As Sarmien's last drum beat fell, the whole song ended, and the audience burst into cheers and screams. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dean, blushing with excitement, stood at the front of the stage, and at the end of the song, his face suddenly showed a hint of confusion, as if he didn't know what to do.

Xiao Yao hurriedly took a few steps forward, put his arm around Dean's shoulders, and greeted the audience with a smile with him: "Thank you, please enjoy the wonderful performance of "Daydream" below. ”

Under Xiao Yao's reminder, the other three members of the band also came to the front of the stage, waved to the audience, and then the five of them left from the side and back of the stage together.

Seeing the five members of the band turn away, someone in the audience who was in high spirits immediately shouted "Encore". Immediately, this voice went from small to large, and soon swept the audience, becoming a chorus of the audience.

"Great!" said Keith, back in the band, who were greeted with a smile on Keith's face.

"Thank you. The band also replied with a smile.

"It's the first time I've encountered a warm-up band being shouted 'encore' by the audience," Keith smiled and said to the band, "Do you want to satisfy the audience and go up and sing another song." ”

"No, you've seen our previous live rehearsals, and we've only prepared this one song. Xiao Yao smiled bitterly. It's not that he didn't think about preparing one or two more songs temporarily, not new songs, just singing the song "Daydream", but considering that the band members had too little performance experience, and seeing the nervous appearance of the band members before, Xiao Yao could only give up this plan and go all out to prepare this song.

"Well, you've done a great job of warming up, so it's up to us to do the rest. Keith nodded, and continued, "Originally, I wanted to arrange a few seats for you in the front row so that you could go to the audience to watch our performance, but in this situation, I'm afraid you can only watch it backstage." ”

"It's okay, we haven't seen a show backstage yet, so it's nice to feel like that. This time it was Dean who answered first.

The members of the band "Daydream" gave a high-handed slap to the young people of the band "Immortals" and took the stage. And after they appeared on stage, the audience cheered and screamed a lot more than when the "immortals" performed just now.

"It's still that they're amazing, and the audience has such a loud voice just after they came on stage. George listened to the voices of the audience and said with envy.

"I think we're going to have this day too. Dean confidently patted George on the shoulder.

"I doubt it. George replied very facelessly, but his eyes were looking at Xiao Yao.

This meaning is obvious, he is not optimistic about the prospects of the band after Xiao Yao returns to China next summer.

"Enough. Sarmeon, who had rarely spoken, suddenly said, "Young is not the only one in this band. Dean is already learning to write songs with Young, and... Even if Young leaves next year, our band won't be the same as ever. When we first formed this band, we didn't have Yang, is it that if he leaves, this band will be disbanded?"

"Of course not," George and Mike shook their heads quickly.

"So, after Jan leaves next year, we're going to have to continue. Instead of worrying about Young's departure next year, it's better to work harder now to make yourself better. Jan has given us a great start, how many bands in the world are as well-known as we are at our age? Even compared to "daydreaming", we have been so lucky. Sarmien said with a rare emotion.

Actually, Sammy has been learning to write songs lately. What I learned from Young, she learned everything from me. Dean couldn't help but say.

"Oh?" George, Mike, and Xiao Yao all looked at Samion in surprise at the same time.

"But why don't you just learn from Yang?" said George, looking at Samion, asking the question that all three of them had in their minds.

"It's none of your business. Sarmeon glared at George, but did not answer.

"Okay," Dean said to ease the atmosphere, "Whether Yang is here or not, we are all immortals, and as for what happens after Yang leaves, wait until Yang really leaves." Now, let's watch the stage performance of "Daydream" and learn how they behave on stage. It was also a great learning opportunity for us. ”

After listening to Dean's words, everyone finally stopped discussing and tangling the problems after Xiao Yao left, and concentrated on watching the live performance of the "Daydream" band in the backstage position.

Compared with the performance of "Immortals", which is still a little immature, the "Daydream" band, which has been a "veteran" for ten years, is naturally much stronger on stage. The audience still watches "Immortals" as a novelty and fun, while "Daydream" is the object of their live charm of rock bands. Xiao Yao watched the live performance of "Daydream" for nearly two hours backstage, and not only saw the gap between themselves and the current top rock band, but also gained a lot in stage performances.

In addition to their routine coverage of the Daydream's concert in Los Angeles, the recent public premiere of the popular and mysterious student band "Immortals" was also a major focus of their attention. Commenting on their on-site performance will also be featured in the coverage of these entertainment media reporters.

