With this hot topic, the ratings of "Survivor" reached a new high the following week, with an average viewership of 25 million, and the subsequent sixth season of "Friends" also exceeded 20 million, and the performance was very stable.

In comparison, "The Story of the Emergency Room" was a little inferior at the beginning, and it was also a two-episode series, and the average viewership of the premiere of "The Story of the Emergency Room" was only 17 million.

This result did not come as a surprise to Eric, as "ER Story" was relatively unpopular and did not have the long-standing popularity of "Friends" and the eye-catching novelty of "Survivor".

Of course, this 'inferior' data is only relative to "Survivor" and "Friends", as a new drama TV series, the ratings of 17 million people have been among the best among similar new dramas that will be broadcast at the same time in the autumn file, and "The Story of the Emergency Room" has received very good reviews in the film critics and audience groups, I believe that with good word-of-mouth accumulation, the ratings data of this medical drama can also get out of a beautiful upward curve.

With the ratings of these programs, from Monday's "Football Night" to Thursday's "Friends" The high-rated ace series of ABC's first-line line has once again increased the market share of TV networks to an enviable level, NBC and other competitors originally expected ABC to fall into a ratings slump because of the merger with Fireflies, and ABC's strong position has been almost unshakable in a short period of time, which has left executives of several other major TV networks racking their brains to find ways to snatch viewership share from several other competitors.

When the network was thriving, Eric had already returned to New York from Long Island to begin the final stages of preparations for the Victoria's Secret show. While most of the setup in the Lightsington Avenue Arsenal has been completed, there are still plenty of things that require Eric's personal attention.

Not to mention the testing of stage effects such as lighting, scenery, and sound effects, only photography scheduling. In order to collect enough editing materials and achieve satisfactory results, at least eight professional-grade cameras need to be used at the same time in the foreground, backstage, fixed-point, slide rail, follow-up shooting, rocker arm, overhead shooting and other camera positions in the entire Victoria's Secret show venue. Although Eric had ready-made images in his head to refer to, it would take more than half a week to test the camera position alone, and there were only four weeks left for the entire Victoria's Secret show to shoot in early November.

When Eric was working intensely behind the scenes, all of Manhattan was in the spotlight. Undoubtedly, the forty Victoria's Secret angels who can attract a lot of attention wherever they appear. And, very coincidentally, New York just hosted Fall Fashion Week in mid-September, and if it were any other year, fashion journalists from all over the world might have left, but the upcoming first annual Victoria's Secret show has left these people behind. This is not only because of the personal appeal of Eric, a 'crossover' director, but also because of the absence of 40 top models from New York Fashion Week, which not only makes this year's fashion week much inferior. At the same time, it also made the media more curious about what kind of big show an outsider like Eric would make.

Because of strict secrecy measures, these media reporters stranded in New York could not get much inside information at all, so in the process of waiting, they had to spend a lot of energy on the angel supermodels who often haunt Manhattan. The hordes of journalists can even cause traffic jams on the streets.

Although it took months to prepare for the Victoria's Secret show, and even missed New York Fashion Week, which is very important for professional models. However, with the unsparing media resources of Firefly Group and Yahoo Portal, the attention of the 40 Victoria's Secret Angels has been far ahead of most models in the industry.

On the fashion edition of Yahoo Portal, a special feature dedicated to the Victoria's Secret show has appeared all 40 Victoria's Secret angels' belief information and biographies, which have accumulated a lot of hits in the past few months, and some keen modeling agencies in the industry have noticed this and have set up special company websites. Attempts to promote the company's models in a flawed manner have largely had little effect, given that the hastily established company's websites receive negligible hits compared to the sheer volume of traffic on the Yahoo portal. It will not be able to play the role of Yahoo.

Although more intensive publicity will be placed after the broadcast of the Victoria's Secret show, before that, some Victoria's Secret angels have been 'smashed' by the sudden rise in fame.

The Arsenal on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan is an old dark brown brick building that was once used by the word 'Arsenal', but after World War II, the 5,000-seat building was used for concerts, plays, and gatherings for most of the time.

Inside the tightly sealed arsenal, Eric and his old partner Nichol Frank, who was the director of photography for the Victoria's Secret show, were personally adjusting the camera on the slide next to the catwalk, and Emily, dressed in a professional suit, hurriedly walked in with her assistant's steps, her face slightly tense, and a magazine in her hand.

Hearing the sound of clattering high heels behind him, Eric turned his head to look, then focused on the camera stand again, and casually joked to Emily, "Who provoked you, it wasn't because he was worried that Chris would dump you if he stayed in Finland for too long?"

After the popularization of the GSM standard, Nokia, which was the first to come up with mobile phone products in this communication system, entered a period of rapid growth, and various problems in the process of rapid expansion of the company also led to Chris's frequent flight to Europe, and recently Chris also went to Nokia's headquarters in Finland.

Emily ignored Eric's joke and handed the magazine to Eric and said, "Read it for yourself." ”

Eric raised his right hand: "I have organic oil in my hand, you can just say it." ”

Emily picked up the magazine, spread out the cover and gestured to Eric, "Now." ”

Eric looked at it, it was a magazine called "Vogue New York", the cover was a girl wearing a leather jacket and jeans uniform from the Victoria's Secret show, and after a little recognition, Eric smiled: "Heidi Krum, the street photography is beautiful, what's wrong?" (To be continued.) )
