King of Stage

Three months, so short and so long, during which many things happened.

After the funeral, the matter between Cliff and Trastan detonated. The latter has been instigating Cliff to fly solo. Cliff went from angrily to resisting to deep thinking. Resist the temptation to reach out through Trastan and other labels.

It is said to the outside world that the one-day king's contract is about to expire, and they are looking for a next home.

On the one hand, One Day King did only sign a two-album agreement with Atlantic Records. The release of "Nine" also means that the contract expires. It can be seen that Atlantic Records is full of sincerity and is bound to win——

You'd be a fool to miss out on a band as hot as One Day Kings.

The problem is that one day the king also knows his own value, if they "excessively ask the price and pay back the money on the spot", then Atlantic Records will not be able to get whatever they want.

It is precisely because of this that there are still many variables in contract negotiations.

On the other hand, Johnny Quaid is well-known as the manager of the King for a Day, but he is the manager of Atlantic Records, and his position and position are somewhat delicate. Against this background, Cliff, as the band leader, Inviting Trastan as a broker to secretly test the quotations of other companies is also a matter of course.

As a result, other record companies kept tight-lipped, and did not leak any news in a short period of time.

It wasn't until the funeral that the paparazzi captured the scene of the quarrel between Maxim and Cliff that people in the industry faintly realized that things were not that simple——

They previously assumed that if the Kings were united as one, Cliff would be able to represent the attitude of the entire band; but with the death of Ollie and the emergence of conflicts, people also realized that the soul of the King still depends on Ronan However, Cliff's opinion may not necessarily mean what he says.

The wind began to leak out.

Although there are as many companies as there are stars who want to get a share of profits first, there are not a few companies that are envious of the success of the king for a day and resent and envy.

Rumor has it that the city is full of storms.

Slowly, Cliff's ambition to fly solo is exposed, and whether the king can continue to be intact will be a big question mark.

Originally, Maxim was firmly opposed to Cliff.

Although Maxim really hopes that his creative talent will be more recognized, especially after the new album "Young Blood" has received rave reviews,

That kind of desire became more and more urgent - Cliff was right about this point; but in essence, Maxim still maintained his rationality. He knew that the king's success for a day came from Ronan. If he left The band may not be able to play well.

More importantly, Maxim also has his own calculations:

After Ollie died, they picked a new drummer to join, so it was a good thing for him to have a second creative source within the band.

Therefore, Maxim does not want the king to disband one day.

However, the news that Ronan lost his hearing was revealed later—the paparazzi dug up clues from the hospital, and then followed the clues to find the truth, which caused a sensation in the entire North American entertainment circle in an instant.

From Ollie's sudden death to Ronan's deafness, in just a few months, the king fell from the peak of the sky to the abyss of endless darkness. This is undoubtedly explosive news.

All of a sudden, the news was overwhelming.

Of course, the sales volume of "Nine" has also rebounded strongly following the popularity of the news, regaining the upper hand in the entangled competition with the soundtrack of "Frozen".

On top of that, the news of Ronan's deafness once again detonated the band's internal bomb.

Maxim strongly condemned Ronan and Johnny for not trusting him. He didn't tell him such an important thing, which made him feel excluded. He was very sad and angry, and went to Ronan's house to make a big fuss , and finally rushed out of the door angrily.

Ronan's deafness was a devastating blow to the One Day King.

What if Ronan never heard the words again? So what about the show? What about the follow-up album? Is the king for a day already in name only?

Maxim's thoughts wavered.

During this time, the city was full of wind and rain.

There are countless rumors about One Day King, although Atlantic Records has repeatedly emphasized that One Day King will not disband, and the band members will work together to tide over the difficulties; the knights even united and launched a "three-finger salute" in 36 cities on the North American continent Flash mob activities, express their determination with practical actions, no matter what the difficulty, they are willing to advance and retreat with the band.

Even though Ollie died young, the king's spirit was still united; even though Ronan was in trouble, the knights still did not surrender easily.

The three-finger salute that belongs to a king for a day still stands proudly in the wind and rain.

The efforts of the knights once shook Maxim's mind, but "it will rain and my mother will get married", once the mind is made up, it will be irreversible after all.

"Ronan can't hear me anymore, what else can I do?" These were Maxim's original words, not despair, but a mixture of anger and unwillingness. On the one hand, he was indeed moved by the knight's behavior; But on the other hand, he was angry that the knight did not consider his situation.

To this day, the One Day King still has not officially announced the dissolution, but the planned second tour has been postponed indefinitely. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the band has existed in name only; meanwhile, Maxim and Cliff have been busy. Start planning for your future.

Obviously, Cliff is already one step ahead. With Trastan's matchmaking, he has formed a brand new band. It has not yet been named yet, but the band has already started rehearsals, and with Trastan's promotion, land has been formed one after another. Continued to meet with different record companies.

Now Cliff is no longer the unknown one-day king. As a Grammy Award winner and band leader with two best-selling albums, Trastan can easily find producers and record companies who are willing to interview. .

Maxim's requirements and goals are slightly different, but he is also interviewing band members, hoping to form a band with himself as the core, a band with real strength; Prepare for the follow-up interview signing.

So, what about Ronan?

There are really not many things that Ronan can recover. He met with Cliff and Maxim several times alone, trying to resolve their conflicts.

But the matter of deafness bound Ronan's hands and feet.

After meeting twice, Cliff has already refused to answer the phone, and Maxim is still willing to answer the phone, but Ronan must convey his ideas through Johnny or Alena, there is no way to meet, and ultimately there is no way to communicate.

Things, like this, inevitably slipped into an out-of-control collapse.
