Chapter 347 ratings
Tonight is undoubtedly a feast of visual and auditory feast for tens of thousands of spectators at the Bird's Nest National Sports Center.
Although the tickets are very expensive, the ticket price of the seats in the front row is more than 18,000, which is several times higher than the same seats in the Queen-level concert, and it is more than a dozen streets away from the second-rate singer concert.
But so what?
No matter how awesome the superstar is, he is alone. Even if he is included as a special guest of the concert, there will not be more than five stars in a concert.
However, what about tonight's party?
Universal Records and Sony Music Entertainment, which are also one of the world's four major record companies, together with many subsidiaries distributed around the world, a total of more than 1,000 officially signed artists and stars gathered at the party.
A thousand well-known stars?
Is this the concept of Shenma?
Can the banquet sit at 100 tables?
Fans add up, super China and India's total population?
Whether it is a large charity party or a wedding banquet of a top entertainment boss, it is impossible to gather so many stars.
Of course, it is impossible for all these more than 1,000 stars to perform on the stage, but among the more than 1,000 stars, who can compete for a few performance opportunities on stage?
If so, isn't it worth spending tens of thousands of yuan to buy a ticket to witness the concert of super stars?
Whether it is worth it or not, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise. As a direct beneficiary, Xia Yufeng really doesn't care much about this.
At this time, he put his left hand in his pocket, held the bag in his right hand, and followed Luo Yun, who led the way in front of him, looking left and right with a leisurely look.
Near the beginning of the party, everyone moved and walked all the way. There were many hurried figures and the noisy voices of the walkie-talkie in the passage.
Considering that there are too many actors, the organizer specially allocated two meeting rooms as temporary dressing rooms and a storage room as a dressing room, which is obviously not enough. The direct consequence is that many stars who came late and failed to squeeze into the dressing room to find a solution. After getting the helpless answer, they had no choice but to take a folding chair and sit in the corridor so rudely, bringing the dressing room to make up for themselves.
So, on this corridor, which is only about 1.5 meters wide, a large-scale 'roway makeup competition' involving hundreds of people began to be staged dramatically. However, the protagonist is no longer sitting on a folding chair, those bright stars on the screen, but become sweaty makeup artists holding various makeup tools.
When Xia Yufeng followed Luo Yun here and saw this scene, the former was stunned.
At this time, he really understood what the concept of more than 1,000 stars was.
There are no more than 100 stars squatting in the corner of the wall to make up, many of whom are known and liked by Xia Yufeng, such as Chen Yixun with a bird's nest on his head, Wu Qilong with a blank expression on his face, Liu Yifei, a pure jade girl, etc.
Xia Yufeng did not intend to say hello to them, but followed Luo Yun through the narrow gap in the crowded crowd. After squeezing out a sweat, Xia Yufeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ouch, my big boss, do you still know how to come?"
As soon as Xia Yufeng flashed in, she was found by the sharp-eyed Xu Jie. She called the information in her hand to a girl next to her, swayed in a slightly tired graceful posture, and came over and complained an extremely anignantly.
"Sister Xu, don't take the big boss to answer me. There is too much traffic on the way. I really can't help it. Xia Yufeng looked at Xu Jie in front of him, who was destined to be as amazing as herself tonight, and explained with a wry smile.
"The traffic jam in Yanjing is serious. Didn't you know until today? Don't you know how to come here early?" Xia Yufeng's explanation not only failed to lower Xu Jie's resentment, but also had inspirational signs.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I will remember it next time." Xia Yufeng quickly laughed and apologized.
gave him a helpless glance and said, "The clothes have been prepared for you. In the dressing room, the makeup artist is also waiting there. Are you going there now or?"
"I'm not in a hurry. Wait a minute." Xia Yufeng shook his head. He had to go out to accompany Xu Yewei later. At this time, it was not suitable to wear makeup and change clothes. Anyway, he will appear in the middle of the party, and there is still plenty of time.
Xu Jie caught a glimpse of Feng Dagang coming this way with several deputy directors and said, "Well, you can do it yourself. Director Feng came over. If you have any questions, please ask him. I don't have time to go to the dressing room first. After Xu Jie finished speaking, she turned around and ran out before Director Feng came to say hello to him.
"Director Feng, everyone, thank you for your hard work."
Xia Yufeng put the bag on the table next to him, took out a pack of cigarettes, and distributed it to Director Feng and several other men who had approached him.
