142 Rockets Leap Up
"So, are you still going to go to the studio to record? Or are you going to make plans after you sign a professional music agent? If you need to, I can make a few phone calls right now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Andy still had a Maitreya Buddha-like smile on his face, although Lan Li closed his eyes tightly and couldn't see it at all.
Lan Li could feel the gnashing of teeth in Andy's words, and he waved his hand casually, "What are you doing in such a hurry." That unhurried gesture made Andy almost unable to change in one breath, "At least, I need to wash up first." After speaking, Lan Li stood up with a lazy pace, and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
Looking at Lan Li's back as she disappeared at the bathroom door, Andy let out a long breath to calm down the turbulent emotions.
He also knew that he had some gaffes today, and the most important thing was that there were too many accidents in less than forty-eight hours.
Before the Emmy Award, he had just accepted the agency job of Lan Li, and he didn't have enough time to start the business, so he set his first goal as the Toronto Film Festival, but who knows, last night's awards ceremony brought a surprise, Lan Li's award disrupted the rhythm, and even there was a rookie mistake who didn't receive Lan Li.
On the ensuing celebration banquet, Lan Li's position naturally changed significantly, and many of the industry's top big-name producers and actors arrived at the scene, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Lan Li. Under the deliberate guidance of Steven Spielberg, Andy took Lan Li to meet many big-name people - and he got drunk directly.
And then there's this morning.
Accidents one after another, mistakes after mistakes, although they are all small mistakes, but for Andy, these mistakes are avoidable, which is why his emotions began to be agitated. Now, he has to calm himself down, get back to his rhythm, and make the most accurate arrangements in the shortest possible time. It's a great opportunity, and he won't miss it easily.
Taking advantage of Lan Li's time to wash, Andy turned on the desktop computer in the hotel room.
If it were other agents, Lan Li was not only a newcomer, but also just signed a few days ago, they might have agreed on a hotel room at random, and the Emmy Award should be dealt with first, but Andy had the foresight to book a luxury suite at the Sunset Tower Hotel as the first step in Lan Li's image project, and 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 his work now.
Turning on the YouTube pipe again, the video of "Ophelia" has actually entered the top 20 of the hot video list, and the Emmy Awards' popularity bonus effect is very obvious, and the speed of the rise is far faster than expected - the attention is not on a street performance, but on a street performance after an Emmy winner abandoned the celebration party.
Andy felt that he still knew too little about Lan Li. Although he knew about the single "Cleopatra" before, it was just a popular YouTube video, and there were a lot of such videos every day, and the single's results on the Billboard were also lackluster, more like a cameo in the nature of a ticket, not worth mentioning. But now it seems that there is more to Lanli's experience in the pioneer village than to be discovered.
Suddenly, Andy remembered one thing, Lan Li was born in London's West End and Broadway, so in addition to stage plays, did Lan Li appear in musicals?
In the eyes of the layman, choosing London's West End and Broadway is a thankless task, not attracting much attention, and the income is really poor, but only the real insiders know that acting in a stage play is an absolute plus point for the academic school, and if he wins the Tony Award, it is tantamount to setting a sign in Hollywood - a sign of outstanding strength and solid basic skills.
Hugh-Jackman (Hugh-Jackman) became popular in Hollywood with the role of "Wolverine", logically speaking, commercial movies and anime characters are the most hated things in the academy, but in fact, the academy has always favored Hugh, in the final analysis, because Hugh has worked Broadway for a long time and has a Tony Award.
Andy's thoughts suddenly diverged, faintly a little excited, and he was looking forward to Lan Li's ultimate limit more and more.
Immediately, Andy retracted his chaotic thoughts and knocked "Cleopatra" on the search window of YouTube, he originally planned to see the current click trend of this video, but he didn't expect that a large number of related videos popped up on the page, which was really unexpected.
Looking at it, Andy raised his eyebrows, and the surprise in his eyes became even stronger - these related videos are actually cover videos!
