601 Meet the fans
Timothy-Leslie turned around uncomfortably and looked around. For an otaku, being stuck in a crowd was already a bit uneasy, but suddenly becoming the center of attention made it even more uneasy. But Timsy's attention quickly came back and he heard the words "Don Quixote". He thought he was discussing this album - after all, it was for it that he left home today. So, this That's what he's good at.
Just like nerds heading to San Diego Comic-Con.
“As I said just now, this is a very outstanding album." After Timsi spoke, he was immersed in his own thoughts and continued, "Every song, I mean, literally Yes, every song can be rated above eight points. If you want to say ten points, sorry, it has not reached such a height. I personally think that there are five or five and a half songs that can be called perfect, but...huh , I mean, in the entire market now, songs with six points are already very rare, and the title songs of many albums may not even have eight points. However, now there is an album, and every song in it can be scored. eight points？”
Timsy shook his head, as if he were an old scholar, expressing his opinions on this album. In a trance, it seemed as if he had really arrived at the San Diego Comic-Con International..
“And there are still sixteen songs? This is a completely loss-making business. Therefore, this album is not a ten-point one, but a twelve-point one! No matter which singer this is or which company this is, this is worthy of admiration. Compared with the singer, I personally think that the meaning contained in the album is the most important. Haven't you heard this An album?？”
Timsi's eyes fell on everyone. Many people nodded in response, and some even laughed and said, "Of course I have. If you haven't heard of it, how could it appear here?"？”
Timsi waved his hands and expressed his denial, "I mean, listen carefully! If you listen carefully, you will realize that the order of each song is very particular! Sides A and B are also It’s not a random arrangement! Even the cover, back cover and inner pages of the album are carefully crafted. Such a carefully crafted album reminds me of the golden age of music, the 1960s and 1970s. If possible, I think Buy a vinyl copy of this album and keep it in your collection forever. This is definitely one of the best albums of the 21st century, at least.”
“How old are you and how do you know what the golden age was like? You look so young.”
“Vinyl records? That’s absolutely impossible. This album was released by Eleven Studio and they can’t even pay for the promotion. How can they have the budget to make a vinyl record?.”
“Best of the 21st century? Are you a professional music critic? What a loud tone.”
“Are there particular arrangements for Side A and Side B? What's the point? I also noticed that when I listen to each side individually, I feel different, but when I taste it carefully, it seems to be related. What's going on?？”
“You just said that there are five and a half songs that can get full marks? Which five and a half songs are they? I think all the songs in the entire album can get full marks.！”
“He is just talking nonsense. He seems to be just an otaku who knows nothing and is just joining in the fun. Today everyone came here just to listen to the album "Don Quixote". As long as you like it, there are so many major.”
“Eight or ten points. They are amateurs like us. How can we give random scores? Really.”
“What happened just now? Why is someone screaming in front of me? Who is that person? Why is he babbling about things that I don’t understand?.”
“Renly is here? What? The young master has appeared! Ah ah ah, isn’t it difficult for the young master to explain? Why did he show up? true or false？”
“Master, woo woo, master! God, I'm dying, I can't breathe！”
“Wait, wait, why did someone say that the young master appeared? Who is the young master? Hey, do you know? Who is the young master?？”
“Ah ah ah, the young master is here! Jesus Christ! Master, Master, Master！”
……
Timsi's words were like a drop of water falling into an oil pan that reached the boiling point. In an instant, the crowd was boiling, and the fluttering oil pan almost ignited the air. From the beginning of the line, it detonated all the way, vigorously. The whole waiting team was blown away, and it was completely lively now. The noisy discussions, the excited expressions, and the jumping movements, surrounding the blocks around the pioneer village, burst out with a sound that was brighter than the setting sun. The light completely illuminated the blue-grey steel forest in the lower city, and pedestrians passing by began to look sideways..
William also reacted at this time, looking at the scene in front of them with dumbfounded eyes. Only then did they realize that for music lovers, the name "Renly Hall" actually has no meaning, because it is just a A complete newcomer, not to mention being called "Young Master", the Timsi in front of him is the most typical representative.
