American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 221: Responses from all parties, unprecedented success
In an ordinary residential building near the broken room, two people pushed the door open and walked in, carrying plastic bags from the supermarket. They were the two young DJs, Brother 3 and Yinghao, who had just gone out to buy daily necessities.

"The female clerk just now asked me why I settled here, and I said I was the resident DJ in the Bad Room. Guess what, she left me her phone number and told me to go and see her cat when I have time. The cat can do backflips." Brother 3 said with a smile.

"You are so lucky." Yinghao was not so lucky. His dull appearance was obviously not popular among girls.

"You will have it too. The population of the United States is 20 times that of the Netherlands. In other words, there are 20 times more EZGs. The only downside is that we can't buy alcohol here at our age." Brother 3 took out a can of Coke from the plastic bag, threw one bottle to Yinghao, and opened the other one himself.

Then turn on the lights in the living room.

"This is really big." Brother 3 sat on the sofa and sat down a few times.

"It's also soft enough for a girl to lie on it and do a lot of different poses." Brother 3 gestured.

"Then you'd better ask her to keep her voice down. I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night." He finally opened the can of Coke.

"You can put on your headphones and turn on the TV. I haven't watched any American TV stations. I heard some of the shows are pretty exciting."

"Then it has to be a late-night time slot, and it has to be a pay channel, like HBO or something like that." Yinghao obviously knew more.

The two young men with nothing to do were just flipping through the channels quickly.

"Why are there so many sports programs?" Brother 3 muttered. He was not interested in various sports programs.

The scene jumped again, and what came into view was a woman with curly brown hair, wearing a yellow restaurant uniform.

"Wait! I've seen her!" Yinghao's eyes widened and he quickly asked his third brother to stop.

"Did you see it in a dream?" Brother 3 joked.

"No, I mistook her for a waitress next to the boss. This is another boss lady. You must never tell anyone about this." Yinghao reminded.

"So, this is the TV series that Ryan invested in?"

"It's not just an investment. Didn't you hear what Di Pineapple said? This is a script written by the boss."

"I prefer to ghostwrite. My boss is busy with electronic music every day, so how can he have time to write scripts?" Brother 3 expressed his opinion.

"No matter whether he wrote it or not, as long as he signed his name on it, it is his work. The same applies to our industry." Yinghao said.

"What is this show about? I know, it's a sitcom. Did you hear the canned laughter? It's quite interesting to watch." Brother 3 put down the remote control.

Soon the two of them were laughing so hard at the jokes in the play that they were rolling on the floor. After a while, they were laughing until tears came out.

"I like this drama!" Brother 3 patted his thigh.

"It's really interesting. At least you two are very pleasing to the eyes!" Yinghao took a sip of Coke.

"I want to be the second Ryan! I want to have a big star fiancée, and I can fuck all kinds of female stars." Brother 3 is full of fighting spirit.

"Then you have to have at least five singles that can rank in the top ten of the Billboard. I will be satisfied if I can have just one." Yinghao said.

Just like the two young people, more and more people are attracted to this TV series in home televisions in cities across the United States.

Just as most people are attracted by the beauty of the two heroines at first, and are amused by the obscene jokes in the lines at second, and after becoming familiar with the characters and their relationships, they begin to immerse themselves in the plot.

Time flies fast. Situation comedies are often shorter than normal dramas, with the longest being no more than half an hour. The first episode aired tonight is only 24 minutes long.

"Is this the end?" Brother 3 seemed unsatisfied.

"At least there's still something to watch next Friday." Yinghao couldn't help laughing.

Far away in New York, Karlie Kloss also seemed a little unsatisfied. She skillfully opened the fan forum on her laptop, and the event that had just ended indeed caused heated discussion.

[Please let me watch one more episode. I'll do anything.]

【her name plz】

[Lock in the Best Sitcom at next year's Emmy Awards in advance! ]

The chats were scrolling so fast that Carly couldn't even read the content.

She switched to a more private chat group.

[Paris Hilton: I have time this week @Ryan @Ryan @Ryan, let me make a guest appearance, I will do anything you ask me to do. ]

[Ryan: Hand over your sister.]

[Nikki Hilton: …]

[Paris Hilton: Nicki, you can't bear to see your sister being forgotten by the public, so I'll leave this matter to you (smile)]

[Nikki: (sweating) Go have fun on your own, both of you! Don’t take me with you.]

