Hollywood Road

Subtitles flashed on the TV screen. Clattenburg took the remote control and turned off the TV, but the person sat here without moving. The first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" just watched, It kept flashing through his mind, it was as sweet and mellow as top red wine, it left people with endless aftertaste, and it would be unforgettable for a long time, he wished to drink it continuously, and after watching it, he would never wake up again.

It's a pity that this kind of sweet and mellow enjoyment can't be continued in a short time. The new episode I want to see will have to wait until next Friday night at the earliest.

Clattenburg couldn't help complaining, it's too long to wait!

"Damn the broadcasting method of the TV series!" He cursed in a low voice, "Which wicked person invented this weekly broadcasting method? He should be sent to hell!"

The only good thing is that at 11 o'clock tonight and tomorrow during the day, there will be a replay of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", and he can continue to watch it slowly, carefully, and in small bites Taste slowly.

When you have a dvd, you can buy it back and collect it.

"Hey Gail, Murphy did a great job!"

In the film club of UCLA, many people came to Gal Gadot and congratulated him, "I can't imagine that Murphy can make a TV series into an epic movie!"

"This episode alone can kill Oliver Stone's 'Alexander' and Ridley Scott's 'Kingdom of Heaven'!"

"Cruel, bloody, this is completely my style! Gail, help me say thank you to Murphy."

Facing these people, Gal Gadot responded with a smile and kept saying "thank you". Their praise of Murphy reached her ears, which was more moving than the most beautiful movement.

Even in her eyes, she really couldn't see what was so good about this drama.

After dealing with the classmates in the film club, Gal Gadot walked out of the small building and was about to go back to the dormitory area, but thinking of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" he had just watched, he took out his phone and gave it to Murphy first. After sending a text message and seeing Murphy's reply, he dialed his number.

"Hi, honey." She walked slowly along the path, "It's me, I just watched A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones."

"How do you feel?" Murphy asked over there.

"People around me think it's good." Gal Gadot said truthfully, "but I can't see what's good."

She then asked, "Has the ratings statistics been calculated?"

"It's not bad." The voice from the earpiece seemed very happy, "At the peak of the first episode, there were about 3.9 million viewers."

Probably because she knew that she was not clear, Murphy over there explained a few more words, "This is the best grade among the new dramas on cable TV."

"That's good." Gal Gadot faintly heard someone talking to Murphy over there, knowing that he still has work to do, so he said quickly, "Let's do this first, I'm going back to the dormitory, don't be too late, go back early Rest at home, don't worry me."

Gal Gadot hung up the phone after hearing a heavy reply from the other side.

From the reactions of people around her and the data Murphy said, she knew very well that the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" was very likely to be a big success.

Gal Gadot looked at the bright stars in the sky and muttered to himself, "The only thing that is still uncertain is word of mouth."

Before that, the spooky Margot Robbie introduced her to her. The high ratings of the first episode of the TV series show that the director and actors have a strong appeal, and the promotion and marketing work is good enough, but if the audience has a bad reputation , will soon be revealed.

The movies directed by Murphy are all synonymous with high reputation, and the TV series will not be an exception, right?

It was not only Gal Gadot who had such thoughts, but also most of the people in the discussion group chat group that Daisy saw after turning on the computer.

"Sure enough, it was produced by Murphy Stanton. It's very pornographic and violent. Beheaded twice.

There are three naked bodies. In the first episode, there are many characters, the amount of information is huge, and the brain is almost not enough. It is violent and explicit. It is a bullshit. "

Just entering the chat group on the social software, Daisy saw such a message.

"The dead deer represents the king, and the death of the female wolf left behind six cubs, which indicates that Ned was killed and left behind six children... Murphy's foreshadowing was well buried early, and winter is coming."

Probably after watching the TV series, more and more people in the discussion group returned to the chat group, expressing their opinions one after another.

"A shocking epic feeling, isn't it!"

"Exceeded expectations, such a simple four words are better than all compliments."

"The details are too delicate, too delicate to be real."

Someone also kindly reminded, "The screenwriting and details are unparalleled! But judging from the speed of the first episode, each episode has a lot of information. If you haven't read the book, you should be patient."

Of course, this is Murphy's fan support group, and all kinds of praise are sprinkled out like they don't want money.

