“Double happiness？”
Now it was Renly's turn to be confused. How could he, as the person involved, not know what else he had done today?？
Everyone at the scene raised their hands and applauded Renly to celebrate Renly winning his second role as an actor, but Renly was still confused when he stood on the stage..
Stanley immediately saw Renly's confusion, laughed loudly, and said to Neal, "See, I told you, he definitely doesn't know anything and has no clues at all..”
Neil didn't care at all, he rubbed his hands excitedly, "Believe me, believe me, after you see this news, you will be as happy as us!" Then he turned around and went to the back of the stage and found I pulled a rope and pulled it down, and a banner fell down with a swipe. The huge handwriting on it accurately conveyed the message.：
Congratulations to "Cleopatra" for reaching the top 100 spot on the Billboard Singles Chart！
Renly's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he bit his teeth so hard that he almost dislocated his jaw. This... this... this is even more serious than when he defeated Ryan Reynolds and won the role of "Buried Alive" It’s unbelievable. To be precise, it’s a fantasy. Even if Renly had to guess a hundred times, he wouldn’t associate the surprise with being on the Billboard singles chart.！
“See, I told you! "Neal shouted loudly, his face full of uncontrollable excitement, "I told you! Then he rushed over and gave Renly a big hug, "It happened, all this is really happening!" Can you believe it? The latest Billboard singles list was just announced this morning, and 'Cleopatra' really made the list.！”
Not long ago, "Cleopatra" relied on the popularity of "Pacific War" to enter the iTunes instant download rankings. Renly thought this was incredible enough. At the time, he thought it was just a flash in the pan and he was completely uninterested. .But the development of things was beyond Renly’s expectation..
Three weeks ago, "Mixer" magazine strongly recommended the song "Cleopatra" in a special report, once again pushing the song's popularity to a different level in an unexpected way. height.
“"Mixer" is an independent professional magazine in the North American music industry. It was founded in 1999. It has a lively style, sharp language and humorous titles. It quickly became a best-selling magazine. Its professional attitude and music inventory became the biggest selling points. In the short In just five years, it has grown rapidly, surpassing the other two independent music magazines in the industry, "Rotation" and "Vibe". It once threatened the status of the industry's top magazine "Rolling Stone", forcing the latter to try new styles..
2005In 2016, "Mixer" was selected as the best journal in the United States..
However, in recent years, the powerful impact of the Internet has begun to challenge the dominance of traditional paper media. Many magazines have encountered bottlenecks in their operations, including "Mixer". After many attempts at reform and innovation have failed, , in April last year, "Mixer" announced its official suspension - it only stopped the publication of the paper magazine, but the online version continued to be published..
Although the paper magazine has become a thing of the past, the online version of "Mixer" is still very popular, especially among the younger generation of readers. Relying on Facebook, Twitter and the immediacy of the Internet, "Mixer" His influence has not declined but has risen, and his authority is beyond doubt. Many people are willing to discover their favorite independent musicians from the recommended music list of "Mixer".
In the issue of the first week of May, Mixer's professional music critic Clyde-Coughlin wrote a special review on folk music.
The first half of the article mentioned the bad situation of folk songs in the United States. Even among independent singers, folk singers have almost disappeared. The areas where folk songs are really developed are still in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and a number of outstanding people appear every year. music and creators.
Clyde believes that the real reason for this situation is that American music lacks foundation. Folk music is a form of music that requires profound literary foundation and profound thinking ability. Since Bob Dylan, in nearly twenty years, , there are no ballad creators worthy of admiration in the American music circle. Especially under the strong offensive of commercial interests, music has begun to be industrialized like movies, gradually losing its own characteristics, and falling into an inextricable quagmire..
It’s as if Hollywood is losing its artistry and becoming a paradise for commercial movies; North American music is also embarking on this path of no return, not just folk songs, but also pop, hip-hop, electronic and other music types..
In the second half of the article, Clyde recommended some noteworthy folk singers.
The first one to bear the brunt is naturally the Train Band. The song "Hey, Life Girl" should strictly be classified as alternative rock, but the song combines folk, soul, rock and other different styles to form the unique temperament of the Train Band. Won a lot of applause. This single did not attract any attention at the beginning of its release, but with the spread of word-of-mouth, it gradually entered the public eye and finally achieved incredible results.——
At the time of this article's publication, "Hey Life Girl" has cracked the top 10 on the Billboard singles chart, the first time in a decade since Elton John to do so. Such a successful folk single attracted exclamations of exclamation, and was also the motivation for Clyde to write this article..
In addition, singers such as Gotye, IronWine, Jack-Johnson, The-Weepies, and MumfordSons are also Came into Clyde's sight.
Among them, Renly Hall's name is also among them..
“This is a mysterious guy, and almost no relevant information can be found. So far, he has only created one single, which is so low-key that it is not much different from a missing person. But just with this single, this newcomer is enough to attract people. everyone's eyes.
’Cleopatra' is a cheerful and sad single. The poetry and connotation between the lines are heartbreakingly beautiful, reminding people of the beauty of music again. The lyrics follow Cleopatra, the most famous person in history. The famous tragic woman tells a story about women, love, and freedom. The brisk music and bitter sadness burst out indescribable charm under the touching interpretation, making people unable to extricate themselves..
’The only gifts God has given me are one life and one divorce, but I know the script and the costume is just right, so I will play my role well..’
Life is like a play. Everyone is just an actor on the stage, but they can’t help themselves. They can only follow God’s script and act like a marionette. They have no freedom, no life, and no soul. Beautiful words like poetry. Touching the softness in the heart of every listener, sadness dims in the eyes, followed by turbulent reflections, which reminds people of Bob Dylan.
Renly Hall, his future is worth looking forward to.”
A brief music review, but not stingy with words of praise. It can be seen that Clyde’s admiration.
