Chapter Forty-Four: The Simple Plan Debuts

In the barbershop, Zhang Kexuan looked at himself in the mirror, his face full of disbelief.

The hairstylist was also a little dumbfounded, although this awesome hairstyle was made by his own hands, he still felt incredible.

Li Mu stood aside with his arms crossed and asked Chen Wan, "Sister Wan, what do you think?"

"Li Mu, you are amazing......" Chen Wan didn't know what to say, because Zhang Kexuan in the mirror seemed to be a different person, better looking than before, more energetic than before, and cleaner than before, in short, it was a fly-like improvement.

Li Mu nodded, and sighed in his heart, he originally just wanted to get him a straight, shiny hairstyle like William Chan, but he didn't expect this guy to be really handsome after finishing it like this.

This is the charm of the times, a hairstyle more than ten years later, it is enough to make so many people stunned today.

Ye Tianming, who was originally watching the excitement, suddenly sat down on the seat next to Zhang Kexuan, pointed to his head and said, "Excuse me, cut it exactly the same for me." ”

"Don't. Li Mu hurriedly said: "Before a band succeeds, it must only highlight one core, and if it is all prominent, it is equivalent to having no outstanding points." ”

The performance group is not like the popular song and dance groups in South Korea later, Chinese people always pay attention to the lead singer and ignore other people, so the value of many band lead singers is higher than that of other members combined, such as Ashin of the Xin Orchestra, Ashin of Mayday, Wu Qingfeng of Soda Green, and Zhang Wei of the Flower Band......

There are too many similar examples, which are determined by the nature of the audience, and Li Mu can't influence it.

Zhang Kexuan is also extremely satisfied with his new look, and now looking at himself in the mirror, he is basically at the level of a first-class handsome guy.

It was very beautiful in his heart, but Zhang Kexuan still sighed: "Hey, I won't be able to shake my head when I play rock and roll in the future." ”

Li Mu said disdainfully: "You remember, the style after a simple plan, to put it bluntly, is pop music, only in this way can you become popular, of course, you can't throw away rock 'n' roll, you have to talk about rock every day, and engage in pop music under the banner of rock 'n' roll." ”

"Isn't this selling dog meat on the head of a sheep?"

"If you want to be popular, don't talk so much nonsense, okay?"

Zhang Kexuan sneered and looked at the time: "It's only half past six now, the name has been changed smoothly, the tone has been adjusted, and now my big long hair has been cut, let's go eat something." ”

Li Mu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhang Kexuan: "Do you know the photographer?"

"Taking pictures?"

"Yes, but the equipment and level are relatively high. ”

Ye Tianming hurriedly said: "I know one, who opened a photo studio, and studied photography in Yanjing back then. ”

“OK。 Li Mu hurriedly said: "Come over to him, and let him take a close-up photo of you after you take the stage in the evening." ”

A few people were stunned: "We're just participating in pizza, so why don't we hire a photographer ourselves?"

"As for. Li Mu glanced at Zhang Kexuan, if the photographer used the shutter and software to make this guy more handsome, spend some money to do a public relations news in the current online media, and put a small advertisement before the TV production and broadcast, it should be that many girls and children will pay attention to it, right?

Ye Tianming didn't know what Li Mu's mentality was, but he still took out his mobile phone and made a call.

The other party also seemed to be very face-saving, and as soon as he heard that Ye Tianming was going to participate in the competition, he immediately said that he would personally bring the best equipment over at that time.

Li Mu finally put his mind at ease, now the video website has not started, simply plan these four people, if you want to be famous in the early stage, you can only rely on TV media, but Li Mu believes in "Li Bai", believes in Zhang Kexuan's image and singing skills, this time, it will definitely be a blockbuster.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the ice power pioneer national band competition Nansu Province preliminaries officially kicked off, the students of Jinling University were very interested in this game, at half past seven, the gymnasium was already full, at the back of the entire gymnasium, there were many people standing and watching, it is estimated that there are two or three thousand people.

Li Mu and Chen Wan were lucky enough to grab a relatively high position, and as for the four guys with the simple plan, they are now nervously preparing in the background.

At eight o'clock, she announced the official start of the national band competition on time, and introduced the five judges, except for a person from a record company in Yanjing, the other four are professors of Jinling Art Institute.

