"The song is really good. "Le Van muttered in some surprise, biting the finger candy in his mouth, "- it seemed a little better than we expected. ”

Beside her, Harry, a lover of musical theatre, also half-sat up and took his eyes back from the computer screen, "The song does sound good...... Of course, if you can't even do this song, the whole TV series will definitely be a tragedy. ”

For "Hip Hop Empire", Jenny's fans know that she does not have much participation in this TV series, after all, her whereabouts are still clear to fans, and they all know that this is going to be filmed in a closed style, and there is also Charles. According to him, the venture capital from Jennifer was operated by Cesare from beginning to end, and when Charles and Cesare talked about this issue, Mr. Vijerry's inquiry about Jennifer's whereabouts was also very straightforward, that is, he went to shoot, and all the business in the company was handed over to him, so although she is now one of the shareholders of Tikt, Charles still hasn't been able to have any separate interview with Jennifer, and of course the legendary dinner is not even a thought.

The relationship between husband and wife, and even the ownership relationship within the company, is a TV drama production studio led by Cesare, and a TV drama project that has been promoted within half a year...... As a senior fan with some insider information, Jon and others' views on Cesare are actually more complicated - for them, how well Cesare is doing in the agent industry, as an outsider, lacks real feeling, only knows that his position is indeed not low, and he began to officially take power soon after the CEO of Airborne Dream, not only engaged in TV series, but also brought several film projects in his hands at the same time, which seems to be his independent investment decision. This is indeed difficult to vote for him, after all, he has just watched him enjoy the benefits brought by Jennifer's fame, and he has risen to the top of CAA and turned into the CEO of Big Dream...... To say that he is a gold digging boy, this Jon and the others still won't believe it, but to say that he is the kind of speculator who is ready to enjoy the benefits of investing in Jennifer for the rest of his life...... This kind of thinking, Jon can't help but admit, is indeed possible.

Of course, even if Cesare is not a genius like his wife, they will not be disappointed, if the woman is strong and the man is weak, as long as he can help Jennifer manage the company's housekeeping, but now it seems that he is obviously not such a calm housekeeper type talent, he moves frequently, and his strokes are not small, and even give them a sense of quick success, which makes Jon actually a little worried about the future of Big Dream - what if Cesare actually does not have the talent to manage the company, but only relies on marriage to get to the top? Relying on Jennifer's attention and intoxication to movies, and trust in him, did Jennifer make trouble and invest indiscriminately when she was filming? Messing up your company when you want to prove yourself? - Originally, she wouldn't have had such worries, but now that Cesare's movements are getting bigger and bigger, she can't help but think that Jennifer has been a producer since "The Devil Wears Prada", but Cesare has not made a film until now, and he has started three or four projects at once, which makes it difficult not to doubt his mentality.

If "Hip Hop Empire" fails, Big Dreams may be in trouble, and both Cesare and Jennifer will be ridiculed...... Jon didn't know how deep the future of the company might be clouded, and she didn't know how things would turn out, but she instinctively didn't like it. - Will Cesare accept defeat? Can Jennifer accept her husband's failure? Will they quarrel over the management of Big Dreams? What if Cesare proved to be a bad manager? Will Jennifer continue to make him CEO because of emotional factors? Or kick him out of the company? Will they get divorced because of this? Will this affect Jennifer's career and her mood...... These many questions are the clouds in Jon's heart, so she attaches more importance to the success or failure of "Hip Hop Empire" than "Fast and Furious 5", after all, after so many years, she has developed a belief in Jennifer's ability, how can "Fast and Furious 5" fail? On the other hand, "Hip Hop Empire" seems to have a very slim chance of success, and once it fails, the negative impact seems to be very troublesome.

Of course, the reason why I feel that "Hip Hop Empire" has little chance of success is also because Jon has almost never watched this kind of all-black starring TV series before, as the top layer of the biological chain, her education has obvious white traces, although Jon has black friends, but the intersection with black culture is limited to one or two R&B love songs, she can't imagine anyone interested in this kind of 'unpopular' theme. - But just because this is a project that Cesare is promoting, of course she will sit in front of the TV on time and wait to watch the first episode of the TV series: to be honest, she is also very curious about Cesare's talent, of course, he has a very prominent background, he is very handsome, he has a good education, and he has always held a high position, but unlike Jennifer, Jon had no way to weigh Cesare's abilities before, and this TV series seemed to her to have an additional way to understand him.

