Jiang Hui had just returned to the imperial capital from Dubai, so he went to the company first, and as soon as he sat down in the office, He Ling came in.

"Jiang Hui, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?".

"I've just sat down, so let's listen to some good news and take a break."

"Oh well. The first episode of "The Beautiful Poisoner" aired the day before yesterday, and as we expected, it did well. When it premiered on Tudou yesterday, it was also the TV series with the highest click rate of the day."

"Yes, it's good news, but what about the bad news?"

In a previous life, "Breaking Bad" was included in the 2014 Guinness Book of World Records as the "World's Highest-Rated TV Series" with a score of 99 out of 100 on the authoritative rating website Metacritic. Although the plots invested and filmed by Guanghui Film and Television are different from those of later generations, they are similar, so naturally there is no need to worry about bad reputation.

"The bad news is that despite the popularity of Breaking Bad, the company hasn't made much money. Since we are a company from the Celestial Empire, the price given by the TV station is relatively low."

"Just because you haven't made money now doesn't mean that you won't be in a hurry in the future."

In Jiang Hui's opinion, the first season of "Breaking Bad" has less than ten episodes, and it doesn't matter if you make money or not, as long as you make a name for yourself, you don't have to worry about having no money to earn in the future.

"However, our drama was able to attract widespread attention from the beginning, thanks to the vigorous promotion of Tudou, Meituan and Twitter. Nowadays, Americans rarely use these three websites as long as they go online."

"Is Twitter starting to make a big splash? Did we get the stars of Breaking Bad to interact with their fans on Twitter more?".

"There must be, now several leading actors have more than one million fans on Twitter, and they are not big or small, but they are also stars."

Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology was founded in 1861 by William Barton Rogers, a renowned natural scientist who wanted to create a liberal college that caters to the rapid development of the United States. Due to the Civil War, MIT did not welcome its first students until 1865, and then it developed rapidly in the fields of nature and engineering. During the Great Depression, MIT was thought to merge with Harvard, but was forced to cancel the plan amid protests from the school's students.

In terms of name, the correct translation of the name of MIT should be "Massachusetts Institute of Technology", because the translation of the name of MIT originated in the Qing Dynasty and is still used by later generations.

Although MIT is the most well-known in engineering, it is no worse in science. Naturally, the Department of Chemistry is also full of talents.

In the long winter of the northeastern United States, in the boring campus and under the heavy academic pressure, some students are emotionally low and have a love-hate relationship with school. "I hate this damn place", this is said to be the most common phrase spoken by MIT students.

"George, it's snowing hard outside, I really don't want to go to the lab, I suddenly feel that the chemistry major is quite boring, dealing with a bunch of drugs and reagents all day long."

"I saw an interesting TV series the day before yesterday, which is quite related to our major, if you really don't want to go to the lab today, I suggest you can go to Tudou to watch this drama, maybe you want to go to the lab again after watching it."

"What kind of drama? your evaluation is so high."

"It's called Breaking Bad".

Among the three major broadcast television networks in the United States, ABC started the latest and was weak for a while. Over the years, ABC has been sparing no expense in recruiting talented people and introducing various programs and TV dramas in order to change its status.

In the fall of 2004, ABC had the discernment to buy a TV series called "Crazy Housewives," which caused a ratings frenzy as soon as it aired. then spent a lot of money to create "Lost".

With "Crazy Housewives" and "Lost," ABC made a quick leap forward to become the only TV network to see an increase in ratings among adult viewers in 2005. The network's programming is almost excessive: in addition to "Lost" and "Crazy Housewives", "Rising Star" and "Grey's Anatomy" are also heavyweights. However, because of this, when Radiance Film and ABC communicated, they didn't have much idea to introduce "Breaking Bad" and push Radiant Film to FOX.

ABC TV.

"I heard that the creator of "Breaking Bad" approached our company first, and then went to find FOX after being rejected?".

"President, that's true. The main reason was that at that time, we felt that such a TV series with villains as the protagonists could not be popular, and our film source was relatively sufficient, so we didn't plan to talk about cooperation with them."

"Originally, our station was far ahead of FOX this year, but now it is possible that the record of ratings will be taken away by them."

"It's unlikely, the first episode of "Breaking Bad" will only be ranked fifth this week."

"If you look at the reviews of Breaking Bad on Tudou and the ratings on Metacritic, you won't underestimate them anymore."

……

Fox TV.

"Jack, good job, we need to find more good films like "Breaking Bad".

"At the time, I just thought the film was very distinctive, and I didn't expect it to be so popular."

"You communicate with the investor of the film as soon as possible, and take down the broadcast rights of the second season, and the price can be given according to the first class."

"No problem".

If the excellent performance of the first episode of "Breaking Bad" only attracted the attention of some industry insiders, the popularity of the second and third episodes also attracted the attention of the media. At this time, the plot has unfolded, the audience can already see something through the first three episodes, and the reporters have written articles with a purpose.

AOL: This year, there are a few rare hot TV series. After seeing that the recently broadcast "Breaking Bad" by Fox won the ratings championship this month, I watched it again, and "Breaking Bad" was able to win the ratings championship, which is worthy of its name. The screenwriter has already built the pre-story of the whole story in the first 20 minutes, which is perfect. We know that Walter has an unhappy family, and the breakfast scene is clearly reflected. He was bullied by students at school and suppressed by his boss in his part-time job. Then he developed cancer. The dramatic conflict is well set up, and then the whole episode is written about the confrontation to the end. By killing Krazy-8, Tuco, and Gus, the drug lords, he completed his own drug trafficking path......

The New York Times: 50 years old, teaching in a middle school, no matter how much enthusiasm is aroused, the students still don't want to listen to your chemistry class; your wife is unexpectedly pregnant, she has no serious job, she has a son with polio, he is kind and cowardly; his salary is not enough to support his credit card bills every month, he has to go to a car wash to do odd jobs to see the boss's face after teaching, and the students drive luxury cars and laugh at him, and you have no temper; you finally have a birthday party, but everyone surrounds his brother-in-law, who is an anti-narcotics policeman, including his son, and the adoration in his eyes is all given to others- This is the trick of "Breaking Bad", which tells you at the beginning how desperate it is to live a calm life......
