After a brief explanation, Jiang Kan learned
General information about the band "Pink Dragon". This should be a relatively avant-garde and energetic band. It has a certain reputation in the underground music circles in the United States and even some European countries. After all, they have the same roots and similar cultures. On the contrary, this name has nothing to do with it in Xia Country. People know.
"Then let them contact my agent Zhang Lingling directly. Do you have her contact information?" After roughly confirming his intention, Jiang Kan is also happy to expand some of his international reputation, but the specific procedures are really complicated. It’s complicated and troublesome, so it’s better to let professionals handle it.
"Of course, I have also been in contact with her. Thank you again for your "rolling in the deep". It has brought me so many surprises and honors. When I have time to travel to the United States, I will be your tour guide!" The two chatted for a while, Only then did he hang up the phone.
"Hey, his fame has spread abroad~" Jiang Kan held his phone and looked at the end of the bed in a daze for a while, then suddenly smiled.
Although Xia Guo has been catching up in the development of the world music scene in the past few decades, after all, it is still lagging behind the world music scene that is dominated by the United States for 20 or 30 years. Domestic musicians are proud to be able to go abroad, whether they are singers This is true for both composers and composers.
In people's understanding, Western pop music is not only 20 to 30 years ahead of the curve, but some people even comment on it as being incorrigible.
The meaning of "domestic entertainment is dead" is a criticism of the mainland music scene in recent years, which has taken over the market with meaningless moaning, mouth-watering songs and Internet celebrity songs without any connotation, and has nothing worthy of achievement.
At this time, I had already opened a relatively new career with "Castle in the Sky", "Letitgo" and "Rollingthedeep".
The "one window" situation is actually already ahead of many domestic musicians. ...In the United States, in a hotel in a big city in a certain western state.
Several rock musicians were cleaning up their affairs while chatting casually.
They are all white men around thirty years old. Some are strong, some are thin, some have dreadlocks, and some have shaved heads. Coupled with the metal and leather clothes on their bodies, any one of them looks like a Anyone who sees them will recognize their profession.
"Hey, Ben, the performance today was great. There must be at least two thousand people here, right? The roof of the theater was almost knocked over by them. I was so excited that I felt like my blood vessels were about to burst!" The guitarist with dreadlocks bent down to pick up the connecting cables on the ground while chatting with the bassist next to him. His fair face was flushed, and it was obvious that he had not recovered from the excitement of the concert just now.
"Yes, Wayne, at least two thousand people came this time! The maximum capacity of this theater is only this much. Our western tour is off to a good start!" said the bassist known as Ben. He was a big fat man. He carefully took off the bass from his shoulder and put it into the piano case while chatting with his companions with a wide smile on his face.
"And the girls here are very hot. The girl in the front row wearing a yellow T-shirt tried to climb over the fence several times, but the damn security guard stopped her because she didn't know how to be charming. Otherwise, I would have had it tonight. Let’s have fun!” Daniel, a tall and thin violist and drummer, handsomely smoothed his flowing long hair and sighed with regret.
The atmosphere of today's concert was indeed very intense. The explosive atmosphere coupled with maybe a little alcohol could easily make the fans do some outrageous things.
In the past, they have encountered many fierce fans rushing to the stage to hug and take photos with them. If they are lucky, beautiful female fans will rush up and kiss them passionately. This is why Daniel gave up studying to be a lawyer and turned to One of the important reasons to get into music.
"Hey, everyone, everyone, I think we may be a little too optimistic..." Dan, the drummer and vocalist with short blond hair and muscles as strong as a white bear, packed up his drum set and heard the optimistic speeches of his companions. Came over and joined the discussion.
"What do you say, Dan?" Wayne pursed his lips with some disdain when he heard this. Anyway, he felt very good today, just like when he just won the best band group award of the year in a state in the middle of the United States a few days ago. Just as good.
"Have you noticed that the fans who came to cheer us on actually look a little familiar?" Dan had a humble smile on his face, which seemed a bit out of place with his bear-like muscles and body.
"Looks familiar? You mean..." Ben was the first to react and said to himself with confusion.
"Yes, I saw at least dozens of familiar faces inside, maybe more. They have been following us since we performed in the central states. Although I didn't look deliberately, I still noticed it. ." Dan spread his hands, tilted his head and expressed his observations.
"Fanatical fans? Isn't this great? Why do you say we are too optimistic?" Daniel stopped what he was doing and looked at the band leader in confusion.
"It can be said to be a good thing, but it also shows that the number of our fans is actually relatively sparse. I don't know if you have noticed that although there were 2,000 people watching our performance this time, there should only be people standing close to the stage. People on this side really like our music." Dan paused, recalling what he saw from his vantage point on the stage.
"In the middle and further back, the audience is actually drinking and chatting on their own. They don't really care who came here to perform today. They just feel that this environment gives Some of them met more people and drank more wine. They just had the same opportunity as prats. They didn’t care that much about our songs and didn’t even follow the people in front of them to cheer and wave to us!” Dan’s words aroused the laughter of the other three. After thinking about it, they recalled it, and it seemed that such a thing was indeed the case.
After all, their perspective is not as good as that of the lead singer standing at the front of the stage, and they cannot see what the audience is doing too far back.
"I even suspect that this is some trick played by our agents. They paid to hire some people to praise us, and then let the paid reporters praise us, and then our fame will just go away. 'It's on the ground."
"Isn't this bad? After all, your reputation has increased?"
