The first season of "American Idol", which aired in 2002, was an extraordinary success, in addition to the whopping 22.77 million viewers, the first season of "American Idol" not only launched super singers like Kelly Clarkson, but also raised the banner of talent reality shows in the United States, which can be said to be this type of reality show in the United States.

Seeing that MM TV's "American Idol" was so popular, and other TV stations were not vegetarians, Fox immediately introduced the "Got Talent" program from the United Kingdom and launched a "America's Got Talent" program. There are also a series of variety reality shows such as "Dance in the Forest", "Dancing with the Stars", and "Don't Forget the Lyrics" launched by other TV stations, which can be called a milestone for American reality shows.

With such good benefits, MM TV naturally took advantage of the victory to launch the second season.

First of all, a lot of adjustments have been made in the broadcast time, from the first season of "American Idol" broadcast as an autumn drama in 2002 to the winter season in 2003.

It can also be seen that the TV station has high hopes for "American Idol".

The second season of "American Idol" has increased and decreased compared to the first season - the increase is the cost of the show, the cost of advertising, and the number of viewers: the second season of "American Idol" began on January 21, 2003, and the first episode was watched by 26.5 million, far higher than the 9.9 million when the first season premiered.

The most classic battle is to compare the ratings of this year's Oscars.

That's right, this year's Oscars only ranked second in Nielsen's ratings statistics, second only to "American Idol".

At the beginning of the show, the scene was extremely popular. After the presenter's introduction, the three judges, Simon Cowell, Paula Abadu, and Randy Jackson, stood out under the introduction of the host Ryan. The audience cheered thunderously. The audience base in the United States is too good, whether it is applause or boos, it can ensure that it is not cold.

"Hey. Ryan, there are four chairs today, did you find a chair for yourself? "Just sat down. Simon used his eloquence to tease the host.

Ryan had long gotten used to them. "There's no place for me there. So here comes a special judge today. ”

Randy laughed, "Special judge, how special, could it be that Michael is here, haha?" ”

"No, of course we can't invite Michael. The reason why I say special is because he said that he was going to be an audience today, but after we discussed it, we decided that it would be more appropriate to put him on stage, otherwise I was worried that my salary would not be paid. Several people looked at him strangely. Well, Mr. Chen Tiandu, please. ”

When the music started, Chen Tiandu raised his hands and greeted the audience and walked out. The three judges laughed and walked up to him to hug him and welcome him. The cheers of the audience suddenly increased by several percent, and he was full of spectators and fans who raised their hands to shake hands with him all the way.

Simon hugged him and smiled, "Chen, you know, you should have come last season." But we didn't show up until the finals. ”

Chen Tiandu shrugged: "Thank you, I've actually been watching the show all the time." You guys are amazing. The singer is also too powerful, I still think it's better to be an audience with peace of mind. ”

hugged Randy and Paula again, and then said to the audience, "This is the scene of "American Idol." It's so exciting. Excellent judges, excellent contestants, and enthusiastic audience. One thing I have to tell everyone in the audience is that since the start of the second season, the ratings have been at the top of the Nielsen charts, and even the Oscars gala has not been able to beat us. You guys are amazing. ”

"Wow..." "Papapapa~!"

Hearing this kind of ostentatious broadcast ratings, the audience was even more coaxed.

Simon opened the conversation and teased Chen Tiandu: "Chen, although you went to England to find me. Then I was told to bring the show to the United States. But I still have to remind you that this is a professional music stage. Can you handle it? ”

Chen Tiandu spread his hands. also said confidently: "I said that I came as an audience, who put my seat on the stage." "Hahaha......" The audience burst into laughter.

Randy waved his hand. "It's not okay, if you are put in the audience, the audience and the players will be in the audience, then we will become decorations on the stage."

Chen Tiandu made the action of supporting the table with his hands, and confessed with a sad face: "Actually, I am unemployed, let's mix up the appearance fee." Everyone laughed louder. The excitement continued for a while before everyone sat back in their chairs.

Tonight's performance began, and wonderful songs were sung in different capacities. The scene is very infected. And on the stage where grassroots dreams come true, everyone can substitute for themselves, and it is no wonder that the ratings have remained high since the start of the broadcast.

Chen Tiandu is indeed as he said, to be an audience. He, the audience, is responsible enough, and several judges have poisonous snakes, professionalism, and pickiness, but Chen Tiandu can only say words of encouragement, so that the contestants are strong and confident. He is eloquent, and occasionally a few jokes are thrown out of his mouth, which amuses the audience.

finally made a cameo appearance as a judge of one issue, and he got back on track again.

"Scene Ninety-Seven, Act Ten, Start Now!"

This is the finale drama, a big scene.

