so she could only flirt with different men.
So during that period, Qu Feifei would find out every once in a while that there was a new man in the house and her mother had a new boyfriend.
Every time, she had a violent conflict with her mother's boyfriend.
Her mother gradually grew old and ugly. Every time she got drunk, she would scold Qu Feifei, saying that she was a burden and that if she hadn't been a burden, she would have married a rich man long ago.
Originally, her father loved her very much and would take her to live with him from time to time and give her money.
But her father remarried soon after, marrying a virtuous but narrow-minded woman, and had another son and a daughter.
As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.
Qu Feifei's father's love was becoming weaker and weaker. When she went to her father's house for the last time, she felt as if there was no place for her in this home.
Her mother would spend her days drunk with her friends, and when she got drunk she would beat and scold her, but when she sobered up she would hug her and cry and say sorry. But two days later she would get drunk again and beat and scold her again.
So, when she was sixteen or seventeen years old, Qu Feifei ran away from home before finishing high school and started hanging out outside.
She kept saying that if it weren't for Lin Xiao, she would have rotted to death on the street.
Therefore, her parents are her lifelong pain.
She almost never contacts her parents, but this time she called and asked them to come over.
Then……
I finished the last and most difficult scene almost in one take.
The tension and fullness of emotions almost permeate the entire film.
On this day, the filming of "Love Is Not Blind" was officially completed! ……………………
After the filming was completed, Chen Sicheng found Lin Xiao.
"Master, I heard that there is a conflict in the crew of "The Hidden"?" Chen Sicheng said, "The assistant director and producer we sent have a conflict with the director?"
Lin Xiao: “Yes.”
"Director Jiang Wei felt that our production requirements were too high and that it wasted a lot of time."
In Lin Xiao's opinion, the rhythm of "Lost" and the performances of several main actors are very good, very, very good.
Especially the performances of Stationmaster Wu, Xie Ruolin, Lu Qiaoshan and others were simply amazing.
But some of the scenes are really too rough.
It's not just the extras, but also those actors who have a few lines, such as Mi Zhiguo, who are too distracting.
There are also framing, props, etc.
To give a small example, the torture used by the Secret Service is simply child's play.
If the clothes are slightly torn and stained with blood, is it considered torture?
A few whips is considered torture? The producer sent by Lightning Entertainment adhered to the high standards of the Ergou leader, but the director felt that this was a TV series, not a movie, and it didn't need to be so harsh, and his energy didn't allow him to be so extreme.
Lin Xiao: "Do you want to join the crew of "Insidious"? "
Chen Sicheng: "Yes, Love Is Not Blind is a masterpiece, but the scenes are too small. I want to master the scenes with larger scenes."
Lin Xiao: "Okay, then you can go to the crew of "Live" as an assistant director, and you and Director Jiang will complete the division of labor. He will be responsible for the filming and performances of several main actors, while you will be responsible for the performances of unimportant actors, the set, etc. In short, you are responsible for the details."
"Even if it's an extra, you can train them well."
"Don't be afraid of going over budget, we only have one request."
“Excellent work, masterpiece!”
……………………
Lin Xiao was busy the whole day, as if he didn't care about the ratings of "Millionaire".
But at four o'clock in the afternoon, Director Zhou and Director Zhang Yan could no longer bear the pressure and came to Shanghai secretly.
"Master, did you expect this viewership rate?" Zhang Yan said in a trembling voice.
Lin Xiao: “Higher than I thought.”
The 3.6% viewership figure is indeed ridiculously high.
The other party's almost indiscriminate publicity, coupled with a large number of celebrity gimmicks, did achieve huge success.
Zhang Yan: "We are under a lot of pressure. I am afraid that the higher-ups will take action against us."
Lin Xiao: "There is nothing wrong between us. There is nothing we can find out."
Zhang Yan: "If we pick stones from eggs, who can stand the test?"
Lin Xiao certainly knew that the other party did not really want to thoroughly investigate Zhang Yan and the other person, but wanted them to switch sides and then form a joint force to put pressure on Lightning Entertainment.
Even with the style of the faction behind Liao Feng, they would be extremely ruthless.
