Rebirth in America
Chapter 135: Let’s Rock and Roll
Take Elvis for example. Alex thought he had musical talent and was a musical genius.
As a result, Elvis has become famous for a long time and has become what people call Elvis Presley.
Alex thought Chuck could write songs, and it turned out that Chuck actually wrote popular songs and won a good reputation on the stage.
The so-called bunny dance is Chuck's personal trick.
If it's just one person, it can only be said to be a coincidence.
The problem is that Bill, Little Richard, Chuck, etc., have all received praise from Alex. Now there is another Buddy, so everyone becomes interested in him.
Suddenly, Buddy became people's favorite, and his every move was seen and analyzed thoroughly by interested people.
When Alex proposed touring, many people were surprised. Some didn't understand, while others responded enthusiastically.
"You're crazy! Alex, you don't need to go on tour to gain popularity now. At least you have to hold a concert."
The reaction of musicians like Rudy and Mark to the news was that they just didn’t get it, they didn’t understand it. Alex has already become famous, but he still has to tour everywhere like those ordinary singers, so why bother.
Alex is not short of money, nor is he short of fame.
If you want to make money, just having a concert is much better than touring. If you want to gain popularity, it would be much better to choose some big cities and hold concerts in stadiums in these cities.
But what Alex wants is to ride in a big car and run around performing. This is not going back to the old ways, it’s really hard to understand.
The Carpenters were even more opposed to this plan. They believed that with the wealth of the Carpenters, it didn't matter whether Alex or the others could produce records. However, the Carpenters felt that the children had to find something to do. If they had nothing to do all day long, it would be boring.
But, touring? Is this a joke?
Once they were sure that Alex was not joking, they immediately objected in unison. Whether it is necessary is one of the questions, and more importantly, it is a safety issue. What if you are targeted by gangsters, or what if a fan riot breaks out.
"It doesn't matter, I will definitely bring enough bodyguards to go on the road."
"Then the money you make isn't enough to pay for the bodyguards, so why do you have to tour so hard?"
"It's nothing, I just feel too free and want to walk around and relax."
"Then you can go traveling."
"Traveling is so boring. I want more people and more excitement."
Faced with Alex's reason, the Carpenters also knew that it was unreasonable, but they had no way to convince their son. They knew that once Alex decided on something, he would usually try his best to do it.
In desperation, they had no choice but to agree to Alex's plan. However, they asked both Richard and Karen to stay home.
"Why! Why can Alex go on tour, but we have to stay at home?"
Richard was very dissatisfied with his parents' favoritism, so he yelled loudly.
"No, no, I'm going too. If my brother can go, we will go too."
Under his guidance, Karen also used to cry, throw, roll around and so on. It's just that the Carpenters have long been immune to this, and they won't let it go no matter what they say.
"Alex is older than you, and he is smarter and more sensible than you, so he can go, but you can't."
"Okay, okay! Let's wait until you grow up. Who has time to take care of you when you are so young?"
"Alex can take care of us!"
"Brother can take care of me!"
Seeing that the fire was about to burn him, Alex could only retreat under the glare of his parents' eyes. He didn't dare to vouch for his younger siblings. He knew that if he dared to step forward, he might not be able to protect himself.
"Traitor! Didn't we agree to go on tour together? How could you run away from the battlefield!"
"Damn brother! Don't run!"
Alex, who lost his younger brother and sister, had no choice but to find someone else to form a team with him and go on tour together. He thought about it and realized that in addition to a guitarist, he also needed a bassist, piano player and drummer.
As for Bass, look for Elvis. He is very popular now and has made many parents dissatisfied. Maybe he can take this opportunity to take a break.
The pianist is also easy to handle. Little Richard also wants to go on tour with Alex. Last time, he specifically asked Little Richard to confirm.
Chuck can be the drummer. This guy has been clamoring to take Alex to expand his horizons.
The so-called eye-opening is to find women after the performance. You must know that there are many young girls who are willing to spend the night with these idols and have a romantic marriage.
Alex and Buddy can serve as the main and deputy guitarists in the team. Anyway, they can take turns, whoever can play.
After deciding on the candidate, he immediately contacted the designated candidate. Except for Elvis, everyone else had no problem.
"What a pity. I've already decided to go on tour in Europe. Otherwise, I really wanted to join you."
