The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 489 The only one who can defeat Lu Yuan is himself

"Dong dong dong."

The next morning, Jin Yue knocked on the door of the director's office with two panda eyes.

He had been paying attention to netizens' feedback last night, and overall, the situation was very good.

"Enter!"

The voice coming from inside the house was very loud, and Jin Yue felt more confident.

He quietly looked at the other person's face.

"Master."

The director walked out from behind his desk, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Old Jin, you've brought honor to the station this time."

"It's all because of your good leadership."

"Haha, I have to throw you a celebration party."

Jin Yue clenched her fists, suppressed her inner joy, and asked, "Leader, how are the ratings of "Number"?"

"The first episode had a viewership of 7.1, and the second episode rose to 7.3." The station director did not keep anyone in suspense.

"hiss!"

Jin Yue took a breath. He had expected Lu Yuan to be very powerful, but he never expected him to be so powerful.

CCTV's ratings in recent years have been declining year by year due to the impact of streaming media.

2005, "Drawing Sword", ratings: 8.4%.

2006, "Qiao Family Courtyard", ratings: 8.6%.

2007, "Station 51", ratings: 5.3%.

In 2008, "The Legend of Bruce Lee", the ratings: 7.9%, the second place: "Crossing Guandong", the ratings: 7.7%,

2009, "Going West", ratings: 6.9%.

2010, "Country Love Story", ratings: 5.04%.

In 2011, the most popular drama on CCTV-3.40 is "Happiness Knocks on the Door", with a viewership rating of %.

It is far inferior to Mango TV's "Scarlet Heart", and is even inferior to the bloody and bad drama "Temptation to Go Home".

As more than half of the year has passed, a movie called "Number" suddenly came to the rescue.

What does a 7-point viewership mean? It’s like going back to 2008.

Judging from the current word-of-mouth that continues to ferment online, as the plot unfolds, the ratings will continue to rise, perhaps even up to 8%.

Lu Yuan is awesome!! The best actor in TV series!! The king of reversing versions!!

Jin Yue shouted in her heart.

From now on, he is Lu Chui!
"Let's go."

The director put his hands behind his back and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I haven't had breakfast either. Come with me and take a look around."

"Hey!" Jin Yue trotted to open the door.

At the same time, major domestic satellite TV stations, including Jiangsu, Hunan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Oriental, and Beijing, also obtained ratings data.

Everyone was shocked.

"Ah~"

The director of Jiangsu Satellite TV rubbed his temple and said, "If we had known this, we should have raised the budget. 1.4 million is not a bad idea."

He really regrets it.

After 2010, the ratings statistics began to use city networks, and dramas broadcast by satellite TV stations also began to be included in the list.

However, apart from CCTV, Mango TV is almost the only one that stands out.

A younger brother who doesn't want to dethrone his big brother is not a good younger brother.

In 2011, CCTV invested a total of 18 billion yuan in purchasing high-quality TV dramas.

After learning the news, powerful satellite TV stations such as Jiangsu, Hunan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Oriental, and BJ followed suit.

As the director of Jiangsu Satellite TV, seeing that Mango TV was becoming more and more influential and was about to secure the top spot under CCTV, he waved his hand and spent 8 million yuan to purchase new dramas.

Who to buy from?
Without a doubt, it was Lu Yuan.

I have experienced "Insidious", "Before the Dawn", "Dwelling Narrowness", "Snow Leopard" and "Startling by Each Step".
All domestic TV stations have basically reached a consensus: if they want ratings, they should look for Lu Yuan.

But the price of the "number" was too high, and the other brothers scrambled for it without mercy.

It's true, I'm afraid that my brothers are having a hard life, and I'm also afraid that they are driving a Land Rover.

And no matter how much the brothers raise the price, CCTV is determined to win.

If Jiangsu Satellite TV really buys "Number", it will consume one-fifth of its total annual budget.

The risk was too great, so he hesitated at the time.

Regret!
This is almost the common idea of ​​most first-tier satellite TV stations.

At the same time, they also made up their minds that Lu Yuan’s next drama would be produced no matter what the price was.

Even if it means selling everything you have. In one word, grab it! !
When many TV station leaders were regretting their decision.

The media and netizens were also completely excited about the show's dazzling ratings.

After the first two episodes, the Douban score soared to 9.3.

Of course, this score is not entirely accurate.

Because only some of them are real audience ratings, and a considerable part of them are deliberately inflated by fans.

As the subsequent plot is slowly revealed, the ratings may fluctuate.

But this does not prevent fans of the drama and Lu Yuan's young fans from praising the show on the Internet.

