Three Hundred and Seven Bold Ideas

Thanks to the development of modern technology, Ronan can still prepare for the Grammy stage at his own pace even if the One Day King is still on tour.

But despite this, they can keep in touch all the time, but after all, there is no way to concentrate on preparing in the recording studio, and the effect is still affected, so Ronan and the band members are very nervous. Doing extra exercises with great excitement.

Looking forward to a perfect performance, not only Ronan alone, but also the four band members and Alice are all doing their best.

"Ha, the legendary stage." Curtis's laughter carried a meaningful interpretation, but he didn't say much, because he was also looking forward to such a result, "So first of all, have you decided on the repertoire?"

"'My Demon' and 'Stressed-Out' (Note 1)." Ronan gave the answer.

Curtis was slightly surprised, because there was no result discussed yesterday, and because of the unexpected choice - at least he didn't think of it here, even after Ronan gave the answer, and after thinking about it, Curtis still Can't hide the surprise, "How did you think of such a choice?"

"Falling apart", a song included in the album "Seven", a song with a very special style.

So how on earth did Ronan come up with the idea to perform the song on stage at the Grammys?

"Winning the Grammy nomination, there is no doubt that this is the highest stage of our careers, and we all look forward to our perfect performance." Ronan's answer was very serious, but he could still feel the lightness in his voice ,full of expectation.

"For this purpose, it is undoubtedly more appropriate and safer to choose 'Chasing the Light'. After all, we have performed many times in the tour, and the Grammy is the most shining light. The song fits perfectly with the theme, but, Not a king for a day to be conservative, is it?"

From being on the verge of giving up to being in the spotlight, King One Day has never relied on being conservative and prudent to lead the way. Full moon parties, road tours, Bruno's opening performance, adventures again and again, and challenges after challenge have created King One Day in the boundless world. The road that emerged from the boundless darkness.

Then, when it comes to the Grammy stage, they have no reason to return to conservative.

It is precisely because of this that Ronan and Maxim persuaded their teammates—they were all looking forward to the Grammys, and they were all worried about the Grammys. The emotions of worrying about gains and losses made their thoughts temporarily confused, and the idea of ​​safety prevailed , lest risky actions might mess up such a god-given opportunity, but after calming down, both Ollie and Cliff understood that Ronan was right.

Although there is still a struggle in my heart,

But Ollie and Cliff both nodded in agreement with Ronan's proposal.

The meaning of "Chasing the Light" is undoubtedly the first song that opened up the band, but the style of the song lacks a little power, and the positive and sunny lyrics are too tame, not only in the Grammy It is impossible to show the impact of heavy punches on the stage, and it is far from the overall style of "My Devil"——

Although this is the most widely sung song of the band now, it was eventually discarded considering the style and characteristics.

Instead, Ronan ended up opting for another track from the album, "Falling Apart," which was tougher, explosive and darker.

"How about it, can you now imagine the style of our stage?" Ronan's firmness can be felt in his understated words-on the professional level, Ronan's confidence is growing bit by bit, especially After the Grammy nomination, the feeling was even stronger.

From "my devil" to "falling apart", the coherence, the tenacity of living to death, the madness of not being crazy and not surviving, and the style and temperament of standing at the end of the dark world looking for hope gradually took shape.

Curtis thought about it seriously, "I can imagine the style you want, but I still can't imagine the final effect."

Ronan nodded, "So, this is our job."

Curtis agreed, "I've adapted a version now, why don't you listen to it first."

Although there was no consensus within the band before, whether to perform "Chasing the Light" is still open to discussion, but "My Demon" was determined early, so Curtis started to get busy early on, re-doing "My Demon" Arrangement, creating a special version for the Grammys.

As soon as the voice fell, Curtis directly clicked play, and the melody was transmitted through the video call screen and microphone——

The dreamy and blurred electronic sound diffuses above the eardrums, and the empty and profound reverberation creates a three-dimensional effect of the space universe. The whole melody is full of the retro style of electronic rock in the 1990s, and at the same time incorporates the electronic music of the 21st century. A brand new interpretation, the texture is very advanced.

It has to be said that Curtis's professional ability is really outstanding. No wonder he has the qualifications to say nothing, and he can stand upright even in the face of big-name artists.

"How do you feel?" Curtis paused the music, turned to look at the camera, and could see his confidence from his gestures.

But Ronan didn't speak immediately, but savored it carefully for a moment, as if he was still reminiscing about the melody just now, and he could see that the thoughts in his mind were surging from his slightly frowned brows, but it didn't seem like Curtis was expecting it contented and joyful.

"The overall style... is dominated by psychedelic colors, creating an audio-visual experience of weightlessness in space. If it is matched with on-site lighting effects, it should be very cool, but..." Ronan paused, "But I look forward to more Magnificent is darker."

Then, Ronan raised his eyes and looked at Curtis through the screen, "If it is a psychedelic style, then the stage effect is greater than the performance effect. Our performance and singing are not the focus, the lighting and sound are combined The audio-visual experience is, this is Lady-Gaga's style, highlighting the effect of dance moves, expression management, body language and melody collision, but this is not a king for a day."

If it was someone else, Curtis would have been furious at this time, and sprayed back directly with his mouth splashing - he was the party A who was in charge of the adaptation, and Ronan who was sitting and waiting for the result was party B, but now party B is right Party A pointing fingers?

But facing Ronan, Curtis knew that this guy would definitely not be aimless, and the positions of Party A and Party B were completely blurred. It was more like a cooperative position where the two sides communicated and discussed each other, so he was willing to listen to it before venting. ,Or is it--

Lost in thought.

"Curtis, the stage I conceived is even grander. We can use organ, violin, saxophone, French horn and other classical instruments—or even the entire symphony orchestra for accompaniment, creating a tragic and dark style. It's like a space opera."

Ronan's words created a storm in Curtis's mind.
