After more than two months of filming, "ER Story" was filmed in the hands of Rob Holcombo, and 10 episodes were filmed, although the filming was not completed, this speed is already very fast.

When Frank Marshall learned about it, he immediately got the first episode of the first season of "A Story from the ER" with Frank Marshall, and decided to preview it on the evening of October 17, prime-time, to check his ratings.

As long as the ratings of "ER" are good, it will bring advertising money and DVD sales to TV stations, and it will be able to operate independently without using the funds of Asuka Films, and it will also bring a lot of income.

Before the TV series was piloted, Rob Holcombo was advertising in Times Square and Times Tower, playing the trailer of "The Story of the Emergency Room".

The TV series of the 80s didn't have to think about the crowd who watched it, and Frank Marshall easily hit it.

Unlike movies, which now have a rating system, North American TV shows won't be implemented until January 1997, and "ER Story" doesn't have to be promoted according to the rating system.

The story of the doctor in it attracted the attention of some people, and the clip of George Clooney that appeared in it caught the attention of his fans.

After the success of "Top Gun", Times Building attracted many advertisers to advertise, Leicester kept a TV screen as a promotional signboard for Bird Film and Television, and the rest of the positions were given to companies that came to advertise, which brought Lester his first advertising income of 500,000 yuan.

Walking into Times Square, you can look up and see that in addition to the commercials, the trailer of "The Story of the Emergency Room" and the Asuka film and television logo are playing.

At 7 p.m. on Oct. 17, "The Story of the Emergency Room" was broadcast on five Asuka TV stations.

In the residential area of Century City, in the living room of a room, the sound of a TV is ringing, and "The Story of the Emergency Room" is playing on the screen.

"Do you think this looks good?"

"I don't know, I hope it won't disappoint us, I just watched it because George Clooney was the main actor. ”

Sitting on the sofa, Jack watched the theme song of "The Story of the Emergency Room" played by Asuka TV, and asked his cousin Tom with a bored look in his eyes.

His cousin Tom has been a fan of George Clooney since he watched "Top Gun" in the cinema.

Jack, who didn't want to see it, was pulled over by Tom to watch it together, and it was not fun to go out, so he sat here and watched.

"The feature film is coming. ”

The theme song of "A Tale from the Emergency Room" is finished and the series begins, with Jack staring intently at the actors in the doctor's and nurse uniforms.

Jack stared boredly at the development of the plot of "A Story from the Emergency Room", and slowly he suddenly found that although this TV series has a lot of skills about doctors that are difficult to understand, the plot and style make him gradually watch it, attracting his desire to continue watching.

Later, after the first episode of "The Story of the Emergency Room" was played, Jack was still a little unsatisfied, Nan Nan said: "Wonderful, I decided to continue chasing." ”

On this night, viewers who watched the first episode of "The Story of the Emergency Room" were attracted by the story inside.

……

Flying Bird TV, Frank Marshall sat on a stool and watched TV, looking out the door from time to time, his face anxious.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door, and Frank Marshall Horan shouted, "Come in." As he spoke, his eyes were staring at the people who walked in, and he was disappointed when he saw that the few people who came in were not the people he wanted to see.

"Why, aren't we welcome?" asked with a smile in his voice and bewilderment;

"Sorry, little Lester, I'm waiting for the ratings. Frank Marshall calmed his nervousness and explained;

In addition to Lester, there are Tom Cruise and George Clooney, the protagonist of "ER: Story".

Tom Cruise came over to watch with a learning attitude, and in addition to honing his acting skills, the other party would often follow along to learn about production and directing.

Lester took the coffee from the assistant, sat on the sofa and asked, "Haven't the ratings been delivered yet?"

"Not yet. Frank Marshall shook his head helplessly.

It is said that the new official took office three fires, and Frank Marshall became the CEO of the Flying Bird TV Network, so he reorganized the entire TV network staff, and the TV programs broadcast were very strict.

In addition to "The Ellen Show", there are also those TV shows that have been sorted out in the past that can be broadcast, but they have all been brushed off by Frank Marshall, and in the eyes of his vicious gold medal producer, those films are simply a bunch of bad movies, and broadcasting them in prime time is not a loss for the TV station.

The station's "Ellen Show" is good, but it is only a short ten minutes, which is not suitable for prime-time time, Leicester is also a producer, and Rob Holcombo's "ER" directed "ER" makes Frank Marshall feel very good, and it is put in prime time for a trial broadcast. This is his first shot on TV, but he doesn't want the first shot to fail, it's simply a stain on his gold medal producer.

Watching Lester leisurely sipping coffee, Frank Marshall said puzzledly, "Aren't you worried about the ratings?"

Except for Lester, who came in and drank coffee first, George Clooney and Tom Cruise talked to him with a look of concern.

Lester put down the coffee in his hand and said, "It's useless for me to worry, I still have to look at the ratings data report, after all, there are still popular TV series such as "Growing Pains" and "Thunderbolt Ranger" broadcast by the radio and television company on September 24. ”

"Come out, Mr. Marshall. An employee walked into Marshall's office with a happy face, saw Lester and the others, and respectfully shouted, "Hello boss." ”

"Ignore them. Frank Marshall shouted excitedly, reaching out and snatching the ratings data report from the employee's hand.

Frank Marshall looked at the data report in his hand, his face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but say: "With 20.5 million ratings, it ranks first over TV series such as the fourth season of "Thunderbolt Ranger". ”

Marshall's words made the three people in the room a little restless.

"I'll take a look. George Clooney took the data report from Frank Marshall's hand, looked at the bright and bright more than 20 million ratings data, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "God, this is only the first episode of the first season, and so many people have watched it, if you continue to finish the first season, wouldn't the ratings be able to break 26 million." ”

Listening to the words of the two, Tom Cruise was stunned, took the ratings data in George Clooney's hand and watched it, put the ratings data report in front of Lester and said, "Look at it." ”

Lester looked at the 23.5 million ratings of the first episode of "ER Story" and was really shocked, which was a bit unexpected for him.

"The Story of the Emergency Room" was indeed a high-rated American drama in its previous life, ranking among the top ten ratings on the list of 100 classic American dramas, and it was able to have such high ratings in the 80s, and its value really cannot be assessed.

"ER Story" got Frank Marshall off to a good start and decided to show "The Ellen Show" tomorrow, and he believes that "The Ellen Show" is not a bad interview talk show "ER Story".
