"Wow——!!"

Listening to the end music full of mystery and suspense, looking at the scrolling subtitle list, Joshua just came back to his senses from the world on the screen, and looked excitedly at Wang Yang on the right: "Dude, wow!!! I'm sure, I'm sure it's going to be a hit, it's so good-looking! It's really exciting to look forward to the next episode, looking forward to the following story." ”

He clapped his hands vigorously, slapped Wang Yang's shoulders again, and said with emotion: "Haha, TV is all policemen, doctors, and funny comedies...... It's such a novelty and surprise, I love death prison!" Jessica, who was sitting on the far right of the sofa, was also applauding happily, there would be no problem with this play! Hearing her brother's words, she immediately glared and laughed and shouted, "Hey, what are you talking about? That's a nasty place." ”

"Yes, yes!" Joshua nodded and smiled, "But I love Prison Break!" He whistled, raised his hand and swayed his body, "YOYO!

"This tattoo alone won't work. Wang Yang looked at the TV screen and smiled, the atmosphere of watching TV at home with his family is really different, very dedicated, warm, and very nervous, any ideas can be shared at any time, there are tens of millions of people who have the same feeling just now, right? ”

Looking at the quiet and serious Joshua, he continued: "The premiere audience of this series will definitely be lost, there are really dislikes and other reasons. Therefore, the ratings of "Prison Break" are not high, because after spending so much work in the early stage, how many people can be attracted to this TV market tonight, and then retain the vast majority of people, and the lost audience is replenished by new audiences, so that there is hope that it will not decline, but hit a record high. ”

"So how do you keep people, isn't it now? oh of course now!" Joshua patted his forehead, can't such a wonderful first episode keep the audience? He asked, a little confused, "How many viewers are lost, why do you have to lose?" You say there are other reasons. ”

"You can't keep everybody, make everybody happy, you can't have any TV series. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, the TV set is like a supermarket, the drama is just a brand commodity, and even the hottest brand will not monopolize the entire market. He thought and said: "The psychology of the audience is very complicated, in fact, genre dramas like "Prison Break" have a very difficult point. ”

There was a car advertisement on the TV screen, and Joshua looked at Wang Yang's side face, only to see him spread his hands and say: "Because its main audience is not housewives, there will definitely be many people who say that this drama brings thinking! It's not emotional ideological activities, it's thinking about those prison escape plans, one link after another, oh that's bad! Brother, this is digging a trap for yourself." ”

Jessica looked at the two of them with a smile, stood up silently from the couch, packed up her drink glass and other things, and walked to the kitchen.

"Why?" asked Joshua in passing. Wang Yang put his arm on his shoulders and said with a smile: "You have got one of the most discerning audiences! When a guy drinks plain water, he doesn't say, 'Oh my God, this glass of water is 30 years old, is it? It's made in France?' he just says, 'Wow, I'm not thirsty now, this glass of water is so refreshing.' But when another man drinks red wine, he will say, 'It's not thirsty, but it doesn't taste right, French grapes don't taste like that.' ’”

"People who drink plain water are not picky, they don't care about blaming things that don't make sense, as long as you don't go crazy and move the earth out of the solar system, except for science fiction. Wine drinkers like to taste and think, and the slightest irrationality will touch their nerves. So sometimes the smarter, more professional, more meticulous you do, the more thankless it is, and sometimes you do another audience, and you find that you are really happy. ”

Joshua nodded thoughtfully, and Wang Yang raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, human society is like this, it is impossible to change. "MIT-21-TEAM" and "The Devil Wears Prada" made him deeply aware of this, the former needs to figure out card counting, group operation, and wit duels, and the latter only needs to put all kinds of brand-name luxury goods on his body, and the female audience will scream when they see those brand logos.

"It's a commercial problem of the market if it's small, and it's a sociological problem when it's big. You either don't do it, or you try to do it well. To give you an example, "Band of Brothers" has a lot of military fans in its audience, and if there is the slightest mistake in it, they will all say, "That gun and that tank are not of the right model; the airborne troops are not like this, and the war is not ......fought like this."

Pointing to the TV screen, Wang Yang smiled and continued: "It seems that "Prison Break" just now, I am sure that many viewers will say that it is not reality, the current prison!"

