Today's first update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Simon Cowell was just trying to test Evan Bell. Even if he really wanted to bring the "X Factor" to the United States, it would still be a matter of next summer vacation and a whole year of planning. So, today he just happened to see the opportunity to explore Evan Bell's tone. It is a pity that Evan Bell did not mean to bring "X Factor" to the United States to stimulate "American Idol".

Although Simon Cowell was a little disappointed, he didn't say anything. Soon, Randy Jackson was back from the bathroom, and the lounge was buzzing again.

Evan Bell was thinking: why did Simon Cowell choose this timing? Could it be that several other TV stations intend to introduce the "X Factor" and are discussing cooperation with Simon Cowell. If they can dig Simon Cowell into the "X Factor" judge seat, they will go to Evan Bell to discuss the introduction of copyright. The first is to have a greater grasp, and the second is to have more chips.

But for a while, Evan Bell couldn't think of a reason, because he was clueless now, and he was only tried a couple of sentences by Simon Cowell, and he didn't know where to think. Evan Bell temporarily put this idea aside.

Nigel Lessig pushed the door open and walked in with a smile, hugging everyone one by one, "It's hard work, the audition stage is over, and then we will wait until December to enter Hollywood Week." Although during the broadcast, Seattle was the first stop, but in fact, the last stop in the process. After the audition is over, the players have two months to adjust, and then enter Hollywood to start a harsh knockout. After the finalists are selected, these players will enter a professional training camp, and they will be trained professionally in all aspects. They have been waiting for the arrival of the live broadcast episode. It will only take more than two months before and after, and the schedule is very urgent.

"Evan, I'm really grateful today." Nigel Lessig said to Evan Bell with a smile on his face. Although Fremantle Media, which Nigel Lessig belongs to, and Evan Bell did not have a good time when they introduced "American Idol", the cooperation between the two parties has been very good since then. Happily, Nigel Lessig and Evan Bell are still familiar. "How about it? After entering the live broadcast week, is there any plan to come and participate in the performance? You should be promoting your new album by then. 'American Idol' is a very good stage."

Nigel Lessig is really an excellent producer, and he started inviting Evan Bell early. But Evan Bell just laughed, "Besides, I don't know if I have time next year." This is true, but hearing Nigel Lessig's ears is a polite refusal.

Nigel Lessig didn't care too much. Evan Bell is this personality. He has long known that, "Have dinner together?" The audition is finally over, and the entire production team of "American Idol" will hold a small The buffet reception is a celebration and relaxation. Nigel Lessig extended an invitation to Evan Bell.

"Oh, no, I have another appointment." Evan Bell said directly, which is still true. It's a pity that Nigel Lessig still doesn't believe it, but he doesn't plan to break it either.

Nigel Rice said with a smile, "The movie has just finished, and you really should have a good rest." It's not a secret in the industry that Rebecca Finn ate a soft nail from Evan Bell in Atlanta. . Nigel Lessig clearly meant something.

Ryan Seacrest made a special trip in to chat with Evan Bell for a while before he got up with his three fellow judges, and Nigel Lessig also retreated with the staff. Evan Bell and Teddy Bell were not in such a hurry. The two chatted in the lounge for a while on a date, but it didn't take long for Nigel Lessig to return.

"What, something fell?" Evan Bell said casually with a smile.

Nigel Lessig nodded, "Yes, there are some things I want to discuss with you.

"Evan Bell looked at Teddy Bell calmly. Just now, Simon Cowell mentioned something Evan Bell said immediately, and the two brothers immediately realized that Simon Cowell would suddenly mention "X Factor" ", maybe it was because of his unpleasantness with "American Idol" and the fact that some people poached the wall, so Simon Cowell thought of starting his own business.

Nigel Lessig sat down directly on the chair opposite Evan Bell and looked at the two Bell brothers, "Evan, this is the case, have you ever thought about bringing the 'X Factor' to the American market? "Sure enough, Nigel Lessig also brought up this topic, he looked at the two Bell brothers, neither of them said a word, they just looked like they were listening, and Nigel Lessig continued.

"As you know, the United States has nearly 300 million people, which is a huge market, of which 66 percent of the population is 15 years old and above and 65 years old and below, all of which can become talent shows. Object, 'American Idol' only called for less than 500,000 players to participate in the competition last year, and these are all under the age of 30. There is still a huge market in the United States waiting for us to tap. If we bring 'Su' over, it will surely open up a new market."

