"Then, are you still planning to go to the studio to record? Or do you plan to sign a professional music manager? If necessary, I can make a few calls now." Andy's face remained the same. With a smile like Maitreya Buddha, although Ren Li closed his eyes tightly, he couldn't see it at all.
Renly could feel the gnashing of teeth in Andy's words, and he waved his hand casually, "What are you doing in such a hurry." That unhurried gesture made Andy almost unable to change in one breath, "At least, I need to first Take a shower." After speaking, Renly stood up shyly and walked towards the bathroom with a languid pace.
Watching Renly disappear into the bathroom door, Andy let out a long sigh to calm his turbulent mood.
He also knew that he was a little rude today, and the most important thing was that in less than 48 hours, there were too many accidents.
Before the Emmys, he had just accepted Renly's managerial job and didn't have enough time to start the business, so he set his first target at the Toronto Film Festival, but who knows, last night's awards ceremony brought a surprise , Renly's award disrupted the rhythm, and there was even a rookie mistake of not receiving Renly.
Immediately following the celebration banquet, Renly's position has naturally undergone important changes, and many top big-name producers and actors in the industry have arrived at the scene, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Renly. Under the deliberate guidance of Steven Spielberg, Andy took Renly to meet a lot of big-name people - and ended up getting drunk.
And then this morning.
Accidents come one after another, and flaws come one after another. Although they are all small mistakes, for Andy, these mistakes are avoidable, which is why his emotions started to get restless. Now, he must calm himself down, regain his original rhythm, and make the most accurate arrangements in the shortest time. It's a great opportunity, and he won't miss it easily.
Taking advantage of Renly's shower, Andy turned on the desktop computer in the hotel room.
If it was another agent, Renly was not only a newcomer, but he had just signed a contract a few days ago, and they might have agreed to a random hotel room and dealt with the Emmys first; but Andy had the foresight to book the Sunset Tower. The hotel's luxury suites, as the first step in Renly's image project, now seem to be the right decision. Not to mention whether there are reporters waiting downstairs, it is much easier for him to handle his work now.
Open the YouTube again, and the video of "Ophelia" has actually entered the top 20 of the popular video list. The popular bonus effect of the Emmy Awards is very obvious, and the speed of the jump has far exceeded expectations - people are not concerned about one. Street performance, but a street performance after an Emmy winner ditched the gala party.
Andy felt that he knew too little about Renly. Although he knew about the single "Cleopatra" before, it was only a popular video on YouTube, and a lot of such videos appeared every day, and the single's results on the billboard were lackluster. It's like a cameo in the nature of playing tickets, which is not worth mentioning. But now it seems that there is more to be discovered about Renly's experience in the pioneer village.
Suddenly, Andy remembered something, Renly was from the West End and Broadway in London, so aside from the stage play, has Renly ever acted in a musical
If he could, he could have taken on a stage play for Renly—or a musical, and to the uninitiated, choosing the West End and Broadway was a thankless task that would not attract much attention. It is really poor, but only the real insiders know that acting in a stage play is an absolute plus point for academics; once he wins the Tony Award, it is equivalent to setting a sign in Hollywood - a sign with outstanding strength and solid basic skills. .
Hugh-Ja became popular in Hollywood with the role of "Wolverine". It stands to reason that commercial movies and cartoon characters are the most hated things in the academic school, but in fact, the academy has always hated Hugh. There is a preference, in the final analysis, because Hugh has worked hard on Broadway for a long time, and has a Tony Award.
Andy's thoughts scattered immediately, and he was faintly excited. He was looking forward to Renly's ultimate limit.
Immediately, Andy retracted his chaotic thoughts and clicked "Cleopatra" in the search window of YouTube. He originally planned to see the current click trend of this video, but unexpectedly, the page jumped out a lot. Related video, which is really unexpected.
Taking a closer look, Andy raised his eyebrows, and the surprise in his eyes became more intense - these related videos are actually cover videos!
Social networks headed by YouTube and Facebook are changing people's lives. In 2008, Justin-Bieber's appearance on YouTube became a brand-new symbol of the Internet era in the new century. In the past two years , Justin swept the army with the attitude of an idol, and the speed of his popularity was astounding, and it almost became a cultural phenomenon.
