Chapter 583: Leaving a Name on the Walk of Fame

The morning of October in California, the sun is very bright today, as if it were specifically to welcome the upcoming grand ceremony.

Today, more than a hundred artists will leave their names on the Walk of Fame, 15 of whom will have separate pentagram character tiles, while others will share a stone tablet.

The reason why not everyone is arranged with a floor tile is mainly because the area of the Walk of Fame is limited, and as one of the highest honor halls in the American entertainment industry, it is not something you can go up if you want to.

Compared to the scene where celebrity public relations were busy yesterday, today everyone's phone calls are much quieter.

Because the list ranked by "Rolling Stone" magazine has been announced in the early morning, among the top 100 musicians in history, the British Mao Maochong band won the championship again, ranking first in the list for 30 consecutive years.

As the most legendary and excellent band in the history of human rock, the original five members of Mao Maochong now only have lead singer Maita left, and other members have passed away.

Today, 84-year-old Mr. Maita also visited the scene in person. Don't look at his old age. In fact, he has been active in the music scene, and he is still constantly adding bricks and tiles to rock.

Speaking of which, six years ago at the London Olympics, Maita also performed as the finale of the opening ceremony, holding a concert in front of audiences all over the world.

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

This Walk of Fame music grand ceremony, Mr. Maita came alone, without anyone helping.

Looking at his state, he is also quite energetic. It feels like there is no problem at all to go directly to the stage to hold a concert with singing and dancing.

Originally, with the status and honors obtained by Mr. Maita and Mao Maochong band, this music grand ceremony is actually dispensable. At first, he didn't intend to come.

Later, the editor-in-chief of "Rolling Stone" magazine went out in person, and he was invited to this great god by moving with emotion and reasoning.

And the reason used is also simple, which is to let Mr. Maita come to see these juniors in the new century, and see these musicians who will lead the trend of the next era.

People have to admit they are old. Although Maita has been creating, he has to admit that his inspiration is far less vigorous than young people, and the songs he writes cannot reach the level of decades ago.

And a more important point is that the era has changed. Now it is the era of young people, so he came this time, mainly to carry out a handover ceremony.

As a relic of the old era.

It is also mainly because besides him, there are not many old seniors left in the last century.

Although Mao Maochong ranks first, in fact, there are quite a lot of music gods behind who can compete with it.

For example, the father of rock, the father of soul, the father of jazz, etc., each title taken out is scary.

It's just that the era when these people were active was too long ago, so most of them have passed away, and young people now don't know much, so Mao Maochong's final ranking is relatively forward.

In fact, these gods have long been on the Walk of Fame, and Maita came this time more just to be a witness.

And besides these old faces on the list, there are also many new characters this time.

Among them, the one ranked highest is Luo Quan, who is ranked 29th, and is also the only post-90s generation among the top 100 greatest musicians in history.

To be honest, this ranking of 29 is not high or low. Originally, the outside world predicted that her ranking would be higher, at least to enter the top 20.

However, this result is not unacceptable.

If you have to say the melody or the pleasantness of the songs, there are not many old seniors on the list who can compare with her. In fact, many songs of the last century do not meet the aesthetics of people today.

But at that time, these old seniors were laying the foundation for a type of music with their own talents, creating the most primitive appearance of a type, and had unparalleled pioneering nature.

Therefore, no matter how good Luo Quan's songs are written now, she is just standing on the shoulders of these seniors.

Unless she can create a type of music by herself one day, and this type of music can become mainstream music on a world scale in the future, her status can possibly surpass these old seniors.

As for now, her position at 29 can be said to be quite reasonable.

Of course, this is just the view of the media and some fans. Those gamblers who bet on the ranking may not be able to figure it out. Most people unconditionally believe that Luo Quan can enter the top 20, so that after the ranking came out, they directly lost everything.

In the early morning, I don't know how many people took advantage of the night to come to the rooftop and jumped down from it.

For this ranking, Luo Quan herself is actually very satisfied. 29 is already quite high. There is no one younger than her in the entire list.

The musician closest to her age is also in his 30s, and he hasn't released a new album for a long time. It seems that she is the only singer who can maintain high quality and high production.

By comparison, the new century top 100 musician list looks much more vibrant. Most of them are faces familiar to young people, and there are many people in their early 20s.

Precisely because they are young and cannot convince the public, this list is quite controversial. Public relations, inside information, transactions, and falsehood are its keywords, and it has already been noisy on various forums around this list.

Including Luo Quan, who ranks first in this list, almost all contestants will be questioned. From the first to the last, no one can be alone.

However, by comparison, the questioning Luo Quan received is slightly smaller. After all, although she can't compare with those ancient gods, she is still firmly suppressing these singers of the new century.

Regardless of record sales or song quality, or from singing skills, it is well-deserved for her to be elected first.

So today, she stood in the C position among the stars.

Next to her is Maita, representing the elderly, while Luo Quan represents the young. Gao Liang and Seifert guest-starred as bodyguards beside her, separating her from the fanatical reporters.

"Luo Quan, can you talk about your thoughts as the greatest singer of the new century?"

A voice that didn't know where it came from covered other questioning voices with extremely high volume.

Because there were too many people, Luo Quan didn't know which reporter asked, only seeing hands holding microphones constantly surging in front of her.

"First of all, I am very happy that I can get this honor. Thank you "Rolling Stone" magazine and music critics for their recognition of me.

