How can I get confused with the top start

Chapter 592

Chu Zhi in Lagos also has a little understanding of this African city, and the prices can be said to be two extremes.Local "products" are very cheap, such as manpower. For a few hundred yuan, you can hire a local as a special driver. Not only can you let him drive, but you can also let him hit whoever you want.

However, once it is imported, even daily consumables such as Coca-Cola are very expensive.The reason for this situation is that the locals crazily admire imported goods, and the second is that Lagos is also a big city with tens of millions of people after all, and there is a basis for pushing up the premium of imported goods.

"I have nothing to do these two days. If you want to go shopping, Zhuzi, you can go shopping. You can buy some souvenirs." Every time Chu Zhi goes abroad, he will try to take a day and a half off, so that the little assistant Going around, but if the schedule is really tight...that can't be helped.

Little Zhuzi said hey and hey. She is actually very frugal, but she can’t refuse to collect special products from various countries. Nigeria’s butterfly paintings are very famous, and they are portraits stitched together with various butterfly wings.

"Be careful," Chu Zhi instructed.

If you only stay in the center of Lagos, it's still very safe, but once you get a little closer to the suburbs, it's more dangerous. If you go out of the city... well, it's better not to go out of the city.

With a series of yells in his mouth, Xiao Zhuzi slipped out to go shopping.

The room that Yandi Beast lives in is a family parent-child room with two bedrooms and one living room, which has more children's rooms than ordinary suites.

For safety reasons, Huang Yinguo lived in the master bedroom, Xu Xiang lived in the next room, and Chu Zhi lived in the children's room. Looking at the 1.6*1.8 bed, the emperor beast was silent for a few seconds.

"It's okay, the short one is also very cute." Chu Zhi muttered to herself, and quickly convinced herself.

If you sleep on your side, you can actually straighten your legs, or you can sleep curled up.This is how a man can bend and stretch, Chu Zhi believes that when going abroad, everything is safe except for safety.

After settling in, Chu Zhi checked his mailbox. The organizing committee had already sent the lineup form for the music festival, and he was arranged to be on stage on the evening of the 17th.

At the same time, Akanda and the sexy queen Reina are all in NO.17. This arrangement is in line with the business plan. The most popular artists are arranged on the last night, but there are also first-line big names such as Frozen Bird and Old JT in the first two nights. Coffee finale.

But to prevent accidents or time constraints, even the stars who will be on stage in the next two days will arrive here ahead of time, like Chu Zhi, like the band of seven.

"You actually have time to come out to eat with me today. This is really weirder than catching tuna in the lake." Holman said.

Lyteon pondered: "Nigeria's law prohibits sex trade, so the sex industry in this country is forced and unsafe in terms of hygiene. In fact, there are many underage girls and teenagers in West Africa, all of whom are Nigerians."

"?" Holman was stunned for a few seconds, he didn't understand the meaning of his friend's words, he hesitated for a while before he understood.

As a good friend, he knows Leitron's "hobbies" and where he goes, and he claims to understand the customs of various countries.

What he said just now was: there are no good girls in this place, so of course I have time to go out for dinner.

Shit, this ball.

Holman was speechless, he said: "Mr. Chu is also in Lagos, Lei Teon, are you going to meet your idol?"

"..."

The pasta in Leitron's mouth is no longer delicious. Since the masked singer Azalez incident, he has become a super small fruit that is sure to be established. He is too embarrassed to be anti-Chinese.

Sin!

"Don't disturb the idol's rest." Leitron casually found a reason, trying to fool this matter.

It's not surprising that Lei Teang invited Chu Zhi, no matter what, he must admit that this Chinese person has an extremely terrifying number of supporters, so it's strange that Chu Zhi was not invited to the global music event.

But why do they choose to settle in the city of Lagos, Reina is in Abuja (the current capital of Nigeria), and Phoenix is ​​in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia).

Santi, the most famous rich second-generation singer in the European and American music circles, the kind who would go back to inherit his wealth if he couldn't sing well. He directly transported a luxury car by air, and stationed at a place [-] kilometers away from the stage, across the Sahel. Across so many countries, there are many choices for guests and fans.

"After all, you have to rest well to have physical strength." Leitron added.

"Shit, so I don't need time to rest?" Holman was furious. For the first time, he felt that his friend's double standard tended to be on others.

