"HBO spent 223 million to build the 'Pacific War', which is about to make a grand debut!"

"After nine years after 'Band of Brothers', 'Pacific War' once again set off a frenzy of war-type works!"

"Hanks and Spielberg have teamed up again to create a brutal war story. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The production period lasted for three years, and 'Pacific War' is finally about to officially premiere. ”

"Beyond the expectations of the classics, the 'Pacific War' carries HBO's ambitious ambition to break through itself. ”

"'Confident,' from Steven Spielberg's manifesto. ”

……

The day after the premiere ended, the news about the "Pacific War" spread overwhelmingly, HBO plus Tom, Steven's signboards, not to mention the "Band of Brothers" in front of Zhuyu, "Pacific War" has been in the spotlight since the project stage, after the twists and turns of the early adaptation of the script, the controversy of the mid-term financial preparation, the difficulty of forming the cast in the later stage, after more than three years of long preparation, and now the TV series is finally going to shine, it is no exaggeration to say that the expectations have indeed broken the table.

The grand occasion of last night's premiere made people look forward to it.

"With an inexperienced newcomer leading the starring role, can 'Pacific War' reproduce the style of 'Band of Brothers'?"

"Ranley Hall: A fresh man who appears like a comet in the cast of actors. ”

"Tom Hanks: Blue Rite is the central character in the whole series. ”

……

In comparison, the attention that gathered on Lan Li was really limited. Referring to the experience of "Band of Brothers", in order to show the authenticity and balance of the crew, "Pacific War" did not use big-name stars, so almost all of the actors were unfamiliar faces, and there was no essential difference between newcomers and seventh-tier actors.

What's more, "Pacific War" is a group drama and a TV series, even if Tom and Steven work together to create a production, the focus is destined not to stay on the actors.

Even Damien Lewis of "Band of Brothers" was not able to spark much discussion back then. In fact, after the broadcast of "Band of Brothers", no actor can immediately become popular, because the success of this series comes from the whole, not the individual.

This time, at least a few other media outlets mentioned Lan Li's name separately, trying to attract the audience's attention from different angles, which is the benefit of Lan Li's stunning performance at the premiere.

There is no doubt that all major media have left a place for the "Pacific War" on important pages, and the North American film market in the spring file was already slightly depressed, but now there is finally a blockbuster work on the stage, and people are naturally unwilling to let it go easily.

On IMDB, the world's largest online database of movies, actors, and television, "Pacific War" has become a hot topic and set off a wave of attention before it has even started. Since the episodes have not yet aired, IMDB does not have an open rating system or an open discussion system, but only updates the official trailer and detailed shooting information of HBO.

Despite this, this still did not stop the enthusiasm of netizens, and in the list of most anticipated works, "Pacific War" has soared to third place, only behind the popular works "Toy Story 3" and "Inception" in this summer's file, leaving behind "Iron Man 2", "Twilight 3", "Shrek 4" and other works, showing unimaginable appeal.

Just as "The Shawshank Redemption" dominated IMDB's list of the best 250 films for more than ten years, IMDB's list of the best 250 episodes was dominated by "Band of Brothers" for nearly ten years; what is even more incredible is that "The Shawshank Redemption" dominated with a high score of 9.2, but "Band of Brothers" scored 9.5 points among more than 240,000 people, which can definitely be called a miracle among miracles, which shows that the "Band of Brothers" series has the status of a divine drama in the minds of the audience.

Now, the brother drama "Pacific War" of "Band of Brothers" is about to be broadcast, and the audience's enthusiasm for anticipation has completely exploded.

Not only IMDB, but also on the discussion board of the Yahoo community, the discussion about the "Pacific War" has also broken the table, thanks to the upcoming broadcast of the series, which has awakened the enthusiasm of countless "Band of Brothers" lovers, and has become the most popular episode in the discussion version for 24 hours, attracting more than 10,000 netizens to participate in the discussion.

As a TV series, the attention attracted by "Pacific War" has seriously exploded, and in the years since the end of the broadcast of "Band of Brothers", it is estimated that only the grand occasion of the finale of "Friends" can be compared, whether it is the topic of "Lost" or the stunning "Prison Break" in the United States, it is far from comparable.

Even more interestingly, "War in the Pacific" aired on HBO, a wireless television station – in other words, a pay channel – that not every household in the United States subscribes to HBO. At TVB, ratings and viewership are not their concern, professional reviews and subscriber feedback are the core competitiveness. But now, "Pacific War" has exploded into an incredible viewing craze among viewers.

