"HEY! Did you watch "The Big Bang Theory" last night? It's so interesting!" In the youthful school, bright office and other places, this sentence has become the latest way to greet many friends and colleagues, and the latest topic of casual conversation: "Look, Wang Yang really didn't disappoint!" "Sheldon is so funny! I am absolutely optimistic about that actor." "Look at my blog! I wrote a comment, hehe, I want to laugh when I think about it. "......" is really a string theory! The coolest drama I've ever seen. "MIT, CIT, UCLA and other colleges and universities geek nerds laugh and talk, "MIT-21-TEAM" makes mathematics, statistics, econometrics and other departments in the limelight, and now it is finally the turn of the physics department! Although this new drama that has only been broadcast for two episodes has not yet been heard of in the streets, it has been a die-hard diehard, including a group of IT practitioners in Silicon Valley, Blogger, Google, Yahoo and many other employees haha discussed, they are more or less geeks who are engaged in IT: "Yes! Fantastic Young's cameo is so hilarious that Force Attack is a great idea. "When do you think Google will appear?"

In the "office" of Google's headquarters with a governance index of 0.2, a golden retriever dog walks around, some people are immersed in computer desks programming programs, some people are playing guitars, some people are playing game consoles, and a group of people are sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and laughing about "The Big Bang Theory", "Endless Tasks" appeared in the first two episodes, and there were several Bloggers, and they don't know if it counts as product placement; I think that the interview between Brin and Page in Playboy will be used by Wang Yang to make fun of it, "Haha!" "...... "A lot of scientific theories in it are very interesting. "I feel like Wang Yang is laughing at us people. There is also a lot of discussion about "TBBT" on high school campuses across the United States, and the high school nerds who watched "Freaks and Nerds" are already college students, and now the new nerds only know the new drama "The Big Bang Theory", some are happy and excited, and some are nervous and indignant: "It seems that he hasn't been bullied by those garbage before." "He's very good at fighting, but laughing at nerds? Asian? certainly not like that." ”

"Please! you really don't know anything about Magic Young, he's a geek! You should check out his blog, he exposed his comic book collection a few days ago, and he also plays World of Warcraft, but he doesn't know what the character's nickname is......"

"Forever enemy number seven, haha! I wonder if Sheldon will like Fireflies in the future?", "Yesterday's two episodes were so exciting, I just went to IMDB and gave them a 9.5 rating. "The Big Bang Theory has shocked the geek community across the United States, in addition to schools, the IT industry, the animation industry like Blue Sky Studios, cartoonists, and so on...... Countless people are excited and worried that it will be cut, and if you lose "The Big Bang Theory", it will be like going back to the dark Middle Ages!

That's not all, if Magic Young fails, what other studio channel will dare to try geek-themed comedy? Anyway, they can't think of any funnier and more engaging way: "Who are Sheldon's prototypes?", "I have to go to Wonder Young's blog and ask about the possibility of Sheldon Penny!" ...... But is "The Big Bang Theory" only loved by nerds, geeks, and what about the rest of the audience? What were its opening ratings?

"How much?", "Has it passed 18 million?", "What about 18-49?", just like CBS, ABC, and the Rockefeller Center building of NBC headquarters in New York at this time, the entertainment department was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and everyone asked each other for the latest news, what is the ratings report given by Nielsen? It seems that the average number of people in the two episodes has exceeded the predetermined target of 18 million, and some people have said that they have said 20 million, and 18-49 some say that they are not particularly surprised, and some say that they have exploded, and these uncertainties make them even more worried.

According to the normal procedure, NBC invited the most loyal "Friends" viewers and non-"Friends" viewers to make internal evaluations, and the two groups of people of different ages are of little interest, and even many people say "boring", in fact, they all know that this set of dramas really can't afford to provoke the beams, but just spend the last popular resources of "Friends", and if you don't use it now, it will expire soon; after all, advertisers like "Joey" a lot , and there are no good new dramas, just a stopgap measure to try your luck.

"The Big Bang Theory" has that kind of champion temperament, either "the king is invincible" or "Black Hawk Falls", they chose to press the treasure on it, can they keep the 8:00-8:30 PMs on Thursday, can they beat CBS's "Two and a Half Heroes" and other dramas, and become the new darling of the public!

"Whew! Magic Young, Magic Young, Magic ......Young" Yesterday, Thursday, September 30th, the ratings report was placed on the desk, but Kevin Rayleigh didn't open it for a long time to watch, he seemed to use magic to mumble Young, pulling the tie knot in front of his neck, New York entered October The weather is gradually getting colder, but he feels stuffy all over, and his heart is beating very fast and heavily, is Magic Young's law still effective?

