Chapter 259 254 A Tragic Contrast, the Reputation of "American Idol" Collapsed

Chapter 255: Tragic contrast, the reputation of "American Idol" collapsed

Beverly Hills, Cooper's house.

The little nanny Lisa brought Eric a cup of warm milk. She was also following the recent news. She knew that something big had happened at MGM. Eric had not returned home for the past few days.

Although he often did not return home at night or came back very late in the past, it was the first time that he came back so frequently.

"He must have worked overtime until late at night every night, and then he could only rest in the company. What a poor man. I really want to hold him in my arms and comfort him."

Watching Eric eat the food quickly, Lisa understood that it was because he was worried about something in his heart, and no matter how delicious the food was, it tasted like chewing wax.

Huh

After breakfast, Eric stretched his back and breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure these days is a bit high. In order to relax his mind, he can only sleep with a few more women every day to relieve it.

There is no way. I am a simple and pure person. My life is boring and monotonous. I can only choose these few hobbies.

It's really sad to think that he is so rich!

However, even with the nourishment of supplements, my body couldn't bear it for several days in a row, so I had to go home and rest last night.

It's good to be young. After waking up from a good sleep, the feeling of fatigue was swept away, and I felt that I could fight another three hundred rounds.

When I came to the company, although it was Sunday today, some people still insisted on going to work during the special period.

He felt the change in the atmosphere from the moment he entered the door. Everyone's faces were full of smiles as before, and the tension that lasted for half a month was swept away.

As Eric said, what the company needs most now is a victory.

The popularity of Lionheart.com is like a shot of cardiac stimulant, injecting new vitality and confidence into MGM.

For more than a year, Eric has led them to rise again. Now everyone is more convinced that following his footsteps will not be wrong.

When I came to the office, Carol had already made coffee.

She didn't wear a professional suit today, but changed into a hip-wrapped bodysuit. Her hair was not tied up as usual, but was scattered on her shoulders in a messy way, and there was a pair of black glasses on her nose.

I don't know how this dress is designed. The bottom is hip-hugging, but the top is split, and a pair of big breasts are very prominent.

Seeing Carol dressed like this, Eric was stunned for a moment. Although there are not many people on weekends, this is a company. Are you sure it's appropriate to wear it?

However, even thinking this way, he couldn't help but stay on her for several seconds.

"You are so rich and generous, too eye-catching!"

Sighing, Eric said: "Carol, you are smiling happily, did you encounter any good things?"

"Yes, boss, good things, absolutely great things, go and check the news, "American Idol" was criticized badly."

Carol took two steps forward to answer, and the mature woman's breath instantly hit her face.

"No, she wants to dribble past the opponent, should I steal the ball?"

"Asshole! Wake up!"

After driving the lustful thoughts out of his mind, Eric turned on the computer: "What's going on?"

"Yeah, I have some impression."

"There is no Justin Timberlake in the promotional video, and the audience thought Fox cut him out, but after the show was broadcast last night, everyone found out that it was all fake."

"Justin Timberlake not only sat on the judges' seat, but also had the most scenes. He said a lot and had a lot of interactions."

"The audience is angry. They feel cheated and are now scolding Fox and the program team."

Carol laughed loudly, and her big tits jumped up and down with laughter. They were very dishonest and urgently needed a pair of strong hands to teach them to understand the rules.

The computer entered the homepage, and Eric was about to click on Yahoo.

Carol shook her head, reached out and held Eric's hand, and moved the mouse to another place.

"Boss, it's not this. The main battlefield is on Fox's official website."

Eric frowned slightly. This action obviously exceeded the secretary's duties. This woman's motives were not pure.

But before he could say anything, Carol had already taken her hand away as if nothing had happened, and smiled apologetically.

"The skin on my hands is a little rough. Since Ron passed away, I have to mow the lawn and repair the water pipes by myself. That is really not a woman's job."

Eric's attention returned to the Fox official website interface, found the message section, swiped it and laughed immediately.

