Chapter 367 I feel cheated

Thursday, such a working day is a bad day for the movie box office, but a pretty good day for the TV show.

Because on weekdays, most people are willing to stay at home to watch TV instead of driving to the parking lot and then watch movies.

This is also the reason why North American movie box office will plummet on weekdays, and "The Curse" is like this. Although it also achieved an outstanding result of $16.78 million on Sunday, the total box office on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and three days is nearly six million less than the single-day box office on Sunday.

This is undoubtedly the biggest benefit for the launch of "Running Man", and the TV market has been very popular in the past month.

The autumn broadcast season is a time period for major TV stations to strive for.

After its premiere on September 20, "Prison Break" immediately became the most eye-catching super-hot drama this year, and quickly became popular all over the world.

Despite being aired on Monday in North America, the number of viewers per episode has quickly climbed to more than 20 million.

So far, the first season of "Prison Break" has exceeded half, and the number of viewers in the first two episodes three days ago is still stable at more than 25 million.

However, in addition to "Prison Break", the old hit drama "Crime Scene" and "Two and Half Man" received a significant impact on the ratings of broadcasting on the same night as "Prison Break", the series broadcast on other dates also performed very well.

However, the most eye-catching thing is obviously the new program "Desperate Housewives" launched by ABC on the 3rd of last month. This weekly drama with a focus on women quickly became the second phenomenon-level hot drama.

Although the number of viewers on Wednesday has not exceeded "Prison Break", it has already made people smell the great possibility that it may exceed "Prison Break".

For those who expect Chen Tian’s failure, they are all looking forward to the number of viewers in "Desperate Housewives" overtake before the end of the first season of "Prison Break", even if the ratings of "Prison Break" are already abnormal enough.

Last night, the number of viewers in "Desperate Housewives" reached 25.78 million today.

The episodes such as "Running Man" have received unprecedented attention, even though "The Desperate Housewife" launched last month created a new ratings miracle.

You should know that since the first season has just aired, the average number of viewers per episode of this weekly drama with women as the absolute protagonist has reached as much as 20 million.

But even so, "Running Man", which seems to have not yet been tested, seems to be the highest-rated program.

Whether it is a movie forum, TV series forum or the most common life forum, you can see posts discussing Running Man. It is unimaginable that a program has received so much attention from the public before it has been aired.

During the release of "Running Man", each company has its own programs except NBC.

However, the variety show is only CBS's old variety show "Big Brother", which is a program originated from the Netherlands. It is released in more than 50 countries around the world.

Each country has its own "Big Brother" according to national conditions. Since 1998, CBS has introduced "Big Brother" and its ratings have been stable between 7 million and 10 million.

It is a summer program in a clear sense, but the span of the program is very long, and each season lasts for nearly half a year.

This year, the last episode of "Big Brother" will end at the end of November, and the super show "Survivor" with an average viewership of more than 14 million viewers.

I have to say that this reduces a lot of pressure on "Running Man".

In addition to "Big Brother", there are two giants, ABC and Fox.

Over the years, although the four major public television stations in the United States have competed fiercely with each other, they have all formed their own labels.

nbc is a comedy TV station, fox is an action station, cbs focuses on crime-type TV series, while abc focuses on brands in the women's market.

Fox's "24 Hours" is undoubtedly the biggest opponent in Running Man's debut. In the third season, "24 Hours" has formed a fixed audience group and is also the normal viewership champion during Thursday's schedule. The number of viewers in each episode is about 13 million.

ABC is the sister piece of "The Lawyer" "Boston Law". This new drama that started broadcasting half a month ago is worth the bonus. The number of viewers is pretty good. With three episodes broadcast, the number of viewers has stabilized at around 7 million.

"Justin, we can definitely be good, there are no big competitors. The only shame is that we don't have much publicity, and we focus more on the six of you. Instead of the content of the show itself, if it were someone else, I would never agree to this.

But that person is you, I can't think of any reason to disagree, you will bring us miracles." Greenbron said with a smile at the computer screen.

He defeated Chen Tian's "Prison Break" successfully and stabilized his position. At the same time, he gained the trust of the board of directors.

Even though he was dissatisfied with the promotional strategy of "Running Man" this time, he firmly stood on Chen Tian's side.

"Okay, thank you for your belief. I also hope the result will not disappoint us. Although many people should expect failure, I believe it still won't." Chen Tian has great confidence in the quality of "Running Man".

But I still have some concerns in my heart, especially when it is about to premiere.

Although variety shows, especially reality shows in the United States, have become very popular in recent years, they are essentially focusing on reality shows for ordinary people.

Only talk shows will focus on celebrity artists and other public figures, so many experts from the outside world are not optimistic about this show.

“I have two hours left and I’m ready to drink some red wine and slowly wait for it to begin.

Justin, you must know that in order to enjoy the joy he brings me like ordinary audiences, I have not read even a little content before."

"Then you'd better not just drink and watch, otherwise I'm not responsible if an unexpected situation occurs." Chen Tian said with a smile.

A few simple words reduced Chen Tian’s worries a lot.

"Are you finished calling?" Scarlett, dressed in home clothes, walked in.

Chen Tian, ​​who had just returned to the United States, did not go to his villa, but returned to Chinatown.

After leaving the United States for more than two months, he missed Grandma Wang very much.

When I was not famous before, I always had a lot of time to accompany me, but now I can only communicate by phone if I am busy all day long.

However, what Chen Tian didn't expect was that when he just came back here today, he found that Scarlett was here, which moved him very much.