What they want is not a simple win or loss, but to cut off the financial resources of the Lightning Group, completely block Facebook, and block the entire Lightning Group.
When Wu Lingxi was in power, she was more engaged in business struggles, and fully displayed her business talents to defeat Leader Ergou.
When Liao Feng was in power, in addition to business competition, he preferred to use tricks outside the game.
Especially like to use power.
Lin Xiao said: "You actually have a lot of leverage in your hands, right?"
Zhang Yan was silent for a while: "Master, some of the evidence is only useful when they are in decline. If I use it when they are at their peak, we will die faster. No one can bear the charge of destroying unity."
Director Zhou: "Mr. Lin, I still believe in your judgment. Please tell me, can China's Got Talent eventually beat Millionaire Heroes in terms of ratings?"
Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "Yes!"
The first season of "China's Got Talent" was broadcast in 2010. The national ratings for the first episode were 1.37%, the second episode was 2.1%, and then quickly reached 3%.
During the finals, it reached a peak of 5.7%.
But this is not the victory that Lin Xiao wants.
We can't wait until the finals to beat "Millionaire", right?
That victory would be too incomplete.
In Lin Xiao's opinion, because the entire program team put in more effort, the overall rhythm, excitement and appeal exceeded the first season of "China's Got Talent" in history.
For four whole months, Li Shuang worked almost heart and soul, and the entire program crew, with dozens or even hundreds of people, flew all over the country.
The arrangement of the program and the selection of various contestants.
The energy put in is more than double that of anything in history.
In addition, in 2004, more people watched TV than in 2010, and there was the brand of Ergou, the competition between "Millionaire" and "China's Got Talent", and so on.
Therefore, the attention received by "China's Got Talent" is far higher than in history.
Taking into account the above factors, Lin Xiao feels that the ratings for the first season of "China's Got Talent" will definitely be higher than in history, even much higher.
But how much higher, I really don’t know.
Because there is no way to infer.
Of course, there is another biggest external factor that may detonate domestic ratings.
That's ITV in the UK.
If Britain's Got Talent is successfully produced, broadcast, and becomes a hit as expected.
That is an extremely huge catalyst that will ignite the huge patriotic enthusiasm of domestic audiences.
At that time, the ratings will be pushed up to a scary number.
Lin Xiao took out his laptop, connected the Internet cable, opened the Renren community and the Facebook community.
"Look, how many people cursed in "Millionaire"?"
"It's OK if it's just our Facebook community, but even in the Renren community, there are many people cursing."
Zhang Yan took the computer and took a look. He saw that the discussion about "Millionaire" was indeed very high and very heated.
But... there were really a lot of insults.
"This is so fake. It's just twist, twist, and twist again, right?"
"First, let the self-taught students defeat the top students from 985 universities, then let the middle-aged couple defeat the self-taught students, the ugly middle-aged man with a junior high school education shows his prowess, and finally let the two female stars defeat the middle-aged couple, and let the uneducated vase Fan Bing'er turn the tide at the critical moment and win the key points. Every part is a script, and every climax is unexpected for us."
"Forcing suspense is the same as having no suspense, understand?"
"Your behavior of treating the audience as fools will definitely backfire."
After Zhang Yan finished reading, he said slowly: "Master, there are really only a few people who understand this. I said something incorrect. Most of the audience are fools. The better the script, the more exciting it is, the more they like to watch it."
Director Zhou asked, "Master, please tell me directly, what do you think the ratings for the first episode of China's Got Talent will be?"
Lin Xiao thought for a while: "2.3%."
Historically, the first period was 1.37%. Taking various factors into consideration, Lin Xiao set the target for the first period at 2.3%.
As the first variety show without the support of big stars, the first-episode ratings of 2.3% are already very, very good.
It’s even higher than the first episode of If You Are the One.
Zhang Yan: "Master, if we can achieve a 2.3% viewership rating for the first episode, you will definitely be able to give an explanation to Shanghai Satellite TV. This has even far exceeded their expectations."
"But we can't get through this."
"I can even say that the 3.6% ratings of Millionaire directly pushed us to the brink of death."
“Although the 2.3% ratings are strong, it is still far from the ratings of the first season of Million Heroes.”
