The concert was officially scheduled in early March. Although Disney wanted to hold a US tour, how could Angela agree? She didn't need to use this to maintain her popularity or make money from it. Considering the concert It's just because she plans to start soon and she has to go to college, so she will spend less time on music, so she temporarily appeases her fans and maintains her image. In this case, who can force her to do something
However, it is obviously not possible to hold only one event, so what difference will it make with fans? And FANS will definitely not agree, so after considering various factors, after repeated deliberation, it was decided to hold three concerts in Los Angeles and New York each, which takes up not much time and can satisfy the desires of fans to a certain extent. .
However, the decision is just the beginning. There are still many things that need to continue to be discussed and prepared, such as costumes, procedures, repertoire or venues. Needless to say, New York has no choice other than Madison Square Garden. There have been various events held there. basketball, ice hockey, concerts—the last Perlman concert was here, as was John Ley. But Los Angeles is not a good choice. The biggest problem is the capacity of the venue. There are not many venues with both status and seats. The largest indoor hall can accommodate about 6,000 people, even half of the square garden. The Staples Center can accommodate more than 10,000 people, but unfortunately it has just broken ground.
If indoors are not suitable, what about outdoor? The Memorial Stadium is big enough - it can accommodate nearly 100,000 people - and you don't have to worry about being full, but the problem is that many things are difficult to get out of the door, and if this is the case, should New York consider another venue? So after thinking about it again and again, the record company finally chose the sacred auditorium, and set up standing tickets at the same time, basically enough for 10,000 people.
The venue issue is just an episode in the preparations. It is nothing compared to other disputes. For example, Angela always insists on her own opinions on clothing. It is well known that a concert requires at least three or four sets of clothes. Angela is definitely no exception, so she has very strict requirements on clothing. It is absolutely impossible to reveal too much too hot, and that kind of swimsuit-style thing is not even thought of, it will make the record company as depressed.
However, what annoyed them the most was that Angela, in the name of not affecting the AP exam, not only set the concert time in mid-May, but also stipulated that large-scale publicity could only be done after the exam. Fortunately, she didn't "bully" them too much. The day after the AP exam, she came to the Holy Auditorium to start rehearsing, and the record company had disclosed the news in a half-covered way. On the contrary, the popularity of the concert was instantly heated up. Tickets were sold out within a few hours of the sale. Many fans who came to hear the news from nearby states were disappointed and cried because they did not sell tickets. A $60 ticket on the Internet was even fired for a few days. Hundreds or even thousands.
Angela also knew about these things, but she could only shrug her shoulders to express her regret, and then comforted a few words in the blog. At this time, her main energy was spent on rehearsals. Although the conditions she put forward to the record company were very harsh, she did nothing. Inconsistent, even when she sang "Loving You" and "Time to say goodbye", which gave her some headaches, she still tried her best - the former had to sing the live dolphin sound, while the latter was criticized by the critics at the time. A complete mess. But this is not the most headache for her, the most headache is changing clothes and dancing in the middle.
Every minute at a concert is precious, so changing clothes must be as fast as a model walking on a runway, and in the same way, the clothes inside should be as simple as possible. This is too bad for Angela, she doesn't want bumps and dew spots to happen, and even if she wants to undress in front of men, she won't even kill her.
Fortunately, the sets of clothes that were finally determined are very good. The company also replaced all the people who helped change clothes with women. In addition, Angela also prepared things such as breast pastes, and then gritted her teeth and continued to rehearse hard. The time to change into the jeans was even half a minute earlier than the scheduled time, so the record company that was still complaining was silent.
As for dancing, her "puppet dance" image, which is somewhat blunt no matter what, is still being laughed at, so it is not a small difficulty. It is impossible to say that Angela does not have any talent at all. After all, the duet dance is still very good, and the motor nerves are not bad. Although the kung fu is full of punches and embroidered legs, it is still prudent to fight seriously.
So most of it is her psychological problem. After all, she didn't dance in her previous life, and in pas de deux, men control the rhythm and goosebumps when she comes into contact with some men, so Angela is very resistant to wiggling around on the stage to show herself off. body of.
But not now, it is absolutely impossible not to dance at the concert, and she still has so many dance songs. Fortunately, the record company saw something from the previous clothing and changing problems, so they replaced all the backup dancers with women, and hired Katrina Erwick, a dancer known for showing female vitality and sexiness, to be responsible for the choreography. .
Since Disney thought about her like this, Angela naturally reciprocated for her hard work. She tried her best not to think about so many things and let go of Katrina's guidance at the rhythm. To express one's own personality, "Flying Polka" is a product of this situation.
This song is a Finnish folk song that Angela overheard at the beginning. It may not be very famous now and is only popular in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, but Angela knows that this song will be called "Song of Onion" in the future!
