After the All-Star Game ends, Edison is destined to be in the limelight.
The All-Star Game has a very special status for Americans, and even the world. Stern has been thinking about a question, and that is why the performances of American football's top players are always so successful, while the All-Star Game is always so successful.
There is so much difference in terms of influence and economic benefits. But he has never come to a reliable conclusion. Instead, he went astray. For example, choosing Denver, an inland city this year, is destined to be different from choosing Denver, New York, Los Angeles, or even New York.
Nothing can compare to Miami.
Of course, it is undeniable that even if the NBA does not do any promotion, there will always be a group of die-hard fans around the world watching the live broadcast on TV. But if you can invite a group of popular and prestigious entertainment stars to join the lineup, then the NBA
There will be an additional number of viewers, 40% of which come from the readers of major entertainment gossip newspapers, and the other 60% come from young fans who watch the show.
Because in the small city of Denver, and the league has never announced the All-Star performers, no one is optimistic about this All-Star event, and even many extreme people publicly announced in advance that the All-Star is dead. In the end, Edison came to the rescue again.
During the performance, the song "vida" broke out in the audience, causing everyone to immediately change their previous thoughts.
The next day, various media outlets conducted comprehensive coverage of the All-Star Game. All media outlets spoke highly of Edison's performance in the All-Star Game.
"Los Angeles Times" said, "It's hard for you to imagine that this is Paul Edison's first All-Star experience, and I don't think many people knew who he was before this season. But his passionate singing in the All-Star Game yesterday is destined to become a classic
, we can say that he no longer only belongs to basketball, basketball is just a small attribute label on him, and the larger label of a new generation of entertainment idol has been attached to him."
The New York Times, which is also called the Los Angeles Times, gave a more concise summary of Edison's performance during the All-Star Weekend. "If Iverson is the MVP of the Eastern and Western All-Star Games, then Paul Edison is the MVP of this All-Star Weekend."
The mvp of the All-Star Carnival. Whether it was his unexpected appearance at the end of the Rookie Challenge, his singing before the All-Star game, or even the interaction during the halftime break, he was able to express himself with ease, showing his unique side.
Originally, the NBA gave people the impression that it was a raw male competitive sport full of male hormones, but Edison began to change the world's view - it turns out that the NBA is also full of artistry, wisdom and humor, and it is also so colorful. Before that, St.
The 'gentleman's basketball' that Edison promoted has always been ridiculed by others. Now it seems that he just didn't find a suitable entry point before, and now Edison has become the perfect spokesperson for this concept."
Compared with this general overview of large comprehensive media, media such as ESPN that focus on sports provide a more detailed analysis.
ESPN columnist Mark Stein immediately wrote an article interpreting Edison's "vida" after the All-Star Game.
"I'm sure many people listened to this song more than once yesterday. Indeed, this song is very beautiful. However, I am not a master of music theory. I cannot give you guidance on some musical things, but I think the lyrics of this song
It's a perfect match for the All-Star Game, and it's very timely."
"I know that Juventus will definitely be confused when I say this. After all, this song has nothing to do with basketball on the surface, and it has nothing to do with the higher, faster and stronger spirit of competitive sports. If you just read the lyrics literally,
If you look at it, the character this song is written about is Louis XVI, and its background is before and after the French Revolution. The "Long Live Life" sung in the lyrics refers to freedom. Life is not simply living, but living a free and meaningful life. But I
Why is this song so timely?”….
"Because the NBA at this moment is also at the end of a dynasty and a new era is about to begin. The dynasty I am referring to here is not the Lakers dynasty, but the superstar dynasty of the 1990s. The All-Stars of 2003
After the game, Michael announced his retirement again, believing that he would not come back again after this retirement. Also before the start of that season, Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, and David Robinson retired one after another, and last season Stowe
Cotton and Malone also announced their retirement. Just 2 months into this season, Pippen also announced his retirement. The players who were all-powerful in the 1990s now only have Miller and Payton struggling to support them, but we should see
They are no longer the most popular players in the league, they are gradually giving up their position in the center of the stage."
"So just like what is sung in this song, the previous king has died! There will be new kings for generations! The NBA has begun to enter a new era, so I say this song is very timely. At this critical moment for the replacement of the old and the new in the league
, this song is not only an elegy for the retired superstars, but also announces to the world as a newcomer that the NBA has entered a new era that belongs to them. Every player and every team is working hard, hoping
Becoming a new generation of rulers, they are full of desire to rule the future, and Paul Edison, who currently tops the league in record, is undoubtedly qualified to be the person to ring the bell of the new era."
This is just the sports circle's evaluation of Edison, the entertainment circle has completely exploded.
