Chapter 330: Sunset Bridge

At the moment when Chen Tian and Natalie Portman's plane flew off the runway of Los Angeles Airport, NBC, Miramax, and Chen Tian's official websites updated the headline on the homepage at the same time: "Justin crossover variety show, Natalie is fully helping; super exciting is about to start, give you absolutely wonderful!" and "Hollywood Reporter" updated the news at the same time, officially released the news that "League of Assassins" is about to start in Venice.

Although there is no specific time for the filming of League of Assassins, it is known that the filming date will not be too late.

After all, "The League of Assassins" made an appointment with "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", before which the filming time of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was set for mid-October, and now "League of Assassins" has also officially set a filming date.

Originally, this would be a news that will be more concerned by action movie fans, after all, the two films have not yet started filming already means that the quality will not be bad.

Not to mention that the "Raid", which is currently in theaters, completely convinces everyone that Chen Tian's action movies will be exceptional, and Angelina Jolie has become one of the icons of action movies today, plus Brad Pitt.

However, now more people are more curious about Chen Tian's cross-border variety show, if Chen Tian's cross-border TV series filmed "Prison Break", then this time the interference in variety shows is completely beyond people's imagination.

Variety shows are considered a relatively high-rated group in North America, and the types of programs can be divided into six major types: entertainment talk, reality show, puzzle gambling, variety show games, marriage and love speed dating, and grassroots talent shows.

Talk shows have now become the dominant form of North American TV programs, accounting for 60%-70% of the total, although the volume is large, it does not prevent entertainment talk shows from grabbing the ratings.

Chen Tian's funny host at the Emmy Awards made many people speculate for the first time that Chen Tian might participate in the recording of a new talk show.

"It must be a talk show. Justin's linguistic talent is commendable.

And his films show that his thinking is very unique and detailed. It always captures the hearts of the audience.

If it's a talk show, it will be very good. I think I'm right. Augustine of New York University swore his opinion.

However, his views were overturned shortly after they were published.

Bengt Wallace from Los Angeles immediately posted his opinion when he saw the post.

"How can it be a talk show, although the talk show is very popular, but you don't forget who posted the news?

But NBC, NBC's ace show "Jay Renault Tonight" is a talk show.

Do you think NBC would be stupid enough to give up Jay Reno, who has been in the championship rankings, and choose to make Justin Chen a talk show that doesn't have a bit of popularity?

Obviously, it's not possible, so I think it's possible to be on a reality show or a talent show.

But I think it's most likely a talent show. Because Justin is a director, and his films are always blockbusters and word of mouth, actors can always gain a lot through his crew.

Look at the actors who have been fused by his films, and if Justin and NBC work together on a casting show, I think it will be very interesting, and Justin has the resources and the ability.

The important thing is that there is no similar show on the market right now, which is innovation and opportunity. ”

Originally, Ter Wallace's analysis convinced everyone, and indeed as he said, if this is true, then Chen Tian's future film casting can be announced.

Plus some entertainment elements and ratings highlight elements. There is no doubt that it has the potential to become a new high-hit show.

Warren Daniel, NBC's head of variety division, was eyed when he saw the reply and recorded the idea.

He is only cooperating with the above requirements now. He didn't even know what Chen Tian's show was, he only knew that it was a celebrity reality show.

Under normal circumstances, he has every right to feel the production of this show.

But now NBC executives have decided to give Chen Tian absolute freedom, Chen Tian is fully responsible, and he has to fully cooperate with Chen Tian.

Now that Chen Tian and Natalie Portman have flown to Venice, 30 senior camera and live broadcast directors from NBC TV have flown to Venice two days in advance with their work equipment.

He is the boss of the variety show department, but now he has to play the role of a subordinate.

This made Warren Daniel feel somewhat dissatisfied, but his professionalism suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, but he was still thinking about how to win the ratings if Chen Tian really created a casting type reality show.

There is a heated discussion on the Internet about Chen Tian getting involved in variety shows, some people support and some oppose, and some expect some to criticize.

