Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 156: Xia Country’s most commercially successful band!
After listening to "All My People".

Chen Gang became more certain.

Li Can has already mastered the magic skills.

It is really hard to describe this kind of magical power that makes people addicted without realizing it.

Time passes slowly.

night.

Chen Gang lay on his bed to rest, waiting for tomorrow's performance.

but.

do not know why.

Lie down and close your eyes.

The sound of “Aomaipipipipip” started to ring in my head.

Tossing and turning.

I even picked up my phone and played other songs.

Can be biased.

No matter what, the sound of "Aomaipipo" in my head just keeps ringing.

"Fuck! Earworm!"

Chen Gang suddenly stood up from the bed, his eyes were red and bloodshot.

Ever since I heard that magical song, the phrase "Aomaipipo" has been wildly stirring in my cerebral cortex.

As a music student, I have been playing with Li Can for such a long time.

Chen Gang naturally knew what this phenomenon was and how it occurred.

Involuntary Musical Imagery, involuntary musical imagery.

Or cognitive itch.

After coming to his senses, Chen Gang of course knew that Li Can's use of half-stop in this song was very malicious.

In the looping section, half cadences are always used to bridge the looping section. Even after the cadence, the root note that starts the loop is still returned.

Accompanied by perfect and regular drum beats.

Sound sampling is also used to connect the front and back.

This tricks the brain into thinking that the simple repetitive passage is not yet complete.

then.

Achieve an infinite loop with no end.

But that's what's hateful about it.

Chen Gang knows everything.

Even the method of getting rid of earworms is known.

But there is nothing I can do.

After all, I have a performance tomorrow and I have to sleep tonight, and the best way to get rid of earworms is to focus on doing something.

But once I have some free time, the songs that strongly brainwashed and impressed me will stir my mind again.

"Li Can! You are so hateful!"

Chen Gang's mentality exploded.

Involuntary musical imagery is a clinical symptom, and a small number of people even believe that it is related to musical hallucinations.

However, the higher the sensitivity to music, the greater the probability of developing earworms, the greater and longer the impact, and the more difficult it is to eliminate.

Not to mention professional musicians, even advertisers need to know this.

It could only be intentional!
In such torment.

Chen Gang spent an unforgettable night.

When he woke up the next day, during the band rehearsal, Zhao Ze asked curiously.

"Gangzi, you didn't sleep last night?"

".I didn't sleep. I came here to listen to music."

Chen Gang had a dark face and a very unhappy expression.

"You have a performance today, why don't you take a good rest?"

"."

Chen Gang didn't want to talk, he just wanted to die quietly.

The earworm phenomenon was not finally dispersed until rehearsal when it was finally washed away by other music.

Wait for half a day.

Find the right time to take a good rest.

After waking up, perhaps because he didn't want to recall the past, Chen Gang seemed to have completely forgotten all these things.

Time passes slowly.

Soon it was time for the performance.

The performance went on normally.

The atmosphere was also very hot and everyone performed very well.

At this time, Chen Gang was completely immersed in the music performance.

as always.

Performing at a high level.

But it’s a band after all.

Even if it's not just rock music, there will definitely be solo parts.

The band members began to cooperate with each other.

I don't know if it's a coincidence.

Just as the drum solo ended and the basic rhythm was given, Zhao Ze and Chen Gang were about to enter the scene.

Li Can coincidentally tapped out the rhythm of "All My People".

Boom! Snap! Boom! Snap!
Boom! Snap! Boom, boom, snap!
Boom! Snap! Boom, boom, snap!
This is actually the simplest drum beat rhythm. The biggest advantage of playing this simple drum beat in a solo segment is that it helps unify the status of everyone and temporarily eases the difficulty of solo improvisation.

Prepare for the next solo.

But here lies the key issue.

Zhao Ze knew.

So I subconsciously gave it two buzzes, moving back and forth with Li Can's bass drum, as the simplest way to supplement the rhythm.

But Chen Gang only felt his head buzzing.

The music that had been brainwashing me on repeat all night started playing in my mind again.

When playing a keyboard solo, you can't just think about it. Once you think about it, the music will come out under your hands.

Li Can, who was beating the drum, trembled all over.

Subconsciously, he looked at Chen Gang.

Cold sweat broke out instantly.

If there was a problem with the melody of Chen Gang's solo, it wouldn't have scared Li Can.

But the melody is fine, but it’s the melody of “All My People”.

