Hollywood legendary director

July 22, Saturday, this day is the end of the first season of Breaking Bad.

In other words, after two months of broadcasting, tonight will be the time to end it briefly.

Unlike the slightly embarrassing ratings at the beginning of the broadcast, the popularity of slow-moving dramas has grown extremely steadily under the condition of ensuring the quality. Most people don't want to climb out after they really enter this pit.

Lao Bai, this hapless guy really paid for and enjoyed his ambition after the countdown to his life.

Although he is a villain, he is not attractive.

Therefore, when night fell, many people stayed in front of the TV and locked the Fox Channel.

East Side of Chicago.

Eli is the one waiting for "Breaking Bad" to play.

On weekdays, in his high school, many classmates like to discuss this TV series. Gradually, he became fascinated by this drama. It should be watched on time every week, or the urgent desire to watch the movie made him unwilling. Missed the broadcast of the new episode.

After the familiar title, the story begins.

Last time, after Lao Bai started selling du, his sister-in-law Aqiang's anti-drug police soon discovered that there was an extra 91% pure ice du product on the market, and began to trace the source of the goods. .

After a lot of effort, the Narcotics Enforcement Bureau discovered that Lao Bai's school had missing corresponding materials, and immediately started to inquire. Of course, there was not much discovery.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaofan wanted to sell her ruined house, and the real estate manager desperately promoted the customer, but everyone had questions about the corroded ceiling...

When Lao Bai and Ah Ruth reached a deal and threw the money they got to Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan was surprised how Lao Bai got the money from such a person.

This section is a very classic technique, a flattery of identity, a successful co-operation on a ruthless person who likes to eat black in the road, which itself brings a sense of coolness and dramatic tension.

In the audience's appreciation of Lao Bai, Lao Bai proposed to make 2 pounds of du products to complete the transaction. Xiao Fan was depressed and said that the raw materials were insufficient and could not be produced.

Sure enough, on the day of the deal, Ah Ruan was very angry in the abandoned car yard, feeling that his time was wasted.

However, Lao Bai still asked Aruen to give all the funds first, and pointed out that he was out of stock now.

After this embarrassment was revealed, Ah-Hen didn't want to suffer and fell under the wind, saying that if he believed it again and couldn't produce enough goods, he would make Lao Bai look good.

Seeing Lao Bai's self-assertion, Xiao Fan was unhappy.

But things have already been said. In Xiaofen's thoughts, Lao Bai proposed to use a new synthetic extraction method to make du products, and wrote a list for Xiaofen to buy.

Then, after the transition of a plot of the old white wife and sister stealing jewelry, the episode came to a small climax at the end.

That is to say, after A hard tried the product, he was occupied by the du product and directly beat him to death because of a gossip. After seeing the blood, he did not intend to stop at all.

This makes Lao Bai and Xiao Fan feel that doing business with this neurotic and extremely tyrannical person is always in danger.

With Lao Bai's open mouth and a very surprised mood, the first season ended.

At this moment, the viewers watching "Breaking Bad" in front of the televisions of countless families all felt a little bit of a sense of loss.

......

In fact, the influence of the first season of "Breaking Bad" did not surpass that of "The Walking Dead" and "Prison Break", but in terms of word-of-mouth, or higher standards of production, it is the most touted one of Firefly so far. TV series.

Newspaper media and iron fan audiences are all very enthusiastic. They have put forward a lot of discussion articles about the play, and they specifically dig into the characters in the play.

But this night, Fox TV.

After the technicians got the real-time ratings, they immediately ran to inform the senior leadership.

"How much?" someone asked anxiously.

"It broke 6.3. The highest viewership population is over 19.50 million, and the average viewership is 18.8 million, which is a very low drop."

"Good, good." The senior staff were extremely excited, and the entire TV station staff cheered.

You know, after experiencing the astonishing gap during the trial broadcast, how can Fox be unhappy to be able to counterattack all the way with word of mouth?

