Yunhai Station, Office of the Program Director.
"I'm sorry, Director Luo, I underestimated 'The Dreaming Life'."
Yin Jian, the chief director of "Hua'er Show", said to Luo Yu, the director of the Yunhai TV program department.
Although the second episode of "Flower Show" still ranked first in the ratings of the Thursday 4 o'clock slot, "Longing for Life" emerged as a dark horse, jumping from seventh place last week to third place, which made Yunhai TV feel a sense of crisis.
In addition, the ratings of the second episode of "Hua Er Show" not only did not increase, but dropped by 0.01, which is still far from Yunhai TV's goal of breaking 1 in ratings.
Yin Jian was called to Luo Yu's office early this morning.
He knew what the leader meant, so he admitted his mistake and then proposed a solution:
"Director Luo, I have a two-pronged approach that will both further boost the ratings of 'Flower Show' and suppress 'Longing for Life'."
Luo Yu's eyes urged: "Speak."
Yin Jian coughed lightly and said calmly:
"I studied 'The Dream of Life' and found that this program can help viewers release their inner stress through the peaceful rural life. There has never been a similar program before. It can be said that 'the beautiful rural life' is the core of this program.
But in reality, real rural life isn't that beautiful. If we puncture this beautiful illusion, the audience will find it boring."
Luo Yu nodded and said with interest: "Go on."
Encouraged by his leader, Yin Jian became more confident and continued to talk about his plan:
"We can release news such as the story about a show called "Longing for Life" that allegedly destroyed local villagers' farmland and polluted the local ecological environment in order to record the show.
Of course, this news was not released by us, but was reported by some 'enthusiastic' media."
"Not bad." Luo Yu smiled and asked, "What about the way to increase the ratings of our own program?"
"This is actually very simple." Yin Jian continued to offer suggestions:
"We originally planned to air Yang Jiaxin's episode in November, but now we can bring it forward to next week. With Yang Jiaxin's influence, coupled with our promotion, the ratings of "Flower Show" next week are likely to soar!"
Yang Jiaxin is one of the three major divas in the Chinese music scene. She has countless fans and is truly a household name.
It would have been impossible for a less popular program like "Hua Er Show" to invite a guest of her level.
It was only after Yunhaitai exchanged various resources that it finally invited Yang Jiaxin to perform for "Huaer Show".
That episode was originally scheduled to be aired in November. If it is suddenly aired ahead of schedule to next week, many plans will be disrupted, especially the publicity, which will cause some trouble.
Luo Yu did not express his opinion immediately and fell into deep thought.
After a few minutes, he finally made a decision: "Let's do as you say. I'll have the publicity and promotion department fully cooperate with you."
If the ratings can be improved, some of the troubles in publicity work can be completely overcome.
“Thank you, leader!”
Yin Jian was very excited and he immediately made a promise:
"Next week I will make sure the ratings for 'Flower Show' break 1!"
"Don't forget..." Luo Yu reminded, "There's also that show on Apple TV."
"Don't worry, boss. If we really break the 1 mark, we won't have any competition on Thursday."
Yin Jian promised solemnly.
"Okay, then I look forward to your performance next week."
......
Two days later, Sunday.
Orange House.
The program crew is currently recording the eighth episode.
In recent days, the popularity of "Longing for Life" has gradually increased as word of mouth has gradually fermented.
There is also more and more news about the program online, and many viewers expressed their great anticipation for the third episode to be broadcast on Thursday.
The station leaders were very satisfied. Not only Chen Zhao, but even Deputy Director Li Xueke made a special phone call to Luo Hui and Fang Xiaole to express the station's approval and support for the work of the program team.
This support is certainly not just verbal. Li Xueke promised that if "Longing for Life" can push the ratings up further next week, the station will consider providing material rewards.
This news made all the staff members of the program team very motivated, and the program became more and more smooth.
"Brother Zhang, do you know how much bonus the station will give us?"
During the break, a group of people gathered together to chat and gossip, and a young man asked Zhang Zhiqin.
Everyone knows that he is the nephew of Deputy Director Li, and he is honest and straightforward, without any airs, so everyone is willing to deal with him. Therefore, Zhang Zhiqin has a good relationship with the program crew.
"I called my uncle yesterday and he scolded me, saying I was thinking about the bonus when I hadn't achieved anything yet. He told me to finish the program first."
Zhang Zhiqin answered dejectedly, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Fang Xiaole and Luo Hui were sitting in the pavilion, discussing the details of the next recording.
The first season of "Longing for Life" has a total of eleven episodes. According to the current recording progress, the remaining three episodes will be completed next week.
"Xiao Fang, after we finish recording the first season next week, we can have a good rest."
Luo Hui sighed, "Damn it, I've been feeding mosquitoes in Nanshuangbanna for over a month now. I really miss that bastard and nagging wife back home."
Since the ratings entered the top three last week, Luo Hui's uneasy mood has calmed down a lot. He has an accurate positioning for "Longing for Life" and as long as it enters the top three, he will have achieved his goal.
