Chapter 112 Everyone, Please Be Quiet for a Moment! (Update)
on Monday,
Entertainment channel, in the director's office.
Ma Wanli opened the window, lit a cigarette, took out one and threw it to Gao Quan who was sitting on the sofa.
Gao Quan took the cigarette with a wry smile, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it.
He has been quitting smoking recently and will hardly smoke a cigarette a day. Moreover, the tigress at home keeps a close eye on him and often smells the smell of cigarette smoke on his clothes.
However, now he really needs a cigarette to relax.
The ratings of "Wisdom Tree" were 16.18, which was a small increase from the previous episode.
With the current high ratings, it is difficult to increase the ratings every time.
The ratings of "Wisdom Tree" have increased so much this time, and he is also under great pressure.
Can "80s Talk Show Tonight" catch up with "Wisdom Tree"?
Gao Quan took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled it. The smoke drifted on his face, making him look a little melancholy.
After picking up his phone and checking the time, Gao Quan let out a sigh of relief.
Ma Wanli sat across from him, looked at Gao Quan and smiled: "This is the fourth time you are looking at your phone. Can you not sit still?"
After the ratings of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" came out, they were immediately sent to the desks of the directors of each channel. In order to know the results as quickly as possible, Gao Quan didn't even sit in his office after work, so he came directly to Ma Wanli. Waiting for news here.
Gao Quan sighed and said: "The children's channel promoted "Wisdom Tree" too hard."
Ma Wanli flicked the cigarette ashes, shook his head and said, "We can't do this. The most we can do is give some resources to "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show"."
An all-or-nothing approach like that of a children’s channel cannot be learned.
Except for "Wisdom Tree", there is no program available on the children's channel.
But entertainment channels are different. In addition to "Tonight's 80s Talk Show", there is also "I Am a Singer" and other programs with very good ratings. They cannot be as broken as children's channels.
Ma Wanli said: "I am still very optimistic about "The Post-80s Talk Show Tonight". Tan Yue gave me a big surprise!"
Ma Wanli opened his mouth to comfort Gao Quan, but in fact, he was a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, no one can guarantee that the ratings will continue to rise until the results are actually revealed.
However, "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" has indeed given him a lot of confidence since its launch.
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
Ma Wanli raised his head, looked over, and said, "Come in."
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a female employee in uniform walked in. This was not someone from the entertainment channel, but a staff member from the ratings side.
The female staff member held several forms in her hands. She smelled the slightly heavy smell of cigarette smoke in the office, frowned slightly, walked quickly to the coffee table, handed the ratings form to Ma Wanli with both hands, "Director Ma, this is A summary of the ratings of various entertainment channel programs last week.”
Ma Wanli took it and thanked him.
The female staff member nodded, turned around and left quickly. She really couldn't get used to the smell of cigarettes.
Seeing the female staff member go out and close the door, Gao Quan couldn't sit still immediately. He stood up from the sofa and walked to Ma Wanli and said: "Director, look at the "Post-80s Talk Show Tonight" Ratings."
Ma Wanli wanted to laugh at Gao Quan, but he was also nervous and looking forward to it. He put out the cigarette butt, threw it into the ashtray, and picked up the ratings form to read.
Gao Quan's eyes immediately moved to the ratings summary table.
The ratings of each program group on the table have been arranged according to ranking. The first one on the first page is "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show".
Gao Quan and Ma Wanli were not surprised that "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show" ranked first in the channel's ratings. Failure to rank first would really scare them to death.
His eyes were solemn and he moved back slowly. When he saw the ratings of "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show," Gao Quan let out a soft cry.
"Fuck!"
Ma Wanli also laughed out loud when he saw the ratings of "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show".
16.15!
Gao Quan and Ma Wanli looked at each other and saw two words in each other's eyes.
Stable!
Ma Wanli handed the ratings form to Gao Quan and said with a smile: "Okay, you should feel relieved now."
Gao Quan took the ratings summary table, nodded heavily, and then began to look at the table intently.
"I originally thought that if "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show" could achieve a score of around 15.8, we would hope to surpass "Wisdom Tree" before the end of the year, haha, but I am sure that the next issue will surpass It’s time for The Tree of Wisdom.”
Ma Wanli took out another cigarette and lit it.
The cigarette just now was a cigarette to relieve stress.
This cigarette now is a happy cigarette.
Gao Quan smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes, the children's channel is so hard to promote "Wisdom Tree", but it has not narrowed the gap with our "Post-80s Talk Show Tonight"."
