Chapter 291: New Song Debuts on the Stage!
Times Square, New York.
This is different from the cold situation when the previous single of "Call Me Maybe" was released.
This time, the release of Liu Yifei and Timberlake's collaborative single "Good Time" is very official.
Liu Yifei's record is about the American Broadcasting Records (RCA), which is affiliated with the United States, and has a cooperation stage with Universal.
RCA Records and Universal Music's singers will hold an open-air label concert in Times Square.
Of course, most of the main singers are second- and third-rate singers.
Taylor Swift of RCA Records and Lady Gaga of Universal Music are the biggest singers who can appear in this concert.
The addition of Liu Yifei and Timberlake has become the biggest big name this time, mainly thanks to Timberlake, who is currently one of the hottest male singers in North America.
Justin Bieber's whirlwind won't blow until next year.
Rushed to Times Square in New York, and the simple stage had been set up.
As soon as Liu Yifei arrived at the scene, he first rehearsed with Timberlake.
At the beginning, Timberlake was also worried about whether Liu Yifei, a singer who crossed over to play tickets, would have a poor effect of opening the microphone on the spot, whether he would have to open the microphone half-open, or pad the sound or something.
Thankfully, his fears didn't materialize.
Although Liu Yifei's singing skills are average, it is enough, and the live singing is quite stable.
In addition, "Good Time" is a cool and sweet song of summer wind, as long as the atmosphere of the scene is in place, it is absolutely no problem to dry the scene.
This new song debut, first singing, can definitely produce a good effect!
Speaking of which, this morning, Liu Yifei also learned a good news.
LV plans to invite her to be the spokesperson of LV Greater China.
However, it is not completely determined, it is still in a period of wandering, and the two sides are in contact.
If "Good Time" can achieve a good result in North America again this time, it is estimated that it will be able to win LV's endorsement in Greater China.
Liu Yifei is also full of fighting spirit for this.
You must know that it is not like after 2014, all international luxury brands have attached importance to the domestic entertainment market and signed some mainland stars as their spokespersons.
The current luxury brands, whether they are LV, Chanel or Dior, have not signed any Chinese spokespersons, only some Chinese partners, that is, occasionally invited to participate in some brand activities, can not represent the brand.
These "noble" luxury goods are not willing to bow their arrogant heads to pay attention to the luxury goods market in the mainland.
It wasn't until after 2010 that the mainland tyrants made a strong effort to tear apart the "nobility" of various luxury brands, and everyone rushed to kneel and lick the mainland market.
It was also because they were too hasty to enter the market at that time, and these big European and American brands didn't understand domestic entertainment, so they signed some traffic giants, but as soon as they entered, they pushed themselves low first.
Now it's different, and now these luxury brands are still on top.
If Liu Yifei can sign LV's endorsement in Greater China, it will really soar, and the commercial value of domestic entertainment will be unique.
How could she not work on this?
Grabbing the microphone, I waited nervously for the stage to start tonight.
Backstage, a group of RCA Records and Universal Music staff are busy preparing for the performance.
A staff member took out his newly bought iphone and logged in to iTunes, planning to play a few songs to listen to, which can be regarded as relaxing.
"Wow, it's Crystal on the cover?"
As soon as he opened iTunes, a poster photo of the single specially taken by Liu Yifei for "Good Time" popped up.
In the photo, Timberlake is driving an open-top sports car and is running on the road, while Liu Yifei stands up directly in the co-pilot, covering the sun hat that is about to be blown by the wind with one hand, and waving the other hand in the wind, with a smile on his face.
Just looking at this poster, it can give people a feeling of summer wantonness, chic and happiness.
"RCA Records is willing to spend money on cover publicity for her?" The staff member, Tony, was a little surprised.
It's not a new thing for iTunes to sell cover recommendations, and people rely on this to make money.
But it's very unusual for a Chinese singer to buy an iTunes cover promotion, at least Tony has never seen a second Chinese singer's poster appear on the iTunes cover.
James, who was also resting on the side, poked his head over to take a look, pouted and said indifferently: "You also underestimate Crystal." ”
"Haven't you heard, but she has the support of Daniel Wu behind her, how much does it cost to buy a cover to promote, will Daniel not be able to afford it?"
"Not only that, do you see Times Square outside?"
"RCA Records bought Crystal several screens of commercials, and every 10 minutes or so, you can see a promotional video for her new song, as well as a 15-second new song broadcast."
"Anyone who comes to Times Square will look up and see Crystal's new song commercial!"