"It's not hard, it should be."
Director Feng did not answer. The middle-aged men behind him took the cigarette, immediately raised a bright smile and took the initiative to respond enthusiastically. Thinking about it, they more or less know Xia Yufeng's identity from Director Feng.
"Deputy Director Zhang, please arrange the process of the party to Mr. Xia." Director Feng turned his head and ordered a rich and medium-sized bald man beside him.
"Okay." Deputy Director Zhang immediately took out a few A4 papers from the folder and handed them to Xia Yufeng.
"At the other side of the sound control station, Deputy Director Zhang, please urge the sound engineer again and tell him that the two big stereos next to the guest banquet are still a little too loud. Turn it down." Feng Dagang said to Deputy Director Zhang, who stepped forward and stood in the same line as him.
"No problem." Deputy Director Zhang nodded and should accept it.
"Okay, the party will start soon. You are all in your positions, take care of your own part, and make sure that our event tonight is a complete success." Feng Dagang raised his arm and looked at it and said.
"Don't worry, Director Feng, then we'll go." After saying that, Deputy Director Zhang and several other assistant directors went to the console.
"Come on, sit down." Feng Dagang pulled two chairs from the side.
Xia Yufeng nodded to thank him, and then sat on the chair and looked at the flow chart in his hands.
The party began at 8 o'clock, with the world-renowned black singer Beyoncé and the special guest Wu Jianhao of Treasure Island as the opening program.
After the song, the host officially appeared on the stage, first introduced the leaders and special guests, then made a simple announcement for the whole party, and then entered the establishment ceremony of the Star Group.
Seeing this, Xia Yufeng asked, "Howard, Johnson and Xu Wei, where are the three of them?"
Feng Dagang looked at his watch and said, "It should be at the entrance now. Chang Jiaxin just called them out five minutes ago."
"What are you calling out for?" Xia Yufeng was puzzled.
"Don't you know?" Feng Dagang looked at Xia Yufeng doubtfully and asked.
Xia Yufeng raised his eyebrows and said, "What do I know?"
Feng Dagang saw Xia Yufeng's unknown appearance and explained, "Well, half an hour ago, Vice Minister Chen Yaodong of the Ministry of Culture came to watch the party with two granddaughters. I went to greet him in person. A few minutes ago, Vice Minister Chen hurriedly called me over and told me that there were several The big leader is coming and asks me to take Xu Wei and others to meet him at the door. How can I walk away, so I asked Xu Jie to go. She didn't have time, so she asked Chang Jiaxin, He Shanhua and others to take people there. Maybe she didn't think it was enough. Chang Jiaxin later came back to call Xu Wei and Howard.
"Big leader? Do you know who it is?" Xia Yufeng asked with a frown.
Last time, Feng Dagang told him that he would try to invite several heavy leaders and guests to support the scene. He originally wanted to invite Lu Songxiang and his son to come over, but later he thought that this was a commercial performance. It was not appropriate to ask them to come here. If they would be criticized afterwards because of this, it would be bad, so he gave up.
Not only did the leader not invite him, but also cancelled the invitation of Dong Qing to be the host. The level and scene of the party are big enough that there is no need to rely on these to attract attention, so it is completely commercialized and has no connection with the official.
"Vice Minister Chen didn't say anything." Feng Dagang replied.
Xia Yufeng nodded thoughtfully and said, "No matter who he comes, let's just do a good job of normal reception."
Feng Dagang lowered his voice and gestured, "So this red envelope?"
"Give Vice Minister Chen a package, and other leaders will be exempted." Xia Yufeng thought for a moment.
He is half an entertainer and knows more or less about the doorway here. The leader comes to you to help you support the scene. Naturally, the corresponding reward is not defined by whether you are invited or not. You have to give it when you come.
But Xia Yufeng doesn't care about this. Anyway, he feels that he has not invited anyone, so he has no obligation to pay anyone an appearance fee. Moreover, the great leader who can make the Vice Minister of Culture be fearful is most likely Vice Chairman Zheng, Long Delin, Zhou Tian and other people. You expect Xia Yufeng to send red envelopes to these people' enemies, isn't it funny?
