On September 6, an ordinary Monday, the whole of North America was calm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Last Saturday, the Emmy Awards just ended, and the next year's TV drama season will follow, but the media didn't even have time to take stock, and rushed to Italy non-stop, because this year's Venice Film Festival opened on September 1 and lasted until the 11th, which is the end of the three major film festivals in Europe this year, and also the outpost for the awards season in North America, naturally no media wants to miss it.

Not only that, but this Thursday, September 9, the Toronto Film Festival is also about to kick off, and the works dedicated to this year's awards season will be on the stage, either Venice or Toronto, and a small number of crews will appear at both film festivals, and the busy holiday season has just begun.

So, this Monday, the mainland of the United States was relatively quiet.

William Taylor was a little sad at this point. A few days ago, the Toronto Film Festival announced the shortlist of this year's competition films, and "Buried Alive" was impressively listed, which made William want to go to Toronto and watch Lan Li's work for the first time.

However, he has just entered the university, he is still in the adjustment stage, and he does not even know where the classroom is, and if he starts skipping classes now, he will probably be in trouble in the future -- or should he take advantage of the professor's lack of knowledge and hurry to Toronto?

William scratched his head in frustration, it was so nerve-wracking. sighed, "Why isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?" drooped his head, turned on his phone, and according to his habit, he subconsciously clicked on the music, flipped through the new song recommendations pushed by the smart every day, and then saw a conspicuous name:

Blue Rite Hall.

William was startled, the whole person jumped up directly, his head hit the bedpost hard, he rubbed his head with bared teeth, but he didn't have time to cry out in pain, he looked at the phone screen carefully, and the first one pushed, impressively, wrote, "Ophelia - Lanli - Hall", and then the fourth one pushed was, "Cleopatra (arranged version) - Lanli - Hall".

"Ahh

It's been a whole week since the Emmy Awards, and the discussion about "Ophelia" on YouTube has not only not calmed down, but has also become more and more intense, with an average daily click rate of 700,000 per day, even better than the results of "Cleopatra" during the broadcast of "Pacific War".

As a ballad, "Ophelia" sparked far more discussion than expected, something that no one expected.

At the beginning, people only cared about this single because of a gimmick, whether it was a street performance after the Emmy Awards ceremony, or a performance by actors and crossover singers, this was a good topic, plus the "Pacific War" upset and won the emperor, which made people's gossip even more blazing - who is this newcomer who jumped out of the cracks in the stone?

Some people even speculate whether Lan Li is a relative or illegitimate child of a certain bigwig, otherwise how could he win so much attention as a newcomer, first as a leading actor in the "Pacific War", then an Emmy Award to win the trophy, and then with a street performance ballad to occupy the headlines?

Isn't all this too much of a coincidence?

People began to dig into Lan Li's family background, but unfortunately, with little success. There is no Facebook, no Twitter, not even a YouTube account, and there is very little information on the pages of Wikipedia and IMDB, and it seems that there is no trace of it except for "Pacific War" and "Cleopatra" - in this era of information explosion, netizens don't even know where Lan Li's hometown is? Is this normal? It's so abnormal!

Subsequently, "Buried Alive" soon surfaced, and such a Spanish independent film with an investment cost of less than three million instantly became the focus of attention, and all the working members of the entire crew were unknown. Even a layman knows that this work has no future - this is a contradiction, if Lan Li has a strong background, how could he star in such a three-no work?

Under such controversy, a voice appeared on the Internet, saying that those speculations about Lan Li were false, and he was just an ordinary actor without any so-called family background.

First, isn't the reason why there is no actor information because no one pays attention to it at all? After the broadcast of "Pacific War", HBO officially did not update the relevant information of Lan Li, obviously not paying too much attention to Lan Li; second, before the Emmy Awards, there was very little information about Lan Li, and it was not at all like a family background to promote and build momentum, and the ironclad attitude of winning the award was an authoritative professional recognition of the judges.

