Chapter Thirty-Three: The Beginning

Chen Lixing has been wandering for many years and has been to many cities.

Then he found that every city is actually similar.

The tall buildings are similar; the crowded crowds are similar; even the food is similar...

In this gradually homogeneous world, it is easy to be regarded as alternative if you want to create something special.

The songs Chen Lixing prepared this time are quite different.

A little chaotic, a little chaotic.

Although I think I can do it, I haven't really shown it in front of others. Whatever the reaction is, everything is still unknown.

I took a bus to Hangzhou last night and checked into the hotel. In addition to the band members and Fei Hua, Guo Ai also came here together.

She is a music fan herself and has been following several music festivals. And this time it was a big move in the bar, so of course she had to follow her and see the effect.

All night was fine. On the morning of the 30th, everyone got up, had breakfast, brought all the utensils, and rushed to the park of the Flower Field Music Festival.

When they were on the road, their faces were a little tense, and even Liu Hao, who had always been hippie and smiling, seemed quite solemn and nervous.

Worry about the performance effect;

Worry about whether anyone can see it;

Worry about whether someone will be booing...

These people don't have much experience in performing in public.

In the past, when I opened a stall on the street and played in Western restaurants, it didn’t count at all.

How many people on the street will stop and listen to your singing?

Unless some of them sing well, popular internet celebrities!

Fortunately, Chen Lixing was also popular when he was singing in a bar. He experienced the scenes and his psychological quality was stable.

He clapped his hands and encouraged, "Everyone doesn't have to be nervous or psychologically burdened, just treat it as rehearsal. We are not officially on stage, and we have a lot of time to adjust. If we make a mistake in one go, we will prepare for the second time. It's no big deal."

"Yes, anyway, the uncle is the lead singer, and the audience will watch him first."

Zhao Ziruo smiled and said.

When she came out to perform, she habitually put on heavy makeup and wore a burgundy wig, and no one could see her original appearance.

Guo Ai led the team and soon handed over to the staff of the music festival organizing committee, successfully entered the park, and came to the stall in the self-acting area.

The self-acting area is not small, but there are not many stalls, and there are a distance between each other. It is impossible to interfere with each other like a food street, like a food street, and then interfere with each other and cannot sing.

The infrastructure on the stalls is complete, including water, electricity, chairs, tables, etc. Put the curtains and various musical instruments on it and connect them, and it will be almost done.

After some busy work and debugging, it was almost ten o'clock.

At this time, there were not many spectators in the park, and there were two or three. The most popular places were those who sold food, souvenirs, and so on.

The stalls in the self-acting area are basically full, and some bands have already started singing. Although they are a distance away, you can still hear the sound of clamoring music.

In this atmosphere, if you choose to sing those slow lyric songs, you will be suppressed by others in minutes and have no temper.

Everyone stood at the seat, Chen Lixing glanced and asked, "Are you ready?"

"It's ready!"

"Then let's start!"

...

Today is the third and last day of the Flower Field Music Festival. The three finale bands and the popular singer Song Cheng will perform today.

After two or three days of performance, a lot of data has been reported.

The most important audience number has dropped by nearly 10% compared with last year.

The situation is getting worse and worse, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to do.

During lunch at 1:00 a.m., the main members of the organizing committee sat together and inevitably talked about this topic.

The audience has decreased, mainly due to the influence of intra-volume. There are too many music festivals in China now. In addition to the top ten music festivals, many provinces have also held them one after another. Although small local music festivals are difficult to become a climate for a while, more or less, they have diverted the audience.

Then there is the problem of aesthetic fatigue.

Over the years, major music festivals have come and go, and most of the performing guests are old-fashioned, and the works they sing only have a few representative works. After singing, they are at most re-interpreted in arrangement and given new changes.

But no matter how it changes, it will change the soup and not the medicine.

Listening to these every year, many viewers said they were tired of listening.

But there is no way, this is the market. First, it is difficult to produce good works; second, it is difficult to resonate with ordinary songs when singing on stage.

Also, there are not many bands and singers who can keep the scene safe.

Most of the songs are produced in the recording studio, with various post-production editing and rendering. The final product is naturally good.

But on the scene, except for the effects, it is difficult to operate.

If you accidentally sing the notes and sing them out of tune, you will have a car accident scene.

Over the years, car accidents have been common at music festivals. Even many veteran singers have failed. After all, there are too many unexpected factors on the scene, and it is hard to guard against.

The audience's tolerance is limited, and the number of people declining year by year shows everything.

Not only the Flower Field Music Festival, it is also recognized as the largest, the strongest lineup and the most popular Ancient City Music Festival, which has also lost audiences.

In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, the organizing committees of major music festivals spend every year trying to find ways to seek innovation and change.

However, the structure of the music festival is different from those mainstream music platter parties. The music festival is based on rock and folk songs, so it is difficult to add pop songs. Once it is added, it is not the same flavor, and the entire music festival may be ruined.

The elements of hip-hop rap can be made, but the domestic level is really not satisfactory. Most of them are related to Western trends. Apart from copying, they are borrowing and using them as a whole.

The special guests at the music festival are trump cards, and the lineup is relatively fixed and cannot be changed easily. Therefore, what can be used for changes is mainly on the special guests.

But it's hard to find.

In the entire music market, there are more bands than Niu Mao, but not many of them have their own original works; fewer ones have certain levels of works; let alone those with excellent works.

After screening these, the remaining ones are just a hundred or dozens of well-known bands.

Over the years, the organizing committees have increased their efforts to discover underground bands and finally found some people.

However, the final result is not very good.

The song audience of underground bands is rare, and there are many people who play remote, rebellious, and sick.

In addition to audience issues, you also have to face political review. If you pass the line accidentally, you will be a big deal. There are already many talented musicians who have been banned because of the line crossing. Not to mention performing on stage, it is possible to go in for a few years.

High voltage wire cannot be touched.

For this type of musician, the organizing committee had to stay away from it.

Anyway, after searching, there is really not much room for choice.

This year's Flower Field Music Festival invited newly-rising bands such as the Pin Band and the Lotus Band to be special guests, and they appeared on the stage on the first day. The on-site response was not good, and even some viewers were clamored for the sound break.

The whole lunch time was spent in this atmosphere of similar debate, but it was not clear what was going on.
