Sitting in the air-conditioned tent, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly felt comfortable, and the layer of sweat on his whole body was blown into powder by the cool breeze, but his legs were a little uncomfortable, because the pants were basically soaked with sweat, and now they were attached to the skin, making Cheng Xiaoyu, who had always been a little clean, a little uncomfortable.

There was no sound of talking in the tent, and Lu Yang was not like a mad dog, he bit when he saw Chen Haoran, and after a period of peace, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that it would be a happy thing to be able to rest quietly until they came to the stage.

It didn't take long for "Dragon's Kiss" to be auditioned and performed, and many of the other bands were out to join in the fun, while the members of the Guilty Crown had no intention of going out at all.

Listening to the sound of various exploding guitar strums, powerful drum beats, and the shouts of the crowd outside the tent, the four of them continued to sit indifferently. For the members of the Guilty Crown, the energetic music outside lacks the kind of passion that makes people burn at a moment and the rhythm that continues to make people impulsive, and these Cheng Xiaoyu's music can do it lightly.

Until the members of the "Dragon's Kiss" band and some of the other bands performing on the Tang Dynasty stage returned to the tent, Cheng Xiaoyu's butts never left their chairs. At this time, the crowd that came in was also mixed with a hot and sexy little wild cat, Mo Lingshu.

As soon as Mo Lingshu came in, he saw Cheng Xiaoyu who was napping in a chair, and secretly said that it was a pity that such a talented guitarist didn't understand rock music, and she lacked interest in such a person.

So I was talking to a group of punk youths about how exciting the performance had just been, and how the Midi Festival had given them a new life. Because the living environment of a rock band in Huaxia is relatively embarrassing, strictly speaking, most Huaxia bands are amateur, that is, the so-called underground bands. Rehearse 1 or 2 times a week, and then participate in various underground performances, recordings, and release albums, all in my spare time. Whether it is from professional technical literacy or musical vision. Consciously speaking, the basic elements of underground band musicians are difficult to compare with professional musicians and musicians. But because of underground music, such as black metal. Some techniques and expressions of strong noise are rarely used in mainstream music, so in some musical subdivisions, underground bands will be more dazzling. Although they can express their opinions and feelings 100%, they can't make a living from their music.

But the advent of the Midi Festival and a large number of other music festivals has given a chance to such a rock youth who could only live on their dreams. An underground performance costs two or three thousand yuan. With an income of as little as two or three hundred yuan, each member of the band has enough money to take a taxi home, which is basically very good. But if your band can get the opportunity to perform at the festival, then your regular performance is estimated to sell out about 100 tickets per time, and the revenue of a single performance can reach three or four thousand yuan excluding the livehouse share. For a large-scale music festival like Midi, the performance fee is tens of thousands, and if you want, relying on a marathon year-round tour, the performance income may be a lot of savings after filling in the fare, accommodation fee, and food expenses.

The criterion for inviting other music festivals is to see if you have participated in the midi or not. Therefore, the significance of the midi to these underground rocks is self-evident, for them not only is it an excellent place to vent their emotions, so that they can find the confidence that is not recognized in mainstream society, but also an opportunity to make money and become famous. Although every rock youth disdains to talk about money, money is so important that without money, there is no way to maintain the music that they depend on.

It can be said that the poor musical environment in China has created such a group of naïve idealists, cynical dreamers, and self-righteous bitterness. I made up my own money to engrave a maximum of 666 copies of an album, and the sales volume is still a problem, so I usually engrave 66 copies, and how many copies can be sold count. At the poor point, carve 6 photos, and one band member will keep one as a souvenir, if there is one more. Whoever has a girlfriend will take it. But most of the time you can't take it out.

As the saying goes, rock and roll is poor for three generations, and metal ruins a lifetime. It's a pity that they can never recognize this, rock and roll who became a monk halfway through the road is not suitable for a career, and those rock bands abroad cannot be compared, because foreign bands are basically from junior colleges. Or they were born into musical families, and most of them also have a main business, and rock and roll is just a hobby.

Cheng Xiaoyu had long been woken up by the excited discussion of this group of people, as a pseudo-shake who was despised by these true shakes in his previous life, or called a little fresh earth shake, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have much prejudice against the real shakers, but helplessly the real shake discriminated against them, not prejudice, prejudice, then they all look up to you.

Cheng Xiaoyu heard that their topic gradually slipped towards pop, pseudo-shake and true shake, Cheng Xiaoyu knew that something was wrong, got up and moved another position, and moved a little farther away from this group of punks. Take the previous life as an example, those who listen to second-hand roses and induce the society look down on those who listen to Beyond, and those who listen to Beyond look down on Mayday. Listening to Mayday looks down on those who listen to the Phoenix Legend, and basically no one who listens to the Phoenix Legend can afford it too much (they are all uncles and aunts, fans don't beat me). And the more niche the band's supporters, the more they feel that they know what real rock is, and the more they like to laugh at people who like "popular" bands. The more well-known and commercially successful it is, the easier it is to be criticized as pseudo-rock.

