The King of Variety Entertainment

Seeing the statistics report in his hand, Wu Liang smoked one after another, the office was filled with smoke, his hand holding the report trembled, and his heart was quite entangled.

He worked hard to write the planning plan, and he did not hesitate to offend He Jiong to protect himself. He used all his uncle's connections and spent 35 million yuan on publicity. In exchange for the highest instant ratings of 1.92% for the premiere of Flowers and Boys, the average The audience rating was 1.83%.

Is this grade qualified? The remaining eleven episodes of this season have not been aired, can we still fight Yang An?

Asking himself, Wu Liang has no confidence in his heart.

And he felt that this result was too embarrassing.

A small step forward will break 2%. This is a very good statistic for any TV station. Generally speaking, the highest ratings of the entire season should be twice that of the first broadcast. 70% of reality shows follow this rule. If the same is true for Flowers and Boys, then they are likely to create a miracle of more than 3.5% in the first season. Of course, this is just a good guess. There are countless examples that looked good in the past but collapsed later.

It was still 0.08% short of breaking 2%. Just such a small amount of data, but it was like a moat in front of Wu Liang.

Hateful, it's only 0.08% short!

Wu Liang pressed hard to put out the cigarette butt, and looked at the fluctuation curve again. The start of the broadcast started to rise from 1.6%. After the seven-member team was assembled, Xu Qing reached the highest peak of 1.92% when he was the last to appear, followed by a very stable trend. In the downward curve, every position where the advertisement is played in the back will drop a small hurdle, just like a cliff step, and finally fall to 1.83%.

In the eyes of TV people, this is an embarrassing situation. They want to rush but can't make it, they have no power to follow up, and they are reluctant to support.

There are only two solutions, one is to make a big deal in the second episode, try to change the decline, eliminate the bad impression of the first episode, and fundamentally reverse the overall situation, which is a late-stage fatigue; Volunteer, let nature take its course, fight a long battle.

Of course, Wu Liang will not sit still. His Flowers and Boys was attacked by Yang An's two programs back and forth. If he does not take the initiative to attack, he will die. He is also forced to find hackers to steal data. He really has exhausted all the tricks. , there is really no way to use it.

Jingle Bell!

The internal phone rang, and it was a colleague from the dispatching center: Director Wu, when will the review content for the second episode of Flowers and Boys be delivered?

Wu Liang withdrew his thoughts,

He said in a hoarse voice: Don't worry, I will tell you in the afternoon, there is still time, right?

The colleague said: It's still too late, but it has to be sent out at 10 o'clock this evening at the latest, otherwise we won't be able to wait for the satellite transmission queue. Recently, the base station is undergoing line rectification, and the queue is relatively long. It would be bad if it was delayed.

The room leak happened to be raining all night, and even the satellite base station was against me!

Wu Liang cursed inwardly, thanked his colleagues and hung up the phone.

Before he could catch his breath, the phone rang again, this time it was the director's secretary calling, telling him to go upstairs for a meeting immediately.

Wu Liang pressed his temples and patted his cheek lightly, trying to wake himself up.

He packed up the files and data, and walked out with his laptop and folders. As soon as he entered the meeting room, his heart skipped a beat. There were already seven people sitting in it, all of whom were powerful figures in the stage. This was a bit big!

He quietly glanced at his uncle, Shen Zhizhong from the editor's office. The latter gave him a warning look. His vest felt cold, and he probably guessed why. He was a little nervous and sat at the back carefully.

The staff arrived and the meeting started. The head of the station said: I will announce one thing first. He Jiong submitted a resignation report to Taili. Taili refused at first, but his attitude was very firm. He would rather break the contract and leave.

hum!

Wu Liang only felt his mind go numb, and his whole body was stunned!

He found that the three leaders of the station were staring at him blankly, while the other people in the R\u0026D center, the editor's office, and the general affairs department were all like him. They were all shocked and had nothing to say. They looked at each other, how is this possible!

Shen Zhizhong was a little unbelievable: He Jiong resigned? How could he resign? He is the No. 1 brother host in Taiwan. He grew up with our Huangmang TV. How could he resign?

Others also echoed, shaking their heads, in disbelief: Did he join Taili in 1998 or 1999? How could he just leave?

I would rather break the contract and leave? What kind of contract did Xiao He sign with Taili? What is the penalty for breach of contract?

Don't worry about the contract he signed, let alone the responsibility for breach of contract! This is not right. I know He Jiong too well. It is absolutely impossible for him to make such a shocking decision easily! Director, what happened?

Facing everyone's doubts, the station director didn't explain, but instead asked Shen Zhizhong: Old Shen, you really don't know why he resigned?

Shen Zhizhong's heart skipped a beat, and he still pretended to be nonchalant: How would I know? Director, stop joking.

