Bright Star Road [Entertainment]
Chapter 32 Top 5 Elite Tournament (1)
Rock music is an embarrassing existence in China. Officially, rock music has never become mainstream in China; but from the history of popular music, China was indeed in the golden age of rock music 30 years ago.At that time, there were a few hot-blooded young people in every university to form a band, and after a few public concerts in several schools in the urban area, a record company immediately came to the door.Then you see a record, a national tour, and then you end up lying at home waiting for the money to come to you.
As money continues to erode rock music, rock music is becoming more and more impure.Many rock singers are involved with drugs, or their private lives are very corrupt, and even bands find gangsters to kill each other, making rock music gradually abandoned by the mainstream aesthetics of society.With the sad end of the Nanhua Lychee Music Festival, known as the spiritual hall of rock music in China, the golden age of rock music has also come to an end.
But although most of the rock bands of the golden age have disbanded, there are still many band members who are active behind the scenes.For example, Li Yuanliang and Lao Wu were the lead guitarists of two rock bands, and they were still bright at the time.However, with the disbandment of the rock band they belonged to, the two also put down their fighting and began to live a mediocre life in the music production circle.
It's just that both of them received invitations from ATV today, and I hope they can come to the scene to participate in a video recording, even the announcement fee for the video recording is attached.Although it is less than one-tenth of what it was when they were popular back then, it is not bad for their current worth.So the two agreed, and finally met at the gate of ATV.
"Hey, Lao Wu, I'm afraid we haven't seen each other for several years?" Although Li Yuanliang looked a little cold, he was actually a well-known warm-hearted person in the circle.Many newcomers in the circle have been sponsored by Li Yuanliang, which is why Li Yuanliang has never been rich so far. "What's the matter? Come to ATV to record today? Which show will you be on? If I have time, I'll go and watch it too?"
"Hey, Liangzi!" Lao Wu is slightly older than Li Yuanliang, "I was invited by that "Asian Avenue of Stars". It said that there was a song that needed to be tried on guitar, so I came. Recording today, Live on weekends."
"Hey, I'm also on the "Asian Avenue of Stars"! This show is really generous, and a song was actually recorded by the two of us!" Li Yuanliang suddenly became excited.
It's not that Li Yuanliang looks down on Lao Wu, but Li Yuanliang thinks the program is too big, right?Who is he and Lao Wu?Li Yuanliang's band is a regular at European rock music festivals, while Lao Wu's rock band has been nominated for a Grammy, so the status of the two in Asia is too high.Even if the band disbanded and Li Yuanliang went to Japan to play, many rock bands would still come to visit him, completely as a spiritual leader.Now I was called to play the guitar, and I had to play it with someone else.
Li Yuanliang was a little unhappy immediately, but since he took the money, Li Yuanliang is still professional.But if the song is not good enough, don't blame yourself for complaining.No matter how bad the song is, it will become a golden song if two guitar masters are invited.
Under the instructions of the staff, Li Yuanliang and Lao Wu came to Studio No. [-].Originally there was only one recording booth in the studio, but after finding it was not enough, ATV put a mobile recording studio outside the studio.Now studio No. [-] is the busiest place of ATV, the front is tightly surrounded, and no one is allowed to enter indiscriminately.
At the back are tents that provide players with drinks and meals, a mobile recording studio and mobile toilets.There is no way, there are too many people, and the original bathroom in the studio is not enough.The staff handed over the two guitarists to the music director. The director's greatest interest today is to finish recording the accompaniment of "Hotel California".This song is so classic that the director even thinks that this week's competition is going to produce a jaw-dropping golden song.
Li Yuanliang is quite familiar with the director, so he couldn't help complaining: "I said Aji, you really have a big face. How dare you ask me to record a first show song with Lao Wu? Let me say it first, If the song is not good enough, don't blame me for not working hard!"
Director Aji smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't find you if it's not a golden song. This song is too demanding on the guitar. I thought about it, and only you and Brother Wu can play it in China." .It’s not me, it’s because this song requires two lead guitars, and you’ll understand when you read the score. In short, the style of this song is definitely interesting, come find me if you don’t believe me!”
Aji handed the guitar score to the two while talking.In fact, this is also a means of secrecy. Only the guitar score can not guess the arrangement style of the whole song, just like when filming, the actors get the script related to themselves.
Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu are both old people in the circle, so they naturally understand the rules, so they didn't say much, but started to watch the tune.After watching it once, Ah Wu, who has never talked much, said: "Aji, don't hide it, this song is probably the work of those old monster bands in the United States? I don't believe there are such monsters in your show This kind of soft rock looks simple, but it is the ancestor of our rock music. It is not a band that formed a team 50 or 40 years ago, who would play this? And this kind of playing method with a large number of stacked string bends is basically [-] years ago It’s an old trick, who still remembers it now?”
"Don't believe it, I saw this song pass the verification of the copyright database with my own eyes. You should believe the verification of the copyright database, right? They still pass it once, which means that they can't even be used for reference." Aji was quite proud He said, "He is indeed young, but he has been trained since he was a child. And later on, he is a doctor of composition at the Juilliard School of Music, okay?"
"You're talking about that Li Wei, right?" Ah Wu asked back, "If it was him, I think it's possible. Cui Wei mentioned him last time when he asked me for a drink, saying that he was young, but the music was good. She is very mature and stable, and she has researched both folk songs and rock songs of the year. However, it is not so strange to think that it was produced by Smart & Associates.
At the beginning, Smart Office also produced BAND-type groups, which can be regarded as my senior bands.And their current GANGStar is still a pop rock band, so it's not surprising that their family has a rock gene.And it's from Julia. Although it basically produces serious music, several old rock bands in the United States have something to do with it.I like this piece, so I took the job.Before going on stage, there should be a rehearsal, right?I would like to hear the lyrics of this song? "
Now that A Wu has said so, Li Yuanji naturally has nothing to say, so the two started recording under A Ji's supervision.At this time, Li Wei was discussing styling with the stylist, "I heard that you chose a retro American rock song this time, right?" the stylist asked, "It's a good thing you didn't choose the later rock style, otherwise I It’s really hard to match your clothes here. In fact, the early rock singers were not so exaggerated in their makeup, and they were more lifelike. So my suggestion for you is a pair of washed and distressed blue and white jeans. The shape should not be too Modern and too close-fitting; a black tight-fitting cotton T-shirt, and an open blue and white plaid shirt outside, preferably with the sleeves rolled up. Then it would be good to choose a pair of slightly worn leather ankle boots. Hair should not be too Neat, but there's nothing to do with your cropped hair, and you don't need special makeup."
"I understand, thank you teacher for your guidance." Li Wei thanked and left the styling room.
This is the treatment only available after the Top [-] competition. All contestants can choose clothes according to the stylist's opinion, and then do hairstyle and makeup, so that everyone's effect on the stage is not too uneven.According to the stylist's advice, Li Wei started looking for clothes in the clothing section.Not to mention, although it was sponsored by non-clothing, Li Qiulan generously brought over her other brands of clothes, which enriched the style of the clothing area.
