On that night, the audience who were watching WB TV station had a little more surprises.

The playback of the new drama has made the ratings that have dropped sharply after the end of the stable news program.

The nearly fifty minutes of episodes ended quickly with some complaints.

"Oh, why is it over?"

"What the hell did Miller come up with to rescue his brother from the first-level prison."

"Just broadcasting, everything is ignorant. What is the relationship between the tattoo on the man and the information on the wall?"

“The WB drama is quite interesting.”

“Not enough.”

“…”

In the middle of the night, the audience attracted by the trailer was quite satisfied.

Some people even went to call the WB TV channel, which made the on-duty staff busy.

The phone calls are going to explode.

It is really the power of public opinion.

Fans saw a well-made TV series, which was simple and enthusiastic, and most of them asked for additional updates.

"One episode a week is not enough to watch. Can you play more episodes?"

"The setting is very good, and the character Miller is even more amazing. I hope this drama can be filmed well."

"expect......"

In the living room of a high-end community.

If the tense atmosphere of WB TV is a little relaxed, then Charles, who has watched this episode of "Prison Break", is quite uncomfortable.

He looked at the subject and sighed at the novel plot, while thinking, "How much does this scene cost? That person believes that it will be successful? If you spend a lot of money like this, the production cost is no more than one or two million per episode. Is it worth it?"

Charles's face looked very ugly.

He felt that Lehman had a brain disease.

In order to suppress him and force him, he made such a big news. Even if WB TV supports him, the money will definitely not be paid less. Most of the money can't be recovered, but the ratings will never be bad.

Both sides are in a lose-lose style.

Charles was really scared.

First there was the Lion Gate, then the drama started, and he was aggressive at all costs.

Charles felt that he might not be able to resist this situation.

Or, no more fight?

Lehman is a lunatic, why should he fight with people with abnormal brains?

While Charles was thinking silently, the director of WB TV showed a long-lost smile.

The ratings statistics of American TV series are more intuitive and convenient.

But the whole result will take several hours to fully count.

Although he has no idea how good the results of "Prison Break" are, the kind of positive reviews and support voices, based on his experience and intuition, are probably very good. At least, renewal is completely worry-free.

I've found a treasure.

at the same time.

The audience who kept reminiscing about the plot also recommended the drama to their relatives and friends.

"Did you watch the new WB TV show tonight? It's quite interesting."

“I recommend it.”

"From the level of this first episode and the development of the plot, it means that the screenwriter is absolutely amazing and his thinking is too appropriate."

......

Inside the office of Warner headquarters.

Barry Meyer is also very concerned about the achievements of the show.

Although the TV station is not under his control, he needs to pay attention to it because of Lehman.

Maybe I really appreciate it. He just handled official duties while guarding the ratings of "Prison Break" overnight, waiting for a happy call?

As a key person who recommended to WB TV to broadcast Firefly Film to stop the series, the TV station was able to grit its teeth and buy the trial copyright of the show for more than two million yuan, take risks together, and sign the renewal contract in advance later, which gave good conditions and some of his efforts.

Of course, all the premises are that "Prison Break" is indeed good.

After all, Firefly Pictures had no experience in producing TV series before.

Once you fail, although you won’t lose too much, there may be some problems with the TV station.

The board of directors cannot tolerate some twists and turns in its business, but it cannot tolerate the continuous twists and turns, and there is no improvement.

You know, they have already spent too much to start this TV station and fill in Warner's media puzzle, and the support is also very strong.

But in the past few years, even if you can't make much money, you won't have enough market share.

Many shareholders have increasingly large opinions, and the number of shareholders who have banned TV stations has also increased one after another.

The warning on the surface was like a stone pressing on WB TV station.

It is also proof that it has been replaced by several batches of executives in three years.

Barry Meyer also knows this, but if possible, he still hopes that WB TV can gain a foothold.

23 o'clock.

23:30.

Zero.

a little......

Soon, when the time approached, there was indeed a phone call in the quiet office.

The phone in the pocket vibrated a little. Barry Meyer stopped the work in his hand, took a deep breath, relieved his tired body. He then silently picked up the phone and put it in his ear.

In just a moment, he widened his eyes like a loss of composure.

"Have you confirmed that the statistical results are not wrong?"

After the voice passed, Charles still made a sedate confirmation and said, "I checked it several times and there will definitely be no mistakes."

“Average viewership in the United States: 3.2, highest ratings 3.4, A18-49 average viewership: 2.7, highest ratings 2.8.”

Charles repeated it on the phone again.

Barry Mayer was stunned.

That certain and very certain tone forced him to believe it.

In this way...

There is one that can be played on Sunday's prime time TV series.

What does it mean to have such data in the first episode of the pilot?

Both of them on the phone knew very well.

Barry Mayer was very excited.

"The audience loss is in a very safe area." Charles was still saying.

For a pilot drama like "Prison Break", this data is one of the most critical ones.

Comparison of the highest ratings and average ratings.

Many times, some popular script adapters and TV station executives are very popular to play. Due to the investment of a large number of preheating resources, there are countless people with premiere ratings of more than 3, or even breaking five or six.

However, the difference between the highest statistical value and the average statistical value is less than 0.2, which means that most viewers did not change the channel to watch the WB TV drama channel during the first episode of "Prison Break".

They were all satisfied with the content of the first episode.

As for the statistical interval values ​​of A19-49, it also represents that "Prison Break" is an absolutely favorite drama for young people.

If the subsequent audience base can be stable or even go all the way up, and when the reputation of the TV series itself spreads, "Prison Break" will never be only 3 views.

The two can even see the scene of the advertiser opening his arms to WB TV...
