147 come to an abrupt end
September 6th was an ordinary Monday, and the whole of North America was calm..
Last Saturday, the Emmy Awards just ended, and the new TV drama season is about to follow. However, the media did not even have time to take stock and rushed to Italy without stopping, because this year’s Venice Film Festival starts from September Opening on one day and continuing until the 11th, this is the end of the three major European film festivals this year, and it is also the outpost of the awards season in North America. Naturally, no media is willing to miss it..
Not only that, on September 9th, this Thursday, the Toronto Film Festival is about to kick off. Works dedicated to winning during this year’s awards season have made their debut, either in Venice or Toronto, as well as a small number of film crews. Both film festivals will take place, and the busy holiday season has just begun.
Therefore, this Monday, the mainland United States was relatively quiet..
William Taylor was a little sad at this time. A few days ago, the Toronto Film Festival announced the shortlist of this year's competition films, and "Buried Alive" was on the list. This made William eager to move. He wanted to go to Toronto and watch Renly's film for the first time. works.
However, he had just entered university and was still in the adaptation stage. He didn’t even know where the classroom was. If he started skipping classes now, he would probably be in trouble later. Or should he take advantage of the fact that the professor didn’t recognize him and sneak away to Toronto as soon as possible? trip? Otherwise there will be no chance in the future.
William scratched his head depressedly. This was really troublesome. He sighed and said, "Why isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?" He lowered his head, turned on his phone, and subconsciously clicked on the music as he was used to, and flipped through the daily smart push notifications. ’s new song recommendation, and then I saw a conspicuous name：
Renly-Hall.
William was startled. He jumped up and hit his head hard on the bedpost. He rubbed his head with a grin on his face, but he didn't have time to complain about the pain. He looked at the screen of his phone carefully. The first message he pushed read: , "Ophelia - Renly Hall", and then the fourth post was, "Cleopatra (arranged version) - Renly Hall”.
“ah! "William couldn't restrain his inner excitement. He clenched his fists and looked up to the sky and roared. This was definitely an unexpected surprise.！
A full week has passed since the Emmy Awards, and the discussion about "Ophelia" on YouTube has not only not calmed down, but has become more and more intense, with the average daily click rate remaining at 700,000. , even better than the performance of "Cleopatra" during the broadcast of "War in the Pacific", rising rapidly like a small rocket, and remaining among the top 20 single-day hits on YouTube for seven consecutive days. , the response far exceeded expectations.
As a ballad, "Ophelia" sparked far more discussion than anyone expected.
At first, people only cared about this single because of the gimmick. Whether it was a street performance after the Emmy Awards ceremony or an actor's crossover performance as a singer, this was a good topic. In addition, "Pacific War" "The shocking victory of Yong Yong as the King of Views only made people's flames of gossip raging - who is this newcomer who jumped out of the cracks in the stone?？
Some people even speculated whether Renly was a relative or an illegitimate son of a certain boss. Otherwise, how could he have won so much attention as a newcomer? First, he was given the opportunity to perform as the leading actor in "War in the Pacific", and then as Emmy. won the trophy, and then dominated the headlines with a street performance ballad.？
Is this all too much of a coincidence?？
People began to dig up Renly's family background, but unfortunately, with little success. There is no Facebook, no Twitter, and even the YouTube account is not his. There is also little information on the pages of Wikipedia and IMDB. It's so pitiful that there seems to be no trace left except "Pacific War" and "Cleopatra" - in this era of information explosion, netizens don't even know where Renly's hometown is? Is this normal? So abnormal！
Subsequently, "Buried Alive" soon surfaced. Such a Spanish independent film with an investment cost of less than 3 million instantly became the focus of attention, and all the working members of the entire crew were unknown. Even a layman knew that , this work has no future - this is contradictory. If Renly has a strong background, how could he star in such a three-no work?？
Amidst such controversy, a voice appeared on the Internet, saying that the speculations about Renly were false. He was just an ordinary actor without any so-called family background..
First of all, the reason why there is no actor information is because no one pays attention to it at all? After the broadcast of "Pacific War", HBO officials did not update Renly's relevant information, obviously not paying much attention to Renly; secondly, before the Emmy Awards, there was very little information about Renly, and he did not look like a family at all. The background is publicity and momentum, and the attitude of being determined to win the award. The upset is the authoritative professional recognition of the judges..
