"These are the top three listenership ratings." Zhao Guozhou was very pleased as he praised, "Here, I would like to praise the team of 'Late-night Ghost Stories', especially Little Zhang. For a late-night program to enter the channel's top three on the first day, this is something that has never happened before in the station. It can almost be recorded in the annals of history. I have seen the program's listenership ratings graph. The highest and lowest listenership ratings have not changed much. From midnight onwards, it has been at a high level. This shows that the listeners approve of the story's content. Well, it is also because of the explosion of 'Late-night Ghost Stories' that has pulled up our Literature Channel's overall listenership ratings. Come, everyone, give Little Zhang a round of applause. I hope he will continue to work hard! "
Bba Bba Bba.
Everyone responded and applauded.
However, Tian Bin remained motionless. He still could not accept this fact!
Zhang Ye clasped his hands together and shook them a few times. He politely said, "It's all because of the Leader's help and everyone's support. It's not just me."
"Talk About the World" listenership 3.17%.
"Entertainment Daily" listenership 2.29%.
"Late-night Ghost Stories" listenership 0.98%.
"The Daily Smile" listenership 0.92%.
"National Radio Station News Summary (Broadcast)" 0.89%.
Sixth place … Seventh place … The difference in listenership ratings was negligible.
This time, last place was "Old and Young Story Club". It had replaced "Late-night Ghost Stories", which had always been at the bottom. Its listenership was only 0.27%.
After Zhao Guozhou finished reading, he summarized yesterday's results. Only then did he let everyone begin today's work.
Zhang Ye sat down and busied himself. On the surface, he seemed to be keeping a low profile, but his heart was swelling. If not for so many colleagues around, his mouth would have been crooked from laughing. After calming down, he calmly analyzed the reasons for the program's sudden popularity. After calming down, he calmly analyzed the reasons for the program's sudden popularity. The most important factor was probably due to the market environment. Ghost stories and supernatural novels were still in their infancy in this world. There were almost no good works, and there were only four or five of them. In Zhang Ye's opinion, these four or five top supernatural novels were only average in quality, and the market demand was ravenous. Now, Zhang Ye had brought with him a novel that was the originator of grave robbing novels, a mature work that had already withstood the test of the market in his previous world. The key point was that this work was first broadcast on the radio and was an original work. There were no other novels being sold in the market, only this one, so for it to be able to achieve such amazing results was unexpected, but reasonable.
In the morning, the recording schedule was arranged.
The female assistant, Xiaofang, came to Zhang Ye with a list. She smiled sweetly and said, "Teacher Zhang, it's time to record tonight's program. You will be recording studio 7 from 10 to 11: 30 PM. At the latest, don't go past 11: 40 PM. This is because you still have a program to record later on. Well, there will be a lot more space in studio 8 in the afternoon. If you have the energy to record two more episodes, I can help you apply for a recording time later? It can only take three hours at most. "
Zhang Ye considered for a moment, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you. Take as long as you can. I'll try to record three episodes today." While he was in good health and in good spirits, of course, he had to prepare a few more episodes so that he wouldn't be in a rush in the future. Besides, the most important thing in this industry was the condition of his voice. If he caught a cold, it would definitely affect the quality of the broadcast, so he had to be prepared in advance.
"Sure." Xiao Fang blinked her small eyes. "Should I help you organize your manuscript?"
Zhang Ye waved it off and said, "There's no need. I don't have a script. I'll just record it."
You don't have a script again? Xiao Fang could not help but look up to him. The colleagues around her were also quite impressed when they heard this. Ignoring the new Teacher Zhang's creative ability, just his ability to record live broadcasts without a script was probably unparalleled in the entire Beijing Radio Station. Even for those interview programs that emphasized on improvisation, the host would have an outline and a script in advance, not to mention a story or novel! Tian Bin looked at Zhang Ye with jealousy. Look at how cocky you are.
Isn't it just the first day's results are good? I don't believe you can guarantee such a high listenership rating for the next few episodes. The station has put in so much effort to promote it, so a story on the first day would definitely have a good listenership rating. Tian Bin had also broadcast a novel last year and obtained ninth place on the first day. However, it wasn't good for the next few days. It dropped day by day and finally became the last in ten thousand years. This was the market rule of late night niche programs. No one could escape this curse!
Wait till tomorrow or the day after! I want to see how you will cry when the time comes!
Tian Bin was very confident. He was very confident in his own judgment!
The other colleagues from the Literature Channel, including Zhao Guozhou, had the same suspicions. The first day's results might have had a bit of luck involved. No matter what, it was a late night program. Furthermore, it was a late night program that aired after midnight. It was a program with the least number of listeners at that time slot. It was impossible for it to maintain its third place. It was normal for it to fall into the top ten in the next few days.
