Chapter 939: A Familiar American Drama

Hearing George Harding's roar, Yost also agreed.

This slap was so painful that Warner Bros. was faceless.

If you don't retaliate hard, others will think that Warner Bros. is very weak and bullied.

But in fact, Warner Bros. is one of the most powerful entertainment conglomerates in Hollywood, and it is backed by Time Warner, a super predator, and it is simply unprovoked on weekdays.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have wanted to crush "Speed of Life and Death" so lightly.

The current temporary loss is nothing at all, and Warner will have a chance to take revenge in the future.

For example, "Superman 2" can't work, so how about giving it a try with the more popular "Batman" next time?

If you are a great Kirin Group, there is a kind of Yin Jun who directs every movie!?

As long as it is not directed by Yin Jun and can judge that there is not much box office potential, Warner can seize the opportunity and give them a fatal blow to get back this time.

Then Yost thought of another thing: "By the way, George, do you know that Disney's new TV series, "Happy Hotel"?"

George Harding thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "It was the female president who was halfway through the house to direct it herself, right? I remember that the ratings of the first episode seemed to be very average?"

"The first episode was watched by less than 5 million people, but that's just before. "The audience for the second episode is 5.5 million, the audience for the third episode is 9.5 million, and the audience for the fourth episode, that is, last Friday, has exceeded 10 million, to 15 million!"

"So much?"

George Harding was stunned.

Warner Bros. is owned by Warner Bros., but there is also a Warner TV Network, although the ratings are not very good, and the influence is not great, but he has been doing TV for decades, and of course he knows what the TV series watched by more than 10 million people represents.

"15 million, that's right, Nielsen Data counts. "Now TV viewers, a lot of people are talking about this very good sitcom. Originally, the TV dramas broadcast on the Disney TV channel were all biased towards children and teenagers, but after a few episodes, not only college students were watching it, but also office people, and even parents in their 40s were watching it!"

"Happy Hotel!" George Harding frowned, "Yin Jun's script again?"

"Well, he wrote it. "I heard from Disney that Tang Shuxuan talked about it when she was filming this TV series, and Yin Jun told her that this will be a good TV series that everyone in the United States and China will like, and if everyone works hard, they can make a super classic...... I didn't expect her to be talking nonsense, but telling the truth!"

"This man...... What kind of person do you think he is?" George Harding had a headache, "How do I feel that I have met a real genius? Writing books, TV series, movies, and comics, even if he can lead the trend in Hong Kong and Asia, how can he have such a good reputation and achievements in movies made for the American market and TV series shot in the United States?"

"He's a genius. Yost already regarded Yin Jun as a very dangerous enemy, but he definitely did not underestimate Yin Jun, "You only have to think about his age and what he has done so far to know what kind of amazing genius he is." ”

"Yes, why would such a genius choose to oppose us?" George Harding smiled bitterly, "No, no, it's my idiot who actually thinks that "Superman 2" can crush his first directorial work. If you think about it, with a genius like Yin Jun, if he is not sure, can he spend $40 million in publicity money and fight us?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that. "This is his first film after buying Disney and United Arts Films, so it has to be successful, so they spent $40 million on advertising...... Oh, there is not 40 million, and the advertisement he made for Mercedes-Benz earned 10 million, and then the accompanying advertising effect on "Speed of Life and Death" is at least 20 million US dollars. ”

"From the moment he put out an ad like 'The Great Split', I should have put up with it for a while and take a step back. George Harding said afterthought, "This kind of advertisement has been taken out by him, why can't you see his determination clearly?"

Shaking his head, Jost didn't speak.

Warner Bros. has the pride of Warner Bros., and George Harding simply can't back down, and from the moment he chooses to fight in the ring with "Life and Death", there is no way to back down.

The only way now is to find a place in the later competition, so that they can also know that Warner Bros. is not easy to bully!

……

On the other side of Hollywood, there are also many people discussing the explosive TV series "Happy Hotel".

A TV series, generally about 8 episodes at most, can see its market potential.

