Entertaining Children

  Chapter 207 Bulletin Board Top Ten

  With Samien's last drum beat heavily, the whole song performance ended, and the audience suddenly burst into cheers and screams.

   Dean, flushed with excitement, stood at the forefront of the stage. At the end of the song, a trace of confusion appeared on his face suddenly, as if he didn't know what to do.

  Xiao Yao hurried forward a few steps, took Dean’s shoulders, and smiled with him to greet the audience in the audience: "Thank you, everyone, please enjoy the wonderful performance of "Daydream"."

  At Xiao Yao's reminder, the other three of the band also came to the front of the stage, waved to the audience, and then the five left together from the back of the stage.

   Seeing the five members of the band turned and left, some of the emotional audience immediately shouted "Encore". Immediately the voice went from small to large, and soon swept the audience, becoming a loud shout from the audience.

   "Awesome!" When the band returned to the backstage, everyone in the band faced Keith with a smile on his face.

   "Thank you." Everyone in the band replied with a smile.

   "The warm-up band was called "Encore" by the audience. This is the first time I met," Keith smiled and said to the band, "Would you like to satisfy the audience, go up and sing another song."

   "No, you have seen our previous live rehearsal, we only prepared this song." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly. It’s not that he didn’t think about preparing one or two more songs temporarily. Instead of new songs, just sing "Daydream" songs, but considering that the band members have too little performance experience, plus seeing the band members With the nervousness before, Xiao Yao could only give up this plan and go all out to prepare this song.

"Well, your warm-up mission has been completed very well, and it's up to us next." Keith nodded and continued, "I originally wanted to arrange a few positions for you in the front row so that you Go to the auditorium to watch our performance, but now this is the situation, I’m afraid you can only watch it backstage."

   "It's okay, we haven't had the experience of watching a show in the background yet, so it's good to feel it like this." It was Dean who answered first this time.

  The members of the "Daydream" band slapped their hands with the young people of the "Immortals" band in turn, and they stepped onto the stage. After they appeared on stage, the cheers and screams from the audience were only a lot more than when they were performing "Immortals".

   "They are still great, and the audience had such a loud voice when they first came to the stage." George listened to the audience's voice, not without envy.

   "I think we will have this day too." Dean patted George on the shoulder confidently.

   "I doubt it." George replied without giving Dean face, but his eyes turned to Xiao Yao.

The meaning of    is obvious. He is not optimistic about the prospects of the band after Xiao Yao returns to China next summer.

"Enough." Samien, who has rarely spoken all the time, suddenly said, "This band is not only Yang alone. Dean is already learning to write songs with Yang, and...even if Yang leaves next year, we It’s not the same for this band to persevere. We didn’t have Yang when we formed this band. Does he leave and the band will disband?"

   "Of course not," George and Mike shook their heads quickly.

"So, after Yang leaves next year, we still have to continue. Instead of worrying about Yang leaving next year, it is better to work harder to become better now. Young has given us a good start. How many people in the world Can a band have our current popularity at our age? Even if it is compared with "Daydream", we are already a lot lucky." Samien said with rare excitement.

   "Actually, Sammy is also learning to write songs recently. What I learned from Young, she also learned everything from me." Dean couldn't help but say.

   "Oh?" George, Mike and Xiao Yao all looked at Samien in surprise at the same time.

   "But why don't you talk to Yang Xue directly?" George looked at Samin and asked the questions that all three of them had in their hearts.

   "It's none of your business." Samien glared at George, but didn't answer.

"Okay," Dean said to ease the atmosphere, "Is there Yang here? We are all Immortals. As for what happened after Yang left, wait until Yang really left. Now, let's look at "Daydream" first. Stage performances, learn how they behave on stage. This is also a rare learning opportunity for us."

  After listening to Dean, everyone finally stopped discussing and entangled the problems after Xiao Yao left, and concentrated on watching the live performance of "Daydream" in the backstage.

  Compared to "Immortals", the performance is slightly immature, and the performance of the "Daydream" band, which has been "old guns" for ten years, is naturally much stronger on the stage. Audiences watching "Immortals" are basically novel and interesting, and "Daydream" is their object of feeling the charm of the rock band live. Xiao Yao and the others watched the "Daydream" live performance for nearly two hours in the background. Not only did they see the gap between themselves and the current top rock bands, they also gained a lot from their stage performances.

There were a lot of entertainment media and reporters present at the "Daydream" concert in Los Angeles. In addition to reporting on the "Daydream" concert as a routine, "Immortals" is a very popular and mysterious student band recently. Their public debut is also a focus of their attention. Evaluation of their live performance will also appear in the report content of these entertainment media reporters.

