Chapter 157: The Storm Dissipates

On Wednesday, the new episode of the temporary Zuò was officially broadcast on CBS TV, and the guest of this episode was supposed to be a famous rugby player, but when many rugby fans sat in front of the TV and waited for their idol to appear, they found that the guest was replaced by the young director Eric Williams, so some die-hard fans called the TV station to question.

But most TV viewers are not so picky, and instead have a sense of surprise, after all, Eric's current influence is not comparable to that of a rugby player.

"Wow, I can't imagine that the shootout scene was filmed like this, it's so cool. ”

……

"Eric Williams' joke is hilarious, the robbers are playing poker with the SWAT players, haha......"

……

"Drew Barrymore hasn't shown up, and there has been no news of her in the media since then. ”

……

"It's scary when Eric gets angry, he doesn't look like that at all. ”

"It's not surprising that he's so young, and he wants those employees who are older than him to be obedient and not fierce. ”

……

All kinds of talk appear in front of thousands of TVs, because of the summer vacation, the proportion of teenagers in front of the TV has increased greatly, and Eric's influence among teenagers is estimated to be higher than that of ordinary idol stars, after all, as a peer, if you exceed others by 100 meters, it may cause all kinds of envy and jealousy, but if it exceeds 10,000 meters, most of the people received are worship. Therefore, when many young people see Eric's rare appearance on the TV, they can't help but share their feelings and call their classmates to remind them to watch the show.

Although the latter has only been around for a few years, it has an average rating of more than 11 million people per episode, while the average rating of only about 4 million has followed.

At the beginning of this episode, the original number of viewers was only 4.2 million, but with the broadcast of the program, the ratings curve soared, and after the forty-minute program was broadcast, the number of viewers had stopped at the number of 7.5 million, almost doubled. After the program was completed, the hotline of CBS TV station was directly blown up.

"If I could have done the publicity a week in advance, the ratings of the show would definitely exceed 10 million," said a CBS executive with some regret after seeing the ratings statistics.

More than 70 percent of the audience's hotline calls are hoping that CBS can be replayed, while other messy reasons account for 30 percent, some want the crew to be on the show together, some want to see Drew and Eric appear on the screen together, and a large number of people ask if the tape in Eric's hand will be released to the market.

CBS compiled the audience's feedback into a document and forwarded it to Columbia and Firefly, and also sent invitations to Eric, Drew and several leading actors in accordance with public opinion, although Columbia was very moved, after all, this could once again promote the film, but it was rejected by Eric and others.

If it weren't for the clarification of the rumors, Eric would have shown his face on the talk show, but Eric refused, and Drew would definitely not go.

And the agents of Cruise and Hanks feel that the influence of this show is a little small, which is not in line with the identity of the two superstars, but Brooke Smalls is a little moved, which has brought a very good turning point to her career, but CBS, which was rejected by Eric and Tom at the same time, is not interested, and several other big names are not on it, and there is no topic if only the girl is invited. Xiaosi only appeared in the middle for a few minutes, although, CBS is also a national TV station anyway, and it has not yet reached the point of starvation.

Although the invitation was refused, CBS quickly came up with a way to maximize the benefits after communicating with all parties, and when Eric participated in the recording of the show, he accumulated more than two hours of material, while the talk show was only forty minutes.

So, CBS re-edited the two more than two hours of material into the upper and lower episodes, and broadcast them in the next two days, because of the short promotion that was deliberately done in the prime time at night, the next day, the re-edited last episode reached 9 million viewers, and when the next episode was broadcast on Friday, the ratings directly rushed to 10 million people, and even reached 12 million at the peak.

If the ratings of a daytime program reach 10 million, then you can be treated as an ace program, and it is because of this average score that it has created more than 20 years of glory.

In order to keep the results, CBS directly gave up the several episodes that had been produced and spent a lot of money to invite other more weighty guests, in an attempt to create a talk show that could be comparable. But in the end, the other party could only be disappointed, as Eric judged at the beginning, the biggest problem with this show is the host Sophia Temple, not that the other party is not good enough, but that Sophia Temple's personality is not suitable for hosting a talk show.

Therefore, after the second week, the ratings of this talk show experienced a magical peak, although the ratings of the talk show experienced a magical peak, although the more important guests were replaced, the ratings still fell slowly, and finally CBS had to give up its efforts, and the episodes that Eric participated in became the insurmountable peak of this talk show, until the show was cut by CBS, Sophia Temple moved behind the scenes, and the ratings never reached that height.

Of course, these are all later stories, and the Gunners questioned the storm after the CBS talk show, and it quickly disappeared. After all, after the talk show was broadcast, especially in the next two episodes, the show played more than 20 minutes of filming footage, Eric from arranging the scene, telling the actors, to the detailed filming process in front of the audience in every detail, and the big scenes such as blocking the streets from time to time also told everyone that there was no possibility of the videotape being faked, so it would be purely a test of the audience's IQ for anyone to raise this kind of question.

George Northen didn't come out again after it was broadcast, because Columbia Pictures directly pressured the magazine to fire the other party, after all, because of George Northam's article, which almost caused incalculable damage to Colombia, if Colombia did nothing, it would be too easy to bully.

Although several other major film companies secretly applauded George Northson's article that added to Colombia, they did not want this to happen to them in the future, so George Northen was also on the blacklist of the six major film companies as a film critic.
