Chapter 924 Victory
At 5:30 p.m. the next day, "Tom and Jerry" and "Transformers" were broadcast on nbc and mmc at the same time.
Countless American children are sitting at home honestly during this time period, waiting to watch the cartoon they have been looking forward to.
In an ordinary building in Washington, two six-year-old twins were arguing over the remote control.
"What's so good about "Tom and Jerry", I want to watch "Transformers"." shouted a child with a Transformers toy in his hand.
"Nonsense, "Tom and Jerry" still looks good. You are the younger brother, I am the older brother, I have the final say." Another child standing on the sofa said loudly without showing weakness.
"Mom said that the elder brother should let the younger brother."
"I used to let you, but not today."
The two of you said one sentence to me, and they kept arguing.
Seeing that it was almost time for the broadcast, the younger brother saw that he couldn't take it, so he used the ultimate trick that used to be invincible: sitting on the ground and crying.
After a while, under the force of my mother, my elder brother pouted and handed the remote control to his younger brother reluctantly.
After watching an episode, though, "Transformers" will be replaced by "Tom and Jerry."
Twenty minutes later, the first episode of "Transformers" ended, and the younger brother handed over the remote control to the older brother.
The fascinated brother was taken aback for a moment, then pretended to be a little adult, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, let's watch "Transformers". Mom is right, brother should let brother."
"Long live brother.
"My younger brother jumped up and down with joy, unaware that his older brother gave it to him on purpose because he liked this cartoon.
Data monitoring room of mmc TV station
After the first episode of "Transformers" ended, Raul, who had been staying inside, asked impatiently, "Has the ratings been counted?"
A staff member turned his head and said happily: "The highest rating is 2.1%, and the average rating is 1.48%."
MMC TV ranks very low in the entire United States, otherwise Sal would not have sold his villa in order to raise funds.
Generally speaking, it is very good to have a viewership rating of 0.3% during this time period. With the results of "Transformers", it can be ranked in the top three throughout the year, and the staff is naturally very happy.
But Raul frowned and was very dissatisfied with this result.
Because Xiao Yunhai set the average audience rating for "Transformers" at 5%, it is obviously still a long way from this goal.
Seeing Raul's heavy expression, the staff member quickly restrained the smile on his face and turned his head.
"Hey, Mr. Raul, there is very good news to inform you. The ratings curve of "Transformers" has been rising, and it has never declined from beginning to end." Another staff member suddenly said.
"What? There is such a thing." Raul hurriedly walked over and saw the ratings chart on the computer from 0.3% to more than 2%, and couldn't help but put on a smile on his face.
At this time, the door of the monitoring room was opened, and Thrall walked into the room and said, "The highest viewership rate of "Tom and Jerry" reached 4.7%, and the average viewership rate was 2.51%. How many are we?"
When he learned about the ratings and curve trend of "Transformers", Thrall's eyes flashed and he said with joy: "I thought we were going to lose, but I didn't expect it to be a winner. Mr. Raul, based on my many years of experience, In this battle, I think Transformers has a very good chance of winning."
Raul nodded and said, "I feel the same way. Although our results are a lot worse than "Tom and Jerry", in terms of trends, they are far behind us."
Sal said: "Then wait for the second episode and hope that the results will be as we expected."
In a luxury villa in New York, Kestel is eating dinner, thinking out of his mind.
A four-year-old child is sitting on the sofa, watching TV, laughing from time to time, and it is "Tom and Jerry" playing on the screen.
Hearing his son smiling so happily, Kestel felt a little relieved.
His wife is Nicole, a well-known model in the American fashion circle. She is only twenty-nine years old this year.
"Husband, what do you seem to have on your mind? Is it for "Transformers"?" Nicole asked.
Kestel forced a smile and said without concealment: "That's right. I'm a little worried about the ratings of Tom and Jerry."
Nicole couldn't help laughing: "Husband, it's just a cartoon, do you need to care so much?"
Kestel shook his head and said, "You don't understand. "Transformers" is not a simple cartoon, but a touchstone for the rise of Marvel. Once the ratings beat our "Tom and Jerry" , even if the Marvel brand is re-established. At that time, with their strength in animation and Xiao's huge financial resources, they will inevitably become Disney's most difficult opponent. I seem to have seen that day. "
Nicole said with a smile: "Don't worry, it definitely won't."
At this moment, Kestel's cell phone rang. When I opened it, it was Lai Luo, who had been sitting on nbc TV all the time.
"Boss, the ratings have been counted, we are a full percentage point higher than "Transformers"." Lai Luo said cautiously.
Kestel felt relieved for a moment, saying: "Very good. If the second episode can shake it off, I will give you a bonus."
"thank you boss."
Kestel did not hear the nervousness in Laidlaw's voice when he spoke, and hung up the phone happily and said, "The ratings are much better than I thought."
Nicole said with a smile: "I know you are the best."
Unfortunately, Kestel's good mood only lasted for half an hour, and it was gone forever.
"What? Tom and Jerry's average ratings aren't as good as Transformers. Didn't you say we were one percent better than them?"
"Boss, I don't know why, "Transformers" just aired in the second episode, and suddenly it was like eating aphrodisiac, and the highest ratings even exceeded 6.2%, while our "Tom and Jerry" received Its impact, however, has been in a straight downward trend. After falling together, the difference is getting bigger and bigger, and finally the second episode's average ratings were 2.5 percentage points lower than theirs."
Lai Luo was about to cry at this time, and being able to bite the bullet and make this call is already very remarkable.
He knew that what would greet him next would definitely be a violent storm.
Sure enough, for half an hour, Kestel scolded him on the phone.
Raul on the other side also called his boss, but the treatment was very different from Lai Luo.
"Boss, we won, Tom and Jerry lost to us by 2.5 percentage points in the second episode."
