244. the 244th chapter need shortcomings
"Good job, Sean, the effect is very good." After Sean finished his opening remarks, he came to the backstage and praised the staff. As for whether it was sincere or to deal with it, I don't know.
"Prepare for the next part now," a woman wearing glasses, with long brown hair and intellectual aura directed everyone, "I'll still see you next."
The last sentence was said to Sean.
"No problem, respected Ms. Tina Fee." Sean owed exaggeratedly.
"Don't be so slick." Although Tina smiled and patted him, she didn't stop for a moment when she turned around and left.
This woman named Tina Fei is only in her early thirties, but she is already one of the screenwriters and producers of "Weekend Night Live", and is also the editor-in-chief of the show. She joined "Weekend Night Live" in 1997, which shows how capable she is. Therefore, although she is not very beautiful, she is very elegant, and her calm and capable style is very attractive.
Unfortunately, she is already married, and even if Sean has any ideas, she can only give up. Among similar women, only Kate can make him do whatever he wants. Besides, looking at this woman's work, she is really calm, very serious, very picky, very control herself, and hardly does anything out of the ordinary. For example, a woman who is very rational and has a strong desire to control her needs, let's forget it.
When Sean was restrained, Tina also had a good impression of him, and the two got along well. Tina has Greek ancestry and held a wedding ceremony in the Greek Orthodox church in June this year, so she liked the movie "My Grand Greek Wedding". She had invited Sean to "Saturday Night Live" before. It can be said that at that time, Sean could be on the show immediately as long as she expressed her opinion.
However, we all know that unless there are special circumstances, the program team will not speak out on their own initiative. There are more actors who want to come to "Saturday Night Live", so things have been delayed. Until the emergence of "YOURAISEMEUP", the program team finally made an exception. Not only that, Tina, as the editor-in-chief, specially created a sketch for him after communicating with Sean.
As a guest host, in addition to being open-minded, he would also participate in various funny shows and play roles in them. These shows have a fixed team in "Weekend Night Live", and Sean is just one of the characters. For example, the current team is Will Ferrell, who previously partnered with Sean in the opening remarks, who looks quite similar to Ron Pullman, and Jimmy **** who interrupted and reminded him later.
Of course, these teams are not unchanged. Once they become famous, these actors will leave the show to develop themselves. For example, Will Ferrell has not appeared in several episodes of filming this year. Season 01-02 will be his last season in "Weekend Night Live".
Sean was quite hesitant when he first got the manuscript of this sketch because it was a bit too much... How to say it, it would be nothing if it was another time, but it is worth discussing now, but after reading his public relations, Richard Lesen, immediately suggested that he agree to it.
So the current situation was present. In a small house decorated in a recording studio, behind the glass wall, Sean was standing in front of the microphone and recording. He was singing at the top of his lungs, looking very devoted, as if he had poured all his strength. However, what was funny was that the sound of singing so hard was not complete.
But what is even more funny is that when the camera turns and switches to outside the glass wall, Jimmy ****'s tuner is frantically debugging on the keyboard, while Will Ferrell's producer is waving his hands passionately to hold the beautiful singing - indeed the beautiful singing. When the camera changes outside, Sean's tone-in-depth performance inside immediately becomes a beautiful singing.
Such a strong contrast, coupled with the suggestion that the sing is good, the tuner is good enough, a good tuner can make a guy with incomplete tone sing beautiful songs, so the hilarious feeling comes out. Especially Sean's hoarseness and intoxicated look, Farrell's extremely excited waving his arms, and sweating profusely pushing and pulling various keyboards on his forehead from time to time, it's so funny to interweave them together.
As it turns out, this joke is very good. After the broadcast of this episode of "Weekend Night Live", the ratings were several percentage points higher than usual. Although it did not exceed the highest ratings of this show, it was considered one of the very high episodes. Especially the joke that Sean sang in the studio was rated as the most fun and funny place in this episode on the official website of NBC and on the page of "Weekend Night Live".
