Chapter 1224 A ray of starlight

In a rare moment, Warner Records released a special edition vinyl record of "Midsummer Midnight" without making money. It was released in limited quantities to give back to the fans.

Ten thousand vinyl records, labeled from number 1 to number 10,000, each album is unique.

Furthermore, Warner's record price tag is thirty US dollars - US$29.99, which is a conscientious move. This move has won unanimous praise from the fan base.

As you can imagine, the release of this vinyl record will definitely cause a sensation.

Because it is a limited edition, even the band members themselves cannot own it -

There are no exceptions.

It is rumored that the black market price of this vinyl record has soared to US$7,000 in less than two weeks, but it is still expensive but not available.

No wonder Anson couldn’t be surprised when he saw this vinyl record in the crowd.

"Thirty minutes?" Anson couldn't believe it, his eyes showed surprise, "...Why?"

Archie looked at Anson's sign language and couldn't hold back his smile.

Anson was extremely serious, "You should know that there are no special tracks in it, it's just the album tracks remastered into different formats, right?"

In Anson's view, vinyl records There is no difference between tapes and CDs. They are just different carriers of the same album. There is really no need to treat them specially.

Archie watched the band members in front of him look at his own vinyl record curiously and excitedly. The happiness in his eyes and cheeks conveyed warmth, and his mood also soared.

“Collectible value.” Archie gestured with both hands, “This is a limited edition.”

Anson's face was serious, "The so-called limited edition is just a gimmick used by record companies to make money. You should easily take the bait."

Haha, hahaha.

Archie smiled silently, "It's not expensive, only thirty dollars. The record company didn't cheat the money."

Anson nodded slightly, but his expression was still slightly reluctant.

Archie understands that Anson’s attitude has never changed——

Music, that's all about music, it shouldn't get any more complicated.

Everything from the release of the album, to the band’s European street tour, to the music itself.

Can anyone imagine that?

In the album "Midsummer Midnight", there is no music video for any song, no different versions of the album, no special sales promotion, no signing activities, nothing, everything is simple and pure, Even seems crude.

But it is precisely this kind of album that can be bought at Wal-Mart for $9.99, but it has sold five million copies in North America.

"Thank you." Archie gestured.

Finally, he finally said it.

Anson didn’t understand, “Why?”

“Music.” Archie gestured again, “Thank you for still believing in music and dreams. In today’s commodity society, no one wants to believe it. . ”

“Thank you for still being willing to make sounds and use melody to dispel the darkness. My world is quiet and silent. I need some noise to awaken the vitality of life. I am very happy that I can still hear your music. .”

"I once hoped that I would disappear. If I didn't exist, I wouldn't be a hindrance to others; if I didn't exist, I wouldn't be a burden to others."

"But now, I hope to continue to exist. I hope that I The existence of others can be the strength for others to continue to fight and continue to believe in their dreams.”

"Just like you."

"So, thank you."

Archie thought he would be nervous - in fact, he was extremely nervous; but his mind was busy The boiling thoughts were conveyed like this without any hindrance, which made Archie feel happy.

Oh yeah!

Archie clenched his fists and cheered for himself.

Not only Anson, but Miles and the others also noticed the scene in front of them, as did other spectators around them. The Staples Center was still noisy and bustling, the endless cheers and shouts were pouring down like a torrential rain, and the red carpet was burning.

However, in a corner above the red carpet, it was a little quiet, with pairs of eyes staring at Anson and Archie.

Even if they didn't understand what happened, they could still feel the power from Anson's focused and sincere eyes, and their messy thoughts settled involuntarily.

The world is noisy but quiet. Two completely different words coexist harmoniously and beautifully at this moment.

Anson looked at Archie and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

“Did you know? The reason why the night sky is beautiful is that there are countless stars. People always pay attention to those bright and bright stars, but those insignificant stars are just as important. They use their faint light to support the sky. little night sky "

"Perhaps, standing on the earth, what we see is just a little faint light, but after traveling a hundred thousand light years, they are actually shining in their own world, and they are also their own world. The most shining existence in the world.”

"Do you believe it? You are just as bright."

Anson's sign language movements were not fast because he was not sure how to express the difference between Chinese and English sign language movements; and in his previous life, he worked in a school for the deaf and mute. It's so far away, my memory is fuzzy.

Back then, because of his father’s violent incident, he was kicked out of the TV station. He was bullied online and became notorious. There was no job willing to accept him.

Finally, a school for the deaf gave him a job as a cleaner.

People always treat these people differently because of their "disabilities" and "obstacles"; but in fact, they are also ordinary people, ordinary people like everyone else.

Some people are physically sound, but that doesn't mean their minds are sound enough; some people are physically disabled, but that doesn't mean their other parts are also disabled.

That experience was an important turning point for Anson to regain his strength and regain his hope.

At this time, Anson looked at Archie in front of him.

He must gesture.

“So, thank you, thank you for liking our music.”

besides.

Anson stretched out his right hand, looked into Archie's eyes, and spoke word by word with his mouth.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Anson."

Archie looked at Anson in front of him, a warm current surged in his chest, and he was caught off guard, his vision blurred, but he didn't Wiping the tears from his eyes, a smile bloomed amidst the tears, and he spoke wordlessly with the shape of his mouth.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Archie."

However, this was still not the end. Anson turned around and introduced the band members one by one, ensuring that Miles and the others could get to know the little friend in front of them.

Archie's heart was beating wildly in his chest. He couldn't describe his excitement and excitement at all. He tried to say something, but he couldn't express it clearly because he was too excited. Anson raised his hand to ask Archie to calm down and slow down. Slow expression.

Archie took a deep breath.

"Sorry, please...can you sign my vinyl record?"

Anson smiled cheerfully, "Of course, do you have a pen?"

A question stumped Archie. He touched his pocket and his expression froze.

Obviously, Archie has no experience, has no idea how to chase stars, and is not prepared at all.

Now I am watching the band members on August 31st very close to me, but they are embarrassed because of the carbon pen.

What should I do now?

Anson raised his head and looked aside, "Sorry, who is carrying a carbon pen?"

In the crowd, an arm was raised high, "Me!"
