Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

In the early morning, in the production department of Yunteng TV station, everyone's expressions changed.

After all, Yunteng's internal competition is very fierce. In addition to producing film and television dramas, there are variety shows, adventure shows, singing shows, and even breakthrough shows. At most, but even some members who are not in charge of film and television drama production, it is inevitable that they heard all kinds of news about the soul of chess this morning.

When Cheng Lie invited Jing Yu to come to Yunteng, many people in the production department objected. After all, the cake is so big and there are not enough internal personnel. The most outrageous thing is this guy named Jing Yu, who has done more than half of the work of actors, screenwriters, and music groups by himself. What do other people think of this? A normal drama can feed a lot of people on the stage, and the number of single writers in a drama may add up to ten people. Jing Yu doesn't want other people to assist him. In the eyes of many people, this is a show of bravery, and It also offends people. Many members of the screenwriting team who are idle and have nothing to do are actually very disgusted with Jing Yu. They all think that this so-called professional Go drama will definitely be rough in completion and cannot stand the test.

Many people were actually going to watch Jing Yu and Cheng Lie joke.

However, the ratings of Chess Soul in the past two weeks are true and gave many people in Yunteng TV a strong slap in the face.

But last night, the second episode of The Soul of Chess unexpectedly had a ratings of 3.50%. To be honest, many people came to work this morning, and after seeing this report card, the posterity was dumbfounded.

Because according to Yunteng's past dramas, after the broadcast, as long as the quality of the drama does not decline, and there are no toxic plots that cause a large loss of viewers, the ratings will generally rise slowly. However, the increase is limited, generally within 0.1% per week. Even if a certain drama is really of high quality, it will not exceed the weekly increase of 0.2%.

But what about the chess spirit?

The ratings of the first and second episodes increased by an astonishing 0.72%. What the hell is this?

And the most important thing is that according to this situation, the ratings of the second episode of the game soul are very likely to squeeze into the top ten in the ratings of the second week of January.

At the meeting of the production department, everyone looked at Cheng Lie frequently.

"It is worth mentioning that the ratings of the five dramas broadcast in spring on our station are all gratifying, especially the second episode of the game, which was broadcast last night, and the average ratings are set at 3.50%. Regarding this, today I have already filed an application with Taili for an additional budget for the crew of Soul of Chess. Cheng Lie, you have to work hard, and for screenwriter Jing Yu, if he has any requirements, try to satisfy him and others, although Jing Yu is our new Taili The employee who joined is also an employee with relatively low qualifications in Taili. He is not familiar with the place in Shanghai, but he can quickly make achievements in Taili. You must work hard!" Meng Yu glanced around Everyone in the production department said in a light tone.

"Understood."

"Understood, Minister."

"We get it."

The meeting of the production department was dispersed.

Cheng Lie also excitedly rushed to the set.

"Really? 3.5%!"

Because there is no one familiar in the station, Cheng Lie had to inform Jing Yu about the ratings of Qihun.

"Why are you so calm? Are you unhappy?" Cheng Lie put his arm around Jing Yu's shoulder and said with a smile, his voice could be heard from far away.

"No, I'm actually very happy. After all, the ratings of the second episode are already 3.5%." Jing Yu smiled, and ended up drinking the drink handed over by the crew.

"However, it's too early to be happy now."

Cheng Lie looked at Jing Yu suspiciously.

"What do you mean it's too early to be happy?"

What do you mean when you are obviously a villain?

"Well, that is, the current results are not the time to be happy."

If the goal is to average over 6% ratings for the entire series, what's there to be happy about during a time when the average ratings for the episodes are only 3.5%?

Cheng Lie naturally couldn't understand Jing Yu's current mood.

But he has quietly raised his expectations for the ratings of the soul of chess from an average of 3.6% for the entire series to 3.8%.

After all, although the ratings of the second episode were 0.72% higher than that of the first episode, it certainly wouldn't be possible to have such an increase every week! Maybe the plot of the third episode next week, because Yu Liang and Jing Guang when they were children were replaced by actors in junior high school, the audience is not used to it, and it is normal for the ratings to drop slightly.

A few days passed, and the second week's episodes of the TV stations in Dazhou had finished broadcasting.

Chess Soul, in the second week's ratings ranking, ranked ninth in the spring file.

Moreover, Qihun's entry into the ninth place in the ratings list also means another thing. Among the six major TV stations, Aurora TV's spring show "How to Make Salted Fish!" Tenth, squeezed to eleventh.

Because this spring, the first week of January aired, among the top ten dramas in the ratings, there are three Xingtong, two Didu TV, two Vision TV, one each of Aurora, Squirrel, and Orange Sea. Occupied the top ten.

And Qihun ranked ninth in the ratings this week, and squeezed "How to Make Salted Fish!" out of the top ten list.

The six major TV stations have always been said to be the top three and the bottom three. Xingtong, Didu TV and Vision are as stable as old dogs. They compete with each other and each wins and loses. It has been born among the three families for fifteen consecutive years. As for Squirrel, Aurora and Orange Sea, the main dramas of the quarter are basically only in the 4th to 10th place in the ratings of the quarter, and there may occasionally be the top three hits in a certain season, which can reach the No. 1 in the ratings of the quarter. One, but nothing more.

But those who can exceed the top six are basically only the top six. It is nothing if the drama of Aurora TV is squeezed out of the top ten, as long as the dramas in front of it are all dramas of the other five TV stations, it is normal.

But among them, there happened to be the Yunteng TV drama "Soul of Chess".

Shame, face!

"How is salted fish made!" All the crew members were stunned when they heard the news. It was so sudden.

It's normal for a group of bullies to compete with each other, but suddenly one day, a scumbag was mixed into the crowd of bullies, and he was just a little better than someone in the bully group. This is an insult!

"Salted fish!" The director, screenwriter, and producer of the film crew directly issued a guarantee letter with the stage, and the ratings will definitely surpass the third week, and the glory of Aurora will be preserved!

And in the seventh place, Cheng Hai's "speed of life and death" is even more stressful.

In fact, the main dramas of the season among the six majors compete with each other, no matter whether they win or lose, the high-level executives in the station will not blame them too much, but if they are surpassed by dramas from TV stations other than the six majors... huh.

It will directly lead to the weakening of outside investors' confidence in the Big Six.

You have been surpassed by the ratings of ordinary TV stations, can you still be among the top six? Could it be that the TV station is going downhill?

On Sunday, the stock price of Aurora TV fell slightly because of this, which also made the entire Orange Sea TV nervous.

Xu Mei, head of the production department of Orange Sea who had met with Jing Yu, searched for various comments about the soul of chess on the Internet in the office, and the audience reacted.

"It shouldn't be! How did this Go drama become popular?"

Xu Mei couldn't imagine why so many viewers could follow this show even if they didn't even understand Go?
