Devil's Music

Montana's performances spread to SNS because of people watching the stage and leaving photos or short footage. SNS, which started spreading right after the show that day, made a lot of people excited and made their way to Liverpool. Montana's performance elsewhere for three days was largely advertised before the start of Liverpool Sound City, so fans went to the venue after checking out the website.

And that afternoon, Lin's rapidly edited performance footage was released to YouTube, and the surge of power exploded like an active volcano. The number of views on the show video exceeded 10 million in five hours, and more than twice as many comments and tweets flew around the Internet world. Other musicians participating in Liverpool Sound City, in particular, also showed great interest in music fans from countries where musicians belonged, along with a short performance video. The spectacular show was on the eve of a special broadcast from the British news channel.

In the evening news on British Channel 5, a middle-aged female announcer with a full-bodied figure stood in front of the camera with the face shown above. Behind her was a large TV, and three long announcers, Norman Lebrecht, sitting in a gray suit with a smile on the face.

This announcer smiled and greeted the camera with a 'On Air’ sign.

“Hello Channel 5 viewers, This is Grace Conte from Channel 5 News Center, the first story I'm going to share with you today about Liverpool Sound City."

Grace reaches out to Norman and says,

“Before proceeding, I'd like to introduce you to British musical critic Norman Lebrecht. How are you, Norman? ”

Norman leans forward slightly, nodding slightly.

“Nice to meet you, Grace. It's been a long time."

“Yes, it's been a long time. Please say hello to Channel 5 viewers. ”

“Hello, viewers. This is Norman Lebrecht, a music critic. ”

When the camera took a shot of Norman and switched to a two-shot with Grace, Grace looked back at the Liverpool Sound City logo floating on the large screen behind him.

“Liverpool Sound City is a celebration of British musicians from all over the city, starting in 2008. It's a music festival where musicians from all over the world participate in indie music and continue to enjoy the diversity of the music, but today's festival was different from any other festival. Reporter Jordan Milner. ”

Grace said in a surprised tone as the screen flowed through the large TV.

“Oh · · · What is this? ”

Thousands of people running in frenzied waves were printed on a helicopter aerial footage. The video was playing and a lively voice came out of the male reporter.

“Montana's performance at Liverpool One Shopping Center is on fire this afternoon! As you can see on the screen, thousands of audiences have come together to dance, to jump, and more surprisingly, this is only one song, Montana's" Fury, "and unlike other musicians playing between the three and the four, Montana created this scene with just one song! ”

As the screen switches, the gun leans back and screams.

“Rrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!! ”

Grace, who was looking at the screen, pushed out her mouth round as if she were showing the horror on her forearm.

“Wow! It's Kay! ”

Kevin asked, watching Kevin play like he was breaking a thick bass guitar wire, sweating his eyes out.

“This must be Montana's new member Kevin. ”

As the screen shifts, Carlos, who usually closes his eyes and feels Phil, is nowhere to be played, opens his mouth to Norman as he comes out and plays battle with one foot on the amp.

“Carlos Montana...? This?”

After coming out of Jose, who lowered his head deeply and tore his drum, the screen turned into a Jordan Milner in the background of the audience dancing because the excitement did not subside after the performance. Excited audiences shout as they jump behind him.

“Kay! Kay! Kay! Kay! Kay! ”

“Montana! Montana! Montana! Montana! ”

Jordan Milner, who leaves his back to people but doesn't let go of the microphone, exclaims with a red face that he doesn't even know he's in the show.

“The Liverpool One Shopping Center is just after Montana's performance. The festival itself! ”

Although it was a scene that was transmitted to the screen, the hot heat was transmitted through the camera as it was to both people. Jordan, who was still holding the microphone with the expression described above, raised his voice to see if he could not overcome excitement.

“Montana's Fury shocked tourists who visited Liverpool Sound City and local British music fans! And in the center of it was Kay! ”

After finishing the stage as the screen switches, Kay jumps back onto the stage and screams alongside the people, and there is a short clip of Montana members improvising once again. Although the next musician was waiting for a long time, the once-excited audience also cheered the unnamed musicians behind him. Jordan Milner picks up the microphone as the screen switches again.

