Chapter 283 282. What the hell is this idea? It’s a slam dunk!

Since the airing of this episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", the popularity has quickly reached a high level. It is not clear whether the ratings have broken the record, but it must be very high.

The reason why the attention is so high is that in addition to the traffic bonus of "Frozen" being in theaters, Eric's contribution cannot be ignored.

His whistle and intro were extremely catchy, and people who watched the show said they couldn't forget it. They really couldn't forget it.

It's like a curse looping endlessly in my brain.

"I declare that Eric Cooper is an absolute cancer in music. Now my mind is either letting it go or this whistle. It is driving me crazy!"

"You are definitely a music cancer, why do I think it is more appropriate to call you a genius?"

"Do you believe it? This section is Eric Cooper's improvisational performance. Anyway, after watching him, he had no idea what rap was in the middle, so I believe it."

"That rap is like a piece of shit, but its intro is as delicious as ice cream, so when mixed together it becomes shit-flavored ice cream. As long as the temperature is low enough, you can eat it as ice cream."

"Why do I think the only lyrics he sung more clearly are pornographic? I always feel like he used some jokes that he used to flirt with in private."

"I hate Eric Cooper so much. I just sang this intro to my mother and then got a beating. She asked me where I learned the bad stuff. Ugh."

"Little brother, you are too courageous. "Girl, I will teach you how to play", is it possible for you to sing this kind of words to your mother? If I were your father, I would have to break your dog legs!"

The rising popularity has led to a lot of grannies from the music section on YouTube joining in. They write their own lyrics, replace the incomprehensible rap section in the middle, and rearrange the music to gain traffic.

Eric also simply authorized anyone to use this whistle song. He is so generous.

Then something interesting happened. After a week of fermentation, the whistle song somehow climbed onto the B-list hip-pop chart.

The title song from Eminem's new album ranked 10th. I wonder if anyone will be so angry that they can't sleep at night.

Some people laughed at the ruffian Eminem because he had a bad time and met his nemesis.

Starting last year, first the new album was removed from the shelves by Eric and Michael, and after a year of holding back, it was released again and was criticized by other people's random jokes.

In the middle, I participated in "American Idol" to gain popularity, but now the show has become so confusing that even dogs can't watch it.

Bad luck seemed to be haunting him, like a devil standing above him laughing wildly.

This week, "The Bourne Supremacy" grossed a total of US$2 million at the box office, ranking second in the weekly box office.

In third place is the already crushed "National Treasure", with a box office of US$2400 million in one week and a total box office of US$8800 million in North America.

BOX lowered its box office forecast from 1.8 million in North America to 4 million globally to 1.1 million in North America and 2.5 million globally.

Compared with the production cost of 1 million US dollars and the publicity cost of no less than 2500 million, there will definitely not be much profit at the box office.

Having to rely on follow-up copyrights, Disney's idea of ​​making a fortune from "National Treasure" is doomed to failure. It is estimated that the total loss of box office and copyrights exceeds 1.3 million US dollars.

On the other hand, the box office of "Frozen" only dropped 31% this week, with a box office of US$1.02 million in North America and US$2.4 million globally. The total box office in North America reached US$2.59 million and US$6.1 million globally.

Even if you add "The Bourne Supremacy" and "National Treasure" together, it's still not enough. Even if you add up all the other movies in the same period, it's still not enough. The big screen is full of victims.

The reason why the decline is so small is because this week ushered in a new force.

I don’t know if Eric’s words on the Ellen Show played a role. “Let It Go” now has a tendency to become an anthem for the gay community.

Embracing ourselves and releasing ourselves, isn’t that what we are looking for?

So they or they walked into the cinema together.

According to a survey by MGM's marketing department, the number of adult group moviegoers increased significantly this week, second only to the child-centered family model.

With its terrifying explosive power and lasting resilience, there is no doubt that "Frozen" has demonstrated its devil-level dominance throughout June and even the early stages of July.

BOX did not dare to draw a conclusion and only gave an approximation of the box office forecast, ranging from 3.7 million to 4.5 million in North America and 10.7 billion to 11.5 billion globally.

The highest data is treated the same as "Lord of the Rings 3". If "Frozen" can reach or even surpass it, Princess Elsa will jump to the runner-up position in the global box office rankings, with only the big ship remaining above it.

