[US Entertainment] The medicine cannot be stopped

The temporary band formed by Serra, George and Daisy was hastily formalized in the underground garage of Bosenman's house.

Sierra is the best singer among the three, so of course she will be the lead singer, while Daisy and George, who currently sing big white voices, can only serve as guitarists and bassists.

Before officially becoming a street performer, Serrat took George and Daisy to several squares and fully understood the strength of their competitors in this small town—other third-rate unknown bands. debuted with his own guitarist and bassist.

From her point of view, those rock bands active in the bar square, with an average age conservatively estimated to be around [-], not only the lead singer has no singing skills, but the treble is all based on roar, and the bass is unstable and does not dare to sing at all. The members in charge of the musical instruments are not very capable, just casually press a few commonly used chords, and frantically scratch the guitar strings for a few hours, and use it as an accompaniment.

The band headed by her not only has an average appearance that is much higher than that of competitors, but also the singing skills of the lead singer, professional guitarist and bassist. Much better on point.

Sera thought that becoming the most famous band in the town was a sure thing for them, but when they really stood in the central square of the town, there were very few audiences when they sang and sang without fear of hardship in the hot summer.

The kind that doesn't give money.

In all fairness, this band is much higher than other third-rate small bands in small towns who hang out in bars or cafes and only sing a few fixed songs, but their shortcomings are also very obvious-no characteristics.

They are not like other bands with insufficient skills but more experience? They have a fixed stage and a fixed audience.Although their singing skills are not as good as Sira's, they are not unpleasant to the ears of ordinary listeners. The most important thing is that they have enough experience to sing the emotions in the songs. Destiny screamed unwillingly, and when I thought that I had achieved nothing at such a young age, like the group of people on the stage who were also old and could only dawdle, I could shed tears enough to feed a tank of fish on the spot.

And Saila's singing skills are very good, but it is not enough to make people amazing. Instead, they will compare it with the original singer. No matter whether the original singer is better than her, in the eyes of nostalgic people, it is always Not as good as the original classic.

Since it’s not as good as the original singing, and it’s not enough to resonate, do you wait for heatstroke by listening to songs on a hot day?

To sum up, this band has not been established for a long time. Except for its conspicuous age, there are no other characteristics of the band. If you stop at the subway station or the center of the square, almost no one is willing to stop and listen to the music for one and a half years in this hot weather. The young girls use her voice, which has begun to develop skills, but has no personal characteristics, and is hard to remember, to sing their familiar pop songs.

Rather than risking heat stroke to listen to a good imitation cover, it is better to go home and pull out the tape to listen to the original song. Even if you want to shed a tank of tears to raise fish, you can go to a coffee shop or bar and listen to the third-rate songs you support. An unknown band is singing, drinking some wine to adjust.

Since no one came to listen to their singing, it meant that they couldn't make much money in this way.Although Saila and George didn't care, Daisy, who felt that her efforts were completely disproportionate to her gains, formally proposed a strike after three days of heat.

Her goal is very clear—to earn enough electricity bills for the whole family to have a comfortable summer vacation. When she found that chasing her dream with Sara was impossible to achieve this realistic and somewhat vulgar goal, she decisively chose to give up.

Daisy can't be regarded as hardworking, laziness, one of the bad roots of human beings, is well reflected in her body. She can endure hardships when she has to, but she is never diligent.

For example, she can live with hunger burning her stomach, but she just doesn't want to go to the kitchen and heat herself a bowl of instant food.

As a last resort, for example, she was about to be forced to leave the air conditioner due to electricity bills, and Sara happened to provide her with a way to earn electricity bills, so she would pick up her loose bones and try to score [-] points The spirit to do something that makes her feel tired, but rewarding.

But now her efforts are meaningless, they are just overdrawing her time and life. Although she has nothing but a lot of time now, she thinks that her body that will collapse due to heat stroke at any time cannot withstand such a toss.

Daisy wanted to give up, but Sai La obviously didn't want to.

Her dream has just started. She has seen many stories of singers being discovered when they were street performers or resident singers in bars. She is very confident in her own qualifications. If any talent scout finds out, she will also go to the record company to sign a contract. At that time, the past of buskers or resident singers will be a point of interest.

But she is very clear that the current development of the band is really not ideal. For her, making money at this stage is certainly not the first goal, but it is indeed a big problem that no one is willing to stop for them.

She needs audiences and applause. Even if she can't act like a real singer now, she also needs someone to really listen to her songs and remember her voice.

"I think we need a more formal stage." In the cafe, Sierra took a sip of coffee, her dark eyes staring aimlessly at the passers-by outside the window.

George has always been very pampering to his only sister, he shrugged, and slumped on the seat with his legs crossed indifferently.

"Oh, it's up to you to decide. I have no objections at all. As for Daisy... I think you just need to ensure that she will have a certain income..."

Daisy licked off the milk froth on her lips, and squinted her eyes comfortably on the table: "Oh, if possible, I hope the performance venue can have air conditioning, or at least a fan, unless you want to perform heat stroke."

Saila didn't answer, she looked at the customers coming and going, and roughly estimated the number of customers in this small coffee shop in her heart.

