Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

In 1998, the American Internet was already very lively, not only major companies have launched their own homepages on the Internet.For individual users, forums and blog programs on the Internet are also very attractive.At present, American users are mainly concentrated in the forums of the three portals of America Online, msn and Yahoo, while the network technology company under the name of Jade has launched a blog program website called Blog.com.Compared with general personal homepage websites, blogs are obviously richer in content, and the most important thing is that they are completely free.

B1og.com provides two sets of solutions. The first is to download a free blog program from B1og.net. Users need to purchase a domain name and space by themselves, and then use the one-click building function of the blog program to complete the establishment of a personal blog. This is generally applicable to Geeks and technical bloggers; another solution is to directly apply for a free blog at B1og.com, B1og.com will provide free storage space and a second-level domain name, but because the price of the hard disk is not cheap at this time, the company The corresponding storage space is given according to the popularity and update diligence of this blog.For a while, blogs became an Internet interactive product as popular as forums, and many users felt that blogs could better represent themselves.

Therefore, the popularity of topics on blogs and forums generally reflects the attitude of American Internet users. With the broadcast of "Big Brother" on Fox Network on Friday, forums and blogs began to discuss this brand new program that night.Firefighter John and female white-collar Janet are obviously the key figures in the topic. Many netizens think that the two of them challenge the moral bottom line of Americans too much.Especially since John claims to be a person who loves his family and his wife and daughter, why should he be seduced by Janet on the show?John not only betrayed his wife and family, but also his allies on the show.

Americans attach great importance to the spirit of the contract. Since John, Jack and others have made an agreement, John should fulfill the agreement and not break the agreement because of his own vested interests.More importantly, since you don't intend to maintain this covenant, why do you want to deceive your allies?The criticism of Janet is whether she should "practice" herself so much for the final prize of 5 US dollars.Fortunately, Janet announced that she is single on the show, so the criticism of her is relatively small.

As for Lily and Xiaojie who were eliminated in the end, many viewers expressed that they were not surprised.Any challenge program naturally has to keep the strongest contestants in the program, and Lily and Xiaojie are obviously the weakest people in the program.Lily is just a small town girl, and the intrigue in the flashy world obviously cannot make her get used to it; while Xiaojie is a big boy who just graduated from high school, and the intrigue in the adult world is a bit too cruel for him.Not only did the two not have enough experience in life, but their performance in the competition was also very speechless.Lily, the girl next door, is fine, and the audience doesn't expect her "sister" to do anything.But the problem is, doesn't Xiaojie claim to be the quarterback of the school football team?It was so disappointing to be defeated in a simple game session, so many viewers said "he deserved it" for Xiaojie's final elimination.

With the foreshadowing of the first week, "Big Brother" climbed to the first place in the ratings of the second week of the broadcast.In the content of the second episode, there are three alliances in "Big Brother". , college basketball player James, supermarket manager Andrew and female police officer Anne formed the "big city league", but it was the "underground couple group" composed of John and Janet that really controlled the game.Under the instigation of Janet and John, the two alliances are already in dire straits, and other players who want to remain neutral have to start choosing sides in the second episode.

What amazed the audience the most was the secret contact method designed by John and Janet, which could send out a lot of top-secret information just through the discharge of drinks in the refrigerator.The only place where the two meet privately is the toilet at the end of the corridor in the backyard on the first floor. Almost no one goes there, especially at night when it is so deserted.It seems that the producer of the show also wanted to help the pair of wild mandarin ducks, and the window pane of the toilet could escape into the living room to take a shower.In fact, the so-called secret room design is also one of the characteristics of "Big Brother". Generally speaking, each season of "Big Brother" will have one or two secret rooms, but not every season will be discovered.

In the homeowner challenge in the second episode, James of the Big City League won the homeowner status, which is good news for Janet and others.Because Janet and John also know another secret of "Big Brother", if the TV in the owner's room is switched to channel 13 in the middle, then all the monitors in the entire room can be monitored.But Janet didn't tell James the secret, but pretended to know nothing and discussed who to eliminate.John's suggestion is to nominate him and Mike at the same time, and in the end he will find a way to send Mike out.In John's view, Mike's too clever mind will sooner or later discover his and Janet's secrets, so it would be better to send him out as soon as possible.So Janet nominated John and Mike at the big city league nomination meeting.

