On the phone, Xiao Mu, Qian Ning, and Fang Yan had a short meeting.

Xiao Mu talked about the exclusive contract again, but he didn't show credit, pretending that he played a role, just telling the truth. He finished slowly, and Qian Ning and Fang Yan were also stunned.

"I want to be quiet. Fang Yan said.

20 million cash + 5 million advertising resources in exchange for 2 years of exclusive cooperation. Just send some videos and music, no strings attached.

"You don't need Fang Yan to endorse or advertise them, right?"

"Not at all. ”

"So, what about our own APP? Can we still send videos?"

"Absolutely. ”

The App of the Nameless Tavern is not affected. According to the plan, the video was originally to be posted on Galaxy Video and then quoted in the APP. The company is too small to build a video server on its own, and it can't afford to spend that money.

Channing fell into deep thought.

Fang Yan's performances in the tavern are all covers of other people's songs, which have no copyright and cannot be used for commercial purposes. That is, it cannot be sold for money. She asked again: "If it's their competitor, how much can the exclusive give to multi-cloud video?"

"If we come to the door, the cloud video will definitely grab it. They throw money harder, I think 40 million is possible. Kogi said.

"What do you think?"

"I'll choose Galaxy Video. My personal opinion is that compared with cloudy, Galaxy Video is more reliable, and it is ...... I'm more familiar with it, I know the roots, and the communication is smoother. ”

After the establishment of the Nameless Tavern Company, Qian Ning applied for commercial insurance for each regular employee, and Xiao Mu's previous work information was no longer a secret. He is the music editor-in-chief of a large online video company, and in the end, he only hid it from Lao Liu.

"Okay, listen to you. Channing said.

"Huh?"

"We don't understand. Channing laughed.

For a moment, Xiao Mu had a good impression of Qian Ning, who was 3 years younger than himself and did things neatly. Trust me so much? This girl was born to be a boss.

Xiao Mu closed the line, and Xia Yan and Qian Ning were still left on the phone, and the two were silent for a while. Seems to say something. Channing asked, "Hey, what do you think?" ”

"We're not worth that much money. ”

"It's not worth it now, but what about 2 years from now? Right?"

"Hmm. ”

"You have to think about how to spend this money. What are you doing?"

"I'm at Dawn University. The Scrapwood Band participated in the semi-finals today, and we ......"

Channing listened, and was annoyed again. The company's progress in developing the APP is very tight, and it can't be delayed for a day, and the waste firewood is still playing some band competition. It must have been instigated by Fang Yan and Yuan Yuan. She was busy to death every day, but Fang Yan was still dragging her feet.

Fang Yan keenly sensed Qian Ning's anger, and hurriedly said good things for the group of 4 people who were scrap wood.

"Zhenyu, they work very hard, I went to see it yesterday, they work day and night, very hard. ”

"It's useless to try. I just look at the results. ”

“……”

Qian Ning said coldly: "Yu Haiyang and they are not qualified engineers, their level is low, they are inexperienced, and they are lazy. Such a simple APP, not even a demo has been made, I have put up with them for a long time. ”

"It's been ...... a few days"

"Yu Haiyang has repeatedly assured me that the beta version can be released before September 10, and now the progress is seriously delayed. Tell you, if it doesn't work, I'll replace it, outsource it, and they'll do it. ”

"It's all friends......

"Yes. Since we're friends, let's just be friends. Don't want options. If you look at the rest of the company, Xia Mo is in charge of the online store alone, so hard, better than them combined. ”

“……”

Fang Yan finally understood why the 4-member group of the Scrap Wood Band was so afraid of Channing. He walked back silently.

The semi-final of the Jiangdong University Band Competition was divided into 2 games, the competition venue borrowed the gymnasium of Chenxi University, and at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the 4-member group of the Waste Wood Band stood outside to smoke, accompanied by Yuan Yuan and Feng Lu.

"Hahaha. Yang Zhenyu chuckled in a low voice.

Fang Yan walked back and said leisurely: "APP, hurry up." ”

Yang Zhenyu couldn't laugh anymore.

Now, the company is ready to expand, Channing is ready to recruit all kinds of talents, only the APP development department has no plans to recruit. The reason is very simple, recruiting any engineer is better than a 4-member group of scrapwood bands. Yu Haiyang, as the person in charge, is unacceptable.

"Bad guys, you see. ”

"Huh?"

"Look over here. Nice tattoo!"

The semi-finals have begun, and there are audiences and bands from various schools going in one after another. A group of men and women passed by, and a girl with dyed red hair had a huge colorful tattoo on her exposed shoulder, like a dragon with teeth and claws.

"What did you draw?" Fang Yan asked in a low voice.

"It's familiar. ”

"That's right. ”

"Dungeons & Dragons. ”

"No, it's the cover of some kind of album. ”

"Dinosaurs?"

The scrapwood bands all craned their necks, carefully observed, and whispered.