"?" Leitron looked at Holman who was furious with incomprehension.

Tired, destroy it, Holman only felt a pain in his liver.

Terrato Italian Restaurant is an Italian restaurant opened by a Chinese chef invited by the British owner. It is widely praised by locals and Europeans and Americans who travel here. It can be said to be one of the must-see shops in Lagos.

Originally, I wanted to go shopping after eating, but now Leitron is not in the mood. Back at the George Hotel, he met Madden from the band. In two seconds, they each moved away.

The seven-member band has been established for more than ten years, and there are too many conflicts among the members. Of course, it will not be disbanded for a while.

Wanting to stay alone for the meeting quietly, Leiten turned on the hotel TV, which showed Nigeria's largest local media "Today" filming the stage of the music festival.

The endless desert and Gobi under the lens of the camera appeared abruptly in a rocky clearing. The huge outdoor audio equipment circled a large open space surrounded by protective nets. You will need to buy a ticket to enter the venue.

The skinny refugees looked around curiously. They had never seen such things in their entire lives.Although more than 6000 million people live in this place, drought and sandstorms have caused a large number of people to become refugees.

Leitron felt inexplicably annoyed, he snapped off the TV.

The silence didn't last long, and soon the agent sent a message, informing him that he would be interviewed by "Rolling Stone Magazine", and the itinerary was arranged by the brokerage company IMG (International Management Group).

Even though the seven-member band is an international top-tier band with strong autonomy, many managers still cannot refuse the arrangements.

"Rolling Stone Weekly" and "Rolling Stone Magazine" are completely different. The former belongs to the weekly magazine published by Rolling Stone Music, and it was once eccentric.

"Rolling Stone Magazine" is a semi-monthly magazine established in San Francisco, USA, born in the era of the rise of rock music.Because of rock music, well-known bands were born one by one, Europe and the United States ushered in the golden age of rock and roll, and the trend swept the world, and the Rolling Stones grew together and became one of the authoritative media in the global music circle.

How authoritative is it? I often publish rankings such as "top200 greatest singers of all time", "[-] moments that changed rock music", "[-] great guitarists", etc., and they are regarded as achievements by fans and repeatedly boasted. Higuchi The reason why Huaren has a high status in Neon is that on the one hand, he was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and on the other hand, he was named as one of the "Top [-] Guitarists" by Rolling Stone.

The location of the interview was the conference room of the George Hotel, and the interviewer was Bennes, deputy editor-in-chief of "Rolling Stone Magazine", the second in command of the magazine.Even the unruly bass player Madden gave enough respect and greeted each other honestly.

"The seven-member band ranked 2025th in the [top50 greatest rock bands in 39] list released last year. What do you think about this ranking?" Bannes is over 60, obviously not drinking, but His facial skin was also flushed as if soaked in alcohol, and he spoke slowly.

"Thank you for the recognition from the music critics, we will create more and better music." The lead singer Retron responded.

Guitarist Dimitro added: "I also thank the fans for their support. With their support, we can go further."

Bannes' interview was not very conventional, and the question was a bit strange and sharp, "The style of the seven-member band is black metal and death metal, but they suddenly released a completely different Britpop. Did they release a soulless album in order to expand their popularity? ? Is it perfunctory to admit that the album was made?"

"Your band's album lyrics have a lot of longing for war and touting death. Are you going to Woodstock to witness war or peace."

and many more.

Fuck, their main style is black gold and dead gold, isn't that the lyrics of these two types of music styles?These questions are simply provocative and infuriating.

Lytron didn't know how to respond for a while, but fortunately, Dimitro came to the rescue in time, "The theme of music belongs to the theme of music, and the pursuit of humanity belongs to the pursuit of humanity. And the theme of our music is not longing for war and death. We want to use war to The topic of death and death awakened the sleeping people and made fans pay more attention to reality."

Bannes faithfully recorded the content of the interview. He believes that a good interview must be "offensive" before the other party can say anything.

The seven members of the band are lead vocalist Retron, guitarist Dimitro, bassist Madden, keyboardist and sub-guitarist Downing, and drummer Hopsky.

