Chapter 476 He Is Really Popular

Friday, half past eight.

Tan Dezhang came to the TV station early as usual.

Unlike other enterprises and institutions, the TV station has people working 24 hours a day. Even in the middle of the night, there must be someone on duty in the office to deal with any emergencies .

While taking the elevator up, it happened that the TV station staff who took the same elevator as Tan Dezhang went up, as usual, and said "Morning, Mr. Tan", and no one dared to speak.

Facing their greetings, Tan Dezhang also nodded and said "Morning".

This kind of situation has basically happened every day in the past half a year, but today, the situation is more or less abnormal-although at first glance, I can't feel anything, but Tan Dezhang can clearly sense it. , Everyone looked at him, which seemed to be slightly different from before.

When he got to the office, the secretary who came to the office earlier than him made him a cup of coffee and put it on the table. Before he left, he turned around and said with a smile, "Taiwan Tan, the fact that the audience rating was over four last night, is on stage. It's all over the place."

Tan Dezhang was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.

After thinking about it, he chatted with the secretary in a very rare way: "Has it spread? You guys are so quick!"

The secretary knew that this was the best time to flatter him, so he said at the time: "No, it's been a year, and our ratings have finally passed four points again, and the highest has reached 4.6. Good news, why not spread it overnight? I heard everyone say that they thought you were an outsider to TV stations, but now you find out that you are an expert in choosing TV dramas!"

Tan Dezhang smiled when he heard this.

It is impossible to judge whether the secretary's words are true or not, and perhaps there are indeed some staff members who would say this with emotion, but in Tan Dezhang's view, this morning, his secretary "listened" to these words from the outside. Most of them are made up by himself.

However, whether he is true or not, everyone loves to listen to flattery, especially the timing and direction of his flattery, which made Tan Dezhang very comfortable and very useful. Therefore, Tan Dezhang also accepted it with a smile.

Of course, with Tan Dezhang's wisdom, he understands flattery like this, just listen to it and be happy, it should not be taken seriously.

So he paused, and he ordered: "When the head of Wei arrives, let me know."

The secretary nodded when she heard the words, and left with interest.

When the secretary went out, Tan Dezhang, who was pretending to be reading documents, looked up, thinking about the eyes of those people in the elevator and corridor, he couldn't help smiling, shook his head, and smiled again. It's just that this time later, it has already brought some self-deprecating meaning.

He thought that he was not an ordinary person, and had always demanded his every word, deed, and every action with a standard far higher than that of ordinary people. But when things came to an end, he suddenly found that he actually enjoyed those respectful and awe-inspiring gazes. of.

Yes, he now understood why he felt those gazes were strange.

In the past, because I set off a thunderous reform when I first arrived, and no matter what tricks they used, they couldn't stop me at all, so in the end, everyone in the stage was a little afraid of me, and looked at me. In, unconsciously, there was a sense of fear. But now, besides fear, there seems to be a little more... respect?

maybe!

Tan Dezhang shook his head and smiled again, laughing at himself in his heart, but still couldn't hold back his brows.

After all, in the final analysis, this TV series was indeed snatched by myself, and it was finally snatched by taking great risks and persevering with great courage. All kinds of forces from all sides are putting pressure on him unscrupulously, and now, its ratings as high as 4.6 have already proved that his decision was wise at the beginning, isn't it?

…………

At around nine o'clock, the secretary came to inform Tan Dezhang that the head of the station, Wei Ming, had just arrived and had already entered the office.

Tan Dezhang has always had a problem with Wei Ming, who is the director of the station, always arriving later than ordinary employees. One of the important reasons for the repeated decline in past performance. But he knew that it was not the time to pursue such a thing, because he had more important things to do.

After about ten minutes, guessing that Wei Ming had recovered his breath, he got up, straightened his clothes, turned around and went out the door.

At the door of Wei Ming's room, Wei Ming's beautiful female secretary who looked like she was in her early twenties knocked on the door for him. When Wei Ming called out "Please come in", Tan Dezhang took a deep breath and pushed the door open. .

Come back today, but I feel quite proud of myself.

But to Tan Dezhang's surprise, Wei Ming also looked proud and proud!

"Dezhang, come here, sit down, sit down! Haha, I have already received the following report, 4.6, nothing to say, your vision is still very good!" After a pause, he asked Tan Dezhang to sit down, At the same time, he also got up and walked over, sat down on the sofa, and said with a smile: "I just received the news and couldn't help being happy, so I called the chairman, haha, your father is also very happy!"

Tan Dezhang was taken aback when he heard the words, then couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't help scolding "old fox" in his heart!

Well, if you think about it, you know, it’s better to ask for credit than someone who knows how to do things. Now, my father must think that Wei Ming initiated this matter, or at least he will understand that he is the one who insisted on doing this matter. However, I still can't explain it seriously.

