As the temperature rises, the popularity of American Idol, after more than a month of gestation and accumulation of five audition sites, finally reached the sixth and last Los Angeles audition site, and this last chance, and a The publicity and hype over the past few months has completely ignited the enthusiasm of the contestants, causing the number of participants in the final audition to exceed [-], which is even more than the number of participants in the previous two auditions.

In the end, due to the large number of people, in order not to let some contestants run for nothing, they had to temporarily extend the audition time from the original three days to five days, and in a hurry, the number of small black houses was also added to eight. All auditions were completed within a week.

And a large number of contestants naturally represent a large number of talents, as well as countless wonderful performances and complicated off-site jokes. In order not to miss a detail (mainly for making more money), PD TV will hold the For a whole week, all the programs about the Los Angeles audition will be played in prime time every night, and all the originally scheduled spin-off programs will be postponed.But even with such frequent broadcasts, the ratings of "American Idol" have not been affected in the slightest, and even the average ratings for a week have reached an astonishing 5 points, and the highest reached [-] points, which is comparable to the ratings of a popular football game. It's hot.

The highest number of viewers reached 500 million, and the average number of viewers reached more than 100 million, directly monopolizing the prime time of a single week (mainly because there were no football games, basketball games, etc. Sports games and super hit TV series to compete for ratings championships) except for all ratings champions.

Coupled with the multiple derivative programs developed by PD TV, during this period of time, PD TV was so hot that it was unbelievable. At the same time, it was also hot after the addition of "American Idol", and it was also heated by multiple programs of PD TV. After that, he was even more popular and the most popular player.

Since Los Angeles is the last constituency, it is also the hottest constituency, so the natural popularity selected from this district is undoubtedly superior to the six constituencies. At the end of June, five consecutive songs entered the B list, and one of them entered the top fifty. It proves it.

One of the best is a boy named Eddie Hall. With his unique voice, he played and sang the song "Going Home" on the guitar borrowed from other contestants at the audition site and moved the four mentors.

Although his behavior is a bit shy and reluctant to let go, and his guitar playing is not so proficient, his clear and clean voice and 100% devoted emotion bring everyone into his songs. The inherently handsome face and slender figure instantly captured a large number of audiences.

If you want to find her weaknesses or deficiencies, you can list one, two, three, four, five, for example, she has not received professional training, for example, he actually played a few wrong notes in that not-so-complicated country song, for example, he took his hometown His accent is slightly rural, such as his old clothes, messy hairstyle, etc., but none of these can stop this lucky guy from being hotly sought after by mentors and audiences, and even became a phenomenon in a short period of time.

He participated in the ten-point talk show "Hello, American Idol!" "The popularity is simply over the top. This usually only gets a rating of about 0.5 points (in terms of PD TV station and this program, it is already very high), but when this episode of Eddie Hall was broadcast, the ratings soared to 1. The number of viewers is nearly 300 million. This popularity is unimaginable. Although there is an audition season bonus, but during this time period, millions of people have switched to a new and unfamiliar PD TV station just for this boy. The talk show hosted by the third- and fourth-rate hosts really has no other explanation than to explain Eddie's unfathomable popularity.

And this fiery popularity has naturally attracted the attention of major entertainment newspapers. While he continued to accumulate popularity by participating in various derivative programs of PD TV Station, his past experience was also excavated by the American media. Repeatedly appeared in news papers, such as his parents and his life experience, such as his school experience and even the restaurant where he worked, and even talked about a short relationship with him, and there was nothing left (thanks to , has gradually become the unicorn BBS known to everyone on the Internet, and a lot of information is disclosed on it), but Eddie Hall surprisingly did not take advantage of this heat to hype and sell his miserable life After gaining sympathy and attention, even when the media sought to verify the rumors that his uncle domestically abused him, he also expressed silence.

In fact, even if Eddie Hall uses this to gain sympathy and attention from the media, it's nothing. After all, a person like him who suddenly became popular may be forgotten after a while. A deep impression might not be a good idea.

