Chapter 82 "Conquer" premiered, Tianjin second, Jinling first (seeking first order)

At 7:35 in the evening, Tianjin Art Channel began broadcasting "Conquer" on time.

Yan Li and Lin Jiachuan sat in front of the TV, watching the names of people flash by in the opening credits of "Conquer".

"Brother, your name."

Lin Jiachuan pointed at the TV excitedly. It was Yan Li's name that was displayed on it.

【Producers】: Gao Qunshu, Yan Li
【Issuer】：Yan Li
【Friendly Starring】：Yan Li
That’s right, although Yan Li was only a minor supporting role when he filmed “Conquer”, he is now the copyright owner of “Conquer”.

In this case, I must give myself some face.

However, this is not Yan Li using his power for personal gain just to save face, but rather it is necessary.

When Yan Li goes out to distribute and promote the film, he must have the title of "Conquer" crew, whether it is producer or production manager, so that people know that he has the final say.

Otherwise, when people see that his name is not on the TV series, they might think he is a liar.

However, that guest appearance did seem a bit forced.

The main reason is that producer Yan Da wanted to show his face, but his role was too small, so he was not eligible for the leading role, and even the supporting roles had to be ranked at the back.

It was simply listed as a guest appearance, which perfectly covered up the embarrassment of having few roles and also highlighted its special nature.

In addition to Yan Li's name on the list, Lin Jiachuan also got the title of [Distribution Assistant].

Lin Jiachuan was very happy. The crew he had participated in in Lian City before was now unsure whether it would be broadcast or not.

Even if it was broadcast, it would be difficult for him, a production staff member, to have his name mentioned. At most, he would just appear briefly in the end credits.

It’s not like now, where he is listed alone at the beginning of the film, and the production directors are all listed behind him.

"Look at what you've accomplished. You've only just started. Maybe you'll even be able to hold the title of producer in the future."

Yan Li looked at Lin Jiachuan who was showing his joy and asked him to be more restrained. If he wanted to accomplish something, he had to be calm and remain calm even when facing a crisis. Only then could he be a real man.

Lin Jiachuan looked back at Yan Li and couldn't help but complain.
"Brother, you're still talking about me, flatten the corners of your mouth first."

"..."

Yan Li coughed awkwardly and threw the pillow at Lin Jiachuan: "Stop talking nonsense and watch the show."

Lin Jiachuan hugged the pillow and chuckled.

A few days ago, he followed Yan Li out to discuss business. He watched Yan Li have a great time chatting with the heads of those TV stations and signing contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, acting like a sophisticated and mature business elite.

He almost forgot that Yan Li, like him, was a young man in his early twenties who had just graduated less than a year ago.

It was the first time I saw my name appear on TV, and it was an important producer. It would be strange if I didn’t feel happy.

Yan Li's name appeared early in the opening credits of "Conquer", and the character he played also appeared early.

The first episode starts with Liu Huaqiang and the other two preparing to attack Wu Tian!

Although Yan Li had already seen the finished product of "Conquer", when he saw the TV station logo and advertisements in the corners of the screen, and realized that he was actually appearing on TV and being seen by countless strangers, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

bang bang bang-

At this moment, the TV showed Wu Tian being shot to death by Liu Huaqiang's men.

Yan Li watched himself "die" with his own eyes, and his heart became more complicated...

----

The next day, Yan Li hurried to Tianjin TV Station to inquire about the ratings of "Conquer".

The ratings for this kind of provincial channel are only for the local area, and the statistics are not so fast. Yan Li had to wait until the afternoon to get the first broadcast ratings.

The ratings in Tianjin area were 3.4%, ranking seventh among TV dramas in Tianjin area during the same period!

This result is not very good!

Yan Li had inquired and found that the baseline for prime-time TV dramas on local provincial channels was generally 3-5%.

A viewership rating below 3% is considered a poor result, while a rating above 5% is considered an excellent result.

Furthermore, cable and satellite television aren't yet universally available. Most standard TVs, aside from CCTV, primarily offer local provincial and municipal channels. Consequently, when it comes to local ratings, local channels hold a commanding advantage. With the exception of CCTV, satellite TV channels are no match for them.

These sub-channels of Tianjin TV have a huge local base, and unless their performance is too poor, they will basically not fall out of the top ten.

Therefore, the current performance of "Conquer" is equivalent to a passing grade.

At least the ratings must exceed 5% and the program must be ranked among the top three locally to be considered to have a certain influence.

"Take your time, this is the premiere."

Yan Li was a little disappointed, but not discouraged. After all, "Conquer" had few stars and was aired almost without any publicity, so it was normal that it was not well received in the beginning.

He was even mentally prepared for "Conquer" to flop on some TV stations.

Previously, Yan Li tried every possible way to sell more TV stations. In addition to making more money and creating more hype, he also had this consideration.

Give "Conquer" as much room for trial and error as possible!
If Tianjin fails, go to Xi'an. If Xi'an fails, go to Jinling. If Jinling fails, there is still Shenzhen.

"Conquer" is of good quality. As long as enough TV stations broadcast it, it will eventually become popular.

After adjusting his mood, Yan Li took the ratings given by the TV station and contacted the agreed media to launch a new round of publicity.

Before "Conquest" was aired, Yan Li only arranged a few articles to lay the groundwork. Now that the TV series has started, he can increase the output.

Tianjin Art Channel presents a battle between police and criminals, a game of black and white. Who is the real "conqueror"?

Jiang Shan plays a villain for the first time, Sun Honglei's career pinnacle

A hard-core drama that reveals the true nature of human nature, "Conquer" directly touches the hearts of the audience

"..."

The so-called media hype is, to put it bluntly, just bragging, which arouses the audience's curiosity about the drama "Conquest" and then turns on the TV.

In addition to the efforts in print media, Yan Li also asked people to write articles and post them on portal websites and some forums.

However, it is hard to say whether these online reports have any clicks and how much impact they have on local ratings.

Yan Li’s media publicity strategy is still useful, and it may also be that the excellent quality of "Conquer" itself is beginning to take effect.

Starting from the second day, the ratings of "Conquest" began to increase steadily.

3.7%!
3.9%!

4.2%!

The ratings ranking of TV dramas in Tianjin during the same period also increased little by little.

From seventh to fifth, and then to the top three, until the finale, "Conquer" ranked second, second only to the Su Youpeng version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" broadcast on another sub-channel of Tianjin TV.

The person in charge of purchasing dramas for the Tianjin Art and Literature Channel was overjoyed. He didn't expect that a TV series with a low cost and no big-name actors could achieve such a result.

On the second day after the finale of "Conquer", he personally called Yan Li to announce the good news.

"The highest viewership rating exceeded 11, and the average viewership rating was nearly 5.5%. It ranked second in the Tianjin region. The station is already considering reruns."

"Pity."

Yan Li felt a little regretful, as he was just one step away from being the first in Tianjin.

However, if this flower doesn’t bloom, that flower will bloom!

Although "Conquer" lost to "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" in Tianjin, it was also broadcast on Jinling TV which also started broadcasting "Conquer".

"Conquer" made a great comeback.

Compared with the Tianjin Art Channel, which went from being tepid to achieving great success, "Conquer" performed very strongly in the Jinling area from the very beginning.

The premiere ratings broke 5!

In just two days, it topped the TV drama ratings list in Jinling area during the same period.

And ranked below "Conquer" is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" produced by Zhang Da Huzi...
