When the ending music of the third episode of "The Walking Dead" sounded, in the office of the "Holy Elephant" company, Claude looked stunned for a long time, and the shock in his heart echoed for a long time, before he finally turned his head and asked Mel Gibson with his mouth open: "Mel...... What do you think? ”

"Indeed...... Still...... Not bad. Mel Gibson had a complicated expression and nodded very "reluctantly", and he even felt in his heart that this TV series was really no worse than his movie......

"It's just not bad...... Claude sighed a little disappointed, "That means this kid can't pose a threat to the five major TV networks...... Are we just going to let ABC continue to hit us and sit idly by? Alas......"

"Who said to sit still and wait for death~!" Mel Gibson suddenly raised his voice and shouted, glaring at his eyes and shouting: "Just like you said, the pirate company has mastered the evidence of Sony and Fox's manipulation of public opinion, and now the public knows that they use the media to manipulate the evil behavior of public opinion, this is a good opportunity for us to fight back, since the pirate company dares to challenge the five major TV networks head-on, we can't do the same thing?" ”

"Mel, what do you mean?" Claude asked, somewhat excitedly.

"What I mean is very simple, we also issued a statement, indicating that the five major TV networks have always manipulated public opinion, didn't you investigate the revelation website CES that deliberately slandered me, that is, the establishment of ABC Company, we will also issue a statement tomorrow, and also hand over the evidence we have to CNN~!"

"Isn't that too risky, Mel...... We can't work with ABC anymore~" Seeing him so excited, Claude became a little scared.

"Adventure?" Mel Gibson glanced deeply at his agent and said coldly: "Claude, we have been oppressed by the media controlled by those Jews for so many years, and this time it is time to fight back." After saying that, thinking of the grievances that he had been deliberately demonized by the media during this time, he couldn't help but kick down Claude's sofa as if venting.

Claude fell to the ground, and exclaimed excitedly, "I'll do it right away." ”

At this moment, in the conference hall of the Sony Group, Kangfu Dazheng and more than 20 senior officials of the North American region of the group closed their eyes and waited for the results of Zuihou, like prisoners waiting to be sentenced, they did not have the courage to watch the real-time viewing table, but anxiously waited for the results after the broadcast of Zuihou, and wanted to report the final viewership of this episode of "The Walking Dead" from their subordinates, so that they would not have to suffer too much.

If the viewership of "The Walking Dead" is up from the previous episode, even by one percentage point, then it means that they have no need to struggle at all, because the public has already believed the CNN report.

If it doesn't go beyond the last episode, then maybe they still have a chance, as long as they bite and don't admit it, fight a lawsuit with the pirate station, sue them for defamation, and drag it on for a few years, even if the final result comes out, the public will forget about it.

Although they knew that the probability of the latter happening was very low, they still had a glimmer of hope......

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and everyone, including Kangfu Dazheng, focused their eyes on the person who came in, and the thin white employee, whose face was pale, said in a trembling voice:

"The viewer population is out......"

"How much?" Kangfu Dazheng looked at him as calmly as possible, but he had a premonition in his heart.

"15.49 million ......," the employee said slowly.

"Multi-...... How much? Several of the executives in the room instinctively thought they had misheard.

"The Walking Dead" received a total of 15.49 million viewers...... Defeated our station's 15.42 million 10,000 "Two and a Half Heroes" and NBC's 9.78 20 thousand "Prison Break......," the employee said in a trembling voice, helplessly looking at all the people in the room.

This number was repeated again, leaving everyone stunned on the spot, 15.49 million ...... The first in the same period of viewership......

Finally, Eisen Jackson, the gray-haired director of the Propaganda Department, touched his chest, and fell off the bench without blood, several people hurried to help him, and more people leaned on the bench like a deflated ball, Kangfu Dazheng also sighed deeply, glanced at everyone, his eyelids trembled and closed his eyes, he knew that it was all over......

His error in judgment led these people to the point of no return, perhaps from the beginning, he was not supposed to work against the Chinese kid who had been creating miracles...... Maybe if Sony had accepted Li Xiaole with a tolerant attitude at the beginning, the situation would be completely different now, but all this is just "if" now......