However, the development of the matter once again made everyone's jaws drop!
The second episode of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" had been broadcast. The listenership rating had indeed dropped. After all, no matter how good something was, it was impossible for everyone to like it. Some people liked it, while others did not. It could not be forced. Some of the listeners who had contributed to the listenership rating in the first episode left, but the results had dropped to sixth place in the entire channel. But following that, the third episode of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" once again ushered in an explosion. It charged back to third place in the entire channel. Clearly, a small number of listeners had left, but a large number of listeners had gradually come to make up for it!
Zhang Ye's deep voice came from the radio, "Underground, there is a wooden pagoda made up of thousands of logs. The pagoda's body is dotted with countless red flashes. With the weak flashes, the wooden pagoda's base is nearly two hundred meters wide. It is made up of mud and stones. The pagoda's body is made up of thousand-year-old cypress wood. There are a total of nine levels. Each level is filled with dried skeletons dressed in strange ancient costumes. There are men and women, young and old. Every log is engraved with Tibetan mystic texts. Is this a tomb? It's such a huge scale. Who built it underground? "
Many listeners in the entire city were waiting by the radio in fear!
Zhang Ye, who was at home, was also listening to his program. As he switched on the radio, he went online to read the listeners' messages and comments. He was having a great time.
"It's over! I won't be able to sleep tonight! "
"Me too. This segment is too exciting!"
"Is there a need to keep us in suspense? Why did it end here today? "
"I strongly request for more to be said! Isn't this not letting me sleep peacefully!? "
The listeners' feedback was very positive. The posters were old and young, male and female. The age range was very wide. It was suitable for all ages!
About ten minutes after the episode ended, Zhang Ye saw a big verified account's evaluation on Weibo. The verified account was Central TV's famous program producer, Hu Fei. He had more than 600,000 fans. He posted on Weibo, "Yesterday, a station's director recommended a late-night radio program called 'Late-night Ghost Stories'. He said that the novels in it were too good. I didn't believe it at first, but after listening to the first five episodes with a skeptical attitude, I was left with admiration. I also felt very gratified. I've read many supernatural novels, but I've never been so amazed by one of them. The country needs such excellent works."
Below, there were fans enthusiastically forwarding the comments.
"'Late-night Ghost Stories'? I've never heard of it. Is it that good? "
"Even Teacher Hu said he was impressed. Then it must be very good!"
"Haha, Teacher Hu also recommended it? It looks like everyone's aesthetic standards are the same. I've been listening to 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' since the first episode. I can't stop it! "
After reading it, Zhang Ye was very beautiful. This was the highest affirmation for him!
… …
The next day.
The listenership ratings for the past few days of "Late-night Ghost Stories" were out!
First episode: 0.98%
Second episode: 0.69%
Third episode: 1.01%
Fourth episode: 1.14%
Fifth episode: 1.27%
After nearly a week of broadcasting, Zhang Ye's program was still in third place in the channel. There was still quite a gap between it and the second place "Entertainment Daily". It was still far from catching up, but it had already stabilized its position in third place, pushing down the fourth place. Furthermore, the listenership ratings were increasing bit by bit every day. This meant that the program was not saturated yet. It still had a lot of potential. There was still room for improvement!
When this result was released, many of the doubters, including Tian Bin, were silenced!
A miracle had been created! "Late-night Ghost Stories"'s listenership ratings made it impossible for anyone to look straight at it!
The colleagues all expressed their amazement and admiration. This late-night program's rise was too sudden!
Even the staff of the Traffic Channel, Music Channel and News Channel knew of Zhang Ye! The station was only so big, so what could be hidden?
"Hello, Ah Li."
"Old Meng? What's the matter? "
"I heard that a ruthless person came to your Literature Channel? He managed to pull the late-night program's listenership ratings to the top three? He managed to catch up to a primetime program? Is that true? "
"Uh, it's true."
"Awesome, too awesome."
"You haven't heard of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light', right? If you listen to it, you won't be surprised. It's really a good work. Furthermore, it opened a new category for supernatural novels, tomb robbing novels. It's a pioneer! You might not know, but the letters from the listeners have been going crazy these few days. There are at least a hundred letters a day! "
"Is that so? Then I really have to listen to it later! "
Zhang Ye, who was passing by, happened to hear the two people at the end of the corridor discussing him. He was slightly amused. He knew that he had finally gained a foothold in the radio station. "Late-night Ghost Stories" had become the Literature Channel's star program. It constantly contributed to the station's listenership ratings. As a radio host, Zhang Ye's position would also rise!
