Hollywood Domination Chapter 421: First broadcast ratings

"The song is really good." Biting the finger candy in his mouth, Jon murmured in surprise, "—it seems to be better than we expected."

Beside her, Harry, a musical theater lover, sat up halfway and looked away from the computer screen, "The song really sounds good...Of course, if you can't even do this song, The whole TV series must be a tragedy."

As for "Empire of Hip-Hop", Jenny's fans know that she does not participate much in this TV series. Charles, the big insider, passed on the news. According to him, Cesare was in charge of Jennifer's venture capital from the beginning to the end. The inquiry was also very straightforward, that is, to shoot, and all the company's business affairs were handed over to him, so even though she is now one of tikt's shareholders, Charles still has no independent relationship with Jennifer Opportunities for interviews, and the legendary meal talks are of course even more out of the question.

The relationship between husband and wife is completely unclear, and even the ownership relationship within the company, the TV drama production studio led by Cesare, and the TV drama project that was promoted within half a year... as some internal information For senior fans, Jon and others have a complicated view of Cesare—for them, how Cesare is doing in the brokerage business, as an outsider lacks real sense, they only know him His position is indeed not low, and the CEO of Airborne Dream started to take power not long after. Not only did he start a TV series, but he was also leading several movie projects at the same time, which seemed to be his independent investment decisions. This really makes it hard to vote for him. After all, he just enjoyed the benefits brought by Jennifer's fame before, and he has skyrocketed in CAA, and turned into a big dream CEO. He is a gold digger boy, Jon and others still won't believe it, but if he is the kind of speculator who is going to enjoy the benefits of investing in Jennifer for a lifetime...Jon can't help but admit this kind of thinking, it is indeed true. possible.

Of course, even if Cesare is not a genius like his wife, they will not be disappointed. They are not such stable butler-type talents, they move frequently, and their handwriting is not small, and they even feel eager for quick success, which makes Jon actually a little worried about the future of Dameng—if Cesare is actually not Don't have the talent to manage the company, but rely on marriage to get to the top? Relying on Jennifer's emphasis on and infatuation with movies, and his trust in him, when Jennifer was filming, he made troubles and invested indiscriminately? To mess up the company while trying to prove your original intentions? ——Originally, she wouldn't have such worries, but now that Cesare's actions are getting bigger and bigger, she can't help thinking this way. Jennifer has been a producer since "The Devil Wears Prada", but Saray has not made a single film so far, and started three or four projects at once, which makes it hard not to doubt his mentality.

If "Empire of Hip-Hop" fails, Dameng may be in trouble, and Cesare and Jennifer will also be ridiculed... The future of the company may be cast in a shadow. Jon doesn't know how serious it is. She didn't know how the situation would develop, but she just instinctively didn't like the result. —Will Cesare accept defeat? Can Jennifer accept her husband's failure? Will they fight over Dameng's management rights? What if Cesare proved to be a bad manager? Will Jennifer continue to let him be CEO because of emotional factors? Or kick him out of the company? Will they get divorced? Will this affect Jennifer's career and her mood... These many questions are the clouds in Jon's heart. " should be more important. After all, after so many years, she has developed a belief in Jennifer's ability. How could "Fast and Furious 5" fail? On the other hand, "Hip-Hop Empire" seems to have a very slim chance of success, and if it fails, the negative impact seems to be very troublesome.

Of course, the reason why "Hip-Hop Empire" has little chance of success is also because Jon has almost never watched this kind of TV series starring all blacks before. As the top of the wasp biological chain, her education has obvious traces of white people. Although Eun has black friends, her contact with black culture is limited to one or two r&b love songs. It is hard for her to imagine anyone who would be interested in such a 'unpopular' theme. ——But just because this is a project promoted by Cesare, of course she will sit in front of the TV on time, waiting to watch the first episode of this TV series: To be honest, she is very impressed with Cesare's talent I'm also very curious. Of course, his background is very prominent, his appearance is very handsome, his education is also good, and his position has always been high. But unlike Jennifer, before that, Jon had no way to weigh Chesa at all. Lei's ability, this TV series seems to her to have an additional way to understand him.

