It seems that today's performance not only won the hearts of many audiences, but also received the support of young girls. This is a good thing.

I drank and chatted with Lincoln Park in a bar and found out that they had officially signed with Warner Records last night. The "Let's Step Closer" uploaded by Lincoln Park in the Yahoo Music Community sparked heated discussions among many fans. Warner Bros. Records officially noticed Lincoln Park and felt that they had development prospects that they could build. This time, attending the Eagle Rock Music Festival was also an inspection of the live capabilities of Lincoln Park by Warner Bros. Records. After all, a band that cannot have exciting performances on site will have no potential even if the studio performs well.

Without any doubt, Lincoln Park's performance yesterday touched the agent and successfully signed the contract last night. Next week, we will enter the recording studio to start recording and preparing the album. Warner Records hopes that Lincoln Park's first album can be released within this year. While the influence of the Internet still exists, launch Lincoln Park.

This is Lincoln Park's 43rd chance after Chast Benington joined, or the 43rd attempt is more appropriate. Before Chast Benington joined, Lincoln Park's predecessor Xero was rejected by various record companies. Now, it finally got what it wants!

Therefore, listening to Gu Luobei's performance of "The Sea and the Sky" on site today made Lincoln Park even more emotional. They once really thought that there was no future, and they could only make jokes in underground bands with their persistence in music. The artistic conception of "The Sea and the Sky" made Lincoln Park feel a lot, and they then had the idea of ​​getting to know the melancholy state. After all, the communication between independent bands is normal. As for playing guitars, it was purely an accident, which was Brad Delson's temporary idea. Unexpectedly, it created a wonderful stage, which was also an unexpected gain.

When I broke up with Lincoln Park and left the bar, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. I said I was drinking together, but in fact I had more time to talk, so I didn't drink much. When I returned to the hotel where I lived, Gu Luobei and others were still sober, and they started to pack their luggage even if they were lazy.

The Eagle Rock Festival is over, and it’s time to leave Los Angeles. When Gu Luobei refused Travi Nahn, he said that the fall semester of college is about to begin. This is not a rude word, but it is indeed the case. Therefore, the carnival in Los Angeles is over, and they should go back to Boston as well.

From Los Angeles to Boston, the distance is not close. From the map, Boston is still east of New York. In other words, the way home is even further than when Gu Luobei came. On the way back, after passing New York, it would take another 120 miles and more than two hours to get to Boston. Gu Luobei first crossed the United States from the east coast to the west coast, and now he has to complete the feat of crossing the United States again. This kind of life is indeed colorful.

Because of drinking in the afternoon and experiencing the excitement of the performance at noon, the emotions of several people were always in an excited period. After they came back, they either continued to be excited, such as Gillen Haas; or they were loosened and paralyzed, such as Jacob Tibo; or they were thinking and absent-minded, such as Gu Luobei and Bruce Stewood. So when the door of their room was knocked, the four of them stood there, and none of them responded. In the end, the excited Gillen Haas ran to open the door.

After a gurgling sound from the door, Gillen Haas ran back with a bang. As soon as Gu Luobei looked up, he saw Gillen Haas's smile as if he was about to bloom. His current condition was different from the excitement he had just now. Gillen Haas looked like he was hit by a pie falling from the sky, and even his eyebrows were about to fly up, and his eyes were still rolling, as if he was dizzy.

Behind Gillen Haas, a middle-aged Mediterranean man walked in with a smile, saying that he was Mediterranean and meant that he was hair-style, and that he was middle-aged and meant that he was beer belly. He was completely the image of a middle-level manager who had been in the office for many years.

Gillen Haas introduced it with a little bit of rationality, otherwise would it be a strange man, what would everyone need to react? "This is Warner Records' agent, Mr. Claire Dess."

Warner Records, agents, time seemed to stagnate here for a second. Soon, Jacob Tippow went up, and even Bruce Stewood stood up. Although the face was still on his face, his clenched right fist still revealed his thoughts.

Gu Luobei was a man of two generations and had also appeared on the Broadway stage. He was a person who had seen the world. But he was also a little excited at this time. Although he was appreciated by Travi Nahn when he was away on Broadway and experienced this excitement, as a band, this sense of affirmation was completely different. In fact, as the lead singer of the melancholy mood, Gu Luobei was once appreciated by a small music company. Gu Luobei had never even heard of its name, but this was not the point. The point was that they were interested in Gu Luobei, not the melancholy mood of the whole band, so Gu Luobei finally refused. Today, the one who came to the door was Warner Records, one of the five largest record companies in the world, with extraordinary significance.

