Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 336 When the real illness strikes, none of them will escape!
Time quickly passed to the eve of the Sonic Music Festival.

After publicity and pre-launch promotion.

Fans already knew that DP would be performing at Sonic Festival.

Although Tencent is broadcasting the show domestically, many fans are still excited and plan to attend in person. Those who can get tickets are doing so, and those who can't are not worried. Everyone knows that DP's live performance may not be limited to the venue; there may be an extended area around the venue.

This year's Sonic Music Festival is being held in Gunma Prefecture.

Mount Akina.

Li Can originally wanted to drive up the mountain himself, but the mountain was full of traffic police.

Upon arriving at the scene ahead of time, Li Can and his group suddenly discovered that they couldn't go up the mountain. The mountain was full of tourists who had been lying in ambush, and leaving would also be difficult, putting the traffic pressure at its peak.

Fortunately, the hot spring hotel arranged by the organizers provided excellent privacy, so I wasn't constantly disturbed.

Sonic Music Festival is one of the largest music festivals in Asia.

DP Band was the first Xia Guo band to squeeze into the group.

The overwhelming enthusiasm from domestic fans caught the organizers completely off guard, almost throwing them into chaos.

This inevitably had some impact on the other bands participating in the music festival, but none of them complained. Instead, they were even more excited and prepared for the festival.

Please, that's the DP band. Being able to perform on the same stage with them is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Even if they end up performing in bars, there will definitely be DP fans who will buy the band a few drinks while they're out at the bar.

If the organizers hadn't sent a lot of people to separate the hotel where Li Can and his group were staying, the band members would likely have been the first to be attacked.

The town at the foot of Mount Akina was plastered with posters.

The streets were crowded with pedestrians, and the lively atmosphere made the local residents feel a little uncomfortable. However, as their business volume increased and their income rose accordingly, they gradually got used to the bustling atmosphere.

"DP Band! They're amazing! I'm already excited even before the performance!"

"Huh? What? DP has so many songs to perform?"

"Kaku! Lee, Daisy Ki!"

A group of Japanese girls came together, and they were very excited when they saw the cool posters on the street.

We entered a coffee shop.

At this time, in addition to the Sonic Music Festival-themed design, the coffee shop also predictably displayed posters of Li Can and his friends.

Because of his good looks, Li Can inevitably became the center of the band as the drummer.

Rock fans have always been quite averse to idolizing someone, but in this case, they really can't bring themselves to be averse to it.

So what if he's idolized? As long as Chan-hyung is awesome, that's all that matters.

"Li hits really fast, it's so exciting."

"Perhaps there's no better drummer than Lee."

"I'm so envious."

Several young girls were chatting away.

The men and women next door overheard this.

These are all Chinese students studying in Japan.

After hearing what the neighbor said, he didn't interrupt, but he did start a conversation.

"Indeed, Chan is really awesome, he might really be the world's number one drummer."

"They are strong, but being number one in the world is going too far."

Upon hearing what the female student said, a male student curled his lip and chuckled, a hint of sneer in his expression.

"If you ask me, he's alright. Li Can is indeed very strong, but he can't possibly be the strongest. It's very likely that high school students can reach that level, and Li Can might not even be as good as a high school student."

"?"

The female student didn't realize at first that the male student was making a joke.

A feeling of displeasure instantly spread through me.

"What did you say?!"

Seeing the female classmate get angry, the male classmate was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes became playful.

"Pah, you fake fan! You don't even know this? Do you really like bands?!"

"I heard that there's a high school girl with twin ponytails in Japan who's recently become very famous. She's an amazing drummer, very lively. I don't know anything about drums, but I think she plays much better than Li Can."

"what?"

The female student was stunned.

My mind suddenly feels a little foggy.

It's just that my partner's performance was too realistic. Although I realized something was wrong, I didn't realize exactly what was off.

A high school girl playing drums?

Ouch, my head hurts so much. I think I understand now.

Seeing that the female classmate's CPU was getting a little hot, the male classmate chuckled and finally revealed his abstract expression.

"Haven't you seen 'Girl Rock'? Isn't that girl a hundred times better at fighting than Li Can?"

"."

At this moment, how could the female student not know what the male student was saying?
They were truly silent.

"You're right, that woman was a hundred times better than Li Can."

The female student glanced at the male classmate, inwardly cursing him.

Are all of Lee Chan's fans like this?!

These days, you can't fit into this circle without doing something a bit abstract?!
Finally, he managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"You're fucking abstract."

This made the male student feel as if he had been praised, and he showed a happy and sunny smile.

"whee."

The conversation between the group reached the ears of several Japanese girls.

Although I can't understand the language, I know it's Chinese.

It might be a little different from what many people think.

In Japan, the Xia Dynasty culture is not rejected, or quite the opposite.

If you can speak Chinese, you'll receive countless compliments; if you can write Chinese characters, you'll be invincible; and if you write with a brush, it will be absolutely amazing.

