Chapter 45: The Victory Band

Leisurely drove to the parking space of Biyue Plaza, put the car, Li Wenxing looked at the time, it was exactly three o'clock.

Entering the center of the square and looking around, Li Wenxing soon found Zhang Guorong and several people surrounded by many tourists in one place.

didn't rush forward to talk, Li Wenxing just joined everyone and watched a few people in the audience fiddling with musical instruments, thinking that they had just come over.

Originally, I wanted to enjoy the performances of a few people on the side first, but Tang Heard was the first to find out, and in desperation, Li Wenxing had no choice but to come out to greet everyone.

"Rong Shao, De Shao, and these few, Rong Shao won't you introduce us to a wave soon?"

Before coming, Li Wenxing deliberately changed into a large T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers bought by Lin Xueli, plus the pitch-black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and the coffee-colored baseball cap on his head, which was completely the standard outfit for underground band members in later generations.

Because the predecessor and Zhang Guorong and Tang Hede were old acquaintances, they were diluted and cooled down after a night of fandom. At this time, Li Wenxing followed the two face to face, without the fanaticism of meeting celebrities, and of course there was no estrangement, it was completely the enthusiasm and communication when acquaintances met.

"Ha, Xing Shao is here. ”

Seeing Li Wenxing appear, Zhang Guorong first fought against him according to the old rules, and then pulled a few friends around him and began to introduce them to each other.

"Xingshao, Li Wenxing, Mong Kok Xingxing, used to live in this area. Later, he learned to be obedient and was admitted to the wireless station as an actor. Na, you all saw it last night, isn't it beautiful for Xing Shao to sing and perform on stage?"

Zhang Guorong introduced it like this, not so much to introduce it to himself, but to the onlookers.

After all, they used to be mixed in Central, and occasionally came to Kowloon, New Territories, and it didn't cost much to make some extra money to maintain the band. But to blatantly occupy the square like today, put on a posture and play music, is a bit out of bounds. You must know that underground bands usually maintain a certain friendly relationship with local community forces, and like the community, they also have their own territory and circles.

In short, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

If Li Wenxing doesn't show up today, it won't take a while, and someone will definitely come over and step on the field. But now that Li Wenxing is present, no matter how many people come later, they don't have to worry about them being unruly. Because judging from the other party's confidence last night, how many people in Mong Kok are no bigger than him Li Wenxing.

Similarly, Hong Kong Island is Zhang Guorong's territory. It is not a joke that Zhang Guorong will be called the prince of Central, the Zhang family is a well-known family in Central, Hong Kong Island, whether it is an official or a community, they all have a certain social status.

If Li Wenxing rashly went to Central, he would definitely not be better than Zhang Guorong, and it would even be difficult to move an inch. Because that side is now the chassis of Ngee An, and Ngee An is now fighting fiercely with the word head. The son of the person who said the word rashly ran to Wan Chai, isn't that a food delivery?

Putting aside the entanglements of various underground bands and societies here, let's listen to the Prince of Central to continue to introduce them.

"Xing Shao, this is Qizai, you know. ”

"Know, of course know. De Shao is really promising, I heard that he is now the man of the year in Shengfang Middle School. ”

De Shao, Tang Hede, this is the last person to accompany his brother through the journey of life.

Tang Hede's family is also a big family, because he is seventh in the family, and Zhang Guorong is small and has a deep brotherhood, and because Zhang Guorong is ranked tenth in the family, one of the two is called Qizai and the other is called Shizai.

If you want to say that Tang Hede and Zhang Guorong have absolutely no relationship between brothers, don't mention various recognized facts in later generations, let's talk about the present. was originally a top student in a famous school, a student of the year, but he came to play in the band with Zhang Guorong, and also went to the night show to perform.

"There are fewer stars than prizes. ”

Facing Li Wenxing's fist, Tang Hede didn't say much, and stepped aside in a very low-key manner.

"This is Ah Liang, the keyboardist of our band, this is Amin, the drummer, and this is Ah Leopard, the saxophone. These are their friends. (The band is real, but the names of the members can't be found, so it's fictitious here, forgive me.) Does not affect the main plot. )”

"Okay, hello everyone. ”

With Zhang Guorong's introduction, Li Wenxing greeted everyone in turn, and his attitude was very good.

With the blessing of his predecessor's acting talent and his own experience mentality, Li Wenxing is also more comfortable with more and more entertainment, and begins to deliberately and gradually change the habits of living in a secluded and unsociable place as an otaku.

"Now, since everyone has seen it and known each other, let's ...... Isn't it going to dry up first?"

Seeing that the crowd of onlookers on the side gathered more and more, Li Wenxing proposed. This is thanks to the fact that it is the Spring Festival holiday, and everyone is still resting.

The most important thing for a rookie band is not to work but to gather popularity. It doesn't matter if you don't have a work, if you do, it will only be buried, because few people can appreciate it.

