Chapter 67 Wine and Interview
James still got his drink, given by tour manager Bill.
That's a...how should I put it?A person who loves artists very much.
As we all know, Davis should be more recognized by the four members of the Planetary Band.
The gentle and freckled young man wearing glasses is the good friend who has truly accompanied them all the way and shared joys and sorrows.
If it weren't for Abel's insistence, and Davis himself felt that he was a little inexperienced and gave in a step, then the position of tour manager would definitely belong to him, and Bill would have nothing to do with it.
Therefore, since Bill took office, although James and the others have not publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with him, when they get along with him and Davis on a daily basis, they will naturally show an obvious difference between closeness and distance.
Bill probably felt a little bit of a sense of crisis from this.
But he has also been in this industry for many years, and he clearly knows that artists will always know some close friends, and what a truly shrewd person usually has to do is not to ask for trouble to fight against this 'close friend', In order to cause some unnecessary resentment and disputes, we should find a way to get rid of the source, that is, the artist himself.
Even if you can't become close friends with them, you must find a way to become someone who the other party relies on and trusts.
Only in this way can we solve the problem fundamentally and stabilize our position.
So, Bill began to quietly pay attention to the four members of the planetary band.
In a rock band, the lead singer and guitarist always occupy an important position.Therefore, drummer Baldwin and bassist Theo were included in his candidate list of 'if you have a chance, you can have a relationship, if you don't have a chance, you can ignore it for the time being'; In addition, he has almost no special hobbies other than guitar, and it is too difficult to gain favor, so he is also included in the other category of "if you have the opportunity, you must have a relationship, but the pay and reward are not proportional in a short time, so don't consider it for the time being". a shortlist.
In the end, only James was left.
Although at this time the media always made up all kinds of rumors, saying that he has a bad temper, fights if he disagrees with him, his private life is chaotic, and he often has promiscuous sex with fans.
But in fact, he is definitely the easiest person to contact among the four members of the planet.
For example, even though he is so famous now, he can still squat outside the bus from time to time, smoking a cigarette like a street gangster, basking in the sun, and talking nonsense with the tour staff Chat, without any airs.
More importantly, his personal preferences are almost on the surface.
In the original national joint tour, Bill accidentally used a few bottles of Tuscan rum to make him drunk enough to miss a performance, indirectly causing the planetary band without a lead singer to perform on stage. Symphony', which also resulted in Lance having a nasty scolding session with the audience.
But because it was James who asked for the wine on his own initiative, and because Mike Campbell, who changed the program later, jumped out and took the blame, which attracted the main anger of the band members. Bill, who provided the wine indiscriminately, managed to escape and was not angered.
But the benefits it brought him were very obvious.
James therefore remembered this 'tour manager who would give me a drink', and gradually became acquainted with him.
Therefore, in order to continue to please James, maintain this relationship.
When Lance issued a warning of 'I will fire anyone who dares to give Jimmy a sip of wine', Bill would still boldly provide James with beer secretly.However, because of Lance, he didn't dare to give too much, just a small bottle to relieve his hunger, and he would supervise him to rinse his mouth after drinking to ensure that no one would find out.
Honestly, it's kind of funny.
At that time, since James and Lance were always hanging out, in order to leave for a drink, he had to leave for 'a few minutes of personal activities (secret drinking) time', racking his brains to make up all kinds of reasons...
——It seems that a plane passed by just now, so I went out to have a look;
(Lance: What's so good about an airplane?)
——There's a hole over there, I'm going to catch a rabbit;
(Lance: Catch a rabbit??)
——I want to find a hidden place and pray with the angel, otherwise today's luck will not be good.
(Lance: ... praying with an angel?)
Sometimes, James himself can't figure out what's going on?
"Why did things develop like this?" He pondered while drinking: "Since when did I start? I suddenly became that kind... After I got married, I was strictly controlled by my wife, and I even had to sneak a sip of wine." The wimpy man?"
But people will always meet their nemesis.
Not necessarily afraid of him, but definitely afraid of his displeasure.
Anyway, whether Lance really doesn't know, or pretends not to know...
During this time, James' 'friendship' with tour manager Bill has really grown by leaps and bounds.
Fortunately, he drank and drank, but rarely caused any trouble.
In other words, in some situations, he may be better at dealing with it than Lance.
At that time, the performances of the Planetary Band were extremely densely scheduled.
Except [after James was sick and insisted that all the tickets for the performance were sold out, and he could not refuse, Lance once firmly rejected the next two performances, allowing everyone to have a good rest for three or four days], They are running around the country almost without stopping for a moment. Moreover, this time is different from the joint tour that only needs to perform for 10 minutes or half an hour. On their own stage, each performance has to be performed at the shortest. Enough for an hour and a half.
The whole life revolves around one thing, running back and forth to perform every day, singing the same song hundreds of times.
