The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 68 Take the initiative
Number of viewers, 30 million.

Ratings, 16.1.

Numbers are always the most objective and calm evidence, cold but direct, like a coordinate, clearly marking the location of this achievement.

This achievement is far more than what it seems on the surface.

This not only means that episode 23 has officially become the highest-rated episode of the sixth season.

It also means that the twenty-third episode is the first episode since the first episode of the fifth season that the number of viewers has exceeded 16.0 million and the ratings have exceeded for the first time. It has reached such a high level again after nearly two years. .

and!

This is not the premiere of a new season or the last episode of a season. It is just an ordinary episode of season six. This is the first time this has happened since the twelfth episode of season three became the highest-rated episode of the entire season.

of course.

To put it bluntly, this ratings performance can rank among the top ten in the six-season history of "Friends" so far, ranking eighth for the time being.

This is the most powerful proof.

Who said that "Friends" is in decline, who said that "Friends" lacks innovative energy, and who said that "Friends" can never replicate the glory of the first three seasons?
Who said "Friends" is becoming a nursing home, who said "Friends" is becoming a shackles for the six actors, who said "Friends" can no longer show explosive power?

All doubts, all controversies, all complaints, now all shut up obediently, David Klein teamed up with Marta to give the most powerful counterattack.

An all-around success.

It's just a set of numbers, cold numbers, but in the right hands and in the right way, they can become a powerful weapon.

Anson became "Friends", and "Friends" also became Anson, going both ways.

Even David Klein, who was suddenly inspired to implement the plan on a whim, did not expect that things would go so smoothly and develop to this point. This was a surprise, a complete surprise.

Now, everything is sprinting towards the established goal at full speed, and he has absolute confidence——

They will definitely win the salary negotiations this summer.

Whether it's David Klein or Marta, they have never lacked confidence and believe they can convince NBC to break the salary ceiling. But they can get to where they are now. The situation is great, but they are still a little excited. All of this , how did it happen?
Thinking about it carefully and looking back at the context of the whole thing, David Klein had a bold idea:

Perhaps the real turning point of everything was not his smooth flow nor Anson's excellent performance, but the confrontation between Anson and the reporter in the parking lot of Studio 24.

The unexpected collision, the display of character and charm, completely triggered the reaction of the media, and then triggered a comprehensive discussion frenzy, showing a new image. The fourth wall from the screen to real life was broken. The images of Anson and Paul overlapped and Discovered a whole new side.

Then came the craze.

Even David Klein was greatly surprised by Anson's performance, let alone others?

This idea is not only bold, it can also be said to be crazy.

However, that no longer matters, they now need to focus on the results rather than the causes.

The crew of "Friends" is full of joy and has collectively devoted itself to filming the two consecutive episodes of the finale. A whole year of hard work is about to pay off.

So, what about Anson?

After leaving Studio 24, daily life seems to have finally returned to normal. In less than a month since the time travel, things have happened one after another, and climaxes have followed one another, with no time to breathe and no Adjust the space and the roller coaster experience is finally over.

He could use a good rest.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn’t stop——

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang and echoed in the hall on the first floor, but no one responded. The whole space seemed quiet and profound, and I listened quietly to Xia Tian's footsteps approaching slowly.

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang a second time.

James Franco, who was lying on the sofa, rolled and fell to the ground. Gravity pulled his body and fell heavily to the ground. The reaction force that hit him made him groan, but his dazed brain finally regained consciousness. , half asleep and groping forward, towards the door.

Eee. James opened the door, leaned on the door panel like a sloth, and opened his eyes with difficulty, "Who is there?"

"Hey James, is Anson home?"

There was a voice in his ear, which was very strange and slightly familiar; and the other person could accurately name the two residents. James was finally willing to fully open his eyes, focused his sight, and carefully looked at the face in front of him.

strangeness.

Still unfamiliar.

But why does it feel vaguely familiar?

James' brain didn't move at all, but an image blurted out, "Ah, it's you, agent. William Morris."

Edgar Cook showed a smile, "Yes, Edgar, you still remember me."

James' head was full of questions, "Yes, why do I remember you?"

Involuntarily, James glanced at Edgar again——

An ordinary face with no special features. If you glance over it in a hurry, you won't notice it at all. But if you stay patient and take a second look, you can catch the gentle and jade-like temperament between the eyebrows, which is elegant, calm and light. The slightly raised corners of the mouth change the attitude of the conversation at any time.

Unknowingly, the impression remains in my mind, vivid and vivid.

James had a splitting headache, "God, why did you come to my door? Wait, you are not unemployed, and now you are selling goods door to door, right?"

"I'm not interested in any catalog."

As he spoke, he prepared to close the door.

Edgar had to stop him, "James, I'm here for Anson."

James paused before closing the door, "Anson has no shortage of agents."

Edgar was not surprised by this answer and showed a friendly smile, "I guessed it, but I think it's not a bad thing to have one more choice."

This time, James did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked Edgar up and down and said, "You are already the seventh agent to come to recommend yourself this week."

"Let me tell you, I know your type. Like fleas, you may look inconspicuous, but a little carelessness can make you take root."

"But, can you help?"

"No. You can only suck blood. You can't help with anything except sucking blood. Then, if we have no use value or find a better host, you will immediately move your position and leave a mess."

"If you want to deceive Anson, I won't let you succeed."

"I'm going to watch you, okay? I'm going to watch you."

After finishing a long sentence, James pointed to his eyes with two fingers, and then pointed to Edgar to show his seriousness.

Edgar didn't mind, spread his hands, continued to smile, and showed his two hands, "I came without weapons and with good intentions."

James glanced and curled his lips, but did not say anything more. He still stared at Edgar and shouted loudly at the same time.

"Anson."

"Anson!"

"There is another admirer of yours at the door."

However, there was no response.

James shouted again dutifully.

This time I finally heard the voice, "James, I'll be down right away. Please let the guests sit in the living room first."

James opened the door and moved out of the way, making an invitation gesture, but his eyes were still staring at Edgar like laser eyes, and he made another movement with his fingers to warn:
I'm watching you.
