Chapter 204: Primetime Results

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A long time ago, Shanhe TV Station had called their production team, urging them to give them the best conditions. Their goal was to grab the traffic from other television stations.

Shanhe TV Station’s viewership ratings had been lagging behind Beijing TV Station. When they saw that they had a chance of beating Beijing TV Station in the aspect of television dramas, they had not expected that they would find out that the other party was currently in negotiations with Beijing TV Station. Thus, they immediately panicked.

“Please don’t rush to sign the contract. We can give you better conditions,” the other party said.

However, the director of ‘Thirteen Blades’ was full of confidence. “I’m sorry, you guys should find another TV series.”

After hanging up, the director of ‘Thirteen Blades’ looked at Wang Hong. “Director Wang, look, you can see that our TV series is indeed the most sought-after. Why don’t you confirm the primetime slot first? Then we won’t need to wait for the results of the other TV series, right?”

The reality was right in front of him. Many TV stations wanted the ‘Thirteen Blades’ TV series.

Wang Hong frowned. It was indeed a good idea to win the right to screen ‘Thirteen Blades’, but Wang Hong did not like to break the rules that he had set.

“I still have to watch ‘The High Monk’ TV series first. After all, they are also here for the primetime slot. How about this? If you can’t wait, you may leave first. I will inform you of my decision later over the phone.”

After saying that, Wang Hong walked into the screening room.

Bai Rong sneered, “Let’s leave first then.”

There was no need to wait for Fang Mo’er and the rest here.

It would just be a waste of their time.

In the screening room, Wang Hong said helplessly, “Actually, our station is more inclined towards ‘Thirteen Blades’. So if your drama doesn’t have any outstanding highlights, we will still seek stability and choose ‘Thirteen Blades’.”

Wang Hong had not said this outside because he did not like the arrogant looks of the people from the production team of ‘Thirteen Blades’.

“That’s fine. Just follow the strict selection criteria.” The director of ‘The High Monk, Please Follow Me’ was very confident.

Following that, the first episode of ‘The High Monk, Please Follow Me’ began to play in the room.

Wang Hong was quickly captivated by the scenes in the video.

A lot of money had clearly been spent to create the exquisite costumes.

The beautiful scenery was extremely pleasing to the eye.

In addition, the male and female protagonists were very good-looking when they appeared. They were indeed very attractive to the audience.

However, they could not be judged too early. After all, the acting skills of the actors were the first priority.

Finally, it came to the first scene where the male and female protagonists hurriedly brushed past each other and looked at each other.

Wang Hong felt goosebumps all over his body when he saw the way the two of them looked at each other.

After watching for only ten minutes, Wang Hong immediately decided, “I’ve made my decision. I’ll choose this TV series for the primetime series. I’ll give SS ratings to this TV series.”

It was even a grade higher than ‘Thirteen Blades’.

“This is a rare big production.”

Not only were the male and female leads on point, but the plot was also very attractive. Moreover, the supporting actors’ acting skills were on point as well.

Looking at it this way, when compared to ‘Thirteen Blades’, he felt that the level of sophistication for ‘Thirteen Blades’ was not enough.

“SS level?” The director for ‘The High Monk, Please Follow Me’ was momentarily stunned. Suddenly, a golden light flashed in his eyes.

If this news were to be spread, who knew how prestigious it would become.

..

The production team for ‘Thirteen Blades’ was about to go to the restaurant to celebrate when they received a call from Wang Hong before they had gotten too far.

“He called so quickly. It seems that ‘The High Monk’ is not even of average quality. Even Director Wang Hong can’t stand it anymore.”

As the director spoke, he picked up the call. Unexpectedly, the person on the other end said, “Although ‘Thirteen Blades’ can get an S rating, it can only be broadcast at midnight because there are better ones in the prime time slot.”

“What? The midnight slot?” Bai Rong exclaimed when she heard that. This was a joke, right? Other television stations had all taken out primetime slots to compete for this TV series.

“The midnight slot?” The director frowned. “Manager Wang, it seems that your aesthetic judgment is faulty. I think you should reconsider. Otherwise, it will only bring disastrous consequences to your television station.”

“I’m sorry, I’ve already thought it through very clearly.” The other side quickly hung up the phone.

The driver for the car Bai Rong was in, immediately parked on the side of the road.. Everyone was dumbfounded.
