The signing event is a good opportunity for singers to get in touch with the song, and it is also a direct means to promote album sales. For the previous three singles, on the one hand, both 〖Freedom〗 and Gu Luobei did not have the ability to hold a signing meeting, on the other hand, it was also because the investment and recovery of holding a signing meeting with singles were often difficult to be proportional, so there was no need for this.
But before the release of "One" this time, Warner Music had planned several signings. Originally, he thought that Gu Luobei would take the burden and go to travel directly. He was also worried that the time of the signings would need to be changed. Now everything has been solved. Let Warner Records breathe a sigh of relief. When it came to Gu Luobei, a singer who didn't care about publicity, Warner Records did put a lot of thought into publicity planning.
Leaving the radio station and rushing to Times Square, although today is a whole day's itinerary, but after the discussion and arrangement of Teddy Bell and Claire Days, the time is relatively abundant, at least the time left for the journey is enough. . When I arrived at the New York branch of the famous record chain Viking City on the side of Times Square, there were still ten minutes before the signing ceremony.
Gu Luobei and Teddy Yibel only had time to see the lively crowd at the gate of Viking City, and hurriedly entered the store through the back door.
"Wow, there should have been three or four hundred people there just now, right?" Teddy Bell couldn't help but sigh. Although several radio recordings were blocked, it was the first time I saw a scene as big as today.
"There are more than 500 people waiting outside now." Claire Dais's voice sounded from right in front, Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell looked away from the dense crowd behind them, and immediately saw the suit pen tǐng's Claire-Dais came towards him.
"Claire, why are you here?" Teddy Bell said in surprise. Recently, because of the release of Gu Luobei's first album, Teddy Bell and Claire Dais met almost every two or three days. It's very familiar. However, at today's signing, Claire Dyce, an upstart in the copyright department of Warner Records, did not need to come to the scene to supervise in person. It is naturally a strange thing to appear here.
Claire Dyce and Teddy Bell hugged lightly, but his proud beer belly obviously hindered the further friendship between the two, but he loosened up when he clicked "The number of people at the scene exceeded expectations, and I was worried that there would be an accident, so I'm coming."
He nodded to Gu Luobei to show his greetings, and then Claire Dess motioned to enter the lounge inside and talk. For Gu Luobei, Claire Dess was a little scared and a little admired, and his emotions were very complicated. Although Gu Luobei is only an 18-year-old boy, the ability and talent he has displayed are enough to make people look at him. What's more, it is because of Gu Luobei that Claire Dais is able to reach the current position. Contradiction can also be understood by the gods.
"People started to line up at the door after six o'clock in the morning, and the clerk who came to Viking City to open the door was startled." Claire Dess described the situation in the morning, thinking it was funny.
Indeed, although the album has only been released for three weeks, coupled with the spread of "Death Illusion" and the accumulation of the previous four months, Gu Luobei's popularity is indeed rising rapidly. At the same time, because Gu Luobei doesn't care about the promotion schedule, there are not many opportunities to meet, so the singers pay more attention to every opportunity to get close to their idols, and it is not surprising that there is such a grand occasion today.
"We originally expected about 300 people to be normal. If it exceeds 400 people, it will be beyond today's accommodation level." Claire Dais took Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell and sat down in the lounge." Today's signing ceremony is only scheduled for one hour, so the number of songs that can be put in is limited."
The so-called signing, of course, is to sign the album, which is considered a physical task. Of course, it is impossible for Gu Luobei to sit there and sign all day and night, so the time limit and the control of the number of people are absolutely necessary.
"But I didn't expect that, in the afternoon, I received news that there are more than 500 songs here, and it seems that there may be more at any time. Lyle Dais's words are embarrassed, but the expression is no matter how happy. However, after all, the sales of the album "One" is very positive, which is also affirmation of the work of Claire Dais. More importantly, Claire Dais has endured a lot of pressure in order to help Gu Luobei before. Now, All the facts prove his wise decision. The pressure on him in the company has long since disappeared, and there are still many envious eyes, coupled with the attention of the head leader Li Yi Kelleher, Claire Dyce's performance in Warner Records The days are getting happier.
"In order to control the situation at the scene and avoid chaotic incidents, I came here to assist." Claire Dess explained the matter completely. "The police in New York will also come to maintain order after a while. If there is chaos in the field, the implications are wide-ranging.”
"It's my honor. For the first time in my life, I have to trouble the New York police for an autograph." Gu Luobei said with a smile, "Of course, I hope they don't invite me into the bureau on the grounds of obstructing public order. It would be better to drink tea.... Gu Luobei's ridicule made everyone around him laugh in a low voice.