Many people joked on the forum, such as "Shawn is not sound-free" and "Shawn is not as good as a tuner" and so on, which made him laugh. The funniest thing is that these jokes that were originally circulating on the Internet were found out by some tabloids, but they believed it to be true and used as a post. So, about Sean's song "YOURAISEMEUP" was so beautiful, and it was entirely the tuner's credit, and such news spread so much.
Of course, big newspapers with reputation will not be published - let alone big newspapers, even tabloids like the New York Post, will conduct some verification of such obvious nonsense news, and then consider whether it should be published. Therefore, although this news has been widely circulated, its actual influence is very limited. Who made Sean’s image so good?
However, there are still many people who hate Sean. They talk about this news with relish. No one can make everyone like him. However, Sean doesn't care. In fact, he even hopes that there will be more similar situations because-
"You have to have some shortcomings, Sean. People nowadays don't like perfection. They hate perfection because it makes people feel unreal. Only those with shortcomings are flesh and blood. This has become a consensus among people, so appropriately exposing some of their own shortcomings is beneficial to shaping the image." Public relations said to Sean after watching the script provided by "Wednesday Night Live".
Well, it is true. It is perfect to describe the development of superheroes in the comics. Superman was very popular when he was born. Justice and kindness, both a sense of mission and morality, and was simply a perfect embodiment. So the movie about Superman started in 1978, and each achieved considerable results.
However, by the late 1980s, the audience began to get tired of the tall Superman and began to turn to other superheroes, such as Batman with stronger dark elements. After the Batman craze passed, it was now the turn of surprise that the group of superheroes with various personality flaws appeared.
Sean has only been an actor for three years, but he has achieved many achievements that many actors may not achieve in their entire lives. This is a bit legendary. Because he became famous for too short, there are not many places to attack. In addition, he was searched twice by the media for his life. He turned it around once when he starred in "Genius Ripley" at the age of 20, and turned it over again when he released "YOURAISEMEUP", which defeated many singers.
So, it is well known about how he impressed Anthony Mingla after being widely reported last time, after causing storms in "YOURAISEMEUP", which is now well known. Although not every report is very detailed and there are many differences from the facts, the persistence of intentionally or unintentionally touched many people. This is simply the embodiment of the American Dream.
In addition, he discovered "My Grand Greek Wedding" with a keen eye and received generous rewards. Now he has produced songs like "YOURAISEMEUP", which has defeated many professional singers, actors, singers, and producers. He can do well no matter which one he makes, and is generous and enthusiastic about charity. He donated 12 million in two months after 9/11, which is really perfect.
You talk about scandals, yes, he does have scandals from time to time, and they are all women older than him, but this is no big deal. Which actor doesn't wear scandals? Moreover, in Hollywood, sister-brother relationships are common, and this negative news is not worth mentioning compared to his positive image.
When negative things are far lower than positive things, people will selectively ignore them, so he does need some shortcomings as public relations say. Otherwise, this popularity will not only disappear quickly, but those who spare no effort to attack him will also receive a lot of support, and maybe an opposition organization will be set up specifically to oppose him.
So Sean accepted the script of "Weekend Night Live" without reservation and performed even more exaggeratedly. Later, he also talked about his shortcomings in an exclusive interview with "Vanity Fair".
"Persistence is indeed my advantage. If I wasn't so persistent at that time, there was no one that had to stick to it. Maybe I had changed my career and did something else and wouldn't be in front of you now. As I once said, I started as an actor just to solve life problems. But sometimes I would become paranoid and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I am a little perfectionist, and I often want to do it perfectly, but in fact nothing can be perfect. So every time I realize this, I feel very frustrated, and sometimes I lose my temper. Fortunately, my agent and my friends are very patient and understand that I support me, otherwise I will definitely become that kind of arrogant maniac that many people hate." Facing the reporter of "Vanity Fair", Sean talked so well.
