This star doesn’t work overtime

Li Chi looked up at the staff delivering the report with a trace of blood red eyes, and his voice was hoarse and trembling unconsciously: "This, this, data, right?"

Zhang Huizhong and Zhou Wen also looked up at the staff member at the same time.

They were all in disbelief and had the same questions in their hearts...

is this real?

The smiles on the staff's faces froze. It was obvious that they had encountered similar problems just now, and they could understand the mood of the three people in front of them!

When he first got this data, he was so frightened that he couldn't hold it firmly.

He has been working at Xiangnan Satellite TV for more than ten years. In his career, he has never seen such high data!

Immediately, the staff quickly said: "Director Li, Director Zhang, Brother Wen, this data is absolutely true. It's just because the data changes are so incredible, so the output is a little slow. I have checked it many times and it is sure to be correct. What you just passed on to us! It’s the ratings of your show, Country Life.”

"It is absolutely No. 1 in the same time period and has also set a record. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the No. 1 ratings show for the 10:30 period in the entire history of television!"

"Director Li, Director Zhang, Brother Wen, congratulations on making history..."

The staff became more and more excited as they talked, and their voices were full of pride.

The glory of Xiangnan Satellite TV is almost forgotten by people.

To rebuild the glory of Hunan Satellite TV, each of them has a responsibility...

Li Chi, Zhang Huizhong, and Zhou Wen all nodded excitedly after hearing this, and then returned their eyes to the piece of paper again.

Zhang Huizhong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't expect that the highest ratings in my life would be when I came to your program as a guest star! Who would have thought of this? Fortunately, I only took up the position of assistant director and did not compete for it. It’s all thanks to Lao Li! Otherwise, Lao Li might kill me!”

The smile on Li Chi's face became even brighter: "You also have a share of credit. It was you who made Wang Chenglai join my show. Lao Zhang, I will remember this love in my life! I have never dreamed of it before. I can't believe that I can actually produce a program with such ratings. By the way, Lao Zhang, your words have really become a theorem."

theorem?

Several people were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized!

They all remembered Zhang Huizhong's famous saying about Wang Cheng in the industry before - give him a Wang Cheng, and the lowest ratings will be above four points.

However, although he did not say the premise of this famous saying, everyone knew it.

That means that the TV station should be the main promotion, spend resources on promotion, and give a good time slot...

This is an inevitable premise.

so.

Wang Cheng came to rural life in a hurry, recording on the first day and broadcasting on the second day. There was no time for publicity and warm-up. The broadcast time was still midnight, so no one used Zhang Huizhong's famous saying in this program. , no one thought this show could reach a four-point rating.

but!

No one expected it.

Zhang Huizhong's famous saying is still valid on this midnight variety show at 10:30.

As long as it's a show on Wang Cheng, the minimum ratings will start at four points!

Zhou Wen looked at the dazzling number 4:53 at the top, thinking about the short time he had with Wang Cheng and the conversation during the recording of the program. He was filled with awe and praised: "Now, Wang Cheng will definitely be beaten by other people again." The program team is vying for it! Who wouldn’t be jealous after seeing these ratings?”

Li Chi looked at Zhang Huizhong and asked eagerly: "Director Zhang, can we still invite Wang Cheng to record the show? No matter how much money is spent, it is worth it!"

Zhang Huizhong shook his head and said in a complicated tone: "It's basically impossible. Wang Cheng and Rubik's Cube Entertainment are still in conflict. It's unclear what programs will be on and how to choose them. But what is certain is that as long as the ratings are high, None of the programs will be arranged for Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng himself doesn’t care about these and allows Rubik’s Cube Entertainment to toss. Now that rural life has suddenly become popular, Rubik’s Cube Entertainment cannot let Wang Chenglai continue..."

Previously, Wang Cheng's announcement fee for one episode was as high as 40 million. Li Chi was dizzy when he heard it. Plus the announcement fees for Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru, he felt that his program was absolutely A huge loss.

but……

See the current peak ratings of 4.53.