First, he is the head of the station, without his acquiescence, it is indeed impossible for him to be so arbitrary on such a big matter, and second, the series of reform plans in his mind have not yet started, if it is because of such a small matter now Let alone whether Wei Ming will stand on the opposite side of himself, at least with his father, he will definitely leave the impression of "small belly, no sense of teamwork and leadership"— —The latter one is more deadly than the front one!

Tan Dezhang raised his head and saw that Wei Ming, who was opposite him, was smiling unfathomably, as if he was waiting for himself to express his position. He smiled at that time, cursing inwardly, but said with a smile: "Before I came to the TV station, my father told me repeatedly, It is said that Director Wei is a very capable person. After letting me come, don’t do things according to your temper. Was it not because of your wise decision, Director Wei? If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have dared to spend such a large sum of money to buy this TV series if I had the guts!"

Wei Ming laughed in satisfaction when he heard the words, and waved his hands bluntly: "It's my duty to support you and support your reform of the TV station. Your father has always told me so, you must support me. Young people do some radical things in our opinion! He also said that this world, after all, belongs to young people!"

Tan Dezhang smiled when he heard the words, and said sincerely: "Yes, what my father said is right, the old man is always so wise and insightful!"

Hearing this, Wei Ming laughed out loud.

Tan Dezhang knows that this negotiation, or the exchange of interests, is considered complete.

Give Wei Ming at least half of the credit, or even more than half, and in the future, he will continue to follow his father's instructions and support himself in advancing the reform—this fucking exchange of benefits!

But, well, as long as the old guy can continue to support his next move.

So after thinking about it, Tan Dezhang said with a smile: "Wei TV, I'm here today, mainly to tell you about the two programs mentioned last time." Seeing that Wei Ming's eyes were confused, he explained: "It's Last time I went to Shuntian Mansion, I found out that Li Qian's Minghu Culture is preparing two variety shows."

"Oh! I remembered." Wei Ming suddenly realized.

Tan Dezhang smiled, regardless of whether he was pretending or real, he just continued: "On Tuesday, Mr. Qi Jieqi from Minghu Culture called me to ventilate. It is said that the talk show is just a talk show. Show, it has been confirmed that it will be settled in the three programs of Huaxia TV. According to the information I heard in the circle, the relationship between Minghu Culture and Li Qian, Shuntian Satellite TV and the variety show department of Huaxia TV , It’s really good. So, this news is not surprising. But next, I think we need to hurry up. We lost that talk show. Fortunately, we still have to fight for the other talent show! "

Wei Ming always listened with a smile on his face, listening to Tan Dezhang talking endlessly from the current lack of an influential and appealing national variety show on Hunan Satellite TV, to the conversations he had with Li Qian about the talent show general idea.

After Tan Dezhang finished speaking, he nodded and said with a slight smile: "This idea is very good and right, of course I personally support it! But... Dezhang, you also need to know that we can get here One step, the resistance in the station is already huge! I can tell from your description that once this program is put into operation, it will probably be a huge project, and the manpower and material resources that will be invested at that time will be huge. So, do you think we should take it easy?"

Tan Dezhang's face was calm when he heard the words, but he said slowly but firmly: "Weitai, with all due respect, there is no time to slow down!"

After a pause, he said solemnly: "First of all, if we don't accept this program, Li Qian's relationship with Huaxia TV and Shuntian TV will at most be a little more homework, and sooner or later he will settle down. Huaxia TV and Shuntian TV are not tempted. I guess Shandong, Dongfang, and Zhejiang will also be tempted. Once this matter is known to everyone and we need to fight with everyone, the result will be the same as this "New White" Just like "Legend of the Lady", if we want to win it, we have to pay a price that others are not willing to pay to win it, and at that time, the investment will be even greater!"

Hearing this, Wei Ming smiled and nodded, like Maitreya Buddha, then he raised his hand and stroked the thinning hair on the top of his head, before he said with a smile: "It's not that I don't support you, Dezhang, buy this TV series back This matter, the current ratings have already proved it for you. Facts have proved that this TV series is a good show, and it is already 4.6 in the fourth episode, and it is worth looking forward to. Regarding this, Taili Your ability is also recognized by everyone from top to bottom, and everyone is praising it! But it is inevitable, there are still some gossip. For example, I heard people say that it cost 15 million to buy it. Coming back with a 4.6 doesn't seem like a very profitable business?"

Tan Dezhang frowned when he heard this, but before he could refute, Wei Ming laughed again: "Of course, this is very unreasonable. If others don't know about it, how can I not know about it? A 4.6 is already very rare." Besides, it’s just the fourth episode, and the follow-up is still worth looking forward to! So, if someone dares to say this in front of me, I must seriously criticize him! Nonsense!”

