Chapter 406 "Band of Brothers" starts broadcasting!
Starz TV station fell into a short black screen, with only the station logo in the corner indicating that the signal is still being transmitted.
It's like the scene before the movie is released.
Then, several gray-haired old men appeared, sitting in front of the camera and recalling the past. Through the content, we can know that they were veterans of World War II and were airborne elites that shocked Europe.
"I was sitting in the shop, and someone came in and asked us to join the army. I asked what you were talking about? He said that Pearl Harbor was attacked and the United States joined the war. We didn't believe that our country would be attacked."
"Our country was attacked, which is different from the Korean War and Vietnam War. We were attacked! You understand, this feeling... Maybe we were honest people in the countryside, but indeed, at that time, we all volunteered to join the army and served the country."
"'Who wants to join the tank force?''Who wants to join the air force?''Who wants to join the navy?' They asked again,'Who wants to join the airborne division?' God, what is airborne? We have never heard of it."
"I came from a very small town. There were three people in the town who committed suicide because they failed the physical examination, just because they could not join the army. It was a unique era."
"We do these things, not for medals or honors. We do these things just because it is our mission..."
The simple, straightforward, five consecutive conversations immediately described the tense, passionate and passionate situation of defending the country, making the atmosphere in the whole room serious.
Donn also pulled his hand back from the bottom of Mira Jovovich's skirt and was infected by these short 90 seconds.
Perhaps this is the charm of lens language, real and efficient.
However, Little Taylor was obviously not at the age of being moved by history, and muttered, "I don't know if a group of big idiots were attacked by the Japanese army!"
Tang En said angrily: "What are you talking about?"
"That's it. I've watched "Pearl Harbor". We were beaten so badly by the Japanese army!" Little Taylor snorted.
Tang En frowned, then sighed and hugged her shoulders, "You are still young, and when you grow up, you will understand. The standard of a hero is not success or failure, but the belief in giving to the world first."
Little Taylor's head rested on Tang En's shoulder and said "Oh" weakly, not understanding.
At this time, the words "Starz" premiered on the TV screen appeared. The next scene showed the subtitles jointly produced by Tang En Pictures, DreamWorks and Preton Pictures.
The melodious and soothing background sound is presented with a desolate sense of music.
This is the opening song of "Brothers" - "Soldier Requiem".
In the picture full of gunpowder, the opening song is a bit vicissitudes, without the sonorous and powerful electronic music, nor the shocking thunder of big drums. However, with the lens of fighter jets, artillery, and army, it further shows the sense of the times and tragic feelings of war.
Especially the sky-borne soldiers, a shot of opening the parachute in the blue sky, the distance is staggered, and the height is arranged, which instantly forms a strong visual contrast effect.
Milla Jovovich had already lost his voice: "What is the difference between such a shot and a movie?"
Tang En shook his head, "Don't use the concept of the past TV series to watch "Brothers"."
In his previous life, of course he had watched "Brothers" and only felt that the filming was very intense.
However, in this life, in such a country, such environment, and atmosphere, he could more fully feel the charm of the details of this miniseries.
The opening song of 2 and a half minutes deeply caught the attention of every girl in the living room.
Except for Little Taylor, leaning against Don Eun’s arms, his long eyelashes were shaking quickly, and he was obviously sleepy and could not open his eyes.
At this time, Tang En's cell phone rang again.
Maybe he was worried about disturbing Tang En to watch the TV series, and the content was very simple: "The viewership family has exceeded 12.5 million!"
The text message did not explicitly state that among the 12.5 million viewers, how many of them were paid members and how many were free trial rights for one month.
However, STA TV's total subscription families are only more than 10 million. This data shows that "Brothers" has attracted more family attention.
Tang En didn't care too much and looked up to watch the show.
In order to show the heaviness of history and the desolation of war, the saturation of the picture was lowered.
However, this is "Brothers", and the story officially begins...
First, through a set of short shots, the situation in the European battlefield camp was shown.
Then, the camera turned to Georgia, which is in the rear of the United States.
A group of young people from all directions were voluntarily trained to become the latest military service of the US military - the Airborne Army, and formed the E Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Airborne Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.
Under the strict leadership of Captain Sauber, they went from being an inexperienced civilian to the E Company, the most elite special forces of the US military.
This happened in 1942.
On September 6, 1943, Company E took a boat from Brooklyn Military Harbor to Alderburn, England for training and began to approach the atmosphere of war so as to provide support to the front line at any time.
