Chapter 417: Look at the joke

It was a very young band, and all four of them were in their twenties. Xiao Qi introduced them to Ye Zheng one by one. "Guitarist He Yong! Nineteen years old this year! Originally, he was a courier deliverer, but he delayed a lot of work because of making music, and a few days ago he heard someone singing rock on the street on the way to deliver a courier, so he went to listen to it, but he didn't know that the courier had been stolen a lot. Not to mention being fired by the boss, he also kept all his savings in it!"

"Bassist Zhao Tong, don't look at his name like a girl, and he has long hair with a shawl, but he is the most gentleman in our group, the Northeast master, the amount of alcohol is very good, and the three of us can't drink him together!

"Keyboardist Sun Jianming, this guy is a stuffy gourd, so I won't introduce you much, anyway, you can't talk to him a few words a year!" "Finally, our dear drummer Song Hanlin, twenty-one years old, is the only old man in our group who is over twenty years old, and he is also our big brother. But it's a pity that you have ruined such a cultured name, you look at the face of meat, not to mention, what kind of beard you have, you look like a thirty-year-old uncle!"

From Xiao Qi's introduction and their smiles and embarrassed expressions, it can be seen that they have a good relationship. Intimate relationships and sincere friendships are essential prerequisites for the long-term development of a band. The four of them seemed a little restrained, they wanted to see Ye Zheng, so they discussed letting Xiao Qi go, but they didn't expect to see each other. You must know that many music media have been rejected when they want to see Ye Zheng. A few people walked into the Dawn Bar, which was a relatively large bar, and the atmosphere in the bar was very lively, with people drinking, chatting, and listening to songs.

There is a small stage of about 20 square meters in the bar, and at this time there is a scantily clad little girl singing with a microphone, and there are several accompanying bands on the side of the stage. Below the stage, some people gathered around to listen to the song and chat, and some people took a sip from time to time with a wine glass. "Hey, the black butterfly is coming!" Xiao Qi As they walked into the bar, many people greeted them. "What song is Sister Xiao Qi going to sing today? Can I order a song?" someone asked. Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Of course we can, we can prepare a song ourselves, you order a song, it's still the old rule!"

"Okay!" laughed a few people. "The one with the highest price wins?" Ye Zheng asked softly. "It's not. It's boring to say that it's a thousand yuan a song, and the bar owner gives money, so why let them pay more. Our old rule is to use a special method to solve the problem when there is a disagreement, rock-paper-scissors!" Xiao Qi winked at Ye Zheng: "Isn't it fun?"

"It's interesting. Ye Zheng said with a smile. "Well, let's go to the finale in about two hours, let's go to our rehearsal room first!" Xiao Qi said to Song Hanlin, a few people nodded, and took Ye Zheng to a hut.

The room is not big, but there are a lot of facilities in it, such as drums and electronic organs. Xiao Qi made an inviting gesture to Ye Zheng: "Welcome to the Black Butterfly Band!" "The name of the band is good, did you choose it?"

"No, it's our Hanlin boss. This is also the most worthy of his name in his life!We all love this name!" Entering the room, Xiao Qi mentioned to the members of the band what they had just said in the hot and sour noodle shop, and several people suddenly looked more excited. With the songs created by Ye Zheng, you can see Ye Zheng's rock music creation ability, if Ye Zheng is willing to create them to become the first artists of the music company, of course, it is an exciting thing.

Several people were gearing up to behave well in front of Ye Zheng. "Let's have two songs that you are good at!" Ye Zheng said. A few people nodded and quickly took their places, and then the bass, drum kit and other instruments sounded, and Xiao Qi stood in the only open space in the room, the microphone standing in front of her on the stand. As the sound of the musical instrument sounded, Xiao Qi's hair flicked, his body swayed gently, and the rock breath suddenly swayed out.

"The roses of the desert cry at the feet of the camels, and the scorching sun burns the last cactus......" Xiao Qi sang, her body swaying slightly, her hands waving, and she was already in a state. Watching their performance, Ye Zheng kept nodding, very good, unexpectedly good. The performance level of the band members is quite good, and the cooperation is also very tacit. Apparently they often rehearse performances together and are familiar with each other.

Among them, the most amazing thing for Ye Zheng is Xiao Qi, this girl seems to be born with a rock and roll atmosphere, go to that station, start singing, and instantly enter the state. Looking at her posture and listening to her voice, Ye Zheng knew that he had met a female genius in rock music. The voice is not to say, passionate rock music, Xiao Qi's voice is high-pitched and loud, but it can easily show some soft tones. Moreover, the timbre sound quality is particularly good!

Now Xiao Qi is younger, only 17 years old, and her face can still be seen to be immature, such an age is matched with passionate rock music, wearing a leather jacket, leather pants and leather boots, swaying burgundy long hair, and waving bright red nails, which makes her have a little more mature and sexy charm.

