19 September 2005. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the Chinese people, this is the second day of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, but for the American imperialist people on the other side of the world, this is just an ordinary Monday of the year, which means that the rest day is over and they have to devote themselves to busy work again.

In contrast to the warm weather in early autumn, the entertainment industry in the United States began to enter a short period of cold winter.

In the film industry, the summer file filled with gunpowder has just passed, and a number of big names have gathered to fight well-made blockbusters in the nearly three-month schedule, and now with the end of the long holiday, they have also withdrawn from the big screen one by one. However, this does not mean that the competition between them ends here, and they still have a long battle to fight in the DVD tape market for the next period of time.

In the summer of 2005, rookie director Christopher Nolan was undoubtedly the biggest winner in this battle, and the rookie director, who had only directed two theatrical films before that, made his talent visible to the whole of Hollywood through the comic superhero film "Batman: Time to War".

This superhero movie became the biggest dark horse in the summer of 2005, and it stood out under the siege of the epic movie sequel "Star Wars 3" and Hollywood's two most popular superstars in recent years - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's love work "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and swept 200 million at the box office in North America, beating a number of blockbusters favored by film critics and media, and achieved the second place in the summer box office list.

This is really shocking.

You must know that in recent years, with several manga movies with huge investments in the market, they have encountered Waterloo one after another, and superhero movies have ushered in a harsh winter. In recent years, except for one "Spider-Man" that can also make investors profitable, the rest without exception have all lost money to make investors scold their mothers, and superhero-themed movies have become one of the least favored film genres by film critics in recent years. And with the precedent of "Batman Forever" in front, it is natural that "Batman: Time to War" has been given a cold reception in the film review media.

Therefore, when it won the box office weekly championship in the first week of its release, the media once exclaimed whether this also indicated that the spring of manga movies was coming.

In short, as the Dark Knight soars through the summer North American box office charts, it is foreseeable that the name Christopher Nolan will also enter the eyes of many Hollywood business giants, and a shining new star is rising in the world's most developed film industry.

And the record industry's performance this autumn has been similarly lackluster.

Although different from the film industry, the long-term and continuous sales of the record industry determine that there is no such thing as a schedule in the industry. However, the biggest stars in the music industry also tend to pick a hot time to release their albums or singles, so it is natural that September, which has no major festivals and no commemorative significance, will not be their choice.

So flipping through the major lists released by Billboard in the latest week, it is almost impossible to see unfamiliar names appearing. On the album sales chart, Flower Butterfly Maria Carey's comeback album "The EmancipationofMimi" is firmly on the top spot; On the Top 100 Singles Chart, "GoldDigger" continues to maintain its winning streak and will continue to do so unsurprisingly.

The whole music scene is so calm, and it was on such an ordinary Monday that "Tim McGraw" officially debuted.

Tuesday, September 20, 2005, 8 a.m., Los Angeles, Daisy rented an apartment.

The TV was playing "Good Morning America," a veteran news program owned by ABC TV in the United States. Daisy sat at the dining table with a glass of hot milk in her hand and absentmindedly sipped it, her attention focused on the TV screen a few meters away.

After a short period of advertising, the scene returns to the studio, where the two presenters, a man and a woman, smiling on the screen, replace the stern-looking announcer.

Daisy cheered up, drank the rest of the milk from the cup in one gulp, and scurried from the dining table to the living room sofa to sit down, grabbed the pillow and hugged it in her arms, staring at the TV screen directly in front of her with wide eyes.

"Welcome back, this is Good Morning America, and I'm your old friend Charles Gibson."

"I'm Diane Sawyer."

"Well, Charles, do you want to hear about my good news?"

"What's the good news?"

"I heard that the guest invited by the program team today is a young and beautiful girl who has just turned sixteen!"

"Wow, really? That's great news! The male host exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, "Then what are we waiting for?" Hurry up and get her up! ”

"Superficial man, just guess you're going to behave like this!" The hostess showed an expression of "I really lost to you", and her head was full of black lines.

The male host turned a deaf ear to his partner's disdain, straightened his collar and said to the camera seriously, "Please invite the guests of this issue to appear!" ”

Accompanied by the melodic BGM, the camera turned, and a beautiful blonde girl full of youthful vitality appeared in the center of the screen.

Daisy in front of the TV laughed, "Ouch, I didn't expect her to be quite photogenic." ”

As the show continued, the TV came from the male host's gentle voiceover: "Hello, little sweetheart, welcome to "Good Morning America", come, say hello to the audience in front of the TV." ”

The girl in the camera was obviously a little nervous, with a restrained smile on her face, she waved her hand stiffly when she heard this, and her voice trembled slightly, "Charles, Diane, hello, hello TV viewers, my name is Taylor Swift, I am from Nashville and a singer." ”

"Wow, cool! It's rare to see such a young singer! The male host whistled.

"That's true." The hostess answered, "And I also heard that she just released her debut single yesterday, right, Taylor?" ”

"Uh, yes, that's right." The girl answered.

"Oh? What is the title of the song? The male host asked.

"Tim McGarrow."

"Well, that's a familiar name."

"Yes," the girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "it's a country song that borrows the name of my idol." ”

The male host raised his eyebrows, "So that's the case, will you write a song called "Charles Gibson" in the future?" ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then laughed exaggeratedly, and her beautiful eyes bent into a crescent moon.

The male host raised his eyebrows and said, "I think the audience in front of the TV must be as impatient as me, okay, let's listen to this country song performed by the talented beautiful girl Miss Taylor Swift, "Tim McGraw." Hope you guys will enjoy it! ”

Immediately after a brief period of darkness, an endless golden wheat field appeared on the TV screen, and a black Ford car swayed forward on the path between the wheat fields.

“He_said_the_way_my_blue_eyes_shined

I_said:“That's_a_lie……”

After the light twelve-string guitar sound, the picture turned, accompanied by the crisp girl's singing, and the face of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Chinese boy appeared on the screen.

At this time, the roommate who shared the room with Daisy walked out of the bedroom with her messy hair rubbing her sleepy eyes, and after seeing the picture on the screen, her eyes widened suddenly, and she pointed to the TV and said in surprise, "Hey, Daisy, isn't this the boy in your video homework!" ”

"yes, how's it going, handsome?" Daisy held her head high like a proud white swan.

"Cut, handsome fart!" The white girl pouted, "But this song is quite good, what's the title?" ”

"......" Daisy glared at her and said angrily, "I don't know! ”

"Don't forget it, I'll check it myself."

The white girl laughed a few times, twisted her slender waist and swayed to the bathroom.

As she walked, she hummed the melody she had just heard on the TV, and the melodious girlish singing voice coming out of the TV, poetizing this morning light.

On September 29, 2005, the latest issue of the Billboard Hot 100 was released.

A country song called "Tim McRaw" and Taylor Swift, a name unfamiliar to American music fans, quietly landed on the most authoritative music chart in the United States, reaching No. 87.
