Chapter 368: Deeply fascinating
The subtitles flashed on the TV screen, Clattenberg took the remote control, turned off the TV, but the person sat here and didn't move, the picture of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" that he had just watched kept flashing through his mind, like a top red wine, sweet and mellow, which made people have an endless aftertaste, and he couldn't forget it for a long time, and he couldn't wait to keep drinking, watching, and never waking up again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's a pity that this sweet and mellow enjoyment can't continue in a short time, and the new episode I want to see will have to wait until next Friday night at the earliest.
Clattenberg couldn't help but complain a little, this must have been waiting too long!
"Damn the way the TV series is played!" He cursed in a low voice, "Which immoral ghost invented this weekly episode playback?" He should be sent to hell! ”
The only thing to be thankful for is that tonight at 11 o'clock and tomorrow during the day, there will be a rerun of the first episode of A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones, and he can continue to watch it, slowly, carefully, and slowly savoring it in small bites.
When you have a DVD, you can buy it back and collect it.
"Hey, Gail, Murphy did a great job!"
In the UCLA film club, many people came to Gal Gadot's side and congratulated him, "I can't imagine that Murphy can make a TV series an epic movie!" ”
"This episode alone will kill Oliver Stone's "Alexander the Great" and Ridley Scott's "Heavenly Dynasty!"
"Brutal, bloody, it's totally my thing! Gail, help me say thank you to Murphy. ”
In the face of these people, Gal Gadot responded with a smile and kept saying "thank you", and their praise for Murphy reached her ears, which was even more moving than the most beautiful music.
Even in her eyes, she really can't see what makes this series so good.
After dealing with his classmates in the film club, Gal Gadot walked out of the small building and prepared to go back to the dormitory, but thinking of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" that he had just watched, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Murphy first, and after seeing Murphy's reply, he dialed his number.
"Hi dear." She walked slowly along the path, "It's me, I just watched A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones." ”
"How does it feel?" Murphy over there asked.
"Everyone around me thinks it's good." Gal Gadot said honestly, "But I don't see anything good. ”
She then asked, "Are the ratings statistical?" ”
"Not bad." The voice coming out of the earpiece seemed pleasant, "At the peak of the first episode, there were about 3.9 million viewers. ”
probably knew that she didn't know very well, and Murphy over there explained a few more words, "This is the best grade in the new drama launched on the cable station." ”
"That's good." Gal Gadot faintly heard someone talking to Murphy over there, and knew that he still had work to do, so he hurriedly said, "Let's do this first, I'm back to the dormitory, don't be too late, go home early to rest, don't let me worry." ”
Hearing a heavy response from the other side, Gal Gadot hung up the phone.
Judging from the reactions of those around her and the data Murphy said, she knew very well that the first episode of A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones was a great success.
Gal Gadot looked at the bright stars in the sky and muttered to himself, "The only thing that can't be sure is word of mouth." ”
Before, the ghostly Margot Robbie introduced her that the first episode of the TV series had high ratings, which shows that the director and actors have strong appeal, and the publicity and marketing work is good enough, but if the audience's reputation is not good, it will soon be revealed.
The movies directed by Murphy are all synonymous with high reputation, and TV series will not be an exception, right?
It's not just Gal Gadot who thinks this way, but also most of the people in the discussion group chat group that Daisy sees when she turns on the computer.
"Sure enough, it's produced by Murphy Stanton, it's very yellow and violent, decapitated in two places, naked. There are three places in the body, there are many characters in the first episode, the amount of information is huge, the brain is almost insufficient, violent and explicit, a bull fork with a capital letter. ”
As soon as she entered the chat group on social software, Daisy saw such a message.
"The dead deer represents the king, and the she-wolf dies leaving behind 6 cubs, indicating that Ned has been killed and leaves 6 children...... Murphy's foreshadowing was buried early, and winter is coming. ”
Probably after watching the TV series, more and more people in the discussion group returned to the chat group and expressed their opinions.
"A shocking sense of epicness, is there any!"
"Beyond expectations, four simple words speak louder than any good words."
"The details are so exquisite, so delicate that they don't really look real."
There was also a kind reminder, "The screenwriter and the details are incomparable!" However, judging from the speed of the first episode, each episode is very informative, and those who haven't read the book should be patient. ”
Of course, this is Murphy's fan support group, and all kinds of praise are sprinkled out as if they don't want money.
