Chapter 425 Climax Moment (asking for monthly ticket)
Kunlang Films, General Manager’s Office.
“Do you think the performance of “My TV Series Just Started Filming” has met expectations?”
Zhang Chao looked at Kunlang Film and Television's production manager Dong Yong and publicity director Gao Ming and said.
Last night, Zhang Chao also watched "Just Not a Mistress". For Zhang Chao, the competition between him and Yuexing Media Film and Television is greater because both parties want to monopolize the Japanese drama market.
But the situation on the island country side is somewhat complicated, and everyone is actually just waiting and watching.
"Just Not Being a Mistress" and "My TV Series Just Started Filming" are from two different companies. Zhang Chao only got the contract for "My TV Series Just Started Filming". At the same time, Yuexing Media only got the contract for "Just Not Being a Mistress".
In this way, everyone wants to prove to the island country that choosing me is your best choice.
But Zhang Chao will not underestimate "In the Name of People".
After all, that was Yu Xiaoshu.
Thinking about how the previous pig actually let Yu Xiaoshu go, Zhang Chao felt that he was simply stupid.
Even if I keep a useless person, it doesn't cost much anyway. The most important thing is that a thousand gold coins are enough to buy bones. How can I not understand this? ?
But Yu Xiaoshu was fired.
What nonsense are you talking about?
It would have been fine if he was just fired, but later on he engaged in a series of idiotic behaviors, which Zhang Chao could only think was too idiotic.
It is true that capital is profit-seeking, but capital cannot be stupid.
Later, Kunlang Film and Television wanted to establish a relationship with Yu Xiaoshu. Although they could not cooperate, they had to ease the relationship.
For Zhang Chao, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in the entertainment industry, only interests.
Interests are the key.
At this point, Zhang Chao believes that no company will underestimate Yu Xiaoshu's scripts. For three years, Yu Xiaoshu has maintained his undefeated scripts, which is a miracle in itself.
That’s exactly what happened. Zhang Chao watched In the Name of People last night.
He didn't sleep all night.
Unlike Sun Qi who did not watch "In the Name of People" and only listened to Xia Mei's talk about it, Zhang Chao actually watched the first three episodes of "In the Name of People".
It was precisely because of seeing it that Zhang Chao felt truly worried.
So, today, he asked everyone to start promoting "My TV Series Just Started Filming" early on.
He must grab enough attention.
In this Japanese drama, Zhang Chao may lose to "In the Name of People", but he will definitely not lose to "Just Not a Mistress".
"Mr. Zhang, this drama In the Name of People is an anti-corruption drama after all. There is no market for this kind of drama, so I think you are a little too worried."
After listening to what Zhang Chao said, Dong Yong said with some amusement: "After all, our show is broadcast on Xingcheng TV, while In the Name of People is only broadcast on Qidong TV. First of all, the status of the TV stations is different. Add to that the limitations of anti-corruption dramas, and I don't think this show will make any waves."
"Let me ask you, have you watched the TV series In the Name of People?"
Zhang Chao looked at Dong Yong and asked with a frown.
Dong Yong shook his head: "You always told me to keep an eye on Just Not Being a Mistress, so I didn't watch In the Name of People. Besides, I don't think it's necessary to watch it."
“You think anti-corruption dramas have limitations without even watching them?”
Zhang Chao said angrily, "How many people thought that Yu Xiaoshu's criminal investigation stories were limited? How many people also thought that his later work, 'Soldier Assault', which did not have a female lead, was limited? But look at what miracles 'Soldier Assault' achieved? The broadcast platform for 'Soldier Assault' is not as good as Qidong TV."
"Mr. Zhang, please don't be angry. I think a drama like "Soldiers Assault" is rare in many years, and even Yu Xiaoshu couldn't write it, so how can "Soldiers Assault" be compared with "In the Name of the People"? "
Dong Yong hurriedly said, "Although Sweeping Dark Storm has been successful, it is still far behind Soldiers Assault."
Not only Dong Yong, but also Publicity Director Gao Ming said: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, I don't think we need to be scared by Yu Xiaoshu. No matter what he does, can he really go to heaven? If In the Name of People really turns the world upside down, then I think he might as well just cheat. What else is there to compete???"
Looking at Dong Yong and Gao Ming, Zhang Chao felt too lazy to say anything.
