Chapter 198. [American Idol explodes]

It is said that Fantasy Pictures has been very successful in entering the American television industry!

If the previous "Dance Floor" was just Fantasy Pictures' test of TV entertainment programs, then "American Idol" is the solid foundation for Fantasy Pictures and Fox TV to lay a solid foundation for American grassroots talent shows.

"American Idol" is a national entertainment TV talent show. The only restriction is that it requires American citizenship. In the original history, there was also an age limit, but Yi Feiyang intends to make this program a real realization of the American dream.

It's a place where age doesn't matter at all.

The competition begins with auditions in cities across the United States. Each year, auditions will be held in several representative cities across the United States. Contestants only need to impress three judges with their own songs and singing skills to qualify for the semi-finals in Hollywood. Originally, it was easy.

Feiyang was considering taking them to Broadway in New York for a rematch, but considering the cost and influence issues... so Feiyang chose Hollywood, and Fox TV also agreed.

At the Hollywood stop, there will be a second screening of 150 to 200 contestants from all audition cities. The 24 selected semi-final winners, including 12 male contestants and 12 female contestants, will begin to walk on the stage through the screen.

Competing on the same stage in front of a national audience.

On the national stage, Yi Feiyang will once again use his "secret weapon", which is to invite Michael Jackson to appear as a judge.

Yes, it is Michael Jackson who is filming with Yi Feiyang. In fact, since he agreed to take over the filming of Yi Feiyang's movie, Mike has planned to return to the world and create a new self. He will no longer be attached to the glory of the past and re-create his glory.

So when Yi Feiyang proposed that he be a judge on "American Idol", Mike thought about it for a while and agreed.

As Michael Jackson's manager, Mr. Peter also believes that this is a rare opportunity to show his face. Although Mike has participated in some large-scale variety shows before, they were all done before he became famous in order to increase his popularity and increase his exposure.

However, after Mike became a superstar, these show-off activities basically disappeared. Firstly, because Mike’s schedule was so full that he really couldn’t get away; secondly, attending such activities was required by Mike.

The remuneration was too high and daunting; thirdly, it was because Mike's status was no longer what it used to be, so it was better for him to be more reserved and not participate in such a not-so-high-end activity.

Because of this, Mike has not participated in any variety entertainment shows for several years. It is also difficult to see his face here. Many TV stations can't ask for it. It can be said that he is really too famous.

Mike's agreement made Fox TV, the partner of Dream Pictures, overjoyed. They couldn't help but look at a talented person like Yi Feiyang in a different light. After all, it is definitely not easy for someone who can convince King Mike over and over again.

Historically, "American Idol" used audience voting via mobile phone text messages and the Internet. However, considering the profits gained, Yi Feiyang created another voting method, which was to use telephone voting. The TV station adopted

The automatic response mechanism uses a Celeron supercomputer as the core of the system.

When the user calls, they will enter the intelligent system, and then they only need to follow the prompts to vote.

Even so, there are always a lot of enthusiastic viewers, so sometimes manual services are needed to provide supplements, and sometimes we encounter line busy problems, but there is nothing we can do about it.

When this form of telephone voting was first implemented, everyone was a little worried, but later they found that this form of voting was quite popular. After all, this was the first time that the votes of the audience were used to decide whether the contestants would stay or go.

It is not decided by the judges alone. This alone greatly increases the appeal to the audience.

And this approach also has another advantage - it also more objectively reflects the true reflection of the potential record market.

If someone wins the favor of the judges and eventually becomes the champion and signs a contract with Universal. But the audience does not like this person, then his future records will still not be popular. Such "pseudo-stars" will not be welcomed at all.

Useless.

But since it is the champion chosen by the audience, then this person must be attractive enough to the audience. Because of this, this person can become a real pop singer and star in the future.

In this way, the Internet, mobile phones, and landline phones are all integrated. According to Yi Feiyang's calculations, the profit from voting alone is an astronomical figure. Don't underestimate these voting arrangements. For example, for landline voting, every

A voting call is 8 cents, the phone company gets 4 cents, and the other 4 cents are divided equally between Fantasy and Fox. If 2 million people vote in Los Angeles, then Fantasy Pictures can get 40,000 US dollars!

Please remember, this is just one area of ​​Los Angeles. If thirteen states in the United States were to expand at the same time, North America, with a population of nearly 300 million, would definitely be able to gain profits of 400,000 or even millions of dollars!

