Holding the phone, Ye Sumang took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and then pressed the open button.
After a long time, Ye Sumang couldn't help but smile inexplicably.
At this time, in the headquarters of Xiangnan TV Station far away in the south, the ratings of the TV series "Struggle" were also on the desktop of the conference room, and the conference room was also full of senior leaders of the TV station.
"%, this data seems to be somewhat unworthy of Ye Sumang's name?" The silence in the conference room was suddenly broken by a slightly mocking voice.
Everyone looked up and found out that it was their own deputy director, and everyone knew it.
This deputy director failed in the fight with Ouyang Changqing, so he hated Ouyang Changqing's admiration, let alone Ye Sumang, who indirectly gave Ouyang Changqing the support. So when the data came out, he was the first to attack.
As he said, everyone's eyes were also focused on the man sitting in the main seat.
It was him who opposed the public and forced out the prime time of the weekend to Ye Sumang's TV series. It was him who suppressed all the opposition and asked the Taiwan to use the greatest resources to build momentum for the TV series "Struggle". But now looking at the results, it seems that it is not so satisfactory.
So many people are paying attention to the reaction of the headmaster, some are worried, and some are gloating.
"Why is % bad?" Soon, Ouyang Changqing's eyes moved away from the ratings report in his hand. However, the first sentence he said made everyone present stunned.
"Is the national viewership of % bad? Then I ask, the screening department, what is the highest viewership of another TV series we are currently on?"
"%, which appeared a week ago, and now it has fallen to % again." The head of the screening department replied quickly.
After hearing this, Ouyang Changqing pointed to the ratings data of the "Struggle" column on the LED screen behind him. He didn't say anything, but the sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth was undoubtedly the biggest counterattack.
Even the deputy director at the beginning was speechless.
"This is just the first episode. And this episode is an episode that has been circulating online for a week. Why do you still feel dissatisfied with it with such ratings?"
"But he is a TV series filmed by Ye Sumang after all. As a top national director, he is also known as a 'miracle'. His TV series premiered..." The deputy director wiped the cold sweat from his head and made a fuss to defend himself.
"So what about the first broadcast!?" Before the deputy director finished speaking, Ouyang Changqing strongly interrupted him: "I know that some of you have different thoughts and think that the arrangement I made is wrong, which is damaging the interests of the TV station. However, you only see the efforts of our TV station, but not our gains, and have a narrow vision. How can you achieve great things? Without further ado, please look at today's ratings before making a decision!"
After saying this, Ouyang Changqing left the conference room, but before leaving the door, he looked at the deputy director with a little meaning.
On the set of "Struggle", Wen Zhang, Ma Yili, Bai Baihe and several other actors chattered together to discuss the premiere ratings. There was an unhidden excitement between their words and eyebrows. The staff passing by were all a little listless, and some couldn't help but shake their heads with contempt when they heard the laughter of Wen Zhang and others.
"Hey? Wife, did you notice that they looked at us strangely?" After a long time, Wen Zhang also noticed something strange and couldn't help asking Ma Yili beside him.
"You found out too?" Ma Yili couldn't help but ask back when she heard Zhang's question, and looked at Bai Baihe.
"Don't look at me, I don't know what's going on." Seeing everyone turning their eyes to her, Bai Baihe waved her hand quickly. In fact, she had noticed the strangeness around her.
"What the hell is going on?" Wen Zhang was curious but caught a passing farm and asked the reason.
"The ratings are not good, and you are so happy again, it will naturally attract attention." The migrant worker threw a sarcastic sentence and left Wen Zhang still in place, while the latter opened his mouth wide, as if he heard something so unbelievable.
"The first broadcast is %. Can the ratings be bad!?" Wen Zhang suddenly shouted for a long time.
As soon as these words were said, Bai Baihe, Ma Yili and others widened their eyes. They never expected that this was the reason.
"It's really not ideal." At this moment, Yuan Hong, who had been reading the script, walked to the side of several people at some point and said softly.
"Old Yuan, I'm really not serious. What's the point? No TV series I've ever acted in before has exceeded this ratings. How can this not be called well? I've read the ratings report carefully. This ratings and market share ranks among the top ten in the country!"
