Forty minutes later, all five themes were rehearsed.
There are actually some backup plans in the plan, mainly to re-record once a certain topic encounters a problem.
Of course, if it can be avoided, it should be avoided as much as possible.
Most of the live guests tomorrow night bought tickets and they definitely want to see a perfect performance. If it is re-recorded and the news gets out, it will definitely affect the publicity effect of the show.
After the rehearsal was completed, Simon and others got up and went backstage.
The angels had just gone through the tense forty minutes and were all gathering backstage to rest. Seeing Simon appear, the girls stood up to say hello.
Simon and a large group of goblins waved their way through the crowd to the control center where Michael Bay was located, mainly to watch the sample effects captured by the camera during the rehearsal.
Of course, live performance is the key to this big show, but broadcasting it on a public television platform is actually even more important.
Simon had already given Michael Bay enough guidance by referring to his memory in advance, and the other party was strong enough to control the situation. Finally, they discussed some details for more than half an hour, and everything was ready.
It's winter in New York, but it's still sunny and pleasant in Los Angeles.
In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the next day.
At Los Angeles International Airport, Lisa Collins entered the pick-up hall carrying simple luggage. When she saw Jennifer Raybould, she immediately quickened her pace and rushed towards her, hugging her affectionately.
After greetings, the two girls walked out hand in hand. Lisa Collins complained about the cold weather in New York and talked about how she wanted to work in Los Angeles. The topic quickly turned to the upcoming Victoria's Secret show tonight. .
Taking advantage of the weekend to come to Los Angeles, Lisa's purpose was obviously for this big show.
Or, to be more precise, they came to listen to the music.
Ever since she learned that several of the theme songs for this show were composed by Simon himself, Lisa repeatedly told Jennifer not to forget to get herself a ticket with the best seat.
Even without the deep-seated admiration of her best friend, Lisa has always been full of admiration for a certain guy. She will never miss his various works, whether they are movies or music.
The two left the airport. The female assistant started the car and asked Lisa beside her: "Do you want to take a rest first?"
Lisa looked at her watch. It was already past four in the afternoon.
With the development of her career, she is getting busier and busier now. She finally found time to come here this time, and it was not just to rest.
"Let's go directly to the Music Center. By the way, is Simon over there?"
"Yes."
The female assistant nodded, started the car and drove towards the airport expressway.
When the car was driving smoothly, Lisa looked at the girl next to her who was becoming more and more intellectual, and said, "How are you two doing lately?"
Facing Lisa, the female assistant no longer felt embarrassed and said: "Very good."
"Um, didn't you say before that you wanted to have a child?"
"Um."
"Then what," Lisa asked, and Barabala took the initiative to guess: "Did he disagree again? I heard that they both sent their little ones to Australia. Humph, men are like this, want me He said, you shouldn't ask him, just get pregnant with the baby, and he won't be able to take responsibility if he doesn't want to."
"It's not what you think," Jennifer shook her head, with a bit of confusion in her eyes, and said, "Simon doesn't resist children, but maybe he and Jenny want to live a world of two. I, I Here, he said anytime.”
Lisa, however, didn't quite believe Jennifer's explanation and said, "I think it's better for you to make an agreement with him in advance and sign an agreement to at least ensure that the little guy has inheritance rights in the future."
The female assistant immediately said this time: "I don't want to argue about this, and Simon will definitely not treat my child badly."
"Maybe not Simon, but what about Janet?"
The female assistant curled her lips and said, "Jenny, as long as I don't compete with her for Simon, everything else doesn't matter."
"Aren't you competing with her for Simon now?"
"No, I'm just his secret lover and pose no threat to Jenny."
"I think you should be more ambitious."
The female assistant curled her lips: "It's good now."
Lisa looked at her best friend's expression and suddenly sighed and said, "You are hopeless."
The female assistant simply stopped talking.
She is indeed very satisfied with her current life.