On the contrary, it shows that Chen Gang has been affected!

Fortunately.

After Chen Gang soloed for two cycles, Winnie's electric guitar finally came to the rescue.

Winnie didn't think it was a stage accident.

Just frowned slightly.

I feel like the riffs these three guys play are a bit too circular.

then.

Simply lift the melody upwards and move it to the side, getting out of the devilish brainwashing loop.

Li Can was sweating profusely as he followed the empty drum beats, then he accelerated the beats and switched to another rhythm.

No one knew about the cold sweat incident on the stage.

No one knew that Chen Gang had actually failed.

Because everyone handled it so well, and the melody of Chen Gang's solo was pretty good.

The passionate performance ended happily.

The audience's enthusiasm was even more explosive than the previous show.

But Li Can was also equally excited.

After the scene, Li Can put his arm around Chen Gang's neck and spoke with a grim smile.

"Gangzi, you keep talking nonsense! The last time Poland's [fuck] was my fault, I didn't bother with you, but what's going on this time?!"

"You f**king bastard! Li Can!"

Chen Ganghong is warm.

If.

If it is really because of my lack of strength that I have to make the mistake, then naturally I won't have any complaints.

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with strength!
"I couldn't sleep yesterday. Your little song was all over my mind. Why do you always like to brainwash others when you have nothing to do?!"

Chen Gang's mentality really exploded.

"I'm beginning to wonder if you did it on purpose. There are so many rhythms out there, but you chose to play this one?! Who the hell can resist continuing?!"

"?"

Li Can was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

"No? Buddy?"

"?!"

Winnie was even more shocked.

He looked at Chen Gang blankly.

"Ah? So you made a mistake? I didn't even hear it."

"He has entered the brainwashing cycle directly. Damn, so dangerous." Hearing Winnie's question.

Li Can couldn't help but speak.

"If Winnie doesn't take him out, this cycle will last forever. Chen Gang has controlled me and Zhao Ze."

"Don't follow him. He's in a brainwashing cycle and is difficult to guide. It's easy to have coordination problems. If you follow him, it'll never end."

"I absolutely won't take the blame for this!" Chen Gang wanted to cry but had no tears. "You knocked it yourself!"

"What song is this? It's so magical?"

Zhao Ze leaned over curiously.

This immediately attracted Lin Feng and Han Jiayin to look over curiously.

For the actions of curious babies.

Chen Gang didn't want to stop it at all.

When everyone listened to "All My People", the expressions on their faces were exactly the same as those of Chen Gang and O'Carey.

Curious, dazed, weird, excited.

Only Lin Feng's expression changed slightly.

I recognized the song immediately.

I couldn't help but sigh.

“Isn’t this the song you asked me to record male vocals in before?”

"correct."

Li Can snorted and looked at Chen Gang.

"Look, Lin Feng has heard this before. The essence of human beings is a repeater, and the essence of music is a loop."

"But to be honest, Brother Chan, your brainwashing is really a bit too much."

Lin Feng's face turned a little dark.

“In fact, after listening to the content of my original recording, I also fell into a brainwashing loop for quite a long time, but at that time I had nothing else to do and did not delay the performance.”

"That's right! Did you hear me? Don't listen to songs like this before a performance next time!"

Li Can turned around and looked at Chen Gang.

The scolding made Chen Gang blush even more.

"Okay! I admit it! It's my problem!"

Gritting his teeth, Chen Gang could only take the blame for this incident which was full of unexpected factors.

Just thinking maliciously in my heart.

Wait until this crappy song is online.

Fans all over the world have to experience the pain I am going through.

Brainwash! Really brainwash!

"."

Winnie looked at the group of people speechlessly.

Devil Power is a very strong band, but this is the feeling of outsiders and insiders.

But only the band members would know.

The band has been very unreliable since its inception.

First, Winnie broke the string, then there was the Polish big fuck, and after returning to China, she encountered Chen Gang's explosion again.

There were many accidents, but they didn’t seem to be accidents at all.

"Gangzi, this is your second time. I'll remember it for you."

Zhao Ze chuckled and couldn't help but think to himself.

Li Can and Winnie are easily addicted to solos, Lin Feng and Han Jiayin rarely participate in solos, and Chen Gang always likes to create strange accidents.

It still has to be yourself, the most stable one.

This band will break up without me.

"Okay, okay, if there's any problem again, I'll perform Toad Kung Fu on the stage!"

