With the rapid drumbeat of the British honor guard, the camera began to switch rapidly, and the busy backstage, gorgeous scene, and powerful guest lineup were displayed in front of the audience. The supermodel is officially displayed in front of thousands of households through the TV screen. ↑ Novel,
After the commercials between the two programs, the 56 million viewers accumulated in the final episode of "Survivor" have lost a large part, and only about 35 million are left in the end.
Although the Victoria's Secret annual show has experienced continuous publicity for half a year, and is personally operated by Eric Williams, who has created a series of box office miracles, most ordinary audiences still subconsciously feel that fashion shows are such a Things are too far away from their lives, so they jumped to TV channels one after another. Except for the people who are really interested in this year's Neiyi show, a large proportion of the viewers who stayed on the channel are purely for Eric's fiddling. Mi Daxiu was curious and wanted to take a look. He didn't even put down the remote control in his hand. He planned to change the channel at any time if this Nei Yixiu failed to meet their expectations.
But within just a minute of the show, the tension created by drum beats, earphones, and flashy fast-cut shots immediately locked most of the hesitant audience on the channel, when the first punk song When the rock music starts, the hot-blooded music and the hot supermodel directly stimulate the adrenaline of many audiences.
When the theme of the British invasion ended, in front of the televisions of thousands of households, many viewers seemed to have just reacted and started talking with their family members or friends.
In an apartment in midtown Manhattan, a pair of best friends named Charlotte and Alice who once met Eric in a disco on the Upper East Side were no longer the young girls who had just worked. After several years of career experience, the two women have grown into part of the Manhattan workplace elite. At the same time, they have also changed from the locomotive apartment on the street corner to the current high-rise white-collar residence. However, because the encounter left a deep impression on them, the two women have kept a close eye on Eric for several years. Therefore, when they learned that "Victoria's Secret Annual Show" will be broadcast tonight, the two girls sat in front of the TV early.
The hot-blooded punk rock came to an end, watching Cindy Crawford, who was closing in on the TV screen, disappear into the backstage entrance in a gorgeous angel costume. Charlotte, who has long hair and a hot and bold personality, patted a pillow a few times and couldn't help sighing: "It's so beautiful, and the music is great, as expected of my Eric Well, this guy is really a genius. Alice. If only I could be on this stage too, especially the butterfly angel outfit in the middle, what's the name of that Victoria's Secret angel, do you know?"
"Stephanie Seymour, didn't you read the gossip some time ago, she topped the model named Heidi Klum, who was kicked out of the Victoria's Secret show for talking nonsense. Except, I think she must regret it now," Alice is no longer the shy girl she was when she met Eric by chance, because of her attention to fashion. She is more familiar with these fashion gossips than her girlfriends who are a little more carefree.
Her eyes were still locked on the TV screen playing the extras, and Alice continued to say excitedly: "Charlotte, have you noticed the third set of Neiyi, the one with pink tassels, we'll go to the third set tomorrow. Can you take a look at the Victoria's Secret flagship store on Fifth Avenue, I want that set of Neiyi."
Charlotte recalled and said, "That set, if there is one for sale, I will definitely buy one. But even if Nei Yi on these fashion shows is to be publicly sold, it will take a few months."
Alice felt a little regretful, but remembered the subtitle prompt at the beginning of the show, and said, "Didn't it just say on TV that you can participate in the interaction through the Yahoo website? Maybe we can try it online."
Saying that, Alice couldn't wait to get up and walked to the computer desk in the corner of the living room, opened the IBM desktop computer they bought together, and quickly landed on the Yahoo website.
At this time, the Yahoo portal has already hung the topic of the Victoria's Secret show on the homepage. In addition to the most popular Victoria's Secret Angel voting page, there are also direct links to the Victoria's Secret official website and the Yahoo Forum's Victoria's Secret discussion area. . Alice hesitated. Logged in to the Yahoo account, and was about to open the Victoria's Secret theme discussion area to see what netizens had to say. Charlotte, who came up behind her, couldn't wait to point to the link to the voting page: "Hey, Alice, enter this page, I want to Vote for Stephanie Seymour."
Alice had to click on the voting page and found that the popular angel Diane Kruger, who ranked first, had more than 9,000 votes in just a few minutes, and Cindy Crawford, who ranked second, had more than 9,000 votes. It is also close to 8000.
"It's less than ten minutes, how can so many people vote?" Charlotte was a little surprised to see that her favorite Stephanie Seymour also had 1,355 votes, and forty supermodels were voting in the opening ten A total of more than 130,000 votes have been cast in minutes.
Alice pointed to a line of comments on the page and said: "Look at the voting rules, there are prizes, each Yahoo account can vote for a favorite Victoria's Secret Angel every day, and the website will randomly select 1,000 winning users every day. The prize is a box of the Victoria's Secret show hardcover tape or a $29.9 Victoria's Secret store coupon."
