The night of New York is blurry, and the bright lights between the high-rise buildings render the city like a paradise that never sleeps. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was jubilation in the live broadcast room of CW TV, Saturday's 4.0 ratings, there is no doubt that they won the championship of ratings in this time slot for the first time, although for the four major TV stations in front, this is not a proud achievement, but for CW TV stations that have been staying at the very end and can only be a foil for other TV stations, it is undoubtedly a huge success.

This is the highest ever recorded by CW, and at this point in time, these executives even thought that the 4.0 rating was a number that they could not surpass in a short period of time.

However, they were wrong...... Couldn't be more wrong......

At the same time, in addition to CW TV's own attention to the ratings of "Resident Evil: The Walking Dead", NBC and CBS, including Cheng Xiaoyu, are paying attention to the trend of this show at the moment.

Of course, there is also Darko Bennett of ABC TV, who was once closest to Cheng Xiaoyu, he was a little restless at home, and after watching Cheng Xiaoyu shoot the promotional video, he regretted that he did not stick to his ideas at the beginning, and strongly recommended that the station sit down and have a good talk with Cheng Xiaoyu.

Although Cheng Xiaoyu's conditions are a bit harsh, in essence, they don't pay enough attention to him and don't take him seriously.

He looked at the opening of "Xichu Movie" on the screen, and said with a thought: "Fortunately, it was given to CW TV, fortunately it was on Saturday." The subtext is that if it's given to NBC or CBS, these formidable competitors, it's a dereliction of duty for him and Tom Duncan, the manager of the TV production department.

Credits and flashbacks of news from all over the world were playing, and when Darko Bennett saw director Cheng Xiaoyu's name appear at the end, he received a text message from Tom Duncan, who was still in the ABC TV center, "The ratings of 4.0 have jumped to the first place in the same time slot on Saturday." ”

Seeing this data, Darko Bennett breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, CW TV chose to broadcast on Saturday, there are no strong competitors in the same time period, and it is still acceptable for him to achieve this result, after all, there are not many programs with ABC ratings 4.0.

He threw the remote control he had saved in Zuo Shouli on the sofa, and held his mobile phone in both hands to send: "For CW, it's really a treasure, I don't know if the content of this show can keep up with the level of the promotional film, if there is such a high level, the ratings should increase later, but if it can't be matched, it may collapse." ”

As soon as Darko Bennett finished texting, her 17-year-old daughter came out of the bedroom and said to Darko Bennett, who was sitting in front of the TV, "Oh, Dad, why didn't you go out today? The weekend should be the time for you to have a drink, don't grab the TV with me at night, I won't watch your ABC, tonight belongs to CW." ”

Seeing that his daughter, who had always been out on weekends, was already standing in front of him, Darko Bennett pointed to the TV and said, "Isn't this the CW?" and then he put his hands on his chest and asked, "Can you tell me what it means that you can choose to watch TV at home on weekend nights without going out on dates?"

"Of course, it's because Bieber recommended the show to us, and he said he also had a cameo in the show..... Hope we tune in. ”

Darko Bennett then remembered that his daughter was a fan of Justin Bieber, and thought of Justin Bieber's strong appeal, which made Darko Bennett a little nervous.

The two stopped talking, sat quietly in front of the TV and began to watch the show.

The beginning is fast-paced, slightly outlining the peaceful life of a policeman's family, and then entering the high-energy stage, which is almost exactly the same as the content in the previous promotional video.

And such a grand scene can usually only be seen in movies, but this time it actually appeared in the TV series, Darko Bennett had to sigh that Cheng Xiaoyu was too willing to spend money and was too generous.

With such a shocking beginning, how can those who say that Cheng Xiaoyu will only make small-budget movies embarrassed?

It's perfectly fine as a movie.

Darko Bennett heard his daughter scream, obviously the passerby played by Justin Bieber just now, and the fleeting handsome face made her excited, Darko Bennett thought that her daughter, who had always been hot for three minutes, would leave after watching Justin Bieber's footage, but apparently she was very interested in this TV series.

"What do you think of this show?" asked Darko Bennett.

"Of course, you still need to ask, it's fun to think about it, such a post-apocalyptic world, full of dangers, how to survive, this content is so interesting, Director Cheng is idea is really cool!" The daughter stared at the TV intently and replied without hesitation.

It seems that his daughter is not only an avid fan of Justin Bieber, but also a fan of Cheng Xiaoyu.

When the two were talking, the male protagonist had already rushed into the military warning area in a truck, but the truck turned to one side, the male protagonist fainted, the screen turned black, and the male protagonist woke up again and was already lying in the hospital.

Cheng Xiaoyu took the beginning of "World War Z" at the beginning, and then seamlessly connected the plot of "The Walking Dead" from here, but compared to the original film's simple set and few group performances, this drama is too powerful, and the production cost of the first episode reached almost 20 million US dollars.

In just a few tens of seconds in the promotional video, at the beginning of the first section, the scene of the truck sweeping over Fifth Avenue and the scene of the crowd running burned more than 10 million, just paying for the group performance is a terrible number.

However, it is not so money-burning, and it is difficult to have such a sensational effect, for those who are committed to creating an IP drama, such an investment is certainly cost-effective.

After listening to his daughter's words, Darko Bennett thought to himself that it is not a pity that such a drama has a rating of only 4.0, you must know that his daughter only likes to surf the Internet, watch talk shows, and has little interest in TV series, but being able to sit here and watch this show patiently can show its strong attraction.