Li Wei searched and found that the washed and distressed jeans he wanted were not available.So Li Wei put forward his opinion to the dresser, and the dresser said that he would bring a batch of washed and distressed jeans for Li Wei to choose by tomorrow morning at the latest.Of course, it's also thanks to the fact that Li Wei is the exclusive model of non-clothing, Barron Clothing Group is willing to give some preferential treatment.If it's another player, I'm afraid the costume designer's suggestion is to change to one with a similar style.
After thanking the costumer, Li Wei prepared to go to the recording studio to record the dry sound.However, he found that the recording studio was not available, so Li Wei went outdoors to breathe fresh air and drink some water after finishing the call.
After Li Wei finished recording the dry voice, it was already eight o'clock on Wednesday night.Li Wei found that he had nothing to do, so he took the bus back to the hotel.Since there was no one in his room, Li Wei decided to enjoy the hotel's free hot spring service.It is said that the hotel's hot spring has a special calming effect, Li Wei tried it, and indeed felt a lot more relaxed.After soaking for half an hour, Li Wei went to the spa for an aromatherapy treatment.The fatigue from this week was released from the muscles with the masseur's massage, and Li Wei only felt refreshed.Li Wei decided that he must have an aromatherapy massage the day before he started singing, to ensure that there will be special effects when he officially sings the next day.
Li Wei returned to his dormitory humming relaxedly, only to hear a quarrel in his dormitory, and it was Paul and Liu Chang who were arguing.Li Wei immediately pulled Liu Chang aside and asked, "What's going on? There are surveillance videos in the dormitory. Once there is a physical conflict, you will be disqualified from the competition!"
"Cancel it, cancel it, I don't want to participate in the competition with this kind of thief!" Liu Chang roared angrily.
"Wang Pin, tell me, what's wrong with them?" Li Wei knew that the three of them had been going in and out together all this time, so he definitely knew.
"Uh, what should I say?" Wang Pin looked at Paul, and finally said cautiously, "For some reason, Liu Chang and Paul both chose the same song, and Liu Chang and Paul discussed their respective arrangements. Originally Paul said that he would give the song to Liu Chang, but when Liu Chang was about to go to the recording studio to record the song, the sound engineer told Liu Chang that Paul had already recorded it. And confirmed with the music director that Paul's song had some problems in the arrangement. Many places are similar to Liu Chang's ideas, so you can see it!"
"Don't be bloody!" Paul objected, "I discussed the way of arrangement with him, how could it be his achievement? Whoever submits the manuscript first will get it. Liu Chang, this is the reality. Although you give It has inspired me to a certain extent, but I still have to tell you with regret that this arrangement is my work. If you can show evidence, I am willing to accept punishment!"
"Damn you, where did you get the evidence!" Liu Chang angrily wanted to trouble Paul, but was hugged by Li Wei.
Regular record companies will definitely hold a meeting when discussing the arrangement of songs, and arrange special meeting recorders, just to avoid situations like Paul and Liu Chang.
Because the copyright law of any country protects the content of expression, not ideas.Before you can turn your ideas into concrete content, anyone using your ideas is not protected by copyright law.And another important principle is that the copyright law protects the first one to apply for protection, not the first one to complete the creation.
So Liu Chang lost on these two points, he neither turned his idea into a work, nor did he submit it before Paul submitted it.Therefore, everyone can at most condemn Paul for a sentence or two morally, but legally, Paul is still the real owner of this arrangement.Regarding what happened to Liu Chang, Li Wei could only comfort him.
However, he seemed to know that he was no longer welcome in this room. After a moment of complacency, Paul carried his luggage to another dormitory.
"Damn it! Is there no way to punish him?" Liu Chang asked unconvinced, "Then what should I do?"
Tomorrow is the final deadline. If Liu Chang fails to submit his work on time, he will be punished as an automatic waiver.One must know that Liu Chang was ranked 15th in the last round, so this round can be passed safely.Although the onlookers knew about Liu Chang's experience, there was nothing he could do except verbal sympathy.After all, there is no personal and physical evidence to testify against Paul, so Liu Chang can only swallow this bitter fruit by himself.
And among these onlookers, some people were probably secretly happy that a top-ranked player was killed like this, so he would have a greater chance of advancing safely.Knowing that there was no other way, Liu Chang returned to the bedroom rather disappointed.Wang Pin could only shrug his shoulders, now who has extra time to help others choose songs and then arrange them.
Li Wei, who was originally in a good mood, was also extremely depressed by the bullshit in his dormitory, so everyone went to bed early.Li Wei lay on the sofa bed and silently took out his iPad.In fact, Li Wei wrote a lot of demos during the competition, he was a little bored, and he wanted to look around to see if there were any songs suitable for Liu to sing.
"Actually, for young singers like Liu Chang, the audience and judges don't have too high expectations of them, so you don't have to look for those difficult songs. First, Liu Chang's own conditions cannot be met; second, , you don’t have time to grind this song slowly with him.”
As if knowing what Li Wei was thinking, Chen Wendi suddenly suggested, "You also know that TEENPOP (teenage pop music) itself originated from Bubblegumpop (bubblegumpop), and the characteristics of Bubblegumpop are simple melody, childish lyrics, chewing like bubblegum. It will lose its taste after a long time. Compared with Bubblegumpop, TEENPOP also incorporates elements such as DancePop (pop dance music), R&B (rhythm and blues), HipHop (hip-hop). I think it is based on the level of a doctoral student in the composition department of the Juilliard School of Music. , it shouldn’t be complicated to help write a TEENPOP song, right?”
Li Wei shrugged and began to write the DEMO on the iPad.Most of these TEENPOP songs are in "AB form", and the melody is generally in quarter beat, without too complicated style.When Li Wei wrote the song, he made a deliberate disguise, the style seems to be mainly R&B, and then added a lot of dance music elements to the chorus.Therefore, if this song is sung by a teenager, it feels a bit mature.But this kind of tone is quite in line with the mentality of a teenager, who is always looking forward to growing up.Yearning for love, yearning for growing up, and feeling mature is a carefree and free life.
However, since the song was written so easily by herself, Li Wei thought about it, and gave up the slightly heavy topic of growing up, and chose first love instead.Teenagers' first love is always hazy, sweet and sour.I don't know when it will start, and I don't know when it will end.
For such a first love, adults may laugh it off, but teenagers may start to pay attention to other girls after being sad for a while.In order to make the song more popular, especially for Liu Chang to drive the atmosphere at the scene, Li Wei deliberately added a lot of repeated lyrics in the chorus, especially the word Baby was used repeatedly.
Li Wei was busy until two o'clock in the morning before falling asleep, which caused Li Wei to have dark circles under his eyes when he woke up the next day.Li Wei had no choice but to put a steam eye mask, hydrating eye mask and repairing eye cream in his bag.
