THE BEY UPDATE: The Beyoncé sneak attack on iTunes has become the story of the industry and possibly a game-changing new strategy to sell records. The early release as an iTunes exclusive, with no tracks for sale and no Spotify to bastardize sales, the "visual album" has sold approximately 500k album downloads in its first 48 hours, with no end in sight and will easily debut #1. What was looking like a pretty dull Christmas release season has been hit by a bolt of lightning. The surprise release has been heralded by social media everywhere and covered by every major television news network. She has created her own publicity and the project reached its audience through word of mouth--the most powerful of all sales tools. Stay tuned for continuous updates. Kudos to Team Columbia and Team Beyoncé on what may end up being the most talked about event of 2013. (12/14p) Source HDD

Histoire de voir un peu ce qui est en train de se passer je vous poste les messages laissés aujourd'hui par l'insider qui était le seul informé de tout ce qui est en train d'arriver.

 

 

Funniest thing happened earlier today. Columbia/Sony are so pressed for credit on the Avalanche, they presented ideas on how to further market the album. The executive team from Rob to SONY executives all went to work and had a top level meeting today. TV Shows, radio promo and other expensive media buy ideas were suggested, including stupid NYE show.

From Chicago, they got a message. Stand down, Parkwood is fully capable and those brilliant ideas should go to other acts on the roster.

Since the whole team is happy and drunk, my last tea until 2014.

Rapino deal which is so lucrative and for 5 years ( 3 tours) was pretty much a go, with Jay on board.

AEG just did the unthinkable. Yesterday, they presented an offer that says LN + 20%.

So in layman terms, it means whatever Rapino offers, AEG will add 20%.

Gangster wife for real.!

 

Je ne me sens pas trop de faire une traduction mais pour comprendre la seconde citation, Michael Rapino est le DG de Live Nation et AEG une autre société de promotion qui propose à Bey 20% de plus pour tout ce que pourrait lui proposer LN

Beyonce's Video Director Didn't Know The Album Was Coming, Either

 

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1719087/beyonce-director-didnt-know-album-was-coming.jhtml

 

Francesco Carrozzini may have directed one of the most emotional videos on Beyoncé's new self-titled record, but when Beyoncé droppedunexpectedly early Friday morning (December 13), he was just as surprised as the rest of us poor schlubs.

"Very surprising day! " Carrozzini told MTV News. "I found out because someone told me, 'Oh, sh--, you did a Beyoncé video.' I was like, 'Yes... How do you know?' And he was like, 'Well, it's on iTunes.' And I was like, 'Oh, cool.'"

The photographer/director shot the music video for heart-wrenching jam "Jealous" about three weeks ago in New York City, after receiving a call from Bey's camp a few days prior.

"Well, you know, when you work with Beyoncé...there's always kind of a secretness to everything you do, because, of course, she's such a star," he said. "Sometimes expectation is what really ruins things for people. That's what's proved by the way she released this video — how everyone is talking about it."

The video was a directorial collaboration between Beyoncé, Carrozzini and former Flaunt creative director Todd Tourso, who also worked on other tracks and videos on the record.

"It's her storyline," Carrozzini said of the process. "It's not the traditional way I would do a video — how I did for A$AP or for other artists where you just come up with an idea and present it to the artist." The director is relatively new to the music video game, having directed A$AP Rocky's "Phoenix" video as well as Banks' "Waiting Game" in 2013.

"She had a very precise storyline in her head and it was written and filled with references — and so a big part of the creativity is her," he added.

It's no surprise that Bey would be so hands-on with the video for the song, which tells the tale of a neglectful — and possibly cheating — lover.

The video picks up where the opulent (and sexxxy) "Partition" leaves off, with Bey sitting across from an unseen lover at a breakfast table, her coy glances ignored as he reads his paper. After wandering through an empty, Versailles-esque mansion for a bit — and waiting for her absentee lover, who she "cooked this meal for you naked" — Bey turns into her saucy alter ego, 'Yonce, and hits up a bar, where she flirts and straddles a pinball machine.

She's unable to distract herself for long, though, and she walks out into a cold, gray city street — only to be met by a sea of camera phones and hungry, prying fans.

According to Carrozzini, the fans' reactions in the video are wholly genuine, as Bey basically got out of a car on St. Marks in New York and the crew started rolling and filming passersby. "We really shot it — some people in the video did not know we were filming," he said.

"I think the real idea of the video is in a moment like that — in a private moment like that, she can never be by herself," Carrozzini said. "This song is not about someone who feels those emotions, it's about Beyoncé feeling those emotions. It's personal to her. It's her that cannot be by herself no matter where she goes or what she does, because she's who she is."

Naturally, then, the shoot was a very emotional experience for Beyoncé. "But it always is with her, really," the director said, having shot photos of Bey for outlets like Vogue. "There were some pictures that ended up in the magazine where she's crying," he said. "It's always been very much about emotions with her — not only about image."

Despite the emotional turmoil of the video, it does — in some ways — end on a hopeful note. After wandering through the amateur paparazzi gauntlet, Bey runs into her lover, whose face we never see, and flings herself into his arms.

When asked if the actor was intended to portray a specific person in Beyoncé's life, Carrozzini laughed. "She has [an idea], I'm sure," he said, coyly.

Well, he said he was good at keeping secrets.

Et les déclarations du réalisateur de Yoncé : http://www.buzzfeed.com/azafar/yonce-video-director-ricky-saiz

Cet article est vraiment intéressant à lire mais trop long pour le poster directement. Juste un extrait qui parle de l'idée derrière le clip

The concept of the video came from Beyoncé, who wanted to tap models Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman, and Joan Smalls for a “contemporary, street version” of George Michael’s “Freedom,” which featured ’90s supermodels Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, and Tatjana Patitz.