Thirdly, before starring in "Buried Alive", Renly had a half-year hiatus. If it is traced back to the completion of "Pacific War", then the hiatus would have exceeded nine months. He does not look like he has a family background. A person is just a helpless little actor; fourthly, the casualness of street performances is the most ironclad proof of reality. Those with financial backgrounds do not need street performances..
This voice has been supported by many netizens and seems to have the upper hand in this moderate controversy..
Originally I only paid attention to the video of "Ophelia" because of gossip, but soon real folk lovers began to show up one after another. They remembered the previous recommendation of "Mixer", which was undoubtedly The best affirmation of Renly's strength. First "Cleopatra" and then "Ophelia". The two ballads are of the same origin and of outstanding quality, and they easily touched the hearts of many fans..
At the same time, the official magazine of "Billboard" has produced a special feature in this issue to take stock of the new folk singles worth listening to in the past year, including "Cleopatra" ". Reporter Jordyn Nicole commented, "This is an eye-catching song. The flowing melody bursts out with powerful power in the poetic lyrics, with a touch of sadness and regret, just like the coldness. Like spring water, it flows into the soul. A noteworthy newcomer’s singing voice.”
This article recommended a total of twelve ballads, "Cleopatra" is only one of them. Nonetheless, "Ophelia" once again won the attention. First "Mixer", and then "Bulletin Board", that's enough！
Word of mouth began to spread gradually. Even those fans who had no interest in folk songs listened to the song by chance and expressed their likes, but unfortunately, they could not download the song! This is really disappointing！
People have a mentality that things are rare and valuable. Even if it is an ordinary thing, but it becomes a limited edition or out of print, the value will immediately increase exponentially. If you can't get it, you will want it even more. .This also gave birth to the famous "hungry marketing" in the marketing industry. Now, inadvertently, "Ophelia" has become the object of people's desire..
Why can't I download it? Why only uploaded one video? Why is there no full version of the song? Why not spread the word? Why is there even an unarranged version of "Cleopatra"? What's the trick here? What medicine was sold in Renly's gourd?？
Out of curiosity, "Ophelia" not only maintained a strong click-through rate and discussion on YouTube, but the number of cover videos gradually began to increase, and there were even cover singers who specially re-arranged the song to perform their own version. "Ophelia"; and it has also exploded with strong attention among enthusiastic netizens - some netizens actually deducted the audio track from the YouTube video, repaired it, and then used it as a sound source on the Internet shared it.
This is indeed rare in the United States, where copyright protection is extremely strict. After the audio source was shared, it was deleted in less than twelve hours. In the United States, it is illegal to share and disseminate such files - of course, hacker websites That's a different matter.
But even so, the popularity of "Ophelia" remains high, and this is just a small side..
Everyone is hotly discussing when Renly will release a single, and what tricks Renly is playing for not uploading a single. Many people are even speculating that this is a long-planned promotion. Activities, from the street performance after the Emmy Awards - no matter whether he wins the award or not, this is a gimmick, to the video upload of "Ophelia", this is a publicity plan. Next, Renly is likely to do it again Release a third single, or cooperate with a certain radio promotion to further arouse the public's appetite. After the curiosity reaches the extreme, he will make his debut as a singer..
At such a moment, the single "Ophelia" was uploaded without any warning, so low-key that it could almost be said to be silent, without any publicity, without any news, or even any movement, just so unremarkably. Uploaded, overturning everyone's conspiracy theory speculations, killing all suspense and all expectations calmly, as if all the previous preparations had come to an abrupt end here, making people excited and at the same time exciting. People are a little embarrassed——
If the craze is allowed to ferment for another two to three weeks, and the effect of hunger marketing can be maximized, then the single will be released, and the effect will be even better. But it has only been a week now, and it can be said that I can’t wait to release it. It's a failure.
However, this is the best news for real music lovers. They can finally enjoy the music they like. It has nothing to do with gossip or controversy, it is just pure music. For example, William.
William couldn't wait to click to download, not only "Ophelia", but also "Cleopatra (arranged version)", each single was only ninety-nine cents. After clicking to play, The wonderful sound quality made William smile broadly - maybe not being able to go to Toronto doesn't seem so bad after all..
