The audition stage of the first season of "American Idol" has been completed on November 16, with a total of 16 issues, which is just half of the total drama of the first season plan. All 32 shortlisted players have been finalized and begin to enter the winter break period. The average audience of the 16 programs reached 31.7 million. The average audience rating of the core audience group aged 18 to 49 was 17.5%, all of which were far ahead of other TV programs in the same period.

According to the schedule, the second half of the first quarter will return on February 6 next year.

In order to ensure that the popularity of "American Idol" will not dissipate during the more than two month winter break, Denise TV Department has made a very detailed marketing plan for the winter break.

In addition to ABC's official publicity, all the 32 finalists regularly interact with the audience on Facebook, instagram and other social platforms according to the requirements of the production team to share the behind the scenes news of receiving official singing training during the winter break.

Simon's theme song "dream it possible" for the project is also a big part of the marketing plan of "American Idol" during the winter break.

Most of the time, the "proposition composition" often does not produce very good works.

So at the beginning, American Idol producer Shane Derek wanted Simon to create a theme song for the show, mainly to take advantage of his boss's reputation. When the production team received the score of Simon's song to New York, they were all prostrated.

A large part of the production team are from danielis records. They have been in this circle for a long time, so they can have a deeper understanding of the quality of a song than ordinary people. "Dream it possible" not only fits the theme of "American Idol" from the name to the lyrics, but also reaches the main level of the top pop singer record.

Amazing.

It's just amazing.

It's hard to feel like carrying a pearl. Bear with it for a while, and send the sample of the initial recorded single to Simon in San Francisco. Meanwhile, American Idol producer Shane Derek announced the news on his Facebook page at 8:00 p.m.

Simon westero's theme song for "American Idol" will be released on January 5, 1996.

With Facebook officially pushing the news as a hot topic, less than an hour after the announcement of the news at 8 o'clock east coast time, Shane Derek's Facebook blog like number exceeded 2.1 million, and hundreds of thousands of users also forwarded the message.

Among the hundreds of thousands of comments, most people are looking forward to Simon westero's latest works, and a few people are very looking forward to the kind of curse.

It's not December yet.

The single will be released on January 5. Well, it belongs to the normal propaganda rhythm when it is put in other singers.

It's just that.

Can't it be released in advance?

Can't you?!

As a result, the sales of all Simon related singles on tincobail's broadcast website increased significantly in the next 24 hours.

Then, someone even set up a petition website to solicit netizens' support, and asked the "American Idol" production team to release the single created by Simon westero in advance. As for whether it is to promote "American Idol", who cares, we just want to hear Simon's new song.

With the help of igritte, the petition website soon became popular news, and countless netizens rushed to vote.

In just three days, the number of supporters on the website has exceeded 5 million.

Even though most of them are following suit, the "American Idol" production team has to pay attention to it. The manipulation and utilization of public opinion can often achieve unexpected results. At the same time, it is a force that absolutely needs attention.

After the emergency negotiation, the production team finally announced on November 30 that it would advance the release date of "American Idol" theme song to December 15.

We can't compromise this time.

After all, the sample of the song has just been completed, and there is still a lot of work to do, such as making MV. It is impossible to launch a semi-finished song.

In addition, tincobail also announced that the theme song will be simultaneously registered on the broadcast platform, which once again promoted the sales of iPlayer players.

In the North American film market, the second week of Thanksgiving from November 24 to November 30 will also close soon.

The fourth 3D animated film "beauty and the beast" produced by danielis won the first place in the box office of the week without any doubt. Because of the weak performance of the new film last week, the box office of the next week decreased by only 23%, and continued to earn $52.91 million. In two weeks, the cumulative box office easily exceeded $100 million, reaching $121.63 million.

Martin Scorsese's new film "Las Vegas" won the second place on the list.

In the first seven days of the first week, Las Vegas earned $16.91 million at the box office, which was the best of last week's new films, but it was too far behind the number one beauty and the beast.The first week's revenue is $16.91 million. Combined with word-of-mouth and box office trends, the final domestic box office of the film is likely to be between $40 million and $50 million.

