Chapter 78 - It's Better to Drink Less
In just one morning's ti, everyone in the station knew the viewership ratings of 'Challenge the Microphone'.
The 9.83% premiere viewership rating made many people sowhat doubt life.
Last night, many people in the station didn't go watch it. After all, knowing the program was just pulled out to take over the slot and produced in less than a week, it definitely couldn't escape being shoddily made; going to watch it would also be a waste of ti.
In their hearts, they were actually sighing that things were not easy for the entertainnt channel. Being saddled with this kind of situation was quite troubleso; the situation with Fang Qingying was one thing, but the key was that a ruined broadcasting slot would be difficult to deal with.
Who would have thought that 'Challenge the Microphone', which everyone was not optimistic about, would directly explode on its premiere!
A viewership rating of nearly 10%, let alone on the entertainnt channel, even placed among all of Zhaonan's local channels, was top-tier; the entertainnt channel itself was second only to the satellite TV channel.
"I didn't expect this program to have such a viewership rating. This Chen Ran is indeed impressive." Director Lin Jun of the economic channel sighed slightly with emotion.
Because Lin Fan had ntioned it a few tis at ho, he had also watched the program. At the ti, he felt it was quite good, but he didn't expect it to reach this height.
And this was under the circumstances of inadequate promotion and insufficient preparation.
Lin Jun thought of his son. Initially, he had worried that working under Chen Ran would lead to unpleasantness. Now it seed that not only was there no unpleasantness, but his overall deanor had changed a lot too.
In the past, although he worked seriously, he lacked a burst of drive; recently, it could be clearly felt that he had beco energetic.
Although he had lost the title of chief planner back then, looking at it now, it wasn't a bad thing.
The people in the tropolitan channel, on the other hand, felt quite uncomfortable. Originally, there was no gap between them and the entertainnt channel; everyone's viewership ratings were in the sa echelon.
Now that the entertainnt channel had produced two explosive hits, it directly pulled ahead of them by a full step.
"Two programs breaking 10%. The entertainnt channel is really making a killing this ti..."
The director of the tropolitan channel was a bit envious.
For this kind of long-term program, once it becos popular, it's not a matter of two or three months, but long-term revenue.
Now the public channel was also rising, and the station had tilted quite a few resources toward the public channel. If they didn't figure out a way, they were all going to be left behind.
……
The next day, Chen Ran woke up to the sound of his alarm clock.
Opening his eyes, what he saw was a sowhat unfamiliar ceiling.
Chen Ran casually pressed off his phone's alarm clock and sat up.
"Hiss..." His head was a bit swollen; he rubbed the space between his eyebrows hard.
Looking around, he finally rembered that this was Zhang Fanzhi's room.
Last night, Director Zhang was happy, and Aunt Yun also brought out so liquor, so the uncle and nephew duo started drinking.
Chen Ran didn't really like ‘baijiu’, but he still followed along and drank quite a bit.
In the end, Director Zhang was still clear-headed, while he couldn't quite hold up anymore. He felt a severe tightness in his throat, exhaling in small breaths; if he drank any more, he would definitely throw up.
Seeing him like this, Director Zhang didn't let him continue drinking.
After that, Chen Ran didn't go back and just slept here.
Chen Ran pushed the door open and went out, seeing that Director Zhang was already up, brushing his teeth in his pajamas.
"You kid, your alcohol tolerance is no good. When you have free ti in the future, you need to practice more," Director Zhang said with a smile after coming over.
Aunt Yun was displeased upon hearing this and said, "It's still better to drink less. Drinking a little when you're happy is fine, but drinking on normal days easily leads to mistakes."
"What do you know? Working outside, there are always social engagents. If everyone is drinking and you don't, how will that work?" Director Zhang said.
Aunt Yun glanced at her husband and said, "That's why I say to drink less. If you don't know how to drink, others won't force you. If your alcohol tolerance is bad, people will let you drink less."
Director Zhang originally wanted to retort with a few words, but seeing his wife's eyes, he wisely shut his mouth and staggered into the room to change clothes.