During training, the soldiers were unable to trust Captain Sauber's low command ability. A tense state of opposition formed between Lieutenant Winters, a young officer loved by the soldiers, and Captain Sauber, who was hated by everyone.
After a non-commissioned officer of Company E mutiny expressed his protest against Sauber excluding Winters, Sauber was transferred from Company E to a training base behind to serve as an instructor. The soldiers of Company E have since gotten rid of Sauber and welcomed a new company commander...
If you only look at the picture, you can't tell the difference between this miniseries and movies at all, but the plot content reflects the gap.
Whether it is a TV series, the plot is slightly slower than the movie. The first episode has been played and has not even entered the battlefield yet, which is obviously not in line with the pace of the movie.
In order to capture the audience's attention, Steven Spielberg's "Save Private Ryan", in order to capture the audience's attention, the first scene of the opening was the cruel Normandy landing, which directly burned the atmosphere of war.
However, "Brothers Company" shows the daily training of grassroots officers and soldiers through the perspective of the lower-level soldiers, and is also a shooting angle that has never been seen before.
The first episode is just an introduction, which introduces the topic. Under the leadership of the Chief of the Sgt. The recruits of the E Company gradually matured. In addition to having firm execution, the chief officer of a company should also have high military capabilities. Captain Sauber fell behind in practice and left the E Company.
And the trailer for the next second episode is so exciting - Normandy landing!
"Brothers" was played, and the living room was quiet. Tang En looked down and found that Little Taylor was already lying on his lap and fell asleep.
Don En wanted to take her back to the room, but at this time, Chris Albrector called again accurately and informed the good news, "Boss, the data results have come out! The first episode was premiered, with an average viewership of more than 12.8 million users, and at the peak, more than 14 million household users watched it at the same time!"
For free public TV networks, a TV series has a rating of 10 million to 20 million before, which is very common. Popular TV series usually has more than 20 million household users online. Like "Friends", it even created a myth that 30 million people watch it at the same time!
However, STA is a professional cable TV network with only more than 10 million users!
Public TV networks such as NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX are free to watch and are spread across 110 million home users across the United States.
Even the legendary "Friends" has a rating ratio of less than 30%, while "Brothers"... is as high as 128%! At its peak, it even exceeded 140%!
There is no comparison at all!
Tang En was very satisfied with this result. The peak viewership was 14 million, which was not as good as HBO's 15 million in his previous life, but it was almost the same. The explosive power of "Brothers" was fully demonstrated.
"Today's broadcast effect is very good, Chris, thank you for your hard work!"
Tang En encouraged a few words and hung up the phone. He found that Little Taylor had woken up again in a daze. He hugged Tang En's neck unyieldingly, and pouted, "Tang En, I want to sleep with you tonight."
Tang En panicked, "Stop making trouble, they are all big girls, how can they sleep with me?"
"No, I'm going to sleep with you!" Little Taylor rubbed his eyes, bulged his cheeks, and had a little aggressive momentum.
"no!"
Tang En flatly refused.
Today, I finally got so many beautiful girls together, how could I delay a little girl’s movie?
Little Taylor said angrily: "Who do you want to sleep with?"
As soon as the words fell, there was silence.
The other girls in the room all looked very different and looked at Tang En with strange eyes.
Penelope Cruz walked over with a smile and advised Tyler softly: "Baby, why don't I sleep with you, okay?"
"No, no!" Little Taylor's head shook into a rattle, his gem-like crystal eyes staring at Tang En tightly, "I'm going to sleep with you. If you don't agree, I'll call Natalie and ask her to come back to accompany me!"
The girls looked at each other and almost laughed.
How can this naughty kid know so much?
Let Natalie come back and see this situation, can’t she still make trouble?
Tang En had a headache and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you stinky girl!"
Little Taylor giggled, shook his head and looked proud.
Tang En snorted in his heart: "Little girl movie, I can't cure you? When I get you to sleep, will this wonderful night be with me?"
That night, Don Eun shuttled back and forth between several bedrooms.
Very lively!
"ah!"
Angela Lindelwald was politely cheering under Don En, but Karolina Kokuva, who was kneeling aside and serving carefully, screamed.
"What's wrong?"
Tang En was startled and looked at the door in the direction of her eyes, and immediately shuddered several times in a row.
Taylor Swift stood at the door with his hands pinched his waist, his face tightened, and he looked like he was gritting his teeth...
Chapter completed!