This ballad is already rich in rhythm, but after re-arranging it into electronic dance music, it is more lively and light, which is very suitable for young people, so Angela wants to use it for her own use. She originally planned to include it in this year's new album. , but since the concert has been decided, then you might as well get the performance at the concert as a surprise.
Since it has been adapted into an electronic dance music, of course it needs to match the dance, but Angela was not very satisfied with the several versions that Katrina made up, and always felt that something was missing. The video of stepping on the pulley to the accompaniment of "Song", although it was already very blurred, gave her a hint, so I discussed with Katrina to express the rhythm of the music mainly with the movements of the lower body, especially the change of steps, and the result was effective. Surprisingly good.
After constant hard work - Angela put everything aside and threw herself into rehearsals over and over again, the concert was a huge success, and reporters who watched that night admitted that her performance on stage was terrific. Call it perfect.
Whether it's dancing or singing, or the four different temperaments revealed by the four stages, and the ingenious and ingenious arrangement—the magic appears and disappears, songs that match the temperament of different stages, especially the last three songs: The performances of "Love you", "My heart will go on" and "Time to say goodbye" have all reached a very high level, and even the last "Encone"
Later, when Angela sang "Time to say goodbye", many fans in the audience screamed and passed out.
"The girl who used to be a grown up now seems to be able to interpret her own style in any song. It's a pleasure to watch her music go from youthful to mature." An article in "Bulletin" wrote so.
"Congratulations, it's perfect, Angela!" Everyone congratulated the girl with wine glasses, and Angela, who had changed into a special evening dress for the banquet, kept raising her glass in return. Of course, the amber liquid in her glass was apple juice. Even though Angela is 18 years old, this is a public place in a hotel.
"You also think it's perfect?" After dealing with another group of people, Angela walked over to her friend.
"Of course, I think you are so handsome when you play the electric guitar, especially the song "If you fell my love", which is very charming." Avril said excitedly, and her petite figure in the evening dress looked generous and elegant. cute.
"If there is another time, I will never sit next to her! No one can stand a voice of up to 300 decibels per minute." Scarlett complained at this time, she was also wearing an evening dress, but she was obviously old As big as Avril Lavigne, but the bulging chest makes people wonder if there will be ditches to see if she wears low-cut clothes.
"Avril is just too excited, after all, it's not so easy for her to come to New York in Canada." Although Liv, who rounded up the field, continued her style in the name, but now it is basically only a little vague in pronunciation. The situation no longer occurs, making Angela so happy that she finally spelled her own name, but at the same time she can't help but have some small regrets, Liv, who often misses other people's names, is the cutest.
"Well, Manny, there are two more games in New York anyway. If you still want to see it, I can arrange a free seat for you, and no one will disturb you with screaming." Angela revealed that she was innocent. With a sinister smile, "If you think it's suitable, if you hold a concert in the future, it will be your exclusive place."
"Really?" Scarlett's eyes lit up, but Natalie's voice rang out immediately: "Are you going to hang her in the air, or let her sit with the musicians on stage?"
"Don't be so exaggerated, Nat," Angela smiled and waved her hand, "I just want to arrange a chair at the front of the stage, it must be very pleasant to sit there."
Scarlett rolled her eyes immediately: "This is a really good idea, only a fool would agree."
"Actually, there's another way," Avril said with a grin. "You can change careers to be a singer, Manny, and perform on stage with Angie, so it doesn't bother you—unless you think Angie is screaming too."
Said that she puffed up her chest, and said ambitiously: "This is also my moon mark. In a few years, I will definitely be able to perform on the same stage with Anji. I want to be a good singer like her!"
"Wow, it seems that Angie can only reward your admiration for her by kissing you." Scarlett said narrowly, but Avril still looked at Angela with a longing look, and was stared at by this gaze. Angela, who was restless, finally looked around helplessly, and then quickly kissed her cheek.
"I want it too!" Seeing that her joke became a reality, Scarlett quickly raised her hand, Angela gave her a funny and angrily look, and also looked left and right, and then the thief was also on her face Kissed.
"Hey hey, I want it too." Liv, who was very interested, also stepped in at this time, intentional or unintentional? who knows.
Angela rolled her eyes, and smeared her cheek with lightning speed, then stared at the three girls: "Now you are satisfied?"
"And one more?" Scarlett called out, pointing at Natalie immediately.
"Don't you want to kiss all the ladies at the celebration tonight?" Natalie raised her arms and looked at her with a half-smile, the purple-black evening dress with thin shoulders gave her a glamorous temperament more outstanding.
Angela twitched the corners of her mouth and wanted to smile bitterly. At the end of the first concert in Los Angeles, she kissed Jessica unintentionally because her head was dizzy. In the end, she had to cover up the scene of kissing all the women. She was secretly filmed by a reporter who sneaked into the backstage. Fortunately, this guy didn't make random guesses during the report. He just laughed at her when she was too excited and started to go wild. She couldn't even maintain her proper manners, but in Natalie's eyes...
