Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 201 Why is she everywhere?

Changsha, Mango TV Building.

Song Zhi got out of the car, followed by three or four people, all of whom were her management team.

When Taiyang Chuanhe opened, she was filming Gardenia Blossoms in Guangzhou. After she came back and met Yang Ming and signed the business contract, the company assigned her a complete team.

There are four people in total, including an executive agent, a publicity agent and two assistants, all women.

When she goes out now, she no longer has to drag her luggage and catch the bus alone like she did when filming "The Disguiser", but there is always someone to accompany her throughout the journey.

"Sister Rong."

Song Zhi called out to a middle-aged woman in her thirties beside her, who was her executive agent and was responsible for coordinating her daily schedule and work.

"What's wrong, Xiaozhi?" Sister Rong came closer and said in a very friendly manner.

She has been in the real estate industry for quite some time and has a decent network and professionalism.

However, she mostly did supporting work before, and Song Zhi was the first artist she followed independently.

Although the time they had known each other was not long, she thought that this girl had great potential and a good personality and temper, so she became close to her quickly.

Moreover, in addition to these obvious reasons, there have been rumors in the company that this girl has some intricate relationship with a certain shareholder.

Generally speaking, such rumors in the company are true in most cases, because they are often deliberately "spread" by insiders.

No matter whether it is true or false, Sister Rong will believe it seriously.

Anyway, the interests of both of them are linked to each other. The better she is, the better I will be.

"I want to ask, who else from the crew will be coming to today's show?" Song Zhi asked.

She came here today to participate in the recording of Mango TV's flagship program "Base Camp" to promote the new drama that has already started airing.

More than a week ago, "The Disguiser" officially started airing on Mango TV.

Although most of the leading actors are not famous, the film still attracted considerable attention thanks to the popularity of the male leads Hu Ge and Li Qin.

On the day of its premiere, the CSM50 ratings were 1.4, the national network ratings were 1.92, and the audience share was 5.92, ranking first in its time slot.

In the past two years, the ratings of TV dramas have been declining due to the impact of online dramas. Nowadays, being able to "break 1" is considered a good result.

Therefore, the premiere of "The Disguiser" was very successful, which is enough to show Hu Ge's appeal on the small screen and the audience of Mango TV.

However, a drama cannot be supported by actors alone. If you really want to attract audiences to watch it, you have to rely on the plot.

Over the years, there have been many dramas that started off strong but ended up weak.

So what do the audience think of the plot of "The Disguiser"? It's easy to tell from the ratings on the second day.

Generally speaking, the ratings of most TV series will fluctuate on the second day.

This is because the communication effect of the first day has not yet spread, and the audience who did not like the show after watching the first broadcast gave up directly, resulting in a certain data pullback.

In most cases, as long as there is no "cliff-like" drop of more than 20%, it is a normal phenomenon.

But The Pretender is different, it never declined at all.

On the second day of its broadcast, the national network ratings were 1.96 and the audience share was 6.1, continuing to lead all major satellite TV stations during the same period with the first place.

On the third day, the show was suspended for a day because it was broadcasting CCTV's evening gala commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. However, it also gave the audience time to recommend the show and for word-of-mouth to develop.

On the fourth day of the show's resumption, the national network ratings soared to 2.3, with an audience share of 7.3.
At this point, compared with the TV series broadcasted by several other satellite TV stations at the same time, "The Disguiser" has not only taken the lead, but has also surpassed them by a large margin.

At the same time, the Douban score of this drama has also come out. With a high score of 8.8, it is second only to those previous masterpieces.

As for the theme of "spy war drama", it has been a long time since "The Disguiser" that there has not been a win-win in both reputation and popularity.

Some dramas have high ratings, but they are relatively niche and generally not very popular, such as "Before the Dawn", "The Cliff", "All Quiet in Peking" and so on in previous years.

There are also some dramas that have high ratings but very bad reputations, mainly these are a series of "god dramas".

Therefore, it is particularly rare to find a spy drama like "The Disguiser" that is both highly popular and well-received.

The drama became popular, and so did the characters and actors in it.

