When the ending music of the third episode of "The Walking Dead" sounded, Claude looked at the office of "Elephant" in a daze for a long time. The shock in his heart echoed for a long time, and then he finally turned around and asked Mel Gibson with his mouth open: "

Mel...what do you think?"

"Indeed...it's...not bad." Mel Gibson had a complicated expression and nodded "reluctantly". He even felt that this TV series was really not worse than his movie...

"It's just not bad..." Claude was a little disappointed and sighed: "That means this kid can't pose a threat to the five major TV networks... We can only let ABC continue to attack us and wait for death? Sigh...

…”

"Who said we should sit still and wait for death~!" Mel Gibson suddenly raised his voice and shouted with his eyes wide open: "Just like you said, the Pirate Company has obtained evidence of Sony and Fox's manipulation of public opinion, and now the public knows about them.

This is a good opportunity for us to fight back against the evil practice of using the media to manipulate public opinion. Since pirate companies dare to challenge the five major TV networks head-on, why can't we do the same thing?"

"Mel, what do you mean?" Claude asked excitedly.

"What I mean is very simple. We have also issued a statement to explain that the five major TV networks have always manipulated public opinion. Didn't you investigate that the breaking news website ces that deliberately slandered me was founded by ABC? We will also issue a statement tomorrow.

Also hand over the evidence we have to CNN~!”

"Isn't this too risky, Mel...we won't be able to cooperate with abc anymore~" Seeing him so excited, Claude became a little scared.

"Adventure?" Mel Gibson looked deeply at his agent and said coldly: "Claude, we have been squeezed by the media controlled by those Jews for so many years. It's time for us to fight back."

After saying that, I thought about the grievances I had suffered from being deliberately demonized by the media during this period, and I couldn't help but kick down Claude's sofa as if to vent my anger.

Claude fell to the ground and shouted excitedly: "I'll do it right away."

At this moment, in the conference hall of the Sony Group, Yasuo Tatsumasa and many senior officials of the group's North America region closed their eyes and waited for the final result, like prisoners waiting to be sentenced. They did not have the courage to look at the real-time ratings chart, but

I am anxiously waiting for the results after the final broadcast, and I want to let my subordinates report the final viewership of this episode of "The Walking Dead" so that they don't have to suffer too much.

If the viewing population of "The Walking Dead" increases compared to the previous episode, even by one percentage point, it means that they no longer have any need to struggle, because the public has already believed CNN's reports.

If it is not better than the previous episode, then maybe they still have a chance. As long as they refuse to admit it, file a lawsuit with the Pirate Channel, sue them for defamation of reputation, drag it on for a few years, and even if the final result comes out, the public will not care about this matter.

It will almost be forgotten.

Although they knew that the probability of the latter happening was very low, they still had a glimmer of hope...

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and everyone, including Yasuo Tatsumasa, focused their attention on the person who came in. The thin white employee, with a pale face, said in a trembling voice:

"The audience size is out..."

"How much?" Yasuo Tatsumasa looked at him as calmly as possible, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"15.49 million..." the employee said slowly.

"How much...how much?" Several executives present instinctively thought they had heard wrong.

"The Walking Dead" received a total of 15.498 million viewers... beating our channel's "Two and a Half Men" with 15.421 million, and NBC's "Prison Break" with 9.782 million, ranking first in the same time period.

..." The employee said with a trembling voice, looking helplessly at all the people in the room.

This number was repeated again, leaving everyone stunned on the spot. 15.49 million... ranked first in terms of viewing population during the same period...

Finally, the gray-haired director of the publicity department, Ethan Jackson, touched his chest and leaned down from the bench bloodlessly. Several people rushed to help him, while more people collapsed like deflated rubber balls.

Leaning on the bench, Yasuo Tatsumasa also sighed deeply, glanced at everyone, his eyelids trembled and he closed his eyes. He knew that everything was over...

His wrong judgment put these people on the road of no return. Perhaps from the beginning, he should not have gone against the Chinese boy who had been creating miracles... Perhaps if Sony had been tolerant and accepted Li Xiaole from the beginning

, the situation will be completely different now, but all this is just "if" now...

