The two words that were harmonized in the title of the previous chapter were "him".

And then, well, for the so-called harmony thesaurus, I can't.

***

Flying Band Studios.

Zhou Zhao clasped his hands on his chest, stood at the entrance of the practice room, looked at the few people who were rehearsing over there, listened to it, and couldn't help but smile.

Actually, really, people who have come from such an era, as long as you have ever heard rock music, heard the rock of the flying band, then, it is difficult for you not to become a fan of them.

Confusion, shouting, struggle, rebellion, pain, and a smile after the hardships of life...... That's pretty much the strongest note of an era.

Moreover, although it is definitely a tie now, Li Qian also has to admit that he is actually a die-hard fan of the Flying Band, and he likes many of their works.

In the early 80s, when the Flying Band became popular, Zhou Zhao was only the assistant to the general manager of Cinda Records, and began to learn to manage the company's affairs with his father.

Zheng Mo, the agent of the Flying Band, was standing beside Zhou Zhao, seeing that a song was about to end, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhao, turned his head to look at Zhou Zhao, and asked with a low smile: "Mr. Zhou, how is it?"

Zhou Zhao smiled and nodded, "It's still that taste, it's still so good!"

Zheng Mo couldn't help but laugh.

Of course, the Flying Band is the Flying Band!

They don't go out of the rivers and lakes, and those little broken children are smug, but once the Flying Band comes out of the rivers and lakes again, they will still be the flag bearers of domestic rock music!

After a few moments, the drumming stopped. They stood at the door, and they heard Xiao Aiguo commenting inside: "Le, you are a little too excited today, a little robbing, Mingyun, you are still a little bit close to your love of books." His rhythm is crisp and hard, so you have to stick it there, you can't go your own way, then our band will fall apart! ”

Before he finished his words, he heard Geng Le suddenly say, "Yo, Lao Zhou is here?"

Zhou Zhao heard this. stepped in, nodded to the band's buddies and said hello, and even bumped fists with Geng Le and Xiao Aiguo, and asked with a smile: "How about Brother Xiao? This song can almost be recorded, right?"

Xiao Aiguo, as always, is not too talkative, and when he heard the words, he just said: "It's almost meaningful." ”

Zhou Zhao smiled, turned his head and glanced at Geng Le, and then said, "I heard about what Minghu said yesterday?"

Xiao Aiguo nodded. Didn't speak.

Zhou Zhao smiled again and said, "Actually." Mainly in the past few years, you old guys have been hiding, and there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call the king, hehe, what about you, don't pay too much attention to it! Li Qian is indeed very popular, so it is normal for him to have no one in his eyes. ”

Xiao Aiguo smiled and replied succinctly, "It's okay." ”

Geng Le then spoke. "That woman's tone is really crazy enough, Lao Zhou, do you want me to go out and squirt a few more words, it's too fucking, I'm pretending to be forced, and I'm grateful, thank you!"

Zhou Zhao smiled, and before he could speak, Xiao Aiguo had already spoken: "Okay, you, don't have nothing to do, take a junior to build a ladder, what's wrong with showing your face more?"

Geng Le shrugged, Zhou Zhao smiled and didn't speak, but Zheng Mo couldn't help but speak: "Brother Xiao, you can't say that, this year is no longer what it was back then, after all, the Flying Band hasn't released an album for more than ten years, Brother Geng stood up like this and said a few words, it's not a bad thing to fry it in advance, this is called warm-up!"

Xiao Aiguo looked at him when he heard this, but did not speak.

Xiao Aiguo didn't speak, Geng Le has always been very close to his agent Zheng Mo, and several other people in the band were even more reluctant to interject and say more, at this time, Ma Aishu, who usually had nothing to say, suddenly said: "This kind of hype, it's better not to do it, it's nothing to offend people, the problem is a little embarrassing." ”

"Hey!" Geng Le was not happy when he heard this, "Ma'er, what do you mean by this? Who did I throw away from us? I did this with Lao Zheng, didn't I do it to build momentum for us?"

Ma Aishu heard this: "As long as the work is good, what kind of momentum do you need to make? The work is not good, there is a fart to build momentum? To be honest, if the work is not good, I would rather not release this album!"

