Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 502 Rock Girl Sales Meeting

Times Square, one of the symbols of New York, is located at the intersection of West 42nd Street and Broadway Avenue. With Times Square Building as the center, nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters have gathered. It is a prosperous entertainment and shopping center in Manhattan.Therefore, many press conferences are chosen to be held here, such as new electronic products or singer's autograph sessions.

Many famous singers have signed and sung here, needless to say, MJ, Madonna, Whitney and other long-established people. When did Miss Genius Angela Mason go to New York to promote her record and not in Times Square?In recent years, new forces such as Linkin Park, which has just released its first album, or the popular girl group C&B, which is currently popular throughout the United States, also prefer Times Square when they go to New York to promote.In other words, being able to hold album signings here is also a sign of popularity.

Ninth Avenue in Manhattan was already full of young men and women at this time, all of them looked excitedly, talking and laughing at the nearby stage from time to time, holding posters in addition to CDs.Obviously, this is another signing event for a singer, and the scale is not small.However, the signing event to be held here is not a well-known singer. In the huge poster hanging on the stage, a girl wearing a black vest, casual trousers, and black and white canvas shoes is holding an electric guitar and singing tall. Raising her hand, her long flowing brown hair and thick smoked eye makeup made her look unrestrained and unrestrained.

Avril Lavigne, this is the name of the punk-dressed girl on the poster, and it has frequently appeared in various music magazines in just a few weeks.The first title song "Flying Wings" with the same name as the album (it's the title of the album and the title of the song, fabricated) quickly rushed to the top of the major charts when it first hit the charts, and at the same time created a light rock storm among young people.

For this newcomer in the music scene who seemed to be airborne, many senior music critics gave her mixed reviews.Those who like her say that her energetic singing makes people feel uplifted and her personal style is very charming; those who don't like her say that there is nothing but roar from beginning to end, which simply ruins rock music.

But in any case, from the day she appeared in the public eye, this girl who was only a few days away from turning 16 quickly established her position in the hearts of young men and women who like light rock.From the signing in Los Angeles, the venue was basically sold out. The hot scene made many first-line singers a little envious. When they came to New York, the sales were almost approaching platinum.

Faced with this situation, Hollywood record companies are both happy and depressed.Although Avril Lavigne's potential is immeasurable, it is only a matter of time before she becomes another flagship singer of the company, but as some commentators say, it is too early for the combination of C&B and C&B to gradually replace the lazy lady genius in the record company.

The C&B group is very popular now, so popular that it already has the momentum of the first female group, and even in some aspects its influence exceeds the category of female groups.But even if Avril Lavigne's popularity can reach this level, it is still not enough to replace Angela as the main singer of the record company.It has nothing to do with Angela's background, mainly because——

"Angela helped me a lot, yes, like Britney and Christina. We also met at a very young age, when I was just an ignorant kid who liked to sing and fantasized about becoming a singer in the future. Girl, and I like Angela's songs very much. I never thought that I would become friends with my idol until a very accidental encounter. She always encourages me, you have great talent, as long as you work hard, you will be very good, I am so grateful I firmly believe in this. So I often tell her that my goal is to surpass her in music in the future!" Avril Lavigne said in a talk show.

If you think about the relationship between C&B and Avril Lavigne and Miss Genius, you can know how unreliable that kind of comment is. After the third wave of the title song "Roller Coaster" tailored by Angela for Avril Lavigne was broadcast, it followed The previous "Flying Wings" and "Let's Talk Tomorrow" occupy No.12 on the "Billboard".

But the record company doesn't matter, everything has two sides, as long as the C&B group maintains a relationship with Avril Lavigne and Angela, Miss Genius will continue to escort them even if they are a bit lazy about their albums.

"Hurry up, hurry up, are you ready, Bimson?" A staff member pushed open the door of the dressing room impatiently.

"Relax, Boji, don't yell so much, it will be ready soon." The male makeup artist said without turning his head, and Avril Lavigne, who was still in a hurry, was doing the final treatment on her face.

"Relax? Damn it, Bimson, it's about to start, but you dawdled so long that you didn't even put on your makeup well! If you drag on like this, the director will kill me!" Boji screamed like a pig. up.

"Do you know how to make up, Boji? Said with a frown, and at the same time gave Avril a bright smile who secretly gave a thumbs up: "Not to mention the punk makeup with a full personal style."

"That's enough, Bimson, I don't want to know and I'm not interested in knowing your make-up essentials. I just want her to stand on the stage in 15 minutes!" Boji said weakly.

"Don't be so pitiful, it's already done." With a raised eyebrow, Bimson straightened his body, "Look, a punk girl who is unruly and full of energy is born, what a masterpiece!"

"Yes, I like this look!" Avril jumped up from the chair with joy, and looked at the mirror for a long time, "Although she is a bit decadent, she is still a sunny, youthful and beautiful girl!"

As she spoke, she held her hands high and raised her chest, and walked around the room proudly, tending to imitate the orangutan beating her chest and purring a few times.

"Okay, Miss Sunshine Youthful Girl, can we go backstage and get ready?" Boji helplessly covered his forehead.

"Oh, of course, let's go." Avril, who was a little too excited, immediately stuck out her tongue, and after blinking goodbye to Bimsen, she happily waved her arms and walked out with Boji.It looked less like a singer getting ready to go on stage and sign a record than a wrestler getting ready to go on stage for the women's WWE.However, if she participates in the women's WWE with her small body, the end will undoubtedly be very miserable.

"Basically, it's no different from the other signing sessions. I won't repeat the important points." Boggy said as he walked along the aisle, "You've been doing well, just keep at it."

"No problem." Avril nodded confidently.