The time has come to June 6, and the third week of box office war is about to begin.

Going up against "Frozen" this week is Fox's "I, Robot," also known as "I, Robot."

No one knows the screenwriter and director, but the actor is Will Smith, the man known as the King of History.

Although the Smith family was later exposed to various scandals, such as the husband and wife playing their own lives, the son introducing a boyfriend to his mother, the son having a sex change, etc.

There is also a close friend who has served Will Smith for many years and revealed that the reason why their husband and wife are not getting along is that the man is too useless.

Once you taste the large size, you will no longer be satisfied with the small size. Of course, you will not be satisfied with the toothpick stirring the water tank. O'Neal is the one.

But even if scandals continue, everyone has to admit that Will Smith has definitely been a box office bomb and a box office elixir since he entered the film and television industry.

In addition, "Frozen" is about to enter its third week, and the momentum will definitely slow down, so the Six Majors still have great confidence in Fox's sniper.

But what no one expected was that on the eve of the war, Fox suddenly announced its withdrawal.

I don’t know how they reached an agreement with the theaters, but "I, Robot" has continued like this, and it is unknown when it will be released again.

Not only were the fans confused by this operation, but the actors were also confused, and even the six major members felt the pain of being stabbed in the back.

Rumor has it that Disney and Universal are furious, and we are the ones who took the lead and lost so much blood.

Now that the enemy's momentum has weakened, it is a good time to counterattack. You tell me that you have withdrawn, abandoned your friendly forces and withdrawn, I will fuck your mother!

Do you want me to spend hundreds of millions to play games with you?

FUCK!

But it's useless no matter how angry or anxious they are, it's a done deal that can't be changed.

In other words, in the next week, the movie market will become a slaughterhouse for "Frozen."

You don’t need to watch those low-budget movies. They are all just shrimps and soldiers. It won’t be a big concern.

The only thing that poses a slight threat is "The Bourne Supremacy", but what can Jason Bourne do?

"Honey, you look so happy tonight, tonight."

Ashley frowned tightly, feeling like she was flying in the sky, with nitrogen accelerating behind her, and her good sister Mary Olson helping to add power.

"Happy, of course I'm happy. If nothing else happens, Fox will be in chaos."

"Why? Thomas Rothman is also addicted to playing red sofa?"

"No, there are people willing to cause trouble for him."

"Are you saying that you were behind the sudden withdrawal of "Mechanical Enemy"?" "Not entirely, but that's one of the reasons. Anyway, just wait and see the good show, no. It's coming!"

Hearing this, Mary hurriedly came around and lay down, doing a devil-fighting kick: "Quick, come in!"

"Huh? Which of you wants it?"

"half each."

"Why the hell is it half the same for one person?"

"Pinch it off!"

"Drink. It's late!"

"Get off!"

Mary pushed Eric away and lay down with her head down.

While "Frozen" is killing everyone on the big screen, Lionheart is in better and better shape.

Last week, the website launched the new drama "American Horror Story", and the variety shows "Knife Forging Contest" and "Ninja Warrior Challenge" were launched.

All three programs have received good reviews. "American Horror" has an imdb score of 8. Audiences generally commented that it was novel, interesting and suspenseful.

"Knife Forging Competition" scored 8.3 points. Although it is not the best among variety shows, it is still excellent.

The reason why the score is not very high is probably because the audience is almost all male. Backend data shows that male accounts account for as high as 89%.

Compared with other variety shows, this data cannot be described as an exaggeration, it is simply a deformity.

But deformity also has the advantage of being deformed, that is, it can cultivate a group of die-hard fans. As long as there is a "Knife Forging Competition" for one day, they will contribute to Lionheart.com for one day.

"Ninja Warrior Challenge" scored much better, with a high score of 9.7.

The $100 million reward is hanging there, waiting to see who has the ability to take it.

Of course, the most highly rated and popular variety show currently on Lionheart is still "The Voice."

More than 2000 million member accounts will choose to watch the last episode on the day it goes online, and these 2000 million member accounts do not represent 2000 million viewers.

An account is equivalent to a TV. Are you the only one watching your TV?

