Chapter Twenty-Three: The American Dream

The 911 scandal has only ended for a month, and the name Link is not unfamiliar to everyone, he was the first to report on 911, and then ended 911 with his own hands, kicking off this year's 'broadcast season'.

And this time, "The Big Bang Theory" topped the fourth place on the 'profit list', with a difference of $200,000, and the profit of a single episode was second only to ABC's "Funny Family".

However, what is the order price of a single episode of "Funny Family", $3.5 million! It can be said that it is star-studded!

The order price of a single episode of "The Big Bang Theory" is only 50,000 US dollars, and among the five main creators, only two people are slightly famous, and the other three people can't check the previous screen records at all, that is to say, these three characters are all complete newcomers.

The five unknown 'little people' actually beat the star lineup of "Funny Family", and the highest ratings of the sixth episode broke through the 9.51 million mark, which is even one million higher than the ratings of the third episode of "Funny Family".

If it weren't for the low average ratings of "The Big Bang Theory", I'm afraid that the "top four ratings" would not be the turn of ABC TV's "Funny Family".

Today's commercialization of American dramas is extremely serious, so it has also caused the value of 'big-name stars' to rise. At the beginning of the filming of the eighth season of "Friends", several main creative actors asked to continue to increase their salaries. Therefore, when the eighth season of "Friends" was broadcast, the value of several main creative characters Sè had reached $1 million per person.

Stars represent ratings, especially in veteran American dramas, and they dare not easily change their roles, for fear that the audience will have the slightest 'discomfort'.

But Link broke a law, the five main creative characters in "The Big Bang Theory" are only worth $10,000 at the highest, and the order price for each episode is only $50,000.

And the actor's salary accounts for about half.

Due to the astonishing profitability of The Big Bang Theory, the New York Times ran the headline straight ahead with the headline 'The Most Profitable American Drama, Not One of Them!' A staggering 60 times more profit per episode! ’

The Los Angeles Times also made headlines: "A new model of American drama profits, launching newcomers? ”

Almost overnight, major media outlets began to dig deep into the 'mystery of life experience' of the five main creators of "The Big Bang Theory".

With the phenomenal ratings of the fifth episode of "The Big Bang Theory", the exposure of Jim Parsons and five others has also continued to rise, and Milla Jovovich has appeared on the cover of "Vogue" magazine.

Because Mira played the role of 'Penny' in "The Big Bang Theory", her popularity soared quickly. The latest issue of Vogue magazine was sold out just after it went on the market, which also made the top management of Vogue magazine make a lot of money, and urgently printed 500,000 copies to contain the momentum.

And the most popular is not Mila, but Jim Parsons, who plays the role of 'Sheldon Cooper', because of his appearance in the show, his popularity is close to that of an A-list TV star, and the number of fans is expected to exceed 5 million. And Jim is also affectionately called 'Xie Er' by fans, which shows how many sès he has in "The Big Bang Theory".

The American Television News announced an exclusive interview with Jim Parsons, and when the reporter asked, "Who do you want to thank the most at this moment?" ”

Jim Parsons said without hesitation: "Of course, I want to thank Mr. Link, when I was just a waiter in a café, one day suddenly someone came to me and asked me to star in a sitcom." You know, I always dreamed of being a stage actor, but I wasn't famous at all, and I even suspected him of being a liar. ”

Reporter: "That guy is Link?" ”

"That's right, it's Mr. Link." Recalling his difficult life, Jim Parsons excitedly says, "When I knew it was all true, I couldn't believe it!" It wasn't until I auditioned and got the role of Sheldon Cooper that I was completely convinced that everything was real, that I was going to be on TV, that I was going to be a big star. Thank God, oh no, thank you Mr. Link, thank you Fahrenheit Media, and last but not least, CAA TV. They are the ones who have made me where I am today. ”

When this interview ended, "American Television" concluded at the end: This is not only the arduous journey of a sitcom to climb the ratings list step by step, but also the road of a few ordinary ordinary people who are approaching the spotlight step by step. This is another true manifestation of the 'American Dream'!

The interview was a great success, not only selling more than 5 million copies on its launch, bringing sales back to the first-line level, but also sparking another national debate about the "American Dream" in the United States.

The well-known media person 'Haimer' even bluntly wrote: "Since the 'Mayflower' came to the Americas, the 'American Dream' has been the deepest expectation of all immigrants. When Martin Luther King wrote about him in "I Have a Dream", it dawned on everyone that the "American Dream" also had its specific meaning. Today, we once again see the 'American Dream' really appear around us, and "The Big Bang Theory" is the best embodiment, he not only became popular with five ordinary people, but also created a legend in the history of American dramas! ”

In just one week, the topic extended by "The Big Bang Theory" has been endless, and the emergence of the "American Dream" has excited countless teenagers. Those who have not watched "The Big Bang Theory", from this moment on, all want to witness the demeanor of this magical American drama.

When the last Friday of October came, the seventh episode of "The Big Bang Theory" officially began.

Countless families waited in front of the TV early, and countless teenagers frantically fought for the 'right to possess' the TV.

"All I need is half an hour, half an hour!"

Millions of teenagers say the same thing to their parents.

When the eight o'clock clock officially came, countless hearts of anticipation, excitement, or doubt were all quiet for a moment. But only a moment later, the laughter came again, and it didn't stop for a long time......

At Link's house, several people gather again to watch the TV broadcast of "The Big Bang Theory", and after a few seconds, Link finally can't hold back anymore and complains loudly.

"Mira, you're so deceitful, look at my face, what are these?"

Link angrily pointed to the popcorn grains on his face and expressed his strong displeasure at Mira.

Mira blinked innocently and reached out to hand over an empty bucket of popcorn.

As if to say, no, I still want it.

Link couldn't stand Mira's eyes, so he could only cough dryly twice, and hurriedly took a bucket of unopened popcorn and handed it to her.

It didn't take long for Mira to burst into tears when she laughed again: "Poof...... Oh ha...... I'm laughing at me......"