Warner Bros. provided $52 million for the production cost of the movie. At present, the domestic box office is equivalent to the production cost, even if the overseas performance will be better, it will be lucky to finally recover the cost at the box office. In general, even if there is no loss, considering the time cost, it is basically a busy schedule.

The third place is also the new film, starring Wesley Snapes, which started on November 24. The first week's box office revenue of this action film about a cash truck robbery was $13.18 million. The production cost of the film is only $30 million, and the harvest is not bad.

The fourth place is another movie, White House romance, which is produced by Sony Pictures, just like silver line. In the second week, the box office of the movie dropped only 21% and earned $10.66 million, which is in line with the box office trend generally predicted by the industry. In two weeks, the cumulative box office of the movie was $24.15 million.

However, considering the $62 million production cost of the White House, Sony is not happy with such a box office figure.

The fifth place is "evocation 2", a space project produced by danielis's new world films.

In the fifth week of its release, evocation 2 fell 25%, earned $7.79 million and grossed $112.91 million.

Even if it's not as good as beauty and the beast, evocation 2 is also the most enviable project for Hollywood studios during this period. With low and medium production cost of 25 million US dollars, steady market trend and box office of over 100 million both at home and abroad, it's the low input and high output movie that any film company dreams of.

In addition to the top five, it's worth mentioning that MGM's "good things in pairs" has a box office of $7.43 million in its first week, ranking sixth in the list. The production cost of this Olsen twins family comedy is only $10 million. Therefore, the box office of $7.43 million in the first week has fully met the expectations of the producers.

"Cut throat island" by Paramount and karock, after being painted in a large scale the next week, the box office, which was not high, also plummeted 56% again, leaving only $2.17 million in the second week. In two weeks, the $100 million super blockbuster grossed $7.13 million. With the expiration of the two-week minimum screening contract, "cut throat island" was basically finished on December 1, so the box office figure was frozen.

With the box office fiasco of the project, the saliva surrounding the film is flying all over the place these days.

Basically, it's paramount, kaloc and a group of film creators who are shirking their responsibilities with each other, and all kinds of revelations emerge in endlessly.

Simon finally had to suppress some public opinions.

It's mainly because Martin Campbell is not only the director of "cut throat island" but also the director of "Wonder Woman" series, and "wonder woman 2" has been launched. Neither Denise nor Time Warner will allow the negative word-of-mouth of "cut throat island" to affect "wonder woman 2". The two giants work hard, and the quarrel in the media soon shifts the target.

The results are basically certain.

Martin Campbell went out for a long time and returned to danielis to make wonder woman 2. He didn't dare to ask for this or that beyond the original contract. This is what Simon wanted to see from the beginning.

Paramount has chicken feathers.

Even if sigram group won paramount, it still did not lose its confidence in the entertainment industry. After several parties tossed about, they probably felt that Hollywood is not so easy to play.

Karock pictures went bankrupt and began liquidation.

The original Renny Harlem and Gina Davis survived because they didn't participate in the project, but the new heroes and heroines, William Baldwin and Daryl Hannah, both suffered heavy losses.

William Baldwin is the most handsome of Baldwin's brothers. He is hopeful to become an action star. Unfortunately, it will be difficult for him to receive projects of the same size in the next few years after cut throat island.

Daryl Hannah, who became famous in the early 1980s by taking part in blade runner, has been trying to hit the front line all these years, and the resources are quite good. In addition to blade runner, she has also cooperated with Robert Redford, Tom Hanks, Michael Douglas and other celebrities, but it's a pity that she has always been in a state that makes the audience very familiar but half red.

Because "cut throat island" is a female oriented film, this is a breakthrough for Daryl Hannah.

It's a pity that carp's failure is worse than that of William Baldwin.

Generally speaking, after last year's IPO, some of Hollywood's patterns have been divided. Denise entertainment no longer retains its strength this year. As a result, other Hollywood studios have had a bad year in a row.

