Chapter 1002: The Fierce "Idol of the United States"
What brought Yin Jun a halo was not just the movie "Beverly Hills Detective".
In fact, as early as a week before the release of "Beverly Hills Detective", on October 2, which was also Friday, there was a variety show, which was as successful as Yin Jun expected.
On this day, the first issue of "American Idol" Top 64 Championship hit an astonishing number of 22 million viewers!
A good variety show can reach 20 million people, which is indeed powerful, but it will not be unique.
But the first episode of the official broadcast can hit down 22 million viewers of the variety show, looking at all the variety shows in the world, I am afraid that there is only "American Idol".
At that time, TV stations and variety show production companies in the United States were stupid.
As a result, on the day of the release of "Beverly Hills Detective", that is, the second episode of "American Idol", the number of viewers skyrocketed to 33 million in one go, a direct increase of 50%, and even the American people themselves were shocked, not to mention these TV stations and production companies.
One of the most watched variety shows in the history of the United States appeared in the 60s, when the number of viewers was about 74.5 million, and since then, there has never been a second variety show that can break through the 50 million mark.
But now watching "American Idol", this is the rhythm of breaking 50 million viewers in minutes!
Regardless of whether it can finally break through the 74.5 million moat, but the goal of 50 million viewers is not a problem at all in the eyes of everyone today.
Especially after the third episode was broadcast, that is, after the birth of the top 32, the ratings reached 47 million in one go, and the speculation of 50 million viewers finally no one questioned it at all.
Since it is about to usher in another god-level variety show with an unprecedented 50 million viewers, the news media in the United States, whether friendly or hostile, have begun to analyze it enthusiastically.
"Another classic! Another ratings plan! A genius boy, worthy of his name!" - ABC News Commentary Program.
"TV series, movies, variety shows, books...... No one has ever done so well, done so well, what other miracles can he create? We are very much looking forward to it!" -- The New York Times.
"In front of him, the so-called Hollywood giants and TV industry overlords are nothing! Because he can use his own strength to tell everyone that none of you are my opponents!"
"Why did Jun achieve such success? We're going to do a series of follow-up stories to unravel the mystery of this talented teenager!" -- The Washington Post.
"As a veteran media person, I just want to say, American news and entertainment practitioners, please pay attention, the wolf is coming!!" - famous NBC host Kasheng Dolan.
"Let's look forward to what Yin Jun's next plan will be. As an avid rugby fan, I hope he can pick a weak team and take them all the way to dominate, hahaha ......" - CNN's famous sports commentator Nami Fujimori.

Of course, it is not only the show "American Idol" that is popular, but also the same as "Xiangjiang Idol", the three judges are equally popular.
Whether it is Leonard, who is disgusted at any time and makes people want to beat him, or the honest and honest John Denver, or the gentle and generous, Teng Lijun, who is the most loved by the contestants, has attracted the attention of various types of audiences with their different styles and different temperaments.
According to a survey, at least one-third of the audience likes to watch "American Idol" because they want to watch the comments of the three judges.
To tell the truth, when have these stupid and coarse American guys ever seen such a wonderful tear-up war?
They are all accustomed to going straight to each other, and when they suddenly see such a wonderful noisy judge and unique comments, it seems that they feel that a new door has opened in front of them, and it looks natural and energetic.
When it comes to playing with the Americans, they are definitely more open than the Chinese.
Lionel found his own rhythm a little earlier than Huang Laoxidu.
As the least famous of the three, Lionel was a little flattered and a little cautious, but after practicing the style prescribed by the program team a few times, he suddenly realized that such a model hated by thousands of people is completely the best way to get out of the position!
Therefore, in the official live broadcast of the first issue of the round of 64, Lionel was a blockbuster, relying on his poisonous tongue, he successfully scolded and cried 3, drove away 2, and since then he has directly stepped onto the peak of variety show judges.
Although the Americans are very tolerant, when they see a guy like Leonel who has been beaten, countless people can't help but call Disney to complain that this guy is too arrogant, and hope that the program team can be replaced.
But Lionel is a judge personally selected by Yin Jun, how can it be replaced?
So in the second episode of the show, Lionel directly scolded the audience who called, and sneered from time to time, making more calls for complaints.
These things, after being reported by the media, attracted more viewers to watch "American Idol", and they also wanted to see how hateful this guy who was hated by 10,000 people was.
A variety show, as long as you can attract attention so much, is already a success.
Not to mention, in fact, the other two judges are not inferior to the existence of Lionar.
