"Well, it's not very good, the first issue's ratings seem to be in sixth place, not even 0.7."

Chen Zhi recalled and replied.

"Oh, that's far worse than the Flower Show, what was the name of that show again?"

Huang Yin asked with a smirk.

"It's called The Life of Longing, and I went to see it on purpose..."

Chen Zhi frowned slightly and said slowly.

"That show is a little slower paced, but it gives a good feeling, it's innovative and quite stress relieving."

Huang Yin waved her hand, "Isn't it just inviting a few guests to work in the countryside? What's new? It's a good thing I didn't go as a flying guest, or else I'd die of shame."

Chen Zhi fell silent and stopped speaking.

When he and Huang Yin had called to ask Fang Xiaole for a song, they had both been ruthlessly rejected.

Huang Yin also moved to be a flight guest on "Life of Longing" to get close to Fang Xiaole on the show.

However, Chen Zhi learns that the show's first season is full of flying guests, all of whom are female singers.

At the time, Huang Yin was very frustrated and complained about Chen Zhi, saying that he was too slow and that others had gotten the better of him.

However, things have changed dramatically in just two weeks.

The premiere of "Flower Show" was a huge hit, and it unquestionably holds the number one spot in the ratings, and the second episode has a good chance of breaking the record of never having a show with ratings below 1 at ten on a Thursday.

Huang Yin's popularity also rose with the show, with several top-tier variety shows inviting her to be a guest.

She even had the upper hand for the first time in the competition with Lin Yao, squeezing out Lin Yao to become the spokesperson for Super Calcium Milk.

All of this was a sign that she, Huang Yin, had finally survived the tough time of being forever stepped on by Lin Yao, being looked down upon, and having no resources or heat.

The people who looked down on her in the beginning, on the other hand, were all starting to have bad luck.

Fang Xiaole, for example, had rejected herself so proudly, and now? His new show is getting dismal ratings and is completely crushing itself!

"It's called thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't deceive a poor girl..."

Huang Yin was full of ambition, and was quite happy to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

"Huang Yin, you're a singer, apart from variety shows and commercials, you still need to focus more on your work, without it, these popularity and heat will always be short-lived."

Chen Zhi saw that Huang Yin was drifting a bit, so he only had to remind her at the right time.

"Got it!"

Huang Yin replied impatiently, thinking to herself that she was in a different position now, should she mention to the company that it was time to get a better agent?

........

........

Yun Hai Terrace, Program Director's office.

"Director Luo, you were looking for me?"

Yin Jian, the head director of The Flower Show, knocked on the door and asked a respectful question to Luo Yu, the director sitting behind his desk.

"Sit down and talk."

Luo Yu smilingly asked Yin Jian to sit down and asked his assistant to make a cup of coffee.

"How has the show been going lately, have you had any difficulties?"

"Thank you for the leader's concern, the show is going well."

Yin Jian knew what the leader meant, the second phase of The Flower Show was about to air tonight, and the leader was concerned about the show's ratings, as well as the revenue it brought to the station.

Yin Jian paused, deliberated over the statement, and continued.

"After the first issue aired, the show has been receiving good heat and we have continued to invest in promotional resources, and I personally expect the second issue to remain number one at the same time."

Luo Yu smiled, "Are you confident that you can break 1?"

Thursday's 10 o'clock time slot has always been unpopular, with the highest rated program at 0.98%, but if "Flower Show" gets more than 1%, it will break the record for the same time slot.

This is a perfect first step for the station's strategy of "counterattacking the Apple Channel from the cold stalls".

Yin Jian immediately sat up straight and said solemnly.

"I will work hard to meet the leadership requirements by the end of the first season of The Flower Show!"

Luo Yu smiled in satisfaction and leaned forward to pat Yin Jian's shoulder.

"There's no need to be so nervous, the leader still has confidence in your program. By the way..."

Loew asked carelessly, "What do you think of the other shows in the same time period?"

Yin Jian coughed, knowing that this was the leader testing himself, and analyzed seriously.

"Our biggest rival is Deep City TV's 'Laughing Out Loud,' which has a mature format, good chemistry between guests, and a first issue that's only a little bit lower than ours, and could very well be a dark horse.

Then there's Kyoto TV's 'Ace Battle', although the funny synopsis is a bit stiff and the first issue wasn't too well received, but their early publicity is more on point, and I guess they'll make some adjustments to the show later."

Luo Yu interrupted him, "What about Apple Channel's 'Life of Longing'? I've heard that this program has a pretty good reputation."

Yin Jian thought to himself that the leader had really come prepared, and it was good that he had usually done all his homework, smiling slightly as he did so.

"Although Longing for Life got a few female celebrities to help promote it on Weibo, the heat only lasted for a day or two, and not too many viewers actually watched the show, and even if this segment of the audience was well received, the sample was still too small to be of much significance..."

Yin Jian chestily said, "Director Luo, I think that our main rivals are still 'Open Laughter' and 'Ace vs. Ace', and Apple Channel has fallen behind in the Thursday ten o'clock segment."

"Good."

Luo Yu was really satisfied now, back then he had also started as an assistant director and director, so he was considered to have fought on the front line and had several good shows under his hands.

But the only regret was that he had never really beaten Apple Channel, the giant of domestic entertainment programs, which was a common regret of their generation of Yun Hai Channel employees.

It seems that this time, there is real hope.

Start from the cold stalls, fight against the arrogance of Apple TV, and then slowly shift the battlefield to the popular weekend stalls, this is a "rural encircling the city" battle!

The Flower Show crushing The Longing Life is a solid first step!

........

........

"Has Sky Ocean agreed to change the terms of the renewal contract?"

It's 9:00 p.m. and the second installment of "Living Longing" is about to air.

The crew just finished taping the fifth installment today, and with all the intense work we've been doing lately it's wearing everyone out.

But there were still quite a few people gathered in the courtyard of the Orange House, waiting together to watch their show.

Fang Xiaole, on the other hand, was slightly away from his colleagues, sitting in the gazebo and chatting with Lin Yao about WeChat.

As long as they weren't too busy, they would chat for a while every night.

The only strange thing is that Fang Xiaole doesn't know when he gave the wrong hint to Lin Yao, Lin Yao will always send one or two pictures of her "jade legs" from time to time as if to please.

This made Fang Xiaole laugh and cry, thinking that Lin Yao will not think of herself as that kind of "pervert" with a special fetish.

The first thing you need to know is that you can't find any other way to explain yourself.

"Yeah, Smoke just finished talking to Feng, and he promised to revise the contract renewal as we requested."

Lin Yao's voice was somewhat pleased, her personality didn't really like to change things around.

"However, Mr. Feng wants the rights to those songs you wrote..."
