In this strange social opinion, not only Li Xiaole has become a master of reasoning. The Benedict Cumberbatch, who explains on the website every day how to use the "modern deduction method" to infer the details of these coaches' about to be dismissed, has also become an unfathomable symbol in the hearts of ordinary movie fans. Looking at his eyes that are shining with wisdom, everyone feels that he is no longer so ugly, and is getting closer and closer to the image of the legendary detective in the novel...

Everyone found that although this strange guy looked very bad at first glance, he seemed to become charming after watching it for a long time. "Sherlock" has not been aired yet, and some female fans have begun to establish a fan website for the new Sherlock Holmes. The number of registered people has quietly reached more than 2,000.

What makes people even more ridiculous is that Ben Johnson, a college classmate in Manchester, suddenly called him to confess his guilt: "Benny... Have you reasoned that I was dating your girlfriend with you on my back? Sorry, Benny didn't actually mean that I did such a stupid thing after drinking alcohol..."

It made Benny feel very magical. Even the acquaintances around him began to think that the fictional "modern interpretation" was useful?

Another significant change is that the business phone number of the Drama Council suddenly became a hotline. Many stage actors called to ask whether "Detective Sherlock" still needed actors. They were all very interested in this. When they learned that there was no vacancies for important roles, many people still said that as long as they could show their faces in this episode, they would be willing to do so even if they were free.

This is what marginal actors love to say to producers. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have lines, and it doesn’t matter if they pay Weibo. As long as they show their faces in popular dramas, it will be much easier to catch the corners of their eyes in the future.

In such an atmosphere, in mid-May, the whole UK began to enter the rainy season. When the mud and rainy days, British people began to habitually like to stay at home. This led to a decline in the attractiveness of movie box office and live football matches, and also meant that the TV ratings battle is being vigorously unfolding...

At this time of year, bbc TV stations, which use British dramas as weapons, and Sky TV stations, which use American dramas as a trump card, will start a new round of drama ratings decisive battle...

As the traditional viewer king, BBC has a dominant position on Saturday. "Doctor Who" has a rating of 8.72 million people. The new drama "Rome" has invested over 100 million in the first season and the third season has a viewership of 7.8 million people. It is currently still popular. In all aspects, these two BBC self-produced dramas are well-deserved kings of weekend dramas.

From Monday to Friday, bbc could only buy works from other British film and television companies, but in this capital battlefield, they are no match for other TV stations at all. The e4 channel "Skin" has a population of 6.25 million captured the favor of countless young people. Itv "Detective Polo" is the traditional detective drama no·1.

These small TV stations only rely on one or two high-quality dramas to threaten them differently. What really makes BBC helpless is that Sky TV, a subsidiary of News Corporation, a media giant that owns "Twentieth Century Fox", one of the six major Hollywood stars, has introduced countless American dramas to face BBC head-on under the leadership of media tycoon Murdoch.

"Grey's Anatomy", "Desperate Housewife", "Ugly Betty", "Doctor House", "Prison Break", and "Evil Force" almost all popular American dramas in this season were broadcast on three channels in Sky TV that cover the entire UK. Compared with the series produced by small British companies with only a few hundred thousand pounds per episode, these American dramas that cost millions of each episode are obviously more popular with British audiences.

The general viewership of these series is above 5 million. On Friday, the largest number of viewers, Sky TV 1 and 2 broadcast "Doctor House" and "Evil Force" can have an average of 4.67 million and 5.16 million viewership respectively, completely making the 80,000 population of the original BBC drama "Little Britain" so hard that it can't be raised.

BBC, who originally wanted to set "Sherock Detective" to be broadcast on Wednesday, suddenly changed his mind. They negotiated with the board of directors, hoping to adjust it to be broadcast on Friday, so that the Chinese director Li Xiaole, the Chinese director, would fight against those American dramas, especially "Doctor House" which is the same type as "Sherock Detective".

Dr. House, played by British actor Hugh Laurie, is now the most popular TV actor in England. This is very helpless for BBC. They can only hope that the "Sherlock" they bought can suppress the momentum of this American drama. Even if they can't compare, they can at least divert part of his audience.

