While the popularity of "The Beginning" has not dissipated, several TV stations contacted Bright Entertainment Company and bought the subsequent broadcast rights at a very high price, preparing to make a profit.
Although it was not broadcast in prime time, the ratings were still quite impressive.
Life gradually returns to normality, and "The Beginning" occasionally appears on Weibo's hot search list.
Beijing.
Chang'an Building, Bright Entertainment Company.
"It turns out that the company is really going to move, and we also have our own office building."
"It seems that the most accurate thing is the gossip. I heard that our company is going to move some time ago."
"Currently, there are only two entertainment companies with their own office buildings, Tianjing Entertainment and Guangmei Entertainment. They are both top-notch entertainment companies in the country. I feel that there is only one building between our company and them... ."
"The relocation is also a milestone and important event for our brilliant entertainment company. I want to make it into a video to record it well."
“After moving to the Xinyue Building, our company will truly belong to the city center, which is a bit exciting just thinking about it.”
"If you change to a new working environment, you will have a different working mood. I wonder what the decoration is like there?"
Early this morning, Cuican Entertainment Company announced an internal message: All formaldehyde tests at the new office location, Xinyue Building, have been completed, and various departments are preparing to start moving in the near future.
As soon as the news was released, it caused discussions among employees within the company, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.
As for the other floors of the Xinyue Building, basically no changes were needed. Chen Ziyu found someone to simply move them, and they were completely ready for use.
It saves a lot of effort in decoration.
The only thing that needs some thought is the music department, which needs to renovate several recording studios for its own singers to record songs. The recording studio equipment has also been purchased with the most advanced and latest equipment in the country.
President's office.
Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu are discussing the distribution of floors in various departments.
It has now been determined that the president's office will be on the top floor and the music department will be on the sixth floor.
Tan Yue looked at the floor decoration map in his hand and said, "Let's put the public relations department on the seventh floor."
The busiest thing in the company is the public relations department. In this chaotic entertainment industry, the most inseparable thing is public relations. If someone slanders the company's image or exposes the company's artists, the public relations department needs to be resolved. In addition, the public relations department is also responsible for the company. Promotional tasks for the work.
Putting the public relations department on the seventh floor will make it easier to connect with any tasks.
Chen Ziyu nodded and had no objection, and the two continued to discuss the floor distribution of various departments.
It was finally confirmed that the logistics department is on the first floor and the new media department is on the second floor.
The third floor is the artist management department.
The film department and TV series department are on the fourth floor.
The fifth floor is the program department.
The music department is on the sixth floor, and the president's office is on the eighth floor.
Chen Ziyu said: "Except for the music department, other departments should move there starting today. We will try to move everything there by the end of the month, and organize a meal for the company's employees next month."
Tan Yue had no objection and nodded in agreement.
That afternoon, the mammoth relocation work of Bright Entertainment began.
Many media are following up on the report, and the fact that Bright Entertainment has rented an entire office building is also a big deal for the entire entertainment industry.
...
...
There have been two things in the entertainment industry recently, one is the relocation of Bright Entertainment, and the other is the upcoming premiere of "Alley".
Today is September 28th, "Alley" premieres.
Just as the popularity of "The Beginning" was about to pass, it once again became a hot search on Weibo. Just as Zhang Pakhao guessed, "Alley" was compared with "The Beginning" on the Internet before it even started airing.
"Do you think the ratings of "Alley" can surpass "The Beginning"?"
"There should be no problem. The director of this drama is Zhang Pakho. He is now one of the top directors in our country. There is no need to doubt his ability."
"So what if he is the top director? The first broadcast of "The Beginning" had a ratings of over 3%. There are few TV series nowadays that can achieve this level."
"It is said that the script of "The Alley" took three years to polish. Looking at director Zhang Pakho's past achievements, he has won numerous awards at home and abroad. It is really hard to say who will win."
Netizens on the Internet are discussing this matter. As an entertainment media, of course, they will not miss this opportunity. As long as it can attract attention, they will exaggerate and report it.
