Pujiang TV Station, Children’s Channel, Director’s Office.
The secretary knocked on the door and came in and said: "Mr. Wang, people from Fangfang Entertainment have been waiting outside for half an hour..."
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Wang Zhen.
"Didn't I tell you that I won't see you today?! Can't you understand what I'm saying or something? Why do you come to ask me all the time?"
The secretary quickly apologized, said sorry, closed the door, and left in despair.
In the waiting room, there were two men and one woman, the man was a young man and the other was middle-aged, both wearing suits. The woman was younger, slender, and very tall, over 170cm. Her hair was dyed a light burgundy red and slightly permed.
Judging from her attire, she is a very fashionable woman.
The three of them had been waiting for a while, feeling a little restless. Suddenly, Secretary Wang opened the door and walked in. The young man couldn't wait to ask: "Secretary Wang, can Mr. Wang see us?"
Secretary Wang looked unhappy and said, "You guys should go back."
"Ah? What's wrong? Still don't want to see me?"
"Mr. Wang is in a bad mood today. Stop looking for me and come back tomorrow."
"But……"
The middle-aged man was more perceptive. Seeing Secretary Wang's face, he could guess that he was probably being scolded. He interrupted: "Okay, thank you, Secretary Wang. Then we'll come back at 9 o'clock tomorrow."
Secretary Wang's face improved slightly, he nodded and said, "Let's go slowly."
If they hadn't relied on his friend's relationship, he would not have been willing to help like this. Today, Mr. Wang did say he would not see her at the beginning, but he still kept people here and helped him as much as he wanted, waiting for Mr. Wang to be free.
He took advantage of every opportunity, but he didn't know that Mr. Wang was in a bad mood today. God's calculations were not as good as those of others, so he was also scolded by Mr. Wang.
As for why Mr. Wang was in such a bad mood, he could guess a little bit.
The cartoon "Unlucky Bear" promoted by Mr. Wang was broadcast on the TV station, but the ratings were dismal and she faced tremendous pressure.
As soon as Secretary Wang sent people away, the door of Mr. Wang's office opened. Mr. Wang came out, saw him, and asked, "Is the conference room at No. 3?"
Secretary Wang said quickly: "Yes, in conference room 3, the meeting starts at 10 o'clock, which is still a quarter of an hour from now."
Wang Zhen didn't say anything and walked into the conference room. Two people were already sitting inside. They stood up and greeted Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen nodded, said nothing, sat alone in the main seat, took out her cell phone and fiddled with it.
Secretary Wang made her a cup of tea, put it aside, stood quietly outside the conference room, and quietly sent messages to the participants, asking them to come to the conference room as soon as possible.
In the conference room, the two staff members who were chatting stopped talking. Director Wang sat on top and said nothing, which put a lot of pressure on them and made their hearts heavy. Moreover, they knew that the project was being compromised.
The people from the TV station haven't arrived yet, but the people from the studio have already arrived en masse.
The person taking the lead is still Li Liang, the director of "Unlucky Bear", and the screenwriter Xu Jian is also there, as well as Jiang Rong.
Wang Zhen's eyes swept across them and finally landed somewhere in the crowd. Her eyes lit up and she finally spoke: "Zhang Tan?"
Zhang Tan volunteered to come this time. "Unlucky Bear" had a bad start, so he was equally anxious.
When people in the conference room heard this, they all looked at Zhang Tan.
Director Wang still looks at him differently, but not everyone is kind-hearted, and some people think maliciously that Zhang Tan is the culprit for Director Wang's such a big mistake!
Zhang Tan stepped forward to talk to Wang Zhen. Jiang Rong pricked up her ears, but still couldn't hear what was being said.
After a while, everyone arrived and the meeting began.
Wang Zhen said to Zhang Tan: "You can sit here."
Someone next to me immediately moved out of the way.
"Tell me, how is the situation now?" Wang Zhen asked.
A middle-aged man sitting on her right said: "Since last week, "Unlucky Bear" has aired 4 episodes, and the current average ratings are...0.3."
He paused for a moment, unable to speak.
Wang Zhen asked: "Where is the ranking?"
"At the same time, the last one."
Wang Zhen nodded, with a cold look on her face. She glanced around and said in a cold voice: "Analyze the reasons."
"Unlucky Bear" was placed in the prime time period of Pujiang TV Children's Channel from 19:20 to 19:30, but the ratings were so dismal, only 0.3.
She is solely responsible for this project. It is a Taiwan celebration project for the TV station. She does not want to be successful, but at least it must be satisfactory. Now that she has been ranked last, her face has fallen to the ground and is shapeless.
Feeling her anger, no one in the conference room dared to say a word.
Wang Zhen said angrily: "Liu Qi! You come first."
Liu Qi is the marketing director of the children's channel.
Liu Qi was named and had to say something.
"I think there are two reasons. On the one hand, only 4 episodes have been aired now, which cannot explain everything. After all, one episode of "Unlucky Bear" is only 5 minutes, and the two episodes are only 10 minutes together. It is not long enough. If you don't pay attention, you will be confused.
I ignored... The second aspect is that our animation is very different from the cartoons of the same period. It will take time for the market to accept it. Animations of the same period have two major characteristics. One is that they are all sequels and have an original fan base.
It’s very powerful. Secondly, the content is more about fantasy adventures and passionate battles, which is very different from our style..."
His analysis was relatively comprehensive. After him, TV station people basically analyzed within his scope.
When it was the turn of the people at the studio, everyone's analytical views changed. The people at the studio mainly analyzed the content and characteristics of the cartoon itself.
After Wang Zhen listened, she couldn't help but interjected: "So according to your opinion, "Unlucky Bear" has no hope of increasing the ratings in the short term? Can we only wait for word-of-mouth to slowly ferment?"
Liu Qi said: "This is the only way now."
Wang Zhen threw her cell phone on the conference table, made a snapping sound, and said: "I'm afraid the TV station has already been canceled before it can ferment. Let alone ferment slowly, we will still be at the bottom next week, and we won't be able to explain to the station. It's embarrassing.
What?"
In one sentence, everyone was put to shame.
Li Liang and Xu Jian even turned red, which was really embarrassing.
Wang Zhen glanced at the audience and said: "The ratings are not good and everyone is dejected. Although I can understand it, this is not what I want to see. What I want to see is that you can be unconvinced and dare to tell me, Director
The ratings will definitely increase next week, or tell me you have some way to be confident! After all, I’m not here to hold a memorial service?!”
Liu Qi said: "Mr. Wang, don't worry. It's not that bad yet. We have made a plan. Take a look."
He handed a stack of printing paper to Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen flipped through it twice, threw it on the table, and said, "This plan can be used on any animation. Is it effective?"
Liu Qi: "Our plan is..."
He spoke for two minutes. Wang Zhen found that the content was exactly the same as in the plan, and immediately interrupted: "Stop talking, it's a waste of time, let Zhang Tan talk. Zhang Tan, although you have no longer been responsible for this project, but
We had an agreement at the beginning that we would never leave our post. You can't let go of "Unlucky Bear" and you can't let it go. If something happens, you must be on call. Now, when it comes to life and death, our Minister Liu actually said that it's not up to that.
It’s obvious that he can’t count on it. What about you? If you have anything to say, we’ll listen to you.”
Everyone in the conference room raised their heads and looked at Zhang Tan, who was sitting on Wang Zhen's left side.
Zhang Tan met everyone's gaze and said, "Then let me make three points."