The director sneered: I asked for you, and he said that the station doesn't support him, and it's meaningless to stay. You made things difficult for his carefully planned new show, and you deliberately delayed it for two months, which made him disheartened. That’s why I had the idea to quit.”

Shen Zhizhong immediately called Qu: Director, he said that I made things difficult for no reason and deliberately delayed. I can't take the blame for this! Our editor-in-chief's office attaches great importance to his new program. We have held meetings and studied it for two months. The suggestions are all well-founded, in line with the national radio and television regulations, as well as the regulations of our station, absolutely in line with the approval process, and there is no violation of any form!

The director raised his chin to indicate to Wu Liang, and asked coldly: Then Xiao Wu's program plan was approved in three days, how do you explain it?

Shen Zhizhong's face was flushed, and he stood up abruptly: As the old saying goes, you don't avoid relatives when you raise talents, and you don't avoid suspicion when you raise relatives. I treat all my colleagues equally. Wu Liang's plan is better than He Jiong's. This is why we The result of the collective approval of the editor-in-chief's office! Director, if you insist on talking about the relationship between me and Xiao Wu, then you shouldn't have recruited him to the stage in the first place, and you can't have an accident now and turn over the old score, right? You have to say that , Should all employees who are husbands and wives, lovers, and relatives in the station be fired to avoid suspicion?

Wu Liang also wanted to say something, but the director didn't give him a chance at all, and hummed: Very well, this is the opinion of the editor-in-chief's collective, it's not that you deliberately made things difficult, and you put it in a harsh way, the law does not blame the public. No? Everyone may make mistakes in their decision-making. It doesn't matter. Your editor-in-chief's office is doing a good job, and I can't blame it. Since He Jiong has left the post, the stage cannot be without a pillar for a day, so let's do it, Xiao Wu, yes The editor-in-chief's office supports you, and the programs in the station are supported by you. By the way, Flowers and Boys has the highest ratings of 1.92%, right? Work hard and strive to break 2% as soon as possible. You guys are better than Happy Camp The rate is high, very good!

These words sounded like compliments, but they were actually ironic, like a slap across the face, one slap, the slap made Wu Liang feel ashamed, and made him even more frightened.

He really wanted to ask a question, what do you mean by relying on me to support the programs in the station?

Did you make a mistake, Director? You think highly of me too, don't you?

And Flowers and Boys strives to break 2% as soon as possible, this task is even more difficult to achieve, do it well? How much I want to be pointed out a few words and tell me how to do it well!

The most important thing is, Happy Camp does not have He Jiong, what will happen to this show? Who will support it? Let me hold on? Give me a break!

To be honest, Huangmang TV's main variety show is Happy Camp, with an average audience rating of about 1.9%. His Flowers and Boys premiered more than Happy Camp, it looks really beautiful, but you know, Happy Camp has been on the air for nearly twenty years, and it can still achieve such a terrifying ratings, He Jiong alone accounts for more than half of the credit!

Director... You are too much... How can I support this?

Wu Liang couldn't help being embarrassed, he said in a difficult way, no matter how arrogant, arrogant, and confident he is, he still knows that the director is speaking ironically, which is a precursor to anger, and he must retreat three feet at this moment, admitting cowardice for the time being.

Boom!

Sure enough, the head of the station slapped the table hard, and roared: How to support it? Of course it is to support it to death! Aren't you, Wu Liang, very capable? You gave up at the critical moment? In 1996, Taiwan was established and reformed. In 1997, Happy Camp was established. Director Li Xiumin resisted all opinions and strongly revised the program. It was the first domestic production and broadcasting separation and restructuring. The ratings of Happy Camp doubled within half a year and became the second place on Huangmang Satellite TV. You don't know how to support it ? Director Li Xiumin is a woman, how can she support herself?

There was chilling silence in the conference room, no one dared to speak.

Wu Liang stood there being scolded, not daring to move, let alone look at the head of the station. He looked down at the table, cold sweat dripping from his vest.

In 1998, Happy Camp changed hosts, and the ratings plummeted to 0.35%, the lowest in history! Who stood up at that time to turn the tide, prop up this show, and become the pillar of Huangmang Satellite TV? It is He Jiong, Li Xiang! At that time, He Jiong did not have your beautiful overseas work qualifications, he was still in college, and Li Xiang was just a girl, just graduated from college for a year, how did the two of them support themselves?

In 2004, Li Xiang left, and Happy Camp was revised again, but it was not accepted, and the ratings were cut in half again! Who stood up and continued to support this big stall? Or He Jiong! He reorganized the host team, revised the new program, two After a month, the ratings returned to the peak! How did he survive?

Today, with He Jiong leaving, Happy Camp will soon be 20 years old. Without He Jiong, it is hard for me to imagine what this show will be like! At this time, who of us Huangmang TV can stand up and bring this root to life? Support the spiritual pillar of the TV station? Director Wu, no one in the station can do this now, we can only rely on you to support it!
