Since the beginning of this year, the Internet has had an increasing impact on traditional media.

None of the prime-time TV series on various TV stations has a ratings of more than 10%.

Phoenix TV is no exception. Even if Yang Ming provides creative ideas and the TV series produced by the people below is being broadcast on Phoenix TV, the highest ratings are only 7%!

Since the beginning of this year, the highest ratings of TV series on various TV stations are only about 9%, which still does not exceed 10%.

The impact of the Internet on traditional media, especially the impact of self-made online video shorts on TV stations, is increasing. Facing the wheel of history, Yang Ming cannot change anything. At best, he can only increase the ratings a little.

I remember a few years ago, when he was filming a TV series, he could easily exceed 10%, reach 15%, and finally even exceed 20%.

It has become almost impossible now.

It is estimated that as long as the current ratings can exceed 10%, it will be considered a miracle drama.

Wu Yuanzhi was also extremely anxious because of this.

In addition to TV series, the ratings of other programs have also declined, but they are still at the forefront of similar programs.

It's just that the entire market is declining.

However, she still tried every means to reduce the impact of the Internet on Phoenix TV.

In fact, compared to other TV stations, Phoenix TV is pretty good and can even be said to have an advantage.

Phoenix TV originally entered the TV station industry through Internet broadband channels, and it was the first of Phoenix TV to conduct simultaneous live broadcasts on the Internet where the station was established. Therefore, in this regard, relatively speaking, Phoenix TV has a great innate advantage.

This can be seen from the fact that many young people like to watch Phoenix TV live broadcasts on their mobile phones or computers.

In addition, because Popcorn.com and Phoenix TV are both owned by Yang Ming, the two companies are also cooperating through multiple channels, and the results are getting better and better.

Yang Ming knew Wu Yuanzhi's hard work. Hearing what she said now, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Sister Wu, please don't come over in person. Can't I come over?"

Hearing Yang Ming's agreement, Wu Yuanzhi suddenly smiled proudly. Now that Yang Ming has joined "The Same Song", its appeal is obviously different.

Of course, this show is not without other big-name celebrities, but Yang Ming's current popularity is not comparable to that of all domestic singers, not to mention internationally, even internationally.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here in Yanghua. When will you come? Do you want to rehearse in advance?" Wu Yuanzhi asked with concern.

"No need, I will prepare the song here. Anyway, I just have a microphone when singing, no need for dancing or anything!" Yang Ming thought for a while and said, the main selling point of "The Same Song" is not the big-name celebrities.

It’s not about singing and dancing, it’s about feelings!

A feeling of pride as a Chinese.

A feeling of honor that comes from the heart with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes!

This is the main selling point of "The Same Song".

Otherwise, the military would not have learned the purpose of Phoenix TV's program from somewhere, and then tried every possible means to invite the program team to make the first program in Nanhai Province!

What they value is the influence this program brings.

Every song in the program is carefully selected and sung by well-known singers to promote the pride and dignity of the Chinese nation. As a member of the Chinese community, we shoulder a lofty mission and strive to the last drop of blood for the eternal prosperity of the Chinese nation.

.

Not every song may have a main melody, but the general meaning is this.

Wu Yuanzhi suddenly thought of something and asked again: "Are you singing a new song? Or an old song? I guess many people want to hear you sing that song "Descendants of the Dragon"!"

Yang Ming agreed when he heard it, but just when he was thinking about how to choose, Wu Yuanzhi added: "It would be best if you could sing two songs."

Hearing this, he almost laughed out loud and said: "Sister Wu, you are trying to push your boundaries."

"Look at what you said, I'm not doing this just for the show. Besides, how tiring would it be for you to sing two songs?" Wu Yuanzhi said pretending to be calm.

When Yang Ming heard this, she was almost speechless by Wu Yuanzhi. She was so sharp-tongued that she was indeed a strong woman who was regarded by insiders as the queen of traditional media and television.

This style is what you need.

He hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, just two songs. Sister Wu, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first and I will go and think about what to sing new songs."

When Wu Yuanzhi heard this, he knew not to push too hard. He knew that the big boss was a busy man, so he gave some instructions before hanging up the phone.

After she took the phone away from her ear, she couldn't help but muttered: "When the next show is held in Chinatown, New York, it would be perfect if Yang Ming is there."

The shooting locations of each episode of "The Same Song" will be different. The previous episodes were mainly in places where overseas Chinese gather.