BEYOND is considered by punk youth to be a migrant rock (earth rock), not to mention that the music presented now is basically a sin crown of pop elements.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt cold behind him at this time, and felt that there was already a disdainful gaze on him, and turned his head to look over, but it was not Lu Yang, but Mo Lingshu.

The eyes of the two collided in the air, and Mo Lingshu was still a little worried that Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that her proudest father, so he asked the young man next to him, "Which band is this?"

Mohican came back to "Oh, a bunch of pop kids, a bit of a celebrity online. What is it called?" Moshican couldn't remember for a moment, so he turned his head and shouted, "Little fat man, what's your band called?"

Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at Namoxigan and said sullenly, "Crown of Sin." ”

Then there were a few sneers in the tent, in fact, they had basically never heard of the works of the "Crown of Sin", but the disdain for the pop had become their physiological instinct.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't bother to care, because he was too unkind to these small fish and shrimp with a big killing weapon in his hand, and he could even imagine that after today, in addition to the "Guilty Crown", there would be a band in Huaxia that dared to call itself a rock band.

Chen Haoran has been listening to music with his CD player, and after listening to the boss for a while, he feels bored again. patted Cheng Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoyu, introduce a little bit, you think you can go to the rock band." ”

Chen Haoran always thought that Cheng Xiaoyu only listened to foreign bands, and he didn't think that Cheng Xiaoyu had basically not been exposed to rock in this time and space, he felt that the band that could be seen by Cheng Xiaoyu's taste must be good. As a result, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't even know a single hair, so he could only helplessly say to Chen Haoran, "I don't have the habit of remembering my name when I listen to music, and there are many rock bands that I forget after listening to them, there are really few rock bands that can only be remembered by me." Cheng Xiaoyu is also telling the truth, the level of European and American rock in this world. is not as high as in his previous life, he listens to music inherently, so it is normal for him to listen to it without him.

Mo Lingshu was really angry when he heard this, and the punk youths around him also felt that today was a sight, and they were usually crazy enough, but today they actually saw someone who was even more crazy than themselves, and most of them suddenly felt angry and funny.

Originally, I heard Jia Ping say that this little fat man had some background, and Lu Yang didn't plan to continue to look for trouble, but this little fat man jumped out to find a draw by himself, and he really couldn't blame him for jumping out to add fuel to the fire. Lu Yang laughed dryly and said, ", a little kid who plays pop, his tone is really big, Made, the Great Wall of Toys doesn't know, and he dares to come out to participate in the music festival?"

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't want to explain more, so he smiled and directly said what he said yesterday, "I said it yesterday, it's not that I don't know the Great Wall of Toys." I don't know any of the bands in Huaxia. In fact, when he said this, he also had some thoughts in his heart to vent his displeasure with the truth, why do you look down on people?

This laugh was undoubtedly a shot in the hearts of the punk youth, all the real shaken youth. There is only one sentence in my mind: "Lao Tzu B has not been put out yet, you fool who plays popular sex dare to laugh?"

Now the Crown of Sin has become the target of everyone, and a circle of national scolding is coming, but the members of the Crown of Sin are still safe.

Mo Lingshu still had a little pity for Cheng Xiaoyu at this time, and walked up to Cheng Xiaoyu and asked, "Do you know what rock 'n' roll is?"

Cheng Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and said, "I know." Rock is music. ”

Mo Lingshu was also angered by Cheng Xiaoyu's disapproving attitude, and said loudly, "Rock is a sincere attitude towards music, a way of life facing oneself, freedom, revolution, and faith." ”

There was applause.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Mo Lingshu seriously, put on smoky makeup, very bewitching and beautiful face, and said, "What you said is the spirit of rock and roll, not rock and roll." ”

Mo Lingshu was choked by Cheng Xiaoyu, and the word "you" floated in the air for a long time without a follow-up.

So a group of punks came over and surrounded them, and someone said, "This kid, I really don't see the coffin, I don't shed tears, I just cut in the queue, and I coaxed a few cow Bs, what about the smoke?"

Someone said, "Playing with a pen, playing with pop and playing with a sense of superiority!" Do you know how many strings there are on the guitar?"

Someone said, "Lingshu, you and a pop band to discuss rock, it's too cheap." They know how to hang their hair!"

Cheng Xiaoyu was a little annoyed by the chattering punk youths, and when he stood up and shouted for the members of the Crown of Sin to leave the tent and walk out, the punk youths thought they had won, followed by the sound of mockery of the Crown of Sin, as well as scolding and boos.

Cheng Xiaoyu opened the curtain and motioned to Xia Shamo for them to go out first, and when they all walked a little farther, Cheng Xiaoyu said loudly to Mo Lingshu inside, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to target you, but if you really want to discuss rock and roll, I mean everyone here is rubbish." As soon as the words fell, Cheng Xiaoyu put down the curtain and ran out without looking back, and the other members of the Guilty Crown followed without knowing why.

Then there was a thick rock 'n' roll shouting behind him again. (To be continued.) )
