America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 252 251. The shocking opening of "The Voice"

"This is Michael's first variety show in his life, do you understand? This is his first variety show!"

"Didn't Michael Jackson appear on variety shows? I remember he appeared on quite a few.

"No, this is completely different. In the past, he could only be regarded as a temporary guest at most. This time, he is the assistant director, producer and mentor."

"I don't care about assistant directors and producers. Mentor, do you understand what a mentor is? This means that he will record the entire season of the show!"

"I feel very happy to be able to see him on TV all the time. This will be an unprecedented experience. I almost cried with excitement. Thank you MGM and Eric Cooper."

"Haha. Even if Michael Jackson sits there and doesn't say anything, you will still have an orgasm, right?"

"Damn, this guy is an Eminem fan, get out of here you son of a bitch!"

"Jenny, I like Jenny so much. Her slap in the face is so cool. How is that bastard Justin doing now? Who knows?"

"The two old men who were seriously injured by him woke up and have sued him. The court will be held in a month. It seems that he has not shown up for a long time."

"Does he dare to show up? Now I'm afraid he is trying every means to prepare the immigrants to escape, or just like Polanski."

"Hahaha, Fox is really unlucky. I really want to see what the editing of "American Idol" looks like. Have you seen the trailer?"

"I watched it, watched it several times, and there is no Justin in the trailer, only Eminem, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell."

"So, Fox cut all of Justin Timberlake's scenes? But if his show is cut, can it still be aired? It will definitely be in pieces."

"To be honest, I actually quite like Simon Cowell. Although he has a vicious tongue, it's quite fun to watch him curse. Of course, both Emmy and Randy Jackson should be swept into the trash."

"Whatever, "The Voice" is a must-see. I've already got it in advance as a member of Lionheart.com. If you like it, you can get it for free."

"I envy people who have many friends on Facebook. I can only buy it at half price, but you can watch me move for only $7.50. It's not worth it."

"I like Celine Dion too. I wonder if she can sing "my heart will go on"."

"I told you not to just pay attention to "The Voice". The self-made dramas online on Lionheart are also great. Didn't you watch the trailer for Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey's first American drama, "House of Cards"? I feel like this drama Become a god!"

"There are also a lot of Japanese animations. MGM is really powerful, and they have done a great job without even realizing it. Eric Cooper is my favorite."

"Agree, Eric Cooper, I love you!"

"Agree!"

Before the launch of Lionheart.com, online discussions had exploded, especially among young people, causing a craze.

Facebook now has more than 70 million registered users, and about 60 million permanent active users. The current total population of the United States is only about 290 million, which is almost a quarter.

Judging from the current market environment, most young people have joined, and a considerable number of adults have also joined, almost reaching the saturation line, so the current growth is very slow.

If My Space can be killed, registered users should see another surge, but we still have to find opportunities.

Two months ago, Facebook started expanding to Mexico and Canada, but unfortunately it has not yet been negotiated.

The UK is loosening up quickly. The cooperation between MGM and Michael Dobbs is becoming more and more pleasant. It doesn't matter how much money is spent, as long as you do the work.

Based on the solid foundation laid by Facebook, the number of registered users of YouTube is also very gratifying. It has exceeded 25 million and is growing at a rapid rate.

Ever since Eric gave them a sample, the young people suddenly became enlightened and made all kinds of video types.

Just after the shoulder-shaking trend passed, something called bubble dance became popular again.

It is also attracting celebrity singers to gradually settle in. The website is negotiating with major music companies, hoping to obtain their authorization.

In this way, while making videos, you can build YouTube into the world's largest online music platform to prepare for the digital music model that will eventually arrive in the future.

And being protected by the two big brothers, Lionheart King was sold out as soon as it went online on Saturday.

Besides, there are also the support of 4 super popular mentors. The number of their fans is not too many. Spend a few dollars to support the idols and watch some new dramas by the way. Why not?

Silicon Valley.

