When Qin Wu started making arrangements, Liu Peng was still working overtime at the Magic City TV Station. Tonight, "A Thousand Thousand Tribulations of Love" premiered. He did not dare to take it lightly. He stayed in the TV drama playback room and constantly communicated with the staff. He was very impressed with the response after the premiere.

Expectation and apprehension.

As the deputy director of the TV drama production center, Li Jun was also under a lot of pressure. He couldn't sit still in the office, so he came to the TV drama playback room and said, "Old Liu, is everything normal?"

"The background data monitoring shows that everything is normal, director, don't worry!"

"It's just normal, I just don't know how the ratings will be." Li Jun relaxed his tense nerves a little, "The leaders in the station attach great importance to this drama... I hope we can give a satisfactory answer."

"Although the specific ratings will not be released until tomorrow, the results should not be ugly, because there are already thousands of comments on this drama on the official website. This is unmatched by other TV dramas in the past, which shows that this drama

The attention it has received is still quite high." This phenomenon made Liu Peng feel excited.

"Oh, really? Let me see..." Li Jun walked over under Liu Peng's guidance and read the messages on the official website.

…

As the saying goes, "People feel refreshed when happy events happen", which is a perfect way to describe Director Liu Peng's current state.

He had just come out of the Golden Theater Column Group, and he made a special trip to find out the ratings of "A Thousand Thousand Tribulations" yesterday, which was the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. He was originally sitting in the office and waiting, and there would be an email later with the ratings.

The results were notified to him, but he couldn't wait. If he wasn't afraid of being gossiped about that he was overstepping his authority, Liu Peng would have stayed in the technical department directly.

With a ratings of 1.21, the trip was not in vain! Recalling the words of thanks and praise that came out of the mouth of Feng Kun, the leader of the Golden Theater column group, as if they were free, Liu Peng felt even more elated.

The peak ratings of the first series of Golden Theater were only 1.19, which was not even comparable to yesterday's 1.21. It was regarded as a failure. The plan to change the name of the TV station to get a good start was also aborted. The leaders of the station were very critical of this. As Golden

Feng Kun, the leader of the theater column group, was naturally confused at that time.

In order to make a comeback, Feng Kun applied for sky-high funding from the station, and planned to bid for the premiere rights of several promising major productions. However, the Golden Theater's position in the station was very embarrassing. Although he could not be said to be a stepmother, he was definitely not a stepmother.

However, Taili rejected the application on the grounds of "insufficient funds" and "too much risk".

After communicating with Rubik's Cube Media and the TV Drama Production Center several times, the leaders in the station believed that Liu Peng's new work "A Thousand Thousand Tribulations of Love" has a good script, sufficient funds, good director skills, and great potential. In addition, this drama

It was jointly produced by the TV station and Rubik's Cube Media, so it was considered his own child, so Deputy Director Geng directly made an internal recommendation.

Feng Kun was naturally very depressed when he learned about this, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, so Feng Kun had no choice but to accept it. However, he complained privately several times, "If the station can listen to my suggestions, I dare to issue a military order."

It just means that he wants to get rid of himself first. If the ratings of this drama are not good, it is definitely not his responsibility as the leader of the prime column team.

At the same time, it also publicly expresses distrust and doubts about "Love Has Thousands of Tribulations".

How could Liu Peng endure this?

But no matter how confident he was, he couldn't compete with Feng Kun in the ring. After all, the ratings depended on actual data, and empty talk about going shirtless would only add to the jokes. While he swallowed his frustration, he was also secretly determined to win.

"Love Has Thousands of Tribulations" was finished, so the quality requirements were kept improving. This is why Liu Peng insisted on replacing all the music parts even though he knew he didn't have enough time.

Buddhas compete for a stick of incense, and people compete for a breath of air. It's nothing more than this!

Liu Peng's strict requirements finally paid off. The ratings were 0.92 for the premiere on New Year's Eve, 1.07 on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and then 1.21 yesterday. This change in the ratings curve is not a slow climb, but a step-by-step jump every day.

It is growing rapidly, which shows that this drama has unlimited potential and a promising future.

Moreover, where is this? Only 6 episodes have been aired in these three days. The whole drama has 52 episodes. There are still many days to come!

