King of Stage

what's the situation?

　　 Ronan was full of question marks.

Obviously, the band is now facing a difficult and desperate situation. From the chaos after the unexpected performance tonight, we can smell some clues. This should be a dilemma related to the life and death of the band, and the differences of opinion within the band have made the situation even worse. Get tricky.

　　 But, what is the situation? What is the specific problem? Ronan did not have time to organize a thought.

Or to be more precise, Ronan still has not been able to fully integrate into reality, always immersed in the joy of seeing the light and being on the stage, and has not spent time carefully thinking about the situation-for him, There are more impactful things at present.

　　 Joy, before the taste was finished, bitterness and difficulties were already on his face, forcing Ronan to quickly stand firm and adapt to the situation.

　　 But... I haven't figured out what happened, how should I respond?

　　 Since just now, Ronan has avoided speaking lightly, otherwise he may expose his feet if he is not paying attention. It is not a way to explain it with a high fever head every time. In the final analysis, it is necessary to really figure out the situation so that he can get rid of the passive situation.

　　 Ronan, who became the focus of his teammates' attention, frowned slightly, seemed a little troubled, and seemed a little hesitant, and did not express his opinions easily.

　　 As expected!

　　 Seeing Ronan's expression like this, Cliff was a little irritable, and the subsequent words jumped out rudely, "Aren't things clear enough now?"

　　 "Even if we are willing to continue to complete the tour, we don't have any income. What should we do about gas, accommodation, and other daily expenses?"

　　 "Well, we can pay for it out of our pockets, let alone say that the five of us can't find a green banknote combined in their wallets. Even if we complete the tour by begging all the way, what's the point?"

"No one is waiting for our performance. Those bars won't care, those alcoholics won't care, let alone those music producers. There is no hope, no meaning, no value, nothing, then, what are we insisting on? What?"

　　 "We paid out of our pockets to complete a tour that was meaningless, hopeless, end-point, and ineffective, then?"

　　 "There is no more."

"This is not the first time, and it won't be the last. In the past five years, haven't we experienced enough? Haven't similar blows enough? Don't forget, how did we get to today, How did you start the second journey? Didn't we have not tried hard, we hadn't tried hard, but the result?"

　　 "Otherwise, what do you think is the reason for Trastan to do this?"

As he talked, Cliff's voice came to an abrupt end. His excitement and loss of control leaked from his sharply undulating chest. His red cheeks seemed to explode at any time, and his watery eyes were so embarrassed and so flustered. , Hurriedly lowered his eyelids, concealing his fragility.

　　 Maxim didn't speak, he stubbornly stuck his neck, and turned his gaze to look into the distance, but his tight arm and shoulder muscles revealed the turbulence in his heart.

　　 Olivier lowered his head, rubbed his eyes secretly, and then turned his head in a panic to look in the other direction, leaving only the back of his head.

　　 The air fell silent, and there was a faint croak of frogs in my ears, and the noise of the night seemed to slowly settle down.

　　Tristan-Cuban (Tristan-Cuban).

The name struck through the brain like a bolt of lightning, awakening the chaotic memory in Ronan's mind, linking the scattered fragments like keywords, and echoing Cliff's words, and the ins and outs of the matter also emerged in a vague outline. , At least not in a blind state anymore.

　　 One Day King Band, originally formed in 2005, is composed of Ronan, Ollie and Maxim, three freshmen studying at the University of California, Los Angeles.

　　 Originally, this was purely a hobby band, which is the garage band that countless high school and college students in North America have tried. It was established as an amateur band in the garage of my own home, mainly for self-entertainment.

When entering the sophomore semester, Maxim because of music met Cliff, who was one grade higher than them, by chance, Cliff also joined the band as a guitarist, and the band has entered a new stage of development. , And gradually began to stand out among the performances on the university campus.

Thanks to Cliff’s extensive contacts, the band began to win more performance opportunities, and was appreciated by an independent record company. The band members also had the idea of ​​officially entering the music field, and finally reached a consensus. The four members Qi Qi chose to suspend his studies, signed a contract with a record company, completed the recording of his first album, and was ready for his official debut.

something unexpected may happen any time.

In 2008, the subprime financial crisis that swept the world caused the record company to go bankrupt. Even though the album has been recorded, it has been unable to produce on a large scale, not to mention the distribution and distribution in the United States. In the end, the King's debut plan will be like this. At the last moment, he was forced to stop. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

In desperation, the band members returned to the campus to continue their studies, reading books and performing at the same time-bar resident singing, commercial performances, etc., but never got a second chance; but the band members refused to give up easily and graduated smoothly. After that, in order to allow the band to continue its development, the four members have done a lot of part-time jobs.

　　 Ronan used to work in gas stations and convenience stores, and also helped commercials sing commercial songs; Ollie used to work as a waiter in a restaurant and also went to construction sites to build scaffolding.

　　 Cliff used to work part-time as a real estate agency and also worked in an advertising agency for nearly six months; Maksim maintained his income as a tutor for guitar and saxophone.

　　The terrible situation continued intermittently until last year, in 2011, an agent named Trastan Kuban appeared.

Trastan is also an alumnus of the band members, but he is three years older than Cliff. He graduated early and became a music agent. Because of Cliff’s matchmaking, Trastan made a special trip to watch the King for a day. The band performed two live performances, and after various evaluations and considerations, it was finally decided to sign with the band.

　　 After three years of silence, the band finally ushered in a second chance.

After signing with Trastan, the performance opportunities of the King’s Band in one day have indeed risen sharply. Not only did they serve as warm-up guests at some small concerts, but they also did opening performances for the NCAA football game. There are many opportunities for exposure, and it continues. Accumulate performance experience.

　　 On the one hand, the King’s Band a day accumulates popularity and performance experience through commercial performances; on the other hand, Trastan has been contacting record companies, hoping to find a second chance for the band to record a new album.
