Chapter 117： Unexpected joy

Does beer have staying power? Gu Luobei thinks no. When the next day was bright, Gu Luobei had already woken up. Not only did he have no signs of a hangover, he also woke up earlier than usual. However, Gu Luobei did not get up immediately, but lay on the netg and stayed for a while.

Yesterday, I drank with Nata 1ì Yitman until after one o'clock in the morning. The two alcohol-minded people walked back to the dormitory side by side. They were blown by the wind, making their heads even more dizzy. I stopped and walked all the way, and it was already 2:30 when I got back to the dormitory. In fact, in retrospect, what the two of them talked about in one night is already very vague, but the atmosphere of the conversation left an impression in my mind.

"Buzzing" the sound of the phone vibrating attracted Gu Luobei, without any thought, he grabbed the phone subconsciously, it's only seven o'clock now, who is calling?" "Hello, this is Bell. "Gu Luobei didn't have any thoughts in his head, it was just an empty space, so the familiar voice of the other party didn't respond for a while.

, "Bei, it's me." Teddy Bell on the other end of the phone said a few words in a row, but he didn't get a response. He knew that Gu Luobei should not be fully awake, so he stopped talking and waited until he heard Gu Luobei. Luo Bei finally came back to his senses, replied in a low voice, and then said again, "Did you drink yesterday? "

, "Well, beer." Gu Luobei's voice was a little hoarse, because of a hangover, but more of a lazy wake up from sleep.

Teddy Bell sighed lightly" "Then I'll go directly. "After that, he hung up the phone.

Gu Luobei threw the phone on the side of the pillow again, recalling what Teddy Bell said just now, only a few words of performance and recording were found in his mind. It was estimated that it was the promotion schedule of the single, but in mid-April I'm about to start filming "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night". I don't think I have much time to promote it. I'll have to discuss it with Teddy Bell in a while.

Teddy Bell arrived at the dormitory after more than 20 minutes, dug Gu Luobei out of the bed, hot milk and a piece of toast were already placed on the table, he was still worried about Gu Luobei's stomach" so he brought breakfast with him Come over. Eden Hudson, who was sleeping, was also woken up, and when he saw that it was Teddy Bell and the breakfast on the table, he frowned, and finally stretched out.

, "Daisy called me just now." Teddy Bell watched Gu Luobei drink the hot milk, and then he said the intention of the call. In fact, he had already started a conversation on the phone just now." But he knew that Gu Luobei probably didn't have any impression, so he started again.

, What did "Oh" say? "Gu Luobei picked up a piece of toast, smeared the huasheng sauce next to him, and looked indifferent, mainly because he was not fully awake.

"He said, you got the opportunity to appear on Oprah's talk show." Teddy Bell's voice was filled with unbelievable joy, and his eyes flashed with excitement. When he spoke, he involuntarily raised his right hand and waved it. He waved, but because he was not used to gestures when speaking, he put it down a little embarrassingly after the wave, but the smile on his face was still extremely bright.

Gu Luobei raised his eyebrows, as if a little surprised, and blurted out, "Really? "Of course, he knew that Teddy Bell would not lie to him, but it was still difficult to hide the joy in his heart when he encountered such a thing, and he blurted out the words of confirmation. Seeing Teddy Bell nodded happily," Gu Luobei said. He clenched his fists and shouted in a low voice, "Yeah" this is the best chance he has had since he stepped onto the Broadway stage. Unlike any previous performance, Oprah's talk show is the talk show with the highest ratings in the United States. She sang her work in front of tens of millions of people. For Gu Luobei, who was an independent musician, it was definitely a day. big opportunity.

However, Gu Luobei quickly recovered and calmed down. Rather than surprise, he was more curious about how the Oprah's talk show, which had not been heard from before, suddenly became available again. This was brought by Christopher Nolan yesterday. After the good news, the second consecutive good news. Anyone would find it strange that two things that were originally thought to be yellow, actually happened one day apart.

How could Teddy Bell not notice this detail, so he didn't wait for Gu Luobei to ask, but saw that Gu Luojing had restrained the joy of the outside world, and after thinking seriously, he explained it directly. .

It still started after Teddy Bell called Claire Days.

Although an Oprah talk show is a great opportunity for publicity, it is not a crucial position. In the United States, the publicity of singers is mainly based on radio and performances, and TV programs are only supplementary. The three companies of Warner Music, Universal Music and Records are evenly matched, and Records is slightly ahead by relying on the personal relationship with Oprah Winfrey.

