walk with jimmy

Lance's sudden speech silenced the noisy media outside.

Everyone seemed to finally realize that no matter how funny the incident was, the poor blond lead singer who broke his leg was a victim, so they posted several reports calling on artists to pay attention to stage safety.

But many of the early Planet fans were revived.

They hoped eagerly: "Is Lance caring about Jimmy? Is Lance showing his friendship? Are you two going to get back together? Is the planet expected to reorganize?"

James was silent.

Even if the reporter asked this topic directly, he would pretend to be stupid and answer indiscriminately: "What? Reconciliation? What Lance said? Don't talk nonsense, that bastard Lance never admits mistakes."

If there is a perceptive person, you will probably notice the term 'admit your mistake'.

Obviously, in the view of lead singer James, guitarist Lance should admit his mistake.But from the current point of view, Lance has another attitude. He almost maintains the same attitude as before, and maintains a look of 'I have never done anything, I don't know what you are angry at. 'The innocent look.

As a result, these two people could only continue to maintain this state that left the onlookers in a fog.

At this time, Lance was not in a hurry. He was seriously working on his own film soundtrack. At the same time, he connected some musicians in series to condemn the new MP3: "Maybe this audio mode is really It has brought great convenience to people and allowed more people to enjoy music! But I really hate it! I watched a song that I worked so hard to compress into only my own body. Play it after % size... oh my god, listen! The quality, the sound, it's all over! The whole song has been screaming and wailing for my broken body, there is no beauty at all."

However, this kind of speech against the progress of the times quickly caused him to be classified as a 'conservative force', and that is for the utilitarian behavior of 'selling records to make money'.

On the other end, James is also angry because of another era of change.

When the lead singer broke his leg diving on stage, everyone just thought he was unlucky this time, or complained that the audience didn't catch him, but they didn't do anything about it.But Davis is a very serious and meticulous person. He went to investigate this matter, and finally found out that Abel and the record company jointly sold high-priced performance tickets, causing a lot of rich people to join in the fun in the front row. The knowledgeable audience caused this tragedy...

Davis hesitated for a long time, but told James about it.

But after talking about it, he analyzed the pros and cons sincerely: "Jimmy, I tell you, I think you should know. But I don't want you to be angry about it. Now, the record is not selling well. We Touring teams spend a lot of money every day, and it's all yours, and Abel just wants to make up for it, not you."

To put it simply, the purpose of the tour in the past was to sell records, the ticket price was not expensive, and it was purely for publicity; but now, the records cannot be sold, so the only way to increase the ticket price of the performance is to earn part of the money from the performance to protect the income and expenditure balance.

James has a bad temper, but he is not an ignorant person.

He knew Abel was saving money for himself, but it sounded a little... unspeakably uncomfortable.

It's kind of funny when you think about it.

Rock music originated from the oppressed black race in the early years. It is a down-to-earth music that really developed from the mud. But today, it develops faster and faster. After gradually moving towards a wider world, it suddenly becomes It's something only rich people can listen to.

This is a bit of a heavy question.

James can't be stubborn and tell everyone 'no price increase', but he doesn't want to disappoint the diehard fans who have been chasing him for many years.

So, he approached Abel: "I want to set up a separate district."

"What?" Abel asked incomprehensibly.

"A little bit in front of that VIP seat, even in the corner. I want to set up a standing area."

"Standing area? What's that?"

"Close to the stage, a little ahead of the VIP; the view may be slightly worse, but it does not affect watching the performance; the seats are removed, and you have to stand to watch the performance, but this way you can stand more people; the ticket price Turn it down as low as possible, first come, first served. In this way, diehard fans can also listen to songs at close range by snapping up.”

"But, if you do this, what's the point of those so-called VIP tickets?"

"They can sit, they can sit."

"But who wants to sit while listening to rock and roll?"

"Hehe, of course it's those idiots who threw me to the ground."

This is to hold a grudge!

Abel was speechless.

But James was determined to do it.

He started to mess around: "I didn't fucking stop you from raising prices, so now it's not enough to set up a standing area?"

"It's not impossible, but it's hard to book VIP tickets in this way. If the price is lowered, it means giving up part of the income."

"Then give it up."

"Jimmy, please think clearly before speaking!"

"I've figured it out. I'm happy that the front row is filled with girls who love me to death. Watching them gives me a lot of energy."

Abel complained in his heart, 'Where do you put the male fans', while dealing with this matter helplessly.

All the contracts have to be re-signed, all the performance venues have to be rearranged, the newly added standing tickets have to be notified to those diehard fans, and the explanations and publicity that should be done must be made...

Just the thought of adding so much work to Abel's spirits.

But when James' decision was announced, those fans were really moved. They didn't care whether they were standing or sitting during the performance. The important thing was that this behavior allowed them to get close to their favorite singer again, and Immerse yourself in the singing of your favorite singer.

But the people who work with the band are not so happy.

Even if James is willing to bear that part of the loss of income, in their view, the blonde lead singer is still a willful and troublesome guy.

Despite this, the station area was successfully established under James' insistence.

