Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 393: Penguin Video in Dilemma

After a week of hard work, the 24-hour subscriptions of The Return of the Condor Heroes fell below the 2 mark for the first time.

This is almost Zhou Hao's worst result since he entered the industry.

The power of online article thunder points is well-deserved.

As soon as the news leaked, almost the entire online literature circle joined in watching the show.

In the many years of development of online literature, there have been many great writers who have committed suicide, but Zhou Haotou is the first one who is so stubborn and plays so extravagantly.

With just one book, he completely destroyed his T0 status in the industry.

That's not just self-destruction and falling from the altar, it's simply suicide!

Book fans and readers cursed and sighed at the same time, saying that he could have become a great writer, so why did he insist on committing suicide?
As long as he doesn't do anything weird, the books he writes are really good!
Those high-ranking colleagues were secretly delighted: This industry must have a flagship figure, and now that Zhou Hao has fallen, isn’t this the opportunity?

He can take his place!
And those people in the entertainment industry who had grudges against Zhou Hao were celebrating at this moment!
Before this, everyone tacitly agreed on one thing - the reason why Zhou Hao dared to speak freely in the entertainment industry without any scruples was because he had a way out and was not afraid of being banned.

The online literature circle is his retreat.

However, now, this retreat has been cut off by his own hands!

If I make you crazy, will you still be crazy?
Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little talent?
The severity of the situation even made Zhang Hong a little worried. "Can you be quiet for a few days? If this continues, I will have to raise the salaries of the entire PR team. The workload is really too heavy."

"It's okay. I know what's going on." Zhou Hao said calmly, "Let them criticize if they want. Time will tell whether this book is a classic or just trash."

Seeing his confident look, Zhang Hong was speechless.

Firstly, she really didn't know much about online literature, and it was a taboo for an outsider to give advice to insiders; secondly, Zhou Hao's operations and judgments had never gone wrong so far, so it was difficult for her to object.

Thirdly...it's not the end of the road yet.

When darkness falls in one direction, brightness rises in another. Although the situation of online literature is very bad, the trends of "Nirvana in Fire" and "Descendants of the Dragon" are so hot!

Although there was a controversy over VIP grading in the middle, this could not stop the viewing frenzy created by "Nirvana in Fire".

It’s just that more and more viewers have moved to Su Provincial Satellite TV.

Ten days after the show premiered, Jiangsu Satellite TV announced a piece of news that shocked the entire network - as of now, the ratings for "Nirvana in Fire" have exceeded 2, reaching 2.07%.

After four years, this is the first TV series on Jiangsu Satellite TV to have a viewership of over 2!

In this era when audience segmentation is extremely serious, it is already difficult for local TV stations to get a viewership rating of more than 2. Even on CCTV, there are not enough works that can break 2 every year!

And this 2.07 was obtained while there was still Penguin Video diversion, so it is full of value!

There is another set of equally frightening data - the audience share in the same period was 11.79%.

If the ratings indicator is just an individual's beauty, then the data on audience share is truly "outshining the whole show".

All other satellite and local TV stations' prime time theaters, even CCTV's theater, were all blew away by this drama.

After seeing this data, those satellite stations that had missed out on broadcasting "Nirvana in Fire" are regretting it so much.

If I had known this earlier, I would have added another million!
At this moment, the most panicked one is Penguin Video.

With the precipitous drop in on-demand volume and constant "reminders" from relevant departments, the company finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

This matter even attracted the attention of the head office, and we received several calls a day urging us to resolve it quickly... There was no other way, if we didn't resolve it even the head office's employees would be criticized!

After being woken up by this bucket of cold water, everyone gradually began to calm down and realized that they were indeed a little too impatient before.

If you cut the leeks too hastily, it is easy to backfire. There are already lessons learned from the past, but you still fall into the same pit...

But even though we have realized the problem, it is not easy to solve it now.

To the outside world, you can just apologize and refund the money with a thick face and it will be embarrassing at most.

The problem was mainly internal. This wave of arbitrary and unilateral operations directly offended Shanhai Film and Television and Zhou Haoquan.

The situation on Shanhai Film and Television's side is relatively fine, they haven't said anything harsh so far, but the situation on Zhou Hao's side is more troublesome, they are almost on the verge of an open break.

This kind of relationship is hard to mend.

But in this chain of cooperation, Zhou Hao is the most indispensable link.

After two years of cooperation, everyone has long realized that Zhou Hao's control over the script and direction of the work is the key to achieving brilliant results.

It doesn’t really matter who directs the film.

If Zhou Hao really quits, then this wave will be a huge loss!

There's nothing you can do. You can only remedy the trouble you caused yourself.

After several days of phone calls being rejected, the president of Penguin Video had no choice but to personally lead his team to Shanghai and go to Jinghong Studio.

However, the only person they could see was Zhang Hong; Zhou Hao never showed up at all.

Zhang Hong’s reply also made them very desperate.

"You guys go back. I'm just working for him. I can't influence his decision."

"But……"

"Don't say but." Zhang Hong frowned and said, "You should know what kind of personality he has. From Huaban.com to MTV Fengyunbang, who has he spoiled? Why do you think you will be an exception?"

"And I personally hate your behavior. You treat us like air before doing anything, and then come over to tell stories and play sympathy after you get into trouble... Sorry, we don't buy it."

"Zhou Hao's opinion is my opinion. If you want to cooperate, go directly to Shanhai. Whether Zhou Hao wants to continue to cooperate with Shanhai is a matter between us and Shanhai."

"Please come back."

After being rejected, the penguins had no choice but to leave in disappointment and went to Shanhai Film and Television instead.

However, Peter Lam's response made them even more desperate.

"I've already said that Zhou Hao is my partner, not my subordinate. I can't order him to do anything."

"In addition, I hope that your company will consider our independent theater proposal as soon as possible, and it would be best if you can give us a clear response as soon as possible."

These cold words made the penguins look ashen.

This time, the attempt to steal a chicken ends up with a loss of the rice. Originally, they could have still cooperated with Shanhai, but now this independent theater is inevitable.

If we don’t agree, we might even lose Shanhai as a partner.

But if we agree... once the brand of this independent theater is established, it will be difficult to bundle it and suck its blood later.

And when it comes to renewing the contract in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle...

What a dilemma!
Just when the Penguin was in a state of panic, a bombshell news came out of nowhere and shocked the entire Internet.

The pass rate of programs in this year's Spring Festival Gala rehearsal hit a record low!
