It should be said that the filming of the Cabaret Youth Cup was not in New York, the home of CBS, but in Los Angeles, the closest city to Hollywood. This alone is enough to convince many young people with dreams to go here and compete in the finals.

After three or four months of preparation, auditions, knockouts, and the first few finals, the Youth Cup of Singing and Dancing has deservedly become an extremely successful talent show, and it has unlimited scenery in similar programs on various TV stations. And in the finals, CBS and MGM teamed up to invite big-name guests, and their fame, controversy, etc., all brought more attention to the show.

One of the legendary singers Michael. Jackson is arguably the most eye-catching.

If it's just about popularity, Michael at this time may not really be better than Justin. Timberlake came stronger. But unlike Boss Jia, Michael's influence is of all ages, and those who are a little older may not decide to watch a college student song and dance show because of him, but if the news involves him, they will definitely be willing to stay longer.

So it's hard to say whether MGM's invitation to Michael was based on his fame or his controversial nature.

In particular, his scandal has something to do with these young people who sing and dance - this has aroused a lot of opposition.

They don't think Michael should have been invited to participate in a show that focused on teenagers.

Daniel is a little disdainful of CBS, and even MGM. But as the boss, he was completely supportive of this plan, and the effect also showed that their decision was correct.

……

Daniel wants to see tonight's final, which many people know, and it is also the biggest gimmick of the Cabaret Youth Cup final.

Daniel. Sandler, Hollywood's most legendary superstar, rarely appears outside of movies and entertainment news. For example, talk shows, such as American Idol - even during the publicity period, I can't see him on all kinds of talk shows, especially since he became a big boss.

This is actually caused by both parties, and since he was proven to be the boss behind Plutos, there have been a lot fewer talk show invitations - because it is difficult to grasp the scale of communication with him. If only he was a simple Hollywood actor. No matter how legendary and superstar he is, he is on the show because of publicity, and he can be rampant when he chats. Now that the actor has a big conglomerate behind him, it's hard to pinpoint what will anger him - rich people are the most terrible in America.

On the other hand, at that time Daniel's own reasons, he flashed talk shows, but did not like the format very much, or was not used to it. In the process of so many years of hard work in Hollywood, he is better at standing behind the scenes. Or behind the movie character, to get a lot of things.

This hesitation on both sides makes Daniel's TV footage quite scarce. This also makes the Singing and Dancing Youth Cup finals attract attention among Daniel's fan group, whether they originally watched the show or not.

The finals were livestreamed, which challenged CBS, the contestants, and the judges, but after a few workouts, CBS itself was extremely experienced. For the atmosphere, it is natural to have their means. So there's no need to worry too much.

But the necessary rehearsals are indispensable - in fact, Daniel has already missed a rehearsal.

Daniel didn't know the top three in this dance competition, and it was obvious that they would either be deeply involved in dance and become the behind-the-scenes team of the king and queen in the years since, or they would be unknown. But star-making isn't what MGM and CBS are for. The former is for the expansion of TV production and the promotion of films, while the latter is purely for a ratings show — a partnership that CBS thinks is fantastic. So MGM is lobbying MGM, no matter how well it performs, and hopes that they will make a sequel next year and continue to work with CBS in a similar way.

Of course. For the three young people, being able to participate in the sequel to "Youth Musical" and gaining attention inside and outside Hollywood is enough to pay back the ticket price, not to mention, there are also a lot of bonuses.

Daniel's appearance made the scene slightly commotion for a while.

CBS's senior vice president Keys made a rare appearance to receive him, and there was a lot of curiosity and of course awe for the boss behind the "Cabaret" - or at least one of the bosses behind the "Youth Cup" - any young man standing in front of Daniel. He is not like the rich people who made their fortunes in technology, and although the field of investment is also cutting-edge technology, he appears as an accomplished investor - like Warren. Warren Buffett is the same.

Because of his rustiness, Daniel dragged down the rehearsal progress - but no one was going to speak hard at him.

……

"Hey, Amanda, you need to finish the handwork left over from yesterday, and you're going to hand it in tomorrow."

A housewife in New York, looking at her daughter who had scurried in front of the TV, reminded dissatisfied.

"I know, Mom, don't worry. I can tear down the unfinished part and hand it in. ”

Amanda didn't look back, quickly switching channels.

