. . .
More than half a year has passed in 2024. The ratings of Yancheng TV this year are much worse than last year. Especially the ratings of this year's newly produced Dage program are only a fraction of those of Xinan Satellite TV. The ratings of various entertainment programs are higher than those of Xinan Satellite TV. The difference is more than one level from previous years, which has led to more difficulties and troubles in this year's investment promotion. It is expected that the amount of advertising investment this year will be less than 70% of last year. As the deputy director of the office of the Satellite TV Channel Center, Deng Sijia has to do this every day. Everyone is worried.
"Come in." When she heard the knock on the door, Deng Sijia, who was working with a serious face, raised her head and relaxed her stiff shoulders.
His staff walked in: "Director Deng, Director Liu just said that a temporary meeting will be held in the conference room within ten minutes. I came here to inform you."
"Okay, I understand, you go out first." Deng Sijia said in a serious tone.
After her subordinates left her office, Deng Sijia sighed and glanced at the news on her computer that Xia Haoyang Studio would be filming a TV series. Then she picked up the notebook and pen where she had recorded the events. She also muted her cell phone and closed her eyes for a moment in deep thought. After a few minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of his office and walked to the conference room with his head held high.
The meeting was chaired by Director Liu of the office. The main issue involved was the decline in Yancheng TV ratings this year, which led to a decline in investment: "This year's situation is very serious, even more difficult than the epidemic years. Can you tell us what's good about it?" Is there a solution?"
Everyone in the conference room lowered their heads and remained silent.
Director Liu looked over one by one. No one dared to look at Director Liu, but Deng Sijia kept writing something in the notebook. Director Liu spread his brows and said with a smile: "Xiao Deng, tell me, what can I do?" Is it a good idea?"
Hearing Director Liu call her name, Deng Sijia raised her head, glanced at everyone in the conference room, and then stood up.
"No, no, Xiao Deng, you can just sit down and talk." Director Liu's tone was very gentle, with a smile on his face.
Then Deng Sijia sat down again, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in her unique clear voice: "This year, the ratings of our station's entertainment programs have dropped by more than 20%, and a few programs have even dropped by 5%. The newly produced column "Popular Songs" only had a fraction of the ratings of similar programs on Xinan Satellite TV..."
"Xiao Deng, interrupt me. Everyone here should know what you said. The problem is obvious. What I want to know now is whether there is a solution." Although Director Liu's attitude is still gentle, he has lost his toughness. Start with a smiley face.
"To put it bluntly, the ratings of entertainment programs rely on popularity. Audiences like to see popular celebrities on the show. As for a singing program like "Pop Songs", if the most popular celebrities at the moment cannot participate, the audience will definitely not pay attention. ." Deng Sijia gritted her teeth and said seriously.
"Xiao Deng, who do you want to invite to "Popular Songs"?" Director Liu asked slowly.
"The Tara girl group from Xia Haoyang Studio." Deng Sijia looked at Director Liu seriously and said firmly.
Hearing Deng Sijia's words, everyone else in the conference room was stunned. They looked at each other without speaking, and then looked at Director Liu in unison. Director Liu was also slightly interrupted by Deng Sijia's words. He was originally planning to take a sip of tea. After being stunned, he still took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "There is no problem in banning bad artists. No need to compromise."
Deng Sijia said anxiously: "If it is a bad artist, there is no need to say anything about banning it. But Director Liu, Xia Haoyang himself is not a bad person. However, he has repeatedly rejected our program, but it is said that Xia Haoyang has social fears." , since last year, he has not just refused our program, but refused to accept all programs, including Xinan Satellite TV, which he has happily cooperated with. He has not appeared on any program for almost 2 years since October last year. .So, Director Liu, if Xia Haoyang is just afraid of society, he is not a bad artist."
"If you speak out, you must speak loudly. Since we have banned this young man Xia Haoyang because of his misdeeds, what does it mean to invite him now? Yancheng TV station cannot become the laughing stock of contradictory words." Director Liu's face was obviously unhappy.
