Chapter 135： Wisdom Eyes Pearl

Rotation (n), founded in 1985 as a professional music magazine, is the authoritative magazine in the United States after "Rolling Stone". , The most unique sign of "Rotation" in the early days of its establishment was its coverage of various non-mainstream music and its emphasis on hip-hop music that was just emerging at that time. The selection of magazines has always been bold and unconventional, which is very different from the relatively conservative "Rolling Stone".

In the reports of "Rotation", independent musicians occupy a considerable proportion, and the same is true for music genres, hardcore, country, reggae, experimental music, including hip-hop music that has not yet developed." The detailed report of "Rotation" made people initially enter the world of hip-hop.

Although "Rotation" has been severely challenged by "Mixer" in the past two years, "Rotation" still adheres to its own line and remains unmoved, and the second place in the music magazine sales chart has been maintained.

Recently, "Rotation" took the lead in publishing music reviews about Linkin Park, House of Life, and Alicia Keys, becoming the most famous Bole among independent musicians, and pressured to focus on mainstream musicians. Yes, "Rolling Stone" one chip. But this time, "The Rotation" has planted a somersault on Gu Luobei: a top magazine that publishes professional music reviews about Gu Luobei, it is, "Rolling Stone" from Adam Roy. In the same April issue "in" "rotation"

Like most magazines, Alicia Keys was chosen. There is no mistake in this, Alicia Keys is definitely the most outstanding new female singer in recent years, skilled in combining spiritual music with jazz,

Combining rhythm and blues, one, "Falling" is indeed a rare masterpiece.

At this moment, when everyone respected Alicia Keys, as the leader of the music magazine, "Rolling Stone" ingeniously recommended a completely strange newcomer, Evan-Bell and Gu Luobei. The result is very simple. It is rare that there is a naysayer among the stereotyped compliments, and it is naturally Gu Luobei who attracts everyone's attention.

At the beginning, "Rotation" was smugly ironic. "Rolling Stone" has always been focusing on mainstream music and suddenly turned its attention to independent musicians. As a result, they found a newcomer who was unknown. It is estimated that they are going to shoot themselves in the foot. Yu cautious, on the one hand, the status of "Rolling Stone" as the king for many years is unshakable or can not be ignored, on the other hand is the hidden dragon and crouching tiger of independent musicians, "Rotation" knows better than anyone else. So "Sam, the current editor of "Rotation" Yi Walker still listened to the "just a dream" recommended by Adam Roy.

After listening to Sam-Walker, he had to admit that this song does have a chance to defeat. The key point of the qualification for "falling" is that Alicia-Case's company has a strong network, and it can make gods and find twenty or thirty media willing to For the endorsement of "Falling", "Just a Dream", including "Rolling Stone", has only seven music reviews, which is really pitiful. If not, "Rolling Stone" Azon Roy has a certain appeal, maybe this song will really be buried.

But Sam-Walker soon discovered his real mistake. In fact, "Rotation" Ran also had an article about "It's Just a Dream" that was handed in, but in the April issue Alicia-Keys Occupy all his attention, so this music review was ignored.

Sam Walker soon met Stephanie Pamore, the author of the review.

And Stephanie Pamoer is the reporter sent by "Rotation" to interview Gu Luobei in the town of Natemu today. She asked what she said just now.

Twenty-three-year-old Stephanie Pamore is not a full-time music critic, but a part-time job.”

Her essential work is proofreading for newspapers. Writing music reviews and writing film reviews is just a hobby. Most of the music reviews are voted for those who have a soft spot for independent musicians.

Most of the film critics vote for those who admire independent films, and Ying also runs a review blog herself. Regardless of her young age, Stephanie-Pamore is also a freelance writer, a small and well-known writer, "Rotation" and "Ying" are very willing to use her manuscripts. Even in the era when blogs have not yet spread widely Stephanie-Pamore's commentary blog, "Starlight" has also received a lot of attention.

Stephanie-Pamore will pay attention to Gu Luobei, precisely because Eleven Music Blog is also a pioneer user of blogging. With a good impression, more importantly, whether it is "just a dream" or "broad seas and sky", "finally" she can always hear the resonance in her heart, which is the essence of music.

It can be said that Stephanie-Pamore is one of the first music critics to pay attention to Gu Luobei. In order to learn more about the 18-year-old, Stephanie Palmer also tried to find out the release times of "Death Illusion" and "Sniper Phone Booth", and it was frustrating that the release time of "Death Illusion" At present, 20th Century Fox announced that it is in the second half of the year. However, after the excitement of public shooting of "Sniper Phone Booth", it is now playing a mystery, all news is blocked, and no news is revealed.

