Chapter Ninety-Five: Promotion and Surprise

Shocking the audience, Aerosmith finally ended the band's performance with the BGM of the fourth level of "Kicking King" and the music of the playthrough, and they couldn't have completed the quasi-finale task they were responsible for.

The audience's nearly ten minutes of enthusiastic applause, and six back and forth appearances, proved how shocking the live transformation of Aerosmith in this performance is, even non-professional ordinary music fans can feel the improvement in more than the usual sense.

When Big Mouth Taylor actually returned to the backstage lounge, they were congratulated by all the bandmates and staff.

Stephen Taylor is thirty-six years old, Joe Perry is thirty-four years old, and the two of them have advanced to the master realm at such a young age, and it has to be said that the high level of talent is enviable.

Of course, no genius can compare to the "guitar god" Jimi Hendrix, who died before the age of thirty, but he became a guitar master at the age of twenty-two.

A super genius like the "Guitar God", the creator has not been willing to produce one for hundreds of years, so Taylor and the two masters, who are less than forty years old, are already rare in the world.

After a brief period of darkness on stage, the light shines on Emily Bloom again.

"According to our original plan, Caesar was supposed to take the stage for the finale, but due to an accident, we postponed the Caesar solo part. Now we invite the Shadow Dance Troupe to give you a wonderful performance! ”

"What's going on with the Shadow Dancers?"

"yes, I've never heard of it...... What about you? ”

"No, I've never heard of this group."

Although there was a commotion in the audience, people were more curious and expectant, Caesar's reputation was undoubted, and the team he selected would not be far behind.

What people don't know is that Caesar himself doesn't know what is going on, and he is already carrying his guitar and getting ready to play, but he is pressed in place by Emily's news.

When Emily returned to the audience, Caesar walked over and whispered in exchange for the answer "surprise".

Soon, a choir dressed in white robes walked past Caesar and hula and took the stage.

At first glance it seems normal, the first VGL also had a local church choir in Los Angeles, B-BOX.

But after all the members of the team stood in their positions, the audience took a closer look through the video wall.

Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, Larry Bird, Jordan, Olajuwon, these six basketball superstars and rising stars are mixed in with the rest of the choir, and their tall and strong figures stand out from the rest of the choir.

Some people in the audience who knew them recognized these living treasures with strict faces at a glance, and soon their identities spread throughout the stadium.

In this era, Jordan has not yet reached the peak of his career, and the NBA has not been jointly promoted to the world by Jordan and Stern.

The first and second sports in the United States are still American football and baseball, and basketball is still competing with ice hockey for third place.

When he first took over as NBA commissioner in '84, Caesar approached him.

When Stern was struggling with how to promote basketball and how to make the NBA mainstream in the professional sports leagues of the United States, Caesar opened the door for him.

The two men discussed how to promote the NBA, how to select, protect and package the stars, how to get the NBA to get a lot of attention, and how to generate enough benefits through guò's huge attention and influence, and then how to make those benefits snowball without falling apart.

Many of the things that David Stern in his previous life slowly explored after more than ten years were directly taught to the other party in this life by Kaissatong's blatant guidance or outspokenness.

What sets Caesar apart from his predecessor Stern's approach is that he repeatedly emphasizes the moral superiority of his stars on and off the court.

In many exchanges, he also told Stern about the preparations for his high-quality star club chamber of commerce.

As a star, especially a superstar, you can't equate yourself with ordinary people, the words and deeds of these superstars affect teenagers all the time, so these stars who benefit from fame must not lose their personal morality.

Caesar brings these high-quality superstars together, in addition to making good money, in order to improve the atmosphere of the entertainment industry in this world, and the United States, as the forefront of the world's entertainment industry, must take the lead.

No negative news is allowed off the field, especially pornography, gambling, and drugs, and anyone who touches anything will be severely punished by the club and expelled from the club.

For example, Chamberlain's memoirs said that he had "20,000 rounds" in his life, whether it was bragging or not, at least it was your love at the time, and there was no scandal and lawsuit.

It doesn't matter if there is trash talk on the court, fights and intentional injuries are all punished heavily, ranging from a one-year ban to a lifetime ban, and the modern and sound live TV broadcast system provides strong evidence for the post-match penalty increase.

In Kaiser's heart, Uncle Bao, who should have been banned for life a long time ago, actually abolished several talented players in a row and did not get retribution.

You must know that this man's various black feet are far from the category of competitive sports, but completely and undisguised malice.

