Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 411 The train sails towards the heavens and the dream rests in peace in the sky

Just as the leaders were looking forward to the future, the performance of "Do You Want to Dance" was coming to an end.

Huang Wei in the audience was also in agitated mood. She has been living on her laurels these years. She is not as good as her predecessors, but she definitely has a lot more than her peers.

But people of her generation have no concept of lying flat in their minds. Moreover, as a single mother with a daughter who has just entered college, she still has reasons and motivation to continue fighting.

This year, with the help of a song by Bian Lang, she began to have the opportunity to become famous. Then she collaborated with the New Pants Band on an album, "Don't Ask Me What Is Disco", which was also considered a success, completely kicking off the second spring of her career.

My daughter also started working in Bian Lang’s comic studio while in college.

Therefore, her gratitude to Bian Lang was no less than that of any artist under the Rolling Stones, so she started to twist with the people in the circle right there.

Wearing a sequin skirt and an afro, she is quite eye-catching even among this crowd of artists. In addition, there are two special camera positions in their auditorium for filming. This shot was shot by the photographer and director. The joint efforts appeared in the live broadcast.

That's okay if she is alone. As soon as the artists around them appeared, netizens were completely excited: "Oh! This audience's lineup can compete with some satellite TV shows!"

As for Lanmei International, with the help of the broadcast of the concert, they achieved the feat of exceeding 1% in ratings for the second time since the establishment of the station. The last time it was the opening ceremony of the 99 World Horticultural Exposition!

After singing "Do You Want to Dance", there was another song for the new pants according to the plan, but Bian Lang was not in a hurry to continue, but picked up the bag of Xibiqi and took another sip, strengthening the planting of his own beer advertisement. enter.

Lao Pan invited these over, and they were all holding their heads upright before arriving. But when they arrived at the scene and saw the battle, one word came to mind: "Submit!"

Amid the well-meaning cheers from the fans, Bian Lang took off the microphone and started chatting with the fans. This is his first New Year's Eve since time travel, and the significance of the node is self-evident. Even if Niu Bo didn't remind him before, he still wanted to chat with everyone.

Similarly, I believe that before the Rolling Stones became popular, there were many fans here who had not listened to rock music for many years. They all raised their hands to show me! "Bian Lang said as he walked around the stage, and finally walked to the area where the people in the audience were and stopped without hesitation.

Many people criticized the music festival for being unsightly. There were only a few bands playing over and over, and there were only a few songs, with no innovation at all. The ticket prices kept rising, and the front of the stands was set up as VIP, which cost an extra 200. You have to pay yuan to get in.

"Thank you to all the fans who are here today. Rolling Stone Music would not be able to achieve what it is today without everyone's support and love. The new year is about to pass. On behalf of everyone at Rolling Stone Music, I wish you all a Happy New Year! Forever young, Tears forever in my eyes!”

Sure enough, not many fans responded by saying "Happy New Year!", but at least 80% responded by saying "Forever young, forever filled with tears!"

The key point is that some people say that the music festival is no longer pure. In the beginning, it was just folk music, but now even rap and pop singers come to the music festival.

The label "niche" often represents the concept of scarcity and high price when applied to other things, such as clothing and catering. But when it comes to entertainment, for the audience, it means unique taste, and for the creators, it means poverty.

This kind of truth, even if they don't drink too much in private, is often spoken by people in the circle, but in public, no one has done that in the past few years.

This last sentence is extremely provocative no matter when it is applied to rock youth.

Then, under the leadership of Lao Pan and Liu Yao, a large group of old rockers started cheering: "Well said!"

There is a saying that sums it up well: "Who listens to rock music if you are not sick!" A lot of ordinary people on the original earth went to KTV, and you sang "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" and the more you sang like the original version, the more people thought you were sick. Not light.

Wu Tong, the original Grammy-winning boss, was not a rock musician before, but if you ask around your circle of friends, if one out of 10 people knows the band Samsara, then that’s a sign of high status.

About half of the music fans present raised their hands honestly. The half who didn't raise their hands, those who kept listening to rock music, were probably less than 10% of the audience.

This is the reality that has to be admitted. Even though Bianlang has achieved some results now, rock music is still a niche music that needs strong emotions to drive it. Just like this book, the problem is a little bit, but it is still a very niche subject in the entertainment category.

Some of them are from Rolling Stone, some they collaborated with during "China Rock 29", and some who have never interacted with Bian Lang before and were purely invited by Lao Pan.

This is really not just for the rock circle or Aquamarine. This is probably the same situation on the original earth.

However, when these words came from Bian Lang's mouth, the older underground generation was quite relieved. They felt that since Bian Lang wanted to carry this banner now, there was nothing wrong with his words.

This is especially true for musicians. If a director makes a niche literary film, there is another way to win awards and sell the copyright overseas. If you make niche music, even if you get a lot of leftover Grammys, you still won't achieve anything.

After everyone calmed down, Bian Lang continued: "It was not easy for us to play rock music in the past, and it was not easy for everyone to like to listen to rock music. For a long time in the past, capital pursued traffic, and those of us who were stubborn and accepted death were Guys, there is no good creative environment and living environment, and the older generation of rock people have been made to lose their spirits.

Seeing that everyone was still giving face, Bian Lang continued: "Let's talk about our new generation, how many of them have been eaten from one album until now? These songs are played in every music festival, even if the music fans can't afford it. , I guess you are almost sick from singing! And those fans who are younger than us, how many of them paid attention to rock music before the Rolling Stones started, show me your hands?"

What's the problem? The problem is that in the hot entertainment and performance market, neither capital nor audiences really have any patience.

The band is also extremely polarized. People die of drought and die of drought.

Those bands at the top are busy making money, who has time to write songs?

Pain Yang performed 71 times across the country in one year, came to Spring City 4 times, and toured three music festivals in one trip. On average, a performance takes less than five days, so why talk about finding faith in pain?

As for those at the bottom, the performance fee of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan for a music festival is divided by each brother after the performance. Sometimes it is not enough to change the piano. If they are squeezed by life, music will become a side job. If you already have hobbies and interests, who would still have the energy to engage in creation?

And often those classic rock songs that can be passed down were all written when these musicians were relatively poor or at a low point in their lives.

It makes no sense to say this, but it is indeed the case.

This kind of example is hard to come by even in the rock circle. Let’s talk about the original Chinese pop music circle. When I was broken up, I wrote: “If I am young and promising and don’t feel inferior”, after marriage it becomes: “ Your sweet smile is like Umeko-chan..."
