Early early in the morning, North America's large number of newspaper appeared with headlines in bold and bold, such as 'Friends', '30 million', and 'Viewing Miracle'. Various comments also appeared overwhelmingly on In front of people.
"Spoiled Rachel Green, not strong, Monica. Geller, who is strong and clean, Phoebe Buffy, who behaves strangely and offline, likes Ross. Geller, who is cautious, humorous Chandler Bin, the simple-minded Joey Tribbiani ... Only two episodes were played, Eric Williams used those simple and trivial shots to create six screen images with distinctive characters for us, and also let the audience in just one hour, I fell in love with these six virtual characters. "
"Close to reality and interesting plots can more resonate with the audience. 《Friends》31.7 million premiere results prove this again. When the audience sees the bits and pieces of the six protagonists living in the New York apartment, it seems like Seeing the shadow of his life, this may be the most important factor in the success of this sitcom. Just like ABC, which is still popular in "Growing Pains", Eric Williams is worthy of being a genius. The details of life come together in one piece. The interesting conversation was firmly captured by the audience. "
“The fun dialogue between the protagonists of 《Friends》 will undoubtedly become a buzzword among young people for a long time. Only two episodes were broadcast, and the personalities of the six protagonists have been shaped and full. I I am looking forward to the next plot more and more. I believe that of course Eric Williams of screenwriter will certainly bring more surprises to the audience in the plot. There is no doubt that who made him Eric Williams. "

Among countless praises, of course, different opinions are indispensable. 《Los Angeles Metropolis News》 is doing a simple survey. According to random interviews with 《Friends》 viewers, it was found that less than 60% of the viewers were very satisfied with the plot, and more than 20% of the interviewed viewers said that 《Friends》 did not meet their expectations. The remaining 20% of the audience think that the quality of 《Friends》 is average.
So 《Los Angeles Metropolis News》 ’s review article concluded that 《Friends》 ’s ratings surpassing 30 million ’s audience miracle was entirely the result of a series of hype. The results of the survey indicate that the quality of 《Friends》 has clearly not reached the expectations of many Eric Williams viewers is psychological expectations, and then will definitely usher in this ratings plunge.
Similar to 《Los Angeles Metropolis News》, there are more than one newspaper media that looks down on 《Friends》 ’s ratings, but this kind of speech can only generally sway the ordinary people. As long as you have a little professional knowledge, you understand the miracle of 《Friends》. With the help of hype, but if the quality is not enough, it is impossible to reach an average of 31.7 million viewers. 《Friends》 has only played two episodes and has proved its great strength. There are more than 30 million audience ratings. Even if there will be a big decline in ratings next time, the number of viewers will definitely be over 2,000.
For TV series, the number of viewers exceeding 20 million is definitely super hot.
North America ABC, NBC and CBS three old brands TV Station originally did not pay much attention to Fox TV Station. The youngest ABC of the three major TV Stations has been developed for half a century, and the history of NBC and CBS is even longer.
Over the years, more than one media group has attempted to challenge the status of the three major TV Station, but without exception, all ended in failure.
Therefore, even News Corp invited Barry Diller, known as the arrogant of the media world, to form the TV Network business. Even if Fox has already established TV Network, which ranked fourth in entire US in just a few years. But in the eyes of the three major TV Station, Fox is still just a newcomer into the North America TV circle. After all, no matter how large the scale is. After all, TV Station is based on the ratings of the program, but Fox has not had any good TV programs in recent years. Before 《Friends》, the highest ratings of Fox TV Station did not even exceed the number of 20 million, and the highest ratings of the three major TV Station with Super Bowl rotating broadcast rights are all 100 million, even if it is usually, the three major TV Station can easily come up with several ratings. Ace program over 20 million.
So, although News Corp made a lot of noise in North America, Rupert Murdoch specifically added United States nationality in order to gain the power to form TV Network. However, the three major TV Stations all took a stand-by attitude towards the "upstart" from Australia. Waiting for the opponent to come back again like other challengers.
The number of viewers with 《Friends》 exceeding 30 million was born, and the top three TV Station executives were fully awake. They just found out. Unconsciously, Fox's TV Network, which was established only a few years ago, already has more than 100 networked TV Station, covering more than 90% of the United States local area. The first reaction of the three major TV Stations is to absolutely not allow Fox to continue to develop. After all, the local TV market size of United States is fixed. If Fox rises, then it definitely means that the market share of the three major TV Station will be reduced on a large scale.
The top executives of the three major TV Stations rarely met in an emergency meeting. After several hours of consultation, the first countermeasure was to take the broadcast rights of 《Friends》 after the second season from Fox at all costs. Even if possible, the next episode of the first season of 《Friends》 will be taken directly, even if you pay a high penalty for Eric Williams. Without 《Friends》, the expansion of Fox will definitely slow down again, then the three major TV Stations will have enough time to slowly pick up the Fox ‘outsiders’.
What the top three TV Station executives can think of, whether it ’s CEO Barry Diller of Fox or Rupert Murdoch at the helm of News Corp, certainly can also be imagined. Although several movies of Eric have brought huge benefits to Fox, Rupert Murdoch did n’t pay too much attention to Eric at all, but regarded him as a new Director in cooperation with Fox, so Murdoch had never met Eric before. But this time is different. The newspaper group of Murdoch has developed to the extreme. The current main ambition is above TV Network. The 《Friends》 of Eric has brought important opportunities for the rapid expansion of his TV Network, plus the stubbornness of the three major TV Station. For that reason, Murdoch has the necessity of personally coming to pull Eric.
So, when Eric participated in the opening ceremony of the 46th Venice Film Festival on the evening of September 4, a huge Boeing private plane landed at Venice Marco Polo International Airport. (To be continued)