"During the day and evening, you are always in a state of being monitored, 24 hours a day, there will be no possibility of leaving the line of sight of the prison guards, and there will be no chance of running to a barn alone; when you visit the prison, there will be police watching, there will be surveillance and video, you can't play tricks; every time you enter and leave the prison area, you have to search your body, you can't go back with contraband, and there will be no murder weapon in a fight; there is no beautiful doctor in the prison clinic......"

If we talk about the original, there are even more loopholes. Prisoners do not and cannot do private work for the prison warden, the prison sewers will be equipped with some iron fences to prevent escape, prisoners are absolutely monitored by prison guards while working, and it is impossible to take the opportunity to dig tunnels...... If all of this happens, it can only mean that it is a TV series.

The current broadcast of "Prison Break" is as close to reality as possible, transforming the problems of reality into more actions and crises, making the entire prison escape plan more and more difficult, thus removing the water and unreasonable settings.

It's just that no matter how it is improved, there are still these "predecessors" experience, but some loopholes will inevitably exist, otherwise the whole drama will not be established.

"These are the reasons for losing audiences, and you have to be convincing! Wang Yang raised his fist, smiled at Joshua with a deep face, and asked: I have been in prison, even if I haven't been there, won't we find out? But brother, any drama and a movie are completely based on reality, and it can't make up those wonderful stories. ”

He shook his head and smiled: "This is really not good, this can't be done, no matter what drama, film and television works will have its unreasonableness, just for the sake of the story, "Friends" has a lot of loopholes, "CSI" actually has a lot of loopholes......"

"Isn't this a screenwriter's job?" Joshua frowned suddenly, he wasn't a screenwriter genius. Wang Yang said seriously: "Production is a very complex and multifaceted job, you need to understand the whole production, the whole market and all aspects of the situation, you will know the market positioning, know what problems are in a script, and then know how to communicate with the director and screenwriter to find a way to solve it together." ”

Joshua nodded understandingly, it seems that he needs to read more books, and to be a good producer, he really needs to know a lot...... Looking at the TV screen, he scratched his head again and asked, "What about the loopholes in Prison Break, why can't I feel any loopholes?"

"We worked it out. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and looked at the advertising that was about to end on the screen, the second episode was about to begin! He concluded: "First of all, the vast majority of viewers have never been in prison, and they know that this is a TV series, no one likes TV dramas that are exactly the same as reality, as long as we are a little closer to reality and exaggerate within a reasonable range, it will be very realistic; secondly, this is a TV series, the most important thing about "Prison Break" is suspense, tension and excitement, do this well, the audience will like it too." ”

Jessica, who came out of the kitchen, silently put a few drinks on the coffee table, stroked her palms and sat down next to Wang Yang, picked up a glass of red frozen watermelon juice and handed it to him, Wang Yang said thank you, she smiled slightly.

"You said it was solved, then the current "Prison Break" ......" Joshua casually picked up a glass of lemon juice and took a sip, suddenly frowning sourly, and his whole body was excited, but his excitement soared, and he was overjoyed: "Yang, you mean that you have done both of these aspects, and it is perfect?"

"I really hate to say that, but it is. Wang Yang smiled without modesty, took a sip of the drink, and a refreshing sweetness came to his heart. He looked at the screen, nodded and smiled: "You can just keep watching! If you are attracted to the first episode, like it or are interested, then from the second episode, you will find that you can't stop, you can't stop at all." That's why we asked NBC to broadcast the first week. ”

Suddenly there were a few gunshots from the TV stereo, Wentworth Miller's voice: "Previously-on-Prison-Break", in the mysterious music, the second episode was revisited before the episode, and tens of millions of viewers in front of the TV screen were refreshed and started!

"Ahhhhh A soft and majestic voice: "Now no one wants you to turn the stage, stop arguing! A gruff voice: "My second half is also gone." "Stop arguing!" ...... Looking at these first episode reviews, Rachel on the sofa thought about it for a while, full of mystery, suspense and expectation, and didn't feel that there was any unreasonableness or procrastination, which made her want to joke about "soap operas"! She pursed her lips and shook her head, that guy was surprised as soon as he made a move! Without waiting for the review to end, she immediately plunged into the picture and concentrated on watching the show!

