Timothy-Leslie turned her head uncomfortably to look at it, and it was already a little unsettling for an otaku to be caught in the crowd, and it was even more apprehensive that it suddenly became the center of attention. But Timothy's attention quickly retracted, and when he heard the words of "Don Quixote", he thought he was discussing the album - after all, it was for it that he left the house today. Well, that's what he's good at.

It's like otaku going to San Diego Comic-Con.

"As I said earlier, it's a really good album. As soon as Timsey spoke, he was immersed in his own thoughts, and gushed out, "Every song, I mean, literally, every song can score more than eight." If you're going to say ten, sorry, that's not yet that high, and I personally think that there are five or five and a half songs that can be called perfect, but ...... Whew, I mean, in the whole market these days, a song with a score of six is already very rare, and the title song of many albums does not necessarily have an eight. But now there's another album where every song in it can be scored an eight?"

Timsey shook his head as if he were an old pedant, expressing his opinion on the album, and in a trance, it was as if he had really arrived at San Diego Comic-Con.

"And it's sixteen songs? It's a loss-making deal. So, this album is not 10 points, but 12 points! No matter which artist this is, no matter which company this is, this is admirable. Personally, I think it's the meaning of the album that counts. Haven't you heard this album?"

Timosi's gaze fell on everyone, many of them nodded in response, and some even laughed, "Of course I've heard it, if I haven't heard it, how can I be here?"

Timothy waved his hand in the negative, "I mean, listen carefully! If you listen carefully, you will realize that the order of each song is exquisite! Sides A and B are not arranged randomly! Even the front, back cover and inside pages of the album are carefully crafted. Such a well-crafted album reminds me of the golden age of music, the sixties and seventies. If I could, I would like to buy a vinyl record of this album and keep it in perpetuity. This is definitely one of the best albums of the twenty-first century, at least. ”

"How old are you, and how do you know what the golden age was like? You look so young. ”

"Vinyl? That's absolutely impossible, this album was released by Eleven Studios, and you can't even get the publicity money, how can you have the budget to make vinyl records. ”

"The best of the 21st century? Are you a professional music critic? ”

"What is the arrangement of side A and side B? What is the point of being exquisite? I also noticed that when I listen to each side individually, it feels different, but when I taste it, it seems to be related, what is going on?"

"You just said that there are five and a half songs that can be scored full marks? What are the five and a half songs? I think all the songs on the whole album can be scored full marks!"

"He's just talking nonsense, he looks like an otaku who doesn't know anything, and he's just having fun. Today, everyone came here specifically to listen to the album 'Don Quixote', as long as everyone likes it, where there are so many majors. ”

"It's still eight points, ten points, and we're all amateurs like us. Is. ”

"What the hell was going on? Why was someone screaming in front of you? Who was that person, and why was he babbling about something he didn't understand. ”

"Lan Li is here? What? The young master has appeared! Ahhh

"Young master, woo woo, young master, God, I'm going to die, I'm going to be unable to breathe!"

"Wait, wait, why did some people say that the young master appeared? Who is the young master? Hey, do you know who the young master is?"

"Ahhh

……

Timothy's words were like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil that had reached the boiling point, and in an instant, the crowd was all boiling, and the fluttering oil pot almost set the air on fire, from the beginning of the procession, all the way to detonate, and the entire waiting team was exploded violently, and this time it was completely lively, the noisy discussion, the excited expression, the excited action, around the neighborhood around the pioneer village, burst out with a light that shone brighter than the setting sun, and the next / The blue-gray steel forest in the urban area is completely illuminated, and passers-by are beginning to look sideways.

William also reacted at this time, looking at the scene in front of him dumbfounded. They only realized at this time that for music lovers, in fact, the name "Lan Li-Hall" has no meaning, because it is a complete newcomer, not to mention the title of "young master", and the Timsi in front of him is the most typical representative.

The rest of the group came over and asked all kinds of questions, and Hope, Graham, Tessa and others all took the initiative to start answering - they were lining up at the gate of the pioneer village six hours early today, which was enough time for Lan Li, who had a very weak fan base, and was also a singer, to easily control the front of the line.