"God forbid!" Kevin Rayleigh gritted his teeth and slowly opened the blue paper, closing it again......! KEVIN RAYLEIGH SUDDENLY OPENED THE FILE AND LOOKED AT IT, HIS FACE WAS EXPRESSIONLESS FOR A WHILE, HE LET OUT A LONG BREATH, LEANED BACK IN HIS CHAIR AND PRESSED HIS FOREHEAD, OH-DEAR-GOD!HE SHOOK HIS HEAD AND LAUGHED, "IT WORKS......"

"It-orks!It-Still-orks!"ABC, seeing this ratings report, the new group CEO Anne Sweeney was overjoyed, naturally not because of the poor ratings of 5.5 million on the average of the three programs of the prime-time ABC channel last night, but the "magic young's law", which is still valid!!

21.28 million!22.7 million! "The Big Bang Theory" achieved a big opening rating, with an average of 21.99 million for the two episodes! The highest ratings of the night came at the end of the second episode, which was the Chinese restaurant scene in which Fantastic Young and Bradley Cooper made cameos, which was watched by more than 23.65 million viewers across the United States! However, the most surprising thing was that the number of viewers in the 18-49 age group reached an exaggerated high! 15/23 and 16/24 respectively!

A set of data can show how excited everyone is in NBC at this moment, the average revenue of the first season of "Friends" in the 94-95 season is 14.88 million, the peak of the 01-02 season is 24.5 million, ranking first in the year, and the tenth season last year is 20.84 million; the second ace "Will and Grace" 98-99 averages 12.3 million in the first season and 15.2 million in the sixth season last year; CBS's ace "Everybody Loves Raymond" 96-97 has 10.6 million in the first season and 15.4 million in the last season, and it will be played this year; "Two and a Half Heroes" averaged 13.3 million in the first quarter of last year.

"Prison Break" intercepted two sets of CBS sitcoms on Monday, and now "Prison Break" fans, "Friends" fans, and Magic Young fans...... The second episode is even higher than the first episode, and the viewers who watched the first episode continue to watch, and new viewers are coming to the channel! It's for the reason why the magical director leads the "The Hangover" legion to make a cameo, and the super high ratings of 18-49 mean high advertising costs!

Today, when the production cost of dramas is getting higher and higher, and all the requirements are getting more and more sophisticated, it is really rare to be able to use this old-fashioned multi-camera sitcom to create the best sitcom and drama series in recent years! It seems that "The Big Bang Theory" has perfectly and firmly picked up the baton of "Friends", continued the tradition of "Thursday NBC Comedy Night", and become another must-watch series for young Americans, right?

Although there is a magical Young's law, it seems that it is not possible to make a conclusion on this, and it seems that it will not be until the third and fourth episodes...... I didn't know until the end of the season, but now, everyone is enjoying the joy, except CBS.

In the Black Rock Building, the headquarters of CBS, the entertainment department was covered in an oppressive cloud of gloom, as if the day after the start of "Prison Break" last year, and the conference rooms on the upper floors were silent.

If you look at yesterday's ratings alone, CBS shouldn't be so depressed, because "The Big Bang Theory" is only the runner-up, the champion is "CSI" from PM9:00 to 10:00, 26.6 million, and the second season of NBC's "Flying Yellow" has only 16.1 million viewers, and from 10:00 to 11:00, CBS's "Missing Detectives" won NBC's "Emergency Room Story" with 18.9 million Lost with 18.6 million?

"We need a capable producer like Wang Yang, we need new sitcoms, new support. Nancy Tellum spoke slowly, as if she had aged a few years overnight, and the managers on both sides of the table nodded silently. They had a chance to get Magic Young, but if they were determined enough, now they don't have "Prison Break," they don't have Monday Championships, they don't have "The Big Bang Theory," they don't have a new era of sitcoms, and maybe they don't have "Desperate Housewives."

"Everybody Loves Raymond" is coming to an end, "Two and a Half Heroes" is not mature enough, what else do they have? Nancy Tellum looks at some of the new orders for the coming year on the file, "The Romance of Mom and Dad", "The Doctor's Biography", "Pursuit of Erielan", how are they?

"Yay!", "Wow!" bursts of thunderous applause rang out in the conference room of the NBC Entertainment Department, Kevin Rayleigh, Paul Jones and others cheered excitedly, as long as they hugged the magic young, any beautiful ratings will come! There is no way not to hold on, there is no hope for the mixed dramas on Friday and Saturday, and the old dramas on Sunday will not suddenly break out, and the prime-time drama program rankings in a week: "Prison Break", "The Big Bang Theory", "Flying Huang Tengda" with declining ratings, and "" "ER Story" ...... "Young, tell us? Do you have any ideas for other episodes?If "The Big Bang Theory" gets a rating, will you make another one?" After a lot of cheers and celebrations, Kevin Rayleigh once again lured Wang Yang, who was in Los Angeles on the phone, and a group of department managers who were smiling toothlessly also helped: "Young, let's have another one!", "We're going to take Wednesday down next season!" Kevin Rayleigh laughed again and said, "We promise you what you want." Let the room burst into laughter.