In the first recording studio clip, Lucius Leon, played by Terrence Howard, is already showing his true colors, completely cold and professional, the image of a devil producer who doesn't care about music effects at all, There was a small conflict within 2 minutes of the opening - the newcomer singer under Lucius could not play the charm of the song itself and could not satisfy Lucius, and in order to arouse the other party's emotions, he did not hesitate to mention that the female singer died because of the gang struggle. The brother who died tragically, this gave her singing a big boost in her broken emotions. The repeated "what is love" aria has indeed achieved a progressive level and a great improvement in the auditory experience, and this This direct comparison also lifted Jon's spirits: The quality of movies and TV series cannot be hidden from anyone. Just watch the first few minutes, and you will have an intuitive feeling for the quality level of the whole show. The performance of "Hip-Hop Empire" is really surprising. Although it is an all-black team, but... the content did not make her feel that it was a drama or fake, but instead aroused a thirst for knowledge, and she had already become interested in the legendary rapper represented by Lucius.

"How dare you write, hahaha." Compared with her, Harry, who is more interested in music, popularizes some science from time to time, "Lucius's struggle history is completely copied from Jay-z himself, right? Of course he doesn’t have that many children, nor does he have an ex-wife, but he used to be in a gang, and later changed his destiny through rap, and started a company from nothing... This is exactly jay-z!”

"dr.dre, 2pac, yo, this is talking about dr.dre." Seeing on the TV screen, the T-shirts and headphones launched by the Empire Entertainment Company founded by Lucius, in Dasha, New York In the slum at the head, Jamal, a black young man, couldn't help laughing. He moved a place on his luggage bag, touched fists with the brothers who had just walked in the door, greeted him, and took the hookah from his side. Handed it over - he didn't have any desire to smoke tonight, and his attention was still on the TV series for the time being. As a rap fan, this TV series with the theme of black rap certainly attracted his attention. From the very beginning when he accidentally saw the trailer, he fell in love with it. For a young man who lives here and there with a luggage bag, TV shows are the cheapest, most economical, and most attachment-inducing way of pastime. Even cheap Internet access is difficult for him, because he has no fixed residence and can only occasionally use other people’s computer. "*, look at their bedroom - I bet drdre's mansion is more luxurious than this."

"Maybe you should try it too, you know, record something, post it on youtube, and see if you can become as famous as Justin Bieber." The owner of the old house said drunkenly, he sat up and shook hands with a few new friends in the Negro style, "Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The scene of **** and love that appeared at the right time made everyone excited. Several young people suddenly howled like wolves. They got together harmoniously, sharing beer and marijuana while watching the big-screen TV HD picture in the TV - this TV is also the best appliance in the house.

The plot structure of "Empire of Hip Hop" is actually quite simple, and the contradictions are limited to the family: headed by the male protagonist Lucius, the founder family of Empire Entertainment includes ex-wife Kookie, eldest son Andrew, second son Jamal and The six, the third son, Hakim, and the prospective stepmother, Anika, are full of conflicts and ambiguous relationships. It seems that anyone may join forces, and anyone may turn against each other. Lucius suffers from progressive frostbite and may become a vegetative state within three years, and the company is going public at a critical juncture. He not only has to deal with the listed company and find an heir among several sons, but also needs to deal with his ex-wife who was released from prison and blackmail him. personal bodyguard.

Kuqi made great contributions to Lucius's first pot of gold, and she was imprisoned for more than ten years because of it. There seems to be another secret behind her release from prison. Now she has to face the fact that she was ruthlessly abandoned by her husband. In reality, you just want to get what you deserve. The eldest son Andrew suffers from bipolar disorder and has been neglected by his parents at the same time. He has a dark heart and wants to prove himself. Jamal is a very unfortunate homosexual. Blacks have very low acceptance of homosexuality, and the rap circle is even more famous for homophobia. Therefore, the relationship between him and his father has always been very tense. Although Hakim has a good relationship with his second brother and is loved by his father, he lacks maternal love since childhood, and there are many drama elements hidden in his personality waiting to be discovered...

In the small incidents of each character, money, prostitution, luxury, crime, gangs, indulgence, these elements that accompany the rap world appear one by one, and the story of each character is closely linked to a theme. After the small incident ended, the big suspense at the beginning began--the blackmail of Lucius' younger brother, who is also Kuki's cousin, was shot in the head by Lucius, and his body fell into the water. This is the end, property disputes, family ethics, Jamal and Hakim's stardom, and the humming of songs interspersed in it, have become the content of the follow-up episodes. Like all American dramas, the first episode It left a deep suspense for the follow-up viewing process.

