"Justin, the rookie, conquered me, at least this 'Prison Break' conquered me, and it looks like he's pretty good. Grant, who let go of his wife, immediately turned his gaze to the TV.
Like Grant, because of the advertising time, he temporarily tuned the station to NBC to take a look at the previously overwhelming "Prison Break" audience, and many people were attracted by the tight plot of "Prison Break".
"In just two minutes, Justin's 'Prison Break' won me over, and I want to rewind and watch the replay right away, and who can sue me that he has the same thoughts as me?" said a man named Simon in a Yahoo forum.
To Simon's surprise, someone soon gave him a response.
"Man, you're not alone, and so am I.
Is "Prison Break" definitely not a movie but a TV series? Justin spent the TV movie, it was a blockbuster treat, and I love "Prison Break".
It's a shame that I betrayed my favorite "Rugby Night". β
"I also betrayed CSI, and it made me feel a strange feeling, 'Prison Break' is so cool, but why hasn't that lead actor seen it before? The acting is simply fantastic. β
β¦β¦
"Mannie. Are you watching TV or looking at a computer? Christian's eyes are going to kill you. Scarlett's mother, Melanie Sloan, said as she looked at Scarlett who was using her notebook.
"Christian, this guy doesn't have time for me. He seemed to be enjoying it. Scarlett shrugged and said, as she said, that Christian Sloan was fully committed to Prison Break at the moment.
"It's cool, next time I should say to Justin, such a script invites me, I love a TV series like this. Christian Sloane didn't reply.
His excellent performance in "Heartbeat" has earned him a lot of attention, but Scarlett and Melanie Sloan have been very demanding of his scripts, and all invitations have been rejected so far.
Caleb in the CBS building, not too far from Scarlett's Manhattan home, looked at the ratings in front of him: "Our ad is over. Why has the viewership growth slowed down a bit, and it hasn't even returned to the numbers just now!"
In response to Caleb's question, the staff cautiously replied: "The audience should still need a process, and sometimes they will choose to change the channel during the advertising time, which will delay some time to lock us here." β
Caleb nodded, it was normal for such a reason.
At the moment, the ratings of "CSI: Miami" have returned to 7.4% from the lowest 5% of the ad break, which is an increase of 2.4% but nearly a point lower than the 8.2% before the ad.
Even after ten minutes, the ratings only returned to 7.9%, almost stopping at 8%.
Although such a ratings situation is quite satisfactory for the prediction of this show, after all, the advertisements have broken through the 8% ratings before. Now that it is dead and alive at the door of 8%, how can Caleb be satisfied with such a situation.
The opposite is true inside the NBC TV building. Green Brown has a smile on his face.
"Green, we're on track to break 8%!"
"Justin, do you hear that? We're on track to break 8 percent, and I dare say God didn't expect that to happen.
From 0.8 percent to 8 percent, Justin you took less than thirty minutes. Green Brown had a smile on his face.
Looking at Green Brown on the screen, Chen Tian smiled happily: "It seems that when I go back, we can have a celebration party, and I don't think I need to continue to pay attention, at least I don't have to worry about getting out of NBC at the end of the first season." β
"No, how could it be, we have a lot of confidence in you, and of course you gave us a bigger surprise.
I promise tomorrow will shock the world, Justin continues the road of conquest, how about the headline?
No surprises, the ratings of the first episode of "Prison Break" will stabilize at 7%, and the peak may even exceed 9%.
With around 16 million viewers, such a result could even compete for the title of Monday's ratings champion.
This is far higher than the 8 million ratings they expected at the beginning, more than double the result, and he can imagine how excited the whole company will be tomorrow, and he will be rewarded.
If he hadn't chosen to take a risk, the company might have missed Chen Tian's "Prison Break", and there would have been no good results now.
Now try to prove how right he was in the first place, despite taking a big risk.
The screen connected to Chen Tian had been disconnected, and Green Brown smiled: "Guys, I'll treat you to supper after work tonight!"
"Green, you are God!"
"This is the second piece of good news tonight!"
"Yes, the second one, but the first one is still giving us good news, it's about to break through 8%, there are still ten minutes left in the first episode, will it break through 10% in the next episode?"
Listening to the staff, Green Brown smiled even more happily: "If it breaks 10%, then I will give you a free burger and Coke for a month." β
"I don't want to, have you forgotten Justin's Super Burger King? Since then, I've been almost insulated from Burger Coke, and I don't want to be so disgusting. β
Green Brown shrugged helplessly: "How about the Chinese food? I'll invite you to another Chinese meal, I hope to invite you!"
A Chinese meal, less than ten employees, is not too expensive together. Especially compared to his good mood at the moment.
Chen Tian, who had cut off the video connection, was also completely relieved. Two hours later, he was going to the theater to promote "The Raid". It is getting closer and closer to the release of "The Raid".
He also felt the pressure from Jackie Chan's "New Police Story", and 50 million box office in the mainland market is not an easy number.