"However, there is one thing you have to be careful about," Boggy said with hesitation, "If a reporter asks certain questions..."

"Don't worry, I know what to say," interrupted Avril Lavigne, "just be careful to stay ambiguous."

Although she said this on her lips, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, because of the phrase "My goal is to surpass Angela", she is now being attacked by many Angela fans.Such as "Angela's songs are not written by Angela in the songs you are singing now", "Angela's songs are all written by herself, you can do this before you talk about it", "The whole person is basically a replica of Angela's rock and roll" Such ironic remarks emerge in endlessly.

Fortunately, those who said these words were diehard fans, most of the fans were more tolerant, some even fell in love with Avril because of Angela, so let’s forget about those things.But for the entertainment media, it is a very worth digging topic. The formal media is better. If the tabloids catch the loopholes and wantonly fabricate it, it will be very bad.That's why Boji reminded her like this.

"Okay, be careful in everything." Boji said after getting the answer, and followed him to wink his eyes: "There will be a surprise today."

"Surprise?" Avril raised her eyebrows and was about to ask in detail, but the two of them had already reached the end of the passage, and the noise from outside had already come in from behind the door.

"You will know." Boji opened the door for her with a smile.

Although she had doubts, Avril Lavigne immediately recovered when she was on the stage. When the music sounded, she put the electric guitar on her shoulder, and walked to the front desk while playing and singing.It was a bit out of tune at the beginning, but it soon became normal after standing still.

The fans who had been waiting under the stage for a long time immediately cheered, and danced to the rhythm with the CDs and posters in their hands, and the scene suddenly became extremely lively.Avril Lavigne, who was inspired, also began to boil with enthusiasm. With a sweet and unruly smile, her singing gradually became wild from clear, making the scene even more enthusiastic.

"How do you feel?" At the end of the song, Avril took a breath and asked loudly.

"Perfect!" Although the voices below the stage were mixed and scattered, the victory was due to the large number of people, and it was quite powerful to yell like this.

"Then I'll continue, and I'll talk about it tomorrow!" Avril Lavigne said as she changed to an acoustic guitar, sat down on the high stool brought by the staff, and plucked the strings after trying the sound test.

"Let's Talk Tomorrow" is a gentle love song. After enjoying the passionate "Spread Your Wings and Fly High", it is still very good to use such a song to relieve your mood.Although Avril Lavigne likes rock and roll, she can sing love songs unambiguously. The performance of "Let's Talk Tomorrow" is light and bright, which is quite memorable.

After singing again, there was another burst of cheers, and Avril Lavigne jumped up from the high stool, and replaced the acoustic guitar in her hand with an electric guitar again.After being gentle, she still has to return to rock and roll, and the "Roller Coaster" tailor-made for her by Angela is naturally the best choice, but...

After the girl took the electric guitar and checked it, she stood in front of the microphone for a while and suddenly felt a little doubt in her heart.She turned her head to look at the woman who was sitting on the high stool behind her when she was singing "Let's Talk Tomorrow" and used an acoustic guitar to accompany and harmonize herself. She was wearing a peaked cap and was tuning her bass.Although the outfit is simple, it always looks familiar.

Why did you feel familiar with both the harmony and the accompaniment before?Avril took the time to appease the fans while taking the time to look at the woman who never turned around.Following her thought of something, her body trembled and her eyes widened.

Before Avril could yell out, the other party had already turned around, and the peaked cap tilted to reveal Angela's face with a smirk. At the same time, she put her index finger on her lips in a silent gesture, and then pointed to the bass in her hand.

This is the surprise?The girl finally understood, and at the same time, she was gnashing her teeth. Fortunately, she still remembered that it was a song performance at the signing event, otherwise she would have stepped forward and punched her.

The electric guitar was struck again, and the sound of rapid music echoed on the stage.The essence of this song "Roller Coaster" lies in the exhilaration of singing suddenly at the highest point, which requires a very high singing voice of the singer.Even though I really liked Ai Moer, I had to repeat it during the recording, and the live singing at the previous signings was not satisfactory.

But this time, she brought out the taste of the song as if by God, which made the listening fans hooked.At this time, many people also suddenly discovered that the woman who was carrying the bass behind her to accompany Avril Lavigne turned out to be Miss Genius.The scene suddenly became a little chaotic, screaming one after another, and many reporters moved their cameras and lenses over.

Finally, with the intense rhythm coming to an end, the cheerful "Roller Coaster" finally came to an end.With a vigorous wave of her hands, Avril raised her hands and shouted: "Thank you!"

Then she blew kisses with both hands amid the shouts of fans, which naturally led to even louder screams.But in the next second, their voices increased by a few decibels. Avril took off the electric guitar and threw it at the nearby staff, walked a few steps in front of Angela who also put down the bass, and hugged her tightly.

It's just that she was a little petite, and she seemed to have thrown herself into Angela's arms, so the other's body pushed her back and immediately took her off the ground.Avril, who quickly calmed down, giggled and bent her legs. If Angela was a man, this would be a scene where standard couples meet.

So the fans below screamed and shouted their names again and again, the reporters rushed to press the shutter, and the host of the TV station also said to the camera, "Miss Genius suddenly appeared. Signing event for a rock girl", "Angela helps Avril Lavigne" and other words.

Even many young people around Times Square who were not interested in Avril Lavigne's autograph event rushed over to see the sudden appearance of Miss Genius Angela after asking. Maybe it's messed up.

It's just that the two people on the stage didn't make any response, only Avril Lavigne waved to the fans after embracing, and then walked down with the staff, disappointing many people at the scene.

What they didn't know was that as soon as they got backstage, Avril punched Angela on the shoulder in front of many people: "Aren't you busy making movies in Princeton? Why did you suddenly appear here?"