Seeing the popularity of the leading actors soaring, the base camp, which has always been jokingly known as "invite whoever is popular", naturally could not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the popularity and quickly invited several leading actors to participate in a program.

Hearing Song Zhi's question, Sister Rong looked at her phone records: "Besides you, there are Jin Dong, Wang Kai, Wang Ou, Liu Yijun and Li Qin."

"Li Qin...Teacher Li is here too?" Song Zhi asked without thinking.

"Yes." Sister Rong looked at her puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just haven't seen you for a long time, I'm a little happy." Song Zhi forced a smile. Really, why is she everywhere!

When I arrived at the base camp recording studio and was about to go to the waiting room, I unexpectedly ran into fans in the audience passage on the other side.

"Manli!"

"Baby Manli!"

"Baby Manli, mommy loves you!"

"..."

A dozen female fans clung to the guardrail and shouted loudly.

This was the first time Song Zhi encountered this situation and he was a little at a loss.

There had been audiences watching in the theater before, but few were so enthusiastic, and especially so enthusiastic towards her alone.

Although he was calling out the name of the character in the play, Song Zhi still felt like crying.

Sister Rong, who was standing by, was quite experienced. Seeing her artist standing there in a daze, she quickly whispered, "It's still early, you can go over and say hello, but don't get too close. Also, if a fan sends you something, don't accept anything except the envelope."

After hearing the instructions, Song Zhi came back to his senses. He nodded gratefully to Sister Rong, then suppressed his emotions and interacted with fans with a smile on his face.

But it didn't take long, about four or five minutes, before she was pulled away by Sister Rong.

"Hey, Sister Rong, look, there are real fans who wrote to me!"

Song Zhi held up two fancy decorated envelopes and said happily to his executive agent.

"I know. I am so happy."

Sister Rong said "disdainfully" with a smile, then took the two letters, opened them carefully, took out the stationery inside and took a look.

Seeing that they were indeed just flattery from fans, he rewrapped it and returned it to Song Zhi.

"Sister Rong, what are you doing..."

"Check it." Sister Rong said, "From now on, any gifts from fans should be checked by me or them first, to avoid any problems. Especially food, try not to eat it."

Song Zhi lightly exclaimed, "Is it really that serious?"

"You never go too far wrong."

"Okay, it's up to you."

When he arrived at the waiting room, Song Zhi first went to say hello to He Jiong.

"Hello, Mr. He."

"Hey, Xiao Song is here." He Jiong said with his usual enthusiasm.

Song Zhi had just starred in his movie, so he was particularly familiar with him.

Maybe he knew what happened at the door just now, He Jiong said with a smile: "Really, if I had known that your drama would be so popular after it was broadcast, I shouldn't have let your character be offline so early."

Song Zhi's role in the movie is the heroine's roommate. Half an hour into the film, he and two other roommates were killed in a car accident.

Song Zhi was originally chosen to act in the film mainly to give Meng Bai some face. After all, it was just a supporting role, so it didn't matter who played it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as "The Pretender" was broadcast, the popularity of the character "Yu Manli" skyrocketed, and Song Zhi also became popular.

To be honest, the person who benefited the most from the popularity of "The Disguiser" was not the male lead Hu Ge, as he was already very popular.

It’s not Li Qin either. Her character has only recently appeared, and her current role in the plot is not as large as that of “A Xiang”, the maid in “Ming Mansion”.

The ones who really benefited the most were Jin Dong, who played "Big Brother Minglou", Wang Ou, who played the "bad woman villain", and then the "mysterious and cute" Yu Manli.

That is Song Zhi.

She has a tragic life story, charming temperament, beautiful appearance, and superb skills. Whether it is a male or female audience, there are points that can attract them.

The show hadn’t aired yet, so I hadn’t felt anything yet. But as her popularity grew, she finally accumulated a group of fans.

Although most of them are still fans of the character.

After greeting He Jiong, Song Zhi went on to exchange greetings with Jin Dong, Wang Ou and others who had arrived earlier.

Then, there was Li Qin who was sitting beside him and looking at him.
