Chapter 238 CCTV Drama

Chai Sichang left Zhenxibao Film and Television City with a trace of disappointment and returned to Fengtian. Zhang Duo devoted himself to intense shooting and worked overtime. Sometimes he was so busy that he didn't even have time to write the manuscript. Fortunately, both "Emperor Yongzheng" and "Buddha is Tao" have manuscripts, but they will not be interrupted.

On the other side of Wanbang Film and Television, The Return of the Condor Heroes, produced by Gu Zongling and directed by Chen Feiyang, was broadcast on Songjiang Satellite TV and achieved an average rating of 151 on the national network. Although the ratings are much worse than Shanghai Beach, it is also a rare masterpiece.

In the Songjiang Morning Post, the book "Emperor Yongzheng" is still being serialized. With the development of the plot, the influence is getting greater and greater, so that when government officials talk about the novel, there is no mention of Emperor Yongzheng. In addition, CCTV often broadcasts some news about Emperor Yongzheng for the sake of ratings, which has gradually aroused widespread heated discussion in the whole society.

In such an environment of public opinion, the circulation of the Songjiang Morning Post has reached 2.36 million copies, far exceeding the 198 million copies of the Northeast Evening News, becoming the third largest newspaper in its name.

In the conference room of the Northeast Evening News, Zhou Mingde's hair was much whiter than before, and his body was a little rickety, without the style of the past. Although the average daily circulation of the Northeast Evening News has now stabilized at 198 million copies, ranking as the fourth largest newspaper in China. However, for him, it was really unwilling for him to succumb to the Songjiang Morning Post.

"As the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers. As the capital of a border province, our Bincheng is not popular. However, there are the third and fourth largest newspapers in China, which can be said to be abnormal. Although the current data is not bad, we can't slack off and think about danger. Therefore, the theme of this meeting is to discuss how to increase our circulation!" Zhou Mingde sat in the main seat and said slowly.

Wu Weizhong, the editor-in-chief, listened and subconsciously frowned. In the whole newspaper, he has the most contact with Zhang Duo and knows Zhang Duo the most. It is not easy to surpass or even catch up with the Songjiang Morning Post under Zhang Duo's name! Wu Weizhong turned his eyes and glanced down without saying anything.

Chen Wenzheng is still the deputy editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief of the news section. But my temper has changed a little. At least it won't fire randomly like a gunfire like in the past. Because no matter how unhappy he is to read the cultural, sports and entertainment section, he knows that the Northeast Evening News can still be supported by novels. Therefore, Chen Wenzheng looked intently at the pen in his hand at this moment, very attentively and did not say a word.

As for Xu Shenyan, the editor-in-chief of the financial section, he is known for not to speak. At this moment, he looks at the front and doesn't know what to think.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room is strange, and the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief do not speak. The three directors are like clay figurines. The editors at the meeting did not dare to talk nonsense.

Zhou Mingde coughed twice and said, "The so-called speaker is innocent, and those who hear it are full of warning. Everyone can speak freely and say a few words casually!"

Wu Weizhong sat next to Zhou Mingde and heard that his seemingly tolerant tone was mixed with a trace of anger. Knowing that he won't talk anymore, I'm afraid that the powerful President Zhou will lose his temper.

"I'm here to throw bricks to attract jade, let's say a few words first!" The key reason why Songjiang Morning Post has such sales is that CCTV is now filming Emperor Yongzheng, and there are so many reports on it that it is extremely exaggerated. It can be said that viewers can see news about Emperor Yongzheng on CCTV every three days. This is equivalent to making free advertisements for novels. It's hard for novels not to be popular!"

An editor sitting at the bottom said, "Does the editor-in-chief mean that we can also adapt the serialized "Xunming Ji" into a TV series?"

Wu Weizhong laughed and said, "Editor Li is right. That's exactly what I thought. I want to use the power of CCTV!"

Chen Wen is sneering and saying, "With the power of CCTV, Mr. Wu's calculation is too good. Why does CCTV let us borrow power?"

Although Wu Weizhong lost his cooperative relationship with Zhang Duo, his private friendship is still there. In addition, Jiang Xiancheng, a long-time friend in Wansheng Book Company, still knows some inside details of Zhang Duo.

He smiled a little disdainfully and said, "Now that our Songjiang Satellite TV has just finished broadcasting "The Return of the Condor Heroes", the average audience rating of the national network has reached 151%. Although it is not comparable to "The Eight Dragons", "The Bright Sword", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Little Li Fei Dao" and "Shang Beach", it also surpasses the central It depends on a set of golden stalls. The news I got is that the average rating of CCTV's prime rating in the first half of the year was only 140,000, and there was no big drama with a rating of more than 20 points.

After Wu Weizhong finished speaking, the conference room suddenly began to talk about it. Even Zhou Mingde stared at Wu Weizhong with his eyes shining. Obviously, he was a little surprised by his words.

