Chapter 109: Fame Determines Status
The bitter cold of Matsue Prefecture does not seem to affect the enthusiasm in the hearts of rock fans at all. The annual Kitayama Music Festival is also regarded by many rock fans as one of the few rock music events that can be enjoyed once.
Compared to the early years, there were many such rock festivals, but rock music began to decline, and some rock festivals have gone sour. Only the North Mountain Music Festival only invites veteran and new rock newcomers to participate in the festival.
At present, some rock bands that are still slightly famous in China will also use this music festival to increase their popularity. For rock newcomers, this stage is naturally very good.
Xu Shan, who had already walked to the stage yesterday, was also full of expectations and apprehensions for the upcoming performance. After all, this stage he once wanted to aspire to, and today he will stand on this stage as the lead singer of the band.
Xu Shan, who got up early in the morning, looked at Zhao Wei, who was also waiting early in the morning, and asked, "Xiaowei, when will the boss come over?" ”
'I guess it's going to be a little later!' They played late last night, but will definitely come over today. Today is the band's first performance, and all the people from our studio are here to cheer you on! ’
As Xu Shan's assistant, Zhao Wei naturally knew what the song Xu Shan was going to sing today. Even if he is not a rock music lover, he can feel the charm of Xu Shan's songs, and he is looking forward to the effect of the performance.
Just as the other band members got up one after another, looking at the text messages from their mobile phones, Zhao Wei said with a little joy: "Brother Shan, the boss and they are also up, and they are dining at the hotel where they are staying, and he will go to the stage to meet us later." ”
'Okay, then let's hurry up and eat and get ready for battle!' ’
'Kill! ’
For the band members gathered by Xu Shan, the treatment they are currently given by the studio may not be as impressive as they were in the bar earlier. But as the band members know, this is just the beginning.
Once Xu Shan can really sing and become famous, then as a member of the band, they will also have more income and even fame. After all, the lead singer of the band is somewhat different from them.
In a word, the band ultimately depends on the lead singer, the more popular Xu Shan is, the more things they will gain!
There are also many bands like Xu Shan who began to prepare, and the hotels booked by the program team are full of young people dressed up with guitars on their backs. In addition to young band members and singers, there are also many middle-aged rock singers.
It can be said that this is not only a feast for rock fans, but also a rare opportunity for Yanhuang rock singers to compete on stage. As for the most popular fan award set by the music festival, the prize money of 500,000 yuan is actually not much.
When Xu Shan and the others finished eating, looking at their teammates who were dressed and prepared one after another, Xu Shan clapped his hands and said, "Brothers, it's time to go!" Today will be the debut of our Mountain Cannon Band, only success, not failure! Dry! ”
'! ’
The Mountain Cannon Band is also the name of the band that was finally determined by Xu Shan and others after consultation and after consulting Zhao Tiehu's opinion. Of course, in a sense, the Mountain Cannon Band is a band dedicated to serving Xu Shan.
When Xu Shan set off for the singing scene in a nanny car, many band members who were also preparing to travel were somewhat envious of the treatment of Xu Shan and his party. After all, many of them came at their own expense!
Although the organizing committee provides instruments for the band to play, many rockers prefer their own equipment. Tossing back and forth with these musical instruments, it is naturally not possible to travel without a vehicle.
Compared with the small trucks that most of them rented, the nanny car in which Xu Shan and others sat undoubtedly looked much more upscale. No matter what they feel in their hearts at the moment, they are all holding back their energy, planning to compete with Xu Shan and others on the stage!
When Xu Shan and his entourage arrived at the backstage of the singing, Xu Shan, who was scheduled to take the stage at half past eleven at noon, undoubtedly got a good time. At this time, fans who come for the festival will basically come to the scene.
As the nanny car stopped, Zhao Wei, who got out of the car first, said in a timely manner: "Brother Shan, there are many reporters outside!" ”
Everyone who heard this also hurriedly sorted out their clothes and got out of the car one after another. Soon, a reporter said: "Look, it's Xu Shan from Wenbin's studio!" Let's go, hurry up and interview! ”
Looking at these reporters coming around, Zhao Wei also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fellow reporters, please let me go, we are going in!" ”
'Xu Shan, can I interview you a few words?' ’
For artist assistants like Zhao Wei, most reporters will ignore them. When Zhu Xinglin, who was in charge of protecting the safety of Xu Shan and others, stepped forward and stopped these reporters who were trying to interview, Xu Shan also walked over with the band members.
