&89。 Channel 9, here is the kcrichael that sends out electric 'waves' from Santa Monica Community College. Silverblatt), welcome back to the afternoon conversation. Our guest today is Hugo Lancaster. Hugo, say hello to our audience. ”

"Hey, good afternoon, everyone, I'm Hugo Lancaster." In order to promote "Sleepless in Seattle", Hugo came to Santa Monica today to participate in the recording of a live radio broadcast.

In the United States, radio stations have always been one of the most popular media outlets, and in the eighties and nineties, this "one" could even be omitted. In the car, in the office, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, on the plane, on the beach...... The fact that the average American has more than two radios per American shows that radio is incredibly popular in the United States.

According to the statistics of the American Radio Listening Rate Testing Company, there are more than 10,000 large and small radio stations in the United States, and more than 94 percent of the people listen to the radio every week, and 77 percent of the people listen to the radio every day.

Even in key events like the presidential election, radio has an unparalleled influence, and for Americans, television is a means of entertainment, but radio is a part of life. In this country on wheels, every car has a radio, and radio programs have become the most important part of daily life inside the vehicle.

In fact, even in the 21st century, radio is still an indispensable part of the promotion of all artists, especially singers, the radio on-demand rate occupies a very important proportion in the billboard rankings, and the publicity effect of radio is often far more than that of TV programs, so radio propaganda culture is also a very important part of the American entertainment industry.

"Sleepless in Seattle" is actually a profile of the important position of radio programs in the United States today, so although Columbia Pictures did not arrange a lot of publicity for "Sleepless in Seattle", important radio publicity was still included in the itinerary. It's just that no one expected that this movie would achieve such a huge response, which also made KCRW Radio so excited that they almost fainted.

KCRE is a national comprehensive radio station, but the proportion of music will be slightly larger, Michael Silver' 'Bo' hosted a talk show is one of the station's trump cards, broadcast at two o'clock in the afternoon, with lazy sunshine and afternoon tea, the main listening group is still in the car listeners and college students, from 3 to 6 p.m. during the peak period of official road traffic jams.

Michael looked at Hugo, who was dressed casually, and smiled, "Today, a large number of movie fans gathered downstairs, looking forward to your arrival, do you feel the enthusiasm from the movie fans?" ”

"Oh yes, I have to thank some of the people who gathered at the 'gate' of the radio station to wait for me, and it was probably the largest lineup of welcome I have ever seen." Hugo said with a smile that because the live broadcast location of the radio station was in the community college, the pictures of all the college students all over the mountains were very shocking, although Hugo did not count them in detail, but today there were at least more than 500 people waiting for his arrival at the "door" of the radio station, which caught Joseph, who did not hire a bodyguard, off guard.

Obviously, no one expected this explosion of popularity to come so suddenly, and even after the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng", it was not so powerful. In the final analysis, it is because "Yihai Xiongfeng" is a drama, not a weapon to attract fans; And chick movies like "Sleepless in Seattle" are just a magnet for popularity.

"You know, I even saw the cheerleaders rehearsing a cheering dance for me, and I was flattered, and for a moment, I felt the excitement in the quarterbacks." It's summer vacation, and so many students from the community college are gathering for Hugo, which makes Hugo's mood like the sunny beach of Santa Monica, which is wonderful.

"I was sitting in the studio, and I could see the crowd outside from the window next to me, and I think there were a lot of people sitting in front of the radio, waiting for you." Michael glanced out, at least a thousand people came to the scene today, the 'playground' in front of the radio recording building was already crowded, the hot summer day could not stop the madness of the young people, the dense crowd spread from the 'shadow' shadow of the building to the end of the 'playground', the noisy scene could not be compared even on the day of the beginning of school, it was hard to imagine that these people were all here for Hugo alone. "Did you anticipate such a scene before the movie was released?"