Liu Peng certainly knows that the growth rate will slow down in the future, and the ratings curve may even fluctuate up and down due to various reasons. However, the current increase has aroused Liu Peng's unlimited expectations. Judging from the current trend

, even if the viewership growth slows down, the results will not be bad: It seems that the goal of breaking 2 that he mentioned at the press conference is not something that can’t be looked forward to?

Liu Peng decided that as long as he was in the workplace from now on, he would come over in person every day to get the ratings data sheet.

Although he also knew that when Feng Kun said nice things to make up for his laughter, he might be cursing himself in his heart, but seeing Feng Kun's change of "arrogant at first and then respectful" was so refreshing that he couldn't stop. If you can do it in the first grade of junior high school,

Don’t blame me for being fifteen. What’s wrong with colleagues in the same unit? Are we familiar with each other? Do we have a good relationship?

A good mood for the day starts with the Golden Theater Column Group!

He was thinking happily along the way, and before he knew it, Liu Peng had arrived at the door of the office of Li Jun, deputy director of the TV Drama Production Center. To calm down his agitated mood, Liu Peng knocked on the door "dong dong dong".

"Come in!" Li Jun's voice sounded.

Liu Peng pushed the door open and said hello with a smile: "Hello, leader, are you busy now?"

Li Jun responded with a smile on his face: "Oh, it's Lao Liu! You're here just in time, I was just thinking about saying I was looking for you!"

"Oh? Really? Leader, what do you want from me?"

"I can't explain a sentence or two, but it's a good thing anyway!" Li Jun pointed to the sofa next to him, "Sit down wherever you want. What's the matter with you coming over?"

Liu Peng did not sit down. Yang Yang walked to Li Jun's desk and handed over the ratings data sheet in his hand: "Yesterday's ratings came out, 1.21, haha. This is only the third day, and it has already exceeded 1.2!"

Li Jun was also very concerned about the performance of this drama. Naturally, he knew the ratings data of the previous two days. He laughed when he heard this: "Haha, really! This increase is a big step every day. If it develops according to this trend, it will be terrible."

It’s really amazing. I can finally give a satisfactory answer to the leaders above. Maybe our center has also created a hit TV series, and Lao Liu, you are indispensable!"

"You can't say that. The results belong to everyone, and they are inseparable from the overall control of your leadership!"

"Sit down, Old Liu... Come, sit down and talk, sit down and talk!" Li Jun led Liu Peng to sit down on the sofa, then turned around and poured Liu Peng a glass of water. Liu Peng took it with both hands and placed it on the coffee table.

Li Jun also sat down on the sofa next to Liu Peng, "This is a good saying, as the saying goes, 'when everyone adds firewood, the flames rise'! As for me personally, although I have done some work, I am mostly just playing the drums to serve you."

, This is just like fighting in ancient times. Without you soldiers working to the death, I, the commander-in-chief, would only have a hard time winning. Old Liu, your hard work is obvious to everyone, so you don’t need to be humble, but on the other hand,

As for the direction, I just hope you can make great progress. If I remember correctly, the editing and soundtrack work for this drama has not been completed yet? If you need me to coordinate, just tell me!"

Li Jun's words made Liu Peng curse in his heart: From the preparation to filming to post-production of this drama, Li Jun acted as the supervisor throughout the entire process. In this way, although he was delegating power,

There are no constraints on his work, but all the pressure and responsibilities have become his shoulders. Now that the peach is ripe, he, Li Jun, has taken away most of it. After the whole thing, "knowing people and assigning them well" and "not taking power"

His good reputation and final achievements are all lacking, and he has everything from face to pride.

Liu Peng felt like a mirror in his heart, but no matter how much he complained, he couldn't express it. He had to pretend to be a "good person". There was no way, who would let others be the leaders?

Liu Peng sincerely replied: "Thank you for your leadership's support. All work is currently being carried out in an orderly manner and as planned. Please rest assured that the quality of the entire drama can be maintained at a high level. I can guarantee this."

"That's good! Old Liu, I'm very confident about your work ability." Li Jun nodded in approval, "You also know that Geng Tai insisted on recommending this drama against all the opinions, so Geng Tai is very satisfied with the performance of this drama.

