Chapter 100： visit in person

William Wood couldn't be more satisfied with his trip to Hollywood.

In the Hollywood 1ù Tian Theater, William Wood saw the performance that radiated thousands of brilliance on the stage. In his heart, this is Evan Bell, who is even more dazzling than the "Death Illusion". He seems to be for the stage. He was average, just standing in the center of the stage and playing the guitar, he easily attracted the attention of the whole world. Although his voice was still a little immature and not fully developed, the appeal was more than age and Experience, straight to the heart.

Backstage at the theater, William Wood met Aegis Bell himself, and became the first reporter to get a phone call from his agent, Teddy Bell, and won the favor of the other party, which also convinced William Wood that he was mediocre. Journalism finally ushered in a turning point.

In the cafe next to the theater, William Wood finally interviewed Evan Bell. Of course, this is also his second interview for this newcomer who is a genius.

"Death Illusion" and "Sniper Phone Booth" have not been officially released on a large scale, so Gu Luobei can't be regarded as a walk-out, but can only be regarded as an appearance, only half-footed into the entertainment industry.

, "Evan Bell from Broadway, "Death Illusion, to a round of applause at the Sundance Film Festival," Snipe the Phone Booth, another round of praise during filming, but none of us had the chance to see the miracle of it all, The release date of both films has not been finalized, and the name Evan Bell is completely unfamiliar.

But when "It's just a dream, when it rings in our ears, everyone will rush to search for Evan Bell's name, just because of a good voice, an acoustic guitar, and a good story, let's put this song It is firmly imprinted in our minds. The miracle created by Evan Bell is slowly unfolding before our eyes."

This is the opening text of this exclusive interview with William Wood. He gave a brief introduction to Gu Luobei, and directly cut into the single of this trip. Taking the concert at the Hollywood 1ù Tian Theater as the lead, Gu Luobei's performance was introduced. Yes, the song "Just a Dream" has been introduced in detail.

, "Handsome and elegant, unruly, and flamboyant [free], this is the first impression of Evan Bell, and his light has been spread out in front of us." This is not what William Wood originally wrote. At the end of Ran, his original intention was to give Gu Luobei a high compliment, but it is worthwhile to think about it, the articles published in the news media that have always made a fuss are definitely not rare anymore, and a little achievement will be exaggerated. There is no one before or after, so Wilhelm Zender deleted all the endings he had already written and replaced them with this slightly bland ending. It's just a sentence, but it is more pertinent and down-to-earth.

William-Wood recalled what the man named Eden-Hudson said after the twenty-minute interview was over. "William Wood knows that not only is Evan Bell not easy, but also the few people around him.

Delaying the release of related news for a week is not just a time difference, but also a propaganda strategy. For an unknown rookie singer like Gu Luobei, Zhou is destined to not cause too many ripples. Even if news is released, the publicity effect will definitely not be able to play a corresponding role. Wait until the second week, when the single has already spread to a certain range, and the news that appears at this time will definitely maximize the effect and make a strong push for the sales in the second week.

In the United States, albums are sold through record chains, Walmart, online sales, concert venues, Nagou, and more. Of course, online digital download stores will also occupy half of the future. People who have a basic understanding of the business know that the more sales channels, the more favorable it is for the sales of goods.

The most advantageous part of large record companies such as Universal and Warner compared to independent companies is not the creative part, not the packaging part, not the planning part. After all, these can be made up by relying on talents, even if an independent record company produces a monster The type of genius, these former Ming production parts are not even inferior to the big record companies. The real gap is reflected in the line and sales channel.

Universal Music and Warner Music have their own record chain stores in the United States, record stores all over the United States, plus large-scale sales points such as Walmart City that have signed cooperation agreements, all the albums of singers are placed on the shelves, plus the bombardment. The media resources of the well, the singers of the big record companies are indeed easy to have an advantage in sales. And [Freedom] to choose such an independent record company, not to mention record chain stores, even ordinary sales channels are not rich.

If the sales channel of Universal Music is a perfect score of 10, then it is already a breakthrough that the sales channel of 〖freedom' can make a **** and get a score of 3 or 4. The same is true of media resources. At least so far, the only major newspapers and magazines that have come to interview Gu Luobei is "Entertainment Weekly". However, [Freedom] has very rich resources in professional music critics, which is also a good thing.

Even so, when Adam Roy's comments appeared in the media, they caused quite a bit of discussion.