If you study Sun Tzu's Art of War even a little, your history teacher will look at you with new respect.

The presence of someone who speaks Chinese piqued the curiosity of several Japanese girls.

"Na-chan, aren't you learning Chinese? Can you understand it?"

"Are you misunderstanding something?"

Na-chan's expression immediately became very strange.

It's like seeing two foreigners chatting in English, and a mother says to her child, "Aren't you learning English? Can you translate this for me?"

That's absolutely outrageous.

"Sorry, I don't understand at all."

Na-chan pouted, looking somewhat hesitant.

"But I think I understood a little bit. They said that Li Can's drumming is ten thousand times better than anyone else's, but I don't quite understand who it is."

"It seems she also said 'Tama Abstract,' I don't know if that's Chinese or a mix of Chinese and Japanese. Maybe she wanted to express the soul of the DP band. Abstract... I don't quite understand it, but I remember it's a word used to describe art."

"So what?!"

"Wagata!"

"Si Guoyi!"

The Japanese girls suddenly realized what was going on and immediately understood everything.

In Japanese.

Tamashi means soul.

It's very likely I misheard, but it sounded surprisingly smooth.

Japanese girls are really good at using their skills.

After learning Chinese, I found it very interesting and inexplicably wanted to use it.

As a result, a very unique combination of Chinese and Japanese support messages suddenly appeared on Xiao Rizi's social media.

【Abstract Tamashi】

With the Sonic Music Festival about to begin, many Chinese netizens are paying close attention to what's happening on the internet here.

Such supportive quotes are easily circulated among fans simply by copying and pasting.

Seeing DP Band's daily life, fans are saying things like, "DP Band's abstract soul is really amazing," and "Abstraction is the soul of DP Band, so awesome," and "Li Can's soul is very abstract, fantastic."
Domestic fans really couldn't hold back anymore.

Connecting abstract concepts with the soul to create a slightly chuunibyou-esque anime-style expression is just too cheesy.

There wasn't the slightest bit of doubt.

The Egyptian online community is like it's Chinese New Year. People are collecting bizarre quotes from foreign websites while watching Chinese netizens come up with creative ways to use the phrase "not as good as a high school student." They also have to wait for DP's performance at the Sonic Music Festival to be among the first to witness this abstract live performance.

I don't know who said it or who spread it.

It also seems to be influenced by an unknown and mysterious force caused by the subconscious of human groups in the era of big data.

There's always a premonition in the dark.

Li Can, who has been suppressing his emotions for a long time, is likely to explode soon.

Anyway, the fans seem to have made up their minds about one thing.

This music festival marks DP's long-awaited big move and public appearance, so it's impossible for it to be without abstract elements.

This is a terrifying realization.

because
People in the entertainment industry also gathered together to pay attention.

Besides celebrities, the majority of people were actually from the marketing department.

Watch and learn carefully; everyone wants to know what kind of trending topics the DP band will create.

Such discussions are generating considerable buzz.

Even some members of the DP band come across similar topics online.

This is no longer just an Egyptian-themed event; it could even be described as a large-scale wishing event, only the wishes made are very much in Li Can's style.

Li Can, who had just finished a relaxing soak in the hot spring, overheard his buddies discussing the feedback from netizens.

People were dumbfounded at that time.

"What? You really want me to do abstract art?"

"Haven't had a big poop in ages, are all the little gluttons hungry?"

"what?"

Seeing the question mark-filled expression on Li Can's face, Lin Feng and Chen Gang slammed their fists on the table and burst into laughter. "You're too serious, so serious that it scares the fans. There's nothing strange about you, which makes the fans feel insecure."

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. When Chan-ge doesn't do abstract things, his fans feel insecure."

"?"

Li Can, who has always been the one to abstract others, has finally been abstracted by someone else this time.

In the past, if someone pulled a string, it would be a huge, earth-shattering event, with everyone screaming and yelling.

A large group of industry insiders started criticizing themselves, putting all sorts of labels on them.

As they gained more fame, their excellent works and creative content intertwined, and the fans' personal characteristics were truly cultivated.

Don't blame others.

Winnie suppressed a laugh, gently patted Li Can's shoulder, and spoke in a heavy tone.

"These fans...you picked them! My idol!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Gang and Lin Feng burst into insane laughter, and even Han Jiayin and Zhao Ze couldn't help but laugh.

Fans are more excited for him to slap them than he is to do it himself.

This is utterly upside down!

"No, haven't you misunderstood something?!"

Li Can was so angry he laughed.

"Is that me being abstract? Then am I fucking being abstract?!"

"Who's causing all this chaos in Poland? Who's suddenly collapsed in Harbin, offering belated New Year's greetings to the audience?! You're pinning all the blame on me, aren't you?! Am I being ridiculous?!"

This is just great.

Lin Feng and Chen Gang's faces instantly turned red, and they couldn't manage a smile.

But the smile won't disappear; it will only shift.

Han Jiayin, Zhao Ze, and Winnie finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Huh?! Answer me!"

