Chapter 367

89. Channel 9, here is the radio 'wave' from Santa Monica Community College. ), welcome back to the afternoon conversation. The guest we invited today is Hugo Lancaster. Hugo, say hello to our audience. "

"Hey, good afternoon everyone, this is Hugo Lancaster." In order to promote "Sleepless in Seattle", Hugo came to Santa Monica today to participate in the live radio recording.

In the United States, radio stations have always been one of the most popular media. In the 1980s and 1990s, this "one" could even be omitted. In the car, in the office, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, on the plane, on the beach...every corner of American society is ubiquitous. On average, every American has more than two radios, which shows the amazing popularity of radio in the United States.

According to the statistics of the American Radio Listening Rate Testing Corporation, the United States has more than 10,000 large and small radio stations. More than 94% of people listen to the radio every week, and 77% listen every day. Broadcasting and radio have an omnipresent influence on the lives of ordinary people.

Even in key events such as the presidential election, radio has a unique influence. For Americans, television is a means of entertainment, but radio is a part of life. In this country on wheels, every car has a radio, and radio programs have become the most important part of daily life inside the car.

Therefore, for the entertainment industry, radio is the most important propaganda medium. The proportion of radio programs during the promotion period even exceeds that of TV programs. In fact, even in the 21st century, radio is still an indispensable part of all artists' propaganda. , Especially for singers, radio on-demand rate occupies a very important proportion in the bulletin board rankings. The publicity effect of radio stations far exceeds that of TV programs in many cases. Therefore, the culture of radio publicity is also a very important part of the American entertainment industry.

"Sleepless in Seattle" is actually a profile of the important status of radio programs in the United States today, so although Columbia Pictures did not arrange a lot of publicity for "Sleepless in Seattle", important radio publicity is still included in the itinerary. . It's just that no one expected that this movie would have such a huge response, which made the radio station so excited that it almost passed out.

It is a national comprehensive radio station, but the proportion of music will be slightly larger. The talk show hosted by Michael Silver's "Bo" is one of the radio's trump cards. It will be broadcast at two in the afternoon to match the lazy sunshine and afternoon. For tea, the main listening group is still the audience in the car and college students. The official road traffic jam peak period is from 3 to 6 in the afternoon.

Michael looked at Hugo who was dressed casually, "Lu" smiled, "A large number of movie fans gathered downstairs today, looking forward to your arrival, do you feel the enthusiasm from movie fans?"

"Oh, yes, I must thank some people here for so many people gathered at the'door' of the radio station to wait for my arrival. This should be the welcoming ceremony of the largest lineup I have ever seen in my memory." Hugo smiled. Speaking of, because the live broadcast of the radio station is in a community college, the pictures of all the college students in the mountains and plains are very shocking. Although Hugo did not count them in detail, there are at least 500 people waiting for his arrival at the door of the radio station today. , This caught Joseph, who had not hired a bodyguard, by surprise.

Obviously, no one had expected this popularity to erupt so suddenly, even after "Yihai Xiongfeng" was released, it was not so powerful. In the final analysis, it is because "Yihai Xiongfeng" is a serious drama, not a weapon to attract fans; and a chick movie like "Seattle Sleepless" is precisely a popular magnet.

"You know, I even saw the cheerleaders rehearsing a cheer dance for me, which made me flattered. For a moment, I felt the heart of the quarterbacks." It is summer vacation. During the period, there were so many students in the community college who gathered for Hugo, which made Hugo feel like a sunny beach in Santa Monica, which was wonderful.

"I'm sitting in the recording studio, and I can see the dense crowd outside from the side window. I think there are many people sitting in front of the radio at this time, waiting for you." Michael took a look outside, at least today Thousands of people came to the scene, and the'playground' in front of the radio recording building was already full. The hot summer could not stop the madness of the young people. The dense heads of people continued to move from under the shadow of the building. The playground spreads at the end, and the noisy scene is incomparable even on the first day of school. It is hard to imagine that all these people came here for Hugo alone. "Did you expect such a scene before the movie was released?"

"No, of course not." Hugo used to scratch his own hair sexually, but only then realized that he had cut all his hair. During the "Night Sleep in Seattle" period, he had medium-length hair and "Sinde". During the period of "Le's List", the hair was considered to be longer, but Hugo recently started to control his weight slowly while rehearsing the band, reducing the weight gained during the period of "Schindler's List"; on the other hand, he also shaved his hair. Yuan Cun, welcome the coming summer. Therefore, Hugo took over and only "touched" a "burr". "I took this movie because I liked it very much. Now there are so many viewers who can have the same idea as me. Makes me very happy."

