"24.45 million, what TV show, how is it possible, is this number crazy?"

"Are these guys at Nelson sure they didn't make a mistake by drinking a little more and then typing the wrong four-digit number? Not 14.45 million? ”

"It looks real, oh my God, how is that possible! 24.45 million, this is a phenomenal number of viewers! Even if the number is not particularly accurate. ”

……

Countless people let out such a sigh and clicked in.

"How is it possible to have such a number? Oh my God, I thought it wasn't NBC number jù fake. Or is there something wrong with Nelson's monitoring system? USA Today reporter Kenny. Duchette looked at the computer screen and his mouth widened.

There are many people who think the same way as him. To be in fourth place is enough to shock 99 percent of the people. Not to mention that the second episode of "Prison Break" has an extraordinary increase in ratings over the first episode.

Nearly 10 million increases, which is completely counterintuitive.

"Are the ratings statistics just released correct? Why is Prison Break so high? ”

Kenny. Duchette dialed Nelson's phone directly, and Lewis, who was listening to the call, knew that someone would be suspicious.

To this end, he has made a detailed report on the ratings, from the graph to the why it is improving.

"Sir, we'll release the details of last night's TV show later, I think you'll understand after watching it." Lewis hung up the phone and immediately updated the statistics to the homepage of the website.

When Kenny. When Duchette saw the detailed statistics, he believed that the ratings statistics were not fake but true.

Early the next morning, the news of "Prison Break" occupied the entertainment pages of major newspapers.

No one could have imagined that "Prison Break" would have such a strong opening, and such a record-breaking result completely stunned everyone.

24.45 million, such a number makes advertisers feel the huge potential.

The "Prison Break" mini-game on Facebook is fermenting on the basis of last night, and the number of participants has successfully exceeded 10 million.

A lot of viewers who didn't watch Prison Break also participated, but the difficulty of the game made it difficult for them and made them attractive to Prison Break.

The message board on the official website of "Prison Break" has become particularly popular, and many people are discussing the plot of "Prison Break" and discussing the "Prison Break" mini-game.

"Thank you to all the friends who have watched and supported or followed "Prison Break", you are the driving force behind my efforts.

24.45 million. Oh, such a result makes me feel crazy. Even I couldn't have dreamed of this number.

But you did, but I want to say it's just the beginning.

I hope to give you more exciting, I love you! ”

Chen Tian's thank-you video recorded in Huaxia was posted on the official website of "Prison Break", and NBC's top brass began to get busy.

Although only two episodes of the first episode aired last night, the first episode "Prison Break" was filmed for a total of 24 episodes, and if two episodes are broadcast every Monday, it can be shown for twelve weeks.

But last night was so hot, and although it started off badly, now the whole country knows how crazy Prison Break is.

Discussions about Prison Break can be seen everywhere on the forums, and advertisers are eager to increase the price to get a spot in each episode of Prison Break.

"There's no one who can't fail to see the greatness of Prison Break, and I've heard that both HBO and FOX are planning to contact Justin for the rights to a future second season, and they're willing to pay a premium for it." Green. Brown said.

"Prison Break" has 24.45 million, needless to say, it can win the championship on Monday, even if it gets other time periods, it is also the top few contenders, and it can even compete for the most prime-time viewing championship position with the increase in the audience base.

For such an achievement, how can it not make other TV stations excited, especially everyone knows that Chen Tian's "Prison Break" only signed a contract with NBC for one season.

For such a hot result and engagement, Green. Brown believes that there must be many TV stations willing to pay high prices to impress Chen Tian.

So at this moment, he proposed to discuss the cooperation plan with Chen Tian for the second season of "Prison Break", as well as the variety show plan that Chen Tian had briefly mentioned.

He wanted Chen Tian to be tied to himself, and then tied to NBC.

Now Green. Brown has great trust in Chen Tian, and if God and Chen Tian were put together and asked her to choose who she would like to believe, he would definitely choose to believe Chen Tian without hesitation.

"I understand, I'll leave this matter to you to talk about, and ask him if he's interested in hosting a talk show."

"It might be a little difficult, but Justin. Chen told me that he wanted to start a variety reality show, but the details have not been said yet, and I think we should directly agree to him.

Now he represents the ratings. And he cherishes his reputation. I don't think it's going to mess around. His ideas always proved to be brilliant. "Green. Brown looked at the president and said seriously.