Elvis looked regretful, it seemed Alex had chosen the wrong time. Historically, Elvis had not toured Europe at this time, but now things have changed because of Alex's appearance.
However, what has not changed is that Elvis is still hated by parents, and many news media are also adding fuel to the fire. If this continues, it may be the same as in the original time and space. In order to get rid of this criticism, Elvis ran to join the army and wasted several years in vain.
"Aren't you trying to avoid attacks from the news and public opinion? Why do you still dare to run around?"
"To avoid reporters in the United States, I went to Europe to avoid the limelight."
Alex nodded. It seemed that the brokerage company headed by Dill was not a freeloader. They had already figured out a way to deal with it, so he no longer forced others to change their original plans.
"Then I wish you a safe journey."
"I also wish you a successful tour!"
The two blessed each other and then went about their business. Elvis is a very busy man now and can't stop for a moment. He has made millions of dollars for himself and his company, a wealth he could not have imagined just a few years ago. Compared with other companies, the Carpenter Agency did not exploit Elvis very heavily, and he was very satisfied with the current environment.
Alex thought for a moment and decided to find someone else to replace Elvis. Soon, he had a new candidate, Bill Haley, who looked very much like Hua Mei Superman.
Originally, he didn't plan to find Bill. On the one hand, Bill's appearance didn't match them, and on the other hand, Bill's style didn't quite fit what he wanted. Also, Alex learned from others that Bill had a bad habit of drinking and smoking. Drinking was fine, but Alex couldn't stand it if he smoked.
However, he still wanted to find Bill Harry, because given his abilities and skills, he was indeed a good candidate.
Unexpectedly, Bill was also involved in something, and there was no way to shirk it. Faced with this situation, Alex had no choice but to find another candidate. He originally thought that it would not be difficult to form a super luxury tour team, but he did not expect that it would be so difficult.
If Richard could also perform on stage, their staff would have been ready. But he couldn't come, Elvis Presley also had something to do, and then Bill, the substitute, also had something to do.
"Hey, it's such a headache. Forget it, I'll be the bassist myself. As for the second guitarist, let's find someone with better skills from another band."
Once the matter was decided, the work went smoothly. Their first stop started in New York City. Alex's tour was not a tour in the ordinary sense. He decided to record the entire tour and get it to the TV station in time for broadcast.
The recording of TV programs in this era was not as convenient as in later generations. Before the popularization of ENG equipment (electronic acquisition equipment), TV programs were shot with movie cameras. After the shooting, the film needs to be developed and edited.
This greatly increases the production cost of TV programs and the production cycle is also very long.
These problems are not a problem for Alex. He believes that this is the only tour in his life, and it is unlikely that he will have another chance. It would be a waste not to record these performances.
After almost a year of integration, ABC TV station has gradually got back on track. There are no problems with program shooting and personnel arrangements. He just made a phone call, and a professional team would arrive immediately.
Faced with the program production staff of ABC TV station, they were stunned into silence as soon as Alex opened his mouth.
"I will use twelve cameras to shoot the whole process. As for the shooting location, you must arrange it in advance!"
Twelve cameras! How much film is wasted!
How much does it cost UU Reading www.uukanshu.net to produce such a program? What's more, Alex wanted to film every tour. In other words, they had to go with the performance team. It will take at least a whole year to shoot, which is such a huge production cost!
In Alex's opinion, there is no need to consider the cost at all.
What he asked for was the effect, and he wanted to use the best film to preserve his most shining moments.
It has been more than ten years since he came to this world. In the first few years, he was busy studying his abilities. When his younger brother Richard was born, he realized the impact of money on his family, so he started busy thinking of ways to become famous and make money.
He has been making money until now, and he feels that if he doesn't want to become a big conglomerate family like Rockefeller, Morgan, and DuPont, he should stop and rest properly now.
If the Carpenter family continues to expand, it will inevitably conflict with other interest groups, large and small. Once you enter that level, it will be difficult to back down.
When he came into contact with Hughes a long time ago, he had a vague sense of their level of struggle.
Now, he discovered that the FIB was surrounding him like vultures, and might also be following and investigating his family, so he felt that he should think clearly before moving forward.
Do we really want to kill everyone and then dominate the world like what is written in the novel? Is such a life happy or hard?
This tour can be regarded as him embarking on the road to find his own goals. In this way, he wants to find the path he will take in the future.
