The biggest feature of the 72h Grassland Music Festival, and what is also the most talked about, is that on its stage, status and fame are not important at all. The audience will judge the singers based on their live performance.
In other words, whether it is Liao Jia or Lu Chen here, there is not much difference from other singers even if they are just performing on the street. Everyone is standing on the same starting line and competing on the same stage.
Of course, famous singers will definitely get a lot more attention, but that's all!
Liao Jia's "challenge" to Lu Chen originated from this. He was very serious. If a singer wants to break through himself, 72h is undoubtedly a very suitable stage.
He challenged Lu Chen, and other singers were also challenging him and Lu Chen.
Liao Jia is a very proud person. He admires Lu Chen, but he will never be willing to be Lu Chen's foil here.
Showing all the strength is the recognition of the challengers.
It is also the greatest respect for the audience.
72h is actually equivalent to a large-scale singing competition. The judges are tens of thousands of enthusiastic audiences who come to Yeshan Park. Many of them come from all over the country and come thousands of miles just for their feelings.
It was approaching noon, and as the opening ceremony of the music festival was about to be held, more and more people gathered in the park. Standing on a high place and looking around, everything was dark and there were tents erected one after another.
Freedom, openness, and tolerance are the themes of the 72h Grassland Music Festival. There is no need to purchase tickets to attend the 72h Grassland Music Festival, and there are no distinctions between seats and seats. You can watch and go as you go, and it’s no problem to camp and stay!
However, due to the large number of spectators, the management of Wild Mountain Park began to restrict the entry of spectators near noon to prevent the number of visitors from exceeding the park's capacity.
In addition, the large advertising LED screens on the east and west sides of the park will simultaneously broadcast the video footage of the main stage in real time to divert the audience and reduce the pressure on the venue.
In addition, hundreds of security personnel and a large number of volunteers work together to maintain the safety and order of the music festival.
On the first Friday of March 2016, the weather was exceptionally sunny, and the warm sunshine shone in the Yeshan Park in early spring. There were crowds of people and the smell of music permeated the air.
As soon as 12 o'clock arrived, twelve outdoor speakers placed in different locations in the park simultaneously played passionate music, and the passionate singing violently impacted the eardrums of all the audience present.
The crowd was shocked into silence for a moment, and then burst into earth-shattering cheers and shouts!
The 20th 72h Grassland Music Festival, a carnival for free pop music fans, is about to begin. The opening music is the familiar rock classic "Rebirth Tomorrow" by the Black Crowes.
This song "Rebirth Tomorrow" is not only the famous song of the Black Crowes, but also the pinnacle of national rock. Almost all singers who have sung rock and roll have covered and practiced it.
As long as they hear this very familiar melody, people will always think of the glorious days of Guoyao.
But tears filled my eyes!
Among the audience who came to the music festival, there were many old fans in their 40s and 50s, and the rock and roll years they had personally experienced had long been etched in their memories.
So when "Rebirth Tomorrow" played, they roared and sang along loudly, like passionate young people!
The atmosphere of the music festival was pushed to a climax from the beginning.
Different from those ordinary large-scale outdoor events, the opening ceremony of the 72h Grassland Music Festival could not be simpler. There are no colorful flags fluttering and loud gongs and drums to cheer, no beautiful models and etiquette, and no long speeches by the big-bellied sponsors.
, not even a host.
On the big stage, the band for the first performance was already in place, and then Liao Jia came on stage as the singer representative.
This big brother figure in the pop music world is wearing a black long-sleeved cotton shirt with the image of Gao Yi, the lead singer of the Black Crow Band, and tattered jeans on his lower body. He has unruly long hair tied into braids and a dark face.
with distinction.
He stood in front of the microphone and said in a deep voice to the thousands of spectators below the stage: "Hello everyone, I am Liao Jia. I am very happy to stand here with you again and enjoy the happiness that music brings to us."
"It's been twenty years, how are you all?"
Liao Jia shouted the last sentence with all his strength, with a kind of hysterical vicissitudes and nostalgia.
"good!"
Countless spectators responded loudly, with countless hands raised high, and their shouts gathered into a sea of sound, spreading in all directions and reaching every corner of the Wild Mountain Park.
After Liao Jia waited for the audience's emotions to burst out, he nodded and continued: "I won't say much else. You are here to listen to the music, and I am here to sing. That's it!"
He grabbed the microphone, took it off, and threw it to the lead singer behind him: "Come on!"
The next moment, applause, screams, and whistles sounded one after another, and could not subside for a long time.