"What do you want to see? Can't we see it tomorrow? ”

"Oh no, the Cabaret Youth Cup is going to be a big final today, and, Daniel. Sandler will attend, you know? Daniel. Sandler. ”

""Youth Musical, isn't that the movie you want to watch on the weekend?"

"Yes, but the last time we watched a dance contest together, Michael. The one that Jackson participated in was called the Singing and Dancing Youth Cup. ”

Obviously, this mom is not one of those who boycott Michael, and she remembers the joy and joy she got from Michael's music when she was younger.

"Is there a relationship between them?"

Mom obviously doesn't know much about Hollywood, and her 11-year-old daughter seems to be a little more adept, and she understands this, so she is "not ashamed to ask".

"Well, what they all have in common is Daniel. Sandler, the film is his company, DD Pictures invests in, and the show is produced by MGM, which is also his company. The Youth Cup of Singing and Dancing was originally held to promote the movie. But the show itself is good, right? ”

"yes, so, you're drawn to the cinema, and they managed to do that."

Local in Los Angeles, in Chicago, in Seattle...... A lot of American families are playing out a similar scene, gathering in front of the TV to watch the finals of the Youth Cup, and then agreeing to go to the movie theater tomorrow or Saturday or Sunday — most of them have a young family member.

……

"The number of viewers has surged to 21 million, and among the key population of 18-49 year olds, it has jumped by nearly 44% compared to the previous period. It's hard for you to do that: there is no Daniel except for the factor of the final final. Sandler's impact -- a figure that's only slightly lower than Fox's "American Idol" before it, and better than all other shows of its kind this year. I think after that number is announced, maybe Daniel will need to start his own journey of rejection again, and in the last few years, he has turned down countless offers to various TV shows, and in the last two years, the offers have decreased - because everyone knows that he can't get his trip. But now, I believe that even if there is little hope, we will not give up. One person can top the viewers of an ace talk show, this kind of guest, no matter what, should be invited, right? Perhaps, I should make a suggestion to the editor-in-chief and invite Daniel to do an interview—which, I believe, would be a big benefit for Entertainment Weekly's sales. ”

"Entertainment Weekly" focused on the ratings data released by Nielsen, although when the Song and Dance Youth Cup exceeded 10 million viewers, major media also bombarded it, which was initially inconspicuous and was considered to be only part of the "Song and Dance Youth" publicity campaign, with better and better ratings, breaking everyone's expectations. Even Michael's episode, which again reached a record high of 16 million viewership, then fell. But in the last issue, the figure of 21 million, made it reach an unprecedented peak.

Entertainment Weekly attributed the success to Daniel. Sandler, but Screen magazine offered a different view.

As a professional film media, it should not pay attention to a TV talent show, but in the special case of the Singing and Dancing Youth Cup, "The Screen" does not have an obstacle.

Today, MGM's second reorganized work "Youth Musical" is about to be released, and a week ago, its first work "Bad Teacher" was released, and it unexpectedly won a single-week box office title, beating "Cars" in the third week and "Life Remote Control" in the same first week, and a new 20 million club member - Daniel's shadow was born.

Last night, the talent show of the same name for "Youth Musical" garnered a record 21 million viewers. Analysts believe that the mechanism has been a huge success, and fans who want to watch "Youth Musical" want to know a little bit about the film in advance, so they will turn on their televisions - some of which may already be covered in dust. The fans of the dance competition chose to go to the cinema to continue this sentiment in reluctance. So, CBS has more viewers, and MGM has more fans.

Based on the number of scheduled screenings and the schedule, MGM has a good chance of being a big hit this time around — as long as the movie isn't so bad that it can't be seen. ”

As "The Screen" said, the partnership between CBS and MGM has really caught the attention of many people, including cable networks and production companies - the huge positive effect between the show and the movie is indeed too enviable. However, they also know very well that this kind of thing is too occasional, and MGM only picks up an unexpected delicious fruit.

"I'm doing pretty well, am I? The reviews are quite in place, the posture is also very decent, and the expression is very reasonable, oh, fantastic. Daniel is waiting for the first-day box office to see how he performs, but his boasting may make David, who is waiting with him, a little uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )

PS: The collection is about to reach a threshold, and I hope that friends from the outstation will collect it at the starting point - purely to get an honor. Tsk, comrades who produce monthly tickets, you might as well vote for me.
