Chapter 216

Li Chi is just a small variety show director at Xiangnan Satellite TV. He is under the name of Xiangjiang Satellite TV. He has worked at Xiangnan Satellite TV all year round. He has almost no reputation in the industry and no one knows about him.

Because the programs he participated in were all small productions that were short-lived and had little ratings or popularity. In addition, he was just a behind-the-scenes person, so no one knew that he was normal. He had long been used to such salty behavior.

Fish life.

but……

When he received the notice that Wang Cheng would come to participate in the recording of his program tomorrow, Li Chi was a little confused.

A deputy director on the phone congratulated: "Lao Li, I finally got a chance for you this time! Although Wang Cheng has had a lot of negative news recently, he is definitely still the most popular. We hope that his program will receive more ratings this time."

Isn’t it difficult to get ratings above two? Lao Zhang said that as long as there is Wang Cheng’s program, the ratings are guaranteed to be four points. We just hope you can get above two.”

Li Chi was still a little confused: "Director, Wang Cheng really wants to come to my show? Does the program team have enough funds to invite him? This year we only have more than two million yuan left in production fees!"

The deputy director said with certainty: "Don't worry about the money. I will help you with it. You just need to record this program."

Li Chi was gradually surprised. He finally collaborated with a super celebrity. This was something he had never dared to think of before. This program has been on the air for two years, and it is the largest program he has ever collaborated with.

The star artist of the brand is still a second-tier star from Shonan, and his popularity is very average. The ratings of that episode were only about 0.5, but that was already the peak.

However, he still said with some worry: "Director, should we move the broadcast time of our program?"

Midnight stall...

How did he achieve a ratings of more than 2 points?

It only airs at 10:30 in the evening and continues to air until 12 o'clock in the morning. How can others have time to watch TV during this time period?

The highest midnight ratings record for all TV stations across the country is only around 1 point. It was a variety show on Hunan Satellite TV a few years ago. It only soared a bit in one episode, and then quickly dropped to around 0.3, and then nothing.

How long has it been since it was discontinued...

The normal midnight ratings are around 0.4 and 0.3, and the lower ones are 0.2 and 0.1.

Neither the TV stations nor the investors have much hope for midnight programs. Such programs are only used to make up for the duration. As long as the production is a little passable, the ratings don’t look too bad!

Ratings above 2.0?

For more than ten years, no TV station has done this...

I won’t talk about the golden age of television more than ten or twenty years ago, as it has no reference significance to the present.

The station director said earnestly: "Lao Li, the competition in our station is so fierce, where do you think your broadcast time can be moved?"

Li Chi fell silent.

Xiangnan Satellite TV is still the No. 1 brother of local commercial TV stations. Although Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV are chasing closely behind, and the gap is very small, it is still the No. 1 brother, with many programs under its banner and many programs in the planning process.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for him to get a good time slot for a midnight program at 02:00.

Li Chi was silent for two seconds and complained: "But, station director, our station's flagship program only has a little over a ratings rating during the weekend prime time!"

Station Director: "But, Lao Li, this time we have invited Wang Cheng for you. Tomorrow's Idol will be broadcast live at 5 pm, and the time period is not as good as 10:30 pm. Everyone can achieve the mythical ratings of more than 5 pm!"

You can’t do both?”

At this time, Li Chi had nothing to say.

After all, the live broadcast time period at five o'clock in the afternoon is really hell, it is only a little better than the time period in the morning, and it is indeed not as good as the time period after ten o'clock in the evening.

After all, although it's embarrassing to go past ten o'clock in the evening, it's still evening time when everyone gets off work and school.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone is in class or at work, so there is no time to watch TV!

People can achieve mythical ratings of over 5pm even if they start broadcasting at 5pm, but you can’t?

However, Li Chi always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he said: "Director, I want the midnight slot next weekend, is that okay?"

Country Life is broadcast at midnight on Wednesdays. There is really no one at this time, which is why this program has not been stopped yet, because no one really wants to compete in this time slot.

It would definitely be better to have a midnight slot on weekends. With Wang Cheng's popularity, the ratings would definitely increase. He still didn't dare to think about it. If it could go beyond one point, it would not lose to the flagship program of Hunan Satellite TV.

enough.

