Timsy-Leslie habitually opened the page of Studio Eleven and began to look for Renly's latest developments. This has almost become a habitual action that he has adhered to every day for the past six months, and his brain does not need to think at all. , a series of actions are completed smoothly..
As a long-time professional music fan, since attending the "Pioneer Village Night" in New York last September, "Renly Hall" has been added to his list of favorite singers.”.
That night, he not only enjoyed Renly's music, but also the question-and-answer session, the live piano performance, and the improvised guitar session. All of them showed Renly's love for music, life, dreams, and love. Free understanding. This fascinates Timsi..
He knew that Renly was an actor. However, Renly could glimpse the integrity and character of an artist. This was so rare that he was even willing to go into the cinema to watch Renly's works, and I enjoy it and am full of praise. This is really unbelievable, but it is really happening. In the current year of 2012, such an artist can still be found.
So, every day, Timsi is looking forward to the latest news from Renly. Even if there is no movement, he is content with it - because artists are always like this, silently immersed in their own world, they can see ordinary people Space, time and dimensions that are incomprehensible, untouchable and incommunicable, and then complete the creation using artistic techniques and forms.
But deep down in his heart, Timsi was still looking forward to it, always maintaining.
“"A Concert by One Man", when Timsi saw the announcement, all his movements stopped in place. Thousands of butterflies flapped their wings in his chest at the same time. He was so excited that his whole body was about to explode. It took all the strength in his body to stop jumping up and shouting wildly..
Forcing myself to calm down, I made the announcement over and over again, over and over again, and then the corners of my mouth turned up..
He remembered the song from "Don Quixote," "Old Friend”.
The lyrics go like this, "On my shoulders, I carry the desolation of winter. I see you standing there, always sticking behind me, secretly reminding me that there are still people who care about me. But, my old friend, where are you? ? Oh, my old friend, where are you?？”
Involuntarily, Timsi hummed the fresh and moving melody. Inexplicably, his nose felt slightly sour. But he could express a touch of sadness in the simple words..
“I kept my promise, now it's your turn.”
This is a letter written to a specific person. It is not typed on a computer, but handwritten. After writing it in person, it is scanned and uploaded. In Renly's free and easy font, there is poetic nostalgia and smart sadness. , the affectionate call always makes people involuntarily start to chew carefully.
God, just by reading this invitation, Timsi's whole body began to tremble, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. His first reaction was: tell everyone, tell everyone who likes Renly's music, tell Everyone who feels the soul of the album "Don Quixote".
Madison Square Garden in New York is the most popular concert venue in the United States. There are 20,000 seats. If you are not careful, the attendance may be tragic, and it will become a huge laughing stock - imagine, 20,000 seats, the result is only Two hundred people in the audience, this will probably become the biggest joke in the history of American music..
Timsi needs to tell his friends that the more the merrier.
However, the fingers on the keyboard hesitated.
This letter was posted on Studio Eleven’s website without any press promotion, any related reports, or even any news. What does this mean? This means that this is a concert that truly belongs to one person, a concert that belongs to "every close friend". This invitation letter is sent to every listener who truly understands Renly's music..
This is not a commercial performance, nor a promotional performance. If Timsi publicizes it now, it may spread quickly. With 20,000 seats, the attendance may be 50% or even higher. Straightforward; but that's not Renly's style, nor is it the purpose of "One Man's Concert".
More importantly, deep down in his heart, Timsy didn't want to share this secret with others. It was like a secret that he and Renly knew together. Through the album "Don Quixote", he got a glimpse of it. I heard a hint of loneliness in the dreamer's heart, and also heard a hint of comfort in the artist's heart. Like Don Quixote, he sang lonely and brilliantly, regardless of whether there was an audience..
If there were only two spectators in the entire Madison Square Garden. One was him and the other was the partner invited by Renly. In this huge world, they were the only ones wandering in the world of music. How wonderful and happy it would be. One thing. Just like the whale in the depths of the sea.
The whale called Alice.