“This performance also made Kay an acclaimed British rock fan from the world's most recognizable musicians! And Fantasy is focusing everyone's attention by announcing that Fury will be available on all the world's streaming sites at 10: 00 tonight! This is Jordan Milner, Channel 5 News Center! ”

The screen freezes at the end of the scene where Jordan, the last greeter, joins and jumps into the parade of men running behind him. Grace, who was unable to speak while looking at the screen with a blank expression, received the voice of the shouting PD to the earset and looked forward in horror.

“Oh, I'm sorry. I've been sober for a while. What a performance! I regret not seeing it in person. Isn't that right, Norman? ”

Norman turns his head, looking at the frozen screen of Jordan, who is still shoulder to shoulder with the people.

“Yes, I was going to go to the show tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to protesting today's scheduled magazine interview, Haha."

With a smile on Norman's light jokes, Grace raises her hand in her ear and asks a question, as if listening for a moment to the PD's instructions coming from the earset.

“The news just came in that Montana's Fury is different from the Fury of the full album. Did Norman know? ”

Norman scratches his chin and nods.

“I didn't know it in advance, but I recognized it through SNS before the broadcast began. It was a completely different song, from playing to lyrics. ”

Grace glows and asks.

“According to Jordanian Milner, Fury, which is released on the streaming site at 10: 00 tonight, is likely to be live, so unlike Fury in the full album, there's a good chance that the current up-and-coming CD store will stay up. ”

Norman says, lightly slapping the table.

“Yes! It is the power of KY's company, or now of Montana's company, Fantasy. It's a marketing tool that you have to call genius. Montana moved to Fantasy after the release of the Fury album, though most of the proceeds will go to the original company, Nepalem Records. ”

Grace asked as if it were a surprise.

“Oh, really? If so, why is Fantasy still streaming live? ”

“There are a few reasons. The first album, Fury, is copyrighted in Nepal, but only one copy of Fury has been signed to Kay for 80 percent. So 80 percent of the revenue generated by this piece alone is calculated as fantasy's share. ”

Norman takes a sip of water to make sure he's thirsty, then he says it again.

“The second is to reduce friction with a large streaming service company. Fury has already sold over four million albums with success, but he's not streaming yet. This was a huge loss at the streaming company level, so it must have been pressing. ”

Grace opens her eyes and asks.

“Pressure? Didn't you decide on which platform the copyright holder would serve on? ”

Norman shakes his head.

“It's common sense, but it's beyond imagination, and, of course, it's not exactly confirmed, so don't take it for granted. I'm not telling Montana that happened, but I'm telling Montana that the streaming company is not going to stand by when this happens. ”

“Okay, so this live event will be streamed and that conflict will be resolved? ”

“Yes, one more thing is that fans who purchase a full album are very likely to purchase the source of the streaming service, as even the full album and lyrics are completely different music. ”

“Yes! The more I hear, the bigger it is. The power of Fantasy is amazing at any given moment. ”

Grace raises her hand on the earset again to see if the PD will instruct her, then turns to Norman.

“So Norman. What's the difference between existing Fury and new Fury? ”

Norman rushes to the brief crack where the camera is flashing Grace, giving himself the paperwork, and then looks back at the paperwork. After a brief glance at the documents, Grace stood up to give Norman some time to review the documents and pointed to the lyrics as she saw the old Fury lyrics on the big TV screen.

“This part first. ‘Every child's story begins with a parent. The lyrics that start with’ have changed. Traditional Fury was a common idea among musical critics that it was more like expressing the anger of children who have grown up hurting parents and living with such memories these days who have no parent qualifications. ”

Grace looks at all the paperwork and looks at Norman turning his head and asks for a good time.

“So, what's the new Fury, Norman? ”

As soon as Grace's question ended, a big TV came up with Fury's new lyrics. Norman nods loudly, watching the lyrics on the screen with Grace for a moment.

“You've made progress.”

Surprised by Norman's sudden words, Grace turns to you.

“What? Norman. What do you mean?”

Norman stood up in front of the big TV and pointed to the lyrics.

“The first verse begins with 'I am in anger.’ This is a symbolic representation of why the self exists in anger, and the overall lyrics behind it are aimed at purifying through the expression of anger. ”
