Lin Xuan's face was full of surprise, and he said, "Teacher Qin, you took on a variety show, isn't it a joke?"

Qin Chu should have only told Li Bi about this matter before, and at this moment, Zhang Fei and Li Xiong's faces were also full of surprise.

Qin Chu nodded, picked up a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a deep breath, his gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally fixed on Lin Xuan, and said:

"Actually, I was hesitant at first, but after Lin Xuan's single this time, I was sure. ”

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, not knowing what this had to do with him.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Qin Chu continued:

"In the past few months, Liu Weixin, the producer of Penguin Video's variety show department, has been coming to me and asking me to join a new music variety show they planned, but I refused without thinking about it at first.

I've been rock and roll all my life, and I'm not joking when I am "acting" on the show.

But Liu Weixin didn't give up, and then he came to sit with me when he was fine, mentioned it three times and twice, and told me his thoughts and concepts with enthusiasm.

said that the music program he wants to do is not an amateur audition singing program, nor is it to find some well-known singers to do a singing competition, he wants to make an unprecedented program. ”

"What's that?" Zhang Fei asked, these two types of programs are currently the most popular music reality shows on the market.

Qin Chu's eyes lit up slightly, and he said loudly:

"A band show! a show designed to bring unknown bands to the front of the stage!"

Zhang Fei and Li Xiong have been livehouses for half their lives, witnessing those excellent bands along the way, and they have been discovering bands and popularizing live music.

Hearing this, there seemed to be a blazing flame rising in his eyes.

The two of them knew the group of people in the band very well, and their minds changed and said:

"The people who play in the band are very individual, and many of them are reluctant to be on variety shows, and it's not easy to persuade them to be on the show. ”

Qin Chu nodded and said, "Liu Weixin also understands this, that's why he wants me to come to the platform." ”

Zhang Fei nodded seriously and said, "If Mr. Qin comes forward, many bands will consider it carefully." ”

Qin Chu continued:

"I was a little shaken at the beginning because I saw Liu Weixin's attitude towards doing things, and the whole team spent a lot of time to understand and investigate the survival of the Chinese band, and also visited many bands to deeply understand the character of this group of people who do the band.

In addition, although Liu Weixin is a businessman, he is a businessman with feelings, he himself likes rock music very much, and seeing the decline of rock music now, he wants to make a band program and push those musicians who are serious about making music to the stage. ”

Li Xiong nodded and said:

"It's a good idea, but the people in those bands are more direct in their speech, and a lot of people don't bother to act in disguise, and it's unlikely that they want them to follow the script. ”

Qin Chu said:

Liu Weixin also took this issue into account, his purpose is to bring the real side of the band to the audience, so that people can understand this group of people and their music, which is the selling point of the show, so he will not ask the band to deliberately create those dramatic effects.

Moreover, unlike other shows, I will not appear as a mentor, but as a music fan, and enjoy the performance with everyone, for the effect of the show, although there will be competitions, but the purpose is not to compete for victory, but to promote the band culture. ”

Lin Xuan listened silently, remembering a music variety show "Summer of the Band" that appeared before he crossed over in his previous life.

It was his favorite music variety show, but it was quite a coincidence, the format of this show was almost the same as "Summer of the Band".

The soot had accumulated two centimeters long, Qin Chu flicked the soot and said:

"I very much agree with Liu Weixin's ideas and attitudes, but I was still a little shaken at first, and then after Lin Xuan's incident, I made up my mind to take over this show.

Those of us who play bands, to put it bluntly, are a bit high-minded, and we don't look down on those who sing pop songs, and we think it's boring to be on the show, so we would rather perform at a music festival.

However, in this noisy era of information explosion, if you want to be truly known to the public, you must promote it through channels.

Anyone who makes music wants to have more listeners and more people recognize their music, and who doesn't want to stand in a stadium of 10,000 people to hold a concert. ”

Qin Chu's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and everyone nodded slightly.

