Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 377 The screen-projection master got the joy of complete randomness.

This is the second time tonight that the lead singer of the band Devil Power has lost his job.

Lin Feng transformed into a microphone stand.

But it seems like the microphone isn't even needed for sound pickup.

The audience was countless, perhaps mostly Austrians, but a significant portion of them came from all over the world.

Germany, France, Britain, the beacon across the ocean, Australia and Canada, Japan, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and many wealthy men in China.

But regardless of the accent.

They all sang together that song etched in their DNA.

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

A chorus of tens of thousands of people doesn't require any recording technology at all.

The power of music has even extended from the spiritual realm to the physical realm.

There was no chill in the dead of winter, and no sleepiness at all in the middle of the night.

In that instant, what was on Li Can's mind was...
The parameters for the on-site sound system design were a bit too conservative.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Music always comes to an end.

After the performance ended, the excited audience realized something.

"Thank goodness! It's Numb! We're doomed!"

"Damn it! This is a staple song, is it really going to end here?!"

"No, no! It's only this early!"

Oh my god! Please don't!

It wasn't just the audience at the scene who realized this.

After their initial excitement, netizens also noticed something amiss.

Damn it, we've built up the atmosphere to this point, and it's "Numb" again.

broken.

[Holy crap! Is this the end of the show?!]

That's it? So short?!

[Impossible! I can't believe it!]

After the initial excitement came calm.

Some people have even started to worry.

Ending the performance would be a good option, but it was too short.

Should the performance continue without ending?

Come on, man, look at the atmosphere now. If this continues, even if it's a truly god-level live performance, it will feel a bit anticlimactic compared to the explosive feedback right now.

Emotions, after all, have a threshold.

Li Can was of course unaware that netizens were already worried about the performance, and even if they did, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Music is something you have to enjoy; if you worry too much, you won't get into the fun.

No matter what kind of achievement or what kind of amazing performance, musical performers must always strive to surpass themselves, because while emotions may have a threshold, the types of emotions are diverse, and the power of emotions is limitless.

"Numb" is very powerful and suitable as a closing track, but what if there's an abrupt transition?

It is not impossible.

The transfer of emotions requires a transition. In addition to the transition of musical style, rhythm, and emotion, the transition of personal interpretation is also an essential ability for live performance.

Especially the DP band, which has a wide variety of musical styles, is best at transitioning between individual works. No matter who it is, they can quickly find their own performance style.

New songs have relatively low acceptance rates and require a strong first impression, making them more suitable for placement at the beginning.

Old songs are fine; the fans will get excited on their own.

After the music ended, there was a brief pause of about ten seconds, which immediately made the audience below the stage a little flustered.

Is it really over?

But the next second, Lin Feng suddenly laughed.

"You guys don't really think it's over, do you?"

"Ouch! Ouch!"

This one sentence immediately dispelled any doubts the fans had.

If there is a seamless transition after a song with explosive emotions, the audience's emotions will not fluctuate, making it extremely easy to create a contrast. However, if there is a deliberate pause of several tens of seconds, causing the audience to worry, it will be much more effective.

Hey.

People will think, "At least give us some more, don't let it end like this," and then drift in uncertainty and speculation, with worries arising spontaneously.

Then comes the foreshadowing of "to be continued".

The emotions will calm down with each pull and tug, and it won't affect the rest of the performance at all.

Before the audience could even experience this surprise...

Winnie started by banging her guitar, mimicking the sound of a motorcycle starting up!

The familiar drumbeats appeared.

"Thump! Thump! Thump thump thump! Tap! Tap tap. Tap tap!"

"Ouch!"

This easily guided the audience into the right state of mind.

Don't let it get so explosive that you break down emotionally, but the passion remains.

"I Hate Myself For Loving You".

Through the unique texture of hard rock, the emotions gradually begin to descend.

"Hey! Hehe!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

The excited cheers instantly turned into a dynamic neck exercise for everyone.

But this is just a transitional phase in the middle of the game.

As the emotions gradually calmed down from the extreme stimulation, Li Can began to guide the audience's emotional state.

Old songs serve as a transition between emotions because the audience is familiar with the work.

The next step is still to let loose and be yourself.

Li Can even stopped pretending altogether.

Performers also have emotions, and these emotions can turn into rants that they have to vent.

"Guys, we've torn up the lousy setlist. From now on, we'll be completely random!!"