"That's right, isn't that what managers do? We do underground music tours all over the country. Isn't it just to be famous and get the limelight, and then the songs will be on the charts and sell well, and then make a lot of money?"
"There is nothing wrong with this, but I think we should still have some pursuits of our own in terms of real music, instead of just relying on some publicity tricks to gain some false fame..."
"Hi Dan, you are such a complete idealist. In this impetuous era, does it make any difference whether fame comes from hype or real material? Anyway, some people come to our concerts and some are willing to pay to download our songs. That’s all, what’s the point of you caring so much about him?”
"I think what Dan said makes sense, but we are just an independent band that has just gained a little fame, and there are no particularly good composers willing to write songs for us. The song that made us a little popular before is still The manager spent almost all his contacts to help us find it. Who can say whether we will encounter such a good song again in the future?"
"Wayne is right. You should pursue music, but it's good to have some 'fake fame' when you can't pursue it. At least we have toured Europe a few times, right? Now we are in the United States How many bands in the underground music scene can be as lucky as us?"
"Yeah, good songs are hard to come by. Let's rest on our laurels for a while. It would be nice if our manager could help us hire some sitters. Anyway, the media takes photos from the front. They are all on the background board. It's just a shadow..." A few people chatted nonchalantly. Anyway, the concert is over. There are no other plans for the rest of the day except going to the bar. On the contrary, the brothers are chatting while packing up the musical instruments and equipment, and even more Can enhance feelings.
"In short, the top priority is to get some more, no, even a good song. The next few performances in the West must come up with something fresh, otherwise we will sing these old songs over and over again. The dozens of die-hard fans who followed us from the central states will probably get tired of it, right?"
"Daniel, you can tell that it is so easy. How can it be so easy to find a good song? We are not regular pop singers, just an underground band. No matter how famous our manager is, how many famous composers can he invite to sing for us? Where are you writing songs?" Several people chatted and sighed, and the explosive atmosphere of the concert gradually subsided.
"Ding ding ding ding~" Dan's phone rang suddenly. He picked up the phone and took a look. The two thick golden dagger-like eyebrows that were originally drooping jumped up quickly as if they were equipped with springs!
"Shh, shh, it's Janice!" As soon as he saw the caller number, he immediately raised his index finger to his mouth to silence the friends around him.
"Hey, Janice, long time no see. I watched your music festival live broadcast, and the song "Rolling In The Deep" was quite good!" After answering the phone, Dan opened his mouth with a burst of compliments. The other party originally had a higher status than any of them. I can't imagine it. In addition, she recently won the Palme d'Or. The light is extremely dazzling, and it is impossible for the younger brothers of these underground bands to look directly at her.
"Hey, old neighbor, you're too polite, but thank you for the compliment. This song is indeed one of my favorite songs over the years. The judges and the audience went crazy when they heard it, didn't they? Yes. "Hey, how are you and your Pink Dragon Band doing now? I heard before that you went on a West Coast tour." Janice is not a polite person. The thinking habit of Westerners is that if you praise me, I must praise myself even more. , there is no such thing as modesty, everyone thinks I just need to be better than myself.
"Ha, the tour was okay. We just finished a live concert with 2,000 people, and we are packing things backstage..." In front of his neighbor's sister in his hometown, Dan didn't have any temper at all, but he didn't You still have to show off convincingly. If you don't say it, how will the elder sister know what achievements she has recently made?
"Oh? A concert with two thousand people? That's not bad. I remember that your last concert in the central state had less than a thousand viewers... Haha, let's not talk about that today. I have a surprise for you. , do you want to know what it is?" Janice is no longer teasing her little brother, but goes straight to the point. She originally liked this neighbor's little brother, and watched him grow up for her music dream. Now she is famous. , he will help if he can.
"Oh? Surprise? What surprise?" Dan's words were so surprising and loud that the friends around him stared at him with wide eyes, hoping to hear a real surprise from his mouth.
"Haha, Xiao Dandan, you are still so impatient~ But I still appreciate your pursuit of music - what do you think of my song "Rolling In The Deep"? Does it sound good?"
"What do you think of it? It sounds good, of course it sounds good. It is a rare masterpiece in the domestic music scene in recent years! Several of my homies and I have been obsessed with it recently, and they are asking me I asked you if you can sing this song of yours at our concert... But what's wrong, why do you ask?" Dan said to the phone very excitedly. This song has become a popular song in the United States and even Europe recently. The most popular song, not only insiders like them in the music industry like it, but even some little girls on the streets will sing a few lines in a babyish voice
"We could have it all!"
"Ha, that's very good. Since you like this song so much, let me tell you that your fortune will turn around!" Janice is also very happy. After all, this song is also her own proud work, and others praise her. People praise, those are two completely different feelings.
"Stop showing off, Janice, tell us, what is the good news?" A surprising idea suddenly appeared in Dan's mind that even he could not believe, but he did not dare to say it directly for fear of his own It was like being reckless and scared away this sudden good luck!
"Haha, the author of this song is a good friend of mine. He has recently recovered due to physical reasons. There is very little external interference on him, so he has some time!" Janice raised her head as if to show off. His head, his smooth and smooth chin was raised high like a proud white goose, but unfortunately the foursome on the other end of the phone couldn't see it.
"So...?" When Dan heard this, a sudden rush of blood rushed to his forehead, his whole body became hot as if on fire, and his mind was filled with countless expectations!