And, as a blessing in disguise, when it came time to perform, the die-hard fans and the band magically formed an echoing relationship.

Their existence indirectly played a role in stirring up the atmosphere of the audience.

When James sings, it's almost an emotional response.

Fans will always help to beat the time where it should be; when singing in chorus, they will sing out loud together;All of these made the atmosphere of the live performance so good that it exploded, which also created a music myth of "Jimmy's live, I will never regret it".Even after many years, even if the Internet is more and more developed, there will still be countless people willing to travel thousands of miles to join any performance with James.

However, these are things for the future.

In the early days of the establishment of the station area, no one had enough foresight to think so far, not even James himself.He just continued to tour with the band.Moreover, due to a broken leg, he had to sit in a wheelchair to complete the next performance.

So, when a reporter asked him how he felt about his career.

He replied: "You all know that I drink heavily, I fight, and I swear every day. Many people say that I am a fucking low-level hooligan and gangster, but I have walked steadily all the way so far, and I have stood taller than ordinary people. They are all high, and, what should I do, what do I want to do, the reason is probably that I will do my own job well and never slack off. But some people who are busy shooting commercials every day are different. Well, I really want to ask them, have they ever sung a song well? The kind that doesn’t need to be tuned in the fucking post, really stands on the stage, sings sweaty with life and soul, and sings with blood Zhang, singing exhaustedly, singing drunkenly...]

From this answer, you can feel his consistent work attitude.

Even with a broken leg, the blond lead singer has to push the wheelchair around on the stage, letting himself go with passion.

At the same time, it may be due to a broken leg and the need for daily help.

James, who has never been so careful, suddenly noticed Stuart's psychological problems.

In fact, Stuart's mental state has improved a lot compared to the previous period, but it still hasn't been completely resolved.

The British dispute made him deny himself for a while, and he also doubted his musical philosophy. The media and the public regarded him as a middle-class idiot who didn't eat fireworks, and was boring, and his teammates in the dancing sculpture band did not. What kind of understanding and support were given to him, thinking that he was weak and thoughtful, like a naive and self-willed silly white sweet art student, and finally expelled him.

It can be said that both internal conflicts and external pressure have caused deep damage to Stewart.

The biggest reason James can pull people out of nursing homes is that what he needs is a guitarist.

That's right!

Now Stewart is already afraid of the position of 'lead singer', who stands in the center of the stage, faces the audience, and represents the band to bear the greatest pressure from the media.He doesn't want to stand there and be judged by people like before, but if he is just a musician who cooperates with the lead singer, he doesn't have to worry about this problem. He can hide himself behind the instrument, so that he doesn't have to leave the music he loves .

In a way, this is a clear escape psychology.

But Stuart has been hiding it very well, and he has also shown himself to be extremely selfless, with a gesture of willingness to give so silently.

But after James noticed it, he immediately sneered at it. He was obviously still sitting in a wheelchair, but with a wave of his hand, he was very imposing: "Come on, Stu!"

He said bluntly to his friends: "Dude, stop pretending! We are both lead singers, do you think I can't see what your heart desires? Sing! Sing! Sing! You are a singer in your bones! Something It is rooted deep in the soul and cannot be changed."

Under Stuart's helpless and blank gaze...

James said arbitrarily: "The next performance, you will sing with me. It's not for me to sing harmony, but for us to sing together."

The author has something to say: I am not sure that everyone is interested in some of the things mentioned in this chapter, but I really want to write it myself... I hope it will not be boring.

PS. Write a small theater, in fact, it is not a small theater, just some interviews with Lance and Jimmy.

Reporter: "When the planet was first created, life was very hard, right? I heard that you are still wandering and going on tour?"

Lance: [Very difficult, difficult for everyone to imagine.Every day, I squeezed in a broken car that was falling apart, and it lasted dozens of hours.Brother Jimmy didn't know the way at all, and took us to a place where the birds didn't shit and slept in the wilderness from time to time.Thank goodness for occasionally finding a run-down hotel that looks like something out of a horror movie.But we had no money, so we could only live in the most shabby and worst room. There was nothing in the room, neither hot water nor bathroom.I had to go out to go to the bathroom at night, and I was scared to death when I ran into several big gray-haired rats in the corridor.In this life, I don't want to live that kind of life again. ]

Jimmy: [I don't think it's bitter, it's super fun.Linde, my brother drove us all the way, and everyone chatted lively in the car.At that time, there was no navigation, that idiot Linde was always lost, but he was also very talented when he got lost. He could always find beautiful and quiet places, with grass, woods, and wild flowers. We were like going camping, which was very interesting. up.Sometimes you can find a hotel if you are lucky. Although there is no hot water and the bathroom is a bit troublesome outside, there are beds!It is super blissful to have a bed when you are away from home!What's more interesting is that when I peed in the middle of the night, I just took out the bird to release the water, and a group of little mice ran past in a line. They probably also have a concert?But I'm sorry, I accidentally poured all over your head hahaha.If there is a chance, I should really drive to go this way again, it is very fun. "