"Chen Ran, don't listen to your uncle. Don't touch tobacco or alcohol. I've heard that smoking and drinking are bad for children..." Aunt Yun said.
Chen Ran felt a bit confused. There were no children at ho, so it shouldn't have any impact, right?
After reacting, he was slightly embarrassed. Aunt Yun's plans were too far-reaching; this was sothing that wasn't even in sight yet.
He could only smile awkwardly and say, "I usually don't drink alcohol anyway, and I don't really like it."
Aunt Yun smiled and said, "That's for the best, that's for the best.”
After eating breakfast, Chen Ran and Director Zhang went to work together.
"What are your production crew's plans moving forward? Doing two programs at the sa ti, your little bit of manpower won't be able to handle it, right?" Director Zhang asked while driving.
Chen Ran said, "'Qingying's Lecture Room' has been suspended, so their staff is currently idle. They will be integrated over the next couple of days, and then we will be split into Group One and Group Two."
Actually, they could have just directly divided into two production crews for 'I Love Rembering Lyrics' and 'Challenge the Microphone', but the degree of overlap between the programs was too high.
The staff and stage all overlapped, so there was no need for that.
Director Zhang nodded.
"That's good, otherwise your body definitely wouldn't be able to endure it."
…...
Sure enough, after arriving at the TV station, Director Liu announced this matter.
The production crew expanded its manpower and began to split up.
Because the original people from the 'I Love Rembering Lyrics' production crew were familiar with the flow of both programs, and the newcors were all greenhorns, it was a one-on-one ntoring system, with veterans and novices divided equally between the two sides.
The chief planner for the programs was still Chen Ran.
Originally, the planning team wasn't going to separate, but Chen Ran felt that this would easily confuse their train of thought, so he had Lin Fan lead a few people to take charge of 'Challenge the Microphone'.
After he finished his work with 'I Love Rembering Lyrics', he would also follow the recording of 'Challenge the Microphone'.
With 'Challenge the Microphone' on the right track, they weren't as busy as when they were preparing last week.
However, the recorded stock for 'I Love Rembering Lyrics' couldn't be used; this episode had to be re-recorded.
Plus the celebrity special, 'I Love Rembering Lyrics' needed to record two episodes.
Lin Fan was slightly excited. Although the chief planner was Chen Ran, he was in charge of 'Challenge the Microphone', so his responsibilities were about the sa.
Furthermore, the program was obviously going to be a huge hit. While excited, he also beca increasingly serious, absolutely not daring to let his guard down.
For a program with such a dream start, if a problem occurred in his hands, he would truly be a sinner.
Guided by the team's veterans, the people newly joining the production crew also integrated quickly.
Everyone was a seasoned veteran at the TV station. Having worked for so many years, their experience was all very rich.
'I Love Rembering Lyrics' recorded two episodes consecutively. After finishing, basically everyone beca one cohesive team, no longer distinguishing between you and .
Today was Friday.
What was going to be broadcast tonight was 'I Love Rembering Lyrics'.
Because it was the first episode linking up with 'Challenge the Microphone', everyone wanted to see how the effect would be.
If it affected 'Rembering Lyrics' for the sake of 'Challenge the Microphone', that would obviously not be worth the cost.
Regarding this, Chen Ran wasn't very worried. The viewing demographics overlapped, so the impact wouldn't be too great.
While everyone was looking forward to the program's broadcast tonight, he was concerned about another matter.
"It seems today is the release of Zhang Fanzhi's new song?"
Chen Ran also didn't know at what ti Zhang Fanzhi's new song was releasing. After rembering it, he went online to search for it, only to discover in astonishnt that it had already been released for over ten hours.
It officially went online at 0:00 AM on Friday.
For soone like Chen Ran, who didn't consider a day to have passed until he went to sleep, that was actually still considered Thursday night; he just hadn't reacted.
Chen Ran took a look at 'The Initial Dream'. It got on the new song chart, but he only found it in the thirties, with around five thousand comnts.
anwhile, that Lin Hanyun's new song was twelfth, with over ten thousand comnts...
Chen Ran clicked his tongue. This seed to be a bit miserable?