The kind that ended after only 4 or 6 episodes were broadcast in a hurry, I really don't know how rotten it was, and with the end of them, there was also the dismissal of the relevant personnel of the TV station.

Under normal circumstances, even if the ratings are unsatisfactory, about 10-12 episodes of a season can still be broadcast in its entirety.

Of course, there are some TV series, its ratings are not high at the beginning, but it has that kind of meaningful taste, so the TV station will also support it and continue to buy the second and third seasons.

Well, yes, this is Breaking Bad.

Its ratings in the first season are very average, if it weren't for the TV station's discernment and stubborn continuation of it, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't be able to see this excellent TV series that digs deep into human nature and is full of all kinds of complex emotions.

The TV series "Happy Hotel", as the first TV series owned by Kirin Group to Disney, has actually attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was launched.

But after watching the first episode, many of them gave up.

Such a sitcom with all the scenes in a bar is not found in American TV dramas, but there are not too many sitcoms, and there is nothing unusual at all.

This "Happy Hotel", first, there are no famous stars, and secondly, they are all about the trivial things in life, and most of them are frustrated people in life and career, nagging, and completely featureless.

In fact, the 4.6 million viewers of the first episode also seem to confirm their judgment.

So at that time, some people were laughing, Yin Jun could only do TV dramas and movies in Xiangjiang, and now in the United States, his strengths are no longer needed.

But with the strength of "Speed of Life and Death" beating "Superman 2", and with the miraculous episode by episode of "Happy Hotel" increasing ratings, the viewership crowd continues to increase, and the people who say these gossips are completely gone.

They all froze.

Why is this so?

Needless to say, "Speed of Life and Death" is an action movie created with a huge investment of 25 million, and there is a publicity blessing of 40 million US dollars, and it is natural to succeed.

But what about "Happy Hotel"?

An unknown female director, a group of unknown actors, the overall lineup is not even third-rate.

With the addition of scenes, labor, production, etc., the production cost of an episode of a TV series does not exceed $100,000 at all!

A TV series that has nothing actually keeps attracting people's attention and allows everyone to continue watching, and the viewers are snowballing, and it has reached 10 million above the threshold of whether the American drama is popular or not, what is the reason?

Perhaps some interviews with fans of the TV series can tell the story.

"Diane is so beautiful, so cute! I love her, and she changes her clothes every episode with style. ”

"The old coach is really a joker, I laugh when I listen to his jokes, where did you find this old actor?

"Boss Sam is the most powerful person, don't you think? He has a poisonous tongue when he wants a poisonous tongue, a warm tongue when he wants to be warm, and a shy person when he wants to be shy, which is very good!"

"I think it's the overall atmosphere of this bar that fascinates me, although everyone is not satisfied, there are always so many people who can face difficulties with a smile!"

"Well, at first, I just thought that the story that only happened in the bar was too monotonous, but when I watched it carefully, I laughed and cried at the same time, I liked this drama so much!"

"How else to say that we are the world's number one screenwriter? It's the first time I've seen so many actors take turns to appear, but none of them are tricks, all of them have their own distinctive characteristics, so it's really rare! The bar is a society, and it is also a warm home that we yearn for!"

"Beautiful, funny! You ask me why? God knows why? I don't know why I'm fighting my son for the remote control, and I'm fascinated by it. ”

"Mom, my grandparents have grabbed the TV to watch, they are all in their 60s! My parents and I can only sit by and watch, but I am only 15 years old! I can only say, Master Jun is so powerful, he has wiped out all three generations of our family!"

“……”

Through these interviews, professional investigators came to a conclusion that everyone agrees on.

That is, "The success of "Happy Hotel" lies in the fact that it condenses a society, and everyone who appears has their own life and role, and there is absolutely nothing superfluous. Yin Jun used clever means to express their life, depression, venting and hope in the bar, Yin Jun through humor and positive optimism, so that they can get spiritual comfort in the bar, and re-full of hope for the future. ”

As for the future evaluation of "Happy Hotel", the consulting company is not stingy with its own praise.

"It is very likely that it will be another divine drama that has swept the United States after "Wind x Doctor x Nurse"!"
