回复：〔独家专访〕Austin Basis Talks the First Season

But the CW for years now, and now under Mark has really pushed toward trying to grasp and understand the full impact of computer-watching or laptop-watching of TV. I think anytime you pay for something, it’s always counted. So if you’re paying for iTunes season pass for Beauty & the Beast or watching an episode, those numbers are definitely going to be known by The CW. Amazon, I think similarly. As long as it’s a legal source–even watching it on the CW website but I don’ tthink that’s available in other countries. As long as you keep to the legal pathways, it’s al lgoing to be counted, especially by The CW, because they know their audience is out there watching TV in a non-traditional way. I have confidence in that because of the response that we’ve gotten.

We won the People’s Choice Award, we win virtually every online poll. We have people out there who are on their computers and they’re always on top of it and they’re very passionate about the show and so if that’s a marker or an indication of the future, I feel good. It’s just–you’d feel better when you know, for sure, contractually, that you’re on for another season but I think that The CW is well aware of all that stuff. To a degree, they’re still young as a network and they have to because that’s where their fan base is.

最后两段比较简单了，大概看看就好了。主要是前面的科普比较深，还有为什么我们的收视这么低，为什么叙定会这么难，都是市场导向。广告商不足，那拍摄经费就吃紧，编剧写的东西也不一定能拍的出来。靠现有的资金拍出来观众又不买帐，更吸引不了广告商。尽管有铁杆粉丝奋力支持，但是有干嚎“我们最好”“我们最棒”，“我们有奖”，这个说服力还是很低的。人家要的是数字收视率。。
