The historical status and social significance of talk shows in American television programs are irreplaceable. Last November, in order to promote the female/audience market for the alliance, Lu Ke participated in the recording of the "Tonight Show" and completed his own talk show This time, he will participate in the live broadcast of another top popular talk show.
Yes, live.
"Saturday-Night-Live", the name of the program is simple and clear - a talk show broadcast live late at night on Saturday night, spliced together to become the current name of the program, this program produced and broadcast by NBC television, Since its launch in 1975, it has received huge ratings and continued to be talked about. It has become one of the longest-running programs in the history of American television. It is still popular and enduring to this day.
The biggest feature of this talk show is that it combines the hottest topics at the moment and uses spoof sketches to criticize current events. It can also be seen as a mirror of popular culture, mocking fast food culture, entertainment to death and other phenomena. Of course, because the program is broadcast late at night, the scale is relatively large, and the jokes are never lacking in topics and popularity.
Each episode of "Saturday Night Live" will have a guest performer and a musical guest, with a division of labor between the two.
The guest performers are often the most popular superstars at the moment. After all, there are only 24 to 26 episodes in a season of the show. The quality of the guests needs to be carefully controlled. There is even a "five-time host club" in Hollywood, which refers to those who can Being a five-time host of "Saturday Night Live" is a major endorsement, and Timberlake is a member of that club.
The guest performer will participate in the performance of the sketch, and the audience can see different sides of the guest. The most important thing is to learn to laugh at oneself and make fun of oneself, which is the basic ability based on talk shows; while musical guests are usually Popular singers during the promotional period will perform at the venue.
The most important thing is that the entire program will be broadcast live.
Of course, it’s not 100% live. A small number of sitcoms need to take into account special circumstances, such as the speed of actors changing costumes, or large-scale modifications and replacements of scenes. These sitcoms need to be recorded in advance, but generally speaking, only one or two sitcoms are like this. Yes, most programs are always broadcast live.
Therefore, during the live broadcast, the actors had no intention of laughing, which was also a very interesting thing.
It is precisely because of the live broadcast that "Saturday Night Live" is very busy during the broadcast season. It is broadcast live every Saturday. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are the time for the writers to write scripts-the program team has contracted regular actors. Some of them are talented comedians, and many of the scripts are written by themselves. The roles of screenwriters and actors are often reversed.
The following Wednesday and Thursday are rehearsals, and Friday is the final actual practice. At the same time, during the rehearsal process, if new hot topics emerge, they need to adjust the content of the script at any time.
The real thing is that the whole process is running at high speed without any rest time.
As performers, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the live broadcast, they need to arrive in New York at least two days in advance to rehearse with the entire program team; there are only very, very few special circumstances where the performers can only rehearse one day in advance, so the program team needs to prepare for the live broadcast Make adjustments, arrange supporting roles where the guest performers have no lines as much as possible, and put the main performance responsibility on your own regular actors.
Today is Wednesday, and Lu Ke made a special trip to New York for rehearsals.
As the top talk show in the United States, the biggest difference between "Saturday Night Live" and "The Tonight Show", "The Oprah Show", etc. is that those talk shows are mainly interviews and conversations. "Saturday Night Live" is mainly about performances and jokes, which also means that for many sports players, this is an excellent opportunity to show themselves.
Many of the top stars in baseball, basketball and ice hockey have appeared on the stage of "Saturday Night Live", and football is no exception. Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Tom Brady and others After winning the Super Bowl, he was invited to appear on "Saturday Night Live" as a guest performer.
This time it was Lu Ke's turn.
"Relax, relax, you will definitely perform very, very well! Bambi, you should believe in yourself. If you can show your usual two-way success, I am sure that all the audience will be crazy for you, just like the Super Bowl stage Same as above. You know what? I've been hearing your name everywhere I go these days, and I mean it, literally, in every city! Now you just have to be yourself That’s it! Really!”
Just after landing at LaGuardia Airport and waiting for his carry-on luggage, Lu Ke received a call from Curry.
Judging from the words, Curry is comforting and cheering Lu Ke; but judging from the tone, Curry is obviously gloating and preparing to watch the show: after all, such opportunities are rare.
