The latest episode of "Friends" season 5, which was broadcast in early November, although it was just a very ordinary first episode, but it still attracted some attention in the Hollywood circle. Not to mention, the ratings of more than 17 million are enough to surprise many people. This was not when it first started in 1994, nor was it about to end. It was just a few episodes at the beginning of the new season, and there were many strong competitors.

In this case, it is generally quite good to have 15 million viewers, and now it has reached 17 million in one fell swoop, which is enough to prove the weight of the latest episode. If this is just a single example and cannot be fully proved, then the 8 million viewers after this episode is replayed is completely enough.

Many popular TV series will choose to replay it at the time, and they also achieved good ratings during replay, but at most it is a little more than one-third of the premiere. However, this episode of "Friends" reached 8 million viewers during replay, almost half of it. If ABC's "Who Want to Be a Millionaire" was not in front, he might have become the ratings champion that night.

So, no one will deny the excellence of this episode, and Sean, who plays Casapa, has officially entered people's eyes as an actor.

"This is a very interesting new character," "maybe it will be as memorable as Janice." Such words are constantly appearing in newspapers and magazines. Although these are mixed in commentary on the new episode of Friends, and these media are not on the front line, for newcomers like Sean, it is already quite a lot of attention.

The fans' reaction was more direct. A couple living in San Diego thought the new role was excellent when they were interviewed by NBC reporters.

"I think he's cute, very cute," said the woman in her twenties named Kelly.

"He is very interesting, a little clumsy, can't figure out official and private affairs, and has the truth in exaggeration." The man named Conle said a little more.

A movie fan in Minnesota who was just watching it in detail: "He is like a common friend around him, always worried about gains and losses, and doesn't want to give up anything, but he doesn't know what to do, so he has to delay the mistakes, so I like him very much."

"Most of us like him," concluded the owner of a cafe near Central Park in Manhattan.

The Internet is even more lively. In the forum on the official website, some people even launched a vote, hoping that the producer would keep the character and make him and Rachel a pair. This seemingly fantasy topic unexpectedly won the approval of many people. You should know that Ross and Rachel have always been the most supported pair of movie fans. When Ross returned after the cafe was closed, the scene of kissing Rachel in the end received quite good reviews.

The reason for this is that on the one hand is that fans are very dissatisfied with the end of the fourth season. They think that Ross is obviously going to get married, but he still looks like he has feelings for Rachel, which is very annoying. On the other hand, it is because the character Kasapa is designed very well. Female audiences think he is cute because he is often teased by Rachel, while male audiences do not hate because of his performance of the details that are close to life. It is not easy to be liked by female audiences at the same time and not hated by male audiences.

Although this is due to the screenwriter who designed the role, it cannot reach this level without Sean's interpretation. Therefore, when the next episode aired on Thursday of the next week, the ratings rose directly to 18 million people!

"To this cup, to our Sean, thank God for bringing him to us." David Crane raised his glass to smile at the people around him, smiling.

"Hey, David, I don't call God." Eric Reese reminded next to him.

"Of course you are not, you are just a messenger of God." Crane then changed into a teasing tone, and everyone laughed.

Then, led by Kran, several people turned to look at Shaun.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." Sean's speech was very simple, but with his expression, he still sounded very sincere.

As for the wine in the glass, well, the law stipulates that under the age of 21 cannot drink in public, and this is a party and a private residence, so it is no longer included. Then again, even if the party is held in a bar, no one cares about his drinking. I don’t know how many times have this law been ridiculed by Americans, especially young Americans.

"You did a great job, Sean, you are the most promising newcomer I have ever met." After drinking a few drinks, Crane, who was holding Sean and talking privately, patting his shoulder.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, David." Although this has been said many times, Sean always said it sincerely.

"You got it yourself," David waved his hand, "You know I almost gave up at the beginning, but fortunately Eric recommended you."

Then he changed the subject: "Maybe we should let this character stay in front of the screen for a longer time?"

Sean raised his eyebrows in surprise. He knew that there was a vote on the official website of Friends, which was about the plot direction. At the end of the previous episode, Casapa confessed to Rachel that he would agree to a date, mainly to recommend the outdated outfit to her, but through these few contacts, he had fallen in love with her, and Rachel was extremely entangled.

Then, because of the high ratings of these two episodes, the producer listed two options "Rachelle Forgive Casapa" and "Rachelle Not Forgive Casapa" on the official website, allowing movie fans to judge. When there is no Internet, the producers of the TV series use various ways to listen to the audience's opinions and modify them according to their views, trying to deepen the audience's sense of participation and attract more people to watch.

Although this vote has only been listed for two days, the person who chose the previous item has far exceeded the latter item, so the other party’s meaning is self-evident.

