235 Low-key debut
"What?"
Sophie jumped in place without saying that, just like Kevin, who was standing on the bed in "Hometown" and jumping three feet high. He completely forgot the embarrassment and embarrassment on his cheeks. His bright eyes and red cheeks clearly wrote about his happiness, and pink bubbles appeared out.
Sophie's excitement also infected Kane, making him laugh. He even forgot what he originally wanted to say. He paused for a moment before remembering again, "What I want to say is that you definitely don't know that the band's album has been officially released, and..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sophie's screams.
Sophie covered her mouth in time to avoid disturbing the atmosphere in the coffee house - although the rustling noise never stopped, Sophie's steps still couldn't help but jumped twice in the scissors on the spot, using whole-body movements to express her response, which was more effective than words.
The smile in Kane's eyes also flowed out, "And, the band has already started a tour, guess whether their performances include Washington?"
"Ah!" Sophie did not scream, but just sighed briefly, suppressing all excitement and excitement, expressing her joy with her eyes, and happiness overflowed, and the moving melody was still flowing in her ears-
“Everyone is chasing the light.”
In fact, it is not necessarily true that Sophie loves the One Day Kings Band so much that the band’s music is still too small, and there is no way to create further communication and resonance. Now Sophie’s impression is still at the level of touching and happiness at the concert, which is all.
However, just when I was at the lowest point, I first heard the "chasing the light" again, and then I heard two good news in a row of bands that I had a good impression of. A small sense of happiness filled my chest, and the joy and happiness even surpassed the news itself.
Many times, life is so simple.
Time is like flowing water, and the steps of summer have quietly turned to the other side of the earth. The northern hemisphere enters November of autumn, and the stars are changing? One day, the Kings Band has also embarked on a new journey.
Atlantic Records' arrangements for the band have also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Any industry? In addition to strength and hard work on the road to success? Luck can never be ignored? Just like the gold rush, a little bit of luck may bring completely different results? It is not the most important, but it may be the most critical.
The same is true for the entertainment industry.
Some works? Success is accidental; some overnight fame is also magnificent that cannot be replicated... Building a top superstar also requires comprehensive cooperation with the right time, place, and people.
One day, the Kings Band never made a name for themselves. There are many reasons, and luck is one of them. Now? Atlantic Records smelled the opportunity? Although they could not predict the future and could not be 100% sure what the success rate of this opportunity was, they decided to give it a try.
According to the original plan, Atlantic Records is preparing to wait for the band to complete their first studio album? Then, according to the process, hold a press conference, shoot music videos, comprehensively distribute the goods, and formally promote it? Promote step by step, hoping that the album can win the audience's love.
And now? Atlantic Records decided to retreat behind the scenes and give up the regular promotion? Instead, let this wave of radio craze slowly heat up and ferment? Make full use of the advantages of word of mouth to lay the mass foundation? "It is not the music that the record company forced the audience, but the music that the audience digs out by themselves."
Of course, this does not mean that Atlantic records do nothing. They are hiding behind the scenes. The first thing they do is to notify their partner radio stations to "unblock".
This is very important for radio stations because it means that the green light is on and the hosts don’t need to take risks like Daniel anymore. They can play them based on requests for songs or personal preferences.
Moreover, because Atlantic records do not require the number of playbacks, such a free space is very rare for radio hosts. Secretly, the inner balance may be tilted slightly towards the band.
This little bit of insignificant tilt, placed among millions of radio frequencies, may release incredible energy.
Then, one day the Kings successfully completed all the recording work in the recording studio.
Atlantic Records released the album in a low-key manner without any publicity, and directly sent the One Day Kings on the tour.
Although this kind of appearance is not the magnificence and grandeur she is looking forward to, shining with the glory of the spotlight, in fact, countless independent bands set out like this.
In 2002, Magic Red released its first studio album, "Love Songs to Jenny". This album was released by BMG Records, one of the world's five major record companies. It was the last glorious era of rock, but the album still did not make any splashes.
For the next two years, the Magic Red Band has been touring, either on the tour or on the way to the tour. Until 2004, "Love Song to Jenny" finally opened up the market, won the audience's recognition, and won the band's Newcomer of the Year Awards at the Grammy Awards ceremony in February of the following year.
At this time, it is still four months before the album's official release date.
Magic Red is not the first band to make such a twist and turns, and the King of One Day will not be the last such band.
The Kings Band, who embarked on the tour again, seemed to be not much different from signing up for Atlantic Records before. They still lived in a motel, were still running on the road, and were still wandering around the tour venue, and... they were still unknown and no one paid attention to them, and nothing was real.
But that's not the case.
The situation and situation of the band have changed dramatically.
First of all, the tour is no longer a bar or restaurant venue, but a regular performance venue. Although it cannot be compared with Bruno's venue, it is also a medium-sized venue that can accommodate 1,000 to 3,000 people. Without a regular company, it is a regular venue that is absolutely impossible to book.
Secondly, the entire tour was held under the company's arrangement, including professional teams such as drivers, assistants, sound engineers, lighting engineers, directors, etc. This also means that the band has officially broken away from the shackles of amateur performances, and all performances have become formal and professional, with different levels.
Finally, because the capacity of the tour venue has increased significantly, Atlantic Records recommends that the Kings invite one group to two groups of friends to tour in one day. If the band cannot invite a suitable partner, the company will come forward to send an invitation, hoping to create a performance effect of one plus one greater than two.
Touring is still a tour, but it is a professional that was unimaginable before.
Chapter completed!