Unlike those women who can only hide in the shadow of a man, as long as he is in Los Angeles, the two of them can see each other every day, usually have dinner together at noon, and occasionally enjoy their world when they go to San Francisco. This kind of relationship can even Closer than many couples.
Of course she had also thought about taking things a step further between the two of them.
As a woman, how could I not want this
However, she knew very well that there was no way she could win over Janet.
She liked that man, very much, but knew that she could not reach the level of Janet.
Janet had made him her everything.
If she really snatched him away, she thought, Janet would probably kill herself.
The two drove to downtown Los Angeles, and there was already a bustling scene outside the Dorothy Chandler Theater.
This show only has 1,000 tickets open to the public. However, due to the continuous hype, many fans, moviegoers and even fans of Victoria’s Secret Angels showed up here today. At least three to four thousand people gathered in the entire Los Angeles Music Center area. .
Jennifer and Lisa parked their cars and entered the Chandler Theater easily compared to the public waiting outside.
I found Simon who was making the final arrangements for the show with Michael Bay and other creators. He just said hello briefly and the man continued busy. The two women did not interrupt and visited the backstage on their own.
Looking at the group of Victoria's Secret angels sitting behind the rows of dressing tables who had basically completed their looks, Lisa inevitably felt a bit of the envy and jealousy among women. In the end, she couldn't help but lean into the female assistant's ear and ask softly. : "How many are there?"
Jennifer was a little confused at first, but then understood.
Lisa was asking how many of them the guy slept with.
He just rolled his eyes at the other person and didn't answer at all.
In fact, she doesn't know either.
Simon had not paid much attention to this project in the first place. As his personal assistant, she only occasionally helped deliver and organize some documents. How could she possibly know how many of them he had slept with in private
Privately, whenever there is a chance, the female assistant will try her best to push away the women who come close to him. She is not as generous as Janet.
However, most of the time, she actually didn't pay much attention to his various sideshows.
The main reason is that there is no such position.
After all, she herself is his lover.
Because of her childhood living environment, although her parents were very strict with her, she was not an innocent and ignorant little girl living in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
The traditional American family concept is basically ineffective for people at the top of this social pyramid.
Entering society, especially when you are still with him, there are really not many people you come into contact with who don't have a lover.
Unknowingly, she somewhat recognized what Janet once said, how could she only have one woman if her man is so outstanding
Of course, the default is the default, and she will not take the initiative to inquire about this kind of thing.
Moreover, she also knew that compared to those guys who chased women almost pathologically, he was actually quite restrained, and he did not have the hobby of keeping many women around him for a long time.
The show starts at seven o'clock.
Starting at six o'clock, spectators with tickets can enter the venue.
Jennifer and Lisa stayed backstage for a while, then went out to have something to eat. When they came back again, they went directly from the backstage to the front lobby.
The lights in the hall are bright and soft waiting music is playing.
The audience entered the venue one after another, and some important guests on both sides of the T stage also gradually appeared. When the two women saw that Janet had arrived, they came over and sat together. There were other superstars and celebrities from all walks of life in Los Angeles around them, and ordinary spectators constantly came forward to ask for autographs and photos.
Time flies by in this atmosphere of anticipation.
Near seven o'clock, the staff began to remind the audience who had gathered in twos and threes to return to their seats.
When everything was ready, the lights in the theater hall dimmed.
The surroundings became quiet, with only the photographers who were about to take photos of the catwalk walking around hunched over.
After another moment of waiting, the host announced the official start of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
The lighting was adjusted to an ambiguous and confusing red.
This time, a soft-voiced female voice came from the speakers, and she simply spoke a few words: Act 1, Psychedelic Angel.
Immediately, music, accompanied by dynamic lights, sounded in the hall at the same time.
"Angels" by Vicetone has a dynamic intro that lasts 50 seconds. However, for this big show, the 50-second prelude is just enough to arouse the emotions of everyone present.