Then he hurriedly dragged Liu Chang who was lying on the bed up, but at this time Liu Chang had a secondary illness, "Anyway, I'm going to be eliminated, I'm not going! Don't bother me!"
"Who said you're going to be eliminated? Give it up!" Li Wei used to be a leader in Smart & Associates, and he has plenty of ways to deal with young artists.He lifted the quilt directly, then picked up the moisturizing spray that Wang Pin put on the bed and sprayed it on Liu Chang's face, "I worked so hard to catch a song for you last night, get up and go to the recording studio How about a try?"
"Really?" The second-year boy really switched between several states at any time. Liu Chang, who was still bored on the bed just now, jumped up in his shorts, and hung on Li Wei desperately, "I know Li Wei Brother Wei is the best! Tell me, how does Brother Li Wei want me to repay? Even if Brother Li Wei asks for my virgin body! Hurry up, Brother Li Wei, let’s have a quick fight before the car starts. !” Saying this, the sophomore boy was about to lick Li Wei’s face.
Li Wei quickly took Liu Chang off his body, "You better go take a shower for me first! You went to bed without taking a shower last night! Also, the bus leaves in 15 minutes, if you can't catch the bus If not, I don't care about you!"
With motivation, Liu Chang rushed into the bathroom immediately, and took a cold shower while singing.Li Wei had to lament that he was still a young man full of anger, if he was asked to take a cold shower early in the morning, he might hesitate for a long time.Due to time constraints, Liu Chang came out after taking a battle bath.Then I found a T-shirt and pants and changed into them. Finally, with wet hair, I went downstairs with Li Wei to catch the bus.
Because it takes some time to get to the studio, Li Wei simply asked Liu Chang to listen to the demo with headphones, while he put on a moisturizing eye mask to catch up on sleep.Liu Chang originally thought that the song that Li Wei rushed out might be relatively ordinary, but after listening to the demo, he suddenly found that this song was not simple at all.And Liu Chang suddenly had a feeling that this song might become a big hit.
When approaching the studio, Li Wei was called out by Liu Chang.Li Wei was rubbing his eye cream while chatting with Liu Chang, "This is a relaxed and lively song, and you should be happy when you sing it. By the way, you should be able to sing a little R&B, right? Aren't children nowadays Do you listen to this style of music? If you can sing, you have to imitate the singing a little at the beginning of section A. I will incorporate dance music elements into the chorus, and you don’t need to be good at dancing, but you need to be on stage Jump up for me."
After instructing Liu to sing, Li Wei took him to director Aji and submitted the registration track.Aji actually heard about Liu Chang, but unfortunately he is a member of the production team and must be in a neutral position and abide by the law.Fortunately, some people couldn't stand it and helped Liu Chang.
Aji is still very confident in Li Wei's original work, but after Li Wei handed in the score, Aji suddenly had a very strange feeling. It felt like seeing a Mercedes-Benz company producing an agricultural tricycle.It's not that Mercedes-Benz can't get involved in the field of agricultural vehicles, but a Mercedes-Benz agricultural tricycle is still quite inconsistent.
Seeing Aji's expression, Li Wei quickly explained: "Isn't this song written for the boy? Is it possible that I also write a song "Hotel California" for him to sing? Even if I can write it, he can't sing it." Here comes the taste. We have to choose the right one.”
"Yes, the most suitable is not necessarily the best." Aji nodded.Some singers are limited by their own voices, and may not be able to sing that kind of big songs, so they can only sing minor tunes.But you can't say that they are not good, they are suitable for singing this. "I'm here to help insert a team and let Liu Chang go to record first. By the way, later you will go to the stage with Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu to get in touch."
"Wow? Is it Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu that I know? Director, you are so awesome! You were able to invite them here!"
"Yes, yes, I have paid for my face. If you don't sing to our satisfaction, I have something for you!" Aji waved his hand and told Li Wei to go to the front desk to prepare to have a conversation with Li Yuanliang. , A Wu and other two guitarists have a break-in.
When Li Wei rushed to the front desk, the band area at the front desk was already boiling.You must know that those who play in the band did not regard Li Yuanliang, A Wu and others as youth idols when they were young, but now that I have come here first, these old gunners have not come up to worship one or two.Although there was an on-site director to coordinate, it still wasted some time.But fortunately, we are all professionals, so we quickly adjusted our emotions and started the rehearsal.
After everyone got in touch, Ah Wu suddenly said: "I don't think this arrangement is suitable? Since it is a retro style, why do you make it so electronic? Li Wei, do you have any other arrangement styles? Anyway, I think this one is very strange to play. Not to mention other things, at least it’s better to change our guitar to an acoustic guitar.”
"Actually, when I originally composed the music, I wanted to use two Acoustic Guitars (round-corner folk guitars). Because Acoustic Guitars are suitable for playing chords, and this song just needs two guitars to play chords." Li Wei said, "And if you can If so, I want to replace the drum kit as well. Remove the bass drum, snare drum, tom drum, and hi-hat, leaving only the hang cymbal, hand cymbal, and then add two African drums. Then I need a sandbox, and finally Give me two cabasas (hand-cranked maracas)."
"Hey, good guy, it brings us back to the American rock and roll bar 50 years ago!" Li Yuanliang joked. "But guys, look around and see if you can find what this kid wants. Let's try again."
Everyone was busy for a while. First, Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu changed their guitars; then the drummer also changed their drums; finally, they found someone who could play sandboxes.Generally in a band, the drums are responsible for the rhythm.However, due to the use of tambourines, the volume of the drums has been reduced, while the main melody and chords have been pushed obviously.In the string music, the sound of drums, sand barrels and maracas seems to entangle everyone's hearing as if nothing.With the ambiguous and obscure lyrics, as well as the original sad and gloomy theme, this soundtrack made everyone present feel very suitable.
The "Hotel California" that changed the way of arrangement immediately showed its unique charm. Most people who play rock music have some understanding of Western music, and they are no strangers to the history of rock music in various countries.Basically, Li Yuanliang and A Wu immediately understood the connotation of the song after listening to Li Wei sing it a few times.
The song is less a simple soft rock song than an elegy to the pinnacle of American rock and roll.In the lyrics, 1969 has become a very sensitive keyword. The Woodstock Rock Music Festival in 1969 was hailed as the pinnacle of American rock music. Since then, American rock music has entered an impetuous era.And it's not just the depravity of rock music, but more of the depravity of American society.If the 60s was the climax of American idealism, then the 70s was the era of the demise of American idealism.
Moreover, Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu have their own interpretations. They think that Li Wei's song is a satire of China through the United States.Because similar to the collapse of American idealism, Huaxia's idealism was also replaced by pragmatism in the 90s, which led to the great decline of rock music.Because this music is very good, not only Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu had fun, but also the other accompaniment bands had a great time.Even rock bands like the Birds came to the stage one after another, crying while listening to it.
But when everyone was having fun, someone suddenly said eccentrically: "This is not a special concert, other people have to come on stage to audition, okay?"
