Twelve o'clock in the evening.
Blue Terrace.
One of the offices was still brightly lit.
They are all waiting for the ratings of the TV series they are responsible for.
"It's out! Our "Lurker" had a ratings of 0.9% on the first day it aired!"
As these words fell, everyone in the office breathed a sigh of relief.
Although 0.9% is not a requirement for a popular drama, it is fine as long as it is not bad.
Chinese people like moderation the most.
Neither up nor down.
Not getting ahead, not falling behind, just right!
As long as tonight's ratings are stable, the subsequent data will be about the same.
In fact, they all know that this show cannot be a hit.
They don't expect to become popular.
The only requirement is not to be at the bottom.
That's enough.
"get off work!"
"Go home, go home. This is the last time I've worked overtime in this month."
"Hahaha, don't worry, I will get off work on time tomorrow night."
"Xiaolong, go to Weibo and post the ratings!"
Mango station.
The staff in charge of "The Story of Ancient Swordsman" are all waiting for the results of the ratings.
One of the employees asked the department head: "Sister Zhang, what do you think the ratings of our "Gu Jian Xia Tan" can be?"
A nervous middle-aged woman shook her head: "I don't know either. It's hard for us to say without the data."
Everyone was also anxiously waiting.
"Why haven't the ratings come out yet?"
"Yeah, is it so slow backstage?"
"Sister Zhang! Sister Zhang! Sister Zhang! Here we come! The ratings of our "Gu Jian Xia Tan" are out!"
When Sister Zhang heard this, she immediately stood up from her chair: "How much?"
"1.42%!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered.
"Great! Our efforts were not in vain."
"marvelous."
"Great!"
"Hahaha!!"
After hearing this, Sister Zhang was very pleased.
As a professional in the industry, she knows that a TV series can be considered a high-rating drama in the traditional sense if the average ratings of a syndicated drama on two channels exceed 1%, and if the average ratings of a solo drama on a single channel exceed 1.5%.
Their "Tales of the Ancient Swordsman" was broadcast simultaneously on the Internet and TV stations.
Despite such fierce competition, it was still able to achieve a good first-run ratings of 1.42.
This proves the strength of this drama!
I’m sure tonight will top the single-day ratings list!
Sister Zhang then looked at everyone: "The ratings of this drama can reach 1.42, which is also the result of everyone's continuous promotion these days. I would like to thank everyone here. After the drama is over, we will organize a tour group building!"
"good!"
"Thank you, Sister Zhang!"
"Sister Zhang is awesome!"
"The ratings of "The Legend of Ancient Swordsman" are soaring!"
Before leaving get off work, Sister Zhang also asked by the way: "By the way, have the ratings of "In the Name of the People" been released?"
"No." The female subordinate replied: "But "Lurker" from the next door Lantai came out, 0.9%, which is much worse than us."
One of the male colleagues joked: "Sister Zhang, don't worry, that drama can't beat ours. How is it possible that an anti-corruption drama can surpass the big production we have been preparing for more than two years? Besides, Director Song was previously He's a movie maker, but I don't like his TV series."
At this time, someone also explained: "I heard that the reputation of his drama is very good."
"A good reputation has a hammer, just like a movie. The reputation of literary and artistic films is very strong. Some Douban scores are 8.5 points, but their box office revenue is less than a fraction of commercial films! Think about it, is this the truth? !” the male colleague said with confidence.
Sister Zhang didn't say anything, but she always felt a little panicked in her heart.
Although director Song Wen of "The Legend of the Ancient Swordsman" has always emphasized that his work is better than Song Hao's.
But she still felt that Song Hao's work "In the Name of the People" would be a dark horse.
But the specific ratings will have to wait until the official announcement.
on Weibo.
The ratings of "Lurker" and "The Ancient Swordsman" have been announced.
One is 0.9%, and the other is 1.42%.
This caused a discussion among netizens.
You know, tonight is like celebrating the New Year.
New TV series are launched one after another.
Everyone is looking forward to who will top the ratings tonight.
"Is "Lurker" only 0.9%?"
"This is too scary."
"Of course, "Tales of the Ancient Swordsman" has been in preparation for more than two years. It is a rare large-scale production."
"And it has been promoted for so long and so many popular actors have been invited to come. I think 1.42% is too low."
"It's okay. As long as it exceeds 1%, it's a good drama."
"I can guarantee that "Tales of Ancient Swordsmen" will definitely be at the top of the list!"
