Since this episode of "The Ellen Show" was aired, the popularity has quickly soared to a high level. I'm not sure whether the ratings broke the record, but it is definitely very high.
The reason why it has attracted so much attention is not only because of the traffic bonus of "Frozen" which is currently in theaters, but Eric's contribution cannot be ignored.
His whistle and prelude were extremely catchy, and people who watched the show said they couldn't forget it, they really couldn't forget it.
It's like a spell that repeats itself endlessly in my brain.
"I declare that Eric Cooper is absolutely a musical cancer. Now all I can hear in my head is either "let it go" or this whistle. It's driving me crazy!"
"Are you sure you are a musical cancer? Why do I think it is more appropriate to call you a genius?"
"Do you believe it? This is Eric Cooper's improvisation. Anyway, after seeing his totally nonsensical rap in the middle, I believe it."
"That rap is like shit, but his intro tastes like ice cream, so the mixture is shit-flavored ice cream. As long as the temperature is low enough, you can eat it as ice cream."
"Why do I feel that the only few lyrics he sang clearly are very obscene? I always feel like he just used some private flirting lines."
"I hate Eric Cooper so much. I just sang this intro to my mom and got spanked. She asked me where I learned this shit from. Ugh."
"Little brother, you are too bold. "Girl, I will teach you how to play the flute." Can you sing this kind of words to your mother? If I were your father, I would break your dog legs!"
The rising popularity has attracted many music fans on YouTube to join in. They write their own lyrics, replace the nonsensical rap in the middle, and re-arrange the music to gain traffic.
Eric also readily authorized anyone to use the whistle. He is so generous.
Then something interesting happened. After a week of fermentation, the whistle song unexpectedly climbed onto the B-list hip-pop chart.
With the 10th place ranking, it pushed down the title song of Eminem's new album. I wonder if anyone will be so angry that they can't sleep at night.
Some people laughed at Eminem, saying that he had a bad year and had met his nemesis.
Starting from last year, first the new album was pulled from the shelves due to the actions of Eric and Michael. Then after a year of holding back on releasing another album, it was hit again by a joke sung by someone else.
He participated in "American Idol" in the hope of gaining popularity, but the show is now so obscure that even dogs can't stand watching it.
Bad luck seemed to be always haunting him, as if there was a devil standing above his head and laughing wildly.
This week, "Jason Bourne" earned a total of 58 million US dollars in box office, ranking second in the weekly box office.
In third place is the already crushed "National Treasure", which took in $24 million in one week and a total of $88 million in North America.
BOX lowered its box office forecast from $180 million in North America and $400 million worldwide to $110 million in North America and $250 million worldwide.
Compared with the production cost of 100 million US dollars and the publicity cost of no less than 25 million, there is definitely not much profit at the box office.
Having only the means to rely on subsequent copyrights, Disney's idea of making a fortune from "National Treasure" is doomed to fail. It is estimated that the combined losses from box office and copyrights exceed $130 million.
In contrast, the box office of "Frozen" this week only fell by 31%, earning $102 million in North America and $240 million worldwide. The total box office reached $259 million in North America and $610 million worldwide.
Even if you add "Jason Bourne" and "National Treasure" together, it's still not enough. Even if you add all the other movies in the same period together, it's still not enough. The big screen is full of grief.
The reason why the decline is so small is that new forces came in this week.
I don’t know if Eric’s words on the Ellen Show had an effect, but “Let It Go” is now showing signs of becoming an anthem in the gay community.
Embracing ourselves and releasing ourselves, isn’t that what we are looking for?
So they or they went into the cinema together.
According to a survey conducted by MGM's marketing department, the number of adults watching movies in groups increased significantly this week, second only to the family model centered on children.
With its terrifying explosive power and lasting resilience, there is no doubt that "Frozen" has demonstrated its dominance throughout June and even the early July.
BOX did not dare to jump to conclusion and only gave an approximate box office forecast, between 370 million and 450 million in North America and between 1.07 billion and 1.15 billion worldwide.
The highest data is the same as that of "The Lord of the Rings 3". If "Frozen" can reach or even exceed it, Princess Elsa will jump to the second place in the global box office rankings, and the only thing left is the big ship.
