Chapter 377: Batman Candidate
The early issue of "TV Guide" magazine revealed the results of the ratings survey of MM TV, which has been on the cusp recently, and aired its first sitcom "The Big Bang Theory".
Written by Chen Tiandu himself, "The Big Bang Theory" aired at 8:30 p.m. ET on Friday, and when the first episode was broadcast, it attracted more than 11.05 million viewers to watch the show, but after the second episode was broadcast in succession, it quickly set a new record for the nighttime ratings of adults aged 18-49 on MM TV (4.6/10).
That is, 46% of the people who watched the first episode of The Big Bang Theory were teenagers. In the United States, where commercial television networks are very mature, 18-49rating represents the group with the most spending power, and it is this group of people that all TV stations want to strive for. Advertisers also use this part of the ratings as the pricing standard for advertising fees. Even if the ratings of a program are high, if the proportion of 18-49rating is very low, advertisers will not favor it, and the advertising fee will not be too high.
At the same time, the increase in ratings is also very obvious, because the first day was two episodes in a row, and the ratings of the second episode quickly climbed from 11.05 million to 12.83 million, which is simply a miracle.
Even the former veterans of MM TV were dumbfounded, "Oh my God, is this still the same UPN, I feel like I work at CBS." ”
The next day, most of the media chose to remain silent, and if this was the case, was it a complete failure to continue to criticize Chen Tiandu's TV tour? This rating is only slightly lower than NBC's eighth season of "Friends".
"American Television News" did a social survey-style report, and most young viewers found it very fresh. Because of this unique style of sitcom. From the very beginning, we have been aiming at the "otaku culture" that has become more and more popular. It is very light to attract a large number of regular audiences. plus the movie fans who originally attracted attention because of Chen Tiandu's turn to the drama. Although this number is a bit high, it is also objective.
Who would have thought that between four genius scientists studying quantum physics and a blonde waitress in a restaurant with dreams of being an actress, there would be such a laughing joke.
Fresh angles and unique jokes are refreshing for the audience. This American drama has set off a "scientist craze" in Europe and the United States as well as in China, and it is like a model of comedy in American TV dramas in recent years.
In The Big Bang Theory, nerds are exposed to a wide range of scientific and technological knowledge. In addition to their profession of physics, they can also blurt out other things such as chemistry, biology, medicine, and electronic information. The knowledge presented is cutting-edge. There are also the closest to life. This is full of positive significance.
In the play, there are knowledgeable nerd everywhere, and at this stage, the supreme of the majority of the people has improved, so it is no longer enough to teach people correct values and teach people to be positive.
People who have the right values and a positive attitude towards life need such a means, without a little didactic component, so that they can learn through laughter. That's what it's all about. When people keep watching, they will slowly accept the concept that the show promotes that smart is the sexiest. This is the promotional slogan for The Big Bang Theory. )
The editor even made a bold prediction that because "Friends" has decided that it will end in the tenth season, "The Big Bang Theory" is likely to complete the sitcom succession by that time. As long as the future episodes can keep the plot unbiased and continue to let the personalities of the main characters in the show come to the fullest, they will become the most anticipated sitcoms in the coming years.
Many fans of American dramas in the MSN group have begun to discuss "The Big Bang Theory".
In the second week, the broadcast system returned to the one-episode broadcast system, but when the ratings results were announced, the entire media world was in a sensation. The 18-49 rating ratio of 4.43, coupled with a rating of 14.057 million, directly detonated the broadcast season in September 2002. Although the proportion of 8-49 ratings in the overall ratings has decreased, it shows that not only teenagers, but also Americans of other ages have begun to choose to watch "The Big Bang Theory".
This ratings are released at the time. There was a loud cheer from the entire MM TV station. The outside world is even speculating when "The Big Bang Theory" will break 20 million.
Chuck Noll and Bill Prady were already incoherent: "Oh my God, my boss, is there anything else you can't do?" ”
As the series quickly reborn MM TV, Chen Tiandu's prestige within the TV station is also increasing day by day. But this cannot be said to be Chen Tiandu's credit.
According to the law of American drama broadcasting, it is the norm to broadcast while filming.
