03. How embarrassed to match the cottage horror paradise if you don't even have a variety show! (Sho
Earlier this day.
"So that's all for today. Let's see if there are any suitable contestants." At the interview location, the older man watched the last interviewee close the door and leave, and calmly spoke slowly: "But let me say a few words first.
Sentence. You are also aware of the current status of the program. Last week, our average ratings were 0.11%, which was only better than the last Bronze TV drama "Mother-in-law Becomes a Fan" with 5,000 episodes. This was during our prime time period
This is the result when there are no strong programs in the same period."
His blue eyes are a little cloudy, and his hair is dark yellow and dull. I think it used to be golden when he was young. No matter how well-maintained his face is, sagging and wrinkles will inevitably appear due to age.
"This is bad. Very bad. It means that during the period from 19:00 to 20:00, there are only 11 players for every 10,000 broadcast platforms. In other words, for every 10,000 citizens of the 14th Ring Road, there are only 11 or even fewer viewers.
.And I have reason to suspect that some of them are viewers attracted by the contestants from the previous episode, as well as viewers who were too late to change the channel."
There was a hint of sharpness in his voice.
"As you know, I'm 93, and I still have 2 years left before retirement. I want my death to look good. So." The old man leaned back and closed his eyes: "We need to change. The goal is to increase the ratings...
…play hard."
"Okay. I'm a little tired. You talk and I listen."
The other three people looked at each other. They looked at each other for a long time as if they had never seen anyone else look at them before. Finally, the middle-aged examiner spoke.
"Now that the director said so, I have some ideas. Even if you haven't watched the HYC TV station next door's Unlucky or Lucky Moments, you should have heard of this program that has always been in the top 20 ratings of the 14th Ring."
"There's nothing mysterious about the reason. The core of it is that each issue will set up a lucky or unlucky script, and then randomly choose a passerby on the street to prank it. It's harmless."
"This kind of idea captures the bad taste of today's young people very well. We can't plagiarize it, but we can use a similar method."
"Assistant director, what should we do?" asked the only young man present.
The middle-aged man glanced at the old man who was taking a nap with his eyes closed. Seeing that he did not express his opinion, he calmed down and continued: "I think we need to find some popular celebrities first. It is best for them to be in the 14th Ring Road, or
It is well known to most people in the 14th Ring, and the audience is mostly young people. Such a celebrity + link setting will increase the ratings."
"There are no famous people interviewed today." The director's assistant, the pretty middle-aged woman, quickly browsed through Vision's form in disinterest.
"Then just pass them all and we'll go and invite them."
"What about the key aspects?" A magnetic deep voice suddenly came to mind, and the three of them looked at the place where the voice came from.
The old man still closed his eyes and just tapped his knuckles on the table unconsciously.
"I will be responsible for this. I have some ideas for the time being. The general structure of the program remains unchanged. It still uses a question and answer system and a scoring system. But one thing will be changed, that is, it will be converted from recording to live broadcast. In this way, we can set each link according to the performance of the players.
Scores are scored by all viewers - for this, we can use a real-time synchronous participation system in the program, and all players watching will receive a scoring window. This can not only allow the audience to get involved, but also vote on the audience's preferences." Speaking of the rise.
, he stood up suddenly and spoke as loudly as a speech: "If we do what they choose, will they have any reason not to watch it?"
The old man opened his eyes, glanced at him sideways, whispered "You are a passionate young man," and stopped talking, seemingly acquiescing.
The young man and the middle-aged woman remained silent.
Also, based on the current ratings, broadcasting a live broadcast of someone having diarrhea and then eating and having diarrhea at the same time would have higher ratings than what it is now.
If there is no objection, then the proposal will naturally become the plan.
"Wait a minute."
The sudden deep voice surprised the assistant director, but fortunately his subsequent words let him know that the director had no objection to the proposal.
"That young man named Mu Su."
"That crazy - that weird guy?" the director's assistant frowned. She was dressed very formally and her lips were thin, making her look formal and rigid. Obviously, formality and rigidity will not be friends with casualness and spontaneity, so she
Don't like Musu.
"Since you want to change it, then go crazy. And... I like him very much." The director started talking more and complained and glanced at the woman: "Why did he stop him so quickly when he took off his pants."
The woman's face turned dark and she remained silent.
"Charlie."
The old man looked at Charlie again and asked his opinion.
"I have no objection." Assistant Director Charlie nodded in agreement.
"I'll leave the session to you. If there's no problem, let's break up." The old man stood up, took the felt hat from the back of the chair and put it on his head: "I'm going to have afternoon tea."
After the director left, the woman also left the room shortly after. Only Charlie and the director's assistant were left.
"Do you really want to invite uh... uh that person?" The young man stumbled a bit as he didn't remember Mu Su's name.
"Please, why not please? We will do what the director said." Charlie lazily leaned back into the memory foam on the back of the chair and narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked like a man who was both ambitious and capable at this time.
.
"But he doesn't even know what kind of program we are doing. If he messes up the program director..."
"He screws up, the director steps down, I get promoted, you get a raise. Win-win."
"What if the ratings don't go up but go down?"
"It's better if I get a promotion and you get a raise.ww."
"..."
——
At the same time, the 14th Ring Road is a commercial district with many high-rise buildings.
Outside the window, a Trans airship was slowly moving in the sky.
In the conference room, more than a dozen people were sitting in their respective seats, and the buzz of conversation spread.
They are waiting for the video team to send the footage.
Not long after, everyone was shocked. They had received the material that reached the horizon. Then...
"Ah what? This is..."
"Staring with dead fish eyes and expressionless, as if his face was paralyzed. He didn't even have an expression."
"I'm not saying that facial paralysis king Steve has more expressive expressions than him."
"Isn't it because he didn't notice the problem at all?"
"Let's do it again, passers-by can't do it this time."
"Yes, let's do it again."
This group of department heads complained all over the place.
So without any objection, Mu Su's debut was aborted without any knowledge of it.
If Mu Su had known about it, he would probably come to the wall in the middle of the night with a piece of shit.
In short, Mu Su, who went to bed early, woke up early the next day. Without opening his eyes, he fumbled around on the bed with his hands, grabbed the mask and put it on his face.
