"'Prison Break' has been a big surprise, and I've been very touched by the many voices I've heard in the last few days inviting and encouraging me to try my hand at making a sitcom. Because I also grew up watching TV, series such as "Breaking Rangers" and "Friends" accompanied me growing up, and they brought me countless good and happy things, which meant a lot to me.

Now I'm lucky enough to play a different role, and "Prison Break" is expected to grow up with millions of cute young people, and it feels like a wonderful feeling. Anyway, everyone's enthusiasm and support gave me a lot of confidence and interest in the TV show, and if Episode 3 of Prison Break had more than 20 million viewers, I would make a sitcom, and it was no joke! See you next Tuesday, thank you. ”

The media public just thought that he had become modest, and a calm and arrogant declaration was freshly released, because it was a blog log, and for the time being, only the rapidly updated online media reprinted and reported it, TV said: "Yang wants to boost the ratings of "Prison Break" with the promise of a new drama, and his words show his extraordinary confidence. Yahoo Entertainment said: "'Tremendous confidence and interest', magically aspiring to dominate TV primetime?...... There is a new drama with 20 million viewers, is it not counted as 19,999,999 people, is this threatening the audience?

Fans of the show reacted differently to this, with many surprises in the comments on the blog post, and Daxi said: "Great! I love this gameplay, I will definitely watch the third episode! I believe it will bring new dramas." Alexey said, "I'm relieved, I can start looking forward to it!, what's going to be like that?", Blade said, "You say YES, you say NO, who cares?" TarikT said, "I want to see 'Prison Break' reach and then the new sitcom isn't funny at all." ”…… But someone cares, in addition to countless fans of the show, NBC is even more surprised, "Prison Break" has exceeded 20 million viewers, and Miraculous Yang has produced a new drama, these are the two things they urgently need and dream of, and now there are one and two!

If this question were to be confronted, Kevin Rayleigh, president of NBC Entertainment, Paul Jones of Entertainment production, and others would nod solemnly, "Yes, definitely." Why? Or the neat answer: "Because he's the magic Jan." ”

When September 15th-21st is a thing of the past, a new Monday arrives, and the first week of the 03-04 fall season has come to an end, and the ace drama programs of major channels have returned to the air. At the top of the weekly ratings list for this week are CBS Thursday's "CSI" with 24.17 million viewers and 15/23 ratings, second CBS Thursday "Survivor: Pearl Islands" 21.67 million (12/21) and third NBS Thursday "Friends" with 21.16 million and 13.5/21...... And "Prison Break" entered the top 10 with 18.4 million viewers and a premiere score of 10.4/18, ranking fifth, becoming one of the three spots occupied by NBC in the top 10, and the other was "ER" with 19.14 million and 12/18.

Although some popular variety shows such as "American Idol" will not return until next spring, and the year cannot be judged by the first week, they will enter the top five in the first week of broadcasting! This is undoubtedly one of the best NBC drama series in the past ten years, especially in recent years, it has been pressed by CBS, and finally raised their eyebrows! The current executives are naturally overjoyed, and their trust in Magic Young is not wrong!

Looking at the comments of the media and magazines, which use words such as "creative", "revolutionary" and "most innovative" to evaluate "Prison Break", this is not the result of some "momentum". Of course, NBC Group's own publicity system is also taking the opportunity to praise it, but from the president to the sweeping aunt, everyone knows that "Prison Break" is a baby, a big baby who can be on the club of 20 million viewers.

"We thank everyone on the Prison Break team and Marvel Young, who always brings exciting surprises. NBC Entertainment President Kevin Rayleigh happily told the media that he laughed and talked about the latest situation to boost ratings: "We have confirmed that we will book the second season of 'Prison Break' for the whole season, and Young will continue to be the main creator and editor-in-chief, everything is up to him, haha!"

Speaking about Wonder Young and the sitcom, Kevin Rayleigh laughed happily: "We're working on it, we're all looking forward to it coming true, and we're confident that Young can bring more surprises and great work." ”

On Monday night, September 22nd, at 9:00 pm, CBS's "Everybody Loves Raymond" continued to broadcast the second episode of the eighth season, and NBC also continued to release the third episode of the first season of "Prison Break". Previously-on-Prison-Break。 ”

Hearing Wentworth Miller's magnetic voice, the audience on the chairs, sofas, etc. suddenly felt refreshed, and there were already female fans who were crazy "wow", not including Rachel, who ate a peeled apple, opened her eyes slightly, and muttered: "Toes are gone, toes are gone." ”

When the gangsters were about to cut off Michael Schofield's toes on the TV screen, there was a sudden shout of stopping, and they didn't cut it off! Rachel was stunned, rolled up the apple crumbs with her tongue, and said with a smile: "Oh, I see, it means to let the toes walk." "It seems that the prison guards are not so useless, so what will happen next?

