566. Never expected
There is a saying in China, "I never expected it", which describes a person who encounters something that is far beyond his expectations, and the fat Kent undoubtedly feels like this at this moment.
Just after making a bet, Fatty Kent went on a business trip to Australia. As a representative of the head office, Fatty Kent shouldered the heavy responsibility of inspection, and naturally received a "warm" welcome from the senior management of the branch.
The beach beauty bikini, this business trip is even more intoxicating than a trip. Fatty Kent even thought about whether he had applied to the head office and transferred to work in this paradise on earth. As for the bet with that damn Tim, how could the fat man who was immersed in the erotic world at this moment still care about it?
When the fat man remembered this bet, he still heard it from others.
A TV series called "The Walking Dead" has a premiere viewing population data of only 300,000. You should know that this is counted across the United States. The result is that only a small number of people is a bit too miserable.
After hearing this news, the fat man was so happy that he almost died. Tim, Tim, you have been fighting for several years, and you finally fell one day. So the fat man thought fiercely, should he make a call and hit Tim's heart in such a sarcastic tone?
Thinking of this, Fat Kent couldn't help but be happy, but because of the high international long-distance phone bill, the stingy Fat Kent was reluctant to let go, so he had to keep this matter in his heart for the time being. Waiting for the future, he would run Tim well before returning to China. It would be better to let the other party fulfill the bet and get out of here.
But what Fatty Kent never expected was that this was his last and most precious opportunity, and if he missed it, he would never be able to do so.
About half a month later, fat Kent finally completed his arduous task and returned to the embrace of the headquarters by plane.
On the plane, the fat man Kent still looked nostalgic. The Australian beauties were so enthusiastic that the fat man couldn't stand it anymore. After staying in Australia for so long, the fat man felt that his most distinctive big belly was squeezed several times by these enthusiastic beauties.
Of course, when I returned to the headquarters, Fatty once again remembered the bet between him and Tim.
"Hey. Have you heard of the drama "The Walking Dead"?" The fat man patted a accompanying staff member beside him and asked bluntly.
The man was sleeping and was woken up by the fat man like this and was very angry, but when he saw that he was his boss, he could only answer in a frustration: "Of course, it's our company's new drama."
"Is it almost over?" The fat man winked and wanted to know the answer.
With a rating of 300,000 people on the premiere, even if the TV station gives face, it is probably going to be taken down if it plays five or six episodes.
But what I never expected was that the fat man was waiting for was a different answer.
"End? How is it possible!" The staff member seemed to remember something. His eyes flashed, and his eyes looked at the fat Kent, and he was also more interesting: "The company's recent masterpiece, the second episode of the population rating is 2.6 million, and the third episode of the population rating is 4.3 million. How could such a TV series end early? I guess the senior management has already started to act and it is not enough to film seven or eight seasons..."
"Ah————!" The fat man's head was completely confused. When he grew up, his mouth kept "ahhh", but he just couldn't spit out a word.
Seeing the appearance of Fatty Kent, the staff felt even more happy. Thinking about being woken up by the fat man with impoliteness just now, the staff continued to add fuel to the fire: "This is nothing, the online data of this TV series is even more amazing. The American drama area of the Tube video website is the first in the two list of "The Walking Dead", and the click rate has exceeded 30 million with only three episodes. It is the hottest TV series in the past month, and is called the 'August Dark Horse'..."
The staff member spoke very slowly, as if he was deliberately slowing down his speech to make the fat man Kent understand.
The effect really lived up to expectations. He had even heard the sound of the fat man Kent beside him who was afraid of his teeth trembling and hitting.
I never expected it, I never expected it. I never expected it...
Five big words appeared in Fat Kent's mind at this moment. He never expected that the TV series that had been sentenced to death by him suddenly became popular, and it was so completely popular. Thinking of the bet, Fat Kent even felt a lot of ridicule suddenly coming from his ears. Those sitting around seemed to look different from before, and their eyes seemed to be ridiculed.
A day later, Fatty Kent returned to the headquarters to report, which was also the day when he left the company.
There was no need for any bet. After the Council heard that Fatty Kent had wanted to reject the TV series and starred in humiliating Ye Sumang, it immediately decided to remove Fatty Kent from his position.
When I received this news, there were rumors that Fat Kent's face was very calm and seemed to care. Some people said that the fat man's face was ferocious and seemed to have fought fiercely, but the one who talked about the most was Fat Kent's crying and tears, with regret on his face...
However, all this is no longer important. Fatty's downfall and regret are not the focus of people's concerns, and the person who is opposite to the fat man's treatment is the hottest existence in the headquarters.
Another "knowing eye" Tim was promoted to the vice president of the head office. Although his authority remains unchanged, he is still in charge of the TV series production department, but having this title means that Tim has finally entered the company's true senior leadership class.
Things are impermanent. When the first episode of "The Walking Dead" appeared, no one expected this result. It can even be said that most of people were not optimistic about Ye Sumang, thinking that this oriental person could not make a TV series that Americans would understand, but the fact is the fact. The popularity of "The Walking Dead" has been placed in front of everyone, and you cannot accept it and must accept it.
It seems to be to confirm the potential of this TV series, the ratings data of the fourth episode of "The Walking Dead" gave everyone another surprise.
The ratings of 5.95 million people have fully met the standards of popular TV series. At this moment, "The Walking Dead" is no longer a dark horse, but a real hot TV series of the season!!!
For this, a celebration banquet was even held directly on the stage. It was indeed a pity that the protagonist Ye Sumang did not resign, but the staff and actors of Ye Sumang's team were invited to the spot. The degree of attention was only a handful of NBC's years.
There is no way, who has made this TV series a favorite among TV stations?
If you know that the ratings are the ratings data, this is the most important thing for a TV station. What does a TV station rely on to make a living? It is not the audience. Because of the popularity of "The Walking Dead", the ratings of all programs of NBC TV station have increased by 0.5 to 1 percentage point in the past month. Don't underestimate this little data. For a huge TV station, this may be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue!
Ye Sumang, who brought all this, has become a popular guest in NBC's eyes and the highest-reward VIP! Tim naturally did not forget this real protagonist. Before the celebration banquet began, Tim found a free time and immediately dialed the most familiar number during this period... (To be continued...)