Warner Music and Universal Music have been battling for the top spot in the U.S. music market for two years, and their relationship is already strained. This time, Warner Records launched a newcomer Linkin Park, sweeping thousands of troops: Universal Music launched a newcomer's melancholy mood, but for various reasons, it can only be regarded as tepid. Then, because of Jacob's mention of melancholy mood, he was absent from the promotion of the record for a short time.

The meaning is even more extraordinary.

Universal Music, which has done everything in its power, quickly overwhelmed Warner Records and the record company, and first obtained the approval of the program producer Jason Ryle, ready to use Melancholy as the guest of the show. But the record is not vegetarian. In addition to the relationship with Oprah Winfrey, the newly established company is also very well-connected. It was stunned that Jason and Riel reined in the precipice and did not make a decision. final decision.

Depressed mood? Or Alicia Keys? Oprah's talk show team decided to meet to discuss!

The competition between Universal Music and record companies has become day-to-day, and Warner Records has unknowingly fallen behind, so Claire Dess has not contacted Teddy Bell: they can't even protect themselves, and there is still time to worry about whether they have any relationship with the company. Gu Luobei of any interest relationship.

In addition, at this time, Linkin Park also expressed his refusal to appear on Oprah's talk show. They would rather perform a few more scenes than be interviewed on variety shows. Linkin Park's lip service is not very good. He has always spoken with music and appeared on Oprah's talk show. It is estimated that the effect is not very good.

Therefore, Warner Records is in a state of semi-abandonment, but there is no explicit statement.

Just the day before yesterday, Saturday afternoon, things changed again. Oprah Winfrey and Jason Riel named Evan Bell in unison, and the candidate who had faded out of sight immediately became the guest. No. candidate.

The turning point of the matter appeared in Sean Mayer. Although the network of [Freedom] is not wide enough, the foundation is still very solid. In this society, it is often a small number of people who play a decisive role, but it is the vast and small network of people who support these few people. 〖Freedom〗 Although there are few upper-level contacts, but the lower-level contacts are also not bad.

After finishing the phone call with Teddy Bell, Sean Mayer immediately rushed to Chicago and appeared in front of the headquarters of Harp Corporation for three consecutive days. Jacobs, and showed the first 30 seconds of Gu Luobei's performance video at the Hollywood Theater for Jeff-Jackboys. It's not that Sean Mayer doesn't want to play the full version, it's that Jeff-Jacques leaves after thirty seconds.

Happ & Company is a personal company founded at the suggestion of Jeff Jakes, a lawyer at the time, when the Oprah Winfrey talk show was booming. The company regularly produces Oprah talk shows and sells them to various TV. Harp has been a huge success, and as of this year, the Oprah Show alone has grossed $300 million in revenue.

A dejected Sean-Mayer left the disc on the Harp front, knowing that he had little hope, but he did so anyway. The next two days in Chicago, met Oprah Winfrey himself on Friday off work. The talk show queen, who has always been sympathetic to the show's enthusiastic audience, took over Sean Mayer's CD, although she didn't talk to Sean Mayer because of her busy schedule.

The next day, Evan Bell's name appeared at the top of the waitlist.

According to Hap Insiders, Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Jacobs and Jason Riel all mentioned the name in Saturday's wrap-up meeting. Oprah Winfrey Both Jason and Jason took out the same CD, and felt that if they could invite the singers on the CD to appear in the show, it would definitely create a sensation.

On Saturday night, Claire Days made the second major decision of his career, after hearing that Evan Bell had re-entered the waitlist without the consent of Li Yikelleher, Using the contacts of Warner Music, it became a fact that the first place was directly implemented.

, the name "Evan Bell" came to the fore, overcoming the blues and Alicia Keys as a guest on Oprah's talk show about the indie singer.

This question about the selection of guests on Oprah's talk show is really a 30% discount, and it ended unexpectedly. Who would have guessed that in the end, it was with the efforts of Sean Mayer and the help of Warner Records that Gu Luobei made a **** path and won the upset. Originally, the guests of a TV talk show were not so complicated. The main words were the key words. "Indie singers" led to fierce competition. Coupled with the competition between record companies, there were many Craig-Cook, melancholy moods. Resentment towards Gu Luobei led to vicious competition, which made a simple show candidate become a wrestling field for power and connections.

"I guess there are piles of people waiting to see your jokes." Eden-Hudson's lazy voice came from behind him. He picked up a piece of toast directly from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, not at all. I realized that I was still dissatisfied with Teddy Bell's early arrival. , "This opportunity is both an opportunity and a challenge."

Eden-Hudson sat down on his own recliner" "I just don't know who will have the last laugh after the show airs. "a.
