Chapter 119 Achievements

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan came to Chinese TV station and watched the ratings of "Desire" and were speechless.

"Desire" is aired at 9 o'clock every night, and the time period is quite good. Even if there is no large-scale publicity, is the ratings of 0:00 or 2% too low?

In China, the average viewership rate of "Desire" is as high as more than 90%.

Even if Lin Zixuan was mentally prepared, he was urged to vomit blood by this number.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianlong was very optimistic and thought that it was an unexpected surprise to have such achievements, which was better than he thought.

In the United States, English TV stations are the mainstream media, while Chinese TV stations are the niche among the niches.

In addition to the fierce competition among various Chinese-language TV stations, the American Chinese-language TV stations have no more than 100,000 viewers, and some Chinese-language TV stations even have only 100,000 or 20,000 viewers, which is completely incomparable to the base of 800 million viewers in China.

In this context, it is not surprising that such a low rating is present.

Although "Desire" is not comparable to the ratings of the Hong Kong TV series, Jiang Tianlong thinks this is a good start, which shows that Chinese Americans are not opposed to watching domestic TV programs.

Perhaps the audience was just out of curiosity at the beginning, but curiosity would gradually turn into habits. As long as there were good TV programs, the audience could be retained and allowed to accept and love domestic programs.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan graduated from Beijing Radio College, studied communication and understood this principle.

It seems that the situation is not that pessimistic. Although the road is a bit tortuous, the prospects are worth looking forward to.

To put this aside for the time being, Mu Shanshan wants to use the database of Chinese TV to make documentaries, and to go deep into the Chinatown of New York with Chinese TV reporters to understand the living conditions of Chinese people in the United States.

With the help of local Chinese TV stations, the documentary will be much smoother.

This is a process of gradual integration. When they first arrived in New York, they didn't even recognize the road. Now they have opened up and integrated into the local Chinese society bit by bit.

Lin Zixuan continued his duties as a firefighter and solved various troubles in the crew.

There is a saying that troubles that can be solved with money are not considered troubles, but unfortunately he does not have any extra funds now.

At this moment, an accident occurred. At the end of April, Wang Ji felt uncomfortable and nauseated during filming. He thought he had just eaten something bad, but he didn't care.

One day, he felt really uncomfortable, so Jiang Wen accompanied her to see a doctor. The doctor's diagnosis was that Wang Ji was pregnant.

This news was really surprising and caught everyone off guard.

In order to finish the filming as soon as possible, the crew of "The People in Beijing in New York" has worked for more than fifteen hours a day, and basically has high-intensity shooting from getting up in the morning to sleep at night.

When the weather is good, shoot outdoor scenes and when it rains, you can’t leave the machine idle anyway.

As the heroine, Wang Ji has many scenes. He needs to keep a full spirit at all times when acting opposite Jiang Wen.

"We may not be able to continue filming like this, and the actors can't hold on." Feng Xiaogang said worriedly.

He is talking about Wang Ji. Other supporting roles have time to rest, but the protagonist does not have it. It takes too much effort to shoot it over and over again.

In fact, this shooting intensity is very common in China. The conditions for filming of "Desire" are even more difficult. You spend more than ten hours in the cold and humid studio every day, rushing for progress every day, and Zhang Kaili later fell ill.

Why does Zhang Kaili cry when she wants to cry? She doesn’t even need eye drops? As long as she thinks that she still has to continue shooting in the studio, she feels that she is really miserable.

In order to save money and catch up with progress, filming TV series in the country is like fighting a war.

"Adjust the shooting plan, break up her scenes, shoot separately, and ensure sufficient rest time." Lin Zixuan suggested.

This is the first time he has encountered this situation and there is no good solution.

Either reduce Wang Ji's scenes, or concentrate on filming Wang Ji's scenes first, or the crew cooperates with her schedule to film.

If the first two items are adopted, it is likely to undermine the overall structure of this TV series.

Wang Ji has a very temper as a woman in the capital and is not spoiled. She doesn't want to slow down the crew's progress.

The crew spends a lot of US dollars on spending one more day in the United States, and even if it saves this way, there is still a funding gap.

Lin Zixuan insisted on adjusting the shooting plan to ensure Wang Ji's daily routine. After all, he is not a profit-oriented capitalist.

Now that things have happened, he has also driven it. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. At worst, he will continue to take out loans. He has survived this, and China Banking Corporation cannot watch them starve to death in the United States.

This method is a bit rogue, but it is quite effective.

What Lin Zixuan didn't expect was that doing this would have an unexpected effect.

After getting pregnant, Wang Ji moved out of the apartment building. The environment there was not good, it was too noisy and could not have a good rest. She was very conscious and came over early every time she filmed.

Once, the crew came to the filming site and found that Jiang Wen was missing.

When he called, he forgot to set the alarm clock last night and overslept. Everyone drove several cars when they left the apartment building, and they were so noisy that they didn't pay attention. They all thought he had taken another car.

When Jiang Wen rushed over, an hour or two passed.

"I can come on time as long as I am pregnant. You can let me wait here." Wang Ji scolded Jiang Wen at that time.

Jiang Wen knew the reason was wrong, so he quickly apologized. He was serious when filming, and tried to pass it once, so that he would not have to rehearse repeatedly and waste time.

When Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang saw this, someone could finally control Jiang Wen.

There is a pregnant woman in the crew. Everyone is not so rough in their work and the progress is much faster. This is an unexpected gain.

With the broadcast of "Desire", the ratings did not rise or fall sharply, and remained stable, mainly because the base of American Chinese TV audiences was too small and the ratings did not change significantly.

Some comments about "Desire" appeared in Chinese newspapers published by the Chinese community in New York.

Chinese Americans don’t know much about the situation in China. A lot of news came from Xiangjiang and Baodao. In my impression, the mainland was still in a chaotic situation in the 1960s and 1970s.

Through this TV series, they saw that although the economy of the mainland is not yet developed, it is not chaotic, but lives a normal life. The kindness, integrity and beautiful emotions conveyed in "Desire" can also infect Chinese Americans.

This is exactly the charm of family emotional dramas.

Judging from the ratings, there will be no more than 40,000 viewers watching the drama "Desire" in New York, and no more than fifty people will write comments after watching them. There will be very few people who can even be published in newspapers after writing comments.

There are praises and criticisms.

Lin Zixuan collected the praises in the newspaper, threw away the criticisms, and prepared to send them back to China. This is a result of the Beijing TV Art Center and China TV Station overseas.

As a subordinate, reporting your achievements to your leaders from time to time is a manifestation of your thought maturity.
