With the encouragement of his friends, Adam Brandt regained his confidence. He was waiting for the moment when he would play.
"Okay, next one!" On the stage, a guy who was playing the role of "vegetable" with a cabbage on his head was passed, and the interviewer shouted to the next contestant.
"It's me, it's my turn!" Adam was very excited.
"Come on, Adam, you can do it, we support you!" cheered the friends.
Adam waved his fist and said, "Well, I will try my best!" After that, he walked onto the stage.
"Name?" the interviewer asked.
"Adam Lambert, I am seventeen years old this year. I was born in Indiana and later moved to San Diego, California..."
"Okay, this young man named 'Adam', we didn't ask you so many questions. You only need to answer your name. As for the rest, now is the audition. Let's wait until you are shortlisted!" The interviewer
He knocked on the table and said, "Hahaha!" People laughed, "Look, this stupid boy really thinks of himself as a star!"
The jeers continued, and Adam's face turned red.
"What show are you going to perform?" the interviewer looked at the little guy who looked like "Elvis Presley" and asked.
"Can I sing?"
"sure."
"Okay then, I'll sing Michael Jackson's "Thriller"!"
As we all know, the original name of the "Thriller" album was "Starlight", which was a work that Michael Jackson intended to dedicate to his mother. During post-production, because he was dissatisfied with the mixing effect of the song, the perfectionist Mike risked being sued by his employer for breach of contract and re-recorded it.
The entire album. As a result, "Thiriller" achieved unprecedented success, sweeping the global music scene. It became the highest-selling album in world history. According to statistics from the World Phonographic Statistics Association, nearly 100 million copies had been sold as of 2001.
"Hey, Adam, are you sure you want to sing this song?" The interviewer had a good impression of this handsome little guy and reminded him, "This song looks average, but it's actually very difficult to sing. You have to be careful.
Already."
"Thank you, I will."
"Well, we don't have much time, so just sing a few lines." The interviewer yawned out of boredom. For the whole day, there were almost only urine spots, no highlights, and it was really sleepy. Well, still
Hurry and close the stall and go home to eat potato pancakes, with a bottle of cold beer and chili sauce, it must taste great.
"But... there doesn't seem to be any accompaniment music here..."
The interviewer smiled and said, "Hey man, this is a promotion competition. No one will prepare an accompaniment for you, so just sing a cappella. Well, you'd better hurry up, there are people waiting behind you!"
"Okay then..." Adam took a deep breath and started singing.
"Itsclosetomidnight
somethingevilslurkinfromthedark
Underthemoonlight
Youseeasightthatalmoststopsyourheart…”
At the beginning, everyone was noisy, waiting for Adam to be passed directly. Only a few of Adam's friends helped him.
But when Adam started singing like this, the entire audition scene instantly fell silent.
That's right, it just became eerily quiet.
Everyone looked at Adam silently, at the young man singing "Thiriller" acapella on the stage.
At this moment, Adam had forgotten everything, and he was singing to his heart's content. It was as if he was on a big stage that only belonged to him.
He is born to be a star and shines on the stage.
"He's pretty good looking, this guy!"
"Ha, this song is difficult to sing, but he can sing it so well!"
"He should be on American Idol!"
…
Countless people talked about it. They were slowly conquered by Adam's singing voice. In the opinion of many people, Adam sings very well and should participate in reality shows as soon as possible.
In fact, no one knows that in his previous life, Adam Lambert was the super champion of "American Idol"!
In that time and space, Adam couldn't help but become an idol in the entire United States, and also captured many fans in Europe and Asia beyond North America. His wild and enchanting beauty was known as one of the sexiest singers in the world.
But now, Adam has participated in the audition for the role of "The Hunger Games" in advance, because he has a dream, that is, to be able to meet his idol Yi Feiyang and film a scene directed by him.
In Adam's bedroom, there are countless personal posters of Yi Feiyang. Adam even collected all the news magazines and newspapers about Yi Feiyang, cut out his reports and made them into a booklet...
Sometimes, Adam even weirdly thinks that he seems to have fallen in love with this super magical Chinese director, because of his youth, his handsomeness, and his talent...
Yes, in his previous life, Adam Lambert was a homosexual and one of the world-famous "out" male celebrities.
At this time, Adam didn't realize that his gender orientation was weird, but he just had a strange affection for Yi Feiyang. This kind of affection made him run over to participate in the audition for the role of "The Hunger Games" at all costs, with only one purpose -
--Infinitely close to your idol!
On the stage, in order to achieve his goal, Adam has put aside everything and sang. His voice is round and loud, especially in the treble part, which can actually reach the level of Mike's deep and sharp voice.
Incredible!
It’s incredible!
At this time, the interviewer had already forgotten the agreement to let Adam "sing a few lines" and listened to the song "Thiriller" with great interest.
As for Adam, it seemed that just singing could not express his feelings, so he imitated Mike's appearance in the "Thiriller" MV and actually danced the "zombie dance" with a cool attitude.
As we all know, in 1983, Mike's production team spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to shoot the zombie group dance scene in the "Thiriller" MV, and this dance became the object of imitation by many American youths at the time.
