608 spark
There was still one street away from his destination, and Andy Rogers had to get out of the car because the crowd gathered on the street had occupied half of the lane. The traffic jam was so heavy that many vehicles chose to detour to the next block. The first thing in his mind was My first thought was: Could there have been a drunken brawl?？
Andy knows that Pioneer Village has never been a popular bar. Even on Friday and Saturday nights, when indoor seats are full and outdoor doors are lined up, the crowd is not too exaggerated, only more than a hundred people at most. That's all. But the scene in front of him completely stunned him.
Slowing down, Andy walked towards the Pioneer Village. From a distance, he could see at least fifty or sixty people gathered at the door. The door was blocked on three levels inside and three outside, but they were not there. The riot was just jumping, shouting, laughing, and screaming in place. The scene didn't look like a riot at all, but more like... a concert or a party night..
The entire door was blocked tightly. He looked around and couldn't find any gaps. Then he looked down at his body shape. So Andy stood aside resignedly and waited for the crowd to slowly disperse. But I was thinking about whether I should change to a different bar..
This afternoon and evening, three meetings ended one after another, and each one was an extremely important meeting that consumed countless brain cells. He needed to drink a glass of beer and relax. Compared to Los Angeles, the nightlife in New York is undoubtedly More abundant, but unfortunately, Andy's familiarity with New York is limited, and Pioneer Village naturally became the first choice. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a noisy night.
If we abandon Pioneer Village, are there any other suitable options in nearby neighborhoods?？
Andy was thinking about it, and then he saw an embarrassed figure squeezed out from the crowd. He staggered two steps and almost threw himself into the street. Andy's habitual smile couldn't help but rise a little, and he said jokingly, " It seems that the harvest tonight is not very good. Now in New York, it is not easy to drink a glass of beer..”
The figure who was about to fall, after regaining his balance, looked over at the sound, and then stood up straight calmly, not caring at all about the embarrassment just now, not even making small moves like pretending to tidy up his clothes. , Luo Luo walked over gracefully, stood firm next to Andy, turned around and leaned against the wall, looking like he couldn't straighten his back, "Nathan just called you too.？”
The person in front of me is none other than Roy Lockley.
Hearing this sentence, Andy's eyebrows frowned slightly. Roy did not catch such a small expression, but he did not hear Andy's answer. He raised his head and glanced, his tone of voice rose slightly, "You're not here for Renly? Then why are you here?？”
“Do you need any special reason to come to the bar on a Saturday night? Andy smiled casually, then looked at the surging crowd next to him again, and then he realized, "You mean, these people are all here for Renly."？”
“Yes." Roy did not show off and affirmed simply and neatly, "I just received the news and rushed here. I just found out that Renly is back in New York. Judging from your expression, you only know now? "Roy and Andy exchanged glances and couldn't help laughing..
The whereabouts of his own actors are a mystery, and their agents and managers are completely clueless. They even had to wait until fans and moviegoers had already gathered around them, and then they arrived belatedly. Such a situation sounds really incredible. , but it really happened. Roy and Andy’s smiles both had a hint of helplessness..
Roy had just talked to Nathan on the phone to understand the basic situation. At this time, he told Andy the future in a simple way, "So you tell me, is this a good thing?"？”
“Putting aside the two idiots who were kept in the dark, this is of course a good thing." Andy didn't forget to laugh at himself as he spoke, which made Roy smile, "I know the media will definitely say something about Renly again. It's malicious hype." Andy curled his lips, showing a trace of disdain, "But this time, let the media say whatever they want. We will give up media channels, but promote online speech, and completely follow the route of independent music and independent movies. , speak by word of mouth. Those who really like Renly's music will speak out; as for those who don't like it, let them do whatever they want..”
Regarding the album "Don Quixote", Andy and Roy were involved in the entire process from production to release, and both had a sufficient understanding of Studio Eleven's publicity strategy and Renly's attitude. Therefore, even if there was no communication, They also guessed that tonight's grand event in the Pioneer Village was an accident, but the media definitely didn't think so.——
They will only think that Renly once again took the opportunity to promote and create topics; he took advantage of the trend of the Toronto Film Festival to promote his album; or he used the album's gimmick to promote his new movie. What cannot be ignored is " Andy can even guess that some media will maliciously speculate about the news related to the sequel of "Fast and Furious", and Renly will use these news to put pressure on Universal Pictures..