"An epic first episode that satisfies all needs. If you want a beautiful woman, you have a naked Jessica Alba. If you want an uncle, you have Sean Bean, who has been suffering for thousands of years. If you want a gentleman, you want a gentleman. There are heavy flavors and heavy flavors, ghosts and ghosts, zombies and zombies, conspiracies and conspiracies... Murphy Stanton said, you can have everything you want."

"Not to mention the excellent production, perhaps the greatest significance of this episode is that Murphy has shown a way to survive for the family of magic-themed film and television dramas that has been declining day by day. The scenes of magic monsters are all floating clouds, a heart-pounding A story, a group of characters with distinct and full characters, and a hazy but complete worldview are the kingly ways.”

"After watching the first episode, it's very good. Although it doesn't feel like it's adapted from a fantasy novel, it looks like a European medieval knight work, but the first episode has already planted many fantasy seeds, and the next few episodes will take root and germinate. .”

After reading so much, Daisy nodded slightly, closed the chat group, opened the imdb webpage, found the entry of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", and clicked in.

Although the first episode has just finished playing, hundreds of people have already rated it here, and those who can score at this time are undoubtedly Murphy's staunch supporters, and they all gave super high scores without exception.

As Murphy Stanton's discussion group leader in the imdb forum, it is only natural that Daisy will leave her mark here.

Reflecting on the episode she just watched, she quickly leaves a review.

"When I first watched it, I really didn't expect the scale of the first episode to be so large. From the TV screen, I saw so many naked men and women, especially Jessica Alba, who is a ****, is more or less the same. A little uncomfortable."

"But after watching the first episode, this incompatibility completely disappeared, and on the contrary, there was a very amazing feeling. Although the multi-viewpoint linear time narrative was a bit confusing at first, as the plot deepened, you will find that the plot is meticulous and complex. Interlocking, yet thrilling, tense, and fantasy, the huge world view structure is quite charming, especially the first shot of the Great Wall in the North is shocking!"

"The wonderful thing about the first episode of the series is that Murphy showed the epic thickness and oil painting texture of the original work. This texture is different from the intensity and wantonness of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but gloomy and profound. , mysterious beyond words, deeply fascinated..."

As a fan of Murphy, Daisy gave the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" a perfect score of 10 without hesitation.

There are many others like her.

The most basic audience group of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", besides the readers of the original book, is the majority of Murphy's supporters. The number of these people is almost comparable to that of fans of the original book.

And unlike many fans of the original book who are reluctant to buy the services of Fox Cable TV and quietly wait for the release of the DVD, Murphy's supporters are more enthusiastic about joining the customer base of Fox Cable TV so that they can watch it as soon as possible. to the latest work of a favorite director.

Times have changed. With the development of the film industry, no one can underestimate and ignore the influence and appeal that a well-known director can lead.

Especially this director is not only young, but also has an extremely strong personal style.

The successful and effective publicity and marketing in the early stage, a certain number of readers of the original book, and the appeal of the director and actors all contributed to the good premiere of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" score.

At eleven o'clock that night, people like Daisy and Clattenburg did not fall asleep or go out, but continued to stay in front of the TV, waiting for the rerun of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones".

The replay statistics are also gratifying. In the data transmitted to Murphy's house in Santa Monica at midnight, the replay at 11 o'clock once again contributed nearly 1.9 million viewers to "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones".

This is a very remarkable proportion among the rebroadcasts of all TV dramas including public stations.

In the daytime of the next day, Fox TV carried out the second rebroadcast as usual. Because it was during the daytime, this rebroadcast was not as popular as the first time, but it also attracted more than 1.2 million people to watch.

So far, the total number of viewers of the first episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" has exceeded the 7 million mark.

Such a result has already surpassed the data of the same period when the first episode of hbo's classic series "Band of Brothers" was broadcast, which is definitely a super eye-catching existence.

However, the media did not immediately send praise songs, and most of the drama critics did not cite it. After all, this is the first episode of the series. It is too obviously affected by the original work, publicity and personal appeal. Says too much.

Although a good start often means half the battle, just like many Hollywood movies, after a good start, maybe there will be a shit-like plot development.

Everyone knows that if we really want to evaluate this series in a realistic way, we have to wait for more episodes to be released later.
