Low Key Star

  Chapter 227 [227] "Huo Zongxia" ratings

  The development of the city will inevitably lead to expansion, and the house where the elderly live has now been included in the scope of the next expansion, but it was indeed a small town that was completely independent of the city at first.

The van drove through streets that were much dilapidated compared to Beijing, Qingcheng, and Quanzhou just passing by, and stopped next to a small one-story department store. After Zhang Yang and the others got out of the car, they quickly went to the six-story building behind the store. When I looked up the Internet, I saw wires and clothes drying on the corridors of various floors.

Zhang Shouyi and Fang Qianyuan had already opened the trunk, Zhang Yang followed, carrying a suitcase and a backpack, Zhang Shouyi gave him the backpack, took the suitcase himself, and said: "Okay, just take one, hurry up Bar."

Because he was worried about being recognized by others, before getting out of the car, Zhang Wei joked that he would let Zhang Yang get out of the car and run straight up. Pass a bag of presents.

  The family has two suitcases, two backpacks, and several bags of divided gifts. With the help of my uncle, they are not heavy, and they are quickly divided. They close the car door and prepare to go up. At this time, they finally meet an acquaintance.

An old lady greeted Fang Qianxue in the local dialect. Zhang Yang couldn't speak it, but he could barely understand it. The greeting was the same as in previous years, but she soon mentioned herself. Can't remember what it's called.

  The old man smiled and praised "star", but more of them were "making a lot of money" and "promising", which reassured Zhang Yang a lot, and felt that he had thought too much before.

As they approached the corridor, they met another middle-aged couple. Zhang Yang had some vague impressions, but he still didn't know how to address them. As usual, the other party first greeted Fang Qianxue, and then looked at Zhang Yang. , said with a smile in Mandarin: "Big star!"

   Zhang Yang was quite used to such teasing, he smiled modestly and didn't care, Fang Qianxue exchanged greetings with the other party, and hurried upstairs.

Grandpa and grandma live on the second floor, and there is another old house on the third floor, which is where Zhang Yang and the others lived when they came here. This is not long after the demolition of Qianyuan's home a few years ago. Money bought it.

Fang Qianxue's persuasion is to bet that this place will be demolished in a few years, and Fang Qianyuan will buy it, so he may not believe that the old house here was still far away from the city at that time. I bought it for convenience, anyway, I have money on hand, and the old house is cheap - that's why Fang Qianxue had already learned about the demolition from the phone, and he couldn't wait to say it again after meeting.

  Grandpa and grandma were already waiting at the door, Zhang Yang helped carry the things up, while Zhang Wei simply dragged his mother to the second floor instead of going up.

Zhang Yang helped carry the things up, and when he came down, he finally met a few boys and girls in their teens who might have come to pay New Year's greetings. Before he could react, he heard a scream of "Ah!": "Zhang Yang !"

   Zhang Yang somewhat gained some immunity, but Zhang Shouyi and Fang Qianyuan were taken aback. Zhang Wei probably heard the voice, and ran over to see the expected scene, with a very happy expression on his face.

Both Fang Qianyuan and Fang Qianxue grew up here. They didn't know these boys and girls, but they were no strangers to their parents. The parents greeted each other on the second floor, and Zhang Yang cooperated with these boys and girls very cooperatively. A boy and a girl chatted, and finally took a group photo with someone, and then came to the grandparents' house in a "bumpy" way.

Zhang Yang didn't even know the names of his grandpa and grandma, but he didn't need them on weekdays anyway. He didn't come during the summer vacation, but the two old people could hear about him from time to time. Among them, there is more or less a kind of "this is my grandson" in his eyes.

Before departure, Fang Qianxue had already emphasized with the two elderly people that they would eat on the plane and that there was no need to save meals. However, for the two elderly people, the concept of the daughter's family coming home after the meal and preparing meals in advance was impossible. With this in mind, the dinner table is still set up as in previous years with a table of sumptuous meals, most of which are loved by the family or have been praised in the past.

