Chapter 176: Three Kills of the Annual Rating Champion
The college entrance examination process is not very good. If she hadn't bumped into each other, Miss Zuo wouldn't even have a chance to appear.
On June 8, the college entrance examination ended, Zuo Le and Tian Yan returned to Quancheng, accompanied by Zuo Xiao.
Miss Zuo is now liberated. At least until her college entrance examination results come out, her life is the most comfortable.
Originally Zuo Xiao was clamoring to travel abroad, but Zuo Le and Tian Yan were busy with work and had no time to accompany them, and Zuo Guoqiang was too lazy to go see the foreigners.
Everyone was worried about letting Miss Zuo go abroad with a group alone. So, under Zhuang Cuicui's decision, Zuo Xiao's original luxury trip to Europe was changed to a trip to Quan City...
Miss Zuo strongly protested against this, but obviously the matter did not follow her will.
Of course, it was Zuo Le who agreed to travel abroad in the first place. It was not his style to talk without keeping his word, so he made an agreement with Zuo Xiao.
Of course, if Zuo Xiao's college entrance examination scores meet the requirements of key universities, their family will go abroad for the Chinese New Year this year, and he and Tian Yan will get married next year as originally planned, which can be regarded as an early honeymoon.
In fact, for Zuo Xiao, as long as her little wish to travel abroad can be fulfilled, it doesn't matter whether it is winter vacation or summer vacation. She will be happier if the whole family goes there.
…………
Back in Quancheng, Zuo Xiao was unwilling to follow Zuo Le, but instead was keen to be Tian Yan's follower. Zuo Le was relaxed and focused on the results of "Crossing Guandong".
The two-day college entrance examination took away most of the traffic. As long as no big political figures from some country died, it was basically all topics related to the college entrance examination.
However, although the topic traffic was taken away by the college entrance examination, it did not hinder the rising ratings of "Enter Guandong".
On June 9, less than half of the episodes of "Enter Guandong" were aired, and the average ratings of the entire series had reached 2.84.
Surpassing "Seven Swords" and breaking 3 in ratings, it's basically a sure thing.
The only doubt is whether "Enter Guandong" can break the ratings record of "Wulin Gaiden".
No one can say for sure, including Zuo Le.
From the perspective of momentum, the upward trend of "Crossing the Guandong" is not as strong as that of "Wulin Gaiden", but it is more stable and lasting, with a step-by-step rise every day. At present, it is far from a slowdown period.
However, in terms of topic discussion and popularity, "Crossing Guandong" is obviously much worse than "Wulin Gaiden", and its audience base is also slightly weaker.
Most people like comedies, but many people are rarely able to accept heavy themes of family and country.
In addition, "Wulin Gaiden" has another advantage, that is, it has a large number of episodes, a total of 80 episodes, two episodes a day, and can be broadcast for 40 days, while "Crossing Guandong" only has 52 episodes, and can only be broadcast for 26 days.
The longer the number of broadcast days, the higher the total number of viewers. It can be said that if "Wulin Gaiden" had not had many episodes, a long broadcast cycle, and continued to accumulate influence and attract new viewers over a long period of time, it might not have been able to break through the 5th mark.
Of course, a large number of episodes means that the average rating divided by it is also large, so this is both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on how you understand it.
But in any case, even if it did not break the myth of last year's "Wulin Gaiden" breaking 5, the ratings of "Guandong" are still very impressive.
As of June 10, "Enter Guandong" has the best ratings among TV series broadcast in 2020.
If there are no ratings-defying dramas in the second half of the year, with the current momentum of "Enter Guandong", it will have great hope of winning the annual ratings championship in 2020.
The year before last, in 2018, "Seven Swords" premiered, sweeping the crowd, and Zuo Le won the first ratings championship in his life.
Last year in 2019, Zuo Le once again brought "Wulin Gaiden", which became popular throughout the summer and won the annual ratings championship again.
If "Enter Guandong" once again takes the first place in the annual ratings this year, Zuo Le will complete the three consecutive annual ratings championships and become a well-deserved ratings hegemon.
When a well-known entertainment celebrity first mentioned that Zuo Le was expected to complete the triple-kill annual ratings championship, the first reaction of many people in the industry was not to marvel at Zuo Le's achievements, but to envy Dongshan TV's luck.
Dongshantai’s character is really good.
I don't know where I dug up a young assistant director, and he started filming the drama. He suddenly won three annual ratings championships for Dongshan TV. In less than five years, he produced nearly ten hit dramas that broke the 200s mark.
Nowadays, through many popular dramas such as "Family with Children 3", "Senior Crime Team 6", "The Story of the Health Team 2", plus the currently popular "Guandong".
Dongshan Satellite TV's ratings in the first half of 2020 were second only to CCTV, ranking first among domestic local channels.
As long as the ratings of variety shows and news can continue to catch up, the ratings of TV series will not be too bad in the second half of the year. Basically, it will be stable if Dongshan is promoted to a first-tier TV station by the end of the year.
You know, when Zuo Le first entered Dongshan Tai, Dongshan Tai was average in the second tier, let alone among the first tier.
After Chen Changshan became the director of the station, things got a little better, but it can only be said that the station's performance and influence were still mediocre as it worked hard to move upstream to the second tier.
It wasn't until Zuo Le came out of the blue that he single-handedly raised the ratings of Dongshan Satellite TV by a large margin, and only then did Dongshan TV achieve the glory it has today.
Of course, this would also be inseparable from the unremitting efforts of Chen Changshan and others. Without them, Zuo Le would be unable to survive alone no matter how defiant he was.
However, outsiders don't pay much attention to this.
They only saw that Dongshantai accidentally excavated Zuo Le, just like when Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang, and then they were like fish in water, complementing each other and taking off to the sky.
The rapid rise of Dongshan TV has greatly stimulated major local satellite TV stations, especially second-tier TV stations.
It turns out that everyone is at the same level. There is no reason why you, Dongshantai, can reach the front line, but we are standing still. You have Zuo Le, and we may not be able to dig out the joy in the front, the anger in the back, and the sorrow in the right.
It is said that Jinmen TV, Liaoning TV, Guangdong TV, Huiwan TV, Henan TV, Shenzhen TV and many other satellite TV stations have carried out internal reforms to varying degrees, targeting the front line.
Such a big move by the TV stations naturally alarmed the five first-tier TV stations, especially the Beijing TV station at the bottom.
Although Beijing TV is known as the first-tier TV station, it is more due to political factors. It is not as confident as the other four first-tier TV stations. In addition, it has a big brother like CCTV above its head, so its presence in the first-tier TV station is very low.
This time, first Dongshan Station came in force, and then there were a large number of second-line workers sharpening their skills, which put a lot of pressure on the top management of Jingcheng Station.
First-line TV stations are not a big deal. Five to six can support the sky. If there are more, one may have to be removed.
Compared with other first-tier TV stations, Beijing TV looks like one that has been pushed down. If the dignified Capital TV Station is pulled down from the front line, it will be a big loss.
The top management of Beijing TV Station held an emergency meeting to prepare for a big production in the second half of the year to maintain its status as a first-tier TV station.
At this time, Luo Qian, who had been silent for two years since "Lu Xiaofeng and the House of Flowers," heard the news from Jingcheng Channel and met with the leaders of Jingcheng Channel with the script he had just written.
I don’t know how he deceived him, but a few days later, Beijing TV announced the project of "New Romance of the Gods", with the screenwriter Luo Qian serving as the producer.