"1,000 people, so the odds of winning the lottery are pretty high," Charlotte said, directly using Alice's account to cast a vote for Stephanie Seymour, and after seeing the vote, Yahoo's email client rang There was a sound, and Charlotte smiled, but instead of opening Alice's mailbox, she changed her account to vote again, and while doing so, she said, "Hey, you said that if we Registering 100 accounts, will the odds of winning the lottery be higher?"
Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you see the note under the voting rules? Registered users after December 6 cannot participate in this voting."
"It's such a pity," Charlotte said. After voting, she ran to the sofa excitedly, picked up the phone and dialed the number, intending to get her friends to vote together, living in Manhattan In such a metropolis, Charlotte's friends basically have access to the Internet that has just emerged in recent years.
Alice and other girlfriends walked away, while focusing on the second topic on the TV, she casually clicked on the Victoria's Secret theme discussion area in the Yahoo community. It was found that the entire discussion forum was already boiling, and the number of replies to several posts on the top reached as many as several thousand. Alice casually posted a post, turned around and continued to watch the live broadcast of Victoria's Secret on TV for a while. In just a minute or two, after turning his head back to refresh the page again, he found that his post had been pushed to the fifth page.
Compared with Alice and Charlotte, the Manhattan girlfriends who focused most of their attention on Nei Yixiu, a large part of the audience was also attracted to the music of "My---What---In-The-Dark". Sound attracts.
In Miami, Florida, which also belongs to the east coast, a birthday party was being held at the beach bar facing the sea. Today's birthday star is the lead singer of a well-known underground band in Miami, so most of the party invites are rock youths in avant-garde costumes, which also causes the entire bar to appear smoky amid the frenzied rock music, and there are people hugging each other during the clamor. They couldn't even tell whether the other party was a man or a woman. Some people roared into the microphone intoxicated, and there were even a few hookahs passing around in the crowd.
Jay, the tattooed owner of the bar in his early forties, seemed to be used to this kind of scene and didn't mean to stop him. He didn't even bother to show contempt to this group of young people who were doing depraved things in the name of rock and roll. Watch the final episode of "Survivor" on the wall-mounted TV from behind the bar.
After "Survivor" ended. Jay was going to change the channel, but today's birthday star is also the so-called 'Night Band' lead singer Dominic blindfolded and went to the bar to ask for drinks. Jay had to give up the channel change temporarily, turned around and walked to the wine cabinet to prepare a glass of Dominica. of spirits, Jay turned around, only to find that Dominic was staring straight at the wall-mounted TV, Jay followed Dominic's gaze, because it was too noisy in the bar, Jay could only faintly hear the message from the TV. Roxy. Glancing at Dominic's dull eyes, Jay's eyes flashed a hint of mockery, pushed the glass over, and said loudly, "These girls are hot. Aren't they?"
As if awakened by Jay's voice, Dominic suddenly turned around and yelled something at the cluttered bar, but got no response.
However, Jay, who heard Dominic's voice, was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and handed a bottle of wine on the bar to Dominic, saying, "Why don't you try this."
Dominic took the full bottle of champagne and weighed it in his hands. It slammed to the ground suddenly, and the full bottle of champagne burst open, making a muffled sound, but it attracted everyone's attention.
"I said, fuck it, let me be quiet!"
In the roar, the bar suddenly became quiet, and the sound from the wall-mounted TV seemed to suddenly break through all obstacles and quickly filled the entire bar.
*…
*Somewhere, the Garden of Eden is crumbling
*I have seen the punishment of the end times
*Even if you can annihilate all living beings and destroy all things, but I am not afraid
*tears on her eyelashes
* Blur the world
*The devilish me, the flower of grey childhood
*my song
* Penetrates all true and false in the dark
*So break it down, light it up, destroy it
*…
The music on the TV fell, and someone in the quiet bar suddenly sighed, "This is punk?"
At the same time, Dominic, who was leaning on the bar, felt that his long-silent love for music seemed to be ignited again, as if he had returned to the simplicity when he obtained his first guitar at the age of thirteen. Years, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and some inexplicable sadness came from it.
Recalling the music just now, Dominic suddenly found that he knew nothing about the song except for some tunes and lyrics he accidentally wrote down, and turned to look at everyone: "Hey, who are you, does anyone know which band this is? ?"
No one answered. After a while, a freckled teenager stepped forward timidly. Dominic recognized that this little guy named Simmons had recently joined his circle. The little guy's family seemed to be pretty good. , just rushed in because he longed for this circle.
"Nick, I read the Rolling Stone magazine last month, the founder of this magazine, Jane Winner, mentioned the theme music of this Victoria's Secret show in an article, as if these bands are all fireflies. The record's upcoming newcomers have yet to release a single or album publicly, and Firefly Records has not given any information on them. However, Jane Wenner mentioned in the article that the band will perform a song next, more than The first song is even more shocking." Simmons' voice was a little hollow, in his opinion, since all these people around are rock and roll youths, they should like "Rolling Stone" very much. It's just that he didn't know that most of these people hadn't touched a book or magazine for years.
