Lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist: Tang Yu.

Lead guitarist: Li Qing.

Bassist: Lina Cao.

Drummer: Sun Tianpeng.

Keyboardist: Zhou Xiaolin.

The five of them took their places, and everyone remembered that they hadn't decided what to sing yet.

Before, they thought that the assessment would be for each person individually, but they didn't expect it to be the whole band together, so they didn't prepare at all.

"Do you want to sing Huang Jingrong's "Life is Better Than Death"?" Drummer Sun Tianpeng suggested that he liked the explosive drums in the song, which was perfect for him to show off his skills.

"I think it's better to be "Confused" by the Wuji Band." Keyboardist Zhou Xiaolin also expressed his opinion.

"The Lamb by the Thorn Girl." Bassist Cao Lina said that this is one of her favorite bands.

Tang Yu didn't express his opinion, but looked at Li Qing: "Xiao Li, what do you think is good to play?" ”

Li Qing said: "I can do anything." ”

As soon as Li Qing's voice came out, everyone's faces were different, because this hoarse and shriveled voice came out of a teenager's mouth was too strange.

"Then sing Huang Jingrong's "Never Admit Defeat". Tang Yu is the finalist, he is the initiator of this band, and he has to have his own right to speak.

The others hesitated, saying that there was no point.

Huang Jingrong is an iconic figure in the rock industry, and everyone will naturally not have heard his songs, not to mention that "Never Admit Defeat" is his famous song, which is very classic.

Before the performance, Tang Yu asked Li Qing if there was any problem, several of them had played in the band, and naturally rehearsed this classic song, and there was no problem at all. Although Tang Yu knew that Li Qing's music level was very high, he had never played in a band after all, and it would be very troublesome if he didn't cooperate well at that time.

"No problem." Li Qing made an OK gesture.

"Okay, let's get started."

Tang Yu played a few tunes first, and then "dong dong dong", Sun Tianpeng's drum sounded, beating slowly.

"If I bow my head,"

"I'll lose,"

Tang Yu's voice is strong and magnetic, and he is completely qualified as a lead singer.

Li Qing nodded slowly along with the melody, and when the time was right, he began to insert guitar harmonies, which were very natural and smooth.

At this point, the song reaches its climax.

Knock knock!

The fierce drums ignite the passion.

On the other side, Zhou Xiaolin's passionate piano sound also joined in.

Along with it, there is also the sound of the bass mixed in.

At the end of the song, Li Qing stood up and finished with a perfect guitar solo.

Bang bang bang.

Father Li clapped and walked towards everyone: "Congratulations on passing the test." ”

Tang Yu instantly hugged Li Qing excitedly, great, I finally got you.

Although Cao Lina and others did not have such a big reaction, it means that their band has gathered the number of people, which is still a very happy thing.

Li Qing was also a little excited, he could feel that everyone loved music, he liked this atmosphere very much, it was much more pleasant than practicing in a room by himself.

restaurant, everyone gathered to celebrate.

Full of wine and food, Father Li said to everyone: "From now on, I will hand over Qingzai to you, I hope you will help me take good care of him." ”

"Of course, from now on, we are all brothers, and Qingzai's business is our business." Drummer Sun Tianpeng patted his chest and said.

"Don't worry, you will never let Qingzai suffer a little grievance." Zhou Xiaolin, who was a bit of a sissy, put his arm around Li Qing's shoulders and said, "Qingzai is too thin, stay with me, I promise to raise him to be chubby." ”

Li Qing couldn't help but shudder.

"Get out, Qingzi is mine." Cao Lina pulled Li Qing into her arms and clung tightly, "I will let Qingzai feel the care of mother's love." ”

Tang Yu said to Father Li with a serious face: "I will make him a man." ”

Father Li nodded with satisfaction and drank all the wine in the cup.

The next day, Li's father took Li Qing to go through the withdrawal procedures.