In what way can we satirize this set of "Prison Break" and hit its ratings? In the office of the CBS program department, Caleb Dill frowned slightly, and even thought about the work of the distribution and public relations department, but he thought about it and didn't have any feasible words at all.

If you attack the story setting that doesn't match reality, they will become the laughing stock of the industry, the first day you watched the TV series, or do you think it's a documentary? "CSI", which is known for its rigor, has flaws. The audience won't buy it, and damn it, there's nothing to criticize about "Prison Break" right now!

Caleb Dill covered his forehead, looked at his colleagues and subordinates were also silent, and when he heard the tense soundtrack of the opening credits "Ding Ding Ding" after 5 minutes of playing, he coughed unnaturally, let's see how about the second episode first.

As the screen moves forward with time, the brows of the CBS and ABC executives of the main competitors in the two major periods are getting tighter and tighter, and "Damn Jan" has been said countless times by different people who are unwilling to go crazy; "Damn Jan" has also been said more affectionately by the audience, Rachel, Claire and all other North American audiences are more and more surprised and fascinated the more they watch it, they originally thought that the first episode was good enough, but who knew that the second episode would be more suspenseful and exciting!

Watching T-Bag, played by Robert Knepp, pull out his white trouser pocket and stick out his tongue to look perverted, many viewers scolded: "Pervert, garbage!", "It's disgusting." "It's definitely a nuisance. Seeing Michael Schofield's appearance, countless female and gay viewers muttered, "Why is he so handsome?"

"Woo-" The shrill siren of sirens resounded through the living rooms of thousands of households, accompanied by a tense soundtrack, and the prisoners in the prison barn rioted frantically as the conflicts between the gangs intensified. Looking at the chaotic scenes on the screen, T-Bag's hideousness and Schofield's surrounded by danger, the audience couldn't help but hold their breath and let their hearts beat faster. Rachel hugged the pillow and leaned forward and muttered, "I'm out of breath now!"

"Oh my God, oh my God!" In a women's apartment building at the University of San Francisco, three girls in a three-person room watched a TV rented by the same money, but fortunately they were all fans of Magic Yang of varying degrees, and no one had any objection to watching "Prison Break" in the dormitory tonight. Evelyn felt her heart tense so hard that her forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat, and her breathing became rapid.

Sophia, a white girl who stayed with her roommate, glanced at her, although the plot was very tense, but it wasn't so exaggerated! This guy was really devoted! The black-haired Chinese girl Lillian asked, "Evelyn, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the riot was quelled by the prison guards, Evelyn exhaled, wiped her forehead and said, "I, I'm so nervous......"

"Squeak, squeak—" On the screen, Schofield squatted beside the washbox, holding a long screw and gently twisting the screws of the washbox, the camera swept his calm face, only to see that the screws were screwed out, and he twisted a few more in the same way, gently opening a small crack between the walls at once, and the camera suddenly entered the sewer behind the wall, a new world of prison escape.

Wow! Evelyn couldn't help but shout, this is how it started! Claire, Rachel and all the other spectators felt a torrent rushing through their hearts, and then they were occupied by excitement and anticipation for the future; countless families who competed for the remote control and finally watched "Prison Break" also let out a "wow!" I don't know how many times tonight, the blonde girl looked at her mother with a smile on her face, and laughed: "Mom, I'm not wrong, right? Now that the remote control is for you, you're ready to turn the table!" The rough voice also jumped up: "It's a touchdown!" Can you see him running into the sewers in the next episode? "......" is a bit of a big problem. "CBS office, Caleb Dill said in a soft voice, but the annoyance on his face let others know his mood, but why don't they? Looking at this story with no moisture, tight rhythm and precise content, the second episode has already been ** overlapped, and then left suspense, this is definitely a magical episode, even these "enemies" will be a little nervous to watch it with the intention of carefully feeling and analyzing in detail, what about ordinary viewers?

Caleb Dill sighed secretly with his hands on his chest, he suggested to the senior management at that time not to despise Wang Yang, and to compete for this wonder boy as much as possible, this season is "Prison Break", what about the future? As a result, they have "CSI", "CSI: Miami", "Missing Detective Team", "Navy Criminal Investigation Service" and other hot crime dramas, they think that CBS's style is the embodiment of justice, and it is not suitable to mix with crime dramas like "Prison Break".

