Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 36 Premiere Ratings

Zhou Mo was still asleep when the phone rang.

After hearing Da Tiantian's question, it took him a long time to recover.

Recalling the image of Zhou Gong's daughter Miaoman, he licked his lips subconsciously: "What's the first broadcast rate?"

"3.69."

"How much?" Zhou Mo felt like he was still sleepy.

"3.69, you heard it right, it's over 3.5."

In an instant, Zhou Mo lost all desire to sleep.

He frowned: "Tiantian, why is it so high?"

Da Tiantian complained: "You filmed the show, but you don't even know it, so how can I know?"

Zhou Mo patted his face, feeling as if he was still in a dream.

Don't blame him for thinking so.

The ratings for the first broadcast are really too impressive.

How fierce is it exactly?
To give a simple example, the hit TV series "Temptation to Go Home" aired in 2011 had a premiere ratings of only around .

You know, "Temptation to Go Home" is the annual ratings champion.

The premiere rate of "Myth" is more than 1.5 times that of "Temptation to Go Home".

So, Zhou Mo lowered his voice and asked, "Tiantian, we haven't taken science and technology, right?"

Da Tiantian guessed what he was thinking early on: "Don't worry, I've checked, no."

"So you used your money ability?"

"nor."

Da Tiantian replied: "And I have also asked the padding and lifting department, and they didn't do that either."

At this moment, Zhou Mo was sure that he was not dreaming.

After hanging up the phone, he muttered to himself, "It's actually past three o'clock."

Just as he finished speaking, a head popped up from the sofa.

Liu Shishi's eyes widened: "Is it really broken?"

Hugo yelled in the bathroom, "How much is broken?"

Wang Kai rushed out of the kitchen, holding a shovel in his hand: "What's broken?"

Zhou Mo: ...

Last night, four of us were having a blast watching TV. Later we opened a few bottles of wine and drank a few glasses of wine, all of us were quite drunk.

Zhou Mo simply let them stay there since there were plenty of rooms anyway.

As for Liu Shishi, she was arranged to live in the neighbor's room.

That's his house too.

After a moment, the people who saw the real data all felt unreal: "It's actually so high..."

"This is only the first episode, and the data is too outrageous." Hu Ge muttered to himself, and then said to Wang Kai: "Ah Kai, pinch me... Hey, I'm fine, A Kai, are you okay?"

Wang Kai was seen breathing heavily, with his eyes slightly red.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like being bitten by a zombie.

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Kai just had some blood rushing up his spine for a moment."

After hearing the explanation, Liu and Hu both realized that Wang Kai was too excited for the moment.

Sure enough, after a moment, Wang Kai regained his composure.

He said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Seeing this, Liu Shishi waved her hands to show that she didn't care. Instead, she laughed and said, "Brother Kai, your current state is very similar to when Lao Hu finished filming Chinese Paladin III."

Lao Hu: “Me?”

He recalled Wang Kai's expression just now: "Shishi, don't talk nonsense. This is the first time for Akai to experience this. After all, I have filmed "Chinese Paladin 1" before. I won't be so excited."

Zhou Mo looked at him with wide eyes: "Are you sure?"

Hugo was very confident: "Of course."

Seeing this, Zhou Mo silently opened the photo album on his phone.

After a while.

Hu, Liu and Wang looked at the familiar figure on the screen with strange expressions.

In the picture, Hugo was yelling wildly and running around the room with his limbs spread out like a monkey.

Zhou Mo: "Old Hu, this was your reaction the day you learned about the ratings of Immortal III. We were having dinner together, so I recorded it for you."

Liu Shishi: "Old Hu, is this your lack of excitement?"

Wang Kai added: "I'm really not excited. This is just crazy."

Hugo: ...

He waved his arms wildly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"How is it impossible? It's obviously you." Liu Shishi complained.

Hu Ge pointed at the screen and argued, "He slandered me... Can it be considered crazy when it comes to actors?"

Then, it was something like "experiential acting, speaking one's mind directly..."

The living room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. After the jokes were over, everyone started discussing the reasons for the skyrocketing ratings.

"It must be because of our hard work in publicity!" Liu Shishi raised his chin towards Zhou Mo, indicating that he had made a great contribution.

