The Best Director

"Hey! Did you watch "The Big Bang Theory" last night? It's so interesting. "In youthful schools, bright offices and other places, this sentence has become the latest way to say hello and the latest topic of chat among many friends and colleagues: " After watching it, Wang Yang really did not disappoint!", "Sheldon is so funny! I definitely like that actor.", "Look at my blog! I wrote a review, haha, just think about it. Want to laugh. "...

"There really is string theory! The coolest show I've ever seen.

"The geeky nerds in T, T, A and other universities are laughing and joking. "mLT-21-Team" has made the mathematics, statistics, econometrics and other departments shine. Now it is finally the turn of the physics department! This series is only available now. Although the two-episode new drama has not yet become widely known, it has already attracted countless die-hard fans, including IT practitioners in Silicon Valley, and many employees at GGE, Google, Yahoo, etc. laughed and discussed it. They are more or less IT professionals. It’s the geek: “Yeah! Amazing Young's cameo was so funny and the force attack was a great idea. ", "When do you think Google will change? "

In the "office" of Google's headquarters with a governance index of o.2, a golden retriever dog walks around. Some people are writing programs on computer desks, some are playing guitars, some are playing game consoles, and there are still a group of people sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and laughing. "The Big Bang Theory", "EverQuest" appeared in the first two episodes, and "gge" appeared several times. They don't know if it counts as product placement; now, Magic Yang has become the boss of Google, and Google has such a strong momentum. , they believe it will appear in "TBBT" sooner or later: "I think Wang Yang will make fun of Brin and Page's interview with "Playboy"," "Haha!"...

"Many scientific theories in it are very interesting..." I feel like Wang Yang is laughing at us. "There are also a lot of discussions about "TBBT" on high school campuses across the United States. The high school nerds who originally watched "Geeks and Geeks" are already college students. Now the new nerds only know about the new drama "The Big Bang Theory." Some people were happy and excited, while others were neurotic and indignant: “It seems like he has never been bullied by those rubbish before. ", "He is very good at fighting, but he laughs at nerds? Asian? It's certainly not that. "

"Please! You really don't know anything about Magic Yang. He is a geek! You should check out his blog. A few days ago, he even exposed his comic book collection; he also plays "World of Warcraft" , I just don’t know what the character’s nickname is…”

"Eternal Enemy No. 7, haha! I wonder if Sheldon will like "Firefly" in the future?", "Yesterday's two episodes were so exciting, I just went to ImdB and gave them a 9.5 score." "The Big Bang Theory" "has alarmed geek groups across the United States. In addition to schools and the IT industry, animation industries such as Blue Sky Studio, comics staff, etc.... countless people are excited and worried that it will be cut. If "The Big Bang Theory" is lost, 》, it’s like going back to the dark Middle Ages!

That’s not all. If Miracle Young fails, what other film studio channel will dare to try a geek-themed comedy? Anyway, they couldn't think of anything that could be more funny and attractive: "Who are the prototypes of Sheldon and the others?", "I have to leave a message on Magic Young's blog to ask about the possibility of Sheldon Penny!"... …

But is "The Big Bang Theory" only loved by nerds and geeks? What about other audience groups? What were its opening ratings?

"How much?", "Is it over 10,000?", "Where's 18-49?" Just like the headquarters Rockefeller Center building at this time, the entertainment department was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. Everyone asked each other to find out the latest news. What's the ratings report? It seems that the average number of viewers in the two episodes exceeded the target of 10,000, and someone else said it exceeded 10,000.

Some said it was not a surprise, while others said it was a surprise. These uncertainties made them even more uneasy.

The results of the pilot and internal pilots of "Joy" were not very good. According to normal procedures, the most loyal "Friends" viewers and non-"Friends" viewers were invited to do internal evaluations. Both groups of people of different ages were very interested. , even many people directly say that it is "boring", but they all know very well that this series really cannot afford to take on the important role, it just consumes the last popular resources of "Friends". If it is not used now, it will expire soon; after all, advertisers I really like "Joy" there, but there aren't any good new dramas. It's just a stopgap measure to try my luck.

"The Big Bang Theory" has that kind of championship temperament, either "The Invincible" or "Black Hawk Down". They chose to put their treasure on it. Can they keep Thursday pm8:-8:, can they beat cBs? Dramas such as "Two and a Half Men" have become the new favorites of the public! Everything depends on it!

"Hoo! Miraculous Yang, Magic Yang, Magic Yang..." The ratings report for Thursday's September issue was placed on his desk yesterday, but Kevin Ruili didn't open it for a long time and watched it. He muttered as if by magic. Miraculous Yang pulled the tie knot in front of his neck. The weather in New York was getting colder as the month entered, but he felt hot all over his body, and his heart was beating very fast and heavy. Is Miracle Young's law still valid? Just look at this if you are successful!

