"The Big Bang Theory of Life opened the season with a big explosion of ratings, with 21.99 million viewers dominating NBC Thursday night. ”

According to foreign media reports, the new sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" created and produced by Wang Yang landed on the NBC channel on September 30, local time in the United States, and achieved a good start. It is understood that "The Big Bang Theory" is broadcast every Thursday night from 8:00 to 8:30, NBC has ordered the whole season, and there are many Chinese elements in the series, including Chinese restaurants, Chinese, etc., and there will be Chinese mathematicians in permanent roles.

Although critics have received mixed reviews, the Hollywood Reporter said it is likely to set off a "geek trend", and with Wang Yang's huge influence, this trend will even be global.

"Our-hole-universe-as-in-a-hot-dense-state......" catchy "The-history-of-everything" has been broadcast on the computer speakers of countless earthlings around the world, and in China, less than 12 hours after the broadcast of "The Big Bang Theory", there is a perfect subtitle version in Chinese and English on the Internet, and under the fierce competition, the speed has improved compared to the launch of "Prison Break" a year ago. The same long-awaited movie fans, netizens, and fans of American dramas flocked to the scene, and the joyful laughter that was very interesting arose: "It's so funny!"

"Take a good shower!" Howard's words made many netizens laugh, and many people almost didn't hear it was Chinese, and thought he was speaking Klingon or something, and Wang Yang's cameo appearance in the second episode was also very enjoyable. Although there will be some cultural differences, Chinese drama fans have always been super receptive, which does not hinder everyone's appreciation and understanding, and even more like long sentences and scientific elements. Of course, no matter where you are on the planet, it is impossible for one thing to be liked by everyone.

Another group of netizens who have watched the first two episodes continue to discuss and evaluate with great interest in Tianya Forum, Baidu Tieba and other places, Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Penny...... Actors, plot, behind-the-scenes footage, stills, cameos, magical ...... The scientific theories, geek elements, and classic lines that appear in the first two episodes...... A few days ago, September 28 was a memorable special day for Wang Yang and Jessica, the first anniversary of their engagement, but because it was a Tuesday, they didn't celebrate much, so they had a warm family dinner. Now that the weekend is coming, taking advantage of the sunny and comfortable weather on Sunday, the two went out for a good time, engaged for a year and married for more than half a year, the sweetness of their married life is better than before, and occasionally a little bickering is just flirting, Jessica thinks that she is really a "happy housewife".

But not every woman, every housewife, and every family are so happy, there are many love relationships, and the scandals of other people's cheating and divorce can often be heard, and it is really not easy for housewives to bear the pressure of husbands, children, and society. On Sunday, October 3, from 9:00 to 9:30 p.m., the family ethics soap opera "Desperate Housewives" was broadcast on ABC Channel, attracting tens of millions of viewers in front of the TV.

"Desperate Housewives" doesn't have much novelty, and Wisteria Lane in Belvedere Town has the most typical image of an unhappy type of housewife in life, a collection of soap operas with many gloomy dramas, if you only look at it and it's comprehensive, absolutely no one has any confidence in marriage. But I have to say that for soap operas such as "** City", which are gradually clichéd, it has more compassion, insight and thinking about the unfortunate housewives, so it is spicy but not mean, exaggerated but not ridiculous;

Thereupon...... When Monday, October 4th arrived, the ratings on the 3rd, and the weekly ratings ranking from September 27th to October 3rd, scared everyone.

"YES!!This is the situation I want!" Seeing the ranking released by Nielsen, Annie Sweeney slapped the table excitedly, it's amazing! This group of desperate housewives brings ABC infinite hope! This year's new drama "Lost", which has been heavily built and promoted with a lot of money, has 18.6 million viewers, and they are already quite satisfied; as for this set of episodes that are not favored by anyone, who knows that Miraculous Yang picked up as a compensatory gift, it is really as good as he said, this "new TV monster" suddenly raised the 8.15 million viewers of "Double Faced Female Spy" in the same schedule last year to a jaw-dropping number!

Anne Sweeney trembled with joy, the new CEO had such a major performance breakthrough in the first season, how lucky and lucky! It was the right decision to give up "Eight Rules"! She pressed the phone and informed the secretary with a smile: "Call Wonder Young, right away! Thank him! Oh thank him!"

