Chapter 364 11.9%

The first two episodes aired that night and the ratings really exploded.

The highest ratings once reached 11.9%, close to the peak of "Drawing Sword".

However, when "Drawing Sword" was first broadcast, the data was not so explosive. Moreover, as an anti-Japanese war drama, it is suitable for viewers of all ages. "The Lonely and Great God" is only suitable for teenagers and middle-aged people. It is difficult for the older generation to accept the relatively novel settings.

It can be said that compared with "Bright Sword", "The Lonely and Great God" is relatively niche, and the reason why it can achieve such exaggerated results is mainly due to the popularity of the actors themselves.

The girl killer Fan Wumian, paired with the otaku goddess Zhuang Muxi, had such strong appeal that the staff of Hubei Radio and Television were stunned, and directly broke the all-time premiere record.

Even the phenomenal finale of the first season of "Wulin Waijia" barely broke 10% in viewership, and the average data is far from that high.

You can use your imagination.

There must be many young people at home snatching the remote control from their elders tonight, "ceding land and paying compensation" and agreeing to many additional requests, only then can they gain some time to watch the show in peace.

My parents' expressions were like those of flies, and they would mutter from time to time, "If you had focused on studying, you would have done this and that," "You are busy playing instead of doing homework," and "Watching TV hurts your eyes."

The reason why such an exaggerated result can be achieved is first of all thanks to Fan Wumian’s tens of millions of young female fans in the mainland.

Well known.

The star-chasing girls in school are equivalent to "mobile human campus radio stations" and have a huge influence on their classmates and girlfriends.

Ever since the news that Fan Wumian's first TV series was about to be aired came out, countless young female fans immediately took action and spontaneously helped their brother promote and recommend the show, asking classmates and friends at home to go and watch it.

They are just young and relatively poor.

As the little cotton-padded jacket at home, it is easy to get what you want and grab the remote control by acting cute and pleases others, or being angry and acting coquettish. With so many girls as the basic base, and the new drama itself being very attractive, the ratings naturally go up.

Middle-aged people like young and beautiful girls, and aunts are also obsessed with young handsome men, but they are limited by worldly prejudices and hide it a little deeper than men.

Even when meeting a handsome guy like Fan Wumian, she is still charmed by him and smiles like an auntie.

Some mothers look at him, who is fashionable and clean, and then look at their own sons who follow a non-mainstream style, and feel that all the clothes in the closet should be thrown away and they should find a new barber shop.

It combines many elements such as magic, domineering boss, beauty, love, etc. Many mainland audiences have never seen this. After tuning into Nanhu Satellite TV, they can't press the buttons on the remote control.

Before the two episodes were finished, a line of subtitles started rolling below, saying: "The Lonely and Great God" broke the record for ratings, currently reaching a peak of 11.9%."

This is obviously an act of eagerness to announce the good news to the public. On the other hand, it is similar to promoting the box office results during the release of a movie, thereby attracting media attention and indirectly promoting it.

The entertainment industry is even more lively.

Tonight, many directors, screenwriters and producers received calls from their superiors or bosses, asking them to carefully study and analyze Fan Wumian's new drama, think about it carefully over the weekend, and hold a meeting on Monday to discuss it.

Some screenwriters cursed at this, thinking it was similar to writing movie reviews during school days. After hanging up the phone, they muttered a few words, "If I had this ability, I would have switched to Shanzeiwang Media long ago", or "I dare to write it, but do you have the ability to pass the review?"

The employees of Shanzeiwang Media have high salaries and good benefits. Not only do they pay the maximum provident fund, but most of the time they work from nine to five and receive subsidies for overtime. In the eyes of others, it is a "Hong Kong-funded foreign company."

Last year's average year-end bonus of 30,000 yuan per person is equivalent to many people's entire year's income. Many directors and screenwriters dream of being poached by headhunters.

Recently.

Shanzeiwang Media also cooperated with some film and television companies and invested in some film and television projects. Whenever Fan Wumian took a fancy to a script, the actors would rush to use their connections to audition, and other investors would also invest at a premium.

A certain film and television company clearly only needed 200 million, but others insisted on giving 500 million, wanting to get a larger share, and in the end they parted ways unhappily.

This matter has already spread in the mainland film and television circles.

With the previous examples of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and "Home with Kids" being picked up, few people are considering selling the finished TV series in a package to Shanzeiwang Media. It is generally believed that the ones targeted by Fan Wumian must have special potential.

Many people in the circle originally did not believe in metaphysics, but seeing Fan Wumian, who was blessed with good luck, rising all the way, they decided to believe it and began to spend a lot of money to find masters to help them with Feng Shui.

"It's so high? Maybe there's something wrong with it."

I was busy filming last night and worked until about one in the morning. I returned to the hotel and fell asleep immediately.

It was not until the morning that Fan Wumian heard that the new drama's ratings had broken records.

There was nothing surprising about breaking the record, but the strong performance on the first day of the premiere did exceed his expectations.

At this moment.

Sitting by the patterned black French windows in the restaurant, having breakfast with Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mi and others. The sunlight shone through the windows, and the two girls looked very pleasing to the eye.

Pu Jiajing was also there and replied:
"It's all reported in the news. A quick search on the Internet will reveal all the news. How could it be wrong? There's also news saying that Hubei Radio and Television has made a lot of money this time, earning at least 20 to 30 million yuan from selling advertising space. Logically, you should be given a big red envelope."

