Remember [??] in one second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.
Amid the rapid drumming of the British guard of honor, the camera began to switch quickly. The busy backstage, gorgeous scene, and powerful guest lineup were displayed in front of the audience. Mi supermodel is officially displayed in front of thousands of households through the TV screen.
After going through commercials between the two programs, a large part of the cumulative 56 million viewers of the final episode of "Survivor" has been lost, and only about 35 million are left in the end.
Although the Victoria's Secret annual show has experienced continuous publicity for half a year, and Eric Williams, who has created a series of box office miracles, personally operated it, most ordinary viewers still subconsciously feel that the fashion show is a Things are too far away from their lives, and they switched to the TV channel one after another. Apart from the audience who stayed on the abc channel who were really interested in this annual Neiyi show, a large proportion of them were purely for Eric. The Victoria's Secret Show was curious and wanted to take a look. They didn't even put down the remote control in their hands. They planned to change the channel at any time if this episode of Yixiu failed to meet their expectations.
But just within one minute of the show's start, the tense atmosphere created by the sound of drums, the sound of headsets, and the gorgeous quick-cut shots immediately locked most of the hesitant viewers on the abc channel. When the punk rock music played, the passionate music and hot supermodels directly stimulated the adrenaline rush of many audiences.
After the theme of the British Invasion ended, many viewers seemed to have just reacted in front of the televisions of thousands of households, and started discussing with their family members or friends.
In an apartment in Midtown Manhattan, a pair of girlfriends named Charlotte and Alice who had met Eric in a disco on the Upper East Side were no longer the young girls who had just worked. After several years of experience in the workplace, the two women have grown into members of the Manhattan workplace elite. At the same time, they have also changed from the locomotive apartment on the corner of the street to the current high-level white-collar residence. However, because the encounter left a deep impression on them, the two women have kept paying close attention to Eric for several years. Therefore, when they learned that the "Victoria's Secret Annual Show" would be broadcast tonight, the two girls sat in front of the TV early.
The passionate punk rock came to an end, watching Cindy Crawford, who was closing the scene on the TV screen, disappear into the backstage entrance in a gorgeous angel outfit. The long-haired and bold Charlotte hugged a pillow and patted it vigorously, and couldn't help feeling: "It's so beautiful, and the music is also great, as expected of my Eric. Well, this guy is such a genius. Alice. If only I could be on this stage, especially the butterfly angel outfit in the middle, what's the name of the Victoria's Secret angel, do you know?"
"Stephanie Seymour, didn't you read the gossip some time ago, she pushed down the model named Heidi Klum, Heidi Klum was fired from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for talking nonsense Except, I think she must regret it now," Alice is no longer the shy girl she was when she met Eric, because of her attention to fashion. [ㄨ]She is more familiar with these fashion gossips than the carefree best friend next to her. Her eyes are still tightly locked on the TV screen playing the tidbits. Alice continued to say in a somewhat excited tone: "Charlotte, pay attention Have you got the third set of underwear, the one with pink tassels, let’s go to the Victoria’s Secret flagship store on Fifth Avenue tomorrow, okay, I want that set of underwear.”
Charlotte recalled, and said: "That set, if it is on sale, I will definitely buy one. But even if the Neiyi in these fashion shows are to be sold publicly, it will take a few months."
Alice felt a little regretful, but remembered the subtitle prompt at the beginning of the program, and said, "Didn't the TV just say that you can participate in the interaction through the Yahoo website. Maybe we can go online and try it out."
After speaking, Alice couldn't wait to get up and walk to the computer desk in the corner of the living room, turned on the IBM desktop computer that the two of them bought together, and quickly logged into the Yahoo website.
At this time, the Yahoo Portal has placed the topic of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on the homepage. In addition to the most popular Victoria’s Secret Angel voting page, there are also direct links to the official website of Victoria’s Secret and the Victoria’s Secret discussion area on the Yahoo Forum. . Alice hesitated. After logging into the Yahoo account, she was about to click on the Victoria's Secret theme discussion area to see what netizens said, when Charlotte, who was behind her, couldn't wait to point to the voting page link: "Hey, Alice, enter this page, I want to Vote for Stephanie Seymour."
Alice had no choice but to click on the voting page, and found that the popular angel Diane Kruger, who ranked first, had more than 9,000 votes in just a few minutes, and Cindy Crawford, who ranked second, had more than 9,000 votes. It is also close to 8000.
"It's less than ten minutes, how come there are so many people voting?" Charlotte was a little surprised to see that her favorite Stephanie Seymour also had 1355 votes, and forty supermodels voted for ten. Already had a total of more than 130,000 votes within minutes.
Alice pointed to a line of comments on the page, and said: "Look at the voting rules, there are prizes, each Yahoo account can vote for a favorite Victoria's Secret Angel every day, and the website will randomly select 1,000 winning users every day, The prize is a hardcover video of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show or a $29.90 Victoria's Secret store coupon."
