I have to say that Zhuke's guess is correct at all.

Yesterday, the number of viewers ranked first, and it is still the fifth season of the classic old American drama Friends. However, once the jailbreak was broadcast, it was extremely powerful.

According to reports provided by professional viewership statistics companies, the jailbreak premiered 15 million viewers on the day of its premiere, which is 1 million higher than the number of visitors counted by WB TV. The number of visitors is second only to the number 26 million in the 9th episode of Friends Season 5.

The difference between the two is 11 million viewers.

It looks quite different, but you should know that the jailbreak has just started broadcasting!

On the other hand, Friends has already aired its fifth season, which is a well-known ace series that is well-known and is broadcast on TV giant platforms like NBC. The freshman WB TV network naturally cannot compare!

Therefore, when the number of viewers of the jailbreak broadcast was reported by the media, it naturally attracted the attention of many viewers and the industry.

The New York Times Entertainment Edition is the first to be affected.

“A creepy TV series!”

This is the headline news of the New York Times Entertainment section that day, and the title of the jailbreak TV series commentary given.

"The hero Michael Schofield just entered the prison just to rescue his brother from jail, but why is he extremely sure that his brother was wronged?"

"This is undoubtedly a TV series involving justice and family affection!"

"There are all kinds of prison prisoners that appear in the first episode, each of them has their own story."

"Although the film only has one episode, we might as well make a bold prediction. The following content of the film will definitely have a large number of political satirical plots, revealing a large number of social judicial injustice."

"Who is in the hands of the law?"

"Is it just, justice, fairness and justice?"

"Maybe let's wait and see!"

.........

"Whether we ignore the world of prisoners?"

This is the title article given by the Boston Herald, and it is also the headline position.

The article stated: "This is not the first TV series about prisons and prisoners, but the jailbreak that only airs one episode has left us with a profound impression."

"why is that?"

"High cost, high-quality high-quality TV series, it is the most important leap in the history of American TV field!"

"The number of viewers of more than 15 million people on the day of the premiere is enough to prove that high-cost TV series is the mainstream direction in the future, and if not, it is a direction that cannot be ignored."

"The performance of one prisoner after another in prison in the video, especially those sentenced to hundreds of years or even life imprisonment, makes us sigh that they are really hopeless? Or are they really breaking the law?"

"The male protagonist's eyes tell us that some of them must have been wronged!"

"This is definitely a loophole and unbearable judicial system, and even artificially manipulates the laws that should be fair and just!"

Los Angeles Entertainment, California Comprehensive Morning Post, Ter Entertainment Weekly...

Early in the morning that day, as many as 45 media and newspapers across the United States made professional reports on jailbreaks; as many as 62 film critics also gave targeted positive or negative reviews.

Below the official website of WB TV station, there were messages about jailbreaks in less than 12 hours, and there were as many as 78,000 people.

The influence of jailbreak that only airs one episode is already terrifying.

An executive of nbc TV station even said: "WB TV network is about to rise!"

A representative of abc TV station: "WB TV Network is affiliated to a company under Jin Shuguang TV Group, and Jin Shuguang TV Group and Wald Pictures are both subsidiaries under Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group. As we all know, since the establishment of Wald Pictures, we have launched many popular works, so we are not surprised that WB TV Network can launch such a fine TV series as jailbreak. Of course, we were still very surprised."

The main executives of the TV station also received interviews from a number of media reporters on the same day, mainly mentioning the views on jailbreak.

There is no doubt that the impact of jailbreak is spreading.

However, this is just the beginning.

A few days later.

Prison Break Season 1 Episode 2 aired.

The number of viewers hit a new high, reaching 17.5 million, an increase of 2.5 million viewers;

After the broadcast of episode 3, the number of viewers reached 21 million.

20 million people, but the most important indicator for the American television field to evaluate whether a film and television series is the most important indicator for the ace series.

Undoubtedly, jailbreak did it.

And it only took 3 episodes!

The American TV counterparts have changed from surprise to shock!

The ace drama is not a little fish and shrimp. It represents the comprehensive strength of a TV station, and it represents profit and money.

In more than two weeks, WB TV's advertising fee revenue increased by 330 months from last month to US$8 million.

The market analysis department of abc TV station gave a rough prediction.

“50 million!”

"Just just the advertising fee income, jailbreaking can generate 50 million for WB TV stations. If the revenue from the later video tape and DVD market is added, it will generate 100 million US dollars in total revenue for WB TV stations."

"This is still the income from broadcasting on the WB TV network platform. If we change to a large platform like our ABC, the annual income is conservatively estimated to be more than US$150 million."

Major TV stations in the same industry in the TV field are shocked, and they are more envious, jealous and hatred.

The income of ace TV series is so profitable!

In the future, the song of Ice and Fire, which was produced and broadcast by HBO TV, has generated $3.58 billion in revenue for HBO TV.

With the development of the times, the huge profits of TV series are not much worse than the income of Hollywood movies.

December 27, 1998.

Just a few days passed during Christmas, Zucker was interviewed by the California Entertainment News.

Reporter Elena: "Mr. Wald, did you expect the prison break to be so popular today?"

"certainly!"

Zucker sat on the sofa and said without hesitation: "I wrote the jailbreak script myself. After completing the script, I made this judgment. After all, we have invested heavily in unprecedented investment. Looking at the history of American TV, it is absolutely rare."

"To be honest, we, Jin Shuguang, are one of the pioneers of high-cost, high-quality and high-quality TV series!"

Zhu Ketian shamelessly took this title!

This will play a lot of key role in the future development of the TV group.

At the end of the interview, Zucker mysteriously said: "You might as well pay more attention to upn TV. After all, on January 1, upn TV will launch the excellent series Walking Dead."

The Walking Dead?

"Huh?" reporter Elena was stunned for a few seconds.
Chapter completed!
