1 Tencent "off the chain" China netizen posted "live text"
The finale of HBO drama Game of Thrones was originally scheduled to go online at 9: 00 Beijing time on the 20th, but the eagerly awaited netizens received a notice from the mainland copyright owner Tencent Video, saying that the sixth episode of the eighth season could not go online as scheduled due to media transmission problems, and the broadcast time would be announced separately. In this regard, the fans expressed their dissatisfaction and laughed at the same time: "I am afraid that I will not broadcast it." "Is it a remake of the ending?"
And those netizens in China who are full of expectations for the finale have found a way to solve the mystery, which is to go to the Game of Thrones to find "foreign aid". The so-called foreign aid is actually China opera fans who live and work abroad. After watching the live broadcast of HBO, they usually post the video screenshots of Quan You on the Internet as soon as possible, and at the same time let the netizens who can’t see the drama enjoy themselves in the form of text spoilers.
Lost $3.3 billion, millions of American drama fans skipped work to watch the ending.
China netizens are so crazy about the finale, so what is the reaction of American netizens? They are even crazier — — Skip work and watch Right Tour at home! According to the latest poll conducted by Harris Poll, it is estimated that tens of millions of Americans will choose to take time off on the day of broadcast (19th) or the next day (20th) in order to watch the drama for the first time and sort out their emotions after watching it.
According to the poll data, the broadcast of the finale of Right Tour will affect the work of 27.2 million Americans. Of the 27.2 million people, about 5.8 million wanted to work on the night of the finale of the play, but they planned to take time off to enjoy the last episode. Another 10.7 million Americans are going to skip work directly the day after the finale, so as to sort out their emotions; Another 2.9 million Americans said they were ready to be late for work on Monday, and 3.4 million Americans said they planned to work remotely on the 20th.
According to the prediction of a management company quoted by Market Watch, a financial information network owned by Dow Jones Company, the above-mentioned "strike tide" will bring losses of $3.3 billion. However, some analysts believe that employees have established closer relationships with colleagues and bosses by watching dramas such as Right Tour.
3 dragon mother was killed and it was hard to accept the finale. The fans scored zero.
According to Market Watch, about 35.8 million employees have spent at least one hour a week talking about the show since its last season. The story of "Unfinished Tail" also caused strong dissatisfaction among drama fans. A week ago, some netizens initiated a petition to ask HBO to change the screenwriter and remake the eighth season of "Right Tour". By the 19th, the number of petitioners had exceeded 1.06 million, which was the first time in the history of American TV series. And the last episode of the play will not reverse the plot and make the previously sad fans happy? The answer is: NO!
Because, in this episode, one of the two most popular female characters in the play — — Long Ma was killed by the snow (another woman, Er Ya, is still alive). As we all know, from the first season, Long Ma has accumulated such things as Storm Born, Denise, Targaryen I, Unburned, Queen Mirin, Ruler and Guardian of the Seven Kingdoms, Queen of Andals and Ancients, Khaleesi on the Grass Sea, Chains Breaker, Khal Terminator, Dragon. In the finale, Jiong Xue went to Long Ma to explain why King’s Landing was a massacre. Long Ma expressed her willingness to conquer the world, build an ideal country and abolish slaves with Jiong Xue. As a result, after the two embraced, Jiong Xue killed Long Ma with a backhand knife.
"I give this finale 0 points!" A drama fan said bitterly after watching the sixth episode. In fact, from the third episode of the Battle of the Night King, the reputation of Quan You began to decline. At that time, the episode was criticized for being too dark and the night king died too fast; In the fourth episode, the dragon mother’s dragon was shot dead by Youlun, which made the dragon powder rebound collectively; In the fifth episode, the dragon mother burned the innocent people in the city, and the screenwriter laid too little groundwork before blackening the dragon mother, which made 100,000 foreign drama fans sign a protest; Until the last episode of Dragon Mother’s sudden death, almost everyone who chased the play said it was unacceptable.
4 The screenwriter and Martin’s "Digging a Pit" and "The Right Tour" did not end in the end.
However, no matter what the ending is, no one can deny that Game of Thrones, which has been with fans for eight years, is the most successful TV series in human history. In those days, two popular American dramas, Prison Break and Lost, also ended badly. However, not many people have made such crazy comments about their endings. Only the final chapter of Right Tour has aroused heated discussions and discussions among fans around the world, and even the last episode of The Big Bang Theory was broadcast two days ago. According to HBO, the average age of the audience of Game of Thrones is 41 years old.
"Quan You" has a grand finale, but the fans are still not satisfied. After all, there are still several protagonists in the play who are not dead, and Martin’s novel has not been finished. In recent years, revival dramas have become popular, and X Files, Heroes and 24 Hours have been revived by TV stations in various forms. Even the classic American crime drama Prison Break released a sequel eight years later, and some time ago, President FOX announced the renewal of the sixth season. This makes the fans of Game of Thrones restless, thinking that HBO is likely to resurrect Game of Thrones in some form in the future.
With such a big IP, it is obviously unrealistic for HBO to completely give up "Right Tour", and in fact it is. George martin, the author and screenwriter of Game of Thrones, said in an interview recently that he is building five derivative dramas after Game of Thrones. According to george martin, three of the five derivative dramas are already in preparation. It is also reported that one of the derivative dramas is more inclined to the prequel of Game of Thrones, because the time in the drama is set before the timeline of Right Tour, and it will tell the true origin of alien ghosts, the secrets of Westeros and the legend of the Stark family in the north.