The real picture is done in front of Notre Dame. But if you really go to the gate of Notre Dame Cathedral to shoot, it will be too much money. So here, it was just filmed in an old city square in Prague, and later CGI will shift time and space to Notre Dame Square.

There will be a thrilling wagon chase.

Jackman will pedal two wagons and gallop wildly. In total, six horse-drawn carriages were galloping, and he was wearing various seat belts. Tumbling through the air, but also neat horse workshop beating. In the thrilling picture, there is nothing more than falling between two horses and mopping the ground with both feet at high speed.

"It's too dangerous, we should use a stand-in." The people at the insurance company tried their best to obstruct it, thinking that if Hugh Jackman had been injured in compensation, their boss would have torn them up.

Chen Tian was so annoyed that he handed it all over to Cage to negotiate.

But he was also worried about accidents, and asked Michael, the director of the stunt team, in front of Hugh Jackman: "Is there any danger, can you guarantee it?" ”

Michael grabbed his hair and said, "Any time an actor approaches an animal, it's dangerous because the actor is in an unknowable situation, and the animal can get out of control. But what we can do is what we can do. "He didn't dare to make guarantees or pack tickets.

It's really thrilling, and Hugh Jackman doesn't have the skills of Chenlong. Chen Tiandu also hesitated, "Hugh, what about your opinion, if it doesn't work, just use a stand-in." ”

Hugh Jackman took a deep breath, "I'll try, the stand-in is also an actor, and I can do what they can." Not to mention that I've been training for months. ”

After a long "" and a long neighing, Hugh Jackman set off, and all the reserve teams were nervously guarding their posts. This set of shots was taken from early morning to dark. Even the lunch box lunch is simply dealt with in the crew.

Chen Tian was tired enough, but his heart was boiling. After confirming the final picture, he stood high in the carriage and shouted, "It's finished!" Rejoice, guys! ”

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

There was chaos in the audience, Hugh Jackman almost cried, it was torture, and he threw his whip high.

More than 1,000 people came and went, and when it was finally finished, there were still more than 600 staff members on the scene. All felt that it was not easy for these three months. Chen Tiandu also hugged people when he saw them, hugged with Cage, and hugged Hugh Jackman. Hug with Johnny Depp, ...... with Kate Kiss.

laughed happily for a long time, and seeing that it was not early, the crew finally calmed down and began to pack up the camera equipment and other things, and officially announced their disbandment. Naturally, there is a carnival party in the evening.

Although the filming is complete, for such a special effects blockbuster, the post-production has just begun.

In April, the crew returned to the United States, and the matrix special effects studio has begun to divide some of the special effects of the film. Some of the things that I am not good at are outsourced to industrial light and magic, such as the whole process of werewolf transformation and so on. But Chen Tiandu can finally take a break for a while. For the completion of "Van Helsing", Paramount is undoubtedly the most concerned. Negotiate the schedule with the matrix, and do not hesitate to set it for Halloween next year.

This announcement of the schedule, I don't know how many people's hearts will be affected.

Chen Tiandu didn't have time to pay attention to anything else for the time being, because the summer vacation was approaching, and he suddenly became busy again, and there were quite a few things waiting for him to do.

The biggest thing is naturally the promotion and release of "Speed 2", which lasted two years, and the sequel to the racing movie, which was once hailed as the pinnacle of action movies, is finally going to appear on the big screen again, which also surprised fans of Speed for a while.

And the promotion of "Speed 2" has not stopped, and it is known as the first shot of the three guns of the matrix summer, and every action in the production of the sequel to the 900 million box office movie will attract attention.

The pre-promotion of "Speed 2" has long been over, and it has already passed the review with a PG13 rating, and the copy is ready, ready to land in 3,870 theaters in North America on May 15.

"Buzz~!"

The trailer opens with the frantic roar of the car motor, as if the audience is transported to the world-famous demolition car two years ago, and the memories are instantly recalled.

As the trailer unfolds, the familiar cast of Vin Diesel, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and others returns, and the cars and cars, like knight brawls, agitate each other's motors, and then release the accelerator in unison, roar out, and "boom" crash together.

As soon as the camera turned, along with the high-quality rock rap music, pictures of racing cars, bikini beauties, beer and other pictures began to appear in the picture. There are young people everywhere, racing cars, twisting their waists and hips......

With such a straightforward picture, it is declared, "Summer is coming." ”

It doesn't matter what the plot is, the big-name cars that appear in the video are enough for those car fans to count for a while. The craziest thing is the gesture of the five-meter-tall truck running wildly on the road.

The music became more and more loud, and the narrator said louder and louder: "Directed by Justin Lin and produced by Chen Tiandu, on May 15th, "Fast and Exciting 2" will be hotly debuted! (To be continued)