If this drama can be broadcast on ABC's prime time on Thursday, it will definitely trigger a ratings frenzy of 8.0..... Maybe it can break through 10.0, who can say for sure?

When Darko Bennett wanted to send a text message to ask how the ratings were at this time, he was so fascinated by the plot that he forgot to send a text message......

After about 25 minutes of acting, it was time for the commercial, and the daughter looked at the TV screen and said helplessly: "Dad, don't change the channel! I'll go to the bathroom." With that, she got up and hurried to the bathroom, obviously not wanting to miss any episodes and any scenes.

The daughter, who came back soon, sat back on the couch and posted a message on social networks, saying: "Dad, this is really amazing, it's much better than those sitcoms that only talk about cannons, and the urban vulgar romance dramas that only talk about love, why can't you ABC make such a TV series.....?

Then his daughter reached out and showed him a picture of the top of Fifth Avenue, a towering TV wall playing "Resident Evil: The Walking Dead", surrounded by countless people who were stopping to watch, comparable to the grand occasion of watching a New Year's Eve concert.....

Darko Bennett was a little surprised, and hurriedly sent a text message to Tom Duncan, but he did not reply to the message, at which time the commercial ended, the TV series continued, and Darko Bennett's attention was drawn to the screen again.

The plot is full of details and very compact, and the story of how a man struggles to survive in the last days is slowly unfolded under the huge and magnificent disaster.

This drama must never be only 4.0! At least 7.0, and the audience must reach at least 20 million!

In the ABC Television Center building in New York, the office of the TV program department, TV production manager Tom Duncan, and department manager Jones Affleck and others looked at each other, the big screen on one side was playing CW's "Resident Evil: The Walking Dead", and the computer screen was showing the comparative ratings of the five major channels.

At the moment, the other three major TV stations, like their ABC, fell into the all-time low of Saturday's schedule, and only the CW's ratings were like Mount Everest rising with a red line on the table.

There was silence in the office, and Tom Duncan smiled wryly and said, "It's a bit of a big problem this time, if the CW only airs on Saturdays, it's fine, in case they plan to change to Monday or Thursday, it's a big trouble for us....."

Jones Affleck stood behind the staff with his hands on his chest and looked at the changing real-time packing rate table, and said with some annoyance: "Who said that you don't have to care too much about this Chinese director? Who said that his requirements are too high, and there is no need to talk to him? FU*K, I knew that I should keep him anyway, isn't it just a variety show pick? Now let CW pick up a big bargain..... How do you tell me to give an account to the above on Monday?"

Tom Duncan, of course, couldn't be blamed for this, and he said with some displeasure: "This decision was not made by any one person, and the result of our joint discussion, didn't you have no objection at the beginning......?

Jones Affleck calmed his anger a little, looked at the computer screen, and said lightly, "I'm sorry. Then he said with some reluctance: "This rating appeared on Saturday..... That's an exaggeration..... I can't believe it, there must be something wrong with the data. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, picked up his coat, turned around and walked out of the office, "There's nothing to see, let's go back! ”

At the same time, NBC, CBS, and FOX are all calling "CSM" to inquire if there is an anomaly in the TV ratings data....

Even the executives of CW TV couldn't believe it when they looked at this data, Derby Feynman opened his mouth wide, turned his head to look at the financial officer of CW TV with a blank face and said, "Can you calculate how much premium we have to pay?"

The financial officer laughed more ugly than crying, and said, "President, we are going to pay an extra $10.5 million premium for this episode..... That's $33 .....million for this episode," and the treasurer added, "That's enough for us to shoot the whole show....."

Derby Feynman's expression didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "What are the ratings of "War in the Pacific", the highest single episode of CBS?"

The person in charge of the TV drama production department on the side thought about it for a while, and immediately replied: "3.5, the number of viewers of the first episode is 10 million.... But they made a lot of money selling DVDs....."

Derby Feynman sighed and said: "It's a pity that this money has nothing to do with us, it's all Xichu's ....."

"Shall we talk to Xi Chu about that..... The question of the premium .... I hope they can reduce it a little bit....." said the vice president, who was strongly in favor of the bet at the beginning, with a look of shame.

Derby Feynman glanced at the vice president, who had always been at odds with him, and said, "Elson, let's .....talk? There are only six episodes in this season...... If we still want it in the CW next season, don't be so spineless....."

The vice president turned his head and didn't speak, it seems that Monday may have to adjust his work, and the CW TV will become the world of Derby Feynman, who would have thought that this Cheng Xiaoyu could create such a big miracle.....

The ratings broke ten, reaching 11.0, and about 30 million people watched this TV series in front of the TV at the moment, which dates back to more than ten years ago, when the Internet was not yet developed and entertainment activities were relatively rare......

It was the finale of "Friends" that runs through the memories of Americans, which was broadcast in 2004 and is now the second most-watched TV program in the United States, the number one TV series, with 52.25 million viewers.

The No. 1 all-time viewer was the 38th Super Bowl American Football Tournament, which was watched by 56.91 million U.S. viewers.

Although Cheng Xiaoyu's "Resident Evil: The Walking Dead" has reached 30 million, it is still a long way from breaking through history, but it is the TV series with the highest number of viewers in recent years.....

Derby Feynman looked at the graph, turned his head and said firmly to the silent management: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us at CW..... Next week, the advertising fee for this period will be adjusted to 2 million for 30 seconds, and the title fee for a single season will start at 30 million, and the one with the highest price will get ....."

After finishing speaking, Derby Feynman took out his mobile phone, turned around and planned to walk out of the live broadcast room, and said as he walked: "I'll call Cheng now and tell him the good news....."
