This year, "The Big Bang Theory" officially returned on January 20 and is still scheduled to air on Friday at 8 p.m. in prime time.

After ABC TV won the replay rights of "The Big Bang Theory", it was launched two weeks ago, and the average viewership remained at about 10 million people, which finally made ABC TV executives breathe a sigh of relief.

In the first half of the broadcast season, the American dramas launched by ABC TV were almost wiped out. "Funny Family" also officially announced that it was cut after the last episode of the first half of the season and would not be renewed for future episodes.

CW, which is eyeing ABC's status, has also won the rights to replay "CSI/CSI" for $1.6 million per episode. The replay ratings of each episode also remained at around 10 million people.

Poor Bobs, after being pitted by Link, was scolded by the ABC higher-ups. Removed Bobbs from his position as vice president and retained only his position as head of the information department.

Despite Bobbs's vigorous protests and explanations, the board voted to remove him, and who let his idiots win the rights to replay "The Big Bang Theory" for $2.5 million per episode?

While The Big Bang Theory reruns performed well in ratings, the $2.5 million price tag was too high. Compared with the replay rights of "CSI", which also has nearly 10 million ratings, CW only spent $1.6 million per episode to get it, which is too big a gap.

Bobbs hated Link to death, but now he could no longer pose a threat to Link, without the position of vice president, his status on ABC TV had plummeted, and he could barely get out of the news department.

And when the first episode of "The Big Bang Theory" started airing this year, people who had been anxiously waiting for two months finally had a reason to laugh again.

After a few months away from The Big Bang Theory, its return has left loyal fans excited, including Johnny.

Johnny pulls his father, Pock, and sits in front of the TV waiting for "The Big Bang Theory" to start. He's been sitting there since after work and has been waiting until now.

"God, I hope that shot wasn't cut."

Johnny sat on the sofa with a heavy heart, and Pock on the side took Volga and kept pouring two sips. He has been excited for hours after learning that his son Johnny personally directed a scene.

Neither father nor son spoke, and in a dull atmosphere, the ninth episode of "The Big Bang Theory" finally started.

When the familiar music plays, everyone who watches in will laugh heartily.

Link and Mila were close together, and Jim and Richie were too interested to make light bulbs.

When he saw the opening song playing on the TV, Link said expressionlessly, "Don't eat popcorn." ”

Mira just wanted to reach for the popcorn bucket, but when she heard Link's words, she could only nod aggrievedly: "Oh." ”

"Don't drink Coke either."

Mira withdrew her palm again, sullenly leaning on Link's shoulder.

Seeing her unhappy expression, Link was also a little embarrassed.

"Actually, you can take one bite, but only one small bite."

Mira's eyes suddenly lit up, and she kissed Link on the face fiercely: "Honey, I know." ”

And then......

"Oh ha...... Burst...... I'm laughing to death......"

Link wiped his face silently, and suddenly remembered Uncle Wu in Chinatown, when he was angry, he would often say, 'I believe in you'!

He felt that this sentence full of Chinese flavor could express his current mood very well.

And Johnny and Polke, father and son, who are also in a complicated mood, especially Polke, just staring at the camera, even the very funny lines have made him notice, and he keeps asking: "Is this the shot...... So is this one...... which one is being filmed? ”

After being denied by Johnny a dozen times, Pock is also furious.

And Johnny didn't feel good, seeing that the broadcast of the ninth episode was about to end, and the scene he directed hadn't even appeared.

"Was it really cut out? Alas, I'm afraid that's really the case. ”

Seeing his son's lost expression, Poke couldn't bear to hit him, so he took Volga and poured a few more sips.

Suddenly, Johnny's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly: "That's it, Dad, look, it's just a shot." I directed the shot, it wasn't cut out, and oh my god, I was so happy. ”

Poke hurriedly threw away the Volga in his hand, looked at it attentively, and after a while began to laugh: "Hahaha...... It's hilarious. ”

It was as if it was only at this point that Polk discovered that The Big Bang Theory was really that funny.