Social networks led by YouTube and Facebook are changing people's lives, and in 2008, Justin-Bieber (Justin-Bieber) was born on YouTube, which has become a new icon in the Internet era of the new century.
Since then, covers have become a new fashion trend, and many people with singing dreams will release their own cover videos, hoping to be favored by big-name agents or record companies. There are even a number of professional cover singers on the Internet to make a living.
However, these cover singers are not all about covering any song, and in order to attract enough attention, their cover choices are also particular, either those immortal classics that have been sung for a long time, or the latest hot new songs launched by top big names, only then will people click in and watch them. If they just cover some indie music all day long that no one has heard, then they are doomed to not get ahead.
Now, at this moment, there is a cover video of "Cleopatra"? This is even more popular than the "US Weekly" scoop, and Andy feels that things seem to have developed far beyond his expectations.
An independent song without a faction, a folk tune that goes off the rails, a cold melody that has not participated in any propaganda or even a music video, and someone is willing to cover it! This is absolutely abnormal!
Andy clicked in and took a look, his understanding of music is relatively limited, but he has heard of some YouTube cover celebrities, because some cover singers have become warm-up guests at the concert of big-name singers, and even signed a contract with the record company.
The most clicked is Conor-Maynard (Conor-Maynard), the young British singer, who is only seventeen years old this year, but his personal channel on YouTube has more than 400,000 subscribers, which can be described as a popular cover celebrity, he not only covered "Cleopatra", but also covered "Ophelia", both songs were uploaded for less than an hour, but at this time the hit rate has exceeded 80,000, and the attention is really terrifying.
In second place is a female singer, Tiffany-Alvord (Tiffany-Alvord), this little girl is only 18 years old, and she became popular for covering Taylor Swift's songs, with 250,000 subscribers to her personal YouTube page, and is also one of the hottest cover artists at the moment. Her best skill is undoubtedly lyrical minor, and under her interpretation, "Cleopatra" has more grievances and sorrows, like a fresh little poem. The video was uploaded just 20 minutes ago, and the click-through rate has exceeded 10,000, and the upward momentum cannot be underestimated.
Not only did things go beyond expectations, but the momentum was unstoppable, and by the time we returned to the homepage, the live video of "Cleopatra" had already entered the top 20 list of popular videos, and "Ophelia" was among the top 10.
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, it will be able to achieve very outstanding sales results, but as an agent, as Lan Li said, Andy is more inclined to the actor part, and he is not concerned about the single results of "Ophelia", but the positive impact that the topic effect can bring.
For example, the single sparked heated discussions, coupled with the upset of the Emmy Awards, the probability of Lan Li attending the talk show has skyrocketed, otherwise as a rookie actor, even if he is blessed by the Emmy Awards, it is difficult to attend the talk show alone, once Lan Li can walk on the TV screen, then "burying alive" such a rootless independent work, the development of publicity will suddenly open up the situation.
For example, the topic of street performances after the awards show has spread in the industry, which is far more interesting than the "Emmy Award winner for Best Actor in a Miniseries and TV and Film", which can be discussed as a fun anecdote when word of mouth spreads. Next, whether it is an independent film or a commercial film, it will be much easier for Andy to look for a performance opportunity for Lan Li.
Therefore, what Andy needs to consider most now is not the Toronto Film Festival, which will kick off next week, but how to maximize the wave created by "Ophelia" as much as possible before going to Toronto, and make full use of the characteristics of the rapid spread of the Internet to achieve the goal.
After thinking about it, Andy rummaged through his phone's address book, looked for it for a while, and then dialed a call, and after just waiting for a while, the other party picked up the phone, "Hey, Jordyn, it's me, Andy Rogers." On the other end of the line was Jordin-Nicole, a reporter for Billboard magazine.
Corresponding to the weekly billboard, "Billboard" magazine is also a pop vane, they weaken the professional authority, as much as possible to report on the pop music market with popularity, pop, hit and other indices, which is loved by teenagers.
"Ha, I didn't expect me to call you......" In the face of the ridicule on the other end of the phone, Andy regained his usual demeanor and teased back unhurriedly.
