Chapter 415: Summer vacation is coming
The first season of "American Idol" aired in 2002 has achieved extraordinary success. Not to mention the number of viewers as high as 22.77 million, the first season of "American Idol" not only launched a super singer like Kelly Claxon, but also raised the banner of a prosperous talent reality show in the United States. It can be said that it is a reality show of this type of American.
Seeing that "American Idol" by mm TV is so popular and other TV stations are not vegetarians, fox immediately introduced "Go Talent" from the UK and launched a "American Got Talent". There are also a series of variety show reality shows launched by other TV stations, such as "Dance Forward", "Dancing with the Stars", and "Don't Forget Lyrics", which are a milestone in American reality shows.
With such good benefits, mm TV naturally launched the second season with the victory.
First of all, there have been great adjustments in the broadcast time. From the first season of "American Idol" broadcast in 2002 as the autumn series, it has been adjusted to the winter time in 2003.
It can also be seen that the TV station has high hopes for "American Idol".
Compared with the first season, there are some increase and some decreases - the increase is the cost of the program and advertising costs, and the number of viewers: the second season of "American Idol" was aired on January 21, 2003, and the number of viewers in the first episode was as high as 26.5 million, far higher than the 9.9 million at the first season premiere.
The most classic battle is to compare the ratings of this year's Oscar.
That's right, this year's Oscars ranked second in Nelson's ratings, second only to "American Idol".
The show was extremely popular at the beginning. After the host introduced the show, the three judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abadu and Randy Jackson came out next to the presenter Ryan's introduction. The audience cheered and thundered. The American audience base was so good. Whether it was applause or booing, it was guaranteed that there was no cold show.
"Hey, Ryan, there are four chairs today. Did you find a chair for yourself?" As soon as she sat down, Simon used his eloquence and teased the host.
Ryan had long been used to them and said, "There is no place for me there. So today a special judge came."
Randy smiled and said, "Special judge, how special it is. Could it be that Michael is here, haha?"
"No, of course we can't invite Michael. The reason why it's special is that he said he would be an audience today, but after discussing it, we decided to put him on the stage, otherwise I was worried that my salary would not be paid." Several people looked at him strangely, "Okay, please invite Mr. Chen Tiandu."
As the music started, Chen Tian raised his hands to greet the audience and walked out. The three judges laughed and walked up to hug him and expressed their welcome. The cheering sounds of the audience suddenly increased. He was full of audiences and fans who raised their hands to shake hands with him.
Simon hugged him and said with a smile: "Chan. Do you know, you should have come last season. But you didn't show up until the finals."
Chen Tianshu shrugged: "Thank you, I've actually watched the show all the time. You are so awesome and singers are so awesome. I still think it's better to be an audience with peace of mind."
He hugged Randy and Paula again, and then said to the audience: "This is the scene of "American Idol", which is really wonderful. Excellent judges, excellent contestants, and enthusiastic audiences. I have to tell all the audience one thing that since the second season started, the ratings have been at the top of the Nelson rankings, and even the Oscars have not surpassed us. You are so awesome."
"Wow..." "Great!" "Fuck!"
When the audience heard this kind of show-off broadcast ratings, they even made a fuss.
Simon started talking and teased Chen Tiandu: "Chen, even though you went to the UK to find me and told me to bring this show to the United States. But I still have to remind you that this is a professional music stage. Can you handle it?"
Chen Tian spread his hands and said with confidence: "I said I came here as an audience member, who put my seat on the stage?" "Hahaha..." The audience burst into laughter.
Randy waved her hand straight, "This is not possible. If you are put in the audience and the contestants will watch the audience, then we will become a decoration on the stage."
Chen Tiandu made the move of supporting the table with his hands, and confessed with a deep pain: "Actually, I'm unemployed, come and have some appearance fees." Everyone laughed louder. The excitement lasted for a long time before everyone sat back on the chair.
Tonight's performance began, and wonderful songs were sung in different identities. The scene was very infected. On the stage of grassroots dreams coming true, everyone can substitute themselves, no wonder the ratings remain high after the broadcast.
Chen Tiandu was indeed as he said, being an audience. He was a conscientious audience. Several judges were venomous, professional, and provocative, but Chen Tian only said words of encouragement to make the contestants strong and confident. He was good at speaking, and occasionally a few jokes were thrown out of his mouth, which made the audience laugh.
Finally, he played the judge for the first episode and he got back on track again.
"Scene 97, Act 10, start now!"
This is a final scene, a big scene.