One sentence made the whole place cold. Li Wei saw that Paul and a group of people were talking at the entrance.
Li Wei said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I forgot the time as soon as I practiced here, I apologize to everyone!"
Li Wei's resignation left the group of people behind Paul speechless.To put it bluntly, they are here to find fault.Because from Monday to Thursday, who hasn't auditioned on stage?It's not that everyone has any particularly difficult songs, and the accompaniment here is very experienced, and they basically pass it once or twice.For the rest of the time, the band finally found a song that made everyone happy. When they were having fun, what do you mean by making irresponsible remarks?
In particular, Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu looked at Paul and others very unkindly, and even Asuka and others who were listening to the song off the stage were also very unhappy.But everyone remembered the players' instructions, so they let out the stage with a cold snort.It's just that after Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu left, the attitude of the accompaniment band became cold, especially towards Paul.
"How did you provoke that kid?" Ah Wu was no fool, and immediately grasped the key point.While Li Wei was sending them out, he deliberately asked one more question. "This kind of competition, it's better not to offend people if you can't offend them. It's hard to mix in the circle!"
Li Wei sighed and explained the whole story. "I guess he doesn't like me writing a song for my roommate, right? It's ruining his good deed. It's just that I'm just like that. I'm willing to accept the bet, but I absolutely don't like playing tricks on people behind my back!"
"I just like your temper!" Li Yuanliang patted Li Wei on the shoulder, "I didn't have a good time today, after your game is over, come to my brother's place to play. Although there are not many people in rock music, there are still a few old guys It's with me." Li Yuanliang handed a business card to Li Wei, and told Li Wei to remember to come.
After speaking, Li Yuanliang and A Wu left the studio.
Li Wei looked at the business card Li Yuanliang gave him, and it turned out to be a well-known LiveHouse in Donghai City. Rock'n'Roll, this is the famous rock exclusive LiveHouse in Asia.
LiveHouse is actually a kind of NightClub, but this kind of LiveHouse has better acoustics and is more suitable for performances.We must know that Huaxia's copyright protection is strict, but not all singers have the luck to be picked by Bole.Most of the concerts prepared by underground bands or independent singers are performed in NightClub, or just go to LiveHouse.
NightClub can generally accommodate around □□, but most of these people come for entertainment, and they don’t necessarily love music; but LiveHouse can accommodate 2000 people, and these people are basically music lovers.So for the music industry, being able to hold a concert at LiveHouse is considered an entry-level concert.
More advanced than LiveHouse is theater concerts. Generally, theaters are used to perform dramas, musicals, etc., but they can also be used for concerts.The theater's audio equipment is naturally better than that of LiveHouse, and at the same time, it can accommodate 2000 to 5000 people, which is a test of the singer's ticket selling ability.
A more advanced concert is a stadium concert. Although the acoustics of the stadium may not be very good, the mobilization scale of 1 to 2 people can basically determine your level.According to the unspoken rules of the music industry, singers who can hold stadium-level concerts are at least the top second-tier singers.
As for the first-line singers, they challenged the dome concert.The dome is actually a stadium, but its scale is larger, and it can basically accommodate more than 3 people, and the maximum can accommodate 5 people.Moreover, there are dome stadiums in six cities in China, including Yanjing, Donghai, Nanhua, Mingzhu, Beidao and Jinhai. At the same time, Jinhai Dome is not recognized as a real dome concert because of its small scale.
So where are the super first-line singers holding concerts?Huaxia has three iconic stadiums to choose from.One is the Donghai Stadium in the East China Sea, with a mobilization scale of 8 people; the other is the National Athletic Stadium in Yanjing, with a mobilization scale of 10 people; the last mobilization scale is only 2 people, but because it belongs to Huaxia It has special significance for the royal family of the country, and that is the Royal Peony Arena.Holding concerts in the first two places just represents your popularity; but if the royal family allows you to sing in the Royal Peony Arena, it means that you are really at the level of "national singer".
"Brother Li, I heard about what happened today, and Paul is really haunted!" During lunch, Liu Chang said angrily, "If it weren't for the shackles that broke the rules of the players, I really want to give him Put a sack and give him some bricks!"
"Then he will win!" Li Wei said lightly, "If the dog bites you, you can't bite the dog back, right? The best way is to kill the dog directly, and you must kill the dog directly! He is afraid , he was afraid that you would push him down, so he took away the arrangement you both thought about together. Now he is even more afraid, because he knows that the song I wrote for you will definitely make you advance!"
"That's not true, Brother Li's creative ability is much better than that Huang Azhe!" Liu Chang flattered, "You don't know that old boy, tsk tsk, he is a good teacher every day. But if you ask him to help, he pushes back and forth. I really don’t know how his title of “Little King of Creation” came out. ——Brother Li, I just heard a gossip. Some people are spreading that Huang Azhe’s creations are all done by the team behind him. It's not his work."
"So what?" Li Wei asked back, "As long as his team is willing to accept the result of being caught by a knife, what's the point of what others say?"
Li Wei heard Chen Wendi talk about a lot of news about the world's entertainment industry, among which there was a certain talent whose works were actually ghostwritten by someone.But as long as the person involved refuses to admit it, such news is just speculation.Especially if the news broke out by himself, although Huang Azhe could be troubled for a while, after the incident, others will only remember that Li Wei is not "forgiving".
Don't look at the intrigues and intrigues in the entertainment industry, but the basic rules still have to be said.No one cares about the transactions under the table, but if you look too ugly, someone will discipline you.Especially if Li Wei reported Huang Azhe, it would be an act of flipping the table and making everyone stop eating.So what if Li Wei has the support of the world's best brokerage company?I am completely a bug in the music circle, the kind who wants to step on anyone who sees it.
"You'd better not get involved in this matter. If I'm not wrong, this matter should have been released by Huang Azhe's team. Anyone who is really stupid to report it will definitely cause trouble. And I reckon that this matter is still aimed at me, otherwise someone would talk about this matter with a child like you? Because you and I are relatively close, and you students are too passionate, and you can't understand social injustice. .But fairness is only relative, and you will get used to it after you graduate from college."
Liu Chang obviously didn't understand Li Wei's words, but Li Wei didn't want to say anything.For this innocent child, let him be innocent for a few more years.After Li Wei finished his lunch, he applied to the organizing committee to return to the hotel to rest.Because his audition and rehearsal have been completed, he only needs to go to the rehearsal tomorrow.The organizing committee didn't stop them either. After confirming with Li Wei, they arranged for an entourage to follow Li Wei back to the hotel by bus.
But when Li Wei returned to his room, his first reaction was that a thief had entered.The staff who accompanied Li Wei back were even more frightened into a cold sweat. If there was a scandal that the players' rooms were stolen during the competition, then the organizing committee would definitely be the first to be pushed out as a scapegoat.
