Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 158 Why are all of them squatting to buy songs?
It wasn't just the audience who were excited.

And off-field.

But it’s not just the audience.

Most of the songs released by the Devil Power band and suitable for purchase were bought by bigwigs.

Although some songs can be purchased repeatedly.

But there are many companies that are blocked by non-compete issues.

Normal people would never imagine what some people would do to gain an advantage.

I heard that Devil Power was going to play a lot of new songs in the third show, so companies that wanted to buy song licenses came here.

Very uneasy.

[The company sent me on a business trip, but my mission was to eavesdrop on Devil Power’s new song outside the venue]

A legendary band.

To release a new song.

What does this mean?
This means that many licenses have not been sold yet!

Regardless of whether it will be popular or not, the main point is prediction.

Believe first, question later.

Anyway, let the salesperson record it first, and then we can have a meeting to evaluate it.

The only thing that was covered was travel expenses for round-trip tickets, hotel accommodation, etc.

At best, it would be difficult to exceed 8,000 yuan.

Buying songs is a race against time. For bands like Devil Power, you never know when their works will become popular, and if you’re a step late, the price will be very different.

Spending tens of thousands to seize the initiative is a huge profit if it succeeds, and no loss if it fails.

For employees.

It also seems to be an opportunity for a funded tour.

just.

Many employees who thought they were just listening from outside and didn't realize how difficult the work was, finally understood it after they arrived near the venue.

This is not a public-funded trip.

This is to suffer.

The station felt extremely crowded, and once we got to the jurisdiction, the flow of people felt suffocating.

The closer I got to the gym, the more I felt that indescribable pressure.

When the Devil Power band holds a concert, the first people they attract are the drivers who come to pick up customers and the vendors who set up stalls.

Many bands that perform underground in Chang'an also come to the vicinity for road shows to add some emotion before the concert.

Under the flashy mutual involution.

The flow of people is indescribable.

I can also have a meal in the nearby office building.

Kaka is renting it out.

Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows of an office building, you only need to open two ventilation windows to hear the sounds clearly.

Although the sound quality and shock level are not as good as the live performance.

But it is definitely much better looking than video recording.

The main thing is.

You can have hot pot.

The dumber ones would just charge directly.

The smarter ones will directly sell food, drinks and services so that people can eat while watching.

The unlucky guys who didn't buy any tickets and the curious passers-by have also found their home.

It is precisely because of this additional industry.

Only those employees who come to run business for the company can find an environment with less noise to collect sounds.

Collect and record information while preparing to send it to the work group immediately.

The evaluation meeting formed by our company has been waiting for employees on business trips to record new works, and will make quick discussions and decisions. Once a suitable candidate is found, an application invitation will be sent to Star Entertainment as soon as possible.

In the race against time, all you need to do is be faster than your peers!

at this time.

In the background.

The light show is still going on.

And the members of the Devil Power band were also ready.

If I had to describe the theme of this final scene, it would be “black”!
After changing the style.

For the first time, the backstage staff felt as if they had seen the literal true face of the Devil Power band.

Evil force!

Everyone took advantage of the darkness after the light show.

Walk to your respective seats and stand.

Everyone held their heads high and their chests puffed out, like cold and elegant blood nobles.

at last.

In a brief darkness.

The dark red lights illuminate the stage, revealing everyone's figures!
Wow!
After seeing the Devil Power band members' looks clearly, there was a burst of noise from the audience.

"What the hell! What style is this?!"

"Oh my god, I have goosebumps!!"

"Evil power. Really evil power?!"

Except lead singer Lin Feng showed up.

The rest of the members all wore white plaster masks.

On the uneven mask, the spaces around the eyes are very small, the air vents at the nostrils are difficult to discern even when you get close, and the mouth is completely sealed, making it look extremely strange under the cold lighting.

The light from the footlights on the ground made everyone's mask even whiter!
There is a dark red lining under the black light dress.

There is not much makeup on the face, but dark eyeliner is slightly applied at the corners of the eyes.

They wore ornate jewelry with obvious religious symbols, and their hands were completely painted white.

When the clothes are uniform, there is a very "family feeling".

But it's very spooky!

Seeing such an appearance.

