Legendary Hollywood Director

The famous scene in the second episode, after the bathtub melted, has already set off a small climax.

In the third episode, Lao Bai was still struggling to kill Xiaoba, and the relationship between husband and wife was also affected by a little lie.

In the basement, Lao Bai suddenly fainted when he made dinner and delivered it.

After waking up, I had a heart-to-heart conversation with Xiaoba.

Xiao Ba's performance was not as crazy and inhuman as that day, which made Lao Bai more and more inclined to let Xiao Ba go.

But as a result, this honest man ushered in a betrayal.

It turns out that all this was planned by Xiaoba, the purpose is to paralyze Lao Bai, and he also prepared to cut the rope to kill Lao Bai through the fragments of the dinner plate scattered when he fainted.

The deceived Lao Bai finally turned his heart out and killed Xiao Ba.

This is the first time an honest man has shown his power, but it is so shocking.

It was only at this time that the charm of the play began to fully unfold.

And for Breaking Bad, the heat of discussion has gradually increased.

Some people say that this show needs a little patience; some people say that the plot is well arranged; some people like the old white in it the most...

The slow rhythm in the early stage is both a disadvantage and an advantage, so that the later plot completely overwhelms some trivial character settings.

Bryan Lanxton's acting talent is underestimated. His plasticity is fully reflected in this show. He can be both weak and fierce. When he first really tried to kill Xiaoba, I admit I was taken aback by him. It was amazing.

This show is very lifelike, and it's not as boring as it sounds.

Every man has a lion in his heart, and the diagnosis of lung cancer is undoubtedly the key to releasing the shackles of the lion in Lao Bai's heart. Before that, he was careful, he tried his best to protect his family, and he lived a life of suffocation and had no sense of existence; After this, he will enjoy the amazement, admiration, and admiration of his relatives, whether it is to teach the punks a lesson or swear at the car wash owner when he resigns all stems from this psychological transformation.

In other words, this man, who is very accomplished in chemistry, yearns for strength in his bones, but his quiet life has worn away his edges and corners, but he can't stop his inner desire.

In the process of becoming a lion, he began to be domineering, confident, and define his own territory, and he didn't like to be betrayed.

Therefore, everyone will see that the more someone thinks he will be soft, the more paranoid this person is to prove to everyone that he is awesome.

Old Bai, who is no longer despised by life, is really charming and makes people look forward to where he will go.

The most common sentence in similar evaluations is I haven't seen enough.

As a result, the first episode was less than 3, but it rose to 3.1 in the second episode and 3.4 in the third episode. Although the increase was still very slow, the audience retention rate was exceptionally high.

Except for the avalanche of ratings caused by the high expectations of the first episode, there has been no decline since.

Even the repeat episodes aired on Friday can attract many viewers to watch again and again.

Is Breaking Bad popular? It's not yet popular, but it has already been regarded as a must-see American drama in a certain audience circle.

Nowadays, many dramas are famous in one broadcast, but there are few that rely on word-of-mouth to slowly rise, but it is not without exception.

In any case, after opening the door and denialing the trend, after all, the drama has been affirmed.

Also, audience limitations are minimal.

The Prison Break is so popular, it's just that young people like to watch it. It can be seen from the data chart of Nielsen's statistics, or it is like some soap operas. The old people like it very much, and the young people don't watch it at all, but Breaking Bad However, after the broadcast is more fascinating, the basic audience segment becomes larger.

From the teens to the fifties, except for the adolescent fanatical female fans who like to chase idols, they are all included.

In other words, this drama has a sense of life, everyone can find a shadow of themselves from the characters in it, not to mention that the transformation of honest people is inherently dramatic, and the transformation process is not abrupt, and once they do bad things Very ruthless, but after a series of promotions, Lao Bai walked into the abyss, and he himself was willing to sink.

......

HBO, General Manager's Office.

Austin looked a little dazed at the summary report of the audience ratings of the latest issue of the same period in his hand, and his first reaction was to scream badly.

Breaking Bad has not been sentenced to death, and it has begun to rise.

More importantly, is this retention rate real? 90% audience retention from start to finish?

