Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 442 Heart Blossoms, Yet "Blooming to the End".

Han Jiayin and Lin Feng did not turn around.

Zhao Ze didn't look up either.

But I could always clearly feel Chan-ge's murderous, burning gaze.

I really want to tell Brother Can that the two of us won't be going home for dinner tonight.

People used to give New Year's greetings, but now they even dare to kick the microphone stand.

They're causing trouble today; I don't even want to think about what they might do tomorrow.

The performance continued as if nothing had happened, and the overall quality of the performance actually improved because of this small mistake.

The fans didn't sense anything was wrong.

Compared to a minor mistake, the impact of the live performance is often much greater. Even without the slightest mistake or the slightest sound, with such excellent sound effects and basic skills, it would almost sound like lip-syncing.

Let alone this small problem, even if it were a major mistake, if it only happened once in a while, fans wouldn't be angry. Instead, they would find it novel and it would become a famous meme that will last forever.

Li Can was aware of all this, and he wasn't angry.

but.
To be able to play and pass the ball so smoothly on the stage, these guys are still a bit too relaxed!

I need to practice more!
Li Can's death stare didn't last long, but everyone was a little hesitant to laugh.

Only Winnie the Pooh came out.

Even the strength in his hands increased significantly.

This is just great.

There wasn't a single person left in the entire DP band.

Zhao Ze removed the string, and Li Can dropped the hammer.

From Winnie's broken string to Chen Gang's mic-opening outburst, Lin Feng's belated New Year's greetings, to the chain reaction caused by Han Jiayin's mic-closing.

The issue now is no longer who caused the accident, but who handled it more skillfully.

Perhaps because they had already made a mess of things, everyone became more relaxed after the tense period passed.

The subsequent solo performance completely stunned everyone.

It truly is a case of "the tiger playing the zither and the phoenix turning the chariot."

Because on the stage, immortals stood in rows like hemp.

A technical solo performance is essential, but the most important thing is to be technically strong and also have a lot of fancy moves.

Li Can's small drumsticks flew up and down with a swish, they were really being tossed and flipped around, and the spare drumsticks he always kept at his waist were all gone, with only one left.

Zhao Ze's impromptu windmill performance thrilled the fans, Chen Gang unabashedly tinkered with his random key changes, and Winnie was completely absorbed in her art, so excited that she didn't know the limits of rhythm and speed, and began to challenge Li Can's drumming BPM and rhythmic variations in an immersive state.

Her long, golden hair flew wildly as she swayed, and the stage lights shining on it created a halo effect. The look in her eyes was that of a madman.

The results are naturally excellent.

If the performers are all crazy, how can the audience not be?
It's as if there are any respectable people among DP band fans.

There are seats available, but I won't sit down. Sigh, I just want to play.

You finally get to see a live show, what are you going to sit in? When you get home, you can do whatever you want, even lie down or do a handstand.

None of them found it tiring.

Standing up and nodding rapidly to the intense rhythm, even doctors specializing in cervical spondylosis get goosebumps watching it.

Some even got so excited that they started wiggling their waists and hips, making one wonder if, if their emotions got any more intense, someone might want to breakdance, roll around on the ground a few times to get dust off, further reinforcing the public's stereotype of B-boys.

The constantly flashing and fading lights reflected human heads and ghost faces; even Zhong Kui would complain about the enormous workload of handling over three hundred orders.

Time passed gradually.

The happy times were drawing to a close.

Lin Feng and Han Jiayin raised their microphones and interacted with the audience, occasionally bending down to shake hands with fans in the audience.

Over the past two days, these 300-plus lucky fans have become quite familiar with the members of the DP band, but that hasn't dampened their excitement.

Before, they seemed too ordinary, but today, they fully and formally showcased their talent on stage, allowing fans to find the feeling that the DP band should have.

"Ouch!"

When the music stops, everyone knows that the performance is about to end.

But he kept shouting, unwilling to let it end so soon.

"Next up will be the last piece of work, and of course, it will also be a new song."

"Oh oh oh!!"

"No need for further words, let's bring this concert and this fan meeting to a close!"

"Ahhh!!"

A wave of cheers surged, then the entire stadium fell silent.

As night fell, the lights flickered, and the hazy glow gradually turned into an intensely fiery red, no longer flashing but shimmering.

