Chapter 148 - Ti Slot Adjustnt
Director Zhao Peisheng was organizing materials regarding the 'Zhou Zhou Show'.
He didn't know what the Chief Director suddenly wanted these materials for either. He estimated it was because the program's journey had been too inspiring, so he wanted to study it a bit?
Regardless, what needed to be done still had to be done.
While organizing, he sighed with emotion in his heart; the 'Zhou Zhou Show' had indeed created a miracle.
A bona fide underdog counterattack storyline, played out vividly right before their eyes.
If there was anything to pity, it was probably the ti slot.
If it weren't in this ti slot, the current viewership ratings wouldn't have just stopped here.
But the programs in other ti slots were all full, and their viewership rating performances weren't bad either. He estimated they wouldn't be moved temporarily.
Director Zhao Peisheng sighed with emotion as he organized. Who would have thought that such a low-budget, small-scale production program would have such great energy.
'Born at the wrong ti' perfectly described the 'Zhou Zhou Show'.
He finished organizing the materials, took them over, and handed them to Chief Director Ma Wenlong.
Chief Director Ma was busy with other matters, so Zhao Peisheng left first.
Only when he had so free ti did Ma Wenlong open the materials Zhao Peisheng had just organized.
"Tsk, this program is truly quite interesting..." Ma Wenlong muttered softly as he looked it up and down.
It was inherently a ti slot used to test the waters. He hadn't expected it to be able to accomplish anything, and had never taken it seriously all along.
It was only when they increased promotion last ti that he officially started to take it seriously, also wanting to see what stage it could reach.
Who knew the 'Zhou Zhou Show' would soar into the sky with one leap, becoming first place in the ti slot.
What made him pay even more attention was Chen Ran. From the program's planning to its content, Chen Ran single-handedly acted as the gatekeeper. The director's role could be replaced, but it wouldn't work if they lost Chen Ran.
Ma Wenlong looked at the materials carefully. Up to now, the 'Zhou Zhou Show' was no longer so small, obscure program.
Being able to walk from such low viewership ratings to its current state made many people find it inconceivable.
Ma Wenlong pondered for a long while, nodded gently, called his assistant over, and instructed:
"Go notify everyone, we're holding an impromptu eting."
The assistant hurriedly nodded, while thinking in his heart: I wonder what happened that requires holding a eting right now.
……
It was only today that Chen Ran received a congratulatory phone call from Lin Fan.
This guy was recording 'Challenge the Microphone', the celebrity edition, yesterday.
He was a bit dizzy from being so busy. It wasn't until he went ho at night that he saw the 'Zhou Zhou Show' had surpassed all programs in the sa ti slot and taken first place.
Even though he felt that whatever results a program produced by Chen Ran achieved should be within expectations, when he saw the news, he still couldn't help but bare his teeth and suck in a breath.
He originally wanted to call Chen Ran, but considering it was too late, he changed it to calling today.
"You've made progress this ti, it's only delayed by one day." Hearing him say congratulations, Chen Ran said with a smile.
"When your results weren't good during the first episode, if I had called over to say congratulations, would that have been proper?" Lin Fan added,
"But you truly are amazing. It was one thing at the Entertainnt Channel, but now this is the satellite TV channel, and you were actually able to casually take first place in the sa ti slot. Really, I concede defeat!"
Chen Ran said in a bad mood, "No, so after our program crew worked painstakingly and strenuously for so many days and produced so many episodes, to you it just beca 'casually'?"
Lin Fan said, "I said this to highlight your amazingness!"
With Lin Fan sending a piece of flattery over without a second word, Chen Ran actually felt quite comfortable.
It had only been a few months since he left, yet Chen Ran felt Lin Fan had changed a bit; just from his speech, one could feel he was more confident than before.
Chen Ran was even thinking that if there was an opportunity, he would definitely fish Lin Fan over to help.
Right now was a pass. The 'Zhou Zhou Show' was a small program, and their current manpower was completely sufficient. Even if Lin Fan ca over, he wouldn't be of much use.
