After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 455 An Overwhelming Victory
time flies.

This weekend is normally a long weekend.

However, the entire team of "Everyone's Art" gave up their rest and came to the office to make final adjustments... Tonight, this new program will officially premiere!

Everyone was both nervous and excited.

In the words of editor-in-chief Dong Lan, this is a new type of program that she has never seen before. From the perspective of production logic, it is different from all other programs in the country.

Whether it works or not depends on tonight!

There's no need to be nervous.

Seeing that Hu Xiaochen was also tense, Zhou Haoran couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.

Hu Xiaochen bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Will our program be a success?"

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "Isn't it too late to ask now?"

Hu Xiaochen sighed, "We must succeed!"

"If it fails, I'll just quit."

Zhou Haoran was prepared.

With a way out, what is there to be afraid of?
Hu Xiaochen sighed and said, "We have a way out, but what about the other members of the production team? If this program fails, their future at work will be difficult."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "We really do look quite alike."

Hu Xiaochen asked, "What's wrong?"

"They're all responsible!"

"That's why they're said to be master and apprentice."

"Therefore, we must change the old model of talent training in television stations. Our program teams should not train all-round directors who can do everything from news gathering and editing to broadcasting. Instead, we should provide personalized and specialized training. The directing team should specialize in directing, the scriptwriting team should specialize in scriptwriting, and the post-production team should specialize in post-production."

Zhou Haoran's sense of responsibility required him to find a way out for everyone involved in "Everyone's Artistic Awakening".

Hu Xiaochen said softly, "I know what you mean."

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran glanced at her.

Hu Xiaochen whispered, "Only by specializing in a particular field can you switch careers. That way, if something unexpected happens in the future, it won't affect the whole team. If you're not well-regarded by your current employer, you can go to Teacher Tang and switch to television dramas. You can't work in film and television dramas if you're only good at 'reporting, editing, and broadcasting'."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "The domestic film and television industry is currently in a period of stagnation. In a few years, spring should come."

Hu Xiaochen laughed and said, "Could it be that we can make a movie?"

Zhou Haoran asked, "Why not?"

"what?"

Hu Xiaochen was stunned.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Now, you should focus on getting 'Everyone's Art' up and running. The second episode has already been recorded. As long as the ratings are guaranteed after the first episode airs, you can continue with this approach to get the show going. Then I can go and take care of other things."

Hu Xiaochen nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, go and try to scam Bill Gates!"

In the afternoon, a broadcast test was conducted.

no problem.

Tonight, "Everyone's Artistic Talent" will premiere promptly at 9 PM!
Half of the team members remained at their workplace.

Looking forward to it.

Dong Lan rushed back and quickly said, "I've found out. The entertainment channel hasn't changed its plans. 'Happy Family' will still air at 9 o'clock."

"It's alright, the ratings will tell!"

Zhou Haoran encouraged everyone.

Unfortunately, the current ratings system is still quite outdated, and it's impossible to check real-time viewership; we can only wait for the report next Monday.

The broadcast went smoothly without any technical glitches.

However, the actual viewership results remain to be seen.

So much so that on Sunday, everyone on the production team was on tenterhooks, just like waiting for college entrance exam results.

Monday.

Zhou Haoran was woken up early in the morning by Qiao Suiqing.

Around 8 a.m., I was dragged to work.

"There's still plenty of time!"

Zhou Haoran wanted to sleep in.

Qiao Suiqing urged him, "Hurry up, let's go check the ratings!"

Zhou Haoran said, "They won't be out until after ten o'clock!"

“Oh dear, it’s not past ten o’clock…” Qiao Suiqing drawled, knowing how to deal with him. “The ratings report is sent to the office around six or seven o’clock. The old procedure was that the station would hold a meeting after receiving the ratings report. Then there would be a meeting within the channel, and only after ten o’clock would the ratings report be sent to the program team.”

"Oh?"

Zhou Haoran immediately understood what he meant.

Qiao Suiqing said, "Everyone's getting impatient. Don't you know Director Zhang from the Taiwan Affairs Office? Go find him and get the ratings data back! Everyone's waiting for the results!"

"Row!"

Zhou Haoran then gained motivation.

When I got to the office, I went straight to the 10th floor and went to the office of Zhang Jianfei, the director of the Hongxingtai office.

"Director Zhang?" Zhou Haoran was somewhat surprised. "You're here so early? I thought you weren't here!"

Zhang Jianfei laughed and waved a document in her hand. "Is it for this?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and asked, "Is it a ratings chart?"

Zhang Jianfei said, "I've been paying attention too. Your 'Everyone's Art Up' is competing with the entertainment channel's 'Happy Family,' and now the whole station knows about it. The station director even specifically said to notify him immediately if there's any news."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Master Shan is also paying attention?"

“Everyone is watching closely!” Zhang Jianfei looked at him meaningfully. “I was just about to call the station director to tell him the result!”

Zhou Haoran asked, "What was the result?"

Zhang Jianfei smiled and said, "No rush." ​​"Hmm?"

