Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 152 Can idols still compete in the Grammy Awards?
"O'Carrie, what do you think a walnut looks like?"

Li Can looked at the curious O'Carrie with a smile.

When everyone saw Li Can's expression, they felt something was wrong.

"What does it look like? A brain?"

O'Carey was stunned.

"Correct!"

Li Can clapped his hands, his smile looked so evil no matter how you looked at it.

It looks just like a bad guy trying to trick kids into giving them pocket money.

"In our Xia country, walnuts represent intelligence!"

"Really?"

O'Carey's eyes lit up.

The words that made everyone's eyes go dark came out of his mouth.

“Then I am a walnut too.”

"?"

Winnie couldn't hold it anymore.

He glared at Li Can and spoke quickly.

"What he meant was that in the Xia country's diet, there is a saying that like cures like. Walnuts look a lot like the brain, so people believe that eating walnuts can nourish the brain and make people smarter."

"Oh"

O'Carey curled her lips in regret.

Before she knew this, O'Carli thought the name "Little Walnut" was cute.

"."

Seeing O'Carey's somewhat regretful expression, Winnie's face suddenly became even darker.

Glancing at everyone, Winnie felt that everyone seemed to have been assimilated by Li Can, and she was the only one who still retained some rationality.

"Hey man, what's wrong with him?"

Metal Storm's muscular drummer Steve asked in a low voice.

He pointed at Zhao Ze who was lying unconscious on the sofa not far away.

The one who answered was Chen Gang.

"Dizzy, this guy ordered a large portion of Pao Mo today, and he even added another steamed bun."

Although it is not all carbohydrates like Shanxi, Chang'an is definitely the carbohydrate capital.

What's more, the Northwest is also the North, and the northerners' characteristic of eating large portions is fully demonstrated.

Anyone who eats Pao Mo in Chang'an and orders a large portion and adds extra steamed bun is likely to have been hungry for eight days.

"Is he okay then?"

"It's okay, most likely just dead."

Seeing Chen Gang waved his hand nonchalantly, he was still in the mood to joke.

Steve immediately became interested.

“Are the food portions here horrible?”

Muscular drummer Steve doesn't know much about the Summer Country diet.

But as a member of the big muscle group, Steve's appetite is absolutely outrageous.

"."

Chen Gang didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The food portions in Chang'an are actually not terrible.

But it will be a fatal blow to people with big eyes and small stomach.

If we talk about authentic Northeastern cuisine, it’s the portion size that will impress you.

Chang'an cuisine is the kind that will make your stomach bloat when you eat it.

"Want to try?"

"it is good!"

"."

Chen Gang took Steve out.

I randomly found a restaurant and started eating steamed bun.

“It’s quite interesting.”

Steve wasn't bored.

Before coming to Xia Country, everyone in Metal Storm reached a consensus.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do

He also tore the steamed bun himself obediently.

"Just three buns, who can eat them?"

Steve had no idea of the seriousness of the problem.

A big bowl of steamed bun, start eating, eat more and more.

After I finally finished eating, my stomach became more and more bloated as I sat.

Steve stood up, his face flushed.

"Chen! Take me for a spin!"

"."

I originally thought that Steve was trying to digest his food, but halfway through the walk he couldn't hold it anymore and had to rush back to the hotel.

At this time, Zhao Ze had recovered, but it was Steve who lay down.

Seeing Steve sleeping soundly, Zhao Ze asked curiously.

"What's up with him?"

Chen Gang curled his lips with a weird expression.

"I don't know. Maybe I got carbon monoxide poisoning."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Zezi, how is the conversation between Li Can and the others?"

After going out for a walk and coming back, Chen Gang also became concerned about the arrangements for the next performance.

"The contract has been signed."

"Ah? Do supporting actors need to sign a contract?"

"To be more precise, it's not a supporting role, it's a collaboration."

Zhao Ze lightly adjusted his glasses and looked to the other side of the hall.

Three teams are gathered around the table, confirming the documents.

"Okali and Metal Storm are very popular abroad, and they also span the music fields of many countries. In addition to Lighthouse, Europe, they also have a considerable influence in the Japanese and Korean markets. Brother Chan wants to create an album for Okali, so as to help us stabilize our international influence and go further."

"So will the album management be under Xingmei or under Warner, who is behind O'Carrey?"