What Andy wants, the media naturally wants too.
However, Andy does not plan to push it like this. Universal Pictures does not need to use "Don Quixote" to exert pressure. He has other plans. As for the "Don Quixote" album itself, Andy also respects Blue. Li's choice, fully cooperates with the promotion of Eleven Studio, steadily wins by word of mouth, abandons the mainstream commercial market, and targets those senior and professional music lovers..
Giving up the head-on conflict with the media and focusing all the attention on "Don Quixote", Andy believes that there will always be people who can understand the efforts and hard work of Renly and George, maybe not many, but they have already Enough, a single spark can start a prairie fire. In the long run, this is a good thing for Renly's professional image..
While talking, the crowd at the door of the bar began to become commotion, and people inside began to walk out. While people outside waited patiently, they began to walk in one after another. Just seeing such a scene, you can boldly describe it in your mind, Tonight's performance was so wonderful that so many people gathered at the door and refused to leave for a long time, just like loyal fans waiting outside the concert venue. Even if they couldn't see it in person, they still wanted to stand outside. Become one with all audiences.
Andy and Roy were waiting at the door, watching the crowds of people leaving in a steady stream. They were more and more surprised. It was hard to imagine that the small and exquisite pioneer village had swallowed up so many spectators. After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, the crowd outside had already Basically everyone went in, but the people inside kept coming out, like a bottomless pit..
After waiting for a while, the turbulence of the crowd finally eased, and the two people took steps forward. Walking into the bar, they could easily see Renly in the center of the stage, not only because the The spotlight easily gathered the line of sight in the dim room; and because there was a long queue next to the stage, the mighty team circled the stage. The goal was really too clear.
I walked up and took a closer look, and found that everyone was holding a "Don Quixote" album in their hands. Occasionally, I could see a small number of people who didn't have an album in their hands, holding a promotional poster - by the way You can see it by following the flow of the crowd. There is a large basket on the bar with a lot of rolled posters inserted in it. Those who forgot to bring the album, or have not purchased the album, or are just joining in the fun, Get a free poster anytime and sign it....
At this moment, the long line is of people waiting for autographs. Renly is sitting on the stage. What is in front of him is not a table, but a keyboard. There is also a guitar next to him, showing signs that the performance has just ended. This way It was simple, but people didn't care. They couldn't wait to step forward and hand Renly the album or poster in their hands. They were waiting for autographs and chatting happily. The scene was so lively..
Andy couldn't help but froze, and then heard Roy asking, "Has Renly ever held an autograph session?"？”
“No." Andy shrugged. After finishing speaking, Andy couldn't help but smile when looking at the scene in front of him..
Although he successfully opened up his popularity with "Fast and Furious 5", the time is still too short. So far, Renly has not really enjoyed the treatment of being surrounded by superstars, even at Sundance or Toronto. No, but I didn't expect that such lavish treatment would actually become a reality because of the album "Don Quixote". Is this unintentional?？
“Now I finally know why everyone had an orgasm on their face when they left." Roy's joking voice came, and the two exchanged glances, and both chuckled. Now it seems , the two seem to have begun to develop some tacit understanding..
“What I'm more curious about now is how wonderful the performance just was." Andy only said half of what he said, but Roy understood it immediately.：
It can make so many spectators stop at the door, unwilling to leave even if they can't get in; it can make so many spectators stay just to seek an autograph; it can make so many spectators' faces show excitement and excitement. ; Being able to make so many audiences cheer together for an album without any promotion... There is only one answer to explain, and that is tonight's performance.
“Maybe, you can start with the album's CD." Roy suggested that he personally handled the album contract. He not only listened to the complete album, but also purchased two copies privately. But even so, imagination cannot describe it. Footage of a live performance in Pioneer Village.
Andy didn't speak, but raised his chin meaningfully. But in his mind, he couldn't help but think of what Renly mentioned last time: a play in London's West End or Broadway. How much of the talent hidden in Renly has not yet been discovered? Coming out？
“Let's have a beer first." Andy looked at the surging crowd in front of him. There were at least fifty people in the team. "In a short time, this craze will probably not subside..”.