Deng Sijia continued: "How about we continue to ban Xia Haoyang, but only ban him personally, or invite Tara to participate in our program?"
Director Liu thought for a while and shook his head: "I was the one who publicly said in the media that Xia Haoyang and his company would be banned, so of course his company's artists would be included in the ban. It's not appropriate. Are there any other suggestions?"
Deng Sijia sighed inwardly and said nothing more.
Director Liu saw that Deng Sijia seemed a little moody, so he calmly said: "Our personal reputations don't really matter, but the image of Yancheng TV Station is very important. Comrade Xia Haoyang has some talents, but it is a fact that he did not respect our TV station in the first place. , Xiao Deng should also be very clear. Now you say he is afraid of society? What is social fear? He is different every day. In media reports, all the privacy of the entertainment industry is exposed in the flashlight of the media. What is society afraid of? You are afraid of society. Why are you still in the entertainment industry? This is a joke."
After a pause, he continued: "A well-established star in the entertainment industry. What happened in Hedong and Hexi in the past three years is very normal in the entertainment industry. No one is indispensable. This year he is extremely popular, and next year he may be a squatter." Prison has a bad reputation. Don’t do this too much in the entertainment industry. Tea is the most real experience in the entertainment industry. A young comrade with a personality like Xia Haoyang will fall over sooner or later. It is definitely a wise move to draw a clear line with him. , so don’t mention this kind of thing again.”
"Entertainment stars, Xia Haoyang is not the only one in the entertainment industry. There are always other stars who are liked by ordinary people and have excellent reputations. Xiao Deng, you go find other suitable stars and try to get other outstanding singers to join. Our program, by the way, or some athletes, our country had so many athletes who won medals at the Asian Games last year, and the audience in our country loves athletes more than ordinary celebrities. See if you can invite some suitable athletes to join. What do you think of our program, or an entertainment program specially produced for athletes?" Director Liu glanced at the audience and said calmly.
"Director Liu has a good idea. It is most appropriate to select some athletes that people like to be on the show. The image of the athletes is healthy and sunny, which is incomparable to those bad actors. This method is good and practical." Deputy Director Luo of the Planning Department agreed. said.
"Director Liu thinks more deeply and comprehensively than we do. In terms of cost, athletes are far cheaper than ordinary celebrities. They have a healthy image and reasonable cost. They are indeed a better choice." Yang from the Investment Promotion Department The deputy director also strongly agreed.
Although Deng Sijia felt that making peace with Xia Haoyang and inviting Tara to the show was the best option, but since it couldn't be achieved, perhaps only Director Liu's opinion was of some reference among the existing methods, so she nodded in agreement.
Seeing everyone's unanimous approval, Director Liu's originally serious face smiled slightly, blew the tea cup gently, and took a sip of the fine Biluochun, fragrant, bitter and sweet after the bitterness, the charm of good tea lies in the sweetness afterward. superior.
Director Liu mentally recited the name Xia Haoyang for a while.
"That incident" happened not long after. Among the people who were most serious and fierce against Xia Haoyang and Fat Cat Studio was Director Liu of Yancheng TV Station. Many times, some people's hostility or revenge are beyond your imagination. , in Xia Haoyang's eyes, and in Deng Sijia's eyes, the conflict between the two parties seemed a bit ridiculous, and could be put aside and alleviated. But in the eyes of some people, this kind of thing seems to be an unforgivable sin and cannot be forgiven. So where does this deep hatred come from? No one knows, no one can tell clearly, maybe this is the complexity and diversity of human nature and people's hearts.
At this time, Xia Haoyang sneezed. He didn't know who had such deep hostility towards him, and he thought that someone was missing him. "I don't know who is missing me. I can't help it. Who made me feel like this?" Handsome and talented?" Fatty Xia said to himself.
