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

The current situation of Fox TV is indeed not good. In fact, in the 2009 ratings and viewership statistics, Fox TV still occupies the first place in the ratings list, but the advantage has been drastically reduced, and CBS TV is chasing after. Reluctant to give up; and the statistics of the number of viewers is still dominated by CBS TV, although Fox TV is in second place, but the gap has been infinitely widened.

Strictly speaking, Fox TV's performance is actually quite good, but big companies don't look at problems on the surface, they have to look deeply. In addition to the recent poor situation of the parent company News Corporation, which has seriously affected the program plan of Fox TV's new season, now Fox TV's ratings ace "American Idol" has suffered a violent impact from "X Factor" and "Voice of America", and its advantages have been It's gone; in addition, Fox's town and Taiwan drama is "Doctor House" - "Doctor House" from Studio Eleven, and then "Glee", which was newly launched in May this year, once it is broadcast It has achieved exceptionally good results, which has also become a life-saving straw for Fox TV.

"Glee" was produced by Ryan Murphy, an Emmy-winning producer who relied on "Beauty Room", and Ryan Murphy has achieved very good results in the field of producers, except for "Surgery Room" In addition to "Glee" and "Glee", his "American Weird Tales" launched in 2011 has won double affirmation of ratings and word of mouth.

Ryan-Murphy was inspired by the talent show and the film industry's return to the top of musicals to produce "Glee," a series that tells the story of a high school musical choir. After the broadcast, with "American Idol" as the lead, it became a national phenomenon. It not only won the championship in ratings and number of viewers, but also dominated the world in terms of topicality, so that it appeared in the society. With the "Glee Phenomenon", any topic that can be related to this show will be very hot.

Although the second season of "Glee" is only halfway through, the songs they cover in the episode have all entered the Billboard singles chart, which also makes them sturdy on the road to record creation Forward. If Evan Bell remembers correctly, "Glee" went on to have more than 100 Billboard hits, surpassing Elvis Presley, Soul Godfather James Brown and The Beatles to become Billboard Artist with the most songs on the Hot Singles chart.

In addition, the "Glee" cover songs have even achieved results that are difficult for the original singer to achieve, including winning the number one on the Billboard singles chart, and even some obscure songs in "Glee" "Under the performance of the show, the popularity broke out, and the cover version appeared on the bulletin board and also led the original singer to enter the bulletin board, which is really jaw-dropping.

Evan Bell vaguely remembers that the song download sales of "Glee" far exceeded 20 million times, and even the album sales were approaching the threshold of 10 million, which also made the series the most popular in the United States and even in the world. A phenomenal show.

It can be said that "Glee" is currently Fox TV's life-saving straw. For this show, even "American Idol" has made concessions on the broadcast time of the next season. It can be seen that Fox TV is desperate.

But the problem is that "American Idol" is now facing severe challenges. The position of "Glee" is not stable at all. Fox TV urgently needs more means to stabilize the status of these two series. So apart from Evan Bell, is there a more suitable candidate?

Imagine Evan Bell first appearing on "American Idol" as a guest judge, then appearing on "Glee" to make a special tribute to Evan Bell, which was tailored around Evan Bell. In this way, the explosion in the ratings and the number of viewers can be almost directly foreseen. At the same time, it can also repair the deadlocked relationship between Fox TV and Evan Bell. After all, any show is dedicated to producing a special for an artist, which is a supreme honor and an absolute symbol of the artist's social status affim.

In fact, Fox TV also considered that Evan Bell would reject the invitation of "American Idol". Judging from the situation last year, although Evan Bell did not care much about the melee of the talent show, he was still partial to "American Idol". "The Voice", not only Studio Eleven is responsible for the production of this talent show, but also Adam Li Wei, a singer directly affiliated with Studio Eleven, sits on the judges. Therefore, the "Voice of America" and "American Idol" were inseparable last year, and Fox TV believes that Evan Bell's power behind the scenes cannot be ignored.