After that, cover singing has become a brand new trend. Many people who dream of singing will release their own cover singing videos one after another, hoping to be favored by big-name managers or record companies. A group of professional cover singers have even emerged on the Internet to make a living.
However, these cover singers do not cover any songs. In order to attract enough attention, their cover choices are also very particular, either those immortal classics that have been sung for a long time, or the latest popular new songs by top big names, only That way, people will click through to watch it. If they just cover some indie music that no one has heard all day, they are destined to fail.
"The Guard is Here"
Now, at this very moment, there is actually a cover video of "Cleopatra"? This is even more popular than the "US Weekly" scoop, and Andy feels that the development of things seems to be far beyond his expectations.
An independent song without a channel, a folk minor tune with a slanted sword, an obscure melody that did not participate in any publicity or even a music video, someone would actually be willing to cover it! This is absolutely abnormal!
Andy clicked in and took a look. His knowledge of music is relatively limited, but he has heard of YouTube cover stars, because some cover singers have become warm-up guests at big-name singers' concerts, and even with The record company successfully signed a contract.
The one with the highest click-through rate is Conor Maynard (aynard), a young British singer who is only seventeen years old this year, but his personal channel on YouTube has more than 400,000 subscribers, which can be said to be in the limelight Covering the celebrity, he not only sang "Cleopatra", but also "Ophelia". Both songs were uploaded in less than an hour, but at this time, the hit rate has both exceeded 80,000. , the attention is really terrifying.
The second is a female singer, Tiffany-Alvord. This little girl is only 18 years old. She became popular because of her cover of Taylor Swift's songs. Subscribe to her personal YouTube page. The number has reached 250,000, and he is also one of the hottest cover singers. What she is best at is undoubtedly the lyrical minor. Under her interpretation, "Cleopatra" has an added sadness and sadness, like a fresh little poem. The video was uploaded only 20 minutes ago, and the click-through rate has exceeded 10,000, and the upward momentum cannot be underestimated.
The development of things not only exceeded expectations, but the explosive momentum was quite unstoppable. When returning to the homepage, the live video of "Cleopatra" had also entered the top 20 list of popular videos. Filia" even made it to the top ten.
Andy realized that he needed to recalibrate his assessment now.
It is conceivable that if "Ophelia" is released as a single in the next week or two, it is bound to achieve excellent sales results; but as a manager, as Renly said, Andy is more inclined to It is the actor part, he is not concerned about the single score of "Ophelia", but the positive impact that the topic effect can bring.
For example, the single has sparked heated discussions, coupled with the unpopular Emmy award, the chances of Renly appearing on the talk show skyrocketed. It is also difficult to attend a talk show alone. Once Renly is able to walk on the TV screen, the promotion of such a groundless independent work as "Buried Alive" will immediately open up.
For another example, the topic effect of street performances after the awards ceremony has spread in the industry, which is far more interesting than the "Emmy Award for Best Actor in Miniseries and TV Movies", and word of mouth can be discussed as an anecdote. Next, it's a lot easier when Andy looks for a gig for Renly, whether it's an independent film or a commercial.
Therefore, what Andy needs to consider most now is not the Toronto Film Festival that will kick off next week, but how to maximize the wave created by "Ophelia" this time before heading to Toronto. Use the characteristics of the rapid spread of the network to achieve the goal.
After thinking about it, Andy rummaged through his cell phone address book, looked for a while, and then made a call, just after a short wait, the other party answered the phone, "Hey, Jordin, It's me, Andy Rogers." On the other end of the phone was Billboard reporter Jordin-Nicole.
Corresponding to the weekly bulletin board, the "Billboard" magazine is also a popular weather vane. They weaken the professional authority and report the pop music market as much as possible with indexes such as popularity, popularity, and popularity, which are very popular among teenagers. .
"Ha, I didn't expect that I would call you..." Facing the ridicule on the other end of the phone, Andy regained his usual demeanor, and went back to ridicule leisurely.
