Chapter 544: My Career Is Breaking Down (Part II)
In addition to Hollywood movies, the cloth stitching blame on the TV series has not been smooth sailing recently.
There are good and bad.
The first good one is naturally Fox's "Dr. House", which aired in the spring of March, and won 6.6 million viewers at the beginning, which is not amazing.
But the second episode is 8.2 million, the third episode is 9.3 million, the fourth episode directly rushed to 10 million, reaching 10.3 million viewers, and the fifth episode also maintained 10.5 million viewers.
The positive reviews from the audience were very high.
This somewhat cool lame middle-aged doctor, with his personality and rebellion, as well as his special temperament, successfully attracted the attention of the audience, and many people expressed their liking in interviews.
Fox estimated the average viewership for "Dr. House" at 12 million.
To put it bluntly, if the number of viewers can exceed 10 million for two consecutive months, then they will book the second season in advance and change "Dr. House" to the most competitive, but the number of viewers will be more in the autumn and fight against many opponents.
The success of "Dr. House" also led Gail Berman, the president of the Fox Television Network, to recommend "The New York Catastrophe" to Twentieth Century Fox, thus reaching this cooperation.
Therefore, success is complementary to each other, and there is no simple reason to succeed.
It's just that the second new drama, that is, "X File Eucalyptus", which was launched in the spring of NBC, has encountered a cold snap in the number of viewers.
The first episode was watched by 6.9 million, which is higher than "Dr. House".
But by the second episode, "Dr. House" had reached 8.2 million, and it had only risen by 300,000.
With the third episode, it was even more terrifying, "X File Eucalyptus" plummeted directly to 6.4 million, which was lower than the number of viewers of the first episode.
6.4 million for the fourth episode and 7 million for the fifth episode.
So far, such results can only be said to be not bad, and there is no standard to interrupt, but if you want to sign a contract again at the previous high price in the second season, I'm afraid there is no way.
If it's low, people don't have to.
This is also weird.
Even "Plastic Surgery Room" on FX Cable TV mentioned the autumn file last year, and the average number of viewers was 5 million.
Why is it that such a thrilling TV series of "X File Eucalyptus" has such low ratings on public channels?
According to the analysis of Boob Stitch Monster and NBC, it may be because the male protagonist of "X File Eucalyptus" is an Asian.
Although Yuan Biao can fight, and the plot is thrilling and exciting, with a bit of Cheng Long's kung fu comedy, the audience is always awkward when they watch him play the decrypted police detective.
It is said that NBC is proposing whether to change the actor of Mi Country in the second season.
This question didn't come to Xuluo, and Chen Xiyue directly refused.
She understands Xuluo's mind, and she also knows why Xuluo wants Yuan Biao to play the leading role, which is not comparable to ratings and money.
It is precisely because of her refusal that NBC is very dissatisfied, and is ready to wait for the poor results of the first season of "X File Eucalyptus", so she will directly lower the price, or refuse the second season.
Xuluo didn't care.
If NBC refuses, Xuluo will go directly to the Fox television network, even for a little less money.
And he did not believe.
This TV series, which has been filmed for at least ten seasons in a row, will it suffer Waterloo just because it changed Yuan Biao?
It shouldn't be!
The plot not only follows the original book, but Xuluo has also been optimized to a certain extent, Huang Yiyu, who is responsible for the screenwriter adaptation, is the original screenwriter of "X File Eucalyptus", and there is no scribbling at all - besides, Xuluo also carefully reviewed what he wrote, although it is slightly immature, but the story written is very good and completely usable.
So even if the results in the first season are not good, it is impossible for Xuluo to give up.
At least after the third season, if the results have been bad and even Fox News can't hold on, then Xuluo will be temporarily put on hold.
But this is definitely not just wielding a knife from the palace, but waiting until he is more powerful, and then take it out and make it.
The growing strength of the cloth stitching monster is the root cause of these TV stations becoming more and more convinced.
Why is Xuluo sure that even if the first season of "X File Eucalyptus" is not good, Fox News dares to ask for it?
"Plastic Surgery Room" and "Dr. House" are the confidence of Xuluo.
There is also "Miguo Idol", which is getting better.
"Miguo Idol" mentioned it to Gail Berman when Xuluo went to Miguo in August last year, and then Bubu Stitching Monster made Xuluo's plan into a more detailed plan and began to cooperate with Forbes TV Network.
After two or three months of careful planning and careful discussion and research, the launch officially began in January.
Beginning in January, three consecutive fundraising advertisements were released for young people across the United States.
In February, "Miguo Idol" began auditions in 15 states of Miguo, with as many as 250,000 applicants.
Don't doubt the dream of human beings to become famous and prosperous, and to reach the pinnacle of life.
With so many people signing up, the choreographers and judges of the Fox TV Network were tired enough, and they were crazy overtime auditions throughout February.
