Best Actor

Vol 2 Chapter 129: saturday night live

    Sean's suspicion is not wrong. In his previous life, there was indeed a song called "YOURAISEMEUP", and even the arrangement and lyrics were not much different from the song he sang now.

    The song in the previous life was the work of the Irish band Mystery Garden. They also got inspiration from the Irish folk song "Danny Boy", and then first arranged the support music, and then one of the band members read a certain The Irish writer's novels are very good, so I invited the other party to write the lyrics, and this is the song "YOURAISEMEUP".

    The interesting thing is that this song in the previous life was a song from the Mystery Garden, which has not been on the charts in North America, and has nothing to do with the 9/11 incident. However, after it was spread, it was quickly accepted by many people, and the melody and lyrics were indeed very moving, so it was played by the Americans as the song that best represents the 9/11 incident, and attracted many singers to sing.

    Sean's version of "YOURAISEMEUP" is also based on the folk song "Danny Boy", and Jason Dano who wrote the lyrics, because of Will Delong's hymn pattern, also refers to Based on the biblical story of **** walking on the sea, there is a gospel song that is similar to the previous life.

    The previous life "YOURAISEMEUP" spread to the United States a long time after 9/11, and it is still quickly sought after, not to mention that it is now sung by the Americans themselves, and it is so close to 911, so it has just been Released in early November, it miraculously dropped to the top of Billboard's top 100.

    Sean's fame has also risen a lot, and "Rolling Stone" and other pure music magazines are not good at first reporting him as a famous actor but released a single, but he still achieved such a huge success Other media do not need this, otherwise there would be no report in the New York Post.

    As a result, he began to be an actor in 1998, and then became famous with "The Genius Ripley" and became one of the youngest Oscar nominees. Although there are no conspicuous works this year, the investment and production of "My Big Greek Wedding" has swept 270 million box office in North America, becoming the most successful romantic comedy in North America, and has received almost 400 million box office worldwide. .

      It's the one with the protagonist template. Although the American people don't understand this, the name Miracle Kid, which was only circulated in Hollywood circles before, has spread like wildfire, and with the extensive media reports, it has become a talking point for ordinary people.

    In addition, he donated 5 million yuan at one time before, and then donated 7 million yuan intermittently in two months. So not only did his fame surge, but he was so good that he was praised by almost everyone, so much so that the New York Post wanted to habitually ridicule one or two, but it could only use a roundabout way.

    "Anyway, I've already fired my first shot, why can't I continue?" Sean brought the topic back again at this time, as if he didn't feel that he wasn't flirting enough.

    "Don't forget, your voice is not very distinctive, so maybe you may attract attention with "YOURAISEMEUP" for a while, but it won't last for a long time," Frederick said plausibly, "I don't believe it You can't see that."

    Then, he sighed in a different tone: "Of course, if you want to swallow your own words and say that you didn't say it, and the single is just for the sake of it, then I have nothing to do. "

    This guy... Sean rolled his eyes: "Then why are you so happy?"

    "Because of fame, now everyone knows your lucky boy's name," the agent spread his hands, his face almost blooming with laughter, "Fame means value, and fame means Interests, a few days ago, "Saturday Night Live" took the initiative to invite you to host an opening show."

    "Saturday Night Live? Hosting the opening remarks?" Sean raised his eyebrows in surprise.

    "Saturday Night Live" is one of NBC's long-lasting trump cards. From its launch in 1975 to the present, its surprising humor and spoof style have always been very popular, and it has gathered a large number of Fans, one of the longest-running shows in the United States, has also cultivated many comedy stars, such as Adam Sandler.

    Each issue of "Saturday Night Live" will invite celebrities to serve as guest hosts. From the beginning of the episode announcing the beginning of this issue, to the various sketches after that, we must try our best to be funny and be able to serve as a guest host The stars of the show can attract the attention of the audience in a certain way, and ordinary actors can also make cameo appearances in the show, as long as they have time. Katie is said to have been responsible for laughing in a part of "Saturday Night Live" in February this year.

    Sean knows that Frederick has always wanted him to host once, but since the beginning of this year, he has been running around in various crews and has no time at all, so the agent can only do it again and again Time and again, the plan has been postponed. However, what I didn't expect is that until now, because the single released by Sean caused a huge sensation, the other party actually took the initiative to invite him, and he was very attentive.