Fan Wumian drank the pork porridge and shook his head and said:
"It's not a private company, so how could they easily touch the public funds in the account? However, it shouldn't be a problem to ask them for a few promotional opportunities on Entertainment Camp."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Yuanyuan and Yang Mi's eyes sparkled. The ratings of "Entertainment Camp" are still very high. Being on this variety show often means that you can get some news reports and increase your exposure.

I heard Fan Wumian suddenly say:
"Oh, I forgot again. I'm working on a new variety show myself, so why do I need to go to Entertainment Camp? You guys should all go record Running Man later."

Gao Yuanyuan was sitting opposite him, and when she moved her stool forward, she accidentally kicked Fan Wumian's leg.

Seeing him looking at her, Gao Yuanyuan was afraid of being misunderstood, so she said awkwardly:

"Sorry, I bumped into you, the back of my shoe isn't dirty."

After saying that, she felt a little regretful. She vaguely thought that if she was really misunderstood, there wouldn't be anything wrong with it. The only pity was that she was a few years older than him, so the chance of her picking on younger girls was smaller.

Fan Wumian’s “right of priority in choosing a mate” has now reached its limit. His charm is no joke.

Even if he tried to poach someone, he would have at least a 70% to 80% success rate. Besides, Gao Yuanyuan was single at the moment and she liked talented men the most.

"fine."

Fan Wumian smiled, turned to Pu Jiajing and said:

"This drama has a high ratings, which is very beneficial to the company. When the time comes, it will be easy to sell "My Love from the Star" at a high price. While it is still popular, we can talk to overseas TV stations about purchasing. We will not accept buyouts, but only charge according to the number of broadcasts. After "Dae Jang Geum" became popular, Korean dramas made so much money, and we can finally see the return of money."

Yang Mi had Thai fried noodles for breakfast. The taste was so-so, but it was enough to fill her stomach.

After listening to Fan Wumian, she asked curiously:
"Hong Kong is your home turf, but TV dramas from the island country seem to be cheaper, right?"

"Ah."

Fan Wumian explained:

"Just like the situation in Hong Kong, Japanese and Korean TV stations use their monopoly advantage to desperately lower the cost of TV dramas in order to make more money. Actors' pay is not high either, and they make money by taking on advertising endorsements after their dramas become popular."

Gao Yuanyuan only ate a sandwich with orange juice and fried eggs, and said:
"I watched 'The Lonely and Great God' last night. The content was particularly attractive to me. It doesn't matter if the purchase price for one TV station is low. It's still very profitable to sell it to several TV stations. Anyway, I have already recovered my investment with interest."

Fan Wumian was all smiles:
"Yes, if you sell more licenses, all the profits will be profits. This year, Korean dramas are obviously willing to spend money, and several major projects have been announced in succession, aiming to profit from the overseas market."

Pu Jiajing also went on to say:
"Foreign dramas can film some themes that cannot pass the review in the mainland, and then be imported and broadcast. Isn't this like tying one's hands and feet and then going on stage to fight? The bosses of mainland film and television companies are probably so depressed that they are about to vomit blood."

He lowered his head and was busy eating.

Fan Wumian continued:

"In fact, some themes can be filmed in the mainland, as long as they don't cross the red line. The reason why no one invests in them is because the audience preferences are different. Many middle-aged and elderly audiences are stuck in their era and have no interest in young and novel TV series, which makes investors dare not take risks."

"My new drama has benefited from the times. The first batch of people born in the 90s are now 16 years old and in middle school and high school. They can grab the remote control during the holidays. When they go back to school on Monday, the ratings will plummet."

"Perhaps the ratings for the reruns scheduled on weekends will be no lower than those on weekdays."

The dining table is a bit narrow.

Gao Yuanyuan listened carefully, but accidentally kicked his shoe with her high heels again.

The small movement under the table was not noticed by others, but Fan Wumian certainly felt it and even began to wonder if it was a hint of something to him.

With so many beautiful women hanging around in front of me all day long, how can I really be calm? It's all thanks to my willpower that I can hold on.

After thinking about it for a while, he changed the subject and said:
"Director Tang hasn't come back yet? How pitiful! He was drafted by Starboy early in the morning to rearrange the scene."

The choice of director was discussed by Fan Wumian and Zhou Xingxing, and they found Tang Jili, who had just finished filming "The Myth" last year.

Wang Baoqiang is still a little immature and can’t portray the “experienced” character that Fan Wumian wants.

This time, he chose to partner with Stephen Chow to shoot "Detective Chinatown". The effect presented will obviously not be exactly the same as the original film, and it will naturally bring in some "nonsense" style.

Uncle Tat, who plays Stephen Chow's assistant in the movie, has a somewhat strained relationship with Stephen Chow.

I originally didn't want to take this role, but Fan Wumian offered too much, and Uncle Da has several families and children to support, so I squeezed out time for it.

At this moment.

Uncle Da had just come to the restaurant to eat, and sat at the next table. He smiled and greeted them, saying politely:
"It's really hot in Thailand in April. I almost sweated after walking a few steps outside. I hurried to finish eating and then I'll go change clothes and do my styling."

Fan Wumian smiled and said:

"Don't worry. You know Xingzai's character best. We've been shooting the first few minutes of the movie for two days. It's hard to make good use of the time. Slow work makes perfect. Let's wait until the venue is set up before we set out to meet up."
