Chapter 222 Someone Panicked
The ratings of "Tucao Conference" have been falling sharply, and the happiest one should be Jianjiang TV Station.
Jianjiang TV Station building, "Fierce Man" program team.
Director Zhang Yang and chief planner Xu Liang sat on two calf-high stools and chatted about "Tucao Conference".
"I heard that Hedong TV Station has been very busy in order to film "Tucao Conference". I wonder how the next episode will be filmed."
Xu Liang said.
In the second half of last year, "Tucao Conference" came out of nowhere. He was under a lot of pressure and had a complicated mood. He was quite depressed. On weekdays, the ratings of "Fierce Man" were far ahead of others, even the ace program of Shonan TV could not catch up. It also made Xu Liang feel that he had no rivals in his heart, and he longed for a capable opponent to appear so that he could rekindle his fighting spirit.
I feel ashamed when I think of this idea now, and even my face is burning.
Since the first episode of "Tucao Conference" was broadcast, the ratings have soared like a rocket, surpassing one program after another, and finally breaking three, surpassing "Fierce Man" and becoming the national variety show ratings champion.
Since then, although the ratings of "Tucao Conference" have not increased terribly, they are still rising steadily, and the potential has not been exhausted. No matter how hard, struggle, and try every possible way, the gap between the "Fierce Man" program team and "Tucao Conference" in terms of ratings has not narrowed, but has become larger and larger.
Xu Liang's so-called "looking around and having no rivals" has become a joke. During that time, he vowed not to be arrogant anymore, not to crave competitors, and not to rekindle his fighting spirit.
The ratings of "Tucao Conference" are getting higher and higher. Xu Liang was originally disappointed, but he did not expect that there would be a big change within the Hedong Provincial TV Station. Tan Yue resigned from the TV station. As the core of a program, "Tucao Conference" was also affected by Tan Yue's departure. The ratings curve is like the Milky Way falling from the sky. Although it can still rank among the top variety shows in the country, it has fallen out of the top three.
Moreover, Xu Liang has also watched the eleventh episode of "Tucao Conference". The quality is indeed several levels lower than when Tan Yue was still there. If the next program is still at this level, Xu Liang will be truly relieved.
During the period when "Tucao Conference" was at its peak, Xu Liang was left with a shadow. Now he does not hope that this program can be reborn.
Zhang Yang laughed, in a good mood, and said: "I have investigated before, "Tucao Conference" is basically from Tan Yue, the core is all planned by him, now he has left, "Tucao Conference" will never be done again."
After a pause, Zhang Yang shook his head with some regret, and said: "What a good talent, but we didn't dig it out of our station."
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Xu Liang pursed his lips tightly, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching slightly.
Having been taught how to be low-key by "Tucao Conference", Xu Liang didn't want any competitors to promote his progress at all. What's more, it was Tan Yue who made "Tucao Conference".
If Tan Yue came to Jianjiang Provincial TV Station, Xu Liang would really be unable to sleep and eat, and it was still unclear whether he could keep his position as the first planner in the station.
But fortunately, Tan Yue did not agree to Jianjiang TV Station's solicitation, and actually joined the entertainment industry.
The building of Xiangnan TV Station.
In a conference room, the "Beautiful Days" program team was also having a meeting.
The ratings of the last episode of "Tucao Conference" collapsed, and "Beautiful Days", which ranked third, returned to the second place.
In the past, people always complained that the second place was boring and felt insulted, but now they have come to their senses. What's wrong with the second place? What's wrong with the second place? !
Director Ma Guoliang and chief planner Sun Haibo were in a good mood. Everyone in the group talked and laughed, and a happy atmosphere filled the conference room.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a good show, "Tucao Conference", and it's original, it can be used as a benchmark for our domestic variety shows, but it was ruined by the people of Hedong Provincial TV Station."
"Hahaha, this is also good. The ratings of this show are so fierce, and it has only been broadcast for ten episodes. It can be broadcast for a long time in the future. If it continues to be broadcast, when will our show have a chance to come out?"
