Sun Beitao was a little lost, and the murmurs in his mouth were particularly clear in this quiet meeting.
No one dared to speak at this time because they knew that Director Sun was on the verge of an explosion.
Even this person may not be able to bear such a blow.
Obviously, one moment I was eagerly looking forward to breaking the fake record, but I didn't expect that the next moment, the ratings dropped off a cliff.
It's good if you don't faint during the ups and downs.
Sun Beitao is already over sixty years old and cannot be considered a young man. Although he has a strong psychological endurance, he has never suffered such a blow and this time he has obviously exceeded his limit.
And many creators actually have this doubt in their hearts.
It was obviously fine before, but why did the ratings plummet twice in just over ten minutes?
Ding!
Nearly ten minutes later, the tablet in Sun Beitao's hand beeped again.
But this time, both Sun Beitao himself and the main creators were afraid to look at the data, for fear that their little hearts could not bear it again and collapse.
At the same time, on the huge LCD TV screen, the ending of the second episode of Prince's Revenge finally came, which made them feel slightly relieved.
After all, no one wants to continue to suffer like this. After today's two episodes are aired, the ratings should be fixed and won't drop anymore, right?
"1.03!"
After all, it was Zhao Ke who read out the number. For some reason, everyone felt a little relieved when they heard that the ratings did not fall below 1.
Sun Beitao's face was extremely gloomy, and he felt as if he was mourning for his heir. He was still muttering "Why is this happening?"
An old man over sixty years old looked a little pitiful in such a state, but for a while, everyone didn't know how to comfort him.
Of course, most of them just don't want to get into trouble with Director Sun.
They knew exactly how bad this person's temper was when they were on the set.
If anyone says the wrong thing at this time, I am afraid he will become the target of anger in an instant.
These people present are all human beings, who would be stupid enough to take the initiative to join them?
"call……"
At this time, a sound of exhalation finally came from the top position. When everyone saw the person who made the sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
If there is anyone in this large conference room at this moment who can ignore Sun Beitao's rage, it is none other than Fang Zhengyan, the boss of Zhengying.
Previously, Fang Zhengyan had been staring at the tablet computer. He had not said a few words since the broadcast of Prince's Revenge, and it was only now that he had some reactions.
"What's the ratings?"
Especially when everyone heard this question asked casually by Fang Zhengyan, their suspicions were confirmed.
It seems that the CEO of Zhengying doesn't pay attention to the data of his own works at all.
Previously, I didn’t hear Zhao Ke’s several data broadcasts because I was immersed in certain things.
Thinking of this, everyone started to complain, secretly thinking that the boss of Zhengying was too incompetent, right?
It is obviously a hit drama of the year produced by the company, so why is it distracted by other things at such a critical moment of its premiere, and even the ratings are indifferent?
"I'm asking you, why are you standing still?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Fang Zhengyan looked around and finally stopped at Sun Beitao, or the tablet in Sun Beitao's hand, and asked again.
The second question made Sun Beitao wake up from a dream, but he kept a gloomy face and said nothing. He felt that he had no shame in telling that embarrassing number.
I am a well-known director in the Dragon Kingdom and a leading figure. I spent so much effort to produce a TV series, but the final ratings of the first broadcast were only one?
"Fang...Director Fang, by the end of the second episode, the ratings were 1.03!"
Since my boss doesn't speak, I can only let the assistant Zhao Ke do it for me.
When he said this number, even Fang Zhengyan frowned slightly.
"So low?"
However, Fang Zhengyan was more calm than Sun Beitao. Although he was a little surprised by the ratings data, he did not lose his composure like the latter. He just asked in a deep voice.
"At the end of the first episode and the beginning of the second episode, our ratings once reached 3.04, which was just a hair away from breaking the pretense of ratings record!"
Since the CEO of Zhengying had not paid attention to the ratings, Zhao Ke felt that he still needed to explain it, lest Fang Zhengyan would think that his boss's directing skills were not good enough.
"You mean, starting from the second episode, the ratings dropped off a cliff, by a full two percentage points?"
Fang Zhengyan was extremely sensitive to these data. Without waiting for Zhao Ke to explain the subsequent development, he had already guessed the process and then lowered his head in deep thought.
"Director Fang, this data is weird. Could it be that someone has a connection with Guangyu to deliberately mess with us?"
At this time, Sun Beitao finally came to his senses. Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, he would subconsciously form conspiracy theories about everything, and this kind of thing has become commonplace in the industry.