Then you absolutely can’t lose!

If we can continue to invite Wang Cheng for a few more episodes and the ratings can remain above four points, then no matter how much money we spend, we can make it back...

It is clearly displayed on the ratings report.

After it started broadcasting at 0.50, the ratings have been rising all the way. By the time Wang Cheng cooked and showed off his cooking skills, the ratings had already passed two o'clock. When Wang Cheng was fishing, the ratings had passed three o'clock. When the cooking skills were demonstrated again at noon the next day, the ratings were as high as 3.8!

When Wang Cheng showed his calligraphy and wrote the inscription on the humble house...

The ratings soared again, quickly passing the four o'clock threshold without any suspense, and rising to 4:53, reaching the peak tonight and the peak of the three of them in their lives.

The three of them looked at the trend of the ratings data carefully and were reluctant to put down this piece of paper. This was the pinnacle moment of their lives.

The staff has quietly left!

Li Chi, Zhang Huizhong, and Zhou Wen watched together for a while before their moods gradually calmed down.

Zhang Huizhong's eyes flickered and he said seriously: "If this program is broadcast in prime time, the ratings may exceed five!"

After hearing this, Li Chi and Zhou Wen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement at the same time...

Zhou Wen: "Yes, we broadcast it in the midnight slot, and the opening time is only 0.5, and we can go all the way to a ratings of 4.5. If it is placed in the prime time slot at 8 o'clock on the weekend, and the opening is above 2 o'clock, it will be more than five o'clock. That’s right, it’s possible to break the ratings record of Tomorrow’s Idol! What a pity…”

Li Chi shook his head: "Theoretically it is possible, but in reality there is no chance. In the contract we signed with Rubik's Cube Entertainment, it was stipulated that the broadcast time cannot be changed! So, there is no other way! We can only wait until later. I am real this time I’ve seen Wang Cheng’s power. The ratings at midnight can reach 4.5, which is incredible!”

Zhang Huizhong said firmly: "Next time, I will definitely convince the leaders of the station to invite Wang Cheng to record a program at any cost!"

At this time, Li Chi's phone rang, and it was the station director calling.

Li Chi smiled and said: "I think you don't need to persuade me, Lao Zhang. As long as you show this data to the leaders, they will find a way to invite Wang Cheng to do the show at any cost!"

Zhou Wen's phone also rang, and it was also from Director Yang, who was also asking about the ratings!

Li Chi and Zhou Wen answered the phone at the same time and reported the data!

The two station directors exclaimed on their phones at the same time: "What? Four point five? Real or fake?"

Li Chi and Zhou Wen looked at each other and could see the smile in each other's eyes, and replied at the same time: "It's true!"

The station manager said directly to Li Chi: "You and Lao Zhang will give a detailed report at the meeting tomorrow morning!"

Li Chi agreed: "Okay, Director!"

Zhou Wen also heard Director Yang say: "Wang Cheng's appeal is a bit scary. I didn't expect that young people today also like to watch such programs, like cooking, fishing, and calligraphy! I thought we were the only ones Older people like to watch this."

Zhou Wen whispered: "Director Yang, maybe they don't want to see this, but they want to see Wang Cheng do this..."

Director Yang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are right, I was confused! The format of the program is not important, what is important is who does it! You did a very, very good job this time."

Both hung up the phone.

Although it's getting late, I still don't feel sleepy...

…

And this time!

This ratings data quickly reached many interested people.

Guo Shouxin, Liu Jiahui, Wu Tong, Li Guang and others who had worked with Wang Cheng before were all shocked when they found out the ratings data!

None of them expected...

For a midnight variety show, the ratings can give Wang Cheng an incredible 4.5 points?

This simply goes against the common sense of the television industry.

Guo Shouxin directly spoke on his Weibo and said: "Wang Cheng's program has never disappointed anyone! I hope we can continue to cooperate next time."

He sincerely hopes to cooperate with Wang Cheng again.

