CTTT Chapter 118.1

The next day, the ratings of the first episode of “Director’s Project” on the Apple TV channel came out. With a rating of 3.2%, it topped all prime-time TV stations on Saturday night.

The director of Apple TV couldn’t help asking when he watched the producer of “Director’s Project” holding the ratings of the first issue.

“Is this rating real? Are you sure it’s not mixed with water army?”

In the past few years, the development of online live broadcasting has had a certain impact on the TV station. Any TV drama or variety show with a rating of over 1 was considered good.

In order to ensure that they completed their superiors’ tasks, TV stations frequently falsified and inflated ratings.

Fortunately, the rise of TV barrage had given TV stations a new lease of life, but the average ratings of TV stations were still maintained at a level of over 1 or 2.

Except for some blockbuster TV shows and variety shows that started with a rating of over 3 and then continued to rise, the highest rating of Apple TV in recent years was a TV series ‘Ji Bei Jun’, which barely broke 4.

The director of Apple TV looked at the data of this variety show and thought that he was seeing it wrongly. The first episode had a 3.2% rating. Was this data really true?

“Director, we definitely didn’t buy the ratings. We don’t have the money to buy them. This is a real rating.”

The producer of the “Director’s Project” program group couldn’t wait to tell the world and let everyone in the station see how explosive their new variety show was at the beginning.

Apple TV has not had a variety show or TV series with a rating of 3 for its first episode for three consecutive years. Even the best-rated TV series in recent years, ‘Ji Bei Jun’, had a rating of 2 for its first episode. This showed how desolate the TV industry in recent years was.

Moreover, it was because the TV industry was in a downturn in the past few years that each TV station tried to organize a trump variety show every year in order to increase the ratings of the TV station, inviting big names and superstars to dominate the show.

This was the case in recent years when other TV stations had their own ace variety shows, but Apple TV’s ace variety show had become less and less innovative and had fallen below the audience’s expectations.

In the end, the ratings did not even break 1, so it was directly cancelled by the station, and there was no follow-up.

This time, the appearance of this year’s ace variety show “Director’s Project” undoubtedly injected a booster for Apple TV, which had once again revitalized the enthusiasm for Apple TV.

So, the producer of the program group just struck while the iron was hot and asked the director for the benefit. Seeing that the director of Apple TV ignored him, he hurriedly wailed.

“Director, you don’t forget what you said last time, right?”

The director of Apple TV frowned and said, “What did I say?”

The director thought back carefully and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said that he would give the producer some resources for the new program. Could this be what the other party meant?

The producer slapped his thigh, pinched his arm hard, and sobbed.

“The team of our “Director’s Project” was raised by a stepmother. We finally created a new program for the station, and the station moved it to the ace variety show time slot. But everyone knows that our ace variety show is different from other stations. To put it in a good way, it is ‘ace’, but to put it in a bad way, it is ‘discarded’. There was not even any publicity before the ace variety show was broadcast. It is indeed raised by a stepmother.” The producer was crying while selling misery.

When the director heard it, he was also surprised. He lowered his head and looked at the rating table in his hand again.

“You said, this is the first rating of this program without publicity?”

“That’s right. This program has attracted a total of 50 million investment, 32 million was used to hire four directors, and the rest of the money was used to run the program. Where did the money come from for publicity?”

There were many conflicts between TV stations. The producer of “Director’s Project” was from the former director’s faction. Although he had not been taken seriously in recent years, even so, many people were determined to kick him out of the TV station.