"Now we are being chased even more closely, and we are only one step away from catching up. "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" is better than I thought!"
"Moreover, the audience of children's channels is only so large. The current performance of "Wisdom Tree" has basically reached the ceiling. It will not be easy to increase it in the future."
"But the ceiling of our channel is higher than that of the children's channel."
"There is still a lot of potential for "The Post-80s Talk Show Tonight" in the future!"
Ma Wanli smiled and said, "There is one thing you said wrong. Not only is "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" better than you and I thought, but Teacher Tan Yue is also better than we thought."
"As far as I know, when Teacher Tan was filming the show, he would make a few changes in each episode and constantly add new highlights."
"People like Teacher Tan are too suitable for this job. He will be great in the future."
Gao Quan said, "I think it's another Li Shutang."
When it comes to Li Shutang, Ma Wanli snorted and said, "No, I believe he is much better than Li Shutang."
Gao Quan smiled and said, "The director is so optimistic about Teacher Tan."
Ma Wanli said without comment, "If Li Shutang's ceiling is a third-tier public figure, then Tan Yue's is a second-tier one!"
The list of public figures includes celebrities based on many factors, two of which are influence and popularity. In this regard, actors and singers have more advantages than those behind-the-scenes personnel.
Many well-known directors are only ranked second-tier on the list of public figures.
But can you say that these big directors are not as important as first-line singers and actors?
The two of them talked for a few more words, and Gao Quan was about to get up and leave. Today is Monday, and he has to go to the regular meeting of the channel program group.
"Director, I'm leaving first." Gao Quan took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and threw it into his mouth and chewed it.
Ma Wanli nodded.
Watching Gao Quan take the ratings form out, Ma Wanli shouted: "Send me another copy after the copy is done. I haven't read it carefully yet."
"OK." Ma Wanli replied.
Entertainment Channel,
The regular meeting time is coming, and the directors and general planners of each program group are heading to the No. 2 meeting room.
A very similar scene is playing out.
"Director Wang, come back after the meeting and tell us about the ratings of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show."
"Boss, remember the ratings of the talk show."
"Teacher Qi, please send the ratings of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" to the group as soon as they are released!"
In the No. 2 meeting room, many chief planners and directors came with important tasks within the group.
Even Wu Xuemin, the director of "I Am a Singer", was told by his old colleagues in the group to send the ratings of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" back as soon as possible.
It made Wu Xuemin feel a little awkward.
Unconsciously, have these guys forgotten their former glory?
They all forgot that we were also the number one program on the channel!
Wu Xuemin complained in his heart, but he was also very curious about the ratings of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show".
The ratings of "Wisdom Tree" have been released, 16.18%, a very high score. Can "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" catch up?
There weren't too many people in the conference room, so some familiar directors and general planners started chatting.
"What will be the ratings of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show"?"
"Based on its previous upward trend, this time it will at least be 15.8 or 15.9."
"Have you ever thought that it will be a slump this time? Or the ratings won't increase much?"
"I don't dare to think about it. If the ratings of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" are slumping, the director and the head will discuss and do the same as the children's channel, and we will be screwed."
"What the hell? Are you saying that all resources should be pushed to "Tonight's 80s Talk Show"? No way?"
"If the ratings of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" increase well, it won't. If you are right, it will be a slump, haha."
As they were talking, someone slipped up and mentioned whether the entertainment channel would do the same as the children's channel and use all the resources in the channel to promote a program.
Although this possibility is not great, what if? What if the leaders all have a seizure?
Afterwards, as Tan Yue and Zhang Peng entered the conference room, this discussion gradually died down.
Everyone looked at Tan Yue and Zhang Peng with bright eyes.
"Teacher Tan, come on!"
"The ratings of "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" will definitely exceed "Wisdom Tree"!"
"Yes! The ratings will definitely not be bad!"
"Teacher Tan, Director Zhang, I believe you can do it!"
Tan Yue and Zhang Peng were a little confused by everyone's enthusiasm.
What the hell is going on?
Before the two of them could figure out what was going on, they heard powerful footsteps coming from outside. Director Gao Quan strode into the conference room, sat down at the head of the conference table, looked at everyone with a red face, and said, "Everyone, be quiet first."
Everyone quieted down and looked at Gao Quan.
Gao Quan coughed lightly, picked up the form in his hand, and read: "Let me tell you about the ratings of each program on our channel last week."
"Yeah."
The people below nodded frequently and took out their phones at the same time, just waiting for Gao Quan to speak.