Qin Chu said a little angrily:

"What is happening in the music scene now, everyone can see it, some music without quality is flooding the charts, and those good music that is really seriously made is only spread in a small area.

To change that, we need to get really good music out there for people to hear and put more delicious food on their tables.

Many people who play bands refuse commercialization, thinking that commercialization will smooth out their personality, but now that there is such a good opportunity, a program that tries to promote band culture has appeared, and we should promote our own music. ”

Qin Chu turned his head to look at Zhang Fei and Li Xiong, and said:

"The two of you have been doing livehouses, and you know the current situation of domestic bands, and those old bands still have the opportunity to perform at music festivals, but most of the new bands are not qualified enough, so they can only perform in livehouses at the beginning, and the money they make is not enough to support themselves, and sometimes they can't even replace the equipment.

Artists also have to eat, those who are talented and serious about making music, they should not even have enough to eat, they can only burn for a while for the sake of their ideals, they can't always do things with love, and they will always be unable to persevere in the end.

Everyone has to live, and those young friends, seeing that they can't even eat enough to eat when they are in a band, will only make fewer and fewer people in a band. ”

Zhang Fei and Li Xiong looked gloomy, each lit a cigarette and nodded silently.

Li Bi remembered his past experiences, he had given up music for a while, and his expression was a little gloomy.

Lin Xuan remembered the experience of his previous life, his heart fluctuated, his fingers tapped on the table, and he did not speak.

Qin Chu took a deep breath of cigarette and said with a smile:

"First, originality is the cornerstone of the music industry, and a program that promotes original and excellent music can bring new vitality to this smoky music scene and make the music industry better.

Second, through this program, people can pay attention to the band, so that those who love music and have been working hard to make music can get more opportunities.

Third, this show is a band program, although most of the bands that play are rock bands, but there are also different types of bands such as jazz, reggae, blues, folk, etc., which can allow people to see more music types and listen to different types of music, which can improve people's aesthetics of music, and the public aesthetics will improve, and the industry will slowly get better.

In that case, do you think I should take this show?!"

A few people didn't hesitate and said, "You should take it." ”

Qin Chu picked up the wine glass, and everyone touched it and drank it all before he said leisurely:

"Actually, I also had selfish intentions when I took over this show. ”

The people looked at him in confusion,

Qin Chu's eyes revealed a little remembrance, and said:

"When I was younger, I made rock 'n' roll, and then I entered the golden age of rock 'n' roll, which was a time when rock 'n' roll was shining like never before.

But over the years, rock music has gradually declined, and everyone says rock 'n' roll is dead, but I know that there are still many young people who like rock and roll, and there are still many talented young people who are doing rock 'n' roll.

I want to promote rock music through this show, and I want to see if rock 'n' roll is dead or not?"

According to a survey, the music that everyone likes between the ages of 15 and 25 determines his lifelong aesthetics of music.

When Li Bi and others were young, it was the golden age of rock and roll, and they all loved rock music, and they did not hesitate to say: "Rock and roll is not dead!"

Lin Xuan said: "Mr. Qin, as an indicator figure of rock music, you are afraid that appearing on variety shows will cause some people's criticism, after all, in many people's concepts, rock and roll should be maverick and should keep a distance from the mainstream." ”

Qin Chu chuckled lightly and said:

"At my age, the wealth and prestige that I deserve in this life have already been obtained, no matter what they say, the important thing is to be able to do something for the music scene, to be able to see Chinese music become better, more important than anything imaginary. ”

Lin Xuan nodded seriously.

After some chatting, Lin Xuan felt respect in Qin Chu's heart.

Position determines ideas, Qin Chu's vision is not looking at himself, with his status, he really doesn't need to be on variety shows, he is focusing on the future of the Chinese music scene and the entire industry, in order to promote those young people who are serious about making music, he stood up.

The pattern and mind are worthy of his identity as a master.