Boo! With a soft sound, Natalie's eyes widened. Angela quickly touched each other's lips while the three guys were discussing what career they wanted to perform on the same stage with her. Well, if you don't pay attention, you'll just think she's kissing the face like before.
Natalie, who had reacted, glared at her angrily, Angela winked with a smile, Natalie turned her head slightly and hummed silently, while Angela raised her eyebrows, showing an innocent look. , it's enough for the mime to play here, the two exchanged glances that only they could understand and then smiled at each other.
"By the way, congratulations to you for winning the AP National Scholar Award, you are a genius." Although Natalie was sarcastic, her sincerity was unmistakable.
"Don't call me a genius, I'm just lucky." Angela was a little embarrassed. In this AP exam, she chose Art, American Literature, and Economics, but only 50% of them got B's, which she didn't expect. The final grades were A-, B+, and B in order, so the average score reached 4.6. In addition, she took a total of 9 AP lessons, including 4 foreign languages, so even if they did not take the exam at the same time, the American University Council The conference still awarded the AP National Scholar Award, and it can be said that she has no problem going to any university in the United States or in the world.
"If it's just luck, shouldn't I leave my homework and go to church to pray?" Natalie curled her lips, "You know, my goal is also the National Scholar Award."
Angela didn't know what to say, but fortunately Avril and the others intervened in time: "We've decided!"
"Decided? Have you decided to change careers? What are there?" Angela said jokingly.
"No, we decided to form a band." Avril said seriously, "You lead vocals, I play guitar, and then they do the bass, drums, and keyboards."
"It sounds good, but... do you have time?" Angela grinned and folded her arms.
"Hey, wait, I'm not interested, whether you're joking or telling the truth." Natalie immediately rejected their proposal, and after thinking about it, she raised her lips again: "Unless I'm the lead singer."
"No problem, Angie can also play the bass." Avril immediately shouted, with a strong meaning that it must be established.
"Wait, this hasn't been discussed yet, is it?" Scarlett took over the topic again, and the girls immediately argued until Jonathan's voice came out: "My beautiful ladies, you can let me and Angie talk privately. A few words?"
The girls stopped arguing immediately, looked at Angela and then at Jonathan, shrugged, and left with a smile on their mouths, but the smiles were different, but they couldn't be seen because they covered their mouths.
"Ha, does my boyfriend have anything to do with me?" Angela asked in a low voice jokingly, "I think it's not enough to send me such a big bouquet of flowers, and do you want to express your feelings in other ways?"
"Don't be joking." Jonathan smiled wryly, "I just thought, could something start?"
Angela thought about it seriously: "It's okay, but I suggest starting from the last concert."
"Thank God." Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's fine."
"What? Is it so painful to be my boyfriend?" Angela said jokingly.
"Does this even need to be said?!" Jonathan shook his head, with a rather unbearable taste of the past, "It doesn't matter if you are entangled by reporters occasionally, but as long as you make a big move, they will inevitably chase after you and ask this question, whatever you say. They can interpret countless content, and even guess every day whether we are divided or not."
"If you're used to it, it means that you can be a public figure too." Angela teased, "And you should be glad we're not together, otherwise they might follow you 24 hours a day to see if you can steal it."
"Obviously, breaking up was a wise decision." Jonathan said very seriously, and that appearance made Angela really want to laugh.
"Sorry, I hope we didn't disturb you." A familiar voice came over, which made Angela roll her eyes. Not only did the Hilton sisters watch three games in Los Angeles, but they even came to New York. I really don't know what to say. what's good.
"Of course not, in fact I'm leaving." Jonathan nodded politely and turned away, which made Angela depressed. She knew that Jonathan was well-intentioned, but... Fortunately, Ivanka Te came with them. Trump.
"Hi, Pari, Nikki, and Ini." The girl greeted with a smile. Wouldn't it be better with Ivanka? While thinking like this, I couldn't help but sighed in my heart. Sometimes socializing is really tiring.
So when the celebration feast was over, she almost collapsed in her seat when she got into the car.
"Did anyone notice me?" Angela, who lowered her body, asked lazily.
"I don't think so, ma'am," replied Wyde Fiennes in the passenger seat.
"Okay, then let's go to Long Island, Buckt knows the way, you can just be careful about the situation around you." Angela nodded, anyway, the hotel bed is still not as comfortable as the home bed, unless Nat is with him.
Angela couldn't help but curled her lips, but thinking that her grandparents should still be waiting for her, she couldn't help but feel a little happy.
correct! A thought suddenly popped into her head, maybe... I can find out what happened to that guy Ryan from Granny? !