Originally, the most popular guest for this all-star performance was Beyoncé. The most popular little diva in the American music scene today has a very good fortune this year. She is popular no matter what she does. Therefore, she has become the target of invitations to major performances.
How popular is she? For example, Beyoncé will perform three "Best Song" nominees at the Oscars in a week.
But now the result is that she unexpectedly lost the election. When some reporters interviewed her before the All-Star Game and asked about this matter, although she didn't say anything on her face, she said that All-Star Weekend is a grand ceremony for basketball fans around the world.
Officials of the NBA league will definitely have their own ideas. Although her response was very official, she still said sourly at the end, "Actually, I also want to see who the league can invite to the All-Star Weekend.
What a wonderful show."
With Beyoncé's loss, there were only a few other potential celebrities, but soon everyone including Madonna, Usher, Britney and others confirmed that they would not participate. Now everyone is more interested than
Mobilized, and then they all turned their attention to David Stern, hoping that he could reveal the answer to everyone. But unexpectedly, the league suddenly started to play mysticism. David Stern had this question before the start of this game.
He has always avoided discussing the issue. He only said that there will be star performances, and the specific candidates and content will be kept confidential.
When David Stern was being interviewed, he acted very naturally. Even when he said that he didn't know clearly, his eyes showed a little confusion. "Does he really don't know?" The reporter began to wonder.
Of course, in fact, Stern really didn't know everything. He only knew about Edison at the beginning, but he didn't know exactly what Edison planned to perform.
But if you say you don’t know, you really don’t know. What can Hollywood do? So they began to turn their attention to the people around Stern and tried to get words from them, but the effect was very poor. Because Stern had already made a decision in advance.
The gag order means that what you know about Edison must not be leaked, but if you don't know about it, you really don't know.
In the end, these paparazzi and others tried their best and came up with an alternative plan, saying that Stern had been contacting former Beatle Paul McCartney. This news made the entertainment media very excited.
I'm pretty sure this is Stern's plan. All alternatives are lies. Even the "Hollywood News" has begun to laugh at David Stern's pretentiousness...
But unexpectedly, less than a week before the start of the All-Star Game, everyone suddenly discovered that Paul McCartney was still in the UK and had no intention of leaving for the United States. Then reporters who knew him well asked about it and found out
This was really a backup plan, and in the end it was David Stern who decided to implement the preferred plan that no one knew about.
At this time, the entire American entertainment industry was completely unable to sit still. They took a big inventory and basically asked all possible questions, but there was no answer. Of course, some third-rate stars publicly clamored, claiming that they would go
Participated in an all-star performance, but no one believed it.
Although I don’t know who will participate in the All-Star Show this year, but look at the performance at Staples last year, there were three headliners: Demi Moore, Paris Hilton and Janet Jackson.
The three of them alone contributed thousands of live photos to photo agencies around the world, turning Staples into Broadway. Although these three people had a bad reputation at that time, Hilton had just divorced her ex-boyfriend.
Roman reached an out-of-court settlement over the profits from the sale of his self-filmed sex tapes, and the aging Janet Jackson also exposed the "super star's public exposure of breasts incident." As a result, media around the world were claiming that the 2004 NBA All-Star Game was simply
A big party for scandalous actresses. But no matter how they are, from a side perspective, the All-Star event has received another real free high-profile publicity.
However, judging from the development trend of this year's All-Star Game, there are no big names, and there is no Paul McCartney. So what will happen to the All-Star Game? Could it be that Stern has just recognized a "girlfriend" and plans to celebrate it by then?
What? In short, no one is optimistic about this year’s All-Star performance.
Even when Edison first appeared on the stage, they thought so. The all-star show prepared in advance was a farce script, and it was almost ready to be typed. But when the song was halfway through, they knew something was wrong.
Completely exceeded their expectations.
Are there any songs sung on the All-Stars that are good and highly popular? There are definitely some. But generally those songs are the guest’s classics from that year, songs written for the All-Stars, or songs that were first released on the All-Stars are good.
Almost none.
The league is also aware of this problem, so even the songs that Usher later composed for the NBA will be released in advance. If it sounds good, it is best for everyone to accept it. If it doesn't work, it can be regarded as being vaccinated in advance.
But this time Stern really came with a big ticket, no demos or the like were leaked in advance, it can be said that this song is released for the first time.
The result is that they don't think about whether this song is suitable for the All-Star occasion. They only know that if they listen to the first three lines of this song, most people will confirm that this song is too nice and attractive.
Turn's bet won.
In short, Edison is popular, "vida" is popular, and this all-star performance is popular.