Adam Roy, a ten-year professional writer for the famous magazine "Rolling Stone" in the music industry, although he can't be called Taishan Beidou, he is also a pivotal figure in the music critic circle. He has always been known for his fair and honest vision. A good album will never be stingy with praise, and a poor album will never be merciful for social etiquette, so many people like to read his music reviews, including many new generation music critics.

In the music critic world, well-known music critics are always busy. I hope that the albums they participate in the review are part of the album, the regular manuscripts of newspapers and magazines are part of it, and the albums they are interested in are part of it. Writing music reviews is their own thing. careers, so the albums they're going to listen to is definitely a huge number. Of course, music critics, like film critics, never rely on quantity to win. In the end, quality is what decides the outcome. Therefore, how music critics choose albums and how to write music reviews is very important. Writing reviews of top singers' albums is certainly attractive, but at the same time digging out reviews of newcomers is also a winning tool for music critics. Bole's prestige is envied by everyone,

But it is not so easy to get such a reputation.

So when Teddy Bell and Sean Mayer came to visit Adam Roy's studio on Friday, they were closed. As a company that is "just a dream", 〖freedom〗 needs to use the resources at hand to promote this single, making full use of the resources of music critics to spread word of mouth is an indispensable link . Adam Roy, as one of the most prolific music critics at his disposal, can persuade him to write a music review for "just a dream", whether positive or negative, it has a huge effect. Of course, Sean-Mayer believes the review will be positive.

Although it has a good relationship with [Freedom], Adam Roy has been very busy with his work recently, including melancholy mood, and the music critics of Alicia Keys's new album all hope that he can shoot, and he has been asked to write music reviews before and after. The album is over twenty and he really doesn't have time. So far, he is interested in Alicia Keys's debut album, and only one, "Falling", has made him full of praise. So in the face of the request of [Freedom] to choose, Adam-Roy can only say sorry.

After knowing that Adam-Roy had rejected the request for [Freedom] to choose, Teddy-Bell took the initiative to ask Shane-Mayer to visit, but was directly rejected. After Sean-Mayer's talk, Adam-Roy opened the door, stood at the door and looked impatiently at the two men in front of him" "You only have one minute. "This is the only thing he can do for [freedom] choice. Every company is like this, it depends on the depth of friendship. Although Adam-Roy's approach is understandable, it still makes Sean-Mayer feel very uncomfortable. suffocated.

Teddy Bell sighed, but he knew that this was not the time for him to be reckless and impulsive. This is the case in society. Gu Luobei has long known that the road of independent musicians is full of thorns, but he still firmly embarks on this road. Now that the younger brother has made a choice, it is time for Teddy Bell to make a choice, or in other words, when he asked Sean Mayer to bring him here, the choice was already made.

"Raise your hand if you've ever loved someone." Those were the first words Teddy Bell said. "It's a lyric from a song of twilight."

Adam Roy is in his early forties this year, how could he not see the forbearance in Teddy Bell's eyes, but he said that he would give him a minute, then he would listen carefully within that minute.

The first sentence is clear.

, "Dream back in the past, the loved one has found a new embrace, but I still keep the ring on my ring finger in a panic. When I open my eyes, I realize that this is a dream. Whether she will come back, there is no answer. The second sentence Diebel said" "This is the story of this song."

Adam Roy raised his eyelids, but the expression on his face still did not change. He just looked at Teddy Bell carefully Of course he was not looking at whether Teddy Bell was handsome or not, but Is looking at the expression on his face.

The firmness in his eyes has left the category of self-confidence, which is an unshakable belief. When Adam Roy lowered his eyelids again, the light in Teddy Bell's eyes remained in his mind.

"The things and people we once pursued, he, she, or it, suddenly woke up after many years, everything is just a dream." This is the third sentence of Teddy Bell"

The original words come from Gu Luobei, which is also the preface of the song, "This song is called "It's just a dream." "

This third sentence was not hurriedly spoken, Adam Roy could hear it clearly, and his hand in Kùzi's pocket was gently clenched, but then he loosened it up again, with an expression on his face. Still no change.

, "His name is Evan Bell, please remember him. Thank you. I'm done." Teddy Bell only said these four sentences and ended his statement, and only forty seconds passed.

The door of the studio became calm again, and after about ten seconds, Adam Roy finally spoke up, "Give me the single! "a.