It’s just that Eddie Hall, firstly, didn’t want to expose his weakness to the public too much, and secondly, although he hated Uncle Mike before leaving home, and even thought that it would be good if he died, but after all, he still misses him Adopted him when he was young, so that he would not be reduced to an orphanage.

But that's all, anyway, he's already grown up, and it's okay for the two of them to walk their own paths without interacting with each other.

……

Adam obtained a huge amount of income through "American Idol", but the envious saliva of all the TV stations is about to come down. After all, judging from the current situation, "American Idol" can at least bring more than one billion US dollars in advertising revenue to the TV station. Excluding the fees given to partners, or program producers, it would definitely make a lot of money.

However, even if the PD TV station is currently standing high, because it is the summer season, there are no TV programs and no heavyweight competitions. In the autumn, when the TV programs of major TV stations start to broadcast, viewers will naturally return to the TV stations they are familiar with. At that time, PD TV, the castle built on the sand dunes, may usher in an instant collapse.

Therefore, we must pay more attention to the TV series planned by Adam, and there must be no sloppy, so in the middle of filming, Adam met the person who was found by his friend Xie Yi, the general manager of Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company. Zou Wenhuai.

As the largest film company in Hong Kong, after establishing a foothold in the Hong Kong and even Asian markets, Zou Wenhuai was not satisfied with his peers, but turned his attention to the world's largest market-the North American film market.

This is also the reason why Adam asked Shay for help. Shay relied on Golden Harvest's ambitious masterpiece "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the 90s to achieve great success, thus accumulating the circle of film production, and finally cooperated with Adam to shoot science fiction movies. The masterpiece "Jurassic World" officially established itself in Hollywood.

Although the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had a bad reputation after the filming of the trilogy, Jiahe's ambition did not end there. The big sales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles allowed him to see a bigger world. It was also the door of kung fu opened by Bruce Lee who went out of Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest decided to take another kung fu superstar who has proven his ability in Asia——Jackie Chan, to break into the big pit of Hollywood.

According to the development of history, Golden Harvest will release Jackie Chan's masterpiece "Red Fan District" at the beginning of next year. This movie is currently being filmed in Canada and Hong Kong, so this is why Golden Harvest did not have the slightest idea after hearing the requirements of the agreement. Hesitantly, he flew directly from Hong Kong to the United States and met Adam in person.

Because, as a film company based in Hong Kong, although it is considered a giant in Asia with several films sweeping across Asia every year, it has no foothold in the West, especially North America, where film commercialization is the most developed. The release of "Red Fan District" next year will definitely still need the help of his old partner, now based in Hollywood, Shea.

As for Adam, a writer in the civilized world, due to the popularity of the sci-fi movie "Jurassic Park", several of his novels have also been translated and become known all over the world. As one of the best-selling authors.

Although, knowing this, when Adam faced the senior in the film industry, he didn't show any contempt. Instead, he stood up and greeted him the first time Shay brought people in, smiling. He said: "Welcome, Mr. Zou is welcome to come from afar."

I have to say that Adam's proficiency in Mandarin immediately calmed down Zou Wenhuai, who was originally nervous. In fact, Zou Wenhuai, who is now in his sixties, has no need to travel around like this, but considering that he will need to rely on the other party when he enters Hollywood in the future , This is how I came all the way.

Thinking that what he was about to meet was a famous writer who was only in his early 20s, Zou Wenhuai felt rather uneasy. After all, he would be more proud and clean when he achieved such great achievements at this age. At this time, China has not yet risen, and Westerners generally look down on people from East Asia, so even though Xie told him that Adam had a good personality and told him not to worry, he was still vigilant and made various preparations. set up.

But no matter how many assumptions he made, he never thought that the handsome young man in front of him could speak even more standard Mandarin than himself, which was unbelievable to him, so he ignored it. He didn't recognize Adam's outstretched hand, but froze on the spot, until Xie beside him reminded him, which made him react, and then hurriedly held Adam's hand.
