Chapter 910: Stabilize the situation
"House of Cards, House of Cards, House of Cards......" On Monday morning and Sunday night, the official ratings report was on the desk, but Macbeth, the general manager of CW TV, did not open it for a long time, as if by magic, he muttered the name of the series and pulled the tie knot at the front of his neck. 【】
Spring in New York is still a little chilly, but he feels stuffy all over, and his heart is beating very fast and heavy. This looks like "House of Cards" can hold up to it
"God forbid" Macbeth gritted his teeth and slowly opened the blue file, it was really nervous to close it again, a drop of cold sweat slipped down his forehead, and he took a few deep breaths, Macbeth suddenly opened the document and looked at it, his face was expressionless for a while, he exhaled a long breath, leaned on the back of the chair and pressed his forehead, and saw the number of 20.53 million.
ohdeargod~ He widened his eyes and exclaimed softly: "It didn't even drop below 20 million...... It's amazing......"
On behalf of his father Chen Yongqi, Chen Keer, who was in charge of TV and news interviews at Black Feather Warner, also felt unbelievable when he heard the news: "There are still 20 million ...... Does that mean we're still number one of the week? ”
Although it lost to "American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars" on the weekly list, on the drama list, if it beats the 15.76 million viewers of "CSI Crime Scene" and the 15.23 million of "Two and a Half Heroes", the two traditional strong dramas occupy the first place in the drama list.
The 20.53 million "House of Cards" achieved a big win after losing the gimmick of the "Prism Project", but the most surprising thing is that the number of viewers in the 1849 age group reached an exaggerated height of 15231624 points
This means that the advertising cost will reach more than $350,000 per 30 seconds, which is a lot of money compared to the production of this political drama at $2 million per episode.
In this way, the audience of this series has stabilized, at least in this season, "House of Cards" will become the strongest series in the United States, Gu Xiaofan brought the good results created by "Game of Thrones" to public television.
On the other hand, to CW's surprise, Gu Xiaofan's screenwriting of the youth theme "Revenge" also achieved good results of 800 viewers on Wednesday.
More than a month ago, everyone was still worried that the loss of "Gossip Girl" and "Evil Force" would be devastating to CW, but now, no one misses these two dramas anymore~
And for the entire Black Feather Warner, the good news is far more than that, N's news program, which has seen a decline in ratings for 3 consecutive years, has also regained its former news dominance under a series of exclusive revelations from "Prism Gate", and those government department interview seats that have passed, as well as war correspondent projects, have all been restored, which makes N feel high morale.
At the meeting, many enthusiastic management members shouted loudly that Chairman Gu must continue to cooperate with informants and expose more government insiders, which made Gu Xiaofan cry and laugh.
Of course, he won't listen to these people, he won't sacrifice the overall interests of Black Feather Warner for N, now the number of registered people on Twitter and "Didi Dache" has hit a record high, and it is still developing rapidly, and Black Feather Warner, which has been turbulent because of mergers and acquisitions, has slowly recovered its vitality, and now is the time to start the group's business one by one.
At this time, there is no need to continue to entangle with the US government.
Black Feather Warner's steady footing began to recover little by little, and the most hit was of course the competitors.
In Delaware, the headquarters building of News Corporation, the Fox TV department was covered in a gloomy cloud, and the conference rooms filled the upper floors were silent, and everyone bowed their heads, not daring to face the head of News Corporation, the world's media tycoon Sr. Murdoch, who was sitting in the chairman's chair, and the world's media tycoon with a grim face.
Judging from the ratings of this period alone, Fox TV's executives should not be so depressed, because their "Fox Sunday" has become the hottest political talk show because of the sensational debate in the United States.
But the real blow to Fox News was that the U.S. government propaganda department transferred all their interview seats to N without any explanation, and at the same time, many of their battlefield cooperation projects in Iraq and Afghanistan were also transferred to N ......
"Can anyone tell me why? Why are we being beaten all over the ground by a broken company? Old Murdoch said slowly, looking at his son:
"Edward, you are in charge of the group's external social affairs, can you explain why our relationship with the U.S. government has suddenly deteriorated?"
"I don't know......" Edward shook his head bitterly, he hadn't received any news beforehand, but he had actually vaguely guessed in his heart that Gu Xiaofan had done all this...... He must have made some deal with the White House in private, but if he said it at this time, I'm afraid no one would believe him.
And Abel Warner and Allen at the scene had gloomy faces, and they wanted to stop talking, Gu Xiaofan was like a huge shadow hanging over their heads, obviously News Corp has become a well-deserved overlord of Hollywood, but there is still nothing to do about this Chinese cripple.
"Alright, Edward, you can continue to investigate this matter." The elder Murdoch didn't seem to want to criticize his son too much in public, so he changed the topic in a deep voice:
"Next, the summer file is coming, in terms of movies, you have to hurry up, you should come up with some results this year."
These words were said to the new Abel Warner father and son who joined News Corporation, when they brought "Harry Potter" and other series of movies to join, which greatly damaged Warner's vitality, and Twentieth Century Fox Pictures has been recognized in the industry as the new overlord of the film industry.
Abel Warner just nodded slightly, and didn't promise anything, compared to the old Murdoch, he is more of a sense of competition, and now he is only temporarily subservient to him, one day, he will also control Warner, master Fox Films.
The two Hollywood celebrities have different thoughts, but they don't really take the competitor Black Feather Warner in their eyes, Gu Xiaofan has become a cripple on the spot, what big waves can he make?
The only thing to worry about is Nolan's new film "Inception" in the summer......
