Two Hundred and Thirty-Five Low-Key Debut

"What?"

Sophie got carried away and jumped up on the spot, just like the three-foot-high Kevin standing on the bed in "Home Alone", completely forgetting the embarrassment and embarrassment on her cheeks, bright eyes and flushed Her own happiness was clearly written on her cheeks, and pink bubbles burst out.

Sophie's joy also infected Kane, and he couldn't help laughing. He even forgot what he originally wanted to say, and paused before recalling, "What I want to say is, you definitely don't know, the band The album has also been officially released, and..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sophie's uncontrollable exclamation.

Sophie covered her mouth in time to avoid disturbing the atmosphere in the coffee house—although the rustling noise never stopped, Sophie still couldn't help but hopped twice on the spot, It is more effective to express one's response with body movements than words.

The smile in Kane's eyes also flowed out, "And, the band has already launched a tour. Do you think their performance includes Washington?"

"Ah!" Sophie didn't scream, but sighed shortly. She suppressed all the excitement and joy, and expressed her joy with her eyes, overflowing with happiness, and the moving voice was still gurgling in her ears. melody--

"Everyone is chasing the light."

In fact, it’s hard to say how much Sophie loves the One Day Kings band. After all, the band’s music is still too small, and there is no way to have further communication and resonance. Now Sophie’s impression is still in singing The touch and happiness of the meeting scene, that's all.

However, when I was at my lowest point and most embarrassed, first I heard "Chasing the Light" again, and then I heard two consecutive good news from a band I liked, and a little happiness filled my whole chest, that kind of joy And the joy even goes beyond the message itself.

Many times, life is that simple.

Time, gurgling like running water, the footsteps of summer have quietly turned to the other side of the earth, and the northern hemisphere has entered the autumn of November, and the king band has also embarked on a new journey.

Atlantic Records' arrangement for the band has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

On the road to success in any industry, besides strength and hard work, luck can never be ignored. Just like the gold rush, a little bit of luck may bring completely different results. It is not the most important, but Probably the most critical.

The same goes for the entertainment industry.

The success of some works is due to chance; some overnight fame is also a brilliance that cannot be replicated... Creating a top superstar also requires the full cooperation of the right time, place and people.

There are many reasons why the One Day Kings failed to make a name for themselves, and luck is one of them. Now Atlantic Records has an opportunity. Although they can't predict the future, they can't be 100% sure. What is the success rate of this opportunity? , but they decided to give it a go.

According to the original plan, Atlantic Records is going to wait for the band to finish producing their first studio album, and then according to the process, hold a press conference, shoot music videos, fully distribute goods, and officially promote it step by step, hoping that the album can win the audience's support like.

But now Atlantic Records has decided to retreat behind the scenes, giving up conventional promotion and letting this wave of radio craze slowly heat up and ferment, making full use of the advantages of word of mouth to lay a mass foundation. music that comes out".

Of course, this does not mean that Atlantic Records does nothing. They hide behind the scenes, and the first thing they do is to notify their cooperative stations to "unblock".

For the station, this is very important, because it means that the green light is on,

Hosts no longer need to take risks like Daniel, they can play according to the request of the song or personal preference.

Moreover, because Atlantic Records does not have a hard requirement for the number of plays, such a free space is very rare for a radio host. Secretly, the inner balance may be tilted a little towards the direction of the band——

This little insignificant tilt, placed among thousands of radio frequencies, may release incredible energy.

Subsequently, One Day King successfully completed all the recording work in the recording studio.

Atlantic Records released the album quietly, without any publicity, and sent Kings One Day on tour.

Although this way of debut is not as grand and grand as expected, shining with the brilliance of the spotlight, in fact, countless independent bands all set off like this.

The Magic Red band released their first studio album in 2002, "Love Songs to Jenny". This album was released by Bertusmann Records, one of the world's five largest record companies. But the album remains largely unremarkable.

In the following two years, the Maroon 5 band has been on tour, either on tour or on the way to tour, until 2004, "Love Song to Jenny" finally opened the market, won the audience's recognition, and in The following February, the band won the Newcomer of the Year award at the Grammy Awards.

At this time, the official release date of the album is still four months away, and it will be three years.

Maroon 5 is not the first band to experience such a twists and turns, and King for a Day will not be the last.

The One-Day Kings, who embarked on a tour again, seem to be the same as before signing with Atlantic Records. They still live in motels, travel on roads, and are still touring venues, and... are still unknown and unmanned Pay attention, everything is meaningless.

but it is not the truth.

The situation and situation of the band has changed dramatically.

First of all, the tour is no longer a venue for a bar or a restaurant, but a formal performance venue. Although it cannot be compared with Bruno’s venue for tens of thousands of people, it is also a medium-sized venue that can accommodate 1,000 to 3,000 people. There is no formal venue. The company is a regular venue that absolutely cannot be reserved.

Secondly, the entire tour is all under the arrangement of the company, including professional teams such as drivers, assistants, sound engineers, lighting engineers, directors, etc. This also means that the band has officially got rid of the shackles of amateur performances, and all performances have become official And professionally, the level is different.

Finally, because the capacity of the tour venue has increased significantly, Atlantic Records suggested that the One Day King Band invite one or two groups of small partners to cooperate on the tour. Greater than two performance effects.

Touring is still a tour, but it is a profession that was unimaginable before.
