Judging from the ranking alone, such a battle situation is undoubtedly very much in line with general expectations, in the first camp with a small difference in the number of viewers between each other, "Dr. House", which is in third place, has successfully achieved a comeback, "The Big Bang Theory" continues to soar without any suspense, and "Hero" is once again at the bottom of several top-ranked old dramas.

However, when it comes to the specific number of viewers, the results are obviously somewhat unexpected, the viewership of "Dr. House" has increased by as much as 19% compared with the premiere of the fifth season last year, which can be described as a strong return, and "Two and a Half Heroes" may be due to the fact that "Unexpected Joy" is not as good as "The Big Bang Theory" in the same period last year, and fell by 15%, between this rise and fall, "Two and a Half Heroes", which had more than 1 million more viewers in the premiere last year, was nearly 4 million less.

At the same time, although "The Big Bang Theory" is expected to soar in ratings, its increase is still amazing, according to the current situation, "The Big Bang Theory" is entirely likely to surpass "Two and a Half Men" this season and become CBS's most popular comedy series, and if you talk about the ratings of the 18-40 age group alone, in fact, "The Big Bang Theory" has surpassed "Two and a Half Men", for CBS, such a situation is undoubtedly extremely happy. After all, the production cost of "The Big Bang Theory" is only half of that of "Two and a Half Heroes".

"Heroes" looks hopelessly ill, and a 46% year-over-year decline in premiere ratings is pushing it to the precipice of death.

Overall. "Dr. House" dominated the drama show on Monday, and CBS remained the biggest winner. Although the former's "Dancing with the Stars" continues to dominate the total TV program ratings on Monday, its viewership has fallen by 18% compared with last year, and the latter's "Hero" needless to say, under the squeeze of "Dancing with the Stars" and "Doctor House", there is almost no room to survive.

Monday night's ratings battle was a big hit, and Tuesday night it was the turn of "NCIS" and its spin-off, NCIS: Los Angeles, to land again. There is no doubt that due to the general call for several other new dramas, the results of the ratings war in the drama series category have long been doomed, "NCIS" and its spin-off series "NCIS: Los Angeles" will definitely occupy the first and second place, and the focus of attention is nothing more than what kind of ratings the two can achieve, whether the former can complete the surpassing of "CSI" on the basis of last year's second, and whether the latter can be as successful as the two spin-offs of "CSI" Los Angeles and New York. Helping CBS take it to the next level.

There was no long wait, and when the time came to Los Angeles time on Wednesday, the final ratings were also in front of people.

NCIS builds on last year's premiere episode. The number of viewers surged by 32%, with a score of 20.84 million, which was affected. The spin-off series "NCIS: Los Angeles", which aired immediately after its schedule, received 18.87 million ratings, surpassing "Sherlock", not only leading the new dramas in recent years, but also ranking among the top even if you count the old dramas, thanks to the performance of the two far exceeding expectations, CBS ushered in the highest ratings night for the same period since 1993.

Two days in a row is undoubtedly gratifying, but for CBS. This is obviously not the end of the story, the existence of "Sherlock" and two of the latest returning old dramas, "Criminal Minds" and "CSI: New York". All expectations were that the suspense of Wednesday's ratings war had been completely killed, and the focus was nothing more than what the three high-profile dramas could achieve. Especially "Sherlock", which just set a record of excellent ratings last week.

And the end result.

"'Sherlock' continues to dominate Wednesday Night, and the battle for the best new show has just begun."

17.27 million, this is the number of viewers of the second episode of the second week of "Sherlock", which has risen slightly on the basis of the premiere episode, although it is still behind "NCIS: Los Angeles", but "NCIS: Los Angeles" is only the first episode, and it is far from the time when the dust has settled.

Thanks to the excellent performance of "Sherlock", "Criminal Minds" and "CSI: New York" followed by 16.62 million and 15.48 million ratings, respectively, helping CBS usher in the highest ratings night for the same period since 2002 after Tuesday.

"Boss, I have watched "NCIS: Los Angeles", its quality is not outstanding, and the follow-up ratings will definitely decline, I believe that in the end, it will be our "Sherlock" that will win the competition for the strongest new drama." Chris. Anderson's voice came from across the phone.

