Chapter 40: The Seed of Confusion
Shameless begging for tickets and collections! That's it!
On July 1, 1980, a little Liv's birthday party was held in the morning, and the little girl was already walking without hindrance, so at the buffet-style party, I saw the little guy holding Caesar's hand and walking around, even eating and drinking and having fun. When you're tired, let Caesar hold it, and then wander around when you've rested enough.
Elizabeth was a little jealous when she saw it, because Caesar was obedient to the little girl, she gave her whatever she wanted, and she could get a hug without saying anything when she was tired, and this little guy enjoyed it much more than she was a mother.
The party ended quickly, as the evening was the first unplugged concert by the "Aerosmith Band" and the first unplugged concert in rock history. Because of the heavy meaning, it was placed on the same day as Liv Taylor's birthday.
Before twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Caesar had already boarded a flight to New York with little Liv.
As with the choice in previous lives, the first unplugged show was still held in New York's "Madison Square Garden".
The status of this venue will not be repeated here, please be interested in Baidu, it is best to go over the wall and Google.
Caesar chose this venue because of its status as a temple of modern art and sports. Jackson, Jordan, Ali ...... In fact, it is because of the miraculous performances of superstars of this level in this stadium that this venue is famous in the universe.
There are many singers or groups in Asia who claim to sing in this venue, but there are not many people in Asia who are really qualified to perform in this venue. Hisaishi is counted as one, and only the Beyond band during the lead singer period of Xiangjiang Huang Jiaju and Jay Chou in Wanwan can be the only one in the Chinese music scene.
This is not presumptuous, after all, modern music and even modern art are initiated and promoted by Westerners, and there is really a lack of people from generation to generation in China.
It's like traditional arts such as cross talk opera in China, Westerners must come to China to kneel if they want to learn it. The most important thing for people is to find their place, isn't it?
And in the United States, there are not many superstars worthy of this venue.
When Caesar was negotiating cooperation with several parties, he had some discussions with the owner of the venue, and he hoped that Madison Square would develop in the direction of a mecca for entertainment and sports, just like in his previous life.
Host world-renowned sporting events such as boxing championships, NBA All-Star Races, Snooker Masters, concerts by top singers or bands, top circuses and cabaret theatre.
Anyway, New Yorkers who sit on Wall Street are not short of money, so let the top events and performances blow up the spiritual world of New Yorkers.
Whether at home or abroad, if you want to perform at Madison Square, you must be reviewed, from artistic level to popularity.
Many so-called stars who are not well-known in their state or country, or even scolded, will tour the world at every turn, and the New York station must choose Madison Square to be gilded, even if they can't sell tickets and pay for them.
It seems that after performing once in this so-called "holy place", he is really sanctified, and he is bragging about headlines everywhere.
Caesar advised the other party not to make a little money, and the cat and dog waved the money and wanted to brush the prestige and immediately agreed, this kind of stupid fork to brush the prestige came too much, and the reputation of the "Madison Square" holy place was completely ruined, and finally became a third-rate venue.
Caesar said this mainly to elevate the "stargrid" of Smith's spaceship, and also to snuff out the "gilded journey" of many musicians who had particularly disgusted him in his previous life.
At 7 p.m., Caesar took little Liv to Madison Square an hour early.
By this time, the site had been almost laid out, and most of it was arranged according to Caesar's construction.
A small stage with a height of one meter is erected on one side of the venue, and the audience seats start to spread out in a semi-enclosed posture from the close distance at the foot of the stage.
The stage is filled with flowers and colored candles, and the stage lighting is as soft as possible, so that at first glance it is impossible to associate with Aerosmith.
Caesar sat comfortably in the audience with little Liv in his arms, watching the staff finally debug and test the musical instruments and audio equipment, during which he also ate a piece of "meat sandwich bun" brought from home with little Liv, of course, it was the Li family's homemade honey-glazed beef with lettuce and two slices of bread.
Caesar never eats junk food such as "Kaifeng vegetables" (if you think this is a regional attack, please spend your own time, and then find a place to bleed to apologize), and she does not allow her family to eat it.