["Entertainment News": After four years, director Zhang Pakho returns with his new film "Alley". As the top director in China, can this work surpass "The Beginning"? let us wait and see! 】
["Big Entertainment": As a veteran in the director circle, Zhang Pakho's new work "Alley", which he has worked hard for four years to create, will be launched on Beijing Satellite TV at 8 o'clock tonight. Will this work bring us surprise or disappointment? Let us Witness it together tonight. 】
["Star Magazine": "The Beginning" received a ratings of more than 3% when it first aired. Can "The Alley" continue such a legend? Very exciting. 】
["Entertainment News": Tan Yue's debut film "The Beginning" as a new director triggered a nationwide viewing craze. Tan Yue allowed us to see the strength of the new generation of directors. Pakho Chang is one of the representatives of the older generation of directors. His new film "The Alley" will premiere today. It will soon be known whether he is getting stronger with his old age or is better than his predecessors. 】
There was a heated discussion about this matter on the Internet, but the two protagonists didn't take it too seriously.
They are all veterans in the entertainment industry, and they are already accustomed to such reports from the media.
Tan Yue is still busy with the company's relocation.
Capital villa.
Although Zhang Pakho did not take the content of the report to heart.
But seeing the media overwhelmingly comparing "The Beginning" with his new drama, Zhang Pakho felt even greater pressure.
The ratings of "The Beginning" are actually a bit scary. It had a ratings of over 3 when it first aired. Not many directors in the industry can do that now.
Pakho Chang is very objective in his evaluation of the quality of his new drama. He knows very well that "Alley" will most likely not be a rival to "The Beginning".
Zhang Pakhao ignored his violent coughing and still had the cigarette in his mouth, puffing away.
The anxiety in my heart has not been relieved in any way.
...
...
Night falls in the blink of an eye, and the air is filled with muggy heat, making people feel even more irritated. The horizon in the distance is already covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain is about to come.
Ruishan Community.
Gujin
Tan Yue's home.
Tan Yue said: "Don't go back today, stay here."
Chen Ziyu looked at the heavy raindrops hitting the window, and could faintly hear the wind sound like a ghost, and nodded silently.
Then there was a loud noise in the sky and heavy rain poured down.
This completely dispelled Chen Ziyu's idea of going home.
Chen Ziyu said: "I'm sweating from moving things today. I'm going to take a shower first."
Tan Yue said calmly on the surface: "Okay", but in fact he was so excited that he could hear his own heartbeat.
Seeing Chen Ziyu turning around and heading to the bathroom, the corners of Tan Yue's mouth were almost raised to the sky.
After nearly an hour, Chen Ziyu slowly came out of the bathroom wearing pajamas.
The pajamas were close-fitting and showed off Chen Ziyu's figure perfectly. Tan Yue felt that his blood was boiling and he couldn't control it.
Chen Ziyu saw Tan Yue looking directly at him, and threw the towel in his hand towards Tan Yue's face. His cheeks turned slightly red, and he forced himself to be calm. He glanced at Tan Yue lightly, with a slight hint in his voice. A little shyly: "What are you looking at!".
Tan Yue coughed in a serious manner, picked up the fruit that had been mixed with yogurt, and changed the subject: "Do you want to eat fruit?"
Chen Ziyu sat next to Tan Yue, picked up a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth.
Tan Yue looked at it with a smile, but kept controlling his surging energy and blood, and pretended to be calm and said: "It's delicious, isn't it."
Chen Ziyu nodded, noticed that "Alley" was playing on the TV in the living room, and asked, "How is this show?"
Tan Yue picked up a piece of fruit and fed it to Chen Ziyu. After sorting out his dizzy brain, he commented: "After all, it is a drama directed by Zhang Pakho. Of course, the quality of "The Alley" cannot be overemphasized, whether it is the plot or the plot. He’s also a pretty good actor.”
Chen Ziyu was eating fruit while watching a drama, and felt that the drama "Alley" was quite good.
There was lightning and thunder outside, the wind was strong, and the sound of rain was getting louder and louder, as if you were pouring water down from a basin.
The room was warm. Chen Ziyu's attention was all on the TV series. Tan Yue's main energy was on the TV, and the other part was admiring the 'beautiful scenery' around him.
The fruit in the fruit bowl is gradually bottoming out, and the first two episodes of "Alley" have ended.
Chen Ziyu asked: "Do you think the ratings of "Alley" can surpass "The Beginning"?"
