Now in the autumn evening prime time, the six major public channels have different episodes.

In CBS TV, there are a lot of joys and a lot of sorrows, it should be the day when "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" makes fans applaud, but most of the new dramas make the audience can't love them, and the high hopes of "Two and a Half Heroes" and "Criminal Minds" have hit the streets one after another. Several dramas only occupy a mid-stream position, and even the previous ace "Naval Investigation Service" has suffered a flood of bad reviews this year, resulting in a rapid loss of adult audiences, and if it can't be saved quickly, the next season will face the problem of whether to renew or not.

In addition, Nielsen data shows that most of the returning episodes saw double-digit percentage declines in viewership. As a result, the number of TV viewers aged 18 to 49 in the United States fell by 8% compared to a year earlier.

In this money-grabbing juncture, with millions of dollars losing for every 1 point in viewership, a TV network is desperate for a new drama to take over. And Hu Yifei's "Prison Break" was put on the top cylinder in this environment.

On September 20, night fell on the United States.

After a fun and leisure weekend, on Monday nights of the new week, as in the golden autumn season, countless students who have been in school for a long time and office workers who have been working for a long time have returned to the comfort of their homes. Whether you're a bachelor or a family, the TV is one of the best entertainment pastimes for anyone at home, with a variety of exciting dramas and exciting ball games to accompany them to spend a pleasant evening.

It is getting closer and closer to 21:00 when "Prison Break" is broadcast, Hu Yifei is sitting in the hotel room, he doesn't watch the TV in the living room, but turns on the computer and means that Rufei is typing on the keyboard, and he is perfecting the script.

Hu Yifei is still not watching, but there are thousands of viewers in front of the TV.

This is the case with Elinda's family in Hawaii, Rhoda is sitting in front of the TV watching CBS at this time, but her mother Charina wants to change the channel, "Why watch CBS, shouldn't you watch NBC on Monday?" ”

Luo Da was anxious, "NO, it's different today, CBS is going to release a new drama, and it seems good to watch the trailer." And the Internet said that this drama is very cool, and I made an appointment with my classmates to watch this drama. Otherwise, I won't have to talk about going to school tomorrow. ”

Xia Lina said: "It was a Chinese TV series, and if CBS wasn't crazy, I believe not many people would watch it." ”

Elinda said: "I want to see if a Chinese TV series can be broadcast on CBS, there must be something special." ”

The father said, "OK, vote now, watch CBS or NBC, CBS raise your hand." When the words fell, his two hands were raised, and he smiled: "Okay, I abstain, let's watch CBS first today." If it doesn't look good, it's not too late to change the channel. Rhoda? ”

"No comment."

Rhoda grabbed the remote control as he wished, looked at the TV screen in front of him, and shouted violently: "Look, the trailer is here, isn't it particularly cool!" ”

The volume was quickly increased, and with the tense soundtrack, the trailer of "Prison Break" was playing on the CBS channel on TV, with a few "bang, bang, bang", Mi Shuai, who was dressed in a suit, held a pistol with both hands and pulled the trigger, and the bank hall was immediately exclaimed, and employees and customers were panicked or squatted down with their heads in their hands, or stood still......

Several quick-cut shots kept switching, explaining the general stalk of the story, and there were a lot of close-ups of Hu Yifei. Especially the shots of bare backs and bare tops. Every time the camera falls here, it causes a burst of sideways glances from young viewers. Tattoo culture is popular in the United States, but no one has ever tattooed their whole body to escape from prison like the main character on TV, "Isn't that cool?" ”

Scarlett also rarely sits at home and watches TV, she actually has a lot of family, and she still remembers the scene of four or five children chasing and fighting when she was a child. It's a pity that as everyone grows up, they rarely go home. This time when she went home, she couldn't see anyone, she could only hold the old cat who couldn't walk quickly and watched TV boringly. Constant tune-up, boring, boring, still boring. Suddenly, on CBS TV, a picture flashed, and she quickly tuned to another station.

Then the action suddenly paused, and he turned back suspiciously, "Hu Yifei?" ”

Since that night, she has not contacted the man who brought her a strong shock and stimulation, and the next day she actually thought about taking the initiative to contact her, but a work delay did not make the trip. Later, I gradually forgot it, I thought that both sides were in the past, but I didn't expect that now as soon as I see each other's cameras, I immediately remember the crazy, ashamed, and screaming scenes of that night.

I was a little complicated and a little curious: "Really? He even has a TV series broadcast in the United States? ”

On the Internet's drama forums, entertainment websites and other places, viewers who have occasionally watched or heard it before are naturally looking forward to this drama, and the discussion has not yet started, and the stills and pictures of the actors led by Hu Yifei and Fan Binbin are also widely circulated. The topics discussed varied, but there was one question that almost all fans of the series were concerned about, and CBS TV stations were concerned about, whether "Prison Break" could be up to the task, and what kind of ratings would it have?

This is the first time that someone in the American television network has introduced a Chinese TV series to start broadcasting, and it is scheduled to be broadcast in the golden September.

Although Hu Yifei didn't watch TV, he was also uneasy.

The original "Prison Break" debuted on Fox-Network (Fox Broadcasting) on August 29, 2005, and the average viewership of the first episode was about 10.5 million, setting the highest Monday viewership number for Fox since September 1998. But because the plot did not go up but declined in the later part of the first season, this is also because the unreasonable defects in the later season began to be highlighted, and the audience naturally became fewer and fewer. The final average ratings weren't higher than the premiere. But that was in 2005, and it wasn't broadcast on Mondays, but on Thursdays. Now it's 2004, "Lost" hasn't appeared on the market yet, and the audience urgently needs a cool drama to fill the gap in the market.

And Hu Yifei's version of "Prison Break", he is confident that the plot is very full and there will be no problems such as the decline of the plot in the later stage, but there is also a more thorny problem in front of him. That is their Chinese identity, whether the filming of this drama will be accepted by American audiences. No one can say for sure. So he doesn't know how many ratings he can get on CBS in the end.

American TV dramas are very mature, different from China, any thunder drama can have good ratings, and any bad drama will have good ratings as long as it is promoted a lot. In the United States, it is not a simple matter to want high ratings.

It is necessary to clarify the market positioning and form hardcore fans for a large audience. Sitcoms, detectives, doctors, lawyers and other themes have the advantage that they are suitable for all ages and are suitable for families to watch; And youth idol dramas, or cool dramas like "Lost" and "Crime Scene Investigation", must attract the attention of young people, housewives like to watch "Desire-Hope City", but "Prison Break" needs the support of young people, so Hu Yifei's tattoo is so important.

On the Chinese Internet, netizens are also looking forward to the launch of "Prison Break", which can be said to be highly anticipated. Many domestic media are paying attention to the premiere of "Prison Break", can the domestic drama go out and still have the same fun?

Faced with this problem, it is estimated that the vast majority of netizens expect "Prison Break" to achieve good results. This is a question related to the face of national dramas, and it must not be sloppy.

At 21 o'clock, "Prison Break" started as scheduled. (To be continued.) )