Xiao Aiguo turned his head and glanced at Ma Aishu when he heard this.

can force an honest person like Ma Aishu to start saying this kind of thing, he knows that Ma Er's thoughts are probably very similar to him, they are all quite disgusted by this kind of so-called hype and warm-up with the help of the media.

As a result, the dissatisfaction accumulated in his heart with Zheng Mo's jumping up and down suddenly became a little more - I really don't know why Geng Le was so close to him!

Seeing that Geng Le was glaring and wanted to refute, Xiao Aiguo said in time: "Okay, stop arguing!"

After a pause, he looked at Zhou Zhao and said, "Since that's what you said over there, then let's see the real chapter in the work, arguing back and forth, it's too much of a girl!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Zhao to answer, turned his head to look at the members of his band, and said very seriously: "From now on, take care of your mouth, don't talk nonsense." ”

After a pause, he looked at Zheng Mo, then retracted his gaze and looked at Geng Le, "Especially you, Le, don't talk so much outside, we are singing, we are making music, what are you always spraying with a girl!"

Xiao Aiguo's prestige is still very high, although Geng Le is not very happy when he hears this, he still shrugs his shoulders and nodded, "Cheng, I can't do it if I don't speak?"

Zheng Mo's mind was racing, and he wanted to explain, after all, in his opinion, with Qi Jie's words, this fire was burning, and the two sides would go back and forth with each other a few more times in the future, even if the fire was completely burned, it was hard to say, at least the younger generation of fans will be much more familiar with the name of the Flying Band, and no longer just regard them as "legendary characters" It's just that I know, in this way, when the album in my hand is finished and released, a little fry, will definitely be of great help to increase album sales.

But this time. Xiao Aiguo has already spoken, and he feels that in the troika of the Flying Band, it seems that only Geng Le supports his own idea, Xiao Aiguo and Ma Aishu are both a little disgusted by their hype routine. So after hesitating, he didn't speak again, just turned his head to look at Zhou Zhao, the boss of Xinda Records, waiting for him to say something.

But at this time, Zhou Zhao just smiled and nodded without hesitation, "Cheng, what does Brother Xiao say, then what to do! Just focus on making an album, okay?"

When Xiao Aiguo heard this, he finally had a little smile on his face.

Zheng Mo looked at Zhou Zhao and felt a little dissatisfied, but in front of so many people, some words were naturally inconvenient to say, so he had to endure it for the time being.

After everyone chatted a few more words, Zhou Zhao said goodbye and left. Let them continue to rehearse, and Zheng Mo followed out. As soon as he walked out of the door of the studio, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhou, you are ...... You came up with this idea for me and Geng Le, why did you ...... it first?"

Zhou Zhao smiled and said comfortingly: "Lao Zheng, haven't you seen it yet? Lao Xiao and Lao Ma are not very happy to do this. Besides, you don't know Lao Xiao's temperament, which makes him unhappy, maybe he will turn his head and decide not to do it. Have you forgotten how much effort and effort we put into convincing him?"

Speaking of this, he patted Zheng Mo on the shoulder with a smile and said, "When the album is made, it's not too late for us to do anything!

After finishing speaking, he let go of his hand with a smile and said, "I'll go back first, you stare at it, Lao Xiao is too inkblot to make things, and likes to overturn back and forth, in fact, the works in this album are all good things that he has saved for more than ten years, where else can it be?

When Zheng Mo nodded, he smiled again, patted him on the shoulder, and turned his head to walk towards his car.

…………

In the evening, six o'clock.

In the winter of Suncheonfu, it was already dark outside at this point.

After the arrangement ended, the members of the band went out one after another, Ma Aishu deliberately stayed at the end, and when even Geng Le went out, he walked to the rest area with his bag on his back and sat down, looked at Xiao Aiguo opposite, and said, "Old Xiao, I look at you...... Not satisfied?"

Xiao Aiguo looked up at him, didn't say yes, didn't say no, just picked up the kettle, poured him a large glass of water, and then tilted back on the sofa, stunned.

The two have known each other for more than 20 years, and they have met almost every day over the years, and they have long been so familiar that they can't be more familiar, and because Geng Le's temperament is too floating, although if you really want to talk about friendship, everyone is about the same, but when it comes to speculation on weekdays, Geng Le is still a little worse, and in the whole band, he and Xiao Aiguo are the most compatible.