It is June 25th, and the third week of the box office battle is about to begin.
This week's competition with "Frozen" is Fox's "I, Robot", also known as "I, Robot".
No one knows the screenwriter and director, but the male lead is Will Smith, the man known as the Emperor.
Although the Smith family was later exposed to various scandals, such as the couple having separate affairs, the son introducing his mother to a boyfriend, and the son undergoing sex reassignment surgery.
There is also a close friend who has served Will Smith for many years who revealed that the reason for his marital discord is that the man is too useless.
Once you have tried the large size, you will never be satisfied with the small size. Stirring the water tank with a toothpick certainly won't satisfy you. O'Neal is one of them.
But even though scandals continue, everyone has to admit that Will Smith has been an absolute box office bomb and box office panacea since he entered the film and television industry.
In addition, "Frozen" is about to enter its third week, and the momentum will definitely slow down, so the Big Six still has great confidence in their attack on Fox this time.
But what no one expected was that just before the war was about to start, Fox suddenly announced the withdrawal of the film.
I don’t know how they reached an agreement with the theaters, but "I, Robot" has gone on like this, and it’s unknown when it will be released again.
This operation not only confused the fans and the actors, but even the six major people themselves felt the pain of being stabbed in the back.
Rumor has it that Disney and Universal are furious, and we're the first to be hit and have to bear the consequences with such huge losses.
Now that the enemy's momentum has weakened, it is a good time to counterattack. If you tell me that you are retreating and abandoning your friendly forces, I will fuck you!
Do you think I'd spend hundreds of millions to play games with you?
FUCK!
But it was no use getting angry or anxious because the matter was done and could not be changed.
In other words, in the next week, the film market will become a slaughterhouse for "Frozen".
There's no need to watch those low-budget movies, they're all small fry and not worth worrying about.
The only one that poses a bit of a threat is "Jason Bourne", but what can Jason Bourne do?
"My dear, you look very happy tonight, tonight."
Ashley frowned tightly, feeling like she was flying in the sky, with nitrogen accelerating behind her and her good sister Mary Olsen helping to add fuel to the fire.
"Happy, of course I'm happy. If nothing unexpected happens, Forks will be in chaos."
"Why? Thomas Rossman is also addicted to the red sofa?"
"No, someone is willing to give him trouble."
"You mean, the sudden withdrawal of "I, Robot" was actually your effort?"
"Not entirely, but it's one of the reasons. Anyway, just wait and see. No, it's coming!"
Hearing this, Mary hurriedly came over and lay down, performing a demon-slaying kicking pose: "Come in, come in!"
"Hmm? Who of you wants it?"
"Half for each."
"Why the hell is this half for each?"
"You broke it!"
"Drink. It's late!"
"Get out of the way!"
Mary pushed Eric away and lay down with her head lowered.
While Frozen was killing it on the big screen, Lionheart was also getting better and better.
Last week, the website launched the new drama "American Horror Story", and the variety shows "Sword Forging Competition" and "Ninja Warrior Challenge".
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
All three programs received rave reviews. American Horror Story received an 8 on IMDb, and the general audience rating was that it was novel, interesting, and suspenseful.
"Sword Forging Competition" scored 8.3 points. Although it is not the top among variety shows, it is also considered outstanding.
The reason why the score is not very high is probably because the audience is almost entirely male. Backend data shows that male accounts account for as much as 89%.
Compared with other variety shows, this data can no longer be described as exaggerated, it is simply distorted.
But deformity also has its advantages, that is, it can cultivate a group of die-hard fans. As long as the "Sword Forging Competition" lasts one day, they will contribute membership to Lionheart Network for one day.
"Ninja Warrior Challenge" scored much better, with a high score of 9.7.
The $1 million reward is hanging there, waiting for someone to take it.
Of course, the highest-rated and most popular variety show on Lionheart.com is still "The Voice of America".
More than 20 million member accounts will choose to watch the last episode on the day it is released, but these 20 million member accounts do not represent 20 million viewers.
An account is equivalent to a TV. Are you the only one who watches the TV at home?
Of course not, it is very likely that the family will watch it together.
