Hollywood legendary director

This night, the audience who originally watched the wb TV station were a little bit more surprised.

The broadcast of the new drama has made the ratings that have fallen sharply after the end of the stable news program a little more variable.

The nearly fifty-minute episode was quickly finished amid some complaints.

"Hey, why is it over?"

"Miller did he think of any way to save his brother from first-degree prison."

"Just broadcast this point, everything is ignorant, what is the relationship between the tattoo on that person and the information on the wall?"

"WB's drama is quite interesting."

"Not enough."

"..."

At night, the audience attracted by the notice was quite satisfied.

What's more, even ran to call the channel number of WB TV station, making the staff on duty in the station busy.

The phone is going to burst.

It is really the power of public opinion.

Fans of the show saw a well-made TV show, simple and enthusiastic, most of them asked for more changes.

"One episode a week is not enough to watch, can we play more episodes?"

"The setting is very good, and the role of Miller is even more stunning. I hope this drama can be filmed well."

"look forward to......"

In the living room of a high-end residential area.

If the tension of WB TV station is a little more relaxed, then Charles, who has watched this episode of "Prison Break", is quite uncomfortable.

He looked at the subject, feeling that the plot was novel, and thought to himself, "This particular scene is all real shots, how much money does it cost. Who just believes that it can succeed? In this way, the cost of production is not one or two hundred. In case, is it worth it?"

Charles's face was very ugly.

He felt that Lyman had a brain disease.

In order to suppress him and persecute him, he was so aggressive that even if the WB TV station supports him, the money will certainly not be less, and most of it will not be able to recover the cost, but the ratings will never be worse.

A lose-lose style of play.

Charles is really scared.

First it was Lions Gate, and then it started the show, aggressive at all costs.

Charles felt that he might not be able to resist this battle.

How about it?

Lehman is a lunatic, why should he fight with people with abnormal brains?

While Charles was thinking silently, the director of WB TV showed a long-lost smile.

The viewership statistics of American TV series are relatively intuitive and convenient.

But the whole result will take a few hours to be fully counted.

Although he hasn't been able to know the performance of "Prison Break" for the time being, the voice of praise and support is estimated to be very good based on his experience and intuition.At least, renewal is completely worry-free.

I found the treasure.

at the same time.

Audiences who are still reminiscing about the plot also talked to relatives and friends around Amway.

"Have you watched the new WB TV series tonight? It's very interesting."

"I recommend it."

"From the level of the first episode and the development of the plot, it shows that the screenwriter is absolutely powerful, and the thinking is too appropriate."

......

Inside the Warner headquarters office.

Barry Meyer is also very concerned about the performance of the show.

Although the TV station is not under his control, he needs to pay attention because of Lehman.

Maybe he really appreciates it. He is just dealing with official duties while watching the ratings release of "Prison Break" all night, waiting for some happy call?

As the key person who recommended the WB TV station to broadcast the Firefly Pictures to stop the drama, the TV station was able to bite the bullet to buy the trial broadcast copyright of this drama for more than two million, share the risk, and the renewal contract signed in advance, which gave good terms , Have some of his contributions.

Of course, all this premise is that "Prison Break" is really good.

After all, Firefly Pictures had no experience in making TV series before.

Once you encounter a failure, although you will not lose too much, there may be some problems with the TV station.

It is not that the board of directors cannot tolerate some setbacks in its business, but it cannot tolerate the setbacks all the time, and there is no improvement-

You know, they have spent too much to start this TV station to fill up the media puzzles of Warner, and the support is also very large.

But for so many years, even if you can't make any money, your market share is not good.

The opinions of many shareholders are getting bigger and bigger, and the number of shareholders banning TV stations is also increasing.

The warning on the bright surface is like a stone on the body of WB TV station.

The replacement of several batches of executives in three years is also clear evidence.

Barry Meyer also knows this, but if he can, he still hopes that WB TV can gain a foothold.

23 o'clock.

Half past two.

Zero point.

a little......

Soon, after the time was approaching, the sound of a phone call rang in the quiet office.

The phone in his pocket vibrated a little, and Barry Meyer stopped working in his hand and took a deep breath to relieve his tired body.He picked up the phone silently and put it to his ear.

After only a while, his eyes widened like a gaffe.

"Are the statistics surely correct?"

The voice passed through, and Charles still forced a calm confirmation: "After checking it several times, there must be no mistake."

"National average ratings: 3.2, highest ratings 3.4, A18-49 average ratings: 2.7, highest ratings 2.8."

Charles repeated it again on the phone.

Barry Meyer was stunned.

That certain and very positive tone made him have to believe.

Thus......

There is a TV series that can be played on Sunday's prime time.

What does it mean to have such data in the first episode of the pilot broadcast?

Both people on the phone are very clear.

Barry Meyer was very excited.

"The audience loss is in a very safe area." Charles was still talking.

For the pilot drama "Prison Break", this data is one of the most critical.

The numerical comparison of the highest ratings and the average ratings.

In many cases, the adaptations of some popular scripts and the broadcast of dramas that the top of the TV station admire very much, because of the large amount of warm-up resources, it is not uncommon for the first broadcast ratings to reach 3 or more, even breaking five or six.

But the difference between the highest statistic value and the average statistic value is less than 0.2, which means that most of the viewers did not watch the WB TV episode channel while watching the first episode of "Prison Break".

They are satisfied with the content of the first episode.

As for the statistical interval value of A19-49, it also represents that "Prison Break" is an absolute favorite of young people.

If the follow-up audience base remains stable, or even higher all the way, when the reputation of the TV series itself spreads, "Prison Break" will never have a ratings of 3.

The two can even see the image of advertisers opening their arms to WB TV station...

Tonight, doomed to sleepless.