In such a noisy atmosphere, the first band to participate in the 72h Grassland Music Festival, also a local band from Beijing, the Engine Band, began their performance.
Lasting for 72 hours, a gluttonous feast for pop music fans officially kicked off!
At the same moment, Lu Chen was sitting in the corner of the backstage area. He was watching the live video broadcast on the big screen in front of him, and his mind was wandering.
There is no live TV broadcast of the 72h Grassland Music Festival, but the copyright of the online live broadcast was purchased by E-Net Music. The live performance can be watched online, and the number of online viewers is quite astonishing.
Anyone who cares about original domestic pop music will not miss this extraordinary performance.
After experiencing the initial excitement and excitement, Lu Chen is now very calm. When he recalls his musical journey along the way, he always feels like he is still in a dream.
Maybe it’s because everything happened too fast!
"Lu Chen, what are you thinking about?"
Just as Lu Chen was deep in thought, Wang Jing came over and sat down next to him and asked curiously.
Lu Chen came to his senses, smiled at her and said, "It's nothing, I just missed our performance."
Wang Jing said: "It's still very early for us to go on stage. Aren't you nervous now?"
Lu Chen laughed dumbly and shook his head.
Wang Jing was embarrassed: "I'm a little nervous. I never thought I would have the opportunity to participate in 72h."
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Believe me, your stage will only be bigger in the future!"
Lu Chen is not just talking, he has created the Nirvana band as his own exclusive band. This band will accompany him to a more glorious stage, and 72h is just the beginning.
Wang Jing bit her lip and said, "Thank you, Lu Chen."
She has many reasons to thank Lu Chen. She thanks Lu Chen for helping her when she was in the most difficult time. She thanks Lu Chen for allowing the Nirvana band to continue to survive and regain a new life. She thanks Lu Chen for investing huge sums of money to allow Wang Hui to create the high-end recordings he dreams of.
Shed, thanks Lu Chen
She had not thanked Lu Chen properly and seriously.
Lu Chen's contract with the New Nirvana Band, including her and Wang Hui, was very loose. There were no strict restrictions or exploitative conditions, but the treatment he provided was above the average level in the industry.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome, we are friends."
Friends? Wang Jing nodded silently.
After a while, she stood up and said, "I'm going to practice."
Lu Chen: "Okay."
Just as Wang Jing left, another person sat next to him and handed him a can of beer.
"This girl is interested in you, so you can't be sorry for Fei'er, otherwise don't blame me for being rough with you!"
Lu Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Liao Jia, you think too much."
"It's better that I'm overthinking it."
Liao Jia carelessly pulled the ring apart, took a few big sips, and then said: "I told Lao Tan that pretty boys are unreliable. Lao Tan said that you are not, but I will keep an eye on you!"
Lu Chen shook his head, opened his beer, and touched it with Liao Jia: "You'd better give up on this idea, I won't give you a chance to use violence, and even if you do, you are no match for me.
"
"I admire your confidence"
Liao Jia clenched his left hand and his joints crackled: "Tonight I will beat the shit out of you and let you know what a man who really sings rock and roll is like!"
Lu Chen was curious: "Brother Liao Jia, is the new work you produced tonight pure rock?"
"Are you scared?"
Liao Jia gave him a look of contempt: "Tell me first, what song are you going to sing?"
Lu Chen replied without hesitation: "Rock!"
"Rock?"
Liao Jia opened his eyes in disbelief: "Are you going to sing rock music?"
Lu Chen became famous for his folk songs, especially the campus folk style he pioneered, which won him wide popularity among young people and was known as a folk music talent.
Lu Chen also wrote many rock songs, but most of them were sung by others, such as Wandering Band, Compass Band, etc. The only one he sang was "Chasing Dreams".
Now he actually wanted to sing rock music at the 72h Grassland Music Festival instead of his best ballads. Liao Jia couldn't help but be surprised.
72h is not a talent show or a recording studio. Singing here is unplugged and untuned. There are many senior rock fans in the audience, and they can tell if the quality is slightly off.
And rock music is very difficult to sing!
Lu Chen, who is used to singing lyrical and nostalgic ballads with a voice like this, can he sing live rock, even light rock?
Liao Jia was deeply suspicious: "You don't want to lose to me on purpose, do you?"
Lu Chen returned a look of disdain: "Aren't you scared?"
Liao Jia's blood suddenly boiled over: "I'm afraid of you, you idiot, just don't cry if you lose!"
Lu Chen laughed and said, "Okay, let's make a bet. Whoever loses will go back and treat us!"
Liao Jia slapped his hand on the small stool: "It's a bet!"——