The staff immediately took out the phone to contact their supervisor, and within 10 minutes, the hotel staff and the organizing committee staff all came.Fortunately, the hotel has surveillance, so the hotel immediately adjusted the surveillance to check.
In the end, it turned out to be Paul!Although I don't know why Paul came in and rummaged through things, Li Wei remembered that he
As money continues to erode rock music, rock music is becoming more and more impure.Many rock singers are involved with drugs, or their private lives are very corrupt, and even bands find gangsters to kill each other, making rock music gradually abandoned by the mainstream aesthetics of society.With the sad end of the Nanhua Lychee Music Festival, known as the spiritual hall of rock music in China, the golden age of rock music has also come to an end.
But although most of the rock bands of the golden age have disbanded, there are still many band members who are active behind the scenes.For example, Li Yuanliang and Lao Wu were the lead guitarists of two rock bands, and they were still bright at the time.However, with the disbandment of the rock band they belonged to, the two also put down their fighting and began to live a mediocre life in the music production circle.
It's just that both of them received invitations from ATV today, and I hope they can come to the scene to participate in a video recording, even the announcement fee for the video recording is attached.Although it is less than one-tenth of what it was when they were popular back then, it is not bad for their current worth.So the two agreed, and finally met at the gate of ATV.
"Hey, Lao Wu, I'm afraid we haven't seen each other for several years?" Although Li Yuanliang looked a little cold, he was actually a well-known warm-hearted person in the circle.Many newcomers in the circle have been sponsored by Li Yuanliang, which is why Li Yuanliang has never been rich so far. "What's the matter? Come to ATV to record today? Which show will you be on? If I have time, I'll go and watch it too?"
"Hey, Liangzi!" Lao Wu is slightly older than Li Yuanliang, "I was invited by that "Asian Avenue of Stars". It said that there was a song that needed to be tried on guitar, so I came. Recording today, Live on weekends."
"Hey, I'm also on the "Asian Avenue of Stars"! This show is really generous, and a song was actually recorded by the two of us!" Li Yuanliang suddenly became excited.
It's not that Li Yuanliang looks down on Lao Wu, but Li Yuanliang thinks the program is too big, right?Who is he and Lao Wu?Li Yuanliang's band is a regular at European rock music festivals, while Lao Wu's rock band has been nominated for a Grammy, so the status of the two in Asia is too high.Even if the band disbanded and Li Yuanliang went to Japan to play, many rock bands would still come to visit him, completely as a spiritual leader.Now I was called to play the guitar, and I had to play it with someone else.
Li Yuanliang was a little unhappy immediately, but since he took the money, Li Yuanliang is still professional.But if the song is not good enough, don't blame yourself for complaining.No matter how bad the song is, it will become a golden song if two guitar masters are invited.
Under the instructions of the staff, Li Yuanliang and Lao Wu came to Studio No. [-].Originally there was only one recording booth in the studio, but after finding it was not enough, ATV put a mobile recording studio outside the studio.Now studio No. [-] is the busiest place of ATV, the front is tightly surrounded, and no one is allowed to enter indiscriminately.
At the back are tents that provide players with drinks and meals, a mobile recording studio and mobile toilets.There is no way, there are too many people, and the original bathroom in the studio is not enough.The staff handed over the two guitarists to the music director. The director's greatest interest today is to finish recording the accompaniment of "Hotel California".This song is so classic that the director even thinks that this week's competition is going to produce a jaw-dropping golden song.
Li Yuanliang is quite familiar with the director, so he couldn't help complaining: "I said Aji, you really have a big face. How dare you ask me to record a first show song with Lao Wu? Let me say it first, If the song is not good enough, don't blame me for not working hard!"
Director Aji smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't find you if it's not a golden song. This song is too demanding on the guitar. I thought about it, and only you and Brother Wu can play it in China." .It’s not me, it’s because this song requires two lead guitars, and you’ll understand when you read the score. In short, the style of this song is definitely interesting, come find me if you don’t believe me!”
Aji handed the guitar score to the two while talking.In fact, this is also a means of secrecy. Only the guitar score can not guess the arrangement style of the whole song, just like when filming, the actors get the script related to themselves.
Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu are both old people in the circle, so they naturally understand the rules, so they didn't say much, but started to watch the tune.After watching it once, Ah Wu, who has never talked much, said: "Aji, don't hide it, this song is probably the work of those old monster bands in the United States? I don't believe there are such monsters in your show This kind of soft rock looks simple, but it is the ancestor of our rock music. It is not a band that formed a team 50 or 40 years ago, who would play this? And this kind of playing method with a large number of stacked string bends is basically [-] years ago It’s an old trick, who still remembers it now?”
"Don't believe it, I saw this song pass the verification of the copyright database with my own eyes. You should believe the verification of the copyright database, right? They still pass it once, which means that they can't even be used for reference." Aji was quite proud He said, "He is indeed young, but he has been trained since he was a child. And later on, he is a doctor of composition at the Juilliard School of Music, okay?"
"You're talking about that Li Wei, right?" Ah Wu asked back, "If it was him, I think it's possible. Cui Wei mentioned him last time when he asked me for a drink, saying that he was young, but the music was good. She is very mature and stable, and she has researched both folk songs and rock songs of the year. However, it is not so strange to think that it was produced by Smart & Associates.
At the beginning, Smart Office also produced BAND-type groups, which can be regarded as my senior bands.And their current GANGStar is still a pop rock band, so it's not surprising that their family has a rock gene.And it's from Julia. Although it basically produces serious music, several old rock bands in the United States have something to do with it.I like this piece, so I took the job.Before going on stage, there should be a rehearsal, right?I would like to hear the lyrics of this song? "
Now that A Wu has said so, Li Yuanji naturally has nothing to say, so the two started recording under A Ji's supervision.At this time, Li Wei was discussing styling with the stylist, "I heard that you chose a retro American rock song this time, right?" the stylist asked, "It's a good thing you didn't choose the later rock style, otherwise I It’s really hard to match your clothes here. In fact, the early rock singers were not so exaggerated in their makeup, and they were more lifelike. So my suggestion for you is a pair of washed and distressed blue and white jeans. The shape should not be too Modern and too close-fitting; a black tight-fitting cotton T-shirt, and an open blue and white plaid shirt outside, preferably with the sleeves rolled up. Then it would be good to choose a pair of slightly worn leather ankle boots. Hair should not be too Neat, but there's nothing to do with your cropped hair, and you don't need special makeup."
"I understand, thank you teacher for your guidance." Li Wei thanked and left the styling room.
This is the treatment only available after the Top [-] competition. All contestants can choose clothes according to the stylist's opinion, and then do hairstyle and makeup, so that everyone's effect on the stage is not too uneven.According to the stylist's advice, Li Wei started looking for clothes in the clothing section.Not to mention, although it was sponsored by non-clothing, Li Qiulan generously brought over her other brands of clothes, which enriched the style of the clothing area.