He is confident that he will continue to raise the ratings to above five points next time and continue to create mythical ratings.

Wu Tong said on Weibo: "I'm so stupid, really!"

Wu Tong was walking back and forth at home, looking around the living room and several bedrooms. He was so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all. He kept saying, I'm so stupid, really...

He clearly had the king bomb in his hand, but he chose to dismantle the double king and beat the opponent's two threes!

Watching the live broadcast of Tomorrow's Idol at 5pm, it created a mythical ratings of more than 5pm.

Watching Country Life only invited Wang Cheng to record a program, allowing Wang Cheng to play freely, just like ordinary life, and it was able to achieve a ratings of 4.5.

Wu Tong just wanted to go back in time and punch himself: "Look at what stupid things you have done?"

In Spring and Summer, your original ratings of 3.8 were praised and envied by the industry, but now it seems so ridiculous...

The same is Wang Cheng!

The midnight slot of Xiangnan Satellite TV can go past 4:50!

…

Qin Yuhai sat in front of the computer and opened Xiangnan Satellite TV's own online video platform, which already had the online version of Country Satellite TV!

Looking at the ten-hour version, Qin Yuhai thought that he had made a mistake, or that the platform data was wrong?

He just wanted to see the scene of Wang Cheng writing the inscription on the humble house again, so he clicked on the Xiangnan Satellite TV online platform!

result……

Ten hours out of nowhere?

Qin Yuhai clicked it again, and it was still ten hours long. He knew that the program team had only been online for ten hours, and it was not a data error!

Qin Yuhai said speechlessly: "Who would watch such a long video program for ten hours?"

Then, he clicked on it, dragged the progress bar, and looked for the fragment where Wang Cheng wrote the inscription on the humble room. He searched for several minutes before finding it in more than an hour, and then he read it carefully.

He wanted to be sure...

Was this written by Wang Cheng?

And this time.

Shen Shenghui's phone rang, and he quickly answered the call: "Old Wang, is the data out? How is it?"

Over there was Lao Wang, Shen Shenghui's acquaintance at Xiangnan Satellite TV. Every time he wanted to inquire about the internal affairs of Xiangnan Satellite TV, Shen Shenghui would contact Lao Wang.

Of course, every month, Shen Shenghui would also use some money from the company's public relations expenses to buy some gifts for Lao Wang and send them to him.

Lao Wang's voice came from the phone: "Director Shen, rural life has exploded this time. Wang Cheng is really awesome!"

After hearing this, Shen Shenghui's heart beat faster, and he had a bad premonition, and asked hurriedly: "What's the ratings?"

Lao Wang didn't waste any time and answered directly: "The highest rating is 4.5, and the average rating is 2.9! It has created the highest ratings record for Hunan Satellite TV in the past ten years, and is also the second-highest program this year after Tomorrow's Idol. "

Shen Shenghui was stunned for a moment, and his mind went blank for a moment. Only the number four point five kept echoing, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

How can this be?

Midnight stall...

It won’t air until half past ten!

It was still a country show that no one had watched before, and it had never had a higher ratings before.

Why can it soar to the sky now, directly reaching 4.5?

Is Wang Cheng's appeal to the audience really so incredible?

But!

This time, Wang Cheng didn't do anything that everyone liked to see. He didn't sing, he didn't dance...

Just reading, cooking, writing...

Are these things that young people today are not interested in?

Why are so many people watching it?

For a moment, Shen Shenghui couldn't understand today's society or people's preferences at all...

The voice of Lao Wang on the phone woke up the confused Shen Shenghui: "Director Shen, I just got the news that there will be a high-level meeting in the station tomorrow to discuss this program. We may make plans to continue to cooperate with Wang Cheng next time. plan of!"

Shen Shenghui woke up quickly and said in a stiff voice: "Okay, I understand. Thank you very much, Lao Wang! I'll give you a gift at the end of the month."

Lao Wang smiled and said: "You're welcome, we are friends and we should help each other!"

Finished!