The most important thing for a rookie band is popularity, and with popularity, the fan base will get bigger and bigger. Once you have a fan base, especially a group of fans who are willing to pay for your performance, you can find musicians to write lyrics and compose records for your performance. As long as the record is not too scummy, the return is certain. And then there's the next packaging, publicity, which is the underground band's fame routine.

"Then we'll send a song to Xing Shao and let him see our strength. ”

Zhang Guorong saw that Li Wenxing gave face to his friends, and his mood also became cheerful. After all, I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and they have changed a lot, and I don't know if the other party is still the same person as before.

Okay now, a stone has landed, and all that's left is to show the true strength of your own band.

"Okay, everybody, let's start with "Sha La La La". ”

Zhang Guorong held the microphone in his hand and patted it a few times, and the sound of 'Tong Tong' came out of the power amplifier speaker, which attracted the attention of the band members and the focus of the onlookers.

Several band members also stood in place one after another, waiting for the instructions of the captain Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong looked back at the keyboardist and gave a thumbs up to signal him to start playing the soundtrack. Then he looked at Li Wenxing, blinked mischievously, and began to brew emotions.

Music plays.

First is the prelude, a brisk performance by keyboardists and drummers.

At the same time, Li Wenxing also slowly retreated to the front of the crowd, occupied the most frontal position and began to observe the singing status of everyone in the band.

I forgot to mention that when I was introduced just now, Li Wenxing knew that Zhang Guorong and their band also had a bright name - the Victor Band.

Of course, the name of the band was chosen at random, because there were no reports and rumors of their band in later generations, and it was probably just their own internal entertainment.

The Victors Band should be the predecessor of the Wenner Band, the Losers Band. The Losers also officially failed two years ago, only to regroup as Winner and were signed by PolyGram last year.

Wenna is a transliteration of the English Winners, which means victorious. Zhang Guorong and their band directly called the Chinese winner, but it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as they don't go out to make money under this name.

To be honest, Li Wenxing was quite happy to hear a classic old song like "Sha La La La" by chance.

Hearing this, Li Wenxing unconsciously folded his feet, nodded and beat the beat. Of course, there are people next to him who do this, and the strength of the band is still very good.

‘Shalalalala, shalala in the sunshine.’

‘Shalalalala, shalala in the evening.’

‘Shalalalala, shalala just for you.’

‘……’

may also be inspired by Li Wenxing's singing last night, under the intentional guidance of Zhang Guorong, several members of the band deliberately repeated the chorus and climax of the song several times in a row.

The effect of this is obvious, this paragraph itself has a good sense of rhythm and melodic beauty, and the lyrics are also easy to learn. When the song was rising, some people began to dance and start swaying.

Most of the people on the side are young people, but there are also many elementary and junior high school students who are a little younger. Influenced by the Western Beatles and hippie culture, there are no teenagers in this period who don't like rock and roll, don't like this kind of energetic rhythm music, don't you see that even Li Wenxing, an old driver, can't help but be led astray?

It's just that there are ups and downs, and no matter how hot the atmosphere is, it will be used to the end. After more than ten times, the onlookers began to gradually calm down, and the band slowly stopped.

When the band stopped completely, Li Wenxing took the lead in applauding.

It's not that Li Wenxing deliberately pursues it, it's that the band's performance is really good enough. Anyway, he may not be able to do better than others when he goes up on his own, not to mention that he doesn't know how to use these instruments at all. In comparison, Li Wenxing is a complete layman, not even an amateur.

Li Wenxing had not touched these instruments before he was reborn, and of course it was impossible for him to automatically master these skills as soon as he was reborn. Of course, his predecessor has no experience in this area, and he prefers to drill at home and ponder his acting skills in front of those seven or eight floor-to-ceiling mirrors.

"Rong Shao, what I didn't say, you are this. ”

When the applause fell, Li Wenxing stepped forward and gave two thumbs up to everyone.

"You guys played really well. It's me who underestimated you, at first I thought you were just amateur fools, a grass platform team. With your strength, if you can persevere, you will be the next Wenna, and you will definitely be able to become famous. ”

"Ha, thank you for raising your star so high. ”

can get Li Wenxing's praise, Zhang Guorong and the others are also very happy. With the personal experience of last night's scene, everyone also knows that Li Wenxing's singing strength is not bad, especially his talent in composing music and lyrics is super powerful.

It was a cappella, and it easily drove the audience to cry and sing along. What if it is accompanied by accompaniment?

"Xing Shao, don't just say good things and bring us high hats, from your professional point of view, what are our shortcomings?"

“…… Inadequacy?"

Li Wenxing was almost out of breath by Zhang Guorong's question. Insufficient? Still professional? Are we completely laymen? Do you want to be so high-minded?

However, the loser does not lose the battle, and at this time you must not show cowardice. In a flash, Li Wenxing immediately thought of the wording.

There's no way, on such an occasion, you have to be strong, you can't say that you have to lick your face and pretend to be another wave, which leads to the following topic by the way.