Other people in the team came over one after another and asked various questions. Hope, Graham, Tessa and others all took the initiative to answer them - they were at the Pioneer Village six hours early today. There was a queue at the door. For Renly, who had a very weak fan base, and for the singer Renly, such a time was enough for them to easily control the front of the line..
To be precise, behind them, the first fan to arrive was already ninety minutes later. When the other fan came to the scene, he was shocked to see people queuing up. He took it for granted. , a new singer’s album listening session, and the singer doesn’t arrive at the venue, so there’s no need to worry.
Timsi was the eighth person to come and queue up, which was considered the third batch. He seemed to have been used to such occasions for a long time, and he was not surprised. In his words, “The spread of niche culture is very narrow, which does not mean that No one cares. On the contrary, those fanatics are more persistent. Just like comics.”
The number of people listening is not about quantity, but quality rather than quantity. This is the realistic portrayal of the album "Don Quixote".
Although today's number of people seems to be somewhat higher than expected, among the millions of music-buying listeners in the North American market, it is still just a drop in the ocean; the sales volume of 6,000 copies in two weeks is only a drop in the bucket of those top popular singers. However, They still gathered together.
William withdrew his gaze from the excited crowd and looked at Timsi, "Excuse me, are you just a simple music lover? So, how did you find the album 'Don Quixote'?？”
“I guess. I am the moderator of a music lovers forum." It is a very small forum with less than 50,000 registered users and only about 3,000 active users. Timsi has no need to hide anything and is honest. He said, "I dig out good independent albums every week and recommend them to others on forums. Occasionally I write music reviews for some online music forums or digital magazines, but nothing serious..”
William suddenly realized, this can be considered semi-professional, right? "So you don't know who's singing on this album？”
“Should I know? "Timsi had a serious expression on his face..
In fact, he just saw the new album on the bulletin board and bought it reflexively. However, the album was too popular. The two small record stores and one large chain record store he often visited, There was none, and he finally found it accidentally on the shelf of Wal-Mart. He just got it the day before yesterday, and looped the entire album for more than ten times. After learning about today's listening event, he rushed over from Boston to New York..
Now, when the other party said this, Timsi broke away from the world of music and thought about it seriously, "You said it like this, it seems that the singer is indeed worthy of note." Recall, "Uh, 'Ophelia' "This song is very familiar..." He pays little attention to the Billboard singles chart. Even if he pays attention, it is to look at the list after the fifty, the top fifty pop songs, he hardly cares, "etc. Wait, I vaguely remember the singer’s name……”
After being stunned for a moment, Timsi saw the smile on William's face, and gradually came back to his senses, but his first reaction was negative, "No way.？”
If he had known from the beginning that the singer of the "Don Quixote" album was Renly, he would never have been interested, because actors are actors and singers are singers. Those who can cross boundaries are often in business. Those who have achieved great success, such as Barbra Streisand, Will Smith, and Jamie Foxx. Their albums may achieve good sales, but in Timsi's view, the quality is lackluster..
But now, this iron law seems to be broken.
“No way? "Timsi was still denying, and then saw William nodding seriously and affirming again, Timsi couldn't help but slapped his forehead hard, "Jesus Christ! "My face was full of annoyance. I couldn't believe that I actually attended an album listening session of an idol actor..
No, wait. The "Don Quixote" album doesn't lie. It is definitely one of the best albums after the millennium. "You mean, this album is really sung by Renly?" Musi asked again confirming.
William nodded in affirmation, "Yes, and all the songs were composed by Renly, and he was also one of the producers..”
Timsi's expression suddenly became playful. What kind of actor - or singer - dares to create such an album that is not tolerated by the market? And what kind of artist can create such an eccentric yet outstanding album?？
“Can I talk to Renly face to face later? "Timsi became interested, clapped his hands excitedly, and couldn't wait to ask questions in person. Not as a reporter, but as a music fanatic..
“Gentlemen and ladies, everyone can enter. However, please maintain order." Janice stood at the door and said loudly, "There are no seats inside. Please find a seat according to your preference. This is a private music audition. Yes, please consciously abide by the order.”
Gurgling, gurgling, the air began to boil, as if an explosion was brewing..21027
