At the end of the first episode of "Game of Thrones", Bran is seen climbing the tower because he saw James cheating with the queen and was caught cheating on the queen in an apartment in New Jersey, and the queen shouted in horror: "He saw us" Bran wanted to run, but was caught by the blonde knight Jaime coming up to the window. [No pop-up novel network]

The male audience couldn't help but shout: "Don't run yet~ Climb down~" The female said calmly: "It's okay, it's okay, this James is a knight and won't hurt children." ”

And at the door of an electrical appliance store, a group of black homeless men were watching the same plot broadcast on the TV inside through the glass wall, and saw the blonde knight James smiled and said, "Look at what I have done for love~" and then took the 10-year-old Bran down.

A group of blacks threw their heads and exclaimed, "My God, how could he do that?" "Isn't he a knight?" This shot made the audience who did not have North America burst into an exclamation.

As the world unfolds in its entirety, viewers in front of the TV screen begin to realize that this series is very different from all fantasy stories.

"Game of Thrones" does not have the battle between good and evil in Dragon Quest, the fairy tale of princes and princesses, and the adventure stories of brave knights overcoming obstacles, only a bloody and cruel sense of reality.

When I saw the last scene, the audience in front of the TV had an inexplicable sense of impact, and then they couldn't help but blurt out the same sentence to the TV and the TV. "Why the hell is it over at this time? What about the kids? How's that kid? Didn't anyone go to save him? ”

At this moment, in the hall of HBO, with the broadcast of "Game of Thrones", the mood of Neil and Isaiah Kanan and others became more and more nervous, and the curve on the screen slowly refreshed, from 320,000 at the beginning, slowly climbing to 400,000.

The opening has exceeded 500,000 after the show, and every few minutes, the ratings curve is going up, 550,000, 700,000, 800,000, 900,000...... Then in the 40th minute, when Gu Xiaofan's little devil played the main game, the curve had reached 1.8 million......

And in the end, when Jaime Lannister had an affair with the queen and finally retired the peeking Bran from the tower, the ratings finally exceeded 2 million as countless people in front of the TV set screamed......

The numbers ultimately showed a maximum rating of 2.13 million

"The first episode is 2.13 million ......" Isaiah Kanan, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity World", hugged his head and exclaimed to Neil: "Mr. Neil, we got 2.13 million"

Henry Simms, the editor of "Premiere", was also holding his head, shouting in disbelief: "Oh my God, the first episode will pass 2 million viewers"

Not only them, but Tony Roten, deputy editor-in-chief of Entertainment Weekly, and Thomas Robinson, film editor of American Cinematographer...... All the people of the Old Jet faction roared loudly, venting their grievances that had accumulated in their hearts for many years

No one thought that after the death of Old Jett, they would be able to shoot such a drama with a viewing population of more than one million

Neil was stunned for a few seconds, rushed to the laptop in disbelief, clicked the refresh button again, rubbed his eyes, and after making sure it wasn't a system problem, he suddenly reacted and yelled at the people who were amazed: "Don't be quiet"

When a roar frightened everyone, Neil said to his secretary:

"Hurry up~ Let's go to the marketing department and see if there are any overseas TV stations to requote "Game of Thrones".

Everyone reacted when they heard this, and they all came to the marketing department together, and now the ratings are there, and more importantly, the overseas sales rights of "Game of Thrones".

If no one makes an offer, then no matter how good the ratings of "Game of Thrones" are, it will have little practical effect.

Everyone rushed to the marketing department, and Neil quickly grabbed the manager of the marketing department and asked, "William, has anyone called to quote now?" ”

"No...... I haven't ...... yet" The gray-haired William said helplessly, and his expression was also very anxious.

The people in the room all looked anxious, could it be that the style of this fantasy series was not liked by other TV stations.

Also...... In the final scene of the first episode, the blonde knight James and the queen throw a 10-year-old child off the tower, which is too contrary to people's minds to the image of knights, will European TV stations accept this kind of theme?

At the moment when Neil and the others were a little helpless, they suddenly heard the phone ringing, and an employee of the marketing department picked it up and immediately said: "Is it Einhorn TV in the Netherlands?" Oh...... Would you like to acquire the exclusive Dutch rights to Game of Thrones? ”

Neil listened, his face full of excitement and gesturing to the employee to tell him what price to quote.

The employee said with a face full of surprise and said loudly to Neil and the others, "You TV station out $400,000 per episode?" ”

$400,000 per episode? Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, and my goodness was four times higher than the previous offer on Dutch television

Before the excitement was over, the phone rang on the other side, and this time the marketing manager William went to pick it up in person, and after picking it up, he was pleasantly surprised:

"Is it Canada's national television? Do you want to be bidding for Game of Thrones? What is the bidding price for each episode......? $670,000? Oh see...... I'll go and declare it right away. ”

Neil, Isaiah Kanan and others almost jumped up with excitement, and the three landlines of the marketing department began to ring in an endless stream, and TV stations in Brazil, Argentina, Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic began to quote for "Game of Thrones".

Their prices are far more than the previous $100,000 per episode, reaching an average of $430,000 per episode.

This made everyone ecstatic, but at this time, Neil suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Wait, William~ From now on, the people in your marketing department will turn all the phones to the state of connecting the busy line, don't answer any calls." ”

At this time, Neil's first reaction was to think of how to increase the price of "Game of Thrones", and at this time, overseas offers from TV stations all over the world have been flocking, and it is the time for them to seize the initiative, and they must adjust their appetite at this time.

Tonight, let's just let them stay out of the phone all night.

"I didn't expect this series to be filmed so well, and our HBO crew has such strength." Neil's eyes lit up with excitement, and he couldn't help but laugh:

"Hehe, the first episode has more than two million viewers, and tomorrow I'm going to see what Abel's old bastard has to say in the boardroom."

Seeing Neil laughing proudly, Isaiah Kanan and the others also hurriedly laughed, but secretly thought in their hearts, this Neil only said HBO's contribution, and did not mention Gu Xiaofan's name at all, and clearly wanted to take all the credit in his arms, so as to make a little achievement, just this virtue, who would be willing to follow him in the future.

In contrast, Gu Xiaofan was silently dedicated, and he was still filming nervously, and everyone knew better who could lead them to confront Abel