The pirate station won, not just won, but won by a big win, starting with a mere rating that never reached the starting line of 100,000 people, and in just a few months, it soared like a rocket, from 6 million viewers...... to 8.5 million, and then to today's 15.49 80,000......

"The Walking Dead" is indeed very good, but it will not be able to sit at this point in such a short period of time based on the quality of the series alone, if it weren't for Sony, Fox has been trying to suppress him, let him seize the handle, and take this opportunity to build momentum, he would never have achieved this achievement.

The times make heroes...... That's what it means.

After this thrilling night, on Tuesday morning, when the major newspapers appeared in the headlines, the number of 15.49 80,000 viewers of "The Walking Dead" came into everyone's eyes, this amazing ratings number, everyone exclaimed "Chinese pirates are coming~!" ”

This small pirate station not only won the first place in the ratings of the same period, but also broke the history of the monopoly of more than 15 million viewers by the five major TV networks.

Fans were obsessed with the series, with almost everyone exclaiming that this was "with this shocking third episode, the 'The Walking Dead' franchise has become a series destined to go down in history." ”

On Yahoo's homepage about "That series is the best show in the fall season this year?" "The Walking Dead" got 126578 of the 176,890 votes, beating the ace dramas of "Prison Break", "Super Hero" and "Two and a Half Heroes" without any suspense, of course, this survey also broke the Yahoo voting record, because Chinese netizens shared this event on major forums for the first time.

Just like Yao Ming, Li Xiaole has also become the pride of the Chinese in the eyes of them, and many Chinese fans have logged on to this English website to vote for "The Walking Dead", but even if the selection from China is aside, "The Walking Dead" is still the most popular among everyone.

Yahoo's film and television editor-in-chief, Hel Jackson, published a long review praising the third episode of The Walking Dead, saying:

"We owe a debt of gratitude to this director from China for making a series that wakes up all North American TV producers.

Now is an impetuous age, every viewer's taste for appreciation is getting heavier and heavier, there are no ethics in the series, there are no traditional values, TV producers have become viewing machines, in order to cater to the audience, they continue to improve the audience's favorite sensory and emotional stimulation.

Housewife affair, alien mystery incident, supernatural liliang, in any theme, it seems that death, betrayal, and hatred are required to be simple and strong storytelling to be loved by the audience, and everyone even directly expresses emotional conflicts and sensory stimulation with pictures, emphasizing all kinds of big scenes, big productions, and bloody and exciting shots to win the favor of the audience.

This is an era when the plot conflict is described too hard, and there is a lack of the calm and ingenious narration of the drama master, without the drama master, there is no control over how the plot should develop, and no one can control the proportions of the story.

I used to think that "The Walking Dead" was also such a series, at least from the first 2 episodes, it seems that it is better than other competitors in this regard.

But I didn't expect that the third episode of "The Walking Dead" completely subverted my point of view, Li Xiaole presented this episode in a completely unexpected way, Moore's one-man show on the balcony, the shocking palm at the end of the film, and the silent picture, bringing people a psychological shock is incomparable.

There is no specific description of the gore, and there is no cruelty to make the audience face the chilling details, but the ending is beyond everyone's imagination.

People in the industry probably know that Michael Rooker, who plays Moore, is a veteran actor, but his disadvantage is that he acts too hard and likes to yell, whether it is in "The Star Files" or "Law and Order", his performance is lacking.

But under Li Xiaole's control, he performed the best three minutes of his acting career in a manic and restrained way, enough to make him go down in the history of American TV dramas, and if his role can be a little longer, then this year's Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor will be no suspense.

What surprised me even more was that I don't know if Li Xiaole had professional training in painting and photography, but in a shot in Zuihou, the silent movement of hacksaws, palms, and handcuffs is indeed wonderful, in a high-paced American drama where a shot is switched every 3 seconds, it definitely takes courage to use a long shot with no lines, no characters, and even subtitles for nearly 20 seconds, but the result brings an extremely strong sense of impact.

It's like when a person suddenly stops after a rapid run and looks at the scenery around him as if it is still, and that kind of sensory and emotional condensation is a kind of shocking effect that can only be created by a theater master......