Lin Xiao: "Do you want to continue to listen to my judgment?"
Director Zhou: “You say.”
Lin Xiao: "Because of the all-star cast, the gimmicks, and the overwhelming publicity, the ratings of the first episode of Millionaire Heroes were extremely high, exceeding many people's imagination."
Of course, it also frightened many people, such as the two people in front of him.
"According to normal rules, the ratings of this kind of program will be higher and higher."
“But I think that ‘Millionaire’ will only last about two issues at most before it starts to decline.”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"On the contrary, China's Got Talent will continue to rise and rise."
"By the fourth or fifth episode, the ratings of China's Got Talent will surpass Millionaire Heroes, and by the finals, the ratings will completely crush Millionaire Heroes."
"Millionaire's success is due to gimmicks, and her failure is also due to gimmicks."
In history, "China Star Jump" and "Water Cube Star Jump", two star diving programs of the same type, were broadcast almost at the same time.
The ratings for the first episode were very good, reaching around 1.9%.
Then, it kept going down, down, down...
The ratings should have reached their peak and doubled later in the show, but in fact they were cut in half.
It’s just that the ratings for the first episode of “Millionaire” were so high that it really scared people, and no one dared to make such a judgment.
Lin Xiao closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said directly: "The fourth phase."
"The ratings of the fourth episode of China's Got Talent surpassed Millionaire Heroes!"
"Please hold on until the fourth phase. Before that, no matter how much pressure you are under, please hold on."
"If China's Got Talent doesn't surpass Millionaire Heroes in the fourth season, I can understand everything you do."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Master."
……………………
Saturday, April 17, 21:00.
The first episode of "China's Got Talent" was officially broadcast on Shanghai TV.
The entire Shanghai Satellite TV pays unparalleled attention to it.
"Mr. Lin, what ratings do you expect for our first episode?" Director Wang Shiqing finally asked this question.
"2.3%." Lin Xiao.
"So high?" Wang Shiqing: "Do you know what the goal is that our station has set?"
Lin Xiao: “How much?”
"As long as it exceeds 1.6%, leaders from top to bottom will be satisfied and the target will be met."
"We are more optimistic and think it could reach 1.9%."
"After all, our program is the first of its kind. It doesn't have a celebrity cast or overwhelming publicity."
"I didn't expect you to be so optimistic. You expected 2.3%."
Lin Xiao was determined to win "Millionaire", but for Shanghai TV, winning or not was not important.
As long as the ratings meet the target, they will be satisfied.
Their expected first-season ratings are 1.9% and the final ratings are around 3.5%.
As long as this goal is achieved, it will be a success for Shanghai TV.
Wang Shiqing: "Brother, Millionaire is indeed strong, but you don't have to be discouraged. It doesn't even matter whether we win or not. As long as the talent show is successful, our cooperation can last a long time."
"So, Jiangnan TV, you still need to be mentally prepared and make plans early."
The meaning was very clear. Lin Xiao was prepared that although the talent show was very successful, it would still lose to "Millionaire Heroes". He was even prepared for Jiangnan Radio and Television to put extreme pressure on Ergou on "If You Are the One".
……………………
At this time, almost all of Ergou's fanatical fans tried to turn on all the televisions around them.
And force the channel to be set to Shanghai TV.
Of course they knew that the ratings of "Millionaire" had exploded. Absolutely exploded.
Leader Ergou has many fans, but for the general population who watch TV, this number is not that large.
However, they still try their best to contribute to the ratings of Ergou Jiaozhu.
However, Ergou really never issued such a call from beginning to end.
He felt that only real ratings, at least mostly real ratings, would be enough to provide strong support.
At this moment, countless TVs are broadcasting China's Got Talent.
Especially Vice President Qiu Tong, Director Zhou, Zhang Yan, and even Chen Yizhou, Liao Feng, Wu Lingxi and others, were all staring at the TV.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles! Less than twenty minutes had passed.
Wu Lingxi sat up straight.
"Do you think it's good?" Liao Feng asked.
Wu Lingxi: "It's very real, with strong support and tension."
Wait until the show is halfway through.
The beautiful and stunning piano piece "Starry Sky" sounded.