Li Wei searched and found that the washed and distressed jeans he wanted were not available.So Li Wei put forward his opinion to the dresser, and the dresser said that he would bring a batch of washed and distressed jeans for Li Wei to choose by tomorrow morning at the latest.Of course, it's also thanks to the fact that Li Wei is the exclusive model of non-clothing, Barron Clothing Group is willing to give some preferential treatment.If it's another player, I'm afraid the costume designer's suggestion is to change to one with a similar style.
After thanking the costumer, Li Wei prepared to go to the recording studio to record the dry sound.However, he found that the recording studio was not available, so Li Wei went outdoors to breathe fresh air and drink some water after finishing the call.
After Li Wei finished recording the dry voice, it was already eight o'clock on Wednesday night.Li Wei found that he had nothing to do, so he took the bus back to the hotel.Since there was no one in his room, Li Wei decided to enjoy the hotel's free hot spring service.It is said that the hotel's hot spring has a special calming effect, Li Wei tried it, and indeed felt a lot more relaxed.After soaking for half an hour, Li Wei went to the spa for an aromatherapy treatment.The fatigue from this week was released from the muscles with the masseur's massage, and Li Wei only felt refreshed.Li Wei decided that he must have an aromatherapy massage the day before he started singing, to ensure that there will be special effects when he officially sings the next day.
Li Wei returned to his dormitory humming relaxedly, only to hear a quarrel in his dormitory, and it was Paul and Liu Chang who were arguing.Li Wei immediately pulled Liu Chang aside and asked, "What's going on? There are surveillance videos in the dormitory. Once there is a physical conflict, you will be disqualified from the competition!"
"Cancel it, cancel it, I don't want to participate in the competition with this kind of thief!" Liu Chang roared angrily.
"Wang Pin, tell me, what's wrong with them?" Li Wei knew that the three of them had been going in and out together all this time, so he definitely knew.
"Uh, what should I say?" Wang Pin looked at Paul, and finally said cautiously, "For some reason, Liu Chang and Paul both chose the same song, and Liu Chang and Paul discussed their respective arrangements. Originally Paul said that he would give the song to Liu Chang, but when Liu Chang was about to go to the recording studio to record the song, the sound engineer told Liu Chang that Paul had already recorded it. And confirmed with the music director that Paul's song had some problems in the arrangement. Many places are similar to Liu Chang's ideas, so you can see it!"
"Don't be bloody!" Paul objected, "I discussed the way of arrangement with him, how could it be his achievement? Whoever submits the manuscript first will get it. Liu Chang, this is the reality. Although you give It has inspired me to a certain extent, but I still have to tell you with regret that this arrangement is my work. If you can show evidence, I am willing to accept punishment!"
"Damn you, where did you get the evidence!" Liu Chang angrily wanted to trouble Paul, but was hugged by Li Wei.
Regular record companies will definitely hold a meeting when discussing the arrangement of songs, and arrange special meeting recorders, just to avoid situations like Paul and Liu Chang.
Because the copyright law of any country protects the content of expression, not ideas.Before you can turn your ideas into concrete content, anyone using your ideas is not protected by copyright law.And another important principle is that the copyright law protects the first one to apply for protection, not the first one to complete the creation.
So Liu Chang lost on these two points, he neither turned his idea into a work, nor did he submit it before Paul submitted it.Therefore, everyone can at most condemn Paul for a sentence or two morally, but legally, Paul is still the real owner of this arrangement.Regarding what happened to Liu Chang, Li Wei could only comfort him.
However, he seemed to know that he was no longer welcome in this room. After a moment of complacency, Paul carried his luggage to another dormitory.
"Damn it! Is there no way to punish him?" Liu Chang asked unconvinced, "Then what should I do?"
Tomorrow is the final deadline. If Liu Chang fails to submit his work on time, he will be punished as an automatic waiver.One must know that Liu Chang was ranked 15th in the last round, so this round can be passed safely.Although the onlookers knew about Liu Chang's experience, there was nothing he could do except verbal sympathy.After all, there is no personal and physical evidence to testify against Paul, so Liu Chang can only swallow this bitter fruit by himself.
And among these onlookers, some people were probably secretly happy that a top-ranked player was killed like this, so he would have a greater chance of advancing safely.Knowing that there was no other way, Liu Chang returned to the bedroom rather disappointed.Wang Pin could only shrug his shoulders, now who has extra time to help others choose songs and then arrange them.
Li Wei, who was originally in a good mood, was also extremely depressed by the bullshit in his dormitory, so everyone went to bed early.Li Wei lay on the sofa bed and silently took out his iPad.In fact, Li Wei wrote a lot of demos during the competition, he was a little bored, and he wanted to look around to see if there were any songs suitable for Liu to sing.
"Actually, for young singers like Liu Chang, the audience and judges don't have too high expectations of them, so you don't have to look for those difficult songs. First, Liu Chang's own conditions cannot be met; second, , you don’t have time to grind this song slowly with him.”
As if knowing what Li Wei was thinking, Chen Wendi suddenly suggested, "You also know that TEENPOP (teenage pop music) itself originated from Bubblegumpop (bubblegumpop), and the characteristics of Bubblegumpop are simple melody, childish lyrics, chewing like bubblegum. It will lose its taste after a long time. Compared with Bubblegumpop, TEENPOP also incorporates elements such as DancePop (pop dance music), R&B (rhythm and blues), HipHop (hip-hop). I think it is based on the level of a doctoral student in the composition department of the Juilliard School of Music. , it shouldn’t be complicated to help write a TEENPOP song, right?”
Li Wei shrugged and began to write the DEMO on the iPad.Most of these TEENPOP songs are in "AB form", and the melody is generally in quarter beat, without too complicated style.When Li Wei wrote the song, he made a deliberate disguise, the style seems to be mainly R&B, and then added a lot of dance music elements to the chorus.Therefore, if this song is sung by a teenager, it feels a bit mature.But this kind of tone is quite in line with the mentality of a teenager, who is always looking forward to growing up.Yearning for love, yearning for growing up, and feeling mature is a carefree and free life.
However, since the song was written so easily by herself, Li Wei thought about it, and gave up the slightly heavy topic of growing up, and chose first love instead.Teenagers' first love is always hazy, sweet and sour.I don't know when it will start, and I don't know when it will end.
For such a first love, adults may laugh it off, but teenagers may start to pay attention to other girls after being sad for a while.In order to make the song more popular, especially for Liu Chang to drive the atmosphere at the scene, Li Wei deliberately added a lot of repeated lyrics in the chorus, especially the word Baby was used repeatedly.
Li Wei was busy until two o'clock in the morning before falling asleep, which caused Li Wei to have dark circles under his eyes when he woke up the next day.Li Wei had no choice but to put a steam eye mask, hydrating eye mask and repairing eye cream in his bag.
Then he hurriedly dragged Liu Chang who was lying on the bed up, but at this time Liu Chang had a secondary illness, "Anyway, I'm going to be eliminated, I'm not going! Don't bother me!"
