Chapter 150 Changes in People

During this period of time, the progress of the planetary band was so smooth that everyone thought it was a bit unbelievable.

After all, before , Stewart also advocated the concept of British music, but the blow he suffered was almost fatal.

In contrast, the planetary band has successfully achieved unprecedented success.

This matter puzzled many people in the music world, and it could only be classified as a matter of strength.

It was not until a long time later that people re-examined the history of this period, and analyzed a more reliable conclusion: the failure of the dancing sculpture band is all because they entered the stage too early.

The success of many things often requires timing and luck in addition to strength.

When Stewart proposed British music, his concept was not yet mature enough. The music he produced was too lofty, and the slogan was loud, but it failed to arouse people's general sense of identity.Moreover, the grunge rock at that time was at its peak period, and the weak to fight the strong would naturally only end in failure;

But when James and Lance officially entered the arena, the tide had already quietly reversed.And, they learned the lessons of Stewart's failure, explored more in-depth and detailed on the road of British-themed music, and based on the lives of ordinary people, it made people listen to more resonance, and slyly added a lot of pop and music. The commercial element, which made them ultimately successful.

It can only be said that the planetary band seized the opportunity, and their luck and strength were good, so naturally they succeeded beyond doubt.

At this time, countless British bands followed suit.

Whether it's the revived Dancing Sculptures, The Clowns, The Urchins...even The Beach Boys and more.The British music scene was surging this year, and countless bands released singles and albums with the theme of England one after another, launching a counterattack against grunge.

Among them, the earliest successful planetary band is always the brightest star.Moreover, they have undoubtedly become the leaders in this counterattack wave.

Although the idea of ​​British music was first proposed by Stewart.

But unfortunately, people often only remember the first winner, and don't care about how many previous losers.

No one remembers the boy who stood alone on the stage waving the Union Jack and sang "Beautiful England" over and over again; everyone only remembers "Starlight" and only the planets!

Stewart didn't comment on that.

In the face of some reporters' inquiries with ulterior motives, he also remained silent.

On the contrary, his teammates were very unconvinced.

In particular, the guitarist Oakland was once stunned by repeated inquiries from reporters, and accidentally blurted out: "Don't ask! Don't ask! I don't know how good the Planetary Band is. Their music is very good. Okay, but we are not bad. Moreover, Stu is the real founder of the British concept, we have created the album "Beautiful England" before, and we are the first band to make British music."

The British media has always made trouble out of nothing.

These words that Oakland slipped out of the mouth, they took back and slightly changed it into: [Oakland, the guitarist of Dancing Sculpture Band, believes that the Planetary Band stole their British philosophy, and the founder of British music should be Stewart].

This happened while James and Lance were filming a TV show.

In order to increase the ratings, the host of the show immediately asked about this matter.

Lance frowned, and replied in a circle habitually: "We didn't steal any theme, didn't want to cater to any theme, or cater to anyone. We just want to make our own music, something that hits the eardrums, noisy, real and Powerful. When I create music, I usually give priority to the fusion of sounds and the rhythm behind them, rather than the theme, which is a secondary thing. As for the songs involved Some of the British parts of it, it's very simple, I'm British, I naturally want to write British things."

The show host didn't really want to hear such a smooth answer.

So, he turned around and asked James, "Jimmy, what do you think?"

James replied simply: " succeeded, was even better, that's it."

Lance couldn't help laughing beside him.

James really wasn't trying to be sarcastic.

He just wanted to state a fact, no matter who started the British music?But the planetary band was the first to succeed, so the planetary band is even more powerful!

After watching this show...

Stewart was irritated.

Human psychology is very complicated.

Although he sincerely hopes that more bands will come together to revitalize British music.But at the same time, he also sincerely hopes that he and his band are an important part of this wave.

But now, the tide is coming.

But myself and my band are on the verge of falling behind.

James' sentence " succeeded, is even better" also reminded him of the fiasco of the album .

The desire to win in Stuart's heart was rekindled.