The girl stopped, turned her head, rolled her eyes angrily, and said, "Don't stare at other people's tattoos, it's rude, you know." ”

"Oh. ”

"I'm sorry. Yu Haiyang looked unorthodox, and said in a smooth tone.

The girl didn't say anything more, returned her hand with a hard middle finger, and walked away.

Dawn University has opened, and it is full of reports of freshmen and parents, colorful flags are flying on the campus, and all kinds of people are running around, which is very lively.

However, the scene of the college band competition was a little deserted, and there was no expected grand occasion. There were about 1,000 people seated in the stadium, and many seats in the stands were empty. A stage was set up in the middle of the basketball arena, and a band was singing.

Off the stage, various bands lined up, waiting in a mess to get on the stage.

Fang Yan, Yuan Yuan, and Feng Lu returned to their seats.

Feng Lu explained: "Because "Chinese Singer" is so successful, everyone is watching TV, and the college band competition is only a regional competition, no one pays attention to it, and there are not many sponsors. Singers too, high-level people all went to participate in "Chinese Singer". ”

Fang Yan asked, "Are they webcasts?"

"That's right. Without good platform support, promotion is not enough...... And most importantly, fans prefer an individual, a singer, not a band. ”

And that's just one aspect. Fang Yan thought that the level of this band competition was also very average. Like some brilliant underground bands, they are certainly reluctant to participate in this kind of commercial competition.

There were 5 people in the band on the stage, singing soft original songs, and at the end of a song, there was sparse applause and whistles from the audience.

"Are you hungry?" Fang Yan took Yuan Yuan's hand and asked her. In order to participate in the competition, everyone has not eaten lunch.

"Not hungry. ”

"Zhenyu, are they coming soon?"

"It's coming. ”

"Let's leave after singing, and hurry to dinner. Fang Yan sighed and said. "Give them a crush. ”

Yang Zhenyu, Yu Haiyang, Ding Bo, and Tiger stood under the stage, silently thinking about the problem of making their own APP. The strength of the band is too weak, it is purely for a play, and there is nothing to prepare.

During the waiting time, Yu Haiyang couldn't bear the loneliness, scurrying around the crowd, giggling and chatting with the familiar musicians.

The host on the stage is the announcer of the Jiangdong City Radio Station, who is not tall and has a very magnetic voice. He introduced each band to the audience.

"Below is the Scrapwood Band. ”

Boom Boom Boom ...... In the stands of the spectators, there was a sensational sound, followed by loud applause throughout the stadium, accompanied by whistles and affectionate cheers.

"Scrap wood!"

"Scrapwood Band~!"

Fang Yan and a few people were shocked. What's going on, the popularity of the Scrapwood Band is high?

In particular, I would like to introduce that Yu Haiyang, the lead singer of the Waste Wood Band, and Yang Zhenyu, the lead guitar, showed amazing strength in the competition of "Chinese Singer" and passed the audition. This is unique in our college band competition. ”

"Oooh!" the audience shouted happily.

I see.

"In addition, Yang Zhenyu is not only the true body of the Internet celebrity Brother Lost Soul, according to unreliable sources on the Internet, he is also a student of the wizard, and his strength is extraordinary!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Wizard!"

The audience was in a mess, and the mountains and seas swored applause. No, it's a tsunami.

The four-member group of the Waste Wood Band stood on the stage, very proud, Yu Haiyang turned down Mike, and waved to the audience with a smile on his face. The psychological quality of the 4 people is very bad, but the rematch can't pass at all, just play casually, and there is no psychological burden at all.

Wood has a stage, wood has an audition, standing on the stage, 4 people are full of thoughts about APP.

Now just think about one thing.

"Which one shall we play?" the tiger sat on the stool, his eyes widened, and a pair of large hands slowly turned the drum stick. With a click, a small stick fell to the ground and rolled.

"yes, what's the song?"

"Whatever!"

All three of them ran to the tiger and buried their heads in the discussion. Fang Yan revised a version of "Far Away" before, as the original of the band, but they haven't rehearsed it yet.

"Sing what?"

After the male host finished the introduction, he summoned Yang Zhenyu to do a simple interview. The previous bands didn't have this treatment.

"Brother Lost Soul, I want you to confirm, are you a student of the wizard?"

"This ......" Mike stretched out to his lips, and Yang Zhenyu muttered. Although he was Fang Yan's eldest disciple, he didn't learn anything, and he was stunned for a while.

"Hehehe. The wizard is still so mysterious. The host thought that he didn't want to admit it, and he didn't entangle, so he played a round and continued to ask. "Do you have anything to say to the audience and fans?"

"......" actually didn't.

Yu Haiyang jumped over from behind, squeezed Yang Zhenyu away, shook his hair, took a deep breath, with tears in his eyes, and said to Mai: "CEO, I won't let you down!"

The host was a little dazed and asked, "What CEO?"

There was a buzz from the audience. Yuan Yuan stood up suddenly, put her hands together around her mouth, and yelled at the stage: "Come on!"