In three years, the script has maintained an unbeaten record, and it has blossomed into online dramas, TV series, movies, and variety shows. Isn’t this cheating? ?
Looking at the entire Yuanxing, there are people like Yu Xiaoshu, but they can be counted on one hand.
More importantly, you must not forget that Yu Xiaoshu quickly became platinum, then fell to the bottom a few years later, and then rose from the bottom a few years later.
With this kind of drama, even if you write a novel, people will probably say it's too YY.
But it happened.
You say, how could Zhang Chao not be alert?
Fortunately, Zhang Chao feels that this time "My TV Series Just Started Filming" is not in competition with Yu Xiaoshu.
He thought so, so his mentality was pretty good. He just let Dong Yong and Gao Ming do what they should do.
Dong Yong and Gao Ming felt a little amused after leaving the office.
Especially Gao Ming: "Do you think our Mr. Zhang is being cautious or worrying too much?"
"Be cautious, but Mr. Zhang is a little too cautious. Besides, we don't regret giving up on Yu Xiaoshu. After all, we gave him a few years, and Wang Bao protected him a lot in the beginning. In the end, the company ran out of patience."
Dong Yong thought for a while and said, "I think the one who should regret the most should be Tiger Star Films. After all, they could have become one of the most competitive giants with Yu Xiaoshu, but in the end..."
Come to think of it, it makes sense.
Tiger Star Films was the first to accept Yu Xiaoshu, and then Yu Xiaoshu wrote the script of "I Am Yu Huanshui" at Tiger Star Films. What was the result? ?
Everyone knows what happened next.
"But what do you think our ratings will be???"
Gao Ming asked as he walked.
Dong Yong thought for a moment and said, "If we can't break 4, then we will fail."
Yes.
In Dong Yong's opinion, if the premiere ratings of "My TV Series Just Started Filming" cannot exceed 4, then it will be a failure. After all, Kunlang Film and Television has invested huge resources in "My TV Series Just Started Filming".
In addition, Star City TV has been continuously warming up for "My TV Series Just Started Filming".
Under such circumstances, if the ratings of "My TV Series Just Started Filming" do not exceed 4, do you think it is a failure? ?
Not only Dong Yong thought so, at the same time, Zhang Yiwei at Yuexing Media also said the same thing.
"Mr. Sun just said that we must increase the publicity for Just Not Being a Mistress because we have invested too much in this TV series. At the same time, if our ratings don't take first place and if the first broadcast doesn't break 4, then it will be a failure."
Zhang Yiwei looked at everyone and said, "I have said everything that needs to be said. Now let's talk about what to do."
The production manager said at this time: "We have already discussed with the island country. The entire cast of "Just Not a Mistress" will be here in a few days. We will then participate in the recording in Shanghai with them to expand publicity."
"That's fine, but don't wait two days. Tonight, Just Not Being a Mistress will reach its climax. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the plot will also be exciting. We must promote it early. After all, the number of episodes of this drama is not long."
Zhang Yiwei shook his head slightly and said, "Go and talk to them. Tell them that they must come the day after tomorrow. If they don't come, you'll have to pay them. Give them a price they can't refuse."
The pay for films, appearance fees or commercial performances in the island country are basically not high, so Zhang Yiwei has the confidence to spend money.
Half an hour later, the meeting ended and Zhang Yiwei came to Sun Qi's office.
He gave a brief report to Sun Qi.
Sun Qi waved his hand and said, "Boss Zhang, you can't handle these things on your own. You don't need to report to me, but you have to remember one thing. We must win the agency rights in the island country, so we must win. Not only must we win, but we must win beautifully."
Zhang Yiwei smiled confidently and said, "Teacher, don't worry. We have already invested a lot in publicity. In addition, we will also invite actors from the island country to come. Not to mention that tonight is the climax. We are sure we can do it."
At this time, Sun Qi glanced at the time and said, "The ratings will be out soon."
"Well, the TV station's feedback is that the ratings are acceptable, but after all, the data network needs to be updated uniformly. Let's take a look at the rankings on the data network."
Zhang Yiwei nodded slightly and said.
Five minutes later, it was just past 12 o'clock.
The data is out.
At this time, Zhang Yiwei had returned to his office.
He was actually quite grateful to Sun Qi, because without Sun Qi he wouldn't be where he is today, but Sun Qi was too strong, sometimes to the point of being too strong.
