Chapter 7: Youth Singing and Dancing Season 1 (3)
In Robert. Soros was a trapeze artist, and after flying to DreamWorks, Jerry took him with him to ABc's program production headquarters. ABc's production headquarters is in Burbank, California, not much from DreamWorks headquarters.
Before ABc was acquired by JR Investment, although it was one of the three major broadcasters in the United States, compared with broadcasters such as cBs and nBnn, ABc was far less concerned about news and responded quickly. Not only that, but in terms of TV dramas, ABc is also at a loss to look at the pitiful ratings. The sale was a reluctant move, after all, the entire ABc had been losing money for several years. As the head of ABc's programming department, Rooney. How Adams wished ABc could come up with a fist series like Friends! It's a pity that the ABc script department can't find a good script at all.
And at this time, Jerry came to the door with Robert.
"Hello, Mr. Adams!"
"Hello! Jerry! So on the phone, you said you have an idea for a show that you want to give to me? β
"Yes, Mr. Adams! A concept unlike any American show right now! This is the material for this idea. Jerry handed over the copy that had been sorted out.
""Youth Musical" audition?" Rooney. Adams took the copy and looked at it, "This is a reality show?" β
"There's nothing wrong with that, Mr. Adams, it's reality TV. Use the camera to capture the efforts of all the participants, including the contestants and judges, whether it is their performance on stage, or the preparation off stage, whether it is their actions or their thoughts. The cast members of our show are not very old, about seventeen years old! Therefore, about their emotional development during the recording of the program, as well as their attention and impression of each other, is also what we need to film! They will learn from each other together and compete against each other on the same stage. I guess Mr. Adams should know about DreamWorks' recent film "Youth Musical", right? These actors are all actors from the movie "Youth Musical". The main reason why the idea of this show was proposed was because the crew of "Youth Musical" had a little trouble. Director Ortega's favorite filming location will not be available until three months later. I think about it, and this is the only way to solve the current problem. β
Rooney. Adams flipped through the copy, and a feeling of ecstasy welled up in his mind, but he still asked some small questions, "The plan for this show is really good!" However, Jerry and Weishenme are just looking for people to participate in the 2720741675 from the actors' union, and do not conduct large-scale auditions from the society? If it is a large-scale audition, this show will be closely related to the American people, so that Americans' attention to this show will increase accordingly! It's like Japan's large-scale talent show Ajx48 Girl Idol Tryout! β
"It's unlikely for 'Youth Musical', because in three months' time, our movie will be launched! So in such a situation, it will be much more convenient to select personnel from the actors' union! Don't worry about salary, I believe that so many unknown people in the actors' union will cherish such an opportunity! In this way, it can also solve the problem of the distribution of the lead singer and chorus of the MV of some segments of "Youth Musical"! If this time the show ABc can work well, Mr. Adams, I'll give you an entertainment show that doesn't have Friends in the ratings! The "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" audition show is just a sentinel battle. β
Entertainment with ratings no less than those of Friends? Rooney. Adams was excited.
The TV show crew of the "Youth Musical" audition show was soon formed. Under Geffen's Zhang Luo, several well-known musicians have also joined the "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" selection show.
When Kenny. The cast that Ortega and Jerry picked together (basically all of them who had never shown their faces) knew that they had a chance to shake up the Big Seven and show off their talents on TV, instead of being a passer-by in a hurry, and everyone was excited! The Screen Actors Guild (sAg) and the AftrA have countless actors in the lower echelons of Hollywood, who are pursuing their dreams while struggling with the hardships of life.
According to Jerry's words, that is, I have given you the opportunity and the stage, who can finally come out of the shadows and become the brightest star, standing in the spotlight, everything depends on your own efforts.
And for this idea proposed by Jerry, Kenny. Ortega and Rob. Marshall did not object, after all, their original work has not changed, the performance direction and dance direction, and even the location of work has not changed. The only difference is that when they're directing and choreographing, they'll always have a couple of cameras around them!
In this regard, Kenny. Ortega and Rob. Marshall complained, too, but Jerry eventually convinced them!
The filming of the first episode of the "Youth Musical" audition show began soon! Everyone's first workout location was moved from the training room to the busy Walmart supermarket in the United States.
"So guys, come and meet your instructor for today, Sarah. Miss Brightman, she's been on Shijie and Broadway! So, she knows that no matter how scared she is, on stage, she has to let go of the performance! "Ryan from the Atlanta radio wstrr_94 show. Seacrest introduced Sarah standing in front of him to the actors in front of him. Brightman.
Well, that's what Jerry poached to make a cameo! Otherwise, like Sarah. How could a big name like Brightman participate in such a small reality show! The purpose of this is mainly to cause a cameo trend in variety shows, after all, "American Idol" after this will need a large number of famous musicians and singers as contestants.
"Just remember that as an actor or as an ordinary person, fear does make you hold back! So, our first step today is to adopt a nonchalant attitude towards the things that will make you afraid. Are you all ready? Guys" Sarah. Brightman clapped his hands, drawing the attention of many players.
"yes, we're all set!"
"Very nice! You're going to put on a show for the unsuspecting customers at Walmart. Perform right in front of them! The song you sang is the "we_Are_Ain_this_together" you've been training for all this time! However, not in the form of the training room, here you have to sing the song in your own way, not only to sing, but also to feel, to use all the props at your disposal, to express it to the fullest! Let all Walmart supermarket viewers feel it. Do you understand? β,
"Understood!"
"The problem is, though, only you can hear the music! Others, can't be heard! "Sarah. Brightman pointed at Ryan. Earbuds in Seacrest's hand.
β¦β¦
"Oh, oh my God! It's just a joke. β
"Let's sing like fools?"
"They're going to think I'm crazy, like a madman running down the aisle."
"God! It's really a little different. β
"I felt my feet tremble."
β¦β¦
The selected actors began to whisper, for them, the performance is always only played indoors or in fixed scenes, like this in the crowd of random play, it is indeed a little scary to them! Even the expressions of the five pillars of the DreamWorks Club are a little unnatural! For them, recording in front of a camera or in a studio or on stage is no problem at all, but in the midst of so many people, well, this is the first time!
"You're all actors, aren't you? It's a piece of cake for you! So, take it easy, don't care about their reactions, and let's get started! See which of you is the best at attracting viewers in the supermarket! okletsgoοΌ β
And just like that, everyone dispersed! And the corresponding dozen photographers also chased out with cameras.
"Hey Jerry, what you want me to do, I've done it!" Sarah. Brightman grabbed Jerry, who was standing behind the camera, "Speaking of which, why didn't you act with them?" β
"Me?" Jerry shrugged his shoulders, "I'd love to do that......"
"If Jerry does that, I guess there's going to be a mess at Walmart soon! It's peak now! There are a lot of aunt-level characters who come out to shop! "Ryan. Seacrest interjected.
"Let's go! Guys! "Rooney who went out in person. Adams waved his hand, Jerry, Sarah. Brightman and Ryan. Sicrest moved the monitoring room en masse, where they could see the performance of all the players.
After experiencing the initial shyness, all the contestants began to open their minds, and Jerry had to admire these guys, saying that they were really good! Skateboarding, dancing, basketball, football, all the props that can be used by them, one guy actually climbed onto the cash register, singing and playing hula hoops with an intoxicated face!
This shijie is crazy! (Octave.)
