Chapter 421 Talented
Amidst the laughter, the dignified and serious atmosphere relaxed, and Connor also smiled.
“There are also some invitations that are looking for us, but we have a requirement, we need to find Anson. I told the record company that the music was composed by Anson, and the soul of the performance was Anson. Obviously , they don’t care, they just want to capture the hot spots.”
“They think that if we find a new lead singer and repackage it, we can still succeed.”
"I disagree."
It must be said that Anson was very surprised.
If the creative concepts of the band and the record company do not match, resulting in no successful signing, this is to be expected. After all, Miles and the others have been a very, very special band from the beginning, with their own edges and corners. And color, they also hope to continue to stick to it.
But I didn’t expect that this was the reason.
Briefly, Anson put the talk show aside and looked at Connor, his eyes showing some seriousness, "Actually, you should seriously consider it."
Connor shook his head , "We tried, before that, after that, but we knew what chemistry we were missing."
This is the truth -
Even in the year after the "Wake Me Up" busking ended, they relied on fresh performances to attract some attention, but they were never able to create the same wave.
At the end of the round, they finally understood that the band is not a simple performance form where a few people gather together, but a brand new performance form created by a group of like-minded friends who come together to collide their talents. If the link is wrong, the result may be completely different.
Maybe Anson is not an indispensable part, but without Anson, the feeling is still different after all.
Of course, they can sign a contract with a record company, no problem; however, the ending will not change much. They are just one of countless independent bands that seem to have some characteristics but ultimately lack a soul.
Anson is the fundamental reason why they get attention.
Connor would not deny that the three of them had quarrels and differences. They were not as great and noble as they expressed. They also had their own desires and ambitions, but at the end of the argument, they still chose to refuse. .
The atmosphere is slightly solemn.
At this moment, "The Tonight Show" seems to be no longer a simple talk show, but a glimpse of some true feelings, some reality under the glamorous skin of Vanity Fair.
Applause, whistles, cheers.
The studio audience paid tribute to Connor, Lily and Miles in this way -
Even onlookers know that "rejection" is not easy.
Karen raised her hands high in the air and applauded. She knew that Connor's decision was stupid and naive in the eyes of Hollywood. Those record companies would not be moved by their persistence at all. Quite the opposite. , they will laugh at the persistence of Connor and others as unnecessary pretentiousness.
After all, this is Vanity Fair.
But real life is like this. "Everyone else is doing it, why can't I do it?" cannot be the reason for one thing to be "right", even if thousands of people choose to join in the same trend. Nor does it make compromise, betrayal, and blind obedience noble. After all, those bottom lines and conscience still need someone to stick to them.
Indeed, they were eliminated, Connor and others were not rewarded for their nobility, and their musical dreams were buried like this, but at least they did not betray themselves.
It is precisely because of this that they were able to collide with Anson and play "Wake Me Up"; and fifteen months later, they reproduced it perfectly.
At this moment, the applause belongs to Connor, Lily, and Miles.
Uncontrollably, Karen burst into tears, clapped and cheered, using all her strength to express her respect.
The whole audience was thunderous.
Connor let out a breath and looked at Miles and Lily. The three of them exchanged glances:
In the past years, they had argued, complained, regretted, regretted, and been sad. , but times have changed, and now looking back on that period, they know that they made the right decision. Despite the pain and struggle, they stuck to their bottom line.
The atmosphere in the studio is a bit subtle, as the "Tonight Show" is about to evolve into the "Oprah Talk Show" - the next scene should be crying while holding hands, and then Oprah starts distributing gifts to the audience. You have gifts, you have gifts, everyone has gifts.
Obviously, this is what Jay Leno doesn't want to see.
then.
Jay Leno spread his hands and showed a sad expression on his face, "It's a pity that we missed a good show."
"Originally, this could have evolved into a 'plagiarism incident- Copyright lawsuit - the annual drama of friends turning against each other, this is the Vanity Fair we are familiar with. Obviously, Connor, you are not suitable for Vanity Fair."
It was so touching that it became hilarious.
I have to say that Jay Leno is outstanding in his ability. He immediately turned the situation around and followed Connor's words to make fun of him, and the atmosphere in the room became warm again.
Connor was a little uncomfortable and didn't understand the meaning of Jay Leno's words for a while.
Anson turned to look at Jay Leno, "No, this series of bloody events will not happen because I have no way to prove that I composed that song."
"There is no manuscript , no audio. "
"If it goes to court, it will be my words versus theirs. Hey, Jay, the result is obvious to the three of them."
< br> Actually...can it still be interpreted this way?
Anson turned to look at Connor.
“Guys, maybe you missed your chance to be the next Bob Dylan.”
One second.
Haha, hahaha.
There were claps and whistles, and many spectators even stood up directly, shaking their heads and giving Anson a standing ovation to pay high respect to Anson.
Even Jay Leno couldn't help but want to slap Anson's thigh and applaud.
Amazing, indeed amazing -
There has always been a saying in the music industry that Bob Dylan once "plagiarized/stealed" the original works of other folk singers in the early days of his career. It was an instant success that, although Bob would neither admit nor deny, was an open secret among the real folk honchos.
Of course, Bob Dylan later relied on his talent to make a name for himself, and became a presence that cannot be ignored in the history of folk music.
Crutal, bloody, indifferent, profit comes first and any means are used.
This is the truth about Vanity Fair, and everyone involved in it is no exception.
Who would have thought that Anson would use such an allusion to make fun of the simplicity and innocence of Connor and the others. It was not a complaint or an attack, but the inadvertent expression of sarcasm could express Anson's position, but this way of expression is full of entertainment effects-
The atmosphere of the show was instantly pushed to its peak.
Even Connor and the other three looked stunned.
Obviously, they did not expect that they would be able to appear on the "Tonight Show", let alone be the protagonists of a storm of applause and laughter.
The three of them exchanged glances with each other, and then they couldn't hold back any longer. A smile crept onto the corners of their mouths, their tension relaxed a little, and they actually started to enjoy the recording of the program.