Zhang Yang and the others had already eaten on the plane, but at this time, except for Zhang Shouyi who said politely that they had eaten on the plane, Zhang Yang and Zhang Wei were just like their mother, they sat down and ate it tactfully. Eat as much as you like.

Fang Qianyuan has a son and a daughter. They are twins. The elder sister who was born a few minutes earlier is named Fang Yu, and the younger brother who was born a few minutes later is named Fang Wei. They are two years older than Zhang Yang. They are both juniors now. Fang Yu is at the door of the house. Licheng is a second-class university. Fang Wei was at Jiangnan University. Before Zhang Yang "admitted" to Huaxing University, the entire Fang family had achieved the highest academic achievement in more than a hundred years.

  Of course, his surname is not Fang either.

Before the meal was finished, Fang Yu and Fang Wei came together with their aunt Luo Yan. Regarding Zhang Yang's "Ascending Clouds" in the past six months, if the feelings of the two old people are gratification mixed with unreal doubts and surprises, then for this For the three of them, there is no doubt that unreality is the most important feeling. It can even be said that it was not until they walked into the house and saw Zhang Yang that they had the sense of steadiness that "this Zhang Yang is that Zhang Yang".

Neither Fang Qianyuan nor Luo Yan had read much. When Fang Yu and Fang Wei were young, their family was not well-off. Luo Yan once thought that it would be better to leave school early and learn something. He dropped out of school early to help, but fortunately Fang Qianyuan believed in his sister's opinion in this regard, and finally heeded Fang Qianxue's advice, otherwise it would probably be too late to regret it now.

Probably due to this reason, Fang Yu and Fang Wei have always had a good impression of this aunt, and they treat Zhang Yang and Zhang Wei more kindly. However, relatively speaking, the younger brother Fang Wei has better grades, but is more introverted. Fang Yu's grades are not good, but her personality is more cheerful and enthusiastic, and she is more familiar with Zhang Yang and Zhang Wei.

Grades, work, and love are the eternal topics of Chinese New Year visits. Fang Yu and Fang Wei are both juniors, and they can fall in love openly, but the siblings are still single with their parents, but according to Zhang Yang's observation Looking at it, it is true that Fang Wei is single, and Fang Yu's singleness probably hides his relationship—but no matter what, among the four juniors, Zhang Yang is the only one who is in a relationship.

Therefore, it is inevitable to suffer some special treatment. For example, both parents have already asked and inspected Lin Yiran's situation. After asking again, after my aunt came over, she naturally learned a little bit about it, and my cousin Fang Yu also told me some news I saw on the Internet, such as...

   "Lin Yiran's family seems to be quite rich?"

There is no way and no need to deny this matter, Zhang Yang nodded, Fang Qianxue smiled and added some things, such as when they went to Beijing to watch Zhang Yang participate in the Music Super League, it was Lin Yiran's driver who picked them up, such as her family There are several tuanlong cars in Qingcheng and Beijing. For example, when she came to eat at home a few years ago, a comb was more expensive than a meal...

  The point of this expression is naturally not that Lin Yiran's family is rich.

  At this time, Zhang Yang had no choice but to be a tool by the side, and when he secretly replied to Lin Yiran, he would summarize these words and pass them on to Lin Yiran, expressing how satisfied and proud his parents are for her...

At least before Lin Yiran entered the door, Fang Qianxue's level of Go could be called "dugu begging for defeat". She stomped on her husband and punched her son. Even the old man was educated clearly. I don't know how to play Go.

  My aunt is illiterate, and she doesn't know anything about playing chess, which is a "scholar" thing. Fang Yu and Fang Wei know a little bit.

Because Fang Qianxue played Go in those years, the old man still kept it at home. In order not to be boring, Zhang Yang played two games with Fang Wei, who joined the school's Go Club, and finally confirmed that it was not him who was too good, but the old man. Mother and daughter-in-law are too powerful.

Others were not interested in chess, so after winning the second game without any suspense, the two gave up Go and played cards tacitly. A rare lively scene in a deserted home.

