Chapter 1407 Sick
In the director's office, there was thunderous applause on TV, but the director was not excited at all. He picked up his phone and called Director Xu.
"What happened to that Iron Man?"
"It's okay, the shepherd didn't hit him hard, and he didn't faint!"
"Let's check the ratings later and stop this program immediately. It's too scary!"
Director Xu heard the beep, sighed, looked at the excited Stu Deng and Gu Yang in front of the camera, and murmured: "What can I do?"
...
...
Zhang Xiaobai was indeed not at the scene. He was watching TV and computer in the hotel.
The martial arts conference was broadcast live, and the competition was also broadcast live.
You can't just focus on one side.
Compared with the martial arts competition, e-sports is slightly inferior. There were no powerful appearances on the first day, but the fight was very intense.
As Xiaobao said, the districts are now unprecedentedly united, and the Internet is full of cheers for their own districts.
As soon as the game ended, Liu Yun's phone suddenly came.
Zhang Xiaobai answered the call and said with a smile: "Brother Liu!"
Liu Yun on the other end of the phone smiled and said: "You made this game well! The ratings are actually quite good, and the response is also OK!"
Ok, OK, these words are not very good, but it depends on who is saying it.
Liu Yun, such a big shot, said it, it's really good!
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Brother Liu is still awesome, the early publicity is good!"
Liu Yun said: "Stop flattering, I also watched the martial arts conference, Brother Yi is really good!"
This time it's not "OK, OK" and other words, but direct praise.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and asked: "Compared with Brother Liu's bodyguard, how does Brother Yi compare?"
Liu Yun smiled and said: "My bodyguard just said that he is no match for Brother Yi!"
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Then your bodyguard is quite honest!"
Liu Yun cursed and hung up the phone.
Cheng Feng's call came soon after, celebrating for Brother Yi and having a midnight snack.
…
…
It was past eleven o'clock, and all the friends in Yanjing were there. The supper was really rich, barbecued skewers!
Zhang Xiaobai asked Stu Deng, "Why didn't Director Xu come?"
Stu Deng was chewing a big kidney, his mouth full of oil, and he said vaguely, "He said he had something to do!"
After eating, Stu Deng wiped his mouth and said, "I think Director Xu is a little abnormal!"
Zhang Xiaobai asked, "What's the matter?"
Stu Deng said, "His face is very ugly, as if he had eaten shit!"
Everyone showed disgust.
Gu Yang said unhappily, "Are you going to let us eat?"
Zhang Xiaobai frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It is said that the first day of the show should be very successful, why is he like this?"
Gu Yang took a sip of beer and had another big kidney, "Who the hell knows?"
If the fans saw this scene, Stu Deng's romantic image would be completely ruined!
Stars, flash lights, wearing masks to be idols of others, back to life, take off the mask, just a vulgar person.
They also eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep!
Everyone raised their glasses and toasted Niu Yi to express their congratulations.
But they were not too excited. This was just the first battle and they would definitely win.
Situ Deng smiled and said, "Brother Yi, is that man okay?"
Niu Yi said, "It's okay. I kept my hands to myself. I don't even need to go to the hospital!"
Gu Yang praised, "Brother Yi, to be honest, I didn't see clearly how you made the move. That Iron Man's Kung Fu is actually pretty good!"
Situ Deng pouted and said, "If you didn't see it clearly, go back and watch the replay. What Iron Man? It's just a mouth cannon!"
Niu Er explained, "In the face of absolute speed and strength, nothing else can be a threat!"
In the final analysis, Niu Yi's speed and strength are far beyond Duan Lang's reach, just like an adult beating a child, they can beat him however they want.
The sound of text messages on the phone on the table suddenly rang. Situ Deng took a look and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What does he mean?"
Zhang Xiaobai asked: "Who? What's the matter?"
Situ Deng said: "Director Xu sent only one sentence, Brother Situ, the ratings are not ideal!"
Before discussing the ratings of the martial arts conference, Situ Deng told Director Xu that the first two episodes would probably not be good. There have been such programs before. Even if he and Gu Yang joined, the audience may not buy it. They are just used to it and think the program is not good.
However, as the program progresses, seeing the difference between the martial arts conference and other programs, word of mouth will get better, but this requires a process.
Since it is a matter of negotiation, why did Director Xu send such a message in the middle of the night?
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Send him a message and ask what he means. Don't be polite to him. I paid the sponsorship fee!"
Zhang Xiaobai was really angry and felt that Director Xu was unreliable.
Situ Deng replied to the message, and he was not polite.
"What do you mean?"
Everyone laughed, Situ Deng spread his hands, "Xiao Bai said he won't be polite to you."
He continued to eat and drink, and it took a long time before he received a reply.
"It's okay! I'm just talking, don't think too much, Brother Situ!"
Situ Deng sent another message, "You are sick!"
Director Xu didn't reply this time.
Gu Yang frowned and said, "No, Director Xu is very thoughtful, and we played well on the first night, so he didn't need to send such a message, so there must be something wrong."
Situ Deng asked, "What could it be?"
Gu Yang was silent for a moment and said, "Considering his expression of eating shit, he may be under some pressure. He specifically mentioned the ratings. It's possible..."
Zhang Xiaobai asked, "What's possible?"
Gu Yang continued, "This program may be cancelled!"
Zhang Xiaobai said angrily, "Impossible? We paid so much sponsorship fees, and the TV station said it would be cancelled? No credibility at all?"
After everyone was silent for a while, Situ Deng slowly said, "It's possible! It's not uncommon for TV stations to withdraw programs midway, either because of ratings or because of **** and other reasons."
Gu Yang slammed the table and said angrily, "I understand! This is not Director Xu's business, it's the business of that henpecked husband. He has always been timid, and the broadcast of this program is afraid that it will affect him!"
Situ Deng explained that the henpecked husband is the director of the TV station, Director Xu's immediate superior, and he is the only one who can put pressure on Director Xu.
Then Situ Deng nodded and said, "What Brother Gu said is really possible. First, use the ratings as an excuse, and then use the boss as an excuse. This program may really be taken down!"
Cheng Shifei sneered, "It's impossible for them to take down the program after all the effort. Isn't he afraid of his wife? Isn't he afraid of me, Cheng Shifei?"
Zhang Xiaobai said, "Master Cheng, don't worry. Now it's just everyone's guess. Let's see how the situation develops and then make a decision!"
Gu Yang and Situ Deng knew the TV station very well. They guessed their purpose through a text message.
Suddenly guessed right!
Director Xu couldn't sleep at night, especially after receiving Situ Deng's unkind text message.
On one side is a big star, and on the other side is the director. How to make peace with this muddy situation?
