Chapter 247 Premiere

On the night of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, ten minutes before the premiere of "Boo Bu Jing Xin", the data monitoring room of Henan TV Station was already overcrowded.

Liu Qingshan, director of Henan TV Station, Zhang Heng, deputy director, Meng Linghui, director of the monitoring room, Chen Qingqing, director of "Stunning Heart", starring Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing all sat here.

Everyone's face was very serious, and their eyes looked at the several computers in front of them from time to time. There was no sound in the room, only the sound of the staff hitting the monitor plate.

At exactly 20:00, the theme song of "Jingxinxin" began to play.

The staff in the monitoring room stared wide-eyed, for fear that something might go wrong here. You must know that the people sitting behind them are all TV bigwigs with the power to kill and kill.

At this moment, Xiao Yunhai suddenly asked, "What is the audience rating now?"

"1.2%." The monitoring staff said loudly.

Xiao Yunhai asked, "What is the audience rating during this time period?"

The monitoring personnel did not speak, and looked at Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan frowned and said, "Tell the truth."

"0.6% for the last TV series."

Zhang Heng said: "In other words, it has doubled."

"Yes."

Xiao Yunhai nodded, feeling good about this achievement. After all, it has attracted so many people before the main drama started, which is already considered good.

Two minutes later, a surveillance officer suddenly stood up excitedly, his eyes almost popping out.

"What's the matter with you?" Meng Linghui, director of the monitoring room, said angrily.

The monitoring officer pointed to the screen and said, "Leaders, the data is rising too fast. It's only been three minutes since the plot officially started, and our ratings have already exceeded 3%. And the data is still skyrocketing. , can't stop at all."

"What? That's three percent."

Liu Qingshan, Zhang Heng and others stood up at the same time, their faces flushed.

For them who have always been at the bottom of the ratings, breaking 3% is already very good. When it was able to air last year,

No one has achieved this result yet.

But for Chen Qingqing, Xiao Yunhai and others, 3% of the ratings is not in their eyes at all.

Chen Qingqing's "Kangxi Emperor" had an audience rating of 6% at the beginning, and then it soared all the way, and the highest audience rating almost exceeded 20%.

And Xiao Yunhai's heart is too big, relying on the super high quality of "Scarlet Heart", it is his bottom line to become a legendary TV series. Failure to achieve this goal is failure. A mere 3% doesn't arouse any interest in him at all.

Zhao Wanqing followed Xiao Yunhai's lead. Xiao Yunhai didn't move, so she naturally sat there drinking tea.

In addition to being happy, Liu Qingshan saw that the three of Chen Qingqing were indifferent after hearing the 3% rating, and they didn't even lift their eyelids, but his side stood up excitedly, almost clapping their hands to celebrate. .

The comparison between the two parties made Liu Qingshan's face slightly hot as the director, and he felt a little humiliated.

He coughed twice, reminded Zhang Heng and the others who were ecstatic, and sat down quietly.

Zhang Heng and everyone couldn't see the form, so they quickly restrained their expressions and sat back to their original places.

Liu Qingshan said to the monitoring personnel: "You all report data every two minutes."

"Yes, Master."

Several people were completely relieved at this time, and they waited quietly while drinking tea.

When he had nothing to do, Xiao Yunhai took out his phone and started playing the game.

When Zhao Wanqing saw that Xiao Yunhai was still playing games at this juncture, she was suddenly speechless, and made an apologetic expression at the people who cast their eyes.

"3.7%"

"4.1%"

"4.3%"

"4.5%"

"4.7%"

In just ten minutes, the data rose to 4.7%. Liu Qingshan and the others looked at each other, their excitement was beyond words.

"Is there a classic TV series on Henan TV?"

At the same time, a thought appeared in everyone's mind.

But when they saw the nonchalant expressions of the three crew members, they couldn't act too much. They could only suppress their inner excitement and try to pretend that they didn't care.

"I rely on!"

At this moment, the monitoring staff suddenly screamed, stood up again, pointed at the screen with his right hand trembling, turned his head and shouted to everyone excitedly: "Every... leaders, after... a classic TV series was born. Over a hundred five out of five."

His gaffe once again attracted everyone's attention. The director of the monitoring room wanted to teach him a lesson, but after hearing the news, the words that were about to come out were caught in his throat. None were said.

This time, Liu Qingshan didn't care about his status anymore. He took three steps and took two steps to come to the surveillance machine. When he saw the figure of 5.25%, his wrinkled face finally showed a bright smile. The eye frame also turned red.

As the director of Henan TV Station, Liu Qingshan has had a hard time in recent years. The long-term slump in ratings made him unable to even lift his head when he went to the film and television bureau for a meeting.

Well now, my TV station has released a classic TV series, and the directors of other stations still dare to laugh at themselves secretly.