The performance is over!
The lights came on, and it was a disabled person without arms, who popped out with his two feet.
In an instant, countless people were horrified.
Countless people were amazed.
Even Wu Lingxi was no exception! She and Liao Feng looked at each other, totally confused.
Why didn't you put such a stunning scene at the end of the show? Instead, why did you put it in the middle of the show? What would you like to put at the end of the show? Half an hour later!
It appeared at the end of the show.
It was the young man with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities who played "Going Home" on the saxophone.
Liao Feng felt that it was bound to be sentimental, it was bound to be sentimental.
The result was… No! The three mentors, Bi Xiaoshi and Chen Peisi, passed and gave a YES.
On the contrary, Li Shuang hasn't had it for a long time.
Next, Li Shuang asked three questions.
Can you play other tunes?
Do you like playing the saxophone at home or in front of many people?
The young man with Down syndrome kept looking at his parents, while his parents loudly taught him to answer. The assistant host Huang Bo next to him also fell into deep silence.
Then, Li Shuang took the YES photo with some tolerance and helplessness.
The first episode is over.
The film does not end with a climax or the most amazing part, but ends with a sigh and a brief revelation of human nature.
From beginning to end, one thing is shown.
The power of truth.
This is in stark contrast to the manual control and complete scripting of "Millionaire".
"Are they crazy?" Liao Feng couldn't help but ask, "No sensationalism, but realistic?"
“Why not save the most amazing part for last?”
"Without creating a dramatic ups and downs curve?"
Wu Lingxi: "What do you think? Be fair?"
Liao Feng: "It's very beautiful, very beautiful, and it has exceeded my expectations many times. I don't even know where they found this extraordinary person from."
Wu Lingxi: "Also, be truthful and keep all your emotions to a certain point."
"Li Shuang is a genius. Her reactions to every contestant are so precise and powerful."
"She is so infectious. Her revelation of human nature is so wise and leaves us wanting more."
“This show is amazing!”
"But..." Liao Feng sneered, "They are too sincere and treat the audience as human beings."
"For the so-called sense of reality and power, they actually sacrificed rhythm, sensationalism, and gimmicks!"
"The man playing the piano with his feet brought such a shock to people that he could have been given more time and footage, and his performance could have been sublimated and influenced by words."
"And the young man with Down syndrome playing the saxophone at the end, what a great opportunity to be sentimental, what a great gimmick to increase ratings."
"They don't even use any of them. This is a variety show, not a high-end movie."
Wu Lingxi fell silent.
She actually has her own judgment in her heart that the quality of "China's Got Talent" exceeds that of "Millionaire Heroes".
I don’t even know how many times more effort the program crew put in than “Millionaire”.
It's really clear who is better! This style of Ergou Jiaozhu is really frustrating.
But most of the audience just watch it for fun. Is it really useful for you to work so hard?
……………………
Zhang Yan and Director Zhou have also finished watching it.
The two of them only felt deep emotion.
The Ergou Sect Leader is still the Ergou Sect Leader.
Striving for excellence is truly the ultimate.
It’s really amazing and beautiful.
But, it's too noble.
What a great opportunity to sensationalize? What a great gimmick to boost ratings? Why didn't they use it? Why did they just stop there?
And with so many stunning scenes, why not cut them into the trailer in advance?
This will attract more viewers to watch the show. Even though it will overdraw the show's appeal, the ratings will go up.
You are doing your best and working hard to serve the audience, but they may not know it or even appreciate it.
After reading it, Vice President Qiu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
"If I were to do it, the emotions would definitely be even higher."
"Those two sensational points were abandoned just to make it realistic, which is really stupid."
"Is he treating China's Got Talent as If You Are the One? These two shows are completely different."
"If You Are the One requires a certain level of humanity to be revealed and a certain level of authenticity. However, shows like China's Got Talent require extreme exaggeration, exaggeration, and sensationalism."
"We should always raise our dreams and ideals in life."
"What high-level game are you playing? It's really ridiculous that you are so restrained in publicity."
Then, President Qiu Tong called Liao Feng.
"Mr. Liao, have you watched the show? What do you think?"
Liao Feng: "Too noble, not exaggerating when it should be, not being sentimental when it should be."