Fans are all waiting for this final piece, the song titled "Blooming Flowers," to be projected onto the screen.

Han Jiayin is located in the very center.

After agonizing over it all day, this time I finally didn't have to take the microphone off the stand.

Set the microphone up.

Under Li Can's gentle, broken tapping, the electronic sounds were slightly torn apart under Chen Gang's control. Winnie's distorted guitar played a strong riff. As the musical passages progressed, Chen Gang's keyboard played strings, as if unveiling a grand and magnificent curtain.

The opening act alone was enough to give you a strong sense of psychedelic rock.

In the end, only the distorted and intense female voice under the drumbeats and the accompanying bass remained.

However, what made fans' hearts race was Han Jiayin's voice, or rather, her behavior.

They sang directly without using a microphone.

Instead, he took out a large, distorted megaphone commonly found in the vegetable market, held it up, and sang. However, the megaphone's amplification area was misaligned with the microphone, resulting in a slightly weaker and severely distorted sound.

"Every ant has eyes and a nose. Isn't it beautiful?"

What does it matter if the deviation is even a fraction of a millimeter?

"Ouch! Ouch!"

It's just the beginning.

The fans in the audience went wild.

Among the more than 300 fans, there are indeed many veteran rockers.

Even those who don't understand music are willing to look at all sorts of musical Easter eggs and analyses online if they really love it, because DP's works are truly profound.

It was clear from the very beginning.

This is not some kind of attention-grabbing or unconventional attempt, but a genuine experiment in sound quality!

What is "荼蘼"?
The fans of the "Idiot Bar" were the first to understand the intention.

That is the manifestation of the decline and return to ordinariness after the peak of a thing's prosperity, and the reluctance to part with the fact that happy times are always short-lived.

This deconstruction, combined with the style and texture of psychedelic rock, the light beats and riffs, the hazy electronic sounds and the subtle arrangement of details, all subtly create a sense of sorting out, and a slightly decadent sense of survival deconstruction leaps out from the notes.

Everything was reflected in Han Jiayin's act of singing through a loudspeaker, through that extremely distorted voice.

Everything was hidden in that brief prelude.

From riffs to electronic music, and then to a magnificent string feast played on keyboards, suddenly, the music shifts from the beginning to light and slow drumbeats and pure, low bass, like the empty shells left after a gorgeous flower has withered, only echoing unreal sounds through the amplifier.

As if in a hazy dream, Han Jiayin put down the megaphone.

The sound became slightly more solid.

There is too much magic and too little reason.

"Too many games, just out of curiosity." But it was this very shift that shocked fans even more.

Strange! Very strange!
But after listening to a few more lines, one can feel a strange, indescribable beauty of absurdity and decadence.

This is a completely unique way of singing.

It even connects to the "timbre experiment".

The special sound produced different and strange changes in the two media.

This slightly distorted and strained hoarse sound was already established when singing through a loudspeaker. Even when it became a live sound, it still produced a huge sense of separation, yet it returned to the melancholy and loneliness after the fading of youth.

"I would doubt anyone who gave me the whole world."
My heart was bursting with joy, but it withered and died.

Even though it was the chorus, Han Jiayin picked up the megaphone again.

This time, however, the loudspeaker wasn't positioned away from the microphone; instead, it was pointed directly at the microphone.

The already slightly hoarse and broken voice, through the double-layered medium, produced an unexpected and bizarre expression.

It should be included in a regular performance.

This is a stage accident because it's an echo generated by the amplification and reception of the sound system; it's a howling sound from the speakers.

But placed here, the slight buzzing of the sound system is like a rare and precious finishing touch, instantly bringing the entire piece to life.

Even the howling became part of the performance, making it unclear whether it was planned or just a coincidence.

However, combined with Han Jiayin's precise control of the loudspeaker, and his actions of whether the speaker was directly facing the microphone in different scenes, this superb design made fans feel a chill down their spines.

"Holy crap! DP! Was this even in your design?!"

"What the hell! What is this?"

"My God, DP-sama, you guys...you guys actually...Holy crap!!"

The fans didn't know what to say.

It's just even crazier.

This is exactly the kind of performance everyone wants to see!
Conventional performances may be boring, and attention-grabbing acts that lack substance are merely empty gimmicks.

Only bands that constantly explore various musical possibilities can always bring different surprises to their fans.

