Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 304. Mute his microphone! Don't let him speak!
When the music that had topped the charts in multiple countries started playing.

The atmosphere reached its peak shortly after the start of the event.

When the excited fans saw the news announced on the screen, they were moved to tears, and their screams and shouts even went off-beat, almost drowning out the loud volume of the speakers.

But no fans felt unhappy.

Even Henry, who was always very conscious of his image, felt a surge of excitement after seeing the information on the screen.

Since its initial release, "Numb" has garnered over 18 billion streams on its official YouTube channel alone, with unofficial streams across all platforms worldwide being difficult to quantify.

According to data from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), "Numb" is poised to be the best-selling single worldwide in 2017, far surpassing the combined sales of the second and third best-selling singles.

[All of these miracles were accomplished in less than a year.]

"Oh my god!! Oh my god!! Shit!!"

"You are my belief! You are my strength!!"

"Just do it!! Become a legend, etch yourself into history!"

The fans went absolutely crazy.

The deafening screams drowned out the sound system.

However, they were unable to disrupt the Devil Power band's performance.

This is not because everyone has a strong heart and won't make mistakes due to intense emotions when facing big events.

It's simply because after experiencing so many abstract scenarios, encountering normal scenarios only brings a sense of relief.

Everyone unleashed their full energy.

Winnie blushed slightly, straightened her back, and gradually added embellishments to the electric guitar section.

A touch of embellishment doesn't detract from the overall feel; instead, it enhances the presence of the electric guitar's roar.

The others, of course, were equally unwilling to back down.

When you've developed muscle memory for the original score, everyone knows perfectly well when to add embellishments.

As Li Can emphasized the presence of heavy beats in the drumbeats with greater intensity, the entire performance suddenly took off.

The hum of electric guitar and bass surrounds the drumbeats.

"I've become so numb I can't feel you there!"

Amidst powerful roars.

The entire audience joined Lin Feng in a grand chorus.

The passersby outside the venue were the most shocked.

This powerful, all-out chorus created a wave of sound that swept across the land.

Even from quite a distance from the venue, the excited chorus could be faintly heard.

Even the pilots and photographers on aerial photography helicopters can hear it when they are close enough to shoot low-altitude footage.

Watching the city's neon lights pulsate in time with the music filled me with immense excitement.

The driver turned to look at the passenger seat and smiled slightly.

"Hey man! Want to grab a drink after get off work?"

"Go ahead and drink, but you can watch the concert broadcast while you drink. I'd like to see it for myself too."

The passenger was wearing a helmet and glasses, but that couldn't hide the wide smile on his face.

It's a rare opportunity to be on this mission; DP's aerial photography assignments are highly sought after.

The money is certainly generous, but the most crucial thing is that they offer autographs and photos with the band.

The passenger in the front seat wasn't a big fan of celebrities, but he still went all out for his beloved daughter.

However, after actually experiencing some of the leftovers at the scene, the co-pilot's feelings subtly changed.

A band should let its music speak for itself.

Their words were so dense and of such high quality.

The passenger in the front seat couldn't help but sigh.

"If it weren't for them, I find it hard to imagine anyone else being able to surpass such a concert."

This idea has appeared in the minds of many people.

This naturally included Henry, who was so excited in the audience that he threw off his hat and sunglasses.

A calm man can be most unrestrained when he gets excited.

Such a performance even left Old Bei, who was standing next to him, speechless.

"And I know!"

"I may end up failing too"

A performance is underway on the stage.

But at the same time.

On the big screen, footage of the audience was projected directly.

In the center of the shot is Henry, who is raising his hand and cheering, completely letting loose.

Amid the screams, a distinct gasp of surprise suddenly arose.

The comments section was filled with "Holy crap!"

[Holy crap! Who is it? Xiu Poman?!]

[Superman! Holy crap!]

[It's even become popular in Krypton?!]

No! This has become a hit even in the DC Universe!

[Isn't that Beckham next to him?]

Holy crap! Did we stir up trouble in the DC Universe? Don't tell me the entire Justice League is here!!

Feeling the surprise of the audience below the stage.

Lin Feng strode to the edge of the stage closest to Henry's VIP seats.

He thumped his chest and interacted with Henry through gestures.