Wen Zhang still couldn't believe that what he had just heard was true. Such a good result could be said to be "bad?", which seemed incredible to him.
But even though he said that, Yuan Hong on the opposite side still shook his head.
"The TV series also has different levels. You should know that this is the first work directed by Director Ye after filming a 300 million box office movie. It is another TV series. Then his debut must achieve amazing ratings to be considered successful. % looks good, but for the three words "Ye Sumang", he failed."
Yuan Hong's words surprised everyone, and before he knew it, he felt a heavy burden suddenly on his shoulders. After all, he was scared by this data.
"It is indeed a bit of a failure for the three words Ye Sumang, but for the TV series itself, I think it is very good." Just as everyone was thinking about it, a familiar voice suddenly rang in their ears.
At some point, Ye Sumang had already arrived on the set and heard their conversation.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their attention to Ye Sumang, especially the staff who heard this on the spot. They all wanted to see if Ye Sumang was saying this with great confidence, but what they saw was only Ye Sumang's calm gaze.
Just as Ye Sumang's calm eyes were, this sentence was also from his heart. He did not feel any frustration about this viewing data, but instead had even more expectations for the future prospects.
"Ahem, everyone stop the work at hand and listen to me say a few words." Ye Sumang waved his hand and signaled everyone to stop the work at hand. He stood in the center of the set and started his speech.
"I know that many people, especially my old partners who followed me, felt a sense of frustration after seeing this data. Yes, I can say without hesitation that this rating is not very good for me, but you have ignored a premise."
Speaking of this, Ye Sumang deliberately paused. As expected, everyone's attention was instantly concentrated, looking forward to what Ye Sumang said below.
"The first five episodes are the versions we have leaked. Many viewers naturally have the intention of watching them and will not watch the premiere again. We have to consider this point. Based on this premise, is % really an unacceptable data? I don't think so. After all, there are more and more TV series now, and the competition between TV stations is particularly fierce. Generally, TV series can be 1, which is a popular drama. And the ratings of % of our leaked version can be rated on the premiere. I think it is already very good."
Speaking of this, Ye Sumang smiled: "Maybe, we can look forward to the ratings tonight, and maybe we will surprise you."
With Ye Sumang's words, everyone left a suspense in their hearts.
Tonight, Xiangnan TV will no longer disturb the broadcast of "Struggle" and two episodes and two broadcasts will undoubtedly be more popular with the audience. So even though Ye Sumang's crew finished filming today's scenes early, several leading actors still put their energy into holding the computer and watching online comments.
There is no way, ratings statistics take time, and the best place to see the audience's response is undoubtedly those popular forums.
"Hey, you see that the reaction is as good as ever." Wen Zhang looked at the row of applauses and couldn't help clapping his hands happily.
Ma Yili took advantage of this time to snatch Wen Zhang's mouse and clicked a few posts she was curious about. Seeing that most of the words inside were applauded, she couldn't help but smile brightly on her face.
"There are still many viewers watching it, and have you noticed that there are a lot of people saying that they will watch it again today. There were only one or two posts yesterday, but today it accounted for a small half, especially a few popular posts, and the number of replies is also quite considerable." Yuan Hong analyzed the online discussion posts more rationally.
His words also gave the several leading actors present great expectations.
At the same time, Ye Sumang also held his tablet computer and browsed the web pages, analyzing everything, and the conclusion he came to was exactly the same as Yuan Hong.
"Sure enough, my analysis is correct. The audience will become more curious about TV series because of the public's comments." Ye Sumang smiled, walked to a corner where there was no one, took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number.
"Hurry some more naval troops and go to various portals to read posts. If we can reach hot topics, we can pay a part of the reward." After saying this, Ye Sumang hung up the phone.
Sometimes, the wine is also afraid of the deep alley. In order to avoid the losses of the first five episodes to the greatest extent, Ye Sumang then thought of this kind of publicity method of "mass power". Now it seems that he is waiting for the effect tomorrow morning to be reflected.
Whether it is good or bad is clear. Thinking of this, Ye Sumang retracted his mind and prepared to watch a TV series that will be broadcast again soon.
Early the next morning, Ye Sumang was woken up by a phone call. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was his little secretary Xia Bing.
"Mr. Ye, good news!" Xia Bing's voice was full of excitement. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
