Chapter 78: Airborne First

In just one day, the new issue of Nylon Music Magazine was released, and major music critics conducted a new round of inventory and comments on the recent new songs.

However, among them, the most discussed is naturally Avril's new song "SK8er BOI".

Blackjack praised it in his column: "Avril has once again proved that she is not a short-lived female singer, she has her own creative ideas and ideas, and she is very relevant to the younger generation. When I was at work, my six-year-old daughter couldn't help but wave her chubby little hand when she heard the song, and memorized a few lines of the lyrics after listening to it. ”

"It's really impressive, the voice of the younger generation has finally found a window to vent today, and it is Avril."

"But what amazes me even more is the music video of this song, I've seen a lot of great music videos this year. For example, "Makeover" and "Without Me" all have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they all rely on excellent creativity to expand the song. But "SK8er BOI" is different, this is the only song I feel this year, and it is more worthy of repeated thought than the song itself. ”

"To be honest, I'm not familiar with the language of cinema, which should be written by Hollywood critics, but who made it the first MV. I can only rely on my shallow knowledge to tell you that this music video uses a lot of advanced camera movements, and its creativity is undoubted. The elements of American comics, freeze-frames, and explosions are arranged too cleverly, which makes me addicted to watching them. ”

"I even think that because of the music video of this song, its sales will be boosted to a height that I didn't expect before."

And music critic Tony is still as big as ever: "Billboard first!" As I said, there is no suspense, and the MTV Music Video Award is bound to be won by this song, not even "Without Me". ”

"To be honest, the song itself is still old, the arrangement is a little immature, and the melody loops in the chorus stage, which does not raise the sound of the song to another level."

"But what is surprising is that the MV actually plays this role, yes, when you watch the MV and listen to this song, you will only get excited with your blood. If you turn off the MV, it's a pity that the song will only make you feel relaxed, and some layers are missing. ”

"So I have to marvel at the skills of this MV director, Don, who played a very big role in the spread and sales of this song! Even I watched it five times in a row, and I can't imagine how crazy those young people could be, so even though "Without Me" is great in every way, its songs, its complaints, and its style, it's still a little worse than "SK8er BOI". ”

In addition to the comments of these two music critics, many listeners also expressed their opinions in the magazine.

"The first time I saw this music video, I was stunned, I almost thought I was watching some kind of movie video! Really, when I learned that it was the music video for the song, it made me feel like an electric current was running through my feet and scalp. ”

"I felt like I was watching a very imaginative movie, and the comic elements were so well in the style of reality that I wanted to look for other movies with a similar style. It's a pity that I searched for a long time and found that there was no at all, oh my God, I can only watch the MV again! ”

"I love the picture of the building being blasted in this MV! That's great! Those colors are like scenes from my dreams, and I've photographed them and printed them on my bedside! I love Avril! I love the director of this music video, Don! ”

But the typography of these reviews in the magazine is not central, because the mysterious man who promised to reveal his identity when fans send enough letters to the magazine has reappeared.

Only this time she used her original name.

Mariah Carey.

None of the readers expected that it would be her who had previously commented in the magazine!

This is a Grammy award-winning regular, who won the best-selling R&B Artist Award at the World Music Awards in 1998, and is on a par with Wheaton Houston in the top female singers in Europe and the United States.

Because of her singing skills and plump figure that can perfectly control the high octave, she is also called "Sister Niu" by the majority of music fans.

and is regarded by many fans as one of the four divas in Europe and the United States.

Unexpectedly, nylon music magazine actually found her to comment on the song, and there is no doubt that the current issue of the magazine sold out directly.

Even in Brady's office at this time in the CAA building, the vice president who had been waiting to see Donde's joke was watching Mariah Carey's comments on Avril's new song.

"Like I said before, I like this girl, I like the expression in her songs, and that's what young people love. She injected a neo-punk element into rock, which is why everyone loved the song so much. ”

"But compared to the song, this music video is obviously more eye-catching, and I have it in my living room right now. It's like watching a Hollywood blockbuster, and the whimsical ideas in it are really amazing, and I also looked at the director's name, and it's the same as Avril's first song, it's Don. ”

"But these two music videos are completely different, which is really surprising. It's the best music video I've seen this year, and I'm sure it's going to be a hit on MTV. Also, I have to say that I really hope that this director can shoot for my new album. ”

"As for how soon the new album will come out? It depends on when inspiration comes to me. ”

"Smack!" Brady threw the magazine on the table, his expression a little ugly.