Therefore, Xiao Aiguo didn't speak, so he didn't speak, sat there holding a water cup, drank two sips of water in a small sip, and quietly waited for Xiao Aiguo's answer.

After a full few minutes, Xiao Aiguo suddenly spoke: "Actually, we all know that although Li Qian's path is different from ours, he can be where he is today, and it is definitely not in vain. I've listened to their album many times, and the standard is still very high. ”

Ma Aishu thought for a moment when he heard this, and then looked up at him, "You...... A little worried?"

If he was chatting with other people, even if it was an old guy like Geng Le, Xiao Aiguo would not hesitate to scoff at this kind of statement - who is he, he is Xiao Aiguo, he is a rock 'n' roll old Xiao, will he be afraid of a rising star? He will be worried that he will not be able to sell those four beauties? joke!

But the person sitting opposite was Ma Aishu, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said simply: "I'm worried that I can't talk about it, it's just, you know, we've really been away for too long, making music, I'm not afraid, I'm worried that it's a little bit inaccurate! ”

When Ma Aishu heard this, it took half a minute before he spoke: "Have we left? It's just that we haven't released an album......, right?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Aiguo had already shook his head, interrupted him, and said: "Ma'er, we all understand the truth, watching people swim at the beach every day is different from swimming by yourself." ”

Ma Aiguo stopped talking when he heard this.

After a pause, Xiao Aiguo looked up at the roof and muttered, "Mainly, this time is rehearsal." I don't think these songs in my hand are very tasteful, but I don't know how to make them more flavorful!"

This time, Ma Aiguo was also crooked on the sofa.

After a long while, he sighed, "Old Xiao, don't you think." We're all old!"

Hearing him say this, Xiao Aiguo laughed instead, "! Old fart, you still sleep all night, old?"

Ma Aishu laughed when he heard this.

Then he stood up, his backpack thrown over his shoulder, "Let's go, don't think about it! It's rusting all these years." It doesn't matter if he wins or loses, let's play this one!"

Xiao Aiguo smiled and said, "You go first, I'll stay for a while!"

Ma Aishu nodded, "Let's go!" and then turned around and walked out.

When he left, Xiao Aiguo crooked back on the sofa, and after more than ten minutes, he stood up. Walk over to the rehearsal area and pick up your guitar. Standing there steadily, thinking and thinking, but his hand didn't fall on the string for a long time.

A few minutes later, he put his guitar back down, rubbed his nose, and went to the lounge area to pick up his car keys and wallet. Got up and walked out.

…………

With the news that the four major beauty bands are actively preparing for their second album, everyone in the entire entertainment industry quickly entered a state of waiting to see a good show, but then, Geng Le did not give any more interviews. It wasn't until he was blocked by reporters that he said disdainfully: "It's a good thing, if you are not convinced, then you can compare and see! Who else are we afraid of?"

As for Xinda Records, its general manager Zhou Zhao said with a smile in an interview: "I think this has become a good thing, the Flying Band is the founder and palace-level band of domestic rock music, the four beauty bands, it should also be regarded as a good rising star, and now both sides are going to release albums, which is very good, for every fan who likes rock and roll, this is a good thing, isn't it?"

As a result, everyone knows that the duel has become inevitable.

Then, though there was silence on both sides for the rest of the winter, and the matter seemed to come suddenly and then hung up again, everyone knew that the fire had been planted.

It's just that what outsiders don't know is that the Flying Band had already completed the recording of seven works, and because of Xiao Aiguo's repeated insistence, in the end, they withdrew three of them. The reason is, it's not good enough!

And at that time, even Geng Le began to understand: Although he may not care about it, in fact, this unexpected appointment still put a lot of pressure on Xiao Aiguo!

Although in Geng Le's view, the four major beauty bands really have nothing to be afraid of! As for Li Qian, in his eyes, he is really just a little child! And Xiao Aiguo is so solemn, as if he is really a little jealous of Li Qian, which makes him quite dissatisfied in his heart! But after all, the Flying Band still has Xiao Aiguo as the absolute core, so no matter how dissatisfied he is, he just complains a few words to his agent Zheng Mo and Zhou Zhao, the general manager of Xinda Records.