After the release of "Sleepless in Seattle" this time, the popularity of Hugo's outbreak has doubled to three times compared to the previous scale. Although there are so many people on the scene today, the big reason is the university environment. If you change it It is estimated that there is no such grand occasion in the place, but it is undeniable that Hugo's current popularity has more than doubled since "Yihai Xiongfeng". The spectacular scene is really jaw-dropping.

Even if Hugo keeps admonishing himself not to make the mistake of complacency before, but seeing the crowds in front of him, he still set off a huge'wave' in his heart. It is hard to imagine that a movie can cause such a wide range of repercussions. I think there is a trace of the popularity frenzy after the release of "Twilight "Color".

Michael'touched' his half-bald smooth round head, and took his gaze back from the raging crowd outside the window. "'Seattle Sleepless' is a love story full of miracles. What made you choose this script? Do you believe in love at first sight like in the movie?"

Hugo curled his lips, "Well, I actually don't believe in love at first sight. I believe in the incredible magic of love. I also believe in the destined traction between two strangers, but I immediately fell in love with a stranger. It's not my style."

Hugo's words made Michael laugh and tease, "At this moment, many of the'women' and'sex' sitting in front of the radio are heartbroken. They are also looking forward to seeing you like in a movie."

"Hehe, maybe that's why I took this movie." Hugo smiled at the corner of his mouth. "Because I believe that love can create many miracles. Although love is not the whole of life, it does. Brings us many surprises."

"Magic, right?" Michael's voice was mellow and warm, and the low baritone sounded exceptionally beautiful in the radio 'wave'.

Hugo nodded, and said at the same time, "Yes, magic."

"Which part of this movie do you like the most?" Michael is still very dedicated, focusing on the movie in the first half of the interview.

"How long is your show?" Hugo asked Michael to laugh, and the director, staff, Joseph and others in the recording room all laughed. "I'm serious. In fact, this sentence is my favorite moment. I can hardly imagine Sam's inner turbulence when he said this sentence."

"I must agree to this." The smile on the corner of Michael's mouth still did not dissipate, and he nodded vigorously. "Although this sentence has a slight sense of humor and ridicule, the deep meaning behind this sentence is such a wave of waves. "Man. Maybe that's what makes Sam's character so attractive."

"Isn't it my reason?" Hugo's kind ridicule made the laughter that hadn't calmed down again. At the same time, in front of countless radios across the United States, the audience couldn't help but'show' a smile. . Although you can't see the appearance of Hugo, Hugo's very recognizable voice can easily make people paint the scene in their minds, and the listening effect is very strong.

"Yes, of course it's your reason." Michael affirmed repeatedly, "Just feel the enthusiasm of the fans waiting outside, and you can be sure that the infinite charm you gave Sam the character has been affirmed by everyone. Next, we will personally test your charm, we will open the audience phone time, so that every audience has the opportunity to have a direct conversation with Hugo, just like the moving telephone interview in the movie, we will Let Hugo personally reproduce it here, and viewers who have questions, please call our radio as soon as possible."

After Michael got the affirmative gesture from the outside director ~www.mtlnovel.com~, he started the most important part of today, interacting with the listeners on the phone, but the calls from all over the country need the answerers to filter the first dial, and then It is the director who decides who to call, so there is still a short air, and Michael then looks at Hugo, "After the movie is released, do you feel the sudden burst of popularity?"

"Of course, of course..." Hugo just opened his mouth to answer, and saw Michael looking outside with a surprised look. Hugo couldn't help turning his head, and then he saw the director standing outside, doing a series of things. He couldn't understand the gestures, and the staff around who had been standing quietly quickly began to get busy. Although curious about what happened, Hugo continued to speak into the microphone, "In the process of participating in the promotion these days, many fans have followed all the way. I can even see my portrait and promotional banners. Appearing on the scene of the program recording, this kind of enthusiasm makes people deeply feel the support from the fans of the movie, it is really touching."

"Huh, I think your publicity schedule is still too small." Michael lamented, "Because our telephone hotline was just opened, it was blown up, and all of our hotlines became truly'hot', look. It will be melted by the enthusiasm of movie fans."

This is what the director gave Michael a gesture to pass just now? The hotline was blown up, how far is it?
