Chapter 317: Saturday Night Scene (1)
Jimmy ***** is only 25 years old this year, and because of his eloquence and typhoon, he was tapped to NBC as the host of the show.
Leila doesn't know much about him, except that she knows that his popularity is not bad, but she also knows a little about his show style, such as parodying celebrities, spoofing videos and tampering with lyrics, and occasionally forgetting words and laughing to stir up the atmosphere.
As she said to Roy, her personality is not the kind that can be let go very much, so whether it is spoofing others or being spoofed by others, it is not a show style that she can accept.
Jimmy's script does a good job of dealing with this, that is, the spoof style is still there, but it doesn't spoof her, and it doesn't let her spoof others, but spoof the movies she has made!
If it's just a movie, of course Layla is fine. And she's curious to see what her film will look like in the hands of those weird masters.
In addition, the script also took care of some of her other requirements with the greatest sincerity, it can be said that the whole show will not make her feel any uncomfortable, and almost all the things she asks for are listed above, so what else is there to consider.
"Great!" Jimmy clenched his fist uncontrollably.
He was not only excited that the show would pull away the ratings because of her appearance, but also that Leila recognized his work, which was simply the greatest affirmation of him. After all, her identity is there, if it weren't for work, even if he is already quite famous now, he would not have a chance to talk to this Hollywood legend and the only heir of the Moran family.
Since it agreed, NBC naturally had to invest huge resources in publicity as soon as possible. Everyone knows what Leila's appearance means to the show and ratings, this big director who wants to be so low-key that he buries himself in the ground, the audience has too many things to know about her.
The recent "plagiarism incident" is also a highlight of concern, and who would think that Saturday Night Live episode would have no ratings?
Therefore, the entire TV network, as well as other partners in the cooperation, used the most powerful publicity offensive to promote the program with Leila's participation, and strive to create an epoch-making ratings record for that program!
As for Leila's preparation to respond to the "plagiarism incident" in the show, the audience's first reaction was "the show is coming". The public is tired of seeing Faize's eyes crying in various media all day long, and they are tired of hearing her various irresponsible complaints.
Now that all kinds of gossip are flooded, people can no longer tell what is true and what is false. Everyone now wants to know what Leila thinks and what things really are. Now that I finally have the opportunity, I want to know how many people will gather in front of the TV on the day the show airs, waiting for her to appear.
On Saturday, Layla and Roy traveled to New York for the Saturday Night Live studio.
As I've said before, it's a show that resembles a collection of spoof sketches. Usually there will be a lot of people in the show co-starring, and this time in order to cooperate with the appearance of Leila, although there will be sketches, but they will be carried out in a different way, and the main thing is to use their programs to answer and discuss the hot topics that people are currently discussing.
Layla is the heir to House Moran, the future owner of NBC, and everyone in the stage knows this. Nowadays, several popular reality shows in the station are planned by her, such as "Flyover" about fashion, and "Supermodel Competition" about models, and "American Idol", which has become popular throughout the United States and even the world.
With such a master who can feed a person with a little idea from between her teeth, will anyone not pay tribute like her ancestors?
So, when Leila appeared on stage, in addition to Jimmy himself, many leadership figures, large and small, came over. A lot of time is used up for greetings alone, and if it weren't for the urgency of time, it is estimated that another hour or two would not be enough.
This is not the first time Leila has participated in the show, but the mood is the most relaxed. Maybe it has something to do with the style of the show, after meeting the hosts who are dressed in strange ways, she feels that she may have a lot of fun this time.
Saturday Night Live was born in 1975, and in the decades since, many comedians have emerged from the show.
Leila didn't need to be on stage at the beginning, so she watched the show backstage after the show was officially recorded.
At the beginning, it was a heavyweight "figure" who took the stage, and as soon as he took the stage, he attracted earth-shattering cheers and slogans from the audience, and it was the doll from SA (Chainsaw).
Then a voice came from behind the doll: "Ianttoplayagame." (I want to play a game.) )”
"Wow!" As the most classic sentence in the movie appeared, the audience's emotions also soared.
After the second part of SA "snatched" hundreds of millions of box office at the end of last year, will anyone not know about this movie? It has long been sent into the classic hall by fans, and not only people who like horror movies worship it as a god, but also some people who are interested in movies will not let it go.
Then, a television set hanging high above the stage lit up eerily, but only a snowflake on it, and a voice responded, "Nymore." (Most people who are alive don't know to be grateful, but you won't, never will.) It's still a line that SA has used to play.
"Haha-" The audience burst out laughing again as Jimmy appeared on the TV with a look of horror.
"Ah, I feel like it's there, that witch, she must be nearby! My two buddies are missing, and I feel like I'm going to be the last! But I don't want to die here, I don't want to be an urban legend in other people's mouths, I want to go back to hosting my show!Ahhh
The screams faded as the effects wore off. It's just that such a supposedly terrifying plot not only did not scare people under Jimmy's interpretation, but made the audience laugh one by one.
At first glance, you can tell that this is a parody of the scene in "Blair the Witch", and it is even more famous than SA. Because it is still the film with the highest return on investment in the entire film history, and its promotion and publicity planning at that time was a classic case, not to mention that it also allowed a big director to present to the world.