Be.
In terms of attracting attention, Lionel is certainly the most powerful and the most popular.
But in terms of professionalism, John Denver is definitely a few streets away from Leonar, and people can seriously analyze from the aspects of timbre, pitch, singing skills, etc., so that every loser and winner can know their own strengths and weaknesses, which to a large extent, ensures the fairness of "American Idol".
Many professionals are saying that if Leonel is the propeller of "American Idol", then John Denver is the optimus pillar that ensures that "American Idol" can go further and further, and it is absolutely indispensable.
The last Deng Lijun, although she is Chinese, but she became famous in the United States, and the song "Hand in Hand" made all Americans regard her as their own.
Coupled with the unfair treatment of the Grammys before, many people also have sympathy for Teresa Teng.
This time, Teresa Teng was the judge of "American Idol", and she was the only judge who participated in the "XX Idol" program twice in a row, and she also had the most experience.
So from the first issue, her performance has been the most stable, atmospheric when it should be atmospheric, reconciled between John Denver and Lionar, and insisted on what should be seriously adhered to.
Such independent, strong, and confident women happen to be what Americans admire the most.
In addition, Teresa Teng is also the only woman among the three judges, and many female audiences naturally pay the most attention to her.
Don't look at the queen sister who finished recording the song, and now she is actively preparing for pregnancy, and she didn't take any more tonic medicine to make herself fat.
On the contrary, because of a lot of exercise and active recuperation, Deng Lijun's figure has become very good, and her face has also lost some weight.
She was not fat, so Yin Jun found several fashion masters, and changed the way to match Deng Lijun's clothes and decorations, and now that the three episodes of the show have passed, there is no duplicate clothing in each episode from head to toe.
Deng Lijun's setting in "American Idol" is a confidant big sister.
When the contestants are a little stuck, she will come forward to encourage them, such as hugging, helping to start, or harmonizing, etc., and when she comes to the stage, everyone can see the latest fashion outfits.
A fashionable woman is naturally also very eye-catching.
Even if Teresa Teng's appearance does not conform to the aesthetics of Americans, they prefer Lu Yan, eldest cousin and the like, but this does not prevent them from appreciating Teresa Teng's trendy dress.
Therefore, this has become another eye-catching weapon on "American Idol".
Counting so carefully, not to mention the content of "American Idol", these auxiliary off-the-field factors alone are enough to support the base of 10 million to 20 million viewers.
Let's go back to "American Idol".
When Yin Jun wrote the planning of "American Idol", it was naturally not the same as Xiangjiang's.
The culture and area, population, etc., of the two places are different, so they must not be directly copied.
However, in fact, "American Idol" is much better planned than "Xiangjiang Idol".
The reason is very simple, because Yin Jun most often watches "American Idol", and he is very familiar with "American Idol", and the template of "Xiangjiang Idol" is the original "American Idol".
There will be some differences between "American Idol" in 2003 and "American Idol" in 1981, but the connotation is still the same.
It can even be said that the 1981 version of "American Idol" can be bolder than the 2003 version in various scales, because the 70s that have just passed are the craziest era for young men and women in the United States, and this trend is still lingering in the 80s.
Therefore, Yin Jun directly added a little bit of elements from other variety shows, making it look different from other shows, good-looking, fun, and interesting, different.
In fact, the draft method and expression form of "American Idol" have been refreshing since the audition.
In the past, when choosing singers, singers went to the record company to audition to play and sing, or sent their own DEMO samples, and the record company took a fancy to it, so they would call the singers to go to the next round of interviews or negotiations.
Whether you can succeed in becoming a singer or not, what you need to give, these things the public does not know, they see the singer at the first glance, and the singer is already a singer.
It's different now, all people start from ordinary people, although it is inevitable that there will be some students from the conservatory, but more are ordinary people in life.
For example, a high school student, such as a college student, such as a young person who has just started working, or a young mother who has already given birth...... Wait a minute.
These people had no professional music training before, but with their love for music and their own talent, they came to the most concerned stage in the United States to show themselves.
They are like friends in ordinary life that everyone knows, giving people a sense of intimacy and no sense of distance.
The audience just followed them all the way, watching them grow from young and clumsy to qualified singers step by step, full of performance tension and maturity.
This feeling is as if the audience has personally cultivated singers, and their hearts are full of a sense of witness and excitement, as if they have seen their own children succeed.
This kind of participation is a very important success factor in "American Idol", which is basically on a par with the characteristics of "civilian".