"But we can't be careless. The ratings of the eleventh episode of "Tucao Conference" collapsed, but I heard that they are working hard to shoot the twelfth episode. I don't know if the quality of the next episode will be improved. If the quality returns to the previous level, it will have a great impact on our program."
"Haha, I don't hope much. After Tan Yue left, the taste of "Tucao Conference" changed. For this kind of original program, the taste changes and the program collapses."
Listening to the people in the group discussing "Tucao Conference", Ma Guoliang raised his eyebrows slightly. He has also been paying close attention to the twelfth episode of "Tucao Conference".
The people below don't know, but Ma Guoliang has heard that the leaders of the General Administration of Culture have issued an order to Hedong Provincial TV Station to restart "Tucao Conference" no matter what.
And Hedong Provincial TV Station, from top to bottom, is now intensively filming the twelfth episode of "Tucao Conference".
Ma Guoliang also thinks that even if the quality will improve, it should not improve too much.
I need to find time to inquire more. Ma Guoliang thought to himself that the programs of Xiangnan TV have always been ahead of other TV stations in China. In the past, the position of the champion of domestic variety show ratings was basically monopolized by the programs of Xiangnan TV. It was only in the past two years that Jianjiang TV launched a program "Fierce Man" that surpassed Xiangnan TV with its interesting mechanism.
Although the ratings of "Beautiful Days" are not as good as "Fierce Man" now, people at Xiangnan TV have always believed that there will be a new program that will surpass "Fierce Man" and regain the throne of the national variety show ratings champion for Xiangnan TV.
However, after the explosion of "Tucao Conference", many people at Xiangnan TV felt heavy in their hearts. The performance of "Tucao Conference" is even higher than that of "Fierce Man". Even if the new program of Xiangnan TV exceeds "Fierce Man", it will still be suppressed by "Tucao Conference"?
What should I do?
Many staff members of Xiangnan TV are distressed, from leaders to ordinary staff members.
Originally, because of the high ratings of "Tucao Conference", many leaders of Xiangnan TV, including Ma Guoliang and Sun Haibo, did not have a good year. Unexpectedly, good news came just after the New Year.
"Tucao Conference" collapsed without being attacked, and the internal chaos was unexpectedly caused.
This kind of thing gave people from Xiangnan TV hope, and what happened afterwards was even more surprising. They underestimated the role played by Tan Yue in "Tucao Conference".
With the departure of Tan Yue, "Tucao Conference", the program with the highest ratings, also began to go downhill, and the speed of decline was very fast.
Ma Guoliang picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Tucao Conference" was like a flash in the pan, and its brilliant peak was fleeting, but it left a deep impression in the hearts of Ma Guoliang and other TV people.
Many years later, it will not be forgotten.
In a blink of an eye, it is the weekend again.
Office workers can finally put down their numbing work and start to enjoy a happy weekend life.
Sunday night.
"Tucao Conference" is about to begin.
There are many discussions online about the upcoming twelfth episode.
"The Tucao Conference is about to start."
"Alas, the last episode was really boring, and I don't want to watch this one."
"Who knows, but the ads have been very loud these days."
"I'll go and take a look. If it still doesn't work, I won't watch it anymore. There are so many good programs, there's no need to waste precious weekends on such a program."
In a community in the center of SZ, Hu Yue is busy in the kitchen.
She is a typical urban white-collar worker. Her salary is not very high, but it is not bad. She lives a comfortable life and pays more attention to the sense of ritual.
She is a loyal fan of the Tucao Conference. After the eleventh episode was broadcast, there was a lot of criticism online. Hu Yue didn't like that episode either, thinking that the quality declined too much, but she didn't criticize it online like other viewers.
On this day, after a week of anticipation, she finally waited for the new episode of the Tucao Conference.
She hopes that this episode will satisfy her.
Hu Yue is a girl who pays great attention to the sense of ritual. For tonight's "Tucao Conference", she has postponed the dinner time until now.
She brought out the vegetable salad, boiled corn, fried chicken nuggets and sausages one by one.
