Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

"Minister, have some tea."

After Zhongshan Daran returned to the office, someone came in to make him a cup of tea.

But Zhongshan Daran doesn't want to drink anything at all now, and his mind is full of thinking about how to get a TV drama script that can fight against Lin Daoqiu.

"Do you think the script written by those screenwriters can beat Lin Daoqiu's "General Affairs Second Division"?"

Zhongshan Daran looked at several section chiefs under him and asked.

And when he finished asking, all the people on the scene showed embarrassing expressions, and some even lowered their heads and dared not look into Zhongshan Daran's eyes.

"Not only do you think it is impossible, but I also think it is impossible, but what we have to do is to make the impossible possible. Now you have to do everything possible to find a script that can get high ratings, no matter how much it costs. Money is fine, I want the script."

Zhongshan Daran almost uttered the words in a roaring manner at the end, and the section chiefs responded directly, because they didn't know what to say otherwise.

Compared with the confrontation between TBS and Fuji TV, Neon TV is quite deserted. Even this time, everyone thinks that the battle is between Fuji TV and TBS, and Neon TV has become a show-watcher. audiences alike.

As the president of Neon TV, Zhengli Hirano is naturally not an incompetent person. He has also seen the delicate situation of Neon TV. If one is not good, he may be pushed to the edge. President Li wanted to see it, so he summoned a few cronies over and chatted with them about it.

"What do you think of the recent battle between Fuji TV and TBS?"

The executive director, the head of the production department, and several high-level executives sat around President Zhengli. After hearing what he said, everyone showed a solemn expression.

"President, this is not a good thing for our TV station. Now everyone's attention is on Fuji TV and TBS. Although the ratings on our side have not plummeted, I found that the recent time slots The audience ratings have dropped slightly, I believe it must be related to this matter."

"If things go on like this, we may be squeezed out even worse, so President, you must find a way to reverse the current decline as soon as possible, otherwise, if this continues, some of next year's advertisers may go to Fuji TV Or go to TBS, then we'll be in trouble."

The ratings of TV stations are directly related to their income, and a large amount of income naturally comes from advertising. Once the ratings decline steadily, next year's advertisers will definitely choose TV stations with higher ratings to cooperate with. Neon TV I am afraid that the income here will start to shrink.

"What do you think we should do now? Do you also participate in this war?"

It’s not that President Zhengli doesn’t want to get involved, but Fuji TV has Lin Daoqiu in charge. TV series, half of the country is considered rare.

As for Neon TV, although there are occasional excellent TV dramas, they are still not comparable to Fuji TV or even TBS, so even if they have this idea, they don’t have the strength. Li Hirano will definitely be happy until he goes to bed laughing at night.

"Even if we want to participate, how do we compare with Fuji TV and TBS? Even if we spend a lot of money, it may be difficult to compare with them. I am afraid that the final income and expenditure will be very ugly, so I think it is better to be cautious."

"President, although we may be marginalized, once we get involved, if the ratings come out bad in the end, that kind of blow will be even bigger for us, so I think it's better not to act rashly. , Just go at our original pace, as for the battle between Fuji TV and TBS, let’s just watch, there is no need to get involved.”

This is both an opportunity and a trap. Zhengli Hirano does not understand this truth, but he can’t eat this poisonous candy. Whether it is marginalized or the ratings are ugly, neither is Zhengli The result Hirano hoped to see, but if he didn't participate this time, the reputation of Neon TV Station might be hit hard.

"Although I know this is difficult to do, and it is very difficult to succeed, but I feel that if I don't try it, I will definitely not have any good results in the end. Even if the ratings will be ugly, at least We have also earned enough discussion for several months, the biggest fear of the TV station is that no one pays attention, this is the most painful thing."

Zhengli Hirano is very clear that if Neon TV does not participate in this battle this time, then during the period from the preparation to the end of the broadcast of "Second General Affairs Division", the most discussed topic must be "Second General Affairs Division" and TBS. As for the TV series that come to fight in the ring, as for what Neon TV is broadcasting, I am afraid that no one cares about it, so the best way is to participate in this battle. Even if you lose in the end, at least you can still have some discussion.

Even if it accidentally got a good ratings, the Neon TV station will become famous because of this battle, and turn around the previous decline.

"Is it really worth it?"

What Zhengli Hirano said sounds reasonable, but the problem is that the risk of doing so is too great. All the middle and high-level executives at the scene showed hesitant expressions. It's not that they don't want to fight with Fuji TV and TBS, but They don't think they have such ability, and if they lose badly by then, wouldn't it be a big loss.

"I'll take charge of this matter personally. I'm going to collide head-on with Fuji TV and TBS in this drama in the beginning of spring, so that everyone knows that Neon TV is not something that can be ignored."

Zhengli Hirano made a decision directly, without waiting for the support of the people below, but since he has already said so, those middle and high-level officials naturally dare not object to his opinion. However, Zhengli Hirano just chose one of the two options, which is neither good nor bad.

However, since Zhengli Hirano took the initiative to take this burden, everyone is happy to see the success. If the ratings of the new drama do not perform well, Zhengli Hirano must bear the greatest responsibility, and their responsibility is relatively large. It's much lighter. Since someone has already taken the blame, everyone has nothing to worry about.

"We support the president's decision."