Of course not, it was most likely that the family watched it together.

In other words, this number will definitely far exceed 2000 million people, and may double, or even more.

No one knows exactly how many people there are, Nielsen cannot count online programs, and Lionheart itself doesn’t know.

Those who have the most say in this matter are actually the major advertisers. They have wanted to advertise since "The Voice" was launched, but they have been unable to find a way.

Now that the finals are very close, Eric and McQueen discussed it and decided to choose the venue at Houston's Ryland Stadium, which is the stadium that will host the Super Bowl this year.

The purpose of choosing here is self-evident. We want to benchmark against the Super Bowl and break the ceiling of variety shows.

How bold the man is, how fruitful the land is!
The Rilant Stadium covers a huge area and can accommodate more than 7 spectators. Ticket sales started a month ago.

The lowest ticket price at that time was US$1000 per ticket, the mid-range ticket price was US$1299 per ticket, the high-end ticket price was US$1599 per ticket, and special seats were US$1999 per ticket.

However, only 3 tickets were sold to the outside world. If you can grab it, you can get it. If you can't grab it, blame yourself.

Don’t be too expensive. Look at my configuration. If you buy a ticket, you can watch performances by Michael McNamara, Celine Dion, Jenny and Jayz at the same time.

There are also a lot of celebrities who will come to support. This kind of opportunity may only come once in a lifetime. If you buy it, you will make money.

In addition, this year’s Super Bowl tickets cost at least US$2000, and tickets in the core area are as high as US$5500, which is really expensive.

Of course, $5500 is nothing compared to Super Bowl tickets ten years from now!

At that time, the average price was US$4 to US$, and the highest price per ticket in the core area was US$. Who was there to reason with?

However, as the schedule of "The Voice" continues, the popularity continues to rise, and the ticket prices are also rising. The price of the 3 tickets released in the second round has increased by at least 30%.

The semi-finals have been broadcast today. Once the top four are announced, the last 10,000 tickets will be released, and the prices will be in accordance with Super Bowl standards.

And there is no need to worry about not being able to sell out, because the first two rounds of tickets have long been sold out, and the price of the highest-end price in the secondary market has nearly doubled. Those who did not grab tickets at that time regretted it.

The ticket revenue alone has exceeded 1 million US dollars. Excluding the accounting, it can bring more than 7000 million US dollars in revenue to Art Records.

The fact that tickets are sold so well reflects the popularity of "The Voice". These data are in the hands of advertisers and serve as the basis for their judgment.

The average price of Super Bowl ads this year is US$230 million, and that of "Friends" is US$210 million, which are the ceilings for variety shows and TV series respectively.

Meiyi is not greedy either. It has delayed advertisers for so long, and finally gave a base price of US$160 million, with no upper limit.

These are divided into billboards, products, brand logos, sponsorships and other methods. The more money you spend, the better the effect.

At this moment, in the office of Art Records, Eric and Michael were meeting and negotiating with advertisers one by one.

"Eric, $350 million. Pepsi-Cola wants to monopolize the naming rights. This is the highest price I can give."

"And our company requires that the name Pepsi-Cola should appear no less than seven times during the program. If you think about it, this is a pretty good deal."

After glancing at Maikou, a strange idea flashed in Eric's mind.

"Well, Randy, I have a suggestion. You don't want the naming rights. Pepsi-Cola will offer 500 million U.S. dollars, and everyone will only drink Pepsi-Cola during the game, and promise to drink at least one bottle. How about that?"

Hearing this, the other party's eyes widened excitedly: "Is that okay?"

Who doesn’t know that McQueen shot a very successful commercial for Coca-Cola back then, and now that it’s his turn, isn’t it equivalent to NTR?

Maikou's eyes darkened: "No, no, what's your idea? What if I can't hold it in and go to the toilet?"

"What are you afraid of? Drink less water before you go on stage, and we don't drink from large bottles. How many milliliters can you put in small bottles?"

"We have multiple models. I recommend the 250ml or 300ml model."

"Then Pepsi adds another $100 million, and we drink 300 ml of it, with plenty of close-ups."

"make a deal!"

The other party agreed without thinking, and Eric sent him out with a smile on his face, leaving Michael lying on the spot.
