Chapter 902: 902

Jay gave Hugo a big hug and whispered in Hugo's ear, "Thank you for coming, and good luck with your performance tonight!"

Jie knows very well that there are no one hundred or eighty TV shows that Hugo is eager to attend today, and Hugo is willing to give "The Tonight Show" a face, which is definitely a great honor. What's more, this is still Chicago, where many talk shows are based, including "The Oprah Talk Show". "The Tonight Show" can be described as pulling teeth, breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, and the recording of this episode is even more profound. .

Hugo was not polite either. He patted Jie on the back and said with a smile, "The next time you want to participate in the tour, remember to say it in advance, and I will tell you the ticket sales time." Hugo did not say that the tickets were given away, but It was to let Jie buy the tickets himself, and this sentence immediately made Jie laugh out loud.

Originally, Jie thought that today's program time was enough, but in fact, the interview time was too short. Jie did not discuss Hugo's last moments of creation, nor did he mention Mr. Rabbit's feelings again; Jie did not ask about the next plan of Glory to Death, Nor did he tease two interesting anecdotes during the tour, not even the time when the female fans who have been buzzing recently did not say the last sentence; Jay did not mention the scandal between Hugo and Sandra, nor did he mention the anecdote of the filming process. ...

However, "The Tonight Show" is not "Oprah's Talk Show", and digging the story behind it is not what Jay is good at. It is estimated that it is one of the important reasons why Hugo is willing to choose "The Tonight Show". Now countless pairs of eyes are locked In Hugo, I want to dissect and analyze Hugo, but obviously Hugo is not keen on this.

Therefore, this issue of "Tonight Show" has already yielded a lot.

Although the program team kept the audience in the lecture hall so that Hugo could leave smoothly, the fact is that the crowd outside the lecture hall did not disperse for a long time. When Hugo left, there were still more than 6,000 people in the University of Chicago. On the other hand, the bustling scene opened the eyes of the reporters on the scene.

As Hugo put it, it's like the Soldiers' Stadium where the World Cup is about to kick off. The enthusiasm and concentration of the audience seems to be like the loyal fans who have recharged their energy for the four-year football feast, and released all their enthusiasm at the moment when the World Cup is about to kick off.

If anyone is willing to look down from the sky, they can see that the University of Chicago is like a turbulent heat wave moving slowly from the south side of the school gate, rushing towards the gate like a torrent, and finally in front of the school gate with a volcanic eruption. The rendering became a magnificent red, and the flaming clouds in the sky became the most spectacular and magnificent embellishment this afternoon. As night fell, this feast was brought to an end.

"The Tonight Show" was officially broadcast three days later. There is no doubt that this show has attracted the attention of countless audiences, because in the past three days, the reports of reporters have been seen in major newspapers and magazines. Countless times, although the reporters did not reveal spoilers, their descriptions of the atmosphere of the scene, the outline of the jokes on the scene, and the description of Hugo himself have attracted a lot of attention.

"The Tonight Show" on NBC's biggest rival every night is CBS' "Late. Night. With. David. Letterman". The origin of these two shows actually came from the "Tonight Show" battle. David Letterman thought he would take over "The Tonight Show" after Johnny Carson left, but he didn't expect NBC to finally choose Jay - Reno, in order to fight Jay to the end, David defected to CBS and opened a new talk show in the same file, "The Late Late Show with David Letterman".

The two sworn enemies are tit for tat, coupled with ABC's new late-night talk show "Politically. Incorrect", so Monday to Friday from 11:35 to 12:35 pm The talk show competition has officially entered a white-hot competition.

In the past two years, the three have always had each other's victories.

However, tonight's ratings competition seems to be showing a downward trend, "The Late Late Show with David Letterman" only attracted 3.8 million viewers, while "Politically Incorrect" was slightly better, 390 100,000, but it is still difficult, especially compared with the results of "Tonight Show".

"The Tonight Show" attracted a total of 7.83 million viewers that night, of which the viewership rate of 18 to 49-year-olds reached 3.1. This data both created Johnny Carson's 1992 May The highest score since leaving "The Tonight Show" on the 22nd!

