Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 473 Surprise Attack on My Girlfriend's Solo Concert, Available Globally.

"That's so rock and roll, Li Can, you're really too rock and roll."

After quickly mentally assessing each task,

Mr. Li did not hesitate.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately took action.

The scale of the concert that Li Can wants to organize is outrageous.

The stadium concert venue was already quite large, but for the scale that Li Can wanted to organize, it was at most the size of the performers' space.

With three to five thousand performers, the required venue is ridiculously large. In this case, the on-site sound amplification and pickup issues alone are enough to make an entire sound design team burn out hundreds of hairs.

With the project finalized, the cooperation between the two parties proceeded rapidly.

The name has been decided for now.

Rock Summer

But in reality, only a few people, including the DP band and Mr. Li, knew that the name was only temporary, purely to appease the project team and other partners, and to make the name sound more normal.

The name of the concert.

Actually, it's "We Shake and Roll".

Mr. Li was devastated when he first heard the name.

But honestly, I do understand.

However, this "B" name cannot be revealed for the time being. President Li would not do anything that would unnecessarily increase the difficulty of the project, at least not to make the construction team feel like they are building a kingdom of gigi.

The name is tentative, tentative, yes, plans can't keep up with changes.

The location was chosen far outside Dunhuang city, almost bordering the desert.

Originally, this was a vast expanse of sand and gravel, where you could see the desert just by looking up.

Now, the huge and spacious venue perfectly suits everyone's ideas.

After several rounds of negotiation, consideration and verification.

The approvals were granted one by one.

It's much simpler than I imagined.

Li Can and his group were indeed only performing once, giving their final, ultimate performance. If they were to make a big fuss about it, it would be a real waste and would easily attract a lot of criticism.

But this doesn't mean that the invited musicians from different bands around the world will be in a hurry to leave.

Before and after the performance, it's really no different from a music festival.

Coincidentally, Dunhuang is a tourist city and has historically been a region for cultural exchange, so it is very open to this kind of development.

It seemed like just a performance.

However, in the future, it may very well become a music town that attracts countless tourists. The huge venue and natural desert backdrop will always attract other stars, and even be a venue for many official performances.

Even without cultural performances, it could still be developed into a large park or resort for the general public to relax. It could also serve as an additional attraction for the already large number of tourists, and even help alleviate the pressure of high visitor traffic.

Yes, it helps release stress.

Dunhuang has a permanent population of less than 200,000, but it receives at least 10 million tourists a year, and at most 15 to 16 million, most of which are concentrated in the peak tourist season.

Many people who have been there once always think about going back two, three, or even four times.

If wasteland can be utilized to create value, then the investment is worthwhile.

This even led to the addition of many more design elements.

However, this is not something that Li Can and Tencent need to consider; Tencent is only concerned with matters related to the performance.

Stage construction.

The team of designers they hired numbered as many as seventy people.

The team consists of twelve world-renowned top designers, along with several consultants, not counting assistants.

A design team like this would make someone who doesn't know the situation think they're building the capital city of Lothric.

Based on the number of performers, a conservative estimate of 4000 people was set for the performance venue.

After redundant design adjustments, the final footprint of the 1,000 drum kits was determined to be 4600 square meters.

Most of a football field.

Guitars and basses can be clustered together, but there are many players on them; keyboards have relatively fewer players, but they still take up a lot of space.

All of this requires 8400 square meters of space.

It is estimated that there will be a surplus space of 500 to 800 square meters or more for adjustments.

The final design is a semi-circular stage with a fan-shaped extension behind it that gradually rises.

The stage faces what can be described as an entire "rock city," while behind the stage lies an endless desert stretching as far as the eye can see.

The project is massive.

But in the current business situation of construction teams in Xia Kingdom, bigger is better; bigger means more food.

If it were just a performance, it would certainly be outrageous, but for the engineering teams that were hired, they had done much bigger jobs before, and for Xia Guo's infrastructure, it was a piece of cake.

Even though it includes a huge auditorium design and surrounding infrastructure.

