Chapter 133 All Roads Lead to Rome
Hedong TV.
"Stars Please Prepare" program team.
Although the news that Satellite TV will cancel "Stars Prepare" has not yet been confirmed, there are already many related gossips circulating.
In fact, the staff of the previous team also thought that if the ratings could not be improved, one day it would be cut off.
But now that I am really going to be cut off, I still feel a little depressed and uncomfortable.
The notice has not come out yet, but everyone has worked in satellite TV for such a long time, and they are already familiar with the set of procedures in the station. There is no smoke without fire. Now that it has spread, "Celebrities Prepare" will be axed. , there should be a notification in the next two days.
Sun Lei, the chief planner of "Celebrities Please Prepare", folded his hands on his chest and stood silently in front of the window looking out.
Although he didn't watch it, he could feel that the show had the atmosphere of a tree falling and a building about to collapse.
I'm afraid some people with connections in the group have already started contacting the next family.
"well."
Sun Lei sighed.
"Stars Please Prepare" is an old program. The program is not novel enough, and the time slot is not good enough. In the past few months, he has been trying to turn the ratings of "Stars Please Prepare" back, but has repeatedly failed. .
The ratings of "Stars Prepare" have not been rising. Instead, due to some inappropriate changes, the already low ratings have declined.
By last week, the ratings had dropped to 0.07, so much so that the leaders made the decision to cancel the show!
He tried hard, but his efforts failed.
Sun Lei was in a bad mood, but he didn't want to look back and face the disappointed eyes of his colleagues in the team. He just stood in front of the window in a daze, looking at the snow that was gradually freezing outside, and his heart became colder and colder.
Suddenly, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. Sun Lei turned around and saw the person. His expression remained unchanged and he turned to the window again, "Old Ma, why are you here?"
The person here is Ma Long, the chief planner of another satellite TV program "The Head of the World".
Because they have similar personalities and have worked in the same department for a long time, Ma Long and Sun Lei have always had a good relationship.
Now "Celebrities Please Prepare" is about to be cancelled. People leave and have tea. In the past, some staff members would come over to talk, but today there is no one.
Maybe it's because they knew "Stars Get Ready" was going to be cancelled, and other people thought it would be awkward and embarrassing if it came on.
Just now, Ma Long saw Sun Lei standing alone in front of the window from a distance, looking a little lonely, and he couldn't bear it, so he came over directly.
"What's wrong? Are you so arrogant now? I'm not even qualified to talk to you?" Ma Long rolled his eyes and said.
When Sun Lei heard this, he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm afraid I'm not qualified to talk to you in the future."
After listening to Sun Lei's words, Ma Long raised his hand and punched Sun Lei on the back, "What are you talking about? Look at you now, looking lost and listless. What's the big deal? Adjust yourself well and let's start over. ”
Sun Lei smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "It can't be that easy. Come on, you don't have to comfort me anymore. I haven't been defeated that easily. It's just that after all, the program I created has been cut off, so I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable." That’s great.”
Ma Long looked at Sun Lei's silence, then sighed and said, "Then come to my place? If you are willing to come, I will welcome you with both hands."
Malone's "Head of the World" program is also ranked in the middle and upper reaches of Hedong TV's many programs, with a ratings of 0.8 and is expected to exceed 1 in the future.
Hedong Satellite TV is not very strong. It is quite different from powerful satellite TVs such as Xiangnan Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV. A program with a ratings of over 1 is considered a better program.
However, Sun Lei didn't have much reaction after hearing Ma Long's invitation. He shook his head and said, "I won't go. After this show is canceled, I plan to use up all the vacations I have accumulated in the past few years and have a good rest at home." a period of time."
"Oh, I haven't had a good rest for a long time, I'm a little tired."
Ma Long looked at Sun Lei from the side. In the past few months, Sun Lei had been busy making changes to the program and wanted to improve the ratings of "Stars Please Prepare". He had been very busy and busy. Although he was tired, he looked energetic. Very energetic.
But now, the whole person seems a little depressed.
Ma Long sighed softly and said, "I knew you didn't want to come to my side."
"Then you go home and have a good rest. When you come back, what will be the arrangements in the stands?"
"Don't think about anything during this time."
After all, he is also the chief planner. If Sun Lei were to come to "Head of the Four Seas" to help him, Sun Lei would really not accept it easily.
Sun Lei smiled and nodded.
Looking at Sun Lei, who was forcing a smile on his face, Ma Long said with relief: "When things have come to this point, you don't have to belittle yourself. "Stars Please Prepare" was canceled, and your responsibility is not heavy. Such a person has no money, no resources, and no audience. It’s a hell of a time period to produce results.”
Sun Lei pursed his lips, and Ma Long finally spoke to his heart.
He has made so many efforts in the past few months, but the ratings of "Celebrities Prepare" have not increased at all. He does not think that the changes he made to the show are wrong, but the ratings have not increased at all.
He had a vague idea that he was responsible for the poor ratings as the chief planner, but he didn't have much responsibility. In this time period with few resources and few viewers, no matter who he was, he would have to pounce!
Fourth floor, where the entertainment channel is located, tea room.
Tan Yue and Zheng Guang were sitting in a booth and talking.
The provincial and municipal stations were in the same building. Although Zheng Guang was transferred to the satellite TV station, he would occasionally come to visit, and it was quite convenient.
"That's the thing. The ratings of that show have always been bad, and the satellite TV station didn't allocate much funds to them. They couldn't invite any celebrities in the entertainment industry. Gradually, they fell into a dead end, with fewer and fewer resources and worse and worse ratings."
Zheng Guang told Tan Yue about the satellite TV station's plan to cut the show, so that Tan Yue could have a clear understanding.
Tan Yue nodded.
Zheng Guang continued, "I plan to ask my cousin if I can include you in the list of candidates."
"But my cousin is old and will soon retire. He hasn't been involved in the affairs of the station in recent years. I'm not sure how much help he can provide."
Tan Yue took a sip of coffee and said, "Old Zheng, don't be embarrassed. Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll think of other ways later. All roads lead to Rome."
Zheng Guang's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up and said, "All roads lead to Rome? Well said!"
