Chapter 769 Party-Time(1/2)
In front of Roger, Gary Bell did not change his attitude because of the gap in wealth and status between the two parties.
Instead, they were like the most normal old friends, joking with each other from time to time.
For a rock band lead singer like Gary Bell who has been famous for many years and has entered the end of his "career", he has no pursuit in music.
[Metal Monkey] The band has not released a "real" new album for several years. The most recent album was three years ago. It carefully selected the band's past classic works and remade it into a greatest hits album.
.
Even so, this greatest hits album still brought Metal Monkeys hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue within three years.
In addition to starting a tour every one or two years, occasionally participating in some commercial activities, etc., at least for the members of the Metal Monkeys band, it is enough to maintain a relatively comfortable "later life".
As the saying goes, if you don't have desires, you will be strong. Without too many pursuits, Roger's halo will naturally not put any pressure on Gary Bell.
In the eyes of the latter, Roger and the others are just old friends who have known each other for more than ten years, nothing more.
The situation of band [A] is similar. They are bands of the same generation as [Metal Monkeys], and they both became famous in the 1980s when metal music was booming.
Comparing it purely from the perspective of "age", the band [Darkness], which was founded in the late 1990s, is like a child.
However, becoming famous late does not mean that your achievements are low.
Among several bands, [Darkness] is the only one to break through the threshold of Super A and become a superstar in the pop music world.
Both [Metal Monkey] and [A] Band can be considered first-line stars only through long-term accumulation.
The gap between the two is huge, especially in the entertainment industry, an extremely realistic industry, the gap between status is even more obvious.
But the gap in status does not affect the relationship between the several bands.
For these two old friends who have "no desires and no demands", Roger will not urge them. At most, he will ask [Quantum Entertainment] to give some preferential treatment in terms of share ratio and resource tilt, but that's it.
.
As for whether [Metal Monkey] and [A] Band will work hard to climb up, or whether they will be content with the status quo and just occasionally perform tours to make money, Roger will not interfere at all. This is everyone else's choice.
After chatting with some old friends for a while, drinking a few bottles of beer, it was getting late, and the party atmosphere gradually entered a climax.
"That's it for reminiscing, now it's time for fun."
Roger pointed to the small building on the side and said: "There are many rooms there, you can 'use' them at will. If you like to 'play wild', the grove over there is a good choice, but I don't recommend that you go there in the winter."
Do this.”
After joking for a while, Roger raised his glass and said loudly: "Enjoy the party!"
"cheers!"
"Party-Time!"
A group of people raised their glasses together, drank all the beer in the glass, and then dispersed to look for their "prey."
A party is never just a party.
Anyone who attends a party knows this.
Except for a few extreme introverts, or the "newcomers" attending the party for the first time, no one will stay with friends all the time, but will mix with "strangers" as much as possible.
Although the party had just started, some impatient men and women had already sneaked into a corner where no one was.
And more people like to find one or a few people for a more passionate "second half" after enjoying the excitement of the party.
Music, alcohol, drugs, sex...
This is a theme that will never be lacking in most parties in the rock music circle, or in Western society as a whole.
The winter in Los Angeles does not seem cold. Even outdoors, stimulated by alcohol, the party atmosphere is still feverish.
And the indoor part is even more so.
Because it was during a "special period", in order to prevent the situation at the party from being leaked, Roger did not find a bunch of "Party-Girls" or "Groupies" at this party like the common parties in the industry.
To top up the numbers, I only invited relatively familiar people.
Of course, this "familiarity" is only relative.
If you really only invite acquaintances, there won’t be enough people and the party won’t be lively at all.
Many people who appeared at the party were actually just "acquaintances", or even "acquaintances" through several layers of relationships.
For example, friends of friends, friends of friends of friends...
However, at least it is much safer than asking a party company to arrange a bunch of "Party-Girls", or spreading the news and finding a group of Groupies.
The latter can easily be bribed by [Quantum Entertainment]'s competitors, News Corporation, or people from Vivendi Group. They don't even need to give too many benefits. A small amount of US dollars is enough for people to take risks.