Qiu Tong: "I have the same opinion. If I were to do it, the ratings would be at least 0.3 percentage points higher."
Liao Feng: "But we should be thankful that our opponents are so naive, have such high sentiments, and are so unpopular."
"Mr. Qiu, you are a professional. What do you think of the ratings of the first episode of China's Got Talent?"
Vice President Qiu Tong thought for a while and said, "1.8%, exactly half of ours!"
“In fact, this number is already very high.”
“But there is still a big gap between them and us.”
Liao Feng smiled and said, "It's because Mr. Qiu's team is so outstanding."
Qiu Tong smiled and said, "No, it's just that we are more proficient in human nature and we know better what the audience wants to see."
…………………………
The next day!
It was rare for Lin Xiao to take the initiative to go to Li Shuang's office.
Li Shuang's assistant was guarding the door, as if facing a great enemy, which made Lin Xiao feel helpless, and it seemed as if we were going to do something inside.
Li Shuang, who had been working hard for several months, felt relaxed at this moment.
Holding a glass of red wine in his hand, he sat quietly on the sofa and talked to Lin Xiao.
"Thank you for leaving the entire show to me, even letting me control the core rhythm and core emotions." Li Shuang said softly: "In fact, in the past few days, people have been giving me various feedback."
"I can definitely make the show more intense and exciting."
"Especially in the emotional part, it could be more passionate."
"I am now... a little regretful and a little worried."
"Did I make the show too bland? Did I make it too sexually cold?"
Her tone was calm, but her heart was filled with anxiety.
Even panic.
Because many professionals gave consistent evaluations after watching it.
The show was very, very good, but the tempo could be more intense and the emotions could be higher.
At least now, she is completely unable to concentrate on her work.
It's like waiting for the results of a big exam.
She cares about the ratings of "China's Got Talent" even more than "If You Are the One".
This is a battle.
A battle for life and death.
"Sister, do you want to take a nap?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask, "You haven't slept all night again."
This time it wasn't busy, it was just pure tension.
Lin Xiao and Xia Xi couldn't persuade her, nor could they just give her a pill of Sinuos.
Li Shuang looked at Lin Xiao with apology: "I'm sorry, I'm still so useless and can't handle the pressure."
Lin Xiao gently rubbed the back of her neck.
"Sis, believe me, we will be able to surpass Millionaire Heroes in the fourth issue at most. Don't worry, don't be anxious."
“From the beginning till now, I have hardly missed anything.”
Most of the senior management of Shanghai TV were in the conference room, quietly waiting for the data from CCTV Sofres.
Even Director Chen turned down an important meeting and waited for the results here.
Director Wang Shiqing brought Lin Xiao’s expectations, 2.3%.
The entire top management of Shanghai TV almost instinctively regarded this number as a target.
The first episode had a viewership of 2.3%, and the finals had a viewership of around 4%.
That is a huge success.
Shanghai TV will be able to give an explanation to its superiors, and its other cooperation with Master Ergou will be able to continue.
Director Wang Shiqing's heart was beating like thunder, and he silently said in his heart: "Master Ergou, please don't let me down."
“Even if it’s less than 2.3%, as long as it breaks 2%, that’s good enough, that’s success.”
A few minutes later!
The phone rang.
Wang Shiqing rushed over and answered the phone.
The other party's voice sounded: "Mr. Wang, the ratings are out, can you guess?"
Wang Shiqing trembled: "It's already this late, why are you still keeping us in suspense? What are you guessing about? Tell me now!"
The other party laughed and said, "No, you must guess a number."
Wang Shiqing: “2.3%?”
The other party said: "3%!"
This number is more than twice the ratings of the first episode in history, and Lin Xiao was completely unexpected.
"What?!" Wang Shiqing couldn't believe his ears: "How much? You are kidding me!"
The other party said: "We are also very surprised, and we can't believe it."
"You didn't spend any money, nor did you have an overwhelming publicity campaign, nor did you have a lavish celebrity lineup."
"But it only got 3% viewership in the first episode, which is really crazy."
“We have confirmed it time and time again, it’s 3%!”
"This is really a fight between gods!"