"1000 people, so the chances of winning the lottery are quite high," Charlotte said, and directly used Alice's account to vote for Stephanie Seymour. After seeing the vote, Yahoo's mailbox client rang After a notification sound, Charlotte smiled, but instead of clicking on Alice's mailbox, she changed her account and voted again. While doing so, she said, "Hey, you said that if we Register 100 accounts, so the chance of winning is higher?"
Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you see the note under the voting rules? Registered users after December 6th cannot participate in this voting. [ㄨ]"
"It's such a pity," Charlotte said. After voting, she ran to the sofa excitedly, picked up the phone and dialed the number, intending to let the friends who mobilized themselves participate in voting together, living in Manhattan In such a metropolis, Charlotte's friends can basically have access to the Internet that has just emerged in recent years.
Alice waited for her girlfriends to leave, and while watching the second topic on the TV, she casually clicked on the Victoria's Secret theme discussion area in the Yahoo community. Finding that the entire discussion area was already boiling, and the number of replies to the top posts reached as many as several thousand, Alice published a post casually, turned around and continued to watch the live broadcast of Victoria's Secret on TV for a while. In just a minute or two, after turning around and refreshing the page again, I found that my post had been pushed to the fifth page.
Compared to Alice and Charlotte, the Manhattan girlfriends who focused most of their attention on Neixiu itself, a large part of the audience was also attracted by the opening "my-songs-kno-what-seduce-did-in-the- dark" attracts you.
In Miami, Florida, which also belongs to the east coast, a birthday party was being held at a beach bar by the sea. Today's birthday star is the lead singer of an underground band with a good reputation in Miami, so most of the party invitations are rock youths in avant-garde costumes, which also makes the whole bar look like a mess amidst the frenzied rock music, and some people hug each other amidst the noise. It was not even possible to tell whether the other party was a man or a woman, and some people were yelling into the microphone narcissistically, and there were even a few hookahs being passed around in the crowd.
Jay, the tattooed owner of the bar in his early forties, seems to be used to this kind of scene, and he doesn't mean to stop him at all. Watching the last episode of "Survivor" on the wall-mounted TV behind the bar.
After "Survivor" ended. Jay was going to change the channel, but today's birthday star is also the lead singer of the so-called 'Dark Night' Dominique, blindfolded, went to the bar to ask for a drink, Jay had to temporarily give up changing the channel, turned to the wine cabinet, and mixed a glass of Dominic's order Jay turned around, but found that Dominic was staring straight at the wall-mounted TV. Jay followed Dominic's gaze. Because the bar was too noisy, Jay could only faintly hear the sound coming from the TV. music. Glancing at Dominic's dull eyes, a trace of mockery flashed in Jay's eyes. He pushed the wine glass over and said loudly, "These girls are hot. Aren't they?"
As if awakened by Jay's voice, Dominic suddenly turned around and yelled something at the messy bar, but didn't get much response.
Jay, who heard Dominic's voice, was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and handed Dominic a bottle of wine on the bar, saying, "Why don't you try this."
Dominique took the full bottle of champagne and weighed it in his hand. It hit the ground suddenly, and the full bottle of champagne burst, making a muffled bang, but it attracted everyone's attention.
"I said, it's all fucking, give me peace!"
Amidst the roar, the bar suddenly fell silent, and the voice from the wall-mounted TV seemed to break through all obstacles and quickly filled the entire bar.
*…
*Somewhere, the Garden of Eden is crumbling
*I've seen the end times
*Even if you can annihilate all beings and destroy everything, I am not afraid
*tears on her eyelashes
* Blur the world
*The demonic me is the flower of gray childhood
*my singing
*Through the truth and falsehood in the darkness
*So tear it down, light it up, destroy it
*…
The music on the TV fell, and someone in the quiet bar suddenly sighed: "This guy is a punk,"
At the same time, Dominique, who was leaning on the bar, felt that his long-lost love for music seemed to be ignited again, as if he had returned to the innocence when he got his first guitar at the age of thirteen. Years ago, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and some inexplicable sadness came from it.
Recalling the music just now, Dominic suddenly found that he knew nothing about the song except for some melodies and lyrics that he accidentally wrote down. He turned to look at the crowd: "Hey, who are you, does anyone know which band this is? ?”
No one answered. After a while, a teenager with freckles stepped forward timidly. Dominique recognized that this little guy named Simmons had recently joined his circle. The little guy's family background seemed to be pretty good. , It was only because I yearned for this circle that I rushed in rashly.
"Nick, I read last month's "Rolling Stone" magazine. The founder of the magazine, Jane Wenner, specifically mentioned the theme music of this Victoria's Secret show in an article. It seems that these bands are all Fireflies. The record's upcoming newcomers have not yet released singles or albums, and Firefly Records has not given their information. However, Jane Wenner mentioned in the article that the band will perform a song next, such as The first one is even more shocking." Simmons' voice was a little weak, and in his opinion, since all the people around him are rock youths, they should like "Rolling Stones" very much. It's just that he didn't know that most of these people hadn't touched books and magazines for many years.
