Andy Rogers had to get out of the car with a street to go, because the crowd on the street had already occupied half of the lane, and many cars chose to take a detour to the next block, and the first thought in his mind was: Could it be that there was a drunken brawl?

Andy knows that Pioneer Village has never been a popular bar, and even on Friday and Saturday nights, with full indoor seating and queues at the outdoor entrance, the crowds are not exaggerated, with a maximum of more than a hundred people. But the scene in front of him made him completely stunned.

Slowing down, Andy walked towards the pioneer village, and from a distance he could see that at least fifty or sixty people had gathered at the door, and the entrance was blocked by three layers inside and three layers outside, but they were not making trouble, just jumping in place, shouting, laughing, screaming, and screaming, and the scene did not look like a disturbance at all, but more like a ...... Live concerts or party nights.

The whole doorway was tightly blocked, looked left and right, could not find any gaps, and then looked down at his size, so Andy resigned himself to the side, waiting for the crowd to slowly disperse, but his mind was thinking about whether he should change the bar.

This afternoon and evening, three meetings were over, and each of them was an extremely important meeting, consuming countless brain cells, and he needed to drink a beer and relax. New York has a much more nightlife than Los Angeles, but unfortunately, Andy's familiarity with New York is limited, so pioneer villages are the natural choice. I didn't expect to encounter such a noisy night.

If you abandon the pioneer village, are there any other suitable options for the nearby neighborhood?

Andy was thinking about it, and then he saw an embarrassed figure in the crowd being squeezed out, staggering two steps, and almost hitting the street directly. Andy's habitual smile couldn't help but rise a little, and teased, "It seems that tonight's harvest is not very good." It's not easy to get a beer in New York these days. ”

The figure who was about to fall, after standing firmly, looked at the voice, and then stood up straight calmly, not the slightest concern about the embarrassment just now, not even pretending to arrange the clothes Such a small action, Luo Luo walked over generously, stood firm next to Andy, turned around and leaned against the wall, looking unable to straighten his waist, "Nathan also called you just now?"

In front of him, it was Roy Lockley.

Hearing this, Andy's eyebrows frowned slightly. Roy didn't catch such a small expression, but he didn't hear Andy's answer, raised his head and glanced at it, his tone rose slightly, "You're not here for Lan Li?"

"Do you need any special reason to come to the bar on Saturday night?" Andy smiled casually, then looked at the surging crowd next to him again, and only then did he react, "You mean, these people are here for Lan Li?"

"Yes. Roy didn't sell it, and simply gave a neat affirmation, "I just received the news and rushed over." I just know, Lan Li is back in New York, look at your expression, you only know now?" Roy and Andy exchanged glances, and couldn't help but smile dumbly.

The whereabouts of his own actors are a mystery, and the agents and managers are completely ignorant, and it is even too late to wait until the fans and fans have been surrounded by water. It sounds incredible, but it's happening. Both Roy and Andy's smiles were tinged with helplessness.

Roy had a phone call with Nathan just now and learned the basic situation, and at this time, he told Andy in a simple way, "So you say, is this a good thing?"

"Leaving aside the two of us who have been kept in the dark, it's certainly a good thing. Andy didn't forget to laugh at himself when he spoke, which made Roy smile as well, "I know, the media must be saying that Lan Li is maliciously hyping it up again." Andy pursed the corners of his lips, revealing a hint of disdain, "But, this time, let's just say it to the media, we will abandon media channels, but promote online speech, completely take the route of independent music and independent films, and speak by word of mouth." Those who really like the music of Lanli, they will stand up and speak, and those who don't, let them be. ”

Regarding the album "Don Quixote", from production to release, Andy and Roy were involved in the whole process, and they have enough understanding of Studio Eleven's publicity strategy and Lan Li's attitude. So, even without communication, they could have guessed that tonight's pomp and circumstance in the pioneer village was an accident, but the media certainly didn't think so

They will only think that Lan Li is once again taking the opportunity to promote and create a buzz, to use the trend of the Toronto Film Festival to promote their own album, or to use the gimmick of the album to promote a new movie. There is also news related to the sequel to "Fast and Thrilling/Emotional", and Andy can even guess that some media will maliciously speculate that Lan Li borrowed these news to put pressure on Universal Pictures.

