Chapter Ninety-Three: The Band
Hearing Huang Qin's words, Zhou Hua's face froze. Also, although Zhou Xin's voice is suitable for singing, it is not a good thing for several people with a big difference in style to be combined, and Zhou Xin's situation must be joined as the lead singer, so what to do with Zhou Hua and Zhao Mu, who also have ideas in singing, these are all things to consider. Since you have to consider the issue of singing together, the division of labor of several people needs to be considered, and you can't just come at random because of your hobby.
Zhao Mu thought about it for a while and said, "The eldest of the four of us plays drums, the second brother plays bass, and I mainly learn guitar now. ”
Hearing Zhao Mu's words, several people paused, and then Huang Qin next to him said: "Band, why are you going to play rock, the current popularity of rock in China is not too high, and the popularity of Western rock is different, why don't you consider forming a group to play pop music?"
There are some differences between bands and groups, the most important of which is that those who play bands can basically be regarded as playing rock, although many domestic bands are not actually rock at all, of course, the rock here is rock in a narrow sense. As rock music, which once occupied 70% of the Western music market, after years of development and integration with other genres, the scope of rock music can be very large in a broad sense. But in the eyes of many people who like rock and roll, rock is more like industrial rock, heavy metal rock and other metal rock, and rock here belongs to rock in the narrow sense.
However, in addition to a few excellent rock bands, many of the domestic rock bands blindly imitate or cover the excellent rock works of the West, and they don't have many works, even if there are some works, but they are not excellent, and there are no characteristics, and what is even more unbearable is that many songs don't even know whether rock in a broad sense is counted, but they have the face to claim that they are playing rock, which is really unacceptable.
As for the group, they basically sing pop songs. Because of the prevalence of domestic pop music, there are many combinations of pop music in China, and there are also many forms in style, and the composition of the members is also different.
In addition, although there are not many excellent bands in China, the band emphasizes more on the creative ability, a band can have a few works that can be known and accepted by the public, it can be regarded as a successful band;
And here is also the difference between bands and groups, because in the domestic environment, there are many underground bands in China. Underground bands are often equated with "rock music" or "new music". Although many musicians do not admit that they belong to underground bands. Many bands do not have a fixed financial source, usually because of their hobbies, and the band's financial source is to make money by singing in many bars and other places, which is what many people think of as an underground band. Some bands have signed record companies, have a fixed financial source every month, and enjoy the opportunity to publish their works in the form of albums, and this kind of band is also a relatively good band with a certain strength and development in the music scene, and they are very different from the underground bands in the usual form. But it can be said that it is precisely because of the large number of underground bands that the current development of rock music in China is not very good, but it still insists on the development for many years.
Compared with the embarrassing situation of the band, domestic groups generally have their own signed record companies, have fixed financial resources, have the company's resources to promote, and can publish their own works in the form of albums, although many of these works are works created for the group by musicians practiced by the record company, and the group is more likely to improve their own works through various activities.
At the same time, in order to better enhance the fame of the group and improve the popularity of the group, the current domestic groups are basically handsome men and beautiful women, which is also to be easily accepted by people and sought after by more people;
"Well, my idea is to form a band, just now a few of our hobbies are also more suitable for the composition of the band, although the number of people is a bit thin, but it is enough to form a simple band, and at the same time, the band can play both rock music and pop music, so that it can be both, it's good, but I still have to look at your opinions", while saying, Zhao Mu set his eyes on Luda Zhouhua and a few people.
Looking at Zhao Mu's gaze, Ruda shrugged his shoulders and said: "Well, I think the band can also be, it just so happens that the indispensable ones for a band are guitarists, bassists and drummers, which can just exercise our instrument level, and at the same time it's good to play rock, anyway, I like rock and roll." ”
Luda spoke, Zhou Hua faced the gaze of several people to him, paused, and then said: "The band is good, just as the boss said that we can exercise our musical instrument level, and at the same time, the band can only play rock music, but also pop music, and I have no problem." ”
Facing Huang Yan, who was looking at him at the same time, under the gaze of several people, he spread his hands and said: "Okay, since you all have no opinions, of course I don't have any opinions, but I don't specialize in musical instruments in the band, I feel that I am a little redundant in the band, and I plan to specialize in post-production of music and other directions." ”
Hearing that Huang Yan agreed to form a band, Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief. But hearing Huang Yan say that he was a little redundant, Zhao Mu disagreed. immediately said to Huang Yan: "How can it be said that it is redundant, you said that you are going to specialize in music production, and in the future, our band will develop to a certain level of fame and can release albums, and the production of music is the time when you are needed, and the production of music is a very important thing, you don't have confidence in us, thinking that we can't develop to that extent, that's not good." In addition, there are not only drummers, bassists, and guitarists in the band, but we may also need to use other instruments when we create music in the future. ”