The show that Johnny Carson, the king of a generation of talk shows, left "The Tonight Show" attracted 50 million viewers. This data is probably the peak that will never be surpassed. Because this is a late-night show, the show starts after 11:30 every night. If the average audience of the show reaches 5 million, it is a huge success, and if the average audience rate exceeds 1.8, it is the absolute weekly champion. In this comparison, you can see the power of Johnny Carson at the beginning.

But again, "The Tonight Show"'s Hugo-Lancaster special set a record, not only handily beating the two rivals, but the seven million-level viewership was the best of any late-night talk show since 1992 , not to mention the audience rating as high as 3.1 - after 11:30 in the middle of the night, most of the audience between the ages of 18 and 49 have already entered a state of sleep, and it is more difficult to create good results.

During the broadcast, the highest peak actually came from the moment when Hugo imitated Oprah Winfrey, which attracted 8.13 million viewers. As Hugo and Jay expected, "Oprah" became the biggest gain after the show was broadcast, but instead created a strong advertising effect. In the next issue of "Oprah Talk Show", the talk show The queen also teased about it - she and Jay have a very good relationship too.

In addition, the "Tonight Show" program process is also full of countless highlights and grooves. The most touching moment is no different from the creation of "Long. Long. Way. To. Go". This time, there is no People are raising doubts, not only because the glory to death in the past year has confirmed Hugo's talent, not only because there are countless audiences and reporters on the scene who really witnessed the birth of this moment, but also because of the "Matthew effect"!

Before that, the Matthew effect also existed: when people saw Hugo taking on any work, their first reaction was to ask questions, starting from "smell the scent and know a woman" until "life and death", because Hugo had a lot of previous records, because The follow-up effect of the Golden Raspberry Award is obvious.

But now, Hugo's time and again success has apparently turned journalists' minds around, and now that the Matthew effect is also at work, it's turned into a subconscious compliment.

The song "The Long Road" immediately attracted a lot of attention after the show aired. This metal rock song on acoustic guitar has a unique charm, far beyond the follow-up effect created by the original "Sunburn (Sunburn)" , immediately detonated the discussion of all media, all music critics, and all audiences, and its popularity was close to the "Road to Glory" tour.

At the scene of the Miami concert, three hundred fans even organized to sing a "Long Road" on the spot, which surprised the members of Glory to the Dead and became one of the biggest highlights of the night.

It can be said that "The Tonight Show" made history with the help of the movie power of "Life and Death" and the popularity of the tour of "Road to Glory". It can also be mentioned in the radio talk, and the replay of the show itself also attracted 3.91 million viewers, which is really surprising.

It can be seen from this small detail that from "Schindler's List" to "Pulp Fiction" to "Speed ​​of Life", the incredible success of one masterpiece after another has undergone a qualitative change. Hugo has already The true growth of a top actor is another step on the road to becoming a superstar, and after the release of the Palme d'Or winning "Pulp Fiction", what height will this craze reach? Many can't wait to find out.

However, the release of "Pulp Fiction" seems to be a while away, but "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is still being released. This work that set off a box-office frenzy two weeks before its release is undoubtedly the real hot spot. .

The opening weekend easily defeated two comedy films, and in the second week of its release, it again strongly beat three films with a weekend box office of 10 million. "Life and Death" will face the test of another comedy film, which is also the fourth comedy work that has faced off since the film was released. I have to say that this is really a fate that makes people laugh and cry, and obviously, "Life and Death" can be regarded as a comedy killer at present!

"Getting. Even. With. Dad", a movie starring Macaulay-Culkin, released by Universal Pictures, Macaulay became popular after relying on "Home Alone" to become famous , known as the greatest child star after Shirley Temple. This "Little Ghost Moves" was produced by MGM Pictures and distributed by Universal Pictures. Although it has received a lot of attention, it is generally regarded by the media as the weakest challenge since the release of "Life and Death".

However, immediately after "Little Ghost Moves" is the most watched work "The Lion King" this summer. It is foreseeable that the severe test of "speed of life and death" is coming. This is also the final result of the "New York Post". A lifesaver. What kind of achievements can the biggest dark horse in the summer of 1994 finally achieve, and whether it can break the box office record of "Terminator 2", maybe the performance of the box office decline in the next two weeks can be determined.

The answer will be revealed soon!