And at this time, on the side of Minghu Culture, the five members of the four beauty bands all burst out with the greatest enthusiasm after being stimulated before, completely ignoring the things outside the window, and only for the sake of making albums, everyone almost ate and lived in the company.

From the beginning of December, when the decision was made to make this album, to the middle of January, in just one and a half months, their second album was almost finished, and then the post-processing was quickly completed.

In other words, in just one month, the album has completed the entire production process.

After a meeting and discussion, as well as the company's distribution department and the distribution and underwriting companies in the following places, it was finally decided that the album would be officially launched on February 10, 1999, that is, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year after the Spring Festival.

So, although in a bit of a hurry, as Huaxia TV publicly admitted after New Year's Day that the four beauty bands will appear on this year's Spring Festival Gala, the promotion of the new album of the four beauty bands was also in full swing.

The name of this album was naturally officially exposed later, it is called "Once You".

And at the same time that the entire music world is looking forward to this album, Qi Jie also officially announced the album listing arrangement of Minghu Culture in 1999 on behalf of Minghu Culture-

In February, the four beauty bands, "Once You".

In April, Zhuang Meiyue, "At Least There's You".

In June, Ge Rilen, "Farewell My Concubine".

In August, Zhao Yuan, "Outside the Window".

In October, the Rose Power Group, the album title is to be determined.

In December, He Runqing, the album title is to be determined.

After announcing the album's listing arrangement, Qi Jie also admitted frankly that because the global tour last year took up a lot of time, Liao Liao was likely to choose to take a year off in 1999, of course, it was not absolute, it all depended on her and Li Qian's schedule.

At the same time, Qi Jie also admitted that in the next year, the company will sign three singers Zhou Ye, Wang Nanhao and Zhou Yan one after another, and their new albums will also be released in late 1999 and early 2000, but the specific time is to be determined.

Subsequently, when there were only a few days left before the Spring Festival, the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the annual Spring Festival Gala was about to be held, and the timing of Li Qian and the four beauty bands participating in the Spring Festival Gala performance and the final finalized program list were finally exposed by "insiders".

The time point is around 11:30 that night, and the status is undoubtedly the finale, and it is said that the Spring Festival Gala program team gave them a total of about eight minutes of time - this is for the Spring Festival Gala, especially for the Spring Festival Gala in recent years, it is definitely a super celebrity treatment in the past and present!

As for the works, there are naturally two in total.

It is said that the Spring Festival Gala program team is worried that the new song will not be able to explode, so out of prudent considerations, I hope that the first work can come out of the album "Fake Monk", but the four beauty bands insist on releasing new songs, so it was finally decided that both songs will be from their new album, the first song is the title song of their new album "Once You" "Once You", and the second song is called "Fly Higher".

At the same time, some insiders broke the news that it was said that the Spring Festival Gala program team sent an invitation to the Flying Band at the same time, hoping that they could also come to participate in this Spring Festival Gala, but I don't know what the considerations were, the Flying Band finally chose to refuse.

As for the reason, some people say that the Flying Band is not satisfied with the ten-and-a-half appearance time promised by the Spring Festival Gala program team, and some people say that the Flying Band wants to keep the new songs in the album secret.

Because it is said that their new album is only half completed, it is far less fast than the four major beauty bands to make albums, and the Spring Festival Gala program team is willing to take out the old songs from ten years ago, but Xiao Aiguo is a little disdainful, and it seems that he doesn't want to say goodbye to others with his old qualifications.

Of course, some people say that the Flying Band simply doesn't bother to go to the Spring Festival Gala.

In short, more than ten years ago, when rock was at its hottest, the Flying Band couldn't go to the Spring Festival Gala if they wanted to, because at that time, rock, a kind of irritable and gloomy foreign music, was still an outlier and a non-mainstream for the domestic environment at that time.

After more than ten years of fermentation, now the status of the Flying Band is high enough, and even entering the palace, rock and roll is no longer like it was at the beginning, and many people will be linked to "a bunch of little hooligans with long hair", but the Flying Band rejected this opportunity to go to the Spring Festival Gala.

Then, looking forward to it, looking forward to it, Chinese New Year's Eve is finally coming! )