"God bless!" Kevin gritted his teeth and slowly opened the blue document, then closed it again! I was so nervous, a drop of cold sweat slipped down from my forehead, as if I saw a word starting with "2" and it also said high-level restructuring, promotion, 1 dismissal, bonus, villa mortgage... Kevin Ruili suddenly opened the document and read it, After remaining expressionless for a while, he took a long breath, leaned back on the chair and pressed his forehead, oh-d! He shook his head and laughed: "1 It works quite well..."

"T-orks! IT=11-orks! Ha!" Seeing this ratings report, the new group member Anne Sweeney was overjoyed. Naturally, it was not because of the poor ratings of the three programs on the prime time channel last night, which averaged 10,000, but Yes, the "1 Magic Young Law" is still valid! !

21.28 million! Ten thousand! "The Big Bang Theory" achieved a huge success in opening ratings, with an average of 21.99 million for two episodes! The highest ratings of the night occurred at the end of the second episode, which was a scene in a Chinese restaurant where Young, Bradley and Cooper guest-starred. It was watched by 23.65 million viewers across the United States! However, the most surprising thing is that the number of viewers in the 18-49 age group has reached an exaggerated height! They are 15/23 and 16/24 points respectively!

A set of data can illustrate how excited everyone is at this moment. The average viewership of the first season of "Friends" in the 1994-95 season was 880,000. The peak of season O1-O2 ranked first in the year with 10,000 viewers. The tenth season last year was 840,000. ; The second ace "Will \u0026 Grace" averaged 10,000 in the 98-99 season, and last year's sixth season; the ace "Everybody Loves Raymond" of CBS, the biggest enemy, had an average of 10,000 in the 96-97 season, and last season had 10,000 this year. Finished; "Two and a Half Men" averaged 10,000 last season.

"Prison Break" killed two CBS sitcoms on Monday. Now "Prison Break" fans, "Friends" fans, Magic Young fans... all gathered on Thursday, giving "The Big Bang Theory" the energy to explode when it first aired. ! The ratings for the second episode were higher than those for the first episode, indicating that viewers who had finished the first episode continued to watch, and new viewers switched channels! It doesn't matter if it's to see the amazing director lead the "Hangover" army to make guest appearances. The high 18-49 ratings mean high advertising costs!

Today, when the production cost of drama series is getting higher and higher, and everything is required to be more sophisticated, it is really rare to be able to use this old-fashioned multi-camera sitcom to create the best launch results of sitcoms and drama series in recent years! It seems that "The Big Bang Theory" has perfectly and firmly caught the baton of "Friends", continuing the tradition of "One Week of Comedy Nights" and becoming another must-see series for young Americans, right?

Although there is a magic law, it seems that we cannot yet draw a conclusion on this. It seems that we will not know until the third episode, the fourth episode... or even the end of the entire season. But now, everyone is enjoying this joy, except netbsp; cBs In the Black Rock Building of the headquarters, the Entertainment Department was enveloped in a depressing gloom, just like the second day after "Prison Break" aired last year, and the conference room filled with high-level people was silent.

If you look at yesterday's ratings alone, CBS shouldn't be so depressed, because "The Big Bang Theory" was only ranked second, and the champion was pm9:-:'s "The Apprentice" Season 2 only had 10,000 viewers; pm:: -11: Isn't Wan of "The Story of the Emergency Room" the same as Wan of "Chapter Survivor" at eight o'clock?

"1 We need capable producers like Wang Yang, we need new sitcoms and new support.

"Nancy Telem said slowly, as if she had aged a few years overnight. The managers on both sides of the conference table nodded silently. Missed it, completely missed it! They had a chance to get the magic, as long as they were determined enough. , now there is no "Prison Break", no Monday Champions; no "Big Bang Theory", no new era of sitcoms; maybe no "Desperate Housewives".

"Everybody Loves Raymond" is coming to an end, "Two and a Half Men" is not mature enough, what else do they have? Nancy Tellem looked at the files and saw some new subscription plans for the coming year, "How I Met Your Mother," "The Doctor," and "Chasing Alexa." How are they?

"1 Yeah!" and "Wow!" Thunderous applause rang out in the entertainment department conference room. Kevin Riley, Paul Jones and others all cheered excitedly. As long as they hug Miyang tightly, what wonderful thing will it be? The ratings will come! There is no way not to hold on. There is no hope for the dramas on Friday and Saturday, and the old dramas on Sunday will not suddenly explode. The ranking of prime time dramas at the end of the week: "Prison Break", "The Big Bang Theory", "The Apprentice" with declining ratings, "ER" with declining ratings...

"Yang, tell us? Do you have any ideas for other series? If the ratings of "The Big Bang Theory" reach that high, will you produce another one?" After some cheers and celebrations, Kevin Ruili said again Once, Wang Yang was lured to have a phone call in Los Angeles, and a group of department managers who were laughing so hard that they couldn't see their eyes also helped: "Yang, let's do another one!", "We will also take down Wednesday next season. !" Kevin Ruili smiled and said, "We will agree to whatever you want." The meeting room burst into laughter.

