"Wow, another band has joined, and it's the Ghost Band, which is number 380 on the charts."
"I really like this band. Although their songs are a bit gritty and niche, it doesn't detract from the high quality of their music."
"Not just Ghost Band, there's more..."
Both the live streamers and the guests at the venue were stunned by the influx of bands.
Those were Black Mirror, ranked 76th, and Strange Beard, ranked 80th; both bands arrived at the same time.
When they pushed open the door, the entire Hive Bar paused for a moment.
No one spoke; their eyes were fixed on the two bands.
It's important to understand that bands ranked in the top 100 are incredibly prestigious.
With countless fans and immense influence!
That's why no one expected that two bands of this caliber would visit the Hive Bar; it felt completely out of place.
After the initial shock came boundless joy. Ding Meiqing and Song Yan's roommates all rushed forward, all for an autograph.
"Coming tonight was absolutely the right decision, I love Hive Bar!"
In their minds, Hive Bar has become the best place to get up close and personal with celebrities.
The live stream started to liven up because of the appearance of these bands. The number of online viewers, which was already over 100,000, has increased again and is not far from 200,000.
"Karen, Mangosteen, it really is you guys!" As soon as Lin Sen entered, he saw the lead singers of the two bands surrounded by them, and felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Just like when you're a regular badminton player, and you suddenly see someone carrying a badminton racket on the subway, you'll take a second look and even feel a sense of familiarity.
"Brother Sen, we've been waiting for you for so long!" Shanzhu and Karen are a year or two younger than Lin Sen, and since Lin Sen debuted early, he is considered a senior, so they all call him Brother Sen.
Lin Sen pulled the two people away from the crowd and arranged a better spot for them: "I'll treat you to a drink; the cocktails here are quite delicious."
Lin Sen wasn't particularly interested in alcohol, but after drinking cocktails, he got a little tipsy. The taste was like encountering good music—intoxicating.
"Since you've said so, we absolutely have to try it!"
"By the way, Brother Sen, what is the background of this masked man that he was able to persuade you to come out of retirement?" This question had been stuck in Karen and Mangosteen's minds for far too long, and they felt uncomfortable if they didn't ask.
Lin Sen smiled mysteriously: "I really can't tell you, it concerns Mr. Mask's secret."
However, I can tell you something: he's not actually a veteran in the music industry; he's just a newcomer.
"A newcomer with such strength?" Karen and Mangosteen were both somewhat surprised.
"He's definitely a newcomer!" Lin Sen reiterated.
Bei Chen used to work in the film and television industry, and only recently entered the music scene. He's definitely a newcomer to the music industry.
The more this was the case, the more curious Karen and Mangosteen became. How could a newcomer like them be able to get Lin Sen to help them?
This masked man's strength is probably even greater than we imagined.
"Stop guessing, you two. The performance is about to start, and then you'll know why I'm making a comeback." Lin Sen said twice and walked towards the stage.
Karen and Mangosteen found a comfortable position to lean back. Since Lin Sen had said so, they decided to listen and see what he said.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll know once we bring it out and take a look!
With Lin Sen taking the stage, the Masked Band was complete.
"Hello everyone, we are the Masked Band, and this is our first time meeting you all in a formal setting."
I'm the lead singer, Mr. Mask!
"I'm the bassist and backing vocalist, Miss Rabbit."
"I am Lu Jiuyuan, the drummer and lead vocalist."
"I am the guitarist, Lin Sen."
"I am the keyboardist, Lin Zhixia."
"I'm the bassist, Zhao Xiu."
"I am the drummer, Wang Qinyue."
A band with seven members, including one lead singer and two backup singers, is truly rare.
Among them, Lu Jiuyuan and Lin Zhixia are already second-tier singers, and the popularity of the former Five Centimeters Band trio is not low either.
Add to that the recently popular Mr. Mask and Miss Bunny, and this lineup and combination crushes most bands.
Of the seven, Lin Zhixia appeared the fewest times.
For Kyushu rock music, many songs do not require the use of a keyboard, so Lin Zhixia only rehearsed once.
On that occasion, Lu Jiuning happened to be out on business.
Now, Lu Jiuning can finally see for himself what kind of woman could make Xiao Jiu fall for her.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Zhixia's first impression is that she's very cool!
Her androgynous mullet and wolf tail hairstyle, with a small section of hair on either side of her ears dyed blue, along with perfectly styled bangs, clip-on earrings, and a sleeveless denim top, reveals her taste and preferences.
Add to that her delicate features and casual, languid expression, and she looks like a cool girl from a comic book—definitely my brother's type.
They have a completely different style from Lu Jiuning.
Lu Jiuning is intellectual, mature, and versatile; she can be cold or summery.
She nudged Lu Jiuyuan with her elbow, "Lin Zhixia isn't bad looking at all, I agree to this marriage!"
From the older sister's perspective, at least Lin Zhixia's looks are worthy of Lu Jiuyuan.
Lu Jiuyuan was utterly embarrassed!
"What are you thinking, sis? She hasn't even agreed to be my girlfriend yet, and you're already thinking about marriage?"
Lu Jiuning chuckled and teased, "Then you'd better work even harder! With two people this good-looking, the baby you have is sure to be adorable!"
Lu Jiuyuan: ...
So it turns out you care about the child?
Are you in such a hurry to become an aunt?
When she's with Lu Jiuyuan, Lu Jiuning can't be serious for more than three minutes; perhaps this is her true nature.
After finishing the pleasantries, it was exactly 8 o'clock, and the performance officially began.
"I hope that every song from now on will bring you surprises!"
After Bei Chen finished speaking, song information appeared on the screen:
Song: "The World Won't Collapse Easily"
Performed by: Mr. Mask, Miss Rabbit
Performed by: Masked Band
Lyrics and music by: Mr. Mask
(Actually, the lyrics were written by Chen Shenglun and Lü Yiqiu, and the music was composed by Chen Shenglun. This is a song performed by the Disturbing Band!)
If there's one band on Earth that's seriously underrated, it's definitely the Disturb.
They debuted relatively late and didn't have much support, so they missed the best period for success.
But that doesn't mean they aren't strong.
This song, "The World Won't Collapse Easily," is definitely a masterpiece.
Moreover, even after being covered multiple times, and even when Xilin sang it on Produce Camp, she couldn't capture the essence of the original.
As Lin Zhixia's hands began to slide across the keyboard, the song officially started...
