As soon as Su Yan stood up, he was hugged by Jimmy and the others, and his ears were almost deafened by their shouts. It was somewhat similar to the contestants in the immunity competition.
"Calm down, calm down." Su Yan patted their shoulders: "How much?"
The three of them looked at each other.
"8.6 million!"
"Really!?" Su Yan's eyes widened: "You didn't lie to me?"
"Yes, I didn't lie to you." Jimmy waved his fist vigorously and gave the Chinese director a big hug: "We did it, we did it!"
Su Yan's mind went blank for a few seconds. Of course he knew what 8.6 million was.
The highest-rated American TV series has about 18 million viewers. In the United States, it is difficult for variety shows to compete with TV series. Basically, if it can stabilize at 4 million, it can be broadcast as a long-term program.
The audience referred to here is the age group of 18-49, and others are not included.
8.6 million. Even in a TV series, it would rank in the top 20 of the year. Jimmy’s previous talk show results were pretty good, but they were only in the early 6 million. Unless some heavyweight guests are invited, it is possible to break through.
eight hundred.
When an assistant director saw there was beer on the ground, he opened it and the four of them clinked glasses.
What is the most watched program in the United States?
"The Oprah Winfrey Show" has been on the air for 23 years, attracting more than 20 million viewers every week. No one has been able to break it so far. Although it has ended in 11 years, it does not affect its popularity in the hearts of Americans.
status and existence.
"Survivor" is not qualified compared to it.
But to achieve such good results in the first broadcast, Su Yan could imagine that many viewers and media people must be surprised.
After drinking half a bottle of beer, he calmed down.
"What about the reviews? Are there any reviews?"
"Of course!" A curly-haired assistant director took out a few pieces of paper.
Su Yan looked at it and was shocked again.
"F***kidding me" he suddenly said, which made the three of them laugh.
"My reaction just now was the same as yours." Jimmy understood very well.
"Are you sure this Rotten Tomatoes is that Rotten Tomatoes?" Su Yan pointed at a word and asked?
"Yes, that's the one."
No wonder Su Yan was surprised. The huge 91% above was a bit exaggerated.
Rotten Tomatoes' evaluation of a film is based on the evaluations of all certified film critics on the website. The website will determine whether it is good (Fresh Tomatoes) or bad (Rotten Tomatoes) based on the critics' evaluations. The staff uses the overall performance data to decide
Reviews are positive ("fresh" is marked by a bright red tomato) or negative ("rotten" is marked by a green smashed tomato).
If the number of positive reviews exceeds 60%, the work will be considered "fresh", and if it has more than 60% positive reviews, it will be considered rotten.
Quarterly variety shows like "Survivor" are also within their appreciation range.
It is the same at home and abroad. The so-called experts are the most terrifying. They all like to go against the audience and show off their unique vision.
But 91% means that if more than nine out of ten experts like it, it means they really like it.
“There are also excerpts of some people’s comments below, you can take a look!”
Obviously, CBS is quite reliable in doing things. Knowing Su Yan, they definitely want to know the specific situation.
"At first, I thought CBS was making a comedy, letting 20 ordinary people go to an uninhabited island to play games and have a vacation, and then decide on a winner. However, after watching the first episode, I
Surprised! This is simply a microcosm of today’s society.”
"The show was very exciting, without any irritation. It was a big surprise from the beginning. The team structure that the members thought was broken was immediately broken. When we had two minutes to fight for resources, I was nervous along with it. I would think about changing it to another one.
What can I take? I think it’s probably those big roosters!”
"The editor must give praise. It's very good. It's not laggy. After switching shots one by one, it's easy to make people feel what the actual life on the island is like. It's just dividing the contestants by race. Is this really a good idea? I
I doubt it for now."
"Hungry, cold, no campfire, huddled together for warmth, the contestants came to a real wilderness, and found that survival is the theme, Billy! This fat Billy is so cute, he even said he was conserving his energy, isn't it?
Do you know that you have been disliked by other teammates?"
"Tribal competition, elimination, rapid formation under the threat of elimination, various conspiracies, this is a real version of the TV series, there is no script, just like Jimmy said the unknown is the scariest thing, I really want to know how it will develop next.
"
"With only one episode, the program has shown a lot of new ideas, including groupings, competitions, tribal meetings, and eliminations. I don't know what surprises will come next!"
"I've fallen into the trap. I hope there will be new tricks later. I hope it won't just be a competition, but this monotonous process will be eliminated."
Seeing the smile on Su Yan's face, the assistant director was also happy.
"This is just the evaluation of professional film critics. I haven't collected the opinions of the audience yet, but I think it should be good."
No wonder he is confident. There is a lot of content in the first issue, but the most important thing is that the battle between people has not yet begun.
At that time, everyone was still very kind, or they didn't know how to play the game, and the charm of each member had not yet begun to shine.
Ozzy's bravery, Kim's strategizing, Parvati's coquettishness, Old Joe's shrewdness, Pika's arbitrariness, the blue team's curse, Cadiz's four exile islands, the four-person team's counterattack, and other exciting contents, and even
It is expected to exceed 10 million views.
Friday is also a good time in the United States. Not only did "Survivor" win the championship, it even defeated not a variety show, but a TV series.
On the way back to the camp, the assistant director told the TV station's plan. In the next week, they will increase their publicity efforts. As for the program interviews, they will be held in early June. Su Yan will not necessarily come by then, and let Jimmy bring the ones that the audience likes.
As long as the players attend.
...
But in a small town far away in California, USA, Billy woke up and found that there were dozens of missed calls on his phone, from his parents, classmates, friends, boss, and even his ex-girlfriend. He was so scared that something had happened.
thing.
After calling my dad back and chatting for a while, I finally understood.
"Survivor" aired and he became famous.
He didn't tell anyone about participating in the show, he just had a fun mentality, and he had been a homebody since he was a child and had never been abroad. Unexpectedly, he just submitted his resume to give it a try and was selected.
The program team will reimburse the air tickets, and no matter whether they win or lose, they will be rewarded with US$10,000 when they attend the reunion, which is much higher than their current income.
So I took a month off and flew directly to the South Pacific. As a result, the time spent on the road was longer than the time spent living.
The second one was eliminated, which made him embarrassed to tell others what he was going to do. He only said it was traveling! His performance was too poor, so he didn't care too much about when the show would be broadcast.
Strictly speaking, Billy performed well on the first day. His honest appearance made people not hate him, but he was just too lazy, which made him the target of the tribe members.
His family and friends didn't care how he performed on the show, they were just curious about how far he had gone and whether he had received one million US dollars.
Billy told the truth. He signed a confidentiality agreement and could not disclose any relevant content, otherwise he would face high liquidated damages that he might not be able to pay off in his lifetime. He just let them read it.
Actually, there was another reason, and it was a bit embarrassing. After all, he was eliminated the next week, which was nothing. Falling in love at first sight was the biggest problem.
On the way back, he actually asked the staff for Candace's contact information, and was told that they just said it politely and didn't have any other ideas. They didn't even know who you were.
Billy was ready to disappear for a while, it would be so embarrassing.
