Chapter 1031: Three Title Songs!
Entering November, with the start of the top 16 and top 8 competitions one after another, the ratings of "American Idol" are like taking a plane, soaring all the way.
Originally, the number of viewers of the fourth phase at the end of October was 52 million, which was already jaw-dropping, but since November, the number of viewers has been rising, and it is an unstoppable momentum, reaching the figure of 61 million in one breath, which is really unbelievable.
In the past 20 years, there has never been a variety show that has been as popular and topical as "American Idol".
It's not just famous on TV, in real life, both men and women, young and old, are talking about "American Idol" with great interest and talking about their favorite players.
Many family members, couples, and friends have quarrels and turned against each other because they support different players, which is simply everywhere.
With such a high degree of social buzz and a large number of viewers, the advertising fee of "American Idol" is also very profitable.
According to the current momentum, by the end of next month, "American Idol" will at least bring more than $300 million in advertising revenue to Disney!!
This is still in the case of the first season, and all kinds of publicity campaigns have not been done the best.
If the second season is launched, at least this advertising revenue can be doubled to $600 million!!
Even now, the production budget of "American Idol" is only about 60 million US dollars, and after all the costs, a program can earn 240 million US dollars in pre-tax income, such a good thing that the United States has not encountered for decades!
No!
It should be said that with the continuous decline in the purchasing power of money, there has never been a variety show in history that has reached such an exaggerated level!
But if you think about it carefully, the talent show with 61 million viewers has been as high as 61 million, and it is likely to break through the unprecedented 70 million viewers in the future, it can't take 300 million dollars in advertising revenue, which other program dares to take it?
In the next year, before the second season starts, various tours, records, single releases, etc., as well as the sale of selected video tapes of the show, etc., can also bring a lot of income to Disney.
It is conservatively estimated that Disney's revenue in this area will not be lower than advertising revenue, and it will also reach the level of 300 million US dollars. - It's only been a year!
Considering that according to the current momentum, it can at least have ten seasons of vitality, so the brand of the entire "American Idol" was overestimated to 3 billion US dollars at once!
Boy!!
is just a variety show, and it has been estimated at 3 billion US dollars, which can only be done in a country like the United States!
But everyone who has watched "American Idol" thinks that this is a matter of course.
After all, according to the current momentum, there is no problem with "American Idol" broadcasting at least 10 seasons, no matter how conservative the estimate, $3 billion is not a problem at all.
It's not just these contestants who are famous, the three judges on the stage: Teresa Teng, John Denver and Leonard Rich, have also become more and more popular day by day with the continuous popularity of "American Idol".
John Denver, who has always been honest and has no scandals, reached $6 million in advertising endorsements in one go.
Lionel Rich's advertising endorsements also exceeded $4 million.
Teresa Teng is a woman and a Chinese, so the price is naturally lower, but usually 3 million US dollars is more than enough, and there are twenty or thirty brands for her to choose.
Sister Tianhou is very good at this, she is not a picky eater, and she doesn't like to waste, what she likes most is to make more money by working her own.
So with the help of Guan Weihua and Disney, she received 18 endorsements in one go, spanning fifteen kinds of commodities, and directly received $50 million in endorsement fees.
It's still a year!
If Teresa Teng can bind a two-year or three-year contract, she can earn more than $100 million this time.
But not only Teresa Teng, John Denver and Lionel Ridge are not so stupid, next year's "American Idol" will definitely hit a new high, and I will bind it for two or three years now, which is really a big loss!
In fact, Teresa Teng also wants to bind for two or three years, because after she releases the album this month, she will at most promote it until the Spring Festival, and she will end all her work, go back to Xiangjiang to accompany her little lover, and seriously prepare to conceive and have a child.
If it goes well and she gets pregnant next year, where will she go to participate in the recording of "American Idol"?
Seeing that the money is in front of her, but there is no way to earn it, she is a little distressed.
But when she called, Yin Jun also told her that if she signed an advertising endorsement, she had to have the obligation to perform her new duties, and if she couldn't move around because she was pregnant, she delayed other people's publicity or the shooting of advertising films, which was not good.