[Gao Mei: I watched the live broadcast online, and I think this drama will definitely be a hit.]

【Ao Mei: It’s broken. 】

【Lydia: How come it's over? 】

[Ashley: Ryan will probably focus more on the series in the future! ]

[Ryan: Then I won’t be able to explain to Delphine.]

The implication is that everything remains the same.

Carly went straight to another chat group, which was filled with Taylor and her friends.

Taylor: Photo

This is a selfie. Behind Taylor are many audience members. It was obviously taken at a tour.

[Taylor: Ryan's new show is great! Everyone loves it.]

[Emma Stone: Honey, can you talk to Ryan about my guest appearance? (silly smile)]

[Dianna Agron: And me! (smirk)]

【Selena: Oh, I just can’t help it. (crying)】

Selena is from the Disney Channel, so naturally she can't appear in the CW channel's drama.

Carly quickly started typing as well.

[I also want to make a cameo appearance (poor guy)]

[Taylor: Don't worry, we have them all, we'll arrange them one by one. Ryan said that the first season of this show will have more than 20 episodes, so I'm sure we can fit you all in.]

[Taylor: Also, Emma, is there still a chance for what you told me before? ]

[Emma Stone: The door is always open for you. Did you see Ryan trying this? Are you tempted too?]

【Taylor: (laughing silly) Almost. I'll discuss this with Ryan. I won't take action until he gives his nod.】

[Emma Stone: No problem! Please contact me if you have any news.]

Is this the last time? Carly couldn't help but think back to the opportunity Emma Stone mentioned when she last saw Taylor. Taylor didn't seem very interested at the time, but now her mind might have changed.

Then Carly received another call.

"Honey, are you awake yet?" a female voice came from the other end of the line.

"You called me so late, what's the matter, Anna?" Carly asked. The caller was Anna Vyalitina.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you and Ryan have had any quarrels recently?" Anna said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"What do you mean?" Carly didn't understand at all.

"What else could it mean? Stop pretending. Everyone knows about your relationship with Ryan." Anna chuckled.

"What am I pretending to be?"

"I know where Taylor Swift is standing, you're just embarrassed to admit it. It doesn't matter, this kind of relationship is normal. Rosie and I are going to Florida for a few days, and we'll go to the bad room and sit there. You can come with us," Anna suggested.

Her idea was simple. If she could bring Carly, who was closest to Ryan, along, she would definitely be able to meet Ryan.

"I'm busy." Carly said.

She naturally understood what these two people wanted to do. They wanted to visit Ryan more often and get closer to him so that when Ryan needed anything in the future, he could think of them. To put it bluntly, it was all for the sake of getting promoted.

The competition in the modeling industry is fierce and there are no standards. If you want to stand out, you have to rely on connections.

Ryan has already established a firm foothold in the music industry, then entered the fashion industry, and now has entered the television industry. Any little bit of talent that comes out from between his fingers is a valuable resource.

Carly knows that she has been able to get to where she is today because of the opportunity she got from Dior and Ryan's help. Other models know the importance of relationships even more.

"Come if you want, but don't accuse me of stealing your godfather when the time comes." Anna said with a smile.

"I have nothing to do with Ryan," Carly reiterated.

"When others think you have a relationship with him, you'd better really have one." Anna sneered.

Carly hesitated to speak.

"Okay, it's a deal. We'll meet in Orlando in three days. Don't stand us up!"

"Wait..." Carly was about to speak when the other party hung up the phone.

On the top floor of the luxury apartment where Carly lived, a woman was sitting on a chic finger sofa, watching the CW channel.

She was supposed to watch the upcoming "America's Next Top Model," a talent show produced and hosted by the famous model Tyra Banks, which Ivanka watched on time every week. She had also been a model, like Lydia, more as a hobby.

What she didn't expect was that this new show before America's Next Top Model this week was quite interesting, at least it really made people laugh.

"Ryan Rivers? Isn't the nightclub I'm going to in a few days founded by him? He is really talented." Ivanka thought to herself.

·
Bad Room Nightclub, upper floor, Ryan's office.

Ryan was observing the discussion about the drama on the Internet. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that about 80% of the people were full of praise for the drama. Although the rest felt that there were too many dirty jokes in the series, which made it a bit vulgar, they also felt that the character designs were relatively novel and they were considered to have a neutral attitude.

The sense of visuals given by the series did not disappoint my expectations.

