Chapter 817 Obama is also chasing dramas

Eight hours after "House of Cards" was launched, Antioco got a new data. In these eight hours, 4.11 million viewers watched the first episode of House of Cards, 3.34 million viewers watched the first two episodes, and 450,000 viewers watched the entire show in one go.

After hearing this data, warm applause broke out in the conference room again, everyone smiled happily, and even the air was filled with joy.

Antioco subconsciously took out the cell phone in his pocket and wanted to tell Zhang Ran the good news, but after taking out the cell phone, he realized that Zhang Ran was in Ireland. Ireland was 6 hours apart from the eastern United States. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Ran might have rested at this time. It would be better to wait until tomorrow, and after the 24-hour data of "House of Cards" was released, it would be better to tell him the result.

Thinking of this, Antioco stuffed his phone back, then leaned comfortably on the chair, tapped his fingers on the table, smiled slightly at Netflix's management, and said, "Gentlemen, this is a great victory to celebrate. Let's have a good drink tonight!"

That night, there were discussions about "House of Cards" everywhere on the Internet, including discussion plots, actors, Netflix's one-time viewing mode, and many people enthusiastically recommended this drama to their friends.

"I watched all 13 episodes in one go. Netflix's mode is so cool! I love Zhang, I love Netflix, I love this drama! When the second season is broadcast, I will definitely prepare in advance. I suggest that those who have not watched "House of Cards" have prepared energy drinks, water, chocolate biscuits, and vitamin powders that enhance immunity. This drama really makes you unable to stop!"

"I have been attracted since the first episode. I am really David Finch. In addition to the background explanation of Frank in the middle episode and Frank personally killed people, the political main line of the whole season has always been highly compact. Not only is the excellent rhythm control, but the atmosphere is well set off, Spacey's performance is also exquisite. But in the end, the paper can no longer be covered. I don't know how Frack should deal with it in the second season!"

"This drama is amazing. What the story tells is happening in reality. This drama will implement the medical reform bill after the president takes office, and now Obama is also carrying out medical reform. After watching this drama, you will know what happened recently. The medical reform bill in "House of Cards" has been passed. Can Obama's bill be passed in reality?"

After lunch the next day, Zhang Ran and Robert De Niro chatted in a roadside cafe.

Robert De Niro was wearing a Russian military uniform, holding a cigar in his hand, talking in English with a clear Russian accent. The cigar in his hand was not lit, but was held in his mouth from time to time, looking for the feeling of Colonel Ancient. Anyone who had read the script of "The Future Apocalypse" and looked at De Niro in front of him, no one would say that he was not like him, and he felt that he was like a novel.

The two were having fun chatting. Zhang Ran's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Antioco. He knew that it should be Netflix's first-day data, so he quickly answered the phone and asked with a smile: "John, the first-day data of "House of Cards" should be okay?"

Antioco's voice was a little excited: "Yes, the data is very good. According to our statistics, 5.37 million users watched the first episode of "House of Cards" within 24 hours, and 4.21 million users watched the first two episodes. 520,000 users watched all 13 episodes in one day. Some users even watched 13 episodes in a row, and the whole process only paused for 3 minutes, which was particularly crazy."

Zhang Ran was very satisfied with this data. It was originally a fine drama, and he spent another 20 million US dollars to promote it. There was no reason to be popular. He chuckled: "The first season 1 episodes cost about seven hours, but it only paused for three minutes. Did he not eat or drink or go to the bathroom all day? This is too strong!" After laughing, he suggested: "The audience spent seven hours to finish the whole drama in one breath, which means that our drama is attractive! I think you can find this audience, give him a small gift, and use it as a gimmick to promote it. You just said that 520,000 users finished watching the drama in one day. This crowd is quite large, so we will give "House of Cards" to the hot topic list of fly and Facebook to create an atmosphere where "House of Cards" is so good that it can't stop at first glance!"

Antioco's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "This idea is great. I'll find someone to do it now!"

Zhang Ran was most concerned about the new users and asked: "How many new users are there?"

Antioco said: "This month, there were 1.35 million new users, and 220,000 users were added in the 24 hours after the release of "House of Cards"!"

Zhang Ran was quite satisfied with the growth rate and encouraged him: "You have done a good job. Recently, the Obamacare Reform Act is very hot and the attention is very high. This is the best publicity for us and we must make good use of it."

Antioco replied: We will do it!"

On the healthcare reform bill, Antioco was really impressed by Zhang Ran.

The most important plot of the first few episodes of "House of Cards" is that after the new president took office, the implementation of education reform, which caused a series of storms. Finally, with the promotion of Frank, the bill for education reform was successfully passed. After reading the script, Zhang Ran suggested changing the education bill into a medical reform bill. Zhang Ran was the boss, and he asked for the script to be changed, so the screenwriter Ball Willymont had a lot of complaints.

