Chapter 1025 Three Major Hit Songs!

Entering November, with the top 16 and top 8 competitions starting one after another, the ratings of "American Idol" are like flying on an airplane, soaring all the way.

Originally, the 52 million viewers of the fourth episode at the end of October were already jaw-dropping. However, since November, the number of viewers has continued to rise, and it is an unstoppable momentum, reaching 61 million in one breath. It's really unbelievable.

In the past 20 years, there has never been a variety show as popular and topical as "American Idol".

It is not only famous on TV, but in real life, both men and women, old and young, are talking about "American Idol" with great interest and their favorite contestants.

Many families, couples, and friends have quarreled and turned against each other because they support different players.

With such a high social buzz and such a large number of viewers, "American Idol"'s advertising fees are also very profitable.

According to the current momentum, by the end of next month, "American Idol" will at least bring more than 300 million US dollars in advertising revenue to Disney! !

This is because in the first season, various publicity campaigns were not done the best.

If the second season is launched, at least the advertising revenue can be doubled to 600 million US dollars! ! !

Even now, the production budget of "American Idol" is only about 60 million U.S. dollars. After excluding all expenses, one program can earn 240 million U.S. dollars in pre-tax income. Such a good thing, the United States has almost I haven’t met him in ten years!

No!

It should be said that as the purchasing power of money continues to decline, no variety show in history has reached such an exaggerated level!

But if you think about it carefully, a talent show that has already had 61 million viewers, and is very likely to exceed an unprecedented 70 million viewers in the future, can't get 300 million US dollars in advertising revenue, which other program dares to do so?

This is just advertising revenue. In addition, "American Idol" also has various spin-off plans. In the next year, before the second season is launched, various tours, records, and singles The distribution of programs, etc., as well as the sale of selected video tapes of the programs, etc., can also bring a lot of income to Disney.

It is conservatively estimated that Disney's revenue in this area will not be lower than advertising revenue, reaching the level of 300 million US dollars. ——This is only one year!

Considering that according to the current momentum, it will have a vitality of at least ten seasons, the entire "American Idol" brand was suddenly overestimated to 3 billion US dollars!

Good guy! !

It is just a variety show, but it is actually valued at 3 billion US dollars. This can only be done in a country like the United States!

But everyone who has watched "American Idol" thinks that this is a matter of course.

After all, according to the current momentum of "American Idol", there will be no problem in broadcasting for at least 10 seasons. No matter how conservative the estimate is, there is no problem at all in US$3 billion.

It's not just these contestants who are famous. The three judges on the stage: Teresa Teng, John Denver and Lionel Richie are also becoming more and more famous day by day as "American Idol" continues to become popular. A prosperous day.

John Denver, who has always been honest and has no scandals, has earned US$6 million in advertising endorsements.

Lionel Richie's advertising endorsements also exceeded $4 million.

Teresa Teng is a woman and a Chinese, so the price is naturally lower, but usually $3 million a piece is more than enough, and there are twenty or thirty brands for her to choose from.

Sister Tianhou is very good about this. She is not picky about food and does not like waste. What she likes most is making more money through her own efforts.

So with the help of Guan Weihua and Disney, she accepted 18 endorsements in one go, covering 15 categories of products, and directly received 50 million US dollars in endorsement fees.

This is still one year old!

If Deng Lijun can be bound to a two- or three-year contract, her income will exceed 100 million US dollars.

But not only Teresa Teng, but also John Denver and Lionel Richie are not so stupid. Next year's "American Idol" will definitely hit a new high. If I am bound to it for two or three years now, it will be a big loss!

In fact, Teresa Teng also wants to be bound for two or three years, because after she releases her album this month, and will promote it until before the Spring Festival at most, she will end all work, return to Hong Kong to be with her little lover, and seriously prepare to conceive and have children. .

If everything goes well and she gets pregnant next year, where will she go to participate in the recording of "American Idol"?

Seeing the money right in front of her, but unable to earn it, she felt a little distressed.

But during the phone call, Yin Jun also told her that after signing an advertising endorsement, she had to fulfill new obligations. It would not be good if she could not move around due to pregnancy and delayed other people's publicity or the filming of commercials.

