We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

At eight o'clock in the evening, many families in Hong Kong had already turned on their televisions and selected the Commercial Television (CTV) channel.

If accurate viewership measurement devices existed in this era, people would discover that the viewership rating for "Boys and Girls, Charge Ahead!" directly approached 70% as soon as it began airing at eight o'clock.

The pitiful TVB and Rediffusion Television (RTV) had decent viewership ratings around seven o'clock, but at eight o'clock, their ratings plummeted.

"This girl who went up first is in no way inferior to the boys. I didn't expect her to complete the competition in just 1 minute and 43 seconds. Is she the first girl to win a television? I remember that in the last episode, all the girls were wiped out. The best one fell into the water by accident at the 8th stage due to lack of physical strength."

"This guy is amazing. With such a strong physique, I think he must have been a soldier or a fitness coach. He actually succeeded in reaching the top in 1 minute and 06 seconds. I'm so envious."

"There are obviously more experts tonight than last night. It's only the fifth person to appear, and three contestants have already won televisions."

"It's so easy to win a television that I also want to sign up to participate. A color television, that's enough for several months of my salary."

In every household, families watched the show with great interest while chatting.

Tonight, the viewership rating for "Boys and Girls, Charge Ahead!" was even better than last night.

… …

August 13th, Sunday.

In the morning, many citizens who liked to read newspapers discovered that the main character of many newspaper headlines was Commercial Television (CTV).

"Oriental Daily News": Turning the tide, Commercial Television (CTV) becomes the viewership champion on the night of the 11th with a national fitness sports variety show.

"Hong Kong Commercial Daily": How did a fitness sports program break through the siege?

"Chivalrous News Early Report": Exclusive news, the idea for "Boys and Girls, Charge Ahead!" comes from CTV's new boss, Mr. Su Cheng!

"Express News": A national fitness variety show causes a sharp drop in the viewership rating of TVB's popular drama "Little Li Flying Dagger: The Magic Sword and Chivalrous Feelings". What is the charm of "Boys and Girls, Charge Ahead!"?

… …

Driven by the news newspapers, more and more citizens began to discuss this program.

"I've watched this show for two nights in a row, and it's really good."

"I originally wanted to watch TVB's "Little Li Flying Dagger: The Magic Sword and Chivalrous Feelings", and I've already followed it to episode 14, but my precious son insisted on watching "Boys and Girls, Charge Ahead!". There was nothing I could do but watch it with him, but this show is indeed good."

"My grandpa also likes to watch it. He used to like watching Cantonese opera, but I didn't expect him to be interested in this kind of young people's program."

"I didn't see the first episode. I heard many colleagues talking about this show, so I was also a little curious. Last night, I didn't even watch the American drama I usually follow, and I just wanted to watch this show. I didn't expect it to be really interesting, and it made me want to sign up to participate. I come from a military background, and I believe I can win a prize."

"Is there anyone signing up together? Let's form a team."

"I also want to win a grand prize. I've decided to sign up to participate. I've long wanted to replace the black and white television at my home with a color television, but my finances don't allow it. This is a good opportunity."

"There's a chance to win a prize and also be on television. I also want to participate."

"I heard that the program is being held at the Tseung Kwan O Water Park. I plan to go there with my family today to have fun, and by the way, see if there's a chance to watch the program recording up close."

"In Tseung Kwan O? Then I'll go too. It just so happens that I have nothing to do on the weekend. The weather is too hot, and the water park is just right for escaping the heat."

"Is there still room in your car? Take me with you. I want to see beautiful women, a wet temptation. The more I think about it, the more I can't wait to go over there."

… …

Throughout Hong Kong, after only two nights of broadcasting, this program became more and more popular.

In this era lacking nightlife, watching television at night was an indispensable entertainment program for people.

Therefore, the penetration rate of watching television was very high.

This year, Hong Kong's population was around 4.66 million. It could be said that the number of people watching television every day accounted for at least 80% of the total population.

Those who had televisions at home watched at home.

Those who couldn't afford televisions went to their neighbors' houses or tuck shops to watch.

Broadcast Drive, Commercial Television (CTV) Building, conference room.

Leung Suk-yee looked at the dozen or so senior television executives below and said, "Has everyone read today's newspapers?"

"I've read them. Major media outlets have reported on our television station. This is simply giving us free advertising!" Lam Suk-wah, the data collection manager, said with a smile.

"This program can be considered to be completely popular in Hong Kong. Our CTV can also be considered to have temporarily gained a firm foothold with this program, not falling too far behind them. It's just that I don't know how long it can last," said Sek Siu-ming, the program director, laughing.

"Some companies have called, hoping to advertise on the "Boys and Girls, Charge Ahead!" program, and are inquiring about how our advertising fees are calculated. We need to discuss this," Lo Kwok-jim, the program promotion director, reported to everyone.

The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

In the conference room, everyone started chatting.

If we wait until it's completely filmed before broadcasting it, it will be at least two months later, so Lau Tin-chi proposed this.

"I agree with Assistant Lau's words. According to the analysis of the survey report, there are at least 600,000 readers of the novel "A Step into the Past" in Hong Kong. With the driving force of these readers, if "A Step into the Past" is broadcast, it will definitely become the most popular TV series in Hong Kong at present with lightning speed. At that time, it will also be able to drive other programs on our television station. In a short period of time, our CTV will be more popular," said Lam Suk-wah, the data collection manager.

"I've also thought about this issue. Although we already have the complete "A Step into the Past", and we've also completed the script for the complete version, the novel is still being serialized in the newspapers, and it will take at least three months to serialize. Before they finish serializing it, even if we can finish filming in advance, it's not suitable to broadcast "A Step into the Past" completely, otherwise it will harm the interests of the brother company," Leung Suk-yee thought for a while and said.

"I suggest that we can start broadcasting two episodes every Saturday and Sunday at seven o'clock in the evening, so that eight episodes will be broadcast in a month. By the time it's finished, it will already be five months later. As for the broadcast time of "Boys and Girls, Charge Ahead!" on weekends, it can be adjusted to twelve o'clock in the afternoon," Lau Tin-chi suggested.

"Assistant Lau is right. In addition, I'll add another suggestion. The "Boys and Girls, Charge Ahead!" that we broadcast in the evening can also be replayed at 12 noon the next day, because some people didn't watch it at night, and some people also want to watch it a second time. Currently, our television station is in the stage of reform and development, and new works are still being prepared. We can't have high-quality content all day long. Rebroadcasting is also conducive to our resource utilization and can also increase our noon viewership ratings," said Yip Kit-hing, the production director.

"Your suggestions are very good. Then next weekend, let's start broadcasting "A Step into the Past"! Production department, in the next two days, produce the promotional video for "A Step into the Past". We want to announce to the whole of Hong Kong that the "A Step into the Past" you've been waiting for is about to be broadcast!" Leung Suk-yee said with a smile.

Steady development is the most important thing. It's very unrealistic to want to completely surpass the other two television stations all at once.

Therefore, if we want to become the leading television station, we still need to take it step by step.

Amidst a discussion, the planning for Commercial Television (CTV)'s first channel for the next two to three months was finalized.
