Chapter 89
Chapter 89: First Single
The white shell-shaped arch, the ceiling inside the shell is hung with spotlights of different sizes, the brown wooden floor extends back a little bit in the field of vision, and behind the heavy white arch is the hillside with green trees and yellow land. Today’s weather is a little cloudy, which makes the scenery in front of you a little colder.
Rows of red lacquered wooden benches extend back from the front of the stage, behind which is a street where people come and go, and green trees can be seen on both sides, making it a good place to escape the heat in summer. The square, which does not seem to be very wide, once accommodated 26,000 spectators in the summer of 1936, and the scene was spectacular.
Sitting down on the bench in the middle, listening to the sound of the engines coming and going behind him, Sean-Mayer took out a few CDs from the bright green backpack and handed them to Gu Luobei.” “Bell, this is It’s your single. Congratulations! ”
There were no sensational press conferences, no album conferences crowded with guests, no lively interviews with reporters, and Gu Luobei’s first single appeared in his hands without a sound. Of course, today is only March 30th, and there are still two days before the official release of the single on April 1st, but Gu Luobei knew, as did the other three people present, that there would be no applause. Independent musicians release albums, as always, they are quietly listed, and whether they will become famous later, everything is unknown.
Gu Luobei took over his single and looked at it carefully. Teddy Bell directly leaned over, hoping to see Gu Luobei’s first single as soon as possible. Even Eden and Hudson had a slight Leaning over, he looked at the CD in Gu Luobei’s hand without any concealment.
This small envelope, which is no more than five inches long and wide, is all white. I don’t know what material it is, and it has a delicate graininess to the touch, which reminds Gu Luobei of the friction between the bell pen and the drawing paper when sketching. A maple tree is drawn in the lower left corner of the cover. The branches and leaves are not lush, but the branches stubbornly extend in all directions. This maple tree leans on the left side of the cover and goes up along the side edge, occupying about half of the height. : Go to the right along the lower edge, occupying less than half of the width. Maple trees are drawn with pencils, and the maple leaves that should have been red and flaming are just sketched with quilling brushes. The faded maple trees do not have the flamboyance of autumn, but are more desolate in early winter. On the upper right of the maple tree, there is a sentence in English cursive, “Just a dream just.a.dream and there is a line of handwriting in a slightly smaller font size, “Evan-Bell”. In the lower right corner of the cover is still “11 produced” handwritten with a pen.
On the entire white cover, there is only one arrogant maple tree and then three lines of characters, which are simple and generous, all of which are drawn by hand and have a little artistic power, and also have a strong personal style.
Opening the back cover, two maple branches slanted out from the side edge, with three maple leaves hanging in isolation on them, black and white. At the bottom is also a line of English handwriting, “11 produced, 〖free〗to choose and issue”. Apart from that, the back cover was actually nothing but pure white.
, “It’s really Belialization.” Eden-Hudson said the first sentence after arriving in Los Angeles today. There was no wavering in his voice, but there was an indifferent smile in his eyes.
Sean-Mayer heard the words and patted Eden-Hudson’s arm, “What is “Belization?” “Shan En-Mayer is obviously the oldest among the four, but because of that baby face, he looks the youngest.” Gu Luobei’s calm and vicissitudes of life will never be eighteen Aged feeling, coupled with Sean Mayer’s lively way of speaking, it’s like a curious little brother.
So, Gu Luobei clearly saw Eden-Hudson rolled his eyes and could even imagine the scene of a crow flying over his head. Sean-Mayer is really not afraid of the iceberg of Eden-Hudson, and his nerves are really big.
Gu Luobei couldn’t help but wonder how Sean-Mayer’s character persisted after working in this society for six or seven years. Although the society says that intrigue is too exaggerated, it is also a difficult world.
But on second thought, perhaps it is precisely because of Sean-Mayer’s lively personality that he chose this independent record company as his manager at [Freedom]. After all, contact with independent musicians is simpler.
Eden-Hudson didn’t explain the idea, judging from his appearance, he didn’t even agree with Sean-Mayer’s idea. In the end, it was Teddy Bell who spoke, “Belification should mean that, like Evan, he is characterful, flamboyant, and elegant. Right?” Teddy Bell looked at Eden Hudson.
There was no response, only one look.
Teddy Bell had to look at Gu Luobei again. Gu Luobei was the only one who could read Eden Hudson’s intricate eyes. Although it has not been confirmed by Eden-Hudson, Teddy-Bell estimates that even including Eden-Hudson’s own circle of friends, only Gu Luobei can read his eyes, so he is willing to put himself Show the real side to Gu Luobei.