Simply put, it is a one-man show.
In fact, deep down, Zhang Yiwei does not want to increase his investment in Japanese dramas with such a high investment.
Obviously, Zhang Yiwei does not agree with this Japanese trend. He is only 40 years old this year, so he is in the prime of his life. Moreover, he wants to reverse some domestic situations. Simply put, Zhang Yiwei thinks there is no problem with domestic dramas.
Domestic dramas can also be successful.
However, it is impossible for Zhang Yiwei to make such a suggestion.
After so many years, Zhang Yiwei certainly understood this point. Precisely because he understood this, Zhang Yiwei fully implemented Sun Qi's opinions.
This is what a mature manager should do.
Now the data is out.
Zhang Yiwei opened the data network.
Then, he took one look and was stunned: "Oh my god."
Oh fuck.
Not only did Zhang Yiwei swear at this time, but Zhang Chao also sweared.
He admitted that he overestimated "In the Name of People", which was indeed based on Zhang Chao's reasonable judgment. He believed that "In the Name of People" might have good ratings.
But despite this caution, Zhang Chao also has a little expectation, that is, what if the ratings of "In the Name of People" are not as good as "My TV Series Just Started Filming"? ?
After all, to be honest, the filming of "My TV Series Just Started" is indeed very good.
That's exactly the case. Zhang Chao has such confidence.
But, with the current ratings, what else can he say? ?
The ratings ranking on the data network at this time is as follows.
First place: "In the Name of People", with ratings exceeding 6!
Second place: "My TV series has just started filming", with a viewership rating of over 5.
Third place: "Just Not a Mistress", with a viewership rating of over 4.
…
What else can Zhang Chao say about this audience rating?
Logically speaking, "My TV Series Just Started Filming" is already strong enough.
As Star City TV’s first broadcast ratings exceeded 5%, this drama “My TV Series Just Started Filming” is actually quite amazing.
But who could have thought of that?
Damn, this "In the Name of People" is even better.
Hold.
At this moment, Gao Ming pushed the door open and said, "Boss Zhang, this Yu Xiaoshu is really cheating."
Let’s go back to Yuexing Media.
Sun Qi didn't look at the ratings because he received a call from the Directors Association. Today, in addition to being the president of Yuexing Media, Sun Qi is also the honorary president of the Directors Association. It can be said that he just holds a position and occasionally offers advice.
"For my age, it's fine, but I think this is a good opportunity for young directors to take action. I think young directors should take the lead in this kind of mission drama."
Sun Qi thought for a while and said.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Qi shook his head slightly.
He doesn't think this kind of mission drama is easy to do. First of all, you need to not let down. Secondly, you can only write scripts within a circle, you cannot go out of the circle.
This is a composition with a given topic.
This kind of thing is difficult to write, even more difficult to direct, and it is also difficult to stand out.
Just think about the TV series "In the Name of People" and you will know, what's the use of having a good reputation? ?
Just after hanging up the phone, Zhang Yiwei came over in a hurry: "Teacher..."
"I've told you so many times, don't call me teacher in the company."
Sun Qi's face turned serious: "What? The ratings are out? Did it break 4?"
“It’s broken 4.”
Zhang Yiwei took a deep breath and said.
Sun Qi's expression eased a little, and he laughed: "So are we first or second?"
Zhang Yiwei's face looked a little ugly at this time: "We are third."
"What???"
Sun Qi's face changed at this time: "In the Name of People is actually ranked second???"
"No, In the Name of People is number one, Mr. Sun, please see."
Zhang Yiwei simply handed the tablet to Sun Qi.
When Sun Qi saw this, he was completely in disbelief.
How is this possible? ?
yes.
How is it possible??
Not only did "In the Name of People" rank first, but its ratings exceeded 6 during its first broadcast.
It seems that this drama is really going to refresh our cognition.
but.
Sun Qi said at this time: "Increase publicity. Our drama tonight is the climax, so we can just grab the ratings. Winning first doesn't count as winning."
Look.
Isn’t this a coincidence?
You climax?
I also had an orgasm.
…
…
(Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket. I could have written more today, but the radiator leaked, and my daughter dragged me out to learn square dancing in the evening. But even so, I have guaranteed 8,000 words today, which is worth a monthly ticket. Please vote.)
