Timothy-Leslie turned his head and looked uncomfortably. For an otaku, being in the middle of the crowd, which was already a little uneasy, suddenly became the focus of attention, which made it even more uneasy. But Timsey's attention was quickly drawn back, and when he heard "Don Quixote," he thought he was talking about the album—after all, that's what left the house today for it. Well, that's what he's good at.
It's like otaku heading to Comic-Con International in San Diego.
"As I said just now, it's a very good album," Timsey said, immersed in his own thoughts, gushing out, "Every song, I mean, literally Yes, every song can be rated more than 8. If you want to say 10, sorry, it has not reached such a high level, I personally think that there are five or five and a half songs that can be called perfect, but... huh , I mean, in the whole market now, songs with six points are very rare, and the title song of many albums may not have eight points. However, now there is another album, and every song in it can be played Eight points?"
Timsey shook his head like an old pedant, expressing his views on the album, as if in a trance, as if he had really come to San Diego Comic-Con.
"And it's still 16 songs? This is a total loss-making business. So, this album is not ten points, but twelve points! No matter which singer it is, or which company it is, it's worth it. Admirable. Compared with singers, I personally think that the meaning contained in the album is the most important. Haven't you heard this album?"
Timsey's eyes fell on everyone, and many people nodded in response, and some even laughed, "Of course I have heard it, how can it be here if I haven't heard it?"
But Timsey waved his hand and expressed denial, "I mean, listen carefully! If you listen carefully, you will realize that the arrangement order of each song is particular! Side A and Side B are also It's not just a random arrangement! Even the cover, back cover and inside pages of the album are carefully crafted. Such a well-crafted album reminds me of the golden age of music, the 60s and 70s. If I can, I would like to Go buy a vinyl record of this album and keep it forever. It's definitely one of the best albums of the 21st century, at least one."
"How old are you, how do you know what the golden age looks like? You look so young."
"Vinyl record? That's absolutely impossible. This album was released by Eleven Studio, and even the promotion expenses can't be paid. How can it be possible to have the budget to make a vinyl record."
"Best since the 21st century? Are you a professional music critic? It's so loud."
"Is the arrangement of side A and side B important? What's the point? I also noticed it. Listening to each side alone, I feel different, but when I taste it carefully, it seems to be related. What's going on?"
"You said just now that there are five and a half songs that can give full marks? Which five and a half songs are they? I think all the songs on the entire album can give full marks!"
"He's just talking nonsense. He looks like an otaku who doesn't know anything, just to join in the fun. Today, everyone came here specifically to listen to the 'Don Quixote' album. Everyone likes it. So professional."
"Eight points, ten points. We are all amateurs like us, so what are the points. Really."
"What happened just now? Why is someone screaming in front of you? Who is that person, and why is he babbling about things he doesn't understand?"
"Renly is here? What? The young master has appeared! Ahh, the young master can't tell the truth? How did he appear? Is it true?"
Imagine Chinese Network
"Master, woohoo, 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, here comes the Master! Jesus Christ! Master, Master, Master!"
…
Timsey's words were like a drop of water falling into the boiling oil pan. In an instant, the crowd boiled. The throbbing oil pan almost ignited the air. The entire waiting team was blasted, and this time it was completely lively. The noisy discussions, the excited expressions, and the excited movements surrounded the neighborhoods around the pioneer village, and burst out more than the setting sun. The ray of light completely illuminated the blue-gray steel forest in the lower/urban area, and passersby began to look sideways.
William also reacted at this time, staring at the scene in front of him with astonishment. It was only at this time that they realized that for music lovers, the name "Renly Hall" actually means nothing, because he is a complete newcomer, let alone "Master". Timsey is the most typical representative.
Everyone else in the team came over and asked all kinds of questions. Hope, Graham, Tessa, and others all took the initiative to answer—they were at the gate of the pioneer village six hours earlier today. Line up, for Renly, who has a very weak fan base, and for singer Renly, this time is enough for them to easily control the forefront of the team.
