The Best Entertainment Era

Wearing a baseball cap with Avril Lavigne's name on it, Ronan walked into a small theater near Hollywood Boulevard. The theater was not too big and could only accommodate a few hundred people.

For new singers, it is not a good thing to hold a new song release ceremony in too large a place.

After all, there is no fan base, even if there are various public relations operations, the bigger the place, the more vacant places will be.

Since he came relatively early, Ronan sat in the front row very close to the stage, and further ahead were the seats for media reporters.

Not too many reporters came, only a few dozen or so.

As for the fans, Ronan made a general observation, and there were very few fans who came spontaneously, most of them were probably invited.

It is said that the first single of Avril Lavigne's first album Super Complicated started to hit the charts on the radio a week ago. I don't know if there is not enough time to prepare, or the company's promotional efforts have not kept up, which makes the new song release somewhat a little bit deserted.

Although Ronan has never been in the pop music scene, he can also imagine that it is impossible for a new singer to be treated as well as a star.

There are countless new singers who release songs in the North American music scene every year, but very few who can 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 started, about two-thirds of the seats were filled.

The sound of the electric guitar suddenly sounded, the lights flickered, the curtain on the stage opened, and a girl holding an electric guitar stood in the middle of the stage.

She wears smoky makeup, a simple T-shirt, jeans and sneakers, a shiny metal chain hanging around her waist, and one strand of her dazzling blonde hair is highlighted in pink, which is extra eye-catching.

Without a host, without strings of words, or even any superfluous actions, the prelude to the song that Ronan is very familiar with has already played.

Then, Avril Lavigne sang.

Aha...aha...

That's the way life is, that's what it is, calm your voice...

This song is catchy, and the lyrics seem to describe a hypocrite,

Probably because she is less than eighteen years old, Avril Lavigne's singing voice is still a little immature and cute.

The future rock punk princess is just getting on the stage.

The singing fell quickly, and there was applause and whistles at the scene. Many media reporters also picked up cameras or video cameras and took pictures of Avril Lavigne on the stage.

Avril--

There were people in the audience shouting loudly.

As for the real fans, or the professional fans hired by the record company, it is impossible to tell.

The band on the stage began to adjust their instruments, Avril Lavigne still didn't mean to speak, just kept laughing towards the stage below.

Obviously, even after professional training, Avril Lavigne is still somewhat nervous.

Even if someone is born with a big heart, it is absolutely false to say that he has no mood swings at this time.

The applause and whistles were still ringing, and Ronan also whistled. Since he was closer to the stage, the whistle seemed to have caught Avril's attention, and she turned her head to look over.

Ronan took off the baseball cap with Avril Lavigne's name on it, and waved it towards the stage.

Avril saw Ronan, laughed again, and raised her hand to wave this way.

Fans responded even more enthusiastically, and Ronan continued to return baseball caps like a crazy fan.

At the same time, he could also see that there were a few more tattoos on Avril's right forearm than when they met last time, which seemed to be musical notes.

The music sounded again at this time, and Avril Lavigne sang the second song.

The new song press conference went smoothly, just like the premiere of a movie. After going through every process, and then being interviewed by media reporters, it was the end.

The audience left the stage one after another, but Ronan did not leave. When he came to the passage leading to the backstage, he was stopped by the staff.

Sorry, sir. The staff was very polite, and there was no such thing as the legendary dog ​​looking at people: You can't come in here for the time being.

Ronan was also very polite: I'm a friend of Avril Lavigne, and I'll go backstage to meet her after we make an appointment at the concert.

The staff quickly asked, May I ask your name?

Ronan said, Ronan Anderson.

The staff member turned on the walkie-talkie in his hand, said a few words, and within two minutes, someone came here, but it was Avril Lavigne's manager.

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 this way.

Ronan followed her into a lounge. Avril Lavigne was communicating with the band about the live performance just now, and he waited patiently.

After a while, Avril Lavigne finished her work, turned her head to look at Ronan, walked over with a smile, pointed to the hat Ronan was wearing, and asked, Did you do it specially?

