On the other hand, Central TV also noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
Central TV building, Station Head's office.
Chief Hu, who was in his fifties, was sitting behind his desk with a serious expression. He held a copy of the Beijing Evening News in his hand and his sharp gaze swept across the subordinates in front of him.
"Who can tell me what's going on with this 'My Own Sword'? The evening newspaper even published a report! And I also heard that when Central TV was at work today, the people below were also discussing Martial Arts Legend?”
There was a hint of coldness in the general manager's tone.
Under normal circumstances, the viewership ratings of a drama would not be enough to alarm the Station Head of Central TV.
However…
Central TV's 8 PM primetime slot was the signature of Central TV!
Especially in the past few years.
Ever since the banquet at the Confucius Mansion in 1994 won the title of the first advertisement winner for Central TV with a price of 30.79 million yuan, Central TV had started to place more and more importance on the viewership ratings of its own TV series.
The main method of making profits for television stations was to rely on popular television dramas to drive up the viewership ratings, and then sell the advertising space during the prime time period.
1994 was Central TV's first general knowledge bidding, and it had produced an eye-catching result of 30.79 million.
In 1995, the price doubled, and Qinchi Wine Industry won the bid for 60 million yuan.
For two years in a row, Confucius 'Mansion Banquet Wine and Qin Chi Wine, two previously unknown wineries, became well-known brands in the country because they won the bid of Central TV.
The sales volume skyrocketed at an alarming rate!
Everyone was stunned by the astonishing power of the TV commercial…
It was even more exaggerated in 1996.
It was the same Qinchi Liquor Company, but when it came to the third Central TV bid, the price was raised to a terrifying 320 million!
320 million in 1996, what kind of concept was that?
One platform knew the world, and the world knew the stage!
Everyone was going crazy over the huge advertising effect of Central TV's winning bid.
And among them.
As the prime time slot at 8 pm, the TV series that was broadcast at this time had the golden advertising space for pre-drama advertisements and in-drama advertisements. It was a battleground for military strategists.
All the manufacturers in the country had red eyes and waved the money in their hands, desperately trying to get these prime-time advertising spots!
But now…
As Central TV's Station Head, Hu Changping was also filled with hesitation. This was because the concept of Central TV's advertising king was proposed during his tenure and had achieved unparalleled benefits.
This was a huge achievement for him as the station head.
The Central TV Station Head was already in a high position.
However, as the station head, who wouldn't want to continue moving up?
For example, the Wenhua Department?
To ordinary people, a deputy was a high-ranking official.
However!
The thin line between the deputy and the main division was harder than ascending to the heavens.
Only when he was promoted to the main position would he truly enter the core circle of the country's power structure. He was only 53 years old this year. If he could advance to the main position by the age of 55, then he would suddenly be reborn!
From the age of 55 to the main division, there were at least 10 to 15 years of political life above that. The level of the main division was the beginning of a higher level of official career...
On the contrary.
If he only stayed in the deputy department.
Then…
At most, he would have to retire when he was 60 years old!
The difference between them was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Therefore, he had no choice.
When Central TV's winning bid last year shocked the entire country by selling 320 million yuan, Chief Hu paid extra attention to the viewership ratings of the primetime television series at 8 PM…
At least.
This year and next year, these two crucial years, they absolutely could not be pulled down!
If anyone dares to make me unhappy at this juncture, I, Hu Changping, will make them unhappy for the rest of their lives in Central TV!!
And now, it was already the end of September. There was only about a month left until the fourth Central TV's King of bidders conference in November.
But at this moment, Chief Hu suddenly realized that an article had appeared in today's Beijing Evening News newspaper. It was titled "My Own Swordsman," which had caused a heated discussion among the audience. Last night's premiere might become the biggest dark horse and topple Central TV's top stream?
This was simply poking at Chief Hu's lungs!
Take down Central TV's Golden Media?
I'm picking your mother!
Of course.
Chief Hu's anger was not directed at Mango TV, nor was it directed at Ian.
Instead, he was targeting the group of drunkards under him.
"Tell me, what exactly happened!”
Chief Hu slammed the newspaper in his hand onto the desk.
Among the people standing below, the head of the purchasing department broke out in cold sweat…
Others might not know about it, but how could he, the person who had personally shut out My Own Swordsman, not know about it?
He had stirred up a big mess!
At this moment, the head of the purchasing department only wanted to curse Big Boss Wang and his small circle in Beijing.
Why was he so blind back then?
Since he could sit in the important position of the director of the purchasing department, he was naturally the general manager's absolute confidant.
It was precisely because of this.
Of course, he understood how much his old superior, Chief Hu, had been paying attention to the viewership ratings of the 8 PM Golden TV Series for the past two years.
It could be said.
The viewership ratings of the 8 PM Golden TV Series was equivalent to the amount of money that Central TV's advertising champion earned!
He also knew.
These two years would be a crucial period for Chief Hu to progress further.
If you ruined Chief Hu's business at this time, not to mention a trusted aide, even your own son would be able to beat your brains out…
The director of the purchasing department broke out in cold sweat. His throat moved for a long time, but he could not say a word.
However…
If he didn't want to say it, someone would say it for him.
A voice rang out from the crowd. It was Director Zhang from the production center.
Director Zhang was expressionless, but the words he said made the director of the purchasing department's heart fall to the bottom.
"Station Head, I happen to know a little about this 'My Own Martial Arts Sword'. This is because the director and screenwriter of this drama is my junior from university. He even specially came to Central TV to put this drama under the name of our production center.”
"It's just…"
"What I'm very puzzled about is that my junior clearly said that he would go to the purchasing department to discuss the price of this drama with Director Chen. He even specially informed me about it.”
"Why isn't this drama being broadcasted on our station but on Mango TV?”
Director Zhang from the production center explained the situation in detail.