Uncle Bao dared to do this because of the connivance and even instigation of Spurs head coach Vicky Xiaobo, who obviously admired Tim Duncan so much in his previous life, but hated the Spurs very much.

Those who beat fans in games like "Ci Shiping" should be banned for life. Of course, fans who provoke or even assault players can also be punished by banning them from the stadium for a season.

Caesar also stressed to David Stern that there can be a slight home whistle, but there is absolutely no room for a star whistle and a godfather whistle that ignores fouls and walks.

Before the age of thirty-five, the pillar players of the team are not allowed to make group transfers.

The stars who enter the Chamber of Fine Star Clubs must be undisputed powerhouses and no controversy and flaws are allowed.

If you think you can't do it, quit the club immediately, there may not be absolutely perfect stars and strong people in this world, but there will always be one who is relatively closer to perfection.

Then, Caesar and Stern signed a detailed cooperation agreement.

Regarding the gamification of NBA events, including team names and emblems, player rosters and in-game image rights, etc., as for the image rights of players on the cover of the game, it is negotiated separately with the player's agent, and is not under the jurisdiction of the NBA Major League.

Of course, one Qiē revenue generated each year from the game and its related peripherals will be shared by FFF, the NBA and all NBA teams in accordance with the agreement.

The only thing that drives a person in this world to be willing to serve a stranger is money and violence.

Without interest, how could Stern agree to a five-year contract with the right of first refusal?

This time, bringing in six basketball stars at once is the first round of cooperation between Caesar and Stern. Boost the popularity of NBA stars and make them familiar in a short period of time.

In Huaxia, the only way to dramatically increase popularity in a short period of time is to go to the Spring Festival Gala, and it must be the CCA-V Spring Festival Gala.

Because although many people just turn on the TV on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Gala is just a festive background music.

But it is undeniable that the Spring Festival Gala has always been one of the most watched programs in the world, and the ratings of live programs such as the football World Cup final, the opening of the Olympic Games, the European Champions Cup final, and the Spanish Football League national derby are on the same level.

The Super Bowl Finals, which Americans are proud of, are not at all on a level in front of the previous live shows.

At present, VGL compares the sales of live broadcasts and videotapes with the Super Bowl Finals, and people are surprised to find that VGL's global ratings have faintly surpassed the Rose Bowl Finals.

What is the result of showing your face at the live broadcast of such horror ratings, just look at "Spaceship Smith", and then look at the status of the bands of "Metal Band" who participated in the first VGL.

"Overnight fame is known to the world" refers to the "metal band", a small band that was once unknown.

The current "metal band" has to pick and choose even advertising endorsements and concert venues, and you can imagine the gap between this identity.

David Stern sat in the VIP box at the Rose Bowl Court, looking at the six NBA players on the scene with excitement on his face, and communicating with his deputy from time to time.

Olajuwon and Jordan are already members of the high-quality superstar chamber club set by Kaisan Nei, and the agreement has also been initialed with the two potential new stars.

In the face of some of Caesar's restrictions on players on and off the field, the two also said that there was no problem.

It's not a bully clause, it's just that it doesn't touch the moral bottom line, and it's really not a difficult thing for Jordan and Olajuwon.

With the addition of six stars, the 16-member choir stands diagonally behind the stage from the front of the stage, and stands in an arc on the edge of the stage on both sides.

Accompanied by the signal of the leader, the performance of the pure vocal B-box begins.

The first song is the classic "Cat and Mouse War", not only BGM, but even the sound of the cat jumping rubber band is imitated and inserted into the rhythm of the music.

Coupled with the funny expressions of several stars, the audience laughed in an instant.

However, the real surprise is that the reason why they stand on the edge of the stage and attract attention by chasing light and being funny is because of the appearance of the main protagonist in the center of the stage, the Shadow Dance Company.

Lights suddenly light up in the center of the stage, which was originally dark, and under the all-black background, a person dressed as the main cat in the cat-and-mouse game suddenly turns his back to the front of the audience.

Since the back of his entire body is covered in pure black, he blends in with the entire backdrop when his back is facing away from the audience.

Immediately after the appearance of the cat, the two mice in the game who are on a mission to persecute cats also suddenly turn around and appear.

They performed all kinds of game character movements to the b-box music of the star choir, and the kind of funny and novel amused everyone in the audience.

That's right, this is Emily's description based on Caesar's description, restoring the "sunspot" theater effect revealed by Caesar during casual conversation.