The ones who spoke on behalf of the team in public were Leiten and Dimitro. Madden used to be very talkative, but since this mocking mouth caused too much unnecessary trouble for the band, he kept silent.Tang Ning and Hopski were mascots from beginning to end, keeping silent and making music with peace of mind.

I would like to add something that my friends might want to know. Leitron shaved his head bald because he lost in a dick length competition with his friend, and now his hair has grown back completely.

"I am very much looking forward to the performance of the seven-member band, and I am also looking forward to this world's largest music festival. ABC, BBC, CANAL+, CCTV and other famous TV stations around the world will come to broadcast live."

Accompanied by the concluding remarks of Deputy Editor-in-Chief Bannes, the one-and-a-half-hour interview ended.

"This time the music festival will be broadcast live?" Leitron was surprised, he just heard the news.

It is very strange that the music festival also conducts live broadcasts.

"More than 50 TV stations around the world will broadcast the whole process live, and the audience is expected to exceed one billion people." Bannes said with a bit of solemnity in his tone: "No matter what the restart of the Woodstock concert is for, but now It has become a great event for all mankind."

The South African newspaper industry is as capable as livestock, and can negotiate so many live broadcasts. Even if each TV station only charges a small 1000 million for broadcasting rights, 57 counts is still a lot of small goals.

Money touches people's hearts, so it's no wonder there are so many conflicts within the organizing committee.

"Does Mr. Bannes have time tonight?" Leitron took the opportunity to ask.

"Evening? I'm sorry, the newspaper has arranged a lot of work for me, and I don't have time at night." Bannes declined the invitation to have dinner.

Leitron expressed his regret, originally he wanted to treat him to a meal and have a good chat, so that when their band releases their next album, they can give a better evaluation.

Rolling Stone's photographers and associate editors left the hotel conference hall.

"Do you think that Mr. Bannes tied his tie too tightly, and then his face turned red?" But Madden was so suffocated that he had a look of laughing but not laughing at all.

"Rolling Stone magazine didn't comment well on us, why are you so polite." Madden said.

"Just now he said that our album was perfunctory, why can't we just punch it?" Dimitro said, "It's an afterthought now."

"Hehe, I dare, will you let me in?" Madden said.

There was no bickering between the band members, one after another, and before a few minutes of rest, they were interviewed by the British "Q" publication.

Don't wonder why the seven-member band is so busy, it's obviously not popular.In fact, Akanda Bell, No.1 in the American music scene, is even busier. From yesterday to today, this is already the fifth visit.

Some entertainment magazines with a little bit of strength all sent people to fly over, wanting to get a share of the global popularity.

A group of Rolling Stone magazine left in a hurry because they were going to interview a bigger coffee.

"Mr. Chu Zhi, you are ranked 200th in [Top 27 Greatest Singers of All Time], and four songs entered the list in [Top 500 Greatest Songs in History], among which "Jesus Loves Me" is ranked 6th, What do you think of these evaluations,” Bannes asked.

view?After a hundred years, when he dies, he should be able to change from 27 to 1. No. [-] is impossible. After all, the international and skin color are there, and prejudice does not allow it.

"The song is loved by more people, which is what all singers hope for." Chu Zhi seemed to answer, but also didn't seem to answer.

"For this music festival, what are Mr. Chu Zhi's expectations? As far as I know, Mr. Chu Zhi has been invited to the Glastonbury Music Festival and South by Southwest Music Festival, and your response is 'If it is not necessary, Not going to any more festivals'," Bannes asked.

Chu Zhi pondered for a few seconds, and said sincerely: "I hope Woodstock Music Festival can truly bring peace, even if it's only for a short time."

I want to fart!Bannes, as a bigwig in the music industry, was well informed that the United Nations would dispatch the World Food Program and the UNHCR, because it was negotiated that 20% of the music festival’s income would be donated to the starving people in the Sahel. As a result, the Wall Street group behind After buying tickets, people say that after deducting operating costs, there is only 2000 million US dollars in revenue.

According to the promise in advance, there is only 400 million US dollars. Isn't this Nima sending beggars?The United Nations dispatched thousands of employees (counted as informal contract employees), isn't that equal to a debt?

For the sake of wrangling, most of the employees were withdrawn.

But... Bens saw Chu Zhi's bright eyes, could it be that he is really so naive?

Think carefully about the life experience of the Chinese superstar in front of you, and then think about those two songs that can save souls, it seems really possible.