Northin's expression on the other side was equally serious, pursing his lips and no longer matching the confidence he had before.

"Look! Take a look at the MV shot by others, fxxk! Helicopters, ritual blasting, American comic style, how could that damn record company give Donde such a high budget! ”

Northin looked down at the pictures in the magazine and shrugged: "After all, Avril does have the possibility of a big hit, and the record company naturally wants to increase investment." ”

"But he should have been under my banner!" Brady was furious: "Damn Edinson is to blame!" He was the one who snatched me! And Mike, the guy whose brain was kicked by a donkey! ”

Nostin didn't answer, and waited for Brady's expression to gradually soften before saying: "There is still a chance, the MTV Awards generally pay more attention to the connotation of the MV, although I admit that Tang De's MV is indeed very good, but in the eyes of the judges, it may not be better than Joseph's." ”

Brady nodded: "But we can't put our hopes on the judges, I can't be compared to Edinson...... Absolutely not! ”

Snowin raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry, I've already arranged it." ”

At the same time, with the help of various magazines and fans, Avril's new song did not take much effort to achieve a circle-breaking effect.

The song has received an enthusiastic response in many media outlets.

"Avril's new song is a big hit! 75% of the video stores are broadcasting! ”

"The super-spec MV shocked the fans' attention, where is director Tang?"

"CAA's strategic layout has been adjusted, and according to insiders, the profit of the music sector has reached one-third of that of the film sector."

And in major video stores, reporters also photographed customers queuing up to buy Avril Avril's music albums.

I saw a long queue in the store, and customers held up their wallets and asked to buy Avril's new single. The reporter deliberately investigated the relevant sales, and found that Avril and other songs accounted for a staggering three to two purchases.

In other words, six out of ten people are buying the single.

This is undoubtedly a very staggering statistic, and the reporter stood in front of the camera and told the public his findings.

Avril Avril's new song has already garnered a rush of buying in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other cities. Not surprisingly, after the Billboard chart is updated, this song is bound to rush to the top three positions. It has to be said that this is young people voting with money to express what they really want. The punk rock attitude is bound to become one of the pop genres after that, but whether Avril can maintain her lead and win her own trophy at next year's Grammys will depend on the judges' choice. ”

It was in such a fiery atmosphere that the billboard was updated as scheduled.

Everyone saw Avril's new song "SK8er BOI" directly replaced Eminem's "Without Me", and landed at the first place in the current issue!

"Wow!" In the office, Carl cheered happily, dancing with his hands and drinking tea from a teacup, twisting his waist and feet, and dancing.

It feels amazing, and the corners of Carl's mouth are now more difficult to suppress than AK, and he has the illusion that he has won the lottery for some reason.

Obviously, I don't seem to have done anything too difficult, but I am lucky and can't stop it.

At this moment, all the worries and apprehensions he had were gone, and now he just wants to play the MV taken by Tang De ten times, and then have a cup of his favorite black tea.

However, the next moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

"Jingle bell!"

"Hey ......"

"Okay, I'll do it."

After Carl answered, he immediately straightened his suit, pushed the door and left the office and walked towards the special elevator.

Vice President Edinson approached him, and it was clear that he had successfully proven his vision and ability, and a promotion and salary increase were certainly certain.

In such a short distance from the office to the elevator, Carl has gained attention that he usually does not have.

"Carl! Good afternoon! ”

"You're good!"

"Hey, Carl, you look so spirited!"

"The same goes for you!"

"Carl, did you change your suit? This tie really goes well! ”

"That's right."

After Carl said this, he secretly said shit in his heart, he hadn't changed his clothes for a week, if it wasn't for Avril's song to become popular, who would care about the dress of an ordinary agent.

The performance of these people is enough to prove that no matter where they are, they are all high and low, and Carl, who was unknown in the past, has now become a rising star in the eyes of everyone because he has a promising MV director.

This damn snobbery and vanity!

But that's exactly what he wants, isn't it?