If it is the North American market at the moment, then Chen Tian is full of confidence, relatively speaking, Huaxia is a completely unfamiliar place, but he attaches great importance to it, and this feeling is completely different from the feeling brought to him by other overseas countries.
However, at this moment, the excellent results of the debut of "Prison Break" made Chen Tian's heart relax by half.
The highest peak result of 16 million, no surprise can stabilize at 14 million. Such a number completely exceeded his own psychological expectation of 10 million, and he is also full of confidence in word of mouth.
He's looking forward to seeing what the critics, the media guys, have to say about the results and quality of "Prison Break."
However, at this time, it is only the quality that shocks film critics and media people, not the final result.
But the real-time changing ratings graph shocked Lewis and Bill at work, after the ratings of "Prison Break" rose and the other two shows declined.
However, after the commercial ended, it did not return to the pre-commercial situation, and "Prison Break" was like sitting on a hot air balloon and getting higher and higher, and finally stopped there, like the other two shows.
However, "Prison Break", which was originally thrown off a lot, not only filled the gap, but also overtook it.
At this moment, the graph on the screen clearly shows 8.7% for "Prison Break" and 8.4% for "Football Night". CSI: Miami 7.9%.
With such a result, they don't have to think about it to know how much sensation it will cause tomorrow.
Even the short two-minute ad break for "Prison Break" saw ratings drop to 7%. But within five minutes of the ad's end, "Prison Break" was back above 8% and reached a new high of 8.7% near the end of the first episode.
Almost from the beginning of the broadcast to the present, the viewership growth of "Prison Break" has almost become a power function image, the reality grows slowly and then suddenly accelerates, the slope of the curve suddenly increases, and then the area increases very slowly.
The ratings of the first episode finally stopped at a high point of 9.2%, and Chen Tian, the soundtrack of "Prison Break", once again chose to cooperate with Linkin Park, and the cooperation of "Raid" was almost perfect, and this time "Prison Break" was also not far behind.
It is the excellence of the music that keeps the audience from changing the channel as soon as possible, and then waiting for the second episode to start and come back.
Here, Chen Tian took an unprecedented opportunistic approach to retain the audience as much as possible and mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience.
"Man, I'm Justin Chen, the director of this show, maybe any of you have heard of me, maybe not.
I'm not Washington after all, so there's no way everyone knows me.
As much as I would love to get to that point, I know it's not very realistic.
The first episode is over, I hope you enjoy it, so I'll give you a little game. β
"Is this a special surprise?" Natalie Portman laughed at Chen Tian on the screen, she just listened to the ending song, and then got up to pour a glass of water, but when she came back, Chen Tian actually appeared at the end.
At this time, an in-room image appeared on the screen, and the interior looked very simple, vases, televisions, murals, hangers, ......
"You're looking at a prison, and now you're in a prison, and you have to find clues and get out.
I don't think it's going to be difficult for you, but this is only the first level. β
"Please log in to Facebook, enter the number you see, and play the game, expecting you to be as perfect as we are in Jailbreak. β
The screen disappeared, and Chen Tian appeared on the screen again.
However, this time Chen Tian was no longer wearing a sports T-sleeve, but was locked in a slap cage with his hands handcuffed.
"Please use your brains to get me out, please, you only have ten minutes per level, and you can only beat it three times a day, with an hour between each level!
HeIPmeοΌhelpmeοΌβ
With Chen Tian's shouting, the picture gradually darkened.
When the screen is completely dark, bang.
A print was stamped on the screen, and the words "jusitnchan!" were prominently displayed.
The first episode then appeared on the screen, and the viewers, who did not change the channel in time, immediately walked to their computers.
Holding a notebook and reading online reviews, Scarlett immediately entered her Facebook page. Then I found the Play Games page.
Nowadays the gaming page of Facebook. However, the games inside are very popular. Compared to later generations, it is extraordinarily simple.
But even Tetris, mini-games like Snake are very popular.
However, when you enter the page at this moment, the first game is "Prison Break".
When Scarlett clicks in and enters the numbers she sees on the TV, the game window immediately appears.
A small hourglass appears in the lower right corner of the window to indicate the start of the ten-minute countdown, and after a simple plot and gameplay prompt, the ten-minute countdown officially begins.
This small game is a change from the escape room game that was very popular in later generations, and it turned out that Chen Tian did not plan to make this game.
However, during the filming of "Prison Break". Chen Tian thought about how to retain the audience.
The original "Prison Break" actually has a lot of loopholes and unreasonableness, such as being monitored in the prison at any time whether it is indoor or outdoor; 24 hours, no criminal will have the possibility of leaving the sight of the prison guards, let alone giving Miller the opportunity to run to a barn alone; even the most basic prison visits, there will be police watching, there will be surveillance and video, and it is simply not so easy for prisoners to have other ideas.
Chen Tian's version has made some adjustments compared to the original "Prison Break", and has made corresponding adjustments and attention on the basis of the failure of the original version in the later seasons.
