Li Mu, who did not have a driver's license, drove the car all the way to the outskirts of Jinling City, the time was already 11:40 at noon, although he also encountered some traffic police along the way, but none of the traffic police tried to stop the A6 for inspection, which was a lot more convenient.

Before entering the city, Li Mu exchanged with Chen Wan again, he didn't know where Chen Wan was going, and Chen Wan couldn't say it herself, so he just let her drive it herself.

Chen Wan first took out her mobile phone and made a call, telling the other party that she had arrived in Jinling, but she needed to eat first and then go to the other party, so she agreed on a time to meet somewhere at half past one in the afternoon.

When Chen Wan hung up the phone, Li Mu asked very curiously: "Sister Wan, what are you doing in Jinling?" ”

"Me. Chen Wan grinned and winked mysteriously: "Secret!"

"Okay. Li Mu felt bored, so he didn't ask any more.

Chen Wan was more familiar with the provincial capital, and slowly drove to the city, first found a restaurant, had a meal with Li Mu, and then drove Li Mu to a commercial area not far from the hotel.

Li Mu studied at the university in Jinling in her last life, and she knew that the business district she went to was very special.

This was originally a failed commercial street development project in Jinling, and it was not possible to engage in a pedestrian street, and then many idle façade houses were occupied by some people engaged in art, engaged in art, sculpture, photography and music, and even later there were several teams specializing in making original videos to develop here, some like the taste of Yanjing 798 later, but in terms of scale and maturity, it is far worse than 798, not to mention that it is only a prototype now, at most it can only be regarded as a place where Jinling's local small culture and youth are forced.

There are a few music bars along the street, and a few more artistic cafes, a few piano shops, a few art galleries, and dance training classrooms.

At first, it was a place where college students, a small number of international students, and foreign teachers liked to come, but it gradually became a gathering place for young people in literature and art.

Li Mu didn't know what Chen Wan was doing here, he helped Chen Wan reverse the car into the parking space, and Chen Wan walked in with him.

All the way to the deepest part of this commercial street, Li Mu was taken by her to a place called "Jinling Noise Control".

"Noise?" Li Mu stared at the graffiti-style signboard and asked in surprise, "Is it making noise?"

"Uh-huh. Chen Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said, "My cousin did it, the band rehearsal room and recording studio." ”

Li Mu pursed his lips, could it be that Chen Wan is also good for this? Wouldn't it be to come all the way to watch the local underground band rehearse?

What was the level of the local underground band in 2001, as Li Mu, who went to Jinling University in the second half of 2001, he really understood.

Now most of the local bands, basically even "I really love you" can't play well, and the band all use domestic fifth-rate instruments, only the lead guitarist can have a piece of Japanese ZOOM 505 effect, the speaker used is also bad, the timbre is made like shit, metal rock sounds full of plastic smell, if the bassist plays a note with a little effort, feedback to the speaker, it is like an elephant farting.

But since she came, Li Mu didn't think much about it, anyway, she was with Chen Wan, and she could toss as much as she liked.

Stepping into Jinling's noise control, Li Mu began to realize that there was something interesting.

Although this place is very hidden, after entering, Li Mu found that this is a very high-end band rehearsal room.

Li Mu also played in an amateur band when he was in college, and he could only afford a fifth-rate garbage electric guitar after half a year of part-time work, and he went to the Internet all day long to see pictures of imported foreign musical instruments.

A four-piece rock band was holding instruments in the rehearsal room at this time, as if in rehearsal.

Li Mu could see at a glance that one of the long-haired guitarists was holding a sunset-colored GIBSON, which was the same as the Slash of the Gun Flower Band, and the yuan was 70,000 or 80,000.

The equipment of another guitarist and bassist is also very good, basically world-class first-line brands, and the drummer is even more livestock, not counting the top set of Japanese TAMA drums, just a set of various cymbals, not tens of thousands of dollars can't get down.

Li Mu was stunned, these are all local tyrants!

The kid with sunset-colored GIBSON and big long hair looked like he was twenty-four or five, and when he saw Chen Wan coming in, he whistled and said with a smile: "Xiaowan, didn't you let you come at half a o'clock, this is just a little." ”

"Come and see your rehearsals. Chen Wan smiled: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your hair has grown again." ”

The long-haired young man laughed, looked at Li Mu and asked, "This is the little brother you said?"

"That's right. Chen Wan hurriedly pulled Li Mu and introduced to everyone: "Brothers, this is my younger brother, Li Mu. ”

Li Mu was confused, why did he still involve himself?

Before he knew what was going on, the long-haired young man stretched out his hand to Li Mu and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Kexuan, I am Chen Wan's cousin, listen to Chen Wan, you can write songs, and you have written a very nice work?"