Tan Dezhang hesitated to speak when he heard the words.

The old guy Wei Ming had to say all the good and bad things, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

After a pause, Wei Ming said again: "When you said it just now, I also thought about it carefully. You said that there should be a program on our station that has a certain influence across the country. I think this idea is very correct. Ah! So, I don’t think it’s impossible to do the thing you mentioned! For example, can we reduce the scale a little bit? Just follow the idea of ​​​​running the program you just mentioned, and now we have such a place in HUN Province Within the scope of the project, let’s try it out first? Let’s see how it works.”

Tan Dezhang looked up at him in surprise.

But at this time, Wei Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of deep wisdom, and said with a smile: "Furthermore, isn't it just a show, can't our station do it by itself? Why do we have to work with a record company?" Company cooperation? In the end, we will provide manpower and material resources. They just send out a few stars to make appearances and shoot shows, but they will definitely share a large amount of benefits in the end. This kind of cooperation is really worth it Why can’t we do it ourselves? We need celebrities to support the scene, so why don’t we just spend money to find a few celebrities?... Dezhang, you need to consider the problem comprehensively! What do you think?”

At this moment, Tan Dezhang has a lot to say: It is easy to run a variety show, but is it so easy to do it well? If it is really that simple, why has there been no new program launched in the station for a year, and why are they forced to stop running after low ratings again and again? Besides, do you really think you can do it well by copying other people's ideas? Moreover, I really think that Li Qian, and the singers and stars under Minghu Culture, especially Li Qian's almost invincible creative talent in the music circle and his reputation as a creative talent in the circle, can be replaced by just any singer. of? ...

It can be said that there are too many reasons in Tan Dezhang's mind now, and he knows that any one of these reasons, if he takes them out, is that the person in front of him has been sitting in the director's seat for ten years, but put Hunan The director of the TV station, who has been brought into the abyss step by step, has no power to refute. However, at this moment, looking at Wei Ming's calculating face, he just smiled.

"What you said makes sense. It seems that I didn't think about it?"

While speaking, he showed a self-deprecating smile and nodded, as if sincerely admiring the old director's wisdom and wisdom, said: "Then, after I go back, I will think about it carefully, do you think so?"

Wei Ming nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

…………

After watching the TV series last night, Zhu Qiang tossed and turned all the time, and didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night, so when he woke up, it was already half past six.

With a pair of dark circles under his eyes, he quickly left the house and went downstairs after washing up, took a few bites of breakfast, and then rushed over, preparing to help the crew carry the costumes and props as usual.

But today, when he rushed to the prop room temporarily rented by the crew, as soon as he entered the door, someone laughed and said, "Yo, Xu Xian is here!"

Zhu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then realized: Someone finally watched his TV series last night?

He smiled, forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, walked over to help move things to the car outside, and said with a smile: "Have you all watched "Legend of the New White Snake" too?"

There are a total of more than a dozen production crews, including the stage managers, prop designers, costume designers, etc. Some people said they watched it, while others said they didn't.

Said that Xiao Zhou, the prop master who had seen it, had a close relationship with Zhu Qiang, and said with a smile: "I didn't see it at first, but I called home last night, and my wife said that the play was special. It looks good, I recommend it to you, I just watched it, half of the third episode, and all of the fourth episode, the filming is pretty good. Xiao Zhu, your acting is also very good!"

Zhu Qiang didn't know whether he was just being obedient or sincerely approving and approving, but compared to the fact that no one knew that this drama was on the air before, at least someone watched it now, and the evaluation was also good. It made him unbearably happy.

At this time, Zhu Qiang was also embarrassed to ask others about his after-views. It felt like he was chasing praise and praise, but young people couldn't hide things in his heart. Feeling happy.

While moving things, someone even joked with him, "Xiao Zhu, you are about to become popular now! When you become popular, don't forget the brothers!" After saying this, everyone laughed and agreed.

When Zhu Qiang heard this, he naturally smiled shyly, "Where is it? I don't know what will happen, don't say it's popular, I'll be very happy if someone can continue to ask me to act in the next play! It's up to you guys not to forget I'm right, wait for the next crew, if there's a suitable opportunity, don't forget to give me some good words, I'll invite everyone to drink!"

Everyone agreed in a mess.

At this time, the people who said "Zhu Qiang is going to be popular" were really just joking. The people who said it didn't take it seriously, but the people who listened didn't dare to take it seriously at all. Even Zhu Qiang felt that , I am still far away from becoming popular! Now he just hopes that this TV series will not be too aggressive.