"Compared to League of Assassins, I actually want to know more about what a variety show is, what is Justin for, why can't he just make a movie wholeheartedly?"

"I don't think that way at all, I'm just wondering if Justin is overconfident, he's constantly encroaching on all areas.

Although he did well before, and he was good as a host, this is completely different from making a variety show, unless it is a talk show. ”

"I'm willing to bet it must be a talk show, and if that's the case, maybe I'll find a reason to watch it, even though I don't know who to watch these days. ”

"I feel like Justin is making money, and he's trying to get a kick in every genre right now, even if it's not very obvious. ”

……

And NBC's competitors are feeling the pressure.

Even if Chen Tian has not been involved in variety shows before, Chen Tian has not been involved in film and television dramas before, but he has completed the initial results on "Prison Break" that all TV stations dare not imagine.

And Chen Tian is like a mythical aura, just like the title of miracle director brought to him by his films, he has always given people constant surprises and incredible.

"I don't think we need to worry at all, even though he's a popular person right now, we have enough shows to deal with it!" said Tommy Alva, the variety manager at CBS Radio, as he glanced at the crowd.

"Tommy, we've got a lot of shows, 'Dancing with the Stars,' Big Brother,' 'The Amazing Race,' 'Survivor,' 'The David Letterman Late Show', and it looks like we're the strongest.

But Tommy, don't forget, who beat our "Two and a Half Men" and "CSI: Miami"?

No one will think we're losers until it's released, because it looks like a battle between a tiger and a cat, but in the end?" said CBS Television Entertainment President Demond Leighton, staring at Tommy Alva in a calm tone.

This sentence silenced the entire CBS conference room, and indeed, as Dermund Layton said, who would have thought that CBS would lose before the release of "Prison Break".

"Prison Break" hit the first day of its release, and despite their loss, the ratings met high expectations, but the broadcast of "Prison Break" this week hit CBS hard.

Whether it is "CSI: Miami" or "Two and a Half Heroes", the ratings have declined in the overlapping stage with "Prison Break".

From 16 million viewers last week to 12 million, the loss of as many as four million viewers is a huge loss for CBS.

It is precisely because of this that when NBC announced that Chen Tian would cross over to variety shows, Dermund Layton immediately convened an emergency meeting.

"I'm pausing Layton's statement, and now it seems that the scandal between Justin Chan and Natalie Portman must have been all about the new show.

Now everyone knows the news about the two of them, and they occupy the big pages.

If a new show comes along, then they will have gained a steady audience from the beginning, plus Natalie and Justin themselves fans, as long as the show is not too bad, I think it must be a rival for us to be underestimated. ”

Like NBC, FOX, which owns the popular American Idol program, is also speculating about what type of program Chen Tian will get involved in, and they also believe that Chen Tian may have created a talent show for film and television drama casting.

even began to put the same type of program on the agenda, preparing to preemptively release it before Chen Tian's show.

However, at this moment, needless to say, NBC opponents such as FOX and CBS, even NBC insiders don't know what kind of show Chen Tian is going to do.

Chen Tian and Natalie Portman's plane is getting closer and closer to Venice, and the 20-hour trip has come to an end.

"It's been a long journey, and it's ...... to think about being abused by you," Natalie Portman turned her head to look out through the plane's window.

Chen Tian shrugged helplessly: "When you say that, people hear me think I'm a madman." ”

"But I've been to Venice several times, but I don't seem to have been to Venice yet, haven't you ever been to Venice?" asked Natalie Portman, looking at Chen Tian.

"I have left the United States very rarely, and going to China is the first time I have left the United States.

This is also my first time in Europe, Venice Water City, and it feels good to think about it. ”

"First time in Europe, well, you should enjoy Venice well, in the water city the two of us sat in a small boat.

I think of that movie, that cloister and that bridge are so beautiful!" Natalie Portman saw the beautiful and breathtaking cloister in front of her eyes.

This moment seemed to touch a certain place in her heart, and she looked at Chen Tian in front of her: "After watching that film, I always hope that the person who walked through that corridor with me for the first time in my life can accompany me for a lifetime!" (To be continued......)