Gu Luobei smiled and nodded, expressing approval, but turned to look at Eden. Hudson, “However, Teddy’s surname is Bell too, and your sentence “Bellization” includes him as well. “The subtext is to make fun of the inappropriate invention of the term Eden-Hudson.
Eden-Hudson rolled his eyes and didn’t answer. But Gu Luobei understood it, what he meant was that Teddy Bell was the same, and also belonged to the category of “Bellization”. Gu Luobei was stunned for a while. In his opinion, Teddy Bell’s character was too far from his own. Looking back at Teddy Bell, I only saw the simple and honest smile on his face. His name “Bear” is indeed more appropriate.
So why does Eden-Hudson say that Teddy-Bell is also very “Bellish”? But there was no time to think about it at this time, and Gu Luobei heard Shane-Mayer laugh, “That’s true.
When he said that he wanted to shoot the cover and inner pages, Bell said that it would take time and money, and it would be better for him to paint it himself. Within a few days, he scanned the envelopes and inner pages he had drawn, which shocked our company. ”
As an independent record company, 〖Freedom〗 has definitely seen many independent musicians who are arrogant and eccentric, but Gu Luobei, who is flamboyant and free-spirited, is really rare. Even when it comes to things like singles and albums, Gu Luobei thinks what is what. The hand-painted cover, although it is not unusual, actually hand-painted a maple tree, and it has not been painted yet. It is indeed full of personality.
“But I didn’t see it. You not only wrote a good song, but also a good sketch.” Sean-Mayer raised his hand and hit Gu Luobei’s shoulder, but when he was about to drop his fist, he still The fist turned into a palm and patted lightly. Gu Luobei did not miss this subtle change [Dzi Bead Change].
It seems that Sean-Mayer has learned a lot in society over the years. Maybe at the moment when he dropped his fist, Shane-Mayer realized that he and Gu Luobei were familiar with each other before, and today was the first time they met.
However, Gu Luobei showed a smile and didn’t mind at all, which made Sean-Mayer, who was a little nervous in his heart, put his heart down, “I’m from the architecture department, and sketching is the basic skill.”
In fact, this is a half-truth.
In the past life, under the expectations of his parents, Gu Luobei, like most of the poor post-80s, began to learn his specialties since he was a child, such as piano, cello and painting. ten years. After that, he was worried that too many extracurricular activities would affect his studies, and all three specialties were stranded. Among them, painting became one of his advantages in entering the Department of Architecture. However, the musical dream generated by the piano and cello was buried forever. in the bottom of my heart.
What’s even more ironic is that he graduated from the Department of Architecture. Because of the talent of architects, it was difficult for him to get ahead, and he could not get long-term development in the first place. For the sake of his girlfriend, he gave up his career as an architect and chose to become a reporter. Thinking about it this way, in fact, in his last 30 years of life, it can be said that he achieved nothing, and finally left in such a useless way. This kind of life is completely a joke.
Although Teddy Bell grew up with Gu Luobei, he never watched his younger brother learn painting. But in Teddy Bell’s heart, it’s not surprising that his younger brother is an omnipotent genius. Therefore, there is no doubt about Gu Luobei’s piano and painting talents.
“In fact, this hand-painted cover is also very distinctive. It can not only match the style of the song, but also a personality.” Sean Mayer is an agent and works for an independent record company, so he is not interested in commercialization. I don’t pay much attention to it, but I am very keen on protecting the original characteristics of independent singers. “This cover you drew, and “It’s just a dream, fit so well that many people would have the idea of buying it.” UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”
“The cover is the cover. If you want to sell a single, you still want the song.” Gu Luobei looked at the CD in his hand. Shanen and Mayer gave Gu Luobei ten copies in total, probably for Gu Luobei himself. To give away. Because the packaging is very simple, it is only a thin sheet, and the accumulation of ten sheets is not much thick. Teddy Bell took the CD from Gu Luobei and put it in his backpack.
“The day after tomorrow’s concert has to do well, so it’s not bad for everyone to buy some singles on the spot.” Gu Luobei said with a smile. In today’s society, wine fragrance is also afraid of alleys, and without a good publicity platform, no matter how good the music is, it will be on the street.
At this moment, there was a loud noise from the right side of the stage. When Gu Luobei and the others arrived just now, a group of people gathered around the stage to discuss something. It seemed that they were singers who had been rehearsed once, discussing the matters needing attention on the stage, and then proceeded to the second rehearsal.
Sean-Mayer’s attention was also attracted by the stage, and he smiled, “The rehearsal on the stage is the finale band, Linkin Park.”

Finally, Happy Valentine’s Day!