You must know that the audience watching American dramas today rarely sees the end from the beginning to the end. If it is a little bit bad, they will change the channel immediately, or watch other dramas that need to be chased more closely.

Therefore, sometimes a drama with a maximum rating of more than 6 has an average rating of 4, which is very good.

And Breaking Bad is strange. The peak ratings are really nothing. Compared with Prison Break and The Walking Dead from the same studio, it's much lower, but the playback is extremely stable.

The average ratings are equivalent to the highest ratings.

These data details let Austin, a professional, know at a glance that the quality and reputation of the show is so good, so once the audience watches it, they will not change the channel.

Fox TV picked up a bargain, it's really a lot. Austin thought with some resentment.

Because in his opinion, the cooperation between HBO and Firefly is quite good. If Warner Studios doesn't make a fool of it, HBO will definitely be the first choice for this show.

Of course, Austin has habitually forgotten that when the ratings for the first episode came out, he laughed at Firefly's failed performance and made a mediocre bad show.

2.8? That's it?

Now there is no smile at all, just regret and complain about the short-sightedness of his own high-level executives.

Fortunately, the show has only just begun to emerge, otherwise Austin would be more depressed, because the biggest highlight of Breaking Bad is not only the stable retention rate, but also the reputation and influence of the subsequent explosion.

The Guinness Book of Records is not for nothing, but this show is really invincible. From the beginning of the broadcast, the Oscar of the Emmy Award was almost wrapped up by Breaking Bad, and the scores of audience fans were also very strong.

The scores of IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes are not lower, and the comprehensive evaluation of the media is as high as 99 points - newspaper evaluation, out of 100.

On the other hand, the steady audience of the third episode also made Fox executives finally relax.

If the show is too bad, it would be a waste to give prime time.

Of course, Breaking Bad, which has just entered the boutique ranks, is not outstanding, but it will undoubtedly give many people a little comfort compared to the gap at the beginning.

Intellectually speaking, even if the cooperation does not break down, Firefly and Fox can still go on together.

Therefore, Fox immediately contacted Firefly to discuss the renewal.

According to the agreement at the beginning, Fox only needs to pay 850,000 broadcast buyout fees per episode and 18% of the advertising revenue inserted at the same time.

On the premise that the viewership rate will increase and the broadcast cost will remain unchanged, continue to support the advertising profit sharing until it reaches the critical value after breaking 6, with a 40% share.

Of course, in the eyes of Fox executives, the 40% share of Fireflies is estimated to be unattainable.

It's not that they haven't seen slow-moving dramas, but it's impossible to increase the ratings several times on the basis of the original stable ratings.

With joy in my heart, I also felt that the deal was well done.

Firefly takes a little less, which means Fox earns.

After slowly finishing the meeting and signing the renewal contract, Fox successively made efforts to build momentum for Breaking Bad through its media mouthpieces, consolidating the impression of the quality of the show's reputation.

In fact, compared to media resources, there is really no one more convenient than Fox, which is backed by News Corporation.

For a while, media comments and film critic columns were either sincere or obeying orders, and most of them were praising Breaking Bad, from the character performance to the plot design to the details of the clues buried. There are too many places to talk about.

And Bryan Scranton is also like the old white in the play. In the face of the wind and clouds, he rides the wind and goes straight. He jumped from a second- or third-rate actor to an older actor who played a supporting role, and directly became the most famous TV actor in Hollywood recently. .

Subsequently, while contacting advertisers, Fox began to contact overseas TV stations, and another wave of profits.

Of course, most of these overseas TV stations belong to the Fox TV network, and only a few areas are not covered.

But overseas branches also have to pay a copyright fee to play, and Firefly can still get the money.

This can also be regarded as the copyright revenue-generating model of American dramas. The more standardized it is, the more conducive it is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the studio.

The benefits of the separation of production and broadcasting are reflected in this.

Good dramas can sell for good prices, and bad dramas don’t have to pay attention to losses and keep them off the shelves. For TV stations, good content can also bring a better foundation for profit.

The charm of Breaking Bad has also been highlighted one after another...