To be precise, behind them, the first fan to arrive was already ninety minutes later, and when the other party came to the scene, he was shocked to see that there were already people queuing, and he took it for granted that a rookie singer's album audition, and the singer did not arrive at the scene, naturally there was no need to worry.

Timsey was the eighth to come over and line up, which is considered the third batch. He seems to have long been accustomed to such occasions, and it is not surprising. In his words, "Niche culture is very narrow, and that doesn't mean no one cares." On the contrary, the fanatics are more persistent. It's like a comic. ”

The number of people who listen is not in the essence, but not in the quality. This is the realistic portrayal of the album "Don Quixote".

Although today's numbers seem to be a little higher than expected, they are still only a drop in the ocean among the millions of music-buying listeners in the North American market, and the sales of 1,000 copies in two weeks are only a fraction of the top favorites. Still, they got together.

William pulled his gaze away from the boiling crowd and looked at Timsey, "Excuse me, are you just a music lover? So, how did you find the album 'Don Quixote'?"

"Sort of. I'm a moderator on a music lover forum. With less than 50,000 registered users and about 3,000 active users, Timosey has no need to hide it, honestly, "I regularly dig up those good indie albums every week and recommend them to others on the forum." Occasionally, I write a review for some online music forum or digital magazine, but nothing serious. ”

It dawned on William, this can be considered semi-professional, right?" "So you don't know who the singers of this album are?"

"Should I know?" said Timsey, with a serious expression.

In fact, he just saw the new album on the billboard and reflexively bought it, but the album was really too out-of-the-way, and the two small record stores and a large chain record store he often visited did not have them, and finally found it by accident on the shelves of Walmart supermarkets. He had just arrived the day before yesterday, looped the entire album infinitely more than a dozen times, and after learning about today's audition, he rushed from Boston to New York.

Now, as soon as the other party said this, Timsey broke away from the world of music and thought about it seriously, "When you say this, it seems that the singer is indeed noteworthy." "Remember," uh, the song 'Ophelia' is familiar...... "He paid very little attention to the Billboard singles chart, and even if he did, it was to watch the charts after the fifty, the top fifty pop songs, he barely cared," Wait, I vaguely remember the name of the singer......"

Stunned, Timosey saw the smile on William's face and gradually came back to his senses, but his first reaction was negative, "Won't it?"

If he knew from the beginning that the singer of the "Don Quixote" album was Lan Li, he would never be interested, because actors are actors, singers are singers, and those who can cross borders are often those who have made great achievements in business. Like Barbra Streisand, like Will Smith, like Jamie Fox. Their albums may be able to sell well, but in Timsey's opinion, the quality is lackluster.

But now, that iron rule seems to have been broken.

"Wouldn't it?" Timsey still denied it, and then saw William nodding solemnly and affirming it again, Timsey couldn't help but pat his forehead hard, "Jesus Christ!" His face was full of chagrin, and he couldn't believe that he had actually attended an album listening session with an idol actor.

No, wait. Don Quixote is a don't lie, it's definitely one of the best since the turn of the millennium. "You mean, this album is really sung by Lan Li?" asked Timosey again confirmed.

William took the trouble to nod in affirmation, "Yes, and all the songs were written by Lan Li, and he is also one of the producers." ”

Timsey's expression suddenly became playful, what kind of actor - or singer - dared to create such an album that was not tolerated by the market, and what kind of artist could create such an off-the-beaten-path but exceptionally good album?

"Can I talk to Lan Li directly face to face in a moment?" Timsi became interested, clapping his hands excitedly, and couldn't wait to ask in person. Not as a journalist, but as a music fanatic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are ready to enter. Keep things orderly, though. Janice, who was standing at the door, raised her voice and said, "There are no seats inside, so please find a place according to your preference." This is a private music audition, please consciously abide by the order. ”

Goo, goo, the air began to boil, and it seemed that an explosion was brewing. 21010
