Three Hundred and Seventieth IX Background Standby

Many times, people always misunderstand that maverick underground music is a kind of rebellion against pop music, and even sneer at it. Art and business should be inseparable opposites. The music is full of disgust.

But this is wrong.

The Beatles are the best example. Their music is one of the most popular melodies in the past half century. The chords are simple and catchy. They can easily win the love of the general public and achieve great success in the market. Then, "pop Did "sex" affect their historical status?

The answer is just the opposite, "popularity" established their historical status.

More often, what professional musicians or underground musicians object to is not popularity, but the "copy-paste" assembly line. In order to cater to the market, they lose their own ideas and characteristics, and just arrange the chords mechanically. Combined, then stuffed with drum beats to make music.

Of course, such music can easily cater to the market, because scientific research has proved that human hearing has its own comfort zone. Among countless chords, the arrangement and combination of four chords is most in line with the comfort zone of human hearing , tends to be involuntarily attracted.

Therefore, such music can achieve excellent results on the bulletin board, but the assembly line has lost the musician's own perception and soul.

This is what is truly repulsive.

"Art and the market", these should not be two opposing factors, but should be embracing each other in the midst of mutual exclusion, maintaining popularity while pursuing self-reliance, this is the most difficult but also the most valuable aspect of artistic creation In part, "both refined and popular" is not a legendary vocabulary.

In fact, both the Black Keys and the King for a Day have similarities. Dan Auerbach and Ronan Cooper are the same. They are both insisting on creating their own music, and at the same time exploring in the ocean of art to resonate with everyone. The success of "Lonely Boy" is the result of the collision of inspiration.

Similarly, "My Devil" has also found a certain balance-so, after the original concert, this single can cause so much resonance; and Ronan's scientific exploration on the structure of the arrangement, constructing a The three-dimensional auditory experience has been successfully appreciated by professionals.

At this time, when Dan Auerbach and Ronan met backstage, they could find resonance with each other in a few words, and indeed met like-minded friends.

Ronan was able to catch the sincerity in Dan's eyes.

As a result, Ronan's smile became more relaxed,

"Instead, I am looking forward to the stage of cooperation, and hope to have the opportunity to complete the performance with you in the future."

"Aha! That would be great! I was talking to Patrick just now, maybe we should collaborate on stage once." Dan patted Ronan's shoulder heavily, and his thin body burst out with unimaginable strength. It landed firmly on Ronan's shoulder, "Contact information, we need to leave the contact information immediately, before this little guy regrets it."

The straightforward way of expression made Ronan's mood soar, and he joked, "I'm relieved now, you won't turn around and run away."

Patrick's hearty laugh drowns out Dan's voice, and Dan can be seen waving his hands in disgust, complaining, "He's always like this."

"Hahaha." This time, Ronan burst out laughing from the bottom of his heart - does this scene look familiar? Ollie should be able to empathize here.

Dan didn't know why, but he still liked Ronan's straightforwardness. The whole conversation revealed a sense of sincerity from beginning to end, without the greetings and politeness of social occasions. Seat, or stay in the background?"

"We need to take care of ourselves to prevent the audience from being frightened." Ronan waved his right hand up and down to signal his face.

Dan still didn't understand what was going on, and then Patrick whispered "Award Acceptance Speech" in his ear, and Dan realized it, smiling extra brightly.

They didn't continue to greet each other, and after embracing, they both bid farewell, and the Black Keys should return to the auditorium.

Waiting for Ronan to arrive in the dressing room, Cliff has already taken care of himself, and Ollie is putting on eye makeup—because the eyes are really red and swollen, but Maxim still hasn't gotten up, and is taking care of himself carefully It seems that what Alice said just now brought a stimulating effect——

reporter! Maxim absolutely does not want to appear in front of reporters with a flawed appearance, perfect! Must be perfect!

Alice beckoned Ronan to sit down, and then Grammy's official makeup team quickly stepped forward to help Ronan look his best in the shortest possible time.

On the stage, Carrie Underwood's performance was coming to an end, and the voice of the staff urging exploded nearby.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Get ready for standby! Sixty seconds countdown!"

standby?

What?

One day, the members of the king couldn't help being stunned, their eyes were exchanged in a panic, but they didn't understand what happened, and what's the situation now?

There is no way, they are still inexperienced, everything is the first time, and everything is in chaos tonight, the rookies have long been dizzy.

"Ready to wait." Alice has already grasped the process and context of the awards ceremony——

The performance sequence of the Grammy Awards Ceremony is determined early and cannot be changed. Therefore, in many cases, the nominees of the awards just finished their performances and are still stuck in the background and have no time to return to the audience seats. Therefore, a special waiting area was set up in the backstage, so that the nominees can directly participate in the live award presentation in the backstage without returning to the audience seats.

Not only that, nominators who go to the backstage to solve the three urgent problems or need to leave the seat in an emergency can also use this method to wait for the awards to be announced in the backstage; Agents or producers can also come to fill the seat to avoid problems in the live broadcast.
