Chapter 355 (1/2)

Simon's appearance in Madonna's solo concert on the evening of June 23 was less than 20 minutes, but he provided enough news material for countless media to hype for a whole week.

The flame guitar at the beginning is undoubtedly the target that most fans pay attention to.

Before the concert ended that night, many people began to inquire about the origin of Simon's guitar.

The Los Angeles Times obtained the detailed information of the flame guitar for the first time, and interviewed the members of the guitar production team. The exposed information deterred most keen guitar lovers.

Not to mention the cost of more than 100000 US dollars and westero's special application for design patent, even if it's really copied, it's just the weight of the guitar itself, which can't be played by ordinary people.

You know, the flaming guitar, which seemed to be playing freely in Simon's hands that night, was a lot bigger than ordinary guitars because of the installation of all metal flamethrower system, but its weight was more than 20 kg, while ordinary guitars rarely exceeded 5 kg.

Most people, of course, can lift 20 kilograms.

However, for a musical instrument with a weight of more than 20 kg, few guitarists are able to play with this kind of pressure even if they have shoulder straps hanging on them.

Unless you're sitting.

However, few people should have the face to sit down and play with a domineering double headed flame guitar like a delicate wooden guitar.

It's a shame to think about it.

Of course, even if there are such and such obstacles, it still can not stop many people's yearning for flame guitar.

After that, there were a lot of people who wanted to buy the guitar from Simon through various channels. The highest price even reached $3 million, but Simon refused. Janet had planned to collect the guitar in their upcoming domay point villa.

Because of flame guitar, some media can't help but pay attention to Simon's strong personal force value again. At the beginning of this year, ten consecutive Ko opponent videos in Melbourne boxing ring were once again taken out to hype.

The flame guitar is naturally out of reach for most people.

However, the guitar single ”fire” went on sale the following Monday and sold more than 1 million copies in just five days.

Madonna plans to release the other two new songs ”Hong up” and ”ghost town” in her next album. Therefore, if fans want to collect them in advance, they can only look forward to the recent release of the concert videos.

Of course, there must be a large number of people who directly recorded the video of the concert that night with their home video recorder.

In addition to Madonna's team, the biggest beneficiary of the concert is undoubtedly ABC, which bought the live rights of the concert. The $6 million offer brought ABC an average of 36 million and a maximum of 43 million terrorist viewers.

This kind of audience data has been comparable to the Oscar ceremony.

However, at the Oscars, the price of six million dollars, that is not even to think about.

Although the harvest is huge, everyone knows that there is too much non replicability in this concert.

In order to ensure the box office of the concert itself, most of the singers will not be allowed to live on TV. After all, this may make a lot of money in the short term, but it will hurt the enthusiasm of fans to watch.

Madonna's team naturally understood this truth. This time, it took the form of live broadcast, more out of the need of publicity.

Now, the effect is far more than expected.

After that night's concert, although westrow won't participate in the next few days, Madonna's remaining concerts in North America and Europe sold out in the next few days.

There is no lack of controversy in the hot media discussion.

When Simon finally appeared on the stage, the little girl named Jennifer was suspected by many media to be a pre arranged nursery.

As for the reason.

Many media felt that the scene at that time was too perfect.

A pretty girl as delicate as a doll.

Westero was just right to placate.

And, finally, Elton John's ”rocket man.”.

In particular, the last song ”rocket man” has become a bug criticized by many skeptics.

For commercial concerts, any song, not to mention cover, even the singer's original song, sometimes needs special authorization.

If Simon westrow sings this song without the prior authorization of Elton John and Rocketman, he will be prosecuted for infringement.

However, the subsequent news broke the doubts of the media one by one.

The whole thing was an accident.

The 17-year-old girl from Florida named Jennifer Bree, apart from being Simon's crazy fan, had never had any actual sexual intercourse with Simon before. It was the first time she met Simon herself that night.As for ”rocket man.”.

Simon did.

It's just that Madonna's team contacted Elton John and the record company that owns the rights to rocket man for the first time.

Knowing the situation at that time, they paid another copyright fee, and all parties expressed their understanding.

In an interview with the media, Elton John also praised Simon's singing at that time, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate.

Moreover, when ”rocket man”, an old song released in 1972, followed ”fire” to the second best-selling single in the following week, the song's copyright company was only overjoyed.

Because Simon took Jennifer berry backstage after singing ”rocket man”, the little girl also became the focus of media attention, and the information that should be exposed and not be exposed was mined by the media.

Jennifer Bree is from Miami, Florida. She comes from a middle-class family. Her father is a food company employee, her mother is a nurse, and she has a brother and a sister. Girl from ”Lola Run” began to infatuate with Simon, through odd jobs saved a few years of money, all spent on a concert ticket that night.

He took the train from Miami to New York alone and waited outside Brenda berry stadium all day. His pocket was empty and he didn't even have a foothold after the concert.

Simon wanted to send the girl off the stage after singing that night. He only felt that the little girl had some abnormal mental state and found that she was alone, so he took her backstage. Learned about the girl's situation, also helped her arrange a hotel and return to Miami flight.

That's all.

After doing what he thought he should do and sending a single girl home safely, Simon stopped paying attention to it.