He didn't resent Jimmy, nor did he vent anger like his teammates that 'the planet stole our British theme', but he was unwilling to bear the name of loser.

So, he secretly decided to re-focus on creating a second British-themed album, and compete with the Planetary Band in an open and aboveboard manner.

I didn't know that my own words actually inspired and stimulated my friends indirectly.

James put it behind him after he was on the show because he had enough of his own worries.

At this time, from the outside world, although the Planetary Band looks like a huge ship sailing, riding the wind and waves, unstoppable, but internal problems still exist.

In James' view, the former helm Lance has become extremely unbearable.

After the window smashing incident, although James was never stopped by the bodyguards when he entered and exited his room.

But at other times, the group of bodyguards still isolated Lance from the rest of the band.

There are obviously four members in a band, but when chatting daily, there are only three people left.

Among the three, bass player Sanderson often can't play together most of the time due to personality and preferences; only drummer Baldwin is left, but he also needs to accompany his wife Pengpeng from time to time.

As a result, James found that he couldn't find anyone to talk to.

He started to play with the little black dog Jiji frequently, because Jiji never changes, doesn't give orders to people, doesn't beat him for his weakness of drinking, and never hires a few dogs with a few bones The big dog circled itself, not allowed to touch, not to touch, not to kiss...

On the other hand, in terms of work, Lance is also unscrupulously monopolizing power.

The repeated successes in his career made him a little swollen, and he gradually stopped discussing anything with the members, but made his own decisions, and then called an assistant, bodyguard, or other staff to inform everyone, as if everyone had changed. became his employee.

James occasionally wished to raise an objection.

Ke Lance didn't listen at all, not because of how bad his attitude was when he rejected the opinion...

But every time he would say with that laughing and helpless look, "Don't be stupid, Jimmy." Or, "You have to listen to me, little fool, what you think will never work."

If the person who said this is not Lance.

James will definitely go up and punch: Who the hell are you calling stupid?

In fact, these words alone seem to be no problem.

But from a certain point of view, Lance obviously thinks highly of himself to a peak.He becomes dogmatic and unwilling to accept other people's opinions, whether they are right or wrong.He was dazzled by the compliments and flattery that rushed to his face after his success, and he really regarded himself as some kind of peerless genius.

How could this person become like this?

In the first few years of the planet's creation, Lance was obviously so cute.He is talented and a bit proud. Although his mouth is poisonous, he has never looked down on others. He occasionally loses his temper with his teammates, but those are trivial things...

James used to love being with Lance so much that he never wanted to be apart 24 hours a day and never got bored.

He still loves him, but he has absolutely no desire to be in the same room with this idiot right now.

However, from another perspective, Lance became like this...

Are you really not responsible at all?

James analyzed in his diary: [Whether it is me, or Baldwin and Theo...we are all used to relying on him, leaving all the trivial matters that require decisions to him, and always think that he is the smartest of us.Therefore, he took on all the pressure on our behalf, took care of all the trivial matters, and developed to the present, and has evolved into a monopoly.Among them,...is there also a result that we have contributed to?Now, if we throw all the responsibility on him at once, and just accuse him of changing, it would be shameless.But now he is like this, but it makes me feel sad, what should I do? ]

At this time, Lance also felt that something was wrong in the past few days, so he came to him.

He came over with a serious face and asked, "Jimmy, where did you go at night?"

"Sleeping in the house." James was worrying, so he replied in a bad manner.

"Why didn't you come to me?" Lance asked again patiently.

"It's nothing, what are you looking for?" James replied casually.

"Don't you come to me if you have nothing to do?" Lance couldn't help but walked over and hugged him, lowering his head and whispering hints: "But don't you miss me, Jimmy?"

James pushed him away angrily: "I'm not a fucking room service provider!"

Lance was a little speechless.

He looked at his green-eyed lead singer hesitantly with those blue eyes, as if he couldn't figure it out. After a long time, he said, "Jimmy, you, have you got someone else behind my back?"