The reason why they don't give red envelopes to their big leaders, but give red envelopes to such a small official as Vice Minister Chen is mainly considering that whether they hold concerts, shoot TV series or movies in the future, they will have to deal with the cultural department. Of course, it is best if they can spend a little money to deal with this relationship and make things conveniently in the future. . Otherwise, they make it difficult. Even if you can put pressure on the superiors, you can solve it, but it will be a trouble in the end.
"This••••••" Feng Dagang is very puzzled about Xia Yufeng's approach.
"It's okay, just do as I say." Xia Yufeng can't explain the reason to Feng Dagang. If he knows that he has offended Huaxia's senior management, won't he be scared to pee?
"Okay." Feng Dagang smiled bitterly and said that although he was puzzled, he also knew that it was impossible for Xia Yufeng not to know the powerful relationship here. Naturally, he would have his own considerations for such a decision.
"Oh, by the way, Director Feng, which satellite TVs were sold to the live broadcast rights of this party?" Xia Yufeng suddenly remembered to ask.
When talking about this topic, Feng Dagang suddenly became energetic. He straightened up and smiled, "Xiaoxia, don't you know? In China alone, more than 60 provincial satellite TV stations have come to me to negotiate, and there are dozens of them abroad. It's okay to say abroad. Anyway, you don't know any of them. Just choose a few better satellite TVs. But in China, it hurts my mind. Everyone is an acquaintance, and I can't give more rights to live broadcast. Anyway, I have offended many people for this matter. Speaking of this, Feng Dagang took off his baseball cap and made a bitter look of scratching his head.
Seeing Feng Dagang showing off his pride, Xia Yufeng joked, "Ha ha, Director Feng, you can have fun secretly."
"Hey!" Feng Dagang smiled, put on his hat again and said, "Although we are all acquaintances, I don't dare to be selfish. On the mainland side, Mango Channel, China Blue and BTV were given three satellite TVs with high ratings and reputation; on Treasure Island, they signed for Huashi and CCTV, both of which are not bad and can basically include a treasure island. As for Hong Kong, the population is not large, and there is no difference between two families. I negotiated with TVB Jade and sold it to them at a high price. They are the only one in Hong Kong. Other foreign TV stations, I didn't think much about it, so I gave it to two countries according to the ratings ranking of the TV station.
"Director Feng, what do you expect to reach the ratings tonight?" Xia Yufeng asked with concern.
Feng Dagang thought for a moment and said, "In the past, the ratings in the evening, Mango Channel, BTV and China Blue ranked second, sixth and ninth respectively, and Mango Channel was only 6-2 percentage points lower than CCTV comprehensive channel. Tonight, it is inevitable for Mango Station to rush to the first place. Now what I care about is whether it can break through its history and even create a brilliant one, reaching 2.2 percentage point. In addition, the ratings of China Blue and TVB are estimated to increase by a percentage point to 08% this time. In this way, the three satellite TV stations are estimated to account for about 45% of the national total audience rating, which is 45 percent.
"So much?" Xia Yufeng opened his eyes wide and said in surprise.
Although China has a population of more than 1 billion, there are hundreds of large and small satellite TV stations across the country, and the ratings are shared. Even the leading leaders such as CCTV and Mango TV can only get a poor share. Tonight's party, three satellite TVs can account for more than 40% of the viewing share. Isn't that ten Chinese, and four and a half people are watching the party?
Feng Dagang sighed, "It's far worse than the Spring Festival Gala."
"Damn it." Xia Yufeng couldn't help swearing at Feng Dagang.
Feng Dagang immediately grinned and said, "Hey, that's what I said. 70% of the audience share of the Spring Festival Gala is piled up by dozens of provincial satellite TVs. These three satellite TVs can account for two-thirds of it, which is not bad.
"Just be proud." Xia Yufeng looked at this super stinky Feng Dagang speechlessly, took out a folded note from his pocket and handed it to him, "Well, it's almost time. It's time for me to go out. Xu Jie has put on makeup. Director Feng, please give this note to her later. After saying that, Xia Yufeng extinguished the cigarette butt and stood up.
"Your appearance time, in the middle of the party, don't forget to come early to put on makeup and change clothes." Feng Dagang reminded.
"I know." Xia Yufeng just wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Director Feng, get me a pair of black-framed glasses and hat quickly."
Director Feng knew what Xia Yufeng was going to do, and he immediately brought two things from the costume prop master.
Xia Yufeng wore it well and hurriedly walked to the scene.
The party is about to begin.
