Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 439 "Can other celebrities do it?!"

"."

The fan meeting was ultimately turned into a company team building event, and Wang Yongchang finally felt relieved.

It's not surprising that Li Can seemed relaxed; they'd gotten used to working together for so long.

But the fact that these fans can also have such a relaxed attitude only shows that people of a certain kind attract people of a certain kind.

A group of people casually walked from the conference hall to the banquet hall.

He would occasionally offer Coke to Li Can's table, as if to say, "Yes, I'm going to marry him."

After receiving the gift, he completely ignored the main character, his eyes filled only with longing for the pork knuckle.

Even the fans who recorded videos with their phones were, in Wang Yongchang's eyes, far too polite.

At most, it's just taking a picture from a distance, or using a change of angle to take a long-distance selfie together.

I always felt that getting a free two-day entertainment trip was far more important than "meeting my idol".

"Brother Can, when are you getting married?"

"You're in a hurry to give a gift, aren't you?"

"No, it's just that such a joyous occasion as a wedding deserves a concert to celebrate, right?"

"?"

"Brother Gang, Mimi's livestream started, aren't you going to check her out?"

"Is this for real? Let's get this going, brothers!"

"."

"Hey Ze, can you tell us a bass joke?"

"There are no bass jokes. Bass players will be eliminated. I was actually in charge of strings in the DP band. You didn't expect that, did you?"

"?"

After lunch, some people chatted, some went to play games, and some went to the sauna area to steam in the middle of the day.

They didn't gather again until 3 p.m. at a music restaurant not far from the hotel.

Until then.

After eating, drinking, and resting well, Tu Fei finally came to his senses again.

"Holy crap, this is a fan meeting?!"

"?!!"

The surrounding fans were taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled.

"Now that you mention it, I realize something's not quite right."

"Haha, this is hilarious, this kind of fan meeting is one of a kind."

All of a sudden.

The fans in the music restaurant laughed and chatted amongst themselves.

"Perhaps this is the advantage of having fewer people? It really wouldn't work if there were too many people."

"It's not necessarily all because there were few people, but to be honest, this fan meeting of Brother Chan really gave all the artists in the industry a big slap in the face."

This statement came out.

Many fans subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Among the fans present, there were actually some who were not traditional fans.

The lottery for spots was indeed very enthusiastic, but that enthusiasm seemed to be mostly due to the fact that it was free to participate. If it were a fan meeting for other artists that required buying tickets and spending money, it might not have been as enthusiastic.

Some fans who had attended other artists' meet-and-greets felt completely unfamiliar with the event.

Not only did I not spend any money, but I also got to eat and play for free and even make a profit.

This is truly a way to give back to the fans.

No matter who it is.

Fan meet-and-greets like that.

In the minds of most of these people, this is just a way for celebrities to make money, and some even see it as purely a way to exploit people.

An 800 yuan ticket can be exchanged for an 8 yuan Taobao-customized celebrity prop, and it's treated like a favor.

Compared to Li Can's fan meeting, the entire industry's fan meetings have been thoroughly humiliated.

"Ultimately, it comes down to the difference in business models. Brother Can's business model doesn't need these little tricks."

Tu Fei's thoughtful words drew everyone's attention.

"Even if it's completely free, the revenue from various channels that a work can bring is far greater than that from endorsements, merchandise, or even concerts. This is based on the premise that the work is very popular and there are a large number of them."

"Therefore, other celebrities are more of a 'celebrity idol,' while Chan's identity is purely that of a 'musician.'"

This statement came out.

Many fans nodded in agreement.

Such a business model is indeed impossible to replicate. Everything is based on the foundation of outstanding works. In the turbulent entertainment industry, very few can achieve this.

But no matter how special Li Can is.

This fan meeting served as a stark slap in the face to what the industry still considers an undeniable fact.

Many of the bigwigs exchanged glances and nodded solemnly.

Once the fan meeting is revealed, any one of these points could cause a stir, and there might even be attackers.

Then everyone would have no choice but to fight.

If we don't protect artists like this, are we supposed to protect those artists who exploit fans through fan meetings?

Just as the atmosphere was starting to turn confrontational.

The lights began to flicker slightly.

Everyone snapped out of their daze and realized that the afternoon's concert was about to begin.