Pirate Channel won, not just a win, but a complete victory. They started from a starting line with a viewership that had never reached 100,000 people. In just a few months, they were like a rocket.

Soaring, from 6 million viewers... to 8.5 million, and then to 15.498 million today...

"The Walking Dead" is indeed excellent, but it cannot reach this point in such a short period of time just based on the quality of the series. If it weren't for Sony, Fox has been trying to suppress him and let him seize the opportunity to use this

This result will never be achieved by taking the opportunity to build momentum.

Times make heroes...that's what it means.

After this thrilling night, on Tuesday morning, when headlines appeared in major newspapers, the viewership figure of "The Walking Dead" of 15.498 million came into everyone's eyes. This astonishing viewership figure shocked everyone.

Shout "Chinese pirates are coming~!"

This small pirate channel not only ranked first in the ratings for the same period, but also broke the history of the five major TV networks' monopoly of more than 15 million viewers.

Fans are obsessed with this series, and almost everyone is exclaiming: "With this shocking third episode, the "Walking Dead" series has become a series destined to be recorded in history.

"

In a poll on Yahoo's homepage regarding "Which drama is the best drama to watch this fall on Monday?", "The Walking Dead" received 126,578 votes out of 176,890 votes, beating "Prison Break" without any suspense.

"Super Heroes" and "Two and a Half Men" are the top dramas of various TV stations. Of course, this survey also broke the Yahoo voting record. This is because Chinese netizens immediately shared this activity on major forums.

superior.

Just like Yao Ming, Li Xiaole has become a source of pride in the eyes of the Chinese people. Many Chinese movie fans have logged on to this English website to vote for "The Walking Dead". However, even if the selection of films from China is ignored, "The Walking Dead" is still the most popular.

Everyone is welcome.

Yahoo's film and television editor-in-chief Hale Jackson published a long review, highly praising the third episode of "The Walking Dead". The article said:

"We should be grateful to this director from China because he produced a series that alarmed all North American television producers.

Now is an impetuous era, and every audience's taste for appreciation is getting heavier and heavier. There are no ethics or traditional values ​​​​in dramas. TV producers have become ratings machines. In order to cater to the audience, they continue to improve

It provides sensory and emotional stimulation that the audience enjoys.

Housewives' affairs, alien mysteries, supernatural powers, any subject matter, it seems that simple and strong narratives such as death, betrayal, and hatred are needed to be loved by the audience. People even express emotional conflicts and sensory stimulation directly in pictures.

Come out and emphasize various big scenes, big productions, and bloody and exciting scenes to win the favor of the audience.

This is an era that uses too much force in describing plot conflicts. It lacks the calm and ingenious narration of a drama master. Without a drama master, there is no one to control how the plot should develop, and no one can control the proportion of the story.

I once thought that "The Walking Dead" was also such a drama. At least from the first two episodes, it was even better than other competitors in this regard.

But I didn't expect that the third episode of "The Walking Dead" completely subverted my point of view. Li Xiaole presented this episode in a way that was completely beyond people's expectations. Moore's one-man show on the balcony was already shocking at the end.

The picture of the palms and the silence gives people a psychological shock that is unparalleled.

There is no specific description of blood or cruelty, allowing the audience to face the chilling details, but the ending is beyond everyone's imagination.

People in the industry probably know that Michael Rooker, who plays Maul, is a veteran actor, but his shortcoming is that he acts too hard and likes to yell.

In "With Order", his performance lacked fire.

However, under the control of Li Xiaole, he performed the most exciting three minutes of his acting career in a manic and restrained way, which is enough for him to be recorded in the history of American TV series. If his scenes can be longer, then this year's

There will be no doubt about the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

What surprised me even more is that I don’t know whether Li Xiaole has received professional training in painting and photography, but the silent movement of the hacksaw, palms, and handcuffs in the last shot is really wonderful, and every time

In a high-paced American drama where one shot is switched in three seconds, it definitely takes courage to use a long shot that lasts almost two seconds without lines, characters, or even subtitles, but the result is an extremely strong impact.
Chapter completed!
