Chapter 650 Focus
"This is NBC, and I'm Abby, your host for the red carpet event.

Just past was the famous rock poet Bob Dylan walking down the red carpet with his new girlfriend, a British comedian Sally Curran.

The next to walk the red carpet was rock star Avril Lavigne and her partner, the famous Hollywood director Gilbert Landrini Jr.

Host Abby's tone was visibly excited. This was the first time that such an influential Hollywood filmmaker appeared at the Grammy Awards.

So much so that even the Backstreet Boys who were walking before could not attract the attention of the red carpet audience, and everyone was looking forward to the appearance of little Gilbert.

Amid the cheers and screams of the audience, Abby reported loudly to the TV camera: "We can see that on both sides of the red carpet, there are not only fans of the singers, but also fans of the movies.

Many fans held posters of The Lord of the Rings and even The Matrix, looking forward to their king's appearance...

Oh! They’re coming out! Director Gilbert Jr. and Avril Lavigne are walking onto the Grammy red carpet from the guest waiting area…”

NBC also sent out a helicopter for this live broadcast, and the footage was taken from the helicopter. It can be seen that the Staples Center is brightly lit and star-studded.

And when Gilbert Jr. and Avril Lavigne walked onto the Grammy red carpet, the entire red carpet exploded instantly.

It was like a calm lake into which a huge rock was suddenly thrown, instantly creating huge splashes of water, which then spread out in all directions.

Avril Lavigne wore a little white dress today, with a strand of rose red scattered through her hair, adding a touch of playfulness.

In fact, Avril Lavigne originally planned to wear a black dress today, then put on heavy smoky makeup and have colorful hair.

But thinking that little Gilbert might not like it, she dressed a little more simply.

"This seems to be similar to any other red carpet event. There's even a band playing. Is this a medley of songs from this year's nominated albums?"

Gilbert Jr. and Avril Lavigne walked on the red carpet, waving to the audience on both sides and chatting.

"Do you usually listen to pop songs?" Avril Lavigne asked curiously.

"Of course. You may not believe it, but the songs I listen to the most are probably yours," replied Little Gilbert.

Avril Lavigne was delighted and held little Gilbert's arm even tighter.

Reporters on both sides of the red carpet shouted, "Hey, Director Gilbert, look here, look here..."

"Could you please pose in a loving pose?"

Seeing this, Avril Lavigne asked again: "Should we cooperate with them?"

"Do you want to cooperate with them?"

"Hey……"

Before Avril Lavigne could react, Gilbert Jr. pulled her to pose in the middle of the red carpet, stealing the film in an instant.

"I am here with you today, little punk princess." Little Gilbert said with a smile, holding the confused Avril Lavigne.

Her own unique red carpet moves made Avril Lavigne very happy and her smile became even sweeter.

After walking the red carpet and leaving your signature on the autograph wall, reporters will take photos and you will pose, and the red carpet ceremony is complete.

Abby, the host of the red carpet, stopped the two and said, "Excuse me for interrupting you, but could you please give me a brief interview?"

Little Gilbert smiled and agreed: "Of course..."

"Thank you," Abby asked, "Director Gilbert, this is your first time attending the Grammy Awards. Why did you attend the Grammys? What are your feelings?"

Little Gilbert looked at Avril Lavigne, who was holding his arm and smiling, and smiled, "Of course it was Vivian's invitation.

That day, she suddenly called and said she was still short of a male companion and asked me if I had time. As you know, I am her fan, so I agreed to the invitation. The atmosphere at the Grammys was great, there were so many great singers, bands and groups, and everyone was very enthusiastic, I was very happy. "

Abby's next question was for Avril Lavigne, but the question was still about Gilbert Jr.

"Excuse me, Miss Lavigne, why did you decide to invite Director Gilbert Jr. to attend the Grammy Awards? You know, he makes movies."

Avril Lavigne said with a bit of excitement: “I think music and movies are common, they are both art forms, so Gilbert Jr. is not an outsider.

Personally, I am a fan of Gilbert Jr. and I really enjoy watching his movies. I have also written songs for his movies.

This time I had this opportunity, so I invited him to attend the Grammy Awards ceremony. I didn’t expect him to agree, which made me excited for a long time. "

At this time, in the online chat group watching the Grammy live broadcast, Avril Lavigne's fans and Gilbert's fans were all discussing their own things.

Although online videos have begun to appear these days and are developing rapidly, the conditions for online live broadcasting are not yet mature, so we can only watch live broadcasts on TV.

But according to future plans, Xigua Video will launch the live broadcast mode and the real-time barrage interactive mode to bring the live broadcast closer to the audience.

There is no doubt that the live broadcast model will revolutionize people’s entertainment mode, and it is also an opportunity.

The barrage has been implemented on Xigua Video. When viewers click on a Xigua video, they will suddenly find that there are not only comments in the comment section below, but also previous messages from viewers floating in the video.

It is precisely relying on the killer move of barrage that Xigua Video has successfully become the dominant player in the market share of the newly emerging video websites.

Of course, other video websites followed suit and soon came up with the barrage mode, and online video websites entered the barrage video era.

Of course, the means of monetization for video websites today are limited, and most of the revenue comes from paid and advertising. But this income is not enough to turn Xigua Video into a profitable website. If it wants to make a profit, it has to think of other tricks.

Therefore, live broadcasting and self-produced drama business will be the focus of Xigua Video in the next stage, and there will be great potential if they are done well.

But the focus today is not this, but the Grammy Awards ceremony.

In the Avril Lavigne fan chat group, a fan watched the live broadcast and suddenly posted: "I think Vivian likes little Gilbert."

"what?"

"???"

"Dude, that joke isn't funny."

"It's true. If you don't believe me, just look at Vivian's eyes. She's almost tearing up."

"That's good. The level of chaos in the pop music world is no worse than that in Hollywood. With a big shot like Gilbert protecting her, Vivian will suffer less."

However, in the chat group of Gilbert Jr.'s fans, the atmosphere was quite different.

“I think they’re a good match!”

"It's over. It looks like Gilbert Jr.'s evil clutches have spread to the pop music world. The rock diva is also going to fall into his hands."

"I think it's great. When will Taylor join in?"

"Taylor Swift should first deal with her busload of ex-boyfriends!"

"It's okay to have a girlfriend, just don't forget to make the movie."

"Yeah man, you're right."

After the brief visit, Gilbert Jr. and Avril Lavigne went into the VIP lounge to rest.
