The paper in Chen Qiao's hand was freshly printed, with "Lighthouse TV Drama Popularity Index" written at the top.
The so-called "Lighthouse Heat Index" is a platform dedicated to analyzing and counting TV dramas currently on air. The data on this platform is very comprehensive, including the TV drama ratings, online playback volume, and the popularity index of the main actors.
The "Lighthouse Index" is highly authoritative, and many entertainment companies and investors use Lighthouse data as an important reference for evaluating the performance of their own TV dramas.
At this moment, the data in the lighthouse in Chen Qiao's hand was as follows:
"The Longest Day in Chang'an", platform: iQiyi Video, Apple TV, playback volume: 150 million,
Artist Popularity List:
Lei Tao, 11th place.
Zhou Xiyang: 8th place.
Wang Jiayu: No. 36.
TV series popularity ranking: No. 1.
And below "The Longest Day in Chang'an", seven or eight digits away, we can see the data of "Sword of Love in the Immortal Mountain".
"Sword of Love in the Fairy Mountain", platforms: Yunhai TV, Shenzhen TV, Kyoto TV, Penguin Video, and Huku Video.
Ratings: 1.2%.
Number of views: 70 million.
Artist Popularity List:
Luo Zhenzhen, 10th place.
Chen Xiran: 9th place.
Zheng Yang: No. 25.
TV series popularity ranking: 9th.
In terms of the number of platforms for the two dramas, "Sword of Love in the Immortal Mountain" occupies the three major satellite TV stations and the two largest online platforms, while "The Longest Day in Chang'an" only has two online platforms, iQiyi Video and Apple TV.
In terms of actors, Luo Zhenzhen and Chen Xiran are both top-tier, and their popularity far exceeds that of Lei Tao and Zhou Xiyang.
However, after the first two episodes of the two dramas were aired, the drama that ranked first in popularity was "The Longest Day in Chang'an", which was at a disadvantage in all aspects of resources.
Even Zhou Xiyang, who was originally in the second tier in terms of traffic, surpassed Luo Zhenzhen and Chen Xiran in the artist popularity ranking in just two hours!
How is this possible?
Chen Qiao's face turned ashen, and he crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball.
Knock knock.
"Come in!"
Liu Feng entered the office and saw that Mr. Chen looked unhappy. He hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to come in and sit down silently.
“Look at this!”
Chen Qiao threw the crumpled paper in front of Liu Feng.
Liu Feng looked at the paper ball on the table and knew what was on it. He whispered:
"Mr. Chen, I've just looked at the data."
"Watch it again!" Chen Qiao roared.
Liu Feng silently picked up the paper ball, spread it out, straightened it, looked down at it for a while, then looked up:
"Mr. Chen, I've finished reading it."
Bang!
"Just watch it and forget about it? You're the director of the Film and Television Department. If anything goes wrong with this show, you'll be held responsible!"
Chen Qiao slammed the table and pointed at Liu Feng's nose and said harshly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, it's our fault for not doing our job well. We will find a solution."
Liu Feng was not surprised by Chen Qiao's behavior and admitted his mistake in a low voice.
Although the project of "Xian Shan Qing Jian" had already started when he took over as the director of the film and television department, he had no room to intervene. If the show flopped, he would actually be the least responsible person. But since the boss said you were wrong, then of course you were wrong.
"snort!"
Seeing Liu Feng so sincere, Chen Qiao couldn't scold him any further. He sat down slowly and asked in a cold voice:
"Is there any solution?"
"Mr. Chen, I think the current situation shows that audiences are no longer as demanding of TV dramas as they were a few years ago, and traffic is no longer everything. Audiences have seen too many young actors and actresses whose looks outweigh their acting skills, and they still want to see more TV dramas with good stories, excellent production, and good acting."
Liu Feng paused and continued, "Mr. Chen, times have changed."
"What did you say?"
Chen Qiao narrowed his eyes and his voice became extremely cold and stern:
"You mean, I'm out of touch with the times?"
Liu Feng quickly said, "Mr. Chen, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that 'Sword of Love in the Immortal Mountain' is likely to fail to meet our expectations. We can promptly withdraw subsequent promotional resources and instead invest in dramas with reliable scripts and actors. This may not be impossible to recover the current losses in the future."
Bang!
Chen Qiao slammed the table again, stood up with a thud, his eyes bloodshot:
"Follow-up?! If 'Sword of Love in the Immortal Mountain' doesn't meet the company's expectations, there will be no follow-up for either you or me! Do you understand?! Li Zheng has disliked me for a long time. I made the final decision on this project. If we lose money, Li Zheng will use this opportunity to remove me from my position at the board meeting!
You won't be able to keep your position as minister by then! Do you understand? We have no way out!
If the drama doesn’t work, we’ll just push it to the end!”
Liu Feng looked up blankly at the furious Mr. Chen. Because he slammed the table and stood up so violently, the wig on Mr. Chen's head fell off, revealing his bald scalp.
He sighed and nodded, "Yes, I understand, Mr. Chen. I will find Director Yang from the Publicity Department to work out a solution."
What else can I do?
If the drama is not good, then we can only use the old tricks to hype ourselves and discredit our opponents.
"Within three days, I want to see 'Sword of Love in the Immortal Mountain' return to number one on the popularity charts!"
Liu Feng opened his mouth, wanting to correct his boss, you used the wrong words, "Xianshan Love Sword" has never been ranked first, this is not called "returning to the first place", at most it can only be regarded as climbing to the first place.
However, this idea can only be kept in my heart and cannot be spoken out.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
