Chapter 254: Great Confidence and Interest

"Prison Break has brought great surprises. In recent days, I have heard many invitations and encouraged me to try to make sitcom sounds, which moved me very much. Because I am also a person who grew up watching TV. TV series such as "Knight Rider", "Friends" accompanied me in my growth. They brought me countless beauty and happiness, which is of great significance to me.

Now I am lucky enough to play another role. "Prison Break" is expected to grow up with millions of cute young people. It turns out that this feeling is very wonderful. Let's try to bring laughter to everyone again? In any case, everyone's enthusiasm and support have given me a huge confidence and interest in TV shows. If "Prison Break" episode 3 has more than 20 million viewers, I will make a sitcom, which is no joke! See you next Tuesday, thank you."

The latest declaration of Shenqi Yang! The media public just thought he had become modest, and a calm and arrogant declaration was released. Since it was a blog log, only the online media that had been updated quickly reprinted and reported it. tv.*** said: "Yang wants to use the promise of a new drama to drive the ratings of "Prison Break", and his words show his extraordinary confidence." Yahoo Entertainment said: "'Great Confidence and Interest', Shenqi Yang wants to dominate the prime time of TV?"...

There are new dramas for 20 million viewers. Are there no 19,999,999 people? Is this a threat to the audience?

Fans of drama fans responded to this, with many surprises in the comments on the blog post, and a few disdain. Papamurrth said: "Great! I like this gameplay, I will definitely watch the third episode! I believe it will bring a new drama." Alexey said: "I was relieved and can start looking forward to it! What kind of show will it be?" Blade said: "You said yes, you said no, who cares?" Tarikt said: "I hope to see "Prison Break" reaching, and then the new sitcom is not funny at all."...

But some people care. In addition to countless fans of the drama, what was even more surprising was NBC. The ratings of "Prison Break" exceeded 20 million, and Shenqiyang made a new drama. These are the two things they urgently need and dream of. Now there is one and two!

Can Fantasy Young make a hilarious and classic sitcom? If you encounter this problem, Kevin Rayley, president of NBC Entertainment Department, Paul Jones, entertainment production department and others will nod seriously: "Yes, must." Why? Or the neat answer: "Because he is Fantasy Young."

When September 15-21 becomes the past, a new Monday comes, and the first week of autumn 2003-04 came to an end, and the ace drama programs on major channels have returned to air. In this week's ratings week rankings, the top ranking is CBS's "CSI" on Thursday, with a total of 24.17 million viewers and a 15/23 viewers; the second CBS's "Survivor: Pearl Islands" on Thursday, 21.67 million, 12/21; the third NBC's "Friends" on Thursday, 21.16 million, 13.5/21...

"Prison Break" entered the top ten with 18.4 million viewers, 10.4/18 premiere, ranking fifth, becoming one of the three seats in the top ten in NBC, and the other seat was 19.14 million, 12/18 "The Story of the Emergency Room".

Although some popular variety shows such as "American Idol" will not come back until next spring, and the year cannot be judged by the first week, it is ranked among the top five in the first week of broadcasting! This is undoubtedly one of the best NBC series launch results in the past decade, especially in recent years, it has been suppressed by CBS, and finally got proud! The current senior executives are naturally overjoyed, and they have no mistake in their trust in Shenqiyang!

Let’s look at the comments of media and magazines who use words such as “creative”, “revolutionary”, and “newest” to evaluate “Prison Break”. This is not the result of “making momentum”. Of course, NBC Group’s own publicity system is also taking the opportunity to praise it, but from the president to the sweeping aunt, everyone knows that “Prison Break” is a treasure, a big treasure that can enter the 20 million audience club.

"We thank everyone in the "Prison Break" team, and thanks to Shen Qiyang, who always brings exciting surprises." NBC Entertainment President Kevin Rayley happily told the media that he laughed at the latest situation to boost ratings: "We have confirmed that we will book the second season of "Prison Break" for the entire season, and Young will continue to serve as the chief creator and editor, and everything will be listened to him, haha!"

Speaking of magical Young and the sitcom, Kevin Rayleigh laughed happily: "We're working hard, we're all looking forward to it, and we're convinced that Young can bring more surprises and excellent works."

On Monday night on September 22, pm9:00, CBS's "Everyone Loves Raymond" continued to broadcast the second episode of the eighth season, and NBC also continued to release the third episode of the first season of "Prison Break". Countless drama fans were looking forward to it for a week, and were entangled in the brain for a week. They kept the tension and excitement for a week, wanting to quickly go forward to the third episode of this week! The TV of thousands of households in North America called "on" and then rang out: "previously-on-prison-break."

Hearing Wentworth Miller's magnetic voice, the audience on the chair and on the sofa suddenly felt refreshed, and some female fans were already "wow"; not including Rachel, she ate a peeled apple, opened her eyes slightly, and said vaguely: "The toes are gone, the toes are gone."

