Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

After recording the Ellen Show, Elisa ran a radio show and a media interview non-stop, and spent the next three days of publicity almost in a hurry.But in these shows, she didn't say the name of her album like she did on the "Ellen Show", but used "second album" and "new album" to describe it.

This is also a tacit agreement between Elisa and the "Ellen Show" program team, to put some important news at the right time and release it for the first time on the right platform, so as to get as close to the best publicity effect as possible.

In fact, before the release of the album this time, Eliza did not appear on as many shows as she did during the promotion period for her first album. This time, the number of shows she participated in for promotion was almost only one-third of the previous time. .One of the important factors is the theme of Eliza's album.

Although Elisa's original intention of designing this theme album is entirely for music and against sexism, Carlos, as a manager, will consider more complex and comprehensive content than Elisa.The idea of ​​such an album would no doubt appeal to a minority of those people, but at the same time, it would in turn offend conservatives, or at the very least feel provoked.

Therefore, when promoting the new album this time, Carlos was very cautious about the selection of the program.The program invitations sent out were almost twice as long as the promotional period of Eliza's first album, but Carlos only kept about one-sixth of the invitations in the end.

Among the many talk shows that offered her an olive branch, she chose the Allen Show, which was also the decision Carlos made for her after weighing the pros and cons of many parties.First of all, the Ellen Show is the trump card of the daytime talk show. Its audience is concentrated on housewives, retired elderly and school students. Therefore, among the audience watching the Ellen Show, the proportion of women will be relatively large.Moreover, because of Allen's own homosexuality, her audience is also a group of people who are relatively concerned about and tolerant of the situation of disadvantaged groups.

Disclosing the name and details of the second album on such a show is currently a relatively low-risk approach.

At ten o'clock in the morning on Friday, Allen posted a message on his public social platform——

Ellen DeGeneres: The Ellen Show is coming up, are you guys ready? @Eliza Lin

Soon, Elisa replied to Allen's message——

Eliza Lim: Can't wait for today's show / Ellen DeGeneres: "The Ellen Show" is about to start, are you ready? @Eliza Lin

Just the previous Thursday night, Eliza had gotten a text from Allen asking if she needed to promote it ahead of time on social media.According to the normal process, there was no need to seek Elisa's opinion on this matter, but after hearing the song sung by Elisa on the spot, Allen also roughly guessed that Elisa's promotion would be subject to some shackles.

The moment she received the text message, Elisa suddenly understood where Alan's good popularity came from. Allen's thoughtful behavior made Elisa, who was holding her mobile phone, couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.After a brief discussion with Carlos, Elisa agreed.

These two pieces of news shocked the crowd who followed Elisa and Allen at the same time, which directly caused a huge amount of data to flow to the NBC data monitoring center in a short period of time five minutes before the start of "The Allen Show".

At 11:00 am on Friday, "The Ellen Show" starts on time.

This issue of "The Ellen Show" undoubtedly aroused the enthusiasm of netizens. As early as when Elisa walked on stage wearing a red dress, the TV was immersed in a sea of ​​exclamations.Not only boys, but many girls sat in front of the TV, staring at Eliza's every move with red faces and bright eyes.

The gossip between Elisa and Bruce, the new song released by Elisa on the show, the incomparably tacit dialogue between the host Allen and Elisa, the endless laughter... Whether it is the old audience of the Allen show or because of Eliza The guest Sha, who came to watch the show specially, watched it with great interest.

As Allen acted as a temporary program announcer and read a song that he had never heard before, Eliza's fans who had been waiting in front of the TV for a long time straightened up immediately——

coming!

The sound of drums brought the audience, who had been distracted, back to the TV.

The lights on the stage floor are dimly lit, setting the stage into a quiet atmosphere, and the audience seems to have strayed into the forest; the ground projects dark and intertwined branches, stretching and bending on the ground.

At this moment, the singing of the female voice rose leisurely, like a ray of breeze blowing through the forest, but it seemed to have a hint of coldness, and it went straight through the audience's collars and cufflinks.The female voice floated in the air, as if the forest goddess was giving orders to expel the unexpected visitor.