In an instant, the screams became even more intense.

But this is not the end.

Lin Feng did not retract his gesture at all.

He then greeted Old Berlusconi, who was standing next to Henry.

He bent down, reached out, and touched the front-row fans who had their hands raised.

“you were just like me With someone disappointed in you”

After standing up, he held his hand to his ear as a gesture, and then raised both hands high.

The fans understood.

An even louder chorus resounded throughout the venue.

"I've become so numb!!"

Henry had never seen such an explosive scene before.

But there was no time to be shocked.

Upon appearing, Henry discovered that the crowd included not only DP fans but also many Superman fans.
But in his excitement, Henry felt no regret whatsoever.

If it weren't for the fear of overshadowing the main act and the concern that his own abilities weren't up to par, Henry would have wanted to rush onto the stage and perform with them.

It seems.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to be just right.

But obviously.

Li Can was not satisfied, and neither was the entire DP band.

How could the final show just be about hyping up the audience's emotions?
soon.

After the intro to "She Is My Sin" begins, the lead singer switches over.

The fans finally realized it.

These guys are practically terrified that their fans' voices will get damaged.

In the past, the DP band had no shortage of fame and exposure, so their concert selections consisted of a few globally popular songs to build up the atmosphere, followed by some new songs or relatively "niche" songs.

But this time it's completely different.

Every track selected, except for the new electronic music at the beginning, is an extremely popular and representative song that has become a global sensation.

After "Immortals" starts playing.

The achievements the song had made were still displayed on the screen. [The Los Angeles Times named "Immortals" an inspiring rock masterpiece.]

[Number 3 on the UK rock charts, number 8 on the North American rock charts.]

[Joining "Phoenix" on the shortlist for this year's UK Kerrang Best Single!]

Such an announcement.

Once it started, it was unstoppable.

The male and female lead singers switched roles one after another throughout the performance.

After Lin Feng finished singing two more songs.

"I Hate Myself For Loving You" appears.

Han Jiayin has completely changed her image from the vocalist she just portrayed, transforming into a cool and edgy woman.

There was no shortcut.

Even the styles, rhythms, and tempos of the music switch very frequently.

This feeling didn't make the fans uncomfortable; on the contrary, it made them feel that this was the DP band.

Only this way will it taste right!

"I Hate Myself For Loving You!"

Follow the melody.

The excitement and frenzy of the scene transformed into a rhythmic beat.

After all, getting too excited can really be tiring.

Overwhelmed with excitement, all the audience members chose to immerse themselves in the music.

The next track is "Rock or Bust".

The unique rhythm of hard rock excited the audience while also making them feel much more comfortable.

of course.

It could also be because they couldn't sing along.

The audience was excited as they watched the live broadcast of the concert.

Netizens have also been completely infected.

When legendary bands carefully select and begin performing their most popular hits, the resulting live concert experience is simply unimaginable.

It was so explosive that it left people somewhat dazed.

The audience at the scene were relatively okay, at least they had performances constantly keeping them engaged.

However, after a moment of confusion, some netizens suddenly felt a strong urge to express their feelings.

I wanted to say something, but I was also afraid of missing any detail of the concert.

But eventually, some people will still say it.

On the Chinese internet, a long post from a music forum has sparked widespread discussion and has been widely screenshotted and forwarded.

This era belongs to the DP band.

The internet age has made music catchy, superficial, and increasingly monotonous. But this legendary band showed me that music has infinite possibilities. Admittedly, they have plenty of catchy, simple, and even fast-food viral songs, but that doesn't mean they only have those.

They even made me realize that I don't actually hate certain so-called hit songs, but rather the same old hit songs. I don't hate catchy tunes, but rather the existence of only catchy tunes. What I hate is never a specific type of music, but rather monotony.

Countless netizens flocked to the comments section of the post.

It is extremely rare for a long article to generate such a huge response.

But after seeing these few sentences...

Many netizens seem willing to calm down and watch carefully.

Admittedly, there may be some mentally challenged individuals who will spout nonsense after just one glance, but the vast majority of netizens are willing to reason with each other.

I'm willing to continue reading other people's interpretations.

