"It seems that the money we make on ibox alone should be enough to cover all the funds in the later stage of the film and television base." Li Xiaole happily smiled at Lei Ting on the phone: "Maybe I should build a TV factory in China," Lei Ting sneered: "Well, but you have to go through the approval process for a few years first." ”

Just as Jobs was debating with Apple's directors whether to put a 2-minute or 5-minute iBox ad slot on TV next week, the box office results of the iBox on the fourth day once again surprised their jaws. Apple received a jaw-dropping sales report, in 152 Apple retail stores in the United States, ibox sold a full 159,000 units in a day, even Li Xiaole heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned, and sighed in his heart: "No......"

Apple's chairman Ya'an, designer Jonathan, and even Jobs' rival Tim Cook...... Everyone was stunned, this sales result was completely beyond their imagination, and this skyrocketing sales performance showed that the series "Shooting the Condor" began to drive people's enthusiasm for 3D TV to heat up.

Apple, which has recovered all the R&D costs of the ibox project and has begun to make a profit, has watched the "Condor" craze begin to heat up, which has rapidly driven the sales of ibox, and now the whole company even Cook, who has always wanted to replace Jobs, has to admit that Apple has really picked up a treasure this time! At the meeting, the company's management unanimously agreed to increase the number of ibox commercials on major TV stations to 12 minutes next week, and reshoot the latest commercials to include the footage of "Shooting the Condor".

For this advertisement, TVB summoned Hong Kong stars, let them wear Condor costumes, and spent two days to shoot a large commercial, this kind of multi-person advertising used to only appear in Pepsi, Coca-Cola, a beverage brand, and this time due to "Condor Fighting", and "Fruit Hero" swept the United States, Hong Kong stars have also become familiar faces to everyone.

The day before the third and fourth episodes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were released in North America, this advertisement began to be overwhelmingly placed on various TV stations, station billboards, magazines, and newspapers, and Apple's propaganda department began to show its strength at full power.

And the four major TV networks have no choice, although they can not report the news of "Shooting the Condor", but they have no way to stop the advertising of Apple, which has a contract with them, so they have to let "Shooting the Condor" and ibox be overwhelmingly bound and promoted.

And "Shooting the Condor" also ushered in the second wave of blowouts as a matter of course, and the ratings of the third and fourth episodes made a leap, from an average of more than 6 million to 9.23 million, which not only exceeded the life and death line of the average 800 viewers, but also created the largest single-week viewership increase in American dramas this year~~

Those advertising companies have also fallen into a frenzy, watching this momentum "Condor Shooting" is likely to reproduce the contrarian upward trend of "The Walking Dead", companies are not only companies from the United States who want to sign a contract with Pirate TV, and even various Chinese brands have begun to actively contact Black Pearl in order to open the North American market, Huawei, Skyworth, Li Ning and other large enterprises have turned their attention to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and now there is a work better than this series to promote Chinese brands in the North American market?

And the blowout is still continuing, Apple's best advertising expenses, sending feedback from various users to its official website to build momentum, and cooperating with the "scared heart attack by 3D" incident, launching a new theory of ibox.

Now all Apple users, there is no one who does not know about this: "Watch ibox get scared heart attack and win the opportunity to travel to Hawaii." "To comfort the heart attack user, Jobs had lunch with him."

This caused a strange trend, after the third and fourth episodes of Condor Shooting were broadcast, all over the United States, there were various incidents of watching "Condor Shooting" and being "scared to heart attack", "paralyzed" and "scared to break legs", hospitals around the country accepted a lot of such patients, but after verification, almost all of them were "pretending to be sick", which made the emergency departments of hospitals in various states cry and laugh.

Even CNN's evening news report also paid attention to this incident that broke out across the United States, and the black female reporter in the camera took the microphone and said: "You can see that in a state hospital in Ohio, there is a long queue in front of the emergency room, some of which are car accidents, some are drunk accidents, and more are injured people who watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"~~"

In the camera, I saw dozens of people in front of the emergency room, many of them were groups of young people, all of them looking down at their mobile phones, or snickering and chatting, not caring about the injured people around them.