"What?!"

"Bro?!"

The audience was stunned.

After all, the first half of the performance felt natural, and the changes in musical style were completely integrated into DP Band's unique personal style, making the preparation and transition of the performance incredibly smooth.

Nobody would think of it as random.

But now, Li Can spoke up and said "random".

Perhaps it was a backup track prepared in advance?
But it doesn’t matter!
Just believe it!
That's what makes it more interesting!
Cheers began to erupt.

Seeing that the audience was very excited, Li Can spoke up.

"Way down! We go!"

"gogogo!!"

The audience just felt that it was about to begin.

Only the band members knew that they were telling each other the song title.

OK, don't panic, it's all in Curry.

Not being selected doesn't mean there's no talent pool; the talent pool of top-tier bands is unimaginable.

But to the backstage staff, these words were undoubtedly the whispers of Satan.

Stop pretending, show your cards.

What does this mean?
This is not the kind of simple disruption of a work, or a pre-prepared piece, that audiences might imagine.

It's very likely that something wasn't even on tonight's setlist!
It's a work that even the creator himself didn't know about, and had no content prepared for screen mirroring!
"Fuck God, I'm going to destroy this."

The screen-casting technician felt like he had never experienced such a hellish ordeal in his life.

In a split second, my mind raced, and I even imagined myself in a bar in the future, drinking and bragging about the most outrageous jokes I could tell in the industry.

"My job is to do screen projection processing and screen projection site management for outdoor performances."

"That's great! You earn a lot and get to meet all sorts of celebrities. It's fantastic."

"But one day I was put on screen for the band Devil Power."

"That was truly hellish, brother. Are you alright?"

The screen projector knew that this was not his fault and had nothing to do with him.

But even his formidable professional skills couldn't suppress this feeling of being completely out of control and unexpected, a feeling that sent shivers down his spine.

It's hard to imagine what kind of person would enjoy this kind of performance.

They're absolutely right; they really do like seeking thrills.

Li Can and his group moved quickly.

Chen Gang sent a screen mirroring signal on the computer console.

They didn't even use pre-prepared quick messages; they typed them out word by word on the spot.

I didn't prepare in advance; it was just something I used on the spot. I immediately sent it to the projection technician.

Find some resources in the library and let your imagination run wild with any combination you like!

This is a translation; the original quote is only one word: 【Solo】.

These words made the screen projection technician's vision go black.

Solo my ass! How the hell is this supposed to be a solo? I know your band loves solos, but making a projector like me do a solo too is a bit much.
But the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.

The DP band has already started.

If the screen mirroring isn't fast enough, that's really not good.

At the very least, it shouldn't affect the quality of the performance.

then.

The screen mirroring technician seamlessly switched the screen to the standard transition.

It is indeed a pure light variation commonly used in the material library.

Sweating profusely, I was eager to hear about DP Band's next performance style.

at the same time.

Chen Gang began playing the keyboard.

Accompanied by the clear sound of a piano.

Lin Feng spoke.

“Wo~Father tell me
We get what we deserve.

The screen-projection operator was completely focused.

At first glance, it's impossible to discern the style.

But his professional habits led his mentor to quickly adapt, using a few slow piano notes and Lin Feng's slightly languid, slow vocals to define the style of the work as soul, jazz, blues, and lyrical pop.

A blurry yet clear transition between near and far views reveals the most ordinary scene of a highway and a flower beside it.

This kind of setting makes it easier for the driver to continue "soloing".

There was no time to curse; the projectionist was holding back his energy, ready for any emergency.

The next dungeon is called "Escape from Hell".

As the drums sound with a low thud, punctuated by the soft murmur of the piano, the sensual bass line ripples and undulates against the lead singer's vocals.

"And way down we go!"
-
oooo
We'll go down the road!
-
oooo”

Blues, Rock

I immediately appreciated the quality.

The screen mirroring technician began searching through a library of materials for which the copyright holders had partnered.

This texture is no longer suitable for the scenery; we must quickly switch to a human figure.

Of all the materials the DP band has, the only one that seems to fit is actor Henry. Coincidentally, Henry's content can be used freely here, and there are many different kinds.

The word "Father" immediately brought to mind a gangster theme for the projector.

They intuitively identified the gangster character played by Henry.

"Say way down we go~"
"Way down, we go!"