I saw that on the TV screen, when the gangsters were about to cut off Michael Schofield's toes, a sudden shout of stopping sounded, but they didn't cut it off! Rachel was stunned for a moment, rolled up her tongue with apple shavings, and laughed: "Oh, I understand, it turns out that it means to walk." It seems that the prison guards in the prison are not that useless, so what will happen next?

Many viewers had just breathed a sigh of relief, and a week of suspense fell into their minds. After a few minutes, a new crisis came. They also entered a state of inability to stop and thrilling to the point of being satisfied. I don’t know if the pace of the third episode was faster than the second episode, or the tension had accumulated to a certain level, and the audience found that they could not turn on the stage for a second.

Even when it comes to advertising time, people dare not turn around, for fear of missing a second and missing the result of the plot suspense before the advertising. Facts have proved that the third episode of "Prison Break" is lower than the premiere, and the idea that the premiere is just a scam is unnecessary; they only have the atmosphere of other episodes that lay the foundation for more than a dozen episodes, and the ending episode of a season, and this is just the third episode!

I don’t know if time passes very quickly when it’s nervous. The danger of nervousness comes back, the suspense, the advertisement comes back... Until the ending subtitles roll up, countless viewers swallowed a mouthful of relaxed saliva.

"Oh my God, I'll have to wait another week before I can see the fourth episode!!", "If "Prison Break" now comes out DVD, I'll buy it all for 500 yuan per set!", "Why don't I know Shenqiyang? I really envy his friends, I will definitely watch it in advance!"... The drama fans all left the sofa with murmurs, and Rachel from Toronto also shouted, savoring the plot of the third episode and the final suspense, and whispered: "Awesome."

She glanced at the phone on the coffee table, slowly stretched out her hand, her face showed a struggle, and said to herself, "I'm going to be a foul again? Nono... Something unfortunate happened!" She turned off the TV with the remote control, got up and walked towards the room, thinking to herself, "If there is any sitcom next year, will I be finished? But the sitcom seems to have no suspense, so that's fine..."

The first season of "Prison Break" is scheduled for the entire season, with the third episode of continuous high quality and the golden paint sign of Fantasy Yang. Audiences have reason to believe that this level will be until the last episode after the winter break next year, and it will even get better and better. This is really crazy.

There was a lot of discussion on various drama forums, not only the suspense in the drama brought by "Prison Break", but also the "ratings suspense" brought by outside the drama. There is only one topic that many fans are most concerned about, that is, the extremely exciting third episode has more than 20 million viewers? Just add 1.6 million viewers! You can see the happy "Magic Yang New Drama" next season.

Just as overseas netizens in mainland China and other places were eager to wait for the third episode resources, waiting for the subtitles to be translated, and returning to the tense and exciting world, the ratings report No. 22 monitored by Nelson was sent to various TV stations.

Looking at the document on the table, many senior TV station executives took a deep breath, their faces were nervous because of the same person and different mentality. NBC needs no need to say more; CBS, abc, fox and other channels definitely don't want to see Shenqi Yang enter the sitcom again, which will upset the market. Finally, welcoming "Friends" ended and welcomed the "most humorous director in history"? No--!

Different bright offices, Nancy Terum, president of CBS Entertainment Department, opened the file, Robert Eagle, president of ABC Entertainment Department, opened the file, Kevin Rayleigh, president of NBC Entertainment Department, opened the file... If there is any TV camera, it is like an award ceremony, Nancy Terum pressed his forehead and leaned back; Robert Eagle silently chanted his lips, as if it was the beginning of F; Kevin Rayleigh glared, and his fists clenched and jumped up: "yes!yes!yes!"

21.36 million viewers!! 12.5/20 ratings!!

The third episode of "Prison Break" continues to sit at the top of the ratings rankings on Monday, far ahead of the second place "CSI: Miami"'s 18.6 million, and the third place "Everyone Loves Raymond" with 15.18 million! It surpassed the opening figures of "Friends" last week, setting a new NBC viewership record for this season, and directly catching up with "CSI" with 24.17 million viewers in the series CBS!!

The hard-working publicity and hype, perfect reputation and drama quality, the "magic director" energy that finally exploded not only retained the 18.4 million viewers that were premiered, but also attracted 2.96 million new viewers to join, but most of them were young people! This time, NBC was really favored by the goddess of luck, Santa Claus, and God at the same time!!

"20 million!!20 million!! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha-" Kevin Rayley laughed like a madness attack. Anyway, there was no one else in the office, so excited that he hit his chest with his hands: "Hahahaha-" Such a successful episode deal, he didn't want to be the president of NBC, or any other channel, or the president of a film company, it was a bit difficult!