Zhou Haoran hates this kind of thing the most. These leaders have some power and information advantage, and they like to deliberately keep things mysterious to show their authority.

Zhang Jianfei glanced down at her watch. "Yi Changping should be arriving soon too."

"Oh."

Zhou Haoran calmed down.

Zhang Jianfei looked at him with a half-smile, "How are you? Nervous?"

“There’s nothing to be nervous about,” Zhou Haoran said confidently. “It’s just like the college entrance exam. For true top students, exams are as easy as eating. Only those who lack ability get nervous.”

Zhang Jianfei called her secretary, handed him the document, and asked him to make one hundred copies.

The secretary took the document, quickly flipped through it, and glanced at it.

His expression was one of astonishment.

The expression on his face as he looked at Zhou Haoran was filled with disbelief.

Zhou Haoran remained calm.

I have some guesses.

Judging from the secretary's expression, the ratings battle between the two shows... seems to have resulted in a very lopsided comparison. There was no narrow victory; rather, one side held an overwhelming advantage.

It's hard to say who will win or lose.

Yi Changping arrived shortly afterward.

It's turbulent.

"Old Zhang!" Yi Changping strode in, his voice booming, "Where's the ratings chart? Bring it here so I can see it!"

Zhang Jianfei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go make a copy and give it to you in a bit."

Yi Changping said anxiously, "Just tell me the result!"

"Let's not rush it, shall we?"

Zhang Jianfei gave a strange look and glanced towards the sofa.

"Ok?"

Yi Changping then turned his gaze to the sofa, where he saw Zhou Haoran sitting with his legs crossed, reading the Wenhui Daily that had just been delivered that morning.

"Huh? Director Yi is here?"

Zhou Haoran then slowly looked up.

When Yi Changping saw him, he calmed down and composed himself, giving a faint "hmm." "I've seen the program you made. There's too much editing, too many trivial details, and it's too messy!"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Director Yi is an outsider, so it's normal that he doesn't understand. Nowadays, media programs have long passed the era of 'one-shot'. Director Zhang just said that the ratings are the highest standard for judging the quality of a program."

"Ok?"

The color of the Yi Changping surface changed slightly.

Judging from his tone, it seems like he already knows the news?
Zhang Jianfei quickly said, "I didn't say anything. I'll give you the ratings report after you all arrive."

Zhou Haoran was overjoyed when he saw Director Zhang's reaction.

That's all set!

If Yi Changping were to win a decisive victory, Zhang Jianfei wouldn't need to avoid any appearance of impropriety. His explanation was simply to prevent Yi Changping from taking his anger out on him.

Zhou Haoran laughed, "Do we still need to look at the ratings report? The difference between the two programs is huge! The audience isn't stupid; they all know which program is better and more exciting! Director Yi, I have a suggestion for you: change the broadcast date of 'Happy Family' to Sunday. Otherwise, every time the ratings are released, the two programs will be compared, and you'll be embarrassed every time, won't you?"

Yi Changping was startled, "Old Zhang?"

Zhang Jianfei was also terrified. "I don't know anything, and I haven't shown him the ratings report... Haoran, how can you say that without any evidence?"

Zhou Haoran said confidently, "Does this need any evidence? Director Zhang, you must have been watching TV at home on Saturday night, right? Did you watch 'Everyone's Art' or 'Happy Family'?"

Zhang Jianfei immediately felt guilty and comforted him, "Changping, this kid is young and impetuous. I haven't seen the ratings report either. We'll take a look when the secretary brings it over."

Yi Changping's face was ashen, and he was in a state of panic.

From Director Zhang's reaction, I also got a sense of something.

The situation is not good!
Soon, the secretary returned and reported, "Director, I've photocopied all the reports..."

"Quickly, give one copy to Director Yi and Producer Zhou each."

Zhang Jianfei regretted it a little; she should have known better than to keep Zhou Haoran in suspense and provoke him.

This kid is just as rumored.

It belongs to the hedgehog family.

Don't touch it!
Yi Changping must have lost his mind. Why did he have to provoke this kind of person? Was he just bored? Putting everything else aside, look at the Red Star Card project. How brilliantly did this guy run it? He's practically turned Red Star TV into the number one high-tech TV station in the country!

Fearing something might go wrong, Zhang Jianfei added, "Haoran, why don't you take the ratings report back to the production team and take a look?"

Zhou Haoran, on the contrary, was not in a hurry. He was leisurely and unhurried.

But then there was a loud "bang".

Look up.

Yi Changping angrily threw the ratings report on the ground, his face dark and his eyes filled with anger. He walked away with heavy steps.

Zhou Haoran's lips curled into a smile.

Open the report.

Find the Lifestyle channel, quickly scan it, and you'll find "Everyone's Artistic Journey".

The average viewership rating is 22.4%!

At the same time, it ranked first in the Harbour Channel, even surpassing the flagship program "Tell It Like It Is" on Crown TV.

Then find the entertainment channel.

The average viewership rating for "Happy Family" was 3.2%, and its ranking in the same time slot... was not included.

Only the top ten in the same period will be included in the statistics.

Not surprisingly!

It was an overwhelming victory!