Good afternoon, friends!

The sound came from the catwalk.

Fans looked over and found that all the members of the DP band were already in place.

The lighting wasn't flashy, nor was it particularly dim. The band members were dressed only slightly more elegantly than their everyday clothes, enough to avoid looking too casual or like they were just out on the street, but not quite up to the standard for a nightclub performance, let alone a stage show.

The runway wasn't very high; it was a network of interconnected, hexagonal passageways, with the main stage in the very center.

Even though there are a lot of people, as many as 300, the people are very close together and the performance area is in the middle of the restaurant hall, so it still feels like the distance is very close.

It's like a small indoor concert.

"Everyone can be a little more relaxed. What you sing is entirely up to you! Even when we're tired, fans who want to show off their skills are welcome to come and have some fun!"

Lee Chan's words drew cheers from the fans.

Especially fans who think they sing well and are prepared.

I've already started imagining the scene of DP band providing accompaniment for me.

Of course, many fans exchanged glances and revealed knowing smiles.

Everyone knew in advance that song requests would be allowed at the afternoon concert, so the arrangements had already been made privately.

Many fans couldn't help but laugh when they thought about what song they would be playing next.

"Ouch!"

"So, everyone! What would you like to hear for the opening?!"

Lin Feng took the microphone, and many songs flashed through his mind.

Among them, besides "Numb", the most common is "Bury the Light".

However, Lin Feng subconsciously felt that things might not be so simple.

Ever since he started hanging out with Li Can, Lin Feng has developed a kind of paranoia, constantly imagining some outrageous and bizarre sudden reactions.

After all, what could be more outrageous on-site incidents than Poland's rampage and Shenyang's New Year's greetings?
I subconsciously felt that there couldn't possibly be many normal people among my band's fans.

It was unexpected, but not contrary to common sense, yet it was not surprising to Lin Feng.

The fans were indeed well-prepared.

Almost simultaneously, they cheered and sang a song that no other artist or fan could have imagined in their lifetime.

"Your Xylophone!! Your Xylophone!! Ahhhhh!!"

"?" Even though Lin Feng had anticipated this.

But when it actually happens, everything goes black.

Seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of the DP band members, the fans grinned with triumph.

"That feels good! That feels good now."

"This feels so good, this is exactly the feeling."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Surprisingly, amidst their laughter, the DP band seemed to have been prepared.

Li Can was stunned for a moment, then immediately gave a thumbs up.

Lin Feng let out a roar on the spot.

"Holy crap! I knew it! I knew you guys would do this!"

Pointing to the fans around him, Lin Feng looked at Li Can.

"Li Can, look, these are the fans you've cultivated! Luckily, I had some foresight."

"Hahahaha!"

The atmosphere instantly became incredibly joyful.

If DP were merely shocked and bewildered, fans would be thrilled, but there would always be a sense that DP's abstract style is nothing special.

But the reality is that they were actually prepared, and even made some predictions.

They are very self-aware; they understand their own abstract concepts, but such behavior itself is very abstract.

"Come on! Hurry up!"

Li Can immediately started knocking.

Lin Feng speaks clearly and distinctly.

The surrounding fans all started singing along in unison, it was so familiar, it was obvious that all the contestants were well-versed in the Bible.

"Sweat soaked my back and neck in the cramped, sweltering rehearsal room!"

There are no new songs, only old ones.

But these live performances made the fans incredibly excited.

After all, DP's concerts didn't really feel like concerts; they were more like new song release events. Now, this offline fan meeting, while not quite a fan meeting either, is just like a concert in the conventional sense.

However, the fans were too happy too soon.

Singing along depends on who it is.

The following performances were either classic instrumental rock pieces like "Free Bird" or some monstrous stuff that normal humans couldn't sing, making it quite difficult to keep up.

Time passed slowly.

Interactions with fans have gradually unfolded.

After showcasing their skills, Li Can and his group called on their fans to join in, inviting lucky fans to perform on stage together using a pre-arranged large screen and teleprompter software.

Many fans were interested in participating, so a lottery was held on-site.

The first fan to go on stage looked rather ordinary.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice, which was so lifelike in imitation of Lin Feng's, made the other fans scream instantly, and countless eyes turned to Lin Feng, making it look like a scene of a lead singer losing his job.