  After dinner, Fang Qianyuan's family went back to the city—after the demolition a few years ago, Fang Qianyuan moved the store to the city, and the business is still good. Zhang Yang's family continued to watch TV with the two elderly people on the second floor, and the TV series "Huo Zongxia" was broadcast.

Thanks to Liang Yanfu's insistence, the quality of "Huo Zongxia" is much higher than the outside world's expectations. Several TV stations have shown relatively high purchase intentions, and finally Jiangnan TV station is betting on it at a starting price of 700,000 per episode. Won the agreement - the starting price is already not low, so the threshold for a VAM agreement is relatively high, directly starting at 0.7.

  If the average rating cannot exceed 1 after the broadcast ends, the final price of a single episode will be settled at 700,000 yuan, with no refund or compensation.

To be honest, without Liang Yanfu's insistence, this VAM agreement would not have been accepted by the investors at all, because the other quotation given by Jiangnan TV Station was 850,000 yuan per episode. At this price, only the first round Most of the investment can be recovered with the broadcasting rights, and the subsequent two and three rounds of broadcasting rights are pure profits.

According to this gambling agreement, the average ratings need to break 1 in order to get more benefits. When the TV industry first started, due to the scarcity of TV stations and programs, viewers didn’t have many choices, let alone breaking 1, it was breaking 5. , Breaking 10 is also commonplace, but now, with the continuous increase of TV stations and TV programs, the range of choices for TV viewers has expanded by more than ten times?

According to statistics, among the top ten popular TV series last year, the average ratings of "When I was Young" was only 1.01, barely breaking the threshold of 1.0. If the principle of decreasing year by year is followed, the average ratings of "Huo Zongxia" can break 1.01 , basically booked the top ten popular TV series of the year.

Even Zhang Yang, after learning about the relevant market, is actually more inclined to take the money directly and play with his heartbeat, but for him, the investment in this drama is more of a test of the water, anyway, relatively speaking, his own investment is not considered Many, under Liang Yanfu's persistent persuasion, he also agreed with the mentality that others would agree anyway.

   As a result, the ghost knows that other investors were actually persuaded by Liang Yanfu.

  That's why this VAM agreement came into being.

Due to the barely enough publicity funds set aside by Zhang Yang's investment, plus his own traffic and popularity, when the broadcast started on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the first broadcast ratings of "Huo Zongxia" reached 0.65, which is a relatively good result. But the distance from breaking 1 is still far away.

  However, as the plot progressed, especially after Huo Zongxia, who was not valued by his father, was defeated by several senior brothers and defeated the door-to-door challenger with the standard Internet routine of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", the ratings have been steadily rising.

On New Year’s Eve and the first day of the new year, the broadcast was suspended. When it was broadcast yesterday, the ratings had already reached 0.93, and today will usher in Huo Zongxia’s first martial arts competition. The ratings are very likely to rise again... So Zhang Yang is still looking forward to it... Looking forward to the ratings Rate—he has already watched it once, and has no expectations for the plot.

According to the current momentum, even if the ratings cannot break 1 tonight, there is no suspense for the ratings to break 1 as the plot progresses layer by layer. However, the highest ratings do not represent the average ratings, so Zhang Yang is still more concerned , After all, there is a lack of money after the year.

Southern Fujian is also one of the regions where opium was rampant and suffered foreign humiliation. Compared with the indifference and surprise of audiences in other regions, it undoubtedly still has a large mass base. This is also the reason why the two old people must watch it every night—after watching This drama, and after mentioning it with Fang Qianxue in the chat, the two old people knew that Zhang Yang was one of the singers of the opening song and also the songwriter.

While chatting with Lin Yiran, while watching two episodes of the TV series with him very boringly, Liang Yanfu sent Zhang Yang the ratings for tonight: 1.28, and reached 1.45 at the peak... It jumped two steps compared to last night Not only that.

  After expressing his excitement and joy, Liang Yanfu expressed his thanks again. Zhang Yang was a little funny and modest at first, but soon discovered that the reason why the other party expressed his gratitude again was not the investment, but the song "The Great Wall Never Falls".

  Tonight's ratings skyrocketed. Apart from the climax of the plot, another part of the boost came from this song.