"Why hasn't "In the Name of the People" been released yet? I can't wait."
Everyone is confused. Why has CCTV 8, which is always punctual, not released its ratings today?
In the central office.
A staff member took the report and said to the leader again: "Team Leader Yang, this ratings report has been confirmed for the third time. There is no problem."
At this time, the deputy team leader on the side said in surprise: "Team Leader Yang, is this really the ratings of our "In the Name of the People"?"
Team Leader Yang pondered, then looked at the staff and said, "Xiao Bai, please send out this ratings now."
"good!"
Wait for the subordinate to leave.
The deputy team leader once again stepped forward and asked: "Team Leader Yang, this is an anti-corruption drama, can the ratings be like this? This is unscientific."
The deputy team leader has been in the station for so many years, which popular dramas have good ratings and which ones have bad ratings.
He can guess the title of a TV series just by looking at the introduction.
Now, "In the Name of the People" really confused him.
online.
Everyone is waiting for the ratings of "In the Name of the People" to be announced.
They all came to Song Hao's Weibo comment area.
"Director Song, can the ratings of "In the Name of the People" be released? I can't wait."
"That's right, it's a donkey or a horse coming out for a walk."
"Could it be that the ratings are too low? Don't you dare?"
"Shut up, how can the ratings be low?"
"That's right. The reputation is so good. Didn't you see that everyone praised the quality of the first two episodes?"
"But his promotion time is short. In such a short time, no matter how high the quality is and no matter how influential Director Song is, will other audiences pay attention?"
"That makes sense. Anyway, in my circle of friends, many girls are looking forward to the premiere of "The Legend of the Ancient Swordsman". Only one or two boys would like to watch "In the Name of the People"."
"I guess it's because the ratings are low, so I don't dare to release it."
Song Hao looked at these comments and felt not anxious.
Including people like Wang Chuanjun, Jin Chen and others who came to ask, he replied: "Don't worry, wait for the ratings to be announced, don't worry." 】
He wasn't worried about ratings at all.
Even if the ratings were not high on the first day, it is understandable.
After all, TV dramas need to be promoted, and the time to promote my own "In the Name of the People" was too short.
It will be broadcast immediately after production.
Therefore, the performance on the first day of broadcast was not outstanding, which is normal.
But as time goes by, more people will discover this show.
The ratings by then will definitely be higher than when it first aired.
Just when everyone was talking about swiping the screen.
CCTV announced the ratings of "In the Name of the People".
"Quick, quick, it's been announced."
"It has been announced."
"Let's go take a look."
"I bet the ratings are not high, otherwise, it would have been announced long ago."
"I also think the ratings shouldn't be too high."
Many netizens went to Yangbatao’s Weibo account.
But as soon as the data comes out.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
All dull.
CCTV 8: ["In the Name of the People" premiere ratings: 1.51%! 】
As soon as the ratings came out, everyone realized one thing.
That is, "In the Name of the People" ranked first among all ratings during the same period!
When the news came out, many people couldn't believe their eyes.
"In the Name of the People" premiered with a ratings of 1.51%?
Became the top of the ratings list of tonight's TV series? !
An anti-corruption drama actually beat the big production "The Legend of the Ancient Swordsman" which had been in preparation for two years! !
This kind of news has also given many self-media more topics and popularity.
[Song Hao’s new TV series ranks first in the ratings! ! 】
[Anti-corruption drama tops the ratings list? ! Do you believe? 】
["In the Name of the People" tops the ratings list! ! 】
[The film director switched to making TV series and accidentally took the top spot in the first-day ratings! 】
Comments from netizens came like a flood.
"I haven't watched a domestic drama in many years, but this drama is unexpectedly attractive. I couldn't put it down after watching one episode. As someone who has worked in the system for more than ten years, I would like to say that this drama is very interesting to all walks of life. The behavior, manners and way of speaking of the big bosses have been restored to over 80%. The difference is that the actors in the movie have such great figures, while real officialdom veterans don’t have such good shapes.”
"The first episode contains too much information. Although it is said to be "protracted", this is how officialdom is!"
"This anti-corruption drama is not like the previous TV dramas at all. In the past, there were just a few routines. This time it started straight away and shocked everyone present."
"It's great! I just have to do those costume dramas. Director Song, please keep moving forward! Make more of these dramas and don't let those bad dramas keep insulting our eyes."