"That man is here again, with a 'number' on his shoulders, killing people indiscriminately!"

"Wow, that's awesome! The most popular drama in the first half of the year is called "Startling by Each Step", and the most popular drama in the second half of the year is called "The Unforgettable Number". Both stars are Lu Yuan. One is on Mango TV, and the other is on CCTV. Mango TV was popular in the first half of the year, and CCTV dominated in the second half of the year. The only one who can beat Lu Yuan is himself."

"Lu Yuan: Who else?!"

"Lu Yuan: From now on, please call me the number one TV drama guy!"

"I'm a huge fan of Lu Yuan. I've always believed that there are two peaks that are difficult to surpass in domestic war-themed dramas, namely "Bright Sword" and "My Captain, My Regiment". Now it's different. "The Unforgettable Number" will also be one of them."

"Oh my god, my husband dragged me to watch it, and I didn't recognize Lu Yuan at first sight."

"Lu Yuan is awesome, go go go!!"

"."

The ratings of "Number" were very high, and the outside world was in an uproar.

At this time, Lu Yuan was invited by producer Luo Liping to come to the appointment.

When he arrived, he found that in addition to Luo Liping and Xu Jizhou, there was another acquaintance, Liu Jiang, in the box.

"My dear teacher Lu, I finally waited for you." Luo Liping gave him a big hug.

Xu Jizhou also looked at him with a smile on his face. The huge success of "Number" pushed him to the position of a top director.

"You are really good at hiding. The ratings of "Number" are close to 8 points. Miao Pu, Li Jian, Wang Lei, Ni Dahong, and even our director Zhou are busy giving interviews all day long. But you, on the other hand, have not shown up for so many days since the show started. The reporters are going crazy." Luo Liping pulled him to sit down.

Lu Yuan thought of the reporters blocking the entrance to the community, shook his head and smiled: "I don't lack exposure now, why not give them more opportunities, they are all good actors."

"Haha, that's what I admire about you." Luo Liping showed his back teeth.

Xu Jizhou also smiled and asked, "What are you busy with these days?"

Lu Yuan answered truthfully: "The film is in post-production, and I have to go to Thailand to film afterwards, so the schedule is tight."

The post-production editing of "Time Raiders" has come to an end, and the next steps are to deal with sound effects, color grading, special effects, etc.

Not only that, he was not satisfied with the actors' lines in some shots and needed to notify them to re-dub.

It won’t be long before the filming of Lost in Thailand starts, so time is really tight.

Luo Liping and Liu Jiang looked at each other and asked, "I heard from Ma Ke that you rejected "Yingpan Town Police Story"?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, suddenly realizing that these three people called him over probably because there was a new script.

"Yingpan Town Police Story" is a project of Golden Shield Film and Television Culture Center, which is also the producer of "Dwelling Narrowness", and Ma Ke is the producer.

28 episodes, package price, 2500 million.

He nodded: "My schedule next year is not suitable."

Luo Liping didn't believe this. With his status, as long as he agreed to shoot, many crews would be willing to wait.

Liu Jiang on the other side was a little anxious and asked directly: "I have a script here, do you want to take a look at it first?"

Lu Yuan was in a dilemma: "Lao Liu, the two war dramas, Snow Leopard last year and Number this year, were so tiring that they almost drained me out. I want to take a break from the small screen for a while."

"Don't make a decision in a hurry, read the script first." Luo Liping winked at Liu Jiang.

"Yes, yes, read the script first."

Liu Jiang hurriedly took out a script from behind him and stuffed it into his hand.

Lu Yuan couldn't refuse and glanced at the cover, "Let's Get Married".

Liu Jiang introduced: "This play tells the story of an older single woman and a man who fears marriage. They overcome numerous obstacles, resolve each other's confusion, and overcome the dissatisfaction of both parents, and finally the lovers get married."

"Since you are tired of shooting war films, why not shoot an urban drama to relax?"

"correct."

Luo Liping chimed in, "Boss Chen said that as long as you agree to film, you can decide the start time and choose the leading actress, and the salary is a small matter."

Chen Runsheng made a fortune from the movie "Number", and now in his heart, Lu Yuan is the God of Wealth who has descended to earth.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything, just read the script silently. After about half an hour, he gradually realized that the quality was not very outstanding, even not as good as "Yingpan Town Police Story".

He rubbed his eyes, looked at Liu Jiang who was full of expectation, and said carefully: "Director Liu, you know that when I read the script, I pay attention to resonance with the character."

Liu Jiang looked disappointed when he heard this.

"But, as expected, for this warm-hearted man who is afraid of marriage, I can introduce someone to you."

"Who?"

"Guo Jingfei."
