Chapter 171 A Blockbuster
"The entertainer is on stage."

Hearing the sound coming from the monitor headphones, Madison Bill took a deep breath, turned around, and gave a thumbs up to Hanyi, Karen Guo and other team members.After seeing everyone clapping their hands to encourage her, she nodded emphatically, indicating that she had received the signal, and then, with a burning smile, she trotted up the stairs.

The reason why she "saw" the clapping was because at this moment, all her hearing was used to capture the sound in the earphones.

"Introduce yourself in 15 seconds, keep it short."

Madison Beal was right on center stage when another command came through the headset.

All the searchlights hanging above the auditorium had been extinguished, and even on the stage, only the top light and face light following Madison remained on.

For this tour of Future Now: The Tour, no fluorescent wristbands were distributed to the audience. In other words, this mid-range performance that only sold 7100 tickets did not have extra budget to decorate the auditorium.Therefore, all Madison can see at this time are the indistinguishable faces and arms of the audience closest to her, and their mobile phones held high.

Madison knew they were shooting video, but there was no doubt that the screens were facing away from the stage, so she couldn't see any details.The blue light from the mobile phone screen can only turn the audience into blurred, strange creatures that resemble deep sea jellyfish.

Standing by the beach in the middle of the night, with a bright moon above your head and a deep and dark sea in front of you, a few luminous jellyfish undulate on the surface of the sea.

That's all Madison Beal saw.

It is difficult for most performers to be stage fright on such a large stage, and this is the core factor.

The audience is full of jellyfish, and the audience is full of jellyfish.

Repeatedly hinting to himself in his heart, Madison raised the microphone to his mouth with his right hand, raised his left hand high in the air, and introduced himself loudly.

"Good evening, Atlanta!"

"I'm Madison Beal...are you ready to party tonight?"

The voice fell, and deafening cheers rang out in the venue.Madison knew very well that these cheers were not that they were welcoming themselves or looking forward to their performance, they were just happy that the concert was finally about to start.

In a state of high excitement, even if Madison yelled "Wubba Lubba dub-dub" on the stage, most people in the audience would follow suit without knowing it, but they were quite supportive.

"Madison Beal? The Instagram model?"

"She's not an Instagram model, it's like an artist signed by Justin Bieber."

"What's the difference then?"

"Damn it, she's hot!"

"I'd hit that!"

Naturally, Madison couldn't hear the various discussions whispered in the audience.Because the last sentence of self-introduction was not finished yet, another male voice gave instructions in the headset.

"Here we go, Melodies, 2, 3, 4..."

As long as the curfew time agreed with the venue is not exceeded, it is perfectly normal for the main guest to pace up and down on the stage, chatting with the audience and taking the opportunity to recover their physical strength and voice.After all, this is their performance, their home stadium, and if they can listen to them talk more, the audience in the audience will feel that they have earned back their ticket prices.

But the opening guests are different. The time wasted by the protagonists is all picked out of them.

There is no chance to breathe, three songs in 15 minutes, plus the opening and curtain call, the time that can be delayed is less than 30 seconds.

So, before Madison could react, the prelude to "Melodies" sounded in her monitor earphones, as well as the metronome hitting her eardrums regularly, making crisp sounds.

"Verse! 3, 4!"

In order to ensure that the singer does not take the wrong beat and the performance goes smoothly, the audio engineer of the FOH mixer will also help the artist count the beat directly at the entrance of each vocal.

Stage performances have never been about the singers on the stage wrestling with the darkness alone.Behind her stood an entire professional team that made people feel at ease.

All Madison needs to do is to follow the instructions step by step and play normally.

"The melody haunts my head,
Little notes danced lightly on the bedside.

Songs intertwine and intertwine in the hair,

Black and white piano keys can be seen everywhere..."

Ina Watson, the main creator and producer of the song "Melodies", became famous in later generations for the song "How Deep Is Your Love" with Calvin Harris.But in 2016, she was also a composer who spent more time behind the scenes.Her clients are mainly teen pop groups such as Little Mix, JLS and The Wanted.

Therefore, this kind of music that would not be obtrusive as the theme song of any Disney TV series, Ina Watson can write dozens of songs a day.

The bad side is that the melody is straightforward, the lyrics are old and clichéd, and the arrangement and orchestration are particularly templated.

On the bright side...

Fans of Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas will love this one.

"Heart beating a throbbing drum,
Play my favorite songs on loop.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony rings in my ears,
going on and on..."