But in fact, people who talk about it and people who listen to it don’t know that when a TV series is broadcast on a platform with limited influence and coverage like HUNAN Satellite TV, it can achieve the highest ratings of 2.7 from the first night. On the second night, it jumped directly to the highest rating of 4.6, and almost maintained a reputation of zero negative reviews from the beginning to the end. What does it mean?

At this time, neither the speaker nor the listener realized that Zhu Qiang, an acting student who has not yet graduated from university, is really becoming popular!

…………

Tan Dezhang locked himself in his office for a whole day.

Even lunch and dinner were bought by the secretary and sent in.

After he took a few bites of food in the office, he sent his secretary to take away all the cutlery and ordered him to go straight to get off work. Then he made a pot of tea, turned on the TV, and quietly waited for tonight's TV series broadcast.

In other words, he was waiting for tonight's ratings data.

At 8:02 p.m., the fifth episode starts on time.

Considering that tomorrow is Saturday, and the practice of major TV stations, there must be a variety of variety shows scheduled for the prime time on Saturday and Sunday nights, so the TV series must be suspended.

In other words, after watching today's two episodes, the audience will have to endure the torment of waiting for the drama for the next three days.

The fifth episode follows the previous one, and the story is still very exciting.

In fact, the story has developed to the present, especially for the part of the audience who have been following the first episode since the beginning, they are completely hooked. This level of storytelling, this wonderful plot and extremely attractive plot The characters in the movie have already made the audience want to stop. And even for the part of the audience who just started watching last night, because the previous foreshadowing is actually not difficult to understand, so they who watched directly from the first climax of the whole drama in the third or fourth episode, at this moment Already deeply addicted to the story of this TV series.

An hour later, when the fifth episode was over, without keeping Tan Dezhang waiting for too long, the staff called in, Tan Dezhang answered the phone, and the staff over there said in great surprise: "Taiwan, episode five The highest is 6.6, which is two points higher than the highest data in the previous episode, an increase of 45%!"

Tan Dezhang gave an understated "hmm" and said, "Got it. Let's see how the ratings of the next episode will be later!" The staff on the other end of the phone said, "Yes, wait for the next episode." I will report to you immediately after the collected data are collected!" Tan Dezhang hung up the phone quickly.

Sit back, make tea, watch TV, drink tea.

Soon, another hour passed.

The sixth episode of "Legend of the New White Snake", even the ending song is over.

A few minutes later, when the phone rang as expected, Tan Dezhang got up, walked over, and picked up the phone.

"Tai Tan, the sixth episode's highest is 7.2! That's 7.2! This TV series is really crazy! How many years has our station not gotten more than seven points of ratings data? He actually broke the record in the sixth episode Already!"

Maybe it's because I've been depressed for too long, or maybe it's because the surprise this time was too violent and shocking, so the staff on the other end of the phone seemed a little too excited to control themselves.

But when Tan Dezhang heard the words, he just smiled slightly.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "What is the name of the TV series that is broadcasting on Huaxia TV? I remember it was called "Love Is Not Poetry"? What are their ratings?"

The other end of the phone froze for a moment, and then said: "This...Taiwan Tan, we only have their ratings data from last night here for the time being. Tonight's data may not be known until early tomorrow morning. After all, we didn't monitor that. We need to wait for the data from above. Uh, yesterday I remembered that the TV series seemed to have the highest... 7.4 points?"

After a pause, the staff on the other end of the phone obviously became emotional again, "Yeah, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me! "Love Is Not Poetry" must have been the number one rating last night, but today we suddenly rose It’s a lot, they will definitely be affected to some extent, maybe they will be pulled down by a few o’clock because of our hit broadcast, if that’s the case...Taiwan Tan, our station won’t be trying to win the ratings Is it number one?"

Hearing this, Tan Dezhang raised his eyebrows and showed a smile, but immediately, he calmly said: "Let's talk about it when the data comes out! You guys, don't make it too early, wait for the data to come out!"

After a few more words of advice, Tan Dezhang hung up the phone and walked back and forth in his office for a few steps, with a confident smile on his face. After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and dialed his secretary's number, and when the other end connected, he ordered: "After going to work next Monday, write a leave note for me and send it to Director Wei, just say that I feel I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to rest for a while. Just write for a month."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether the secretary responded or not, so he hung up the phone, thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, and called his home. When a gentle voice rang on the other end of the phone, he She calmly said: "Arrange someone to book the plane ticket. Didn't my daughter say that she wanted to go to Australia to see kangaroos? Let's go to Sydney tomorrow!"

After making arrangements at home, he thought about it, went back to his desk, turned on the computer, found the post he found on the forum before, checked it again, and then smiled and nodded .

He remembered correctly, according to the schedule announced by Minghu Culture, Liao Liao's fan meeting in Sydney was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