Thinking of this, she could only reluctantly agree.
By the way, Deng Lijun also told Yin Jun that her father and brothers have recently rented several villas of different sizes near the villa, and they have settled down.
Thanks to the contribution of the North American branch of Kirin Group, their green cards were quickly approved, and the next step is to wait for the special entry into the United States.
Disney and United Arts Pictures have a strong influence in California, and they have specially found government departments, and with the fastest procedures, they are expected to get citizenship in about half a year
After thinking about it, you need to make an investment for two years to get a green card, and then stay for a few years to get your citizenship.
Of course, thanks to the power of wealth, ordinary people can't get it down so quickly.
The Deng family had never been to the United States before, and now that they were fresh, they had already planned a trip from the west to New York, which was expected to take three months.
Except for one-year-old children, who are too young, to stay at home and be taken care of by servants and old ladies, they all go out.
Originally, Deng Changxi also wanted to go together, but he was still studying, so he could only stay at home in a proper manner.
Yin Jun very much agreed with this suggestion put forward by Guan Weihua.
Only by letting them not stop thinking about it will be conducive to the implementation of their own plans.
In fact, the most important thing this month is not the arrangement of the Deng family, nor the frequent success of "American Idol", but the release of Teresa Teng's album.
As early as October, in fact, Teresa Teng's record began to be promoted.
Teresa Teng has long been popular all over the world because of "Hand in Hand", so her new album, which is also the first album released worldwide, is definitely in the spotlight.
Especially after "American Idol" became popular in the United States, Leonard Rich, who knows how to be a man, has to make fun of Teresa Teng's album from time to time.
Think about it, in front of the forty or fifty million clean up audience, you often mention Teresa Teng's new album, can you not be impressive?
Therefore, the momentum on the American side is the most violent, and as the ratings of "American Idol" continue to rise, people have called to ask when they will hear Teresa Deng's new song.
They didn't wait long either.
At the beginning of November, the album's No. 3 title song, "May it be", began to be broadcast on radio stations in major countries around the world.
When someone else releases an album and hits the radio charts, the first song is definitely the best, called "the first title song".
But Deng Lijun no, it is clear that it is the third-ranked song.
"May it be" is one of the representative works of the Irish national treasure singer Enya, Deng Lijun is worthy of being the most comprehensive person among the Chinese female singers, after grinding so many times in Xiangjiang, she returned to the United States, and interpreted the ethereal atmosphere in "May it be".
A total of more than 60 countries broadcast "May it be" together, such a high-quality and ethereal song, within a few days of popularity.
While everyone was still listening to it over and over again, a week later, on November 8, the second wave of the title song "Love story" began to broadcast on the airwaves again.
Unlike "May it be", which was sung by a woman in her 30s, the song "Love story" is full of the spontaneity and sincerity of country music, and has a power that makes you want to sway gently when you listen to it.
Compared to the all-age suitability of "May it be", "Love story" directly detonated the enthusiasm of young men and women aged 15-25, who call the radio every day, hoping to hear "Love story" over and over again.
The people on the radio found it annoying, because if only "Love story" was played every day, how would other songs be pushed?
But they were also surprised by Teresa Teng's popularity.
The people on the radio are also music experts, and they certainly know what a breakthrough in sales it can be to win the hearts and minds of this group of young people.
However, all the surprises were not as big as the sensation of the number one title song "My heart ill go on" a week later.
"My heart ill go on", the classic among the classics, fully gives full play to the characteristics of Deng Lijun's wide vocal range, and the processing of the treble is even more amazing, which belongs to the feeling of calming people all at once!
Yes!
Anyone who has listened to it will have a feeling of "how can you hear such a popular song" for a moment.
It's not that there are no good songs in Europe and the United States, but people are gradually being pushed up by the expectations of Teresa Teng's new album songs, and suddenly as everyone wishes, such a classic among the classics comes, as if the whole feeling has been sublimated!
In just one day, "My heart ill go on" ranked in the top 10 of the radio music on demand charts in more than 60 countries around the world.
The next day, it went straight to the top three!
On the third day, the radio station won the first place!
No.1 in the world!!