Their idols sang similar youth songs and became popular all over the United States ten years ago.The melody and libretto of "Melodies", as well as the MV produced in 2013, played simultaneously on the big screen behind Madison, are like a DMC-12 in "Back to the Future", taking these away from the [-]s The "adults" of the song are brought back to the era when Teen Pop dominated the music scene.

Holding up their mobile phones or soft drinks, many people began to wave their arms up and down to the strong drumbeat, shaking their bodies.

While it’s no longer the kind of music they’d lock their bedroom doors over and over again, it’s still fun to revisit in the safety of a concert.

"How old is this song?"

"Who knows, maybe it was the song she released when she was eight years old."

"CHEESY!"

Of course, in any occasion, there will never be a master of anti-tone who is drunk and sober.Criticizing this blatantly generous teen pop song in a sharp, humorous, or downright unkind way can make them more valuable to their friends, partners, or children.

At least they think so.

"The melody of Do Re Mi,
Simple as ABC,
But as beautiful as a symphony,

I'm talking about your relationship with me..."

"The melody lingers in my head,

It echoes in my heart all the time.

I was a little out of tune,
Being meticulously tuned by you has made me a better version of myself..."

To be honest, Madison Beal on stage didn't feel anything special about the debut single Scooter Braun and Isle Records chose for her.

To put it bluntly, it may be more appropriate to describe it as disgust.

Bubblegum teen pop is not the label Madison wants to put on herself.

But likes and dislikes are likes and dislikes, and professionalism is professional. This song is tailored for her vocal range. From 2013 to now, she has sung "Melodies" at least two hundred times. McGrady just stands on her head with her eyes closed, and puts two vases on the soles of her feet , can be done precisely without any errors.

If the emotion is not here, it will not be a good thing, but it is enough to serve as the first song of the opening set and give a good start to the next performance.

"Great, one more time, Verse, 3, 4!"

"Chorus, all in!"

"Bridge in 2, 2, 3, 4..."

In an orderly manner with the mixing console and the monitoring station, Madison Bill continued to advance the song, and the second verse, the second chorus and the interlude all ended smoothly and smoothly.

"Boy, Ni is my favorite song.

In my earphones, I only want to connect to your voice. "

"Brilliant, Madison, well done!"

The applause from the audience was far less enthusiastic than when she appeared on the stage, but the applause was not bad. The expression on Madison's face did not froze at all. She had long expected the response of the song "Melodies".The corners of his mouth maintained a near-perfect professional arc, and Madison tapped the monitor earphones with his fingertips, giving the audio engineer and other support teams recognition.

"Now, a quick 15-second intro, Cold Water, go!"

"I'm very happy to be in Atlanta to open for Demi and Nick, and I really appreciate everyone's enthusiasm. Next, my second song, called "Cold Water"..."

"Justin Bieber, Major Lazer." Standing in front of the FOH mixer, Zhao Youzhen softly reminded Madison of the key points that should be discussed next.

"This song is a collaboration project with Justin Bieber and Major Lazer. It hasn't been officially released yet, and you will be the first to hear it live."

Compared with the self-introduction when he appeared on the stage, Madison's description of "Cold Water" is much more accurate and detailed, and the sensation caused by the audience is more intense and real.

"Look, I said it, she's signed by Justin Bieber."

"Bieber...cooperated with Major Lazer? What the fuck, this news is too crazy!"

"Didn't he already make a song with Major Lazer?"

"That's Jack U, both with Diplo, but not a combination."

"Which combination is Major Lazer?"

"The one who did Lean On!"

"SHUT YOUR HOLE! No way!"

There is no need to take off the earphones to listen carefully to the new round of cheers and screams. Just judging from the vibration of the stage under his feet, Madison also knows that it is much louder than before.

She knows very well that most of these sudden increases in applause are due to Justin Bieber.Another small part comes from electronic music lovers who can quickly associate Major Lazer with "Lean On".

This is the significance of collaborating with epoch-making phenomenal artists.

Even if she is not on the scene at all, even if she does not sing on the same stage, she can be lifted to a whole new level in the eyes of the audience.

Madison Beale, who sings "Melodies," is an Instagram singer out of nowhere.

What about Madison Beal, who worked with Justin Bieber and Diplo on "Cold Water"?
"OH—MY—GOD, the first song of the new song...give me your phone!"

Fourth row left, a young redhead anxiously asks her boyfriend to hand her the backpack.

"As long as this song is released, she will definitely explode!"

The explosion is a bit exaggerated, but there is no problem with the increasing exposure.

After all, five years forward and five years back, anyone who can appear in the same song as Justin Bieber's name will basically become popular quickly, or become a superstar at all.

"The face light is dimmed, and the top light is changed to white."

"Turn off the other lights and play the lyrics VJ."

