Seven Hundred and Ninety Second, This Is Not What It Used to Be

With the overall expansion of digital music downloads and online listening methods, the tradition of the music market has been completely broken, and the global downturn has inevitably arrived. This is no longer a situation that can be reversed by relying on two top superstars, but A challenge faced by the entire industry.

It is in such a situation that more attention is paid to the diversity of music types, the vitality of creative inspiration, etc., as evidenced by the strong rise of Adele.

Looking at the year-end summary of the music market in 2013, the slump of physical albums and the rise of digital music sources are undoubtedly the most significant signs, and the double charts of One Day King have become the biggest highlight.

On the one hand, the album "Seven" has copied the advantages of "21", and has been positively affirmed by professional music critics and market feedback. It can be said that it has found a balance between business and art; On the one hand, what makes King for a Day more valuable than Adele is the experience of fame.

From the unknown dormancy to the arduous long march to the magnificent rise, the king for a day has undoubtedly become a ray of light in the field of independent music, inspiring the persistence and dreams of countless independent musicians-this is for the sluggish music market. Undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

It is conceivable that in the face of a generally sluggish market, more and more independent musicians may be forced by life and have to choose to give up. Even if they may be the next Adele and the next Ronan, they have already been rejected before they got the chance. Real people are swallowed by a torrent, and the loss of these talents is another blow to the fresh vitality of the music market.

Over time, a vicious circle may form.

Now, independent musicians including Shine, Joy, Magnum, etc., headed by the One Day King, are rising strongly, winning market recognition step by step. For all the music that is chasing dreams and persisting It is a ray of dawn for people.

From such a perspective, re-watching the 2013 year-end list again, the achievements of the king for a day are more precious and rare, which is amazing.

When "Forbes" magazine selected the top 100 most influential celebrities in the world in 2013, it placed the king for a day at the tenth place.

The "Most Influential" celebrity list is not the "Highest Earning" list, but is evaluated based on factors such as exposure, income, and discussion.

If you just look at income, One Day King can't even make it into the top 50. After all, they don't have their own brand or endorsement, and even the scale of the tour has not yet reached the highest level. How can they rely on copyright income? What about competing with those big guys?

But influence is another matter.

The top 100 most influential celebrities in the world this year is Oprah Winfrey, who has been runner-up for two consecutive years.

She finally succeeded in winning the championship.

Behind Oprah, Lady Gaga, Steven Spielberg, Beyoncé and Madonna were among the top five. Among them, it is worth mentioning that the "old and strong" Madonna still has unparalleled appeal. Her tour concerts earned a total of 125 million US dollars, ranking first among all singers.

Ranked eleventh, One Day King became the artist with the highest ranking for the first time entering the list in 2013, slightly ahead of "Wolverine" Hugh-Jackman (Huge-Jackman) who also entered the list for the first time and finally ranked eleventh. all sights—

People expected the one-day king's rising speed, but they didn't expect the influence to reach such a level. The year-end sales list was a surprise, and the "Forbes" list was also a surprise.

In this regard, a comment on the "Forbes" list said,

"Brilliant and charismatic, single-handedly making waves at the Grammys and Coachella, rekindling the life of rock and roll, and as long as they're on stage, the world is theirs."

Concise and neat, but every word is precise, accurately depicting the biggest achievement of King One Day in 2013, and of course, it also has a unique charm.

It is precisely because of this that one year later, the One Day King returned to the Grammy Awards Ceremony again. It was a special experience for the band itself and the audience. Ny Quaid wasn't quite ready either.

buzz buzz.

buzz buzz.

There are two streets away from the Staples Center, and you can already feel the heat wave in the air. The roads that have completed street control early are not the same as usual, and the iron fences make the neighborhood look a little calm. The staff in charge of maintaining traffic reminded people of the scene before the Halloween parade. The contradictory feelings triggered strange and weird thoughts in their minds, and they couldn't stop like spring silkworms spinning silk.

"Haha, you should really look at your expressions."

Maxim laughed out loud heartlessly, complaining mercilessly to his teammates—mainly Ollie and Cliff. As for Ronan, although he was nervous, he would not lose his composure, and they all knew Ronan, everything would be the same. In this way, I was very nervous before the start and kept putting pressure on myself, but after the start, I took control of the audience.

"Don't act like you haven't seen the world, it's our second time."

Maxim still showed a suave and unrestrained appearance, eager to show off in the spotlight.

Ollie's expression looked as if he was about to vomit, "You said it too, just the second time." Not hundreds or thousands of times.

Cliff took deep breaths to control his emotions, "I feel like I'm more nervous than the first time. Last year I didn't know anything, I was just looking forward to it; but this year I knew what was going on, but I was so nervous."

"Because you know what will happen, so you have expectations for yourself." Ronan said with a smile, if you don't know anything, then you can go hard with your blood, "That's why people always say that ignorant and fearless children Is the bravest, and as I grow up, the fear becomes more and more."

"..." Cliff was stunned, "Why do I think you are cursing?"

"Haha, I was discovered." Ronan laughed happily, and then the atmosphere in the carriage relaxed a little.

While speaking, the van had already entered the welcoming street, and slowly stopped in front of the red carpet. Through the car window, you could see the audience who were looking forward to the scene, stretching their necks to observe, trying to see Who is in the car? The burning gaze filled with ardent expectations surged in the air, as if the entire Staples Center could be ignited just by sight and breathing.

gurgling.

gurgling.

The red carpet staff stepped forward to open the car door, thousands of eyes were all rushing in the same direction, and even the other singers who were on the red carpet were temporarily forgotten, and the chaotic eyes were too busy to find the focus.

Then, Maxime came on the scene.