"It's really a work above the standard..." When the advertisement flashed in and the first episode finally ended, Jon said with some surprise, "I don't know what the ratings are like."

Although I don't know much about the life in the rap circle, and I'm not very interested, elements such as the company's listing and family infighting are still very attractive to Jon, and Jamal's homosexual plot line is also very attractive. She was very interested. Jon has always supported the lgbt people. The boldness of this line made her immediately caught by this suspense. The conflict between Jamal and his father, and even the rap circle, his choice, all made her Really looking forward to the second episode.

As far as the quality of the TV series itself is concerned, after 40 minutes of picky watching, at least 80 points are available-this TV series is not the kind of **** that relies on the face of the big dream to get reservations, and the content is messy. She was relieved, and her worst expectations for Cesare changed because of this - he must be very capable to make such a play, so the next few movies will be very exciting, after all, This was a finished product within a few months, but Jon didn't feel relieved because she had already started to worry about the ratings—it was already late at night, and she could only see rough reports until tomorrow morning.

"Well, I hope the ratings can pass." Harry also didn't report much hope for the ratings, he said with some complaints, "Why use "24 Hours of Anti-Terrorism" as the lead? It's strange enough Now, these two dramas have nothing to do with each other, if Fox is really sincere, it should let "American Idol" be its leader."

If "Anti-Terrorism 24 Hours" is Fox's trump card in TV dramas, "American Idol", an ever-popular talent show, is their reality show trump card. It is no longer the grand occasion of 2006, but it is still the number one reality show, and it is also the best lead of Fox now, and it is now the lead of "glee". This also reflects Fox's reserved attitude towards "Empire of Hip-Hop".

"If it was produced by Fox itself, it will definitely be able to get the leading role of American Idol," Harry shook his head, "Forget it, anyway, the first season is already booked, and the renewal should be no problem, which can prove that Chesa Lei's ability has been well received in the industry, and there will be no shortage of opportunities for Dameng's TV drama production in the future, and the situation should be completely opened."

"If the ratings are too bad, maybe it will be canceled for one season. After all, the cost of Fox buying the show is also high." Jon didn't let herself expect too much, she changed this somewhat heavy topic. "However, the song is very good, which is better than "glee" - they are all original, and the quality of the song can still be so good, jay-z is really good."

"Will jay-z include some songs in his own album in the future?" Harry spread his imagination, humming "what is love" while searching the Internet, "s hasn't opened yet Download it...their reaction should be faster, this is not the same as "glee", if it was not uploaded in advance, should the audience still think about it for two or three weeks?"

When he was humming the girl's love song and searching the Internet to download it, Jamal and his friends were also searching for the lyrics of "" on S. This impromptu collaboration between the second son and the third son also made them feel The melody is cool, and they are eager to imitate and learn to sing, and the result of s getting nothing makes them anxious, "*, what about the download? v, you really should have recorded it just now-the download didn't come out, now I can only wait for tomorrow—"

"When will the next episode be broadcast?" There are also many people who are really attracted by the TV series itself. Of course, the elements are different, "I like Tiana, *, if I can have a show with her--"

"It's so exciting. That last touch, bang!" V gestured intoxicatedly with gestures, "This is what Bungie deserves—he actually betrayed Lucius, he treated him so badly Not bad, *, that shot of Lucius is really cool!"

Amidst the discussions among these young men, the ratings of the first episode of "Empire of Hip-Hop" also had results in the rough report of ratings released by Nielsen early the next morning - and the 14 million ratings of the lead "Anti-Terrorism 24 Hours" Compared with the audience, "Empire of Hip-Hop" with 10.7 million audiences is considered to have handed over a very good answer sheet, with a rating of 3.8, which can be called a fantastic start, and it has already made it the most watched new drama in 2010-2011 Throne——Although there is a powerful "24 Hours of Counter-Terrorism" as the forerunner, such an achievement is not too unexpected, but beforehand, no one really thought that it would be Cesare Vijri instead of Jennifer Jefferson A drama series that was created by itself can actually produce such a high price.

——If Jennifer personally took the lead in producing it, no one would be surprised by this result, but, Cesare Vigeri? Cesare Vijari? His vision is so strong?