Amidst the increasingly noisy speculation, Live Nation's performance team still strictly followed the timetable of the call sheet to implement each link.

The light on Madison's head and face turned into a purely cool tone, combined with the dark blue ball engraved with the Major Lazer logo slowly falling on the big screen, creating a scene that is completely different from "Melodies". grim atmosphere.

A staff member sprinted onto the stage, handed Madison a stand with the mic on it, took the handheld mic from her, quickly turned it off, and slid down the other side.

"The metronome is four bars ahead, and Justin's stem comes out first—don't sing, wait for my signal."

"Cue Justin, 2, 2, 3, 4..."

"You know, there are times when everyone chooses to let their spirits reach the pinnacle of bliss.

After all, when life hits a low point, what other way is there to escape? "

In the first four bars, Madison lowered his eyes, grasped the bracket with his left hand, and held the microphone tightly with his right hand, quietly admiring Justin Bieber's vocals together with the audience.

This is the approach deliberately designed by Han Music's team. In the song "Cold Water", Justin Bieber is the absolute protagonist, and it is also an excellent support to help the audience better remember the name Madison Bill.Play Justin's vocals first, and then let Madison follow up from the fifth bar of the main song, which can better raise the fans' expectations.

"It's Justin!"

"His voice is beautiful!"

Among the fans of the Jonas Brothers, a considerable number of girls are also Beliebers... Or, if Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers come to Atlanta to hold a concert together, even if the organizer gives them money, it is estimated that These girls will choose to abandon the latter and choose the former.

This is the influence of world-class superstars created by the music and media industry.

The girls held their hands on their chests, sighed "awww", and read with star eyes the gray and white lyrics that kept emerging on the boundless big screen above the rippling and spreading indigo water waves.

"So, take a deep breath and let it happen,

I don't want to see you drowning in sadness alone..."

After four bars, Justin Bieber's vocals faded away, and Madison Bill's voice was like a flawless jade thrown into the center of the lake, rippling in layers of ripples in the bone-chillingly cold winter water.

Also on "Cold Water", Justin's voice is more like a glass of dead afternoon, made of absinthe mixed with champagne.Although there is also a taste mixed with bubbles and syrup, it is more of astringent herbs and spicy alcohol.Having become famous at a young age, under years of pressure, indulgence, carnival and sinking, Justin's voice has long since lost its clear and moving voice.

It looks like a sweet and delicious fruit juice, but after swallowing it, it turns out to be the most mouth-watering liquor.

But Madison Beer is different. Yes, she is also a YouTube cover star who is famous all over the United States before she is a teenager, but her career is far from Justin.After struggling in Hollywood for three years, instead of climbing to the top, the bruised Madison stumbled and rolled halfway down the mountain, and accidentally crashed into Han Yi's arms—the arms in the literal sense .

She has never tasted the taste of a real superstar, but still maintains the most authentic expectations and the best original intentions.No matter how brave she looked, and how many times she pressed Han Yi against the wall and kissed her, Madison Bill was still the same little girl who flew from Long Island to Los Angeles for the first time to sign a contract.

She is a glass of pineapple colada, from appearance to temperament to voice.

Rum, coconut milk and pineapple juice are mixed together and covered with a pineapple slice and a Mascherano cherry.The freshness and sweetness of girls are fully displayed in the bright light yellow.At the same time, the bluntness and hotness of early growth are also quietly hidden in it with the precipitation of rum.There is also that delicate cherry, which floats freely on the water, and anyone who casts their first glance at this drink will be attracted by it.

That is the most sincere and passionate love heart.

Such a colorful identity, such a rich and interesting inner world, are all integrated into this small cup of drink.

A glass of retro treasures from the black and white frame of the 50s.

To describe it in a more straightforward way, Madison Beal's voice is that Lana Del Rey swallowed Ariana Grande alive.

The silky smooth and soft singing voice slowly flowed out from the array speaker, which amazed many people at the scene.

"She's really, really good!"

"If you feel like you're sinking down,

Without hesitation, I'll dive into the freezing water for you.

Maybe time has changed, things are different,
But my patience with you remains the same..."

From the cooperation with Jack U to the release of "Purpose", Justin Bieber, who has fully embraced pop electronic music, especially Mountbatten music, has released many popular and well-received masterpieces in the past two years.

"What Do You Mean?" ", "Sorry", "Where Are U Now".

Every single song is invincible on charts and streaming platforms around the world.

But even so, "Cold Water" can still be called Justin Bieber's best electronic music single so far, even the best music, bar none.

The same evaluation can also be transplanted to Diplo intact.