"Looking into my eyes!!"

Li Can's persistent questioning made Lin Feng blush.

After exchanging a glance with Chen Gang, Lin Feng also blushed and stood up straight.

"Li Can, you didn't run away either! We've gone too far, but aren't you being absurd too?!"

"Put everything else aside, I just want to know if you started this trend!"

"Fine, fine, you son of a bitch."

Li Can nodded repeatedly.

Bro laughed in exasperation.

"You really want to do something outrageous, huh? Fine, let's do it!"

"I'll go to the Sonic organizers right now and request a change to the performance program and arrangements."

This was the first time Li Can had ever seen such a request.

But no problem.

Satisfy them!

Without hesitation, a galaxy of inspiration flashed through Li Can's mind.

"Confirmed? You'd better not regret it later!"

"No regrets! I'll cooperate!"

Lin Feng and Chen Gang grunted twice, stubbornly refusing to budge an inch.

LOL, every rock musician has some kind of quirk.

It's just about coordination, right? After practicing for so long, I've long forgotten what a face even is!

"Playing big?"

"Go big!"

"OK!"

Li Can grinned.

"Isn't it just about being crazy? I'll fucking be crazy all over the place, every single one of them, if they don't drool, I'll eat my hat."

"Drooling?"

"Nonsense, what's the point of us acting crazy if only we're the ones going crazy? If we're going to go crazy, then the fans and the audience at the scene have to go crazy together. Everyone has to be an idiot, and no one can get their brains back!"

Lin Feng was taken aback, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

I have a feeling that Li Can is planning something big for himself.

But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back.

Rock and roll, rock and roll, it's perfectly normal to have your mind go blank while rocking and rolling.

So, the DP band happily made another impromptu change to the live performance design.

The Sonic Music Festival organizers were a bit confused, but they didn't understand or dare to ask. They had complete faith in DP's live performance abilities and simply did whatever Li Can said.

The arrangement was very rhythmic.

Time passed slowly.

And so it was the opening day of the Sonic Music Festival.

The number of people, the level of popularity, and the amount of online attention reached an extremely high peak that day.

Not only gamers and longtime fans, but also many anime fans came to visit.

Thanks to the popularity of the anime "Girls Rock," many fans at home and abroad who don't usually know much about the music scene have learned more about the band DP. Once they learn more, their impression of the band changes drastically.

I originally thought that world-class bands might not be related to me, and that their style was not the same as mine.

But when the DP band entered the world of anime and manga, the feeling was completely different!

Everyone's brains are malfunctioning!

This is absolutely wonderful!

【Excited!】

[Ah! Yesterday's update was just getting exciting, and today we get to see DP live!]

"Keep trying! I believe that as long as Guitar Hero is here, even DP will be able to hear our songs."

Honestly, if this were to have a collaboration, it would definitely be a landmark moment in anime history!

[It's not impossible. Someone like Lee Chan, who's a collaboration fanatic, can openly make references to Superman on stage, so it's not out of the question for him to randomly pop into the world of anime.]

The music festival has just begun.

Its popularity on the internet exploded!

Although DP was not present, judging from the program, the band almost dominated the entire second half of the festival.

Being able to occupy nearly half of the performance time at one of Asia's largest music festivals is already very satisfying for fans. In addition, the quality of the preceding programs is very high, so everyone waited very patiently.

But when it was DP's turn to perform, they were nowhere to be seen for a long time.

The fans didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, but in fact, DP's antics started right from that moment.

It wasn't any member of the DP band who walked onto the stage, but the host.

The host had a sullen face.

"I'm sorry, everyone, the DP band has encountered some difficulties and may not be able to perform."

"?"

Before the fans could even react emotionally.

The host suddenly smiled.

"Unless you call me—Onii-chan, Daisaki!!"

"?!"

The fans were completely stunned, as if they had chewed on a telephone pole.

They stared at each other in disbelief, wide-eyed.

The live chat exploded.

[Fine, fine, fine, Li Can, you really know how to play the game.]

[What a CPU situation! Trying to pass a test, huh?!]

[Haki Lee, you son of a bitch]

Before the audience could even react...

The huge live screen then showed a camera view of the backstage entrance.

Lin Feng poked his head out with a strange expression, seemingly checking the audience's reaction.

This made everyone laugh even more.

Then, the voices of the muscular men in the audience exploded instantly, their rough, deep voices making the summer heat even hotter.

"Onii-chan!!"

"I love spicy food the most!!"

Laugh to death.

The most excited person wasn't the girl at all.

Instead, they were hunks.

Their teamwork was absolutely passionate.

Amidst the cheers, Lin Feng walked onto the stage with a microphone, beaming.

The fans in the audience were stunned again.

The entire stage was very empty.

There are only scattered pieces of equipment.

Lin Feng, all alone, suddenly raised the microphone and began speaking in a confusing language that was completely incomprehensible.

"Ugh puff puff gurgling dudu da dudu".

"?"

The fans' smiles froze.

What the hell is this?
