Rebirth begins with a manga adaptation

Chapter 60 Additional Investments
Dangerous Girlfriend crew on Sunday.

Everyone in the crew felt heavy in their hearts.

The ratings of the third episode of Dangerous Girlfriend is very close to 1.7%. This should be something to be happy about, but it is hard for everyone to be happy now.

After all, another TV series on the same TV station is Your Lie in April, and the ratings of the fourth episode of the show also reached 1.68%.

Now the two dramas broadcast by Jinhui TV at the same time can already be called the two most explosive dramas that Jinhui has produced in the past ten years.

This should have been a happy event, however.
No matter how high the ratings of Dangerous Girlfriend is, if it doesn't get the first place in this spring, it's meaningless.

It's like the [-]-meter race. You break the world record before the race starts, but the people in the same group are faster than you. What's the point?
In the crew office, Xu Xiangwen, the lead actor of Dangerous Girlfriend, really got angry with the producer and screenwriter.

The rest of the crew ran away to save Chi Yu from being affected, but the quarrel in the office still came through.

"So screenwriter Jiang, what the hell is going on with that April movie? I came here to shoot this kind of local drama on purpose. You don't want the drama I filmed in this place to be the second place in Lanzhou. Bar."

"Miss Xu, you don't have to worry. It's impossible for April's ratings to surpass Dangerous Girlfriend. Please rest assured."

"Do you know how my colleagues laughed at me? With the highest salary in Lanzhou Province, I was filming the film and television drama with the largest investment in Lanzhou Province in the same period, and was killed by a part-time actor's screenwriter and a street actress. Do you know how much this will affect my future acting career?"

Xu Xiangwen's expression was already very angry.

Now she regrets that she came to Lanzhou to film this drama. It is difficult for an actress to get up, but it is easy to get down.

If the dangerous girlfriend she starred in really overturned in Lanzhou, then when investors approach her for filming in the future, they will see such a thing in her past acting experience.
At the peak of popularity, the film and television drama filmed by Jinhui TV Station in Lanzhou Province won No.2 in the ratings of the TV series broadcast at the same time.

What does this mean?This shows that your popularity cannot be converted into actual ratings, so you will lose to local dramas if you go to a small place to film.
Once investors have this kind of cognition, it is simply terrifying.

Jiang Shiqing suppressed a lot of anger on his expression, but he didn't dare to vent like Xu Xiangwen.

Xu Xiangwen continued to complain in his office for 10 minutes, and then left angrily. After all, she still has her own professional ethics, and the entire production crew is waiting for her to start.

"Shiqing, drink tea." Song Xin immediately brought Jiang Shiqing a cup of weak tea.

"You have time to work on these irrelevant things here, why don't you hone your acting skills more, look, they are all the roles of the third female and the fourth female. Why is April in your lie, when the character named Jin Hui came out? It was well received, and even in just two days, someone set up her fan group to help her build momentum on Taili's official website, and the character you played has been so sluggish since the first episode. It's bloody being scolded by the audience." Jiang Shiqing didn't hit a single word, and just reprimanded Song Xin.

A trace of disbelief flashed in Song Xin's eyes when he heard the words.

So you, the screenwriter, made that character so dispensable and annoying, and now you blame me for not acting well?

In April, Jin Hui's character is so handsome. From the appearance to the end of the piano performance, there is not a single scene that is not beautiful. The character is portrayed in a short space so that people like it. Now can you blame me?
"However, no audience said that the character I played was not good at acting."

Song Xin suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to speak this sentence in a flat tone.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Shiqing looked at Song Xin.

Song Xin didn't say anything to Jiang Shiqing, but a sense of grievance emerged involuntarily in his heart.

The ratings of your drama are closely followed by April, and the ratings are not as good as April. Can I blame this?
Jiang Shiqing also compared her with Siyue's female third, Jin Hui played by Xia Yining, which poked her fragile heart even more.

Seeing Si Yue's ratings were so good, she was the one who was the most complicated person in her heart. Every time Yu Youqing scored a point in the film and television industry of Dazhou, and received a good review, it would stab her in the heart.

During this period of time, many people on the stage laughed at her for not being appreciative. When Jing Yu invited her to be the heroine of tomorrow, she played a trick on Jing Yu and spread it around the stage as a way to show off. None of the TV station colleagues who did it took her as a joke.

