Movie Box Review

ABC was once again king of New Year's Eve, averaging a 3.0 rating with Adults 18-49 from 8-11 pm.  The evening began with New Year's Rockin' Eve: 40th Anniversary Party from 8-10 pm and a very solid 2.4 rating.  The special, hosted by the combination of Jenny McCarthy in Times Square and Fergie in a Hollywood studio, looked back at past musical performances from the Rockin' Eve show, as well as new live performances.  But then at 10 pm, ABC scored a 4.1 rating from 10-11 pm with Dick Clark's Primetime New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest.  Ratings from the 11:30 pm Rockin' Eve special itself (featuring the Lady Gaga, the dropping of the ball at midnight, and of course the now traditionally odd and sad appearances by Dick Clark himself) are not yet available, but they surely dominated the competition.  The 40th anniversary all-primetime strategy worked like a charm.  Last year on this night: ABC started with a low-rated movie from 8-10 pm and a 1.4 rating, followed by a 2.8 rating for the 10 pm Rockin' Eve primetime special.

NBC was the only network to try to take on ABC...with little success.  The 10-11 pm NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly averaged a melancholy 0.9 rating.  While Carson Daly was live in Times Square, most of the music performances appeared to be taped and far from the action (Rockefeller Center and the top of a building on Fifth Avenue).  The special was not helped by its lead-in: two Grimm repeats (0.5 at 8 pm and 0.4 at 9 pm).  NBC's New Year's took a pretty big drop from last year.  Minute to Win It repeats averaged a 0.9 from 8-10 pm last year on this night, while the Carson Daly special turned in a 1.2 rating.

The only good news for NBC was that the giant billboard for Smash was in full view of many ABC cameras.  No one watched Carson Daly, but there were millions of exposures of the Smash title and the "Monday after the Super Bowl on NBC" tagline. 

CBS averaged a 0.6 last night (the same as NBC's average) with a play of the movie The Bourne Ultimatum and a How I Met Your Mother repeat.  Last year CBS was more successful, scoring a 0.9 for the night with crime drama repeats.

FOX averaged a 0.5 rating from 8-10 pm with two Terra Nova repeats, a touch lower than it did last year with a movie repeat (0.6 rating).

Donnie Yen Chi Tan for the Lunar New Year film ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2012 (BAK SING PO HEI) played a rocker and let go along with co-star Sandra Ng Kwan Yu for comedy.  After his earlier rock look his new song's music video was released today to celebrate the New Year.

Chi Tan with long hair and a guitar reprised Sam Hui Koon Kit's classic hits GENIUS AND IDIOT and GENIUS IDIOT DREAM and was quite a pleasant surprise.  Even his wife Cissy Wang joked, "I have never seen my hubby like this!"  She joked that with just a glimpse she thought Chi Tan changed nationalities.

Chi Tan who changed from his always serious ways was very satisfied with his look.  "Originally when boss (Raymond) Wong Pak Ming asked me to play this character, I was supposed to be a soccer player.  However I regained my confidence in music so I suggested the change to a rocker.  I spent two months before the shoot on guitar practice, my friends said that I played convincingly.  Hopefully viewers would like
it."

Reportedly, Wong Pak Ming was interested with the film's DVD release to release a solo record for Chi Tan to fulfill his singer dream.  Chi Tan humbly said, "This time I am just messing around so I have no pressure, but I really never thought about invading the music scene.  I don't think I am ready yet."

Actually when Chi Tan was working on television he already performed a series theme song.  More than a decade later, he again returned to the studio for acting.  Chi Tan still thought it was refreshing.  "Hui Koon Kit is a singer who I have always admired.  Being able to sing his work, I am very happy.  (Will you compete for the music rookie award next year?)  I wouldn't mind, but the most important is for viewers to see my sincerity."