Tan Yue thought for a moment, mainly because the long legs in front of him distracted him, and said slowly: "The ratings should not be as high as "The Beginning". The plot of the short drama is very short, and the story must be told within a limited time. To listen to the audience, this will require a higher degree of compactness of the plot.
"The Alley" is undeniably a good drama, but the plot is still a bit draggy. "
""Alley" mainly talks about the relationship between neighbors. This type of emotional drama suffers from short dramas. In order to better shape the relationship between the characters, the plot inevitably has to deal with some of the relationships between the characters. Trivial matters are used to set the stage, which will make the audience feel bored.”
"The subject matter of "The Beginning" seems to be very advantageous. Imagination is the favorite thing of young people nowadays, and the rhythm is compact and not procrastinating."
"So all things considered, the ratings for 'The Alley'... will be lower."
After Tan Yue analyzed it carefully, he picked up the few fruits left in the fruit plate and took a bite.
Chen Ziyu said with a smile: "If you put it this way, can "The Beginning" compete for the first place in overseas activities?"
Tan Yue nodded.
In this event, Tan Yue felt that the most stressful competitor was Zhang Pakho. After watching the premiere of "Alley" today, he felt relieved.
Tan Yue was still immersed in the analysis just now, when suddenly Chen Ziyu moved over, their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.
Then Tan Yue felt that his mouth was soft and stagnant for a few seconds. Tan Yue put his hand on Chen Ziyu's back and was about to take the next step. Chen Ziyu stood up and said with a smile: "This is it." The reward given to you by the company."
Chen Ziyu turned around and left, returning to the bedroom on the second floor with a slightly hurried pace.
Tan Yue licked the milkshake on his lips and said, "It's so sweet."
The 'beautiful scenery' around him was gone, and Tan Yue was not in the mood to continue watching TV, so he returned to the bedroom on the fifth floor to sleep.
...
the next day.
The downpour had turned into a drizzle, just enough to cover up the summer heat.
All their belongings had been moved to Xinyue Building, and Tan Yue and the others went directly to the new company.
Most of the company's departments have already been moved here. The recording studio has been working overtime these days and is about to be completed. The entire relocation of Bright Entertainment will be completed by the end of the month.
Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu's offices were next to each other, and they returned to their respective offices.
Time passed by, and it was not until ten o'clock that Tan Yue put down the documents in his hands and opened the official website of the General Administration of Culture.
Tan Yue's expression did not change much during the whole process, and the result was just as he imagined. The ratings of "Alley" did not exceed the premiere ratings of "The Beginning".
However, Beijing Satellite TV still ranks first in the prime-time ratings of TV dramas after 8 pm. The first episode of "Alley" has a ratings of 2.55%, and the second episode has a ratings of 2.55%. 2:58 has become the most watched TV series at the moment.
'ding ding'
Tan Yue's cell phone rang, and it was a message from Chen Ziyu: Congratulations, you guessed correctly.
Tan Yue replied: Is there any reward today?
There was no news from Chen Ziyu, and Tan Yue continued to process the documents in his hand.
Public relations department on the seventh floor.
Wu Gong, director of the public relations department, sipped tea and looked at the official website of the General Administration of Culture on the computer screen, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
He is still very concerned about the ratings of "Alley". If the ratings of "The Beginning" are exceeded, many media will definitely take the opportunity to put down Mr. Tan and even their brilliant entertainment company.
But the situation is different now. The ratings for the premiere of "Alley" were 2.58%, and I have taken the initiative. If it really comes to the forefront of public opinion, I only need to publish a report in a timely manner. Just declare it, it’s nothing more than maintaining a learning attitude.
Wu Gong, who felt at ease in his heart, couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Tan is really too fierce. Even the top directors in the country have never done him. In the future, which director in the TV drama industry will still be his opponent."
Wu Gong looked at the still gray weather outside and said to himself: "It's so timely. The entertainment industry is really going to change."
"Alley" has not even started airing yet, and has been compared with "The Beginning" by major media.
Now that the premiere results of "Alley" have come out, the media will definitely report this matter in order to gain traffic.
After all, this is what these media often do.
Tan Yue and Zhang Pakho are bound to be trending on Weibo.
It depends on how things develop next. In fact, Wu Gong's public relations plan has already been prepared.