"What are you kidding, what are you kidding!?" Looking at the ratings numbers that start with 2 words, Kevin Rayleigh's eyes widened and his heart ached, Wonder Young's compensatory gift was too heavy!!Why didn't you tell NBC clearly!!What are you kidding!!"Am I too old?" Nancy Durham took off her glasses and rubbed her sour eyes, it seems that the insomnia will worsen recently, she has a feeling of being frustrated, and the contempt and joke about Wang Yang at the beginning made CBS fall into an awkward position today, she shook her head and sighed: "I hope his interest will go back to the movie." ”

The executives of FOX, UPN, B and other TV stations also beat their chests and paused, really, really should not violate the law and law of Magic Young, and now violating it is a violation of the market!

21.3 million!10/23 ratings!This is the result of the first episode of "Desperate Housewives", and the gloomy title of "Desperate-Houseives" not only did not scare off the audience, but ushered in a big explosion! Eva Longoria, Terry Hatchell, Felicity Hoffman and other leading actors were stunned, as were Mark Celli and other creators! Who would have thought that the idea of a soap opera script that was just a soap opera eating behind closed doors everywhere would become so exaggerated after a lap around the magic Janna!

"Just the name, it's a cool name. If it weren't for Wonder Young's words, Annie Sweeney and other ABC executives would have to discuss with Mark Cellley which is better, "The Secret Life of a Housewife" or "Wisteria Lane". Although Wang Yang can't be found in the cast list of "Desperate Housewives", several websites that provide some are only "Executive-producer (unknon-episodes)", I don't know which episode planning and producer, I guess he just talked about a few proposed things, such as actor selection, overall atmosphere creation, etc.

But Anne Sweeney and everyone dare not ignore this young man, there are many good scripts and good ideas, which one is put into production and which one is eliminated depends on the vision of the decision-maker, without the intervention of Magic Young, "Desperate Housewives" may change its name, may not, continue to get this achievement, and it is more likely to be pressed at the bottom of the box for a long, long time, not to treasure but not to be used, and then to die without a problem. Now the situation is that Magic Young solemnly handed it over to ABC, and achieved almost the same number of opening ratings as "The Big Bang Theory", with a difference of 18-49.

Think about last season's "Double Spy" and "Eight Rules"! Now, ABC employees like Anne Sweeney find "The Big Bang Theory" even more funny.

In this 04-05 season, CBS felt a sudden pressure, NBC was the winner, ABC was the winner...... But in fact, the biggest behind-the-scenes winner is Flame Family Entertainment, which has four spots on this week's weekly ratings TOP10, "Prison Break", "The Big Bang Theory", and "Desperate Housewives".

First place is CBS Channel's Thursday ace "CSI: CSI: CSI" Investigation, 26.6 million viewers, 15/28 ratings, CBS and Jerry Bruckheimer Films, second NBC Channel's Monday's "Prison Break", 23.5 million viewers, 15/25 ratings, production company Flame Home Entertainment, third NBC Channel's Thursday's "The Big Bang Theory" episode 2, 22.7 million, 16/ 24 ratings, production company Flame Home Entertainment, fourth ABC Sunday's "Desperate Housewives" 21.3 million, 10/23 ratings, production company Flame Home Entertainment, fifth "The Big Bang Theory" episode 1, 21.28 million, 15/23, sixth CBS Thursday's "Desperate Housewives", 18.9 million, 10/20 ...... No. 7 ABC "Lost," No. 8 CBS "CSI: Miami," No. 9 CBS "Survivors," No. 10 ABC "Monday Football Night."

CBS has four seats, NBC has four seats, ABC has three seats, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth seats are all emblazoned with the Flame Family Entertainment logo, and the Moth Butterfly has captured the ratings charts!

Now Flame Home Entertainment has become the most dazzling star, not to mention the two sets of dramas created by Magic Young himself, not to mention his shocking richness, which makes NBC and CBS think that they have made a compensation gift of "I bought out "Eight Rules", compensate me", the latest product dynamics of Flame Home Entertainment is the topic that the six major commercial TV networks are most concerned about, Magic Young has no new ideas? No new interests? No way, they don't believe it.