In the living room, on the coffee table, several dishes were quickly placed, and next to them were the peonies she bought at the flower shop at the entrance of the community in the evening. You know, this time period is not the season for flowers to bloom, and the price of flowers is very expensive.
However, happiness is the most important thing.
After washing her hands, sitting on the sofa, watching the "Tucao Conference" that was about to be broadcast on TV, Hu Yue first lowered her head and took a deep breath on the flowers, smelling the refreshing fragrance, and then her appetite opened up and she started to eat.
The chicken legs were delicious, and the ham sausage was also fried to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with vegetable salad, the taste was simply wonderful.
The show began.
Listening to the familiar prelude, Hu Yue couldn't help but get excited, and had a strong expectation for the content of the show. She didn't want to eat, so she put down the half-eaten sausage, picked up a corn and started to chew it slowly.
At the same time, Hu Yue was also watching TV attentively.
After the prelude, the program began to enter the main topic, and the host Lin Qifeng came on stage.
One joke after another was thrown out, but Hu Yue didn't have much to laugh at. She felt that she was trying too hard. The program team should have put a lot of thought into these jokes in this episode, and combined them with current hot topics, but they were not as natural as before, revealing a sense of can.
Moreover, the quality of the jokes was uneven.
Hu Yue's movements of chewing corn became slower and slower, but the intensity was indeed increasing.
Her heart gradually sank, and disappointment slowly surged up.
She made so many preparations for this episode of "Tucao Conference", with a full sense of ritual, bought flowers, and cooked delicious meals, but the most important program made her lose her appetite.
She gritted her teeth and watched the show, but Hu Yue's annoyance was indeed accumulated.
So disappointed!
The more I watched, the more disappointed I was!
It was not just a problem with the content of the program. The people on the show were like robots, with numbness in their eyes, and there was no joyful atmosphere that "Tucao Conference" should have.
And the program gives people a feeling of incoherence. Not only does filming TV dramas require one shot to the end, but variety shows also try to shoot a long shot so that the audience can watch it comfortably.
But this episode of the program seemed to be pieced together. Although Hu Yue didn't know what was going on or what went wrong, she felt a little uncomfortable.
This episode of the program was constantly revised, and each part was revised many times. The guests, hosts and even staff were a little numb. Moreover, these clips that were revised according to the suggestions of different people were pieced together. At first glance, they were okay, but some delicate people looked awkward.
On TV, the ending song of "Tucao Conference" also ended.
Bang!
Hu Yue finally couldn't help it, and angrily slapped the coffee table, accidentally hitting the chopsticks on the plate. The ham sausage was pried up and hit Hu Yue's cheek, and finally bounced onto the peony on the coffee table, the petals, and finally fell into the pistil.
Hu Yue didn't care, she just felt angry and heartbroken.
What made her angry was that the twelfth episode of "Tucao Conference" still disappointed people and let her down.
What made her sad was that such a good program might be going to decline from now on.
Picking up her phone, Hu Yue logged into Weibo to see what netizens' reactions were.
Last time, she still had hope for the program team and did not scold with others, but this time she could not do it, it was so disappointing!
Online,
There are already a lot of negative voices about "Tucao Conference".
"It's not good to watch!"
"Yes, it's just not good to watch!"
"It's too stiff. After so many advertisements, I thought there would be some surprises in this episode, but this is it?"
"Depressed! "Tucao Conference" really can't do without Teacher Tan Yue!"
In the forum,
Before the twelfth episode of "Tucao Conference" ended, posts kept popping up.
"No more! I will never watch this show again!"
"To be honest, when I saw Lin Qifeng's shy face, I wanted to punch his head!"
"What the hell, it's really boring!"
"I didn't know before that the general planner behind the scenes is so important to a show. From now on, I can't just look at the guests, but also see if the staff behind the scenes are reliable."
"Yes, it's the same as looking for a director to watch a movie."
The netizens were excited and the atmosphere was boiling.
The major news media did not miss such a good opportunity to get attention, and news reports about "Tucao Conference" were reported one after another.
At this moment, some people panicked.
