Two Hundred and Forty Open Possible

At the beginning, Shining Band's "Hey Hey" went from penniless to No. 3 on the Billboard Singles Chart, writing a fairy tale for indie bands, and it really became a widely circulated story in the independent music circle, because Shining Band persisted At the same time, he has won recognition. This is the perfect situation.

But the success of the single didn't earn the band much exposure, let alone a gig on a mainstream talk show, for a number of reasons.

On the one hand, they don’t have enough contacts—Bruno’s private party has indeed created important conditions for the One Day Kings, whether it is active or passive, Jimmy Kimmel can see the One Day Kings, this is shining Opportunities that the band never got.

On the other hand, the song "Chasing the Light" itself hit the spotlight and sparked a hot topic of discussion on social networks. People who were imprisoned in day-to-day mechanical work felt their true feelings from the lyrics. And awakened one's own enthusiasm, which is also the key that the Shining Band failed to trigger.

In any case, now that Jimmy saw Ronan and the Kings for a Day, he was ready to seize the opportunity and create a hot spot, which is why he got an invitation to the show.

Then, the story of the Arabian Nights happened like this.

But... The difference between One Day Kings and Shining Band is that the latter lacks the restraint and planning of the company, so it missed the full-blown rising period, and is still climbing slowly until now; the former owns the company's Supported by the back, it has continued to rise steadily, but at the same time, it also needs to face the constraints of the company.

"Winning or losing does not matter".

Although it can't be described as a "failure", the first problem that lies in Jimmy's invitation to the One Day King as a guest show is indeed Atlantic Records.

And apparently, Ronan had no memory of it at all.

company!

From Jimmy's words, Ronan awakened an important existence, and some doubts were resolved.

It appears that Jimmy took Alice as a manager sent by Atlantic Records, so he said nothing on the phone, but waited for Ronan to call back.

Ronan completely forgot that the record company controls the band's planning and schedule, but thinking about it seriously, Ronan's choice of Atlantic Records is not surprising.

It can be seen that Atlantic Records still hopes to maintain the professional image of the band, and use music to impress the audience. From quantitative change to qualitative change, then appearing in a talk show will do more harm than good.

Although talk shows are a platform to increase exposure, talk shows also have their own attributes that may not be suitable for the image of the band.

On the one hand, talk shows are often more commercialized, which is a kind of dilution of the professional attitude of the band.

On the other hand, talk shows have strict requirements on eloquence, demeanor, temperament and other personal charms, which are two different things from stage image. Countless top musicians may be radiant on the stage, but under the magnifying glass of real life, they may be full of ugly appearances.

Not to mention bands such as the Beatles, Queens, and Led Zeppelin who do not hear anything outside the window, even bands such as Coldplay and Magic Red that have firmly established a place in the mainstream commercial market, they are more focused on touring and music. Albums are rarely promoted on talk shows.

It's not that you can't appear in a talk show, but that you need to think more carefully.

Atlantic Records is still uneasy about the members of the One-Day Kings band, feeling that their talk show appearances may cause trouble.

So, even with such a big opportunity as the Jimmy Kimmel talk show, Atlantic Records hesitated and didn't give an immediate answer.

Ronan also became curious, "Jimmy, you have seen my band members too, how do you believe that we can complete a wonderful program?"

It shouldn’t matter if Ollie is shy about recording a show, but it’s more difficult to make jokes; Cliff gets nervous easily,

The chain may be lost at critical moments, and he is too serious to be suitable for humor; Maxim is very suitable for TV shows, but his eloquence still needs to be honed.

A one-day king with both advantages and disadvantages has too many variables, so he may not be the best candidate for a talk show guest.

"Ha, Ronan, are you questioning my professionalism?" Jimmy's confident words made Ronan laugh, and then Jimmy continued, "I have confidence in you. I like your style and I believe that you can show your unique charm when standing in front of the camera."

"Thank you." Ronan was already able to accept the compliment politely, although his smile was still a bit reserved.

"Moreover, your teammates all have their own personalities, everyone is special, and I am looking forward to different sparks colliding on the show. You should believe me, I know how to record the show, and I also know the possible challenges. What a challenge, but that's the funnest part of the show."

Jimmy went on to say earnestly that he was trying to convince Ronan—

The positions, as if reversed, shouldn't Ronan beg Jimmy to let the band be on the show? It always feels weird now.

Ronan chuckled, "Jimmy, can I be honest with you?"

"Of course! There's no cameras rolling now," Jimmy encouraged positively. "If there were cameras, to be precise, I'd encourage you to be more honest, you know, we're always looking for a hit and a gimmick."

The joking tone made Ronan chuckle directly, "I'm not sure if I can do well, but I want to give it a try. I think this is a very interesting challenge."

Ronan is sincere, he thinks that the TV stage and the concert stage should be different, so that the audience can see the different appearance of the band, which is very good. Once again, he is willing to open up possibilities, make different attempts, meet different challenges, and truly make life full of color.

On the other end of the phone, Jimmy clenched his fists without realizing it, and the burst of ecstasy made his smile burst into full bloom.

Obviously, Ronan should feel honored, but in the end, he was very excited. Then he came to his senses, and Jimmy raised the corners of his mouth happily, partly because of Ronan, he likes Ronan's style of handling things, and his persistence and tenacity can always be felt behind the faint geniality; there are more reasons It's because of the challenge.

Interviewing the One Day Kings Band, this is indeed a challenge that needs to face many risks. It may succeed or fail. Such uncertainty allows Jimmy to escape from the boring daily program recording and feel the sense of crisis again. Rediscovered enthusiasm for work.

"Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show" has gone through a full ten years since 2003. The show has gradually stabilized and work has gradually entered a routine. However, Jimmy, who was born as a comedian, realized that such a "comfort" is very scary , not only may lose the sense of humor and humor, but may also fall into a creative bottleneck, and the vitality of the program will slowly wither and disappear.

Jimmy doesn't want that.

It is precisely because of the uncertainty of the One Day Kings that Jimmy is more eager for this challenge.