"Similar to the Universal cooperation model, domestic operations belong to Star Media, with Can Ge as the leader, and overseas operations belong to Warner, and the beneficiary is O'Carrie."

Listening to Zhao Ze's explanation, Chen Gang nodded in understanding.

Becoming famous all over the world is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is to gain a foothold.

In the field of world music.

The top music record companies are undoubtedly the Big Three: Universal, Warner, and Sony.

If a cooperative relationship can be established, it will be of great benefit to future operations.

"Okay, then I wish our cooperation a success."

Li Can chuckled and shook hands with O'Carey and Harry in turn.

"Then, we can study the supporting performances first."

"We're looking forward to it."

Harry smiled and asked Li Can.

"Lee, do you have any ideas?"

"I think we can perform a joint song with Devil Power, Metal Storm and Ms. O'Carey, which will bring more excitement to the fans and facilitate our subsequent operations around the world."

Li Can's words made everyone nod their heads repeatedly.

Metal Storm is a veteran top band, pure rock.

Devil Power is a new legendary band with diverse musical styles.

O'Carrie, a rising diva, mainly sang pop music.

The overlap of fans between them is also quite high.

If we could perform together.

Not only can it give overlapping fans a surprise, but it can also allow fans to "reunite".

Even if they are just casual fans or fans of the works, they are looking forward to the cooperation with the big guys.

and.

With two bands, the trajectory of the music is heavier and more complex, with a heightened quality.

If done well, it can even elevate the entire stage level to many dimensions.

“Although there is only one week left until the first performance, I believe that such a small easter egg will not be difficult for you.”

Li Can smiled and took out a thick score and partial scores from his bag and handed them to everyone.

"If things go well, maybe we can even do a flash mob before the show."

“I like flash mobs.”

Steve took the score and looked at it carefully.

Then he was slightly stunned.

Subconsciously looked at Li Can.

"I want to ask, what's this new thing called exchanging drumsticks?"

"!"

Hearing Steve ask this.

Everyone in Metal Storm is fine, but Cheese is curious.

The unique sensitivity of the Devil Power band made Lin Feng and his companions feel dizzy.

What the hell is he going to do again? !
"It means we can exchange drumsticks when we're having fun."

Li Can and Steve were chatting.

They looked very interested. The expressions of the Metallica band members and the Devil Power band members were completely different.

The more Harry and Sophia listened, the more their eyes twitched.

He stared at Winnie and the others whose faces were as pale as the bottom of a pot.

It seems to be saying [You guys work with this thing every day? ]

"Even if we sit together, we won't be this close. How can we switch?"

"You throw it to me and I throw it to you."

"."

"This risk is too great. There is a high probability that I won't be able to get the call."

"Don't be afraid if you fail. I have a tactical drumstick holder with eight sets of sixteen drumsticks."

"."

"Oh my god, cool, now I can have fun."

It’s not scary that a drummer does all kinds of tricks, what’s scary is that he gets addicted to it.

Winnie could already imagine the scene of drumsticks flying on the stage.

I couldn't help but ask immediately.

“What if it hits the audience?”

"Ah? What else can I do?"

Li Can looked up and glanced at Winnie in surprise.

"Tell him to give me back the drumstick. Just throw it up."

"?"

Originally it was just the drummer playing, but later, the audience gradually joined in the play.

The abstract picture that Winnie imagined in her mind suddenly became more abstract.

The toes in the high heels have curled up involuntarily.

But Li Can is still producing.

"Oh, Zhao Ze, I have good news for you, Beth."

"This time we are using the most advanced wireless equipment available today, so we can run as much as we want, and there is no need to unplug the bass."

"?"

Zhao Ze somewhat regretted his impulsiveness.

But inexplicably.

There is a sense of shameful pride.

Exchanged glances with Metal Storm's bassist.

There was a gleam of eagerness in the eyes of both of them.

"Patch, you should be able to play rhythm guitar, right?"

"I can't, but it's not a big problem."

Patch patted his chest with a smile.

"Leave the lead vocals to Ms. O'Carey. I can play the bass."

This remark caused the bassists of both bands to look at each other with resentment.

Patch, who had just told a bass joke, pretended not to see it and even wanted to tell another one.

Li Can nodded.

That's easy to arrange now.

In both bands, the lead singer was replaced by rhythm guitar and bass.

The songs are not very difficult.

For top bands, it is not challenging to practice and reach a level that can perform on stage in two or three days.