In the following weeks, new episodes began to be released again, and the old episodes still dominated the ratings. These include NBC's Friends season eight, CBS's CSI/CSI, and CAA's The Big Bang Theory.

In the past few weeks, these three most popular dramas have continued to refresh the highest ratings, and you have staged a grand ratings battle after me.

Just three weeks later, the three series returned to the peak of 20 million viewers. And at this time, Link also announced his new shooting plan.

Almost instantly, the entire media world was turned upside down by Link.

"Link is going to make a new American drama again? What the? It turned out to be a horror series? ”

Everyone almost always had that look of surprise when they heard that Link was going to shoot "The Walking Dead".

And Fahrenheit Media also released some information about the new series, which was exclusively disclosed to American Television News.

And "American Television" also tasted the biggest sweetness of 'getting close to Link', and Link actually sent them such a blockbuster news.

But the American Television News didn't disappoint Link, with a vivid picture of the new series.

And after seeing the article published in the latest issue of American Television News, fans of "The Big Bang Theory" were immediately divided into two factions.

One group is very positive about Link's innovation, while the other group accounts for the majority, and they are disappointed that Link did not continue to shoot sitcoms.

The second half of the broadcast of "The Big Bang Theory" is still in full swing, but many fans have begun to leave messages on Fahrenheit Media's official website, asking Link to give up the idea of filming "The Walking Dead".

And the media industry is even more vigorous about this matter, almost one-sidedly began to bombard Link for 'not knowing how to lift'.

The Los Angeles Times criticized Link: "It's a suicidal act, and so far, horror films have only had a successful precedent in movies, and the horror series in American dramas has been dead for 10,000 years." ”

At the same time, the New York Times also published an editorial: "Is Link already bursting with confidence? After the huge success of "The Big Bang Theory", he did not continue to chase after the victory and launch several blockbuster romance comedies again, but chose to slide into the abyss of the "horror series of American dramas"! ”

And the overseas media are also keen to discuss things about Link, because "The Big Bang Theory" has already been released in many places overseas, including many countries that are not English-speaking.

Among them, Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" has a high sales volume in the Chinese world, and Link, the newly rising 'dark horse of Chinese TV media in the United States', has been reported for a long time, and many Hong Kong people are no strangers to Link, and "The Big Bang Theory" has also been broadcast on Hong Kong TVB.

The South China Morning Post is much more moderate in its attitude towards a 'TV media mogul' among the Chinese. But the media in areas where there is also a Chinese majority, such as Singapore, are not optimistic about Link's approach.

The Singapore Morning Post was much more intense, with an editorial noting: "It's very exciting to see the emergence of an 'upstart in American television media' in the Chinese world." But Link's current approach is looking for death! Since you are in the United States, you should follow the mainstream of the American craze, and you should not shoot something like "The Walking Dead" that no one watches. ”

And the media criticism is not unreasonable, horror films only have a horror atmosphere in the cinema, this is simply an 'iron law'.

The reason why horror movies are scary, the atmosphere is a very important thing, because horror is contagious.

When a large number of audiences sit in a screening room to watch a horror movie, the screams of one person will drive the horror nerves of most people, and the 'horror coefficient' of the human body will also accelerate the rise, which involves a topic of psychology.

Of course, if the horror American drama is filmed well, buy a set of discs and secretly watch it at home with the lights off, and there is also a very scary atmosphere.

However, the key is that "The Walking Dead", which Link is preparing to film, is an American drama broadcast on TV stations, and the weekly quality of American dramas makes it impossible for it to continuously bring horror to the audience.

In the long run, the audience will choose to give up.

And Link didn't expect things to turn out like this, he just planned to let out some wind first and see the reaction of the critics and the audience, but he didn't expect the reaction to be so intense!
