Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 381: Barbie

Compared to Emily’s sentimental faction, ABC’s Billy Palmer believes more in statistics.

He is the ABC person who advocates buying "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", and he is also a follower of this animation after the purchase.

For him, just one sentence feels good, but it can't be negotiated.

Only with good ratings data can he get rid of the pressure and exhale.

Therefore, as soon as the premiere episode of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" ended, he urged the staff under him to start counting the ratings ——

"The highest number of viewers is 8 million, and the average number of viewers is 5 million, which is great!"

Although this is only a rough statistic, many details are not detailed enough, but after seeing it, Billy Palmer's hanging heart was suddenly relieved.

In fact, the number of viewers around 5 million is not ranked in the rankings of TV program ratings in the United States.

Not to mention the major league finals, Oscars, and other key programs that are only once or twice a year. They are popular American dramas. At the finale, they will hit an average of 20 million and the highest number of viewers is 30 million, which is quite normal. of.

However, that is generally the finale.

For newly-launched episodes, the average number of viewers is 5 million, and the highest number of viewers is 8 million, which is a pretty good result.

What's more, according to audience feedback, many audiences feel that 3D production is more beautiful and lovely than traditional TV animation, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", which is very interesting.

Many people are therefore reminded of the animated film "Toy Story" that was released two years ago.

This naturally brought a lot of viewers to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

And the production of this animation is indeed very sophisticated.

Especially in terms of plot design, although most of the time was spent on setting up due to the first episode, and did not enter the too interesting plot part, Charlotte, who produced this animation, still relied on his grasp of the rhythm. Ability to make the whole episode look very interesting very well.

"Many of the plots are unexpected and reasonable!"

Billy Palmer sighed.

"Charlotte Booth is worthy of being a great director. He has produced an animated cartoon in a playful nature, and he can even reach this level!"

——For Charlotte, who can bring her own benefits, Billy Palmer is naturally not hesitating to praise.

*********

And in the second week, after episode 2 of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was played, Billy Palmer couldn't wait to hug Charlotte and kiss!

The average is 5.89 million and the highest is 8.99 million!

The increase in the number of viewers is quite obvious!

From the growth curve, it is already obvious to see the viewership potential of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"——

This is likely to be another hit series.

-Even if it is a cartoon!

In other words, it is precisely because "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a cartoon, its hits can bring more benefits to ABC!

You know, the current owner of ABC is Disney, which started out as an animated movie!

They know very well what is the biggest advantage of cartoons——

Sell around!

Children's enthusiasm for surrounding toys is much higher than that of adults.

And in this world, besides women's money, is there any better money than children's money?

Well, there is still it, that is the girl's money!

Disney has always been holding on to its own princess series of animated movies, and would rather release the next one at a loss at the box office. If you don't collect all the princesses of all races in the world, it won't stop, isn't it because of this!

—— Even if the box office loses money, Mattel’s copyright money is enough to make Disney return to its blood.

How many little girls in the world do not like Barbie?

Anyway, thinking about the future of the money scene, Billy Palmer felt hot.

The only thing that made him depressed was that the producer of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was not an ABC studio, but the Great Director Charlotte Booth's Ghost Party studio.

This means that the surrounding development leadership is held in the hands of the other party.

Although Billy Palmer thinks that ABC wants to reach a development agreement with the other party, it shouldn't be difficult.

——After all, the Ghost Party Studio is just a pure content provider. In peripheral development, it has neither experience nor strength. After all, it is looking for a partner.

But who will lead the cooperation is a question.

You know, Charlotte Booth is not the kind of author who became famous for the first time. With his reputation and connections, he has strong bargaining power.

Thinking of this, Billy Palmer had a headache for a while...

**********

Compared to Billy Palma who got into the eyes of money, as a pure audience, Emily and Jaina had a good life.

After experiencing the co-watching and awkward chat of the premiere episode, although the relationship between the two girls is not completely harmonious, the number of times they mock each other is much less.

Sometimes Jaina will watch some movies she hasn't seen before under Emily's introduction.

——Although the depreciation of duplicity is inevitable afterwards.

But Emily didn't care about it either.

When the second episode of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was broadcast, the two girls sat in front of the TV in the bedroom together again...

"I really want to have a magic wand!"

Jaina couldn't help sighing, seeing all the interesting reactions when Harry Potter tried the wand.

"It should be there soon!"

Emily is calm~www.readwn.com~ As a senior movie fan and familiar with the entertainment industry, she explained,

"As long as the cartoon is hot, the surroundings will usually be developed soon, and there will naturally be a variety of magic wands for you to choose from!"

——There is even an XX device in the shape of a magic wand!

Thinking of the wonderful gift that her dad gave in order to pursue the beautiful policewoman who caught him, Emily suddenly felt that her dad's pursuit was still unsuccessful, and it was justified.

Jaina didn't know what Emily was making in her heart, so she pursed her mouth.

"What I want is a real magic wand!"

"..."

——How could there be that stuff! ?

Emily suddenly felt that when she watched "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", her bitch-shaped roommate's entire personality collapsed.

Is that look that was originally a disguise?

Or the effect of "magic"?

Emily also didn't know how to describe it.

And Jaina's process of collapsing the character is still continuing-

"Platform nine and three-quarters? The magic steam train here is so interesting!"

"That's true! But for the steam train—"

Emily suddenly remembered a story that Rajesh told Howard when she was chatting with the Shelton quartet.