Hearing that Simmons said there was another song, Dominique's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you have any more information about this band?"
Simmons thought for a while, and said: "No, but. I think now that the big show has been officially broadcast, some relevant news should be revealed in the music section of the Yahoo Forum, because Yahoo is also the owner of Eric Williams. Invested in."
Dominic subconsciously asked: "Yahoo, what is that?"
Simmons was taken aback for a moment, but he explained it patiently. After listening to it, Dominic looked at the crowd again and said, "Which one of you has a computer at home, can you let me use it."
"Nick, I have it at home," Simmons replied again: "And. My parents are not at home today, you can go to my house."
Dominic nodded, straightened up impatiently, but soon thought of what Simmons said just now, glanced at the TV screen that was still playing, and waved to everyone in the bar: "That's it for today, everyone who should get out, Simon , when I finish watching the next song of that band, I will go to your house."
Although most people are appreciative of this gorgeous Ney fashion show. But there are also many conservative personnel shaking their heads at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show that is being played on the TV screen. Thomas Peck, a well-known current political commentator of the New York Times who had been watching "Survivor" with great interest, appeared on the TV screen with scantily clad Victoria's Secret angels, the alliance sent a pair of children who had just entered junior high school Rushing to the bedroom, he gritted his teeth and said to the TV screen: "It's ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous. How could abc allow this kind of thing to appear on public television."
Thomas Peck's wife didn't have such a big reaction as her husband, and said: "I think it's not bad, no one said that public TV stations can't show Neiyi scenes?"
"But... it's not the same. This kind of thing is too sexually suggestive, and. This music, no, this kind of thing is absolutely intolerable. I will write to the fcc to complain about this tomorrow. No, I am now Just go and write." With that said, Thomas Peck got up and walked into the study under the helpless eyes of his wife.
Although tens of millions of viewers have different concerns about the Victoria's Secret show, there is no doubt that the Victoria's Secret show still firmly catches the attention of too many people.
Eric thought that after the broadcast, the original 35 million viewership data would drop, but even he himself had to admit that he had neglected the potential of the Victoria's Secret show, because the viewership data at half an hour of the show not only did not fall, but There was an increase in ratings of up to 6 million, and the ratings data easily rebounded to 41 million.
In the conference room of the abc headquarters, everyone was overjoyed in the face of the rising ratings against the market. ABC President Robert Iger originally hoped to take advantage of the leading edge of the final episode of "Survivor" and select a hot summer movie from Firefly to play, so as to ensure that tonight's prime-time viewing data will remain at an average of 40 million. In terms of level, he can get more advertising revenue with this, so he has always been a bit slanderous about Eric's decision to insist on broadcasting the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. A little more admiration and trust.
On the other side of the desk, the five Victoria's Secret spokesmen gathered together focused on the popular angel voting page. Looking at the total number of votes that had accumulated more than 500,000 in more than half an hour, the five girls appeared to be still He was very reserved, but the joy on his face was hard to hide.
Although they are the top supermodels in the fashion industry, it is the first time that they have received such a large-scale attention from ordinary people. High popularity of course means high returns from commercial endorsements. I am thinking of a career that will reach a new level in the future. , the excitement in their hearts can be imagined.
Cindy Crawford looked at Diane Kruger, who had nearly 50,000 votes on the voting page. Although she had less than 3,000 votes behind Diane Kruger, she still couldn't hide her jealousy , She knew that the other three women around her must be thinking the same way. If it weren't for the women around her, Cindy Crawford might have logged into her Yahoo account to vote for herself, and even made up her mind to contact Some people swipe their tickets for themselves.
Thinking of this, Cindy Crawford looked up at Eric, who was opposite, and glanced at Tyra Banks's more than 32,000 votes. Banks is one of the five key publicity spokespersons, but Cindy Crawford feels in her heart that Tyra Banks is a black man after all, well, it is a light-skinned and very attractive chocolate color, but Because of the racial disadvantage and Tyra Banks' previous status in the fashion industry, Cindy Crawford felt that it was impossible for Tyra Banks to get more than 30,000 votes due to her inherent racial disadvantage. There may be something ulterior insider in it.
Maybe it was a long time in ecstasy, Cindy Crawford found that Eric had noticed that she was looking at him, and looked up lightly, as if he had directly seen through Cindy Crawford's mind. Under Eric's eyes, Cindy Crawford felt a little guilty for no reason, and quickly lowered her head, but then muttered in her heart: "Really, did I do anything shameful? Why should I be afraid of him?" .”
After cheering herself up like this, Cindy Crawford looked up and looked over again, but Eric had already turned his head and chatted with Robert Iger beside him.
Just as she was about to look away, Cindy Crawford noticed that Emily Brighton suddenly raised her head, and said to Eric, "Eric, why did the page of Victoria's Secret Forum suddenly freeze? "(To be continued.)