"Really? is so confident, you must know that as long as the ratings of "NCIS" continue to be stable, as its spin-off, and broadcast closely behind it, the quality is passable, the ratings will be considerable, and no matter how much it declines, it will not decline anywhere. Lin Yuquan chuckled, retracted his gaze from the night outside the hotel, and walked to the sofa.

"Yes, yes, but if we can keep the upward momentum up, up and down, the final winner will definitely belong to us." Chris. Anderson laughed.

Lin Yuquan smiled and shook his head: "The truth is indeed like this, but the strongest new drama or something is just a name, don't deliberately care about it, lest the production team bear a lot of pressure, do your best, and everything will fall into place." ā€

"Understand the boss, we've been doing it all the time." Chris. Anderson said: "By the way, the boss, I have communicated with the writing team, if the first season of "Sherlock" is extended by a few episodes, it may affect the normal production of the second season, according to what the boss said, everything is based on ensuring the quality of the series, and the CBS has rejected the request of CBS, CBS has no big objections to this, but they hope to expand the length in the second season." ā€

"No problem, but Chris, you know, there is a prerequisite, that is, the quality of the series must not be affected, and even if the length is expanded, it must be controlled within a certain range, after all, crime suspense dramas are different from emotional dramas and sitcoms, and the excitement of the drama depends largely on the brilliance of the case itself, and every brilliant case is extremely brain-burning, and if the length is long, it is inevitable that there will be a phenomenon of indiscriminate filling, and in the end, the gains outweigh the losses." Lin Yuquan chuckled.

"Yes boss, it is based on this that we are more worried about this requirement of CBS, and think that it should be conservative, and I will convene the production team to demonstrate this in detail later, and it is more appropriate to add a few episodes." Chris. Anderson Road.

"Okay, old rules, I don't have to worry about you doing things, I'll wait for the final result." Lin Yuquan smiled.

Ends and Chris. Anderson's call, Lin Yuquan got up from the sofa, came to the floor-to-ceiling window again, looked through the transparent glass, admired the night outside the window, and smiled slightly, for him, the slight increase in the ratings of the second episode of "Sherlock" is naturally a very pleasant good news, before the production of "Sherlock" began, his understanding of why American dramas have strong competitiveness around the world is still relatively written, but now he has a deep understanding of the gap between domestic TV drama production and American drama production, This kind of walking on thin ice, which can be cut at any time, is by no means covered, forcing everyone around a series to give it their all.

Of course, the production of domestic TV dramas is not useless, and because some serious themes whose ratings are destined to hit the street will not be cut, they can all be produced, and domestic martial arts dramas cannot be filmed by American dramas.

But it is obvious that domestic dramas with the same theme are almost completely exploded by American dramas, and if you follow the operation mode of American dramas, domestic serious dramas and martial arts dramas must also be able to achieve a big leap in quality.

To be honest, he is quite disappointed in the environment of domestic TV drama production, although the boutique strategy of Shuguang Film has improved the situation, the substantive impact is extremely limited, in the final analysis, the production capacity of Shuguang Film is too small, and the TV series produced every year cannot even meet the broadcast volume of a provincial satellite TV evening prime time, and it is impossible to retain everyone and satisfy everyone, and therefore, even if the TV series produced by other film and television companies are not as good as Shuguang Movie, there are still a lot of TV stations rushing to ask for it, There are still a large number of viewers rushing to watch it, and as long as there is enough room for survival, it is impossible for all film and television companies to regard the quality of dramas as the foundation.

For such a situation, even if he is very dissatisfied, he is also powerless, and only national policies can fundamentally guide things involving the entire industry.

Maybe you can start with online dramas to test the waters, try to broadcast while producing, and cut the mode of episodes at any time, there is no hope for ordinary dramas, and the TV station must broadcast all the finished products, if the online dramas that are only broadcast on the Dawning Network do not have such a problem.

After making a decision in his heart, Lin Yuquan's smile became more and more on his face, try it, how can you succeed if you don't try, and how can you have surprises if you don't try.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