This is truly a spectacle.

In anticipation, on the evening of March 21, the "Pacific War" finally officially began!

William Taylor is one of them, a "Band of Brothers" fanatic who began the countdown two weeks ago, and a week ago he set aside this Friday without any other activities, and even his parents knew about his "special plans" for tonight - he is only 18 years old and will enter college in September.

"Billy, Billy. Panting, a voice rushed in from outside, and Graham-Hughes almost banged the door open, still with a greeting still on his lips, "Mrs. Taylor, Mr. Taylor, good evening." ”

But William didn't care about the moaning door, but put his finger on his lip flap and beckoned quickly, "Turn off the lights at the door, there are three minutes left." Even his voice couldn't help but be deliberately lowered, as if he was really in a movie theater, lest he frighten the rest of the audience.

Graham didn't have time to wipe his sweat, so he sat down next to William, then took out the popcorn and Coke in his backpack one by one, turned his head to look at William, and both of them showed similar smiles in their eyes, adjusting their sitting posture on the sofa, holding the popcorn in his arms, and looking at the TV screen.

At this time, the commercial is playing, but the two of them are staring at the screen as if they are watching the best movie in the world.

William's mother walked to the door, looked at the two of them sitting precariously, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head, "You're too nervous, anyway, there will definitely be a DVD disc or Blu-ray disc ...... later."

"Mama/Mrs. Taylor!" William and Graham shouted in unison, answering them with an empathetic closing of the room door, and the two of them looked at the television screen in unison again.

"It's on!" William's voice trembled, and Graham held his breath, his pupils seemed to dilate.

Not only the Taylor family, at this moment, on this Friday night, on this carnival night, on this weekend night, countless families across the United States have chosen to stay at home, not because they are too old to miss the nightlife, nor because they are too tired from work to give up going out, just to watch the "Pacific War"!

In addition, in order to be able to watch the live broadcast of the series for the first time, some people choose to go to the house of friends who have a paid HBO channel, bring a dozen beers, invite a group of friends, and gather together like a party to enjoy this special night, and even go directly to the bar, the purpose is to open the HBO channel of the bar, only hoping to find like-minded strangers to watch together, as if watching football or the World Cup.

Such a grand scene is being staged in all corners of the North American continent, if not thousands of empty alleys, but it is not far off.

Later, according to statistics, the premiere ratings and viewership of the "Pacific War" on this night both set a new high in two years, and easily broke the achievements of "Band of Brothers" that year.

Although the TVB led by HBO does not care about the ratings, they care about the overall subscriber satisfaction, and only the part of the audience that pays for it is what they need to pay attention to, but the ratings records frequently created are still eye-catching.

The ratings of American TV series are divided into two data, one is the number of viewers, the other is the ratings, both of which have professional explanations and definitions, but the simple understanding is that the former represents how many people in the United States have watched it, and the latter represents how many people in the audience are between the ages of 18 and 49 - the general view is that this is the backbone of consumption.

Prior to this, HBO's ratings record was held by the 2007 finale of the classic series "The Sopranos", which was watched by 7.1 million people and had an incredible rating of 11.9. For a simple horizontal reference, cable TV dramas that rely on ratings to eat, a rating of more than three is enough to sprinkle flowers, and more than five is rare.

Now, the number of viewers of "Pacific War" is as high as 5.9 million, and the ratings have reached an astonishing 4.6, killing all wireless network dramas that night and becoming the ratings champion! It has become the most eye-catching drama series in HBO in the past two years after the finale of "The Sopranos" that swept the United States!

It's worth mentioning that "War in the Pacific" is a miniseries, and the real lucrative part of such a series is the sales of DVDs, as well as video-on-demand, and the competition for awards at the awards ceremony. But now, this set of miniseries has set off a frenzy when it was launched, and even HBOs, who are not bad for money, are smiling.

All signs indicate that the "Pacific War" has made a good start, and the continuation of the glory of "Band of Brothers" seems to be close at hand.

The screening of the first episode ended quickly, and the duration of less than an hour made it impossible to feel the pause of time at all, watching the subtitles on the TV screen slide up, William's expression was a little strange, and Graham also cast a puzzled gaze, and then William frowned and said in disbelief, "...... Why do you think ...... Something was missing. ”
