Chapter 12 Inversion

"The audience for pure rock music is too small."

Jiang Ye then expressed his thoughts, "A lot of people go to the music festival, but there are only a few who really understand it."

Looking at the bands that became famous at music festivals in the past, none of them became popular because of their most musical and rock-like works.

The essence of becoming popular is that he compromised with the market and created popular works with catchy melodies, which made him stand out.

For example, "rock poet" Xu Wei, who played with art and concepts in the early days, also remained silent for many years; once he transitioned to pop, he became popular immediately.

There is also Wan Qing, who was praised as a god in his previous life. It is estimated that 90% of the young people who go to the music festival to join in the fun have never even heard of it.

Peng Yuan rubbed his chin and did not refute.

How could he not know the truth of being high-minded and modest?

Most of the audience does not understand the theory of musical instruments and relies solely on their sense of hearing and fresh ideas. It is nonsense to come to a music festival to join in the fun and act cool and expect these young people to appreciate pure rock music.

Jiang Ye continued: "I think pop rock is more popular and accepted, and is more suitable for performing at music festivals. There is no need to deliberately pursue a niche."

Music is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. Everyone has a different level of understanding and understanding.

In Jiang Ye's view, rock and roll is not only about skull and scalp jackets, but also about guitar solos, bass hums, and drum rhythms.

The spiritual core of rock and roll is rebellion, subversion, daring to break the shackles, and freedom.

When you insist on defining rock and roll or labeling rock and roll, the thing itself is not so "rock and roll".

"The band usually performs at least three songs at the music festival, "Floating to the North" and "Stubborn"." Lin Sen stared at Jiang Ye without blinking, "I welcome pop rock, but what about the third song?"

Jiang Ye categorically said: "Yes, I'll use my own song."

Yesterday when Wang Zihao talked about the theme song of "Dream Westward Journey", he had an idea.

There is also "Journey to the West" in this time and space, and the stories in it are also well-known to every household.

For an online game with Journey to the West as its background, according to Song Gongzi’s requirements, the theme song should not only fit the story content, but also conform to the aesthetics of young players.

It's burning enough, passionate enough, and it's best if it's lighthearted and humorous.

Eno was so lucky that he had a choice in an instant. Moreover, this song is suitable for performing at music festivals. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

In the end, Lin Sen and Peng Yuan agreed to his proposal.

On the way back from the meeting, Yao Xiao asked curiously: "Your creative energy is a bit amazing recently. We have known each other for six years, and I don't know when you gained such a hidden skill."

"I used to keep a low profile." How could Jiang Ye tell the truth? He raised the corner of his mouth and said in a confused way: "You don't know much."

After two days of rehearsal, they began to record the demo of the new song in preparation for the music festival.

Despite the company's statement, public opinion is still moving in an unfavorable direction.

At this moment, another person involved in the nightclub incident came forward to speak.

On the 24th, Song Mingxuan, the founder of the sky-high-priced wine bureau that night, posted a blog about the incident and publicly expressed support for [dream5].

Among the four young men in the capital, Mr. Song is the youngest and has the highest net worth. He is suave, domineering and has as many fans on Weibo as some celebrities.

So Song Gongzi, who hasn’t updated his news for a long time, personally participated in the circle fight?

Naturally, it attracted a bunch of crazy people, which also pushed the topic of this matter to a new high.

Song Mingxuan posted several photos on his Weibo, which are certificates of his personal donations to mountainous primary schools and disaster-stricken areas in recent years. Each donation amounted to more than one million.

——“The most annoying thing about my team’s game is when someone secretly takes photos and does things behind my back. It’s so mean.

I like [dream5]’s songs and would like to collaborate if there is a chance.

Music and art both serve the public. Some people who claim to be underground are stubborn and self-sufficient. If they can't make it in the community and still get angry and attack others, they are slandering rock and roll!

The Internet has memory. I don’t usually post it when doing charity, so there is no need to show off.

Now someone is ruining the fun and spoiling the situation. I have to force myself to open a bottle of wine with my legal income. Then open your eyes and see clearly. When did I donate less than 1 million?

Don’t get sick every day. If you have the ability, donate tens of millions to try again.”

The person involved's coming forward has a much greater impact than an official public relations statement from Tianyou.