The real picture needs to be completed in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. But if you really go to the entrance of Notre Dame Cathedral to shoot, the funding will be too much. So here, it is only taken on an old market square in Prague, and later it will be transferred to Notre Dame Cathedral to go to Notre Dame Cathedral.
There will be a thrilling carriage chase.
Jackman ran wildly on two carriages. A total of 6 horses were driving a carriage, and he was strapping with various seat belts on his body. He rolled out of the air and jumped neatly in the workshop. In the thrilling scene, it was nothing more than landing between the two horses and mopping the floor with both feet at the highway.
"This is too dangerous, we should use a substitute." The insurance company's people tried their best to obstruct, thinking about the compensation if Hugh Jackman was injured, their boss would tear them off.
Chen Tian was so annoyed that he left it all to Cage for negotiation.
But he was also worried about an accident and asked the stunt team director Michael in front of Hugh Jackman and said, "Can you guarantee it?"
Michael grabbed his hair straight and said, "It is dangerous for an actor to approach an animal any time, because the actor is in an unknown situation, and the animal may be out of control. But we have done all possible precautions." He did not dare to make a guarantee and promise.
It's indeed quite thrilling, Hugh Jackman is not as good as Chen Long. Chen Tiandu also hesitated, "Xui, what about your opinion? If it doesn't work, just use a substitute."
Hugh Jackman took a deep breath, "I'll try it. The stunts are also actors, and I can do what they can. Besides, I've been training for several months."
After a "a", a long neighing horse was neighing, and Hugh Jackman set out, and all the reserve teams were nervously guarding their posts. This set of shots was taken from early morning to dark. Even lunch boxes were simply dealt with on the crew.
Chen Tian was so tired, but his heart was boiling. After confirming the last picture, he stood high on the carriage and shouted loudly: "It's finished! Cheer, guys!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The whole audience was in chaos, and Hugh Jackman almost cried. It was really tormenting that he threw his whip high.
More than a thousand people came and went, and when the filming was finally completed, more than 600 staff members were still busy on the scene. Everyone felt it was not easy, and for these three months, Chen Tian also hugged everyone, hugged Cage, hugged Hugh Jackman, hugged Johnny Depp, and kissed Kate...
I laughed happily for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, the crew finally calmed down and began to pack up photography equipment and other things, and officially announced the disbandment. Of course, there was a carnival party at night.
Although the filming was completed, for such a special effects blockbuster, the later stage has just begun.
In April, the crew returned to the United States, and the Matrix Special Effects Studio had already begun to divide the work of some special effects of the film. Some of the things they were not good at were outsourced to Industrial Light and Magic, such as the whole process of the transformation of werewolf, etc. But Chen Tian could finally wait for a while. Paramount was undoubtedly the most concerned about the completion of "Van Helsing". He discussed the schedule with Matrix and set it on Halloween next year without hesitation.
I don’t know how many people will be attracted by the announcement of the schedule.
Chen Tian didn't have time to pay attention to the rest, because the summer vacation was approaching, and he suddenly became busy again, and there were quite a few things waiting for him to do.
The biggest thing is naturally the promotion of "Fast 2". It took two years to go on. The sequel to the racing movie that was once known as the peak of action movies is finally about to appear on the big screen again, which also surprised fans of Speed.
The promotion of "Fast 2" has never stopped. It is known as the first shot of the Matrix Summer Three Cannons. Every action produced by the sequel to the 900 million box office movie will attract attention.
The preliminary publicity of "Speed 2" has long ended, and it has already passed the review of the pg13 rating. It has been prepared to be launched in 3,870 cinemas in North America on May 15.
"Buzz~!"
The trailer started with the crazy roar of car motors, as if it brought the audience to the global explosion racing car that caused a sensation in the world two years ago, and memories instantly flowed back.
As the trailer unfolds, familiar cast coefficients such as Vin Diesel, "The Rock" Johnson, etc. return. Cars and cars urge each other to each other like a knight fight, then release the accelerator, roar out, and "boom" collided together.
As the camera turned, with high-quality rock rap music, racing, bikini beauties, beer and other scenes began to appear in the picture. There were young people everywhere, racing cars, twisting their waists and hips...
Use such a straightforward picture to declare, "Summer is here."
The plot is no longer important. One big-name car that appears in the video is enough for those car fans to count for a while. The craziest thing is the stance of the five-meter-high truck running wildly on the road.
The music became more and more majestic, and the narrator said louder: "Director Justin Lin and producer Chen Tiandu on May 15, "Fast and Furious 2" debuted in a hot spot!" (To be continued...)
