Chapter 124 "Da Ming Palace Ci"

"Carry Love to the End" premiered on Beijing TV Station and was a great success.

In just one week, the highest ratings in the region reached a terrifying 65%, and it almost exceeded 20% nationwide.

With the increasing popularity of televisions, watching television programs has become an indispensable part of ordinary people's daily entertainment.

More and more viewers are stopping in front of the TV, and major advertisers are willing to rush to send money to the TV station.

But if you want to make money, you have to rely on your own abilities.

The main thing to look at is the ratings.

In order to compete for ratings, major TV stations have also begun to launch high-quality content at any cost.

Audiences have a lot of choices, which makes it almost impossible for one company to dominate with ratings of more than 90% as before.

The ratings of "Love to the End" are already very scary.

I have the feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance.

It also won the ratings championship at the same time!

Of course, the ratings statistical methods these days have great limitations, and the ratings data are often inaccurate and can only be used as a reference value.

But even if there are discrepancies in the data, even if the water is squeezed out, the remaining data is enough to make "Love to the End" popular in the mainland.

This also made several leading actors of this drama become famous in one fell swoop, including Gao Yuanyuan, Guo Xiaodong and others, who also benefited a lot.

Xu Jinglei, in particular, was directly promoted to "the nation's first love".

Qi Wei is already a king-level singer who is popular all over the country. This drama did not bring much fame to Qi Wei.

At most it serves as the icing on the cake.

There is not much benefit in terms of fame, but it does not mean that this drama has not brought benefits to Qi Wei.

First of all, financially, the popularity of "Love to the End" has caused countless local TV stations to wave their money and compete to buy the second and third round rebroadcast rights of this drama.

Coupled with additional revenue such as future video tapes, the total revenue will exceed the original estimate for this drama.

Qi Wei's original investment of 1 million yuan can at least triple.

Although it may take a year or more to collect profits, in terms of film and television investment, this is already a commendable success story.

This makes the success of Qiwei Film and Television Company another solid step forward.

Of course, the biggest benefit is that Qi Wei's current value has been fully recognized by the film and television circles.

Except for Xu Jinglei, the main actors in the drama "Carry Love to the End" are either new recruits or unknown.

Even Xu Jinglei, although she has already appeared in several dramas since her debut and is somewhat famous, is actually not much different from others across the country.

They are all similar, except Qi Wei.

Many people even believe that the reason why this drama became so popular is because of Qi Wei's participation.

Qi Wei's extremely high popularity made this drama attract a lot of attention even before it was aired, and this was also reflected in the extremely high ratings when this drama premiered.

It gave the show an almost perfect start.

The continuous popularity brought by Qi Wei, coupled with the quality of the drama is not bad, and the plot can attract and retain people, so the ratings of this drama have always been high.

There is even a rising trend.

And what does this mean?

This shows that Qi Wei can guarantee the ratings!

This makes many people in the industry envious of the first "Carry Love to the End" to try something new.

Many people no longer hesitated and immediately and decisively sent film and television invitations to Qi Wei.

Even though Qi Wei's salary has gone up, it has gone up several levels.

There are countless small crews, and there are also many large crews. The film and television invitations on the desk of Qi Wei's office have piled up like a mountain.

Everyone wants to try their luck in Qi Wei.

However, Qi Wei's work this year has already been fully arranged, and the work for most of next year has also been arranged, so it is difficult to squeeze out extra time.

There is no special need, Qi Wei does not plan to participate in other film and television companies' dramas for the time being.

Wang Jinghua is still in Wanwan helping Jay Chou and Jia Jingwen handle matters. She cannot come back for the time being, so her beautiful assistant Li Xue has become her temporary manager.

Qi Wei asked her to handle this matter, and politely declined them one by one while paying attention.

"It seems like we need to hire a few more assistants to help her take care of her worries."

The company is growing vigorously, and the business is increasing. Seeing that Li Xue has been so busy during this period, and is already a little overwhelmed, Qi Wei thought with distress.

I couldn't help but think of the beautiful lady surnamed Lin whom I met during the roadshow for my new album in Wanwan.