“Boss, boss, the situation is gratifying, the situation is gratifying, it’s so good and unexpected!”

Seeing Eric's arrival, Robert Mirren walked up quickly with excitement to announce the good news.

Eric looked at the time: "It's been exactly one hour. How many members have there been?"

"Boss, you will be surprised. According to the data monitored in the background, the number of our members has exceeded two million."

"OMG! Two million. This is really unimaginable. Looking at the history of global Internet development, no website can reach this figure within one hour."

"I must admit that I still underestimated myself. I thought it would be great to have half a million. Oh my god, this is like a dream!"

Looking at Robert who was a little incoherent with excitement, Eric patted him on the shoulder to signal him to calm down.

"You are so happy with only 2 million. Don't forget that Lionheart is moving forward on the shoulders of Facebook and YouTube."

"I have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising fees, and in the current environment to build momentum, no website has such good treatment as Lionheart. Our goal is not a small two million."

"Yes, yes, I'm just too excited." Robert Mirren calmed down.

"Well, what are the ingredients in these two million members?"

Robert counted on his fingers: "First of all, there are free members for activities. There are about 150,000 people. I don't understand why there are so many! I only have a few dozen friends in my Facebook account."

Carol smiled and looked at this middle-aged man who was obviously a bit of an otaku in silence.

"Then there are low-level members, which are about 300,000 people. The proportion is not too high. It seems that people don't like advertising."

"The number of standard members is the largest, almost 1.2 million, leaving about 350,000 premium members."

"I think many people may not know the meaning of Blu-ray image quality. Once they see it, they will understand. It is a kind of enjoyment."

Eric nodded with satisfaction: "The ingredient distribution is okay. As long as low-level members do not account for the majority, the website can achieve a virtuous cycle."

"Continue to monitor the data closely and don't forget what I arranged."

"Understood, Helen is responsible for the satisfaction survey. She is the best at dealing with people among us."

"Um."

He walked through the corridor and came to his office. He hadn't been here for a month, but the place was very clean.

"Boss, this Robert Mirren is quite interesting. Apart from you, he is the top person in charge, and he even goes to pour the coffee himself. There is no sense of arrogance from him."

"Haha. Robert specializes in technology. The core secret of Lionheart Network was created by his team. His social skills are indeed a bit poor."

"I don't think it's a bit bad. I found that the employees here don't even say hello when they see you. They just nod and leave. It's completely different from MGM."

"Well, this is the working atmosphere of Lionheart. In fact, I like it very much. It is simple and efficient, and everyone performs their duties."

After bringing the coffee, Robert said hesitantly: "Boss, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Watching the two people leave, Carol opened the website out of boredom and clicked on "The Voice," which is currently the most discussed topic.

MGM released 6 episodes at once, which was half a season. Carroll glanced at the progress bar and saw that the first episode was an hour and a half long.

As the picture turned from dark to bright, a man in a casual suit stood there. Behind him was a huge palm statue holding a microphone and making a yes gesture.

The man is James Corden, who has not yet risen, and his body has not yet expanded. Eric hired him to be the host.

He can not only perform, host, but also sing. Although he is a little immature in terms of experience, he is definitely a good talent.

It would also be good to give him a talk show or a "Car Karaoke Show" in the future.

James Corden said: "This is a unique song talent show because our first priority is singing ability."

As soon as the screen turned, the screen suddenly became brighter, and the camera showed four red chairs.

"Today, four of the most influential people in the music world will be given the important mission of finding the voice of nature in the United States."

"Their combined album sales exceed 700 million copies, and they have countless fans in the United States and around the world. They have transcended the label of singers and become symbols of pop culture."

"Michael Jackson, he is the world's king of pop, with the number one album sales in the world. His legend needs no introduction."

"Celine Dion, a super singer with a heavenly voice, has won 4 Grammys and 10 World Music Awards. She is a musician praised by all countries."