"Evan, change your clothes and take care of your makeup. Go out to meet the reporter first."
Claire Dess reminded, and then commanded the styling team that had been prepared in the lounge to go forward to work.
Generally speaking, artists appear in various public places, and their own image is part of the work, so the styling team must be ready anytime, anywhere. But as far as Gu Luobei is concerned, an independent musician, where did the modeling team come from? At least Catherine Bell can be considered a costume stylist, and even if Gu Luobei hardly needs to do makeup, it still needs someone to take care of it. Therefore, during the promotion of the record, Warner Records prepared a well-equipped team for Gu Luobei.
Today on Conan O'Brien's late-night show, it was this styling team who took care of Gu Luobei's makeup and hairstyle. After that, when Gu Luobei went to the radio station, he didn't follow him, but went directly to Viking City to wait.
After the modeling team was busy for less than ten minutes, Gu Luobei was ready to go on stage.
When Gu Luobei's figure appeared at the gate of Viking City, almost at the same time, the shouts came like a tsunami, making the entire Times Square become very lively.
Ruisha and Rosie stood behind the song mí group, feeling like a small boat in the stormy sea, in danger of overturning at any time. She suddenly regretted, "I wanted to come to the signing ceremony so suddenly, **** it!" If she knew that the signing ceremony would be so noisy, Raisa and Rosie would definitely reconsider the proposal.
Ruisha and Rosie have always liked Gu Luobei's music very simply. After the Yingyan Music Festival, "Just a Dream", "Broad Ocean and Sky", and "The Last" first made her love it. She has not seen such a music for a long, long time. Talented musician. However, Ruisha and Rosie have always been only interested in Gu Luobei's music, at least the "Death Illusion" that is currently being shown has no interest in going to the cinema.
After the release of the "One" album, Reza and Rosie also bought it at the first time, and she still liked the album so much. When she learned that there was a signing event today, she simply hesitated and decided to Check it out on site.
This is the first time for Raisa and Rosie to participate in the signing ceremony. She expected that there should be a lot of people at the scene, but she did not expect it to be so crazy. The people behind the nose are constantly crowding forward, and the front is blocked by guards and railings, and there is no way to move forward, which leads to less and less air in the crowd, and even breathing is hot. This wasn't the most depressing thing, and what was even more exaggerated was that the heart-piercing shouts from the surrounding songs were simply challenging the limit of the eardrums.
Ruisha and Rosie looked sideways, and the girl beside her had already cried until her voice was hoarse and her face was full of tears, obviously she was unable to move herself. Ruisha and Rosie looked ahead, Gu Luobei, who was wearing a white shirt and a sky blue casual look, was indeed handsome enough to take away the air around him. "Okay, I admit that he does have this charm."
At the front of the song mí group, more than 40 reporters lined up, holding cameras and frantically pressing the shutter, and the continuous flash of light ripped apart the gradually falling night, propping up an aperture. For such a powerful flash, Gu Luobei is still getting used to it.
Different from the "Princess Diaries" premiere not long ago, today's signing ceremony belongs to Gu Luobei alone, and the shouting, screaming and enthusiasm at the scene also belong to Gu Luobei alone. This kind of grand scene made Gu Luobei and reporters feel the heat of popularity.
Gu Luobei held his album in his right hand casually by his side, posing for reporters to take pictures. William Wood, who was in the audience, couldn't help being anxious, and shouted, "Evan, pick up the album, pick it up." This kind of photo is called a promotional photo, and the right hand is placed in the position of the album in front of the happy eyes, and then poses. The high-resolution photos taken will become special promotional photos for the signing ceremony.
It's a pity that, no matter how hoarse William Wood was, Gu Luobei couldn't hear his shouting, because the singers in the audience were so crazy, the sound had already suppressed all the movements around him, and he could only hear it in his ears. There were numerous shouts, followed by a humming sound.
Fortunately, at this time, Teddy Bell walked to Gu Luobei's side and reminded him softly. Gu Luobei shrugged helplessly and lifted the album up, but only let the reporter take a few pictures, and then put it down again. So stubborn, it's really unbearable.
Today is an autograph session, and the protagonists are the singers who came to support the idols, so there is no reporter interview session. After the photo was over, Gu Luobei greeted the singers, pointed to Viking City behind him with a smile, motioned for everyone to meet at the signing ceremony later, and then turned around and walked into the record store.
