Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

Variety Show Inspiration from “American Idol”

Claire plans to fly back to San Francisco first, a different destination than most of the rest of the crew.

Terminal 1 of Cancun International Airport, Mexico.

Director Baz Luhrmann hugged Claire goodbye, “Goodbye, Claire! You are the same as Romeo in my eyes now!” ”

Director Luhrmann, I admire your talent!”

The boarding lane opened and ticket checking began. Boarding.

“Looking forward to our next collaboration! Claire!” Director Baz Luhrmann said.

“It’s my honor! Director Baz Luhrmann.” Claire waved to everyone who came to see her off, then turned around and walked into the ticket gate with Martin and bodyguard Campbell.

Director Baz Luhrmann’s personal style is very obvious. He has his own unique sensitivity for art and fashion. Baz Luhrmann had a hand in the film’s soundtrack, costumes, makeup, and sets. In his previous life, he often collaborated with luxury brands to shoot promotional short films. To some extent, it can be said that the visual aspect of his films exceeds the storytelling aspect.

On the plane,

Claire is planning the distribution of gifts for her family. He thought of his sister Lina Dillon, who should be at home now. At the beginning of the year, he asked Roxy to help Lina find a suitable debut opportunity. I wonder if Roxy has forgotten this matter. After all, she is so busy now.

Speaking of which, I made my singing debut. The fastest and most effective way is through the draft. Thinking of China’s Super Girl and The Voice of China in the past, the top few contestants are still active in the music scene in 2019. This shows the gold content of the talent show at that time.

On the other side of the ocean, in Europe and the United States, there are of course similar music talent shows, the famous one being “American Idol.” But “American Idol” is not original. Instead, it bought the rights to the British program “Pop Idol”. The music program in the UK had to wait until 2000 to be aired, and now it will be many years before “American Idol” is aired.

I guess Lina couldn’t afford to wait, Claire estimated the time in her mind.

Wait!

Why can’t I take it out first? Isn’t this the exclusive skill of time travellers? Claire suddenly realized!

He can sell the program idea to the TV station, and the requirement is to let Lina appear on it. It’s the best of both worlds, a win-win for Lina and me! The more Claire thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.

But Claire was confused about how to register the program’s trademark and copyright in the United States.

But he is not afraid. He can always solve it if he goes back and asks his omnipotent manager Roxy.

Claire and the flight attendant asked for paper and pen, ready to jot down everything they could think of right now.

Claire plans to combine several similar music talent shows from later generations, such as “The Voice” and so on. What you have to do is make the best show possible. He really likes the program setting of “The Voice” where he presses the button and the mentor turns around. It is a bit more exciting and involving than “American Idol”. The “The Voice of China” back then also created a ratings myth.

Claire kept writing and writing until the plane was about to land. Claire had written five large sheets of paper, and the contents were all messy and in disordered order.

As soon as we get off the plane, let’s put the “American Idol” thing aside for now.

Claire ran towards the family at the pick-up gate.

go home! It’s the holidays!

In San Francisco, people in Chinatown don’t celebrate Christmas very much. But around Christmas, Chinatown is always particularly lively. Because most Catholic believers have closed their stores and gone home for the holidays. Only Chinatown continues to open its doors and welcome visitors. Americans too lazy to cook at home flocked to Chinatown.

Year after year, eating Chinese food on Christmas has become a new ‘traditional custom’.

…

After Christmas, Claire took the inspiration for the “American Idol” program she wrote on the plane and flew to Los Angeles to find Roxy for help.

Arriving at Roxy’s house where she had stayed for a long time.

“You told me on the phone before that you wanted to register a copyright for a variety show?” Roxy asked Claire again for confirmation, fearing that she had heard wrongly.

“Yes! You heard it right!” Seeing Roxy’s face full of questions, Claire knew that she didn’t understand her for a while.

“Where do you get your wild ideas? The copyright of a variety show is not as simple as a casual game of eagle and chicken.” Roxy explained, she was afraid that Claire would just play a little game.

“Don’t worry, listen to me first.” Claire took out the manuscript from her bag and spread it on the coffee table. “My thoughts are very complete and actionable! You see, I have written a lot.” He said, pointing to the papers.

Roxy saw that the header and footer of those papers were still printed with the ‘Mexico International Airlines’ logo watermark, and she couldn’t help being speechless, “Did you write this on the plane back to the United States?” “Yes, at that time,

in At an altitude of 10,000 feet, my inspiration broke away from the shackles of gravity and began to burst out!” Claire suddenly looked at Roxy reproachfully and said: “Of course, you are also responsible!” “What is my responsibility?” Roxy’s face was filled with questions

.

“Isn’t it because the last time I asked you to help my sister Lena Dillon find performance opportunities, you have been putting it off for more than half a year, and there has been no movement from you. Don’t I have to be self-reliant!” “No way

! So fast!” Roxy held her forehead, “The program production arrangements for FOX TV station have been decided a long time ago. I am going to find a suitable opportunity to give it to your sister after the year.” “Okay, what you said makes sense. I don’t blame you

. You. But you have to help me get this variety show copyright.” Claire said that she was very considerate, and said: “Don’t say anything for now, wait until I finish talking about my ideas, and then you can talk about it. OK?” ”

. ….OK! OK!” Roxy was defeated.

“The name of the variety show is very loud! It’s called – American Idol!” Claire began her long speech, “In one sentence, it can be summarized as: This is a music talent show for American teenagers. Through auditions, semi-finals, There are many hurdles in the finals and finals, and the final winner will be awarded the title of American Idol!”

“The combination of music and competition?” Roxy immediately grasped the key point.

“Yes!” Claire glanced at Roxy approvingly. “Let music be like competitive sports, making the audience excited and cheering for it.” ”

You continue.” Roxy’s intuition told her that this was not simple.

“The first is the audition. The program team needs to set up several competition areas across the United States. Each competition area will select the top ten contestants through auditions.” Claire explained in detail, “The top ten contestants from each competition area will form the top 100 players in the United States. Strong players. Then comes the brutal knockout rounds, top 48 – top 24 – top 8 – top 4 – to the final national championship!” ”

The competition system you set up is very clear. It takes more than three months to record a season. Just right.” Roxy commented.