The female reporter walked a few steps, called out to a white boy who had just come of age, pointed the microphone at him, and asked, "Hello, are you here to bring a friend to the hospital?" ”

The boy was visibly nervous and stammered, "Yes...... I don't know, he just watched TV and suddenly collapsed...... He said that the 3D footage in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was too scary ^"

"Does he have a history of heart disease, or epilepsy?" The female reporter asked.

"No...... I do not know. The white boy's face was flushed, and finally he couldn't help jumping up and turning around and running, shouting as he ran: "Jack~!" Run, goof~! Let your parents know, we're miserable~! At this time, I saw that the young man who was still calling "oops" just now jumped up and ran out of the corridor of the emergency room with a smoke.

The program director cut the picture back to the live broadcast room, and the anchor shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's listen to the opinions of the hospital and the police on this." ”

As soon as the screen turned, the interview video of a white middle-aged male doctor was cut, and the person said helplessly and angrily with a magical face: "The past two days are simply ridiculous, more than 20 people have come to the hospital to claim that they were scared or injured by the 3D picture on the way to watch TV...... And after our inspection, there is no such thing at all, I don't understand, any organization would be so boring to waste the medical resources of our public hospitals...... Perhaps this is the Republican Party's protest against Obama's election claim to promote universal health care. ”

The camera shifted to an interview with a Chinese police officer, who said helplessly: "We investigated the incident, and this is not actually a prank by a political organization, but purely a farce staged by a group of whimsical Apple fans in order to get a chance to eat with Jobs...... Some of them even hammer their own hearts in the hope of having an irregular heartbeat...... This is simply ridiculous. ”

Of course, CNN did not deliberately advertise "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but reported that during this period of time, a ridiculous social event occurred in the United States, and fruit fans pretended to be sick in order to eat with the god Jobs in their hearts - "Condor Syndrome".

This new term soon became one of the mental illnesses known as "school-opening syndrome" in which children are averse to school, and refers to "the act of pretending to be injured or sick in the hospital in order to receive compensation from the relevant company." ”

This social event has made people who only pay attention to the livelihood of the society and don't like to watch TV begin to know the name of this series, and they are all surprised that what is the magic of a TV series that can make so many people frightened and "hospitalized".

With the outbreak of "Condor Syndrome" in the United States, the media knew what was going on, but they all laughed and shook their heads...... Eating with Jobs? Warren Buffett's dinner is also worth millions of dollars, how can Jobs eat with users casually, all this is just publicity, even if anyone is "scared", Jobs will not be able to come forward again, otherwise he will have to have dinner with his fans all year round.

CBS also spared no effort to denounce this phenomenon in related news reports, and they interviewed a head of Microsoft's propaganda department, who shamelessly said: "Jobs is willing to eat with fans? No~~ This is absolutely impossible, all this is just propaganda, if it weren't for the hype of his own products, a mean person like him would not be so kind at all~ It's all just hype, or the original heart attack was arranged by Jobs, I really know Apple's methods too well. ”

Reporters have found Apple employees and confirmed that Jobs is going back to Boston for a series of treatment programs and will not have time to have dinner with fans at all.

The evidence is conclusive, and the CBS interview also disappointed Apple fans, and at the same time, Microsoft officially announced that they will be running a series of promotions for its console XBOX, one of which is to draw one of the XBOX buyers every week to have lunch with Microsoft President Bill Gates.

Although Microsoft's official news is a bit suspicious of following the trend, it is obviously much more upright than Apple's tricks, but in any case, after the "Condor Syndrome" swept the United States, the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has surpassed all the dramas and has begun to become a topic of conversation after dinner.

IBOX HAD AN EXPLOSIVE SALES INCREASE TWO WEEKS AFTER THE BROADCAST OF "THE LEGEND OF THE CONDOR HEROES", AND SOLD 1.2 MILLION IN JUST ONE WEEK, CREATING THE HIGHEST WEEKLY SALES OF APPLE PRODUCTS SO FAR.

In the third week of the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", after the fifth and sixth episodes were broadcast, the ratings made everyone stunned again, with a maximum of 19.87 million viewers, and an average viewership of 15.37 million in the sixth episode...... The ratings have nearly doubled from last week......

Not only did it set a three-week increase in drama ratings in the history of American dramas, but it also pulled down CBS's two aces, "CSI" and "The Big Bang Theory", becoming the No. 1 ratings in the same period!