But her age is there, she is not a mature woman, she dresses up as a mature woman like this, and her singing style tends to be masculine, and these various incongruities are combined here by Xiao Qi to form a special alluring charm. After singing a song, Ye Zheng waved his hand: "No need to sing the second song!" "Aren't we singing well?" Then you should listen to another song, in fact, we can sing very well!" Bassist Zhao Tong was really an anxious child, thinking that Ye Zheng was not satisfied with them. "What are you talking about!" Xiao Qi said to Zhao Tong: "It must be that we sing very well!"

"Yes, that's good. Ye Zheng nodded: "I don't have to hesitate, just listen to you sing this song, I can decide to sign you!" "Great! When will the contract be signed!" Zhao Tong asked. "I said can you stop talking!" Xiao Qi glared at him: "Ye Zheng's music company hasn't been created yet, how can you sign a contract?" Zhao Tong lowered his head embarrassedly. Several others threw him sympathetic smiles. So Ye Zheng found that Xiao Qi was the most powerful person in the whole band.

"It won't take too long, a few months, about half a year. Ye Zheng said: "Before this, you rehearse carefully and make some improvements to your skills." And then...... Well, so be it, I'll give you two songs, you practice first, and then I'll give you a few more songs. You can find a way to do some publicity on your own, which can be spread on the Internet and so on. After the company is established, we will carry out real packaging promotion to you.

Baina's two albums were sent to the jury, one of which was Lin Wanqing's "Dearest You". Baina's team is led by Zhang Deqiang, and Ye Zheng, as an important member of the creative team, has also met many people with Zhang Deqiang. At the same time, I also met Zhou Ke in the wheat field, as well as people from Shenlong Records, including Peacock Music and Blue Dream Records, which I have never met.

Some people learned that Ye Zheng came with Baina's team, and they came to find Ye Zheng on purpose. In three days, Ye Zheng has been staying with various music creators and producers, getting to know many people, and learning a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned in online books. At the same time, his creative ability also amazed everyone. When Ye Zheng chatted with them about songs, he could often say a piece of music casually, as if he was really a creative machine, and these things could be produced at will.

Genius, real genius, this is a consensus reached by all musicians! One day, he will surely become the top creator and producer in China! As a result, some music companies and top studios wanted to invite Ye Zheng to join, but all of them were rejected by Ye Zheng without exception. At the same time, Ye Zheng also conveyed a message. He wanted to start a music company. Hearing the news, everyone reacted differently, some people were amazed by Ye Zheng's courage and confidence, and some people felt that Ye Zheng had too much self-esteem. There are almost no people who are optimistic about him.

"I didn't expect you to do that, I guessed you might sell to multiple music companies, but I didn't expect you to start your own music company. Zhang Deqiang said: "Like many people, I just don't understand how you plan to do it. You must know that starting a music company is by no means a simple matter, including the creation and production of music, which requires professional people to do it. I don't know what the source of your confidence is?" Ye Zheng smiled: "Music production and promotion, I really don't know." This needs professional people to do, so I am also looking for my partner. If you'd like to join, I'd love to hear from you!

Zhang Deqiang was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Zheng's confident expression, and sighed after a while: "We already have a high opinion of you, but we can't imagine that we still underestimate you! Can you tell me how strong your creative ability is?" "If you are willing to start a music company with me, I can tell you." Ye Zheng smiled. "Forget it, I'm the director and producer of Baina, and I can't go to another one with you. ”

"Then I can only tell you that my creative ability is very strong!" Ye Zheng smiled confidently and flatly: "As for how strong it is, I believe you will understand it in the future." "We'll see. Zhang Deqiang smiled: "But we will be competitors in the future." Ye Zheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, but you can still buy songs from me in the future." ”

"Oh, don't you use your work for your own company?" "I guess you haven't understood what I'm saying, but I'm very creative, really. Ye Zheng said seriously. "He's a genius, but he's not a self-aware genius! Think he's going to start a music company after making a few albums? Okay, I'm not going to say much about it, but I'm waiting to see his jokes!" The person who said this was Qiu Feng, the founder of China's top music studio, Dafeng Music Studio.

He went to invite Ye Zheng to join the Gale Music Studio, and was rejected, but he didn't accept it as calmly as others. Qiu Feng himself is one of the few platinum producers of Chinese music. With many honors, his Gale Music Studio has also created and produced a lot of excellent albums after its establishment, and now in addition to him as a platinum producer, there are several gold medal producers in the studio, which can be described as a strong force, comparable to ordinary music companies! In the music industry, there is such a rule. There are two levels of producers, gold and platinum, and if you produce a platinum record that has sold 1 million dollars, you can be called a gold producer. If you produce a five-platinum record that sells five million, you can be called a platinum producer. Unlike the rating of the record, there is no title of diamond producer. Qiu Feng is a platinum producer, and the annual sales of a record he once produced reached 6.2 million! I thought that it would be no problem for him to personally invite Ye Zheng in such an identity, and he did offer a good price. However, Ye Zheng had no intention of joining any company or studio at all, so he naturally rejected him.