Warner Bros. Records, affiliated to Warner Bros., is ranked as one of the world's five record groups in the 20th century, along with EMI, Universal Music, Sony Music, and Bertelsman Music (bmg). This year, Warner Bros. Records intends to expand its scale and begins the merger plan of AOL and EMI at the beginning of the year. The American Online Services Company is one of the largest network service providers in the United States, while Warner Records and EMI are ranked as one of the world's five record groups. If these two mergers are successful, they will undoubtedly surpass Universal Music and become the world's largest record group.

But Gu Luobei knew that Warner Records finally succeeded in a merger with American Online, but the merger plan with EDA Records was stopped under the attention of the European Commission's antitrust officials. The time should be around October and November this year. At that time, Warner Records was at a critical moment of merger with American Online. The merger case was also under investigation by the antitrust organization. Therefore, for the sake of American Online, Warner Records finally had to give up EDA Music. As far as Gu Luobei knew, both Warner Records and EDA Records had the idea of ​​merging or acquiring each other. It continued intermittently since 2000 until Gu Luobei was reborn, and it still failed, which was considered a bad fate.

Regardless of whether the merger of Warner Records and EDA Records is successful or not, the position of the five largest record companies in the world has no impact at all. Moreover, the merger case is still in progress, and Warner Records is in full swing. No wonder even an arrogant independent band like Lincoln Park can hardly hide their ecstasy after signing with Warner Records, let alone the nameless melancholy mood.

In fact, as for Gu Luobei personally, he thinks that the size of the company doesn't matter, and they all have their own advantages and disadvantages. Large companies have rich resources and a complete system, but relatively speaking, they need to consider the interests of the company and make certain compromises on their music style, so there will be less freedom; although small companies have fewer constraints and frameworks, they will pay more attention to talent in music itself. After all, it is difficult for them to compete with large companies for resources, but the disadvantages of small companies are also very obvious, and promotion and distribution channels will be relatively difficult.

However, being able to gain the appreciation of a super-large company like Warner Records is also a recognition of a melancholy state of mind.

Claire Des first took out his business card and handed it to the four members as a certificate of identity, and then said with a smile, "The afternoon performance was very exciting, it really made people shine." After a few compliments, Claire Des did not go around in circles and asked more tactfully, "I don't know if there is an agent in my depression state of mind now?"

Many independent bands actually have their own agents, and most of them are individual independent agents. There are several ways for these independent bands to sign a record company. One is to help contact a record company; the other is to help contact a large agency and then sign a record company; the last is to go to the record company, and after signing the contract, the band decides the stay or departure of the independent agent.

Therefore, the deep meaning of Claire-Dyce's sentence should be to ask whether he has signed a record company when he is depressed.

"No." The answer was Gillen Haas. He was in a state of excitement at this time, and he was completely excited and spoke very quickly. Anyway, everyone knew the band's affairs, so Gu Luobei was happy and asked Gillen Haas to negotiate.

Although I didn't understand the deep meaning when I heard Claire Des' words, Jacob Tibo and Bruce Stewood knew it, and it was probably a chance. So my expression was full of expectations for a moment, and even Bruce Stewood's zombie face changed slightly at this time.

"What about Mr. Bell?" Just as Gu Luobei was sighing that the cool man Bruce Stewood was also moved, Claire Dess's words made everyone present focus on Gu Luobei.

Gu Luobei subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and his left hand involuntarily touched the ring finger of his right hand in habitually, "I think I have it." When he joined Broadway, his nominal agent was Catherine Bell, not a regular agent, but just supervised as a guardian. Later, Teddy Bell became an adult. He took the agent certificate in the year he entered university, took over Katherine Bell's stick, and became Gu Luobei's nominal agent. However, Gu Luobei has no other job now and does not intend to take any job, so the agent can only be "calculate".

Claire Days' eyes flashed invisibly, and then he laughed twice, "I wonder if Mr. Bell's agent's contact information can tell me? We, Warner Records, really hope to sign with Mr. Bell and let you join our record company."

What! It’s just Gu Luobei, not a melancholy state of mind?

Today is the third update, so I will continue to recommend and collect it, haha. There is another update later.
Chapter completed!