Normal whales have a chirping frequency of only fifteen to twenty-five hertz, but Alice’s chirping frequency is fifty-two hertz. Therefore, in the eyes of other friends, Alice is like a mute. Over the years, she has It is always alone. It has no relatives or friends. When it sings, no one hears it. When it is sad, no one pays attention to it. It is searching hard in the vast ocean..
“Timsy heard the fifty-two hertz frequency of "Don Quixote". He selfishly hoped that he was the only one who heard it; but he also paradoxically hoped that Renly was not alone in this world..
After much hesitation, Timsi resisted the urge and closed all the pages. He looked at the calendar on the wall and started counting down: there are still four days until the 16th..
Timsi is not alone.
Although Eleven Studio is a small independent workshop, they still have many loyal supporters. This announcement came out in silence, but it also spread quietly..
The strange thing is that no one spread it on the Internet. It seems that everyone knows it tacitly, silently hiding this invitation in their hearts, and then quietly looking forward to: Which familiar faces will appear in the garden on time? Woolen cloth? What strange new faces will appear?？
Even the Yahoo community was silent, as if this invitation had never appeared and no one had ever noticed it. In the Internet age, this is really rare and special. The album "Don Quixote" The influence may not be broad enough, but it is far-reaching enough..
“"One person's concert". After the invitation was officially issued, there was no waves, no movement, and no response. Therefore, it was completely impossible to predict what would happen next. On the day of the concert, how many viewers could gather in the 20,000-seat garden? Two hundred people? Or two thousand people?.
Furthermore, Studio Eleven has not even announced the ticket sales method for the concert. So far, there has been no movement at all on the major online platforms. No ticketing website or company has announced any ticket sales information about the concert. It seems that those ticketing companies I had no idea that the garden had arranged this concert..
this is incredible.
As the top concert venue in the United States, every day at the Garden is packed with schedules, not just concerts, but also a variety of sports competitions, public events, charity gatherings, etc., almost all year round. Even if it is an official venue holiday, all major ticketing companies are aware of it..
What's more, in the Internet age, online ticket sales are the main sales method for any performance, competition or event, accounting for 90% or even higher of the tickets sold..
Now, on February 16th, the Garden arranged a concert, but there was no response from the ticketing company. This is simply a fantasy..
In the silence, everyone seemed to have reached a tacit consensus: for this unique concert, we will queue up to buy tickets on site, returning to the most original, simplest and most direct way to buy tickets..
On the evening of the 11th, Studio Eleven released an announcement; on the 12th, there was no movement; on the 13th, there was no movement; on the 14th, the official website of "Entertainment Weekly" released major news.
“A temporary concert, is this a self-promotion show? Or is it a strategy to win sympathy?？
——Renly Hall, 'One Man's Concert' is about to take place, targeting Grammy.”
Without warning, this exclusive report written by "Entertainment Weekly", written by Cornell McGregor, dropped a bombshell and shocked the entire entertainment industry..
The article explains the whole story. Renly, who refused to admit that he was a singer, and who had never cared about the Grammys, announced a solo concert during the sprint for Grammy voting, just like Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by. As we all know, the intention of hype is really obvious..
The article also mentioned that after receiving the Berlin Silver Bear for Best Actor, Renly made a careful plan to return to the Academy PR during the awards season. This trajectory is eerily similar to the "no Oscar" incident a year ago. , obviously, whether it is retreating in order to advance, or taking the initiative to attack, the intention of malicious hype is fully revealed..
This news report not only exclusively reported on "One Man's Concert", surprising everyone with their glasses; it also further pushed this year's bustling awards season to a new climax. Renly, who was questioned, once again stood at the forefront of the storm：
Is he really hyping up maliciously? Concert, what the hell is going on?？
People who did not know the truth began to express their opinions and opinions one after another, but there is no doubt that the exclusive of "Entertainment Weekly" has a strong role in guiding public opinion and laid the foundation for the entire incident..
As Cornell said: If it wasn't grandstanding, if it wasn't malicious hype, if it wasn't deliberate, why did you choose to hold the concert at this critical moment? And it’s in Madison Square Garden, the most watched venue in the United States? If we didn’t book in advance, if we didn’t plan early, it would be an impossible task to temporarily find a space in the garden and hold a concert..
So, hype, convict？
