King of Stage

Although the words were a bit difficult, after speaking, Cliff gradually became firmer, and even under the scorching gaze of his teammates, he could not shake his belief.

Letting out a long breath, Cliff met the eyes of his teammates, "Our situation has not changed, not only in the past few hours, but it will not change for a long time to come. We need to Facing all the unknowns, after all, this is not a fairy tale world."

"But?" Ollie said, and if Cliff hadn't had a "but" behind him, he might have exploded on the spot.

"But," it's okay, Cliff has more to say, "As Ronan said, everyone is chasing the light. Even if we give up music and bands, will life let us go? As long as the heart is still unwilling , We will never let ourselves go. So, instead of turning around with regrets and regrets, it is better to go stubbornly to the end and see what the end is, anyway, we are all bloody."

This kind of Cliff is a little strange, but also a little familiar - he is like this when he rehearses "Inborn" all night long, and when he stands on the stage and blooms to his heart's content.

"I know what I'm saying now is like another Cliff is speaking, but believe me, I don't have a split personality." Cliff could sense the suspicion in Ollie's eyes—he was in just two hours. 180 degrees changed? Just because of that song Ronan just wrote?

Apparently, Ollie didn't believe it.

So, Cliff had to make a little joke, "I just... I just want to be impulsive again, you know, like when I was eighteen. If we don't be impulsive now, maybe our life There will be no chance like this again. So, don’t continue to question me, or my reason may pull me back at any time.”

Ollie didn't buy it at all, he muttered alien language to express his dissatisfaction, and then felt Ronan's gaze, and Ollie closed his mouth.

"But obviously we need to change." Cliff just pretended not to hear, and continued to propose, "After the bar tour is over, we will embark on a road tour. What do you think?"

"Road tour?"

"Are you crazy?"

"what?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Not very sane."

The words of Ollie and Maxim echoed up and down, but Cliff cast his gaze towards Ronan, "What do you think?"

Ronan didn't speak immediately, but thought for a moment, "I don't understand, what do you mean by road tour? We don't have enough cash to continue the road trip now, do we?"

"No, no, no, it's not that kind of road tour." Cliff laughed, "The road tour you mentioned needs to find a performance venue, but it's actually a concert tour, just driving all the way to different cities It's just, it's the same thing as our current bar tour, but it's more advanced, and even Shine's level may not be able to find sponsors to complete the road tour."

Cliff's words vibrated faintly in the air, every single word could be conveyed clearly, but the meaning could not be discerned when combined.

Ronan was confused.

Ollie and Maxim also fell silent, because they had the same idea as Ronan, and obviously misunderstood what Cliff meant.

Cliff went on to explain, "I mean, it's like a street show. We go on a road trip and we go from city to city, we stop in every city, we do street shows and we raise enough cash. , and move on to the next city.”

What?

This is simply... absurd to the point of being ridiculous.

This is really a... desperate idea.

Because street performances are the lowest form of performance, even more downhill than the life of the One Day Kings over the past few years.

After all, one day the king can still receive commercial performances, not only the income is rich but also the environment is superior, and the income from one commercial performance can support half a month's life, which is much better than street artists who have no meal. Not to mention the wind and sun affected the weather.

Now, not only did the one-day king not be able to upgrade, but he also chose to return to the streets after being automatically downgraded, and then faced the wind and rain calmly like a gypsy. Is this a big step backward? Not only has the music business not been able to open up the situation, but it has to return to the original point?

However, unexpectedly, neither Ollie nor Maxim expressed any objection, but both fell into deep thought, including Ronan.

Why did Cliff make such a proposal?

In fact, it is not difficult to understand the true intention of peeling off the superficial absurdity and crudely prying into the core after serious thinking.

First, return to the original heart.

Over the years, they lingered in commercial performances, but gradually forgot the purity and simplicity of the original love of music, which gradually affected the creation of Maxim and Ollie, and all of them were reflected in their works.

Originally, it is reasonable to say that the creations should enter the mature stage after the greenness fades, and truly show the creators' talents, but they have fallen into a simple, rude, fast and convenient business model, and it is not the kind of model that can really impress the market. . It's one of the measures Scooter uses to evaluate their music.

They need to go back to simplicity.

Second, polish yourself.

The simplicity of street performances also means that artists need to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, which is a very important part of live performances; moreover, the close communication with the audience also puts forward more challenges for band performances. High requirements, they need to use music face to face to impress the audience who are always on the move.

This is not only a polishing of technology, but also a polishing of mentality and experience.

They need to get out of their impetuosity.

Third, stay focused.

For the time being, there is no need to think about the distant future. Focus on every day. On the one hand, the daily cash income keeps the band running, and on the other hand, it is the daily practice and polishing to keep the performance excellent. Every day in front of you is the most important. Instead of worrying about the future, keep your feet on the ground and move forward slowly.

The daily living space and performance status are the only important things, which allows them to temporarily put aside the trivial things such as the market, fame and fortune, success or failure, etc., and really keep focusing on music.

They need to get back their focus and cohesion.

Of course, if the band has the conditions, they can embark on a real road tour, complete the above three tasks during the long journey, and even accumulate a large number of fans, which is undoubtedly a smart way; You can only choose the basic stupid way.

Perhaps, such a stupid way is precisely the most suitable way for One Day Kings now.
