Chapter 267. Is rock music still alive (?)

As time passed, the entertainment industry was getting more and more fierce. It also includes the agencies and the actors.

If an actor can stay in the industry for an year then, he can be said to be someone who has faced many trials and tribulations.

Just an year is enough to gain an understanding of the industry

One will also understand how hard it was to get even a little popular. It was more about luck and connections, then one's skill.

Even Ren's role in «Secret spy» was thanks to his friendship with Chu Min. If not, then getting a role would be a hard job.

Many actors would not even be able to get a single role. So, to become popular, they will try to go some other way.

And that was singing.

Almost all the agencies would try to get their assigned actor to make a mark in the music industry.

It was because getting popularity in the music industry was easier than trying to get popular as an actor.

Even popular actors try to transition into the music industry. Most of the time they will try to release a single.

It was because it was less riskier than making a full album.

They will also try to feature popular singers or girl groups in the single. That will increase the chances of it being a hit.

Just last year, a popular male actor had released an album. Despite his singing being just average, the single had topped the charts.

It was because the single featured a popular girl group in it.

Actors and girl groups collaborating with each other on a single was now even a common thing in the industry.

Lily's proposal just changed the girl group to a rock band.

”Your proposal is promising on paper but it has a huge risk involved in it. Rock bands are the trend of the 90s. It won't work at this age.”

Director Zhao said as he shook his head.

”Everything has a risk involved in it and rock bands can become popular. They are still very popular in the west.”

Lily also countered his words. Her earlier nervous attitude has started to fade away. She was not even hesitating now.

”Rock bands are famous in the west but we are not in the west. We are in China!!”

Rock music is still famous in almost all the western countries and some of the most popular artists in the world consist of rock bands.

Despite the insurgence of pop music, rock culture has an indisputable place in all genres of music.

But rock music was slowly fading away in countries like China, Korea, India and Japan. It was because people are most invested in other genres of music.

The rapid popularity of music like K-pop is also a reason behind this.

”I know that rock bands are not popular but rock music hasn't died yet. It can again become popular if one gives it a chance.”

”That chance will come with a huge risk.”

”Like I said, everything has a risk factor in it and why are you so afraid of taking risks? From what I know, the popularity of Ren is due to the risks he had taken till now.”

Lily said in argument but she soon realised that her tone has already changed to informal.

She was in front of a director from a big class agency and she was even arguing with him. She had made a grave mistake.

Her band was the one to request Ren into featuring in their song. She can't act like Ren was the person who requested to get featured.

”I'm sorry. I should not have talked to you like that. It's my mistake.”

In the end, she lowered her head and slowly said.