"Wow." Tony exclaimed again, this treatment is only a new song promotion that only A-list singers in North America have.
"James, do you think Crystal's new order will still be popular?"
"Who knows." James shrugged his shoulders, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Didn't you also see the rehearsal just now?" ”
"The song is still very good, and I think it may still be popular."
In Times Square, although there are still two or three hours before the official start of the performance, Liu Yifei's fans have already arrived at the scene.
There are groups of international students from North America, as well as her European and American fans in North America, and there are also mainland fans who have traveled thousands of miles from China to watch the premiere.
Especially mainland fans, these mainland fans are all die-hard fans of Liu Yifei, and they often pick up and drop off the plane for her, and they also got her an online fan forum.
Even Liu Xiaoli exchanged contact information with them, and there will be some interaction during the New Year's holidays.
In today's words, these fans are Liu Yifei's big fans and fans, and they are also the ones with the strongest purchasing power and the richest ones.
At least those who can come to North America from China to support Liu Yifei are all rich second generations who are rich and idle.
Don't think that the rich second generation won't chase stars, it's just that the rich second generation is the craziest and most willing to spend money when chasing stars.
Because their daily life is too boring, chasing stars is much more interesting.
The local tyrant viewers who refer to various live broadcast websites in later generations are all rich second generations who have so much money that they have nowhere to spend.
So a group of people came to the United States across the ocean with all kinds of things to support.
However, what is special is that among the Chinese fans on the scene, the number of girls is much higher than that of the men, about two-thirds of the fans are girls who are water and spirit, and the momentum is also very huge, holding Liu Yifei's poster for all kinds of support.
There are less than one-third of the male fans mixed in, and the voices are all overshadowed by the female fans.
"Sisters, listen to me!"
"This is the stage of Sissi's new song debut, and it is her first official song in North America, so we must take it seriously, maintain our quality and image, and don't let foreign fans see jokes."
A female fan who seems to be the leader, holding a loudspeaker, is lecturing the mainland or Chinese fans.
"When other singers appear on the stage, we also have to send applause and cheers, be more atmospheric!"
"Also, don't throw garbage anywhere, and take everything you bring with you!"
"Got it?"
All the fans who could understand Chinese responded loudly: "Got it!" ”
The fan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I won't talk about more." ”
"Later, Sissi arranged a fan meeting, and everyone can see Sissi at that time, and you have to pay attention to your emotions and don't do anything exciting."
"If anyone scares Sissi and makes Sissi dare not hold a fan meeting in the future, then I don't have a good attitude!"
Not to mention, this female fan who looks only in her twenties seems to have quite prestige among Liu Yifei's fans, and some old men in their thirties listened to her words very carefully, without the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces.
There's no way, this fan is really rich, his family runs a company in Beijing, and his assets are hundreds of millions.
Some of the screens in Times Square were bought by herself to advertise Liu Yifei's new songs, and the word "trench" could no longer summarize her identity.
If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, everyone has to listen to the words of this fan, provided that her opinions are correct.
After another two hours, today's performance in Times Square has finally officially begun.
With such a formal stage, it will definitely not be only Liu Yifei and Timberlake who will perform on stage.
The first to take the stage to warm up are some singers who have never heard of their names, even in North America, they are newcomers outside the 18th line.
For these newcomers, it is a rare thing to have such a stage opportunity, so they perform very seriously.
However, most of the people who came to the scene were passers-by who often came here, and a small number of fans who came for Liu Yifei, Timberlake, Taylor Swift and others.
In the face of these unknown newcomers, the fans of other singers reacted very little, and they didn't even listen to the performances on stage, and they were still chatting about their idols.
Only Liu Yifei's fans are very face-saving, not only giving applause, but also cheering a few words from time to time, cooperating with the stage interaction of these little singers and giving on-site feedback.
This makes these little singers who are used to being ignored a touch.
Take a closer look, they're all fans of that Chinese female singer, right?
In their hearts, they immediately took note of this Chinese female singer, and their favorability towards her was directly full.
Liu Yifei, who was waiting backstage, didn't expect that her fans who came from afar in China would give her more face and win a lot of goodwill in the circle.
Who dares to say that these little singers who are now unknown will not have a popular day in the future?
For example, the Imagine Dragons band, which has just finished the performance and is still an unknown small band, saw Liu Yifei backstage when he left the stage, and smiled and nodded at her gratefully.
This made Liu Yifei and the second monk puzzled.
Do I know them? (End of chapter)