"Thanks, guys, thank you, really not. Hearing their words, Wang Yang was a little ridiculous, the producer and creator of the two sets of dramas are almost the limit, unless he doesn't make movies, or he doesn't take holidays and rest and doesn't accompany his family, otherwise how can he have so much time? He loves his work, but he will never go to the point of going crazy regardless of life, not to mention that he has a major plan to have a baby next year. He smiled, "I'm very happy to have achieved this result, let's find a way to keep it up!"

Another problem with planning too much is that it is very likely to mess everything up, and it is never about working more than the better, and the combination of work and rest and happiness in life is the best state. However, Wang Yang is not optimistic that "The Big Bang Theory" can retain all the 21.99 million viewers, and there will inevitably fall back after the rise, although it is already very mature and at its peak, and every episode in the future is the essence, but it still takes time to accumulate and cooperate with the times for this theme to be loved by more people. It's very, very satisfying to be able to maintain an average of 19 million to 20 million viewers in the first season, but he believes that as geek elements such as blogs, Google, and video games play an increasingly important role in people's lives, the ratings will also increase.

Kevin Rayleigh didn't want to let go of Santa Claus easily, and smiled at the conference phone: "Then even if you don't make it, you have to give us some gifts, right?" Wang Yang asked: "What gift?" Kevin Rayleigh smiled very bluntly: "The new drama show of Flame Family Entertainment, the kind you are optimistic about." In the midst of everyone's laughter, Wang Yang over there pretended to be disappointed: "Oh, I thought you invited me to "Saturday Night Live", and I was overjoyed. Kevin Rayleigh hurriedly shouted: "Of course you can, we can't ask for it!" This is the truth, so funny and humorous, super popular magical Yang, why not?

"OK, I made a note of it. Wang Yang smiled and said seriously: "Everyone, if Flame Home Entertainment has any new plans, we will notify NBC as soon as possible, and give priority to them." As for whether I'm optimistic or not, is it that important? At the beginning, "Friends" was not as optimistic as me. Looking at the future film and television information database, NBC's ratings are declining year by year, and ABC and FOX are rising strongly, so that within a few years, NBC, which is full of stupid tricks, has become the target of everyone's ridicule, and the management is naturally to blame.

Now "The Big Bang Theory" has replaced "Joey" and "Friends" to keep Thursday Comedy Night, but other dramas have declined across the board.

"Of course, we trust your vision! Jan, you really don't have to be humble with us. Kevin Rayleigh's enthusiasm and low profile have almost reached the bottom line of a CEO, in fact, why don't they know? Everyone laughed in agreement, why should he be modest! If he is not modest, he is not modest! His performance on the screen is even more amazing than on the big screen!

Wang Yang can't help them, at least now that the cooperation is happy, NBC and the Flame Group have become closer, he smiled: "Let's talk about this topic later, I want to finish today's editing work now, go home from work, and then you know, the weekend is coming." ”

Maybe Magical Yang wants to accompany his wife out for a weekend, and Kevin Rayleigh and others are thinking that "Desperate Housewives" will start on ABC on Sunday, October 3rd, what kind of results will this series with a magical aura have? 12 million, 13 million?

"We weren't surprised that The Big Bang Theory received this result, and we believe it has much more potential than that, it's a comedy with superpowers. During the routine media reception, NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks seemed to be infected by the habits of Wonder Young and Sheldon, and she was very immodest and said in order to unite the audience: "On Thursday, NBC went through 10 years of fun and sweetness with everyone, and "The Big Bang Theory" will continue to bring joy and more joy to every NBC viewer for another 10 years together." ”

The strong ratings of the two episodes with an average of 21.99 million are relied on, and the other is precisely because "The Big Bang Theory" has received a very high reputation from the audience! Naturally, it has something to do with geeks who love the Internet and fall in love with IMDB, "Freaks and Nerds" has a score of 9.3, and "The Big Bang Theory" has a score of 9.5 (8,962 users) after two episodes! It is tied with "Band of Brothers" for the third place in history, but the IMDB TV series rating user base is too small, and a score of 9.5 can only show that " TBBT's huge hit.

TV critics from Yahoo Entertainment, The New York Post, The Washington Post, and many fans have posted their opinions on rating sites such as Metacritic and drama forums.

"After watching the first two episodes, I knew it was the funniest and smartest TV series in the last few decades. It's a great way to use scientific theories and cultural knowledge to make satires and jokes! Not everyone can have fun, but it's a new, unique, clever, and fascinating series, and I really can't wait to see it next episode, every week!" said user Asabel P.
