……
Oh my God, I'm losing my mind.
Desperately chasing after your figure.
do not leave Me
I can feel the watch in your heart
……
When the lyrics sounded, Cindy Crawford stepped onto the runway stepping on the rhythm, and the audience who had been fully mobilized applauded unanimously.
Referring to the angel outfit of the opening of the 2006 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in memory, Cindy Crawford's glamorous appearance reveals a bit of pride and charm, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Stunning!
This is the first word that pops up in many people's minds.
The other angels who appeared immediately after also gave the audience a strong sense of pleasing to the eye.
In this big show, not only the details of the stage, lighting, and music, but also the most important angel costumes, each piece has been discussed repeatedly and handmade by professional costumers.It can be said that the angel costumes of the five themes can basically reach the level of design and production at the level of art.
Not to mention most of the audience who were quickly attracted to the scene, even for professional fashion media professionals, the design of the angel outfit is full of many remarkable things.
Moreover, those who are interested can also find that the core of the show's promotion, Victoria's Secret brand underwear, has not been marginalized.
The sexy lingerie under the angel dress is beyond most styles of this era, and even reveals the ambition of the Victoria's Secret brand to subvert the shape of women's underwear.
The first theme, a performance of about 5 minutes, almost passed in the blink of an eye in the fiery atmosphere of the scene.
Thousands of spectators in the hall saw Linda Evangeline Star, who was the last one to close the show, disappear at the backstage exit, and they all felt unfinished.
Not only that, most of the media people who participated in this big show subconsciously wanted to record their feelings in just a few minutes after the first topic ended.
In the short 5-minute catwalk, whether it is the lighting and music stage, or the modeling of angel costumes and underwear design, and even the Victoria's Secret Angels who participated in the catwalk, they are all worthy of careful comments.
All kinds of quick flashes of inspiration, if they cannot be recorded immediately, they may not be able to gather together later.
In the traditional fashion show, the media people holding notepads in the audience are often just putting on a show.
This time, due to the consideration of the on-site shooting effect, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show team reminded the participating media personnel in advance not to carry notepads, but to simply watch the show.If you have any questions, the team will answer them after the big show, and also provide all the materials needed by the media.
Therefore, when I don't want to write, I often need to bring a pen and paper.
This time I desperately want to write something, but I can't write. This feeling of scratching my heart and lungs is simply a kind of torture.
Fortunately, there was a waiting time of about 5 minutes between the two topics, so some people simply got up and either looked for paper and pens to record, or re-instructed the photographers of their own media who were in charge of entering the venue to take pictures.
After a brief interval, the second theme comes quickly.
Love in heaven.
When the song "Paradise" by the NLSN group sounded, a reporter from the "Rolling Stone" magazine felt that he was going crazy.
Splurge!
What a waste!
The song "Angels" just now is enough to support a hit record.
Now, another new song.
The standard is not bad at all, but the style is completely different.
According to industry practice, most singers often only prepare one or two outstanding title songs for an album, and most of the others are often just make up.This is also the reason why the record giants opposed the split sale of record singles in the later digital age.
Once dismantled, most of the songs on many albums were lost.
Now, however, Simon Westeros has thrown out top-notch singles that are enough to support a hit album, just to accompany a fashion show.
Isn't this a splurge or what? !
At first, I still had some fantasies, thinking that "Angels" and "Paradise" should be the best two, but when the third song "Blank Space" appeared, the "Rolling Stone" sitting in the audience Magazine reporter almost found someone to beat him up.
Of course, after the beating, I hugged my thigh and shouted 'God'.
Taylor Swift's classic single "Blank Space", which has transformed from country to pop, is naturally no different from the previous two.Not only that, for professional musicians, the arrangement and soundtrack skills contained in "Blank Space" are even better.
In the original time and space, "Blank Space" also appeared on the runway of the Victoria's Secret show, and the style and tune naturally matched the Victoria's Secret catwalk.
Chapter 510 Amazing (2) (Repair)
The theme of "Blank Space" is called 'Night Elf'.
As the name suggests, the hue is dominated by black.
The theme color and the rebellious Princess Huahua in the background music also complement each other.
After the third theme, Lisa Collins, who was sitting in the audience, immediately fell in love with the song when she heard the fourth song "Human", which turned into a soothing style again. The original singer of "Human" is Christina Perri. The background of this song is actually a story about a robot who falls in love with a human being and is willing to give everything.
Compared with remembering that this song was used as the BGM of video clips of sports stars, Simon prefers the meaning of the song itself.
In line with the content of the song, the fourth theme is called 'Steampunk'.
The perfect combination of the feminine Victoria's Secret Angel and the hardcore mechanical elements, against the backdrop of the background music, once again gave the audience a wonderful visual feast.
The last theme, 'Pink Love', the background music is a rap-style song, and it is also the only male voice song among the five background music. It is called "Sexy Back", and the original singer of the song is Justin Timberlake.
On the original timeline, "Sexy Back" was the opening of Victoria's Secret's 2006 show. This time, Simon used this song as the closing music, and the theme style was also modified. 'Pink Love' naturally means all kinds of colorful colors.
When the five major themes of 'Psychedelic Angel', 'Love in Heaven', 'Night Elf', 'Steampunk' and 'Pink Love' were all over, in the lobby of Chandler Theater, an hour had passed without knowing it.
The Victoria's Secret angels began to take a curtain call, and the audience in the hall stood up and applauded. This kind of spontaneous affirmation of the big show made Michael Bay in the backstage control room breathe a sigh of relief.
For an hour, Michael Bay has been tense, afraid of what might happen.