O'Carli showed the value of the lighthouse diva.

European and American voices have a natural adaptability to wildness, and it only takes less than half an hour to start working on the details of pronunciation.

This made Li Can think deeply.

perhaps.

You can also trick O'Carli into participating in some competitive music variety shows in Xia Country.

So Li Can asked O'Carli directly.

"Okali, are you interested in being a guest on Xiaguo's music variety show?"

"I want to fight you guys?! Cool!"

O'Carey became interested.

O'Carey didn't know much about the Xiaguo music scene.

But if I could record a show with Devil Power and compare it, it would still sound great.

"As for the battle, that's fine too. I'll go back and see if there's a better music variety show. If there is, I'll contact you."

Li Can smiled and nodded.

"Then it's settled!"

The two happily reached a consensus.

See this scene.

Lin Feng felt a little tingling on his scalp.

Judging from O'Carey's status in the European and American music scene.

As a result, the domestic entertainment industry is really boiling.

By then, it will be clear who is the big boss, who is the slacker, who is making continuous progress, and who is playing badly.

"Come on, time is short and the task is heavy, rehearse, rehearse!"

"Come!"

Although it was already past midnight.

But everyone still didn't feel sleepy.

In high spirits, everyone took out their musical instruments.

Li Can and Steve sat next to the electronic drums.

The surrounding rooms are the rooms of the musicians present, and there are no passers-by.

What's more, when you plug the computer into the headset and play some intense rock music, it won't disturb anyone.

They practiced until two in the morning, and then everyone left after having had enough fun.

Six days ago.

Cheng Jin, who was recording a program, received a call from Sun Fucai.

"Hello, Mr. Sun."

"Ah."

Sun Fucai's voice came from the phone.

"Recently, the entertainment industry has been dominated by the DP band and the guest performers they invited. The exposure of the clothing brand we co-founded with Haifeng Industrial is a bit low."

"I have arranged a music awards ceremony for you, and you will be a guest performer on the Lighthouse Grammy Winners World Tour. You can use that time to take advantage of the popularity and market yourself."

"Don't say anything more on your side and let them misunderstand. I will hype the news that you have a chance to be nominated for a Grammy Award. If someone doubts it, the company will come out to clarify and say that you are highly favored by Grammy winners."

"Don't explain yourself."

"Okay, Mr. Sun, I understand."

Cheng Jin agreed immediately.

In fact, normal idols rarely have their social media accounts in their own hands, and most of the time they are operated by a team.

Unless they become really famous, artists will be given some account manipulation permissions.

But Sun Fucai was still not reassured.

I still have to show up in person, put some pressure on Cheng Jin, and explain the situation.

Recently, Devil Power, together with Okali and Metal Storm, has almost dominated the traffic popularity of the entire entertainment section.

The difficulty of occupying the remaining hot space has increased greatly.

Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with the hot topic of DP band's internationalization, show an expression that "our own idol is also moving towards" internationalization, and create a misunderstanding that "Xiaguo music scene is becoming more and more promising."

It is unrealistic to grab traffic openly.

It's still okay to rub it.

then.

At a time when the promotion of Devil Power band’s Chang’an concert is in full swing.

Another piece of entertainment news briefly became popular.

[Expected to win the Grammy Awards? This is the new force of Xiaguo music! 】

It is now May.

The 2017 Grammy Awards have already entered the stage of internal data collection.

By July, August and September, we will basically enter the stage of large-scale internal screening.

The list of nominees will be announced between November and December, and the grand Grammy Awards ceremony will be held in early 2017.

Fry this at this time.

Still an idol.

Almost immediately, netizens criticized him harshly!

Although it couldn't grab the popularity of Devil Power and O'Carly, it undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.

The haters are also popular!
[No, what kind of joke are you telling? ]

[This f*cking trainee variety show hasn’t even finished updating yet, and they’re trying to copy the Grammys, right?! ]

[You don’t know what level you are at? ]

This kind of marketing that treats netizens as fools naturally received countless criticisms.

I don't know.

The popularity generated by this just fits the idea of Sun Fucai and his team to direct and perform the show themselves.

soon.

Cheng Jin’s team immediately refuted the rumor.

[Regarding the false rumors about our trainee Cheng Jin on the Internet, the company strongly condemns them and hopes that everyone can open their eyes and not be led by those who maliciously praise him. Cheng Jin still needs to work harder to improve.]