"Urgent news, urgent news! Flames are going to do a game show!" CBS Entertainment was in a panic, "Exact news! This is a set of "Millionaire" similar quiz game shows, and the top prize is also a million!!" Everyone in NBC Entertainment is in a hurry, "Fantastic Young's idea? He said it would be fun? OK?" ABC Entertainment seemed to be on fire, snap, snap, pop! Whether it's Annie Sweeney, Nancy Tellham, Kevin Rayleigh, or FOX, UPN, B and other executives all slapped the table and shouted: "Take it down!"

Flame Home Entertainment is really planning to create a new quiz game show, and this show was born out of the idea that what kind of funny situation would happen if Sheldon was asked a question that he disdained? In other words, if a doctoral student was stumped by a primary school student? A general impression of an adult who knows more is actually inferior to a child in some knowledge? It's certainly funny to face the same question, Natalie Portman, a high-achieving Harvard student, speechless, and a kid next to her slipping the answer on the go, but could it happen?

Of course, Wang Yang found that in the future in 2007, there will be such a game show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grade Elementary School Student?", the gameplay is very simple, and the contestants only need to answer 11 questions from the primary school textbook correctly in a row to get a prize of $1 million. However, as simple as it sounds, contestants from all walks of life are constantly falling halfway, and after failing, they have to admit awkwardly to the camera: "I really don't have as smart as a fifth-grade elementary school student." ”

I have to say that after watching several episodes of this program, Wang Yang found that the level of common sense of Americans is not very high, which country (Brazil) is the largest country in South America? Is the ostrich the fastest bird (yes)? Is the whale a mammal (yes)? How many sides does the heptagon have (seven)? Does the moon itself glow (will not)? and so on; even when is the "Columbus Day" of the United States commemorating Columbus's discovery of the New World? This is a federal holiday! None of the contestants could answer questions that were closely related to their own lives, so to speak, almost like "I don't know what month Christmas is", while the elementary school students of the show all knew that the answer was October, and what was even more interesting was that the contestants who were stumped by this simple question were UCLA history students.

The scene was indeed very interesting and shocking, and "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" premiered on FOX in 2007 and received 26.5 million viewers, and is said to have set the record for the highest premiere ratings of a serial show in the United States since 1998. However, when the initial freshness passed, there was no element to retain people, and the ratings gradually weakened, and the first season only averaged 12.7 million viewers per episode. But what if the form is different?

In addition to ordinary contestants, the guests on the show are some celebrities, such as the film and television sports business circles, Bill Gates, and the President of the United States? Celebrity celebrities partner with an ordinary contestant, and they answer questions at the same time, the main body is to answer questions, with some elementary school level talent shows, bring their primary school report cards, photos, and other such attractive links.

It is not difficult to produce such a TV show, Flame Home Entertainment hopes to be broadcast in the spring of 2005 after the winter break, as long as the publicity is related, "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grade Elementary School Student?" If it becomes popular, it will help to promote the ratings of "The Big Bang Theory" and "Prison Break", two sets of dramas with "high IQ" as the selling point, and the program team will definitely send invitations to Wentworth Miller, who graduated from Princeton University, and Jim Parsons, who graduated from San Diego University with a master's degree.

And in the first issue, Wang Yang hopes to invite Natalie Portman, a new generation of talented stars with super popularity and education...... "Yang, don't think so much, this show must be, must, must give NBC!" Kevin Rayleigh flew to Los Angeles for the first time to negotiate with the Flames, even if he didn't know the specific way to play the game at all. Kevin Rayleigh's smiling face seemed to be full of sincerity: "I promise, NBC will give the Flames the best terms, it's ours! Oh yes, someone gave me a couple of Lakers tickets with a good location, but you know I'm not a basketball fan, and a couple of membership coupons for the LA Golf Club, do you want it?"

"No thanks, I don't like golf, I have a season ticket to the Lakers. Wang Yang directly rejected these small favors, and Kevin Rayleigh, who made a decision, laughed: "Okay." If he didn't know who the show was for, he wouldn't have chosen this object to do stupid things, but fortunately, Wang Yang's next words dispelled many of his worries: "Kevin, you really don't need to come with me for PR, I'm not interested in these at all, but NBC has always been our priority." ”

NBC is in control, and as long as the price package is matched, the premiere of "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" will make it to NBC's schedule.

