Chapter 45: A blockbuster
"If I can do it all over again, I will choose Li Bai
At least I can write poems to tease girls
If I can do it all over again, I will choose Li Bai
Creation can also be so high-end and admired by so many people
If only I could do it all over again......"
Li Mu made a certain adaptation to the arrangement of this song, not after the last sentence "If you can do it again", and then add an epilogue, but after this sentence is sung, all instruments stop at the same time, and then the song ends.
This unexpected arrangement made everyone who was immersed in it not expect, and suddenly found that it ended so simply, and they all felt unfinished, but they still applauded involuntarily, and the screams of those girls had filled the entire gymnasium.
The judges were also excited, especially the deputy director of music of a record company from Yanjing.
Zhang Kexuan was so excited that he took his three friends and bowed to the audience together, but he didn't expect the girls to scream again and again.
The host took the stage and asked the judges to score, but I didn't expect five people to give four 9 points, one 8 points, and the total score of the simple plan was 27 points, which is currently the highest in the audience.
The judges' comments also praised the melody line and arrangement of this song, and the deputy music director from Yanjing did not hesitate to praise: "Your song is very good, the melody is not only good but also very memorable, I believe this song will be widely sung in the future, to be honest, before I came to Jinling, I didn't expect to be able to hear such a good original song, the lead singer's voice is also very good, and the external conditions are also very good, if you have other excellent original songs, I think I will definitely be the first to consider signing you!"
Zhang Kexuan and the others were excited, thanked the judges, bowed to the audience again, and turned around to step down the stage.
Everyone around them was talking about the performance of the simple plan just now, and this kind of spike-level debut was also quite shocking to them.
Judging from the attitude of the judges and the audience, it is certain that the performance of Simple Plan this time was a blockbuster.
Chen Wan leaned forward at the moment, holding her chin and looking at Li Mu sideways, like a nymphomaniac: "You are amazing!"
Li Mu blinked: "It's normal, let's go, don't suffer here." ”
The four people of the simple plan were excited, and they came out after packing up their instruments, and when they saw Li Mu, the four of them suddenly lined up, Zhang Kexuan took the lead, walked up to Li Mu and showed both hands holding Li Mu's right hand, followed by a deep bow deeper than ninety degrees.
"Brother Mu, thank you!"
Then there was Ye Tianming......
"Brother Mu, thank you!"
Then comes the summer ......
"Brother Mu, thank you!"
Then there was Gu Wei......
Li Mu felt like a godfather, accepting the worship of four believers.
After worshipping, Zhang Kexuan blushed and said, "Brother Mu, you can see the next song......
"I knew you couldn't be industrious. Li Mu asked: "In the next game, you will go directly to the provincial championship?"
"That's right. Zhang Kexuan nodded: "The band with the highest score in the next semi-final will go to Yanjing." ”
"What about after arriving in Yanjing?"
"It should be that there will be two rounds of competition in Yanjing, five bands will be selected after the first round, and the champion, runner-up and third runner-up will be selected in the second round. ”
Li Mu said: "In other words, I still have to prepare three songs for you?"
Zhang Kexuan was a little embarrassed: "You send the Buddha to the west, don't we still have that music website, besides, how much should three songs cost, our brothers must have a lot of yours." ”
Li Mu waved his hand: "I'll talk about the money later, let's go to your rehearsal room first, and I'll give you the second song." ”
"Brother Mu is interesting enough, I didn't say it!"
……
Li Mu's second song for the simple plan is "Sunflower" released by Xie Tianxiao in 05.
Xie Tianxiao was regarded as the godfather of rock music and the king of rock and roll in the rock circle of later generations, but most of his songs are relatively noisy, which is not suitable for Li Mu's positioning for a simple plan.
The overall genre of the simple plan must be pop-oriented, and music that is too alternative and too rock cannot be sung by them.
However, this "Sunflower" can be described as a rare positive energy song of Xie Tianxiao, the lyrics are very healthy and upward, and the melody is very good, the arrangement is also very convergent, good, touching and not noisy, it is a rare positive energy song in domestic rock music.