Basically, they are held in the Chinatown of the local city to find a suitable venue.

If Yang Ming really participates in the filming of the "Same Song" program in New York's Chinatown, given his appeal abroad, not to mention overseas Chinese, even those foreigners will rush over to attend this party.

On the other end of the phone.

Yang Ming put down his phone and shook his head speechlessly, but he didn't complain about anything. He was just a little bit dumbfounded by Wu Yuanzhi's character.

Fortunately, he didn't know that Wu Yuanzhi was still trying to get his attention and wanted him to participate in the recording of the New York show. If he knew this, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.

Now he is still thinking in his mind, apart from "Descendants of the Dragon", what new songs will he sing at "Same Song" this time?

After a while, he thought that it was time to sing that song in the first episode of "The Same Song" in Yanghua, Nanhai Province.

What song is more suitable than that song?

Yanjing.

You Gang's reply came quickly.

The next day, he gave Liu Xinsheng an answer and agreed to cooperate with Oriental DreamWorks in the second way, and he would set up his own studio.

Oriental DreamWorks will invest 20 million yuan and hold 40% of the shares!

At the same time, the company will also receive priority investment rights in each of You Gang's works, and Oriental DreamWorks will arrange for the distribution of all films produced by the company.

There are other conditions, which are basically the same as other star studios.

Oriental DreamWorks has already had such cooperation with many star studios, so it is no stranger to them, but there are subtle differences in the division of interests.

Director You Gang is also a veteran director in the film industry. After so many years, he also has a skilled team under him.

In fact, even if he sets up his own business and sets up his own film company, he will probably be able to attract a group of people.

But maybe because of the twists and turns in the filming of "Bitter Water", he realized that making movies is increasingly inseparable from financial investment. If he had strong financial support this time, he would not need to mortgage his family property for a loan.

Make this "Bitter Water" film.

If we could rely on a reliable backing company, the release of "Bitter Water" wouldn't be so difficult.

The ups and downs of the past few days have made Director You Gang give up many unrealistic ideas and face the increasingly cruel film industry.

He also finally said a saying that has been circulating in the film industry for a long time.

As a director, never use your own money to make a movie!

Now, the more he listened, the more it made sense, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

One piece of heaven and one piece of hell!

There are many examples in the film industry where a director's previous film was a hit at the box office, but his next film failed miserably at the box office and could not recover the cost.

Soon, You Gang signed his name on the contract given by Liu Xinsheng.

He had asked his lawyer to review the contract in detail, and there were no problems. He signed it without hesitation. This is his style of doing things, he is vigorous and resolute, and once he makes a decision, he will not be sloppy.

However, the news that You Gang's personal studio will cooperate with Oriental DreamWorks was not widely publicized.

After all, You Gang still has some issues with Victory Pictures. He will not make an official announcement until he resolves the matter, but it is just a small matter and does not hinder the cooperation between the two parties.

Mainly because he didn't want to leave Victory Pictures with the impression that it was completely ruined because of the friendship he had spent with Victory Pictures for many years.

The day after signing the contract, You Gang came to Victory Pictures to handle some matters.

He has no contract with Victory Pictures. From a legal perspective, he can only be regarded as an ordinary employee of Victory Pictures.

Today, he came to hand in his resignation letter.

When You Gang walked into the building of Victory Pictures, every employee saw him and nodded to him with a smile.

He has stayed here for so many years and still has this prestige.

If I'm not being modest, except for a few people who have faded away from the entertainment industry, no one else in this company can compare to You Gang in terms of qualifications.

You Gang first entered the film industry back then, working for Victory Pictures.

I have been here for nearly thirty years and treat Victory Pictures like home.

If He Xinghan hadn't gone too far this time, especially now that the company's top management is no longer the same people as before, it is now just a pure capital company that will only focus on whether it can bring benefits, regardless of past friendships.

Although he knew this was what every company should do, he just couldn't accept it.

In addition, those old friends in the past have gradually lost their relationship with Victory Pictures. After this incident, the last trace of friendship between him and Victory Pictures was severed because of He Xinghan.

"You Daozao."

"Congratulations to Director You for winning the Little Golden Dragon again."

"When will Director You treat us?"

.....

Every familiar employee, anyone who has a close relationship with You Gang, takes the initiative to say hello.

You Gang had a friendly smile on his face and nodded and talked to everyone.
