The next day, the staff of "Masked Singer" production team arrived at the station early in the morning as usual.
Luo Hui was even kind enough to bring breakfast for everyone.
Everyone ate while waiting.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Lin walked into the office humming a little tune, and for the first time ever, she put on some light makeup.
I was stunned when I came in. I didn't expect these guys to come earlier than me and were all gathered in the office to have breakfast.
"Director Li, are you here? Have you eaten?"
Luo Hui asked with a smile.
"No."
Li Lin went over and picked up a cup of soy milk and a bun. Just as she was about to put them in her mouth, she saw everyone in the office staring at her eagerly.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'm scared of you. I'll go to the headquarters right away."
Li Lin reluctantly put down the soy milk and buns and walked towards the data department.
"Director Li, please hurry up."
There was someone shouting behind.
Li Lin rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to these guys. He got into the elevator and went to the data department on the fifth floor.
It's 8:05 now, and the data department is usually closed at this time.
However, because the station leaders are very concerned about the ratings of "Masked Singer", the data department usually comes to work half an hour earlier the day after the show is broadcast.
When Li Lin walked to the entrance of the data department, he saw that the office door was already open.
She paused and suddenly felt a little nervous.
The highest viewership record for Friday's 8 o'clock drama was 5.16%, while last week's "King of Masked Singer" had a viewership of 4.68%, a little more than 1% increase from the first episode. At this rate of growth, the third episode is very likely to break the record.
But the more hope I hold on to, the more nervous I become.
This is how Li Lin feels at the moment.
She stood at the door of the data department, took a deep breath, and walked in.
......
......
At 8:30 in the morning, Fang Xiaole walked into the office on time.
However, the atmosphere in the office was different from before. Everyone was working silently with their heads down, no one was talking, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
"What's going on?"
Fang Xiaole walked up to Su Yu and knocked on her desk.
The little girl raised her head, and Fang Xiaole was startled. Her eyes were a little red on her usually lively and cheerful round face.
"Su Yu, who bullied you? No, who dared to bully you?"
Fang Xiaole asked in surprise.
"Director Fang, you're kidding!"
Su Yu burst into laughter, then looked dejected again.
"What's going on? Why is everyone so unhappy?"
Fang Xiaole asked.
"Director Fang."
Li Lin walked over, his face was a little pale and his eyes were a little red.
"Our ratings last night were..."
Li Lin sighed and said, "4.9%."
Fang Xiaole nodded: "Not bad, why are you unhappy?"
Li Lin and Su Yu looked at each other and fell silent. Luo Hui and Zhang Zhiqin came over and Zhang Zhiqin said:
"Brother Fang, be mentally prepared."
Fang Xiaole hit him: "If you have something to say, just say it quickly, stop hesitating."
Zhang Zhiqin bit her lip and said depressedly, "But we're not number one. The first place is 'Youth Training Camp'. Their ratings have increased by almost a third compared to last week, to 4.91%, just slightly higher than ours."
"Director Fang, I'm sorry. I didn't do it well."
Luo Hui said with guilt.
“No, we have responsibilities too!”
Li Lin and Zhang Zhiqin said quickly.
The others in the office felt a little sad when they saw the two assistant directors and the chief planner say this. They all stood up and said:
“No, we didn’t do it well!”
I don’t know since when, but it has become a habit for Fang’s army to dominate the top of the list. In the past, they often reversed the opponent by defeating the strong with the weak, but now they basically crush the opponent from the start, and they are ranked first in every issue without any suspense.
The goal in many people’s minds is no longer to defeat their competitors, but to surpass themselves and break records.
This is especially true for "King of Masked Singer", who has been at the top since the beginning, and the opponents behind him have no possibility of surpassing him.
But unexpectedly, such a huge advantage was wiped out by the opponent overnight.
Besides being shocked, I felt more lost and frustrated.
They didn't know how to face Director Fang.
Everyone looked at Fang Xiaole anxiously, waiting for his lecture.
"What am I talking about? Is this worth crying about?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaole suddenly laughed.
"Director Fang, our show is so creative, we shouldn't lose to those talent shows!"
Li Lin said unwillingly.
"Yeah, Brother Fang, we haven't been second in a long time. I'm really not used to it!"
Zhang Zhiqin was very depressed.
Others also vented their frustrations:
"I haven't eaten all day today. It's too hard to bear!"
"The second one is failure!"
"I can't sleep tonight."
Bang!
Fang Xiaole clapped his hands, and the huge office suddenly became quiet.
He looked around, his eyes sweeping over everyone's face.
Everyone's face was filled with disappointment, reluctance, frustration, and confusion, but Fang Xiaole still had a smile on his face:
"Have you all forgotten what I told you last week? No one can be number one forever! Our third episode's ratings are lower than our competitors', not because our show is bad, but because our competitors have something better than us.
Then everyone should work hard next time, do better than all the competitors, and take back the first place, and then... "
