Chapter 410 It's OK
That night, the audience who had been watching wb TV station had a little more surprise.
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, why is it over?"
"Miller, what method did he come up with to rescue his brother from the first-degree prison?"
"Just so much, everything is ignorant. What is the relationship between the tattoo on that person and the information on the wall?"
"The WB show 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, which made the staff on duty in the station very busy.
The phone is going to blow up.
It is the power of public opinion.
Fans see a well-made show, simple and enthusiastic, mostly asking 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 residential area.
If the tense atmosphere of WB TV is a little more relaxed, then Charles, who has watched this episode of "Prison Break" at this time, is quite uncomfortable.
He looked at the subject, and while feeling the novelty of the plot, he thought to himself, "This special scene is a real 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 game.
Charles was really scared.
First Lionsgate, then the show, aggressive and aggressive at all costs.
In this battle, Charles felt that he might not be able to resist.
Otherwise, don't fight?
Lyman is a lunatic, why should he fight with people with abnormal brains.
When Charles was thinking silently, the director of WB TV showed a long-lost smile.
The viewing rate statistics of American dramas are more intuitive and convenient.
But the whole result will take several hours to be fully counted.
Although he has not yet been able to know the results of "Prison Break", 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.
For the audience who kept reminiscing about the plot,
They also shared this drama with their relatives and friends in the surrounding area.
"Have you watched the new drama on WB TV tonight? It's interesting."
"I recommend taking a look."
"From the level of this 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 results 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 doing business like this, while watching the ratings of "Prison Break" all night, waiting for some happy 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 sign the renewal contract in advance, which gave good conditions. , with some of his contributions.
Of course, all of this presupposes that Prison Break is really good.
After all, Firefly Pictures has no previous experience in producing TV series.
Once it fails, although it 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 cannot tolerate all 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 complement Warner's media puzzle, and their support is also very large.
But after so many years, even if you can't make any money, you won't be able to gain 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 is like a stone pressing on the body of WB TV station.
In three years, several batches of executives have been replaced.
Barry Mayer knows this too, but if he can, he still wants WB to stand firm.
23 o'clock.
23:30.
zero.
a little......
Soon, after the time was approaching, there was a phone call in the quiet office.
The phone in his pocket vibrated a little, and Barry Mayer stopped what he was doing and took a deep breath to ease 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 still forced a calm confirmation: "I checked it several times, and there is no mistake."
"U.S. average rating: 3.2, peak rating 3.4, A18-49 average rating: 2.7, peak rating 2.8."
Charles repeated it over the phone.
Barry Mayer froze.
That certain and very sure tone made him have to believe it.
Thus......
There is one TV drama that can be played on Sunday's prime time.
What does it mean to have such data on the results of the first episode of the pilot.
The two on the phone were very clear.
Barry Mayer is excited.
"The loss of audience is in a very safe area," Charles continued.
For a pilot series like Prison Break, this data is one of the most critical.
Numerical comparison of peak ratings and average ratings.
Many times, some of the adaptations of popular scripts and dramas that TV executives appreciate very much are broadcast. Because of the investment of a lot of pre-heating resources, it is not uncommon for the ratings of the first broadcast to reach 3 or more, 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 audience watched the WB TV drama channel without changing the channel during the first episode of "Prison Break".
They were all 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 pair can even see footage of the advertiser opening his arms to WB TV...
Tonight, doomed to sleepless.