Now almost twenty years have passed, and everyone has seen this wonderful and exciting dance again. It feels like...finding your first love.
There is no doubt that Adam made the cut!
…
The audition for the role of "The Hunger Games" has been going on for almost a month, and the whole United States is in a state of excitement because of this audition. People who like to be celebrities even regard this matter as a talking point.
You know, this is the United States, Hollywood, and a star manufacturing factory. But often those big stars are products of the star manufacturing factory, or they are top students trained by a certain film school. Ordinary people want to become stars and superstars.
It was a foolish dream. But things are different now. Yi Feiyang gave them a chance and a stage to show their talents. As long as you have talent, please come right away!
The Hunger Games needs you!
The Hunger Games is waiting for you!
Boiling America. Boiling four cities, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles...
You can see the audition posters for "The Hunger Games" at any time and anywhere, and you can hear news about the auditions for "The Hunger Games" at any place and at any time.
In short, the lives of the American people are surrounded by "The Hunger Games". Whether it is entertainment media, whether it is TV stations or computer networks, they are all filled with news about "The Hunger Games".
In the words of US President George W. Bush, "Now, we are all 'hungry'!"
It can be said that the audition activities for "The Hunger Games" brought about effects that even Yi Feiyang himself had not expected.
What was even more unexpected to him was the huge advertising profit brought by this event. Not to mention anything else, the naming rights of this event alone were sold for 10 million US dollars!
Calculating all advertising fees, after the end of this event, Fantasy Entertainment Group will receive at least US$123 million in advertising fees!
For the first time, Yi Feiyang felt the charm of the American advertising business, which was more profitable than making movies!
But soon, his idea was scoffed by Vice President Dures.
"Dear Yi, the most profitable thing in the world is not making movies, playing stocks, or collecting pitiful advertising fees, but... online games!"
A word that wakes up the dreamer!
Yi Feiyang, who was originally very proud, immediately smelled the smell of money rolling in.
Others may not quite understand the meaning of Dures' words, but as a "experienced person" Yi Feiyang knows very well that online games will be extremely profitable in the future!
What about "Warcraft", what about "Legend", what about "Crossfire"... God, as long as someone plays, they will keep paying you! What are you paying for? Buy equipment!
Yes, there are so many people in this world who are addicted to games. They can and are willing to spend real money to buy the equipment in your game. Maybe these equipment are not too expensive, but they can’t bear the large number of people, tens of thousands.
, or even hundreds of millions of people, then the equipment costs you gain will become terrifying astronomical figures!
Yi Feiyang was excited, really excited. He understood that Dures was never a person without a clear goal. Since he said so, he must have some big plan.
As expected.
Dures told Yi Feiyang that he had negotiated with Alan Adham, the head of Blizzard Online Game Company, and was ready to sign a cooperation intention to jointly develop an online game version of "The Hunger Games"!
Blizzard?!
Hearing this word, "Warcraft" and "Dark God of Destruction" immediately came to Yi Feiyang's mind!
If there is any online game company in the United States that is the most awesome, then it is undoubtedly Blizzard!
As the founder and game designer of this company, few people know who he is?
And he is Alan Adhan.
In fact, in the global gaming circle, there are quite a few people who don’t know the experience of Blizzard entrepreneurs. An important reason is that Blizzard has always been unwilling to use the media to hype itself. In 1998, Blizzard founder Alan Adham resigned as president.
, retreated from the front line to the second line. As a consultant, Alan Adhan hopes that he can have enough time to return to game design.
What is quite funny is that the news of Alan Adham's resignation did not have any repercussions among players, nor did it reduce players' good impression of Blizzard. A very simple reason is that outside Blizzard employees, no one really knows.
Who is Alan Adham and what does he do?
"We love game design work, but we need to focus on game products!" The happiness gained from the game development process is enough for Blizzard entrepreneurs to avoid any temptations from the outside world. This passion for dedication to their careers makes them silent
Farming, and even contact with the outside world remains largely closed.
At Blizzard, everyone from the boss to the employees keeps a low profile, and the company's door is rarely open to the outside world. Blizzard people only focus on their own careers. This is different from some companies in China who only know the name of the boss but not their products.
A strange phenomenon, forming a sharp contrast.
At this moment, in the reception room of Fantasy Entertainment Group Company, Yi Feiyang was waiting to meet this legendary gaming genius.
Yes, Yi Feiyang was a little impatient to meet this strange man who created countless classic games.
If he is a wizard in the film industry, then there is no doubt that Alan Adham is a wizard in the gaming industry.
When the time came for the appointment, Yi Feiyang looked at his watch and felt a little anxious.
Although Dures had made all preparations before this, he was waiting for the big boss Yifeiyang to sign the agreement with Allen. However, in Yifeiyang's view, as long as the cooperation document has not been signed, everything will change.
possible.
Another three minutes passed, and just when Yi Feiyang was getting a little impatient, Alan Adhan arrived.
