Chapter 498 (1/2)
”Desperate Housewives” officially opens on Thursday, September 17.
It's a golden time for TV series.
On the other hand, it has to be said that the opening time node of desperate housewives is really a little flattering.
Not long after the Forbes list of the 400 richest people in the United States was released, the hot debate still did not subside. Just at this time, it was rumored that a TV play directed and created by Simon westero was on the air, and even the women's program of a women's TV station naturally attracted a lot of attention.
USA TV network has also seized this opportunity and spared no effort to promote desperate housewives.
Of course, just as box office is to a movie, for a TV series, ratings are always an unavoidable topic, ”Desperate Housewives” in the end, still depends on ratings.
”Desperate Housewives” finally, on its first day of broadcasting, the average audience of the first episode of ”Desperate Housewives” reached 7.36 million, with a core audience rating of 4.1 between the ages of 18 and 49. At the same time, the highest number of viewers of the whole first episode of the series also surged to a high of 8.71 million, and the highest number appeared in the second half of the first episode, which also vaguely indicates that the ratings of subsequent episodes of desperate housewives are likely to continue to rise.
Meanwhile, ”Desperate Housewives” reached sixth place in ratings on Thursday night.
The top five are all TV programs of public TV network.
In contrast, the second episode of the second season of ”New York wife”, which was originally intended to be the lead of ”Desperate Housewives”, has an average audience of 5.91 million, with a core audience rating of 2.7, which is a bit higher than the average audience of 5.76 million in the first episode.
You know, usually, the audience rating of the first episode of a non premiere sequel is relatively high.
Obviously, the New York wife not only did not lead the popularity of desperate housewives, but also increased the audience rating due to the influence of desperate housewives.
On Thursday night, NBC's law and order, with 17.56 million viewers and 10.7 ratings, had the highest ratings.
The ratings of law and order and desperate housewives seem to be quite different. However, the coverage of NBC is almost nationwide, while the audience coverage of USA is only one third of the population of the United States. Moreover, the positioning of women's TV station of USA television network once again limits the play of desperate housewives.
Under the dual influence, ”Desperate Housewives” has reached an average audience of 7.36 million, and it continues to rise. As a cable TV series, it has reached the ”phenomenal level”.
If the two plays are put on the same platform, it is not hard to imagine that the ratings of desperate housewives can definitely beat law and order.
With the exposure of the ratings data of desperate housewives and the hot discussion in the media, many cable TV suppliers have started to contact danilisi entertainment, hoping to introduce USA TV network.
In order to speed up the promotion of USA TV network, the cable TV network has not increased the share of operators in the past year. However, as the number of operators requiring the introduction of USA TV network increases, the management team can also start to consider raising the share price.
At the same time, the rise in the advertising price of USA TV network is immediate.
While busy planning the follow-up development strategy, danielis entertainment also announced that it held a celebration party for the creative team of the series at the weekend after the broadcast of desperate housewives.
Although USA TV network is jointly owned by Denise entertainment and paramount communications, the location of the celebration party is naturally chosen in the activity center of Maribu Denise studios.
On September 19, when it was dark, the staff activity center on the second floor of danielis studio was already full of people.
The three main programs of USA TV network have been put on the shelves one after another recently, not only ”Desperate Housewives” just started, but also the other two, the new season ”Beverly's wife” and ”New York's wife” have also obtained very good ratings data. In addition, the creators of some other programs of the TV network have also been invited. Therefore, the party hall is obviously with a few friends It means that Yin is flourishing and Yang is declining.
”Ms. ward, your role as the perfect housewife Bree is so wonderful and charming. I can't wait to see the second episode.”
”Thank you Sir
”My name is Jon Peterson.”
”Oh, I know, Mr. Peterson. Nice to meet you.”
”Nice to meet you, too,” Jon Peterson politely shook hands with Sheila ward again, and then said casually, ”by the way, Ms. ward, I happen to have a project role that suits you very well. Can I leave a contact information? Maybe we can have a chat sometime?”
Although she used to have a very low coffee position, Sheila ward knew a lot about Hollywood's internal trends.
As the head of Sony's Columbia film business, and one of Hollywood's oldest producers, he has worked with Spielberg and other celebrities. If it's other actresses, Jon Peterson's suggestion can be easily ”captured.”.But at this time, listening to the middle-aged man in front of her, the smile on Shira Ward's face didn't change much, but her eyes subconsciously looked for the next one in the crowd.
Still didn't see a guy.
