Chapter 162: Punk
In the data room at home, Li Shanhe cleared out all the materials on the North Road and replaced them with Yukio Mishima's. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This guy is very powerful. On the surface, the world knows him as a great writer, a writer without discounts. Whether it is "Chaosao" or "Kinkakuji", they are both world-renowned masterpieces. Especially "The Sea of Plenty", which is now being serialized, has pushed his fame to a higher level.
is not only powerful in literature, but also strong in money, it is obviously a literary work, but this book is a big seller, if it weren't for Li Shanhe relying on "Japan Sinking" to win back a city, relying on other novels alone, the sales volume is completely comparable to this guy. With the funds from the sale of books, he formed a paramilitary organization, the Shield of Japan.
Li Shanhe searched for the information of the Japanese shield in detail. This organization is aimed at the second generation of X-generation people in Japan, absorbing them and transforming their thinking into the right-wing. And at a time when the whole people discriminated against the military profession, they also took the members of the organization to train at the base of the Self-Defense Forces. The teenagers of the organization are fanatical in their worship of Mishima, and even when they go out on the streets on weekdays, they wear military uniforms, and a few of the key members even carry swords.
Yukio Mishima is a very charismatic person, otherwise he would not have become a leader and be adored by so many young people. However, the more capable a person is, the more dangerous he is.
No matter where you look at it, it's the leader of the final boss, and it's not on the same level at all as someone with a poor character like Beidalu.

The way Li Shanhe can think of now is to use the curve to save the country. Literally, Yukio Mishima has reached the top, and there is almost no way to surpass him. But if you gain fame in the music industry, you may have a way to fight it. Because no matter how bad the reputation of the mainstream band is, shouting two sentences of "anti-war" and "anti-fascist", this is political correctness.
During this time, Li Shanhe, Kyoko and Taro rehearsed new songs together. He taught the apricot bass technique, which was a quick fix that he had used before.
Sort the area on the neck with English numbers, and then correspond to the computer keyboard, so that you can stumble and play a good song in a day. This method was invented by a fat programmer named Wang Yongting in the future, he was looking for someone in the United States, his wallet was stolen, and his spoken language was not good, relying on this method to study the guitar for three days, and he was filmed on the street performance, and his unique anti-guitar posture caused a sensation all of a sudden. Known as the Prince of Guitars, he has cramps in his fingers when he sells books alone.
After the apricot's bass worked, Li Shanhe finally decided not to sing Japanese songs in the next song. Japan is so small that a few songs have already conquered it.
Kyoko wants to be famous, but she is afraid of practice. She wanted to ask, is there a band that can be famous without too many songs? Li Shanhe said with a smile, write a niche song, and then commit suicide immediately, to ensure that someone will commemorate you in a hundred years.
What Li Shanhe wants is to gain both sales and word of mouth. Niche songs have a word of mouth, but they have been accumulating for too long before becoming famous. He wants to write saliva songs, but he can't blindly saliva, he still has to pursue.
In the communication with Taro and Apricot, Li Shanhe elaborated on his musical concept:
No matter how beautiful the melody is, it must be limited to the level of appreciation of ordinary people. If you haven't heard it thousands of times, if you don't happen to encounter a moving scene in a movie/TV when listening to these songs, and the two are reflexively linked, it is difficult for famous songs not to move ordinary people, because ordinary people have limited appreciation
And now 90% of popular songs can't actually impress foreigners. The main reason is that I can't understand the lyrics. The power of the song is greatly diminished.
Pop songs that can break through language barriers and make ordinary people cry may not be able to produce a single palm in a year.
Therefore, Li Shanhe chose another direction: rhythm!
Rhythm is the common pursuit of all songs, from "Gangnam Style" to African primitive tribal songs, all of which have a strong sense of rhythm. This is a shortcut to becoming a god.
With this, Li Shanhe decided on the song this time.
Sony Records' preliminary preparations for the development of Europe and the United States have also been made, and the O2 band immediately released their first English album "I_love_rock_roll", which is Li Shanhe's consistent style, with a strong sense of rhythm and grandiose atmosphere. The lyrics are also very good, simple and to the point.