In the studio segment at the beginning, it was played by Terrence . Howard as Lucius. Leon is already full of his true colors, completely cold and professional, and the image of a devil producer who is not affectionate at all for the sake of musical effects, and there is a skirmish within the opening 2 minutes - Lucius's rookie singer can't play the charm of the song itself, and he can't satisfy Lucius, and in order to arouse the emotions of the other party, he didn't hesitate to mention the female singer's younger brother who died tragically because of gang fighting, which made her singing voice get a big boost in the collapsed mood, and the repeated "whatislove" singing segment, It has indeed progressed layer by layer, and there has been great progress in the auditory experience, and this direct comparison has also lifted Jon's spirits: movies and TV series, the quality cannot be hidden, just watch the first few minutes, you will have an intuitive feeling about the quality level of the whole show, and at present, the performance of "Hip Hop Empire" is really surprising. Although it is an all-black team, it ...... The content did not make her feel dramatic and fake, but instead developed a desire for knowledge, and she had become interested in the legendary rapper represented by Lucius.

"How dare you write, hehehe." Compared with her, Harry, who is more interested in music, popularizes some stalks from time to time, "Lucius's struggle history is completely copied from Jay-Z itself, of course, he doesn't have so many children, and he doesn't have an ex-wife, but he used to be in a gang, and then changed his fate through rap and started a company from scratch...... It's all Jay-Z! ”

"Dr. Dre, 2pac, yo, I'm talking about Dr. Dre." Seeing the T-shirts and headphones on the TV screen from the Imperial Entertainment Company founded by Lucius, in the slums of Dashatou in New York, Jamal couldn't help but laugh, he moved a place on his duffel bag, clinked his fists with a few brothers who had just walked through the door, greeted him, and handed the hookah over to him - he didn't have any desire to smoke tonight. Hopefully, for the time being, the attention is still on the TV series. As a rap fan, this black rap-themed TV series certainly attracted his attention, and from the beginning he accidentally saw the trailer, he was in love, after all, for this young man who often has to sleep in his car and spend the night all year round with a duffel bag, TV shows are the cheapest and most economical, and the most attached to his leisure, and even cheap Internet is difficult for him to enjoy, because he has no fixed residence and can only occasionally use other people's computers. "*, look at their bedrooms - I bet Drdre's mansion is more extravagant than that."

"Maybe you should also try, you know, record something, upload it to youtube, and see if you can talk to Justin. Bieber is just as famous for this. His friend, who was also the owner of the stinking old house, said drunkenly, and he sat up and shook hands with a few new friends, "Yo oh oh! ”

Sex that appears at the right time. The love picture excited everyone, and the young men suddenly howled wolf, and they came together in harmony, sharing beer and big/hemp while watching the high-definition picture on the big screen TV, which is also the best appliance in the house.

The plot structure of "Hip Hop Empire" is actually quite simple, and the contradictions are limited to the family: led by the male protagonist Lucius, the founder family of Empire Entertainment has his ex-wife Kuqi, eldest son Andrew, second son Jamal and third son Hakim, and the prospective stepmother Anika. Lucius has ALS and may be in a vegetative state within three years, and the company is at the critical juncture of going public, not only does he have to deal with the listed company, find an heir among his sons, but also need an ex-wife who deserves to be imprisoned, and a personal bodyguard who turns his face and blackmails.

Kuqi made a great contribution to Lucius's first pot of gold, and was imprisoned for more than ten years, and there seems to be another secret behind her release, and now she has to face the reality that she was ruthlessly abandoned by her husband, and just wants to get everything she deserves. The eldest son Andrew suffers from bipolar disorder and has been ignored by his parents at the same time, his heart is dark, and he wants to prove himself, while Jamal is a very unfortunate homosexual, black people have a very low acceptance of homosexuality, and the rap circle is famous for homophobia, so his relationship with his father has been very tense, and although Hakim has a good relationship with his second brother and is also favored by his father, he has lacked maternal love since he was a child, and he doesn't know how many drama elements are hidden in his personality waiting to be discovered......

In each character's appearance of the small incident, money, □□, luxury, crime, gangs, indulgence, these elements that accompany the rap world appear one by one, each character's story is closely related to a theme, and when the small event is over, the big suspense of the opening begins - blackmailing Lucius's younger brother, who is also Kuqi's cousin Bunji, is shot in the head by Lucius, his body falls to the water, and the first episode ends here, the fight for property, family ethics, the star path of Jamal and Hakim, and the song humming interspersed in between, has become the content to be unfolded in the follow-up episodes, and like all American dramas, the first episode left a deep suspense for the follow-up viewing process.