[In the past, the music scene was a battleground between commercialized brainwashing, even plagiarism, and those who championed the sophistication of pop music, creating two extremes in music selection and making the music audience increasingly divisive.]

I never imagined in my life that my own "diode-like" world would be shattered in such an extreme and abstract way by an outrageous band. They're genuinely idiotic when they're acting crazy, but they're absolutely amazing when they're serious.

This is almost entirely due to the efforts of its key figure, the producer behind it—Mr. Li Can.

[I used to think they were just abstract, entertaining, unserious, and only chasing trends. But later I realized that there's no inherent opposition between being awesome and being stupid. Being awesome requires a method, and being stupid requires a way of being stupid.]

The diversity of styles is no longer just a label or slogan; the attitude of music is no longer just serious or entertaining; commercialization and art are not necessarily so clearly distinguished; and there seems to be no need for high-end and low-end to be hostile to each other.

This is what the poster said.

This immediately made some netizens realize something.

Why does the DP band, which is so unreliable, still have such a huge influence?

Is it really just because the music is so good?

Obviously not.

People have different aesthetic tastes. It is very likely that the abstractness connects them, making it difficult for everyone to predict what they will do next. Is it Lin Feng's public New Year's greetings, Chen Gang's loud "fuck", or even Li Can drooling and smelling his feet? These may only make fans feel that it is unreasonable, but also expected.

burst.

But what they said didn't seem so unusual.

Naturally, fans have no idea what song they'll be releasing next.

It was yet another powerful outpouring of emotion.

Or is it a high-end artistic aesthetic experience?

Or perhaps treat yourself to a big reward.

Perhaps, in the future, I can proudly discuss musical aesthetics with my child.

He has catchy, catchy tunes, sentimental songs, profound and meaningful ones, the pinnacle of pure art, and even mindless, brainless idiocy. He's also adept at publicly poisoning people with his ideas. So, what exactly should music be?

I will tell my children that music is beauty, music is thought, music is a story, but it can also be fun, entertainment, emotion, and abstract humor.

I can't stand the subway after get off work with only the ringing bell and no soft ambient music; I can't stand the eerily quiet cafes and bars without jazz; I can't stand the magnificent epic orchestral music that makes my soul shine at important occasions; I can't stand not having any uplifting music when I pick up my phone to have some fun; and I don't want to be unable to find any soothing lullabies to wake me up when I need a pep talk.

The artistic achievements of one person will not lead to praise for all their other works. The so-called boundaries between high and low in music are being broken down, and in their place is the construction of an awareness of the different functional attributes of music.

What's wrong with high-end or low-end?
Different music should be listened to at different times.

Going to church requires a choir, going to a disco requires a thumping beat, wanting to be brainless requires "Oba ohba ohba," and wanting peace and quiet requires gentle lyricism.

Perhaps only a portion of netizens can see the essence of the matter and understand it.

But the influence of music is often subtle and imperceptible.

You may not realize it, but you are definitely deeply affected.

Just like Los Angeles, which is brightly lit right now.

Even a single word, "嗨" (hāi), can have completely different ways of expressing excitement.

at last.

After the amazing solo performance.

The concert was also coming to an end.

The brothers and sisters performed all night, and although they were very excited, they were really tired.

Humans are all like that.

But Li Can wouldn't feel that way.

For Li Can, who is powered by nuclear energy, such a performance might be a bit of a warm-up, and it wouldn't be considered foreplay, but it certainly wouldn't be tiring.

The performance was nearing its end.

Li Can picked up the microphone.

In place of the two lead singers, he interacted with the fans in the audience as the team leader. This allowed his teammates to take a break and recharge, while also giving him a chance to summarize the situation, compose the audience, and prepare for the final burst of energy.

However, after Li Can picked up the microphone...

The international audience at the scene was very excited.

But the reactions of Chinese netizens all changed.

Perhaps some things haven't reached overseas yet.

But after the "motorcycle" incident, domestic fans know all too well about Li Can, this mysterious man. He's a handsome man who doesn't speak, but becomes an abstract man when he does, and you never know what kind of golden quote he might utter.

What do you want to say? I suggest you think about it!

[Damn! Don't shatter my illusions about this amazing performance!]

[Where's the security guard? Security guard, please help him! Turn off his microphone!]
