Try to release discs in the United States to see if you can open up the European and American markets.Although difficult, it is worth the challenge. "Shen Xuanyu showed an indifferent smile, "In the past few days in the hospital, I have been thinking about everything I have done since my debut. It is indeed the same as what you said. We are just catering to the market as much as possible, unconsciously losing ourselves .If every musician is like this, there will be fewer and fewer fresh works.Not only did I fail to realize this, but I also imposed this practice on you, obliterating your individuality..."

"I kept saying that you should stand at the top, but I realized that I might not know the real you. I pretended to like you for many years and was your number one fan, but I wanted you to compromise yourself to cater to the so-called market..." Shen Xuanyu laughed at himself Shaking his head slightly, "It seems that I was really wrong."

"Maybe it's just that the creative ideas are different..." Chu Yi whispered.

"No, I think we should also try to find our own unique style, so we decided to go to the United States."

"You guys are on the rise in the domestic music scene. Isn't it a pity that you suddenly have to leave for 3 years?"

"I think it's a pity that there has been no breakthrough." Shen Xuanyu said, "Three years, whether it is long or short, you can be yourself as much as you want, we will work hard from 3 on the other side of the earth, and see you in three years. , I hope that both Eternal and Elysium will reach their best state at that time. And the two of us... can also use this time to ask our true inner thoughts."

Chu Yi stood silently beside Shen Xuanyu, the soft afternoon sun fell on him through the window, but his expression could not be seen clearly on the backlit side face.

When Eternal got on the plane to the other side of the ocean, Elysium was conducting pre-sale activities for the first mini album after the style comeback.

During that time, the media and entertainment headlines were dominated by these two bands under Stardust. People were amazed by Elysium's style change, and felt sorry for Eternal's sudden departure.

Shen Xuanyu chose to leave on that day, because he didn't want Chu Yi to see him off.

"Seeing you in that kind of situation, maybe I will be reluctant to leave." This is what Shen Xuanyu said when he called Chu Yi the night before he left.

The pre-sale of the Elysium mini-album is booming, and two songs have already provided online auditions. The style is very different from the previous ones, which makes the audience feel fresh and interesting. Heavy metal rock is not as unpopular as expected, but instead arouses the curiosity of many people.

The plane flew across the sky overhead, and the pure white plane clouds left traces in the blue sky.

In the next three years, if we work hard on our own, those problems may be solved easily.

Three years later.

If the entertainment section of the stack of magazines and newspapers in front of me didn't publish the news of the rock band Elysium's LIVE performance a few days later, then I can conclude that it must be unprofessional.

If you want to ask what is the biggest change in the domestic music scene in the past three years, I will tell you without hesitation. In a broad sense, it is the diversification of domestic music styles and forms, and it is no longer the same as before. , more and more personalized music works have been recognized by the public; in a narrow sense, Elysium is popular.

Born in the draft, with the help of the former popular band Eternal currently developing in the United States, the guitarist once reported negative news about working in HostClub. When his popularity soared, he suddenly changed his style and became a rare heavy metal commercial band, and then released a mini-album. It quickly attracted attention with its highly addictive songs and gray world view. Later, the rumor that the bass player and drummer were gay broke out. A new high, the first LIVE will be held in the following year, with an attendance rate of over 90%...

This legendary band full of various controversies is called Elysium. This year, they unexpectedly won a major award in the music industry, so they decided to hold a thank you LIVE.

All kinds of rumors about Elysium could not be finished for three days and three nights. However, every time they were pushed to the point of public opinion, they did not escape, but made the facts public with a sincere attitude.Their credo is to insist on being the real self, the real Elysium, if the fans can accept it, please continue to follow, if it is not acceptable, then thank them for their support.

It is this way of doing things that most artists dare not, that allows them to have more and more steadfast fans.

The LIVE venue is not too big to be exaggerated. The purpose of thanking LIVE is to give back to the fans who have supported Elysium for three years. They hope that everyone can be as close to them as possible.