At 6:50 p.m., when the audience was full, Stephen Taylor himself came down to greet Caesar, and picked up his daughter and kissed him, making the little one giggle with stubble.
In the end, although Caesar did not refuse very strongly, he was still forced onto the stage by Stephen.
Soon the audience recognized the American prodigy and responded with warm applause.
Although the Smith spacecraft at this time was very popular, it was much worse than two thousand years later than in the previous life.
In '98, Aerosmith's status was already the godfather of rock and roll, but the song "i-don't-want-to-miss-a-thing" composed for the movie "The Peerless Apocalypse" pushed their status to the top of the world, and even reached the point of household name in the English-speaking region of the world.
At that time, Stephen Taylor stood up as soon as he appeared at the performance venue. Moreover, his fans constitute the largest number of Chinese sports stars.
Today, Spaceship Smith has no influence at all, and the applause given to them seems to be similar to that given to Caesar.
Pressed for time, Stephen quickly greeted the audience first, and then explained the purpose of the unplugged movement, and the "unplugged movement" was initiated by Caesar, and Aerosmith was the first band to respond.
Stephen said that he hopes the audience will see a different Smith spaceship, as well as the amazing prodigy Caesar.
At seven o'clock, the lights of the entire stadium were darkened, and only the candles on the stage and the two soft ceiling lights emitted a dreamlike light.
Under the magical light, the whole band sat uncharacteristically on the barstool and stood still, looking exceptionally quiet and mysterious, including the special guest Caesar, as if they were draped in a mysterious aura.
As several people play the instruments, the guitar, dulcimer, banjo, and bass drum combine to form a crisp and pleasant sound, and the cheerful and agile music spreads out along the amplification of the microphone.
The opening of the vocal instrumental piece "Dulcimer-Stomp" was agreed upon within the band, which was originally an instrumental piece that preceded the song "The-Other-Side", but was rearranged to have this unplugged version.
Since the unplugged initiator is the MTV music station led by Caesar, the live broadcast is also exclusive to the MTV side.
The audience in the audience and in front of the TV was surprised to find that the only guitarist of this opening song was Caesar, a special guest, and the original guitarist and bassist of the band were playing the banjo, and the original second guitarist, the rhythm guitarist, was playing the dulcimer...... The drummer just taps the bass drum with his bare hands. Lead singer Taylor has a bamboo whistle in his mouth, and from time to time inserts a night owl-like whistle with the rhythm.
Judging from the scene alone, this is a strange but perfectly balanced combination, and the only dissonance is Caesar's hairstyle.
In this era of longer and longer rockers' hair, starting with the Beatles, Caesar's ordinary-looking ultra-short round hairstyle, second only to baldness, has become an alternative among the other.
In the eyes of many teenage music fans offstage and in front of the TV, Caesar's hairstyle and the slightly flared jeans he wears and the pure black half-sleeved shirt absolutely complement each other, and the combination of simplicity makes people feel more rock and roll than rock.
In the eyes of the entertainment industry executives in front of the television, what they see is a superstar seedling who is likely to have no tattoos, no piercings, no long hair, no fights, no drugs, and can make the whole of the United States, the whole West, or even the whole world crazy for teenagers just by his works.
The racial advantage of the mixed race of the four elite races allowed Caesar to easily gain the approval of fans on both sides of the East and the West, and if done well, both sides would treat him as their own, except for a very few racial elements.
With an extremely excellent appearance and excellent work output as a support, this is a small seedling that can easily squeeze out hundreds of millions of dollars.
In the eyes of these investors, the only thing to worry about is Caesar's growth.
Will he start to lose shape when he grows up? Eighteen changes in women's colleges, and men are actually the same. Will he find out when he turns eighteen that he has grown ugly?
Will he go down the wrong path during the rebellious period? If you treat him as a pure superstar now to promote and cultivate, what if he gets drugs, fights, alcoholism, and ** in the future?
He is constantly working now, what if he runs out of creative inspiration in the future?
Do you want to watch again or bet now?
Caesar didn't know that there were a lot of old guys who were struggling with their futures, and after an opening song, he felt like his rock switch was turned on.