"Who said you're going to be eliminated? Give it up!" Li Wei used to be a leader in Smart & Associates, and he has plenty of ways to deal with young artists.He lifted the quilt directly, then picked up the moisturizing spray that Wang Pin put on the bed and sprayed it on Liu Chang's face, "I worked so hard to catch a song for you last night, get up and go to the recording studio How about a try?"
"Really?" The second-year boy really switched between several states at any time. Liu Chang, who was still bored on the bed just now, jumped up in his shorts, and hung on Li Wei desperately, "I know Li Wei Brother Wei is the best! Tell me, how does Brother Li Wei want me to repay? Even if Brother Li Wei asks for my virgin body! Hurry up, Brother Li Wei, let’s have a quick fight before the car starts. !” Saying this, the sophomore boy was about to lick Li Wei’s face.
Li Wei quickly took Liu Chang off his body, "You better go take a shower for me first! You went to bed without taking a shower last night! Also, the bus leaves in 15 minutes, if you can't catch the bus If not, I don't care about you!"
With motivation, Liu Chang rushed into the bathroom immediately, and took a cold shower while singing.Li Wei had to lament that he was still a young man full of anger, if he was asked to take a cold shower early in the morning, he might hesitate for a long time.Due to time constraints, Liu Chang came out after taking a battle bath.Then I found a T-shirt and pants and changed into them. Finally, with wet hair, I went downstairs with Li Wei to catch the bus.
Because it takes some time to get to the studio, Li Wei simply asked Liu Chang to listen to the demo with headphones, while he put on a moisturizing eye mask to catch up on sleep.Liu Chang originally thought that the song that Li Wei rushed out might be relatively ordinary, but after listening to the demo, he suddenly found that this song was not simple at all.And Liu Chang suddenly had a feeling that this song might become a big hit.
When approaching the studio, Li Wei was called out by Liu Chang.Li Wei was rubbing his eye cream while chatting with Liu Chang, "This is a relaxed and lively song, and you should be happy when you sing it. By the way, you should be able to sing a little R&B, right? Aren't children nowadays Do you listen to this style of music? If you can sing, you have to imitate the singing a little at the beginning of section A. I will incorporate dance music elements into the chorus, and you don’t need to be good at dancing, but you need to be on stage Jump up for me."
After instructing Liu to sing, Li Wei took him to director Aji and submitted the registration track.Aji actually heard about Liu Chang, but unfortunately he is a member of the production team and must be in a neutral position and abide by the law.Fortunately, some people couldn't stand it and helped Liu Chang.
Aji is still very confident in Li Wei's original work, but after Li Wei handed in the score, Aji suddenly had a very strange feeling. It felt like seeing a Mercedes-Benz company producing an agricultural tricycle.It's not that Mercedes-Benz can't get involved in the field of agricultural vehicles, but a Mercedes-Benz agricultural tricycle is still quite inconsistent.
Seeing Aji's expression, Li Wei quickly explained: "Isn't this song written for the boy? Is it possible that I also write a song "Hotel California" for him to sing? Even if I can write it, he can't sing it." Here comes the taste. We have to choose the right one.”
"Yes, the most suitable is not necessarily the best." Aji nodded.Some singers are limited by their own voices, and may not be able to sing that kind of big songs, so they can only sing minor tunes.But you can't say that they are not good, they are suitable for singing this. "I'm here to help insert a team and let Liu Chang go to record first. By the way, later you will go to the stage with Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu to get in touch."
"Wow? Is it Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu that I know? Director, you are so awesome! You were able to invite them here!"
"Yes, yes, I have paid for my face. If you don't sing to our satisfaction, I have something for you!" Aji waved his hand and told Li Wei to go to the front desk to prepare to have a conversation with Li Yuanliang. , A Wu and other two guitarists have a break-in.
When Li Wei rushed to the front desk, the band area at the front desk was already boiling.You must know that those who play in the band did not regard Li Yuanliang, A Wu and others as youth idols when they were young, but now that I have come here first, these old gunners have not come up to worship one or two.Although there was an on-site director to coordinate, it still wasted some time.But fortunately, we are all professionals, so we quickly adjusted our emotions and started the rehearsal.
After everyone got in touch, Ah Wu suddenly said: "I don't think this arrangement is suitable? Since it is a retro style, why do you make it so electronic? Li Wei, do you have any other arrangement styles? Anyway, I think this one is very strange to play. Not to mention other things, at least it’s better to change our guitar to an acoustic guitar.”
"Actually, when I originally composed the music, I wanted to use two Acoustic Guitars (round-corner folk guitars). Because Acoustic Guitars are suitable for playing chords, and this song just needs two guitars to play chords." Li Wei said, "And if you can If so, I want to replace the drum kit as well. Remove the bass drum, snare drum, tom drum, and hi-hat, leaving only the hang cymbal, hand cymbal, and then add two African drums. Then I need a sandbox, and finally Give me two cabasas (hand-cranked maracas)."
"Hey, good guy, it brings us back to the American rock and roll bar 50 years ago!" Li Yuanliang joked. "But guys, look around and see if you can find what this kid wants. Let's try again."
Everyone was busy for a while. First, Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu changed their guitars; then the drummer also changed their drums; finally, they found someone who could play sandboxes.Generally in a band, the drums are responsible for the rhythm.However, due to the use of tambourines, the volume of the drums has been reduced, while the main melody and chords have been pushed obviously.In the string music, the sound of drums, sand barrels and maracas seems to entangle everyone's hearing as if nothing.With the ambiguous and obscure lyrics, as well as the original sad and gloomy theme, this soundtrack made everyone present feel very suitable.
The "Hotel California" that changed the way of arrangement immediately showed its unique charm. Most people who play rock music have some understanding of Western music, and they are no strangers to the history of rock music in various countries.Basically, Li Yuanliang and A Wu immediately understood the connotation of the song after listening to Li Wei sing it a few times.
The song is less a simple soft rock song than an elegy to the pinnacle of American rock and roll.In the lyrics, 1969 has become a very sensitive keyword. The Woodstock Rock Music Festival in 1969 was hailed as the pinnacle of American rock music. Since then, American rock music has entered an impetuous era.And it's not just the depravity of rock music, but more of the depravity of American society.If the 60s was the climax of American idealism, then the 70s was the era of the demise of American idealism.
Moreover, Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu have their own interpretations. They think that Li Wei's song is a satire of China through the United States.Because similar to the collapse of American idealism, Huaxia's idealism was also replaced by pragmatism in the 90s, which led to the great decline of rock music.Because this music is very good, not only Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu had fun, but also the other accompaniment bands had a great time.Even rock bands like the Birds came to the stage one after another, crying while listening to it.
But when everyone was having fun, someone suddenly said eccentrically: "This is not a special concert, other people have to come on stage to audition, okay?"
One sentence made the whole place cold. Li Wei saw that Paul and a group of people were talking at the entrance.
Li Wei said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I forgot the time as soon as I practiced here, I apologize to everyone!"