After the filming of "House of Cards", Obama also began to promote medical reform with all his might. On November 7 last year, the House of Representatives passed the Medical Reform Bill with 220 votes in favor and 215 votes against, and the Senate also voted to pass the Comprehensive Medical Reform Bill on December 24. Since then, both houses have been discussing the content of the Medical Reform Bill.

However, on January 19 this year, the situation suddenly changed. In the special election of Senate in Massachusetts, Republican candidate Scott Brown, who opposed medical reform, won, the Senate Democrats lost their absolute majority, the prospect of passing the Medical Reform Bill was cast in shadow, and the process of discussing the unified text of the bill between the two houses was also deadlocked. For this reason, Obama had to take action personally and launch the first detailed White House version of the medical reform proposal based on the Senate version of the bill, trying to save the medical reform plan.

At this time, both Antioco and screenwriter Ball Willymon were convinced by Zhang Ran. They realized how awesome Zhang Ran’s suggestion was. Obama’s medical reform bill was related to the vital interests of many Americans. It can be said that the whole country was concerned. They all believed that after the broadcast of "House of Cards" would definitely attract huge attention.

As everyone expected, with the topic of the medical reform bill, "House of Cards" quickly attracted great attention. The medical reform in "House of Cards" is particularly similar to the medical reform in reality. The Democrats want to promote medical reform, while the Republicans oppose medical reform. Many viewers even think that Scott Brown, who firmly opposes medical reform, is particularly like Donald Bryce in "House of Cards". Anyone who has watched "House of Cards" thinks this drama is particularly magical and too real. The person who writes a drama is like staying in the White House.

Many people believe that "House of Cards" must have participated in the White House, otherwise it would be impossible to write the drama so realistically. After checking the Internet, it turned out that Ball Willymon, the actor in the drama, was not only proficient in American politics, but also served as an assistant to Hillary and others. Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the story was so true.

With the joint efforts of "House of Cards" fans and Netflix public relations staff, there are more and more discussions about "House of Cards" on the Internet, and it is becoming more and more popular. The "House of Cards" and "Health of Cards" and "Health of Cards" occupy the top two places in the hot search list of fly and Facebook for three consecutive days.

"Now Obama's health care reform bill is in trouble, he has encountered a Donald Bryce. Now he needs a Frank who can kill Donald!"

"Why can't Obama's health care reform bill be passed? Hey! Friends, you should go and watch "House of Cards". This drama is exactly the same as what Obama encounters now. After watching it, you will understand!"

"The Medical Reform Act in House of Cards was finally passed. Can the Medical Reform Act be passed in reality?"

"If Obama had a Frank, it would definitely be able to pass, but does Obama have a Frank? I don't know, so I really can't answer this question!"

"House of Cards" is a political thriller drama, which is darker and more brain-burning. Many people are not good at this. However, with the popularity of "House of Cards", many viewers who are not interested in political thrillers are interested. Is this drama really that good? Is it really that amazing? Many viewers who were not interested in "House of Cards" couldn't help but want to see what it was like. Netflix's monthly users began to rise rapidly.

Five days after "House of Cards" was aired, on March 18, the Democratic leader of the U.S. House of Representatives announced the final version of the Health Care Reform Act.

On March 21, at the White House in Washington, the capital of the United States, US President Obama spoke on the House of Representatives' vote to pass the Healthcare Reform Bill. On the same day, the House of Representatives voted on the Healthcare Reform Bill and finally passed the bill by 220 votes to 211.

On March 23, Obama signed the Health Insurance Reform Act at the White House, making the bill a law, bringing an end to the fierce medical reform debate that lasted for more than a year.

As Obama's full-scale medical reform bill was settled, fans of "House of Cards" were stunned at first, and then erupted like a volcano, once again put "House of Cards" on the top of the hot search list of fly and Facebook.

"It's really like "House of Cards", the medical reform bill has been passed! Oh my God, this drama is so amazing, it's like a prophet. The content in the drama is exactly the same as what happens in reality!"

"The medical reform bill has really been passed, hahaha! It must be Frank who took action!"

"God, this drama is so amazing, it's like a prophecy. This drama is so amazing!"

Many netizens even left messages under Obama's fly account: "Mr. President, who is your Frank?", "Obama, is Frank helping you with the medical reform bill this time?", "Did Frank really take action?", "Tell Frank, I love him so much!"...

Surprisingly, Obama actually posted a fly on it not long after. In recent months, Obama was troubled by the national emblem due to the medical reform bill. He joked: "I like Frank played by Spacey. He can settle many things. If the reality is the same, I need Frank like this!"

Obama is not only the president of the United States, but also the top V with the third largest fan ranking in fly, with 34.52 million fans. As soon as this message was sent, it immediately attracted huge attention. Major forums and portals in the United States, as well as social media, were in full swing, and everyone was spreading this amazing news!

Fans of "House of Cards" were even more excited and screamed. It turned out that Obama also watched "House of Cards", and even the president said it was OK for this drama!