Then Ryan received a call from Julie: "The response so far has been overwhelming! This could be the biggest success ever, in every sense of the word."

I could hear joy on the other end of the phone.

Then Julie handed the phone to Terry who was beside her.

"At least no one will be unemployed." Terry finally showed relief.

The call was passed around and finally reached Daddario.

"Ryan, I might really be famous," Daddario said on the other end of the phone. She was so excited that she was about to cry.

The phone was then handed to Amber: "Thank you."

She wasn't as excited as Daddario, but her tone was more sincere than ever.

"Everyone takes what they need." Ryan said matter-of-factly.

Two hours later.

Ryan received a call from someone claiming to be the director of program development at CW TV station.

"Congratulations Ryan, the Nielsen data for the premiere is out, and the average audience for the premiere was as high as 1937 million. This is the highest rating for a comedy series premiere since the fall of 2001, and it is also the highest premiere rating for CW since its inception." The other party said the most exciting words in the most calm tone.

"1900 million. I see." Ryan had no idea about the exact number of viewers, but hearing that it broke various records, it was obviously a great success.

"Surprised, right? Everyone who knows this number is surprised, including me." The person on the other end of the phone continued.

You...I didn't hear that.

Ryan found that the woman's tone was actually quite calm.

"If you have any questions about the series in the future, you can call me directly. This is the arrangement of the station director. All the needs of this series will be greenlit by the station. The premise is that it is within the scope of responsibility of the CW TV station. My name is Guy Hirsch, and I am the director of program development and vice president of the channel." She introduced herself formally.

"I wonder how many viewers watched The Vampire Diaries premiere yesterday," Ryan couldn't help but ask.

"Just yesterday, The Vampire Diaries set a record with 491 million viewers for its premiere."

“In other words, 2 Broke Girls raised the ratings of its first broadcast by nearly four times?”

"Yes, this premiere data almost locked in the top ten ratings for the whole year. According to last year's data, the average ratings of American Idol, which ranked first, were only over 1900 million, and the highest-rated drama, NCIS, had an average audience of only 1800 million. NBC's Sunday Night Football had an average audience of only million."

"So, the number of viewers of this sitcom is more than the number of people watching football?" Ryan was a little shocked.

"Of course not. What I just said was the average ratings. For a TV series, the number of viewers for the first episode is often the highest, and then it gradually decreases." Guy explained.

“Even so, 2 Broke Girls is still the best drama on CW? Am I right in understanding this?”

"Of course, although it has only aired one episode, 248 Broke Girls can definitely become a pillar of the CW, provided that the quality is maintained. Gossip Girl's average audience last season was only 391 million. America's Next Top Model's average audience for Season was only million."

"What about Two and a Half Men?"

"The average audience is 1400 million, and The Big Bang Theory is about the same. Grey's Anatomy has an average audience of 1300 million, which is basically the same as The Good Wife. Desperate Housewives has 1200 million, Ghost Whisperer has 700 million, Hell's Kitchen is similar, and The Apprentice also has an average audience of 700 million. The average audience of The Simpsons and Law & Order is also around this number. The average audience of the first season of Breaking Bad, which I watched myself, was actually only 150 million." Guy continued to explain to Ryan.

Ryan has a rough idea of the audience figures for major American television shows.

The audience of sitcoms is relatively high. With such a good start, 2 Broke Girls can definitely compete for the top three in sitcoms.

"Again, as long as the quality of the series does not decline, the income will immediately increase, such as distribution to TV stations around the world, as well as the distribution of DVDs and online copyrights."

"Internet copyright?"

"Yes, on the Hulu platform, CW TV station is signing an agreement with this platform. 2 Broke Girls will be one of the first CW programs to be on this website. This is a media program website that will cover almost all TV stations' programs in the future," Guy explained.

Hulu is a product of traditional TV media coming together to cope with the network impact of Netflix. The name actually comes from the Chinese word "hulu".

“How much money can all of this add up to?”

"It depends on the specific situation. The broadcast agreement price per episode is ten, twenty, or even fifty times higher, provided that there are enough episodes. This is a long cycle."

The final revenue of one episode can be increased tenfold? Wouldn't that be 10 million?

There are more than twenty episodes in one season, and the total revenue added up is...quite amazing.

"Ok, let's get 2 Broke Girls on these promotional channels as soon as possible. This will be the biggest help to the series." Ryan said.