Due to the special circumstances, it is impossible to prepare seats as in the past. For performances without seats, there must be other arrangements; the space cannot be left empty.

The area is divided into zones, and corresponding toilets are built. There will definitely not be just one large screen.

Sixteen huge screens were scattered throughout the venue.

The designer racked his brains for a long time in order to eliminate as many blind spots as possible for the audience.

Of course, there are also embedded commercial areas with beverage and food options, as well as spaces reserved for use as emergency centers, and several emergency exits have been built.

This is almost the design of a small rock city.

Although there was already a basic venue.

However, the investment required for the repairs is still extremely large.

It may seem like this was just a sudden, outlandish idea from Li Can, but what is the reality?

Perhaps sometimes all you need is this idea.

What truly sustains its success is DP's global status and charisma, which attracts a sufficient number of performers and, more importantly, a large enough audience.

Furthermore, once the venue is completed, even without any celebrities, just setting off fireworks and playing some songs that everyone likes to listen to.

This place can become a beautiful scenic spot, attracting more people to come and visit.

When the project fully commences.

It was four months later.

The implementation process, which took four months, was already highly efficient. From design to coordination in all aspects, even Mr. Li, who is used to seeing the world, felt immense pressure.

Li Can was extremely busy, frequently traveling with General Manager Li to meetings and inspections, coordinating an unimaginably large team.

The other members of DP, on the other hand, devoted themselves entirely to their respective world concert tours.

It's one thing if they occasionally make the news.

Classical music tours have surprisingly produced many breakout works, drawing attention from the industry.

Winnie and the others' performance was not without merit.

In fact, it is precisely because of this ever-growing influence that Li Can's work is becoming increasingly easier.

From the perspective of netizens, the members of the DP band have never disappeared.

But I always feel like the DP band has disappeared.

During this period, there has been absolutely no news about Li Can.

Perhaps it is similar.

Winnie's Nocturne is so beautiful! I feel like I've heard it before, but I can't quite place it.

[Huh? Isn't the melody of Winnie's nocturne the same as Chen Gang's? Li Can, what's wrong with you?!]

That's just one piece of music, a Nocturne in E-flat major, in different instrument versions.

Oh, then why isn't there a violin? Are bassists also being ostracized here?

[Damn, I thought you were tone-deaf, but it turns out you were just joking.]

【Wait, what?! They can even tell bass jokes in this B-site?!】

Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long time since we've heard from Li Can. What's he up to?

[That's true, maybe he went to spend time with his wife. Damn, I'm jealous of Li Can every single day.]

[I'm a female fan, and I'm jealous of Winnie. Chan is so handsome and has muscles. Wow, I can't even imagine it. If I could sleep with him just once, I'd be willing to live to be a hundred!] Four months.

It's not long, it's not long, it's not short.

At first, netizens didn't realize it.

After all, there are just too many works circulating in the market.

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about Chen Meijing.

The reason why they haven't been in a hurry to commission the next album is because they are still enjoying the benefits of the album that was tailor-made for Li Can.

It's actually quite normal for a singer to not release a new song for two or three years. If the quality of the song is very high, its popularity will dissipate very slowly. Releasing a new song again is actually not good for the artist's career.

But Chen Meijing is an ordinary artist, Li Can is not, nor is the DP band.

With each new work released, there's no fear of older works being overshadowed by newer ones; the charts are just a matter of one hand fighting the other.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but when the DP band slowed down...

The lingering popularity of older works is beginning to spread again, and their popularity is showing tremendous potential.

It is said that classic works will become more and more relevant with the test of time.

Now, it's time to put it to the test.

Even though the time frame was a bit short, not enough to test it out, it's still hot as it was before.

The most obvious example is the large ward.

It seems like there are major wards for the disease everywhere, but people don't usually get sick. Just play "Bury the Light" and you'll be surprised to find that everyone around you is having an attack at the same time.

It may seem inconspicuous, but it has long held a top position in game music.

In addition, there were concerts by other members of the DP band.

There's always a sense of déjà vu, like "you've always been with me all along."

However, for the members of the DP band, it was a long time.