The audience gasped.

This is totally different from their previous style!
This kind of stage style is actually not uncommon, but it is so consistent with the name of the Devil Power band!

Lin Feng stood in front of the microphone stand.

Hold your hands together.

The whole person seemed not to be singing but to be praying.

Suddenly.

The song title "Natural" flashed across the big screen!
The dim lights grew dimmer.

A light hum was heard from the crowd.

"ennnn"

At this moment, it is as if you have walked into a prayer temple and heard the saints chanting.

Outside the church, the gloomy and foggy day covered the uneven tombstones at the door.

"Will you hold the line"

Lin Feng spoke softly.

It’s just an opening.

Without any words or actions, the style was locked and the attention of all the audience was captured.

There was almost no sound of musical instruments.

All the others stood there gesticulating and humming like zombies.

"That's the price you pay!

Leave behind your heart and cast away”

As the song progresses.

Suddenly, one of the band members started to move.

That's keyboards and bass!
The others acted as if they hadn't heard it, and they were so stiff that they didn't look like alive.

“Just another product of today,

Rather be the hunter than the prey. "

Lin Feng paused slightly.

All the instruments fell silent again.

Everyone's posture returned to the original state.

It made all the audience's hearts skip a beat.

Available in the next second.

Almost at the same time as Lin Feng started singing, everyone started moving!

"And you're standing on the edge face up 'cause you're a"

"Natural!!"

The violent energy poured out instantly!

Can be biased.

After the outburst, the guitar, bass, and keyboard instantly restrained their movements.

Drummer Li Can sat upright, beating the drum like a puppet without any thoughts.

The whole band feels completely lifeless.

But the music broke out quite violently!
But such an outbreak was short-lived.

Soon, the original texture was restored.

But the audience in the audience was trying hard to suppress their excitement.

On the stage, there were five wooden men, and only Lin Feng seemed to have regained his vitality.

Finally. When the song exploded into the second chorus.

That weird texture only ended briefly.

"Let go of your heartache and be a hunter, not the prey!"

"Gaze into the darkness from the edge of the abyss, for this is how you were born!"

This strong contrast and distorted contrast.

The audience watching the scene deeply felt the spread of an evil force!

Like Lin Feng whispering softly.

He suddenly opened his hands and grabbed the microphone stand in front of him as if he was strangling his throat.

As the flames suddenly rose, veins popped up on Lin Feng's face and he roared in anger.

“I’m gonna make it!”

Wait until this moment.

The whole band finally came alive again!

He took off the white mask on his face.

It was completely different from the dead air at the beginning.

Winnie and Han Jiayin ran on the stage, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhao Ze lowered his head even more suddenly.

Li Can's drumming movements are several orders of magnitude bigger!
As the entire band was fully rejuvenated, the audience could no longer suppress their excitement that had been suppressed by the distortion and changes, and they roared along with all their might.

"You have to have a heart as hard as a rock to survive in this world!"

An indescribable toothache feeling arises.

The sudden outburst of emotion caused screams from the audience to suddenly erupt!

On the stage.

The music of the Devil Power band is being amplified through the speakers, forming a powerful confrontation with the waves of screams from the audience below the stage!
At this moment, the interactive tension is at full blast!

“What the hell!! Aaaaahhh!”

The audience's faces flushed with excitement.

This weird feeling of constant distortion, explosion and rapid suppression makes one want to throw something hard to the ground!
Such power made the audience couldn't help but roar along!

This unique style makes fans who thought they were familiar with Devil Power feel unfamiliar.

If the first scene is mainly about the sunshine, the second scene is mainly about lyricism.

This third scene is like a psychedelic dark vortex that draws people in.

"What the hell! What the hell! I almost forgot what I was doing!"

The employees sent by the company were in different places outside the venue, sweating all over, and quickly finished the recording and uploaded the files.

We all know that Devil Power has a variety of band styles.

It's not uncommon to see any topic.

But when this alternative style appeared, I was still shocked by the texture it expressed.

Next.

Devil Power’s live band performance is still very exciting.

But the "burning" feeling is completely different.

If it was a dazzling burst of fire before.

Today's magical texture is like the faint flickering fire of hell.

The show goes on.