Therefore, Stephanie-Pamoni still focused on Gu Luobei's music. I hope to be able to see this young man's amazing talent in music again, and that's why I have the problem just now.

Gu Luobei looked at Stephanie Yipamore's eyes with a strong smile. She was the first reporter to show a strong interest in her own music, even passing the fiery-eyed William Wood, which made Gu Luo Bei is very happy." "I did two singles at a time, and the promotion has not yet started, so the album will be released, this reporter" Gu Luobei paused, and said that he wanted to ask, and heard, "Pa Mo'er. "The voice, "This Miss Pamore, is it too urgent? "

, "No no no," and "Finally, it's a track that has been published on Mr. Bell's music blog for a long time, but now it's in the form of a single." Although the place of work is a newspaper, the part-time job is to write music and film reviews. , But as a reporter, it was the first time for Stephanie-Pamore, so her tone was inevitably a little excited.

The other reporters around are not surprised. Reporters are also human beings, and they have their own preferences. Gu Luobei in front of him does have the essentials that women like. If Stephanie-Pamore knew what other reporters were thinking, she would definitely tell them seriously: I look at connotations, connotations!

Stephanie-Pamore's question is not over yet." "What we care about is when you will release a new song and what surprises will you bring us. When will the album come out and what style will it be! "

These words made Gu Luobei feel really good. He would choose the path of being an independent musician. After all, he hoped that the music he made could find someone who could understand it. This reporter named Pa Mo'er, with excitement flashing in his eyes, made Gu Luobei feel the joy of making music from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Luobei raised his hands and put them on his shoulders, palms up, and pushed them twice, indicating that there are two big mountains on his shoulders" "The pressure is very high. Coupled with the exaggerated expressions on their faces, all the reporters burst out laughing. "There will be new songs, and there will be albums, but at least we have to wait for "Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer, after the filming is over. By the way, still I have a few subjects for this semester, damn, I still have a few subjects I haven't done yet."

Hearing the last, Gu Luobei's words that seemed to be talking to himself, the reporters below couldn't bear it any longer, and they all burst into laughter. I remembered that I couldn't help but wonder, the young man in front of me was very kind and friendly. Why did Elliott Carter say that Evan and Bell were not easy to get along with in the press circle? But reporters are not fools, even a rookie knows that since this is not the case with personal experience, it means that Elliott Carter and Evan Bell have a grudge.

"Bell, this is "Star", which is also one of the traditional American entertainment magazines. Music and movie gossip is all about designs, and it is also a frequent visitor to the top ten sales charts." "Do you have a schedule to promote singles next? "Gu Luobei has gone from "it's just a dream" to now. Because of the limited network of people who can choose freely, he has only participated in five publicity trips so far, including Oprah's talk show.

On the side, five propaganda has such an effect, and it is also highly efficient. This is a reference case for the record company: but for the media, it means their pain. The most talked about rookie singers in May, they don't talk about exclusive interviews, they can't even come up with a few press releases for group interviews. It's like a villain looking at a huge cake in front of him, but he can't eat it all. , The pain was so painful that I stumbled.

Hearing this question, Gu Luobei was a little surprised. He didn't have a big idea of ​​the size of his promotional schedule. After all, he had not stopped in the past few months, but now that I think about it, there is really no show to participate in to promote the single. A few" "Of course I still hope that the single can be heard by more people. Naturally, there is a schedule for publicity. "

Despite the little episode of Stephanie Palmer, the interview went on smoothly. After all, everyone had a lot of questions to answer. It's a pity that Gu Luobei didn't give the reporters more time. To be precise, the crew of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" didn't give more time. After less than 20 minutes, Gu Luobei was called away by the drama management. Leaving Teddy Bell to face more than thirty reporters.

It was the first time Teddy Bell faced reporters alone, but he wasn't at all timid because he knew it was part of his future job as well. How to maintain a good relationship with reporters is an important subject for Teddy Bell to learn. But in this regard, Teddy Bell agrees with his brother's words: people respect me one foot, I respect others ten feet: people destroy me a drop, I win three fights. Therefore, Teddy Bell does not have much burden to get along with reporters, just how to take this first step?

"Hey, Evan's visit has ended. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Teddy Bell gave a simple and honest smile, which immediately made the reporters in front of him smile knowingly.
