413 Chapter 411 (1/2)
Andrew is a thoughtful person.
Because of the good results of ”Prison Break”, it can be regarded as a new situation in the TV series. Naturally, it is unwilling to remain silent. In a short period of time, in addition to contacting more advertisers to pull funds, the company's production department Also cooperated with another film and television company for a new drama.
It also focuses on the youth market. It is a campus comedy genre. It is scheduled to be played at 10 o'clock in the evening after ”Prison Break”.
Thanks to the audience traffic driven by ”Prison Break”, the first episode of the trial broadcast also had a ratings of 1.7. Although it is not high, the production costs of the series are not much. If you keep it, you can still make good profits.
Unfortunately, the WB TV station did not form the most favorable momentum for multi-situation development.
Other programs, should it not work or not.
It's like NBC's bonuses played by ”Friends”, other aspects of performance have also risen sharply.
And Lehman didn't reveal any idea of making a new drama, so Andrew wanted to use the production capacity of Firefly Pictures to open up the WB TV station, and his aggressive plan naturally failed.
Fortunately, he held the broadcasting copyright of ”Prison Break” ahead of time, and before the three seasons mentioned by Lehmann finished broadcasting, he would not immediately fall into depravity.
Regarding the performance of this drama, it can be regarded as refreshing his psychological expectations. At present, as long as the situation can be stabilized, the TV station is undoubtedly the most assured.
Andrew's ”sight” was also praised by some senior officials in Warner headquarters.
The reorganization that I mentioned earlier has also lost its voice.
After all, for Warner, as long as the WB TV station can be self-sufficient, it doesn't matter if it can't make money, don't keep getting blood transfusions.
Then, entering the first weekend of November, Lismanwish Pictures had a different movement.
Charles did not appear as harmonious as he used to be in a cooperation appointment with ABC.
”How can you do this? This is an act that violates the spirit of the contract. I won't agree.”
Charles angrily yelled at an acquaintance he had worked with many times-a man with glasses, thin hair, about fifty years old, and one of the executives of the ABC TV series, Rodel.
Rodel looked at him so angry, but he still looked as if he hadn't heard him, without the slightest anger.
After all, what he did was to offend people, and people should be angry.
”This is the meaning of the above, I just deal with you often, and I will let you know in advance. If I refuse, the schedule of the broadcast will not be coordinated.”
Charles's face darkened.
The new drama ”Man to Middle Age” produced by my own company hasn't done ”Prison Break”. Nowadays, ABC even tears up the signed broadcasting contract.
I want to downgrade ”Middle Age”, cut it in half, and replace it with other new dramas to compete with WB in order to win the favor of advertisers.
You must know that the production cost of ”Middle Age” is not high, and the ratings were 2 during the trial broadcast. Renewal is definitely a profit and a win-win situation.
But now, tell him no, ABC will no longer be broadcast.
Play it!
The love of cooperation in the past did not give Charles any face.
Can you not be angry?
In all fairness.
”Man to Middle Age” is a small production of sitcom type.
It does not overlap with the audience market of ”Prison Break”. No matter how popular ”Prison Break” is, it will not affect much.
The previous life has also been successfully broadcast for a season, which is the type that makes money steadily.
It won't break out, and it's hard to lose the market. Unfortunately, Lehman hit Lehman with ”Prison Break” at the wrong time. After a big fish appeared in the winter schedule, ABC couldn't bear to play this mediocre drama.
