Chapter 25 - There are Advertising Sponsors! (2/2)
What?
Almost the same as prime-time programs?
When this was revealed, many were dumbfounded. After all, “Late-night Ghost Stories” was a late-night segment. It was worse than late-night programs in the 11 P.M. – 12 A.M. slot. However, the sponsors.h.i.+p it had obtained was nearly the at the level of fees commanded by prime-time segments? Was the advertiser mad? However, it was reasonable once one thought about it. “Late-night Ghost Stories” was no longer a late-night program hosted by Tian Bin. After Zhang Ye took it over, its ratings had an explosive increase. Also, the cohesion rate of the listeners was high. It could be seen from the figures of the listeners.h.i.+p breakdown. The p.a.w.n shop business was using this relatively specialized and relevant program, which had greatly attracted its listeners, to gain recognition. Hence, this high advertising fee was not unreasonable!
“Teacher Little Zhang, you will need to give a treat.”
“Right, you must treat. It’s so enviable.”
“My afternoon segment’s sponsors.h.i.+p isn’t even as high as yours. This is such a blow to me. Haha, when our salary is paid, don’t be stingy and treat us all!”
The more advertising sponsors.h.i.+p there was, the greater the cut they would get for their salary. Zhang Ye may be still a rookie whose base salary was inferior to others, but with the addition of the cut of a sponsors.h.i.+p that was nearing the amount for prime-time segments, Zhang Ye’s monthly income would be higher than the older comrades who had had worked in the station for decades!
Zhang Ye was also delighted, “Sure, sure.”
Seeing Zhang Ye’s delighted mood, Tian Bin was so envious that his intestines turned green. He had ran “Late-night Ghost Stories” for years and, on average, it had 300 days a year without sponsors.h.i.+ps. Occasionally, there would be a short-term sponsors.h.i.+p, but the fees received were negligible. It was extremely low. This Zhang had only started work for a few days; how was he so lucky? Tian Bin still refused to acknowledge Zhang Ye’s abilities. He was adamant that it was due to luck.
After announcing all the programs’ ratings, Zhao Guozhou called Zhang Ye over. He reminded him, “The advertisers are coming soon. Today is the day we are signing the contract. They, too, want to see your recording situation in person. I have already gotten someone to reserve the recording studio for you. Once they arrive, you can begin. As for the advertis.e.m.e.nt lines, I haven’t received them. They might bring it and I’ll get someone to pa.s.s it to you.”
Zhang Ye responded, “Recording in the afternoon?”
“Yes. Anyway, you do not need a script. Why? Is there a problem?” Zhao Guozhou asked.
Zhang Ye bit his tongue, “There’s no problem, Leader. I’ll begin preparing.”
Zhao Guozhou nodded, “Do well later. Don’t let the advertisers pick fault with it, or there will be questions for the nearly-settled contract.”
“I understand. Don’t worry about it.” Zhang Ye guaranteed.
When the Leader left, Zhang Ye’s face turned bitter. No problem, your sister! He had no way of reciting the remaining text of “Ghost Blows Out the Light”. He only knew the rough direction to the plot. As he was excited about being in the papers, he had not worked out a draft. He had been planning to work out the draft in the morning, but who could have known that something would happen in the morning? Now, with the advertisers coming in the afternoon, there was definitely no time left. Even if he wanted to go off script, he couldn’t. Ugh, was he going to destroy all the acc.u.mulated Reputation in one go? “Ghost Blows Out the Light” was difficult to carry on. Was he going to mess up his own program?
Bad things were about to happen!
The end is near!
Thankfully, he had still gotten 5,000 Yuan in rewards. With money, even if he messed up the program, Zhang Ye would be fine. In this world, money is…No, that’s not right!
I think I previously said that I treated money like dirt?
Let me think for a while, did I say that? Forget it, I don’t think I said that!