According to Xuluo's plan, on Valentine's Day on February 14, the carefully edited "audition clip" was broadcast after the noon news on Fox News.
The senior TV people were simply sneering at this kind of child's play-like audition editing.
Look at that strange young man.
Check out their embarrassing dances, songs, and talent shows!
It's completely inferior to the level of passers-by, how can it be put on the TV?
Does anyone watch this?
Of course!
On the first day of the audition, the number of viewers was only 450,000.
On the second day, it was 880,000, and on the third day, it suddenly skyrocketed to 1.7 million!
Every day after that, the number has been steadily rising.
As of February 29th, the last day of February, the highest viewership exceeded 5 million in an instant!
God!
It's just an audition clip.
Just playing it in the garbage time after noon, it can reach 5 million people?
So Fox News was reassured, and since March, when the scenes of the preliminary round were broadcast, not only the production was more refined, but also the editing was modified according to the preferences of the audience.
The people in the film and television industry of Mi are the ones who can best capture the hearts of the audience.
Thanks to their efforts, the preliminary editing of "Miguo Idol" was officially broadcast in March, reaching an average of 7.7 million.
Needless to say.
In the first week of April, before the rematch began to air, all the TV people were speculating that maybe it would exceed 10 million people this week.
Clearly, they guessed right.
On the first day of the semi-finals, all 50 contestants appeared in this broadcast, and the number of viewers directly exceeded 10.5 million, setting a record for reality variety shows in the past three years!
"Miguo Idol" has officially become Fox News' trump card program this year, enjoying the best preferential treatment in terms of funds, personnel, time slots, etc.
Countless advertisers also flocked to the market, waving checks, just hoping to display their products on "Miguo Idol".
Because most of the audience of "Mikuni Idol" are young people, Coca-Cola and Pepsi for drinks, Adidas and Nike for sneakers and sportswear, McDonald's and KFC for fast food, Chanel and Gucci for the clothing industry, Lancôme and Olea for the cosmetics industry...... And so on, these brands are particularly eager to advertise.
Fox News originally made money from advertising, and so many people flocked to it, naturally holding a butcher's knife in their hands, showing the smile of an old aunt.
】
According to the speculation of the cloth cloth stitching monster, the score of the first season of his company's "Miguo Idol" may be as high as 50 million US dollars.
The key is not money, but the huge influence brought by "Miguo Idol".
It brought the Boob Stitch Monster into a new business, and it was a huge success.
Holding the young people's favorite variety shows, it is naturally very convenient to do anything in the future.
With such a good start in Miguo, "Sister Idler" in the mainland began to be broadcast in March, and the average rating reached 24%, which is not so noticeable.
But it is undeniable that "Sister Idler" is very good.
Because it was once again under the huge pressure of Huaxia TV to start broadcasting.
Under the tiger's mouth of Huaxia TV, it has grabbed 24% of the ratings, which is already very good.
And the second round of broadcast rights of "Sister Idler" also sold very well, especially in the north, the prices offered by five or six provinces are quite high, because they think it has a northern flavor, and the audience will definitely like it.
Feng Xiaogang directed a TV series alone for the first time in his life, and he achieved such great achievements, when he called Xuluo, he cried profusely.
He understood.
On the road of the film and television industry, if you don't have a good guide, it's nothing.
The opportunity given to him by Xuluo can be regarded as allowing him to officially set foot on Yangguan Avenue, and since then he has gained more opportunities in the film and television industry, and he can also take a step towards his dream.
The young man didn't tell Feng Xiaogang about "Big Names".
After filming a TV series, I want to shoot "Big Names", which is inevitably too fueled by seedlings.
But "Big Names" will not drag on for long, after all, my family's thirteenth aunt is now in her prime, and it must look better when filmed.
Speaking of Aunt Thirteen, she starred in her previous life, and "New Dragon Gate Inn", which she did not appear in this life, was also released in March.
Although the actors have changed a lot, Liang Jiahui and Zhang Yanyu are both there, so the essence of "New Dragon Gate Inn" is still there.
The audience is still quite interested in the movies made by Xu Laowei, and the total box office of Xiangjiang has reached 38 million Hong Kong dollars.
As a martial arts film, this result is already very good, higher than the box office of the two films of "Once Upon a Time".
It's just that in the whole of Asia, the box office of "New Dragon Gate Inn" is only 130 million Hong Kong dollars, which is much lower than "Once Upon a Time".
But compared to its investment income ratio, the rate of return of "New Dragon Gate Inn" is already very high, which can be regarded as a rare martial arts boutique in recent years.
In particular, a group of critics in Xiangjiang praised it high, thinking that it was several times better than "Once Upon a Time", saying that this is a truly pure martial arts movie.
On this point, Xuluo agreed.