I heard that CCTV's goal this year is to produce a film and television drama with an audience rating of more than 30 points. They bought the right to adapt Emperor Yongzheng, which is for such a blatant hype. However, how can it be easy to talk about the ratings over 30 points? Presumably, CCTV is not sure of winning! And "Looking for the Ming Dynasty" is now the most popular martial arts novel. If we talk to CCTV for cooperation, I'm sure they won't refuse!" Wu Weizhong said confidently.

After saying that, the conference room was quiet first, followed by thunderous applause. Many editors applauded and looked at Wu Weizhong with reverence. Zhou Mingde looked at Wu Weizhong, who was a little proud, with bright eyes and something in his heart.

After the meeting, Wu Weizhong and Zhou Mingde went to the president's office. After the two guests sat down, Zhou Mingde said with a warm smile on his face, "Weizhong, you are worthy of being my favorite candidate. You are really resourceful! Between talking and laughing, it solved the problem that has troubled me for a long time!"

Wu Weizhong heard this, shook his hand and almost spilled the tea. What did the president say? Wei Zhong is just an idea that happened to come up with or not. How can it be compared with the president's strategy and foresight?

Zhou Mingde smiled and said, "Then tell me, how do I operate and how does it work?"

Looking at Zhou Mingde's cunning eyes like a fox, Wu Weizhong's heart was a little guilty, but still said, "I heard that Yang Hualong, director of CCTV's literary program center and film and television department, was rejected when he wanted to buy the first round of broadcasting rights of "Shang Beach", but he signed "Shanghai Beach", but he didn't want to break the sand. Taili forced to go to Xixia City to show his goodwill to Zhang Duo.

"Yang Hualong is a person who is broad-minded and narrow-minded. He will definitely hold a grudge against Zhang Duo." Zhou Mingde suddenly asserted.

"The president is indeed as wise as a torch. I also think so. Yang Hualong may not want to publicize Emperor Yongzheng in his heart, but because the task in the stage is too heavy, he has to do it. If we go to see him, this will definitely work. Wu Weizhong said categorically.

Zhou Mingde looked up and down at Wu Weizhong and said with a smile, "Sure enough, the heroes have similar opinions, but Zhong's words are exactly what I think. Since you proposed this plan, how about you reconcile Zhou Yuemin, Songjiang People's Publishing and Yang Hualong?

Wu Weizhong scolded in his heart, "Damn old fox, a hero has the same opinion and wants to take off my credit and let me run errands. It's really hateful."

But at this moment, he can't refuse, so he can only say one sentence: "Only loyalty is sure to live up to its mission!"

Zhou Yuemin and Songjiang People's Publishing House are easy to talk about, which is beneficial and harmless for them. On the CCTV side, Wu Weizhong is a little difficult to deal with, because he and Yang Hualong don't know each other. For this kind of thing, there must be a middleman.

Wu Weizhong thought for a long time and still found Wang Cheng's head. After paying two bottles of good Maotai, Wang Cheng promised to help him match up.

The meeting was held at the Qianmen Hotel in the capital. After the two sides sat down, they drank three times and served five flavors. After eating and drinking enough, Yang Hualong said, "Editor-in-Chief Wu is really knowledgeable. Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. It's just a meal together, and I feel that I have benefited a lot!"

Wu Weizhong said quickly: "Minister Yang praised it. Weizhong is just a wide range of hobbies. On the contrary, Minister Yang, who is ancient and modern, has extraordinary insights, and is admired by Wei Zhong!"

Yang Hualong laughed and said, "You don't have to praise me!" If there is anything, you might as well come straight to the point and say it directly!"

"Then I'll be blunt, Minister Yang, you must have heard of the novel "Looking for the Ming" serialized in our Northeast Evening News?" Wu Weizhong said with a smile.

"Oh, you said "Xunmingji", this book is very famous, and I'm naturally like thunder."

"I wonder if CCTV has the idea of adapting it into a TV series?" Wu Weizhong asked.

"This!" Yang Hualong thought for a moment and said, "Other aspects are easy to say, but this time-travel drama produced by CCTV is not solemn enough, right?"

Wang Cheng said beside him, "Brother Yang, if you think it's impossible, you can make it by our Sacred Heart, and then you can broadcast it on CCTV."

"I heard that CCTV's goal this year is not low, Minister Yang, multiple choices, multiple guarantees!" Wu Weizhong said in a seductive manner.

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Wu, Brother Wang, just do as you want. Let's sign the contract later!" Yang Hualong made a decision.

Wu Weizhong was overjoyed, "Minister Yang, you must promote this play more!"

Yang Hualong smiled and said, "As long as we enter our broadcast plan, we will do a good job of publicity in advance. Don't worry!"