Lu Ke said with a serious expression, "I swear, I will pave the way for you on the show and let people feel what a funny, lively and cheerful guy the famous Stephen Curry is. One day in the future, the talk show must invite you to appear on the show and witness your style."
"...Isn't it?" Curry suddenly panicked, "Brother, don't do this, you know I'm not suitable."
"Where." Lu Ke interrupted Curry's words repeatedly, "Just show your usual two-way ability, and the whole world will go crazy for you. I'm serious."
"..." Curry opened his mouth and was stunned. In the end, he could only cry and beg for mercy, "Bambi, I didn't mean it just now. It's really true. I'm also worried about you now. I'm really, really worried. "
Lu Ke laughed happily at Curry's voice, but now he had no time to continue chatting. He could vaguely hear the bustling noise coming from outside the arrival hall. If he continued to talk, Lu Ke would He began to shout, "You'd better prepare for the next game. Wait until I get back to San Francisco. It's really too noisy here."
Then he hung up the phone. When Lu Ke got his luggage, he pushed it away to prepare for the trip.
When he came to New York from Washington, Lu Ke refused to be accompanied by Vincent Camp. The reason why he arrived here early, besides rehearsing for the show, was that he wanted to take a leisurely look around the city, because this is New York, and also because This is where Candice has lived for several years.
At this time, it is the end of the four major fashion weeks - London, Milan, Paris and New York. Candice is still busy with her work in Europe and cannot fulfill her responsibilities as a landlord; but Lu Ke is still ready to explore this with his own feet. This city is just like when I first arrived in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Walking out of the arrivals hall, Lu Ke looked up and looked for taxi or subway signs above, preparing to take transportation to leave the airport. At this moment, a harsh and sharp cry came from his ears, "Bambi!" The excited and excited voice was trembling slightly, clearly expressing the owner's excitement.
Reflexively, Lu Ke followed the source of the sound and looked away, and then he saw a dark sea of people spread out in his field of vision, blocking the entire airport reception hall. It was just an estimate that he could see it. The surging crowds of more than three hundred people or more were like large dark clouds, completely blocking the view.
What exactly is going on?
Lu Ke raised his head again and looked at the sign on the ceiling. This was indeed New York, not San Francisco. So, where did the scene in front of me come from?
The craze for winning the championship has not completely dissipated. If Lu Ke appears on the streets of San Francisco, city residents will indeed cheer and shout for hero treatment. His popularity has always remained high. Even Jiang Youning and Lu Zhengze have repeatedly become the targets of people's warm greetings. In every aspect, people feel the close connection between the team and the city.
But that was San Francisco and this was New York. They were two completely different things. Lu Ke would not be so pretentious as to think that a Super Bowl championship would spread his supporters all over the world.
Now is not the best time to think about the problem.
The silver flashes came down like a downpour, sweeping in from all directions without leaving a single gap. Even though Lu Ke was wearing sunglasses, he could still feel the stinging and burning sensation caused by the ubiquitous flashes. The turbulent wave-like vibrations are burning on the surface of the skin, and the passion of the scene can be felt in every pore.
Immediately afterwards, screams and cheers came one after another to complete the final encirclement of the encirclement, completely blocking all Lu Ke's escape routes. The roar like huge waves hitting rocks continued to hit the eardrums. It was as if his eardrums had turned into a drum set, and then the drum beats fell down crazily, so much so that all the muscles in his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
In an instant, Lu Ke fell into the predicament of tinnitus and dizziness, and it was really difficult to move.
"Ahhh!"
"Bambi! I love you!"
"Lu Ke, you are the best!"
"Bambi, look here, here!"
"Ho ho ho! Ouch!"
Various screams were mixed with messy shouts, which invaded continuously. When the tinnitus subsided a little, those fragmented shouts revealed a rough outline. Only then did Lu Ke Gradually, I realized something was wrong. The scene was completely mixed with Chinese and English.
At first, Lu Ke thought he was delusional.
But after careful identification, Lu Ke finally confirmed that the Chinese pronunciation of "Lu Ke" did indeed exist. Could it be that the Asian group or even the Chinese group came to pick him up at the airport?
But is this really possible? The scale of the pick-up in front of you is definitely a superstar level even in Hollywood. It is really hard to believe your eyes!