Lisa, who was sitting in a prime position on the side of the catwalk, felt a completely different style of music from the music she often heard on weekdays. She felt like her heart was jumping out of her chest, and so were many people in the hall. Even not only in the hall, but also thousands of people who were still outside the Chandler Theater and could not enter, heard the music for the first time.
*…
*Oh God, I'm losing my mind.
*Chasing your figure at all costs.
*do not leave Me
*I can feel the watch in your heart
*…
When the lyrics sounded, Cindy Crawford stepped onto the T stage to the rhythm, and the audience, who had been completely aroused, applauded in unison.
Referring to the angel outfit that she remembered from the opening look of the 2006 Victoria's Secret show, Cindy Crawford's cool and charming look also revealed a bit of pride and charm, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
The other angels who appeared immediately gave the audience a strong sense of pleasure.
This big show is not only about the details of the stage, lighting, and music, but also the most important angel costumes. Every piece is carefully discussed and handmade by professional costume designers. It can be said that the angel costumes with five themes can basically reach the level of works of art.
Not to mention the majority of the audience who were quickly attracted, even for professional fashion media people, the designs of most of the angel outfits are full of remarkable features.
Moreover, those who are interested can also find that the core of the show's promotion, Victoria's Secret brand underwear, has not been marginalized.
Underneath the angel outfit are pieces of sexy underwear that surpass most styles of this era, and even show the Victoria's Secret brand's ambition to subvert the design of women's underwear.
The first theme, a performance of about five minutes, almost passed by in the blink of an eye in the fiery atmosphere of the scene.
Thousands of spectators in the hall almost invariably felt a sense of unfinished business when they saw Linda Evangelista, the last person to close the show, disappearing from the backstage exit.
For the media people who were invited to participate in this big show, many had the urge to record something.
In just five minutes of catwalk, there are so many things to like about the lighting and music stage, the angel costume styling and underwear design, and even the Victoria's Secret Angels participating in the catwalk themselves.
If you cannot record it immediately, you may not be able to collect the flash of inspiration at this time later.
In traditional catwalks, the media people holding notepads in the audience are often just showing off.
This time, due to the on-site shooting effect, the Victoria's Secret Show team reminded participating media members in advance not to bring notepads and just watch the show. If you have any questions, the team will answer them after the show and also provide all the information needed by the media.
Therefore, when I don’t want to write, I often need to bring a pen and paper.
This time I desperately wanted to write something down, but I couldn't. This heart-wrenching feeling was simply a kind of torture.
Fortunately, there was about five minutes of waiting time between the two topics, so some media people simply got up and either looked for pens and paper to take notes, or re-instructed the photographers of their own media who often took pictures about the following precautions.
After a brief interval, the second theme soon arrives.
Heavenly love.
When NLSN's song "Paradise" started playing, a reporter from Rolling Stone magazine felt like he was going crazy.
What a waste!
What a waste!
The song "Angels" just released is enough to support a best-selling album.
According to industry practice, most singers usually only prepare one or two outstanding title songs for an album, and most of the others are just make-up. This is also the reason why record giants opposed the split and sale of record singles in the later digital era. Once split, most of the songs in many albums would become unavailable.
However, now, Simon Westeros has directly released top singles that are enough to support a best-selling album, just to accompany a fashion show.
Isn't this a squandering or what? !
I originally had some illusions, thinking that one "Angels" and one "Paradise" should be the two best ones. However, when the third song "Blank Space" appeared, the person sitting in the audience from "Rolling Stone" 》The magazine reporter planned to find a guy and beat him up.
Of course, after the beating, hug your thighs and shout "Oh my god".
Swift's classic single "Blank Space", which transformed from country to pop, is naturally no worse than the previous two songs. For professional musicians, the arrangement and soundtrack skills contained in it are even better.
In the original time and space, this song also appeared on the T stage of the Victoria's Secret show, and it also fits perfectly with the Victoria's Secret show.