Speaking of this, Qin Chu turned his head to look at Lin Xuan, "Xiao Lin, do you like rock and roll?"

"Like. Lin Xuan nodded without hesitation.

There should be few people who love music who don't like rock, and Lin Xuan has always liked music with strong humanistic colors and critical personality, which is completely in line with rock music.

Qin Chu nodded, stepped into the topic, and said:

"Xiaolin, the purpose of my coming to you this time, you should have guessed it, your creative talent is obvious to all, and it is loved by the public.

Your "Alive" and "Life More Than Present" are both very good folk rock works, especially "Life is more than Immediate Gou" I have heard the best folk rock works in recent years, so I want you to form a rock band and participate in this show. ”

Qin Chu asked: "This show has a theme creation competition, focusing on original works, with your creative ability, you can definitely add luster to this show." ”

Li Bi nodded and said:

"Xiaolin, Mr. Qin told me the idea of letting you form a band before, you know, I play the bass well, Brother Fei's drums are first-class in the industry, Brother Xiong's guitar ability is also first-class, and I also have a suitable keyboard candidate in my mind, plus the five of you, let's get together to speak for the band and do something for rock music." ”

Zhang Fei and Li Xiong smiled:

"No wonder you came here just now and mentioned that you wanted me to form a band, so that's the case, if you can make the band's survival better through this show, I'm willing to join. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Xuan.

Qin Chu and others wanted to do something for the music industry, and that feeling moved Lin Xuan, who loved music, very much.

He had never thought about being on the show before, and for the first time, his heart was shaken.

But Lin Xuan didn't give an answer immediately, he was silent for a while, and said:

"Teacher Qin, Brother Bi, Brother Fei, Brother Xiong, I respect your approach very much, but, you also know that I have always been very reluctant to be on the show. ”

Qin Chu looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Xiaolin, I understand you, those of us who play rock and roll are also a little high in our hearts, and many people are reluctant to be on the show."

But why do I want you to be on the show? If you want to promote the band, the music comes first, and if the good work comes out and people are welcome, they will naturally pay attention to the show.

You have the ability to create works that people like to be moved, so I really want you to stand up, and although I don't want to admit it, my peak of creation has long passed.

You are very talented, and I want you to carry the banner of rock or original music, and through the influence of your work, the musicians who also participate in the show will also be noticed, and then the underground band will also be noticed. ”

Looking at Qin Chu's earnest gaze, Lin Xuan's heart was shaken again, but the previous deep-rooted thoughts were not so easy to change, so he still didn't agree directly.

Seeing this, Qin Chu sighed lightly and said earnestly:

"Xiaolin, a person's ability and responsibility are linked, God has endowed you with amazing talent, and you have also been given some kind of mission.

It's okay if you want to keep a low profile, and it's okay to be separated from the entertainment industry, I've been like this for so many years, and you can also stay away from the entertainment industry after participating in the show, and concentrate on making music and releasing albums, which is not a conflict.

To be honest, no matter how many programs are promoted by the band, it is actually better to have a truly radiant rock band and a much-anticipated rock star.

In that case, young people will naturally go into bands and play rock 'n' roll when they see that rock music is so cool, so good, so popular.

Kobayashi, I think you're the one with the best chance of becoming that rock star. ”

Lin Xuan saw in Qin Chu's eyes the expectations of his predecessors for his juniors, he was a little confused in his heart, and he couldn't make a decision for a while, so he said immediately: "Teacher Qin, please give me a little time, let me think about it." ”

Qin Chu nodded, and without saying more, everyone started drinking again.

A group of people drank until two o'clock in the night, and Li Bi walked behind and grabbed Lin Xuan.

"Brother Bi, what's wrong?"

"Xiaolin, listen to my brother, don't waste your talent, since you have that ability, stand up and do something for Chinese music. ”

The wine was strong, Li Bi said with a flushed face, patted Lin Xuan's shoulder, and then waved away.