"You let your feet run wild,

Time has come as we all oh go down. "

[Say it aloud: We will embark on our journey, run as fast as we can, and when we stumble, that is when our opportunity will come.]

The music has a lazy, roguish feel to it.

There aren't many figures like Henry.

The screen mirroring technician didn't have time to think it through; he just used it if it felt right.

Ironically, the scene of Henry walking forward in a suit exudes a strong sense of masculinity.

Catalyzed by the drumbeats and vocal lines, it is as full of tension as the pulsating bass line.

“Yeah but for the fall oh my
Do you dare to look him right in the eyes. "

“Cause they will run you down down till the dark
Yes and they will run you down down till you fall”

If you hadn't fallen, would you have dared to look him in the eye? They will leave you lying in the darkness.

The audience was very satisfied, you could even say they couldn't be more satisfied!

Henry, playing the role of a secret agent, walks alone on the highway in the twilight sun.

Suddenly, this feeling surged into the hearts of the audience like an electric current.

Even the screen mirroring technician felt it was absolutely perfect.

For a moment, the master completely lost the urge to curse the DP band, and even started to feel a little good.

Don't say it, don't say it!

That solo was really exciting!

The unexpected changes opened a new door for the projection technician.

As the projectionist got into the swing of things, the song reached a more complex segment.

And way down we go-oooo
"Way down, we go!"

Let's embark on this journey together.

It got stuck at a crucial point.

The screen mirroring technician changed the content being mirrored.

It was Henry, covered in blood from the gunfight yet still elegant and dashing, slumped against the wall, calmly taking out a cigarette and lighting it, the smoke rising slightly with the curve of his lips.

At the same time, Lin Feng's magnetic humming and Winnie's guitar solo began to play.

"Uhh uhh uhh uhh uhh uhh uhh"

The guitar solo was unhurried and composed.

Winnie's piano playing seemed to be synchronized with Henry's movements on the projected screen.

Each note was both steady and magnificent.

“wu~wuwu~”

The gliding overtones in her humming caused Winnie to pause briefly.

He calmly took out the hollow metal slide bar.

He tossed it upwards with a flourish and caught it instantly.

That action perfectly coincided with the moment Henry casually tossed his Zippo lighter and lit the gasoline can in the projected image.

After catching it, it was an even more steady slide solo, and Henry's true manly nonchalant attitude of never turning around to look at the explosion.

"Oh! Baby~ yeah!"

"Down we go!"

Wow!
The audience was thrilled.

I never imagined there would be such a performance.

The coincidences on stage look like they were planned countless times!
The barrage of comments was endless.

Holy crap!

I admit you guys are incredibly handsome!

Henry would wake up laughing in the middle of the night, now he had another background music to play.

[I feel it! I already feel like I'm going to the West with my brothers to make our fortune!]

At this moment, the most excited people were not the audience.

It was the screen-projection technician.

The screen-projection technician's face turned bright red.

Such seamless coordination is not something that can be achieved all the time. Once it is, especially in an impromptu situation, it is incredibly satisfying and has a kind of designed beauty.

"Yeeees!!"

Music has emotional lines.

Even with new songs, it's not entirely impossible to predict.

A little bit of prediction.

Add to that this rare coincidence.

This created a performance effect that cannot be deliberately replicated.

Winnie's upward toss of her glissando stick, in particular, ignited the atmosphere and became the highlight of the entire performance!

The projection technician truly felt the wonderful coordination!
A pleasant surprise appeared in the performance.

It's not just the screen mirroring technician.

Li Can, Lin Feng, Chen Gang, and even Zhao Ze, who was in charge of the bass line, and Han Jiayin, who was in charge of the rhythm guitar, all experienced the same exhilarating feeling, like a shiver of cold water being poured on their backs in the sweltering summer.

"hiss!"

But people aren't in a hurry to get excited.

The effort to suppress this feeling keeps the music low.

It immediately rose again.

"Way Down We go!"

"yeah!!"

As the drums and guitar spiraled upwards, the emotions and atmosphere of the entire audience completely changed by the time the music ended!

It's like a dream, as if you can smell the tobacco and gunpowder through the screen.

The guitar solo and the scene of lighting a cigarette on the projected screen seem to be etched into my mind.

Wait until you come to your senses.

The audience had only one thought in their minds.

[This wasn't pre-planned, was it?!]
