The starz TV station fell into a black screen for a short time, only the station logo in the corner indicated that the signal was still being transmitted.
It's like the scene before the movie is released.
Then, a few gray-haired old people appeared, sitting in front of the camera, recalling old events. Through the content, you can know that they are World War II veterans, and they are also the airborne elites of Megatron Europe.
"I was sitting in the store and someone came in and told us to go to the military. I asked what are you talking about? He said Pearl Harbor was attacked and the United States was in the war. We didn't believe that our country was going to be attacked."
"Our country was attacked, which is different from the Korean War and Vietnam War, we were attacked! You know, this feeling... Maybe we were honest people in the countryside, but it is true that at that time, we all volunteered to join the army, Serve the country."
"'Who wants to be in the tank army?' 'Who wants to be in the air force?' 'Who wants to be in the navy?' They asked, 'Who wants to be in the airborne division?' God, what is airborne? We've never heard of it."
"I'm from a small town with three people who committed suicide because they failed medical exams, just because they couldn't join the army. It was a different time."
"We don't do these things for medals or honors. We do these things because that's our mission..."
The simple, straightforward, and continuous 5 paragraphs of dialogue immediately described the tense, bloody, and defending the country in the past, making the atmosphere of the whole room serious.
Dunn also pulled his hand back from the bottom of Milla Jovovich's skirt, and was already infected by this short 90 seconds.
Perhaps this is the charm of lens language, real and efficient.
But little Taylor is obviously not old enough to appreciate history, so he murmured, "A group of big idiots, they didn't even know they were attacked by the Japanese/Japanese army!"
Tang En said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It was originally, I have watched "Pearl Harbor", we were beaten badly by the Japanese/Japanese army!" Little Taylor snorted.
Tang En frowned, then sighed and put his arms around her shoulders, "You'll understand when you're still young. The standard of a hero is not success or failure, but the courage to pay for the best in the world."
Little Tyler rested his head on Dunn's shoulder and let out a weak "Oh", as if he didn't understand.
At this time, the words "starz" appeared on the TV screen, and the next scene showed the subtitles jointly produced by Dunn Pictures, DreamWorks, and Preton Pictures.
The melodious and soothing background sound is presented with a desolate musicality.
This is the opening song of "Band of Brothers" - "Warrior's Requiem".
In the picture full of gunpowder smoke, the opening song is slightly vicissitudes of life, without the sonorous and powerful electronic music, nor the shocking thunder of the drum, but with the shots of fighter planes, artillery, and the army, it shows the sense of the times and the tragic feelings of war more abundantly. .
Especially when the soldiers descend in the sky, a shot of opening the parachute in the blue sky, the distance is scattered, the height is consistent, and a strong visual contrast effect is formed in an instant.
Milla Jovovich has already said out loud: "What's the difference between such a scene and a movie?"
Tang En shook his head, "Don't watch "Band of Brothers" with the concept of past TV series."
In his previous life, of course he had watched "Band of Brothers", but he just thought it was very intense.
However, in this life, in such a country, such an environment, and such an atmosphere, he was able to fully feel the charm of the details of this mini-series.
The opening song in 2.5 minutes deeply caught the attention of every girl in the living room.
Except for Little Taylor, leaning against Dunn's arms, his long eyelashes trembled quickly, obviously he was sleepy and couldn't open his eyes.
At this time, Dunn's cell phone rang again.
Maybe it was because he was worried about disturbing Dunn to watch the TV series. It was in the form of text messages, and the content was very simple: "The viewership family has exceeded 12.5 million!"
The text message did not specify how many of the 12.5 million viewers were paid members and how many had used the one-month free trial right.
However, the total number of households subscribed to the sta TV network is only more than 10 million. This data has shown that "Band of Brothers" has attracted more family attention.
Dunn didn't care too much and looked up to watch the play.
In order to show the heaviness of history and the desolation of war, the saturation of the picture has been lowered.
However, this is "Band of Brothers", and the story officially begins...
First, through a set of short shots, the situation in the European battlefield barracks was shown.
Then, the camera turned to Georgia in the rear of the United States.
A group of young people from all over the world voluntarily trained to become the newest branch of the U.S. military, the Airborne Corps.
Under the stern leadership of Captain Sauber, they have transformed from inexperienced civilians to the most elite special forces E company in the US military.
This is 1942.
On September 6, 1943, Company E sailed from Brooklyn Naval Port to Aldeburn, England for training, and began to approach the atmosphere of war in order to provide support to the front line at any time.