"I'm done with the meal, wait for dinner, I think we can watch TV together. Of course..."

"Of course it's your show, I know! But grandma probably won't like it..."

Scarlett's tone was very tactful. Although she wanted to support the show as soon as possible, she was more inclined to be the first.

Chen Tian patted his head: "It seems that I have forgotten it. You are still thinking very comprehensively, so let's watch it with my grandma."

While Chen Tian, ​​Scarlett and Grandma Wang's family were having dinner, the outside world's discussions and expectations about "Running Man" reached its peak before the broadcast.

"Variety Show" reporter even interviewed Josh Ghosn, the host of CBS "Big Brother".

In the face of the reporter's interview, Josh Ghosn, who is the current host of the variety show "Big Brother", said: "The whole world is discussing Justin's first variety show "Breast Nningman". From the name of the show, it seems to be a running man, but I can't imagine how the show will be blamed.

And our show seems to have become cannon fodder, and it seems I should be worried and depressed, but I'm sorry I didn't.

After all, our program has been aired for so many years and has a stable audience. I don’t think it will have a greater impact on us. Instead, I am curious about Justin’s show.

To be honest, I am a fan of Justin, and I think the whole Pacific Ocean can't accommodate his talent.

So I am looking forward to this show. I don’t know how an All-Star reality show will be produced, but the show is so few trailers until now, which makes me want to be in advance until some situations are ruined.

Moreover, this does not conform to Justin's usual style, but if you think about it carefully, it must be Justin Chen's different propaganda method, which makes everyone feel that he has no confidence.

In fact, this will give the public the mentality that this program may not be very good, and this mentality will undoubtedly give rise to the idea of ​​many people watching this program.

If I weren't a Justin fan, I think I would have like many people, like to see how bad the variety show, which brings together six superstars, will it become Justin's Battle of Waterloo.

As long as everyone thinks this way, there is no doubt that everyone will be successfully trapped by Justin Chen, like putting a piece of cheese there. Even though they know there may be a trap, everyone can't help but get it."

The reporter of "Variety Show" did not expect that the host of "Big Brother", who is obviously a competitor, was actually a fan of Chen Tian, ​​which disappointed him. What he and many media were looking forward to was attack rather than compliment.

However, not everyone is very friendly to Chen Tian. As one of his competitors, James Spider, starring "Boston Law", is not so friendly. He once won the Best Actor at the Cannes International Film Festival for "Sex, Lies and Video Tapes", is a person who has strong confidence and a little racism from the bottom of his bones.

“I know he has some talent, but that doesn’t make him the first place.

No one is born to succeed, and I think he is far from being so confident. Now he looks a bit like a clown.

Of course I am not discriminating against clowns. It is a job and we should respect it, but I think he regards the entertainment industry as the ball in his hands.

It is not about gaining the trust of the audience through absolute technology, but about other means.

Just like his movies, to be honest, there is almost nothing I particularly agree with. Of course I know he doesn't need my approval.

I won’t pay attention to the launch of "Breast Nningman", I just care whether my performance has been recognized by the audience.

Even if it succeeds, I don't think it's the success of the show. If we give Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Natalie Portman, Jessica Alba and Wentworth Miller, our audience can easily exceed 10 million, and we can even drive "24 Hours" out of the No. 1 position."

Many loyal audiences of "Boston Law" all agree with James Spader's statement.

Danny Watt is his hard-core supporter. He expressed his views clearly on Yahoo, Google, and Facebook: "I wouldn't watch that show. If I could, I would consider watching on-demand on weekends, but I would rather go out and play a game than I would."

However, Danny Watt's speech was quickly responded to by many people. Just as he was fighting fiercely with others, he chose to surrender.

Because his girlfriend, Gris, is a big fan of Tom Cruise. She is very much looking forward to Tom Cruise's debut on the screen reality show, although she is also worried that the show will ruin Tom Cruise's perfect image in her heart.

"This is just a reality show that speculates on the concept of celebrities. Will those celebrities show us like ordinary people?

It’s better to watch “Survivor”, “Big Brother”, or “American Idol” than to watch such a show,” Danny Water said with great depression.

"You can choose not to watch it, then I will find a place to watch this show." Gris' forced decision made Danny Walt choose to compromise temporarily.

"Running Man" has many fans across the United States, and many people chose to sit in front of the TV in order to support their idols.

However, many people are thinking in their minds that if the show is not good, they will no longer support it next time, and they don’t want to see their idol perform poorly in the show.

It is getting closer and closer at 8:30. It is getting closer and closer to the premiere of "Running Man".

Viewers who are watching NBC TV programs can see that the countdown to the premiere of "Running Man", which appeared last week, has reached nearly 60 seconds.

As the official veteran of Chen Tian’s fan team, Roger and Alice naturally called on all Chen Tian’s fans to watch "Running Man" while sitting in front of the TV and waiting for the start.

With Roger in New York, Alice, Chen Tian and Scarlett, who spanned the entire United States, were also sitting on the sofa. However, the TV was not playing NBC, but Grandma Wang liked programs from local TV stations in Los Angeles.

"How do you think about this? I'll call NBC for me. I want to see how good my grandson's program is. I asked my neighbors to watch this program a few days ago. I can't stop watching it myself.

It must be very good. Although I am old, my heart is not old at all." Grandma Wang, who walked out of the room, said to Chen Tian and Scarlett.

Original: "Grandma is right."

"Grandma, you don't have to accommodate me..."

Grandma Wang directly interrupted Chen Tian: "I really want to see whoever accommodates you. Don't think I don't like it when I'm old. Hurry up."