Many fans who were initially led to believe that Wang Zihao was spending millions on drinks and extravagant consumption gradually returned to the facts and made new judgments.

"The situation has opened up. Disco music is just a normal form of entertainment. It doesn't matter what the rhythm is."

"The exorbitantly priced wine shop that you think is just someone else's daily life, something that is surprising. This time, I stand by Song Gongzi. There are so many people who spend money like that in nightclubs. How many of them can donate like him?"

"Young Master Song is so generous, I support you. People are free to spend the money they earn how they want, and there is no need to hold them back morally."

"I want to ask you, what is the essential difference between this and being a satirical critic of a small town?"

"My teammates are really innocent... I don't care how they spend their money, do they just think the songs are good? If the work is good, why don't you want them to make more money?

If it weren't for the song "Stubborn" at that time, the topic of being a question maker in a small town would not have attracted so much attention."

"As a volunteer teacher in a mountainous area, I can see the positive impact that works such as "Drifting to the North" and "Stubborn" have on students. They are positive and uplifting. This is enough.

We are all born differently, and this topic [Becoming a Problem Maker in a Small Town] is to encourage everyone to pursue their dreams bravely regardless of their origins..."

The direction of public opinion has gradually changed.

Regarding the topic of "pseudo rock", there are also more tolerant and open thinking and rational discussions, and it is no longer just a matter of venting emotions.

"I think Mr. Song's words, music and art serve the public, are right. Who stipulates that minority means pure, noble and tasteful?"

"Some people have sour grapes mentality and are nakedly jealous. If you really have the ability, don't just curse, let your works speak for themselves."

"Rock and roll is a kind of spirit, not only heavy metal is called rock and roll."

"What's the point of arguing about these? It's a false proposition in itself. With all due respect, many people argue and argue just to show that they are different."

"Whether you rock or not is not determined by commercialism, but by your work. Rock and roll is a style and an attitude, and it is not meant to make you show off."

There are new things happening on the Internet every day. With the turmoil caused by the nightclub incident, public opinion is finally not one-sided.

At the same time, the music festival's publicity is overwhelming. As the first stop of the summer cultural event, more than a hundred media are paying attention to its developments.

On May 25, [Lime Music Festival] officially released the theme poster and specific performance list, and officially opened ticket sales.

[Lime Music Festival] is a long-established original music festival in this time and space, focusing on rock and roll. With more than ten years of development, its scale and brand influence rank among the top three of the major domestic music festivals.

This year, 27 bands were invited to participate, and nearly 200,000 music fans flocked from all over the country.

Starting from June 1st, the three-day performance will be broadcast live online on more than ten platforms.

The protagonist on the first day is a folk singer, and on the second day is electronic music. [dream5] is scheduled to appear on the busiest and most important night of the third day, followed by two rock bands for the finale.

If it weren't for Tianyou Entertainment's status in the industry, Jiang Ye and the others would not have been able to attend such a show.

On June 2nd, Tianyou sent the new song recorded by [dream5] to [Morning Star Interactive Entertainment] to apply for the theme song of Song Mingxuan's new game.

During the last rehearsal that night, the five of us had never been to a music festival, so we were very excited about it.

Although it is not as profitable as a concert or a large-scale party, music festivals are a kind of affirmation that all musicians want to gain.

Especially in a crisis, I want to reflect my own value through strength.

"This song really rekindled my dignity as a musician." Yao Xiao said with sweat on his head.

Gu Chuan was named "Happy Drummer" by Yao Xiao. Every time he gets tired from practicing and gets high, he always has a smile on his face: "Even if the band is disbanded tomorrow because of the criticism, it's worth it to attend a music festival."

"You don't blame me, but it makes me feel a little guilty." Wang Zihao admitted that he was under great pressure, "I even like the new song more than "Stubborn", my friend, the whole soul is bursting!"

Gao Xin strummed the guitar twice in a fancy way and said gratefully: "Thank you, boss, for guiding me. This time I can have a greater sense of presence."

Because there was a guitar solo in the song for him to show off, and Jiang Ye obviously played the guitar well.

Of course Jiang Ye is confident in his choice, and he is not targeting anyone...

Okay, skip the awkward talking part.

Leave it to tomorrow and let this song prove everything with facts on the stage!