The biggest difference between "X Factor" and "American Idol" is actually the age limit. "X Factor" allows players of any age over the age of 15 to participate, which includes that "American Idol" cannot radiate to the age group over 30 years old , In addition, the "X factor" allows the team to participate, which also makes up for the inadequacy of being an individual, and decides the outcome by team strength. Therefore, Nigel Lessig's words are very accurate. However, these things, as the founder of the show, Evan Bell obviously understands in more detail, and does not need Nigel Lessig to remind at all.

Evan Bell saw that Nigel Lessig had finished speaking, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Nigel, why? Why do you suddenly remember to introduce the 'X Factor' into the American market? You just started the 'Dance' last year. Lin Zhengba ()'s talent journey? Do you have the energy to start a new singing talent show?"

"Dancing Forest Hegemony" is actually the dance version of "American Idol", allowing everyone who dreams of dancing to have a successful stage.

Last year, Fox bought the production rights from Evan Bell for $20 million, and Nigel Lessig remains the show's executive producer and judge. In September last year, the first season of "Dancing for Hegemony" was launched, and it received a good response. The second season was launched in May this year, and the response was very enthusiastic. It just came to an end last month. In order not to fight against "American Idol", "Dancing Forest Hegemony" was broadcast in the summer season, which started in May and ended in August.

The outstanding performance of the American version of "Dancing Forest Hegemony" has aroused the interest of the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and other places. If they want to introduce "Dancing Forest Hegemony", Evan Bell is absolutely happy.

Hearing Evan Bell's words, Nigel Lesig rolled his eyes, and at a glance, he knew that he wanted to use the scene to prevaricate Evan Bell, but Evan Bell was not that stupid, and he then asked, "Come here. Asking about the 'X Factor', is it for Fremantle Media, or for Fox?" This question not only gets to the heart of the question, but also drowns out Nigel Lessig's politeness. go down.

In fact, things are not complicated. Whether it is Simon Cowell or Nigel Lessig, they want to introduce the "X factor" into the United States, which is nothing more than a conflict of interests. Then everyone wants to get a share of the benefits, who is involved in it? This is the core of the problem.

Nigel Lessig smiled and said, with some guilt, "What's the difference? It's all the same to me. Fremantle Media and Fox have always worked well together, and our relationship Isn't it a pleasure to work together?" "Dancing Forest" was also produced by Fremantle Media, and Eleven Studio did not intervene, so Fremantle Media, Fox TV, and Eleven Studio It's been a pleasure working together.

Evan Bell saw that Nigel Lessig was reluctant to show his cards, and he had no interest in going around here. He smiled and said, "Indeed, our cooperation is indeed very pleasant. Then I think, in the future, Fox TV hopes to introduce I absolutely agree with the 'X factor'. I'm expecting Fox to come and talk to me about the specific cooperation."

As soon as Evan Bell's seemingly random words came out, Nigel Lesig pursed his lips slightly, obviously very unwilling, Evan Bell's sharpness and intelligence made him very unhappy, "It's like this. Actually. Fox has no plans to cause the 'X Factor' for now It's just that we at Fremantle Media believe that now is a good time to bring the 'X Factor' to America."

Sure enough. Nigel Lessig is finally telling the truth.

According to the simple guesses made by the two Bell brothers just now, in fact, this should involve the competition of the other three TV stations, and Fox TV itself should not be involved. The ratings of "American Idol" are getting better year by year. Although there are some crises at present, under Nigel Lessig's skillful handling, it is obviously not a worrying situation. This talent show is bound to be OK. Continue to prosper. Therefore, Fox TV naturally does not want to attract a draft competitor to divert its ratings. Among the four major TV stations, Fox TV should be the one with the least interest in the "X Factor".

When the "American Idol" copyright deal was concluded, Fox TV stationed Evan Bell's words. At that time, Evan Bell said that "there is no plan to introduce the 'X factor' for at least five years", and now it is only the first time. Only five years. So, it should not be Fox TV.

Since it's not Fox TV, Simon Cowell and Nigel Lessig's probing is obviously a **** of a competitor. Obviously, the undercurrent that continued throughout the summer vacation had not calmed down at this time.
