Chapter 871 (1/2)

The audition stage of the first season of ”American Idol” has been completed on November 16, with a total of 16 issues, which is just half of the total drama of the first season plan. All 32 shortlisted players have been finalized and begin to enter the winter break period. The average audience of the 16 programs reached 31.7 million. The average audience rating of the core audience group aged 18 to 49 was 17.5%, all of which were far ahead of other TV programs in the same period.

According to the schedule, the second half of the first quarter will return on February 6 next year.

In order to ensure that the popularity of ”American Idol” will not dissipate during the more than two month winter break, Denise TV Department has made a very detailed marketing plan for the winter break.

In addition to ABC's official publicity, all the 32 finalists regularly interact with the audience on Facebook, instagram and other social platforms according to the requirements of the production team to share the behind the scenes news of receiving official singing training during the winter break.

Simon's theme song ”dream it possible” for the project is also a big part of the marketing plan of ”American Idol” during the winter break.

Most of the time, the ”proposition composition” often does not produce very good works.

So at the beginning, American Idol producer Shane Derek wanted Simon to create a theme song for the show, mainly to take advantage of his boss's reputation. When the production team received the score of Simon's song to New York, they were all prostrated.

A large part of the production team are from danielis records. They have been in this circle for a long time, so they can have a deeper understanding of the quality of a song than ordinary people. ”Dream it possible” not only fits the theme of ”American Idol” from the name to the lyrics, but also reaches the main level of the top pop singer record.

Amazing.

It's just amazing.

It's hard to feel like carrying a pearl. Bear with it for a while, and send the sample of the initial recorded single to Simon in San Francisco. Meanwhile, American Idol producer Shane Derek announced the news on his Facebook page at 8:00 p.m.

Simon westero's theme song for ”American Idol” will be released on January 5, 1996.

With Facebook officially pushing the news as a hot topic, less than an hour after the announcement of the news at 8 o'clock east coast time, Shane Derek's Facebook blog like number exceeded 2.1 million, and hundreds of thousands of users also forwarded the message.

Among the hundreds of thousands of comments, most people are looking forward to Simon westero's latest works, and a few people are very looking forward to the kind of curse.

It's not December yet.

The single will be released on January 5. Well, it belongs to the normal propaganda rhythm when it is put in other singers.

It's just that.

Can't it be released in advance?

Can't you?!

As a result, the sales of all Simon related singles on tincobail's broadcast website increased significantly in the next 24 hours.

Then, someone even set up a petition website to solicit netizens' support, and asked the ”American Idol” production team to release the single created by Simon westero in advance. As for whether it is to promote ”American Idol”, who cares, we just want to hear Simon's new song.

With the help of igritte, the petition website soon became popular news, and countless netizens rushed to vote.

In just three days, the number of supporters on the website has exceeded 5 million.

Even though most of them are following suit, the ”American Idol” production team has to pay attention to it. The manipulation and utilization of public opinion can often achieve unexpected results. At the same time, it is a force that absolutely needs attention.

After the emergency negotiation, the production team finally announced on November 30 that it would advance the release date of ”American Idol” theme song to December 15.

We can't compromise this time.

After all, the sample of the song has just been completed, and there is still a lot of work to do, such as making MV. It is impossible to launch a semi-finished song.

In addition, tincobail also announced that the theme song will be simultaneously registered on the broadcast platform, which once again promoted the sales of iPlayer players.

In the North American film market, the second week of Thanksgiving from November 24 to November 30 will also close soon.

The fourth 3D animated film ”beauty and the beast” produced by danielis won the first place in the box office of the week without any doubt. Because of the weak performance of the new film last week, the box office of the next week decreased by only 23%, and continued to earn $52.91 million. In two weeks, the cumulative box office easily exceeded $100 million, reaching $121.63 million.

Martin Scorsese's new film ”Las Vegas” won the second place on the list.

In the first seven days of the first week, Las Vegas earned $16.91 million at the box office, which was the best of last week's new films, but it was too far behind the number one beauty and the beast.The first week's revenue is $16.91 million. Combined with word-of-mouth and box office trends, the final domestic box office of the film is likely to be between $40 million and $50 million.

Warner Bros. provided $52 million for the production cost of the movie. At present, the domestic box office is equivalent to the production cost, even if the overseas performance will be better, it will be lucky to finally recover the cost at the box office. In general, even if there is no loss, considering the time cost, it is basically a busy schedule.

The third place is also the new film, starring Wesley Snapes, which started on November 24. The first week's box office revenue of this action film about a cash truck robbery was $13.18 million. The production cost of the film is only $30 million, and the harvest is not bad.

The fourth place is another movie, White House romance, which is produced by Sony Pictures, just like silver line. In the second week, the box office of the movie dropped only 21% and earned $10.66 million, which is in line with the box office trend generally predicted by the industry. In two weeks, the cumulative box office of the movie was $24.15 million.

However, considering the $62 million production cost of the White House, Sony is not happy with such a box office figure.

The fifth place is ”evocation 2”, a space project produced by danielis's new world films.

In the fifth week of its release, evocation 2 fell 25%, earned $7.79 million and grossed $112.91 million.

Even if it's not as good as beauty and the beast, evocation 2 is also the most enviable project for Hollywood studios during this period. With low and medium production cost of 25 million US dollars, steady market trend and box office of over 100 million both at home and abroad, it's the low input and high output movie that any film company dreams of.

In addition to the top five, it's worth mentioning that MGM's ”good things in pairs” has a box office of $7.43 million in its first week, ranking sixth in the list. The production cost of this Olsen twins family comedy is only $10 million. Therefore, the box office of $7.43 million in the first week has fully met the expectations of the producers.

”Cut throat island” by Paramount and karock, after being painted in a large scale the next week, the box office, which was not high, also plummeted 56% again, leaving only $2.17 million in the second week. In two weeks, the $100 million super blockbuster grossed $7.13 million. With the expiration of the two-week minimum screening contract, ”cut throat island” was basically finished on December 1, so the box office figure was frozen.

With the box office fiasco of the project, the saliva surrounding the film is flying all over the place these days.
