I’m in Hollywood

On Wednesday, the temporary production of the new episode of The Sophia Talk Show was officially broadcast on CBS TV. The original guest of this episode should have been a famous rugby player. When many rugby fans sat in front of the TV and waited for their idols to appear At that time, it was found that the guest was replaced by the young director Eric Williams, so some die-hard fans called the TV station to question.

But most TV viewers are not so picky, but have a feeling of surprise. After all, Eric's current influence is not comparable to a football player.

Wow, I didn't expect the shootout to be filmed like this, it's so cool.

...

Eric Williams' bad joke is so hilarious, the robbers are playing poker with the SWAT guys lol...

...

Why has Drew Barrymore been invisible? There has been no news of her in the media since Return to Seventeen.

...

Eric is so scary when he's angry, he doesn't look like that at all.

It's not surprising. He is so young and wants those employees who are older than him to be obedient. How can he not be aggressive.

...

All kinds of talk appear in front of the TV in thousands of households. Because of the summer vacation, the proportion of teenagers in front of the TV has greatly increased, and Eric's influence among teenagers is estimated to be more than that of ordinary idol stars. Gao, after all, as a peer, if you exceed 100 meters of others, you may cause all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred, but if you exceed 10,000 meters, most of what you receive is worship. Therefore, when many young people saw Eric's rare appearance on the TV, they could not help but call their classmates and remind them to watch the show.

The influence of The Sophia Talk Show is far from comparable to that of The Oprah Talk Show. Although the latter has only appeared for a few years, it has an average audience rating of more than 11 million people per episode, and it follows the trend. The Sophia Talk Show has an average viewership of only around 4 million.

At the beginning of this program, the original viewership data was only 4.2 million, but as the program was broadcast, the viewership curve soared. After the 40-minute program was broadcast, the number of viewers had stopped at 7.5 million. , almost doubled. After the program was completed, the CBS TV hotline was directly hit.

If the publicity can be done a week in advance, the viewership rate of the show will definitely exceed 10 million, a CBS executive said regretfully after seeing the ratings statistics.

Among the audience's hotline calls, more than 70% hope that CBS can rebroadcast as soon as possible, while other reasons account for 30%. Some people hope that the Dark War crew can be on the show together. Drew and Eric appeared on the screen together, and a large number of people asked if the tapes in Eric's hands would be released to the market.

CBS organized the audience's feedback into files and sent it to Columbia and Firefly, and also complied with the public's invitation to Eric, Drew and the leading actors of Dark War, although Columbia was very moved, after all, this can be used again The movie propaganda campaign, but was rejected by Eric and others.

If it wasn't for the purpose of clarifying the rumors, Eric would have appeared on the talk show. Eric refused, and Drew would certainly not have gone.

The agents of Cruise and Hanks also felt that the influence of this show was a little small.

It doesn't fit the identities of the two superstars, but Brooke Shields is a little moved. Dark War brought a very good turning point to her career, but CBS, who was rejected by Eric and the two Toms at the same time, was nothing. I'm interested, and the other big coffees are not on it, so there is nothing topical if only the girl is invited. After all, Bo Ji Xiaosi only appeared in Dark War for a few minutes, although The Sophia Talk Show Its influence is far less than that of The Oprah Show, but CBS is a national TV station anyway, and it has not yet reached the point of starvation.

Although the invitation was rejected, CBS quickly came up with a way to maximize benefits after communicating with all parties. When Eric participated in the recording of the program, he accumulated more than two hours of material, while the talk show program Only forty minutes.

Therefore, CBS re-edited these two hours of material into the next episode, which was broadcast in the next two days. Because of the short-term promotion during the golden period of the night, it was re-edited the next day. The viewership rating of the previous episode reached 9 million, and when the next episode aired on Friday, the viewership reached 10 million, and even reached 12 million at the peak.

A daytime show with a rating of tens of millions can be treated as an ace show. Oprah's Talk Show has been brilliant for more than 20 years because of this average score.

In order to maintain the victory, CBS directly gave up several episodes of the program that had already been produced, and spent a lot of money to invite other more important guests, in an attempt to create a talk show comparable to The Oprah Show. But in the end, the other party can only be disappointed. As Eric judged at the beginning, the biggest problem of this show lies in the host Sofia Temple, not that the other party is not good enough, but Sofia Temple's character is not good enough. Suitable for hosting a talk show.

Therefore, after the second week, the ratings of this talk show experienced a miraculous peak. Although they changed more important guests, the ratings still slowly declined. In the end, CBS could only give up its efforts. Originally, Eric participated. The few episodes of the show also became the insurmountable peak of this talk show, until the show was cut off by CBS and Sophia Temple moved behind the scenes, and the ratings never reached that high.

Of course, these are all things to come later. The questioning of the gunmen of Dark War quickly disappeared after the CBS talk show. After all, after the talk show aired, especially the next and second episodes, the show played more than 20 minutes of shooting footage. Eric went from setting up the scene, to the actors, to the detailed shooting process. All the places are shown in front of the audience, and the big scenes like blocking the streets from time to time also tell everyone that there is no possibility of forgery in the videotape, so anyone who raises such doubts is purely a test of the audience's IQ.

George Northam didn't come out again after The Sophia Show aired, because Columbia Pictures directly pressured Premier magazine to force the other side to fire the other side, after all, because of George Northam's one This article almost caused immeasurable losses to Colombia. If Colombia does nothing, it will be too bullying.

Although several other major film companies secretly applauded George Northam's article that blocked Colombia, they didn't want it to be their turn in the future, so George Northam also boarded six major film companies as a film critic at the same time. blacklist.