Ronan took off his hat and said: I run a film company, you sent me an invitation, and I specially asked the company's prop master to do it. Originally, I wanted to make hundreds of them and give one to each of the fans who came over. But time is too tight, next time you inform me earlier.

Avril took the hat, put it on her head directly, 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 wrote it down and said, I will buy it as soon as possible.

No need. Avril waved to a female assistant, who immediately sent a record, and the cover of the record was Avril. She handed it to Ronan: This is the hat in return, with my signature on it.

Ronan glanced at the fancy English and said, Thank you. He solemnly put it away: It's a very precious gift, and I will definitely treasure it forever.

Avril waved her hand and said carelessly: It's just a record, don't be so polite.

Ronan whispered, When your album comes out, I'll buy 10,000 copies at a time.

Uh... Avril was still young and had never experienced such a situation. She was dumb for a while, and after a while, she frowned and said: I know you are a rich man, so you can buy it if you want it, why tell me.

She is straightforward: Doesn't this reduce the coolness of my record sales?

Ronan still whispered, Just pretend I didn't say anything.

As for buying the record and not letting Avril know about it, how is it possible for someone like Ronan?

How can I win more favor if I don't tell you that I will support you with a large sum of money?

Hundreds of thousands of dollars are poured down, and of course there will be some splashes on the lake.

Ronan said again: Don't worry, your first record will definitely sell well, and that song Super Complicated is really great.

Avril Lavigne is full of confidence: Of course I will succeed.

Ronan whispered again: If you need help, just say it.

Avril looked around, leaned close 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 asked tentatively, Go to my place? I have tens of thousands of bottles of good wine in my wine cellar.

Avril Lavigne came to the spirit instantly: Really?

Ronan gestured with his eyes: You have to convince your manager and people from the record company.

At this moment, people from the manager and the record company are all staring at the two of them.

It's okay. Avril Lavigne said carelessly, You wait for me at the back door of the theater.

Ronan shrugged and said deliberately: You'd better say hello in advance, otherwise you'll go to the police station to release me on bail.

Avril Lavigne said: Tch, it sounds like you want to do something.

She waved at Ronan, turned around and walked towards the agent. Ronan left the rest room, got out of the theater and got into the car, and asked David to drive the car to the back door of the theater.

After waiting for a long time, Avril slipped out of the theater, ran to the front of the car and got on the car.

Seeing her depressed, Ronan asked, What's wrong?

Avril complained: They won't let me go alone! Am I still a child? Can't even tell the good from the bad?

Ronan touched his nose, not embarrassed at all, 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 signaled David to drive, and then said to Avril Lavigne: We will have plenty of opportunities in the future.

Avril nodded first, then shook her head: From the day after tomorrow, I will be running around the United States to make announcements, and I don't know when I will return to Los Angeles.

The car turned onto Hollywood Boulevard, and a car followed from behind. Ronan glanced back, and it was the car of Avril Lavigne's manager 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, those under the age of eighteen naturally had protective shields.

Some things are really not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Especially for someone like Ronan who knows the general trend of future development.

Ronan said: I'll treat you to a drink after you finish this stage. I will leave Los Angeles soon, and I will go on a business trip overseas. It may take a long time before I come back.

The Bentley arrived in West Hollywood elegantly and stopped in front of an apartment building. Before Avril got out of the car, Ronan said: Avril, I wish you a big record sale.

Avril Lavigne has always been straightforward: You prepare wine to celebrate me!

Ronan laughed: When I come back, if your record can be sold as a platinum, I will open a thousand bottles of wine for you to celebrate!

Okay! Avril felt that her manager was thinking too much, what danger would someone as straightforward as Ronan be in?

Ronan waved to Avril Lavigne and told David to return to Beverly Hills.

After returning home, he told the housekeeper, Nikia, to prepare her luggage, and soon she will start a trip to the East with the people from the embassy film industry.

Ronan has accepted the invitation from the Shanghai International Film Festival Organizing Committee, and is going to take professional buyers from the embassy film industry to Shanghai to participate in the trade fair during the film festival. By the way, buying a film may be very popular in North America. movie of.