Secondly, this ranking also makes me feel pressure. After all, this is not an ordinary ranking, it is the first place that attracts worldwide attention. In order to be worthy of this ranking, I will produce better works in the future and dedicate more excellent songs to those who like me."

"Speaking of songs, your new album is also about to be released. Can you talk about any creative inspiration sources?"

Another question that didn't know where it came from, also asked about Luo Quan-related questions.

Just worrying about whether to hold a press conference to promote it, since you asked, it just saves trouble.

Luo Quan thought so in her heart and said: "It is still writing about the topic of love. Regarding love, there is really too much to write, and it can't be finished.

Of course, this time the songs will definitely not only focus on love. Human love is not just this kind. As for what exactly it is, I will sell a pass here. If you are curious, please pay attention to my subsequent works."

………………

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

And such a situation also caused some dissatisfaction among the singers who went.

Everyone is a black girl invited to attend the grand ceremony, and everyone has to leave their names on the Walk of Fame. Why do reporters only interview you? Shouldn't it be evenly distributed!

But although they were angry in their hearts, there was no way. Who told Luo Quan to be in the limelight now, and this time she also won the first place, standing in the C position with a great god like Maita, it is normal to get the current treatment.

It can only be said that goods are compared with goods, and people are compared with people.

Instead of struggling with Luo Quan about why she can get so much attention, it is better to seize the opportunity to fight for the remaining shots.

"Phew, finally finished the interview."

Answering more than a dozen questions in one breath, Luo Quan felt a bit dry in her mouth.

Except for one reporter who asked her about her mother's situation, which is a relatively private question, other reporters performed relatively friendly, and the questions asked were also very regular.

It's just that I don't know how many of these reporters have blacked her on the Internet.

During this period, she was brought rhythm by online media. If she said that all these people in front of her had never blacked her on the Internet, she definitely wouldn't believe it.

But since they are willing to come to interview her, they are here to send her heat, and she is also willing to cooperate.

"Your mouth is quite strict. Those reporters asked like that and couldn't find out the name of the song." Seifert looked at Luo Quan and praised, while pulling the wrinkles on his suit with his hands.

His suit seems to be ruined. He used too much force to stop people just now. I don't know if it can be ironed flat with an iron.

"I told you, don't wear a suit when there are many people here, you don't listen." Gao Liang laughed gloatingly. He was wearing a big T-shirt and jeans today, a typical hip-hop boy dress.

This time the top 100 singers of the new century, he ranked tenth. As an internationally renowned rap little king, he must wear clothes that fit his persona.

"Formal occasion, shouldn't I, as your agent, wear a suit?" Seifert rolled his eyes at Gao Liang, and then said to Luo Quan: "Look at Mr. Maita next to you, do you want to go up and say hello?"

Luo Quan looked in the direction of Seifert's gaze. Mr. Maita was chatting with another old man, his expression indifferent and quite temperamental.

Before this, she had read quite a lot of information about Mao Maochong band and Maita himself. She knew that this was a senior at the ancestor level of the music scene.

Before she debuted, she had always been the highest-earning singer in the world, and until now, she is also the lead singer of the greatest band, the soul pillar and idol of countless people.

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

She didn't want to take this kind of so-called junior meeting senior, era handover drama.

Just the burden of revitalizing the Chinese music scene is still uncertain. Don't let this old gentleman give her any heavy responsibility by then, then the pressure on her will be too great.

As a salted fish like her, one similar burden is enough. She doesn't want to go up and release tasks for others.

So after Seifert's proposal, Luo Quan refused very simply, and took advantage of the fact that Mr. Maita hadn't noticed her yet, so she hurriedly walked to one side.

Until the name-leaving ceremony officially started, Luo Quan stood with Mr. Maita, followed by stars in the European and American music scene.

Although she has been hiding, some things can't be hidden no matter what.

"Miss Luo, good morning." Mr. Maita spoke first very gentlemanly and greeted Luo Quan.

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

"I heard about your beauty long ago, but I didn't expect you to be even more beautiful than in the photos."

Mr. Maita sighed softly, his eyes full of appreciation: "I remember your father is British, but you shouldn't have stayed in the UK much, right?"

Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, I grew up in China since I was a child, and I am a native Chinese."

"I see." Mr. Maita nodded as if he understood something when he heard this emphasis on his identity.

"I have heard all your songs, they are very good. You are the most talented young person I have ever seen, much stronger than when I was young.

If you can walk your own path in the future, your achievements will definitely be higher than ours."

This time, Maita used the tone of a senior, which can be considered a piece of advice for Luo Quan.

Getting such a high evaluation from Mr. Maita, Luo Quan felt very useful and her face was a little red: "There are still many places where I need to learn and improve."

"Humility is a good thing, but excessive humility seems hypocritical." Maita laughed, "Good is good, bad is bad. I believe that music fans all over the world will not think you are not skilled.

However, I can also understand, after all, the culture is different."

"Understanding is long live." Luo Quan's mouth raised slightly.

"Yes, understanding is long live." Mr. Maita responded softly.

Originally, he intended to let Luo Quan revitalize rock music. After all, for so many years, this girl in front of him is the only one whose work has caught his eye.

However, it seems that this girl doesn't have much interest in this aspect, so he won't force others.

One old and one young, in the chat, finally ushered in the official holding of the ceremony.

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

Subsequently, in the witness of everyone, the pentagram stone tiles engraved with the names of fifteen superstars were inlaid on the ground, and a stone tablet more than two meters high was also erected in the center of the square. ===== CHAPTER 584 =====