Then, I either slept on the bus or lived in a hotel all day long...
That's really not how people should live.
Therefore, as soon as they walk off the stage, without the fans to help add blood and blue, the four members of the planetary band will immediately lose all vitality and vitality and become sluggish.
But their hard work has not gone unnoticed.
In addition to the high evaluation given by the mainstream music media, even some colleagues began to praise their scene.
The most exaggerated person should be the guitarist Kelvin of the Joker band.
This person ran the train with his mouth full, and openly told reporters in an interview: [I accompanied my girlfriend to see the performance of the Planetary Band not long ago. Before I went, I was very upset. s face.But to my surprise, when they started acting, I was crazier than my girlfriend. ]
Then, he started incoherent: [Jimmy is so, so good!do you know?His waist is so thin, I really want to measure it with my own hands if I have the chance, I bet it will never be more than 28 inches... When he dances, he is so charming that it is unbelievable.Oh, God!I have never seen such a powerful and serious lead singer!Do you know how amazing and hard-working he is?When he finished singing, he was sweating profusely, but that way was even more sexy and provocative, making people want to pounce on him and lick all the beads of sweat off his body with his tongue.Believe me, believe me, you must believe me, whenever you go to see his performance, everyone will feel that the money is not wasted, I am now a big, big, big fan of his. ]
The Planetary Band, which was busy on tour, didn't know about Kelvin.
But because the clown band itself is also very well-known in the UK, many reporters immediately told the planet about this, and asked them what they thought, and would they have something to do with the clown band in the future Musical collaborations and contacts.
However, before James realized who the guitarist of the Clown Band was...
Lance, who has always been good at pretending to the media, asked aggressively: "What kind of pervert pays attention to the waistline of a male lead singer of a rock band? He licks sweat, does he think he is a dog?"
No one expected that the most stable person in the planetary band would be annoyed, and, moreover, he would be so disrespectful to his peers.
For a while, even the air was quiet.
In fact, the Joker band has always been quite strange to the outside world.
The music style of this band is very melancholic, and every day it is the type of 'this world is not good, everyone should die'.Therefore, the members of the team are not normal, especially emotional.It may not be normal for an inexplicable fan like guitarist Kelvin to speak to others, but it is normal to put it on him. It can even be said that this is an indirect friendly expression.
However, the gesture of friendliness did not seem to lead to an equally friendly response, but instead seemed to irritate people.
The reporters who came here excitedly and wanted to ask "is there any possibility of cooperation between the two bands" became a little embarrassed.
At this time, James seemed to react.
But unlike his guitarist's sudden irritability, he just frowned, and calmly asked a question that changed the situation again in an almost commanding tone: "Explain! What does that Kelvin mean? What is he trying to do to me?"
If Lance's cursing made everyone a little embarrassed for a while, but there was still a secret joy in their hearts of "getting some big news"...
This simple question from James was instantly impossible to answer.
In fact, no matter how the Planetary Band understands Kelvin's casual remarks, the winner is the media.
Because the final result is nothing more than two kinds, one is commercial bragging, you finish me, I’ll brag you again, if you have a chance, everyone will have a band friendship, and the scene will be harmonious (this is the most likely choice that the media initially thought ); the other is Lance, who immediately turns his face and hurts others.But it is conceivable that if the report goes out, Kelvin will definitely give a similar response. In the end, in all likelihood, it will be a lively scene of scolding between the two parties.
These two results, no matter which one they end up with, the entertainment media are happy to see and have news to write about.
Therefore, embarrassment is embarrassment, and they are not panicked at all.
As a result, James suddenly said "I don't understand what Kelvin means, please translate for me".
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Fuck!
How do you translate this?What you need is for you to understand it yourself!
All entertainment reporters are in trouble.
If everyone replied 'he wants to touch your waist and lick the sweat on your body', it seems that Lance is right, he is quite abnormal...
But the problem is, they definitely can't translate like this!
If you say that, Kelvin will definitely throw the blame immediately when you look back: I didn't mean that, I just exaggerated my appreciation, it was the media's random reading comprehension, and it was to provoke the friendly relationship between the two bands.
So, facing James' puzzled green eyes...
This group of entertainment reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world fell silent for a rare moment before explaining in a difficult tone: "Actually, Kelvin is a bit exaggerated, what he means is... After watching the show, he likes you very much , has become your fan."
"Oh, I sing very well, and many people like me." James immediately showed a confident and nonchalant look.
As if he really believed it, he simply replied as if responding to an ordinary fan: "Thank that buddy for me."
All the reporters didn't know how to answer him, so they could only respond with toothache-like smiles.
When the interview was over, everyone was a little tired, and the same question emerged in their minds: [Is Jimmy really not understanding, or is he pretending to be stupid? ]
That's a...how should I put it?A person who loves artists very much.
As we all know, Davis should be more recognized by the four members of the Planetary Band.