When the lyrics were written, Chen Wan was the first to praise: "The lyrics of this song are awesome, a sunflower seed struggling to germinate in the dark soil, concise and to the point, this kind of lyrics, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is modern poetry." ”
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Is it so good, you are so unsparing in praise." ”
"Yes. Chen Wan nodded and said seriously: "The current lyrics, pop songs are all about love, and rock songs are cynical, but this "Sunflower" is definitely a positive and good work. ”
Zhang Kexuan and others were also amazed, especially Ye Tianming: "I think the lyrics of this song are better than "Li Bai", and they have deep meaning. ”
"You still know what it means to be profound. Zhang Kexuan pursed his lips, and then said: "But it is indeed very meaningful, I think it is very good." ”
Li Mudao: "This kind of lyrics has a wide range of uses, it can be used to inspire young people, it can also be used to give hope and encouragement to people who are suffering, and even anti-war and anti-terrorism can be matched. ”
"Where's the song?" Zhang Kexuan couldn't wait: "Brother Mu hurry up and sing it to us, let's enjoy it first." ”
"Done. Li Mu picked up Zhang Kexuan's guitar and said to Ye Tianming and Gu Wei: "I'll play and sing the first paragraph later, and you can follow up in the second paragraph." ”
For the most basic accompaniment, the drummer only needs to play a rhythm, and the bass only needs to find the root of the chord, which is not difficult for them.
Immediately, Li Mu sang "Sunflower" for the first time in the rehearsal room of the simple plan.
"The beautiful sky is always as far as the eye can see
There is a seed buried under the cloud
The nutrients come from this sludge
Rooting and still obeying the will of God......
Countless raindrops sprinkled the earth in front of me
There's only one problem standing here
Sunflowers, if you only grow in the dark
Sunflowers, will you bloom (will you be afraid)"
Li Mu's voice is better than Zhang Kexuan's, so he sings very sensitively, when the rock uncle who laughs and runs four times sings this song, his voice is not pleasing to pop listeners, so Li Mu deliberately makes the singing more pop, so that the feeling is more acceptable to the public.
Zhang Kexuan's heart was full of joy when he heard it, with this song, he was very sure that he would directly participate in the finals held in Yanjing as the provincial champion!
Li Mujiao sang it several times, and after Zhang Kexuan remembered it, he explained the arrangement of the song to the band staff, and after all the teachings, Li Mucai asked, "When is the next game?"
and so on. Zhang Kexuan said: "More than 50 bands in the preliminary round are also competing for several days, and then according to the scores, the bands that enter the next round will be notified of the specific competition time." ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "A full score of 30 points, you have scored 27, and you can definitely enter the next round." ”
"That's it. Zhang Kexuan looked excited: "The clips of the qualifiers in various provinces across the country will be broadcast on David TV next Saturday, I don't know if our "Li Bai" will be broadcast." ”
"Definitely. Li Mu patted his chest: "The TV station also hopes to have the highlights to capture the audience, and a simple plan is perfect for both people and songs." ”
Saying that, Li Mu said again: "When the performance photos taken today come out, remember to send them to me, and I will decide which portal to send public relations posts." ”
"Done!"
"Public relations stickers and water army campaigns all cost money, I'm a poor bastard, and you'll have to pay for it then. ”
"Is this a thing? Is 100,000 enough? Not enough to add more. ”
Li Mu nodded: "Just 100,000, it's enough for the time being." ”
How to use the 100,000 yuan, Li Mu already has a plan, first of all, he wants to get two servers, one for Eting, and one for creating a forum.
Now there is no QQ group such a sharp weapon for group chat, if Zhao Kang builds a water army team, lacks a platform to manage members and give orders, the water army is often hundreds of thousands of people, if you can't effectively convey orders, the efficiency will naturally be greatly affected, simply build an internal forum, it doesn't cost much, but it is enough to support a water army team of thousands or even more people, it can be described as a lifetime benefit.
The two servers, plus the cost of hosting and bandwidth, are tens of thousands of yuan, and Zhao Kang will be given another 50,000 yuan, so that he can use it as the initial fund for the preparation of the water army, and he can also take this opportunity to examine Zhao Kang's overall management ability.