Looking at Zhang Heng with a smile on his face, Liu Qingshan nodded secretly.

At the beginning, he was on the phone and insisted on buying this TV series. Although he spent a huge price, the results were very remarkable.

At this time, Chen Qingqing, Xiao Yunhai, and Zhao Wanqing also stood up from their seats.

When he came to the surveillance machine and saw the ratings that were still slowly rising, Xiao Yunhai nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Director Liu and Deputy Director Zhang, based on the experience of the two, our ratings tonight are Can the rate exceed ten percent?"

Director Liu was stunned when he heard the words. The excitement and excitement that had just arisen disappeared in an instant, and he secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that people's goal is a legendary TV series."

Looking at the ratings curve on the computer, Director Liu thought about it seriously and said, "I can only say that this possibility is possible, but it is not large."

"As long as there is hope." Xiao Yunhai nodded and said.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon came to the scene where Zhang Xiao traveled to the last years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. The ratings fluctuated hugely in this episode, from 5.67 points to 7.69 points directly.

Until the end of the first episode of "Scarlet Heart", the highest viewership rate reached 8.84%. Although the results were good, Xiao Yunhai was still slightly disappointed.

Seeing Xiao Yunhai's appearance, Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, the audience rating of the first episode of the TV series can reach 8.84%. It's definitely a foregone conclusion. Let's not worry too much."

Chen Qingqing nodded and said with a smile: "Deputy Director Zhang is right. Hehe, I, Chen Qingqing, are lucky to be able to direct two legendary TV dramas in two years. I don't know how many directors will envy me. Speaking of which, I I would also like to thank you and Wanqing for finding me."

Zhao Wanqing hurriedly said: "Director Chen, don't say that, we should thank you. Without your super-high level of directing, our "Scarlet Heart" would not have achieved such a result."

Chen Qingqing laughed and was about to speak when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. When he opened it, it was Huang Peiqi's phone.

As soon as Chen Qingqing connected, Huang Peiqi's impatient voice came over.

"Old Chen, the first episode of "Scarlet Heart" is over, how is the ratings?"

Chen Qingqing sighed deliberately and said, "The ratings are a little bad, and it's still 1.16% worse than the legend."

Chen Qingqing's voice was very low, and Huang Peiqi seemed to have only heard the last 1.16% number vaguely.

There was silence on the phone for a while before Huang Peiqi said, "Old Chen, don't worry, maybe you can counterattack later."

Chen Qingqing held back his laughter and said, "I hope so. Lao Huang, don't be discouraged, we are only 1.16% short."

Huang Peiqi heard it clearly this time, and said, "What do you mean by that? Didn't you just say that our ratings were 1.16%?"

Chen Qingqing pretended to be puzzled and said: "No, when did I say that. What I just said is that it is 1.16% worse than the legendary TV series? Are you getting old and your ears are not good."

Having said this, Chen Qingqing couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud.

Huang Peiqi didn't know that he had been slapped by this old guy, and he yelled in anger: "You disrespectful guy, I'm almost scared to death by you. I was still wondering just now, like "Stepping" How can a drama like "Step Jingxin" have such a low rating, it turns out that you old guy is doing the trick."

After scolding Chen Qingqing, Huang Peiqi couldn't help but confirm again, "Are you telling the truth?"

Chen Qingqing said with a smile: "Yes, the highest viewership rate of our first episode is 8.84%. As for when we can break through 10%, then we will see the will of God."

"Hahaha." Huang Peiqi's hearty laughter sounded over the phone: "I remember that the ratings of the first episode of our "Kangxi Emperor" seem to be similar to it. We seem to have succeeded this time."

"Yes, we succeeded. Everyone's efforts were not in vain. Well, I won't tell you, the second episode is about to start, let's talk about it after the broadcast."

After Chen Qingqing finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Soon, the opening song of the second episode begins to play.

"Hey, why is the ratings only 5.8%?" Xiao Yunhai asked with a frown when he saw the data on the computer.

Zhang Heng said indifferently: "This is normal. The six-minute commercial has just been broadcast, and everyone has gone to watch other programs. They will come back later."

Sure enough, within five minutes of the start of the second episode, the ratings soared, directly exceeding 9%, and then it slowed down a little.

Seeing this momentum, Meng Linghui, director of the monitoring room, pursed his lips and said, "Director Liu and Deputy Director Zhang, do you think this second episode will break through ten points?"

Meng Linghui's words shocked Liu Qingshan and Zhang Heng. In fact, they both thought about this issue just now, but the bottom of the ratings over the years made them feel that the legendary TV series was somewhat unattainable, and some dared not expect it.

But now, when they heard Meng Linghui's words, a strong * burst out from the depths of their hearts.