Then Jiang Shiqing also personally said that she is not as good as Xia Yining, the third female in the drama in April
"None of the men is a good thing, Jiang Shiqing is the same, crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, and Jing Yu is also ruthless and ungrateful." Song Xin cursed with resentment in the corridor.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the fourth episode of Dangerous Girlfriend will start.
After nearly a month of popularity accumulation, the ratings of Dangerous Girlfriend are already very high.

At the beginning, the audience rating was 1.46%, and then it rose all the way after the broadcast, but the middle plot of the male protagonist and the female second had an ambiguous plot, which caused the ratings to drop a little, but then it rose again
At the end of the fourth episode, Dangerous Girlfriend has an average audience rating of .1.68%.

The next day, when the ratings situation spread, everyone at Jinhui TV was stunned.

The two dramas started airing less than two days apart, but the average ratings of the fourth episode were both 1.68%.

But it is definitely impossible to be exactly the same. If the ratings are counted to three decimal places, the ratings of the fourth episode of the two dramas should be able to tell the winner, but that's fine, let's leave it in suspense.

On Monday morning, everyone in the Jinhui TV station became a melon-eating crowd, and the grievances and grievances towards Jing Yu, Jiang Shiqing, Song Xin and the three of them spread like crazy.

In the story, Song Xin became the biggest joke on the TV station, not only without vision, but also without brains.If she was kinder after the breakup and didn't play tricks on Jing Yu, she might be playing the heroine of April now.

As for the regular meeting in Taili, Chuyou rose up for the first time in the past two years, and directly broke up with Xu You at the meeting.

"To sum up, I think it's not too late for Taili to make amends. Add additional publicity funds to April and promote it in other provinces. I can guarantee that April will create a miracle in Taiwan's ratings." Chuyou said. Full of spirit.

"There is only so little money in Taili, and it has been reserved for dangerous girlfriends. How can there be money for April to promote?" Xu You said coldly.

"Then there is no need to allocate Dangerous Girlfriend, Minister Shi. Dangerous Girlfriend's total budget is estimated to have exceeded 4000 million, but its achievements are the same as April's budget of 1000 million." Chu You looked at Minister Shi Teng.

"Our station is a commercial TV station, and commercial behavior must pay attention to a return on investment rate of 20.00% and five investment in April, creating the same ratings benefits as Dangerous Girlfriend. If the station can allocate a penny for the spring show drama, there is no doubt that from an economic point of view, it must be for this drama in April."

"I'll fuck you, Chuyou, what do you mean, Minister, I don't agree, the ratings in April are just a flash in the pan. On the other hand, Dangerous Girlfriend, now is the period of the ratings. It's time to reduce the ratings of Dangerous Girlfriend. Isn’t the initial investment a waste of publicity funds?”

The whole meeting turned into a battle between Xu You and Chu You for funds. The two quoted scriptures, kept witty words, and uttered fragrant words.

Raised the tone of Jinhui's regular meeting of the production department by three points.

"Okay, okay, both of you pay attention to your quality." Shi Teng looked helplessly at the two people who were blushing.

The investment budget for a drama itself is set before the filming starts, so it can't be added up and down.

However, the ratings of the two dramas April and Dangerous Girlfriend were too explosive. Seeing this, the executives of the TV station naturally wanted to let these two dramas set new ratings records in the station.

After all, the ratings of the two dramas are so high, and the other income of the station has also been driven by it, which has increased a lot.

"Tai Li did give our production department an additional capital of about 1000 million." Shi Teng looked at the two of them.

Chu You and Xu You turned their heads to look at him when they heard the words.

"After all, whether it's April or Dangerous Girlfriend, one is ranked 22nd and the other is ranked 27th on the spring new drama rankings." Shi Teng said in a deep voice.

In April, because of the ratings of the first few episodes, the ratings were really lagging behind, so although the ratings rose later, the ranking was still behind Dangerous Girlfriend.

But fortunately, apart from the top ten dramas in the spring this year, the ratings of the following dramas have generally dropped. Otherwise, according to the situation in previous years, whether it is Dangerous Girlfriend or April, based on the current ratings, the rankings are not so high. It should be five to eight places lower.

"The station actually hopes that one of our spring dramas will finally rank among the top 1000 on the list. It is best if both of them can be ranked. In this way, our station's advertising revenue will be paid. There is a lot of room for price increases. However, Taiwan’s greed may end up with nothing, and the 20 million production promotion funds. If it is evenly distributed to two dramas, the help may still be small, and maybe even one drama will not be able to reach the list in the end. Single top [-]." Shi Teng said slowly.

"So this fund, Taiwan is going to invest all in one drama."
