Chapter 578: Number 580: Leave Your Name on the Avenue of Stars

On an October morning in California, the sun was very bright, as if it was specially prepared to welcome the upcoming festival.

Today, more than a hundred artists will have their names on the Avenue of Stars, fifteen of whom will have individual five-pointed star character tiles, while the others will share a stone tablet.

The main reason why everyone is not given a floor tile is that the Avenue of Stars is limited in area, and as one of the highest halls of honor in the American entertainment industry, even celebrities cannot be admitted if they want to.

Compared with yesterday, when celebrity publicists were busy and busy, today everyone's phone calls have stopped a lot.

Because the list ranked by "The Rock" magazine has been announced in the early morning. Among the top 100 musicians in history, the British band Caterpillar once again won the championship, ranking first on the list for 30 consecutive years.

As the most legendary and best band in the history of human rock, the original five members of Caterpillar now have only one lead singer, Maita, and the other members have passed away.

Today, the 84-year-old Mr. Mata also came to the scene in person. Even though he is so old, in fact, he has been active in the music scene and continues to contribute to rock and roll.

Speaking of which, at the London Olympics six years ago, Maita also performed as the main anchor of the opening ceremony and held a concert in front of audiences around the world.

Although rock music has now declined, on that night, everything seemed to be back forty years ago, back to the era of carnival for music.

At this Avenue of Stars Music Ceremony, Mr. Maita came alone and did not need anyone to support him.

Judging from his condition, he is also quite energetic. It seems that it would be no problem to just go on stage and have a concert full of dancing.

Originally, with the status and honors achieved by Mr. Maita and the Caterpillar Band, this music festival was actually dispensable, and he himself did not intend to come at first.

Later, the editor-in-chief of "Big Rock" magazine personally took the initiative, and it took a lot of effort to invite this great god.

The reason for using it is mainly to let Mr. Matta come and see these juniors in the new century and see these musicians who will lead the trend of the next era.

It's not enough to be dissatisfied. Although Maita has always been composing, he has to admit that his inspiration is far less powerful than that of young people, and the songs he writes cannot reach the level of decades ago.

The more important point is that times have changed, and now is the era of young people, so the most important thing for him to come this time is to conduct a handover ceremony.

As a remnant of the old days.

The main reason is that apart from him, there are not many old-timers from the last century left.

Although Caterpillar ranks first, there are actually quite a few music greats behind it who can compete with it.

For example, the father of rock music, the father of soul music, the father of jazz, etc. Every title would scare people to death.

It's just that these people were active for so long that most of them have passed away, and young people today don't know much about them, so the caterpillars ranked higher in the end.

In fact, these great gods have actually been to the Avenue of Stars a long time ago, and Maita came here more just to bear witness.

In addition to these old faces on the list, there are also many new people this time.

The top one among them is Luo Quan, who is ranked 29th and is the only one born in the 1990s among the 100 greatest musicians in history.

The ranking of twenty-nine is neither high nor low to be honest. It was originally predicted that her ranking would be higher, at least within twenty.

However, this result is not unacceptable.

When it comes to how good the melody or the song is, few of the seniors on the list can compare to her. In fact, many songs from the last century are not in line with today's aesthetics.

But at that time, these old-timers relied on their talents to lay the foundation for a music genre and created the most original model of the genre, which was unparalleled and groundbreaking.

Therefore, no matter how good Luo Quan's current songs are, they are only standing on the shoulders of these predecessors.

Unless she can one day create a music type of her own, and this type of music can become mainstream music around the world in the future, her status will likely surpass these old predecessors.

As for now, her position at twenty-nine can be said to be quite reasonable.

Of course, this is only the view of the media and some fans. Those betting on the ranking may not necessarily be able to figure it out. Most people unconditionally believe that Luo Quan can enter the top twenty, so that after the ranking comes out, they will directly Lose all your money.

In the early morning, I don't know how many people came to the rooftop during the night and jumped from the top.

Luo Quan himself is actually very satisfied with this ranking. Twenty-nine is already quite high, and there is no one younger than her on the entire list.

The musician closest to her in age is already in his thirties, and has not released a new album for quite some time. She seems to be the only singer who can maintain high quality and productivity.

In comparison, the list of the top 100 musicians of the new century is much more lively. Most of them are faces that are familiar to young people, and many of them are in their early twenties.

Precisely because he is young and cannot convince the public, this list is quite controversial. Public relations, insider information, trading, and falsehood are its key words. There has been a huge quarrel around this list in various forums.

Including Luo Quan, who ranks first in this list, almost all players have been questioned. From first to last, no one can be immune.

However, in comparison, Luo Quan is slightly less questioned. After all, although she cannot compare with those ancient gods, these singers in the new century are still sure to dominate.

No matter from the perspective of record sales, song quality, or singing skills, she deserves to be ranked number one.

So today, among the star-studded crowd of singers, she took the C position without hesitation.

Next to her is Maita, the representative of the elderly, and Luo Quan, the representative of the young. Leon and Seifert serve as bodyguards beside her, separating her from the frenzied reporters.

"Luo Quan, can you tell me your feelings about being the greatest singer in the new century?"

A voice that came from nowhere covered the other questions at a very high volume.

Because there were so many people, Luo Quan didn't even know which reporter asked the question. He could only see the hands in front of him holding a microphone.

“First of all, I am very happy that I can receive this honor, and I would like to thank the Rock magazine and my music critic friends for recognizing me.

Secondly, this ranking also makes me feel pressure. After all, this is not an ordinary ranking, it is the number one that everyone is eyeing. In order to be worthy of this ranking, I will produce better works in the future and contribute better to those who like me. song. "

"Speaking of songs, your new album is about to be released. Can you tell me about the source of your creative inspiration?"