He kept laughing, twisting the red tie on his chest, and he felt his blood burning, full of vitality and motivation! Not only is the starring actor of "Prison Break" who has a bright future, but he is also!

Suddenly, Kevin Rayley gradually calmed down again. It was not enough. He had to hold on to the big tree of Fantasy Yang! Now the NBC drama series is youthful and has the momentum to return to the king; but "Friends" is about to end, and it seems that he will lose the title of the sitcom overlord. He really can't put all his hopes on the plan of "Friends"'s legend "Joey". Once the six characters are separated, how much popularity can they maintain? But Fantasy Yang...

NBC will win the premiere of this drama no matter what! Kevin Rayley quickly sat down and picked up the phone on his desk, called Wang Yang, and laughed happily as soon as it was connected: "Hi, Yang! The third episode has been ratings, 21.36 million people watched it! 12.5/20! This is really amazing!"

"Wow!" Wang Yang, who was preparing to go out with Jessica to prepare for the engagement banquet, immediately laughed, clenched his fist with his left hand and waved it down with force. There was no regret now! He smiled and said, "I heard such a great news early in the morning, thank you!"

"We should thank you!" Kevin Rayley sighed repeatedly: "I don't know how to describe my mood, just... Oh my God! But congratulations to you and your team, you have become TV superstars!" Wang Yang smiled and said, "Thank you! 21.36 million viewers, they will be happy." Kevin Rayley immediately asked with a smile: "Now you want to make a sitcom, right? Yang, no matter what the subject, NBC has booked a season! You know our sincerity!"

"Yes, I promised on the blog." Wang Yang nodded with a smile, eager to try the program, full of expectations. He smiled and said, "The third episode will be more than 20 million viewers, so now I will keep my promise and do a sitcom." Seeing Jessica wearing a autumn flower dress coming, he raised a thumbs up, covered his phone, raised his fist and smiled: "21 million!"

"Oh, it's crazy!" Jessica suddenly showed her teeth and a excited smile on her face. She walked quickly to hold his arm and listened to his continued phone call: "I hope it will appear on the screen next season."

While walking outside the house, Wang Yang said seriously: "Of course, I prefer to work with NBC. Jessica and I like "Friends" very much. I am honored to be able to meet its schedule; but to be honest, there are still many things that are not confirmed now, so give everyone some time?"

He knew that in the end, he would usually cooperate with NBC. Flame Group had a lot of business contacts with it. NBC's sincerity was indeed very high and satisfactory. As long as he did not have a TV channel, he would choose NBC. But it was impossible to agree at once. There was too little room for negotiation in all aspects such as that price, contract agreement, etc. If CBS, ABC and other channels were also interested, and if NBC pressure was given, the flame would be more beneficial and more "baby".

"Okay, then what plan do you have? Contact us as soon as possible!" Kevin Rayley naturally understood these rules, which is also a very normal requirement. Shenqiyang is not an "unknown producer". There is only one Shenqiyang in the entire American film and television entertainment industry. It has a box office of 10,000 US dollars and 323 million yuan. There is no defeat in film and television. It has an unrivaled commercial money-making ability.

If CBS, ABC and other channels participate in the competition and are too fierce, NBC can even book the full season without the pilot episode. This is Fantastic Yang's privilege. Thinking of this, Kevin Rayley heard Wang Yang laugh and say, "Kevin, let's do it first? Jessica and I have to choose the engagement cake now, and we will be engaged in two days." Kevin Rayley smiled and said, "Okay, bye!"

After putting down the microphone, Rayleigh shook her head gently. In fact, Shenqiyang didn't need this. What request he made was not agreed to? But this time, CBS and ABC would definitely not make the same mistake again. Rayleigh breathed, fortunately this big tree has a "nbc complex"!

"Yan, Nancy Tellum just called and asked, are you interested in making a sitcom? And ABC, Fox also asked."

Listening to the voice of agent Paul Emory coming from Bluetooth, Wang Yang couldn't help but say, "It's so fast!" Jessica in the passenger seat looked at the slowly regressing street scene outside and chuckled, "No, it's as slow as a tractor now." Wang Yang smiled and stepped on the accelerator, while operating the steering wheel, said, "I understand, I will definitely make it. As for whom I cooperate with, I'll press it first."

After further verification of the ratings of the 22nd, the TV channels released the data one after another. "Prison Break" received 21.36 million viewers! The fans of the drama fans who saw this news on the Internet were very happy for a moment, and many people screamed "ahhhh". The beloved "Prison Break" achieved a huge success! And there will be an unlimitedly anticipated new drama in the next season!

Made "Juno" and "Hangover" first-hand, the most funny best director in history, magical young sitcom!

But he won't go back on his word, right? But the only worry among fans quickly disappeared, and Shen Qiyang never went back on his word. When night fell, a log was finally updated on his blog.
Chapter completed!
