142 rocket soar
“So, are you still planning to go to the studio to record? Or are you planning to make plans after signing a contract with a professional music agent? If necessary, I can make a few calls now." Andy still had a Maitreya-like smile on his face, although Renly closed his eyes tightly and couldn't see it at all..
Renly could feel the gritted teeth in Andy's words. He waved his hand casually, "Why are you in such a hurry?" That unhurried attitude almost made Andy unable to change his mind in one breath, "At least, I need to do it first. Take a wash." After saying that, Renly stood up calmly and walked towards the bathroom with a lazy pace..
Watching Renly disappear from the bathroom door, Andy let out a long breath to calm down his turbulent mind..
He also knew that he had lost his composure today. The most important thing was that in less than forty-eight hours, there had been too many surprises..
Before the Emmy Awards, he had just accepted Renly's agency job and didn't have enough time to expand his business, so he set his first goal at the Toronto Film Festival. But who knew that last night's awards ceremony would bring a surprise? , Renly's winning of the prize disrupted the rhythm, and there was even a rookie mistake of not receiving Renly's prize..
At the celebration banquet that followed, Renly's position naturally changed significantly, and many top producers and actors in the industry arrived at the scene. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Renly. In history Under the intentional guidance of Steven Spielberg, Andy took Renly to meet many big-name people - and ended up getting drunk..
Then this morning.
Accidents come one after another, and mistakes follow one after another. Although they are all small mistakes, for Andy, these mistakes are avoidable. This is also the reason why his mood begins to become restless. Now, he must let himself Calm down, regain his original rhythm, and make the most accurate arrangements in the shortest time. He will not miss this excellent opportunity easily..
While Renly was washing up, Andy turned on the desktop computer in the hotel room..
If it were any other agent, Renly was not only a newcomer, but had just signed a contract a few days ago. They might have just agreed on a hotel room and dealt with the Emmy first; but Andy had the foresight to book the Sunset Tower. The hotel's luxurious suite is the first step in Renly's image project. Now it seems that this decision is undoubtedly the right one. Not to mention whether there are reporters waiting downstairs, it is much easier for him to handle work now..
Opening the YouTube channel again, the video of "Ophelia" has actually entered the top 20 popular videos. The popularity bonus effect of the Emmy Awards is very obvious, and the rapid rise is far beyond expectations - what people are paying attention to is not A busking show, but one performed after an Emmy winner ditches a celebratory party.
Andy felt that he still knew too little about Renly. Although he knew about the single "Cleopatra" before, it was just a popular video on YouTube, and one such video appeared every day. There are a lot of them, and the single's performance on Billboard is mediocre. It's more like a guest appearance for fun, not worth mentioning. But now it seems that Renly's experience in the Pioneer Village has more things worth exploring..
Suddenly, Andy remembered something. Renly was born in London's West End and Broadway. So besides stage plays, has Renly ever starred in musicals?？
If possible, he could definitely take on a stage play for Renly - or a musical. From the perspective of outsiders, choosing London's West End and Broadway is a thankless job that won't attract much attention. The income is really poor, but only true insiders know that starring in stage plays is an absolute plus point for academics; once you win the Tony Award, it is equivalent to setting up a sign in Hollywood - outstanding strength and solid basic skills. signboard.
Hugh Jackman (Hugh-Ja) became famous in Hollywood with the role of "Wolverine". Logically speaking, commercial movies and animation roles are the things that the academy hates the most. But in fact, the academy has always treated Hugh Jackman I have a lot of preferences. Ultimately, it’s because Hugh has worked hard on Broadway for a long time and has a Tony Award..
Andy's thoughts immediately spread out, and he was slightly excited. He was looking forward to Renly's final limit more and more..
Immediately, Andy put back his chaotic thoughts and typed "Cleopatra" in the search window of YouTube. He originally planned to see the current click trend of this video, but unexpectedly, a lot of them popped up on the page. Related videos, this was really unexpected.
Taking a closer look, Andy raised his eyebrows, and the surprise in his eyes became more intense - these related videos were actually cover videos！
Social networks led by YouTube and Facebook are changing people’s lives. In 2008, Justin Bieber’s emergence on YouTube became a brand new symbol of the Internet era in the new century. In the past two years, , Justin swept across the army as an idol, and his popularity was astonishing, almost becoming a cultural phenomenon.