Another question came from nowhere, and it was also related to Luo Quan.

I'm wondering if I should hold a press conference to publicize it. Since you have questions, it will save trouble.

Luo Quan thought this in his mind and said: "I am still writing about the topic of love, but there is so much to write about that I can't finish it.

Of course, this time the song will definitely not focus only on love. There is more than just this kind of human love. As for what it is specifically, I will leave it a secret here. If you are curious, please pay attention to my future works. "

………………

A grand ceremony inexplicably turned into an exclusive interview site for Luo Quan. A large number of reporters gathered around her, wanting to get first-hand information about Luo Quan's interview.

This situation has also caused dissatisfaction among some singers.

We are all celebrities invited to attend the ceremony and all have their names on the Avenue of Stars. Why should the reporter only interview you? Shouldn’t it be equally exposed to rain and dew?

But I was angry in my heart, but there was nothing I could do about it. Luo Quan was in the limelight right now, and he even won the first place this time. He was in the C position with a great god like Maita, so it was normal for him to receive the current treatment. things.

All I can say is that if you compare goods, you will be thrown away, and if you compare people with others, you will die.

Instead of arguing with Luo Quan about why she gets so much attention, it is better to seize the opportunity to fight for the remaining scenes.

"Phew, the interview is finally over."

After answering more than a dozen questions in one go, Luo Quan felt a little dry.

Except for one reporter who asked her a more personal question about her mother's situation, the other reporters were friendly and asked polite questions.

I just don’t know how many of these reporters have hacked her online.

During this time, she has been influenced by the online media a lot. If none of the people in front of her have hacked her online, then she definitely doesn't believe it.

But since she was willing to interview her, it was just to give her some heat, and she was willing to cooperate.

"You have a very strict tone. Those reporters who asked this didn't even know the name of the song." Seifert looked at Luo Quan and praised him while tugging at the folds of his suit with his hands.

My suit looks like it is in ruins. I used too much force to stop someone just now, and I don't know if it can be ironed out with an iron.

"I told you not to wear a suit when there are so many people here, but you didn't listen." Leon laughed gleefully. He was wearing a big T-shirt and jeans today, a typical hip-hop boy's look.

This time, he ranks tenth among the top 100 singers of the new century. As an internationally renowned rap king, he must wear clothes that suit his personality.

"On formal occasions, shouldn't I, as your agent, wear a suit?" Seifert rolled his eyes at Leon, and then said to Luo Quan, "Look at Mr. Matta next to you, do you want to go up and say hello?"

Luo Quan followed Seifert's gaze and saw that Mr. Meta was chatting with another old man, his expression was calm and temperamental.

Before this, she had read quite a bit about the Caterpillars and Maita himself. I know that this is an ancestor-level senior in the music industry.

Before her debut, Maita had been the most profitable singer in the world, and is still the lead singer of the greatest band. She is the soul support and idol of countless people.

"Forget it, I'm not very good at socializing with others." Luo Quan shook his head and chose to be autistic.

She didn't want to take part in this so-called junior meeting senior and the transition of the times.

The future of revitalizing the Chinese music scene is still uncertain. If the old man entrusts her with another important task, the pressure on her will be too great.

A salty fish like her, one person with similar responsibilities is enough, and she doesn't want to join in and issue tasks to others.

So after Seifert proposed, Luo Quan simply refused and walked aside quickly before Mr. Matta noticed her.

It wasn't until the name-dropping ceremony officially started that Luo Quan stood with Mr. Maita, followed by European and American music stars.

Although she has been hiding, there are some things that cannot be avoided.

"Miss Luo, good morning." Mr. Maita spoke first and greeted Luo Quan in a gentlemanly manner.

"Good morning to you too, Mr. Meta." Luo Quan responded with a bright smile.

"I've heard about your beauty a long time ago, but I didn't expect that you are even more beautiful in person than in the photos."

Mr. Maita sighed softly, with a look of admiration in his eyes: "I remember that your father is British, but he probably hasn't spent much time in the UK, right?"

Luo Quan nodded his head: "Yes, I grew up in China and am a native of China."

"That's right." Mr. Meta nodded as if he understood something when he heard this emphasis on his identity.

"I have listened to all your songs, they are very good. He is the most talented young man I have ever seen. He is much better than I was when I was young.

If you can find your own way in the future, your achievements will be higher than ours. "

This time, Maita used the tone of a senior, giving Luo Quan a piece of advice.

After receiving such a high evaluation from Mr. Maita, Luo Quan felt very benefited and his face turned a little red: "I still have a lot to learn and improve."

"Humility is a good thing, but being too modest will appear hypocritical." Maita laughed, "Good is good, bad is bad. I believe that music fans around the world will not think that you are not good at learning.

But I can understand it, after all, the cultures are different. "

"Long live understanding." The corners of Luo Quan's mouth raised slightly.

"Yes, long live understanding." Mr. Maita agreed softly.

Originally, he planned to let Luo Quan revitalize rock music. After all, for so many years, the girl in front of him was the only one whose works caught his eye.

But it seems that this girl doesn't seem to have much interest in this aspect, so he won't force her to do anything.

An old man and a young man, chatting one after another, finally ushered in the official ceremony.

The mayor of Hollywood came forward to give a speech and told the glorious history of the Walk of Fame.

Later, as everyone witnessed, five-pointed star stone bricks engraved with the names of fifteen superstars were inlaid on the ground, and a two-meter-high stone tablet was also erected in the center of the square.
