Chapter 60: The Singing Club
After staying in the magic capital for a day, Locke went to Hangzhou non-stop, where he was going to do three activities, a signing concert, a singing club, and a radio interview.
It only took a few hours to get to Hangzhou by taking the highway from the magic capital to Hangzhou, and Locke fell asleep on the back seat because he was too tired. Assistant Jiang and the others had to wake him up, Locke opened his eyes in a daze, and he said to Assistant Jiang, "What's the matter, have you arrived?"
Assistant Jiang said to him helplessly: "It's here, get out of the car quickly." You're also very tired, so let's eat, take a shower and sleep. ”
It's only the first day, and Locke is a little tired, and the future propaganda will only be even more tiring. He propped his hand on the seat and slowly got out of the car.
With heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, Hangzhou has been an important commercial town since ancient times. As an important part of the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou Industrial Zone, Hangzhou's economy and population are growing rapidly.
The album's sales on the second day came out, not counting online sales, and a total of more than 32,000 copies were bought, which was a decline from the first day, but it managed to keep the sales of 30,000 copies. This result was considered a poor result in his eyes, and he sold 67,000 records in two days.
The next morning, Locke's first concert was held at the Provincial Children's Art Theater. The organizers are Huayi Brothers and Kowloon Games (Chen Yuanqiao acts as an agent for Miracle Company), and at present, Locke has not attracted new advertisers to sponsor, so he can only eat the old book first, but newcomers have always been like this.
This small singer club is planned to have 1,000 people, but what I didn't expect was that there were really a lot of fans who came, according to the preliminary statistics of the staff, there were about 1,200 people. Locke also had a hard time, whether to let them in, after all, the venue inside could accommodate so many people. But it's unfair to let everyone in and to the fans who bought the tickets. Locke was really overwhelmed.
Assistant Jiang naturally hoped that the more people there were, the better, so he discussed with the person in charge of the song club, and decided to let those audiences who did not buy tickets enter the venue by making up tickets.
Not long after, Locke appeared in a small suit and top hat with sunglasses, simple and fashionable, and full of coolness. As soon as he appeared, he caused fans to scream.
Locke knows how to use his strengths, and his favorite clothes are small suits and the like, because then he can perfectly show off his hard-earned figure.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to listen to my singing club during the day. As soon as Locke appeared on the stage, he greeted the fans below in a not very proficient Hangzhou dialect, and the sense of distance between the two sides was instantly reduced.
The host is also famous in Hangzhou, and he said in Mandarin: "I didn't expect Locke to speak our Hangzhou dialect." Are you from Hangzhou?"
"I'm not from Hangzhou, but I can speak a little Hangzhou......" Locke said playfully
"Hehe, since you want to learn Hangzhou dialect, we will definitely support you, don't you say!"
Fans have always liked Locke, and now they are fellow countrymen, so it couldn't be more kind. Today, Locke's singing club is mainly to promote his own record, and his first song is "This Life Will Not Change", which directly set off a small high ~ tide on the scene.
After singing "This Life Will Not Change", Locke did not stop, but took off his top hat and gently threw it into the audience.
The music became rhythmic, and the melody of "My Future Is Not a Dream" gradually sounded, and it was an action-packed song with a strong sense of rhythm.
Are you like me bowing your head in the sun,
Sweating silently and hard work;
Are you like me, even if you suffer indifference,
Nor do you give up on the life you want;
You're not like I'm busy pursuing all day,
the pursuit of an unexpected tenderness;
Are you like I once bewildered,
Wandering the cross streets one at a time;
Locke only sang a few words, and the guitar he played suddenly had a tenacious struggle and never-say-die spirit, which made everyone in the audience spontaneously rise from the bottom of their hearts.
- because I don't care what others say,
I've never forgotten me,
Commitment to oneself, dedication to love——
Locke's performance of the guitar is strong and powerful, and vividly expresses the pursuit of young people's dreams and unremitting efforts! The inspiring lyrics, and then through Locke's affectionate singing, make people feel extraordinarily heartfelt and resonate!
In addition, I have to say that Locke's singing voice is very bright and full, like a soft and transparent jade, and like a clear and deep sky, with a strong sense of penetration, which resonates with the audience very much and touches the hearts of the audience!
Who doesn't have a dream?
Who doesn't have setbacks?
This song has been perfectly interpreted by Locke, and it has successfully inspired everyone, for the dream, for the future, don't give up, as long as there is a pursuit, everything is not a dream!
At this time, Locke's performance also reached the stage of high (harmonious) tide -
I know my future is not a dream,
I live every minute seriously;
My future is not a dream,
My heart is moving with hope;
My future is not a dream,
I live every minute seriously;
My future is not a dream,
My heart moves with hope,
Follow the hope!
- My future is not a dream,
My heart moves with hope,
Follow the hope!
As Locke's fingers fell, the tail note gradually dissipated, and his singing ended, and he calmed down a little and stood up.
There was silence in the scene at this time, and the sound of a needle falling could be heard, and all the audience's eyes were invariably looking at Locke and the host.
At this time, the host came to the stage and said: "Since Locke has come to our Hangzhou, our fellow villagers in Hangzhou must be enthusiastic!
"Locke, have you ever eaten our special snacks in Hangzhou?" asked the host with a smile.
Touching his nose, Locke said embarrassedly: "I've eaten a little bit, such as crab roe soup dumplings, fried pears and so on." ”
The host continued: "You have a good day today, your fans have brought a lot of delicious food to the scene, let them bring them one by one." ”
At this time, several excited female fans came out of the fans below, and they all brought special food without exception. "This is fragrant pine-blood glutinous rice, shrimp and eel noodles. ”
The host told Locke about this, and Locke generously ate a little bit of each, and said while eating: "Mmmm, it's very good, it's delicious." ”
After eating the food, Locke played games with the fans for a while, and had a small interaction with them, and the time was slowly passed in laughter.
The climax of the song club passed in Locke's "Wukong", which is Locke's most well-known song so far, and it quickly spread with the popularity of the sequel to Journey to the West.
"Can you sing, sing with me!" Locke was a little high now, and he said loudly to the audience, and of course the reply he got was naturally OK.
This song is still quite difficult to sing, but under Locke's leadership, the audience began to sing aloud.
A loud chorus of a thousand people was spectacular. Locke couldn't imagine what it would be like for tens of thousands of people to sing together if there was a concert in the future. It's a little early to talk about concerts, after all, the number of songs is less than half of the concerts.
"Do you like my songs? We will see you at Hangzhou Wulin Square this afternoon!" Finally, Locke did not forget to put a small advertisement for his signing party.
Locke's schedule is full, the song club ends in the morning, the book signing in the afternoon, and the radio interview tomorrow.
However, no matter how tired he was, he felt that it was worth it. Today is the third day of album sales, and one of the most important stats is about to be revealed. Three-day sales are an important measure of an album's success.
Back at the hotel, Locke didn't have time to eat, and went directly to the Internet, wanting to see if his songs had improved. What makes him happy is that "Wukong" has entered Du Niang's new song list, although the position is very low, but there will always be people who move forward slowly, but "I Want to Become an Immortal" has gone one step further and entered the top ten!
