"Shan! Don't run, you haven't executed Evan's punishment yet." The group of voices behind were like hounds, biting Sean-Mayer tightly.

Sean-Mayer turned his head and shouted, "Wait a minute, I'll go after Evan and I have finished talking, and I'll still fail to pay." He turned his head with a smile on his face.

"That's for sure." Everyone cheered afterward.

Sean Mayer waved his hand, looked at Evan Bell with a smile, followed behind him, and walked up to the second floor together. Evan "Bell can't laugh or cry." He didn't expect Sean Mayer to come to New York, and he asked the idiot's question just now, "Why did you come here? Is Los Angeles okay recently?"

"It's not because of the screenwriter's strike, and the agency is almost nothing." Sean-Mayer is telling the truth. Because of the screenwriter's strike, almost all agencies have fallen into a job shortage. TV, Movies have been suspended one after another, and the lively awards season has become extremely deserted, so it is rare for the eleventh agent to enter the holiday. Fortunately, the Eleven Brokerage Company is not a big company, and it has always been self-sufficient, so it has not been greatly affected.

The two of them walked all the way up to the third floor, and Sean Mayer's sound of watching the excitement had already fallen behind him, and then he asked, "Evan, I'm serious, you really don't participate in this year's Super Bowl. Halftime show?"

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League in the United States. The winner is called the "World Champion." The proper term for "Sunday", and Super Bowl Sunday is the second-highest single-day video consumption day in the United States, after Thanksgiving, which shows the status of the Super Bowl in the United States. It also earned the Super Bowl a "American Spring Festival Gala" title.

The Super Bowl is the unshakable viewing hegemon in the United States and has unparalleled influence in the world. It can attract more than 100 million viewers every year, and it attracts more TV viewers than Major League Baseball plus the finals combined. Three times as much, and the 2005 World Cup football final had 17 million television viewers in the United States, less than a fraction of the Super Bowl.

If it is converted into audience rating calculation, it is more than forty points (40.0). Imagine that the ratings for the finale of "Friends" became the highest-rated series in the history of American dramas, attracting 52.5 million viewers, which is only less than half of the Super Bowl. It is enough to exclaim that TV drama ratings can break through 5.0. Above 3.0 is a popular drama, while the Super Bowl is above 40.0. Converting this data into a percentage means that more than 40% of the audience in the United States is watching the Super Bowl!

The commercial value of the birth of the Super Bowl, according to Forbes, is estimated to be $420 million, while the Olympic Games is estimated to be worth $230 million, and the World Cup is $120 million. The latter two cannot be added together. On a par with the Super Bowl. Without a doubt, this is the most expensive sporting event in the world. A ticket to the Super Bowl is $700, and you can get $7,000 on the black market. And the city that hosts the Super Bowl can have a direct economic benefit of 300 million US dollars in just one Sunday, which is not comparable to the Olympics and World Cups with long schedules.

Another set of data, in 2004, 130 million Americans watched the Super Bowl, but only 120 million people participated in the presidential election. So, it's no surprise that the Super Bowl has become "unofficial US National Day..." The influence of the Super Bowl is so great that the Vancouver Winter Olympics had to change the date of the opening ceremony for this reason. .

There is no doubt that anyone who can step on the stage of the Super Bowl, whether it is an ordinary person, an athlete, or an entertainer, will become the focus of attention in the United States.

In the schedule of the Super Bowl, the halftime performance is a stage not to be missed. In 199%, the superstar Michael Jackson appeared on the stage of the Super Bowl halftime show, attracting 130 million viewers, a record that no one has ever broken. Although the intermission time is a time for most audiences to go to the toilet, rest and relax, which is also the decisive factor for the slight decline in the ratings of the halftime show, but since the introduction of the concept of the halftime show, this has also The title of "American Spring Festival Gala" has been fully implemented. The halftime performance is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the year.

In addition, after the Super Bowl ratings above 40:00, the dramas scheduled to be broadcast every year after the Super Bowl are also known as "Super Bowl dramas". This driving ability is absolutely unparalleled. In 199%, the TV station's "Friends" became a lucky episode and was scheduled to be broadcast after the Super Bowl. ratings; and the lucky winner in 2005 was the TV station's "Doctor Grey's Intern", which achieved a rating of 21.0, ranking third in the "Super Bowl Drama" list. , after "Friends" and "Survivor" in 2001. Last year's lucky episode, "Criminal Minds," which was scheduled to air after the Super Bowl, didn't have the 15.17 ratings of the previous episodes, but it was still quite appalling.