Bad reviews, swearing, and complaining

Almost all abuse, looking down, there are hundreds of pages.

He directly clicked on the last page, which was the previous comments, not swearing.

Flipping forward again, until more than 50 pages, finally saw the first bad review.

"American Idol still retains Justin, that scumbag, bad review, goodbye!"

Looking at the time, it was left at 8:10 last night, which means that the show has only started for ten minutes, and the complaints have already begun.

"A crappy show with crappy people, Fox has lost its goodwill!"

"Everyone must not watch American Idol, it's a pure scam, they didn't delete Justin Timberlake's scenes at all."

"I declare that after Sharknado, the biggest TV scam since the millennium has been born. The difference is that Sharknado can bring us happiness, while American Idol can only make us sick!"

"What the hell is the program team doing! Why do they still keep that guy Justin, is he Murdoch's ancestor?"

"To be fair and objective, "American Idol" generally continues the style and level of the first season. Simon is still interesting, Randy Jackson and Eminem are also quite satisfactory, but Justin Timberlake is definitely the biggest failure, and it ends like this. Bar."

"Warning, there is a scumbag!"

"I not only want to give negative reviews to "American Idol", but also give positive reviews to "The Voice." After finishing half a season of "The Voice" during the day, the contrast is simply too strong."

"I agree with you upstairs. After watching "The Voice", I will watch "American Idol". I dare to say that even if the latter is perfect, it will definitely not be the opponent of the former. The variety show format of "The Voice" has far surpassed "American Idol". Leave it behind.”

"The Voice is so damn good. I love Bruno Mars so much. He may not be handsome, but he sings so charmingly."

"Katy Perry is the real god. It's hard to imagine that a young girl who has just grown up can sing so well. Her explosive power is stronger than many famous singers, at least much better than Randy Jackson and Eminem. "

"Xilin's performance is equally amazing. When white people rap, I seem to see another ruffian Eminem. Art Records simply signed him and asked him to beat Eminem."

"Am I the only one who likes Taylor Swift? Although this little girl's singing skills are not as good as Katy Perry's, I just like her."

"I also like Taylor. Let's spread the word. Taylor has opened a Facebook account. Please follow it quickly."

"Hahaha, the Big Six still want to encircle and suppress MGM, and this is the method they use? It's just ridiculous."

“Eric Cooper is awesome!”

Starting from page 55, it is estimated that at least 10,000 people have gone to Fox’s official website to leave messages.

Either give a negative review or praise "The Voice".

Listening to everyone praise your opponent on your own territory is probably the most painful thing in the world.

Carol's eyes almost turned into crescent moons: "Boss, look at the time shown in the last message is 9:12 pm, which means that in just one hour, "American Idol" was criticized by at least tens of thousands of people."

"Furthermore, Fox was still deleting the post at first, but then there were so many people scolding them that they couldn't delete it. In the end, they had to close the comments, which made people laugh to death."

"Now, not only Fox's official website, many forums and chat rooms are also criticizing the fraud of "American Idol", which has aroused public outrage."

Eric opened Rotten Tomatoes again, and the freshness score was only 46%. You must know that this represents public taste. Only when it reaches 75% freshness can it prove that a work is recognized by the public.

The freshness of the first season of "American Idol" is 96%, a full 50% difference, and this is only the first day. With the increase in the number of ratings, it is conceivable that there is still a lot of room for decline.

Looking at the score of "The Voice" again, it reached a terrifying 99%. Some people must have scored high to deliberately disgust "American Idol", but it also proves the excellence of "The Voice".

Then there is imdb, another score that makes people laugh out loud. "American Idol" only got 1 point, which still has a lot of room for decline.

On the other hand, "The Voice" received a super high score of 7. Even though the ratings of variety shows have always been more tolerant than movies, this score still shocked many people's jaws.

After taking a long breath, Eric sneered: "I originally thought that "American Idol" could at least struggle a little. It seems that I overestimated Fox."