The content of the second episode is slightly duller than that of the first episode, but the various intrigues in the middle are not lacking at all.With the end of the second episode, the topic of "Big Brother" on blogs and forums has increased.Now everyone is not only criticizing the players morally, but some people are also starting to analyze how the players should pass the test and finally win the championship.According to the point of view on the blog, Janet has the highest chance of winning, followed by John, and the third is Jack.With the popularity of "Big Brother", the promotion of "The Truman Show" is also very smooth.Because according to the producer's message and promotional trailer, everyone knows that this will be a movie about a reality show.But as the movie was released, everyone realized that the movie turned out to be more profound.

Nearly 3 years old, Truman looks no different from ordinary Americans. He is a good neighbor in the community and a colleague in the company. Except for his girlfriend who suddenly disappeared and his father who drowned, Chuman The door's life seems really unremarkable.But the audience soon discovered that Truman did not live in the real world.Truman was actually an outcast adopted by a TV organization. From the moment he was adopted, he was arranged into a reality show.This TV organization built an American town surrounded by the sea in the studio. Cameras are everywhere in the town, and except for Truman, everyone is an actor arranged by the TV station.Although Truman felt that this small town was a bit special, he didn't think much about it, and he didn't even think about leaving here.The only time he "defected" was during his rebellious period, when he tried to set up a sailboat to see far away.But because of his reckless behavior, his "father" "drowned".For the first time, it was the instigation of his first love girlfriend that made Truman doubt the world, but because of this instigation, his girlfriend disappeared... When Truman felt that the world became more and more strange, he finally encouraged Take your courage to find out...

"This may be the tragedy of the public in the media age." Film critic Richardson wrote a review of "The Truman Show" in the "Los Angeles Times" column, "We were still waiting for the broadcast of "Big Brother" two weeks ago. Full of enthusiasm, but soon we were severely slapped by "The Truman Show". Everyone has "voyeurism" in their hearts, which is not something to be ashamed of. But our media But in order to satisfy our dark psychology, "Big Brother" was produced for us. A group of men and women showed real stories of intrigue and intrigue for everyone in a closed space without privacy, and we were satisfied At the same time, they are afraid. Just like the audience watching the movie "The Truman Show", on the one hand, they applaud for Truman walking out of the virtual world, but on the other hand, they are worried about the vacancy of the show after Truman leaves. It is said that the idea of ​​"Big Brother" and the script of "The Truman Show" come from the same person, the boss of Galaxy Film and Dongfeng TV, Mr. Jed Sherman. I have to say that the audience in the United States was once again attracted by this smart guy Played it around. While he made us rejoice in our dark minds, he immediately slapped us in the face!"

The release of "The Truman Show" did make many viewers doubt the nature of the "Big Brother" program. Fox Broadcasting Company and Dongfeng TV Production Company had to both come out and issue a statement to ensure that the production of the entire program complies with the laws of the United States. , and all players participating in the show already know that all their privacy in the show will be recorded by the camera and may be broadcast.In order to prevent the players from having problems, professional physicians and psychologists are responsible for the physical and mental health of the players every week.At the same time, Fox Broadcasting Company stated that there is a strict difference between "Big Brother" and "The Truman Show". "Big Brother" is just a variety show for entertaining audiences, not a show with no limit.

But what I have to say is that because of the mutual hype between "The Truman Show" and "Big Brother", both of them have gained a lot of attention. "The Truman Show" unsurprisingly won the first weekend box office champion, and then won the second weekend box office champion in a row, until the third week 2o Century Fox Film Company released the "X-Files" movie version "Conquer After "Future" and Disney Animation launched "Mulan", it slipped to No.3.But even so, "The Truman Show" has been affirmed throughout the United States, and Woo Yusen has finally been recognized as a "film master" in Hollywood.After all, John Woo is not only good at commercial films, but also such deep-minded black humor films.

A month after The Truman Show was released, Jed Sherman's "Heroes of Heaven" also began to be released in North America.Although everyone has been dumbfounded by the amazing special effects of "Peerless Catastrophe", and this is another movie made on Imax film, in addition to the 3d and 2d versions of Imax, the 3d and 2d versions of ordinary film Also launched simultaneously.But for American audiences who love movies, they are very confident in Jed's big production, so the movie tickets in the Imax theaters are sold out immediately.And while Jed was still working hard for the premiere of "Peerless Heist", Spielberg made a call, hoping to find time to meet.
