[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 297 White House Petition

Right now is the golden age of the TV industry. Although "Friends" is very popular, its ratings basically reach the top for a short time, and it has not been ranked first for a long time. The competition is very fierce.

The average viewership of the fifth season in the first half of the year was 2350 million, second only to the first season of "Survivor".But after the return of the sixth season in the second half of the year, the number of viewers dropped a bit, and the average number of viewers before Christmas was only 2150 million.

Maybe it's because the viewers are at home on Christmas, or maybe it's the impact of star power, the number of viewers of this episode has reached a terrifying 3380 million people, which is even among the best in the entire six seasons of the show.

The main reason is that the second season is too hot. Episodes No.12 and No.13 not only invited Brooke Shields and Jean-Claude Van Damme, they were also broadcast after the Super Bowl, and the number of viewers soared to 5300 million about!

That's exactly the embodiment of the influence of the Super Bowl, making it difficult for subsequent TV series to match.

When the ratings came out, "Legal Blonde" producer Mark Pratt and "Friends" producer Kevin Black were very happy.

Since Eve's guest appearance was made by Mark who had to bite the bullet and ask his friends to come, he did not expect Kevin to be so powerful, directly making Eve the center of this episode, and making the six-member group of Friends a supporting role.

This kind of favor is not light, allowing the top production to handle the plot around Eve, which cannot be bought with any money.

Fortunately, Eve held on, and at the same time brought huge attention to the TV series. The ratings of more than 3000 million people are already the peak ratings in the sixth season. It is not even clear whether there will be a breakthrough in the next few episodes until the end of the season.

This is completely a masterpiece of the right time, place and people!

"Merry Christmas, Kevin. Thanks for doing me a favour, more and more people are talking about Eve talking about my movie. There should be a rise in the box office tomorrow."

"It's nothing, the ratings of our TV series have also increased a lot, which is completely mutually beneficial." Kevin said into the phone: "Since Eve came to shoot a lot of materials, I will put some unused materials in this episode for the next one." Set and use."

Mark Platt was very happy when he heard it, "That's really great, maybe your show will make the movie box office more tens of millions of dollars."

This episode of Eve's role as Jill was well-received, and the plot just happened to be stuck on her date with Ross. The next episode will definitely have a large audience.

As Kevin said, it's a win-win.

As the absolute protagonist of the movie, Eve didn't do much publicity at all, relying entirely on box office, word of mouth, and award ceremonies, and "Friends" was the most effective publicity method, making up for the shortcomings in this regard.

In fact, this kind of situation is entirely MGM's mistake. The release time coincides with Christmas. Eve will definitely have a holiday, and most of the TV programs are also recorded in advance.

So they expect Eve to start the promotional route after New Year's Day, but Eve will be in the group to shoot a new film after New Year's Day, and there is no extra time and effort to run publicity.

This is also the strategy and plan formulated by the CAA brokerage company. Eve's exposure rate in the awards season is too high. Before "Almost Famous" ran a circle of programs, and now continuing to show will make the audience feel disgusted. Why are you everywhere?

In the absence of starring in the talk show, next Thursday will show Eve's guest appearance in "Friends", so that she can maintain the corresponding popularity with the movie.

Next Thursday is even more critical, when the Golden Globe Awards will announce the nomination list, and "Legal Blonde" was released too late and did not go to public relations at all. Maybe the popularity will be overwhelmed by a large number of nominated films.

Although Eve will be nominated, it is mostly because of the other films, so the popularity may not be reflected on this film.

Maybe with the help of the Golden Globes, "Almost Famous" will counterattack "Legally Blonde" at the box office and complete its own feat.

Under such circumstances, the exposure of "Friends" is really precious.

Viewers were very positive about it, and it was highly discussed online and gave the episode super high marks on IMDB.

"I didn't expect Eve to come to the movie as a cameo, she's so funny as Jill!"

"It's completely a dream linkage. She is also a charming girl in the movie, and she is also a lawyer. In the TV series, she wants to be a lawyer in order to win her father."

"Hey, guess what? Jill really became a lawyer and even helped win the lawsuit. If you don't believe me, go to the cinema and watch "Legally Blonde"!"

"Absolute surprise, Eve's comedies are really fun. That fake cry is so similar, I want to learn it too."

"When my dad was watching TV, he said, how could such a lovely daughter be willing to cut off all sources of wealth."

"Rachel and Jill really look like sisters and they're just as funny."

"Can't wait to see the next episode Rachel what the hell are you thinking hahahaha."

"Strongly request Eve to stay in "Friends"!"

