Chapter 445: D-Fly's New Upgrade
Standing on the pedestrian street of Xinjiekou, Liu Jingxin looked at the faΓ§ade that was being demolished opposite, and had mixed feelings in his heart. Fang Zhichao stood next to him and smoked a cigarette with a smug face: "Speaking of which, my side has been able to develop to this point, and I have to thank the five of you." β
"Singing Loudly" can be regarded as a phenomenal music talent show last year, and many new forces who are now active in the Chinese music scene have come out of this show.
And among all these contestants, the biggest winner is undoubtedly the band Friday. Not only did they realize their dreams as champions, but they also hosted "Rock Night", a popular variety show, which brought a new spring to the Chinese rock circle.
In the Chinese rock circle, there has always been a popular word called "breaking the circle".
The term used to have a certain derogatory connotation, referring to those pop singers who jumped out of the rock circle and entered the ranks of flattering the masses in the name of rock.
But with the change of times, the derogatory connotation of the word "breaking the circle" has become less and less, and now using this word to refer to a band is to show that the band has jumped out of the layers of constraints and led the new rock music to a bigger stage, even a very formal stage like a big gala.
Under the successful leadership of Friday, more and more bands have broken out of the circle, broken out of the cocoon into butterflies, and re-entered the public eye with a new attitude, so that the Chinese rock circle ushered in a new era, a prosperous era known as the platinum age of rock and roll, in which the bands that came out of the first season of "Rock Night" were the main combat strength.
Rock music across the country has ushered in a great boom, so that more and more people are willing to put down their mobile phones and tablets, and are willing to get out of their dull homes, carrying guitars, keyboards, and drums, and using music to record their mood and ideals.
As a result, the guitar teaching industry has also ushered in a new spring.
Fang Zhichao originally mainly sold musical instruments, supplemented by guitar teaching, although teaching musical instruments to make money, but the number of students is limited, and the guitar is more practical than learning, his students will learn for two or three years at the longest, less than even half a year, and those tuition fees cannot support his daily expenses at all.
But now it's different, after more than half a year of rocket-like development, D-Fly has three large classes and several small classes, and the number of students has exceeded 100. In addition, the space of the original D-Fly music store was too limited, and the students' study time was mainly concentrated in the evenings and weekends every day, which was simply not enough.
Fang Zhichao, whose wallet has been bulging, took advantage of the trend to expand the scale, merged the drum shop on the left, and the tea house with a dismal business on the right, upgraded the brand of D-Fly piano store, and is about to develop into a D-Fly art training center.
Liu Jingxin looked at the shops on the left and right sides of D-Fly that were being demolished, and said with a faint smile: "I can't thank me, I should thank you." If you hadn't helped us in the first place, I guess it would have been difficult for Friday to regroup, let alone get to where we are today. β
The two were chatting, and suddenly a few little girls ran over nervously, all of them were so excited that their faces were red, in addition to expressing their love for Liu Jingxin and Friday, they also asked Liu Jingxin to sign autographs and take a group photo with them.
Liu Jingxin is naturally very happy to meet such a request as long as the conditions allow. He is well aware that how they could be where they are today without these fans who support them?
From a business point of view, these fans are Friday's loyal customers, high-quality Party A, and Liu Jingxin's food and clothing parents, why do they put on a stinky face and pretend to be arrogant?
To put it mildly, people like you, you are a star, they don't like you, you are nothing!
Liu Jingxin signed the little girls, took a group photo, and was dragged to chat for a while, if it wasn't for Fang Zhichao pulling him into the piano shop, it is estimated that it would not be long before more and more people watched Liu Jingxin.
Because the stores on the left and right sides are being renovated and upgraded, the sound is too noisy, so there is no training arranged for the time being, and there are almost no customers.
Fang Zhichao asked Liu Jingxin to sit for a while, and then got up and found an employee who supervised the work, and asked him to buy a cup of milk tea for those decoration masters, and let those decoration masters rest first.
So it didn't take long for the sound of decoration on both sides to stop, and the piano shop was finally able to quiet down.
Fang Zhichao frowned slightly and looked at Liu Jingxin, who was a little distracted in front of him, raised his right hand and knocked on the table with his index finger.
Hearing the sound of knocking on the table, Liu Jingxin came back to his senses, looked up at Fang Zhichao and smiled slightly apologetically, that smile looked a little stiff and not natural at all.
"Respectfully, I don't mean anything else by this. We have been brothers for so many years, so we won't beat around the bush. If you don't have something to do, you rarely come to my side. If you have anything to do with me this time, you can just tell me. β
"I, I'm fine, I just want to come and sit. β
"Is it really just sitting?" Fang Zhichao tilted his head slightly, his eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Jingxin, as if he wanted to see Liu Jingxin's heart clearly, but found that he couldn't see through it at all.
"Of course. Liu Jingxin nodded, his tone affirmative.
Fang Zhichao stared at Liu Jingxin for another moment, shook his head and said, "No, you must have something." What the hell is going on? It can't be that you and Zhang Xun have another conflict, and the band is going to disband again, right?"
Although it is not possible to talk about reading countless people, Fang Zhichao believes that with his understanding of Liu Jingxin, he can be sure that Liu Jingxin must have encountered something bad, otherwise how could it be in this state of frequent distraction, how could it be that he sighed quietly from time to time?
Liu Jingxin waved his hand and said, "How is it possible? I finally came to this point, and everyone cherishes it." We know very well how much each of us has suffered for this, so we are very tolerant of each other now, not to mention quarrels, not even the number of disagreements. β
Fang Zhichao's brows furrowed even tighter: "Then why are you in such a state? What's wrong with you? Why did you, a person with such a straight temperament, start to hide your thoughts in a twist?"
Liu Jingxin smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe when you're old, it's very easy to be nostalgic." Some people and some things suddenly come to mind, and I don't know why, I feel sad. β
Fang Zhichao heard the meaning of Liu Jingxin's words, so he asked further: "If it weren't for Zhang Xun, would it be difficult...... You broke up with your child?"