Andy wants it, and the media wants it.

However, Andy does not plan to promote 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 Lan Li's choice, fully cooperates with the promotion of Eleven Studios, and steadily wins with word-of-mouth, abandoning the mainstream commercial market and locking in those senior and professional music lovers.

Abandoning the head-on conflict with the media and single-mindedly focusing on "Don Quixote", Andy believes that the efforts and efforts of Lan Li and George will always be understandable, maybe not much, but enough, and a spark can also start a prairie fire. In the long run, this is a good thing for Lanli's professional image.

As he spoke, the crowd at the entrance of the bar began to stir, and the people inside began to walk out, and the people outside began to walk in one after another after waiting patiently. Just seeing such a scene can boldly paint a vivid picture of how wonderful tonight's performance really is, so many people gathered at the door, unwilling to leave for a long time, like loyal fans waiting outside the door of the concert venue, even if they can't see it in person, hoping to stand outside the venue and become one with the audience.

Andy and Roy waited at the door, watching the crowd keep leaving, more and more surprised, it was hard to imagine that the small and exquisite pioneer village actually swallowed so many spectators, waiting for nearly twenty minutes, the crowd outside had basically all entered, but the crowd inside continued to come out, as if it was a bottomless pit.

After waiting for a while, the surging level of the crowd finally eased, and the two of them took a step. Walking into the bar, you can effortlessly see the blue ceremony in the center of the stage, not only because of the spotlights that have not yet been extinguished, which easily gathers the eyes in the dimly lit room, but also because of the long queue next to the stage, and the huge line circles the stage. The goal is so clear.

Walking up to take a closer look, I found that everyone had an album of "Don Quixote" in their hands, and occasionally a small number of people who did not have an album in their hands could be seen holding a promotional poster along the trajectory of the flow of the crowd, and there was a big basket on the bar with a large number of rolled posters, and those who forgot to bring the album, or did not buy the album, or just joined in the fun, can get a poster for free at any time, and then ...... Signature.

At this moment, the long line is filled with people waiting for autographs. Lan Li sat on the stage, not a table in front of him, but a keyboard, and a guitar next to him, showing the traces of the end of the performance. It's so simple, but people don't care, they can't wait to step forward, hand the album or poster in their hands to Lan Li, and chat happily while waiting for the autograph, the scene is so lively.

Andy couldn't help but be stunned, and then he heard Roy's inquiring voice, "Has Lan Li held an autograph session?"

"Nope. Andy shrugged his shoulders, and after speaking, looking at the scene in front of him, Andy couldn't help but wonder.

Although it is said that it has successfully opened up its popularity with "Fast and Exciting / Emotional 5", the time is still too short, so far, Lan Li has not really enjoyed the superstar treatment surrounded by groups, even in Sundance or Toronto, but I didn't expect that such a flowery treatment would become a reality because of the album "Don Quixote". Is this an unintentional insertion of willows?

"I now finally know why everyone left with a high/high look on their faces. Roy's playful voice came, and the two exchanged glances, and both chuckled. Now it seems that the two have begun to develop some tacit understanding.

"I'm even more curious about how wonderful the performance was now. Andy was only halfway through his words, but Roy immediately understood:

To be able to keep so many people at the door and not want to leave even if they can't get in, to be able to make so many people stay just to get an autograph, to make so many people look excited and excited, to make so many people cheer together for an album that has not been advertised...... There's only one answer to explain, and that's tonight's show.

"Perhaps, you can start with the CD of the album first. Roy suggested that the contract for the album was handled by him, and that he had not only listened to the full album, but also bought two copies privately. But even so, the imagination could not paint a picture of the live performances of the pioneer villages.

Andy didn't speak, just lifted his chin meaningfully. But I couldn't help but think of the last time Lan Li mentioned it: the West End or Broadway plays. How much of the talent hidden in Lan Li has not been unearthed?

"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 period of time, this craze is estimated to be unable to subside." ”