Music is used to express emotions.

But Tu Fei, who was excited in the audience, understood that human emotions are very complex.

Not all emotions can be clearly expressed.

However, when "The Last Blossom" is expressed from different dimensions in terms of lyrics, arrangement, music, singing, and stage performance, it ultimately constructs an extremely complex emotion and aesthetic.

Music is abstract, and everyone has their own understanding of it.

It can showcase the complexity of emotions, but the problem is that it is too complex and seems to be applicable to completely different interpretations. Often, different listeners feel and understand it too far apart, as if it is just reading comprehension.

Song titles, while descriptive music, can be expressed directly with lyrics. However, this expression seems to limit us. Human emotions, though complex, can only be condensed into simple joys, happiness, happiness, sadness, and excitement. The emotions expressed in music, however, are gradually labeled in their directness, such as "heartbreak," "healing," and "high-energy."

Tu Fei originally accepted this reality.

But today, DP Band tells everyone through "The End of the Year".

There is a huge gap between abstract and figurative expression.

The emotions expressed in music can be both explicit and pervasive.

The flowers have reached their full bloom.

By using metaphors with literary merit and allusions to deconstruct and express ideas again, a sense of saying only half of what is meant is created.

It provides a direction, a feeling.

This is the theme, but it's not discussed in detail, leaving room for imagination.

This is an expression that embodies profound Eastern aesthetics, philosophy, and artistic conception from a holistic perspective.

It appears to be a story about love.

But in reality, they are quite far apart.

Even interpreting it as an emotional song is somewhat unworthy of its aesthetic scope.

This feeling instantly brought to Tu Fei's mind a popular internet meme that was already trending on the "Idiots' Forum".

Are people who attempt suicide because they can't see the light, or because they've come to terms with it?

There is a complex emotion here that is distinctly different, yet somehow similar.

This song, from the details of the notes to the performance style.

It features far too many innovative details.

Yet these innovative details blend seamlessly, forming a complex and profound art of emotion.

This perfect combination of thinking and structure is far more advanced than anything seen in today's music scene.

Tu Fei didn't know how to describe it, but he was still shocked by the message contained in the song and could only mutter to himself.

"That's ruthless! Is this what true high-level skill is?"

Deeply shocked, Tu Fei looked at his friends.

Some were excited, some were reluctant to part.

Of course, there were also many others who were deeply moved, just like myself.

The concert is over.

DP finally left the stage.

Wait until tonight is over, until tomorrow.

Fans will then return home according to their purchased schedules, bringing this dreamlike fan meeting to an end.

However, even after the concert ended at around 9 p.m., the fans still seemed wide awake, full of energy and high spirits.

We decided to have some more fun tonight, since Li Can and Xingmei Entertainment had kindly extended our room subscription until 1 PM tomorrow.

Tu Fei was no exception.

The initial shock of the new song was quickly overshadowed by the emotions of farewell celebration.

The meet-and-greet has ended, and these newly made friends are about to part ways.

After everyone came out of the bar.

A fan, emboldened by his drunkenness, suddenly murmured a sentimental remark.

"Hey, do you think our current situation is like a burst of joy that's quickly faded away?"

This statement came out.

Another fan chimed in with a laugh: "When the last roses have faded, the thorns emerge from the bramble wall. 'A stroll in the garden at the end of spring'—I must say, it really does evoke that feeling."

"Yeah, yeah, to be honest, the new song is a bit strange, but I feel like I haven't heard enough of it. I want to hear it again. I've watched the recording on my phone several times, and I still want to watch it again. It's going viral in the fan group."

"Chan-ge and his team are really amazing. They always come up with something new for their concerts."

"Haha, maybe that's why the DP band's concert live stream had such high viewership ratings. It was a real surprise."

Listening to my friends chatting.

Tu Fei yawned and chuckled, but didn't say anything.

The song "When the Flowers Bloom" is really strange.

More or less, it makes people feel "different", so it's no wonder that people can't forget it.

A moment of silence.

Tu Fei's words immediately drew the attention of his fans.

"This is the inertia of the DP band, and also the inertia of a cultural symbol. The reason for this inertia is that we are moving forward. Sentiment is not an obstacle to progress, but a driving force for breakthrough. Perhaps this is what makes the DP band different."