The show starts in November, and then the real winner is selected before Christmas. In the early stage of the competition, it is broadcast during prime time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and when the finals are completed, it will be broadcast on the weekends.

In today's North American television industry, there are so many TV programs of all types, especially the most competitive variety entertainment shows, which are like a minefield. No matter who comes in easily, they will be shattered to pieces. However, "American Idol" broke this law. Yi Feiyang

This large-scale live-action grassroots talent show, created by one hand, directly targeted the romantic interests of the North American people. Once it was launched, it quickly occupied the bridgehead of television entertainment and became a banner.

For a TV show, copyright and advertising are the biggest "golden eggs." The copyright of "American Idol" alone can bring millions of dollars in profits to Fantasy Pictures and Fox every year. It has to be said that this

It's a good program.

Because it is the primary election, most people think that the program is not interesting. But according to Yi Feiyang, the primary election is actually the most exciting, because those American talents, ghosts and monsters, will all appear on the stage at the same time!

Facts have proved that what Yi Feiyang said is correct. The primaries for "American Idol" have just begun, and there are constant jokes and revelations.

First, a black chicken girl showed up and sang a high-pitched voice, saying that she would make Pavarotti mad to death; then a white guy came and sang a Martian song that no one could understand in his own "Mars language"; and then a suspicious-looking man appeared.

The mentally ill white aunt said she wanted to sing a dynamic American folk song...

Such a shocking contestant left all the audience dumbfounded and stunned. Even U.S. President Clinton couldn't help but turn on the TV to have fun in his spare time. Just like when the media interviewed Clinton recently, he said: "Oh

Man, please hurry up, I'm afraid I'll miss the start of "American Idol"! God, I like that 'Brother Martian' so much! I even learned a few words of Martian from him... Jiligulu, Guliwuhu...

…”

In addition to the President of the United States, major Hollywood stars are also very fond of this show. For example, superstar Tom Cruise is planning to invite the "Black Chicken Chop Girl" to make a cameo in his sequel to "Mission: Impossible"

A small role, because Tom likes her rare scream. There is also the big star Madonna. She admires the white aunt who sings with her belly. She believes that singing with her belly can protect her throat well, and she can use exercise to lose weight.

.

In short, "American Idol" became extremely popular as soon as it aired, with constant disputes, constant troubles, constant topics, and endless news and advertisements. It can be said that this program has directly wiped out n TV premiere ratings records and made countless opponents hungry

It hurts, my heart aches, and my whole body feels distressed... And Yi Feiyang, who concocted all this, is once again called the "Father of "American Idol" by some thoughtful people, but more American people like to call him "Da."

"Father of Man"!

Yes, it was him who created two talent shows in the history of the United States! It was also him who gave countless talents with unique skills but no place to use them a platform to display their talents! It was also he who used his intelligence and talents

A fun and entertaining feast has been prepared for people all over the United States!

It can be said that with the popularity of "American Idol", Yi Fei has gained both fame and fortune, and has become the most influential Chinese entertainer in North America!

In the words of world media tycoon Mercado, "I don't know if you have seen it, but I have seen it. A Chinese entertainment tycoon is slowly rising, from Hollywood to Los Angeles, and then from Los Angeles to North America... Maybe in the future he will

He might be at the pinnacle of entertainment, because he is younger than me!"

Murdoch does not easily evaluate or praise people. Although he did not name this young "Chinese tycoon" in this paragraph, anyone who pays a little attention to the situation will know it.

, except for Yi Feiyang, who is coquettish inside and outside, who is also filming and working on TV shows, there are no outsiders!



Yi Feiyang's fame has skyrocketed, and he has been especially evaluated as a new "entertainment tycoon" by Murdoch. This has made many real American "entertainment tycoons" sneer at him, including the boss of Disney, the president of Sony, as well as Universal and Warner.

The bosses of the two companies, in their view, Yi Feiyang is just a gangster who is just starting out in Hollywood. He has not finished his job at the dock and wants to start his own business...

Yes, Fantasy Pictures has developed fast enough this year, but its foundation is unstable and the company structure is not solid. Especially as an outsider, Yi Feiyang and his company are born with "kidney deficiency". They are strong enough, but not strong enough.

Quite, to put it bluntly, the foundation is still weak. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
