Chapter 370 370
The listening rate of the talk show from Kcrw Radio from 2:00 to 4:00 pm broke the historical record, with the highest listening rate reaching 20% instantly, and the average listening rate is as high as 16%. Although the specific data remains to be confirmed by the official, it is estimated that in these two hours, more than 50 million listeners across the United States have listened to this episode. This value is no less than country music programs, and the "Oprah Talk Show" that achieved good results at the beginning of the year has attracted more people's attention.
This set of data not only surpassed the 7:00 am and 6:00 pm who usually dominated the listening rate champion, but also dominated the listening rate of all programs throughout the week, which made the commercial value of KCRW radio in the instant multiply.
Among them, the factors that are easy to attract more listeners on the radio have occupied a key position, but it is undeniable that Hugo has risen to a new level with the popularity of the film "Seattle Night Without Sleeping", which not only swept away the haze of the past five months, but also goes further than the "Yihai Xiongfeng" period, allowing Hugo to win more support.
Hugo is using his own efforts to step by step into an actor's path. Only the success of the work can allow Hugo to gain more say in the showdown with Tracy. Now it seems that "Seattle Sleeping Night" has allowed Hugo to win another small victory, and at the same time, the showdown between "Schindler's List" and "Farewell to the Heaven of Love" is becoming more and more surging.
After finishing recording of the radio program, Hugo saw Carl in the waiting room, which surprised Hugo, "Why are you here?"
Carl pointed to Joseph standing behind Hugo, "I received a call for help and came to help temporarily."
Joseph's voice came over, "You really should have a manager and assistant, otherwise the work will only be busier."
After all, Joseph is just an agent, and he has no way to follow Hugo all day long. He needs more time to sit in the office and find more job opportunities for Hugo. At the same time, he has reached the stage of increasing his artists. With the explosion of three consecutive works by Hugo, Joseph has now made a name for himself, and artists are willing to seek help from Joseph's agent. Therefore, Joseph now feels the tightening of his working hours.
After all, an agent is a nanny for many artists, and the more artists the more successful the manager is, the more successful he is; and a manager is the exclusive nanny for an artist, and taking good care of his artists is success. Joseph is an agent, not a manager.
Hugo looked back at Joseph and teased with a smile, "So, are you going to abandon me?" This teasing made Joseph roll his eyes directly.
For Hugo, Joseph was the first friend he met after traveling through time and his most trusted partner at present. Therefore, it is obviously not easy to leave Joseph's help and seek the personal companionship of another manager. Hugo is just a lonely and helpless person in this time and space. He really doesn't know who Ying Gao is looking for to be the manager.
Generally speaking, managers are the objects of the artist's most trusted person, and family is the best choice for managers, parents, brothers and sisters, lovers, etc., followed by friends, best friends, friends, and confidants who are absolutely trusted. Because managers need to be fully responsible for the artist's external work contact, including contact with agents, managers require that they can fully understand the needs of artists and be completely on the same mind as artists, so that they can seek greater benefits for artists.
It is almost impossible for Hugo to find such a trustworthy partner. Think about the irritable Adam and Lina who has not yet been found. As for friends, Lancaster left his hometown to work hard in Los Angeles. He had not been in contact with his good friends from junior high school and high school for many years, and his friends in Los Angeles are all insiders, so Hugo had no choice at all.
This is also the most troublesome part of Hugo at the moment. Once Joseph returns to his agent position, he will have to return to the stage of fighting alone. This will be very hard, most importantly, confusion.
"But fortunately, I won't have a job for a long time, so don't worry." Hugo punched Joseph and said with a smile. After the promotion of "Seattle Night Not Sleeping", Hugo will join the tour's Long March with Honor until his death. He will not take on new jobs for at least three months. This period will also become a buffer period for Joseph to return to his agent.
Joseph looked at Hugo and felt a little worried. Although he could not say that he knew Hugo well, he also knew that it was not that easy for Hugo to find a manager. Joseph could only hope that Hugo would find his former high school best friend and confidant and find a trustworthy manager.