When he saw Allen, Yi Feiyang's first impression was that he was very dull. Yes, he wore thick glasses, disheveled brown hair, and an unkempt beard. He was wearing a suit that seemed to be borrowed, with baggy trouser legs that didn't fit well.
"Sorry, Mr. Yi, I'm late!" Allen apologized to Yi Feiyang as soon as they met, "You know, there was a traffic jam on the road, and the taxi I took was really slow..."
Yi Feiyang shrugged, "It's okay Mr. Allen, everyone knows the damn traffic in the United States... But you can definitely drive here by yourself, it might be a little faster."
"Oh, sorry, I can't drive!"
"What? You can't drive?!" Yi Feiyang looked at Alan Adhan as if he saw a monster.
You know, this is the United States. Americans regard cars as the most important means of transportation. They are similar to bicycles in China. Almost everyone can drive them, but this person in front of me...can't even drive!
Seeing Yi Feiyang so surprised, Allen adjusted his glasses a little embarrassedly and said: "I know, this is ridiculous. But damn, I just can't learn. Yes, I have taken the driver's license test thirteen times.
It’s not over yet!”
You are a genius, you can take the driving license test thirteen times, you are almost as good as "SpongeBob SquarePants"...
“The examiner who took my driver’s license test said that if I want to get a driver’s license in this life, there are only two reasons. First, if the end of the world has come, they will be kind and let me pass; second, if the end of the world has not come, but
Their heads were kicked by donkeys!" Allen shrugged, "You know, I was very sad when I heard this, yes, very sad! After all, I tried hard, but... that damn car is
If you don’t listen to me, maybe in my previous life I was an Arab and the only means of transportation was a camel!”
I didn't expect that Allen could speak so well.
"Ahem, okay, Allen, let's put aside the matter of your driver's license for now... Let's talk about serious things. This time I hope to cooperate with your Blizzard company..." Yi Feiyang took out Du
Reis prepared the documents early in the morning and handed them to Allen and said, "Our Fantasy Entertainment Company is very experienced in making movies, but making online games is a bit..."
The female secretary walked in and placed the coffee in front of them. Yi Feiyang and Allen chatted.
Although they only talked for a few minutes, both of them felt each other's sincerity.
You know, people are bound by fate.
Some people feel they hate each other as soon as they meet.
On the contrary, there are some people who feel like old friends as soon as they meet.
Yi Feiyang and Allen are such people, they hit it off immediately.
"To be honest, my dear Mr. Yi, the reason why I chose to cooperate with you is mainly because our company's "Diablo 3" is difficult to produce and has some insufficient funds. Therefore, I hope to use your strength to develop "The Hunger Games" first.
Completed capital accumulation..." Talking about the excitement, Allen did not shy away from telling Yi Feiyang about the company's situation.
Yi Feiyang was a super fan of "Darkness" in his previous life. When he heard what Allen said, he said: "It doesn't matter. You can develop the two games together, and I will provide the funds!"
As soon as Yi Feiyang said these words, it was too late for Dures to stop him. You must know that the funds required to develop a game are huge, and if the developed game is not popular, it will be even more fatal.
.
Allen didn't expect Yi Feiyang to be so warm-hearted and almost jumped for joy, "God, did I hear it wrong? Is this true?"
Yi Feiyang ignored Dures's wink at him and said with a smile: "Of course, man, I will never lie to you!"
Dures was speechless and sighed helplessly behind Yi Feiyang. When did this boss become so impulsive?!
Alan Adham is obviously not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others, so he said: "If this is really the case, then Yi, you will be a shareholder! Yes, our game company really needs funds
Investment, but we can’t let you invest so much money in vain, so our company welcomes you to join!”
This time it was Yi Feiyang's turn to be a little stunned. In fact, from the beginning he only agreed to help because he liked the game "Darkness", but now Allen has invited himself to join. Is this considered inviting a wolf into the house?!
It seems that I have never thought about entering the gaming industry.
Yi Feiyang was still in a daze here. Dures stabbed him a few times behind him. Seeing that he was still in a daze, he couldn't wait to replace Yi Feiyang and said: "That's the best. Yes, thank God for making our relationship go further!~"
Nonsense! Although Dures is worried about Blizzard's development of new games, the company's achievements in the gaming industry are obvious to all. If Fantasy Entertainment can really invest in Blizzard, it may even be able to control the company in the future...
What is entertainment?
Entertainment includes movies, TV, music, and of course online games!
Dures is ambitious, his ambition is no less than that of Yi Feiyang, and even stronger than Yi Feiyang in some aspects, so he will never let Dream Entertainment give up this rare opportunity!
When Yi Feiyang came back to his senses, Alan Adhan had extended his hand in a friendly manner, "Then congratulate us in advance on our happy cooperation!"
Looking at the other party's sincere smile, Yi Feiyang suddenly felt like a speculator, but he still held Allen's hand. From that moment on, the "entertainment" in Fantasy Entertainment added another online game.
; And only Yi Feiyang knows how powerful Blizzard will be in the gaming industry around the world in the future!
When he thought that he would become a powerful witness and founder of this company, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but feel happy, and even the trace of guilt of "deceiving honest people" disappeared.
