Chapter 317: Double-line flowering

When Chen Tian arrived at Huaxia Modu Airport, Kate, who had already arrived in Huaxia in advance. Green came to the airport to pick you up.

Chen Tian immediately joined Wu Jing, Zhang Zhen, Zhang Jiani and others, and after only half a day's rest, he devoted himself to the promotion of "Raid".

For Donnie Yen's non-arrival, no one asked Chen Tian, and Chen Tian did not explain the reason.

And on the other side of the Pacific, NBC TV's TV drama division general manager Green. Brown is making the final promotional arrangements for "Prison Break" before its release.

Whether it is the discussion of "Prison Break" on the Internet, or the number of views on the video of "Prison Break" on YouTube, he is satisfied.

If nothing else, next Monday's premiere should not be too embarrassing for viewers, even if it faces a strong opponent.

Although the media clamoured that not having 10 million viewers would be a fiasco for Chen, as the head of NBC's television division, he would be satisfied if the first episode could reach that number.

After watching the full episode of the first season of "Prison Break", his professional ability judgment told him that no matter how much this drama performs, it shouldn't be too bad.

If the ratings reach the desired target, more than 10 million people he will do his best to finalize the purchase of the second season with Miramax.

"On highway billboards and newspapers, increase investment by 5 million according to the original plan!" Green. Brown said into the phone.

The person in charge of the propaganda department on the other end of the phone immediately agreed to come down and hung up the phone. Brown looked at the YouTube video on his computer screen and clicked on the top of the top of the list "Prison Break": "You can't fail!" ”

But looking at the list of new dramas from the formidable rival CBS, Green. Brown was worried.

CSI: Miami, although a spin-off of CSI, is the same as the original CSI TV series. CSI: Miami is a criminal television series about a group of forensic scientists.

The first season was launched last year. In North America, an average of 17 million viewers tune in per episode. That made "CSI: Miami" the number one TV series on Monday.

And now that the second season is being launched, as long as the quality is not too bad, the viewership is almost conceivable, and CBS has put the second season of "Two and a Half Heroes", which premiered last year and is almost as good as "CSI: Miami", on Monday.

These two TV series, which have formed a fixed audience last year, will all be released on September 20 for their premieres this year.

This means that "Prison Break," which does not yet have any fixed viewership, has to compete with two CBS dramas that were released on the same day.

Although the other two major radio stations, FOX and CBS's UPN, did not make any big moves on Monday, ABC's long-established "Monday Football Night" stood on Monday for so many years. The average number of viewers per episode is around 16 million.

In the face of three ultra-popular programs that can absorb 17 million, the road to the premiere of "Prison Break" to become popular at least does not look easy.

Thinking of this Green. Brown was a little worried, and even regretted why he didn't simply put "Prison Break" to another time, but think about the other four schedules from Monday to Friday. Brown chose Monday anyway.

Even if there is a lot of competition pressure on Monday, it is better than being abused by a program with a stable rating of 20 million on a day like Thursday.

"Who will you be going to see on Monday? Please lock in the two exciting episodes of NBC's "Prison Break" waiting for you, and I look forward to someone discussing the plot with me. ”

Some time ago, Natalie, the queen of Star Wars, was also involved in a fake news storm at the airport and Chen Tian dating. Portman wrote on his Facebook page with three days to go before "Prison Break" began.

"Really? I'm willing to watch "Prison Break" with you! ”

"But I like CSI: Miami more, but I like you Natalie, what should I choose?"

"Support Natalie. Star Wars queen forever, but aren't you worried that Scarlett misunderstood? ”

"If 'Prison Break' is as good as 'The Raid'. I will definitely support it! ”

……

Natalie. Portman's Facebook message was littered with replies to Natalie's hair curled up from just taking a shower. Portman was sitting in front of his computer at the moment.

Natalie in a pink baggy dressing gown with some wet hair. Portman skimmed through the comments.

