One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Eight Sincerely

I don't know where Vanity Fair got its inside information, but they are obviously a lot more authentic than gossip tabloids like the National Enquirer. Lisa Canning was sitting directly opposite Evan Bell at this time, discussing matters about the host of the Oscars.

In fact, the Academy Awards ceremony is strictly speaking, the broadcast TV station is in charge of Zhang Luo. Oscar was first televised in 1953, when it was in partnership with the TV station, until it was taken away by the TV station in 1960. In 1970, the TV station regained the broadcast rights again, but in 1976 the TV station regained the broadcast rights, this time it has continued to the present. The TV station and the academy have had a good cooperative relationship for 22 years.

It is worth mentioning that, despite the obvious fluctuations in the decline of Oscar ratings in recent years, the TV station's advertising revenue is still more than 70 million, and the average price of a 30-second advertisement is still as high as 1.4 million US dollars, although it is far more than that. Not to the Super Bowl, but still not to be underestimated.

The entire arrangement of the awards ceremony is being planned by the TV station, but the academy also has the right to provide opinions. But in general, the college is responsible for the professional part, while the TV station is responsible for the entertainment part, and they work together to complete the annual awards ceremony.

When Evan Bell received Lisa Canning's call, he kept thinking that when the "X Factor" and "Voice of America" ​​copyright tug of war at the beginning of the year, the reason why the TV station did not take action, but conveyed goodwill, was because Not because they had already started planning it at the time. Although it is a bit far-fetched to think about it, after all, it was only March, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully. After all, the 80th Oscars had just ended, and the TV station still had the broadcasting rights. calculated.

However, as far as Evan Bell knows, the person in charge is definitely not Lisa Canning. After all, Lisa Canning is not a cameo in every department. The reason why Lisa Canning came and the TV station sent Mark Bone There is a reason: since there are already familiar personal connections, direct use can obviously shorten a lot of distance.

It's as if Lisa Canning was actually talking to Evan Bell about the "American Idol" and "X Factor" auditions this summer, "This should be the first time I've seen 'American Idol'. So embarrassed."

Evan Bell curled his lips and didn't seem to care very much, "This is inevitable, but the real victory or defeat depends on the ratings, doesn't it?"

In the summer, "American Idol" and "X Factor" took the lead in conducting auditions. The broadcast time of "The Voice of America" ​​is relatively late, and it will wait until April next year, so the audition is a little later, and the competition system of "The Voice of America" ​​is different. The audition part is not planned to be produced and broadcast. After the audition, the only ones who can go to the real judges are the contestants with certain strength to reach the finals. "Voice of America" ​​does not intend to attract audiences through the audition, and everything speaks with strength. This is also the reason why the "Voice of America" ​​did not directly fight with the two competitors. But "American Idol" and "The X Factor", which had too many similarities throughout the event, were not so lucky.

In previous years, when the "American Idol" family was dominant, it was not uncommon for there to be no tens of thousands of people at the audition site, but this time the "American Idol" and "X Factor" are still in tandem, and there are still some during the period. Overlapping, which makes many contestants diverted. According to incomplete statistics, the average number of participants in the "American Idol" audition has dropped to 8,000. Although this number is still very good, it has returned to the state of the third and fourth seasons. This regression is enough to make Fox The TV station was terrified. The "X Factor" average number of auditions per game is 5,000.

It is not outstanding, but it is also very good and has a certain degree of competitiveness.

However, Evan Bell didn't care much about this, because the audition was actually a hot news. One thousand people participated in the audition and 10,000 people participated in the audition, and finally editing an hour-long program is fundamental to the TV station. It's not a problem. So, that is the sentence, the result still has to wait for the broadcast at the beginning of next year to see the competition of ratings.

"But at least Fox has sounded the alarm." Lisa Canning said with a smile, "Now that the competition for ratings among various TV stations has entered a white-hot, no one can be exempted from this. Who knows who will ultimately win this season. Who is it?" The competition for TV ratings is calculated according to the broadcast season, that is, from September of the current year to May of the following year, and this is a cycle. , stand on the stage of the Kodak Theater and enjoy the feeling of taking over the Oscars?"