Qiu Feng was already a little cautious, and when he heard the rumors that Ye Zheng was going to start a music company, he expressed such an opinion. As soon as his words came out, many people were not optimistic about Ye Zheng. After all, Qiu Feng is a well-known producer in the national and even global music industry, and many people will not directly oppose his opinions, even if they don't agree with him. In contrast, although Ye Zheng has created several good albums and can definitely become a gold medal producer, it is still much worse than Qiu Feng's identity.

The difference between white gold and gold is huge. Some creators and producers can make dozens of platinum records in their lifetime, but it is difficult to make a five-platinum record. Different identities carry different weights in words. In addition, many people are not optimistic about Ye Zheng's establishment of a music company, and for a while, everyone didn't care about Ye Zheng's idea, and even scoffed at it. Young people, it's better to suffer a little, and after Ye Zheng fails to start a business and understands the truth, wouldn't it be better to recruit him? Some music companies even think so. Ye Zheng knew all these things, but he didn't care.

In the past few days, he has seen a lot of people, said a lot of things, and understood a lot of things, and finally had time to go out for a walk on the third night, just when Xiao Qi called him and asked him if he had time to go to a place called Shengyuan Square to watch some rock PK organized by rock bands, Ye Zheng agreed. Shengyuan Square is not far from the hotel where Ye Zheng stayed, and Ye Zheng walked all the way to really feel the warm atmosphere of the music festival. Walking down the street, you can see street performers playing and singing on the side of the road, young people dancing in the street, and bands singing and selling their albums...... The people on the street stopped to watch, and there were some places with a good atmosphere of joy, and if there was any outstanding performance, it was a burst of lively applause and cheers.

Ye Zheng came to Shengyuan Square and found that there was more than one simple stage built large and small, and there were artists performing on each stage. There was a stage where a lot of people were around, and there were loud drum kits and bass sounds, as well as passionate shouts. Ye Zheng walked over and saw all the members of the Black Butterfly Band who were watching and cheering on the side of the stage.

"Hey!" Ye Zheng walked over and patted Zhao Tong's shoulder, Zhao Tong turned his head and said in surprise: "Hey, Brother Ye, you're here!" Recently, except for Xiao Qi, the other four people's name for you Ye Zheng has become Ye Zheng, Ye Zheng's age is similar to them, or even slightly younger, if you call Mr. Ye or something, it really doesn't fit their character. It's just called Brother Ye. "How's that?" Ye Zheng asked.

"It's the semi-finals now, we're in the final. Just now we sang "I Have No Far Away" and won the semi-finals! Brother Ye, you didn't see it, the scene just now was very popular, a new rock song, and after you carefully choreographed by Brother Ye, it was sung by Xiao Qi, and it instantly killed a blockbuster!" Zhao Tong said happily: "We are going to sing "Do As You Like in the semi-finals", and we will definitely win the first place!" "Hmm......" Ye Zheng nodded, but focused on the stage. It's a group of five men, all between the ages of 25 and 30, singing a rock song in the style of heavy metal.

Xiao Qi stood beside Ye Zheng at some point, and unceremoniously grabbed Ye Zheng's arm, Ye Zheng tried to get rid of it but was hugged by Xiao Qi, she saw that Ye Zheng did not continue to try to break free, so she said with a smile: "This band is a heavy metal style band, which is not the same as our pop rock form." Now, the market for heavy metal rock is not as good as pop rock, it's like a state of death, few people like to listen to this kind of stuff that is too noisy, and even some people who do pop rock reject heavy metal. But people who really like heavy metal rock are still sticking to it, and only those who know heavy metal rock can understand the enthusiasm and emotion contained in the noise that others don't understand!"

"Their singing skills are good. Ye Zheng nodded and asked, "What's the name of this band?" "It seems to be called...... Tang Dynasty Band!" Xiao Qi hesitated and asked, "Zhao Tong, is it called Tang Dynasty Band?" "Ah, yes, Tang Dynasty Band! A heavy metal rock band has taken a literary name, and I don't think it sounds as good as our Black Butterfly." Zhao Tong said. "Oh...... Tang Dynasty band. Ye Zheng nodded slightly, but his heart was quite shocked. A heavy metal rock band called the Tang Dynasty band? What a coincidence...... Ye Zheng stopped talking, and watched the performance of the Tang Dynasty band seriously, he felt very good, these people must have been doing heavy metal rock for some years, listening to their screams on stage, you can also feel their affection for heavy metal rock, "Well, I'll talk to them later." Ye Zheng said. At this time, the Tang Dynasty band's singing had also ended, and then a sexy little girl stepped down to collect votes from the audience, and then announced that another band won by a big score after counting the votes.

