The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 52 Interception halfway
David Klein had an inspiration and a plan, but he did not rush it. He remained patient and step-by-step. He was waiting for a signal.

Give your ideas evidence-based signals.

Now, the numbers are out—

Twenty-four million.

The number of viewers has recovered in a small area, breaking a ceiling slightly, and it can be regarded as returning to the peak state of the sixth season, but the breakthrough is still not enough. In terms of pure numbers, this is the third highest ratings number in the sixth season, and it has not been able to detonate Ratings, and its reference role for NBC is also limited.

So, what about the “second highest” mentioned by the Los Angeles Times?

The answer, ratings.

12.34.

This is the highest ratings since the sixth season, second only to the first episode, and it is also the first time since the fourth episode of the sixth season that the ratings have returned to above 12.0.

Such a performance is enough to be called outstanding and can be compared to a shot in the arm.

The most important thing is that the increase in ratings is concentrated among the 18 to 49-year-old group, which proves Anson's appeal to young groups with practical actions.

This is the key.

Maybe, at this time, some people will say, not enough, not cool enough, not powerful enough, not outstanding enough, not strong enough, just this little breakthrough?

David Klein would say that this little breakthrough is already incredible. After all, they have no special promotion and Anson is a complete newcomer. It would be crazy to expect big ratings hits. They need to take their time. , one step at a time, this is the first step.

Next, there is a second step——

They filmed "Paul 2.0" again this Monday, and the promotion for this time should be slowly rolled out. There are still six days until the broadcast next Thursday.

And, that's still not all.

knock knock.

There was a symbolic knock on the door, and without waiting for David Klein to respond, Marta pushed the door open and came in.

"David, I have an idea. What do you think, let's just write a trilogy?"

David Klein raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he smiled, "I thought you didn't like Anson, he is just a vase."

Marta rolled her eyes and said without restraint, "When did this news happen? Please update, Anson is now my new favorite."

David Klein laughed happily.

Marta sat down comfortably, "I think we are short of twenty-three episodes now, so why not just let Anson connect the stories from twenty-one to twenty-three, and then the finale will be broadcast in two consecutive episodes."

"Look."

"In this way, we can give the character of Paul a beginning and an end; at the same time, we can fully tap into the charm of this character to ensure the stickiness between the character and the audience."

"Believe me, people like Paul."

"I've had a series of phone calls last night and into this morning asking where this actor came from, which is unusual."

"You should know that my friends have no interest in my works. If even they notice Anson, it means that the discussion last night has spread among the crowd."

There was a crackling sound and a gust of wind and rain.

Marta is still the same Marta.

She didn't give David Klein a chance to speak at all, and the thoughts in her mind poured out one after another. This was probably the case with the flood.

It wasn't until now that Marta realized what she was doing and looked up at her partner, "What do you think?"

but.

David Klein had just opened his mouth, and Marta was already asking questions.

"I know, I know, it's outrageous."

"It went from being a guest guest in one episode to two episodes in series, and now it has actually been upgraded to three episodes in series. Obviously, this kind of treatment is not common in 'Friends'."

"Wait, has this ever happened before?"

"It doesn't seem like it, after all, Janice doesn't count..." "Anyway, it's really unusual, but personally, I think it's a good thing because we gave a character a complete arc in three episodes, and I even thought Well, how did you write episode 23? Haha, let me tell you, I have a hunch that this episode will be great."

"Anson's contrasting charm will definitely attract countless laughter and screams."

"and."

"This is perfect. We can seamlessly move into the finale, which not only solves all the worries, but also brings a special character. I think Paul Stevens can become a character worth remembering in 'Friends'. Maybe Audiences will also be asking for him to come back."

"David, what do you think?"

Chattering and beaming.

David Crane is familiar with Marta like this, and it always does when inspiration strikes. Marta like this is good news for the series.

David Klein just said, "Marta..."

Marta, "I just heard that the ratings were pretty good..."

David Klein, "Marta!"

Marta finally shut up.

David Klein first concluded, “Our thoughts are on the same frequency.”

Marta was startled and covered her mouth, "Ah, David!"

The expression on his face full of emotion and surprise made David Klein dumbfounded, "You forgot, Anson was the parachute I brought in for the audition."

Marta rolled her eyes, "Okay, okay, anyway, you always have a way to turn all this into your own credit. I don't care, I have already started writing the script for the third episode, and it is almost finished."

A smile appeared in David Klein's eyes, "Don't worry, I'm serious. I think Anson may become a secret weapon for us."

Marta's eyes widened, "The ratings have gone up?"

David Klein nodded and was about to answer, but the phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was the internal line, so he handed Marta the "Los Angeles Times" and asked her to read it by herself, while answering the phone, and then Frank's voice came from the receiver.

"Sorry to interrupt your meeting with Marta, but Brad Pitt called and said he needed to talk to you."

"Who?"

"Brad Pitt, Jennifer's Brad Pitt."

David Klein was slightly startled. Although he didn't know why, he nodded slightly and said, "Put the phone in."

Marta read the news carefully, and her mood couldn't help but rise.

Although Marta didn't know or was good at those calculations and games, she could guess that David Klein should be preparing to use Anson to build momentum.

This is a good thing.

This Monday, for the filming of episode 22, Marta went to the studio again.

This time, it was not worry, but curiosity, curious about how Anson would interpret Paul's "fragility and contrast" and the "embarrassment" after being discovered by Ross.

Facts have proved that Anson's performance is still outstanding. The back-and-forth performance between him and David Schwimmer is very effective. It not only makes people laugh, but also makes people like the role of Paul more and more. There is a natural affinity with Anson. , it is easy to make the audience like——

This is a temperament.

Some actors are not good-looking and handsome. In fact, they are absolutely top-notch in appearance, but they just have no popularity with the audience, which makes them helpless. And some actors are average in appearance and may even have some "characteristics", but the audience just likes them. It is also an innate talent.

Anson has such charm.

At least, that's what Marta thought.

Snapped.

David Klein hung up the phone, Marta raised her head, and then she saw a little depth on the horse's face, and even the freckles became gloomy.

"David?" Marta called.

David Crane looked up and said, "Brad Pitt asked us to end Anson's scene."