Portman laughed when he saw that Nadan was not worried about Scarlett, and his hand tapped quickly on the keyboard: "Why worry, she agrees with me doing this." ”

Speaking of Natalie. Portman was still replying to @Scarlett at the end, and then Portman replied with a few more messages.

And Scarlett also saw Natalie. Portman's @self, after seeing Portman's post, Scarlett immediately sent a new message.

also revolves around Chen Tian and "Prison Break", and there is no reply to other messages at all.

is getting closer and closer to "Prison Break", Chen Tian, who is far away in China, followed the crew to the City of Abundance, which is the third stop of his Huaxia propaganda.

In the city of abundance, Chen Tian was warmly welcomed by the fans, while the North American side from Natalie. Portman began to launch a call for fans to watch "Prison Break."

Scarlett, Jessica. Alba, Anne. Hathaway was also immediately involved, followed by Melip . Streep, DiCaprio. Leonardo, Peter. Jackson and other heavyweight friends.

The number of video hits and discussions on the network is in Yaoyao's leading position, and such news before the release makes Green. Brown's heart is getting bigger and bigger.

And the North American release of "The Raid" has come to the Friday of the third week, and there will be three new films released on this day.

However, the new films released in the first week of the frenzied summer vacation schedule are far inferior to the summer vacation schedule in terms of quality and word-of-mouth cost.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of three new films, "The Raid", which won the single-day box office championship for 18 consecutive days, beat the 5.2 million box office of Paramount's new film "Captain Sky and Tomorrowland" with a single-day box office score of 6.43 million on Friday, and won the single-day box office championship for the 19th consecutive day.

Saturday and Sunday "The Raid" continued to hold the position of single-day box office champion, becoming the film with the longest consecutive single-day box office champion in 2004.

It has also successfully increased the North American box office of "The Raid" from $200 million to $221 million, and the overseas box office "The Raid" has successfully pulled the global box office to nearly $500 million.

It is conceivable that "The Raid" in China and Southeast Asia will finally be released, and there will be no doubt that the global box office of "The Raid" will exceed $500 million.

This will also be the first film in Chen Tian's directorial career to exceed $500 million at the box office with a single ticket, but Chen Tian, who is far away on the other side of the Pacific, is fully engaged in the painstaking "Raid" China promotional campaign, playing the role of superman on the plane almost every day.

"It's going to be released tomorrow, Justin, are you nervous?" On the other end of the phone came David. Eric's voice, "Right now we're planning to use the last day to put the Prison Break trailer in theaters to promote it.

Every time before the film is released, there are a lot of commercials, why can't we! ”

David. Eric's Jianyì reminded Chen Tian that the advertising resources of the theater are immeasurable.

If the trailer for "Prison Break" could be put in theaters, it would definitely feel different regardless of the outcome of the game.

"You communicate with the rest of the company about this matter, I have no opinion, I think this is an excellent way!" Chen Tian responded with a smile.

His whole body was like falling apart, and he spent several days on the plane in a row, and Chen Tian didn't like the feeling of flying around, and now he just wanted to find a place to sleep well.

However, Chen Tian's idea is destined to be only beautiful, and tomorrow morning he needs to fly to Jinling City, Jianghuai Province to do propaganda.

But for now, he can focus on keeping an eye on the ratings of "Prison Break," albeit across the Pacific Ocean.

Chen Tian still connected to the video software in New York. Brown.

Green. Brown deliberately gave the camera to Chen Tian, so that Chen Tian could pay attention to the changes in the number of viewers in a timely manner.

In North America on September 20, at half past eight in the evening, there is only one hour left before the start of "Prison Break".

But Green. Brown couldn't relax as much as he had before, staring at the computer as he was now, not in his office, but in the company's ratings release department.

"10 million, 10 million is good, God forbid, I only need 10 million!" Green staring at the number of jΓΉ screens. Brown muttered softly.

And Chen Tian is also looking forward to the ratings rising steadily, and at the same time, the Chinese premiere of "Raid" four days later will be excellent at the box office and reach a double flower. (To be continued......)