As soon as I heard that strong sense of rhythm, the entire Sony company was boiling, and the blind could hear it, and it was impossible for the music not to be popular this time!
In fact, it is. As soon as this song landed in Europe and the United States, it immediately set off a frenzy. broke through again and again on the rankings, killing all sides, and even in the United States, directly kicked the current rock emperor Beatles off the top of the list.
Although the Beatles' songs are good, they are still dominated by human voices after all. The O2 band's "epoch-making" bold use of equipment effects sounds, which is on par with the share of vocals, and with rhythmic music, it became popular all over Europe and the United States.
You can laugh at the simplicity of the lyrics, but you can't deny that the rhythm makes you want to sway along. This is the charm that transcends the times.
The Beatles in Europe and the United States are not one-sided praises. When the Beatles landed in the United States, they were called "British Invasion" by the newspapers, and now that the Beatles have suffered Waterloo, many people are waiting to see the joke. In addition, during the Beatles world tour, he said in the United States, "You don't need to look at God anymore, we are more popular than God now", which annoyed many religious people.
When the news returned to the UK, there was also a big uproar.
On the contrary, it was the Beatles themselves, and the news was even more backward.
The Beatles were formed by four people, and this band is typical of the people who can share hardships and hardships, but they cannot share prosperity and prosperity. The conflict between the four was already obvious, and even in the rehearsal room, John Lennon brought his wife here, and got into a fight.
John Lennon's wife is Yoko Ono, and like many celebrity Asian wives, she is not pretty. But Lennon just loves her madness.
When she iced Lennon's face for bruises, Lennon was complaining that he was fed up. At this time, their agent brought a record of the band O2.
"You've been dumped by other bands!" The broker says so.
After listening to "I_love_rock_roll", Lennon was surprised to find that the band was composed of three children who were still in high school, one of whom was Chinese and two Japanese.
The song gave him an incomparable shock, and the all-round innovation made Lennon fall to the ground. Coupled with Yoko Ono's persuasion, Lennon immediately decided to go to Japan and wanted to poach this singer named River to form a new Beatle.
Of course, he didn't have this plan, he was just talking angry and trying to be angry with his teammates.
Paul McCartney said bitterly, "Are you really going to Japan?" Aren't you afraid of dying? ”
Before their world tour, they were scared back in Japan. Because the venue they rent is a budokan. In later generations, there were countless singers who held concerts at the Budokan Museum, but it was the first of its kind in this era. Thinking that "the Budokan carries the Japanese way of bushido", the right flank charged at the Beatles' security team, scaring them into fleeing overnight.
McCartney's meanness strengthened Lennon's convictions.
As soon as the Beatles moved, it was a big event, and countless media were staring at it. The tabloids got the news in advance and ran to Japan to step on the layout, and the momentum was so great that it was comparable to the Chinese emperor's trip.

At this time, Li Shanhe was helping Zhang Jie apply for permanent residency, Zhang Jie was going to get engaged to his girlfriend, and as the best man, he had to come forward to help. The procedure is very cumbersome, and even if someone helps, there are a lot of forms to fill out.
Suddenly, many overseas Chinese in Japan came to ask for a meeting, and it turned out that these people misunderstood that Li Shanhe wanted to become a naturalized citizen. It is divided into two factions, one is led by Yokohama Chinatown, hoping that the protagonist will become the spokesperson of overseas Chinese; The other part persuaded Li Shanhe to change his nationality quickly. Even Shintaro Ishihara joined in.
Inexplicably, Li Shanhe watched TV and learned that the Beatles were visiting Japan, and asked to meet the O2 band by name. Many people want to take advantage of the opportunity to speculate, and if Li Shanhe becomes a Japanese citizen, then this matter will be the supreme glory of Japan in the cultural world.
After Li Shanhe refused, he was verbally threatened by many politicians, especially Shintaro Ishihara, who threatened to use the power of the state to give Li Shanhe a good look.