But what Ken Burns did not expect was that Evan Bell rejected "American Idol", refused to appear in "Glee", and even refused to license his music copyright to "Glee", instead In other words, it is a total denial without any face.

Now in the American music scene, it can be considered an "honor" for any singer's music to be sung by "Glee", because the publicity effect is absolutely hot. Even the music of top singers such as the Beatles and Elvis have appeared in the "Glee" singing list many times. But Evan Bell sang the opposite tune, firmly saying "no".

This is why Ken Burns was so shocked. He didn't even hesitate to offend Teddy Bell. When he saw Evan Bell, he couldn't wait to persuade him. Being too surprised in his heart was also the driving force.

Although "Glee" has achieved very dazzling results, in Evan Bell's view, this is a drama without any nutrition, just a music video with the title of "Musical".

What is a real musical? Please go to Broadway to appreciate the style. Music is important, but no one can deny the importance of the plot. Even in a simple work like "High School Musical", the music in it complements the development of the plot.

Not so with Glee. In the first season, the quality of the episodes was still maintained, and the music and the plot were closely related to each other; but as the popularity of the episodes gradually increased, the plots became more and more bloody. It's all very bizarre, but the problem is that the plot of "Glee" has no nutrition at all, and even leads to the plot for the sake of singing. To exaggerate, it is singing for the sake of singing.

In Evan Bell's view, creating a musical is to first create a story and then select music based on the story; but "Glee" puts the cart before the horse. Sing the music, and then make up a plot, just like this, the ducks are put on the shelves. The quality of the episodes is really appalling.

As for the record created by "Glee", what surpasses the Beatles and the like, Evan Bell is even more scornful, this is a completely cover show, without any independent originality, the songs they cover can To achieve good results, in addition to the ratings, the main reason is that the original song is good enough, so "Glee" is completely a slobber song production team. So what is the so-called surpassing the Beatles, and where does it come from?

The reason why "Glee" has entered the Billboard singles chart so frequently is because the episodes are broadcast once a week, and each episode has no less than five songs. , any record is a cloud.

So, Evan Bell doesn't think it's an honor for his music to be seen by "Glee", he even thinks it's a little weird, imagine a group of young people there singing "Wada" or "Wnt" , which is really weird; or anti-war songs like "Catalyst (dtalPt, "This is Love (Thss=are, how should the plot be arranged? It is estimated that it is difficult to write a story that will satisfy Evan Bell.

With Evan Bell's personality, from any point of view, he will not participate in the "Glee" performance, even if it is only the song singing copyright, he will not agree. So when Teddy Bell mentioned this matter, Evan Bell refused at all without any hesitation, not only did not feel honored, but also sneered.

This is also the reason why Evan Bell is so hot after Kenneth publicly dumped Teddy Bell's face. Ken Burns' behavior is really unwise. Although Evan Bell did not vent his inner dissatisfaction violently, but for a long time to come, it is estimated that Fox TV station will find it difficult to obtain benefits from Studio Eleven.

Evan Bell has saved the face for Ken Burns, otherwise he will directly sneer and ridicule. The "Glee Chorus", which others regard as a treasure, is simply a vulgar representative for Evan Bell. Let Evan Bell reject Ken Burns' words, and Fox really has no face left.

In fact, most of the problems at work, Teddy Bell will more or less mention to Evan Bell, even if he does not ask Evan Bell's opinion, he will let Evan Bell know that there is such a thing. Teddy Bell has always been a competent brother. All his plans are for Evan Bell. No one knows it, but Evan Bell knows this very well. If Teddy Bell does not want Evan Bell to appear in a show, even if Evan Bell likes the script, he will refuse without hesitation.

Ken Burns questioning Teddy Bell's decision in front of Evan Bell is definitely not a wise choice.

Evan Bell didn't tear his face in person, but he didn't intend to show any face to Fox TV this time. Anyway, if News Corp knew about Evan Bell's role behind the wiretapping incident, it is estimated that the two sides would have nothing good to say. , don't care too much at all.