"Lean On" may be the most played song in the world since the concept of the streaming platform was invented, but "Cold Water" is by no means inferior to the former in terms of pure sense of hearing and quality.

The vocal production is impeccable, and the harmony in the chorus is rich and clean, which is perfect and never sloppy.The composition of the verse is extremely simple, with guitar riffs, piano leads, and a neat and easy bassline, which fit seamlessly together.The use of electronic musical elements is key, but rarely, never overpowers the natural sound of the instruments.

The arrangement and orchestration itself are also well thought out. There are not even ten accompaniment tracks for the main song, which leaves enough space for the singer's vocals.When it comes to the chorus part, the vocals are not weakened by the enhancement of the drums and lead, but are very naturally integrated into the emotional progression of the entire drop, pushing the song to its climax.

Coupled with the sense of anticipation created by the pre-chorus, and the new style of change brought by the interlude to the slightly repetitive and rigid structure, the song "Cold Water" is really like sailing on the water in a boat. One wave after another, one bright spot after another, one outburst led to another outburst, which made the audience feel hooked.

The Marvel series of movies have killed the Quartet all over the world, relying on this continuous refreshing feeling.

If "Lean On" is the first Avengers movie, then "Cold Water" is definitely "Endgame".

More exciting, bigger, more detailed, and more exciting.

"Tonight, I will be your lifeline.

I will never let go of this...

I'll be your lifeline tonight,

I won't let go! "

At the end of the last high note of the current chorus, Diplo and his Major Lazer's best Mountbatten Drop exploded in the Philips Stadium. Madison Bill and his backup dancers made a concise and powerful performance. dance moves.

In front of them, a column of fireworks that had been simmering for a long time erupted upwards, and the scorching heat distorted the air in the auditorium in the front row.The CO2 in the form of a white cyclone, wrapped in confetti, rushes straight ahead.At the same time, the searchlight above the auditorium was also suddenly lit, giving the colorful sequins flying in the sky a dreamlike brilliance.

This is the result of repeated communication between HMG and Live Nation's tour team. Live Nation wants to save some energy with the opening guests, but the team of Han Music and Renyu Management will not back down.

Because they know that "Cold Water", a high-quality music that can drive the audience into a frenzy, must be paired with enough noisy live special effects to exert its maximum effect.

This isn't Future Now: The Tour hot show.

This is the ultimate climax of the golden hour of Tomorrow World Electronic Music Festival.

Drum beats, dances, fireworks, gas columns, color films, all the elements that can drive humans into madness burst out at the same time, igniting the enthusiasm of the audience in an instant.

In the 2010s when electronic music and rave parties were all the rage, such a moment of celebration was a familiar scene for the 7100 music fans present.

Everyone knows that there is only one thing they need to do now.

That is, throw your own brain, heart, soul, and everything that can be used for thinking into the air, and combine it with other people's brains, hearts, and souls to form a huge disco light ball.

Then it exploded suddenly.

The joy that was blown into pieces and shattered into pieces, like a heavy rain, sprinkled among the audience.

The only way to get as much fun as possible is to jump up as far as you can and swing your arms back and forth as fast as possible.

"Atlanta, let's go!"

Meticulously performing her dance moves, Madison-Beal's eyes were filled with stars, made up of the audience in a state of ecstasy and confetti falling on their heads, shoulders and everywhere else.

This is really... awesome.

This is my show?

I made them...be like this?

Yes, Madison prefers Lana Del Rey's retro love songs, but as a performer, no one can deny the thrill that only God can enjoy at this moment.

With a single gesture, a single shout, and a beat of a drum, 7100 people can be brought to the top of the mountain.

“In life, everyone will encounter confusion.

This is how we learn and grow.

Even though the years are on your cheeks, I still want to share your bed with you,

You don't need to fight alone in this battle. "

"If you feel like you're sinking down,

Without hesitation, I'll dive into the freezing water for you.

Maybe time has changed, things are different,
But my patience with you remains the same..."

The atmosphere of the first verse was completely different. When Madison sang another verse with different words and the same melody, no one sat down in the Philips Stadium.

Who sits down to Mountbatten music?
Suriname's Moomba and Jamaica's reggae were created with only one purpose, which is to make people who hear them jump from morning to night, and they can't stop the heart that wants to beat.

The drop part is coming again, Madison puts one foot on the monitor, pointing to the auditorium that has been obedient to her, like a princess returning from the battlefield, proudly giving orders.

"When I count to three, I want to see everyone's feet off the ground!"

"And I hope you know..."

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"I WON'T LET GO!"

　I really like writing chapters of this kind of show, I don’t know if you like it or not