Since becoming famous, there has never been a time when we were separated for so long.

By the time things had completely stabilized, it was already the end of May 2020.

Winnie's domestic tour has ended, and she's starting preparations for an international tour.

Li Can finally made time to fly directly to Barcelona to meet Winnie, who was on a solo concert tour in Spain.

Of course, in order not to affect Winnie's performance, the news was not told to Winnie.

A solo concert tour is very busy. Winnie had two shows in Barcelona, ​​but could only stay for two days.

After getting off the plane, I rested for an afternoon, and then had a performance that evening. I rested during the day and performed again at night. The next morning, I had to rush to my next destination, Paris.

It would be quite easy for Li Can to get a ticket.

They timed their arrival perfectly, arriving half an hour before the performance the next day.

The venue was large, and about 70% of the audience was already seated half an hour before the performance.

After finding his seat, Li Can waited quietly.

An elderly woman nearby was a bit curious and glanced at Li Can a few more times.

Li Can was wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen, but in the old lady's eyes, his black hair and eyes still made it clear that he was a "foreigner," and a very handsome one at that.

What intrigued the old lady was that Li Can was not accompanied by any female companion, but was holding a bouquet of red roses.

Before long, an elderly white man sat down on the other side of Li Can.

The two seemed completely unfamiliar with each other, and neither appeared to be a male companion.

"Very beautiful roses."

The old lady struck up a conversation in English, and it was clear that she was very interested in Li Can, this "foreigner".

The meaning of roses is self-evident.

Li Can came alone again.

It looks like he was trying to give something to his female companion but got stood up.

That's so pitiful, I have to comfort him, at least tell him that roses are really beautiful.

"Thank you."

Li Can nodded.

They were completely unaware that the old lady was feeling sorry for them out of kindness and wanted to comfort them.

"After the performance, the flowers will be delivered to the rightful recipients."

"uh-huh?"

The old lady was taken aback, then smiled and nodded.

Perhaps he had a date after the concert, so he prepared the flowers in advance?

It couldn't possibly be for today's performer, even though she's a beautiful young woman.

Seeing that Li Can didn't seem sad, the old lady realized that she might be overthinking things, so she didn't say anything more.

Soon, the performance officially began.

Li Can was somewhat surprised when he saw Winnie again.

At this moment, Winnie seemed to have returned to her student days.

That icy cold feeling.

Having gotten used to the passionate version of Winnie, it's quite strange to suddenly feel the aura of an ice queen after so long.

Soon, the performance began.

The notes of Moonlight Sonata danced on the strings of a classical guitar.

Li Can was very surprised.

Winnie's performance at this moment had actually improved a lot. The emotional turmoil and the expression of discordant notes seemed to be more perfect. Compared with before, she seemed to have a deeper emotion.

Even though the musical movement was very long, it left a feeling of brevity and unfinishedness after it ended.

As the performance progressed...

After the first half ended, Winnie went back to rest and regroup, and the audience became a bit more lively.

"It's absolutely beautiful. Regia truly deserves to be called one of the best guitarists."

The old lady clapped her hands and exclaimed in admiration.

Audience members around were seen getting up to go to the restroom from time to time.

As you walk around, you can hear faint exclamations of admiration.

"Wonderful."

"The people and the music were beautiful, but it was too cold, like being in a royal audience with the queen."

"Wow, I really don't know how Li deals with her, she's so intimidating."

"."

I looked up in surprise, not expecting to have anything to do with myself.

When he lowered his head, Li Can fell silent.

Cold? Are you cold?

That's not right.

It wasn't cold at all; they were very welcoming.

The second half of the performance continued.

After the performance ended, Winnie bowed, and the audience applauded and shouted for an encore.

Li Can took off his mask, waved the roses in his hand, and smiled at Winnie.

Winnie immediately noticed Li Can, looked over in disbelief, and her eyes lit up with immense joy.

Winnie's huge reaction drew the audience's attention to Li Can.

This immediately sparked an even bigger uproar.

"Wow!"

"Li! He's here too!"
