Chapter 265: Queuing up to send money, I can’t even drive away
"Okay, okay, I'll go to work on Monday and we'll talk again."
The clerk in the commercial department of Paramount Television hung up the phone and put a stiff smile on his face.
Just as he was about to catch his breath and rest for a few minutes, the flip phone rang again.
His nerves became tense again. No need to ask, which brand must have called to inquire about the program sponsorship.
The phone calls that rang one after another ruined his entire Saturday.
Aren’t you allowed to work overtime in the beautiful country? Can you not answer the phone on weekends?
But when he thought about this year's performance, he couldn't help but smile:
"Hey there."
……
Such scenes were staged in different scenarios, and the entire business department was forced to work overtime.
Saturday's Paramount Millions set a new ratings record, with a total of 500 million viewers watching the new episode.
The ratings of other TV stations' programs at the same time period dropped catastrophically.
Although this description is a bit exaggerated, it does make the four major TV stations feel a strong sense of crisis in the already stable TV market.
They have a strong hunch that 500 million is just the beginning. With the speed at which the show is released, it will soon become a household name.
Millionaires will ride on their necks, stepping on the corpses of their fellow shows, and ascend to the altar of ratings.
What they can't understand is how long Paramount Television has just been established. Such a hit program should not appear on a small and newly established television station.
Is Michael really a genius with the Midas touch?
Thinking of this, CBS has all gone silent. Michael can only be called a leader with them, but he shines at Paramount. Doesn't this prove the rumors inside and outside the station that their TV station excludes outstanding talents?
The TV stations that couldn't figure it out, and based on the principle of running away if they can't fight, have moved their flagship programs and changed the broadcast time, so as not to compete with millionaires on the same stage.
"I moved "Cheers" to the weekend, so it should be fine."
NBC's variety show director thought, "No matter how great Millionaire is, there is no way it will air for three consecutive days until the weekend."
Something unexpected happened.
Paramount’s new outdoor variety show “We Go Forward” went crazy over the weekend.
Firefighters, retired special forces, and gymnasts went into battle naked.
The beautiful muscles make men, women and children go crazy for them.
Especially the gymnast, whose smooth movements confused everyone. Is this guy here to purchase goods?
People can't help but look forward to the next season.
Maybe it's because the popularity of Millionaire has given Paramount Television a loyal audience, or maybe foreigners really like outdoor sports very much, or maybe it's even because of the heavy rain that day that people can only stay at home and watch TV... …
Many people are analyzing the reasons for the success of National Forward.
Regardless of the different opinions, the new variety show "Everyone Goes Forward" is indeed a hit, even more popular than "Millionaire".
Judging from the data released by relevant agencies, 2800 million households watched the show yesterday. This number shocked the four major TV stations.
The person in charge of variety shows at NBC TV station, looking at the poor ratings of his own show "Cheers", was frantically grabbing his remaining hair.
You must know that Cheers was the king of variety shows in the past two years, and has been voted the most popular program of the year for many consecutive years.
However, due to the impact of Paramount's two variety shows, the ratings were only less than [-] million.
He suddenly thought of Paramount Entertainment Group, which had offered him an olive branch. Since he couldn't escape, he might as well join him.
The four major TV stations are in mourning because they were so embarrassed by the new players on the track.
It doesn’t matter that Millionaire occupied the prime time slots on Fridays and Saturdays, but now it even misses Sundays. This is going to overturn the table.
CBS, known as the station for the elderly, also felt a sense of crisis. Michael's old superior had a bad idea.
"Millionaire is broadcast for two consecutive days and monopolizes the entire weekend's prime time. This is a vicious behavior that undermines market competition. We should file a complaint with the relevant departments!"
The four major TV stations have launched protests to relevant departments.
In fact, in the 90s, there were countless examples of variety shows being broadcast continuously, including three-day series.
But some people just want to play double standards.
The relevant departments of the United States did not want to deal with this trivial matter, but they could not withstand the repeated reporting by the four major TV stations.
They also came up with a lot of big principles, such as what entertainment programs should not dominate the screen, what variety shows should let a hundred flowers bloom, etc.
Some see that relevant departments are not taking matters into their own hands and use members of their family members to put pressure on them.
Relevant departments are not a vegetarian. They were forced to implement new regulations on variety shows. All variety shows on commercial TV stations are not allowed to be broadcast continuously!
The four major TV stations are dumbfounded. Why are you asking you to renovate Paramount TV? Why are you being burned?
"Fair, fair, damn fair!"
Did Paramount suffer a loss?
There must be some. The variety show that could have dominated the entire weekend prime time was urgently changed to a single broadcast on Friday.
But Michael was not confused. He thought to himself, the public still didn’t know the new rules of variety shows, so why not temporarily change the show?
He immediately thought of "The Walking Dead," which only had two episodes.
Because the cost of filming American dramas remains high, TV stations routinely shoot and broadcast at the same time.
This has many advantages. If the ratings are not good after one or two episodes, the project can be dropped.
This system will make the entire drama owner have a sense of crisis, and everyone from the director to the actors will work extremely hard.
Michael had a "wrong" idea. He wanted to try the "Walking Dead", which was not popular before it was aired.
Without any trailer to promote it, "The Walking Dead" was moved to Saturday's prime time slot.
The most worried person is director Kevin. He was in great condition when filming The Walking Dead, but when it came to the big exam, he was more nervous than anyone else.
Because the ratings of the first two episodes don't just determine the show's life or death.
He decided whether his career would stop there.
Under such circumstances, the millionaire audience turned on the TV as usual on Saturday night, intending to watch the question and answer show that left a suspense yesterday.
But on TV, a new series called "The Walking Dead" was playing!