Song Hao was happy after seeing this ratings data.
He didn't expect that despite insufficient publicity, it would take the top spot in the ratings by a narrow margin.
You must know that "Tales of Ancient Swordsmen" has been promoted for more than half a year.
Today, "In the Name of the People" directly takes the first place.
Then with the fermentation of word-of-mouth and vigorous publicity, the ratings will only continue to rise.
Just when Song Hao wanted to take a bath and sleep.
the phone is ringing.
It's a huge bureau of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
I saw him saying happily: "Xiao Song, I saw the ratings. It's amazing. Your drama directly won the first place, right?"
"Yes, Pang Ju, got the first place with a slight advantage. It was a fluke." Song Hao said with a smile.
"How can you say this is a fluke? Think about it, if the content is not good, will they be willing to read it? They will definitely not be willing to read it."
Bureau Pang immediately corrected him: "And our promotion time is not long. A large number of viewers still don't know about this TV series? Wait for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I believe the TV series's ratings will be higher. Do you believe it?"
"I believe it." Song Hao laughed: "After all, this TV series has been approved by Pang Bureau, and it will definitely not be far behind."
"that is."
Pang Ju smiled even more happily: "Okay, I'll hang up the phone first. Normally, I would have fallen asleep at this point just to wait until 12 o'clock to check the ratings. Now I am relieved. .”
"Okay, leader, you can take a rest early."
"Same for you. Although you are a young man, you still have to pay attention to your health and rest early. I heard that the director of the Civil Aviation Administration is looking for you. Let me tell you, he is very grand, so if you give him If you’re making a movie, you’ll have to build airplanes and stuff like that.”
Song Hao couldn't laugh or cry.
In fact, in his eyes, the directors of these departments are all very talkative.
Of course, the premise is to make him happy first.
Early the next morning.
The fact that "In the Name of the People" topped the ratings on the first day has spread throughout the Mango Channel.
Sister Zhang, the manager of Mango Channel, also learned the news after waking up this morning.
After she came to the TV station for this purpose, she held a meeting.
In the conference room, the male colleague who was so arrogant yesterday lowered his head in shame and did not dare to speak.
He never expected that an anti-corruption drama could surpass their big production and become the top spot in the ratings.
Sister Zhang then comforted everyone and said: "Although we did not expect that the ratings of this anti-corruption drama would be so high, it was only a little higher than our "Sword Man". I also watched it specially this morning. Indeed, he shot the beginning of the drama very well."
"However, anti-corruption dramas follow the same routines. A TV drama is not about a moment, but a duration. This is a protracted war."
"So I am thinking that we need to increase our publicity efforts. I am confident that our reputation of "The Legend of the Ancient Swordsman" will reach a higher level, and the ratings will surpass "In the Name of the People". What do you think?"
As soon as this was said, everyone else present also agreed.
"Yes, in fact, isn't the purpose of anti-corruption dramas just to keep things fresh?"
"Yes, I believe in our TV series."
"Yeah, anti-corruption dramas go back and forth like that, arrest people, release people, investigate people, it's all these." The male colleague tried his best to explain: "So we don't need to worry, don't worry."
that's all.
The party responsible for Mango Channel's "The Legend of Ancient Swordsman" immediately stepped up its publicity efforts.
Over at Lantai, the promotion of "Lurker" has also begun.
Although they don't have the confidence to catch up with the first place, they just need to maintain the ratings.
And "In the Name of the People" has been fermenting through word-of-mouth overnight.
The publicity intensity has completely increased.
In addition, the Anti-Corruption Bureau directly allocated a large amount of publicity funds to the Propaganda Section.
The Pang Bureau of the Anti-Corruption Bureau has only one request for the Propaganda Section.
He wants the entire Internet to read "In the Name of the People"! !
"Although the publicity time is short, let's buy publicity!!!"
In this way, the propaganda of the Three Kingdoms gradually took shape.
soon.
The next day at 8pm.
"In the Name of the People" begins its third episode! !
The third and fourth episodes of the three TV series were aired at the same time again.
This time.
The ratings came out quickly.
Everyone is looking forward to seeing the data immediately.
"Lurker", ratings 0.64%.
"Tales of Ancient Swordsman", the ratings were 1.02%.
"In the Name of the People", the ratings were 2.79%! !
"In the Name of the People" continues to top the list of ratings! ! !
As soon as this data came out, there was a heated discussion on the Internet!
