Chapter 36 The Dying Rock

"It's about time, the show begins!"

"So excited! So excited! So excited! So excited! So excited!"

"Who can tell me when Lu Fei will play?"

"Same question, I want to know too!"

"There are so many people. I really want to see it live. The feeling of being there is the best."

"The anchor is so powerful, he's going to hold a concert!"

"I am deeply worried about the IQ of this kid who talks about holding concerts..."

"Sit back and wait for the anchor to come on..."

At 7 o'clock in the evening, [Whale TV] Lu Fei's live broadcast room has soared in popularity, and the number of online channels has continued to skyrocket, reaching the 100,000 mark. The growth rate is so high that it is simply jaw-dropping.

Many fish fans took the time to log in, and the barrage filled the entire screen, making the live broadcast room extremely lively!

Because Lu Chen was going to perform, the host was Li Feiyu. Brother Xiaofei had already started the live broadcast just after 6 o'clock. With his silver-level "salesman's mouth", he was able to deceive

It has over 20,000 fans and persisted until its popularity exploded.

This was followed by a large number of fishball rewards, and Li Bai, a die-hard fan of the local tycoon, even hit three aircraft carriers in a row.

He said with great arrogance that after Lu Chen came on stage, he would give away seven more ships to give him a perfect congratulations on the stage!

Then the number of guys asking for a hug increased tenfold!

If others didn't know the inside story, seeing such a noisy and lively scene, they would probably think that Lu Chen was holding a solo concert that night, which is why everyone was so excited and enthusiastic.

Li Feiyu smiled so hard that his mouth twisted, completely ignoring the strange looks cast by others around him.

This is the scene of a music carnival night, and the normal atmosphere is noisy and lively!

Therefore, he is not worried at all that his live broadcast will affect others and embarrass himself and Lu Chen.

The more lively it is, the better it is!

The lighting around the performance venue was extinguished one by one, and the lights on the stage were fully turned on, focusing on the first Watchmen band to take the stage. The scene gradually became quiet, waiting for them to start singing.

The Watchman Band, as the opening performer, is a legend in Houhai.

The Watchmen is a national rock band that was founded 20 years ago and has persisted in pure rock for 20 years!

Chinese rock music began in the early 1980s. At that time, influenced by Western liberal ideological trends, domestic rock music began to sprout and develop, and new bands were born. By the end of the 1980s, it ushered in its heyday.

At that time, there were thousands of national rock bands, and many classics that were popular for a time emerged. However, after entering the 1990s, with the rise of commercial pop music, pure rock suffered a serious market impact.

Some rock singers follow the trend and take the initiative to change their overly personal and idealistic styles and sing soft rock or folk songs. However, there are also many rock singers who stubbornly guard the last position of national rock and do not bow to the market.

By now, Guo Yao has become a distant term, and only a handful of people are still struggling.

Watchmen is just such a band. When they were founded, Chinese rock music was already in decline, but relying on their firm belief and the support of a few fans, they have persisted in Houhai's underground music circle for 20 years!

The Watchmen have never become a big hit, nor have they released any works that are familiar to the public. They firmly believe that rock music will never die and adhere to their ideals and true intentions, so they have won the respect of many people in the industry.

Inviting them as the opening performers at the Light Blue Music Carnival Night is also a tribute to this spirit.

This is the best of times for idealists and the worst of times!

The Watchmen band has only 4 members in total, with an average age of 40+, all of them are uncle-level figures, and the songs they sing are obviously not liked and appreciated by young people.

Lu Chen had never even heard of the song "To Live Means to Die" and the song "Bullet to the Chest".

But it is undeniable that their singing is full of vicissitudes of power, and their passionate singing swept through the crowded venue, penetrated the large floor-to-ceiling windows outside the bar, and reached the ears of everyone inside.

Qin Hanyang suddenly said: "The lease of Nirvana Bar will end at the end of the year. I heard that it will be transferred out."

There was desolation in his voice, as well as a trace of sadness and sadness.

Sister Na was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses: "What about Damai and the others?"

Nirvana Bar is the stronghold of the Watchmen band and is also a member of Houhai’s underground music circle. The bar owner is a true lover of rock music. Without his support, the Watchmen band would not be able to survive today.

The "Barley" that Sister Na mentioned refers to Wheatfield, the lead singer and soul of the Watchmen, a rock veteran.

"What else can I do..."

Qin Hanyang said: "Apart from Nirvana, which bar can give them a place to sing? They have to break up."

Nirvana Bar is an old brand in Houhai, but it has never made much money. As for the reason, everyone knows.

Now that Nirvana Bar is about to close, the Watchmen band will naturally follow the tree and disperse.

He said in a low mood: "It's okay if we break up. Brother Big Mac and the others are in their forties. They should spend more time on their own lives and find a job that is stable and profitable, such as going to a music school to be an instrument teacher."

..."

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly.

When Qin Hanyang laughed at the Watchmen, he was actually laughing at himself.

Any circle has a pyramid structure. Below the successful people are countless step-downers. The Watchers are working hard to survive at the bottom. Isn't this the case with the Wandering Band?

Sister Na was silent.

On this topic, Lu Chen had nothing to say. You must know that when the Watchmen band was formed, he had just learned to walk and didn't know much about pure rock music.

But in his memory, there are really many rock classics from Dream World!

Qin Hanyang picked up the beer glass and said with emotion: "We are all behind the times. The future world belongs to young people like Xiao Lu. Let's all drink to him!"

"cheers!"

Who would deny him face when he opened his mouth? Everyone present raised their glasses together.

Whether you are toasting Lu Chen or toasting to the dying rock and roll, perhaps only everyone knows in their hearts!

Lu Chen quickly said: "Brother Da Qin is so complimentary. You and Sister Na are not left behind. I'll do it first out of respect!"

He drank the beer in the glass in one go.

This made the other four members of the Wandering Band have a much better impression of Lu Chen - they respected their senior.

On the big stage outside, the Watchman band has just finished singing.

Not surprisingly, the two original works they presented did not resonate with much of the audience. With their complex structures, obscure lyrics, and cathartic emotions, very few people at the scene could understand them.

Finally, the intense rhythm and roaring and shouting somewhat lifted the atmosphere, and many people were waving glow sticks.

The bands and singers that followed were much smarter. They didn't do any independent original work at all, and directly sang popular songs that everyone was familiar with, including soft rock, rap, and fast songs... which caused wave after wave of craze.

The more than 2,000 spectators present all stood up, raising their arms high, swaying to the surging music rhythm, or singing in unison in response to the performance on the stage, with cheers, shouts, and screams coming and going.

Also mixed with loud whistles.

This kind of atmosphere can only be truly felt when you go to the scene. It is completely different from what it is in front of the screen!

Lu Chen's cell phone suddenly rang.

The caller was none other than Li Feiyu, who was live broadcasting above. He came to inquire about Lu Chen's exact appearance time.

"Everyone is anxiously looking forward to you, and the voice of the people is extremely strong!"

Lu Chen smiled and said: "In half an hour, it should be my turn to play. I want to apologize to everyone."

After hanging up the phone, Sister Na asked curiously: "Have any of your friends come to see the scene?"

Lu Chen had no choice but to briefly explain his live broadcast.

"This is very interesting!"

Sister Na's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said: "I know, it's very popular on the Internet now. In fact, you can actually do a live broadcast in our bar and make Forgettable Grass famous at the same time."

Lu Chen really had such an idea!

Just as he was about to answer, an on-site staff member hurried over, waved the form in his hand and said loudly: "The Feidu Band, and Mr. Lu Chen from Wangyoucao, please go to the backstage of the performance to prepare!"