"1Thank you, guys, thank you. I really appreciate it." Hearing what they said, Wang Yang was a little bit dumbfounded. Producer and main director are almost at their limit in creating two scripts. Unless they don't make a movie, or don't take a vacation to rest and spend time with their family, otherwise Have so much time? He loves work, but he will never go so crazy that he doesn't care about life, not to mention that he has major plans to have a baby next year. He smiled and said: "I am very happy to achieve this result. Let's find a way to maintain it first!"

Another problem with too many plans is that you are likely to mess everything up. The more work, the better. The best is the combination of work and rest, and a happy life. However, Wang Yang is not optimistic that "The Big Bang Theory" can retain all of the 21.99 million viewers. After reaching highs, there will inevitably be a decline. Although it has reached its peak of maturity and every episode in the future is the highlight, this subject matter is more popular. People's love also requires time accumulation and cooperation with the times. It would be very, very satisfying if the average ratings of the first season can be maintained, but he believes that as geeky elements such as blogs, Google, and video games play an increasingly important role in people's lives, the ratings will also increase. .

Kevin Yirui didn't want to let this Santa Claus go easily. He smiled at the conference call: "Then even if you don't make it, you still want to give us some gifts?" Wang Yang asked: "What gift?" Kevin Yirui said Li smiled straightforwardly and said: "The new drama series of Flame Family Entertainment is the one you like." Amid everyone's laughter, Wang Yang over there pretended to be disappointed: "Oh, I thought you invited me to be on "The Weeknd" "Six Night Live", it was all joy." Kevin Riley quickly shouted: "Of course you can, we can't ask for it!. This is the truth, such a funny and popular magical Yang, why not?

"Okay, I've written it down." Wang Yang smiled and said seriously: "Everyone, if Flame Family Entertainment has any new plans, we will notify bsp as soon as possible; As for whether I am optimistic about it, is it that important? At the beginning "Friends" is not as promising as mine." Looking at the future film and television information database, the ratings of Take the blame.

Now "The Big Bang Theory" has replaced "Joy" and succeeded "Friends", which can be regarded as keeping Thursday comedy nights; however, other drama programs have declined across the board.

"Of course, we believe in your vision! Yang, you really don't have to be humble with us." Kevin Riley's enthusiastic and low-profile attitude has almost reached the bottom line. In fact, don't they know? However, except for the effective promotion of magic, there is nothing else that can be done at the moment, so we have to embrace these young people and beg for more drama programs in vain. Everyone laughed in agreement, why should we be modest? If you are not humble, you are not humble! His performance on the screen is simply more magical than on the big screen!

Wang Yang couldn't do anything about them. At least he was happy to cooperate now and became closer to the Flame Group. He smiled and said: "Let's talk about this topic later. I just want to finish today's editing work and go home from get off work. Then you guys You know, the weekend is coming.”

How could you not know? Maybe Yang Mingqing was thinking about spending time with his wife to enjoy the weekend, while Kelly and others were thinking about how "Desperate Housewives" will be aired on Sunday, March 3. What will happen to this series with a magical aura? The launch results? Ten thousand? Ten thousand?

"We are not surprised at all that "The Big Bang Theory" received this score, and we believe that its potential is far more than this. It is a comedy with capabilities." In a routine media reception, female spokesperson Libby Carmax seemed to be infected by the habits of Young and Sheldon. She was very immodest and said in order to unite the audience: "On Thursday, we have gone through a happy and sweet new year with everyone. "The Big Bang Theory" will continue to Bring joy and more joy to every audience, and let’s go into the next year together.”

Can let. With such rude words, Qi Zhan achieved a strong rating of 21.99 million on average for two episodes; another Qi Zhan gained a very high reputation from the audience precisely because of "The Big Bang Theory"! Naturally, it has something to do with the fact that geeks love the Internet and fall in love with ImdB. "Freaks and Nerds" scored 9.3, and "The Big Bang Theory" scored 9.5 after two episodes (8962 users)! "Band of Brothers" is tied for third place in history, but the ImdB TV series rating user base is too small. A score of 9.5 can only show the popularity of "TBBT".

Television and film critics from various media such as Yahoo Entertainment, the New York Post, and the Washington Post also gave their own answers; there are also many drama fans on rating websites, drama forums, etc. Expressed evaluation views.

"After only watching the first two episodes, I knew this was the funniest and smartest TV show in the past few decades. It shows how to use scientific theories and various aspects of cultural knowledge to satirize and tell jokes, etc. Wonderful! Not everyone will be able to enjoy it, but it's a unique, clever, and addictive series that I really can't wait to see next episode, every week. See it!" user asabe1p said.
