Chapter 410： not bad

That night, the viewers who had been watching wb TV station had a little more surprises.

The broadcast of the new drama has made the ratings of the original stable news program, which fell sharply after the end, a little more variable.

The nearly 50-minute episode ended quickly with some grumbling.

"Oh, how come it's over?"

"Miller, what method did he come up with to save his brother from the first-level prison?"

"Just so much, everything is ignorant. What is the relationship between the tattoo on that person and the information on the wall?"

"WB is quite interesting."

"Not enough to see."

"..."

In the evening, the audience attracted by the preview was quite satisfied.

What's more, he even ran to dial the WB TV channel, making the staff on duty in the station very busy.

The phone is going to blow up.

It is really the power of public opinion.

Drama fans see a well-made TV series, simple and enthusiastic, and most of them ask for more.

"One episode a week is not enough to watch, can you put in a few more episodes?"

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

"expect......"

In the living room of a high-end community.

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

Looking at the subject, he sighed with emotion that the plot was novel, and thought to himself, "This special scene is actually shot, how much does it cost. Who just believes that it can be successful? With such a capital, the production cost should not be one or two hundred. In case of an episode, is it worth it?"

Charles' face was very ugly.

He felt that Lyman was mentally ill.

In order to suppress him and force him, the momentum is so big, even if WB TV supports him, the money will definitely not be less, and most of the costs will not be recovered, but the ratings will never be too bad.

A lose-lose style of play.

Charles was really scared.

First it was Lionsgate, then it was the opening of the drama, which was aggressive at all costs.

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

Otherwise, let's not fight?

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 viewing rate statistics method of American dramas is relatively intuitive and very convenient.

However, it will take several hours for the entire result to be fully counted.

Although he has no way of knowing the results of "Prison Break" for the time being, the sound of praise and support, based on his experience and intuition, is estimated to be very good. At the very least, renewals are completely hassle-free.

Found a treasure.

at the same time.

The audience who kept reminiscing about the plot also expressed their appreciation to the surrounding relatives and friends of Amway's drama.

"Have you watched WB TV's new drama tonight? It's interesting."

"I recommend taking a look."

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

......

Inside Warner's headquarters.

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

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

Maybe he really appreciates it. He is just doing official business while watching the release of the ratings of "Prison Break" all night, waiting for a happy phone call?

As the key person who recommended to WB TV station to broadcast Firefly Pictures to stop the show, the TV station was able to bite the bullet and buy the pilot copyright of the show for more than 2 million, share the risk, and the renewal contract signed in advance gave good conditions. , with some of his contributions.

Of course, all of this presupposes that Prison Break is really good.

After all, Firefly Pictures had no previous experience in producing TV dramas.

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

It's not that the board of directors cannot tolerate some ups and downs in its business, but it can't tolerate the ups and downs, and there is no improvement——

You must know that they have spent too much to start this TV station and to complete Warner's media puzzle, and their support is also very strong.

But after all these years, it doesn't matter if you can't make any money, and you won't have enough market share.

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

The warning on the surface was like a stone pressing on the WB TV station.

In three years, several batches of executives have been replaced.

Barry Mayer also knows this, but if he can, he still hopes that WB TV can stand firm.

23 o'clock.

23:30.

Zero o'clock.

a little......

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

The phone in his pocket vibrated a little, Barry Mayer stopped what he was doing, took a deep breath, and relieved his tired body. He silently picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

After a while, he widened his eyes in a gaffe.

"Are you sure the statistical results are correct?"

The voice passed through, and Charles forced a calm confirmation: "I checked it several times, and it's definitely not wrong."

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

Charles repeated it over the phone.

Barry Mayer was stunned.

The definite and sure tone made him have to believe it.

Thus......

On Sunday's prime TV drama, there is one that can be played.

What does it mean that the results of the first episode of the pilot broadcast have such data?

The two people on the phone were very clear.

Barry Mayer is very excited The loss of audience is in a very safe area. "Charles continued.

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

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

Many times, some of the adaptations of popular scripts and TV shows that are highly appreciated by TV executives are broadcast. Because of the investment of a lot of pre-heating resources, it is not uncommon for the first broadcast to have a rating of more than 3, even breaking five or six.

However, the difference between the highest statistical value and the average statistical value is less than 0.2, which means that most of the viewers watched the WB TV drama channel without changing the channel during the first episode of "Prison Break".

They were satisfied with the content of the first episode.

As for the statistical interval value of A19-49, it represents that "Prison Break" is definitely a drama that young people love to watch.

If the follow-up audience base can still be stable, or even go up all the way, when the word-of-mouth of the TV series itself spreads, "Prison Break" will never have only 3 ratings.

The two can even see the advertiser opening his arms to WB TV...

Tonight is doomed to have no sleep.