However, the station director refused: "Lao Li, it's too hasty now! It's difficult to adjust the time. If you want to adjust the time, it will be at least the weekend in half a month. Do you think you can wait?"

Of course not...

Li Chi shook his head: "By then, Wang Cheng will have passed the peak of his popularity."

He also knows that Wang Cheng has just left the Tomorrow Idol stage for about a week, and the popularity he accumulated before is still at its explosive and peak stage, but it may not be the same in half a month.

have no choice!

Li Chi: "Okay, station director, what other support does the station have?"

Director: "The support from the station is that you can use this issue of Wang Cheng as much as you want, and there is no upper limit on the funds! However, everything is done according to Wang Cheng's wishes, and we must not make him angry or dissatisfied. We also hope that

I will continue to cooperate with him in the future..."

Li Chi was speechless: "So, I'm just a trailblazer?"

Director: "Don't think too much, work hard!"

After saying that, the station manager hung up the phone.

Li Chi was still dumbfounded and speechless for a while while looking at the phone. He still felt a little like a dream. This was a treatment he had never dared to dream of before.

Super giant stars join in, and there is no upper limit on production funds...

Who would dare to think of such a good thing?

Buzz buzz...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Suddenly, the phone rang, and he woke up suddenly.

When Li Chi saw a string of unfamiliar numbers, he didn't dare to neglect them. After all, he was just a transparent little variety show director, and he had never dared to offend anyone.

I quickly connected the phone, and a capable female voice came from the other side: "Is this Mr. Li Chi, the director of Country Life at Xiangnan Satellite TV?"

Li Chi immediately replied: "Yes, yes, I am, who are you?"

The female voice opposite immediately said: "Hahaha, hello! Director Li, I am Wen Yixiao's agent Mo Jinhua, and I want to talk to you about cooperation!"

Wen Yixiao?

Li Chi's face was full of surprise again.

Wen Yixiao came from the stage of Shonan Satellite TV, and then shined on the stage of Tomorrow's Idol, becoming the most popular young super star second only to Wang Cheng. He is all too familiar with this.

The other party's agent personally called...

He guessed something musically and immediately said with a smile: "Oh, it's Sister Mo. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Mo Jinhua: "Yes, Director Li, our family Wen Yixiao wants to participate in your show, which is the episode recorded by Wang Cheng tomorrow. What do you think?"

Mo Jinhua went straight to the topic and named the episode that Wang Cheng was recording. She wanted to record with Wang Cheng so that the other party would not miss the recording time. That would be funny. When the time came, Wen Yixiao actually ran away in anger.

Mo Jinhua may be kicked out by Yu Jinghong.

Li Chi smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Mo, we have already invited Wang Cheng. The production cost is a bit tight and we may not be able to afford a super celebrity like Wen Yixiao."

As a young director, Li Chi instinctively began to cry for poverty.

This year, there are only more than 2 million in production funds left, and three more programs will be produced in the future. Under normal circumstances, even if a big name wants to join, he cannot afford the announcement fee.

Mo Jinhua smiled and said: "Director Li, Wen Yixiao likes the format of your program very much and wants to experience it. Therefore, we can lower the advertising fee appropriately! How about eight million per issue? But I hope to announce it to the outside world.

Fifteen million……"

Li Chi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking quickly, he said: "Sister Mo, I really hope to cooperate with Wen Yixiao. However, we can only give you a maximum of five million in advertising fees!"

Mo Jinhua was silent for two seconds, and then said: "Yes, Director Li, happy cooperation!"

Li Chi's face was filled with a smile of surprise: "Happy cooperation!"

hang up the phone.

Li Chi quickly lit a cigarette and smoked it to calm down.

Wang Cheng is here!

Wen Yixiao is here too!

These are the two most important pillars of tomorrow's idols.

Is he trying to replicate the ratings miracle of Tomorrow’s Idol?

no……

Can't float.

Calm down a little.

Buzz buzz...

The phone in Li Chi's hand rang again. He picked it up and looked at it. It was still a series of unfamiliar numbers. He immediately answered the call: "Hello..."

A female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Director Li, I am Han Xiao's agent Li Jing! I want to talk to you about cooperation!"

A few minutes later.