Carl walked up and patted Joseph and Hugo on the back, "Are you ready? When I came, I was frightened by the situation outside." Alex and Charlize are now in the early stages of the career development of the actors, so the manager's problems are not prominent, and Carl has no plans to increase his artists in the short term, so he will still devote himself to the work arrangements of the two.
"How many people are there outside?" Hugo had to put the manager's affairs aside for the time being and take a look. Anyway, managers are generally equipped that only top artists can have. There are a lot of actors in the circle without managers. Hugo is still a long way from the so-called top, so there is no need to worry. Compared to managers, it is more pragmatic to have an assistant.
Carl walked in front and sold a secret, "You can see it when you go out, believe me, you will be shocked. Joe, are you sure we don't need the help of the security guard? It's not that easy to rely on the two of us."
"Don't worry, they will take the initiative to help..." Before Hugo could finish his speech, Carl pushed open the door on the first floor, and then Hugo saw the endless sea of people in front of him, spreading to the far end of the playground from the door. He raised his head and could even see that there were many people standing on the balcony of the surrounding teaching buildings or dormitory buildings.
When the crowd exceeds a certain number, it is actually difficult to measure with the naked eye how many people there are. The difference between one thousand and two thousand may be quite obvious, but the difference between three thousand and four thousand is very subtle. At this time, Hugo could not make an accurate judgment, but what he was sure was that there were at least two thousand people in front of him, spreading densely in the various open spaces of the school. It seemed that it was possible that there were three thousand people.
At this time, the sun was already setting towards the west. The orange-yellow warm sunshine filled the entire campus with the smell of memories. The crowded scene in front of us reminded people of the grand occasion when the school held a celebration or a grand competition. The passion full of youth shone in the sun, causing the heart to stop suddenly, and then jumped violently. The sour and sweet excitement rushed around in the chest, and before I knew it, the nose felt a little sour, but the smile at the corner of my mouth opened the wetness in my eyes and bloomed proudly.
"Ahhhh..." The faces blurred by the sun burst out with great enthusiasm and screamed. The heat wave that was coming to face was in Miami in midsummer could not be compared. This huge air wave made Hugo and the three older men almost unable to stand firm.
"Surprise!" Carl said with a smile at Hugo who was stunned. This was really surprising.
In fact, when it comes to the madness of movie fans and fans, fans can always create more miracles. Movie fans calmly enter the cinema to express their support. The box office is the most hard-core support of the fans, but fans prefer to go to the scene to express their support with screams and shouts. In fact, this is also related to the differences in the performance methods of actors and singers, because the way actors communicate with the audience is the performance on the big screen, while singers can impress fans with singing on the spot.
But today, Carl and Joseph witnessed with their own eyes that movie fans can burst out with huge energy. Although this is Santa Monica Community University, the enthusiasm of college students is special and irreplicable, the surging crowd is still jaw-dropping. First, it is "smelling fragrance to recognize women", and then "Yihai Xiongfeng", which allows people to witness Hugo's handsomeness and strength. Now, a "Seattle Sleeping Night" that touches countless people has absorbed unimaginable popularity for Hugo, and it all explodes at this moment.
Hugo lowered his head and blinked, quickly wiped away the warmth in his eyes, and then smiled again to face the endless enthusiastic students in front of him. How hard-earned this support is, Hugo knows more clearly than anyone else, but this time, Hugo will not be complacent, he will cherish it more, just for the touch of this moment.
I originally thought that the crowds at the scene would flock to the crowd and leaving was a difficult task, but the college students in front of me surprised Hugo again. The playground, which was originally filled with crowds, had been vacant since a passage was vacant, just like Moses broke through the sea water and split a road, and the sea of people in front of me also vacant a road leading to the parking lot. The cement road covered with sunlight was more dazzling than the red carpet under the spotlight.
Hugo took a step forward, Carl and Joseph guarded each side respectively, and the group of three walked forward in a steady pace. The wave after wave of sound made Hugo's blood boil. He even seemed difficult to wave his hand, and could only repay such enthusiastic support with the brightest smile.