After these years of training, the four members of Elysium have matured a lot compared to their debut.

The opening of the LIVE is the editing of various PVs, programs and other videos in the past three years. Everything is very simple, without luxurious decorations, just to let everyone see the most authentic Elysium.

The members came to the stage one after another, and took their positions amidst the overwhelming cheers and screams from the audience.

Captain & lead singer He Yuan, wearing a tailored black windbreaker, stood in front of Limai in the center of the stage, and greeted fans with a deep and magnetic voice.

Guitarist Chu Yi, in a casual but metallic outfit, opened with a skilled guitar solo.

Bass player Ji Rui, wearing a black and red dress with high-top Martin boots, and long straight black hair is his symbol in recent years. After leaning slightly, he played a piece of bass casually.

Drummer Kang Chen, wearing a simple white vest, can see the well-developed muscles of his upper arms. He only played a few simple drums as a greeting to his fans.

Without too many polite words, He Yuan gave a thank you speech to the fans on behalf of Elysium, and then started the LIVE. Today's show is to let everyone see the best live performance without extra embellishments.

One after another, the lead singer's emotional singing made some fans even shed tears. When rock music becomes the power to communicate with each other, it doesn't need any language, just a line of lyrics or a melody, which can go straight to the softest part of the heart.

Singing and music echoed under the high dome of the venue, the temperature rose rapidly, roaring, screaming, sweat, tears, forget who you are, just sing along with the rhythm of Elysium, as if there is only this piece left in the world A holy place, as if the whole world can only hear their voices.

All the popular works of the past three years were performed. After a short break, Elysium played several unannounced pieces for fans, including works created by Elysium when he was a student, and some pieces that were not included when the album was released.

The temperature at the scene remained high, and the enthusiasm of the fans could not be resisted. Even though the LIVE track had finished playing, there was a neat "encore" cry from the audience.

He Yuan gestured for everyone to be quiet, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for your enthusiasm. Our name is Elysium, which means ecstasy, and we will be happy to the fullest, so there will definitely be an anke."

Cheers immediately erupted from the audience.

"But before that, please let everyone watch another band's performance, and let us take a breath, okay?" He Yuan continued to talk and retreated to the side of the stage.

The big screen gradually became brighter, and the screen seemed to be a LIVE venue, the auditorium was packed with darkness, and the four-piece band on the stage was playing. The picture zoomed in. When people saw the four people on the stage clearly, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's Eternal! It's their LIVE in the United States!" Someone shouted.

Chu Yi opened his eyes wide and looked at the once familiar face on the big screen. The outline was clear, and the corners of his eyes carried an indescribable charm. The knuckles of the right hand that plucked the guitar were still so beautiful...

At the end of the song, amidst applause and cheers, guitarist Shen Xuanyu walked up to the microphone and said the following in English: "The last song is dedicated to a very special and important friend in my life. This song has no name. It has never been published. I wrote it for this friend. Three years ago, we agreed to work hard for each other across the ocean. Three years later, I can stand here as an affirmation of my hard work. I know that he will not let me down. This song is for him. Sometimes we don’t know how to express some feelings, but these can’t help the music.”

The guitarist put down the guitar and sat down next to the piano lifted up by the staff. There was a small exclamation from below. No one had ever heard this guitarist play on the piano.

The slender fingers flick the keys lightly, the melodious sound flows like a clear river, and the magnetic sound numbs the auditory nerves like poison.

I stretch out my hands but I can't hug you / I know it's a problem that has no solution / I can't hide the secret in my heart / But I can't tell you

All I can do is look at you from a distance / I’m really sorry that I can’t give you warmth

Even so / Even so / The meaning of existence is to protect you / You make me forget my weakness

Even so / Even so / The meaning of existence is to protect you / It is you who make me look forward to the confused future

Will one day/you remember me in the corner of memory

Sometimes we don't know how to express some feelings, but these can't help the music.

Let the music say what I really think, let the music say what I miss about you.

Even if he spends another three years, it is impossible for him to forget that once at his home