    The "Saturday Night Live" show is a trivial matter, and the information revealed here is a major matter. Other stars and other actors, if they want to host this show as the opening remarks, more or less actively contact the crew. It can make the crew send out invitations, especially now that relying on one excellent TV series and reality show one after another, NBC, which is still ranked first on the four major TV stations, is at least at the level of Tom Hanks. Sean's current The popularity can be imagined.

    "I'd love to host, but there's a problem here." Sean spread his hands and looked at Frederick embarrassedly, "I still want to shoot an MV."

    In simple terms, the release process of a song is to first release it on the radio and hit the charts. If the results are good, an MV will be launched on the TV to maintain the popularity and better promote the song. However, when it was released before, no one thought it would be so popular, and since Sean made it at his own expense, naturally he didn't think about the MV at all, so now the new wave of publicity simply can't keep up.

    In this case, the record company that helped to release and made a fortune by accident immediately suggested to make a remake immediately to keep the song popular.

    But when Sean got it here, he didn't really want to shoot a MV. Since the song was unexpectedly popular, the MV must be well-made, although it won't be a song like MJ. Song can drop 7 million, but there is no need to make it so urgent, so he is actually running on his agent on purpose.

    Who knows, Frederick is completely unintentional: "The time has been set for November 17th, of course, we have to go ahead and record, NBC has a studio in Burbank - of course, you have to If you don't come, I can't do it."

    This guy... Depressed Sean was speechless, he really had to use rogue tricks to deal with rogues.

    In this case, Sean appeared on the "Saturday Night Live" studio on time. Although NBC's headquarters is in Manhattan, it also has a studio in New York, but in order to facilitate the production of the program, so Los Angeles Burbank has it too.

    "Good evening, everyone, I'm Sean Tang, I will bring you a new issue of "Saturday Night Live"." With the music, the smiling young man, Step out of the prop door in the standard SNL opening mode.

    The so-called standard feature refers to a classical-style sliding door, with bands standing on both sides for the soundtrack of funny speeches - usually talk shows will have such bands, but most of them are behind the scenes or beside them , will not appear in the camera, which is probably the difference of "Saturday Night Live".

    "I'm sorry I came out a little late, because I suddenly don't know how to introduce myself. Is it a singer? Or an actor?" Voice.

    Since the release of "YOURAISEMEUP" and its popularity, a group of tabloids led by the "New York Post" began to make a fuss about it, thinking that as an actor and Oscar nominee Sean, now But running to sing is completely unprofessional. In fact, it is very normal for actors to release records. For example, after the release of "Moulin Rouge" starring Nicole Kidman this year, she released albums related to movies, and Keanu Reeves simply kept a Only the orchestra.

    It's just that such "non-professional" actors don't sing very good songs, and they can't make much waves after they are released, so most people don't care. It's not like Sean, although it's only a single, it has caused such a strong response, and even overshadowed many big-name singers, plus his qualifications are still relatively low, it is no wonder that the tabloids will treat him like this.

    "I spent a few minutes thinking about it, and found that this is really a problem, it seems that none of them are good, so I just give up on this." Sean continued, and then the audience below A voice came: "Wait, I remember you said you were an actor before."

    Then a middle-aged man with a slightly longer face and eyebrows almost touching his eyes jumped out, and he looked very unhappy.

    "Did I say so?" Sean blinked.

     "Of course, I heard it with my own ears, Sean, how can you deny it now?"

    "It's not that serious, Will?" Sean opened his eyes wide and looked startled.

    "It's so serious, hurry up and apologize to everyone." The middle-aged man named Will said immediately.

    "But I'm not just an actor." Sean wanted to plead.

    "But you are not just a singer." The other party replied.

    So the two of them started arguing on whether Sean was a singer or an actor. All kinds of tangled words, coupled with exaggerated body language, made the audience laugh.

    This was until another young man ran up the stage: "Hey Sean, why can't you be a singer and an actor?"

      Dao: "Welcome to today's "Saturday Night Live"."

    Suddenly, there was another burst of laughter.