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to agree.

By the way, Deng Lijun also told Yin Jun that her father and brothers had recently rented several villas of different sizes near the villa and had all settled down.

Thanks to the efforts of the North American branch of Kirin Group, their green cards were quickly approved. The next step is to wait for the special application to obtain U.S. citizenship.

Both Disney and United Artists have a strong influence in California. They specially contacted the government department and went through the fastest procedures. It is expected that they will be able to obtain citizenship in about half a year.

Thinking about it in the future, it will take two years of investment to get a green card, and then a few more years to get citizenship. The current procedures are really fast.

Of course, this is also thanks to the power of wealth, ordinary people cannot get it so quickly.

None of the Deng family have been to the United States before, and now that they are new to the United States, they have planned a plan to travel all the way from the west to New York, which is expected to take three months.

Except for the one-year-old child who is too young and has to stay at home and be taken care of by servants and old ladies, they will all go out.

Originally, Deng Changxi also wanted to go together, but since he was still studying, he could only stay at home in a good manner.

Yin Jun very much agreed with this suggestion put forward by Guan Weihua.

Only by keeping them from resting will they not think too much and will it be conducive to the execution of their own plans.

In fact, the most important thing this month is not the arrangements of the Deng family, nor the frequent success of "American Idol", but the release of Teresa Teng's album.

As early as October, the promotion of Teresa Teng's record actually started.

Teresa Teng has long been famous all over the world because of "Hand in Hand", so her new album, which is also the first album released globally, is definitely attracting attention.

Especially after "American Idol" became popular in the United States, Lionel Richie, who knows how to behave, would joke about Teresa Teng's album from time to time.

Think about it, in front of an audience of 40 to 50 million people, you often mention Teresa Teng's new album. How can it not impress people?

Therefore, the momentum in the United States is the strongest. As the ratings of "American Idol" continue to rise, people are calling to ask when they can hear Teresa Deng's new song.

They didn't have to wait long.

In early November, the album's third-ranked title song, "May it be," began to be played on radio stations in major countries around the world.

When someone else releases an album and it hits the radio charts, the first song is definitely the best and is called the "No. 1 title song."

But Deng Lijun didn't, it was clearly stated that it was the third-ranked song.

"May it be" is one of the masterpieces of Irish national treasure singer Enya. Teresa Teng is indeed the most comprehensive among Chinese female singers. After working in Hong Kong hundreds of times, she returned to the United States and It interprets the ethereal atmosphere in "May it be".

In total, radio stations in more than 60 countries broadcast "May it be". Such a high-quality and ethereal song became popular in a few days.

While everyone was still listening to it over and over again, a week later, on November 8, the second wave of the title song "Love Story" began to be broadcast on the airwaves again.

Different from the previous song "May it be", which was sung by a 30-year-old woman, "Love Story" is full of the frankness and sincerity of country music. The power of a gentle swing.

Compared with "May it be" which is suitable for all ages, "Love story" directly ignited the enthusiasm of young men and women aged 15-25. They call the radio station every day, hoping to hear "Love" over and over again. story".

People at the radio station find it very annoying, because if they only play "Love Story" every day, how can they recommend other songs?

But they were also surprised by Teresa Teng's popularity.

The people at the radio station are also music experts. Of course they know that winning the hearts of these young people will bring about a huge breakthrough in sales.

However, all the surprises were not as big as the sensation of the number one title song "My heart will go on" another week later.

"My heart will go on" is a classic among classics, which fully utilizes Teresa Teng's wide vocal range, and her handling of high notes is even more amazing. It has the feeling of mesmerizing people at once!

Yes!

Everyone who listens to it will have the feeling of "how can such a great song be heard" for a moment.

It is not that there are no good songs in Europe and the United States, but as people's expectations for the songs in Teresa Teng's new album have gradually increased, suddenly such a classic among classics comes as everyone expected, as if the whole feeling has been sublimated!

In just one day, "My Heart Will Go On" ranked among the top ten radio music on-demand charts in more than 60 countries around the world.

The next day, I ranked directly in the top three!

On the third day, the radio stations were all ranked first!