Today's Chen Tian version of "Prison Break" has a more compact plot than the original and can capture people's hearts more.
Use a tight plot and difficulties close to real life to highlight the authenticity.
And "Prison Break" is relatively speaking. It is the male audience that attracts more of the audience, not the female audience, which is the largest audience for TV series.
For this reason, Chen Tian's version of "Prison Break" is more handsome and manly than the actors of later generations. Whether it is Miller or other actors, they are old or young, but their figures and appearances are quite popular.
In the play, Chen Tian even appeared in some of their topless plots, these settings are all in order to attract some female audiences, after all, they are the main force in the TV drama market.
However, Chen Tian knew that this was not enough, so Chen Tian set up this "Prison Break" mini-game.
This is also the idea that Chen Tian came up with in addition to the unreasonable improvement of "Prison Break", and the game will always attract people's participation, whether it is male or female.
The game in the escape room, which became popular in later generations, is not exactly the same as "Prison Break", but it is essentially about leaving.
TODAY'S WINDOWS VERSION OF THE JAILBREAK GAME IS NOT PARTICULARLY GOOD IN TERMS OF GRAPHICS OR PROGRAMS, BUT THE DIFFICULTY IS MUCH HIGHER, SO IT IS NOT EASY TO FIND CLUES, AND IT IS A TEST OF PEOPLE'S WISDOM.
What's more, the hints of some of the clues in it are actually related to the plots that appear in the relevant episodes of "Prison Break".
If you don't watch TV, it's relatively harder to play games directly.
At the same time, the 10-minute time set for each level and the need to watch the numbers after the TV is over to play the game are among the ways to attract people to participate in the game.
People are always competitive, and once they can't play, they definitely want to play.
Especially when they feel that they can play the past, not to mention that this is a social platform, people always have a comparative mentality.
The game was developed by Mark Zuckerberg's team over the course of a week, and this moment was the first night of the game's official launch.
Some people who didn't wait for the end of the ending song don't know what happened.
"'Prison Break' is so good, and even though it seems flawed, who cares? Justin didn't disappoint me. β
"Yes, there is no disappointment, I hope the results are excellent, I don't want such an excellent drama to be cut in half. β
However, the number of participants in the discussion on the forum is not large, and you must know that although the ad between the first and second episodes is not long, it is also a full fifteen minutes.
For fifteen minutes, the forum was relatively deserted, and it looked far inferior to the CSI: Miami discussion.
And Scarlett finally completed the first level before the ten minutes were about to come.
"Congratulations on successfully breaking through the first prison, what other levels are waiting for you? Please stay tuned to Justin Chen's "Prison Break" TV series to get the invitation code for the second level!"
Looking at the letters that popped up on the screen, Scarlett chose to share the results of her game.
"Why didn't I escape from prison? It doesn't seem to have a very high success rate, which makes me doubt my IQ!"
"Man, I made it, but it took five minutes, it didn't look fast, someone only made a three-point shot, I definitely don't believe they would be that fast!"
"Who knows, I'm one of the stupid guys anyway, and I didn't make it out of prison. β
"I don't have either, but I think I can do it, but next time I'll have to wait until an hour to crack it again. β
"Didn't you discover the secret of your escape?"
"Shut your mouth, we can do it, we don't need your kindness, it's like I'm eating ice cream and you throw a poop-like cake, even if it tastes good. β
β¦β¦
"And the game, what game?"
People who don't know the game can't help but be curious when they see that there are more people in the forum all of a sudden.
And the second episode of "Prison Break" also came, and Bill and Lewis watched as the second episode of "Prison Break" instantly increased from 3% to 8% at the beginning, and then the ratings rose from 8% to a terrifying 12%.
Such a number means that the peak viewership has reached 24 million.
The first episode of the second season, "Two and a Half Heroes", was attacked by "Prison Break", and the ratings of the first episode reached 7%, almost 14 million viewers.
"Looks pretty good!" Caleb said satisfied, looking at the ratings graph in front of him.
However, he could never have imagined that the competitor "Prison Break" would be so crazy.
The "Prison Break" mini-game on Facebook also became an instant hit, with the number of participants going from less than 1 million to nearly 10 million.
The only thing that frustrates people is that they only have three chances to break through the level in a day.
And each time you finish a level, there is an hour between them, and even if you fail, you can't try again immediately.
Mark Zuckerberg, who was paying attention to the number of participants in the game, shook his head, Chen Tian's serial methods were too powerful.
A lot of people on Facebook are now asking for more playthroughs instead of three times a day, with an hour between each time.
Less than half an hour after the end of the second episode of "Prison Break," Green Brown asked his colleague in charge of the website to update the headline on NBC's official website for the first time - "Justin continues to conquer!"
Similarly, Nielsen's ratings statistics are also being processed urgently, and at 12 a.m. in North America, people waiting for the latest ratings to be released refreshed Nielsen's official website.
""Prison Break" 24.45 million! Monday's highest rating in the history of TV dramas!" (to be continued......)