"Sit down. ”

"Oh. ”

The Waste Wood Band began to perform, and Yang Zhenyu and Yu Haiyang both played the same rhythm on both guitars, sweeping the strings in unison, and opened a very dry distorted tone. Timbo's bass was heavy and joined in. The tiger beats the simplest rhythm.

Knock knock knock.

Yuan Yuan was happy and said, "Punk." ”

"Yes. ”

Punk is a very old rock genre that took off in the 1970s. It is characterized by super-fast rhythms, simple triads, simple lyrics and melodies. Everything is simple.

In the world of punk music, three chords are enough. Because the three chords I, IV, and V form a circle that covers all the notes on the scale. It's monotonous, but it's enough.

The threshold is relatively low.

Often, friends are treated as a rejection of everything and a dismissive attitude towards life. Rejecting the values of the mainstream world, dressed in tatters, not going to school, not going to work, not singing well. It is a continuation of the social trend of thought after World War II.

When the war ended in 1945, the world was at peace, and soon there was a wave of fertility. The generation born after the war went to university in the 1960s and found that the world was not very good.

The world was divided into two camps, the United States and the Soviet Union, the Iron Curtain of the Cold War and the shadow of nuclear war, which were gloomy and boring. And, of course, there are dogmatic conservative values.

So, a new generation of young people shattered all this.

It's a pity that after breaking it, everyone found that it was not interesting. The world entered the "post-modern" and punk was born. All kinds of weird dresses, who loves who attitudes, against everything, I don't play with you...... Something like this.

It comes from the middle class, the wealthier but not very wealthy part of society, and it doesn't really have much depth of thought.

Punk is a non-mainstream culture, but for a while, it became mainstream.

Although under the banner of opposing commerce, punk and punk culture are actually highly commercialized. The Ramones in the United States and The Sex Pistols in the United Kingdom have both made crazy money.

The history of punk is the history of the death of youth. It is ironic to think that the post-war generation of children in the West became the backbone of society in the 1990s, when they were 40 or 50 years old, but instead became the most vulgar and conservative group of people.

However, the influence of punk is still there, it continues to evolve, evolving into all kinds of complex styles, and the world is a little bit better as a result.

Yu Haiyang sings in English.

"20, 20, 24 hours, I want to be quiet. I have nothing to do, no place to go, I want to be quiet. ”

“……”

The song "I want to be Sedated" (Sedate means sedative) is an old song by the band Raymonds, which is particularly nice and has a gray and silly atmosphere, which makes people want to laugh inexplicably.

"Put me in a wheelchair, push me to the show, hurry up, hurry up, I'm going crazy. ”

On the stage, Yang Zhenyu played the guitar extremely relaxed, playing the backbeat, and the sound was accurately controlled with his right hand, which was actually very good. The band was unprepared, not even bringing effects.

Yu Haiyang's guitar also plays well. Timbo's bass is heavy, and the jumping notes pop out, which is both porcelain and smart. The tiger beat the drum violently, understood the big, understood the big, and looked cute.

The band is perfectly matched. No way, this song is too simple, the Waste Wood Band has been practicing eighth notes, and it is difficult to think of disharmony.

Fang Yan listened silently, feeling that the Waste Wood Band was still saved. Or did they have a tacit understanding because they wrote code overnight?

After Yu Haiyang finished singing the first stanza, he stopped playing the guitar, picked up the microphone, and staggered to Ding Bo's side to let Ding Bo sing the second stanza. Then there is Yang Zhenyu.

"Tiger!" Yu Haiyang stretched Mike out to the tiger's eyes again, and the tiger shook his head.

“……”

Yang Zhenyu suddenly stopped playing the rhythm, changed the gear of the pickup, and played a simple and bright melody. The voice is tough, and there is a bit of anger, as if he is venting the mental stimulation of developing an APP. He really wanted to be quiet.

"It's amazing......" Yuan Yuan was shocked.

"He'll be Solo!" Feng Lu was also shocked.

Good!

"Bang bang bang, help help bang, I want to ...... quietly" Yu Haiyang jumped back again, played the rhythm, kept repeating this sentence in Solo, and finished singing this stupid song.

"Oh oh oh!"

"Awesome!

"Okay!"

After only 2 minutes of performance, sweat broke out on Yu Haiyang's forehead. The response from the audience was enthusiastic and thunderous applause. After the resumption of the match, the stadium has not been so lively. Although the people in the other bands were very disdainful, they were also very happy, grinning and chirping on the side.

"Come on!" Yuan Yuan stood up again and yelled at the stage.

"Waste wood!" Fang Yan also roared.

"Hahaha!" Feng Lule was crooked.

Punk...... Fang Yan applauded vigorously, and suddenly thought that punk music is not too demanding on technology, maybe the scrap wood band can engage in punk.

"Good!"

After singing "I Want to Be Quiet", the Waste Wood Band bowed in a mess, fled collectively, jumped off the stage in line, and ran away in a smoke.
