After the game, Duca took a few days to rest, went shopping and watched movies with Monica, and also paid attention to the release status of Shania's single.

After he handed over the single to the promotion company, the promotion work for "Yellow" also started one after another.

At the beginning, it was promoted and charted on several radio stations in Los Angeles and New York. There was a new song recommendation column on the Los Angeles music radio station. Every week the host would recommend some good quality songs in the program based on personal preferences.

If the audience thinks it is good, they can request it on the radio station. The more times it is requested, it means the quality is very good.

In addition to music channels, there are also traffic, sports, fashion and other radio stations, as well as TV music channels.

Within half a month, "Yellow" appeared on six radio programs and two TV music programs, and the response was very good.

It was requested 152 times by fans in two weeks and played hundreds of times on the radio.

Due to the high quality of the songs and Shania's singing ability, several review articles appeared in music magazines such as "Rolling Stone". "Rolling Stone" commented that Shania is a very powerful newcomer and also this year's

One of the most anticipated new singers.

In the third week of promotion, the album's imprinting and compression work was completed, and the first batch of 2,000 copies appeared in more than 40 record stores in Los Angeles.

Sales were average in the first week, with just over 800 copies sold, including many acquaintances.

In the third week, Shania received an invitation to perform.

There will be a celebrity charity concert at the Getty Center in Los Angeles next week. The main performers are Aerosmith, the Velvet Underground, country music king singer John Denver, and the popular singer Whitney Houston, who won the Grammy Award.

Mariah Carey, etc., all are top singers and bands, and there is only one newcomer, Shania.

This arrangement seems unreliable at first glance, and the person who made this unreliable arrangement is Andrew.

Andrew said that he had spent a lot of time and money to get this thing done, and he also said that if Shania didn't go, he would not refund the money anyway.

Duca, Shania and Tom Collins discussed behind closed doors and analyzed the pros and cons.

There are many good things. This is a celebrity concert, and it will be broadcast on television. If you perform well, you can get a lot of attention.

There are also many bad aspects. Shania is a new singer and has no previous experience of performing in large-scale concerts. She is under a lot of pressure to compete with popular stars on the same stage. If she does not perform well, she will receive a lot of doubts.

To go or not to go, Duka decided to put the choice in Shania's hands. It didn't matter whether she went or not. Shania only released songs. There will be many opportunities in the future.

Shania thought about it for a day and decided to give it a try.

After making the decision, Tom Collins proposed to equip Shania with an accompaniment band, including guitar, saxophone, drummer, chorus, etc., firstly, to increase the effect of the stage performance, and secondly, to reduce Shania's pressure.

Duca raised his hand in favor and offered to pay for the performance.

Tom Collins found some old friends and asked them to collaborate with Shania. Several of them had seen Shania's singing style and gladly accepted the invitation.

Then rehearsals began under the guidance of Tom Collins.

During this period, Duca was not idle. He found Andrew and got two hundred concert tickets from him, and distributed benefits to everyone he knew, company employees, and old customers of the bar.

Invite them to watch the concert live and be a cheerleader for Shania.

At the same time, he also prepared a lot of support items, including temporary customized support hats, light signs with Shania's name, and photos of Shania.

"Uh, are you sure?"

Quentin looked at Shania's artistic photo and said, "You want me to take this to the scene to cheer Shania on? Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, don't you also like Shania's songs? Shouldn't you go to the scene to cheer her on?"

Duca smiled.

Quentin frowned, "But I'm a director, a famous director. Do you think it's appropriate for me to hold up a photo and dangle it in the audience? If a TV camera slaps it in the face, do I still want to face it?"

"Well... not many people will recognize you if you're wearing a hat."

"Nonsense, what should I do if I am recognized? I am a six-foot-tall man doing this kind of thing at a concert. What will I do if I become famous and someone recognizes me in a few years? No, let's change."

Quentin looked at the light sign in his hand, and finally chose to exchange it with Tim Roth, and the photo turned into a glow stick.

"Well, I'm a star too."

Tim Roth scratched his hair.

"I know you are a star, but stars are also people, and they also have their favorite singers. Now that you are a fan of Shania, you should forget your true identity and become a real fan."

Quentin grinned and patted Tim on the shoulder.

"em~Okay!"

Tim Roth shrugged nonchalantly.

But Tim Roth was not tall enough. When he arrived at the concert, the photo was handed into the hands of the ugly Javier. The guy held the photo and jumped up and down at the concert. He was so playful that he was caught by the camera.

Many times.

The concert that day was an unprecedented event, with more than 50,000 spectators and a total of 22 live performers and bands.

Shania came on twelfth, behind Mariah Carey.

After Mariah Carey finished singing "Vision Of Love", Shania led the band onto the stage.

"Xenia! Xenia!

"

Javier in the front row immediately shouted loudly, his voice was particularly loud.

People and cameras around him all turned around.

"What a shame!"

Keanu Reeves, who was standing nearby, immediately covered his forehead to avoid being caught by the camera.

Next to them, Duka and Ruifan stood motionless holding light signs.

"Aren't you embarrassed?"

Keanu asked.

"do not think so."

Rui Fan said calmly.

"Keanu, don't carry so much idol baggage. Remember, in this kind of situation, as long as you don't embarrass yourself, others will be embarrassed."

Duca shrugged.

"Oh, is this the secret to your shamelessness?"

Keanu smiled.

Duka was too lazy to pay attention to him and waved the light sign.

On the stage, Shania saw the crowds of people below and felt a little nervous.

But when I saw Duka standing in the front row with more than 200 fans, and the band members behind him who cooperated well, I immediately felt less nervous.

She held her guitar, faced the microphone, and sang a live version of "Yellow" in front of more than 50,000 people.

She sang very well and sounded better than in the recording studio. She was also very beautiful, tall and very photogenic. When her image was projected on the big screen, the audience couldn't help but look at her.

, listening to her singing.

At the end of her performance, there were bursts of warm applause and cheers, not much worse than Mariah Carey.

Shania only sang one song on stage, but the performance was surprisingly good.

The next day, singer Shania Twain's name appeared in many media outlets, showing enough attention to this powerful new singer.

The sales of that single also skyrocketed, with 5,200 copies sold in two days on the fourth weekend. Then record stores in Los Angeles and other cities placed orders for it.

Duca continued to place an order with Apollo Masters record factory, increasing the order from 10,000 copies to 100,000 copies. This was a bit risky, but it was worth a try.

After the concert, Shania became famous in the music circle and attracted the attention of the five major record companies. Three record managers came to contact her and proposed signing conditions.

BMG Records, one of the five major record companies, offered the highest price, a signing bonus of 500,000, a 10% share of new singers, and other preferential terms. It wanted to sign Shania and create her first album.

But Shania is still considering it.