Picked up the phone and dialed Maikou's number.

"Maiko, what are you doing? Are you paying attention to the news?"

A child's laughter sounded across the street, and Eric knew it was from Paris.

Nowadays, those who go to Neverland to play are usually his friends. Strange children must be investigated before being released to avoid causing further trouble.

Although it is a bit regretful, the prerequisite for doing charity is to protect your own safety, and no one will have any objection to this.

"Uncle Cooper, when are you coming to my house to play?" a childish voice said.

"Paris? Little cutie, do you miss me?"

"Yes, today is the weekend. I don't have to go to school. Come and play with me. Bring sister Elizabeth with you."

"I'm afraid it's not very convenient today. Elizabeth is busy with work."

"But you haven't been here for a long time." Paris' tone was a little disappointed.

"Do you think I'll bring a few more friends to accompany you next week?"

"Okay, then we agreed and we are not allowed to change!"

"We agreed not to change! Where is your father?"

"He's in the kitchen, Dad (broken voice), it's Uncle Cooper's number."

Soon, Maikou's voice came from the phone.

"Eric, I'm sorry, I was studying the recipe I brought back from China last time. What's wrong?"

"American Idol is over, you know that?"

"Hahahaha of course. I was watching the news last night. Fox made a ridiculously wrong decision. Instead of continuing to broadcast it, it is better to hide this season. At least the reputation will not collapse to this extent!"

"Fox would like to, but it's a pity that it can't! If it really does this, what will the advertisers do? How will the players explain? They will have to pay a lot of money."

"What's more, the six of them joined forces to attack MGM and retreated in the first battle. What do your teammates think? What do outsiders think?"

"Fox is riding a tiger with a hard time getting off. He is stuck in the middle and feels uncomfortable at both ends. He has to do it if he doesn't want to, but this fraud is too low-level."

"So what do you think Fox will do next? Admit the mistake? That could win back some people's hearts."

"Admit the mistake? Absolutely impossible!" Eric said sarcastically.

"Michael, do you think Murdoch, that old bastard, will admit his mistake? He is a media tycoon who can do whatever he wants and play with the public. Asking him to admit his mistake is like asking Clinton not to cheat or Hawking to stand up, not to mention that a variety show wouldn't do that."

"You're right. It looks like American Idol is going to die."

"I think it's going to die midway!"

"Hahahaha"

"Many people are asking for the full version to be released like a TV show. Everyone wants to see the sequel."

"Also, the thing you said has really happened."

"Did the advertiser contact the company?" Eric's eyes lit up. He called specifically for this matter.

"Yes, there is only the finals left in The Voice of China, which will be broadcast live. Someone asked a friend to contact me this morning, hoping to place an ad in the finals."

"What did you say? You didn't agree, did you?"

"Of course not. We are in high spirits now. After the semi-finals are broadcast, the price will definitely go sky-high."

"Yes, let's hang on to those businessmen. We must rip them off for the ads in the finals and make back all the money we missed before!"

The Super Bowl is the most expensive ad in the United States. This year, the average price of a 30-second ad in the Super Bowl is $2.3 million, and this type of ad usually sells about 50 ads.

In other words, just relying on advertising revenue, a Super Bowl can reach a terrifying 100 million.

In terms of TV series, NBC's "Friends" is the final season this year. The TV station has already announced the advertising price for the last episode. Don't quote if it's less than $1.8 million. The average price is expected to reach $2 million.

The estimated viewership for the final episode of Friends is about 35 million, and the Super Bowl is even more exaggerated, with almost 80 million people watching. There is a reason for the high price.

The Voice of China is still a month and a half away from the finals, and it depends on how many viewers it can accumulate.

It does not need to surpass Friends, because the advertising of cable TV is naturally higher than that of public TV.

Who makes public TV free? There are many viewers, but not necessarily many people are willing to pay for it. Cable TV requires money to watch, and businessmen pay more attention to this.