"The epic first episode that meets all needs, to have a beautiful woman with a naked Jessica Alba, to have an uncle with a 10,000-year suffering Sean Bing, to have a masochistic and sadomasochistic, to have a heavy taste, to have a ghost, to have a zombie, to have a conspiracy...... Murphy Stanton said, you have everything you want. ”
"Not to mention the excellent production, perhaps the biggest significance of this episode is that Murphy has shown a way to survive to the big family of magic-themed film and television dramas that are now declining, and the big scenes of magic monsters are all floating clouds, a moving story, a group of characters with distinct and plump personalities, and a hazy but complete worldview, is the king."
"After watching the first episode, it's very good. Although it doesn't feel like a fantasy adaptation, it feels a lot like a medieval European knight's work, but the first episode has already planted many fantasy seeds that will take root in the next few episodes. ”
After reading so much, Daisy nodded slightly, closed the chat group, opened the IMDB webpage, found the entry for "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", and clicked on it.
Although the first episode has just aired, there are already hundreds of people rating it here, and the ones who can rate it are undoubtedly Murphy's staunch supporters, who have all given super high ratings, with an average score of 9.5.
As Murphy Stanton's discussion group leader in the IMDB section, Daisy will naturally make her mark here.
She thought back to the episode she had just watched and quickly left a comment.
"When I first watched it, I really didn't expect the scale of the first episode to be so big, and I saw so many bare-ass men and women on the TV screen, especially Jessica Alba of ****, which was still a little uncomfortable."
"But after watching the first episode, this discomfort has completely disappeared, but there is a very amazing feeling, although the multi-view linear time narrative is a bit confusing at first, but as the plot deepens, you will find that the plot is meticulous and interlocking, and it is thrilling, tense, and fantastic, and the huge worldview structure is quite fascinating, especially the first shot of the Great Wall in the north is shocking!"
"What's so great about the first episode of the series is that Murphy brings out the epic heaviness and painting-like texture of the original book - a texture that is different from the intensity and wanton of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but is gloomy and deep, mysterious, and deeply fascinating......"
As a brain-dead fan of Murphy, Daisy did not hesitate to give the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" a perfect score of 10.
There are many more people like her.
The most basic audience of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", in addition to the readers of the original book, is the largest number of Murphy's supporters, and the number of these people is comparable to that of fans of the original book.
And unlike many fans of the original book who are reluctant to buy Fox Cable TV services and quietly wait for the DVD to be released, Murphy's supporters are more enthusiastic to join the Fox Cable TV customer group, so that they can see the latest works of their favorite directors as soon as possible.
Times have changed, and the film industry has developed to the present, and no one can underestimate and ignore the influence and appeal that a well-known director can lead.
In particular, this director is not only young, but also has an extremely strong personal style.
The successful and effective publicity and marketing in the early stage, the presence of a certain number of original readers, and the appeal of the director and actors have all contributed to the good results of the premiere of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones".
At eleven o'clock that night, people like Daisy and Clattenberg did not go to sleep or go out, but continued to stay in front of the TV, waiting for the replay of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones."
The replay stats were equally encouraging, with data transmitted to the Santa Monica Murphy residence at midnight, and the eleven o'clock replay once again contributing to nearly 1.9 million viewers for A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones.
This is a very remarkable proportion in the reruns of all TV dramas, including public stations.
By daytime the next day, Fox Radio had a second rerun, which was not as popular as the first one, but it attracted more than 1.2 million viewers.
So far, the total number of viewers of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" has exceeded the 7 million mark.
Such a result has surpassed the data of the same period when the first episode of HBO's classic series "Band of Brothers" was broadcast, and it is definitely a super eye-catching existence.
But the media did not send praise for the first time, and most critics did not trigger it, after all, this is the first episode of the series, and the influence of the original work, publicity and personal appeal is too obvious, and the plot has just unfolded, and it can't explain too many problems.
Although a great start is often half the battle, just like many Hollywood movies, a good start can be followed by a-like plot development.
It was clear to everyone that if we really had to evaluate the series realistically, we would have to wait for more episodes to be released later. (To be continued.) )