After that, cover singing became a new popular trend. Many people who dreamed of singing would release their cover videos one after another, hoping to win the favor of big-name agents or record companies. There was even a new trend on the Internet. Make a living by recruiting professional cover singers.
However, these cover experts are not good at covering any song. In order to attract enough attention, their cover choices are also particular. They are either immortal classics that have been sung for a long time, or the latest popular new songs from top brands. Only In this way, people will click in to watch. If they just cover some independent music that no one has heard all day long, they are destined to be unable to get ahead..
Now, at this very moment, there’s actually a cover video of “Cleopatra”? This was even more popular than the exclusive news from "American Weekly". Andy felt that the development of the matter seemed to be far beyond his expectation..
An independent song without a channel, an eccentric folk tune, an obscure melody that didn't participate in any publicity or even a music video, and yet someone is willing to cover it! This is absolutely abnormal！
Andy clicked in to take a look. His knowledge of music was relatively limited, but he had heard of some famous YouTube cover artists, because some cover artists had become opening guests at concerts of big-name singers, and even performed with famous singers. The record company successfully signed the contract.
The one with the highest click-through rate is Connor Maynard (Aynard). This young British singer is only seventeen years old this year, but his personal channel on YouTube already has more than 400,000 subscribers. It can be said that he is very popular. A famous cover artist, he not only covered "Cleopatra", but also "Ophelia". Both songs were uploaded less than an hour ago, but at this time, both songs have exceeded 80,000 views. , the attention and momentum are really shocking.
Ranked second is a female singer, Tiffany-Alvord. This little girl is only 18 years old. She became popular for covering Taylor Swift’s songs. Subscribe to her personal YouTube page With a population of 250,000, she is also one of the most popular cover singers at present. What she is best at is undoubtedly lyrical minor tunes. Under her interpretation, "Cleopatra" has an extra sense of sadness and sadness. , like a fresh little poem. The video was uploaded only 20 minutes ago, and the click rate has already exceeded 10,000. The upward momentum cannot be underestimated..
The development of things not only exceeded expectations, but also the momentum was quite unstoppable. When I returned to the home page, the live video of "Cleopatra" had also ranked among the top 20 popular videos. Philia" even ranked among the top ten.
Andy realizes that he now needs to recalibrate his assessment.
It is conceivable that if "Ophelia" is released as a single in the next week or two weeks, it will definitely achieve outstanding sales results; but as an agent, as Renly said, Andy is more inclined to What he cares about is not the single performance of "Ophelia", but the positive impact that the topic effect can bring..
For example, the single sparked heated discussions, and coupled with the surprise win at the Emmy Awards, Renly's chances of attending a talk show skyrocketed. Otherwise, as a new actor, even with the support of the Emmy Awards, Renly would not be able to attend talk shows. It is also difficult to attend a talk show alone. Once Renly can appear on the TV screen, then the promotion of "Buried Alive", an independent work with no foundation, will immediately open up the situation..
For another example, the topical effect of performing a street performance after the awards ceremony spread throughout the industry. This is far more interesting than "the Emmy Award winner for Best Actor in a Miniseries and Television Movie". Word of mouth spreads It can be discussed as an interesting anecdote. Next, whether it is an independent film or a commercial film, it will be much simpler when Andy looks for acting opportunities for Renly..
Therefore, what Andy needs to consider most now is not the Toronto Film Festival, which is about to kick off next week, but how to maximize the wave created by "Ophelia" as much as possible before heading to Toronto. Utilize the characteristics of rapid communication on the Internet to achieve the goal.
After thinking about it, Andy rummaged through his cell phone address book, searched for a while, and then dialed a number. After just waiting for a short while, the other party picked up the phone, "Hey, Qiao Ding, It's me, Andy Rogers." On the other end of the phone was Jordin-Nicole, a reporter for Billboard magazine）.
Corresponding to Billboard every week, "Billboard" magazine is also a fashion vane. They weaken the professional authority and try their best to report on the pop music market based on popularity, popularity, popularity and other indices. They are very popular among teenagers..
”Ha, I didn't expect that I would call you..." Faced with the teasing on the other end of the phone, Andy regained his usual demeanor and joked back leisurely..