Many viewers just breathed a sigh of relief, a week of suspense fell into their hearts, and within a few minutes, a new crisis came, and they also entered the state of being unstoppable and addicted again. I don't know if the pace of the third episode is a little faster than the second episode, or if the tension has accumulated to a certain extent, and the audience finds that they can't turn the channel for a second.

Even during the advertising time, people didn't dare to spin around, for fear of missing a second and missing the result of the suspense of the plot before the advertisement. It turns out that the fear that the third episode of "Prison Break" is worse than the premiere is not at a lower level, and that the premiere is a deception and so on, is superfluous, and they only have the atmosphere that other episodes have set the stage for a dozen episodes, the final episode of a season, and this is only the third episode!

I don't know if time flies very fast under the tension, the danger of tension, the advertisement is back, the suspense, the advertisement is back...... Until the subtitle list at the end of the film rolled up, countless viewers swallowed a mouthful of saliva that relaxed.

"Oh my God, I'm going to have to wait another week to see the fourth episode!!", "If "Prison Break" comes out on DVD now, I'll buy it for 500 yuan!", "Why don't I know Magic Young? I really envy his friends, I must have watched it in advance!" ...... The fans of the show left the couch with their own muttering, and Toronto's Rachel also exhaled, recalling the plot and final suspense of the third episode, and whispered: "Awesome." ”

She glanced at the mobile phone on the coffee table, slowly stretched out her hand, her face showed a look of struggle, and said to herself: "Foul again?" NONONO...... Something unfortunate has happened!" She turned off the TV with the remote control, got up and walked to the room, thinking to herself, "If there are any sitcoms next year, I'm not going to finish them......?"

The first season of "Prison Break" is a full season booking, with a consistently high-quality third episode and the golden paint signature of Magic Yang, and viewers have reason to believe that this level will be until the last episode after next year's winter break, and even get better and better, which is really crazy.

There is a heated discussion on the forums of various dramas, not only the suspense brought by "Prison Break", but also the "ratings suspense" brought by the play, and there is only one topic that many fans are most concerned about, that is, the extremely exciting third episode has more than 20 million viewers? As long as 1.6 million new viewers are added! You can see the joyful "Magic Yang New Drama" in the next season.

Just when overseas netizens in Chinese mainland and other countries couldn't wait for the third episode of resources and subtitle translation to return to that exciting world, the No. 22 rating data report monitored by Nielsen was sent to various TV stations.

Looking at the document on the table, many TV station executives took a deep breath, their faces were because of the same person, BC needless to say, but CBS, ABC, FOX and other channels absolutely did not want to see Magic Young enter the sitcom again, turning the market upside down, and finally waited until "Friends" ended, and ushered in "the most humorous best director in history"? No——!

In different bright offices, CBS Entertainment President Nancy Tellham opened the file, ABC Entertainment President Robert Iger opened the file, and NBC Entertainment President Kevin Rayleigh opened the file...... If there is any TV footage, like an awards ceremony, I saw Nancy Tellum pressing her forehead and leaning back, Robert Eagle's lips moving silently, as if it were starting with F, Kevin Rayleigh's eyes glared, his hands clenched into fists and jumped up at once: "YES!YES!YES!"

21.36 million viewers!!12.5/20 Ratings!!

The third episode of "Prison Break" continues to sit at the top of Monday's ratings charts, far ahead of the second place "CSI: Miami" with 18.6 million, and the third place "Everyone Loves Raymond" with 15.18 million! It also surpassed the opening figures of the tenth season of "Friends" last week, set a new NBC rating record for this season, and directly caught up with the "CSI" with CBS2417 million viewers in the drama category!!

The hard publicity, perfect word-of-mouth and quality of the series, and finally exploded the "magic director" energy not only retained the 18.4 million viewers of the premiere, but also attracted 2.96 million new viewers to join, and most of them were young people! This time NBC was really favored by Lady Luck, Santa Claus, and God at the same time!!

"20 million!!20 million!!ha

He couldn't stop laughing, and twisted the red tie on his chest, and sure enough, he felt his blood burning, full of vitality and momentum! Not only does the starring creator of "Prison Break" have a bright future, but he is too!

Suddenly, Kevin Rayleigh gradually calmed down again, it was not enough, he must hold on to the big tree of Magical Yang! Now NBC's drama series is rejuvenated and has the momentum to return to the kingship, but "Friends" is coming to an end, and it seems that he is about to lose the title of sitcom overlord, he really can't put all his hopes on the plan of "Friends" offquel "Joey", once those 6 characters are separated, how much popularity can be maintained? But Magical Yang ...... In any case, NBC is going to win the premiere rights of this show! Kevin Rayleigh hurriedly sat down and picked up the phone on his desk, dialed Wang Yang, and laughed happily as soon as he connected it: "Hey, Yang! The third episode has been viewed, and 21.36 million people have watched it! 12.5/20! This is really amazing!"

