Why is it worth going to the scene?
’s past answers may have been immersive shock, or close communication. With the third issue of "Run to!" With the launch of "Ten Thousand People Live", this question has a richer answer.
Chun Band uses its own "dazzling" rock and roll to compete with Samuel's singing and dancing on the stage. The styles are so different that the audience's love becomes the only criterion. Perhaps in the current market, the audiences for the two styles are clearly distinct, but on the live stage, style has become an irrelevant variable, and the difference between the two is only a mere 4 votes.
Facing the test of the audience, Jia Lun d.won & Jing Shenghui josh grew up at the speed of light, transforming from live noobs into performance invitation harvesters. Jia Lun d.won, who was still crying in the first episode, may have been thinking about which industry partner's music festival to perform first in the third episode.
box office has become the only criterion, truly breaking into the performance market. Different from the perfection that previous music series strived for, "Run to!" "Ten Thousand People Live" accommodates all emergencies and uses imperfection to achieve a perfect experience. It can be said to be the most "atmospheric" music variety this summer.
In this real experiment, during the journey to the venue with tens of thousands of people, musicians are also finding 10,000 ways to open the venue.
Ten Thousand Ambition Live
When I met the Chun band, they had just finished the next stage of rehearsals in Changsha. The shirt on the lead singer of
Dang Qian is already wet. When the sweat gets into his eyes, he wipes it with his sleeves. They have a kind of gangland atmosphere after being beaten during a live performance. They like to call their fans "brothers" and call them fans to come to the show. It’s “brothers support.”
In recent times, the Chun band has been performing in various places. In the second episode of the program, Chun Band's "Weeds" was commented by netizens as #被狠做了 by this rock band; in the third episode, Chun Band's "Young Poor" hit another climax.
But for the Chun band, the most impressive stage is "Evening Breeze" which has not yet been broadcast.
For a long time, the Chun band wanted to add children's voices to "Evening Breeze". However, I am short of money and cannot afford to hire a professional choir. The lead singer Dang Qian asked everyone to go home to find relatives and primary school students learning guitar, and finally arrested the children at the gate of the community. In the end, the trip failed, and the Chun band had no choice but to shelve the idea. Until "Go!" When I played it on the stage with thousands of people, this idea came to mind again. The
Chun band told the director team about it, and everyone quickly helped the band implement it. "This little long-cherished wish finally became a reality," Chen Libo, who rarely had serious moments, said with emotion.
""Run to! Thousands of People Live" is very rich and easy-going. You can say whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want." Guannan of fine band has the same idea as Dang Qian, "The program team gave us a lot of space, A high degree of freedom."
Guannan is a man of few words and has an almost obsessive obsession with music creation. In his mind, the work comes first and the performance comes last. “First make the work well, and then do the performance, which will make it last longer and more stable.” In comparison, Qiao Xi from the fine band is more active. After Guannan finishes talking about the music work, she will laugh and talk about the communication and interaction between the band.
"Through the program, we get to know many interesting musicians, and we all become friends. We chat privately about a lot of music-related things, or things unrelated to music. Anyway, everyone will have a good time."
Compared with The cruel live broadcast of "Singer 2024", "Run to!" "Ten thousand people live" is more relaxed, they can enjoy the stage in a very chill state.
If the key word of the fine band is "be yourself", then the key word of Tang Hanxiao may be "find yourself".
As a music producer, Tang Hanxiao has too many dazzling resumes. "The Unknown One", "Let Me Stay By Your Side", etc. are all popular hits and have been performed again and again by many musicians.
When he stood in "Run to!" When "Ten Thousand People Live" was on the stage, those glorious past bothered him and restricted him."I especially know how to be a producer, because I know what the movie needs, what the artists need, and what the market needs, but people don't know what my own songs are like."
As a planner, Liang Long always worked for Tang Hanxiao Pity. "In China, his production ability is unparalleled and definitely counts. Every stage he performs has a special sense of design, his body expression is also very good, and the content of his works is also very rich, but I don't know why the performance is always a bit inferior. Can't open. "
Liang Long is a good friend of producer Tang Hanxiao, and is also the number one fan of musician Tang Hanxiao.
He has always felt that pop music is particularly lacking in musicians like Tang Hanxiao. "We don't lack good-looking people, we don't lack ugly people, and we don't lack powerful people, but we only lack people with a 'poet-slut' temperament like him. He should find his audience."
