Wearing a baseball cap with Avril's name written on it, Ronan walked into a small theater near Hollywood Boulevard. The theater was not big and could only accommodate a few hundred people.
For new singers, it is not a good thing to hold a new song debut in a place that is too big.
After all, there is no fan base. Even if there are various public relations operations, the larger the place, the more positions will be vacated.
Since he arrived earlier, Ronan sat in the front row very close to the stage early, and the media reporters were seated further ahead.
The reporters are not too many, more than 20 sparsely.
As for the fans, Ronan took a general observation, and there are very few fans who have come over spontaneously, and it is estimated that most of them are invited.
It is said that the first single of Avril Lavigne’s first album, "Super Complex", began to hit the charts on the radio the previous week. I don’t know if there is not enough time for brewing, or the company’s publicity has not kept up, which makes the new song conference seem somewhat a bit Deserted.
Although Ronan has never mixed in the pop music scene, he can also imagine that the new singer cannot be treated as well as a star.
I don’t know how many new singers in the North American music world release songs each year, but very few really become popular.
The competition in this industry is even more intense than that of actors.
As time went by, the number of people in the theater gradually increased, and before the concert began, about two-thirds of the seats were seated.
The sound of the electric guitar suddenly sounded, the lights flickered, the curtain on the stage opened, and a girl holding an electric guitar was standing in the center of the stage.
She drew smoky makeup, wearing a simple T-shirt, jeans and canvas shoes, and a shiny metal chain hung on her waist. The dazzling blond hair was dyed pink with a strand that was particularly eye-catching.
Without a host, no string of words, or even any extra actions, Ronan’s very familiar prelude to the song has already played.
Then Avril Lavigne sang.
"Aha...Aha..."
"Life is like this, that's its true face, calm down the sound of your shouting..."
This song is catchy, the lyrics seem to describe a hypocritical person, probably a relationship who is less than eighteen years old, and Avril Lavigne’s singing is also a bit childish and cute.
The future rock punk princess has just stepped onto the stage.
The singing fell quickly, and there was a round of applause and whistles. Many media reporters also picked up cameras or video cameras and aimed at Avril Lavigne on stage to take pictures.
"Avril Lavigne--"
There were still people shouting in the audience.
As for whether it is a real fan or a professional fan hired by a record company, there is no way to tell.
The band on the stage began to adjust their instruments. Avril still had no intention of talking, but kept smiling at the bottom of the stage.
Obviously, even after professional training, Avril Lavigne is still somewhat nervous.
Even people who are born with big hearts are absolutely false to say that there is no mood swing at this time.
The applause and whistle continued to sound, and Ronan also whistled. Since he was closer to the stage, the whistle seemed to attract Avril's attention, and she turned her head and looked over.
Ronan took off the baseball cap with Avril's name on it and waved it towards the stage.
Avril Lavigne saw Ronan, laughed again, and waved her hand here.
The fans gave a more enthusiastic response, Ronan continued to reply to the baseball cap, like a crazy fan.
At the same time, he could also see that Avril Lavigne had a few more tattoos on her right forearm than when we met last time, which looked like musical notes.
The music sounded again at this time, and Avril Lavigne sang the second song.
The new song conference went smoothly, just like a movie premiere. Each process went down and then interviewed by the media reporters, and it was the end.
The audience left the venue one after another. Ronan did not leave, and came to the passage leading to the backstage, but was stopped by the staff.
"Sorry, sir." The staff is very polite, and there is no such thing as a dog looking at people in the legend: "You can't enter here temporarily."
Ronan was also very polite: "I am a friend of Avril Lavigne. After an appointment, I will go backstage to meet with her."
The staff member quickly asked: "May I ask your name?"
Ronan said: "Ronan Anderson."
The staff turned on the intercom in his hand and said a few words. Within two minutes, someone came here, but it was Avril’s agent.
"Hello, Mr. Anderson." The middle-aged woman shook hands with Ronan.
Ronan smiled and nodded: "Hello."
The middle-aged woman led the way: "Please go here."
Ronan followed her into a lounge. Avril Lavigne was communicating with the band members about the live performance, and he waited patiently.
After a long while, Avril Lavigne was done with things, turned her head to look at Ronan, walked over with a smile, pointed to Ronan's hat, and asked, "You did it specifically?"
Ronan took off his hat and said, "I started a film company. You sent me an invitation. I specifically asked the company's prop master to do it. Originally, I wanted to make hundreds of them and send one to each of the fans who came over. But time is too tight, you will notify me sooner next time."