I am also very concerned about it. Old Liu, you have taken care of many things by yourself, so please evaluate the peak ratings of this drama so that I can make a report to Geng Tai."

On the surface Liu Peng was thinking, but in his heart he was thinking: Li Jun wanted to show off his merits in front of the leaders, but he was held back. It had only been aired for three days. Although the results were gratifying, it really needed to be done.

When doing an evaluation, three days of data are too limited, right? How is this different from making a guess? If it is not accurate enough, the result will be that the work is not serious and meticulous enough; if you shout too high, you will definitely be suspected of being too ambitious and selling melons.

; To put it mildly, who should I go to if I need support in the future?

Liu Peng was in a dilemma, and in the end he had to use the same tactics as at the press conference: "I personally think it is still possible to achieve a peak rating of 2."

Li Jun Gujing Bubo said, "Well, if it breaks 2, it will be a very good result!"

Liu Peng felt Alexander and gritted his teeth: "Leader, now this drama has shown great potential. In order to make the ratings data more secure, I hope the station can focus on more advertising resources, such as on other channels

The drama will be promoted at different times, can you please coordinate this?"

Li Jun crossed his hands and moved his thumbs around each other at high speed. He thought for a moment and replied: "Well! Although your suggestion is good, have you ever thought about it? We are the production center. If we coordinate this matter, the channel

What will the leaders think? It is very likely that our end will be 'thankless', so later I will communicate with the channel leaders and the Golden Theater column team to talk about the stakes and let them take part.

It is most appropriate to submit this application."

Liu Peng thought about it carefully: Isn't that right! The other channels' emphasis on ratings data is far greater than that of the production center. When the production center submits this application, it is really easy to be regarded as a "dog taking advantage of a mouse."

The leader has mastered this Tai Chi push-hands technique, and in the end he is in an invincible position whether he succeeds or not. There are benefits if he succeeds, and no loss if he fails.

"Leader, what you said makes sense. I'll worry about the advertising resources for you." Liu Peng was convinced by Li Jun's skill. "I came here to report on the ratings. The basic situation is what I just said.

...Remember when you came in, you said you wanted to see me for something?"

"Well, I have some good news for you, and it's related to this drama!" Li Jun smiled mysteriously.

"Oh? What's the good news?"

Li Jun revealed: "Last night, Magic Radio and Television called specifically and said that the radio and television leaders recognized our drama very much and planned to recommend our drama to the General Administration."

"This is a great thing!" Liu Peng was very excited. "After making a recommendation with the General Administration, we can look forward to the TV drama-related awards next year, and after the premiere, the second or even third round of rebroadcast rights will be available."

All can be sold at a better price!”

"So, I just emphasized to you the follow-up editing work. You also know that although we got the registration number, the film we submitted for review was a previous version. Because of this, we changed the soundtrack and re-edited it.

The quality of the new version cannot be compromised." Li Jun emphasized again.

Liu Peng nodded cautiously, "Don't worry, leader, I will control the follow-up work more strictly."

"In addition, the radio and television side specifically asked questions about the music part of the TV series, because you are handling these, so when you go back later, you can sort out all the relevant information for me, including detailed information about the author and singer, such as

Who are that Hu Xiaodong and that Xiao?"

"Oh, you're talking about Xiao Yuxuan, right?"

"Yes, even Xiao Yuxuan's information has been sorted out."

Liu Peng had some questions: "Do I still need to provide information about these people?"

Li Jun responded nonchalantly: "Anyway, this is a good thing. Since people want it, there is a reason for it. Let's just cooperate! Make the information as detailed as possible to avoid having to go back and forth for a good thing!"

"Okay, no problem!"

"Well, if you have nothing else, go ahead and get busy! I will also talk to Rubik's Cube Media later. After all, they are investors, and they must have contributed a lot in every link."

"Okay, I'll go back and sort out the materials first. If you have anything to do with the leader, you can give me any instructions at any time." After saying that, Liu Peng turned around and left Li Jun's office.

Compared to Li Jun and Liu Peng who were very happy, Huang Xin, the vice president of Rubik's Cube Media, was not in such a beautiful mood. He was sitting in the office now, as if he were sitting on wax.
Chapter completed!