Hearing Simmons say there is another song, Dominic's eyes light up and he asks, "Do you have any more information about this band here?"
Simmons thought for a while and said, "No, but. I think now that this big show has been officially broadcast, there should be some related news in the music section of the Yahoo Forum, because Yahoo is also Eric Williams. invested in.”
Dominic asked subconsciously, "Yahoo, what is that?"
Simmons was stunned for a moment, but explained it patiently. After Dominic heard it, he looked at everyone again and said, "Which one of you has a computer at home, can you let me use it."
"Nick, I have it at home," Simmons replied again. "And. My parents aren't home today. You can come to my house."
Dominic nodded, and stood up impatiently, but he quickly thought of what Simons had just said, glanced at the TV screen that was still playing, and waved to everyone in the bar: "I'll be here today, get out of here, Simon. , wait for me to finish the next song of that band, wait for your house."
Although most people appreciate this gorgeous Neiyi fashion show. But there are also many conservative personnel shaking their heads at the Victoria's Secret show that is playing on the TV screen. The moment Thomas Peck, a well-known current affairs commentator of the New York Times, who had been watching Survivor with his family with great interest, appeared on the TV screen as a scantily clad Victoria's Secret Angel, the alliance brought a pair of children who had just entered junior high school. He rushed to the bedroom, and then said with gritted teeth to the TV screen: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. How can this kind of thing appear on public television."
Thomas Peck's wife didn't have such a big reaction as her husband, saying: "I think it's not bad, no one said that public television can't have Neiyi scenes, right?"
"But... it's not the same, this kind of thing, the sexuality is too strong, and. This music, no, this kind of thing is absolutely intolerable, I will write a letter tomorrow to complain about this, no, I am now Just go write." With that, Thomas Peck got up and walked into the study under his wife's helpless eyes.
Although tens of millions of viewers have different concerns about the Victoria's Secret show, there is no doubt that the Victoria's Secret show still firmly grasps the attention of too many people.
Eric thought that after the broadcast, the original 35 million viewership data would slip, but even he had to admit that he had ignored the potential of the Victoria's Secret show, because the viewership data of this big show not only did not slip at half an hour, but instead There was a rise of up to 6 million viewers, and the viewership figure easily rebounded to 41 million.
In the conference room of the headquarters, facing the ratings data that went against the market, everyone was extremely happy. President Robert Iger also hoped to take advantage of the leading edge of the final episode of "Survivor" to select a hot summer movie from Firefly to play, so as to ensure that tonight's prime-time viewing data remains at an average of 40 million. In order to obtain greater advertising revenue, he has always been a bit slandered about Eric's decision to insist on playing the Victoria's Secret show. At this time, Robert Iger no longer has the previous resistance, and he is more interested in Eric. A bit of admiration and trust.
On the other side of the desk, the five Victoria's Secret spokespersons gathered around them all focused on the popular angel voting page, looking at the total number of votes that had accumulated more than 500,000 in more than half an hour. The expression is very reserved, but the joy on his face is hard to hide.
Although they are the top supermodels in the fashion industry, it is the first time that they have received such a large-scale attention from ordinary people. Of course, high popularity means high returns for commercial endorsements. , the excitement in their hearts can be imagined.
Cindy Crawford looked at the voting page for Diane Kruger, who had nearly 50,000 votes. Although her vote was less than 3,000 away from Diane Kruger, she still couldn't hide her jealousy , she knew that the other three women around her must have thought the same thing. If it wasn't for the women surrounding her, Cindy Crawford might have logged into her Yahoo account to vote for herself, and even made up her mind to contact her. Some people help themselves to swipe the ticket.
Thinking of this, Cindy Crawford looked up at Eric who was on the opposite side, and glanced at the more than 32,000 votes of Tyra Banks. Banks is one of the five key publicity spokespersons, but Cindy Crawford feels that Tyra Banks is a black man after all, well, it is a light-skinned and very attractive chocolate color, but Because of her racial disadvantage and Tyra Banks' previous status in the fashion industry, Cindy Crawford felt that Tyra Banks' natural racial disadvantage could not have allowed her to get more than 30,000 votes. There may be some hidden secrets in it.
Perhaps it was a longer period of trance, and Cindy Crawford found that Eric noticed that she was looking at him, and looked up lightly, as if seeing through Cindy Crawford's mind directly. Under Eric's eyes, Cindy Crawford felt a little guilty for no reason, and quickly lowered her head, but then she muttered in her heart: "Really, have I done anything shameful, why should I be afraid of him? ."
To cheer himself up like this, Cindy Crawford raised his head and looked over again, but Eric had already turned his head and chatted with Robert Iger next to him.
Just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, Cindy Crawford found that Emily Brighton on the opposite side suddenly raised her head and said to Eric: "Eric, why is the page of the Victoria's Secret Forum suddenly stuck?