Several members of the Tang Dynasty Band seemed to have expected this, and congratulated the other band with smiles on their faces, and then walked off the stage and walked to the side. "Here's our battle for the championship tonight! Our local rock band Hutong Band in Zhujiang will play against the Black Butterfly Band from Hengyang City! The Black Butterfly Band who paid special attention to it just sang an original song "I Don't Have Far Away", which is a great rock music, right? Next, they will sing a new original song! It's called "Do What You Want"! What kind of song is this that the Black Butterfly Band dares to use as a song to compete for the championship? Let's listen to it!"

Amidst the applause and cheers, Xiao Qi walked to the stage and waved to everyone with a smile. Just now, she was still holding Ye Zheng's arm intimately like an ordinary girl, but now as soon as she stood on the stage, a kind of singer's temperament suddenly came out! The accompaniment sounded, and Xiao Qi began to sing. The appeal of "Do What You Want" is really undoubted, and Xiao Qi's stage charm is also very strong, she is the only female lead singer of these rock bands. There are few rock bands, and even fewer rock bands with female lead singers! The beautiful and temperamental Xiao Qi sang and shook on stage, which immediately ignited the crowd.

Subsequently, not only in front of this stage, but also in other places, the audience was also attracted a lot, swaying their bodies together, feeling the unique charm of rock and roll! Xiao Qi indulged in singing, waving his two hands, interacting with the audience under the stage, the crowd resounded with cheers, mixed with some whistles, and the big movement here even made a nearby stage have to stop singing, and even the singer who was singing came over to listen to the song. This is the charm of rock and roll, maybe you don't feel bored listening to rock when you're alone, but in this case, many people will be infected by this emotion and can't help but join in.

Ye Zheng especially noticed that several people in the Tang Dynasty band were also listening carefully, and there was a look of envy on their faces. That's right, envy, very clear emotions. "It's really a good pop-rock piece, even compared to the classics of the '90s. I don't know who wrote the song, whether it was written by their band themselves, or if they hired someone else to write it or bought it. The lead singer of the Tang Dynasty band, Cui Nian, sighed: "It would be great if we could also make such high-quality heavy metal rock music!" "No way, who made us not creative?" keyboardist Sun Zhe also sighed and shook his head.

"Do you need heavy metal rock originals?" a voice rang out from behind them. The five of them looked back in unison and saw a young man with a delicate face looking at them and smiling. "What do you mean?" Cui Nian frowned and asked. "I think I can provide you guys with original songs. Ye Zheng smiled: "Of course, I have to see your singing level again." "You are ......" Cui Nian couldn't figure out the identity of the young man, and he didn't know the meaning of what he said just now. "My name is Ye Zheng. Ye Zheng smiled and stretched out his right hand: "The author of "Do What You Want"!"

"You wrote this song?" Cui Nian said in surprise, stretching out his hand and shaking it with Ye Zheng. "I think the name Ye Zheng is a little familiar!" Sun Zhe scratched his head with some doubts, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be ...... It seems that the songwriter of the "Blooming Life" album is Ye Zheng, and we talked about it a few days ago. ”

"How is it possible!" Cui Nian smiled: "That's a great creator!" "How is it impossible?" Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's me." "Really?" Cui Nian's eyes widened. "It's like a fake. Ye Zheng found that he really seemed to have some fame in the rock circle, and just one "Blooming Life" made many rock musicians pay attention to him. The Tang Dynasty band is also a local band in Zhujiang, so Cui Nian invited Ye Zheng to their usual rehearsal place. Ye Zheng asked Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi said that they would have to play here for a while, so they wouldn't follow to join in the fun.

"You must take them down!" Xiao Qi clenched his fists and cheered for Ye Zheng. Ye Zheng smiled, said goodbye to Xiao Qi and them, and then took a taxi to the rehearsal room of the Tang Dynasty band. After listening to a few songs sung by the Tang Dynasty band, Ye Zheng is still very satisfied with their singing ability, this is a band that has been concentrating on metal rock music for five years, and the singing ability is okay, but the five people have no creative cells, they can only sing other people's songs, and they can only be resident singers in local bars or song halls in Zhujiang.

Satisfied with them, Ye Zheng simply stated his plans and invited them to join his music company. This was definitely an unexpected surprise for the Tang Dynasty band, although it was still just an unestablished music company, but Ye Zheng's mature self-confidence that did not match his age made them trust Ye Zheng.
