Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

The camera shook for a while, and the beginning was an exciting police and gangster road chase.

This successfully kept the audience who had picked up the remote control to change the channel.

Rick was injured in the battle and fell into a coma.

When the protagonist woke up again, he strangely didn't see anyone, no relatives as expected, no doctors, and even no nurses. It was undoubtedly successful to create a huge suspense.

Then the corpses all over the ground created a doomsday scene, which successfully left an indelible impression on the audience.

…

The suspenseful opening and the scene of the doomsday siege made the audience watch the first episode of The Walking Dead.

Many young viewers were very excited, and the protagonist's upright image added a lot to the cruelty of the doomsday.

And the uneasy Kevin almost didn't sleep all night.

Early on Sunday morning, he received a call from Michael.

Michael didn't say much on the phone, just asked him to come to the headquarters, and there was something important to talk to him about.

This scared Kevin, who was already middle-aged.

He knew Michael would definitely tell him about the poor ratings of the series.

Kevin, who was driving a pickup truck, thought a lot along the way.

First, he felt that he was unworthy of the trust of the big boss, and then he also failed the strong support of the TV station and the actors who worked hard for The Walking Dead.

He thought that Michael would definitely comfort him and continue to give him opportunities.

But he didn't want to continue. It would be good for everyone if he left this industry.

Kevin, who didn't want to cause trouble for Paramount anymore, was ready to resign voluntarily.

Thinking of this, he even wrote a resignation letter while waiting for the red light.

Halfway through writing, he couldn't help but hold his head and cry.

Perhaps this is the sadness of middle-aged people. When they have the most brainpower and experience, they have to leave their beloved career.

It wasn't until the horn urging sound came from behind that Kevin wiped away his tears and continued to drive to Paramount.

The early morning of Paramount TV was particularly quiet.

Kevin, who was full of worries, took the elevator to the top floor.

He looked at the place where he used to work reluctantly.

Perhaps because everyone was young, Paramount Television had a youthful vitality.

Such a harmonious working atmosphere was something he had never experienced before.

But now he had to say goodbye to it all.

He knocked on the president's door, still thinking about how to mention his resignation.

"Come in, Director Kevin."

"President, I..."

The sound of a firecracker sounded, and a sky full of colorful ribbons fell from the sky and landed on Kevin's face.

"Surprise!"

In a daze, Kevin, who was old and weak, was lifted up high by the crew and dropped high.

Kevin, who was terrified in mid-air, shouted:

"What's going on, everyone?"

"Director Kevin, we succeeded!"

The actor who played Rick shouted excitedly:

"We successfully took over the Saturday slot of Millionaire, and more than 10 million viewers stayed at the end of the first episode!"

Heard this, Kevin got goose bumps all over his body.

"Oh my God!"

He had secretly imagined the ratings of the first episode of The Walking Dead. Five million was his most ideal number, but he didn't expect it to be more than 2 times!

Michael also said:

"According to my experience, the ratings of the second episode next week will at least double!"

This is the performance of a dark horse drama.

You should know that before the broadcast of The Walking Dead, there was no preheating and preview promotion. With the marketing ability of Paramount Group, the performance of this drama in the future will definitely not be bad.

"So, I can continue to shoot the third episode?"

"That's for sure."

Kevin's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and he let out a silent roar in his heart. He finally handed in a satisfactory answer sheet to Paramount at the most critical moment.

At this moment, everyone noticed the white paper in Kevin's hand.

"Director Kevin, what is this?"

Kevin then remembered that what he was holding was his resignation letter.

He hurriedly crumpled the white paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can casually:

"Nothing, just a piece of white paper."

"Director Kevin, you didn't write..."

Rick looked at Kevin with a teasing look on his face.

Kevin's heart jumped, this guy couldn't have guessed something.

"You didn't write the speech for the celebration party in advance, did you?"

"How is that possible?"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Kevin warned Rick in a low voice:

"Rick, be honest, don't think I dare not let the screenwriter write you to death."

Rick immediately believed it and turned bitter. Such a popular drama is enough to double his value. If he was written to die in advance, wouldn't it be a waste of time and effort?.

"Okay, okay, it's not time to celebrate yet, Director Kevin, please rush to produce the first season of the whole show as soon as possible. We must at least dominate the ratings of the entire summer!"

After everyone left, Michael opened the crumpled note in the wastebasket.

Looking at Kevin's resignation application that looked like a self-review, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He decided to keep this meaningful note for himself.

When Kevin won the grand prize, he would make this note public, and it would definitely become the big news of the day.

At this time, a group of people from the business department rushed into Michael's office with an anxious look on their faces.

"President, you must give me an accurate answer. Those people in the brand advertising department are going crazy. They even threatened that if they don't give us a definite answer, they will compete with us in person!"

Looking at a group of business elites who were about to be tortured by the phone and had a mental breakdown, the iron-blooded Michael couldn't help but feel compassion.

He has been reluctant to agree to the sponsors who are eager to give money, because in his mind, the ratings of several popular programs in the United States have not yet reached their peak.

This means that the real commercial value of several programs has not yet been reflected.

Those brands are just looking at this point and plan to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up the leak.

"Tell them that we will hold a large-scale public investment promotion conference in half a month. If they are interested, they can all come to participate!"

The business elites immediately became excited and flattered the president:

"Sir, you are really wise. This way, you can shut up those idiots and let the bullet fly for a while."

Michael was also slightly proud in his heart. The ratings are not important.

The most important thing is the ability to attract money.

The brands who finally got a reply were unhappy. They thought of the fear of being dominated by the last investment promotion conference.

Refuse to participate?

That's impossible. Now Paramount's two variety shows and one TV series have a tendency to dominate the charts.

The four major TV stations were hit hard, losing such a large advertising share, and in the end the ones who suffered were the hard-working workers.