In other words, this number will definitely be far more than 20 million, and may even double or even more.
No one knows exactly how many people there are. Nielsen is unable to count online programs, and Lionheart.com itself doesn’t know.
The ones who have the most say in this matter are actually the major advertisers. They have wanted to advertise on "The Voice of China" since it was launched, but have never found a way.
Now that the final is very close, Eric and Michael have discussed and decided to choose the venue at the Houston National Stadium, which is also the stadium hosting the Super Bowl this year.
The purpose of choosing this place is self-evident. We want to compete with the Super Bowl and break the ceiling of variety shows.
The bolder the people, the more productive the land! The Ruilant Stadium covers a huge area and can accommodate more than 70,000 spectators. Ticket sales started a month ago.
At that time, the lowest ticket price was $1,000 per ticket, mid-range was $1,299, high-end was $1,599, and special seats were $1,999 per ticket.
However, only 30,000 tickets were sold to the public. If you can grab one, you can get it. If you can’t, it’s your own fault.
Don't think it's expensive. Take a look at my configuration. If you buy the ticket, you can watch the performances of Michael, Celine Dion, Jenny and Jayz at the same time.
There will also be a lot of celebrities coming to support. This kind of opportunity may only come once in a lifetime, so you will make a profit if you buy it.
In addition, the lowest price for this year's Super Bowl ticket is $2,000, and the core area ticket price is as high as $5,500, which is really expensive.
Of course, compared to Super Bowl tickets ten years later, $5,500 is nothing!
At that time, the average price was around 7,000 to 8,000 US dollars, and the highest price for a ticket in the core area could exceed 40,000 US dollars. Who could I turn to for justice?
However, as the "Voice of China" competition continues and its popularity continues to rise, ticket prices are also rising. The 30,000 tickets released for the second round have increased in price by at least 30%.
The semi-finals were broadcast today. Once the top four are announced, the last 10,000 tickets will be released, and the price will be based on the Super Bowl standard.
And there is no need to worry about not being able to sell out, because the tickets for the first two rounds have long been sold out, and the highest price in the secondary market has soared by nearly double. Those who didn't grab the tickets at that time are regretting it to death.
The revenue from ticket sales alone exceeded $100 million. Excluding the commission, it brought more than $70 million in revenue to Art Records.
The fact that tickets are selling so well reflects the popularity of "The Voice of China". When these data fall into the hands of advertisers, they become the basis for their judgment.
The average price for this year's Super Bowl ad was $2.3 million, and that for "Friends" was $2.1 million, which are the ceilings for variety shows and TV dramas respectively.
Meiyi was not greedy. After dragging the advertiser for so long, it finally gave a reserve price of US$1.6 million with no upper limit.
These can be divided into various methods such as billboards, products, brand logos, sponsorships, etc. The more money you spend, the better the effect.
At this moment in the office of Meiyi Records, Eric and Michael met and negotiated with advertisers one by one.
"Eric, $3.5 million. Pepsi wants to monopolize the naming rights. This is the highest price I can offer."
"And our company requires that the name of Pepsi-Cola must appear no less than seven times during the show. If you think about it, this is a pretty good deal."
After taking a look at Michael, an idea flashed through Eric's mind.
"Here's what, Randy. I have a suggestion. You guys don't even need to ask for the naming rights. Pepsi will offer you $5 million. Michael will only drink Pepsi throughout the game and guarantee to finish at least one bottle. How do you think that works?"
Hearing this, the other party widened his eyes excitedly: "Is it possible?"
Everyone knows that Maiko shot a very successful advertisement for Coca-Cola. Now it’s his turn, isn’t it equivalent to NTR?
Michael's eyes went dark: "No, no, what's your idea? What if I can't hold it in and have to go to the toilet?"
"What are you afraid of? Drink some water before you go on stage. And we don't drink from large bottles. How many milliliters are in your small bottles?"
"We have several sizes. I recommend the 250ml or 300ml size."
"Then add another $1 million to Pepsi, and we'll drink 300 ml of it, with plenty of close-up shots."
"make a deal!"
The other party agreed without thinking, and Eric sent him out with a smile on his face, leaving Michael Dunk lying on the spot.