In the afternoon of the same day, he simply packed up his salute and got into the van rented by Tang Yu and others at the school gate.

The van sped all the way to the train station.

Together, they boarded the train to Yuedong Province, where they will begin their new journey.

……

On Thursday, January 13th, the 9th issue of "Breaking the Waves" began to be released.

20,000 copies were sold out in the morning.

Liu Min only got the book at noon, and after getting the book, she immediately turned to the number of pages where "Lingqin Killer" was, and then read it with relish.

After reading it, she thought it was a good story, but she always felt that something was missing.

In a certain high school, Li Junlin also bought a copy of "Breaking the Waves".

Like most people, he came for "Phantom City", and last time he confiscated one of his students' books, and was immediately attracted by the world described in "Phantom City".

So after learning that Hua Manlou had a new work, he did not hesitate to buy a "Breaking Waves".

Judging from the name, "Lingqin Killer" is still very attractive, however, when Li Junlin finished reading this novel, he was disappointed, this is not what he wants to see.

Forum Under the Moon.

After watching "Lingqin Killer", many people are in a similar mood to Li Junlin, they are too disappointed, and they don't have the amazing sense of "Phantom City" at all.

As a result, some negative remarks began to appear in the forum.

[Is it strength or luck? 】

[Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted!! 】

[After reading the new work of Hua Manlou, I was disappointed]

[Comparing Hua Manlou with Han Dong and Wang Mao is a complete joke]

[A meteor in the literary world]

These posts have a lot of replies in them, and they are divided into two factions to fight.

Hua Manlou's supporters believe that he is not as talented as Jiang Lang, and "Lingqin Killer" is not as bad as he said, except for the cliché of the story, it can be regarded as a first-class work.

However, this point of view is not shared by most people, and most people feel that the second book is not as good as the first book, which means that you have regressed, and regression means that Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents.

Anyway, in the eyes of some people who are extreme, if there is a black spot, they will be black, and they will not show mercy.

Breaking the Waves Magazine.

All the editors are here.

Naturally, the discussion is full of flowers.

An editor surnamed Wang said: "I have always disapproved of signing Huamanlou at such a high price, but now that I see it, the second book is going downhill." ”

Another editor surnamed Lin echoed: "I also think this deal is not worth it, I watched "Lingqin Killer", it was okay a few years ago, but now, it is a bit outdated." ”

Ye Ziwei retorted: "I think your vision is too narrow, "Lingqin Killer" is not as bad as you think, and which author has not had a trough?" Who can always grasp the market trend? I believe that Hua Manlou's strength is obvious to all, since he can write "Phantom City", he will definitely be able to write better works than "Phantom City". ”

A few men were silent, Ye Ziwei was a rare beauty in the editorial department, and everyone didn't want to annoy her because of contradicting her.

The man was silent, and the woman couldn't help but say in a weird manner: "That's what I said, that's what I said, but who doesn't know that you are his editor-in-charge, and it's normal to speak for your own author, but in my opinion, Hua Manlou is just a waste of fame." ”

Ye Ziwei looked at the female editor and said, "Who do you say is famous?" Full of flowers? Who is the reason for the sales of "Breaking the Waves" now? Is it your men who are fighting on the streets? ”

"Who do you say is hitting the streets? They are the mainstay of the magazine, you know? Without them, the magazine would have collapsed long ago. ”

"Come on, who doesn't know that those people are third-rate writers you poached from some magazines, if it weren't for the fact that the magazine was newly opened and didn't have any fame, do you think those manuscripts would be usable? is also a mainstay, laughing to death. Ye Ziwei is not to be outdone, she has no usual image of a lady at all.

The female editor said angrily: "Aren't you just relying on a Hua Manlou, believe it or not, I'm looking for someone more powerful than Hua Manlou to come over?" ”

"You're looking for it." Ye Ziwei clasped her hands on her chest, not to be outdone.

"We'll see." The female editor ran out in a huff and made a phone call.