Chen Tiandu only wrote the outline of the script and precautions, and the specific shooting needs to be adjusted at any time, after all, he is not omnipotent. If the audience feels that Sheldon is too bitter in this episode, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some viewers, and at this time, as a producer, you must quickly understand the situation and make appropriate adjustments.
Rao is like this, Chuck and the two, who are in charge of the overall situation, still admire Chen Tiandu.
The good news keeps coming, the broadcast schedule of "Lost" is getting closer and closer, and a small-scale pilot survey shows that the response from the audience is very good, and they are generally interested in the plot after the suspense. This also makes the entire TV station department full of confidence. With the strong support of the boss, the audience index is also increasing day by day, and those groups are starting to move. In the final analysis, the current MM TV station is still inherited from UPN, and those youth idol-style dramas that are good at it naturally can't be lost. They are planning to bring the new MM TV series back to life in North America.
In another piece of good news, the freshman "American Idol", led by Simon Cowell, has begun universal suffrage in the United States.
As soon as the news spread on MM TV, it immediately attracted great attention throughout the United States, and every time the convoy of the program team arrived in a city, it aroused the enthusiastic onlookers of countless young men and women, which was simply too hot. Who would dare to say that Chen Tiandu spent a lot of money to introduce this variety show from the UK.
……
Seeing that the TV station was finally on the right track, Chen Tiandu also began to prepare his own movie with confidence.
When Matrix was preparing for "Van Helsing", he actually announced that a small production of the movie "Juno" would be released this Christmas, which immediately surprised many people. Crazy, it's September now, and they haven't chosen a role yet, so they want to release it for Christmas.
I thought it wouldn't grab much news, but it was unexpected, so many big names in Hollywood flocked to it, and the competition was still for supporting roles.
"Is the world crazy, or am I crazy?" McClavi, a reporter for The Atlantic Daily, put down the phone speechlessly, the news he had just received from an informant at the brokerage company could only be explained by incomprehensibility.
It's just a small-budget movie with an investment of no more than 10 million, and it will be released at Christmas, and everyone knows Chen Tiandu's plans. It's going to be for next year's Oscars. But what is this damn movie about, it hasn't revealed the slightest rumor before.
Countless well-informed people found the outline in the Writers Guild, only to learn that this is a drama about a teenage pregnancy in high school, and Juno is just a 16-year-old high school student who is unexpectedly pregnant, and the story begins.
Chen Tiandu also serves as a producer, director, and screenwriter in this small-budget film. As for the choice of the heroine "Juno", Matrix Movies has still not announced who it is.
"A complete workaholic!"
"Energetic Christmas Chan!"
This has almost become the consensus of the Hollywood media about him, how many movies will he make this year?
And the Los Angeles Times, the mouthpiece of the matrix, deserves the latest news. This news did not disappoint them, and the next day it was reported in the newspaper that everyone was confused: "The "Batman" project that has been away from the audience for several years has officially started, and Warner has joined forces with the matrix to create a new Batman. And the casting of "Juno" is actually choosing the main actors such as Bruce Wayne and Catwoman for "Batman". ”
Oh my God, no wonder the big names are eager to get on the beaten track but don't want to reveal more.
Sure enough, there is a fierce news!
Batman fans on the Internet began to spontaneously compete for Batman and the best Batman wife candidates.
So far, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck, Keanu Reeves, Ryan Reynolds, John Niedepp, Heath Ledger and others are all candidates. Among them, Heath Ledger is the weakest in popularity, but he just finished filming "Pirates of the Caribbean" with Chen Tiandu, who can say that he has no chance at all.
Johnny Depp did not make it clear that he wanted to play Batman, but he did not say anything to death, which made his fans quite expectant.
Although he has been a Hollywood A-list actor for many years, John Niedepp has always lacked a work that can speak at the box office to solidify his status as a first-line celebrity. Johnny Depp, who has a unique personality, may refuse to play a superhero, but his agent will definitely persuade him not to give up lightly.
Many fans also think that the biggest regret of Depp's acting career is not being able to play Bruce Wayne. Tim Burton didn't get to play Bruce in the "Batman" film series in charge? Wayne/Batman's chance. His fans also posted photos from the set of "Edward Scissorhands" on the forum. Edward's face without facial makeup and Depp's signature expression, paired with dark gothic armor, are exactly the image of Batman in the minds of fans. (To be continued......) I1292