Many viewers subconsciously hugged their arms tightly in front of the TV, and shrank their bodies unconsciously.

"He said it wouldn't do you any good to spread the word / He said..."

Although the lyrics were cryptic, some people still heard the overtones. At the moment when a high note burst in the middle, the anger contained in it completely blasted into the ears of all the audience along with this sentence.

"But why did I compromise! Why! Why!"

These high-pitched voices roared towards the audience with puzzlement and anger, asking each audience's heart.So much so that when the show ended, many viewers sat in front of the TV and hadn't recovered from the surging emotions just now.

Although not everyone may be able to immediately understand the implicit criticism in Eliza's single, there is no doubt that this song is a hit!

In terms of rhythm, melody, lyrics, and the completion of live singing, this is a masterpiece.Within half an hour of "The Ellen Show" airing, the song had climbed to the bottom of Twitter's search charts, slowly but steadily climbing its way up.

With the influx of "tap water," the single has already taken social media by storm in the run-up to the release of Eliza's second album.But Elisa's team did not act rashly. The time for Elisa's album release has been set, and the release time will not be changed because of this unexpected popularity. However, Carlos is still staring at the popularity of this song and related content on major platforms. It is required to maintain the popularity of this song at least until tomorrow when the new album is released.

At this moment, Eliza, who had just finished a radio interview, was sitting in the car and received a nonsensical text message, the content of which was only a short sentence——

Thank you.

Eliza stared at the familiar name with a smile on her lips.

……

At [-] o'clock on Saturday night, Eliza's second album "FemaleForce" was released on various platforms. Although the statistics have not yet been released, the rapid increase in the playback volume of the two MVs released on Youtube has already made people peek into this. The popularity of the album.

On a seemingly peaceful Sunday, October 2017, 10, a slogan from an obscure New York community organizer serving underrepresented women was retweeted by her actress friend Tarana Burke.

Her caption was simple -- if you've ever been sexually assaulted or harassed, please respond to this tweet with 'Me Too' (MeToo).

This little butterfly flapping its wings, at the right position and with the right strength, flapped gently, opening up the anger and resistance that had been accumulated for a long time since the beginning of the year.

Soon, the message was popping up on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, with hundreds of people replying to it.Some of them just wrote "me too," and many more recounted experiences of being sexually assaulted or harassed.In this resistance without gunpowder smoke, many people bravely stood up, exposed themselves to the scrutiny of the public, opened their wounds with difficulty but calmly, and exposed the scabbed parts.

Countless unexpected people stood up, including actors, singers, and women from all walks of life, who stood up and used "#MeToo#" to make their stand.

On the cusp of this storm, Alyssa shrank in her room, silent for a long time.She closed her eyes and fell asleep, and the song "Why" was played in a loop in the earphones. She held the phone tightly, but her wrist couldn't help trembling slightly, and then again, her fingers were so heavy that she couldn't lift them.

After a long time, she finally opened her eyes, as if she had made an important decision, she turned on the screen and typed one word after another very seriously.

When Alyssa sent out this tweet, everyone who followed the disturbance immediately noticed it.

She not only added "#MeToo#", but also calmly narrated the incident that happened that year in a No. The depressive narrative makes people feel a powerless anger.

At the end of her tweet, she wrote:

"I used to be timid and flinched, and I recalled this incident again and again at night, and tortured my heart. Is this incident really the same as what they said, was I too impulsive?

But now, I can give the answer: no.

In this matter, I am not at fault at all. What is wrong is the photographer who made a crooked idea and wanted to rule me unspoken. It is those who persuaded me to swallow my anger and agreed to work with the photographer for tens of thousands of yuan without asking my opinion. My ex-manager, who is now a private teacher.

If I can go back to the end, I must hug the woman who was at a loss and tell her that you are not wrong. "

Elisa read this tweet carefully, and she left a serious message below:

Hugs to you my friend.

I am always with you.