In short, anything that can be associated with the Super Bowl is instantly hot. This year's Super Bowl broadcast rights are rotated to Fox TV. The Super Bowl broadcast is on a rotating basis, and the series that got the lucky seat of the "Super Bowl Drama" is not the "Prison Break" that was remarried not long ago, but the ratings performance. With the increasingly outstanding "Doctor House", it can be predicted that "Doctor House" is bound to usher in an outbreak of chalk.

The Super Bowl halftime performance that Sean Mayer mentioned twice just now is such a top-notch existence. It is undoubtedly the dream of any singer to be able to appear on this stage, not only because of the high attention. Because this is an honor, all singers who develop in the United States hope to land in this hall! From Old to Paul McCartney, from the Rolling Stones to Justin Timberlake.

In this way, Justin Timberlake ripped off Janet Jackson's bra at the Super Bowl performance in 2000, revealing a little bit of red, no wonder it caused an uproar, and even directly led to the complete farewell of sports live broadcast in the United States" In the era of "live broadcast", all sports broadcasts must be delayed by a few seconds to cope with any unexpected situations.

Last year, in fact, when the Super Bowl was broadcast on CBS, the halftime guests considered Evan Bell. At that time, Evan Bell just released the album "Four", and the song "Long Live (da is an absolute classic. However, because the residual influence of "Brokeback Mountain" is too strong, and such an important stage of the Super Bowl will magnify any influence endlessly, so after comprehensive consideration, CBS TV still chose Prince (e), reluctantly Abandoned Evan Bell.

This year, it was Fox's turn to broadcast the Super Bowl. In September, when choosing halftime performers, Fox TV first thought of Evan Bell and sent out an invitation.

Although Evan Bell didn't have much music in 2007, and it's not yet known when a new album will be released in 2008, in September everyone can see a statistic for the albums ending in September 2007 The sales champion is actually "four." This is really a dizzying result. What's more exaggerated is that in the statistics in September, all the top eight albums in sales were released in 2005, ranking ninth. It is the latest album released in 2007, "High School Musical 2" soundtrack, followed by Jay-Z's new album Linkin Park released at the beginning of the year, which failed to make the top ten, only hanging at the eleventh place.

This list has really made countless people fall through their glasses. It can be seen that the entire music market in 2007 is in a state of flux. It is not that the market is not strong, and the sales volume is still very good. It is just that the newly released albums in 2007 are not unified. Momentum, this really makes people laugh and cry.

Therefore, Fox TV naturally thinks of Evan-Bell, and it is also Evan-Bell who has a close cooperation. Even if the "prison break" remarriage just ended in September, it does not affect the cooperation between the two parties.

However, after Fox TV extended an invitation to Evan Bell, who was on the "Batman Prequel Dark Knight..." crew at the time, it was actually rejected!

In fact, it's not that Evan Bell disdains attending the Super Bowl. Being able to stand on the stage of the Super Bowl is still something to look forward to. Although Evan Bell has an unruly personality, he also hopes that he can stand on the stage of the Super Bowl. , to feel the thrill of challenging such a super stage. But the problem is that Fox TV actually put forward a request for lip-synching This really broke Evan Bell's bottom line and made him very confused.

In fact, standing on such a giant stage as the Super Bowl, it is very difficult to make mistakes, so there are many singers who choose to lip-synch. In the past ten years, at least more than six performances have chosen counterparts It is an open secret in the circle that even Michael Jackson was not spared. After all, no one wants to be in a "super-large concert" with more than 100 million people. "Funny on stage.

But this is an unimaginable thing for Evan Bell. In Evan Bell's concept, the accident itself is a part of the stage. If a singer is worried that his live singing will go wrong, then he will practice more and more, if he still has no confidence, then don't stand so big on the stage. If you are afraid of failing the challenge, why go up and cheat?

Therefore, Evan Bell refused without hesitation.

At that time, Fox TV was trying to mend the rift between the two sides caused by "prison break", but after Evan Bell's rejection, Fox TV really exploded, "Which green onion are you? This is the Super Bowl, not just anything. Invitation!" So the two sides parted ways.

But today, why did Sean Mayer bring it up again? Hasn't this matter been finalized in Eleven Studio?