Of course, no one is comparing this band with an average age of eighteen to the top band in the circle, Daydream. Although the performance of "Immortals" is not as good as "Daydream", the live performance of reaching the level of an adult band still gave a big surprise to the media reporters. In particular, the enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene during their performance exceeded their expectations. Therefore, it is only natural to praise them together in the report on the concert.

After the "Daydream" concert in Los Angeles, as the media reported and commented on the debut of the band "Immortals" as a warm-up guest, their "Immortals" position on the Billboard was also further improved, and after the list was revealed the following week, it had reached the top 10 and ranked eighth. This also makes Immortals the youngest band in history to enter the top ten miles of Billboard, and for that alone, they have already made history, which can be regarded as a kind of "immortal".

Being able to do this, in addition to their own performance and the quality of the song, luck is also an inevitable reason. The unsurprising popularity of the movie "TeenagesVigilante" is the main reason for the popularity of this song. At the same time, due to their special status, the filmmakers also grasped this point, and promoted the movie by promoting their band, and then increasing the box office of the movie, which is not something that anyone can encounter.

Whether it is because of Betty Bellette and Xiao Yao's friendship, or simply because he sees Xiao Yao's potential, Keith has helped a lot in it. not only helped them record, but also helped them operate a series of matters related to the release of the music source on the music website and the contact with the radio station to hit the charts. Finally, as a warm-up guest at the concert, Keith also introduced the band as the host, which can be said to be sparing.

The final result was also a great joy for all, and a win-win situation was basically achieved. The band became popular, the movie was a big hit at the box office, and Keith's band not only had a heavy band to warm up, but the box office and atmosphere of the concert were also very hot.

Daydream's Los Angeles concert was just before Christmas at the end of the year, so a few days after the concert ended, it was the most important Christmas in the West.

The importance of Christmas in the West is almost equivalent to that of the Chinese New Year. On this particularly important holiday, Xiao Yao also brought a special Christmas gift to the band members.

"Merry Christmas!" On Christmas morning, Xiao Yao gathered all the members of the band and handed them a check.

"You're not kidding, are you?" Dean smiled and glanced at the check handed over by Xiao Yao, "Is it true that Huaxia sends cash checks directly when giving Christmas gifts?"

"Twenty thousand dollars!" Mike, who was about to take the check, exclaimed, glancing at the amount on it.

"What?" After the rest of the people took the check handed by Xiao Yao, they all looked at the amount written on it, and they were also shocked.

"Jan, what are you doing?" Samion said as he glared at Xiao Yao.

"Guys, don't get me wrong. Xiao Yao raised his hands and smiled, "This money is not mine, but your legal income, and you deserve it." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Dean asked.

"The income from the song "Immortals" by our band. Xiao Yao explained, "It's free to be a warm-up guest for "Daydream", but the movie has to pay for our song as the theme song, as well as the download of music websites, and the paid on-demand of TV and radio stations, these are the income brought by this song, this song is sung by our band, and the income is naturally five people of our band. It's not just you, I've got it myself. ”

"Although we have always said that this song is the work of our band, after all, this song was written by you, and the copyright income should be yours alone. Sarmien said.

"You're wrong," Xiao Yao shook his head, "It's not copyright income, it's usufruct income." The income I just mentioned is all from the use of the version of the song we performed, and I don't play and sing the song alone, of course, everyone has a share. And this song will continue to bring us income in the future, and this is only the income of the last month. ”

"So, it's our money, you're just giving it to us today, and it's not about Christmas gifts or anything. Dean jokingly said to Xiao Yao.

"Uh... There are also some relationships. Xiao Yao was stunned, and then replied, "Keith once wanted to buy the copyright of this song, but I didn't sell it, and I naturally won't sell anyone else." The only commercial version of this song that can be used for commercial purposes is the one sung by our band, so the income from this song will be more in the future, and this is my Christmas gift to you. ”

In the United States, a country where copyright protection is relatively good, it is not difficult for a musician to support himself for the rest of his life with a very famous work. It's hard to feed five people on one song, but it's also an ongoing income, and it's definitely a very heavy gift for a few people in the band.

"Man, I don't know what to say. Mike first said with some excitement, "Here, give me a hug first." As he spoke, he stepped forward and hugged Xiao Yao fiercely.

The other two boys also stepped forward to express their gratitude to Xiao Yao with a hug, only Samion was still cold, and just said "thank you" to Xiao Yao gratefully. (To be continued.) )
