Giant of the times

Since the broadcast of "Run, Brother", the number of registered users on Taobao has surged.

At noon the next day, the nationwide ratings were finally calculated.

All staff at Zhejiang Satellite TV are very nervous.

Director Liao walked out of the office holding a report.

His expression was as calm as ever, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy, angry, sad or happy.

"Director Liao, what are the ratings of "Run, Brother"?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"'Run, Brother' has a good reputation and is already popular on the Internet. I think the ratings should be quite high! Even if it is not as good as Hunan Satellite TV's 'Happy Camp', the gap will not be too big!"

"If the ratings of "Run, Brother" exceed that of "Happy Camp", do you really want to see how those people at Hunan Satellite TV can still laugh?"

"Director Liao, hurry up and say it, we are all anxious!"

Director Liao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, suppressing the excitement and joy in his heart. He was very optimistic about "Run, Brother", otherwise he would not have personally negotiated with the Chinese variety show production company and offered a large price to sell the first season of the show. Bought it, but he never expected that "Run, Brother" would be so popular, it was simply...

"Ahem!"

Director Liao coughed twice to attract everyone's attention. Then he held his head high, picked up the report, and shouted loudly: "The ratings of "Run, Brother" are 5.8%, ranking first in the country in the same period! !!”

Are we first? ? ?

Everyone was stunned. Although they all hoped that the ratings of "Run, Brother" could exceed that of "Happy Camp", they still believed that this wish was unlikely to be realized, at least it would not appear in the first episode of the program.

But I didn't expect that "Run, Brother" really surpassed "Happy Camp"!

When everyone reacted, they immediately burst into cheers, causing a sensation in the entire TV station building.

"Director Liao, what are the ratings of "Happy Camp"?" someone asked curiously.

Director Liao smiled slightly and said with a mocking tone: "Haha, the ratings of "Happy Camp" are only 4.1%, which is 1.7% different from "Run, Brother"!!!"

…

At this moment, the faces of the leaders of Hunan Satellite TV, large and small, turned pale.

"Happy Camp" was actually *****ed, and the gap was so wide. I had previously promised to laugh at the fact that "Run, Brother" would not be able to surpass "Happy Camp" in ratings, but it was slapped in the face. Come on, it’s a big loss for Hunan Satellite TV to lose face in the industry!

It's just embarrassing, the ratings are low, and advertising fees naturally plummet.

Deputy Director Xu was scolded so badly by Director Guo of Hunan Satellite TV that he was like an ostrich, not daring to raise his head and look directly into the director's angry gaze.

In fact, Deputy Director Xu felt aggrieved. He did not expect that "Run, Brother" would be so heavily promoted and all kinds of hype would be dazzling.

"Deputy Director Xu, you must find a way to recover your losses now! While "Run, Brother" is very popular, you must strike while the iron is hot and invite the regular host of "Run, Brother" to participate in "Happy Camp"!!" Guo After the station director calmed down, he analyzed in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Xu's eyes lit up. Yes, these people coming to "Happy Camp" will definitely increase the ratings!

"However, Director, "Happy Camp" and "Run, Brother" are broadcast at the same time. I'm afraid... let "Happy Camp" adjust its broadcast time, for example, postpone it for another hour, and wait for "Run, Brother" "Brothers" has finished broadcasting, shall we broadcast it again?" Deputy Director Xu asked tentatively.

"Run, Brother" was originally broadcast 20 minutes earlier than "Happy Camp". The duration of one episode is about 80 minutes, and it will be finished around 9:20 pm. It's not too late for "Happy Camp" to be broadcast at this time, and it can end before 11 o'clock in the evening. In this way, it can avoid competing with "Run, Brother", which will divert the audience and affect the ratings.

No matter who you have trouble with, you can’t have trouble with money!

Director Guo thought about it carefully and made a final decision: "Go and contact the producers of "Run, Brother" and Zhejiang Satellite TV and tell them that "Happy Camp" is willing to be postponed to 9:30 pm on Saturday night. The guests of the first episode hope that all the stars of the first episode of "Run, Brother" will participate!"

"Okay, Director Guo, I'll do it right away!!!" Deputy Director Xu nodded in relief.

Deputy Director Xu first contacted Zhejiang Satellite TV and explained what he meant. Zhejiang Satellite TV agreed without much thought. This was something that was beneficial to both parties, so they naturally agreed very much.

Immediately afterwards, Deputy Director Xu contacted Hu Yang, and Hu Yang also agreed.

After all, "Happy Camp" is a program with high ratings, which will be of great help to the promotion of "Run, Brother".

All in all, it's a happy outcome for all three parties.

On the evening of November 2, Hunan Satellite TV announced that the broadcast time of "Happy Camp" will be adjusted from 8:20 pm on Saturday to 9:30 pm on Saturday. The guests of the next episode of the program will invite all "Run, Brothers" Members participate! !

Other TV stations were just about to use "Run, Brother" to ridicule Hunan Satellite TV. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Hunan Satellite TV actually came up with a solution so cleverly, and even continued to hype itself up with the popularity of "Run, Brother".

Damn, this guy actually has this kind of operation? Where is the face? Where is the face of Hunan Satellite TV? Someone just slapped you in the face, and you fucking come together to cooperate again? This is so unprincipled! ! !

Industry insiders complained endlessly.

In fact, they are filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

On the evening of November 8th, the second episode of "Run, Brother" was broadcast, and more people watched it. At noon the next day, when the ratings came out, they once again caused a sensation in the industry, exceeding 6%. In addition, the ratings of "Happy Camp" also increased significantly, reaching 5.5%.

At this time, the most painful company is the eBay Dangdang website.

Riding on the popularity of "Run, Brother", Taobao has really become popular on the entire Chinese Internet. Just a few days before "Double 11", Taobao announced that its registered users have reached 13.4 million, which is almost twice as many as eBay and Dangdang. Multiple times, approaching eBay and catching up with Amazon.

Taobao has risen so fast, which makes eBay Dangdang so embarrassed! More importantly, the eBay Dangdang website began to lag behind, with fewer and fewer users day by day, making Sun Zhengyi, Li Guoqing and others unable to sleep or eat well.

If a celebrity is not exposed for a long time and no news comes out, he will soon be forgotten by people, and the same is true for websites. In order to maintain the popularity of the website, eBay Dangdang has to spend money on advertising.

Masayoshi Son is also determined to open up a market in China's Internet, otherwise he would have retreated long ago.