Among the seven major Hollywood companies, only Denise entertainment and Time Warner Group are really controlled by American capital.

The remaining five companies, Sony, control Colombia and have phased out the brand. Although the boss of fox immigrated to the United States in the 20th century, the core of its parent company, News Corporation, was still in Australia. Paramount was bought by sigram group of Canada, MGM was controlled by an Australian consortium headed by the Johnston family, and Disney, once a representative of American culture, was bought by Vivendi of France.In this case, even if Denise entertainment is too strong to make the other five want to rebound, it is doomed to have no result.

Not to mention the increasingly profound political layout of the westero system in the federal authorities, even without these, overseas capital wants to crack down on local capital. In any country in the world, the result is basically to help the relatives but not to help them.

As for Time Warner, under Simon's going concern, the relationship between the two companies has always been very close. Even after the acquisition by GE, the two sides can get along well.

Commercial can't compete with danielis entertainment, and it's impossible to suppress it by other means. After a year's downturn, Sony Pictures, paramount and Disney, which danielis entertainment focuses on suppressing, had to quietly reduce the production scale of 1996 at the end of this year.

Although we have to do it as a last resort, it is obvious that doing so will only form a vicious circle.

Danielis entertainment and its allies are able to eat all the market space that these studios have offered. Then, Sony's living space will be smaller and smaller. When they finally wake up, they may have completely become second tier studios in Hollywood.

Malibu, daenerys studios.

Simon's last schedule on the afternoon of December 1 is to discuss the package financing plan with Sherry Lansing, MGM's director.

During this period of time, Shirley Lansing dug up two senior executives in charge of financing of karoke pictures, which had filed for bankruptcy, to MGM, which can be regarded as a preliminary succession of the financing channels of karoke pictures.

Even though they had just made a big fall in the project of "cut throat island", the two persons in charge of switching to MGM disclosed MGM's financing plan to the previous investors. Even if they didn't agree, the other side also gave quite positive responses. After all, everyone knows that MGM is the younger brother of danielis entertainment, and relies on the towering tree of westero system.

Moreover, considering that danielis Entertainment's projects in the past few years have basically benefited other Hollywood studios, this time, even if MGM takes the lead, as long as Simon westero takes the lead behind the scenes, it will have considerable investment potential.

Simon also found the problem.

In addition to the speculative capital behind the scenes, the more important reason for the rise of many second - and third tier film companies is that they unexpectedly produced several very successful films in the early stage of their establishment, and finally formed a virtuous circle for a long time.

If a series of packing projects are not successful in this plan to guide overseas capital, it is likely that there will be no second time.

After all, no one is a fool.

Therefore, the best way to start is to give a big sweet. The bigger the sweet, the more attractive the follow-up.

As long as the Convention is made, even if there is only one big selling film in each issue in the future, it will bring a slightly higher return to speculative capital than other investment channels, and the locomotive effect plus positive return will continue to attract capital.

I can't bear to have a child with a wolf.

So Simon decided on the latter after some deliberation between tornado and independence day.

It's the next dose.

Moreover, Roland Emmerich, the director of independence day, is from Germany, and the financing channel of karock, which MGM took over, is basically the tax avoidance capital of Germany. In addition, Roland Emmerich's fame accumulated in the DC film universe series, will lead the German capital to double the result.

Of course, the plan will not be only for Germany.

Whether it's Europe, Asia, Australia or even Latin America, you can participate.

The only thing is self financing.

"Independence Day" in the original time and space cost 75 million US dollars, and the global box office is 800 million US dollars, more than 10 times the return on investment. Simon certainly will not let go completely. Therefore, for the whole package project, danilisi entertainment will provide 15% of the investment, which can be regarded as risk sharing. MGM will bear 15% of the investment in addition to bearing 12.5% of the issuance cost.

All in all, about 40% of the profits of this packaging agreement will be collected by the westrow system.