Compared to laymen, they can also better understand what this projection represents.

Profits, fame, basic audiences...These are all within easy reach of "Breaking Bad" as long as the reputation does not collapse.

After the viewing data of the relevant time period were calculated, it was like a hurricane, which quickly blew all over the American television circle.

After all, it's not easy to think about it that a drama with a bad start can achieve such results at the end, as well as higher and more gorgeous data.

Under the night sky, it is not so acceptable to many people.

Barry Meyer got up from the bed and sat in the study alone, concentrating.

The news that was just notified to him really made him irritable, so that he couldn't sleep at night.

For people of his age, sleep is not easy, let alone being affected, and the mind is uneasy.

There was a time when Lyman was the director he most praised, and the broadcasting platform of "Prison Break" was the WB contact he went to find, also because of his recognition of his production ability.

On the day "The Walking Dead" was broadcast, he was even more happy to learn the ratings data...

Barry Meyer and Lyman have no hatred. Strictly speaking, Warner's scruples and suppression of partners will suppress them, and there will be no regrets.

Because Barry Meyer knows that rookies often change, which studio has not had a good history. There is Carlock Pictures farther away, new lines closer, and then DreamWorks...Firefly is just another An influential family.

Maybe a few years later, when talents are squandered, the day will come when they quickly fall.

One thing that these studios have in common is that they don’t have much anti-risk ability. The failure of several projects easily affects the capital chain, and then falls into a financial crisis, panic and distraction...

Too many repetitions and results are staged in Hollywood, and only a few studios still stand on the top of the mountain and watch the evolution of the situation.

Warner has such confidence.

But for some reason, Barry Meyer suddenly felt something different from Firefly.

It's not about how profitable it is, but that it takes every step of the way steadily. In the blink of an eye, it becomes a trend and becomes a sense of presence. Sometimes, it is very obtrusive, and when it is cleared, it feels that there is no limit if you don't want to spend much effort.

Squeeze the theater resources, people can take a small part of the theater and still produce hit movies.

Even TV productions, dramas about midlife crisis that are most likely to fail, can achieve such results.

Barry Meyer knew about the project. Seriously, there were no hot spots, the subject matter was not novel, the scene was not grand, and the actor didn't say any passersby.

But the audience just likes it?why?

He was a little confused.

Or is there any magic of fireflies that can attract audiences spontaneously?

"Superman Returns" failed, and Batman did not reach a consensus on production.

Barry Meyer picked up the company's preparatory project report and looked through it one by one, only to feel almost meaningless.

"Do you really want to give in first?" he thought to himself.

......

A man's unhappy call is putting pressure on the parent company.

This person is Jayden Bryan, the director of HBO.

Seeing the good results of "Breaking Bad", thinking about the reputation of the sequel and the project dividends that Fox TV received, Brian never forgets this matter.

Obviously because of the broadcasting of "The Walking Dead", HBO and Firefly have established a good relationship foundation. Brian often takes the initiative to get close to Lehman to deepen the relationship. As a result, because of a cooperative adjustment of the studio, the two are divided. Affect the pond fish?

If it hadn't been signed for the broadcasting rights of the sequel to "The Walking Dead" long ago, Brian felt that the show would have to be converted. He believed that Lyman would do so.

In fact, since the end of the first season, he didn't care much about the drama, and even the related income was given to Gaomeng and EMI in exchange for funding and resource support.

The celebration banquet created in the play is not often attended. Is this attitude not obvious?

Lehman is not a person who does not hold grudges. On the contrary, he is not very tolerant of this piece, and the more he is in a high position, the harder he can let go.

After carefully reviewing the data situation that night, the steady, not much ups and downs of ratings from beginning to end really made him greedy-if "Breaking Bad" chooses to play on HBO, how many stable paying users should it bring?

Subscription is the lifeblood of HBO-and the author.

Moreover, since the old things are over, a new page must be opened.

He called, hoping to adjust his attitude towards the fireflies and show him a win...
