I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"You're such a cheapskate." Da Tiantian rolled her eyes and pulled Wang Zhi, saying, "Let's go out for a late-night snack and ignore him."

"and many more."

Seeing that Da Tian Tian and Wang Zhi were about to leave, Zeng Li immediately called out.

"Sister Li! What's wrong?"

“I have a mahjong set over there, so the four of us can go play mahjong,” Zeng Li said.

Actually, she wanted to take this opportunity to get the two women to help comfort Mei Ting, and then play mahjong to forget her sadness.

"Okay!"

Da Tian Tian's eyes lit up.

"Come here, help me get her to my side."

Mei Ting is now clinging to her, and she has difficulty even walking.

Da Tiantian and Wang Zhi quickly went over and helped Mei Ting leave Cheng Sheng's house.

After they left, Cheng Sheng closed the door immediately.

"Dog man."

Hearing the door close, Da Tiantian turned around and greeted Cheng Sheng.

Zeng Li couldn't help but laugh, and she understood why Cheng Sheng had spanked Da Tian Tian's bottom last time.

Just for saying that, she wanted to spank Da Tian Tian's bottom.

……

The next day, Hunan TV posted the ratings for "Descendants of the Sun" online.

The first episode immediately topped the domestic viewership ratings with a 14.5% rating.

This achievement directly broke the domestic viewership record for the first episode in the past two years. In the second episode that followed, the viewership rating soared to 15.5%, an increase of 1% from the first episode. This allowed "Descendants of the Sun" to easily break the 15% viewership mark after only two episodes.

This turned Hunan TV into a sea of ​​joy.

Other TV stations were extremely envious, secretly regretting that if they had known the ratings would soar so quickly, they would have taken the show no matter the cost.

Based on the show's ratings, the advertising revenue could increase several times over.

Television stations typically rely on paid viewing and advertising revenue.

Of course, there are other ways to generate income, such as copyright sales and sales of related products, but these are not the main sources of income.

Ratings fees: This is the most direct source of revenue for TV dramas.

Television stations attract viewers by broadcasting dramas, and viewers need to pay a certain subscription fee to watch them.

This revenue model is more common abroad, but in China, due to the public service nature of television stations, the viewing fees are not high.

Advertising revenue: This is one of the main sources of income for TV dramas.

Businesses need to insert advertisements into TV dramas in order to promote their products.

Television stations generate revenue by airing these advertisements.

There is no standard for advertising fees; it generally depends on the quality of the show. If it's a hit show, then the cost of inserting commercials will be higher.

Although people are now particularly sensitive to blatant product placement, TV dramas can seamlessly integrate products into the storyline without making viewers feel annoyed.

Many TV dramas even insert advertisements directly in the middle of the show. If you love watching dramas, you can still accept it, so this has become a common promotional tactic for advertisers.

All production companies hope that their TV dramas will have high viewership ratings, because high viewership ratings generally mean higher advertising exposure, which in turn means higher advertising revenue.

The first two episodes of "Descendants of the Sun" have already seen explosive viewership ratings, demonstrating that this advertising sponsorship will undoubtedly elevate the show's ratings significantly. The issue isn't whether it's expensive or not; advertisers are scrambling to secure it.

After all, there are only so many ad slots available.

The show's ratings soared on television, and its simultaneous premiere on Youku also quickly became a sensation, with viewership exceeding 3000 million in a short period of time.

After airing only two episodes, it has secured a place on various charts with three trending keywords every day.

The influence of "Descendants of the Sun" is gradually spreading, because most viewers of idol dramas are young people.

So these people go to schools and companies, and in their spare time, they frantically discuss the plot or share the show with netizens online.

This led to the show quickly becoming well-known to most people.

As Yang Mi walked through the school, she vaguely heard the voices of 'Li Shi', 'Jiang Muyan', 'Yan Yikuang', and 'Su Chang', and she felt secretly envious.

As an actress, she also hopes that one day she can become a topic of discussion.

Some time ago, "My Love from the Star" made Jing Tian a household name across China and even Southeast Asia.

After South Korea and Japan bought the drama, it quickly became a hit after it was broadcast, and the actors were constantly mentioned by people in both countries, even making headlines in newspapers.

Seeing this, other Southeast Asian countries also came to China, found Cheng Sheng's studio, and bought the broadcasting rights for their own countries.

After it was bought, the series quickly became a hit and became a blockbuster as soon as it aired.

Huang Xiaoming and Da Tiantian were even invited by South Korea to appear on a TV show.

The news was even broadcast on CCTV's national news program at the time, which made domestic actors extremely envious.

Now that "Descendants of the Sun" has just started airing, it already shows signs of surpassing "My Love from the Star," and it's only a matter of time before the male and female leads become hugely popular.

Yang Mi even secretly wondered if she could also play the female lead in these two dramas, would she become famous throughout the country and all of Asia!

"Mimi."

Just then, someone called out "Yang Mi" from behind.

"Yanyan, you're dressed so beautifully, where are you planning to go?"

Yang Mi turned around and looked at Jiao Junyan walking towards her, and said in surprise.

Her light blue shirt paired with a bun hairstyle, long and slender legs, and neat short hair create a stark contrast to her previous tomboyish image.

Jiao Junyan pulled Yang Mi to a secluded spot and whispered, "I plan to look for opportunities at Shengli Film and Television Company."

"What! You're planning to sign with Cheng Sheng's company as an artist?" Yang Mi was very surprised when she heard this.

"Yes, I've asked around. Director Cheng's studio has been upgraded to a company, and I heard they want to sign promising newcomers," Jiao Junyan said.

"A new talent has been signed! Is this news true?"

Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat, but she immediately felt a little sad. Even if Cheng Sheng signed new artists, it would have nothing to do with her, because she had already signed with another company.

"Hmm, do you know Su Chang? She switched to Director Cheng's company. Shengli Film and Television Company has four or five signed actors now, and they need to sign new talents right now. If I can sign her, my chances of becoming famous will be very high," Jiao Junyan said.

"Then hurry up and go! I hope you succeed," Yang Mi said.

"Hehe, once I successfully sign with Director Cheng's company, I'll definitely treat you and Shanshan to a big meal."

Jiao Junyan smiled slightly, then waved and walked out of the school.

Looking at Jiao Junyan's dashing figure, Yang Mi felt an indescribable mix of sadness and envy.

If Jiao Junyan really signs with Cheng Sheng's company, then becoming famous is only a matter of time. After all, Cheng Sheng's company has no shortage of resources, and their film and television dramas are very good at making people famous. (End of this chapter)