"ABC, choose ABC!", "CBS wants to work with the Flames so much!", ...... Since the news came out, these voices have kept appearing, and later Wang Yang ignored them all and left it to the company to negotiate, he really needs more time to focus on the post-production work of "Firefly".

Soon October 4th-10th became a thing of the past, compared to last year's competition for "The Big Bang Theory" more tragic program bidding results, Flame Home Entertainment and NBC reached a cooperation agreement, the new game show "Are You Smarter Than Five Student Elementary School Students?" will be on NBC every Wednesday PM:8:00-9:00 in the spring of 2005, and now the new dramas "Hawaii" and "Los Angeles International Airport" that share this hour have poor ratings, and under the weight of "Lost", there are only 7.2 million, 6.5 million ratings, 18-49 and reviews are a mess, basically a short-lived series that are no longer ordered after the winter break.

However, NBC, which "added another magical program", is undoubtedly the most proud, and this week's ratings list almost continued last week's ranking, first "CSI", second "Prison Break", third "Desperate Housewives", its second episode ratings rose to 23.6 million, 12/26 ratings, an absolute trendy, phenomenal drama, and fourth "The Big Bang Theory" , after the popularity of the first two episodes, its third episode dropped slightly to 20.98 million, and as a result, countless people found that without the cameos of big stars, geeks still have the ability to laugh to death.

However, this does not mean that "The Big Bang Theory", which is a big director and three popular movie stars at the beginning, will not continue to make cameos, on the contrary, there are many rumors, Apple founder Steve Jobs, Google founder Sergey Brin, and Larry Page may also come up to play tricks. And fans of the show are more certain that, according to Wang Yang's blog, there will be an episode in the season of "The Big Bang Theory" about Sheldon and others attending an anime convention, and there will be guest appearances by Jessica Alba, Natalie Portman and several others.

This is Wang Yang's solution to the troubles of happiness, since these people all want to make a cameo so much, let's create a big scene together! If you feel that you have lost the cameo level or are not satisfied, don't come or wait slowly, "The Big Bang Theory" is very busy now! Jessica naturally has no opinion, Natalie is also looking forward to this cameo on the same stage, but it is better to hurry, if she waits until she shoots "V Vendtta" in March next year, it is likely to be a bald head.

The happiest thing is NBC, Kevin Rayleigh looks up to the sky and roars, it's so scary! Invite two of the most popular movie stars at once, and even others! Even Wonder Young appears again, with an unimaginable rating of 18-49! There are only a handful of producers who are capable of doing this kind of thing, and I'm afraid that only Wonder Young is a madman, and Steven Spielberg can't do it. If this episode is confirmed, NBC will definitely not sit idly by, promote, promote, promote!

"Are whales mammals?", "Yes, dolphins too!", "How many sides does a heptagon have?", "Hmm, seven!", "Are you sure?", "I'm sure." "Are you really, really sure?"

On the sofa in the living room, Wang Yang asked Jessica with a notebook with some elementary school questions, and when she heard his serious tone, Jessica bit her lower lip suspiciously: "Isn't it?" Wang Yang asked selflessly: "How much? 7 or 14? Now you have 25,000 US dollars, you can choose to give up, take the money and leave." Jessica propped her hands on the sofa, looked at him without blinking, gradually showed a smile, and shouted with certainty, "Seven!"

"Wrong!14!", "Oh my God!14!?How could it be 14!?Oh God...... How can I be a good mother in the future!!", "I'm fooling you, and the correct answer is 7. ”

Before she could throw her fist at her, Wang Yang jumped off the sofa and fled quickly, knowing that he couldn't outrun him, Jessica's eyes rolled, and he raised his palms and slapped it in the air: "Force Attack! I grabbed your shoulder, you can't move!" Wang Yang over there suddenly froze: "Oh! What did you do to me? How could this be! I can't move!" He shouted: "Let go of me, let go of me-" Jessica walked up with her fists rubbed.