Rare idealists, they should be ashamed of themselves, Bannes thought, but replied: "God bless, the world will definitely be peaceful."

Chu Zhi nodded, seemingly satisfied with the deputy editor's answer.

Is he an idealist?That was simply the biggest joke of the year. The reason why he accepted the invitation was mainly because he was worried that the organizing committee would not invite other Chinese singers besides him.

"It is said that Mr. Chu Zhi's new album is already under preparation. Is this news accurate? Can you share it with us." Bannes continued to ask.

Huh?Where did the news come from?The new album "Is Peace?" "has not yet started to be announced. Could it be the news from the Australian recording studio? After all, Rolling Stone magazine has a wide reach.

"Since I experienced some things last year, my thinking has changed a bit. At that time, I started planning, and the recording has been completed." Chu Zhi said: "It's an album about anti-war."

Sure enough, he was an idealist, Bannes nodded, and continued to ask the next question.Compared with the attitude of the seven-member band and the level of tricky questions, the tone of the interview with Chu Zhi was very peaceful. After all, Bannes believed that the interview should allow both parties to have a good interview environment.

"Is Mr. Chu Zhi free at night?" Bannes asked at the end of the interview.

"I'm sorry Mr. Bens, I have an appointment tonight." Chu Zhi politely declined.

"That's really unfortunate. I hope I can have a private chat with Mr. Chu Zhi when I have time," Bannes said.

"Next time." Chu Zhi said.

The reason why the deputy editor-in-chief Bannes has double standards is not because of popularity. In the opinion of internationally renowned music critic Bannes, no matter how popular the singer is, music critics should still criticize it.

Could it be that the United States is afraid that the three countries will fail?Wait, that's not necessarily the case.

All in all, all in all, Bannes is polite because of his rights.

And Chu Zhi’s reason for refusing his invitation was really not an excuse. Earlier, Chu Zhi had decided to invite George Rob Derek for dinner. George was one of the members of the organizing committee to restart the Woodstock Music Festival.

To be precise, it was George who approached Mike Lange and planned the restart. He also called and invited the guests one by one. He also arranged for the South African newspaper and the United Nations.

The dinner party was meaningless, so we just chatted nonsense. Chu Zhi confirmed one thing after a meal. overwhelming.

Between the various forces, the Woodstock Music Festival was successfully held. The singers who appeared on the stage were even slightly less powerful, but they couldn't hold the stage. There were tens of thousands of spectators!

"People come to be crazy gods, and in this kind of situation, can't they really become gods?" Chu Zhi didn't go to the scene as an audience, but squatted in the hotel to watch the broadcast, the crowds were too scary.

Chu Zhi changed channels to watch something else, but changed seven or eight channels in a row. Even if they were not broadcasting music festivals, they were still discussing content related to music festivals, as if this was the only topic left in the world.

The last time such an exaggerated news coverage was when Da Mao attacked Ermao.

Go to the local channel VON (Voice of Nigeria), which is broadcasting the news.

Early this morning, Nigeria was attacked by extremist groups. Although the city attacked was not Lagos, but Karalai, a city on the border with Benin, this area is only about [-] kilometers away from the music festival stage.

At one end is the extreme prosperity, where a large number of tourists with leisure and money arrive, resulting in a short-lived bubble-like economic prosperity, and at the other end is the chaotic scene where hundreds of people are injured and many people die.

Except for VON, the global media did not report this news. To put it bluntly, those who were not in the local area, or even said that they were in the local area but did not pay attention to the news, did not know about the attack.

On the contrary, under the live broadcast of 57 TV stations, the music festival became the focus of global discussion, and various media rushed to report it one after another.

"Music festival is really fun for you, but it's a pity that I don't have a holiday."

"There are so many people. It is said that there were 70 people on the three stages on the first day. Just watching the live broadcast, the densely packed audience already feels crowded."

"Ahhh, my heart is pounding."

"Six, this activity organized by Europeans and Americans is finally a good thing."

"One thing to say, even if this is a political show, so many tourists can also develop the local economy. From this point alone, I am quite impressed."

……

The second day of the Woodstock Music Festival was still hot, and even like the three major closing ceremonies in Europe, there were celebrities coming to catch the heat.