"We should not accept this change." Charlie, who was frowning and suggested to Li Xiaole after receiving the document.

"I don't think there is any problem with this?" Li Xiaole sat in the office chair, feeling relaxed.

"You know, our series investment is overspending. If it is broadcast at the same time as Doctor House, our audience will be diverted, so it will be difficult for us to do it. You have to know that we must reach at least 3.5 million viewers in the first episode to maintain revenue balance." Charlie reminded softly, hoping that Li Xiaole will not act irritating. Doctor House is so popular, but it is very unusual. It is not only the American Golden Globe TV series last year, but also the most popular American drama among British audiences, and even surpasses Li Xiaole's "The Walking Dead".

"I think this arrangement is just right." Li Xiaole's calm face showed a smile: "We can grab all the audiences of "Doctor House", which happens to be our customer base."

"Lee, do you really think Benny is stronger than Hugh Laurie?" Charlie asked curiously as he looked at him.

"No, he is similar to Hugh Laurie," Li Xiaole replied without hesitation: "But House is only alone, and Sherlock has Watson, Benny and Martin are ten times better than Hugh Laurie~~~"

Charlie looked at the extremely powerful self-confidence in Li Xiaole's eyes and stopped talking. He just looked at him with appreciation and nodded. His heart was calm and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He hadn't felt this way for a long time. Just compete with the strongest opponent in front of him. Only the better one can survive~~

Night fell in London, drizzling, by the Thames River, on the Elizabeth Tower next to the majestic British Parliament Hall, a heavy bell sound came from Big Ben, and it was 8 pm.

On the streets of London, the English people holding umbrellas were all looking slightly arrogant and elegant on their faces, while the black vagabonds on the street and the young people in front of the bar reminded people all the time, the other side of the city.

It was another rainy night. For most London, students and ordinary office workers, after going home for dinner, they would not want to go out and let the mud get their trousers dirty, so they all chose to use the TV as their best pastime, with all kinds of exciting dramas and exciting Premier League games to accompany them for a pleasant evening.

After 8 pm, the most cruel ratings battlefield is about to kick off. The British dramas that have gradually faded will compete with the strong American dramas. The official contest between BBC and Sky TV's two major TV media is about to begin.

Tonight, Sky TV Channel 1 and 2 broadcast "Doctor House" and "Evil Force" respectively...

BBC will broadcast the first episode of "Detective Sherlock". This drama, which is as long as a movie, will confront two American dramas with a rating of more than 5 million.

The board of directors estimates that "Detective Sherlock" can exceed 3.5 million and reach a rating of about 4 million. Of course, this is just an estimate. This is the influence of Li Xiaole's warm-up during this period, and 3.5 million is also a bottom line... This will determine the future fate of the Drama Council.

As the broadcast time gets closer, Fred, the president of the board, is also rushing back and forth in his living room. He can't stop his mind today and is waiting for the arrival of this moment.

The old friend Charlie, who was sitting on the sofa, was drinking tea gracefully, watching Fred sway in front of him, and couldn't help but smile gently: "If you don't stop, I'm afraid that your high blood pressure will be released when the broadcast is released."

"If I don't move too much, I will fall asleep automatically by 9 o'clock. I don't want to miss anything." Fred said a little restlessly, and the doorbell rang as he said.

"Which bastard, ring the doorbell at this time~" Fred said impatiently.

"Maybe it's Mrs. Henry next door. She was in a bad mood recently. Last time she said she wanted to talk to me about her worries." Charlie stood up and walked towards the door.

"It's so pitiful~ Didn't she know that you are not a good extramarital affair? Haven't you told him about our affairs yet?" Fred said coldly.

"I'll find the right time again." Charlie turned his head and replied.

"We have moved here for 23 years~!" Fred glared at him.

"Oh~~Mrs. Henry..." Charlie opened the door with a smile, but was stunned when he saw the visitor: "Why is it you, Simon..."

Seeing his mortal enemy Simon Terry slapped the rain on his body, he came in through the door, and greeted Fred casually: "Good evening, Fred."