"Janet Jackson, the incomparably popular singing and dancing queen. Her album "Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814" is the only album in the history of music to produce number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive years. It is also a historical record. The only album to have all seven singles hit the top five on the singles chart."

"Jayz, the genius of gangsta rap, the creator of the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, "The Source" gave his album "Reasonable Doubt" a perfect score, and he is known as the king of contemporary rap."

"These four superstars will work together to discover the fifth superstar. First of all, they will show everyone what the charm of a superstar is."

After the words fell, the lights dimmed, and the camera moved to the center of the stage. A tall figure stood there faintly. Those familiar with it could recognize it at a glance. It was Celine Dion.

"Deep within each heart."

"there lies a magic spark."

"that lights the fire of our imagination."

"And since the dawn of man."

"the strength of just I can."

"has brought together people of all nations."

She sang "The Power of Dreams" with a light and powerful voice. This song was a song she once performed at the opening ceremony of the Atlanta Olympic Games.

It is also meaningful to use it as the opening here today, to encourage singers who pursue their dreams to believe in the power of dreams.

And it has indeed done this this season. Although three of the semi-finals have been determined in advance, the three of them are indeed very strong.

Especially for Fruit Sister, the evaluations given by the four instructors were exactly the same in terms of singing skills alone. She is the undisputed champion!

Brother Martian's comprehensive ability is extraordinary. When he starts singing and dancing, you can't take your eyes away from him.

The only Swift is slightly inferior. She loses because she is too young, her voice is immature, and she is not as good as the other three in terms of professional vocal training.

But it doesn't matter, Eric likes her, and this is enough for her to break out of the encirclement.

Coupled with the shortlisting of passerby Xilin, isn't this just believing that dreams will come true.

"Every woman, child and man."

"It's the moment that you think you can't."

"You'll discover that you can."

"Feel the flame forever."

As Celine Dion's singing comes to an end, the background music gradually falls.

Suddenly, a burst of dynamic and weird electronic music came in, and then the background music rose, making a smooth transition to DJ playing.

The audience who had just been applauding soon started shaking, and Jay jumped onto the stage from nowhere, his mouth crackling like a machine gun.

What he brought was his famous song "I Just Wanna Love U", and the atmosphere at the scene was even more heated.

After performing for a while, Jayz looked to the left in surprise and saw Maikou standing there with his backup dancers.

Wearing a white suit, he stands out among the black suits of the dancers, making people unable to leave him at a glance.

OH

In the field, the audience's cheers were about to lift the roof off in an instant, and the background music once again changed to McQueen's "Crime Master".

His body danced with the singing, and the joints of his body seemed to be screwed. Finally, a group of people rowed the moonwalk to the center of the stage.

Ouch!

Accompanied by Maikou's iconic screams, every move they made was perfectly synchronized.

When Maikou and the backup dancers danced the zombie step, the music stopped abruptly as one step landed.

Then the camera panned to the right side of the stage, where Janet Jackson was also standing there with her backup dancers.

boom!

There was a violent explosion of drums and Jenny's classic song "Rhythm Nation."

She led the group of sisters behind her to dance the classic dance. As a female singer recognized as the best at singing and dancing, Jenny's dance was full of dynamics and power, and her rhythm was no weaker than her brother's.

"With music by our side."

"To break the color lines."

"Let's work together."

"To improve our way of life."

With the brisk dance steps, Jenny gradually jumped to the center of the stage.

When the brother and sister met, the two started to interact, and it seemed to be a scene of dispute where no one was convinced by the other.

Although the radio didn't capture what the two were talking about, one glance at them revealed that they were quarreling.

Then the quarrel turned into a dance battle, and the two each led their dance troupes to compete. The dazzling and wonderful dance moves made people wonder who to focus on.

Finally, with the reappearance of Celine Dion and Jayz, fireworks bloomed brilliantly on the stage, and the opening show finally came to an end.

There are only two words left in everyone's heart - shocking!