  Of course, no one now compares this band whose average age of members has not yet reached eighteen years with the top bands in the circle like "Daydream". Although the performance of "Immortals" is not as good as "Daydream", the live performance of an adult band still gave the media reporters a big surprise. In particular, the lively atmosphere during their performances exceeded their expectations. Therefore, it is logical to praise them together in the report of the concert.

After the "Daydream" Los Angeles concert, as the media reported and commented on the debut of the band "Immortals" as warm-up guests, their song "IMMORTALS" also improved on the billboard. After a step, after the announcement of the list in the following week, its results have come to the top ten, ranking eighth. This also makes Immortals the youngest band in the history to enter the top ten on the bulletin board. This alone, they have created a history, which can be regarded as a kind of "immortal".

   can do this, in addition to their own performance and the quality of the song is good enough, luck is also an inevitable reason. The unsurprisingly popular movie "TeenagesVigilante" is the main reason for the song's popularity. At the same time, due to their special status, the film producers have also grasped this point, and promoted the film by promoting their band, and then the method of increasing the box office of the movie is not something that everyone can run into.

  Whether it is because of the friendship between Betty Belet and Xiao Yao, or simply because of Xiao Yao's potential, Keith has been very helpful in it. Not only helped them record, but also helped them operate a series of matters concerning the release of the source of the song on the music website and contacting the radio station for charting. The last is the appearance of the warm-up guest at the concert. Keith also introduced the band as the host personally. It can be said that he spared no effort.

  The final result is also very happy, basically achieving a win-win-win situation. The band has become popular, and the movie box office is selling well. Not only does Keith’s band have a heavy band to warm up, the box office and live atmosphere of the concert are also very popular.

  "Daydream" band’s Los Angeles concert was before Christmas at the end of the year, so within a few days after the concert, it was the most important Christmas in the West.

  The importance of Christmas in the West is almost as important as the Chinese New Year. On this very important festival, Xiao Yao also brought a special Christmas gift to the band members.

  "Merry Christmas!" On the morning of Christmas Day, Xiao Yao summoned all the members of the band and handed them a check.

   "Are you kidding me?" Dean smiled and glanced at the check that Xiao Yao handed over. "Does China send cash checks directly when giving Christmas gifts?"

   "Twenty thousand dollars!" Mike, who was about to take the check, glanced at the amount on it and exclaimed.

   "What?" After receiving the check from Xiao Yao, the other people all looked at the amount written on it, and they were shocked.

   "Yang, what are you doing?" Samien stared at Xiao Yao.

   "Guys, don't get me wrong." Xiao Yao raised his hands and smiled, "This money is not mine, but your legal income. You deserve it."

   "What the **** is going on?" Dean also asked.

"The income from the song "IMMORTALS" of our band." Xiao Yao explained, "It is free to warm up "Daydream", but the movie uses our song as the theme song, but you have to pay. There are downloads from music websites, pay-on-demand from TV stations and radio stations, these are the income from this song, this song is sung by our band, and the income is naturally divided by the five members of our band. Not only you, but I also have it. ."

   "Although we always say that this song is the work of our band, you wrote this song after all, and the copyright income should be yours alone." Samin said.

"You are wrong," Xiao Yao said, shaking his head, "This is not copyright revenue, but usage rights revenue. The revenue I just mentioned is the cost of using this version of the song we performed, and the song was not performed by me alone. Singing, of course, everyone has a share. And this song will continue to bring us income in the future, this is only the income of the most recent month."

   "So, this was originally our money. You just gave it to us today. It has nothing to do with Christmas gifts." Dean jokingly said to Xiao Yao.

"Uh... it's also something to do." Xiao Yao was stunned, and then replied, "Kies once wanted to buy the copyright of this song, but I didn't sell it, and naturally I wouldn't sell it to others. This song can Only the version sung by our band will be used for commercial purposes, so in the future this song will bring more revenue. This is my Christmas gift to you."

  In the United States, a country where copyright protection is relatively good, it is not difficult for a musician to support himself for a lifetime by relying on a very famous work. Although it is difficult to feed five people with one song, it is also a continuous income. For several people in the band, it is definitely a very important gift.

   "Man, I don't know what to say." Mike said excitedly at first, "Come on, give me a hug first." Then he stepped forward and gave Xiao Yao a hug.

  The other two boys also stepped forward to express their gratitude to Xiao Yao with a hug. Only Samien was still cold, but gratefully said "Thank you" to Xiao Yao.
