Chapter 903: A new record
During the airing of the first episode of "House of Cards", major forums and portals throughout the United States, as well as social media, were all spreading the shocking news
"Hurry up to CW TV~ It's amazing, the live debate show in the morning is real, and there is really evidence of Project Prism in House of Cards. [Full text reading]"
"Oh my God, if this is true, this screenwriter is too bold, he actually made him into the series...... This plan must be top secret, right? ”
"Is this true? I don't believe the government would do that? This is a violation of everyone's human rights, and the federal government will never do such nonsense, right? ”
In the heated discussion, whether panicked or skeptical, everyone invariably turned the remote control to CW TV to see what this "House of Cards" was about.
And this political drama, which was originally considered boring and obscure, when everyone watched it with curiosity, they quickly found that the depiction of political scenes in this series was very realistic, and there was almost no exaggeration.
And the protagonist Frank, in a clever way similar to narration, tells his heart to the audience in front of the camera, which is a good substitute for the treacherous political world.
What interests people is gimmicks and topics, but what really convinces people to believe in the world in this lens is the details and professionalism.
The more they watched it, the more they watched, the more amazed they became, and even several secretaries of the FBI and the NSA couldn't help but exclaim softly: "It's too real...... This scene and atmosphere, this screenwriter must have been in the White House. "I think he has at least 10 years of political experience...... Find out where he came from. ”
But when they learned the name of the screenwriter, these confidential secretaries opened their mouths wide, what...... The screenwriter turned out to be the troublesome Gu Xiaofan?
But is he a Chinese? And are Chinese who have never been to the United States before the age of 20?
On the screen, how can a Chinese understand the various beings in the political field of the United States, which is outlined with lies full of paper realities?
This sense of realism, from the beginning to the end, makes it impossible to question any unprofessionalism or lack of rigor in the series, which is simply a shame for all the American writers involved.
Except for Gu Xiaofan, no one knows that the original screenwriter of this series, Bauer Willy, once served as an assistant to the current US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and many things in the play are real, which is by no means different from other entertainment dramas that are branded as political dramas.
After the first episode of "House of Cards" aired, the end credits typed "based on real events" stunned everyone.
Whether it's a family viewer sitting on a couch at home watching TV, a white-collar worker watching a TV in an electronics store through the glass on the side of the street, or a black homeless man in an old TV episode in the subway lane...... couldn't help but say to the TV:
"The politicians in the White House, are they all such bastards?"
And then the thought that came to everyone's mind was, "Is that Prism Project real?" Impossible, right? Does the U.S. government monitor the world's networks? ”
Those who have more flexible brains in the audience rushed to the computer for the first time, flipped through the relevant information on the Internet, and saw if the federal court statute document existed, and whether the officials who signed the episode document were indeed the real people.
At this time, in the hall of Black Feather Warner, Liu Shishi, Chen Keer, and He Tiejun looked at the Nielsen investigation company on the computer, cleaning up the curve in real time, and they all looked sluggish.
That ratings curve soared from more than 8 million at the beginning to 15.79 million at the end of the year...... He Tiejun even rubbed his eyes vigorously, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.
Everyone is speechless, with the precedent of "Game of Thrones", they all vaguely feel in their hearts that although the theme of this show is unpopular, it will never be bad......
What is the criterion for what is called "not bad" in the evening prime time on public television? is the ranking of the top 50 programs this week, which is about 5 million people.
For dramas like "House of Cards", because the audience is not familiar with the first episode, as long as it reaches 3 million, it is considered a passing grade, and you must know that the premiere of the previous CW hit drama "Gossip Girl" is only 3.31 million.
And "House of Cards" directly broke through the 15 million viewing population...... This has surpassed the most popular drama "CSI Crime Scene" and has become the most watched drama
Oh my god...... The premiere set a record, who would have thought that this was a political drama that was previously considered to be "dozing off"?
Just when the three of them were still a little incredulous, they heard the "rumbling" sound of the floor upstairs, and even Gu Xiaofan was startled, what is this, riot, ......?
Then I heard countless people stomping, screaming, and applauding, and the entire CW staff upstairs was screaming wildly, and I heard someone shouting out of the window: "It's a record~CBS go to hell, fox go see hell"
"Let those traitors die, long live CW ~ Long live Black Feather Warner ~"
"Our CW is the best TV station in the United States, the farther away the old bastard goes, the better~ Today belongs to Black Feather Warner~"
Gu Xiaofan smacked his tongue again and again, and also stuck his head out of the window, and saw that the CW employees on the upper level were crazy about opening champagne and spraying foam outside the window~ A group of young employees stretched out their heads and shouted frantically at the night sky.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that falling objects from high altitudes will be punished to death? Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but angrily scolded the above, these people are too carried away
But his voice is often muffled by the screams and screams of those above, and the people above can't hear it at all.
Hassan also walked over with a smile and said with relief: "Forget it, in today's special situation, they have also held back for too long, so let them vent." Seeing Gu Xiaofan's puzzled face, Hasen explained with a smile:
"I'm afraid you don't understand that these employees are struggling during this time, Abel not only transferred the dramas "Gossip Girl" and "Evil Force", but also took away a group of TV elites, these people left, to put it bluntly, Abel thinks that there is no use value, they are all holding their breath, and today they are really raising their eyebrows."
