Chapter 472: Black Holes Belong to the Future
The news of the Black Hole Band's official comeback quickly spread throughout the Internet, and not only the fans of Black Hole were extremely excited, but even many passers-by had a feeling of waiting for a long time.
In the past two years or so that the Black Hole Band has been silent, countless newcomers and new bands have emerged in the music circle, and many people want to replicate the trajectory of Black Hole's fame, and they have attached many black hole representative labels to their bodies.
The development of metal music has also reached its peak in the past two years, not only have many very good metal bands emerged internationally, but the domestic music scene is almost occupied by metal music.
The Swan Lake Metal Music Festival has also become another landmark project of Xinghai Culture, contributing more than tens of millions of profits to the company every year.
However, even if there are hundreds of flowers in the music scene and there are many talented people, everyone feels that it is always a little bit less interesting.
Since the debut of Black Hole, an album in Chinese or English has been released almost every year, which seems to be like a sketch by Uncle Heitu in the Spring Festival Gala, which has become a look forward to everyone's every year.
At that time, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, but since the Black Hole was suspended, everyone found that there were suddenly fewer good songs.
At the top of the charts are still the old songs of the black hole, which are occasionally squeezed out by new albums from newcomers or other artists, but then they will slowly climb back.
And on the new song list, in addition to those imitation songs that sound like black holes, they are some Internet songs that are popular on social media.
It seems like there's been no good rock and metal for a long time.
The reason for this, everyone found out, is because the black hole is resting.
So, more and more people are starting to care, when will the black hole rest, when will they come back?
They feel that there is no black hole, and the music scene seems to be missing something.
The news of the Black Hole Band's comeback was like a shot in the arm, which instantly cheered them up.
They're coming back!
Various music platforms have already signed new contracts with Xinghai Culture and got a new album of Black Hole, and over the years, they have never lost money for making music for Black Hole Band.
After the pre-sale channel opened on the platform, the number of appointments skyrocketed, and the increase was frighteningly exaggerated, quickly breaking all previous records.
You must know that this is an English album, and there is no precedent for English albums to hit the sales chart on domestic music platforms, because most people are still used to listening to Chinese songs.
However, when buying this album, everyone doesn't seem to think about it that much, they are like going to the supermarket to buy hot sauce, regardless of whether it is a traditional flavor or chanterelle chili, as long as it is an old godmother.
They only recognize the brand.
The Black Hole Band is that brand.
As long as it's an album by the Black Hole Band, it's all over when you buy it.
This brand influence stunned countless people and made countless people drool with envy.
As a result, Niu Li's entrepreneurial story was mentioned by countless people again, and countless versions of the story of how she saw the pearls back then were circulated, and there were even rumors that she would meet each other, and Niu Li couldn't cry or laugh when she saw it.
This album was released simultaneously around the world, and the main target of the black hole was still the overseas market.
Frank has signed a brokerage contract with Black Hole, and Xinghai Culture has officially ended its cooperation with Sony Music.
However, in view of the good cooperative relationship between the two parties before, in other businesses, Xinghai Culture still maintains close cooperation with Sony.
After the partnership was confirmed, Frank began to work intensively to promote Black Hole's new album.
He has a deep network in the music scene of the United States, and has a very good relationship with the senior management of several major record companies, and the program producers of major talk shows are also his friends, and many people want to give him face, and the show is basically arranged with a phone call.
It's just that this time he wasn't going to let the Black Hole band go on the show first, because he had listened to Black Hole's new album beforehand.
Just like the rumors, this is an album that pays tribute to Lao Zhan.
Frank thought it was just an album that was put together to gain popularity, but after listening to it, he was shocked.
Every song on this album is written for Lao Zhan, and each one is a very good work, which gives Frank a new understanding of the strength of black holes.
Given the quality of the album, he came up with a plan.
In the period before and after the funeral, he planned to organize a charity concert to commemorate Lao Zhan in the later stage, but it has not yet been confirmed.
This time, he made plans to hold the concert in Times Square in October, and the Black Hole band was one of the finalists.
The news of the concert was quickly spread by Frank, and he also personally invited many well-known singers and bands, and many of them readily agreed and expressed their willingness to go.
The news of the concert was also learned by Lao Zhan's fans, who generously donated not only to buy tickets, but also to donate a lot of money to the World Music Foundation.
Frank mobilized his network and made a big report on this charity concert, and Xinghai Culture also invested millions of dollars in promoting it.
This is the first performance of the Black Hole Band after their comeback, and it is of great significance.
After stirring up the topic, several major TV stations contacted Frank and expressed their desire to broadcast the concert live.
In the final contest between ABC and FOX, Frank chose the latter.
ABC is like a domestic CCTV, while FOX is like HN TV, the former is serious and serious, and the latter is lively and youthful.
Of course, ABC has the experience of broadcasting large-scale programs behind him, and the Super Bowl and Oscars are broadcast live by ABC, but the audience for FOX is younger, which is what Frank values the most.
ABC's audience is dominated by middle-aged and older middle-class people, whose average age is older and more resonant with Lao Zhan's concerts.
But this concert is not just about honoring Lao Zhan, Frank wants to turn it into a legacy ceremony.
He had already seen the excellence of black holes, and Lao Zhan also admired them and recommended him to cooperate with them.
Lao Zhan had a lot of support for them before he was alive, and Frank was at ease when he did this.
A generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be people who are young.
Black Hole is not for fans of Lao Zhan, they are old, they have become nostalgic, and even a little stubborn.
They can't accept and don't want to accept new music, they belong in the past.
And the future belongs to young people, and black holes also belong to young people, and their music represents the future.
What he wants to do is to help the Black Hole Band capture young audiences, and use Lao Zhan's influence to create a new golden body.
Lao Zhan was in a state of rest for a long time before he fell ill, and Frank also rested for a long time.
During this time, he regained his working condition, and he felt a few years younger.
After the news of his signing with the Black Hole Band came out, some Mi media said that it was condescending to use his identity as an agent for a Chinese band, but he scoffed at it.
Although the anti-racism campaign has been going on for decades, there are still many people in the United States who have deep-rooted racial attitudes.
Frank once brought a black singer to his current status in the era of the most serious racial discrimination, and he is also confident that he will send a Chinese band to the top of the music temple in the United States.