The two hung up the phone.

Shen Shenghui walked towards Qin Yuhai with a serious expression: "Mr. Qin, the ratings are out."

Qin Yuhai was still carefully watching the process of Wang Cheng writing the inscription on his humble chamber, not missing a single detail. He had already read it twice, and he was 100% sure that it was Wang Cheng himself who was writing it. There was no fraud, and he felt deeply in his heart. The desire for this calligraphy work became even stronger.

Hearing Shen Shenghui's words, Qin Yuhai knew that another accident might have happened, and asked in a deep voice: "How much? Very high?"

Shen Shenghui nodded: "It's very high. It's beyond our expectation."

Qin Yuhai looked away from the computer screen: "How much exactly?"

Shen Shenghui also answered directly: "The highest is 4.5, the average is 2.9, setting a record for the midnight time!"

hiss!

After hearing this number, Qin Yuhai froze in his chair and stared at Shen Shenghui with wide eyes: "How much? Four point five? Are you sure you read it correctly?"

This number!

Totally exceeded their highest expectations.

They had expected that an accident would happen before. Maybe Wang Cheng's ratings would be very high, but the highest expectation was around three o'clock, and it couldn't be higher!

After all, the time period is there...

Even in the golden age of the television industry more than ten years ago, the ratings record for the 10:30 period was a little over 2 points, not more than 3 points!

Therefore, they expected that no matter how evil Wang Cheng was, he would be able to reach around three o'clock, surpassing the record of two o'clock more than ten years ago, which would be incredible, right?

but……

Unexpectedly, they still underestimated Wang Cheng.

The highest ratings were as high as 4.5?

Qin Yuhai took a deep breath to calm down a little.

Shen Shenghui nodded and said affirmatively: "It has been spread, so it must be correct! I really didn't expect that Wang Cheng's rural life program could be so attractive. It may be the cooking skills and calligraphy he showed, as well as the creation of The shock caused by "Inscription on the Humble Room" attracted a large number of viewers."

"However, something like this cannot happen every day. I don't believe that he will have anything to attract the audience next time!"

After all, Qin Yuhai is a person who has seen strong winds and waves. He has quickly calmed down and accepted the fact. He stared at Shen Shenghui and said: "We can't make any more mistakes in our cooperation with Central Plains TV. If we can't make him fall from the altar, how can we make him recognize it clearly?" Reality, accept our contract extension?”

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin, I understand. There will definitely be no mistakes in cooperating with Central Plains TV. This is also the midnight slot of Central Plains TV. The popularity and attention of Central Plains TV are far lower than that of Hunan Satellite TV." , plus it’s midnight, no one pays attention to it.”

"The highest ratings of this program before were only 0.3, and the usual ratings are a little over 0.1, which is much lower than that of Country Satellite TV. If it were other TV stations, such a program would have been canceled long ago..."

Qin Yuhai's eyes flashed and he sighed: "Wang Cheng is like a mountain of gold that cannot be dug out. It would be great if he could renew his contract immediately, cooperate with the company's plan, and fully utilize his value. "

Shen Shenghui also sighed and said: "Yes, if we can perfectly develop the value of Wang Cheng, our entire company will definitely be able to quickly improve to a higher level. However, the conditions we have given to Wang Cheng are already the limit. I don't understand what he still wants." What do you want... However, Mr. Qin, I believe that if our plan continues to be implemented, we will definitely make him compromise!"

Qin Yuhai: "Okay, there is no turning back! Try your best to suppress the influence of Country TV. We will start a new program tomorrow and use Central China TV's program to suppress Wang Cheng's limelight!"

"This time, this humble inscription may have a big impact..."

Shen Shenghui: "I know, Mr. Qin!"

Shen Shenghui has already thought about contacting the public relations department tomorrow to suppress Wang Cheng's positive news.

only……

He was a lot more careful.

Thanks to Lin Mi's interview and the support of many negative public opinions, many fans of Wang Cheng announced that they had quit being fans and clamored to boycott Wang Cheng.