Li Mu doesn't have much hope for this kind of competition, whether it is a domestic underground band or a college student band, there is no shortage of lead singers with good voices, but in the band, there are many lacking, there are no balanced musicians, no equipment with enough grades, no excellent original songs, etc.

After the competition began, it was indeed as Li Mu expected, most of the bands were very bad, each band had various deficiencies, and occasionally one or two were barely passable, but if they really wanted to become famous, the level was still far behind.

The judges are also very unified in scoring, the ten point system, the five judges remove the highest and lowest, and the remaining score is the total score, that is, the full score should be thirty points, but after singing seven bands in a row, the highest score is only 19 points, which is really miserable.

By the time of the eighth band, nearly two hours had passed, and most of the band's performances were boring, and the college students in the audience basically didn't even have the enthusiasm to applaud, Li Mu listened to a girl next to her complain to her companion: "If it weren't for the Peony Pavilion Band in our school, I would have wanted to leave a long time ago." ”

The other girl nodded: "Yes, what is the singing, it's hard to hear." ”

The eighth band also finished singing, and the applause was so pitiful that the lead singer even burst into tears when he bowed for the curtain call.

The host took the stage again: "Okay, please ask our judges and teachers to score the anoxic band that just performed." ”

Moments later, the judges put up their scoreboards.

"Okay, remove a maximum score of 5 points, remove a minimum score of 2 points, and the final score of the Hypoxic Band is: 11 points!"

The judges' evaluations were also unanimous: "The original songs are not outstanding, and the lead singer's voice is not good enough." ”

Next, I would like to invite the ninth participating band tonight: the Simple Plan Band, whose original song is "Li Bai". ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" Chen Wan was excited like a child, pulling Li Mu's T-shirt with both hands.

At this time, the other three members of the band came to the stage with their instruments.

Li Mu arranged a standing position for them, dividing the stage into three parts horizontally, with the drum kit in the center of the last part of the stage, the bassist and another guitarist on both sides of the middle part of the stage, and the remaining position in the center of the front row of the stage was reserved for Zhang Kexuan.

The three of them were already in place, the guitarist and the bass player had also plugged in the instruments, and at this time, Zhang Kexuan put the electric guitar behind his back, walked out of the backstage with a pretending step.

It's called eye-catching.

If four people come out together, the audience will watch all four of them first, and then say, wow, look, that guy over there is so handsome.

But first let the three people who are the foil in place and in a static state, and then let Zhang Kexuan come out, and the audience will directly say: "Wow, this guy is so handsome."

Really!

The girls around him were all shocked by Zhang Kexuan, many girls screamed involuntarily, and the screams came and went, and they didn't stop for a long time.

Zhang Kexuan stood in front of the microphone and said in a deep tone: "Hello everyone, we are a simple plan band. ”

Originally, Zhang Kexuan was quite nervous, but after listening to eight garbage songs in the background, he was basically not nervous, because he was full of confidence in the song "Li Bai", and now as soon as he came on stage, so many girls screamed for themselves, which made him full of confidence.

This is the easiest way to report the curtain is also Li Mu's idea, many words have been said by the host for them, at this time, as soon as he comes on stage, he will try to minimize nonsense and get straight to the point.

Sure enough, Zhang Kexuan turned around and gave the other three members of the band a look, and then, Ye Tianming struck the drumstick four times and started a rhythm, and then the song "Li Bai" was announced to the public in front of the camera for the first time.

It's just that the brisk and casual prelude of "Li Bai" has already made people's eyes shine, and when Zhang Kexuan opened his mouth to sing the first sentence, not only the audience let out a burst of screams and cheers, but even the sluggish judges cheered up.

Li Mu once asked Zhang Kexuan to grasp his feelings and feelings when singing, he needed Zhang Kexuan to express that kind of light-hearted and cynical attitude in his voice and emotions, I have to say that today's Zhang Kexuan played very well.

When Zhang Kexuan was singing, Li Mu looked back and found that almost everyone was beating the rhythm, which was enough to prove that this song was very successful in the atmosphere of the scene.

Seeing the admiring eyes of those female college students, Li Mu became more confident in the popularity of the simple plan in the future.
