Chapter 83
In fact, at the beginning, Zucker didn't want to find Will Smith to serve as the host of "The Got Talent".
Emperor Wei will also be a demon in the future!
He always carries the banner of "black racism" and "feminism". Although he has extremely high voices among ordinary people, it has caused many production companies to have a headache.
"In the past few years, except for being indecisive in personal life, Emperor Wei has not done much."
The key is that he is very famous!
In 1996, the starring "Independence Day" won a box office of nearly $900 million in one fell swoop.
Not only that, after 1997, he starred in the "Man in Black" series, "Boxing Ali", "Mechanical Public Enemy", the brainwashing pyramid scheme film "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door", the "I Am a Legend" that started with a dog, etc., which are big-name films.
"Fortunately, the movie "Men in Black" has not been released yet, otherwise he would have been one of the 20 million club members. If he wanted to invite him at that time, he would definitely not be able to afford it." Zhu Ke was very grateful.
For Will Smith, Zhuke had some friendship with him.
After all, at the end of the year-end party held by Disney last year, Zhuke deliberately made friends and invited him to be one of the image spokespersons of SpongeBob House. Although he was not successful, the two of them became familiar with each other during the subsequent exchanges.
Communication with others is one of Zhuke's few specialties!
Small people also have great wisdom.
Zhu Ke, who was born in the bottom of society and was an orphan, had little ability, but he had unique insights into the good and evil of human nature, the truth and falsehood of human hearts, and was best at dealing with interpersonal relationships. Otherwise, Zhu Ke in his previous life would not have been able to do well in the entertainment industry.
“$12 million!”
This is the price that Zhuke invited him to serve as the host of "America's Got Talent"!
The first season of "America's Got Talent" has a total of 14 episodes, with a price of 12 million yuan, which means that the revenue of the first episode of Weihuang is close to 1 million US dollars.
There is no doubt that this is a very sincere price.
Finally, after Zhuke's multiple invitations, Weihuang agreed to serve as the host of the program.
"Damn!"
"12 million US dollars! I don't feel sorry for me, I don't believe it!"
Zhuke is indeed a little distressed. However, in order to succeed in "America's Got Talent" and find a big-name appearance, Zhuke still reluctantly paid.
At the same time, the "black and white race" confrontation in the United States has been a bit fierce.
In a variety show, if the judges and hosts are all unified whites and no people of color participate, then public opinion will definitely be able to curse UPN TV!
.........
February 20, 1997.
After playing the "SpongeBob SquarePants" episode of the day, UPN TV once again promoted "America's Got Talent".
The three judges will debut first!
Former editor-in-chief of the British Daily Mirror: Pierce Morgan;
A well-known veteran actor in the United States, singer: David Hasselhoff;
Famous Hollywood music PD, writer, agent: Sharon Ospoon (female)
The three judges are all considered to be famous in their respective fields; the total salary of three people is $7 million in a season, but David Hasselhoff alone spent $5 million.
Is he worth the price?
Of course it's worth it!
Because he is David Hasselhoff!
This veteran American singer and actor may be of poor fame around the world, but he is very influential among the middle-aged women in the United States. He has been in the industry for nearly 30 years and has participated in as many as 39 movies/TV series, and is a household name in America.
Especially the "Coast Lifeguards", which he produced and starred in, is even more famous.
At its peak, it was counted as more than 1.1 billion people watching the show every week in 142 countries and regions.
From 1989 to 2001, the overseas channel of the Great Heavenly Chronicle CCTV also introduced and broadcasted two seasons.
Is the series "Friends" popular?
You know, it is the most well-known and popular TV series in the history of American television.
But in the episode "Friends", the most favorite TV series of the protagonists Qian Le and Joey is "Coast Life Saving Team". They always drink beer together while watching the bikini beauties in the play running around and screaming excitedly. It is also because of this drama that they can quickly establish friendship, become friends after becoming roommates, and eventually become best friends of their lives. When watching this TV series, their favorite words: run, run, run!!
Sure enough, as soon as the judges of "The Got Talent" came out, the audience who watched UPN TV was in full swing again.
“Wow~!”
"It's David Hasselhoff!"
"Yes, he is my mom's favorite actor!"
"I didn't expect that he would become a judge of "The Got Talent", which means that "The Got Talent" must be very good, otherwise David would not be a judge!"
....
The viewers watching TV showed great expectations for David as a judge.
As for Pierce Morgan and Sharon Ospoon?
hehe!
The vast majority of viewers said they didn’t know each other at all!
The two of them were already crying and fainted in the toilet!
Well, in fact, it’s not the truth that the audience doesn’t know them. Apart from two specific circles of media and agents, how could ordinary audiences know them?
As the TV screen changed, the next one was Will Smith, the most famous among the black people.
boom!!!
"Will! It's Will!"
A black guy watching TV jumped up excitedly: "It turned out to be my favorite Will as the host, which is simply amazing!"
There is no doubt that the entire American black group was immediately excited.
Of course, Will himself is also one of the few black people among other Asian and white groups in the United States who do not make them bored and hate.
This shows the popularity of Will's popularity in the box office of the movies in which he has been starring in recent years.
Even though he is not the most famous Hollywood superstar of this era, he is also one of the world-renowned existences.
The influence is huge!
Especially in the future, "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door", this inspirational brainwashing film has been listed as a must-see video by countless pyramid scheme organizations, and the first step in brainwashing. Many brainwashed people even regard Will as spiritual idols.
This time, UPN's promotional video took another shot, which directly made the popularity of "America's Got Talent" a step further.
Three days later.
The registration session for "Good Talent" is officially closed.
All registration channels will be officially closed this year.
"Boss, so far, our "Good Talent" program team has received a total of 12,360 people from all over the United States," Ms. Donna said in a deep voice.
While the number of people who signed up for the program was so popular, UPN TV also felt huge pressure.
Too many people sign up!
Zhu Ke pondered: "UPN TV's manpower is indeed a bit insufficient. Well, so I'll call Victor later and ask him to mobilize the group's manpower to fully cooperate with the qualifiers of UPN TV's "Good Talent" and make sure to complete the qualifiers before the end of April."
With a command, the preliminaries began and were staged in various parts of the United States.
Chapter completed!
