I am the king of the wild live

Chapter 234
Chapter 234 Broadcasting the Program in Advance
After entering the office, Curriston felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

And the general manager Elias did not watch the edited video for the first time as before, but pointed to the chair in front of the desk and motioned him to sit down.

Kuris sat down anxiously, looking at the frowning Elias, feeling a little scared for a while.

He was very worried that Elias would say that the channel needed to cut the program "Survival in the Wild" for some reason.

He can get the current salary because of this show. Once it is really cut off, let alone return to the previous work status, he will even face the risk of dismissal.

After a moment of silence, General Manager Elias finally spoke:

"Curris, there is bad news, CBS is preparing a wilderness survival show, the content is very similar to the "wilderness survival" we are planning to feature.

They invited Mike, a survival expert, and his wife Ruth, as the hosts of the show. "

Hearing that "Survival in the Wild" was not cut off, Curris was secretly relieved, and then laughed;
"Mr. Elias, I don't think you need to be so nervous. Let alone the quality of CBS programs, we are already at an advantage in terms of broadcasting time.

You know, we've got seven edited episodes now. "

"No, you are wrong."

Elias shook his head and explained:
"So far, no channel has tried programs like wilderness survival, and CBS is not sure whether this type of program will have ratings.

So they plan to use the mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time, and the first episode of the program has been recorded and will be broadcast on prime time next Saturday. "

In the empire, whether it is a TV series or an entertainment program, it has always been filmed before it can be broadcast.

But Berry Country is different. Basically, most Berry dramas and programs adopt the mode of broadcasting and filming at the same time. This mode has an advantage.

That is, when a channel cannot estimate the ratings of the program, it will adopt this mode, first shoot one or two episodes to see the ratings and the audience's reaction.

If the ratings are high, then continue filming, and even if the audience responds very well, the channel will invest more in the program.

Once the ratings are not good and the expected effect is not achieved, the channel will not hesitate to cut the program down the middle to prevent the invested funds from being wasted, which can save the channel a lot of money.

CBS is one of the five major television stations in the country. Its channel launched two dramas "The Big Bang Theory" and "Everybody Loves Raymond", which achieved super high ratings.

Although CBS focuses on berry dramas, in recent years, it has also begun to expand documentaries and entertainment programs.

This time "Survival Couple File" is also a test production of CBS.

It's just that this kind of program appeared for the first time, and they couldn't determine whether the ratings were good or bad, so they adopted this model.

If the response is not good, the broadcast will be stopped immediately. Anyway, less than two episodes of the show have been filmed now, and it didn't cost much.

"Mr. Elias, what do you mean?"

Curris asked with some uncertainty.

After all, the contract signed with Wang Yu at that time was to buy out the copyright for ten episodes together. Now Wang Yu has just finished the seventh episode, and there are still three episodes that have not been recorded.

According to the current progress, if we want to finish recording the remaining three programs, we will probably have to wait until February or March next year.

Elias tapped the table with his fingers and said firmly:

"I have already discussed with the above, and the broadcast of "Survival in the Wild" will be launched in advance, and the time will be the prime time at [-]:[-] p.m. next Friday.

Curris, the promotional video you edited on Weibo is very good, and the audience responded very well.

During this period of time, tens of thousands of viewers have called to ask when the program will be officially broadcast. "

The general manager's compliment made Curlis smile immediately. Judging from what he said, it seems that this year's year-end bonus should not be small, and it is likely to be 20% or even 30% of the annual salary.

"Wang Yu, you are responsible for explaining to him, I will ask the financial department to pay him the copyright fees for the first seven installments.

Also, ask about what the new show is about, and if it's a good fit, keep working on it. "

"Ok, no problem."

Curlis nodded, then got up and walked out of the office, back to his office area, Curlis couldn't wait to call Wang Yu.

The show "Survival in the Wild" was discovered and finally edited by him, and it also saved his career and family.

Curris has no less affection for this show than Wang Yu, and he really wants to know how many viewers will get after the show is finally broadcast.

There is a 12-hour time difference between Berry Country and the Empire. When receiving a call from Curris, Wang Yu and Xu Tongyao had just finished fighting.

"What? The show aired earlier?"

When Wang Yu heard what Curris said on the phone, he was stunned. This sudden news disrupted all his plans at once.

When the original contract was signed, it was agreed to purchase the copyright of ten episodes of the program, so Wang Yu also made a series of plans.

Because of his program, the difficulty of each episode gradually increases with the improvement of strength.

Now, suddenly, the Discovery Channel is airing its own show early, next Friday.

This led to a sharp increase in Wang Yu's reputation, which greatly improved his strength, and caused an obvious gap in the progress of his program.
In the original plan, the locations of the eighth and ninth episodes were the jungles of Vietnam and the Rocky Mountains of Raspberry Country.

Among other things, the broadcast of the first episode of Wilderness Survival will definitely increase his reputation by several million and increase his strength by a large margin.

So at this time, if you go to the jungles of Vietnam and the Rocky Mountains, there will be no feeling of tension and excitement at all. It will be just an outing.

This is like Wang Yu's current attributes returning to the primitive jungle of Shennongjia, completely stress-free.

If this is the case, what is the meaning of survival in the wilderness? For Wang Yu, survival in the wilderness is not only a career, but also a hobby.

He loves survival in the wilderness, if he is to pretend to deal with it casually, Wang Yu might as well not broadcast it.

"Wang, our channel has no way to do it, so we choose to broadcast the program in advance. CBS recently prepared a new program called "Survival Couple File".

The content is very similar to your program, it's all survival in the wild, and their first episode is set to air next Saturday. "

What Curlis said made Wang Yu stunned again. Wang Yu had watched the program "Survival Couple File" in the original world.

The hosts are Mike, a former military survival expert, and Ruth, a reporter's wife.

It's just that compared to Bear Grylls' "Survival in the Wild", this program is much lower in terms of influence and popularity.