As a newcomer singer who has just debuted, Xu Shan knows very well that he can't offend these reporters. It is rare to have a reporter interview, and this kind of opportunity will naturally not be missed. After all, they are here to become famous when they participate in the festival this time!
He stepped forward with a smile and said, "Hello media friends! I'm Xu Shan, the lead singer of the Mountain Cannon Band! ”
The band members who stayed by Xu Shan's side also introduced themselves one after another under Xu Shan's instructions. And at this time, many reporters also took pictures. After all, this is also the first appearance of the Mountain Cannon Band!
After taking the photo, a reporter quickly said: "Xu Shan, can you tell me what songs you have prepared today?" ”
Regarding this question, Xu Shan smiled and said: "Five songs have been prepared today, and two of them have already announced the sound source. In addition, for the festival, we rehearsed three new original rock songs. ”
'Are they all written and composed by Lu writers?' Can you tell us the title of the song? ’
Yes, our boss wrote the lyrics and composed the music himself. As for the title of the song, the program team has regulations and cannot be announced to the public for the time being, please forgive me from the media! ’
'Xu Shan, among the songs you performed today, are there any songs that fans pay attention to? ’
Since knowing that Xu Shan will attend the Beishan Music Festival, many rock fans who know Lu Wenbin from the Rock Alliance are looking forward to the song 'Born to Wander', which was sung in a bar, and will appear on the stage of this music festival.
Facing this reporter's inquiry, Xu Shan was stunned and said: "I am very grateful to the fans for their attention to us, but this time there is no song in the song we sang." Although I personally liked the song, it was not scheduled this time.
However, fans don't need to be too anxious, we have rehearsed that song a few times, but we are not too proficient in rehearsals. If you have the opportunity in the future, I believe that everyone will be able to hear the live stage of this song. ”
Some rock singers who arrived on the performance stage one after another, looking at Xu Shan and others who were surrounded by reporters, also had a feeling of not having the same fate. are all rock singers, why do those reporters pay attention to Xu Shan, a pure rookie singer?
In desperation, some singers could only say sourly: "Who calls someone to have a good boss!" ”
When the security personnel arranged by the organizing committee arrived, urging Xu Shan and others to enter, Xu Shan also ended the interview in time and walked into the stage with the band members to wait for the stage. At this moment, a large number of fans have begun to gather in the square.
Screens set up around the plaza allow fans to see the arrival of the festival's singers. And the scene of Xu Shan and others being interviewed also appeared on the display screen.
Lu Wenbin, who had already arrived at the performance site, got up and went backstage after Chen Youliang was optimistic about Adi Lisa and others. As the boss of the Mountain Cannon Band, Lu Wenbin wants to enter the backstage, so naturally there is no problem.
Knowing that Lu Wenbin was coming backstage, the executive manager of the organizing committee, who was backstage, also stepped forward to greet him in person: "Writer Lu, welcome!" ”
'Manager Chen, that's so polite! I want to see how Xu Shan and they are preparing, no problem, right? ’
Of course not! At this time, they should be preparing to wait, I'll lead you over! ’
'Excuse me! ’
'There! Speaking of which, this time the music saved so many media, thanks to the band recommended by Writer Lu! I'm also looking forward to their performance today! ’
I believe that Xu Shan and the Mountain Cannon Band will not disappoint you and the fans who really love rock and roll! ’
As a newcomer band, although the program team gave Xu Shan and others a better performance time, they did not prepare a separate waiting room for them. Entering the public waiting room, the noisy environment inside made Lu Wenbin frown slightly.
But Lu Wenbin still didn't say anything, he knew that every rookie singer must experience such a scene when he debuts. Only when Xu Shan is really famous, maybe the next time they come back, they will also have a separate waiting room.
Fame determines status, and this applies to actors as well as singers! Therefore, the road to fame for Xu Shan and others is still very long!
