This is where the top executives of the TV station hold regular meetings.
Today’s regular meeting topic is mainly about the schedule of programs during the National Day. Although many people will choose to travel during the long holiday, but during this rare holiday, more people will choose to stay at home and have a good rest for a few days. In this way
Recently, the National Day holiday has also been hailed as a golden week for ratings by major TV stations, and has gradually become a "battlefield" for ratings wars among major TV stations.
Almost all first-line satellite TVs will launch National Day special programs, and each major TV station will also use purchased high-quality dramas to seize the market during the National Day Golden Week.
Originally, today's regular meeting of Jiangcheng Satellite TV's executives was to determine the program schedule during the National Day Golden Week. However, the "conflict incident" between Liu Dabin and Chen Lingyi was first brought to the table for discussion.
Since this incident occurred in Chen Lingyi's office, and Liu Dabin was an "intruder", and Duan Jun truthfully reported that Liu Dabin was suspected of causing trouble while drunk, the TV station's senior management ultimately decided to give Liu Dabin the opportunity to report criticism within the station.
He was punished and one quarter's bonus was deducted.
For Liu Dabin, such a punishment is completely insignificant. Reporting and criticizing is just a formality. Even if the station does not report the criticism, half of the TV stations will know about such a big thing in the morning. As for deducting a
Liu Dabin doesn't care about the quarterly bonus. The bonus from the TV station is not enough for him to eat a meal.
However, the only thing that made Liu Dabin feel depressed was that in this confrontation with Chen Lingyi, he was completely at a disadvantage, causing him to lose face.
"Dear leaders, Chen Tai, I did not handle things well this morning. I admit this. However, what Director Chen did was too ridiculous. He spent 2 million an episode to buy a three-no web drama. It is true that our Jiangcheng TV has money.
, but you can’t squander it like this!”
Liu Dabin said angrily, this was also his main point of attack against Chen Lingyi. After all, spending 2 million an episode to buy an "online drama" made no sense.
"Director Chen, how do you explain this?"
After Liu Dabin finished speaking, Deputy Director Xiao Ding immediately echoed the question. He is one of the small shareholders of Jiangcheng TV and the force behind Liu Dabin. Of course, he must support Liu Dabin at this time.
"This is just a regular drama purchase operation by the content department. There is nothing to explain." Chen Lingyi looked disapproving and added: "The National Day Golden Week is approaching, and the drama I purchased is very suitable for broadcasting during the Golden Week.
As the director of the content department, I still have this right."
"It's okay to buy a drama, but the premium is so high, how do you explain it?" Xiao Ding continued to ask with a cold face.
"Premium?"
Chen Lingyi snorted coldly: "Where did the words Deputy Director Xiao come from? How did you judge that I bought it at a premium? Have you watched the show? Or did you listen to the villain's words!!"
"this……"
Xiao Ding was immediately tongue-tied by Chen Lingyi's retort. He had indeed just listened to Liu Dabin's description and knew nothing about the specifics of the series. Therefore, Chen Lingyi asked him a barrage of questions at this moment, but directly stopped him.
.
"The main actors are all newcomers, the director and screenwriter are all unknowns, and the producer is a small company that has only produced a few online dramas. Is this kind of drama worth 2 million per episode? Director Chen wants this
If it’s not a premium, I’d apply to buy it.
That movie "Grave of Love" is simply discounted by 20% off." Liu Dabin had thoroughly investigated Chuangshi Entertainment and "Love Apartment" before the meeting. When he saw that Xiao Ding couldn't resist, he jumped out immediately.
He retorted coldly.
Chen Lingyi was not at all panicked, and said calmly: "It's true that the lead actor in "Love Apartment" is a newcomer, but there are guest appearances by two great divas, Li Ziwei and Wang Min. As we all know, these two are rare
Appearing in TV dramas is very good in itself
In addition, the theme song of "iPartment" "My Future Tense" has become popular on the Internet. The singer is the original singer of "Health Song", the new idol singer Li Duo. In addition, the songwriter of "My Future Tense" is also
Yun Yan is now a hit in the music scene!"
"Also, the screenwriter of this drama is not an unknown person as Deputy Director Liu said. The screenwriter is the famous domestic writer Hu Zuozuo. His works have just been included in textbooks. In addition, there is another person on the Internet.
Another name everyone knows: Leader!"
"Deputy Director Liu, please do your homework when you are looking for trouble in the future!"
Even though Chen Lingyi's words are exaggerated, they are still tenable and well-founded. The screenwriter plays a vital role in the quality of a drama, so the fact that the screenwriter is Hu Zuozuo is indeed a plus.
, after all, Hu Zuozuo was very popular during this period.
In fact, Chen Lingyi only found out that the screenwriter of "Love Apartment" is Hu Zuozuo when he signed the contract this morning. Because the sample film does not have a title, there is no relevant information about the series, but it is clearly marked in the contract. Hu Zuozuo
Although he is a children's author, he has been in the limelight recently, so he is quite good at it.
"How good can a TV series with a children's writer as screenwriter be?" Liu Dabin looked disdainful and snorted: "Besides, even with such a configuration, it's not worth 2 million episodes. At this price, you can definitely buy a TV series.
This is a drama series with B-list stars taking the lead."
"I disagree with Deputy Director Liu's point of view. The quality of a drama does not depend on how many stars there are in it. Are there not many dramas that attract big names and get poor ratings? I am interested in "Love Apartment".
Because of its quality and uniqueness, and its relaxed and humorous style, it is also very suitable for broadcast during the National Day holiday!" Chen Lingyi immediately counterattacked.
"I understand what Director Chen means. In the final analysis, you are personally very optimistic about the "Love Apartment", right?" At this time, Xiao Ding spoke again.
"You can understand it this way." Chen Lingyi nodded.
Hearing this, Xiao Ding smiled softly: "That's easy to handle. Since Director Chen is so optimistic about the "Love Apartment", it's a mule or a horse. Let's just lead it out and run around!"
"However, it is unrealistic for a drama without celebrity support to be broadcast during the prime time period during Golden Week. Moreover, the prime time drama series has been determined long ago and the promotion has begun. I suggest that "Love Apartment"
If "Love Apartment" is as good as Director Chen said, the ratings will naturally not be bad!"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ding looked at Hong Zhentao, director of the "Program Editorial Department" in charge of program scheduling: "Director Hong, is the midnight slot during the National Day Golden Week still open?"
"It's indeed still vacant." Hong Zhentao nodded.
"Director Chen, is my suggestion acceptable?" After receiving a positive answer, Xiao Ding looked at Chen Lingyi again. The midnight slot was the time period with the lowest ratings. Naturally, he put "Love Apartment" in the midnight slot to make it more popular.
It fends for itself.
However, Chen Lingyi smiled coldly and did not refuse: "No problem, let's go to the midnight stall!"
In fact, Chen Lingyi has long known that "Love Apartment" has no chance of being on prime time. As Xiao Ding said, it is really unrealistic for a drama with a brand new person to be on prime time during the Golden Week. Therefore, it can be
In fact, the only time slots left for Chen Lingyi to choose are morning slot, afternoon slot and midnight slot.
The morning slot during Golden Week is actually not that good because most people are sleeping in. However, during the afternoon slot during Golden Week, major first-tier satellite TV stations usually arrange rebroadcasts of highly rated variety shows, so the competition is very high. However, the midnight slot has little competition, and
, as Xiao Ding said, young people now sleep late, so "Love Apartment" may not be really cool if it is placed in the midnight slot.