However, this ratings situation shows that those people are just paying lip service...

They talk about taking off fans and resisting.

But as soon as I turned around, I went to watch Wang Cheng's show.

It’s standard to say one thing and do another.

Buzz buzz...

Shen Shenghui's phone rang.

He looked at it and saw that it was from Li Guang, so he didn't answer the call. After a while, he hung up.

Then, Wu Tong's call came in, but he didn't answer it and hung up after a while.

Then, several well-known directors and producers in the television field called...

Shen Shenghui didn't answer.

He knew that these were all to contact him to invite Wang Cheng to collaborate on the show.

However, it was impossible for him to agree now, so he simply refused.

Let’s talk about it after Wang Cheng renews his contract!

However, Lin Mi also called.

Shen Shenghui thought for a while and answered Lin Mi's call.

…………

Mo Jinhua hung up the phone and said to Yu Jinghong with a shocked look on her face: "Mr. Yu, the ratings are out. The highest is 4.5, the average is 2.9, breaking the midnight record! Beyond imagination..."

Yu Jinghong's eyes widened and she opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Both were silent for a full minute.

Yu Jinghong then said: "Incredible! Can this be a record-breaking thing? Director Zhang is really right. As long as Wang Cheng is there, the ratings will be guaranteed to exceed four points. Even the midnight slot cannot stop it. Wang Cheng has The value is simply incredible.”

Mo Jinhua said in a serious tone: "This time he attracted a large number of viewers by showing off his extraordinary cooking skills and calligraphy skills. Such a program cannot be copied."

Yu Jinghong nodded: "Yes, it cannot be copied. However, Wang Cheng's reputation is back..."

Mo Jinhua was silent.

If Wang Cheng's reputation reverses and public opinion reverses, his followers will increase very quickly.

This will put huge pressure on other celebrity artists and big companies.

Yu Jinghong: "However, we Wen Yixiao should also have a lot of benefits, right?"

Mo Jinhua shook his head: "I don't know yet, there should be benefits, but maybe not too many. This rural life is almost a personal show for Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, An Keru They are all like vases, dispensable..."

Yu Jinghong: "Then let's ride the heat and increase Wen Yixiao's publicity investment tomorrow! Wen Yixiao doesn't like this, so we can just do it ourselves without her cooperation or notification!"

Mo Jinhua suddenly said: "I understand, Mr. Yu!"

The two chatted about Wen Yixiao's upcoming promotions and work schedule, and then they were still a little surprised.

The ratings for this midnight show are as high as 4.5, and its difficulty and value are no less than that of Tomorrow's Idol, which has a ratings of over 5:00 at 5 p.m.

…

That night, many people didn't sleep well.

but……

Wang Cheng still slept soundly!

At six o'clock in the morning, Wang Cheng still got up on time, washed his face a little, and drank a glass of hot water.

Wang Cheng walked out of the apartment dormitory and started running in the morning.

A new one begins.

but.

Just walked out of the door of the apartment dormitory.

Wang Cheng saw two cars parked at the door.

In front of one car stood Shen Shenghui, and in front of the other car stood Lin Mi and a cameraman with a camera.

Saw Wang Cheng coming out.

Shen Shenghui opened the car door behind him, and Qin Yuhai, who was dressed casually, walked out. Looking at the smile on Wang Cheng's face, he stretched out his hand to shake Wang Cheng's hand.

However, Wang Cheng ignored Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui, as well as Lin Mi who wanted to talk next to him, and ran out slowly with his steps.

There is nothing more important than exercising and staying healthy.

Qin Yuhai, Shen Shenghui, and Lin Mi all looked stiff and looked at each other.

If it weren't for Lin Mi beside him.

If I hadn't still been thinking about the inscription on the humble house.

Qin Yuhai turned around and left.

But……

At this time, Qin Yuhai still kept a stiff smile and followed Wang Cheng at a slow pace.

Seeing this, Lin Mi also started trotting behind...