So, he Give Tang Hanxiao advice. "Next time when you introduce Tang Hanxiao, don't mention the label of producer, sacrifice it, don't arouse the audience's expectations, let everyone only see the musician, the audience's taste secretion is still very magical." Tang Hanxiao was in Liang Long's Taking the proposal a step further, he not only abandoned the label of producer, he also boldly chose a new song "Galileo".
"This song has not been released yet, and this program has not been broadcast yet." Tang Hanxiao wanted to leave the first singing of this song with a personal tone to "Run to!" "Thousands of People Live" stage, "If you hear it, you will definitely hear the live version of the show first."
"The songs I wrote before, such as "Cassini" and "Doomsday Ship," are all about myself "Galileo" may be an extension of a very personal philosophy and cosmology, because I feel that I am not particularly able to integrate into this era," Tang Hanxiao told Music Herald, "I have many ideas that will be reflected in it. Thinking about it for a long time, Galileo was anti-authority and out of tune with the times at that time, but he was really right for a long time in the future. "
From childhood to being yourself, to being yourself. Looking for themselves, musicians unfold ten thousand ambitions on the stage. In this arena where "box office is the only criterion", musicians seem to have become divorced from the box office. Is this a contradiction?
The answer is actually not. In every ticketed performance, musicians invariably choose to constantly refine their works and present their best performance to the audience. Whether you are yourself or looking for yourself, you essentially want to present your best self to the audience.
Ten Thousand Live Trials
As a core member of the band, Liang Long doesn’t know when the market and audience will truly accept second-hand roses.
The weather, stage, and ticket price all affect the performance, and the audience atmosphere during the performance is always uncertain. Even if this one is packed, the next stop on the tour may be deserted. Looking at the entire market, you can't even be sure which music style will suddenly come out on top in this era.
It can be said that the only certainty of live performance is uncertainty. musicians can only prepare themselves to face trials again and again.
published in the first issue of "Run to!" In "Ten Thousand People Live", Jin Dian Datou, the lead singer of the Seventh Club, encountered the most serious stage accident of the whole show. When he sang "Drunken Guaqua", the microphone suddenly went silent, and he could only start over and sing it again. "I was confused, and I was completely exhausted physically. When I danced, I became less and less energetic, and the more I danced, the less energetic I became."
After leaving the stage, Jin Dian stayed alone outside the recording studio for an hour. "I think left and right, the one on the left comforts me, the one on the right tosses me, the one on the left says to check it carefully next time to avoid such a problem, the one on the right asks how such an accident could happen on the stage, it's really unprofessional "
In order to perform better next time, in addition to reminding himself to check all the equipment next time, Jindian Datou started to exercise between rehearsals and performances. "Having good physical strength is the lead singer of a disco funk band. Professionalism”.
However, even more experienced touring musicians still cannot avoid the difficulties on stage.
came to "Run to!" Before "Ten Thousand People Live", Wang Jingwen had been touring offline livehouses for three years. "Actually, I have been really looking forward to being able to go on a bigger stage, face more audiences, and achieve more of what I want to do. I have been writing songs, so I hope more people can understand My work, "
Before coming to this stage, Wang Jingwen imagined a lot of "more", but she didn't expect that the first thing she got was "more lost".
"I am originally a pessimistic and introverted person. I always think about my mistakes on the stage over and over after I get off the stage." Wang Jingwen said, "I have also watched many teachers' performances. Only recently have I felt that I was in a big group. In the venue, it's not enough for you to make a small move, you have to do a lot of design to be able to support the entire venue."
Tang Hanxiao suddenly had a problem with his voice before the performance, and he could no longer sing during the rehearsal.
"There are always some fans at the scene who bought tickets because of you. Because you came to this city by plane, you must be responsible for your fans." Before the show, he went to the hospital urgently, took hormones and atomized, and finally insisted on singing. Finish the last word.
For supper moment, the band with the most experience in live performances, the charm of the scene still lies in the unknown, but this time the unknown does not come from the stage or the audience, but from the musicians on the stage.
supper moment has been established for 18 years, and the tacit understanding between them needs no introduction. "Because we are on the stage, especially in the live house, everyone plays music freely." Lead singer Sunny can often hear some small improvisations by his teammates through the ear monitors, which was something that was not available in the recording studio at that time. "I just You will be slowly attracted to each other and interact with each other in this way, and gradually the audience can feel it. "
You have to be a little "conservative" and a little "experimental" without any scruples.