To be precise, behind them, the first fan to arrive was already 90 minutes later. When the other party came to the scene, he was shocked when he saw that someone was already lining up. He took it for granted. , a new singer's album audition meeting, and the singer does not arrive at the scene, naturally there is no need to worry.
Timsey was the eighth one in line, the third batch. He seems to have been used to such occasions for a long time, and it is not surprising. In his words, "The dissemination of niche culture is very narrow, which does not mean that no one cares. On the contrary, those fanatics are more persistent. It is like comics."
The number of people who listen is not much in essence, not in quantity but in quality. This is the reality of the album "Don Quixote".
Although the number of people today seems to have exceeded expectations, among the millions of music buying listeners in the North American market, it is still only a drop in the ocean; the sales of 6,000 copies in two weeks are only a drop in the bucket of those top popular singers. However, they still got together.
William took his eyes back from the boiling crowd and looked at Timsey, "Excuse me, are you just a music lover? So, how did you find the album 'Don Quixote'? "
"Forget it. I'm the moderator of a music-loving forum." There are fewer than 50,000 registered users and about 3,000 active users in a very small forum. Timsey has no need to hide it. To be honest, "I regularly dig out those good indie albums every week and recommend them to others on the forums. I occasionally write music reviews for some online music forums or digital magazines, but nothing serious. "
William suddenly realized, this can be regarded as semi-professional, right? "So you don't know who the singer of this album is?"
"Should I know?" Timsey looked serious.
In fact, he just saw the new album on the bulletin board and bought it reflexively, but the album is really too partial. The two small record stores and a large chain record store he often visits, Actually none, and finally found it by accident on the shelves of Walmart supermarkets. He just got it the day before yesterday and has looped the entire album infinitely more than a dozen times. After learning about today's audition event, he rushed to New York from Boston.
Now, when the other party said this, Timsey just broke away from the world of music and thought about it seriously, "You say that as if the singer is indeed worth noting." Recall, "Uh, 'Ophelia' Ya' this song is familiar..." He pays very little attention to the Billboard singles chart, and even if he does, it's to watch the charts after the fifty, top fifty pop songs, and he hardly cares," etc. , I vaguely remember the singer's name..."
After being stunned for a while, Timsey saw the smile on William's face and gradually recovered, but his first reaction was negative, "No way?"
If he knew from the beginning that the singer of the album "Don Quixote" is Renly, he would never be interested, because actors are actors, singers are singers, and those who can cross boundaries are often commercial. great achievement. Such as Barbra Streisand, such as Will Smith, such as Jamie Foxx. Their albums may sell well, but in Timsey's opinion, the quality is lackluster.
But now, this iron law seems to be broken.
"No way?" Timsey was still denying, and then saw William nod solemnly and affirmed again. Timsey couldn't help but patted his forehead hard, "Jesus Christ!" His face was full of annoyance , I can't believe that I actually attended an album listening session of an idol actor.
No, wait. Don Quixote doesn't lie, it's definitely one of the best albums of the millennium. "You mean, this album was actually performed by Renly?" Timsey asked again confirming.
William nodded affirmatively, "Yes, and all the songs were written by Renly, and he was one of the producers."
Timsey's expression suddenly became playful, what kind of actor - or singer - dared to create such an album that was not tolerated by the market? And what kind of artist can create such a slanted but outstanding album
"Can I talk face-to-face with Renly later?" Timsey became interested, clapped his hands excitedly, and couldn't wait to ask questions in person. Not as a journalist, but as a music fanatic.
"Gentlemen and ladies, everyone can come in. However, please maintain order." Janice, who was standing at the door, said loudly, "There are no seats inside, please find a seat according to your own preferences. This is a private music. The audition meeting, please consciously abide by the order."
Gudu, Gudu, the air began to boil, as if an explosion was brewing.
