King of Stage

One day the king's tour bus left without any regrets.

Then you can see four pickup trucks leaving with the bus step by step, and you can tell at a glance that they are fanatical fans who have just started to follow the tour——

They just want to be around the band all the time, lest they lose track of the band if they move a little slower.

But after you really have experience, you know that it is not necessary at all.

For one thing, the band bus is galloping on the road, and it will never stop casually. Of course, very, very occasionally it may stop at a gas station, and then some flesh and blood can board the bus, but it is still a rare case after all.

Secondly, the destination of the band is determined. They only need to go to the next city to wait. They can reunite with the band at any time, and then go to the hotel lobby to wait.

Obviously, those inexperienced fanatics didn't know this, and they followed up in a series, like a big tail that couldn't be shaken off. This reminded Juliet of herself at the beginning of the "Departure" tour. She was also full of enthusiasm , It seems that there is endless energy all over the body.

until now.

Juliet stood there, her whole body was icy cold, she stared blankly at the bus disappearing at the end of the road. However, she could barely walk, she could only move out along the wall step by step clumsily, and sat staggeringly at the entrance of the hotel lobby , casting strange sights around.

Standing on the sidelines, people can't understand her state, this kind of misfortune and pain, there is no way to empathize with strangers they have never met, and the huge loneliness and helplessness swallowed her soul.

Bitter cold.

Not far away, the bustling knights are also gathering one after another. Although they are not in a hurry, they also need to prepare for the next stop. The enthusiasm of the discussion has opened the eyes of other hotel guests. Discussing the situation here.

Roughly looking at it, the team of more than 100 people is indeed magnificent, but if they know that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the team following in the footsteps of the king for a day, I am afraid that they will be even more surprised and shocked.

Raising her head, Juliet looked at those familiar and unfamiliar faces, at a loss.

"Juliet."

"Joker" Joaquin came over, "Are you okay?" he said, "Aren't you going on the road with us?"

Juliet looked up at Joaquin in a ignorant manner. The face that usually looked ridiculous, but now revealed a little sincerity amidst the restraint. Involuntarily, Juliet nodded slightly,

"Well, I'll be right there."

Then Joaquin smiled.

Juliet felt that Joaquin seemed less like a clown.

When the "Departure" tour arrived in Los Angeles, two full weeks had passed in 2014. Christmas and New Year's Day seemed to be a thing of the last century, and even the fifty-sixth Grammy Awards ceremony was less than a week away , the world seems to have turned a new page.

Since the start of the tour, six months have passed with the flick of a finger. The excitement and excitement of the Washington stage seems to be yesterday, and the end of the Los Angeles stage is just around the corner. I have seen the end before I have time to savor it. A wonderful dream isolated from the world, residing in the Neverland, where time stands still, and both life and the world fall into a vacuum——

There, the sun will never set, the forest will never wither, and the sea will never dry up; there, the joy will never stop, the laughter will never disappear, and the singing will never be silent...they just jump to their heart's content Dancing, singing, roaring, releasing and reckless, until the end of time.

Life blooms gorgeous flowers in the endless desert.

This is true for everyone involved in the tour, from the audience to the crew to the city dwellers.

Juliet is no exception, but it's not just that, her world is turned upside down, and in the blink of an eye, she can never go back to the past.

After the short farewell in Salt Lake City, Juliet fell into a grand and grand sorrow, unable to extricate herself. Although she followed the knights on the road again, she was always drunk and dreamy, all the way west, drowning herself in sorrow and pain. Shen Shen, the world fell into nothingness.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Juliet decided to drown her grief in the crowd.

That night, The Republic performed at the Staples Center—

They kicked off the international tour "Primitive Nature" starting from Italy in April last year. The entire tour lasted for ten months, and this week they also arrived in Los Angeles. The tour of the North American continent, this journey is far from over.

According to Juliet's understanding, the performance of the third studio album of the Republic Era was not satisfactory, so this tour lasted from 2013 to 2015, and a super long march covering the whole world was booked early, but unexpectedly, the tour Less than one-third of the time, "Counting the Stars" successfully broke out, pulling the band back from the edge of the cliff, and the career was rejuvenated with new vitality.

It is precisely because of this that when the Republic Era returned to the North American continent, the concert tickets were sold out and hard to find.

Juliet's friend, Michele-Tamir, also in Los Angeles, just said goodbye to Blur's frontman Damon-Albarn, and was at a low point, desperate for some distraction.

So Juliet and Michelle rendezvous and head to the Staples Center to see if they can fool the doorman into sneaking in.

However, the big black towers at the door didn't buy it at all. No one believed that the two girls knew Ryan-Tedder, the lead singer and producer of the Republic era. Words ridicule their overreach.

This made both Juliet and Michelle furious, and strengthened their determination to prove themselves.

Both the Republic Era and One Day King lived in the Plaza Hotel. To be precise, many rock bands like to live in the Plaza Hotel when they are on tour, because this hotel has three exits on three streets, even the paparazzi It is also difficult to track their whereabouts by following - at the same time, it is convenient for them to come in and out with their flesh and blood.

Also derived from the same reason, the Plaza Hotel is known as the "marriage / extramarital / love / concentration place".

This is good news for Juliet and Michelle, since they can easily sneak into the hotel and wander around from place to place.

After entering the hotel, they shuttled through the corridors on different floors, followed the sound of guitar tuning, and bravely knocked on the door.

And then they found Cathy Musgraves—

One day, as the opening guest of the king, she opened the door of the room and gracefully invited them into the room. Obviously, she was not unfamiliar with the existence of the flesh and blood, and she was even used to it. This has become an indispensable part of the tour.
