Chapter 47 Breaking the ratings record, favored by CBS Broadcasting Company!
At the same time!
Huaxia TV!
In the office of Chen Zhiguo, the general manager of the "Simulated Crime" program!
The urgent ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted Chen Zhiguo's actions.
Seeing this, he picked up the phone casually: "Hello?"
The next second, the voice from the other end of the phone instantly made him widen his eyes and said in a lost voice:
"What did you just say? The popularity of the program is about to break 800 million?"
"Yes, Director Chen! It has broken 8!"
In the director's room, the chief director Zhang Yiwen said with a smile:
"Moreover, it's not just popularity, the ratings have also hit a new high again, reaching 78. At this rate, it is estimated that it will break 80 in a short time!"
"Director Chen, do you know what an 80% rating means?"
Chen Zhiguo is an old media person after all. How could he not know what an 80% rating means? !
80% rating!
Not to mention the whole of China, even if you look at the world, which program can reach an audience rating of 80?
At the beginning of the program planning, he thought that if the popularity exceeded 100 million, the audience rating would be about 20.
The result now has completely exceeded his expectations!
While Chen Zhiguo was shocked, Zhang Yiwen continued to say excitedly:
"Director Chen, the audience rating of 80 has broken the audience record set by the 58th Super Bowl!"
The Super Bowl in the United States is just a football game in the United States.
That is, the NFL!
The full name is the annual championship of the Professional Football League!
However, due to its related cultural attributes, in the long historical changes and development, the Super Bowl has gradually evolved into an unofficial national festival!
To a certain extent, the TV broadcast of the Super Bowl is basically equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala in China, and the attention can be said to be very high!
Because it is not only in the United States.
This event has a certain influence worldwide!
For many years, its TV broadcast has always been the most watched TV program in the United States and the world, and no TV program has ever broken the ratings record it created!
But today, the ratings of "Criminal Simulation" easily made its ratings record a thing of the past!
This matter may sound a bit insignificant.
But in fact, this is definitely a qualitative leap for Chinese TV programs!
At this moment, Chen Zhiguo and Zhang Yiwen knew very well that the reason why this program could achieve such results was all because of the young man who was risking his life on Mount Everest!
If it weren't for him, the ratings of this program would definitely not reach this height!
At most, it would have a little influence in China!
But now!
Because of Chu Chen's existence, especially the extreme eight items he proposed, the influence of "Criminal Simulation" was directly and infinitely magnified, and it has already had a trend of spreading around the world!
"Where are you now? In the director's room?"
"I'm here!"
Zhang Yiwen replied excitedly!
"Wait for me there, I'll be there soon!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Meanwhile!
On the other side!
New York, USA!
Columbia Broadcasting System!
As the most popular TV broadcasting company in the United States, CBS's prime-time dramas have always attracted much attention!
During this period, "Person of Interest", which has been serialized on CBS's prime time for a long time, is about to end, but the new program has not been implemented yet!
At this moment, in the office of the production director, McLean!
As the company's production director, Mike has been busy planning new prime-time programs these days!
But after thinking about it, he has no clue.
Originally, he wanted to invest in an American drama to break the ratings record of "Person of Interest", but he never came across a good script.
Even if there is one that he likes, the price is very outrageous.
For a while, this made him a bit of a dilemma.
The company's intention is to abandon traditional dramas, open up a new track, and create a prime-time variety show to replace "Person of Interest"!
Because now is the bonus period of the variety show track.
Many radio and television networks around the world take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie!
This time, if CBS's transformation can succeed, it will definitely be a great success in the future!
And he also wants CBS to have a new attempt!
For this matter, Mike has often worked all night these days, looking for materials, thinking about ideas, and making plans.
Yesterday, he worked all night in the company again.
But even so, he still got nothing, and even the general direction of the new program has not been finalized!
Singing? Talent show? Tracking mysterious events?
For a while, these things made Mike's head big!
But now, in another week, "Person of Interest" will be the finale, and there is really not much time left for him!
Thinking of this, Mike sighed a little frustrated, picked up his phone, opened YouTube, and casually swiped it.
As a result, after only swiping a few posts, he saw a clip of Chu Chen challenging the "Awakening of the Earth" over the Swallow Cave in Mexico!
At first, he thought it was a wonderful clip from a movie!
But when he opened the comment area, he found that it was a real event!
And this happened a few days ago!
The protagonist of the incident is named Chu Chen, a young Chinese man who just turned 19 this year!
At present, he is participating in a live variety show called "Simulated Crime"!
In this show, he proposed an extreme sports concept called "Extreme Eight Events". At the beginning, he staged a good show for many viewers, and directly robbed a money transport machine of the China-Mexican Transport Bank!
As for the Chinese currency that was robbed, he distributed it all to the poor in the Mexican slums?
Later, he showed various extraordinary criminal talents and many amazing criminal techniques in the show, which was also amazing!
Disguise, disguise, fighting!
At present, he is on the world's highest peak, avoiding the pursuit of the pursuers while carrying out his second challenge!
As an experienced and insightful senior media person, after a deep understanding of the whole incident, Mike's heart suddenly surged with an irrepressible excitement!
He seemed to see an unprecedented opportunity, waving to him!
And this opportunity is to introduce the program "Simulated Crime" to the North American market!
Apart from anything else, if this could be realized, he dared to guarantee that this program would become the ratings champion in North America and dominate the prime time!
At this moment, Mike even began to imagine the scene where the ratings would rise steadily and GG merchants would flock to it...
Thinking of this, he stood up immediately, took his mobile phone, and rushed to the general manager's office!