The president of NBC nodded: "This matter is left to you, as long as it is reasonable, it can be discussed." ”

The "Prison Break" fire gave NBC a sense of pride, and he wanted that feeling to continue.

"It's really great, even if it's a loophole, but the audience is happy to accept his arrangement, and it's a great way to deal with it, especially the little game at the end of the film.

How does his brain look like yesterday before the official screening of NBC's "Prison Break" also said Justin. Chan also has a mystery show that will be released.

Kaleb. What do you think it will be? Talk show or continue the TV series?

I haven't heard of him continuing to shoot a TV series, and I think it's probably a live talk show, which doesn't require much time.

Now Justin. Chen is a popular fried chicken, and many people are willing to see him on the screen. ”

Vice President of CBS, Adam Brown. Shockson glanced at the crowd in the room, and finally focused on Caleb.

Shokeson didn't have much dissatisfaction with CBS's two heavyweight films failing to retain the single-day ratings championship, after all, both TV series met CBS's expectations, but "Prison Break" was too rebellious.

"I also think it's supposed to be a talk show, and his hosting table at the Emmys is great.

And he has abundant resources, if he does a talk show, it should be good. However, I don't think there should be a final contract with NBC, otherwise NBC will continue to reveal the news today.

My men said they didn't know about it. It's probably just a rough intention, and I think we need to get in touch with Miramax on a deeper level.

Now it's certainly not just us and NBC who want to compete for a second season of "Prison Break", and I don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as the price is reasonable. Caleb said earnestly.

He studied the first two episodes of "Prison Break" carefully, and the tight handling of the plot completely attracted him.

He did not have any doubts about the results of "Prison Break", on the contrary, he believed that if Chen Tian could continue this near-perfect way of handling, the results would only be better.

As Caleb said, not only NBC, CBS, and HBO, but even FOX, the owner of Twentieth Century Fox, which has a conflict with Chen Tian, has also chosen to communicate with Miramax.

However, at this moment, Chen Tianren did not give anyone a final answer, and this hanging made several TV stations eager for the second season of "Prison Break" even more anxious.

The discussion of "Prison Break" has become more enthusiastic, and Chen Tian, who is in China, has also ushered in the last battle of publicity.

Flying from Singapore to Beijing, the time has come to September 24 in China, and there is only a week before the National Day.

And today is also Friday in China, and "Raid" and Jackie Chan's "New Police Story" will meet in a narrow way.

The Hollywood blockbuster "King Arthur" and the main theme movie "Zhang Side" will also be released today, and "Harry Potter 3: Prisoner of Azkaban", which swept the world on National Day four days later, will be released together with the critically acclaimed Wong Kar-wai films "2046" and "Zheng Peimin".

Although there is no National Day file in China at this time, the continuous blockbuster release is enough to make domestic fans look forward to it.

Now there are less than 2,300 screens in the country, and the film schedules of "Raid" and "New Police Story" have reached 42% and 38% respectively.

The two films together occupy 90% of the big screen, which makes many film companies feel dissatisfied.

However, their dissatisfaction could not be exchanged for increasing the film schedule, and the theater chain put all their expectations on "Raid", which set foot in the Chinese mainland market for the first time, and "New Police Story" brought by Jackie Chan, who has countless fans in the Chinese mainland.

"The Raid" claims that the investment of 5 million US dollars is a pitiful ultra-low-budget film in North America, but at this time, the investment of more than 40 million yuan in Huaxia is already a huge production.

Not to mention that "The Raid" has accumulated $430 million at the global box office before today.

Today, it will be released simultaneously in China and thirteen countries and regions in Southeast Asia, which is also where the last part of "Raid" will be released.

Jackie Chan's "New Police Story" was also released today in China and various countries in Southeast Asia, compared with Chen Tian.

In the past 20 years, his films have been performing well in East and Southeast Asian countries and regions, and for Chen Tian and Jackie Chan, the war between the two films is not only burning in mainland China.

It is also ...... in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia and other 14 countries and regions.

"The Movie Duo, the Coming of the Prosperous Age of Movie Fans in 2004" -- this is the headline of the entertainment edition of the People's Daily today.

Newspapers in other countries and regions have also focused on "The Raid" and "New Police Story" in the film market. (To be continued......)