This is the advanced experience of live performance extracted by Diplodocus. One side of the scale is conservatism, which is a sense of belief. The times can be different, the music can be different, and the outward expression can be different, but the inner sense of belief must remain the same; the other side of the scale is experimentation, trying different things. Maintain your sense of belief and then break through your comfort zone.
Perhaps the balance between these two sides is the test that live performance brings to musicians.
The possibility of a concert with ten thousand people
When he received the invitation from the program team, Liang Long was attracted by the element of "going to ten thousand people".
"Going to tens of thousands of people seems to be a quantitative change from one base to another, from a small range to a large range of cognition. But going from a livehouse with a hundred people to a livehouse with a thousand people is not that difficult nowadays. Walking to a livehouse There is another dimension outside. It is definitely a difficult process to go from a live house to a venue with thousands of people that is truly yours. "
What does a concert with thousands of people really mean to a musician?
Everyone agrees that a concert with ten thousand people is a "milestone" in a music career. However, as the conversation continued, everyone had their own personalized and exclusive expectations for the concert with thousands of people.
Wang Jingwen's tone began to overflow with happiness. "I was really looking forward to the concert with thousands of people last night. I want to fulfill all the things I promised my fans in a small live house at the beginning." She imagined that fans could turn on the flashlight of their mobile phones for her, Create a sea of lights. Every audience member held a light tube with her name written on it (she changed it to a glow stick after someone reminded her). People can also buy her peripherals, and her voice can echo in the venue for a long time.
For Jindian Datou, a concert with ten thousand people is not enough. What he looks forward to is a disco scene with ten thousand people, so that the happiness of ten thousand people can be accumulated on the stage.
Supper Moment, which has performed in dozens of concerts with thousands of people and performed at Hung Hom Stadium, answered this question with one of their songs "l.i.f.e".
"life means life in English, and it is also a live scene."Guitarist Martin said that they looked back on their past lives in that song, and the most vivid ones were the emotions at the scene. From the bottom of my heart after 18 years of supper moments, "The scene is actually life. "
For the entire music industry, what does a concert with thousands of people mean?
Backstage at "Go! Ten Thousand People Live", Liang Long said something to the Cynics: "Selling a thousand tickets at a live house performance , Cynic took 1 year, Secondhand Rose took 15 years. "
In Diplodocus's memory, Secondhand Rose began to combine ethnic and folk elements. At that time, people felt that they were trying to please the public and could not understand how rock music could do such a mashup. Times have changed quietly. When the Chun Band, the Cook and the Actor Band After the performance, the atmosphere in the audience was so good that there was nothing to say. Industry partners joked with Diplodocus, "You see how many bands are influenced by you. "
" Now everyone has become very relaxed, and they even feel that folk music is something we should stick to or something we should express confidently. "Liang Long said, "I found that the children in the rock band have actually become very confident, and the market has also become confident. This makes me particularly happy. "
This confidence is also the answer given by "Run to! Thousands of People Live" to the industry.
On the stage, "Run to! Thousands of People Live" allows a very diverse style to collide and compete. Liang Long has been through so many episodes of the program, he It has been witnessed that in the small venue of the live house, the rock band controls the fans and is a complete leader; on the slightly larger stage, the pop, R&B, singing and dancing styles begin to release their own sense of power
off the stage. From ticket sales livehouses to campuses, Liang Long believes that the competition is becoming more and more interesting because "Run to! Thousands of People Live" has achieved the "composite" of the audience group, and the audience's preferences in music style have also been eliminated, leaving only the student group. With this common identity, the group has narrowed, and the richness of the audience has broadened.
Diverse music styles meet diverse music audiences, and Liang Long is very excited to see all this. "The industry has opened up this opening. The market that comes down must be diversified. Only a diversified market can have diversified experiences. Only with diversified experiences can there be accurate selection and judgment of content. "
When a diversified market is formed and the "blind boxes" of various music styles are opened, Liang Long hopes that the entire market can have a more positive aesthetic. "It's not that we ask for whose aesthetics, but you can choose what you think Good things, but there is no need to denigrate things that you think are bad or that you don't like. "
It is precisely because of this that Liang Long constantly introduces musicians to industry partners. He always feels that this is his responsibility, which can turn the short-term benefits of a music variety show into long-term effects, allowing all kinds of music All styles can grow and develop in a balanced way in the market.
At the end of the interview, Liang Long told us:
“In the past, many musicians or music critics would evaluate a music style as niche, marginal, or marginal. Alternative, especially underground. I really don’t like this word. I have always hated this saying. No music is underground, and all music should be aboveboard. ”
