The main reason why the Raptors can represent China to participate in the Oriental Music Festival is not that Chen Wei went through the back door, but that the Raptors have this strength.

In April this year, the band's first album "Friends" was officially released on the mainland shelves, and with the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala, 600,000 copies were printed, which were sold out, and then 3 million copies were printed.

The sales volume exceeded 3 million in half a year, which was more popular than the album of the disco queen Zhang Chang in the same period.

is only slightly inferior to Deng Li's album "I Only Care About You" in the same period.

Deng Li is a folk idol in the mainland, with a high emotional intelligence and a large fan base, which Gu Meng and the three cannot compare with for the time being.

After the release of the first album, the second album "Raptors Attack", including ten songs such as Dream Chasing Pure Heart, I Want to Fly Higher, The Girl on the Other Side Look Over, The Girl Is Pretty, and That Girl Said to Me.

There are more classic songs in this album, which are catchy and more popular.

Released in July, the report card handed in by the company last month scared three people, which was better than the first album and had a chance to break five million.

In the first half of the year, the Raptors became the first band in mainland China to sell more than one million albums, and will set a new record in the second half of the year.

The two albums were big sellers, and the popularity of the three of them continued to rise, and now the songs of the Raptors are playing in the streets, dance halls, and stores.

Among the mainland musicians, the three are the most famous, have the best results, and have the most fans, and they are understandable as representatives of Chinese mainland rock.

Lao Cui has nothing to say when he knows, his album sales have only exceeded one million, and he only secretly envy him.

"Old Cui, if you are envious, you can join our Raptors band"

In the bar, a group of musicians got together to drink, and Dou Wei joked with a beer.

Lao Cui thought for a moment and shook his head, "You already have three lead singers in your band, and I'll become four again, it's too troublesome."

"Indeed!"

Everyone agrees.

The band is formed because of ideals and like-mindedness, but after the album is released, the distribution of benefits must be considered.

The lead singer of the band is the key to the band, the soul of the band, and of course take more.

For example, John Lennon in the Beatles, the bucktooth red scarf and bath towel in Queen, and the Tangram band before Lao Cui are all based on him.

The Raptors are an exception, though.

In the band, Chen Wei has a skill, he is the captain and agent, and organizes the guard.

Dou Wei has time, he is the lead singer and striker, and the promotion of albums and commercial performances are handed over to him.

Gu Meng has songs and fame, but he rarely appears in band activities, of course, he is a ghost-like soul figure.

The distribution of interests between the three people, except for Gu Meng's creative share, the rest are the same.

And Lao Cui released an album, and the size is a star, just like having a font size in the rivers and lakes,

If he joins in, he will upset this balance, and once there is a conflict, everyone can't even be friends, and he doesn't want to be annexed.

"Okay, don't talk about anything else"

Hu Mei tapped on the information on the table, drawing everyone's attention.

"Let's continue to discuss the Green Willow Music Festival, so far, including our people here, there are only twelve singers or bands who have signed up to participate, will this number be a little small?"

The festival was initiated by the Raptors

Onslaught Bar Sponsorship

As the music director of the bar, Hu Mei naturally became the chief planner and director of the entire music festival.

Zhang Zhao, the bar's director and security captain, also became the festival's security advisor.

Hu Mei continued, "Do you want to invite other pop singers as well?"

"Don't do it, you have to be pure when you play rock, it's okay if there are fewer people, you can sing a few more songs. ”

"Not bad!"

Those who play rock and roll don't like to play pop music, the two circles are clearly bounded, only the Raptors band spans the two worlds, rock and pop, everyone turns a blind eye.

"Gu Meng, will you talk about cross talk on stage this time?" Dou Wei quipped with a smile.

Everyone remembered the scene of seeing Gu Meng for the first time in the discotheque, and laughed heartily, in a blink of an eye, everyone has known each other for almost two years, and they can still sit and drink together, which is quite fateful.

Gu Meng smiled, "We are playing rock, we want to take the opportunity to promote the concept of rock and roll, what is the matter of talking about cross talk on the stage, Xiaodouzi, you listen obediently, don't make up your mind." ”

"What Gu Meng said is right!"

Lao Cui agrees with his words, rock is a foreign product, belongs to a kind of international pop culture, fashion avant-garde, and those who sing rock and roll are all tall talents.

"Actually, it's okay to say a few words to liven up the atmosphere, but it's not called cross talk, people call talk shows abroad, do you know?"

Gao Xiaosong spoke, his family members are all high-level intellectuals, and his grandparents are academicians

Doctor, his parents are professors at Qingdao University, he is a real scholar, he can accept some advanced culture since he was a child, and he has a better understanding of foreign pop culture.

However, Gu Meng looked at him and wanted to laugh.

During the Chinese New Year, a series of bullets are popular in rock circles, including round-headed bullets, pointed bullets, and whirl-headed bullets.

Gao Xiaosong also ran to cut off his shawl hair, and after cutting it, he cried on the spot.

Who is the buddy in the mirror?

It's just ugly.

For a person who loves stinky beauty, that blow is fatal.

For the next half a year, Gao Xiaosong kept wearing a hat and was embarrassed to meet people.

Now the circle is full of bullet series, and he is the only one who still has that long hair.

"Gu Meng, what are you laughing at?" Gao Xiaosong asked with his little thumb hooking the hair in his ear.

Gu Meng smiled, "Xiao Song, there is a particularly beautiful hairstyle that is popular abroad now, called small dreadlocks, have you heard of it?"

"Little dreadlocks?" Gao Xiaosong thought for a moment, "No, what does it look like?"

Everyone was very curious.

Gu Meng took the pen and drew it.

"Hey, this hairstyle looks pretty cool!"

Dou Wei fell in love on the spot, a little impatient, young people have a strong ability to accept new things, and they want to try everything.

"It's really cool, but how do you wash so many little braids?" Gao Xiaosong hesitated a little.

"Haha, I said it's called small dreadlocks, small and dirty braids, of course, you don't need to wash them"

"Well, forget it, I don't want lice on my head. ”

"Hahaha!"

"Don't laugh!"

Mixing with a bunch of people who don't know how to tune in, Hu Mei has a bit of a headache.

"Then let's all report a few programs first, and make specific on-site adjustments, otherwise it will be too chaotic. ”

"Yes!"

"Do you want a host?"

Hu Mei suggested again.

This issue was discussed for a while, and the few rock bands that signed up, except for the Raptors and Lao Cui, were mostly established not long ago and were unknown.

Everyone wants to take this opportunity to get a roll call, go to the bar disco to get more money, and maybe be lucky to be seen and release an album.

I still need to go up to the field.

"This person, I'll look for it!"

"Okay!"

Afterwards, Gu Meng found Zhou Tao, the girl is a junior this year, has hosted many performances in school, and has become smart and capable.

However, her temper also became bigger and bigger, and she extorted a gold medal from Gu Meng before agreeing to host on stage.

Lao Bi also came to help Sister Mei and do the filming of the music festival.

Gu Meng wanted to take a beat of this music, edit the video into a video, and commemorate it in the future.

After three months of preparation and publicity, the first Green Willow Rock Festival finally opened.

On that day, October 2nd, it was the three-day holiday of the National Day, and the college students in the capital came.

That guy is showing up for a red flag, and there are a lot of people...