The next work.

It strangely maintains the unity of texture.

All of them are 70% explosive and 30% restrained.

"ENEMY", "Whatever It Takes", "Believer", "Warriors".
The style of the song further incorporates various modern and popular elements.

The proportion of electronics is increasing. Although Chen Gang gets into trouble, he is having the most fun.

The performance goes on and on.

The email notification sound from Wang Yongchang's account has not stopped, and all of them are reservations for new songs to be shown in the concert.

Wang Yongchang was dumbfounded.

"No? Can this be rolled up?!"

"This was sent right after the performance. Are these people squatting here?!"

After the Devil Power band became popular, the one who suffered the most was Wang Yongchang.

I was so tired that I vomited blood tonight.

A new song that was just performed.

The studio album hasn't come out yet.

Is it already fully booked?
But obviously.

The clients who are harassing Wang Yongchang now are all companies that want to make progress too much.

At 9:30 in the evening, when the Devil Power band's performance was completely over, the real explosion was just about to begin.

Instead, in the second half of the night, it reached an extremely terrifying height!

"Where did all these rich people come from? Why do they all want to buy it?!"

"Automobile advertising. Corporate business promotion"

The harder Li Can and his companions worked, the balder Lao Wang seemed to become.

But Lao Wang didn't know.

More people are paying attention to Devil Power's concert than you might imagine.

There are even some companies that have already been successfully invited.

Hammer Technology is one of them.

The Devil Power band was invited to collaborate at the opening ceremony of the S game, but this does not mean that everything is ready.

Observation during this period is essential.

Lord, the project manager responsible for planning all the performances for the opening ceremony of the S-League, came to Xia Country early with his assistant Kosen.

Firstly, to discuss the contract, and secondly, to go to Xiaguo to observe the Devil Power band in person.

After the contract is fully finalized, they will need to work together to discuss the various requirements for the live performance of the work, bring this group of people to the West Coast, take a look at the site that has not yet been built, and participate in the design of the stage.

Neither Li Can nor Wang Yongchang knew.

Some collaborators have already quietly arrived in Chang'an and were "spying" on the performance from an office building not far from the venue.

Feel the Devil Power live.

Lord couldn't help but marvel at it and began to praise it.

"Kosen, I really want to buy all their songs."

"Boss, I want to too."

Assistant Kosen curled his lips.

“But we don’t have that much money.”

"."

Lorde was pleasantly surprised after hearing the new song from Devil Power.

But there is also some helplessness.

The opening cooperation form of the S game is generally that the organizer pays for the venue decoration.

Just like the Olympics, it is an important opportunity to promote the image internationally and a great "face project".

Artists invited by their own country are generally representative to a certain extent.

Hammer Technology does not need to invest much extra.

Therefore, there is sufficient funds to create the S-match repertoire prepared by Hammer Technology, and it doesn't even matter if more performances are arranged.

Just buy it and it’s done.

Although the budget may not be enough.

But if the work is very good, applying for a budget increase and starting early is also a good idea.

But... the problem is, in Lorde's opinion, there are too many suitable songs.

"What should I do? I don't know what to choose."

Lord frowned.

"Numb" wants it very much, wants it very much, wants it extremely much.

But "Immortals", "Centuries" and "Phoenix" also seem to be suitable, especially for warming up the emotions for the opening ceremony of the e-sports finals.

It was a bit numb originally.

But when I really got to the scene and heard the new song.

Lord was even more numb.

"What should I do? It feels like every song is great."

This was the first time Lord had this feeling.

In the past, when I was Party A.

I always pick and choose, but I am never satisfied.

But now I have a lot of very satisfactory works in front of me, and I have been choosing them over and over again, but I have no idea which one is better.

"I think it would be better to just sign them as endorsers, so that we can use all their songs."

Kosen had an idea.

If you are interested, look at Lord.

"Boss, do you think this is feasible?"

"Um?!"

Lord was shocked.

He frowned and counted the Devil Power songs that he liked.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it seems!

Signing someone directly, the package price seems to be more cost-effective than a single? !
Immediately, Lord showed joy on his face and grabbed Kosen's shoulders.

"Oh shit! Kosen, you're such a genius!"