He remembers very much that at the meeting, their queen president, Nancy Tellem, who single-handedly created shows such as "Survivor" and "Everybody Loves Raymond", laughed: "Don't take Wang Yang too seriously, let's just do our best." ”

But now, there are a lot of people who are starting to regret it, right? Watching the gang leader cut off Michael Schofield's toes, the countdown to the end of the second episode is over, leaving a huge suspense, and there is still nothing to criticize! Caleb Dill closed his eyes and muttered, "This time it's a big problem." ”

"Damn, I knew! We should have snatched that kid in the first place, oh damn it!!What are we doing now!!"...... In the spacious living room, Samantha Jones suddenly laughed, turned her head to look at her father Paul Jones, and said excitedly: "Dad, I really don't know what you're worried about? God, what are you worried about? This show is so incredible! I don't think you need to worry about anything, it can't be only 10 million viewers, I said!" She thought for a while and shouted, "15 million!"

"I hope!" Knowing that his daughter was genuinely fascinated by "Prison Break", Paul Jones's heart was even more determined, and a rare smile appeared on his face tonight. Samantha Jones immediately pleaded again: "You have to tell me, Dad, did Michael get his toe cut off? I won't say it, I swear! I swear to my blog! I swear to God!" Paul Jones said without hesitation, "No." Another soft voice: "Samantha, don't embarrass your father." ”

“OK，OK。 Samantha Jones jumped off the couch and walked to the room in high spirits: "I'll call Wonder Young myself!" Paul Jones laughs, "He won't say anything." ”

"Damn! I want to watch the third episode, the third episode!!Oh my God, I'll see it next week!" Claire cursed, and suddenly understood what Magic Young was saying, indeed, if she could fast forward to the next week immediately, she would be tempted to press it once! While thinking about the content of the movie review, Claire walked to the bedroom with a curse, what should I write?The surprise brought by this series is really indescribable...... Rachel muttered softly, "cool", the second episode was completely captivating at once, that feeling returned, the strong feeling of holding the TV without eating, sleeping, and not leaving the sofa for half a step was back! If the disc of the 24 episodes of "Prison Break" was placed next to it, she would definitely watch it in one go, it was terrible!

"I won't be able to see the third episode until next week!" Despite being accustomed to this pattern, there are still countless viewers who are maddened to face this fact, 7 days later!! Who came up with the weekly episode? It's a mental torture!

"Wow, man, I can't stop! Jesus, I think housewives will love it too, that Wentworth Miller is so handsome and so good-looking, why don't you love it?" Joshua, who had come back to his senses, turned his head excitedly, only to see Wang Yang and Jessica, who were sitting at the farthest distance, talking to each other affectionately, and the atmosphere of affection and sweetness seemed to completely ignore him. Joshua spread his hands, got up and walked to the other side of the gate: "Grandpa, I'm leaving, bye!"

Although the time entered the middle of the night, the network's drama forum appeared one post after another commenting on "Prison Break", with a variety of topics: "Such a prison is unrealistic. "Prison Break" bugs. However, at a glance, there are more exclamation points on the page, except for a few picks that say "there are a lot of questions, but there is a lot of suspense", the attitude of the fans of the show is almost one-sided.

Evelyn posted, "All that is on my mind right now is Prison Break, and I'm thinking about what those props are for, the whole plan for the Prison Break...... Like MIT-21-TEAM, this show is amazingly smart!" Alan D posted: "There's no doubt that 'Prison Break' will be the biggest surprise of this fall season, and Fantastic Young is so welcome to join the TV show!!" ...... Soon September 15th was over, the night was driven away by the day, and the next day, when NBC's executives saw the 15th ratings report fed back by Nielsen, just like the reaction of CBS, ABC and others, they were shocked!

Then the NBC executives couldn't hold back and laughed, and it turned out that Marvelous Young was so humble——!! so fucking humble this time!!

"It's a huge win. NBC spokeswoman Rebeca-Marks happily told the public, "We're very happy to see NBC's Monday happen." We've received a lot of feedback from viewers, five stars! We know how good it is for the next 22 episodes, so we started to negotiate with Wang Yang to book a second season, believing that "Prison Break" will be one of NBC's trump cards. ”
