Chapter 751: CSI and Water Rush

"Why? Don't believe what I said?" the Grandmaster asked with a smile as he squinted at Yan Tianjiao.

"Where? I, I just think it's a little incredible? Oh my God, 20 million viewers, if you can really reach that number, no one can stop the rise of TBS. Yan Tian said happily.

"Of course, we can reach this number of viewers, and the number I just mentioned is still the most conservative number. ”

In the past, ABC released a series in October in the fall of 2004. On the day of its premiere, the series recorded 21.6 million viewers, and by the time the first season finale, the viewership exceeded the 30 million mark.

And the series ran for eight seasons in a row, until the eighth season fell below 10 million viewers before it had to end the longest series in ABC's history. (PS: Later, this record was broken by the release of "Grey's Anatomy" in 2005, which ran for a total of thirteen seasons.) )

And the impact of this series among American housewives is unparalleled, when it airs every week, countless housewives in the United States adjust their channels to ABC to watch "Desperate Housewives", and with this series and another even better "Grey's Anatomy", ABC successfully took out NBC, and the ratings rose to second place in the United States.

Since you want TBS to rise, it is undoubtedly very appropriate to launch this series at this time.

The main force of the North American viewership is those housewives who stay at home all day, and this group of talents is the strongest supporters of American dramas, as long as they can conquer this gang, then TBS's ratings are guaranteed.

Hearing what the Grandmaster said with such certainty, Yan Tianjiao nodded and said, "Fourth brother, leave this matter to me, I will definitely build this series well." ”

"Well, you can do it. I can tell you with certainty that if this series is done according to my outline, then this series can be broadcast for at least six or seven years in a row. ”

When Yan Tianjiao heard this, he was overjoyed.

The Grandmaster went on to write a name on the paper - "Crime Scene Investigation".

Then he said: "One drama alone is obviously not enough to support a TV station, so I plan to launch another series." Oh, this is the series. It's a ...... Well, how to say it, this should be a heavyweight series, and as you can tell from the name, this series belongs to the detective category. This is something I conceived a long time ago, and now it's time to come up with it. As long as this series can be filmed according to my intentions, I believe it can catch the attention of many adult men. ”

"Detective dramas?" Yan Tianjiao was a little dumbfounded.

It's not that there haven't been episodes of this type of drama before, it's just that the ratings of this type of drama are not very good, only a few can last until the second season, and most of the dramas of this type often end completely after the end of the first season.

"Can this type of drama be done?" Yan Tianjiao asked cautiously.

"Hehe, don't worry, if others can't succeed, it doesn't necessarily mean that I can't succeed!

Yan Tianjiao shook his head and said, "I can't trust anyone, I can't trust you." ”

"That's good, don't worry, once this series can be filmed according to my intentions, then I can give you a surprise of 25 million viewers, and of course, this series can be filmed for at least 144 or 5 seasons!"

The Grandmaster's words are not nonsense. In the previous life, CBS launched this "CSI", which is also known as "CSI", but it broke the records of many American dramas.

In the last few years of the twentieth century, CBS TV station was caught between ABC and NBC, but it was quite difficult. At that time, Anthony Sucker, who was still working as a streetcar driver in Las Vegas, saw a program called "New Detective" on the Discovery Channel one day, and was inspired to write a story about a police officer from a forensic perspective.

This idea was appreciated by the Hollywood gold producer at the time, Hai Jui Bruckheimer, and the two worked together to produce several episodes of "CSI".

What I didn't expect was that when these episodes were sent to ABC, they were rejected on the grounds that it might be difficult for the audience to understand the plot of such episodes.

As a result, the news was learned by CBS TV at the time. CBS TV station, which was in a difficult period, decisively bought this series, and as a result, a golden drama that occupied the first place in the ratings of American dramas all year round and had a peak viewership of 25 million people was born......

And this "CSI" not only created a 15-year trend of detective dramas in the United States, but also pushed CBS to the top of the three major TV stations in one fell swoop. The most important thing is that there are also many spin-offs with good word-of-mouth and ratings from this series, which is enough to prove the strength of this series.

It was precisely because he knew the brilliance of this series that the Grandmaster dared to take this series out.

However, having the two series "Desperate Housewives" and "Crime Scene Investigation" is not enough, since TBS is to be promoted to the position of the most awesome TV station in the United States, then the Grandmaster needs to come up with some more programs.

The Grandmaster went on to write a name on the paper - "The Great Water Rush".

Yan Tianjiao looked at the name and asked curiously, "Fourth brother, is this also a drama?"

The Grandmaster shook his head with a smile and said, "No, it's a variety show. These two episodes are enough for the time being, but we still need to create a few classic variety shows for TBS, and this "Water Break" is a variety show that I came up with. ”

As he spoke, the Grandmaster began to explain this water breakthrough activity that was popular in China in his previous life.

This event actually originated in the United States in the late 90s, and its birthplace was a shopping mall in New York, USA.

At that time, the mall was engaged in promotional activities and engaged in a simplified version of the entertainment program. But because there wasn't enough publicity, the event wasn't very successful and didn't attract many people, so the show was put down.

As a result, no one expected that when the idea of this activity was introduced to Huaxia, this activity would be a complete explosion on the land of China.

Before the grandmaster of the previous life crossed over, as long as it was a variety show on the TV, eight out of ten were broadcasting this kind of reality show. There are land passes, water passes, and air passes.

Anyway, how evil it is, at that time, people in Huaxia who were three years old and ninety years old knew such a breakthrough entertainment program.

In fact, this show is very entertaining, and it can truly achieve the participation of the whole people, and the reason why it did not become popular in the United States in the previous life was because the publicity was not in place.

But since this entertainment project can become popular in China, the grandmaster believes that as long as the publicity is in place and a few celebrities are brought in to participate in this show, then this show will be as popular as it is in the United States.