Fortunately, everything went well.
The originally intended backup plan does not need to be taken out.
Of course, there are more important things to be busy next, the post-editing of the big show.
All in all, he only had five days.
This is comparable to the production rhythm of traditional TV dramas, but the requirements of the Victoria's Secret show must be much higher than that of TV dramas.
The curtain call in the hall lasted for more than five minutes.
When some spectators couldn't resist stepping forward, asking for autographs from the Victoria's Secret angels on the stage, and causing other spectators to follow suit, Michael Bay, who was worried that the situation would get out of control, quickly directed the staff to coordinate the angels to return to the backstage.
In the past, professional fashion shows could not get the same treatment as concert stars at this time.
The Victoria's Secret angels were very enthusiastic and patient when they saw someone asking for an autograph. Some girls were even reluctant when reminded by the staff.It was not until the people around them repeatedly urged that the girls turned around and returned to the backstage.
In the hall, the audience began to reluctantly leave after the Angel Legion disappeared.
Some of them had VIP invitations and rushed to the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills to attend the upcoming after-show party.
Backstage in the theater, the staff began to clean up and finish, and the Angel Legion had a final group photo session.
Seeing Simon, Janet and two other girls appearing in the background, Cindy Crawford, who was standing for a group photo, hesitated for a moment, walked over suddenly, nodded to Janet, and said to the young man in front of him: "Simon, do you want to take a photo with us?"
Many people around have noticed this.
Hearing Cindy's invitation, the others felt a sense of envy in their hearts.However, if anyone at the scene was qualified to take a photo with a full forty big goblins, it was probably only Simon Westeros.
However, Simon shook his head: "You guys shoot, I won't go there."
Cindy didn't give up, she just stepped forward and took Simon's arm carefully: "Come together, um, I think Jenny definitely doesn't mind, right?"
Finally, he looked at Janet.
Janet shook her head with a smile, and pushed the man beside her.
Simon still refused, saying: "Actually, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder."
Cindy was a little dazed, what does this have to do with obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Simon gestured to the Victoria's Secret Legion who had basically completed their positions, and explained: "If I stand in, it will look very uncoordinated, as if some strange guy has mixed in."
Cindy finally understood this time.
Reluctantly letting go of the man, he said, "This is really a pity."
Simon refused, and claimed that he was obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even if other people had this kind of thought, they did not ignorantly approach the Victoria's Secret Army.
After taking group photos, everyone started to rush to the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
The next day, the mainstream fashion media was almost full of news about the just-concluded Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
The information section of the Igret Portal also spent a lot of space on special reports, and a large number of beautiful photos of the [-] Victoria's Secret Angels' show were also released.
At the end of the big show, the appearance rate of the [-] Victoria's Secret angels in the media not only did not decrease, but rose again.
Information about the theme songs of the big show was also submitted frequently, and "Rolling Stone" magazine praised the five theme songs without hesitation as leading a new fashion trend.
Victoria's Secret officials have also begun to further promote the big show broadcast on the ABC TV network on November 11.
Amidst the intense attention and anticipation caused by the media hype, five days passed in a blink of an eye.
11 month 12 day.
The ABC television network gave this big show the most golden eight o'clock schedule.
At this time of year, the most-watched program was NBC's "Law & Order."
However, this time, according to the real-time monitoring of Nielsen and other ratings statistics agencies, near [-] o'clock in the evening, the ratings data of several major TV networks obviously began to tilt towards ABC.
By the time the title of Victoria's Secret Show appeared, the real-time viewership of ABC TV network had reached about 2360 million, which was higher than the highest viewership of about 2100 million in the new season of "Law and Consulting".
Not only that, but the 2360 million viewership is just the beginning.
The big show began with an aerial shot of Cindy Crawford's background commentary, directly facing the Dorothy Chandler Theater at the Los Angeles Music Center.
The camera kept zooming in, and then the busy backstage of the Victoria's Secret show.
The background sound has also been changed to a nervous headset command voice, and at the same time it is a close-up shot of Victoria's Secret Angels who are ready to go.
"Cindy Crawford, take your seat."
"This is Linda Evangelista."
"Claudia, where is Claudia?"
"Oh, my shoes."
"Also, Nadja."
"..."
"Get ready, get ready, the last 30 seconds."
"music."
On the TV screen, amidst the sound of "clicking" like a switch being pulled, everything stopped for an instant, and the camera immediately switched to the theater hall.
Immediately, the prelude to "Angels" sounded with flashing lights.
The camera starts to switch quickly.
The prelude of about 50 seconds was about to end, and a voice came from the headset again: "Go!"
Cindy Crawford enters.
Stunning.
And, applause.
Michael Bay's "Three-Axe" was brought into full play in just a few minutes of opening.
From the real-time ratings data feedback, we can see the traces of the mobilization of the audience's emotions.
When Cindy Crawford finally appeared, the number of viewers was already 2360 million at the beginning and quickly rose to 2610 million.
Even if the viewership data is fixed at this point, the TV broadcast of this big show will definitely become a classic.
However, in the 90s, the Internet had just risen, and cable TV had not reached its peak, and the entertainment life of Americans was far from as rich as it was later.
Therefore, this explosive and eclectic fashion show attracted a large number of viewers for a while.
Not only that, many viewers also reminded their relatives and friends to change channels by telephone or other means.
In Simon's memory, the live webcast of the 1998 Super Bowl Victoria's Secret Show directly caused the network to be paralyzed. This time, because it was broadcast on the ABC wireless network, although there will be no ratings paralysis, there are obvious signs of emptying the streets.