Bring the pinhole camera to the party.
But for the celebrities in this circle, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars are simply not enough to impress them.
In addition, even if someone is tempted by money, they must carefully consider whether it is worth offending [Quantum Entertainment] for this little money.
After all, they are all in this circle. Even if they are not signed under [Quantum Entertainment], when an industry giant wants to pin down a small star, there is no question whether it can be done. The difference is just the effort.
How much does it cost?
"Hey, don't think about working during party time, just enjoy it!"
Anne's voice woke up the distracted Roger. Before he could recover, Roger found that he was being dragged by Anne to a corner of the party.
Like any party Anne attended in the past, wherever Anne was there, there were always hot, young and beautiful beauties.
Regarding Anne's hobby, Roger said...
Emmm...well done!
According to the original plan, there were no seats arranged in this corner near the window, but at this time, a small round table was placed here, with four chairs surrounding the table.
There are four chairs, but only two people are sitting there.
Two young-looking girls, one has blond hair like a waterfall, and the other has black hair and blue eyes. However, what they have in common is that they both have baby faces and "turbulent waves" on their chests.
”.
The lights in the room were very dim. Roger looked around for a few times and did not recognize the origins of the two people. He only thought that the black-haired girl looked familiar.
"Girls, this is the star of the party that you have been obsessed with, I brought him here!"
Annie pulled Annie to sit down opposite the two girls, teasing them pointedly.
After teasing Roger a few words, Anne introduced to Roger: "These are Amanda and Alessandro, friends brought by Sofia, both Hollywood actors."
"Amanda Seyfried, a small actor who has appeared in a few moderately successful movies."
The blond girl raised her glass and gestured to Roger.
"Alessandro Daddario, a New Yorker and an actor."
The other girl also introduced herself.
When Anne introduced the two of them, she didn't say her full name, and Roger couldn't remember it yet.
As soon as the two men said their full names, Roger immediately had a clear impression of their identities.
The two girls are not particularly famous among actresses born in the 1980s in Hollywood, but they both have stable opportunities to appear.
In terms of pure fame, Amanda Seyfried is more famous and can be regarded as a more successful "vase".
In fact, in Hollywood, the vast majority, more than 80%, of female actors, the easiest position to succeed in is the "vase role".
But there are differences between vases and vases. Some people can only be vases in specific types of movies, such as Anne Hathaway, while others have become cosmic vases with one or two masterpieces, such as Meghan.
-Fox.
And Amanda Seyfried is that kind of "all-round vase" who is not well-known, but can control many fields, whether it is youth comedy, horror film, science fiction film, or other types of movies, as long as it is a vase
Amanda Seyfried can handle any type of role with ease.
Amanda Seyfried has starred in many movies that have achieved good box office results, from the early school comedy "Mean Girls" to the later horror film "Jennifer's Body" and the science fiction film "Time Plan"
"The Game" to the vulgar comedy movie "Teddy Bear" and so on. Compared with the cost, the commercial performance of this series of movies is quite good.
But what's interesting is that although the movies have achieved good results, Amanda Seyfried has never become popular.
Moreover, this kind of actor who is "famous in movies but not in people" is an actor that most of the crew likes.
Because the person is not popular, the pay is usually low, at least from a cost-effective perspective, it is very cost-effective.
Most of the movies he starred in are relatively popular, which means that the risk of using it is not high.
Of course, with Roger's limited knowledge of the film industry, he could only think of this.
In fact, at this time, what Roger was more concerned about was not the commercial value of Amanda Seyfried, but the pair of "ready to come out"... cough cough cough.
Amanda Seyfried's "size" is already very large, but the other girl, Alessandro Daddario, is even bigger.
It also made Roger's impression even more profound.
This impression is of course the impression of the movie she starred in.
Alessandro Daddario's achievements as an actor are completely incomparable to Amanda Seyfried, but in the years before Roger came to this world, Alessandro Daddario
- Daddario starred in a disaster movie that "shocked the world".