"No, of course not." Hugo habitually grabbed his hair 'sexually', but then he realized that he had cut all his hair, and his hair was medium-long during "Sleepless in Seattle", and his hair was relatively long during "Schindler's List", but recently Hugo slowly began to control his weight while rehearsing in the band, and lost back the weight gained during "Schindler's List"; While shaving his hair into a round inch, he greeted the upcoming summer. Therefore, Hugo took over and only 'touched' a 'hairy' thorn, "I took this movie because I liked it very much, and now I am very happy to have so many viewers who can have the same idea as me." ”

This time, after the release of "Sleepless in Seattle", Hugo's popularity has increased by two to three times compared with the previous scale, although there are so many people on the scene today is largely due to the environment of the university, if you change places, it is estimated that there will not be such a grand occasion, but it is undeniable that Hugo's current popularity has more than doubled compared with "Yihai Xiongfeng", and the spectacular scene is really jaw-dropping.

Even though Hugo kept telling himself not to make the mistake of being complacent before, but seeing the crowd of people in front of him, his heart still set off a huge 'wave', it is hard to imagine that a movie can cause such a wide range of repercussions.

Michael 'touched' his half-bald sleek round head and took his eyes back from the surging crowd outside the window, "'Sleepless in Seattle' is a love story full of miracles, what made you choose this script?" Do you believe in love at first sight as you do in the movies? ”

Hugo pouted, "Well, I don't really believe in love at first sight, I believe in the incredible magic of love, and I also believe in the predestined traction between two strangers, but falling in love with a stranger right away is not my style." ”

Hugo's words made Michael laugh and joke, "At this moment, many 'women' and 'sex' sitting in front of the radio are going to be heartbroken, and they are still looking forward to having a meeting with you like in the movie." ”

"Hehe, maybe that's why I took this movie." The smile on Hugo's lips also raised, "Because I believe that love can create many miracles." Although love is not the whole story of life, it does have the ability to bring us many surprises. ”

"Magic, right?" Michael's voice is mellow and warm, and the deep baritone sounds especially good in the electric 'waves'.

Hugo nodded, and said at the same time, "Yes, magic." ”

"What is your favorite part of the movie?" Michael was still very conscientious, and in the first half of the interview, the topic revolved around the movie.

"How long is your show?" Hugo's rhetorical question made Michael laugh, and the director, staff, Joseph and others outside the recording room also laughed. "I mean really, it's actually my favorite moment, and it's hard for me to imagine Sam's inner turmoil when he said it."

"I have to agree with that." The smile on the corner of Michael's mouth still did not dissipate, and he nodded vigorously, "Although this sentence has a little sense of humor and ridicule, the deep meaning hidden behind this sentence is so 'wave'. Perhaps, that's what makes Sam's character so attractive. ”

"Isn't that my fault?" Hugo's good-natured ridicule made the laughter that had not subsided at the scene sound again, and at the same time, in front of countless radios across the United States, the audience couldn't help but smile. Although Hugo's appearance is not visible, Hugo's very recognizable voice makes people paint the scene in their minds, and the listening effect is very strong.

"Yes, of course it's you." Michael affirmed, "You only need to feel the enthusiasm of the fans waiting outside, and you can be sure that the infinite charm you give Sam this role 'color' has been affirmed by everyone." Next, we will test your charm for yourself, we will open the audience phone time, so that every listener has the opportunity to talk to Hugo directly, just like the moving telephone interview in the movie, we will let Hugo recreate it himself, and if you have any questions, please call our radio station. ”

After Michael got the positive gesture from the outside director, he began to carry out the most important part of the day, interacting with the listener's phone, but the calls from all over the country will need the answerer to filter the first dial, and then the director will decide whose call to cut, so there is a short air, Michael then looked at Hugo, "After the movie was released, did you feel the sudden explosion of popularity?" ”

"Of course, of course......" Hugo had just opened his mouth to answer, when he saw Michael looking outside in surprise, Hugo couldn't help but turn his head, and then saw the director standing outside, constantly making a series of gestures that he couldn't understand, and the staff around him who were standing quietly quickly began to get busy. Although he was curious about what was going on, Hugo continued to say into the microphone, "In the past few days, in the process of participating in the promotion, there have been many movie 'fans' following all the way, and I can even see my portrait and promotional banners appearing at the program recording site, this enthusiasm makes people deeply feel the support from the movie 'fans', which is really touching." ”

"Phew, I think your publicity itinerary is still too little." Michael lamented, "Because our telephone hotline has just been opened, it has been blown up, and all our hotlines have become real 'hot', and it seems that they are about to be melted by the enthusiasm of movie fans." ”

This is what the director just gestured to Michael? The hotline has been blown up, what kind of Cheng dù is this?