Thirdly, before starring in "Buried Alive", Lan Li had a blank period of half a year, if it is traced back to the completion of the "Pacific War", then this blank period is more than nine months, no matter how he doesn't look like a person with a family background, he is completely a helpless young actor; Fourth, the casualness of street performances is the most ironclad evidence of reality, and those with a net worth background do not need street performances.

This voice has been supported by many netizens and seems to have the upper hand in this small controversy.

Originally, I just paid attention to the video of "Ophelia" because of the gossip, but soon real folk lovers began to emerge one after another, and they remembered the previous recommendation of "Mixer", which is undoubtedly the best affirmation of Lan Li's strength. First "Cleopatra" and then "Ophelia", the two ballads are in the same vein and outstanding quality, and easily touched the hearts of many fans.

At the same time, the official magazine of "Billboard" has produced a special feature in this issue, which takes stock of the new folk singles worth listening to over the past year, including "Cleopatra". Journalist Jordyn Nicole commented, "This is a dazzling song, the flowing melody bursts out of the poetic lyrics, and the faint sadness and regret flow into the heart like a cold spring." A newcomer's singing voice worth noting. ”

This article recommends a total of twelve ballads, and "Cleopatra" is just one of them. Still, it was Ophelia that once again won the spotlight. First the "mixer", then the "billboard", and that's enough!

Word of mouth began to spread gradually, and even those fans who had no interest in folk songs listened to the song by chance and expressed their likes, but unfortunately, they couldn't download the song!

People have a mentality that scarcity is expensive, 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, then you will be even more desired. This also gave birth to the famous "hunger marketing" in the marketing industry. Now, inadvertently, "Ophelia" has become the object of people's desire.

Why can't I download it? Why is there only one video uploaded? Why is there no full version of the song? Why is it not promoted? Why is there an unarranged version of "Cleopatra"? What is the grudge in this? What kind of medicine is sold in Lan Li's gourd?

Under the curiosity, "Ophelia" not only maintained a strong click-through rate and discussion on YouTube, the cover videos gradually began to increase, and even cover singers specially rearranged the music to perform their version of "Ophelia";

This is indeed rare in the United States, where copyright protection is extremely strict. The audio was deleted less than twelve hours after it was shared, and in the United States, it is illegal to share and distribute such files — not a matter of hacking websites, of course.

But even so, the popularity of "Ophelia" is still high, and this is only a small aspect.

Everyone is talking about when Lan Li will release the single, what tricks Lan Li is playing with if he doesn't upload the single for a long time, and even many people are speculating that this is a long-planned promotional campaign, from the street show after the Emmy Awards - whether it wins or not, it's a gimmick, to "Ophelia" Video upload, this is all a publicity plan, and next, Lan Li is likely to break out the third single again, or cooperate with a radio station to further arouse the public's appetite, and after the curiosity reaches the extreme, he will make his debut as a singer.

At such a moment, the single of "Ophelia" was uploaded, without warning, so low-key that it could almost be said to be quiet, without any publicity, without any news, or even without any movement, it was uploaded in a bland manner, overturning everyone's conspiracy theory speculation, killing all the suspense and all expectations without panic, as if all the previous foreshadowing had come to an abrupt end here, which made people excited at the same time, but also a little suffocating-

If you allow the craze to ferment for another two to three weeks to maximize the effect of hunger marketing, then releasing a single will inevitably have a better effect. But at this time, it has only been a week, and I can't wait to release it, which can be said to be a failure.

However, this is the best news for true music lovers, who can finally enjoy their favorite music, which has nothing to do with gossip, nothing to do with controversy, just pure music. For example, William.

William couldn't wait to click on the downloads, not only for "Ophelia" but also for "Cleopatra (arranged version)", each single for only ninety-nine cents. After clicking play, the wonderful sound quality made William smile big - perhaps, not going to Toronto, it didn't seem so bad.
