After the cooperation of this song "Sunflower", the distance between Liu Jingxin and the three boys has narrowed a lot, and the four of them are smoking and chatting while waiting for the girl to come back.

The tall and thin boy is the band's rhythm guitarist and lead singer, named Zhou Shuntao, and everyone calls him Shuai Tao. Although this kid is not very handsome, he is certainly not ugly, and it is estimated that it would be better to gain a little more weight, but now he is too thin and looks very thin.

The little fat man with glasses is the lead guitarist of the band, named Ge Song, don't look at him at first, he doesn't talk much, but once he gets acquainted, he is still very enthusiastic, squinting his little eyes and smiling, it is easy to make people feel close.

The short boy's name is Dunyang, and he is the drummer of the band and the captain of the band.

The girl who went back to the bedroom to get the quilt was called Yan Yu, and she was the bassist of the band.

Because they all liked the song "Sunflower", the name of the band was Sunflower.

As a campus band, and it is a band affiliated to the school club association, they have a rehearsal room provided by the club association, and can also apply for some funds for the band to purchase equipment, but they are subject to the constraints of the club association, and they have to frequently participate in various performances on campus, and there are not many opportunities to communicate outside, and they have never performed commercially.

Zhou Shuntao sighed while smoking a cigarette: "Actually, we really want to go out and have a look, they all say that the atmosphere of the commercial performance is good, but we haven't felt it yet." ”

Liu Jingxin smiled faintly and said: "That's it, in fact, if you are not in a hurry to make money, it is good to be like this." Having a stage, having an audience that recognizes you, and having plenty of time to rehearse together is enough. ”

"Brother Xin, have you ever acted in a commercial act?" Ge Song blinked his small eyes, raised his hand to hold the frame, and asked expectantly.

Liu Jingxin said: "I have acted, there are many kinds, which one are you asking?"

In order to make a living, the band Friday took on many commercial performances.

There is the kind of shopping mall that opens to do hot performances, the kind of commercial performances require a lot of requirements, the song list has to be approved, and you can't say too much on stage, after all, there is a host, and the audience is generally very calm in the process of listening to the song, Liu Jingxin They are jumping and jumping on the stage, and they all feel like fools;

There is the kind of band that goes to temporarily replace the wedding company at the wedding scene to save the scene, basically the whole time is in the corner of the side of the stage, and no one pays attention to them at all, and then they have to stand there to watch people eat and drink spicy food, and the most hateful thing is that when they meet people who drink too much, they run on stage to order songs, and they have to play the accompaniment while hungry while listening to people burp on the microphone;

Relatively comparatively, Liu Jingxin still prefers to go to the bar to stay, although the atmosphere is not good there, but at least compared with other "guerrilla warfare", the income of the station is relatively stable......

In fact, if any band has sufficient financial support, it is reluctant to accept these types of commercial performances, preferring to participate in music festivals or some more musical performances. But the band is not famous, and the musicians are often unable to help themselves because of their livelihood!

When it comes to commercial performances, Liu Jingxin can't help but think of the treatment they suffered in order to eat.

Zhou Shuntao and the three of them were listening to Liu Jingxin's narration with complicated expressions, and Yan Yu appeared at the door with a bed of army green quilt covered in sweat at this time, panting and said: "Hey, stop talking, come and help, I'm almost tired!"

A little girl must be hot and tired running around the campus with a quilt in her arms in this hot summer.

Dunyang hurriedly gave up his position for Yan Yu to sit down and rest, stepped forward to take the quilt, and then stood beside him and looked at Liu Jingxin.

Liu Jingxin stood up with his hands clapped his legs, and said with a smile: "Let's talk again when we have time, let's get the kick drum first." Do you have a knife or a wrench?"

"Yes, yes!"

Next, several people cooperated, removed the quilt cover, pulled out the cotton inside, disassembled the kick drum, stuffed the fluffy cotton wool into the kick drum, and adjusted the amount of cotton wool in the kick drum while listening to the sound of the kick drum.

They tossed and turned for a while, and finally got the tone of the kick drum to the best it could be in the current conditions.

As a drummer, Dunyang was very excited, and after reinstalling the kick drum, he pulled over the small bench and stepped on the kick drum wildly, so that the whole floor was trembling.

Liu Jingxin patted the broken cotton wool standing on his hand, and said with a smile: "You go back to rehearsal, I won't bother you." ”

Dunyang hurriedly put down the drum stick, got up and took out his mobile phone and said, "Brother Xin, let's leave each other's contact information, and I want to learn more from you when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Liu Jingxin said: "You can't talk about learning, let's communicate more and help each other." ”

Whether it is a campus band or an underground band, with the current music atmosphere and pop trend in China, it is actually not easy. If we don't support each other, what future can we talk about? If we don't have a future, what love can we talk about?

Liu Jingxin left the small rehearsal room and came downstairs, the four people upstairs had already started their rehearsals, this time they practiced Xu Wei's "Blue Lotus".

Zhou Shuntao's low, stubborn voice came out through the stereo, melted into the summer wind, and drifted into the distance.

"Nothing can stop your yearning for freedom;

In a whimsical career, your heart has no worries;

Through the dark years, I also felt hesitant;

The moment you look down, you realize the road under your feet......"

Liu Jingxin looked up at the clouds under the clear blue sky, recalled his journey from the formation of the Friday band to the present, and raised the corners of his mouth to show a relieved smile.

Nothing could stop him, even if he had been hesitant and confused, but he now knew exactly where he was going.

Youth is a state of mind, youth is a state, and young youth is good!

Liu Jingxin suddenly felt as if a seed was sprouting rapidly in his heart, breaking through the ground, and a melody appeared in his mind and lingered.

For creators, inspiration is like urgency when it comes to it, and they can't hold it back if they want to.

Liu Jingxin walked quickly away from the area of the football field, found a quiet grove in the distance, sat on a bench under the shade of the trees, secretly polished the melody in his mind, and after the melody was almost finalized, he took out his mobile phone and hummed to record the melody, so as to avoid forgetting some details after the current state.

The melody was set, the lyrics were drafted, and the next step was to find time to finalize the song and finish it with the band brothers.

Liu Jingxin turned his head to look in the direction of the football stadium observation deck in the distance, and could faintly hear the sound of drums and guitars.

Whether it's a sunflower born to the sun or a blue lotus that never withers, please enjoy the moment and bloom to your heart's content!
