Chapter 93: A Different Way
During the banquet, the two sides communicated very harmoniously, to be precise, the communication between Liu Jingxin and Chen Kangyin was very harmonious, Du Xiaoyun did not speak, and Zhang Xun could not interject.
Chen Kangyin saw the band perform in the live broadcast room, and just heard the original from Liu Jingxin, plus he learned that Liu Jingxin is now very self-disciplined in order to protect his throat, so he fully affirmed Liu Jingxin's business ability.
During this period, Liu Jingxin continued to introduce other people in his band, even exaggerating the advantages of others.
I don't know what's going on, Chen Kangyin was very perfunctory when he heard Liu Jingxin talking about other people in the band, and only seemed serious enough when he communicated with Liu Jingxin about professional issues.
Zhang Xun was originally a person who talked a lot, but he couldn't interject the whole time, and the other party didn't say anything to him, which made him feel particularly embarrassed. But it doesn't matter, the band is a whole, and it is okay for Liu Jingxin to negotiate everything with the other party on behalf of the band.
After the meal, Chen Kangyin asked, "By the way, I don't know if it's convenient to go to your rehearsal room to have a look?" I'm curious if your usual rehearsal status is the same as what you see in the live broadcast room. ”
Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "Yes!
Chen Kangyin glanced at the time on his wrist and asked with a smile, "I don't know if it's convenient now?"
Liu Jingxin glanced at Zhang Xun, then nodded: "No problem." ”
Zhang Xun understood what Liu Jingxin meant, he walked to the side, took out his mobile phone and sent a message in the band's group, roughly talking about the progress of communication here, and notified Jiang Li and others to wait in the rehearsal room.
Liu Jingxin originally thought that he would come to invite this meal, although it would cost a lot of money, but it was very important to leave a good initial impression on others. Anyway, from the information currently available, it can be seen that the other party should not be a liar. Even if it's a liar, it's just the money for a meal, and you can afford to lose.
However, when Liu Jingxin went to settle the bill, he was told by the front desk that Du Xiaoyun had settled the account in advance, which increased Liu Jingxin's trust in Chen Kangyin a few points.
Leaving the Rhine café, the four of them walked and chatted all the way, crossed the road, came to a large shopping mall opposite, and took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
Chen Kangyin and they drove an Audi A6L, driven by Du Xiaoyun, Zhang Xun was assigned to the co-pilot, and Chen Kangyin pulled Liu Jingxin to sit in the back seat, continuing to talk and laugh.
Although they had only met for the first time, they had a lot to talk about.
In addition to the current situation of rock music in China and the life of the rock circle, they also talked about some views on the current entertainment industry and live broadcast circle, discussed several ways for artists to debut in the future, and discussed many issues such as whether public opinion is important or works are important.
Liu Jingxin has to admit that this Chen Kangyin is really thoughtful, and he knows the entertainment industry very well, at least far better than him.
Chen Kangyin mentioned a phenomenon that the debut of music anchors has become the norm.
Nowadays, whether it is a record company, an entertainment company, or even a TV station or video website, they exist for only one purpose, and that is to pursue profits.
What is profitable for their company or department? Undoubtedly, it's traffic.
Therefore, an anchor with great popularity on the Internet, as long as he doesn't commit any big taboos, don't make stupid remarks that have no brains, to put it bluntly, he always knows how to be humble and polite, and establishes a good image, he will be invited by many TV programs or online programs, and use this as a springboard to officially enter the entertainment industry.
Chen Kangyin proposed that Liu Jingxin and their band would better take such a path in the future, and the company would give them enough support in terms of resources and funds.
As for the original music, I am not in a hurry to do it for the time being, try to choose as many popular pop music as possible, and make arrangements in the band's unique style, which can best attract the current audience, which is less laborious than the original, and is also very pleasing.
Liu Jingxin felt a little uncomfortable with the point raised by Chen Kangyin, but he still smiled on the surface and did not refute it.
Now, the whole Friday band needs a way to get out, they all need to have a future to look forward to, they all need to be able to eat with music.
As for whether it should be "recruited" by the mainstream, whether it is a cover or whether it insists on originality, this is all debatable.
They have experienced too much, they just want to be able to go down this road, only if they go down, can they have the opportunity to fight for it, and it is possible to persist in the future. If they can't even walk, then all their persistence can only be empty words and memories, what is the point?
Zhang Xun, who was sitting in the co-pilot, listened to the conversation between Liu Jingxin and Chen Kangyin, frowning tightly, and his mood became more and more bad.
In fact, Zhang Xun's heart is also very entangled at this time, according to his ideas, he naturally hopes to make the music he likes in his own way, but the facts have proven that it is difficult to eat when making the music they like.
But because of this, do you have to disarm and surrender, give up the original ideals, don't even do the original, and just follow the taste of the public?
If that's the way out, why not?
Whether it is Liu Jingxin or Zhang Xun, this road is actually very tangled in their hearts.
But whether the heart wants to or not, at least this is an opportunity to break through the predicament of the status quo, and we must still seize it if we can seize it! Anyway, as long as we stick to the bottom line and remind ourselves not to forget our original intention, we will definitely be able to win the stage of their dreams in the future.
The group of four came to the rehearsal room, where Jiang Li and the three of them were already waiting.
Jiang Li and the three of them saw the two unfamiliar faces of Chen Kangyin and Du Xiaoyun, and guessed that these two must be the representatives of the record company, so they greeted each other very warmly and moved the stool.
"You guys should be going to do a live broadcast next, right? You guys are busy first, let's take a casual look first, and then talk when you're free. Chen Kangyin said with a smile.
Liu Jingxin immediately heard that the other party was going to inspect the actual rehearsal state of the band, so he glanced at the others and began to get busy.
According to the band's normal rehearsal plan, today it is still an adaptation of the song with a high degree of popularity, and today it has been changed to Li Ronghao's "Young and Promising".
The original song creates an image of a person who has been in society for a long time, sitting quietly in the corner of the bar, looking at the growing smoke rings, drinking beer on the table, and reminiscing about the past of his youth.
Since it is an adaptation, it must be subverted to a certain extent, but no matter how subverted the original song, there are a few points that cannot be biased.
First of all, the creative background, singing to the elders to the lover has become the norm, such as "I really love you", "Am I the person you love the most", etc.; secondly, the theme that the song wants to convey cannot be deviated, a song that conveys happiness, you have to change it to melancholy, just like watching a comedian perform an idol drama, no matter how high the technical level is, it is still doomed to failure......
After paying attention to a few key points, Liu Jingxin and they opened the live broadcast room to start the live broadcast, and began to make an electroacoustic band-style adaptation of the song "Young and Promising", so that the whole song has a stronger sense of power and a stronger sense of vicissitudes......
Chen Kangyin and Du Xiaoyun watched carefully beside them, listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and Du Xiaoyun would record some things according to Chen Kangyin's request.
Judging from the current performance of the two, they should be quite satisfied with the band, and it depends on how to talk about the next details.