"Wow!" Los Angeles, Wang Yang, who was about to go out with Jessica to prepare for the engagement banquet, suddenly laughed, clenched his left hand and waved it down, now there is no regret! He smiled: "I heard such great news early in the morning, thank you!"

"Yes, we should thank you!" Kevin Rayleigh sighed repeatedly, "I don't even know how to describe my feelings, it's just ...... Oh my! But congratulations to you and your team, you've become TV superstars!" Wang Yang smiled and said, "Thank you!" 21.36 million viewers, they will be happy. Kevin Rayleigh immediately laughed and asked, "Now you're going to make a sitcom, aren't you?" Young, no matter what the genre, NBC has booked a season! You know our sincerity!"

"Yes, I made a commitment on my blog. Wang Yang smiled and nodded, eager to try this series plan, full of anticipation, he smiled: "The third episode will be done with more than 20 million viewers, so now I will definitely keep my promise and make a sitcom." Seeing Jessica walking in a set of autumn flower dresses, he gave a thumbs up, covered his phone, raised his fist and smiled: "21 million!"

"Oh, that's crazy!" Jessica smiled excitedly as she walked briskly to take his arm and listen to his continued phone call, "I hope it will be on screen next season." ”

As the two walked out of the house, Wang Yang said seriously: "Of course, I am most inclined to cooperate with NBC, Jessica and I both like "Friends" very much, and I am honored to be able to take its schedule, but seriously, there are still many things that have not been determined yet, so give everyone some time?"

He knows that in the end, he will usually cooperate with NBC, the Flame Group has a lot of business contacts with it, and NBC's sincerity is indeed very high and satisfying, as long as he does not have his own TV channel, he will choose NBC. But it is impossible to agree all at once, so the price, contract agreement and other aspects are too non-negotiable, if CBS, ABC and other channels are also interested, giving pressure to NBC, the flame side is more favorable, and at the same time more "baby".

"Okay, then what are your plans, contact us as soon as possible!" Kevin Rayleigh naturally understands these rules, which is also a very normal requirement. Magic Young is not an "unknown producer", there is only one magic Yang in the entire American film and television entertainment industry, a "privileged producer" with a box office of $10,000 and 323 million, no failure in film and television, and no one in commercial ability to attract money.

If CBS, ABC and other channels participate in the competition, and it is too fierce, NBC can even book the whole season without the need for a pilot episode, which is the privilege of Fantastic Young. Thinking of this, Kevin Rayleigh heard Wang Yang laugh again: "Kevin, let's leave it at that, Jessica and I have to pick out the engagement cake now, and we will be engaged in two days." Kevin Rayleigh laughed, "Okay, bye-bye!"

Putting down the microphone, Rayleigh shook his head gently, in fact, Marvelous Jan doesn't need this, what request does he make that NBC Entertainment Department does not agree? It's just that this time CBS and ABC will definitely not make the same mistake again, Rayleigh exhaled, fortunately, this big tree has an "NBC complex"!

"Jan, Nancy Durham just called and asked, are you interested in making a sitcom? ”

Listening to the voice of his agent Paul Emery coming from Bluetooth, Wang Yang couldn't help but say, "It's so fast!" Jessica, who was in the passenger seat, looked at the slowly reversing street scene outside and chuckled: "No, it's as slow as a tractor now." Wang Yang stepped on the accelerator with a smile, and while manipulating the steering wheel, he said: "I know, I will definitely make it, as for who to cooperate with, let's press it first." ”

After further verification of the ratings figures on the 22nd, the TV channels have released the data, "Prison Break" has received 21.36 million viewers! The fans of the drama who saw the news for the first time on the Internet were overjoyed for a while, and many people screamed "Ahhhhh

single-handedly produced "Juno", "The Hangover", the funniest best director in history, and the sitcom of Magic Young!

But the only fear fans had quickly dissipated, and Miraculous Young never broke his promise. When night fell, a log was finally updated on his blog.

"Thank you to all the 21,360,000 viewers who tuned in to the third episode of 'Prison Break', I don't know what your name is, but with your support, 'Prison Break' has achieved incredible results! Thank you, you're so excited! My confidence, my interest, they're just exploding! I'm going to team up to make a sitcom, it's going to be 'hahahahahahahaha', and I'll see you on TV next September!

Anyone who cares will notice that it is "TV" instead of "NBC"; but fans who are also happy and excited don't care whether it will be broadcast on NBC or CBS, they just want to switch the channel; they only care about what kind of genre and what kind of content this "hahahahahahaha" series will be? What kind of characters does the "interesting life of a few people?" mentioned in the interview with Magic Young?