In the past few years, Zhengying has been in the limelight, and Sun Beitao is not without enemies in the industry.
It is not impossible for those guys to find connections to punish them by any means necessary.
Who told you that the eight words you produce must be high-quality movies have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
How can you let other TV series production teams and other directors survive?
As the saying goes, a person who is not envied by others is a mediocre person. With Zhengying's current reputation, I don't know how many people are jealous of him in the TV drama circle.
Of course, in the final analysis, we are just jealous of the benefits that the market brings to Zhengying.
The cake was so big, Zheng Ying took the big piece, and the others could only grab the leftovers.
It's just that Sun Beitao, who was so angry that he seemed to have forgotten that no matter how long those people stretched their hands, they probably wouldn't be able to reach a state agency like Guangzhou Entertainment.
If you want to say that the number of fans, or the number of online views, or even the number of comments are being faked, it is still possible.
But what kind of place is Guangyu? It is the place that governs the entire entertainment industry. It once severely reprimanded some people in the entertainment circle for swiping data. How could they themselves be able to fake it?
"There may not be people who are trying to mess with us, but the data from Guangzhou Entertainment cannot be false!"
Fang Zhengyan was probably the only sober person in the room. He still looked down at the tablet in his hand.
Looking at the Lang Ya Bang who had just played the ending song, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Then why do you think it is? Why did the ratings drop by two percentage points after breaking three? This has never happened before!"
Sun Beitao was still a little unconvinced. He still didn't think it was his fault. Someone must be doing something secretly.
Even if it's not Guangzhou Entertainment, it's someone else.
And today's situation is indeed too weird.
It's like the viewers who were originally watching Prince's Revenge made an appointment and turned off the TV at the same time.
You must know that according to the ratings of Broadcasting Entertainment, one percentage point is equivalent to millions or even tens of millions of people, and two percentage points is equivalent to 20 to 30 million people.
You can't say that the 20 to 30 million people who originally watched Prince's Revenge had a good time changing the channel at the same time. This is not a fantasy world.
Of course, the most important thing is that Sun Beitao doesn't think there is anything poisonous about his prince's revenge in the first two episodes.
Such a large-scale departure is very inconsistent with common sense.
“Just because it didn’t happen before, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen now!”
Fang Zhengyan raised his head, nodded lightly with his fingers on the tablet in front of him, and then said softly: "I have a reason here, that is, you may not like to hear it!"
"what reason?"
When everyone turned their attention here, Sun Beitao couldn't wait to ask. He really wanted to know the reason.
Even if he thought someone was playing tricks just now, when he calmed down now, he knew after all that the ratings of Guangyu could not be fake.
If someone could really make the ratings of Prince's Revenge drop by two percentage points in just a few dozen minutes, then this method would be really scary.
"Because of the Wolf Fang List!"
This time Fang Zhengyan did not delay, but put his fingers on the screen of the tablet.
The name that came out of his mouth caused silence in the entire large conference room.
"Hiss..."
It wasn't until a long time later that a gasp of cold air could be heard in the venue.
Some people don't even believe their ears, and just stare blankly at the top boss of Zhengying, wondering why this person said this?
"Fang...Director Fang, you mean that the viewers who just started watching Prince's Revenge switched to watching the Wolf Fang List by the second episode?"
I have to say that as an assistant to the director, Zhao Ke’s response was quite fast.
His face was filled with disbelief, but he still trembled out the information he received in his heart.
After saying this, everyone fell into silence.
No matter how much they don't believe that this is the truth, after all the impossibilities are eliminated, this is the only possibility left.
The sudden announcement of the release of The Prince's Revenge caused many TV series that were originally scheduled to be rescheduled, just to avoid a collision with the Prince's Revenge.
They all knew in their hearts that they would definitely not be able to compete with such a large-scale TV series co-produced by Zhengying and Sun Beitao for ratings, so they might as well stay away from the spotlight for the time being.
But among them is a very famous TV series, one that is broadcast online, but it is extremely determined to compete head-on with The Prince's Revenge.
That’s the Wolf Fang List!
The reason why Langya Bang is famous is not because of the drama itself, but because Shen Mu, the director of Langya Bang, is a popular figure on the Internet in recent times.
The beating case in a western restaurant three months ago and the endless glory plagiarism and defamation case a few days ago made Shen Mu very popular, and even the Wolf Fang List was well known to everyone.
But in the eyes of Sun Beitao and others, this is just a crooked way.
How can an incomplete drama produced by a small director be compared with The Revenge of the Crown Prince?