During training, the soldiers were distrusted by Captain Sauber's low command ability. A tense antagonism forms between Lieutenant Winters, a young officer loved by the soldiers, and Captain Sauber, whom everyone hates.
After the non-commissioned officers of Company E mutinied to protest against Sauber's exclusion of Winters, Sauber was transferred from Company E to a training base in the rear as an instructor. The soldiers of Company E got rid of Sauber and welcomed A new company commander...
If you only look at the pictures, you can't tell the difference between this miniseries and the movie at all, but the content of the plot shows the difference.
In the end, it is a TV series. Compared with the movie, the plot unfolds slightly slower. The first episode has been played, and it has not even entered the battlefield. This obviously does not conform to the rhythm of the movie.
Back then, in Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", in order to grab the audience's attention, the first act of the opening was the brutal Normandy landing, which directly set the atmosphere of war on fire.
However, "Band of Brothers" shows the daily training of grass-roots officers and soldiers through the perspective of the bottom-level soldiers, which is also a shooting angle that has never been seen before.
The first episode is just an introduction, introducing the topic, under the leadership of the Master Chief, the recruits of the e company gradually mature. In addition to resolute execution, the chief officer of a company should also have high military capabilities. Captain Sauber fell behind in practice and left company E.
And the trailer for the next second episode is too much to look forward to - the Normandy landing!
After the broadcast of "Band of Brothers", the living room was quiet. Dunn looked down and found that little Taylor had fallen asleep on his lap.
Dunn wanted to take her back to the room. At this time, Chris Albrecht called again accurately and reported the good news, "Boss, the data results have come out! The first episode premiered, and the average viewership exceeded more than 12.8 million, and at its peak, more than 14 million home users watched at the same time!”
For free public television networks, it is very common for a TV drama to have ratings before 10 million to 20 million. The hit TV series usually has more than 20 million home users online. Like "Friends", it even created a myth that 30 million people watched at the same time!
However, sta is a professional cable TV network with only over 10 million users!
And public television networks such as nbc, cbs, abc, and fox are free to watch and have 110 million household users across the United States.
Even the legendary "Friends" has less than 30% ratings, while "Band of Brothers"... as high as 128%! At the peak, it exceeded 140%!
There is absolutely no comparison!
Tang En is very satisfied with the result. At its peak, there were 14 million viewers. Although it was not more than the 15 million of hbo in the previous life, it was almost the same. The explosive power of "Band of Brothers" was vividly displayed.
"Today's broadcast is very good, Chris, you worked hard!"
Tang En encouraged a few words, hung up the phone, and found that little Taylor had woken up in a daze, hugged Tang En's neck reluctantly, and pouted: "Tang En, I want to talk to you tonight. You sleep together."
Tang En panicked, "Don't be ridiculous, you're a big girl, how can you sleep with me?"
"No, I'm going to sleep with you!" Little Taylor rubbed his eyes and puffed out his cheeks very aggressive.
"no!"
Dunn categorically refused.
It's hard to get so many beautiful girls together today, how can a little girl's film be delayed?
Little Taylor said angrily, "then who are you going to sleep with?"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden silence.
The other girls in the room all looked different, looking at Tang En with strange eyes.
Penelope Cruz walked over with a smile and persuaded little Taylor gently: "Baby, why don't I sleep with you, okay?"
"Not good, not good!" Little Taylor's head shook into a rattle, her jewel-like eyes stared at Dunn closely, "I'm going to sleep with you, if you don't agree, I'll give Nata Li called and asked her to come back with me!"
The women looked at each other in dismay, almost not laughing.
How does this bear child know so much?
Let Natalie come back, see this situation, still can't make trouble?
Tang En had a headache for a while, and said helplessly: "Okay, you stinky girl!"
Little Taylor grinned, shaking his head with a smug look on his face.
Tang En snorted softly in his heart: "Little girl, I still can't cure you? When I put you to sleep, won't you enjoy this wonderful long night with me?"
That night, Dunn shuttled back and forth in several bedrooms.
Not so lively!
"what!"
Angela Lindwell was euphemistically rejoicing under Dunn, but Karolina Kirkova, who was kneeling and serving carefully, screamed.
"What's wrong?"
Tang En was startled, followed her gaze towards the door, and immediately hit a few quirks in a row.
Taylor Swift stood upright at the door, pinching her waist with her hands, her face tense, and she looked like she was gnashing her teeth...
