Compared to Emily's sentimentalism, ABC's Billy Parma is more of a believer in statistics.

He is the one who advocates the purchase of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" on the ABC side, and is also the follow-up of the anime after the purchase.

For him, just one sentence feels good, but he can't make a difference.

Only a good rating data can get him out of pressure and raise his eyebrows.

Therefore, as soon as the premiere episode of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" ended, he urged his staff to start counting the ratings data-

"The highest number of viewers is 8 million, and the average number of viewers is 5 million, which is very good!"

Although this is only a rough statistic, and many details are not detailed enough, after seeing it, Billy Parma's hanging heart suddenly relaxed.

In fact, the number of viewers around 5 million is not ranked in the TV program ratings list in the United States.

Not to mention the major league finals, Oscars and other key programs that only occur once or twice a year, they are general hit American dramas, and when it comes to the finale, it is relatively normal to hit an average of 20 million and a maximum of 30 million viewers.

However, that's usually the finale.

For newly launched dramas, an average of 5 million, and a maximum of 8 million viewers, is already quite a good result.

What's more, according to audience feedback, many viewers feel that the 3D production and painting style are more beautiful and cute than traditional TV animations, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which is very interesting.

Many people are reminded of the animated movie "Toy Story" released two years ago.

This naturally brought a lot of audience to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

And this animation is indeed very well made.

Especially in terms of plot design, although most of the time was spent on unfolding the setting because of the premiere episode, and it didn't enter the too interesting plot part, Charlotte, who supervised the animation, still relied on her ability to grasp the rhythm and make the whole episode look very interesting.

"A lot of the plot is unexpected, it's reasonable!"

Billy Parma sighed,

"Charlotte Booth is worthy of being a great director, and she has produced an animated film in the nature of a ticket, and she can even have this level!"

- For Charlotte, who can bring benefits to himself, Billy Parma is naturally not hesitant to praise him.

And in the second week, after the second episode of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" aired, Billy Parma couldn't wait to hug Charlotte and kiss her!

The average is 5.89 million, and the highest is 8.99 million!

That's a significant increase in viewership!

From the growth curve, it is already clear that the ratings potential of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" -

It's likely to be another hit series.

- Even if it's a cartoon!

In other words, precisely because "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a cartoon, its hit can bring more benefits to ABC!

You know, the current owner of ABC is Disney, which started with animated movies!

They are well aware of what the greatest advantage of cartoons is -

Sell merchandise!

Children's enthusiasm for toys is much higher than that of adults.

And in this world, in addition to women's money, is there any better money to make than children's money?

Well, there is still one, and that is girls' money!

Disney has been holding on to its own princess series of animated movies, and would rather launch the next one at a box office loss, and won't stop if it doesn't make up the princesses of all races in the world, isn't it because of this!

- Even if the box office loses, Mattel's royalty is enough to make Disney recover.

How many little girls around the world don't like Barbie's dolls?

Anyway, thinking about the future of money, Billy Parma feels that his heart is on fire.

The only thing that makes him depressed is that the producer of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is not a studio under ABC, but the ghost party studio of the great director Charlotte Booth.

This means that the development of the surrounding area is in the hands of the other side.

Although Billy Parma felt that it should not be difficult for ABC to reach an agreement with the other party on the development of the surrounding area.

- After all, the Ghost Party Studio is just a pure content provider, and it has neither experience nor strength in peripheral development, so it is ultimately looking for a collaborator.

But the question of who will lead the cooperation is one thing.

You know, Charlotte Booth is not the kind of author who became famous for the first time, with the other party's fame and connections, the bargaining power is very strong.

Thinking of this, Billy Parma had a headache for a while......

Compared with Billy Parma, who got into the eyes of money, as pure spectators, Emily and Gianna had a good life.

After experiencing the common viewing and awkward chats of the premiere episode, although the relationship between the two girls is not completely harmonious, the number of times they taunt each other is much less.

Gianna would sometimes watch movies that she hadn't seen before with Emily's introduction.

- Although duplicitous debasement is inevitable afterwards.

But Emily didn't care about any of that.

By the time the second episode of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aired, the two girls sat together in front of the TV in their bedroom......

"I'd love to have a wand!"

Seeing the various interesting reactions of Harry Potter when he tried on his wand, Gianna couldn't help but sigh.

"It should be soon!"

Emily is not shocked, as a senior movie fan, she is familiar with the practice of the entertainment industry, she explained,

"As long as the cartoon is a hit, it will generally develop the periphery soon, and there will naturally be all kinds of magic wands for you to choose from!"

- There's even a wand-shaped XX device!

Thinking of the strange gift given by her father in order to pursue the beautiful policewoman who caught him, Emily suddenly felt that her father's pursuit was always unsuccessful, and it still made sense.

Gianna didn't know what Emily was complaining about, she pursed her mouth,

"What I want is a real wand!"

“......”

- How could that thing be!?

Emily suddenly felt that when she watched "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", her whole personality as a blue pool-type roommate collapsed.

Is that the appearance originally a disguise?

Or is it the effect of "magic"?

Emily didn't know how to describe it.

And the process of Gianna's collapse is still going on-

"Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, the magic steam train here is so interesting!"

"That's true! But the steam train—"

Emily suddenly remembered a story that Howard had relayed about Rajesh during a previous conversation with the Sheldon Four.

- Rajesh himself is still unable to speak in front of the girl.

"It is said that there are places in India where this kind of steam train still exists. ”

"Really, India is a great place!"

“......”

Regarding Gianna's evaluation, Emily felt that Rajesh, who was unwilling to return to India even if he died, would definitely not agree.

"This girl has been flooded with too much water in the Ganges!"

Maybe the other party will describe Gianna like that.

- if he can open his mouth in front of the girl.
