Chapter 708 Shock! Xiangjiang citizens wanted to go home early to watch "
This is destined to be a phenomenal TV series.
As far as Xiangjiang is concerned, before this, the highest ratings of a 20-episode TV series could exceed 30%, which is already very impressive. Today, Asia Television's "Journey to the West" filmed by mainland director Yang Jie and mainland actors has a ratings of over 90%, which is probably unprecedented.
It didn't happen before, and it will be difficult to encounter it in the future.
It will be broadcast on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, with two episodes broadcast every night during prime time from Monday to Friday.
Early the next day.
Yang Ming just got up.
Coming down from upstairs, when Yang Ming had breakfast with his parents, he learned from the newspapers that the ratings for the first episode of "Journey to the West" last night were 85%, and the second episode had actually exceeded 95%.
So much so that now all the major newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong are about this news.
In addition, it is also reported in the news that last night TVB's Shao Yifu and other senior executives couldn't sleep, so they held a meeting overnight and announced that they would also film "Journey to the West" that night.
At the beginning, TVB planned to hire directors and actors from the mainland. However, in order to differentiate itself from Asian TV stations and localize it, they ultimately selected screenwriters, directors and actors from within TVB itself.
Under such circumstances, "Journey to the West" produced by TVB will definitely be different.
Now there are Asian TV stations that can be used as a reference, which may play a certain role in TVB.
Yang Ming thought of it.
Historically, TVB also filmed "Journey to the West", but he found it very eye-catching after watching it.
I wonder if this will happen to TVB this time.
Regardless of TVB, Yang Ming believes that after this time, Asia Television will be far behind TVB in terms of TV series.
In addition, when "Journey to the West" ends, Asian TV will soon broadcast new TV series in prime time, which will lead a new trend.
Even if it cannot surpass the ratings of this "Journey to the West", Yang Ming believes that it will definitely not be bad.
When Yang Ming and his parents finished breakfast.
Today Yang Ming took the car back to work at Imperial Group.
Back to the Imperial Group.
At this time, the employees at the Imperial Group headquarters were already at work.
Imperial Group gives employees annual leave on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year, and returns to work on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Many white people in Xiangjiang do not celebrate the Spring Festival, and they will go to and from get off work normally.
Yang Ming came to the chairman's office.
Lin Xiuzhi said hello: "Boss, my family and I watched the movie "Journey to the West" last night. It was very good."
It was normal for Lin Xiuzhi and her family to watch it.
At this time, the material and spiritual aspects of Xiangjiang were much richer than those in China. There were many movies and TV series. However, it was actually very difficult to encounter such a phenomenon-level TV series.
Yang Ming drank the cup of coffee Lin Xiuzhi made.
In the morning, Yang Ming was busy in front of the computer.
. . .
in the afternoon.
Yang Ming worked until 17:00 in the afternoon.
Lin Xiuzhi didn't stay either. She had to go home in a hurry and continue watching "Journey to the West" tonight.
Yang Ming got off the Imperial Group and got into the car.
When Chen Zhenhua and others drove away from here, it was still very smooth at first. Gradually, Chen Zhenhua found that the front was seriously blocked and it was basically impossible to pass.
"Boss, there's a traffic jam ahead."
Chen Zhenhua didn't expect that he would actually encounter a traffic jam now.
Is it related to the Chinese New Year?
"How is this going?"
Not only are there traffic jams for private cars after get off work, but also buses, buses, school buses, etc. all seem to be jammed.
At first, Chen Zhenhua was a little worried about whether it would be detrimental to his boss.
At this time, he had already seen Sir A in front maintaining order.
Sirs noticed that Sir Yang was sitting in this Rolls-Royce, and the Sirs hurried over to greet Yang Ming.
"Hello Sir Yang."
A sir is saluting outside.
"what happened?"
"Sir Yang, it's like this. For some unknown reason today, many people got off work at the same time, which led to several accidents and traffic jams. Our colleagues are already maintaining order."
Getting off work around the same time?
Yang Ming was a little confused.
In that case, Yang Ming could only wait in the car.
At this point, it's not just him.
Including Li Jiacheng in a Mercedes-Benz, Bao Yugang in a Rolls-Royce, Wu Guangzhen in a Bentley, etc., they all went home from get off work around 17:17 or : to accompany their families for dinner.
At this time, most people are stuck on the road.
At first, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzhen and others thought that the traffic jam was caused by Sir Yang having to go to the airport again.
At this time, a sound came from the radio in the car.
"Dear drivers and passengers, please pay attention, pay attention, there are large-scale traffic jams on Hennessy Road, Canal Road, and Hung Hom Tunnel! Many sirens have been deployed in Xiangjiang to maintain order."
. . .
"From the radio reporter's interview with the driver, we learned that the large-scale traffic jam in the Central District of Hong Kong may be related to the "Journey to the West" that is being broadcast. Many people want to get off work early, accompany their families to have dinner, and watch the "Journey to the West" broadcast by Hong Kong Station remember"."
Yang Ming was sitting in the car reading the newspaper when he suddenly heard the news from the radio. He was stunned.
Those working people actually got off work early and were preparing to go home and watch tonight's "Journey to the West".
Perhaps, this is really the main reason.
One reason is that after 17 o'clock, it is the rush hour for getting off work in Xiangjiang Central District. In addition, at this time, many students are also going home from get out of class.
In addition to taking the subway without traffic jams, private cars, buses, school buses, etc. all use land passage to get home.
"Boss, the TV station said that watching "Journey to the West" is related." Chen Zhenhua said.
The bodyguards didn't watch it last night, but they also heard that "Journey to the West" was very popular.
"possible."
It took almost half an hour.
Maintained by the traffic police.
The road is finally open to traffic.
Yang Ming took the car back to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa, it was almost 19:15 in the evening.
Yang Jirong and his wife, Ah Zhu, Guan Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong and others who had returned were watching TV.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm back."
"Peter, you go have lunch first, your dad and I want to watch TV."
Looking at the parents.
Yang Ming could only go to have dinner by himself first.
When he finished dinner, he returned to the living room and saw that the third episode of tonight's broadcast was still playing. Yang Ming saw that his parents were so focused on watching TV that they did not stay.
Go upstairs.
At 22:30 in the evening.
Huang Xizhao is here.
"Boss, I really admire you."
To say who Huang Xizhao admires the most, it must be his boss Sir Yang.
"Journey to the West" is now on its fourth episode. Judging from the ratings of these four episodes, each episode has higher ratings. It is even said that during the rush hour after get off work tonight, there will be a traffic jam because many people are anxious to go home to watch Journey to the West. of.
"Boss, Journey to the West is very popular right now. In addition to our TV station's prime time advertising fees increasing a lot, TV stations from many places in Japan, Korea, Wanwan, and Nanyang want to bid for the broadcasting rights of Journey to the West. What do you think? "
This was expected by Yang Ming.
"Don't worry, wait until we finish the first round. The second round will be sold to domestic TV stations, and the third round will be sold to foreign TV stations."