Li Wei's resignation left the group of people behind Paul speechless.To put it bluntly, they are here to find fault.Because from Monday to Thursday, who hasn't auditioned on stage?It's not that everyone has any particularly difficult songs, and the accompaniment here is very experienced, and they basically pass it once or twice.For the rest of the time, the band finally found a song that made everyone happy. When they were having fun, what do you mean by making irresponsible remarks?
In particular, Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu looked at Paul and others very unkindly, and even Asuka and others who were listening to the song off the stage were also very unhappy.But everyone remembered the players' instructions, so they let out the stage with a cold snort.It's just that after Li Yuanliang and Ah Wu left, the attitude of the accompaniment band became cold, especially towards Paul.
"How did you provoke that kid?" Ah Wu was no fool, and immediately grasped the key point.While Li Wei was sending them out, he deliberately asked one more question. "This kind of competition, it's better not to offend people if you can't offend them. It's hard to mix in the circle!"
Li Wei sighed and explained the whole story. "I guess he doesn't like me writing a song for my roommate, right? It's ruining his good deed. It's just that I'm just like that. I'm willing to accept the bet, but I absolutely don't like playing tricks on people behind my back!"
"I just like your temper!" Li Yuanliang patted Li Wei on the shoulder, "I didn't have a good time today, after your game is over, come to my brother's place to play. Although there are not many people in rock music, there are still a few old guys It's with me." Li Yuanliang handed a business card to Li Wei, and told Li Wei to remember to come.
After speaking, Li Yuanliang and A Wu left the studio.
Li Wei looked at the business card Li Yuanliang gave him, and it turned out to be a well-known LiveHouse in Donghai City. Rock'n'Roll, this is the famous rock exclusive LiveHouse in Asia.
LiveHouse is actually a kind of NightClub, but this kind of LiveHouse has better acoustics and is more suitable for performances.We must know that Huaxia's copyright protection is strict, but not all singers have the luck to be picked by Bole.Most of the concerts prepared by underground bands or independent singers are performed in NightClub, or just go to LiveHouse.
NightClub can generally accommodate around □□, but most of these people come for entertainment, and they don’t necessarily love music; but LiveHouse can accommodate 2000 people, and these people are basically music lovers.So for the music industry, being able to hold a concert at LiveHouse is considered an entry-level concert.
More advanced than LiveHouse is theater concerts. Generally, theaters are used to perform dramas, musicals, etc., but they can also be used for concerts.The theater's audio equipment is naturally better than that of LiveHouse, and at the same time, it can accommodate 2000 to 5000 people, which is a test of the singer's ticket selling ability.
A more advanced concert is a stadium concert. Although the acoustics of the stadium may not be very good, the mobilization scale of 1 to 2 people can basically determine your level.According to the unspoken rules of the music industry, singers who can hold stadium-level concerts are at least the top second-tier singers.
As for the first-line singers, they challenged the dome concert.The dome is actually a stadium, but its scale is larger, and it can basically accommodate more than 3 people, and the maximum can accommodate 5 people.Moreover, there are dome stadiums in six cities in China, including Yanjing, Donghai, Nanhua, Mingzhu, Beidao and Jinhai. At the same time, Jinhai Dome is not recognized as a real dome concert because of its small scale.
So where are the super first-line singers holding concerts?Huaxia has three iconic stadiums to choose from.One is the Donghai Stadium in the East China Sea, with a mobilization scale of 8 people; the other is the National Athletic Stadium in Yanjing, with a mobilization scale of 10 people; the last mobilization scale is only 2 people, but because it belongs to Huaxia It has special significance for the royal family of the country, and that is the Royal Peony Arena.Holding concerts in the first two places just represents your popularity; but if the royal family allows you to sing in the Royal Peony Arena, it means that you are really at the level of "national singer".
"Brother Li, I heard about what happened today, and Paul is really haunted!" During lunch, Liu Chang said angrily, "If it weren't for the shackles that broke the rules of the players, I really want to give him Put a sack and give him some bricks!"
"Then he will win!" Li Wei said lightly, "If the dog bites you, you can't bite the dog back, right? The best way is to kill the dog directly, and you must kill the dog directly! He is afraid , he was afraid that you would push him down, so he took away the arrangement you both thought about together. Now he is even more afraid, because he knows that the song I wrote for you will definitely make you advance!"
"That's not true, Brother Li's creative ability is much better than that Huang Azhe!" Liu Chang flattered, "You don't know that old boy, tsk tsk, he is a good teacher every day. But if you ask him to help, he pushes back and forth. I really don’t know how his title of “Little King of Creation” came out. ——Brother Li, I just heard a gossip. Some people are spreading that Huang Azhe’s creations are all done by the team behind him. It's not his work."
"So what?" Li Wei asked back, "As long as his team is willing to accept the result of being caught by a knife, what's the point of what others say?"
Li Wei heard Chen Wendi talk about a lot of news about the world's entertainment industry, among which there was a certain talent whose works were actually ghostwritten by someone.But as long as the person involved refuses to admit it, such news is just speculation.Especially if the news broke out by himself, although Huang Azhe could be troubled for a while, after the incident, others will only remember that Li Wei is not "forgiving".
Don't look at the intrigues and intrigues in the entertainment industry, but the basic rules still have to be said.No one cares about the transactions under the table, but if you look too ugly, someone will discipline you.Especially if Li Wei reported Huang Azhe, it would be an act of flipping the table and making everyone stop eating.So what if Li Wei has the support of the world's best brokerage company?I am completely a bug in the music circle, the kind who wants to step on anyone who sees it.
"You'd better not get involved in this matter. If I'm not wrong, this matter should have been released by Huang Azhe's team. Anyone who is really stupid to report it will definitely cause trouble. And I reckon that this matter is still aimed at me, otherwise someone would talk about this matter with a child like you? Because you and I are relatively close, and you students are too passionate, and you can't understand social injustice. .But fairness is only relative, and you will get used to it after you graduate from college."
Liu Chang obviously didn't understand Li Wei's words, but Li Wei didn't want to say anything.For this innocent child, let him be innocent for a few more years.After Li Wei finished his lunch, he applied to the organizing committee to return to the hotel to rest.Because his audition and rehearsal have been completed, he only needs to go to the rehearsal tomorrow.The organizing committee didn't stop them either. After confirming with Li Wei, they arranged for an entourage to follow Li Wei back to the hotel by bus.
But when Li Wei returned to his room, his first reaction was that a thief had entered.The staff who accompanied Li Wei back were even more frightened into a cold sweat. If there was a scandal that the players' rooms were stolen during the competition, then the organizing committee would definitely be the first to be pushed out as a scapegoat.
The staff immediately took out the phone to contact their supervisor, and within 10 minutes, the hotel staff and the organizing committee staff all came.Fortunately, the hotel has surveillance, so the hotel immediately adjusted the surveillance to check.
In the end, it turned out to be Paul!Although I don't know why Paul came in and rummaged through things, Li Wei remembered that he