Wang Kai: "It's also thanks to Big Brother Cheng and Miss Jin. Feelings are really useful."

Hugo only agreed with half of it.

"The actors and the feelings are indeed useful, but they are not enough. The Legend of Sword and Fairy III had both. But if The Legend of Sword and Fairy III was released now, it would definitely not achieve such good results."

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "It should be the subject matter. There hasn't been a time-travel drama in the domestic market for a long time. Audiences are actually similar to cats. They are very curious. When they come across a new subject matter, they will definitely want to try it out first."

King Hu and the other two thought about it and agreed.

On the other side, Liu Shishi heard the word "cat" and suddenly remembered what her agent had told her some time ago: "Zhou Mo is training you like a cat. He will tease you a few times whenever he has nothing to do. Driven by curiosity, you will sooner or later become his shape, and then he will catch you and take you back to give birth to eighteen cubs."

This statement is too...

"Shishi, Shishi?"

"Ah?" Liu Shishi woke up as if from a dream.

"What happened to you just now? I called you for a long time but there was no response."

Liu Shishi blushed, "I just thought of being happy, ah no, something strange."

Zhou Mo subconsciously said: "Your wife gave birth to a child?"

Liu Shishi:?

Zhou Mo coughed lightly and said, "Forget it, let's get ready for breakfast. Don't let Brother Kai down."

After dinner, Zhou Mo waved his hand.

"Okay, now that the premiere results are out, you will definitely be busy from now on. I won't keep you here any longer. When you go back, take on the activities you need to do and run the announcements you need to run."

The opening score of "Myth" reached 3.69, and the ratings will most likely continue to rise in the future.

With the drama becoming increasingly popular, the actors will definitely cooperate with the promotion.

Whether it is for the reputation of the TV series or for the long-term development of the actors themselves, the crew members will invest a lot of energy and time.

As the two main actors, Liu Shishi and Hu Ge will definitely be busy for a long time in the future.

After hearing Zhou Mo's instructions, several people did not hesitate and left immediately when they arrived at their respective places.

A man of the world, not fussy about details.

Of course, Liu Shishi was the last one to leave.

She still has some video to shoot.

In addition, Zhu Yilong was not at home, and his family came to see him.

Zhou Mo explained the situation to him and told him not to indulge in his parents' tenderness but to get up and work immediately.

……

Once an entertainment company gets up and running, it is very efficient.

As soon as investors, TV stations, and entertainment companies got the data, they all started promoting the product at full capacity.

With a multi-pronged approach, news about "Myth" began to flood the screen.

"The first broadcast rate of the time-travel drama "Myth" was 3.69, breaking the record."

“The ratings for ‘Myth’ were amazing, and the interview received unanimous praise.”

At the same time, the companies of several leading actors also began to make efforts.

A few people returned to the company in the morning and the announcement came out in the afternoon.

"Hu Ge plays a costume drama again, and the stills have been leaked. Does the legendary Han Feizi look like this?"

"Always improving, Liu Shishi plays the leading female role."

"Zhu Yilong..."

"Zhang Ruoyun..."

Zhou Mo looked at their photos online and felt satisfied.

"Go ahead, go ahead. You are all mature actors now. You should know how to push yourself."

Close the webpage and return to the client of the station.

The crew members have started working hard, so naturally he has to start working as well.

As the director of a TV series, although he does not need to constantly appear in front of the media like actors to maintain popularity, he still needs to promote the TV series.

Fortunately, the editing of "The Myth" has been almost completed.

Only the final finishing touches remain.

Two hours later.

Zhou Mo turned off the red, circle-shaped video player software, looking dejected.

"Finally done."

I put the materials used for making the video back into the folder and just fastened my belt.

The chat group started to be flooded with messages.

I checked the time and found out that the third and fourth episodes of "The Myth" were about to be aired.

　I would like to consult some book friends. I just deduced the subsequent plot. If the protagonist shoots "Wushuang" in the future and Huang Silang is not used, do you think it is acceptable?
　　Also, I still wish you all a happy new year.

　　I humbly ask for collection, reading, and votes. Thank you all.