"That's what you said!"

"."

Seeing the boys making a fuss, Winnie sighed.

The band's image seems to have gone far away.

Wang Yongchang, who is far away in Beijing, is handling his work diligently.

Ever since the Devil Power band became popular, they have been flooded with various invitations, collaborations, and announcements.

But I am not confident in handing over some key tasks to others.

They could only let the Ministry of Commerce do the screening, and any slightly more important ones would be reviewed and carefully weighed by Wang Yongchang himself.

"Well, I've finally finished dealing with the invitations for April. The next ones to deal with are those in early May."

Open the various invitation and cooperation applications that have been screened on the computer.

The fourteen pages filled with links made Wang Yongchang's eyes go dark.

But I still forced myself to continue screening.

Same as always.

Deal with the most famous partners first, then deal with the more ordinary ones.

"Ok?"

Look through the emails carefully.

Wang Yongchang's attention was attracted by an invitation letter from mid-September.

The invitation came from Hammer Technology, whose representative product is the world-famous competitive game "League of Legends".

This has had a huge impact worldwide.

Because Hammer has a strong aesthetic sense in music and will carry out various collaborations with musicians from all over the world in major events, the company is jokingly called by players as "making games on the surface, but actually a music company."

The Devil Power band is so popular in the world right now that it is natural that it will be noticed by the League of Legends, which will make a tentative invitation for cooperation.

“This one has to be taken.”

Wang Yongchang is very decisive.

I immediately called Li Can to inform him, and replied quickly after getting the answer.

If you reply too late and someone else takes it down, then the exposure outside the circle that you got for free will be gone.

"Official cooperative music production of S-League"

Wang Yongchang looked at the specific arrangements.

The time is September, which happens to be the period for inviting cooperation.

Coincidentally, that was also the time when the Grammy nominations were revealed.

The S game was held at Lighthouse.

The performers for the opening ceremony are usually arranged jointly by the "organizer" and the "host location".

One is Hammer's S-League theme song, and the other is a local artist selected by the main board area.

As the game becomes more and more popular, the attention to the event is also very high every year.

By exposing a music work to the gaming circle, as long as there is no problem with the work, it can become popular.

If you can’t get out of the circle, it means there is a problem.

Wang Yongchang is not worried at all about whether Devil Power can get nominated.

Unless the overseas rankings are not good, as long as the world registers, the nomination is a foregone conclusion.

At that time, along with the Grammy nominations, the attention of the S game will be exposed.

It is hard to imagine what heights Devil Power will reach between the end of this year and the beginning of next year.

Wang Yongchang is not the only one who thinks so.

After learning about this.

Li Can couldn't help but smack his lips.

After sharing the news with everyone in the band, I couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

"The exposure from this concert is huge, not only for fans, but mainly for people in the industry. Wang Yongchang said that the first time was after the Barty Music Festival and the second time was during this concert. During these two time periods, the number of business invitations increased exponentially."

"Let me tell you something you'd like to hear. Your income this year is likely to go through the roof."

"We still need to perform more. Now that we have linkage with the gaming industry, it may not be impossible to expand into other fields."

Lin Feng smiled.

Hanging out with Brother Chan, I eat nine meals a day.

It’s such a blessing to have this kind of intense business pressure.

"Great, the performance was the best, as long as it's not a mixdown, I'm fine with it."

Chen Gang and Zhao Ze looked at each other.

I wish I could perform every day.

Whoever wants to do this wall-breaking and mixing work can do it.

"The last performance is the day after tomorrow, make sure you do it well."

Li Can waved the data report in his hand with a smile.

"From the week before our concert to the end of the first show, the tourism economy boosted in Chang'an is roughly estimated to have reached more than 200 million yuan."

"so tall?!"

Chen Gang was a little surprised.

I thought it would boost the tourism economy, but I didn’t expect the numbers to be so terrifying.

"Listen to me, this is up to the first performance. When everything is over, we don't know what the final statistics will be."

Li Can smiled gently and patted Chen Gang on the shoulder.

"Our ticket revenue from the three shows totaled more than 40 million, plus the Six Walnuts sponsorship fee, so the total revenue is 72 million. After deducting the cost and taking into account the tax rate concession, each person will receive about 6 to 7 million."

"Not counting channels and royalties, this year everyone can earn tens of millions just from tickets."

"That means we are already the most commercially successful band in Xia Country!"