Avril Lavigne took the hat, put it directly on her head, and asked, "Can you give it to me?"
Ronan nodded: "Of course." He then asked: "When will your album be released?"
Avril Lavigne said: "This weekend."
Ronan took it down and said, "I will buy it as soon as possible."
"No need." Avril was beckoned to a female assistant, and the assistant immediately sent a record with Avril on the cover. She gave Ronan a handful: "This is a gift in return for the hat, with my signature on it."
Ronan glanced at the slick English and said, "Thank you." He put it away solemnly: "A very precious gift, I will treasure it forever."
Avril Lavigne waved her hand and said broadly, "Just a record, don't be so polite."
Ronan whispered: "When your album is released, I will buy 10,000 copies at a time."
"Uh..." Avril Lavigne was still young and had never experienced such a situation. She was dumb for a while. After a while, she frowned and said: "I know you are a rich man. If you want to buy it, you can buy it. Why tell me."
She is straightforward: "Isn't this reducing the excitement of my record sales?"
Ronan still whispered, "Just treat it as if I didn't say it."
As for buying records and not letting Avril know about this, how could it be possible for people like Ronan?
Without telling you that I want to support you with a lot of money, how can I win more favors?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be smashed down, of course, to make the lake a little splash.
Ronan added: "Don't worry, your first record will definitely be a big hit. That song "Super Complex" is really great."
Avril Lavigne is confident: "Of course I will succeed."
Ronan whispered again: "If you need help, just say it."
Avril Lavigne looked around, got to Ronan's ear, and muttered: "I want to go out for a drink today, but I can't find a suitable place."
Ronan understood, and tentatively asked, "Go to me? There are thousands of bottles of good wine in my cellar."
Avril Lavigne instantly came to the spirit: "Really?"
Ronan motioned his eyes: "You have to convince your agent and the people from the record company."
At this moment, the manager and the people from the record company are staring at them.
"It's okay." Avril Lavigne said grinningly: "You go to the back door of the theater and wait for me."
Ronan shrugged and deliberately said, "You'd better say hello in advance, otherwise you will go to the police station to bail me."
Avril Lavigne said, "Cut, it sounds like what you want to do."
She waved to Ronan, turned and walked towards the agent. Ronan left the rest room, got out of the theater and got in the car, asking David to drive the car to the back door of the theater.
Before long, Avril Lavigne slipped out of the theater, ran to the front of the car and got on the car.
Ronan looked a little depressed, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Avril Lavigne complained: "They won't let me go alone! Am I still a child? Can't tell even the good and the bad?"
Ronan touched his nose, not at all embarrassed, and asked, "Now..."
Avril Lavigne said: "The agent called my parents, I can't go to your place, you can take me home."
"It's okay." Ronan motioned to David to drive, and said to Avril Lavigne: "We have opportunities in the future."
Avril Lavigne nodded first, then shook her head: "I am going to run announcements around the United States from the day after tomorrow. I don't know when I will return to Los Angeles."
The car turned on Hollywood Boulevard and a car followed from behind. Ronan looked back and found that it was the car of the Avril agent who followed behind last time.
Frankly speaking, Avril Lavigne's agent is still very good, very serious and responsible.
Having said that, Ronan didn't have any messy thoughts at all, after all, people under the age of eighteen naturally have a protective cover.
Some things are really just in case if you are not afraid of ten thousand.
Especially for Ronan who knows the future development trend.
Ronan said, "When you finish this stage, I will invite you to drink again. I will also leave Los Angeles soon~EbookFREE.me~ to go overseas on business, and it may take a long time to come back."
Bentley elegantly arrived in West Hollywood and stopped in front of an apartment building. Before Avril got off the car, Ronan said, "Ivy, I wish you great sales."
Avril Lavigne always went straight: "You are ready to celebrate for me with wine!"
Ronan laughed: "When I come back, if your record can sell for a platinum, I will open a thousand bottles of wine for you to celebrate!"
"Okay!" Avril felt that her agent was thinking too much. What would be the danger for someone as straightforward as Ronan?
Ronan waved at Avril Lavigne, letting David return to Beverly Hills.
After returning home, he instructed the housekeeper Nikia to prepare her clothes, and soon she would start a trip to the East with the people from the Embassy Pictures.
Ronan has accepted the invitation from the Organizing Committee of the Shanghai International Film Festival, and is preparing to take professional buyers from the Embassy Pictures to Shanghai to participate in the fair during the festival. By the way, buying one may be very marketable in North America. movie of.
