Chapter 418: Changing time slot

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As a selling point for advertisments, other than viewership ratings, the schedule of television dramas was also important.

Even if the prime-time slot was broadcasting trash like Meeting Love Around the Corner, the price of an advertisement slot was still much more expensive than other schedules.

If Peony Fall was switched to prime-time, the advertising fee they had signed previously would not only be 200 million, but it could even be sold for nearly 300 million.

With such a gap, as long as he did not really have a conflict with money, Ding Wen wouldn’t think of keeping Peony Fall at 10pm.

Ding Wen thought for a moment and found Fan Yuan. “I will contact Huang Tu. Regarding the issue of the schedule, I will try my best to resolve it harmoniously.”

Even if he couldn’t solve this problem harmoniously, he couldn’t care less.

In front of real money, even if he knew that Huang Tu was targeting Star Brilliance, he would not suppress Star Brilliance for the sake of Huang Tu and reject money.

Fan Yuan naturally understood the difficulty of resolving this “harmoniously”. He also knew that Huang Tu would probably not easily agree to them. Unless Star Brilliance went bankrupt, Huang Tu would not care about the schedule of this Peony Fall.

However, that was obviously impossible. Star Brilliance was thriving now!

“Station Director, why don’t you let me go…”

“No need, I’ll settle it.”

He was the one who signed the contract back then, so he should bear this responsibility now. He definitely could not watch the television station incur losses.

When Fan Yuan saw Ding Wen’s confident expression, his eyes flashed, but he did not say anything.

Ding Wen waved at Fan Yuan, signaling him to release the news of changing the time slot for Peony Fall.

After Fan Yuan left, Ding Wen thought for a moment and called Gu Xiao first.

After Gu Xiao picked up the call, Ding Wen briefly explained the matter of changing the time slot for Peony Fall.

After hearing Ding Wen’s words, Gu Xiao pondered for a moment and gave Ding Wen an idea.

“Station Director Ding, Apple TV is a first-tier satellite TV. Many production companies are begging to cooperate with you. If the television dramas are not sold to you, I’m afraid they will only incur losses most of the time. Don’t you think so?”

Ding Wen’s eyes flashed, and he immediately understood Gu Xiao’s hint.

A relaxed smile appeared at the corners of his eyes. “That’s true. It is not that we are willing to take on television dramas from just any company.”

Seeing that Ding Wen understood what she meant, Gu Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

“If Peony Fall can really be switched to being a prime-time daily broadcast, then our Star Brilliance still has a modern romance drama that has just been completed. 1’11 send someone to show it to you tomorrow. What do you think, Station Director Ding?”

Gu Xiao did not dwell too much on the matter of Huang Tu. After all, she could not get too involved in the matter between Apple TV and Huang Tu. She just had to ensure that the time slot for Peony Fall could be changed.

What’s more, she couldn’t wait for Huang Tu to really go against Apple TV. She wanted Huang Tu to lessen their attention on the Star Brilliance and also cause a moderate amount of trouble for Huang Tu.

When Ding Wen heard Gu Xiao’s words, he immediately understood what she meant.

This meant that she was going to use the copyright of the new Star Brilliance drama to trade for changing the broadcast time of Peony Fall to a prime-time slot.

If Peony Fall could not be switched to prime-time on Apple TV, then this new drama would probably belong to other satellite channels.

Ding Wen’s expression turned serious. “Don’t worry, CEO Gu. The change of time slot for Peony Fall will definitely succeed!”

As an industry insider, he was well aware of the changes in the attention of capitalists in the industry recently.

Putting aside Star Brilliance’s previous achievements, just the fact that “Peony Fall” was successfully broadcasted and even exploded in popularity under Huang Tu’s suppression was enough to make Star Brilliance even more famous.

The TV series produced by Star Brilliance had already been coveted by other satellites. After this incident, the TV series produced by Star Brilliance would probably be even more popular.

If he was still undecided when Gu Xiao offered him a way out, then there was really no need for him to continue being the station director!

He had also heard about Star Brilliance’s production this time. It was said that it was also a television drama that Star Brilliance was using to promote newbies.

Star Brilliance had always valued television dramas that promoted new artistes. Needless to say, the quality of the Star Brilliance television drama was probably not bad.

Then he was even more unwilling to miss this opportunity!
