I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 212

[Chapter 207 The Wind Rises]

Early the next morning, a large number of newspapers in North America appeared in black and bold headlines such as ‘Friends’, ’30 million’, and ‘Viewing Miracle’, all kinds of Comments also flooded in front of people.

“Rachel Green, the spoiled and indecisive; Monica Geller, the strong and clean-minded; Phoebe Buffy, who is eccentric; Le, the humorous Chandler Bean, the simple-minded Joey Tribbiani… Only two episodes have been played, Eric Williams has used those simple and trivial shots to create six distinctive characters for us It also made the audience fall in love with these six virtual characters in just one hour.” The 31.7 million premiere of “Friends” proves this again. When the audience sees the six protagonists living in a New York apartment, they seem to see the shadows in their own lives, which may be the success of this sitcom The most important factor, just like the “Growing Pains” that is still on the air, Eric Williams is worthy of being a genius. The details of life that he can easily spliced into interesting dialogues, and they were firmly connected. , the personalities of the six protagonists have been fully shaped. I am looking forward to the next plot more and more. I believe that Eric Williams, who wrote the script himself, will definitely bring more to the audience in terms of plot. Surprise, no doubt, who made him Eric Williams.” “…” &

Of course, there are also different opinions. The Los Angeles Metropolis Daily is doing a simple survey.

Said that through random interviews with the audience of “Friends”, it was found that less than 60% of the audience were very satisfied with the plot, while more than 20% of the audience interviewed said that “Friends” did not meet their expectations.

The remaining 20% of viewers thought “Friends” was of average quality.

So the opinion piece of the Los Angeles Metropolis Daily concluded that the miracle of “Friends”‘s more than 30 million viewers was entirely the result of a series of previous hype.

The results of the survey showed that the quality of “Friends” obviously did not meet the psychological expectations of many viewers who were full of expectations for Eric Williams, and the ratings would plummet in the future.

There are more than one newspapers and media similar to the “Los Angeles Metropolitan News” that is depressing the next ratings of “Friends”, but such remarks can generally only be grandstanding to fool ordinary people, as long as a little bit Anyone with professional knowledge understands that although the ratings miracle of “Friends” is helped by hype, if the quality itself is not good, it is impossible to reach the average number of viewers of 31.7 million people. “Friends” has only aired two episodes. Prove its hot prowess.

There is a viewing base of more than 30 million viewers.

Even if there will be a major decline in the ratings, the number of viewers will definitely exceed 2,000.

For TV dramas, with more than 20 million viewers, it is definitely a super hit.

The three established TV stations in North America, and cbs originally did not pay much attention to Fox TV. The youngest of the three major TV stations have developed for half a century, and the history of He cbs is even longer.

Over the years, more than one media group has attempted to challenge the status of the three major TV stations, but without exception, they all ended in failure.

Therefore, even if News Corp hired Barry Diller, known as the best man in the media industry, to be responsible for setting up the TV network business, even if Fox has already established a scale ranking in the United States in just a few years Fourth Television Network.

But in the eyes of the three major TV stations, Fox is still just a newcomer to the North American TV circle.

After all, it doesn’t matter how large it scales.

After all, the TV station has to rely on the ratings of the program to speak, but Fox has not had any good TV programs in the past few years.

Before “Friends”, the highest viewing record of Fox TV did not even exceed 20 million, while the highest viewing record of the three major TV stations that jointly own the Super Bowl rotating broadcast rights was more than 100 million. Even in normal times, the three major TV stations can Easily take out several ace shows with more than 20 million viewers.

Therefore, although News Corporation made a lot of noise in North America, Rupert Murdoch deliberately became an American citizen in order to gain the power to form a TV network.

However, the three major TV stations all took a cold-eyed attitude towards the ‘upstart’ from Australia.

Waiting for the opponent to come back like other challengers again.

The number of viewers of “Friends” exceeded 30 million, which made the top three TV stations completely wake up.

They just found out.

Before you know it, Fox’s TV network, a newcomer that has only been established for a few years, already has more than 100 networked TV stations, covering more than 90% of the United States.

The first reaction of the three major TV stations is that Fox must not be allowed to continue to develop. After all, the size of the domestic TV market in the United States is fixed. If Fox rises, it will definitely mean that the market share of the three major TV stations will be greatly reduced.

The executives of the three major TV stations had a rare emergency meeting. After hours of consultation, the first countermeasure was to take the broadcasting rights of “Friends” after the second season from Fox at all costs. If possible, directly take over the next episodes of the first season of “Friends”, even if he pays a high liquidated damages for Eric Williams.

Without “Friends”, Fox’s expansion will definitely slow down again, so the three major TV stations will have plenty of time to slowly clean up Fox, an ‘outsider’ who is taking food.

The things that the executives of the three major TV stations can think of, whether it is Barry Diller of Fox or Rupert Murdoch, the helm of News Corp. .

Although several of Eric’s films have brought huge benefits to Fox, Rupert Murdoch did not pay too much attention to Eric, and only regarded him as a new director who cooperated with Fox. Doc never met Eric.

But this time is different. Murdoch’s newspaper group has developed to the extreme. The main ambition is now on the TV network. Eric’s “Friends” has brought an important opportunity for the rapid expansion of his TV network. The three major TV stations are just around the corner, no matter which aspect, Murdoch has the need to personally come forward to win over Eric.

So, when Eric attended the opening ceremony of the 46th Venice Film Festival on the evening of September 4, a huge Boeing private plane landed at Venice Marco Polo International Airport.