"It's really a substandard work......" Jon said with some surprise at the end of the first episode when the ad flashed in, "I don't know what the ratings are like." ”

Although she doesn't know much about life in the rap industry, and she is not very interested, elements such as the company's listing and family infighting are still very attractive to Jon, and Jamal's gay plot line also interests her, Jon has always supported the LGBT crowd, and the boldness of this line made her grab by this suspense at once, Jamal and her father, and even the conflict in the rap circle, his choice, which made her really look forward to the second episode.

As for the quality of the TV series itself, after 40 minutes of picky viewing, at least 80 points are there - this TV series is not the kind of garbage that is booked by the face of big dreams, and the content is messy and patchwork, which makes her breathe a sigh of relief, and her worst expectations for Cesare are changed as a result - to make such a show, his ability must be very good, then the next few movies are also very exciting, after all, this is the finished product made in a few months, but Jon's mood is not relaxed because of this, Because she's already worried about the ratings - it's late at night, and she'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see the rough news.

"Well, hopefully the ratings will be passable," Harry said with some grumbling complaints, "Why use '24 Hours of Counter-Terrorism' as a lead?" It's strange enough that these two dramas don't have anything to do with each other at all, and if Fox is really sincere, he should let "American Idol" be its lead. ”

If "24 Hours of Counter-Terrorism" is Fox's trump card in TV dramas, "American Idol", a long-standing talent show, is their reality show trump card, and the number of viewers will easily break 20 million, although it is no longer the grand occasion of 2006, it is still the top-rated reality show, and it is also the best precursor to Fox now, and it is now the precursor of "Glee", both are song and dance themes, combined into Fox's Wednesday Song and Dance Night, This also somewhat reflects Fox's reservations about "Hip Hop Empire".

"If it was made by Fox himself, he would definitely be able to get the lead of the beautiful puppet," Harry shook his head, "Forget it, the first season is scheduled anyway, and it should be no problem to renew, it can prove Cesare's ability and get praise from the industry, and then the production of Big Dream's TV series will not lack opportunities, and the situation should be completely opened." ”

"If the ratings are too bad, maybe it's a season, after all, the cost of Fox to buy a show is also high," Jon didn't let himself expect too much, and she turned away from the somewhat heavy topic. "However, the songs are very good, which is better than 'Glee' - they are all original, the quality of the songs can be so good, Jay-Z is really good."

"Will Jay-Z include some songs on her album in the future?" Harry spread the wings of his imagination, and while humming "whatislove", he searched the Internet for it, "Isn't it open for download yet...... Their response should be a little faster, this is different from "Glee", it was not put on in advance, should the audience still worry about it for two or three weeks? ”

When he hummed the girl's love song and searched the Internet for download, Jamal and his friends were also searching for the lyrics of "" on S, and the improvised cooperation between the second and third sons also made them feel that the melody was cool, and they were even more eager to imitate and learn to sing, and the result of S getting nothing also made them anxious, "*, what about downloading? v, you really should have recorded it just now - the download didn't come out yet, so now you have to wait for tomorrow - "

"When is the next episode?" There are also many people who are really attracted to the TV series itself, of course, the elements are different, "I like Tiana,*, if I could have a time with her-"

"It's so exciting. One last moment, bang! Vbi gestured intoxicated, "This is what Bunge deserves—he betrayed Lucius, and he treated him well,*, Lucius's shot was so handsome!" ”

In the midst of these young men's discussions, early the next morning, in the rough ratings report released by Nielsen, the ratings of the first episode of "Hip Hop Empire" also had results - compared with the 14 million viewers of the precursor "24 Hours of Counter-Terrorism", "Hip Hop Empire" with 10.7 million viewers was a pretty good answer, and the fantastic start of 3.8 ratings has made it firmly sit on the throne of the most watched new drama in 2010-2011 - although there is a strong "24 Hours of Counter-Terrorism" As a precursor, such a result is not too unexpected, but in advance, it is true that no one expected that Cesare. Vijeri, not Jennifer. The drama created by Jefferson can actually open such a high market.

- No one would have been surprised if Jennifer had been in charge of the production, but Cesare. Vijri? Cesare. Vijri? His vision turned out to be so strong?