Li Mu's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned to stare at Chen Wan with a dog's expression......

Chen Wan was a little embarrassed by Li Mu, and hurriedly said with a weak heart: "That's like this Li Mu, the zebra zebra you sang last time, I think it's very good, and then I especially hope that you can record this song, so I contacted my cousin, the rehearsal room in front of him is the recording studio, and the back is the recording studio, I didn't make it clear to you before I came, don't be angry with me, okay?"

Zhang Kexuan also nodded and said: "Li Mu, right, let me tell you, the equipment I have here is expensive, I dare not say that the recording effect is comparable to those well-known recording studios in the United States, but in the domestic private recording studios, it can be regarded as one of the best, I will help you record a demo later, if you are interested, you can send it to the record company to give it a try." ”

"Forget it. Li Mu waved his hand: "I'm just an amateur music lover and don't want to make any records." ”

"Hey!" Zhang Kexuan said indifferently: "It's not a big deal, I don't want to release a record, it's good to record a demo as a souvenir!"

"That's right!" Chen Wan said pleadingly: "The main thing is that I think your song "Zebra Zebra" is so good, you can record it, keep a souvenir for yourself, and you can also copy it to MP3 for me, isn't it good that I can listen to it normally?"

Li Mu sighed, MP3 is so expensive these days, it's not cheaper than a mobile phone, and he really served this Bai Fumei sister, and he moved everyone in order to record a song.

And this Zhang Kexuan and his three teammates, Nima, the sound insulation, lighting, high-end split speakers, and mixers in the entire rehearsal room, these equipment, plus their musical instruments, are estimated to be millions!

If the standard of the recording studio in the back is really higher, it will be even more scoreless, a vocal microphone is too normal to have hundreds of thousands, and a pair of monitors is too normal, not counting those recording equipment, my God, millions of them are taken out to do rock? crazy?

In this era, why don't you make a fortune in China with this money... Is the life of the rich second generation so pompous...

However, Li Mu thought about it, it is also a good thing for the rich second generation to have money to engage in rock and roll, which is much better than buying a sports car for millions and going out to harm ordinary people.

Li Mu can't say anything, it's all here, since Chen Wan really wants to listen to "Zebra Zebra", then it's okay to record it herself, anyway, don't spend your own money, when you go to college in the future, when others brag to yourself about what awards you have won before, you can still brag to others, buddy graduated from high school and came out with a Demo, brother is also a person with a single.

At this time, Zhang Kexuan saw that Li Mu's expression had eased a lot, so he said: "You guys sit down first, we will rehearse twice now, we have signed up for the Bingli Pioneer National Band Competition, and the preliminary competition will be held in a few days, and we are in intensive rehearsal." ”

Li Mu nodded, sat down with Chen Wan, Zhang Kexuan communicated with a few buddies in the band, and said, "Come, let's go through the repertoire." ”

Li Mu pondered in his heart, he didn't seem to have any impression of Zhang Kexuan's character in his previous life, it stands to reason that with such awesome equipment, even if such a band is not strong, it will be very famous in Jinling, why haven't you heard of it?

Just thinking about it, the band was already on the band.

"You are my angel, my ANGEL, bringing me luck and endless happiness......"

Isn't this the famous song of the Dada band? Li Mu spit out a mouthful of black blood, Dada released an album in January this year, these buddies are so awesome in equipment, they even play Copy, don't you know that the band playing original is the king?

However, although they are not original, their performance skills are still passable, and the lead singer is Zhang Kexuan, his voice is not bad, but Li Mu feels that his voice is not suitable for this pop-punk-style song.

Li Mu and Chen Wan listened to them rehearse three songs in a row, in addition to the Dada band, there was also Beyond "Earth" and Black Panther's "Don't Come to Pester Me".

After singing the three songs, Zhang Kexuan was tired like a grandson, especially the last song of the black panther, he couldn't sing it in a lower tone, very reluctantly.

"Li Mu, you have written songs yourself, you must have a bit of a foundation, give my brother a few evaluations?" Zhang Kexuan looked at Li Mu expectantly.

Anyway, I must have learned a little bit to be able to play the guitar and write songs this year, although the songs written by most enthusiasts are a bit miserable in Zhang Kexuan's opinion.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Pop punk, pop rock, hard rock, the style is too messy, and besides, you can only imitate, completely copy the original version, and there is no adaptation of your own at all." ”

"The most important thing is that your voice is not suitable for these three styles, but you didn't try to sing in your own style, you spent so much money on a band, shouldn't you even find a style that suits you?"

"Day!" Zhang Kexuan and the other members of the band were stunned, this kid hit the nail on the head......
