Chapter 1297 The Prologue of the Era
Anson Wood, "Sorry, I didn't watch this year's awards ceremony; but I heard that it was a successful event and the awards ceremony was very exciting. Congratulations to every winner."
Reporter:...
College:…
Excuse me, did Anson just slap the academy in the face?
Understatement, leisurely, elegant, and free and easy.
The subtext of that look of talking, laughing and enjoying himself could not be more obvious: I don't care.
On that side, the college was preparing to retaliate against Anson, showing off its power like a peacock spreading its tail, trying to grab Anson's attention, make Anson regret it, make Anson upset and let Anson know his insignificance.
Here, Anson didn't care at all and didn't even watch the award ceremony.
So, who wins?
The senior leaders of the college had their breath stuck in their throats and their cheeks were swollen red. They couldn't believe that they were slapped hard by Anson again——
Whoever cares loses.
Careful, petty, narrow-minded, and embarrassing.
This is what people think of the top management of the college now.
The key point is that after Anson responded, the media was completely quiet. There was no adding insult to injury, no gloating, and no follow-up reports.
The topic of "College VS Anson" actually disappeared.
A small number of netizens took notice, and they all wondered whether the college had silenced the media, making this a taboo topic and prohibiting discussion.
If this is really the case, then the college is really embarrassed and has been thrown into the grandma's house. All face and dignity are gone. It has no magnanimity, no heart, and no brains.
Academy: I'm not I don't I don't know anything.
This time, they told the truth. The college did not put pressure on the media. Instead, Eve told the media to stop. There was no need to continue humiliating the college.
The media are also aware of the seriousness of the matter. If they continue to pursue and beat the top management of the college, it will be a small matter of embarrassment, but it will not be good if they become angry.
So, one or two of them stopped, and the topic came to an abrupt end.
However, things are not that simple.
When all the follow-up topics disappeared, there was complete silence. Not only did netizens notice the abnormality, and poured buckets of dirty water on the college as a matter of course; reporters also noticed the abnormality, and those silences turned into pity and sympathy for the college. Or fear and fear.
Precisely because the matter was bad enough, the reporters were afraid of angering the college, so they chose to keep silent. But such silence proves the tragedy of the college.
Silence has become an attack, completing the final fatal blow to the college.
Reporter: Wait, why did Eve ask the reporter to stop? Is it really because she didn’t want to continue to expand the conflict, or...?
Now, the college is in a dilemma. It is wrong to continue to argue, and it is wrong to swallow one's anger. No matter what you do, it is wrong.
Awkward.
The Academy never expected that even though the award ceremony had already been a huge victory and Anson was just an insignificant vase, why did they still feel like they had lost?
...What's going on?
However, this is still not all, the nightmare is not over - February 29th is the day when the Oscars will be held; at the same time, it is also the day when Warner Records joins forces with Apple to throw blockbuster news into the North American music market.
The first is Apple. "Another Light," which the band performed at the Grammy Awards on August 31, was officially released on iTunes on February 29.
Followed by Warner Records, the special deluxe version of the band's debut album "Midnight Midsummer" on August 31 will be officially released on February 29.
Academy: ...Is this a ploy?
This is 100% of the time, after the Grammys, Apple and Warner Records also chose to go against each other. What are you planning?
Warner Records said, "What's wrong?" Don't talk nonsense.
August 31st The band chose February 29th to release the single and special deluxe version of the album because of the special existence of leap year on this day. Just like the name of the band, it was the last day of summer. They chose February 2nd. The release of the single "Another Light" on the 19th, a special day that only occurs once in four years, represents a unique existence.
What's more, the Oscars are an awards ceremony. On August 30, the band just released a single and an album, not even a concert. The nature of the event is completely different and there is no comparison. Please respect yourself and get rid of the idea of persecutory paranoia. Don't Keep holding on to Anson.
The college immediately choked. Were they beaten down?
However, Warner Records doesn’t care whether the old academics in the academy are happy or not. The hot topics of Grammy and Oscar are there and they don’t need to be used in vain. They are not doing charity. It is the truth to make full use of hot topics to hype news and create topics.
Choosing February 29 to release the album and singles, those settings are not nonsense, Warner Records and Apple have indeed carefully considered the concept; however, why not take advantage of the popularity of the Oscars?
However, do fans care?
The answer is no.

At this moment, there is only one thought in the fans’ minds:
"Another light" is here!
finally! This time you don’t have to wait two years like “Wake Me Up”. You can immediately listen to and collect this song on your device.
Moreover, "Summer Midnight" is actually preparing to release a special deluxe edition!
Generally speaking, albums with outstanding sales will be released with deluxe editions, special editions, collector's editions, etc., in this way to boost sales and promote publicity.
Fans often complain that "record companies do whatever it takes to make money", but they still can't control themselves and continue to collect those special editions.
Previously, "Midsummer Midnight" had released a limited edition vinyl record that received acclaim. Fans praised Warner Records for not taking the usual path and using money-making methods. However, they did not expect that they would be slapped in the face as soon as they turned around.
When Warner Records announced that it was about to release a special deluxe version of "Midsummer Midnight", there was a lot of scolding on the Internet. They attacked the August 31st band for being crazy about money, and would not hesitate to destroy their reputation and take the road of making money. In fact, Disgraceful.
The so-called special deluxe edition probably only adds the song "Another Light", but fans are required to open their wallets again for this song and spend ten dollars or more to buy the special deluxe edition.
"One song, ten dollars."
This also became a complaint in online forums and spread like wildfire.
Of course, there are also some netizens who defend the August 31 band——
At a time when the band has four gramophone trophies to their name, this album deserves a special edition and they are willing to buy one for their collection.
What's more, the vinyl record is limited, and countless fans wanted to buy it for collection but were unable to do so. Now the special deluxe edition can finally make their wish come true.
"Midsummer Midnight" is worth it!
However, regardless of the voices of defense and support, controversy was still born, and various different voices began to emerge, faintly out of control.
Expectations and uneasiness, accusations and praises, complaints and voices of support are intertwined, coupled with the double blessing of Grammy and Oscar topics, the special deluxe version of "Midsummer Midnight" was launched on February 29th.
And, of course, there's the single "Another Light."