This is the second time Lisa Canning mentioned the host today. The first time Evan Bell smiled and didn't speak. Lisa Canning talked about some other topics. After a few circles, This is back to the topic again. This time, Evan Bell still smiled and didn't answer immediately, but Lisa Canning had no intention of answering, she just looked at Evan Bell with a smile, a very expressive expression. Patient appearance. After a while, Evan Bell said, "You know, I'm very picky about scripts and won't be a good partner."

The awards ceremonies are also scripted. The host of the 78th and 80th Oscars, Joe Stewart, was bound by the script and failed to display his talent as a talk show, which led to the failure of the host; similarly, this year When the Oscars were held at the beginning of the year, because of the writers' strike, the script was also a long-standing problem.

Evan Bell's personality has always been hard-edged. It was like this when he went to "Saturday Night Live". He would speak out his thoughts, and the screenwriters of the show would discuss it carefully, but "Saturday Night Live" would cooperate. The guests come to write the script, so the cooperation is quite pleasant; when I hosted the Tony Awards, there were also screenwriters, but the Tony Awards are special. It is the host's ability to play on the spot and the entire ability to connect, ten years of Broadway's solid foundation and excellent eloquence, so that Evan Bell has completed the task and won the only Emmy Award Camp Cup so far.

Therefore, Evan Bell specifically raised this matter. No matter who the director of Oscar is or who the screenwriter is, Evan Bell is bound to have a lot of self-insistence on the script, which will lead to the emergence of the cooperation process. Lots of questions, and Evan Bell isn't one to compromise professionally.

I remember the 83rd Academy Awards in my last life. James Franco and Anne Hathaway became the youngest hosting partners in Oscar history, but their hosting was a disaster. The biggest reason is that Communication issues with the script. The two young people are people with their own ideas. They have a lot of ideas for the script, but unfortunately they were all rejected by the producer and director. James Franco even blamed the producer unceremoniously after the award ceremony. They refused to take the moderator's opinion.

One of the most oozing scenes is that Anne Hathaway and James Franco cross-talk. Originally, James Franco planned to imitate Cher in "Funny Show", but the song was not shortlisted and could only be produced in production. At the request of the person and the director, dressed up as Marilyn-Monroe, and had to deliberately make an embarrassment on stage! This made the whole awards ceremony a mess.

If Evan Bell's personality is used, it is estimated that he will quarrel with the screenwriter, producer, and director. Maybe Evan Bell will not take the burden' because he has a sense of responsibility for his work, but maybe he will live on the stage. Do it directly at all times, and it will be a disaster.

"Evan, trust me, we know your character." The smile on Lisa Canning's face was a little more helpless. In fact, she also knew that if Evan Bell was the host, it would be very risky. It's a big risk, and the current TV station's preferred director is Bill Lianton, another short-tempered person. Even if there is no grievance between "Dream Girl" and "Perfume", these two strong personalities collide together. It is also unbearable. "But we still want you to be the host."

Evan Bell raised his eyebrows with a noncommittal expression. Lisa Canning knew that this was a sign of willingness to hear, "You are an excellent host, we have confirmed this on many occasions, and your wit and eloquence can bring a lot to the whole awards ceremony. Surprise." Lisa Canning was not talking politely, but looked at Evan Bell very seriously and stated her thoughts, "And we think that with your youth, you can not only attract young viewers, but also for It's also attractive to professionals."

She also did not hide the TV station's desire for ratings. "Of course, the most important thing is that we feel that the audience has not really appreciated your style as a host. Don't you want to challenge it?"

I have to say that Lisa Canning really has three tactics, and her last sentence hit Evan Bell's idea. The host of the Tony Awards was actually because Evan Bell wanted to try it out; this time the host of the Oscars was another challenge, and for Evan Bell, the challenge was fatal Appeal.

Evan Bell, as a singer, an actor, a psychologist, and an architect, has always been well-known, but as a host, the ratings of "Saturday Night Live" are very good, but it is "Night" live, Saturday The audience at 11:30 in the middle of the night can be very limited. As for the Tony Awards, there is no live broadcast at all. So, Lisa Canning's last words are the real killer.