"Second, I love the character of Jill so much. It would be nice to have her comeo in two episodes every season, don't make it a one-time character!"

"The interaction between the two sisters is really interesting, as if seeing my sister and me."

Many people say that there are seven people in Friends, six leading actors and you in front of the TV.

Now Eve's cameo effect is so good that some netizens went directly to the White House petition website to submit a petition.

There is a feature on the White House official website called "We the People." Netizens can submit a petition. If enough signatories can be found within 30 days, the White House will reply.

Since the opening of this function, people from all over the world have gone there to petition, and some of them really gathered enough people to get a reply from the White House.

Such as the merger of the United States and Canada, landing on the moon again, building buildings in Star Wars, publishing beer recipes, publishing the official Pokemon of each state, and so on.

Most of the petitions are actually fun, interesting and nonsensical. This time, the audience collectively appealed to the petition website to vote for an issue, that is, "Let Eve stay in Friends"!

While this isn't the first time showbiz content has surfaced on the White House petition, it's still unheard of for an actor to star in a TV show.

Originally, fans of the TV series had a high liking for Eve, but now there are many netizens who don't pay attention to "Friends" and the entertainment industry to join in, and everyone starts to canvass votes online.

Many netizens actually didn't watch the content of this episode, but after seeing everyone voting, they couldn't help but voted, and they were very interested in the content of this episode.

What kind of magical power does Eve have that can make so many people canvass for her?Do you even want her to join the TV series Friends?

This issue has been continuously forwarded and discussed by netizens, attracting many people who eat melons to join, and the number of petitions soon exceeded 10!

But without waiting for a reply from the White House, another petition from die-hard Friends fans came—a request that Eve not be a resident in Friends.

When the ordinary audience and the melon-eaters shouted to vote, the die-hard fans couldn't sit still.

They have been following the show for six years, and the six characters in it have been completely integrated into one, and no one else can join, not even Eve, who is beautiful and good at acting!

Guest appearances are fine, but permanent appearances are not.

So this petition quickly spread among the fans of the TV series. Everyone is not boycotting Eve, but just boycotting her permanent presence!

However, compared to the previous petition, this one has less support and attention, and it took a lot of effort to satisfy 10 people.

So everyone saw two completely different issues on the White House petition website.

Poor Eve turned into a football and was kicked back and forth by both sides. The key is that the deity has no understanding of this and is completely kept in the dark!

……

Looking back to Alaska, Eve and Keanu spent a short vacation with Snoopy.

I went to the local hot springs and felt the contrast between the surrounding white snow and the temperature-warm-humidity-moisture of the spring water.Obviously, his hair was covered with hoarfrost, but his body was unbearably warm.

I went to the Ice Sculpture Museum to see the works of the masters. Eve and Keanu also sculpted a piece of work, but both of them are not very good at art, and the finished products are not as good as the works of local elementary school students.

Not only that, traditional dog sledding and reindeer sledding must be experienced.

Dig a small hole in the ice lake and start fishing, ride a special motorcycle on the snow, go hiking on the glacier, go to the ice hockey hall to play as a cheerleader...

Five days was simply not enough time. When Eve and the two had to go to the airport to take the plane back to Los Angeles, she was a little bit reluctant to part with this place.

But the harvest is also quite big, except for the diamond ring in my hand, it is full of memories.

Christmas is just the period when the aurora erupts, and she can see the beautiful aurora almost every night, and it lasts for a long time, fully satisfying her wish.

From arriving in Alaska on the afternoon of December 12rd to leaving on the morning of the 23th, Eve and Keanu basically had no contact with the outside world, as if they were in a paradise.

However, such days are always limited, and they have to set foot in Hollywood, the middle of Vanity Fair.

Somehow, the landing time and location of the private jet were inquired by the paparazzi.

When the two of Eve returned to Los Angeles, they were surrounded by paparazzi as soon as they got off the plane, without warning at all!

"Eve, may I ask if you have any plans to stay in "Friends"?"

"What do you think of the audience's White House petition?"

"Have NBC and Warner invited you to continue participating in "Friends"?"

"Congratulations on your achievement of two White House petitions, what's your response to that?"

Eve felt a little regretful. She knew that she should have worn sunglasses. She didn't understand these paparazzi's problems at all.

At this moment, I can only shake my head and reply: "I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about, can someone explain to me?"

The unmarried couple who have been disconnected from the Internet for many days have exactly the same expressions, and the same style is confused.

The author has something to say: The timeline has been modified for the plot effect, and the little angels who understand the White House petition should not think it is a bug.

There is another big fat chapter tonight~~