But before Sean's thoughts were over, a voice came in: "Hey, David, shouldn't you talk to me about this kind of thing?"

Then, the smiling Frederick appeared in front of the two of them, and at the same time blocked Crane: "It is not a good idea to tell my client privately."

"I just mentioned Fred to Sean," Crane said as if nothing had happened, "I never expected to get around you."

Frederick laughed, gave Sean a look of "I'll handle it" and walked elsewhere on Crane's shoulder.

Sean shook his head with a laugh. That guy was indeed very suitable for the profession of agents, and his sense of smell was more sensitive than anyone else. Looking around, he couldn't help but sigh. This was a very ordinary party, so Jennifer and the others did not attend. Naomi said she was unwilling to come with him, and there were not many people in the party, so she was quite bored here alone.

Unexpectedly, Frederick came back a few minutes later: "Okay, it's all done."

"So quickly?" Sean was a little surprised.

"Of course, everyone knows how much time can they spend? After signing two episodes, the one-episode pay is $5,000, I finally earned $1,000 from you. It's so gratifying." Fred, who was smiling and dancing, teasingly.

"Wow, 5000 episodes per." Sean took a deep breath.

"If he is willing to renew another episode, I'm sure to double the pay." Frederick was a little proud, "But this is also very good. Four episodes basically account for one fifth of a season. Isn't every newcomer able to achieve such results? This is a very solid step."

He stopped when he said this, and then squeezed his eyes. Sean knew what the words he didn't say later: Do you still remember what I said to you? It's valuable, and they will pursue you.

Well, that's true. If you don't perform well and get the likes of the audience, it's hard to say whether there is a sequel or not. Probably, there is no vintage and fortune fair, like Hollywood.

At this moment, Frederick's voice sounded again: "Do you want to take revenge?"

"Huh?" After a moment of silence, Sean looked at him. In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass door in the distance, Philip Rosenthal, the founder, screenwriter and producer of "Everyone Loves Raymond", who had met once, and was a filmmaker.

He couldn't help but frown. Sean was not a generous person, nor had such a broad mind. He had to stretch his right face over when he was slapped in the left face. If he had the chance to look good to some people, he would never let him go. But... this has nothing to do with Rosenthal, right?

"Don't worry, I don't plan to target Philip, nor can I target him, but sometimes I just need to make a little bit of provocation." Frederick smiled, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, then walked away first.

--------

"Hey, Phil, are you here to attend this party, too?" When Rosenthal finished talking with the two of them, a voice came from the side.

"Why can't I come to this party, Fred?" Rosenthal asked curiously.

"Because I saw David just now, David Crane." Frederick looked a little owed to be beaten.

"This is not a party held by NBC or Warner, and I'm sorry, I've met David before and congratulated him." Rosenthal shrugged.

"Is that?" Frederick showed a shocked expression, and then became disappointed, but soon returned to normal. "Okay, but if you left the person I recommended, you should be showing off to David now."

"Oh?" Rosenthal was puzzled.

"You forgot?" Frederick raised his eyebrows, turned around and waved to the distance, "Hey, Sean."

"What's wrong, Fred?" A young man walked over.

"Let me introduce it, this one is..." Frederick was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Mr. Philip Rosenthal, I know, we have met once." The young man smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Rosenthal."

"Hello, Mr. Tang." Rosenthal's brow frowned.

He knew that the other party went to the "Friends" crew after leaving the crew of "Everyone Loves Raymond". The news has been circulating. He also remembered reading the other party's information. Although it was a pity, he didn't think too much. At this moment, the other party gave him the feeling of meeting him in person.

"Stop recalling, I pulled him to find you that day." A sharp voice inserted into it, interrupting Rosenthal's thoughts.

"Eric?" He looked at the visitor in surprise.

"Yes, it's me," Eric Reese snorted, "I know you won't remember these things, Philip, you have that stuff to deal with every day, so how can you care about these little things. But the fact is, no matter what Stevenson said to you, no matter what he made, no matter what proof and promise he made, in the end, I'm right."

He said and patted Sean on the shoulder: "I recommend him to David."

"Well... well, you probably have a lot to say, so we won't bother." Frederick seemed to see something, and didn't want to insert it, so he immediately pulled Sean away.

"I'm sorry, Eric, but I'll still make the same choice when they go away." When they walk away, Rosenthal looked at Reese and said this.

"Don't get me wrong, Philip, I don't mean to blame you," Reese raised his hands beyond his expectations. "You have to think a lot, I totally understand, but-"

He smiled, with complacentness, like a winner: "No matter what, it turns out that I am right."

After saying that, Reese left without looking back, only Rosenthal stood there and frowned.