The two chatted for a while. When Chen Ran saw Director Zhao Peisheng coming over, he hung up the phone first.
Director Zhao Peisheng called Chen Ran and Director Wu Tao together and said, "I have a piece of news I need to talk to you about regarding your program."
Director Wu Tao's eyes lit up, "Director, is there finally a settlent on the budget I asked to apply for last ti?"
Director Zhao Peisheng laughed, "You're still thinking about that. Before, we couldn't get the application approved, but now you guys won't be needing it."
Director Wu Tao didn't understand and asked, "Director, what do you an by that?"
Chen Ran also looked at Zhao Peisheng. Looking at the Director's expression, it wasn't a bad thing.
Zhao Peisheng said, "Actually, the matter hasn't been confird yet. The Chief Director just brought it up during the eting just now, and it still needs to be discussed for a few days. I felt it would be better to inform you guys about this matter."
Seeing the two of them puzzled and confused, Director Zhao finally said, "Your program might be changing its ti slot!"
"Ah?"
Whether it was Chen Ran or Director Wu Tao, both froze in a daze at the sa ti.
Changing the ti slot?
No, they had only just taken first place in the sa ti slot, and now they were changing ti slots; what did this an?
Director Zhao added, "What specific ti slot it will be changed to is still unclear right now. Today, the Chief Director was rely asking for opinions. Whether it will actually be changed or not is still unknown at present. I'm just letting you know to give you so ntal preparation."
Director Wu Tao didn't quite understand the reasoning, but he also knew this was a huge, good thing.
Since the station was preparing to change their program's ti slot, it definitely wouldn't be too bad. After all, the program's viewership ratings were right here. If they truly put them on at midnight to broadcast, who would still watch at that ti?
Unless a leader's brain went stupid would they make such a decision.
At this mont, Chen Ran suddenly saw the light.
No wonder the station had been unable to settle on the title sponsorship fee all along; it turned out they were dragging it out waiting for this!
He had found it strange; the program's potential wasn't small, but the station should have settled the title sponsorship no matter what, otherwise every episode was wasting money.
It turned out they had wanted to change the ti slot since then!
As for what ti slot they would be changed to, since the station was operating like this, it definitely wouldn't be worse than now.
Co to think of it, it was true. The station also needed to make money, and everything was evaluated based on profit. With their program having such great potential, how could they possibly turn a blind eye to it.
Director Zhao Peisheng had told the two of them in advance, but he also gave them a heads-up not to spread it out for the ti being. After all, it was a matter that hadn't been confird yet.
Chen Ran and Director Wu both understood and didn't speak of it outside, but they were also wondering what ti slot the station would move them to.
The Chief Director took this matter quite seriously. On the second day, he held another eting, and this ti, it was finalized.
There was no need to think about the Saturday late-night slot; that program's viewership ratings were extrely good. In the end, it was surprisingly set for the weekend late-night slot!
Their program and the program in the Sunday late-night slot would be swapping with each other.
Once the news was finalized, Director Zhao Peisheng also imdiately notified Chen Ran and Director Wu Tao.
The two looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Sunday late-night slot?" Chen Ran was slightly surprised. The ti slot was very good, but the main point wasn't this.
"The Sunday late-night slot, that's Xu Yang's program, right?" Director Wu Tao recalled for a mont.
He rembered this person clearly. Back then, when he called to invite him to be the host, he completely refused to agree. Now this was great; their program and the other party's ti slot were being swapped.
Swapping from the Sunday late-night slot to Thursday, he truly didn't know what Xu Yang would think in his heart.
……
When the 'Youth' program crew received the news, everyone was a bit unable to believe it.
They had been in the Sunday late-night slot for so ti already; how could they suddenly be changing ti slots?
Upon learning they were being changed to Thursday, Xu Yang was even more directly dumbfounded.
The day before yesterday, when he saw the 'Zhou Zhou Show' successfully reach first place in its ti slot, he had already been chagrined for quite a long ti.
He had finally managed to adjust himself, and then suddenly such a piece of news ca.
He felt his mindset completely collapse.