"I have an idea." She pursed her lips, her expression suddenly became serious, "We can convince the owner of this store to work here as a resident band."

"I agree!" The cold air from the air conditioner just hit Daisy's face, and some of her uncombed blonde hair danced with the airflow.

"I'm very satisfied with this workplace, and it's good to get a fixed salary, but how to fool around... No, it's a problem to convince the boss here to hire us."

……

The owner of the cafe is an elderly, fat man.

At first, when Sierra proposed to work here, he refused without even thinking about it. Sierra performed a classic Beyoncé song for him but failed to impress him. Fortunately, he is also a fan of Michael Jackson. Daisy and George sang "heal? the? world" in exchange for a one-month trial period.

During the probationary period, the work contract will not be formally signed, but the wages will be paid as usual. Without the constraints of the contract, the boss can fire them at any time without worrying about being checked by some department.

Because of their lack of age, Daisy and Sierra's performance time in the coffee shop was limited. They had to finish their work before six o'clock in the evening, and the total performance time per week could not exceed twenty hours.

In addition, they must hold student ID cards to prove that they have not given up compulsory education. If they pass the trial period, their guardians must sign the contract on their behalf.

In addition to this series of troublesome things, their wages are pitifully low, but Sara and George don't care about money, and Daisy also accepts this offer based on the principle that no matter how small a fly is, it's still meat, and the free air conditioner is not for nothing. Work.

Just as Sierra planned her own future path, although Daisy has only one broad goal named making money, she also has some different ideas in her heart about the specific method of achieving it.

Working in a coffee shop made her realize for the first time that her small hobby, writing lyrics and composing music, can also earn extra money and reduce the burden on the family.

The owner of the coffee shop heard that they could compose by themselves, and after asking her to hum a short part of her song, he suggested that she sign a contract with an official record company and sell the songs in her hand to the company.

This is the first time she has heard of the idea of ​​selling songs, but Sera later gave her popular science. Songs are sold as copyrights. Basically, every time a song is used commercially, a certain amount of copyright fees needs to be paid to the singer-producer and the song. The author, regardless of whether her songs are popular or not, at least the first copyright fee is enough for her to pay for part of her college tuition.

She is already in high school, and she will end her compulsory education in a few years, and she will pay tuition fees. Nancy is already working hard to save money and prepare for it, but the poorer the family, the harder it is to save money. Usually, she is already very frugal, Nancy Can't find any other way to save money.

Now that she knows a method that can make money easily, she can definitely try it. Anyway, there is almost no cost except postage, which she can afford.

George is very supportive of her idea, but has sent demo tapes to various record companies several times, but Sara, who has been silent and has no news, is not very optimistic about her.

"Record companies generally have high requirements, and it's not easy to get a formal contract." Saila revealed the sincerity of her past, and highlighted Daisy's focus, "At least one thing, you are a contracted songwriter, there is no need to expose your identity." With a big white voice, it is enough to send them a numbered notation and lyrics."

It's not that Saila looks down on Daisy, but that although Daisy has an unattainable creative talent, her singing skills are mediocre. The worst thing is that she is still in the period of changing her voice, and her singing voice is sharper than before It's a lot, but I still can't grasp the strength well, and the sound becomes a bit harsh when it reaches a high point.

Sending such a thing in the past, no matter how good the song is, the listener just wants to cover his ears and press the fast forward button.

Daisy blinked, put down the tape recorder in her hand, and searched for her diary.

"Since it's not me who sings, I'll vote for a song that sounds better and is a little harder! Skilled singers must like to show off their skills like Saila, so why not give them a song with a large musical span and a lot of transitions?" Already!"

Sera's voice is very good, and the bass is also steady and powerful. In order to let her play her specialties, Daisy has written many songs for her to sing and play with certain difficulty. Since she is not very willing to sell the sheet music that records her mood, It's also good to get these games out to the right people.

Daisy, who is very confident in herself, carefully copied several numbered musical notation and lyrics, and when she was working hard for her tuition, Sara seemed hesitant to speak.

She hesitated for a few minutes, hesitating, "Daisy...do you really want to use this lyrics? Maybe you can modify it, no, it's better to rewrite the lyrics..."

Whether it's music or literature, Daisy's talent is unmatched by her. She asks herself that she can't write better lyrics than this, but... the description is too real, right?With such heart-wrenching lyrics, I always feel that after listening to it, my whole body will feel bad...

The author has something to say: the lyrics are like poisonous chicken soup, it probably means that other people fall in love hand in hand, and you look like a dog in the back. It's more heart-wrenching, more realistic, and uses more metaphors in the lyrics.

The female lead singer in the early stage is not good at singing, that is, she can listen to it, but she will upgrade and make good progress!

The heroine in the early stage is very lazy, unambitious, and a bit realistic. It will not appear that I lose money to do music for the sake of dreams... In her opinion, enjoyment is more important, and love of money is because she finds money. It will be more comfortable.

I don’t know what your point of view is, anyway, I don’t despise people who love money, but I oppose getting something for nothing. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. It’s better to get what you want through your own efforts.

In addition, I don't hate scheming people. It doesn't matter if they are scheming, as long as they don't lose their kindness... Anyway, I think so, so there may be more scheming characters in the article.