She is indeed quite suitable as she has a high degree of education. After I extended the invitation to her, things seemed to have made some progress.

Of course, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. You have to make multiple preparations and recruit a few more people.

"Love to the End" achieved excellent results, which made director Zhang Yibai overjoyed. He continued to work hard and increased efforts to promote this drama.

But Qi Wei couldn't follow the crew to promote the show, he still had his own things to be busy with.

When Qi Wei returned to Beijing, it had been less than two weeks since the new album was released.

Generally speaking, a new album release needs to be promoted for at least a month.

What's more, Qi Wei was in Hong Kong and Taiwan before and had not personally participated in the promotion of the new specialty in the mainland.

Especially two weeks after the release of the new album, the sales of genuine copies have been severely impacted by piracy, there has been a more obvious decline, and it has begun to become precarious.

It is very necessary for Qi Wei to personally participate in the propaganda.

Qi Wei only rested for two days after returning to Beijing. After gathering with several other forest teachers, he immediately participated in the promotion of the new specialty in the mainland.

Various publicity announcement activities and book signings in various places are also arranged.

A new round of busyness has begun.

Soon, the two-week publicity came to a busy end.

Hard work pays off, and Qi Wei's personal participation in publicity has had a very obvious effect.

Although it is impossible to stop the overall trend of genuine sales declining over time, the magnitude of the decline is still acceptable, at least it has not cut sales in half.

The original sales of the new album in the Mainland in one month finally succeeded in exceeding 1.5 million copies.

This achievement also broke various sales records of Qi Wei's previous albums.

Congratulations.

After finishing the publicity in various places, when Qi Wei just returned to the capital and had no time to rest, someone came to visit him.

"Director Zhao, you are fine."

The visitor is none other than Zhao Baogang, the director of "Never Rest in Eyes".

Qi Wei politely extended his hand to him.

"The same goes for you. Congratulations on your new album's success." He congratulated while shaking hands.

"Thanks."

A smiling face greeted him as he sat down, and after a few more pleasantries, Qi Wei said directly:

"Director Zhao, my affairs have come to an end for the time being. I can join the team on the 20th. I wonder how your arrangements are going?"

"I have made arrangements here, and you can join the team at any time."

"That would be great."

Zhao Baogang could feel a sense of fatigue on Qi Wei's body.

After all, Qi Wei was someone he valued, and he was always paying attention to Qi Wei's movements. He knew that during this period, Qi Wei had a very hard time traveling around the country to promote, and he often appeared in this city in the morning and in another city at night.

Being able to sleep four or five hours a day is already a very luxurious thing for Qi Wei.

The mainland is not a palm-sized place like Wanwan, so the journey on the road is already very tiring.

He said with concern: "You don't have to be in such a hurry. It doesn't matter if you join the group in June. You can take a good rest and adjust your condition during this period."

Qi Wei shook his head, forced a smile, and said: "Two days of rest is enough. There is nothing wrong with my body, and I am already prepared. I will not let you down."

"I have also watched your new drama, and I am very satisfied with your performance in it. I know you are a very dedicated person, but there is really no need to be in such a hurry. Just adjust well. I hope you can show your best performance by then.

Good condition.”

"But if I join the cast in June, it will affect the filming of my next movie and even my work plan for this year."

For the filming of "Never Close Eyes", Qi Wei needs to leave a three-and-a-half-month schedule, but the launch of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" in September cannot be postponed for too long.

This is also the reason why Qi Wei wants to join the group before June.

"Don't worry, I guarantee that I can finish filming your scene in three months for you to finish. You can leave the crew before September and it will not affect your subsequent film shooting."

"Since you said so, you are the director and you have said it, so I will follow your request. Thank you."

There was no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace, and all the matters discussed could be resolved on the phone. Qi Wei did not believe that Zhao Baogang came in person just for this matter.

There must be another purpose.

Sure enough, before Qi Wei could ask, Zhao Baogang said directly:

"I don't know if you know that Director Li Shaohong is preparing a TV series called "Ci of the Ming Dynasty". Are you interested in investing in it?"