When the fan finished singing, everyone applauded enthusiastically.

However, there seemed to be a hint of regret in his eyes.

The collaboration between fans and idols was brilliant, which should have been a good thing, but .DP band fans didn't come here for that!

Finally, in the draw after another round of solo matches...

Tu Fei drew this crucial vote.

Amidst the applause and cheers from the audience, Tu Fei's mind was buzzing.

Regardless of whether they can sing or not, since they've come, the fans all feel the same way about wanting to interact. But when they actually get the chance to interact, they get nervous because they can't sing.

Seeing Tu Fei's dilemma, Li Can started drumming loudly to attract attention and began to cheer, prompting fans to whistle.

"Wuhu!"

"Wuhu!"

Tu Fei made a snap decision and used his talent to swagger forward.

With that rush of blood to my head, nothing else mattered; all I could think about was how to have some fun.

Originally, Tu Fei was thinking of singing some simple songs, but now he only wants to sing his favorite songs.

Centuries

Everyone was quite surprised because the song was extremely difficult.

Han Jiayin took the lead in harmonizing, Chen Gang looked closely at Tu Fei, the two exchanged glances, and as Chen Gang nodded vigorously in signal, Tu Fei also began to sing along with the lyrics.

He was very nervous, his performance was extremely flawed, and the moment he opened his mouth, the tone immediately went completely off track.

Laughter erupted from the fans, and even Li Can and the others couldn't hold back for a moment.

But it was different from what everyone expected.

Both Han Jiayin and Lin Feng looked at Tu Fei with encouraging eyes, nodded vigorously, clapped their hands, and kept time for Tu Fei.

They ran over 800 li, but under these circumstances, their rhythm was not often disrupted.

And in order to actively bring along fans.

Chen Gang and Winnie exchanged a glance and made a joint decision: to increase the amount of harmonies on the keyboard, together with the guitar, to enhance the main melody and guide Tu Fei.

"Remember me for centuries!"

"Hey~"

Although Tu Fei ran very fast, Li Can and his group still maintained a professional performance attitude when necessary, and the chorus quickly brought them back on track. For a moment, Tu Fei really gave people the feeling of a radiant professional lead singer.

Feeling the harmonies around him, Tu Fei became even more excited.

It felt as if countless forces were supporting me, and I no longer hesitated, letting myself go even more freely.

In that instant, Tu Fei understood even more clearly why he, who had never been interested in celebrities, would love the band Devil Power so much. Perhaps it wasn't just because of their music, nor was it just because of their abstract nature.

Although the runners were definitely running at full speed, the overall effect wasn't as bad as I had imagined; it was still exciting, just a bit too exciting.

After the performance ended, amidst applause and whistles, Lin Feng spoke with a smile.

Let's give Tu Fei a round of applause!

"Showing yourself is the beginning of a legend!"

"Ouch!"

Although it has a slightly childish feel to it, it becomes very passionate once the emotions are stirred.

Tu Fei blushed, feeling his cheeks burning hot, but his blood seemed to be boiling as well.

The feeling of dying in the company is only a little bit; more than that, it's a sense of accomplishment.

The performance was able to remain intact entirely thanks to the DP band's strong skills in keeping it from being overwhelmed. But what's amazing is that every time they reached the chorus, they were able to keep the performance on track by relying on their solid harmonies and the main melody expression of the instrumental section.

Chun Chun is like her father's strong, big hand.

Li Can and his group remained very calm.

Before choosing to involve fans in the interaction, we had already considered all possible problems, including fans singing off-key, fans not being able to keep up with the beat, and even the possibility of not being able to perform at all.

Naturally, they had already made preparations.

However, this preparation took on a completely different meaning in the eyes of Tu Fei, who had personally experienced these things.

As the moderator of the "Idiots' Forum," Tu Fei is incredibly good at writing long essays.

I couldn't contain my excitement and just wanted to rave about the experience of this meet-and-greet.

Tu Fei is not the only fan who shares similar feelings; many more fans would write lengthy essays about it.

Before going to a live house club at night, during dinner.

Some fans have already started writing short essays online.

[The least like a fan meeting ever]

What constitutes sincerity for a celebrity?

Can other celebrities do this?