There was pressure from the top of Sony, and it was a little difficult politically, and even Fujiko Fujio came to look for it, it turned out that "Doraemon" was very popular, and Prime Minister Eisaku Sato was implementing the "Cool Japan" plan and wanted to put "Doraemon" into the promotion, but the copyright of "Doraemon" was in the hands of Li Shanhe, and if he did not become a Japanese citizen, it was unlikely to be promoted by the state.
At this time, there was a big news.
John Lennon was interviewed at the airport, saying that this time it was a private indulgence, and he only wanted to invite Li Shanhe to join the Beatles, and it had nothing to do with the rest of the O2 band, nor did it have anything to do with Japan.
The expectations at the front were too high, and the contrast was too great for many right-wingers to accept, and then there was chaos, and there was a riot at the airport. A right-wing veteran rushed over and knocked Lennon to the ground.
Lennon's injury attracted international attention, and after a detailed examination, Lennon's throat was injured and he may no longer be able to sing. The condemnation was overwhelming, and the angry letters received by the Japanese embassy every day were packed in sacks. Japan's reputation stinked to the bottom all of a sudden.
Li Shanhe has always avoided being on camera, but he didn't expect so much news to be made in the first album. Now that the British high-level has put pressure on Japan, Eisaku Sato personally approached Li Shanhe and hoped that he would come forward and intercede with the Japanese government. In its place was the punishment of the politicians who had gone before.
No matter how reluctant it is, it's time to come forward. In the hospital, surrounded by countless prayer fans, Li Shanhe saw Lennon, who was indeed injured, but not as badly as rumored - it turned out that he was still pressuring his teammates.
Lennon praised Li Shanhe's musical talent, and now he really wanted Li Shanhe to join the Beatles, but Li Shanhe declined. Instead, he got acquainted with his wife, Yoko Ono.
Yoko Ono, the English word meaning in English, is "someone who destroys team relationships". It has been said in the media that the Beatles' civil strife was because of Yoko Ono.
Li Shanhe quoted Chen Yuanyuan's deeds and won the favor of Yoko Ono. With her help, he accepted the invitation of the Beatles with the intention of participating in the Reading Rock Festival.
Then, the two held a press conference together, and Lennon saw McCartney in casual clothes, and suddenly said that he might not be able to sing anymore and hoped that River would replace him. Although Li Shanhe was surprised, he still refused.
The outside world was in an uproar and actually rejected the Beatles' invitation? Is this man stupid? Fans wept bitterly, the Beatles may not be able to recreate the glory of the year, begging Li Shanhe to mend the rift between the four boys.
Even Taro and Kyoko felt very uneasy, as if they were dragging Li Shanhe back.
---
With Sony's help, Li Shanhe decided to go on an expedition to England first. London was in a smog at this time, and Li Shanhe met four Beatles here.
All four guys are very funny and a little arrogant, but after all, they are the world's number one gentlemen band, but Kyoko is quite scared.
Receiving Lennon's invitation, they performed a music concert with the Beatles, the four boys warmed themselves up, and Li Shanhe gave back a song "Final_Cutdown", which shocked the fans, and even the Beatles worshipped, and finally knew that there were people outside the people, the road of rock and roll was still long, and they were far from the limit.
Li Shanhe deliberately provoked several other people: "Now that the Beatles have retired from fashion, our 'old rulers' are more popular than the Beatles", which aroused the hostility of the four boys, and in the face of the common enemy, they decided not to fight for the time being, and they must surpass Li Shanhe before they are willing.
In the original history, the Beatles were disbanded in 1970, but now because of Li Shanhe's intervention, things have changed. Although the price is that he is hostile to the Beatles, it is worth it to hear more excellent songs.
---
After the concert, Li Shanhe did not leave directly, but decided to go to the Reading Rock Festival.
Music festivals don't usually have such big-name singers joining, but Li Shanhe wants more than just commercial success. He wants influence.
Now there are two kinds of rock in Britain, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. The Beatles represent gentlemen, while the Rolling Stones are rare evergreens in the music world, and they represent the "rock and roll" in everyone's impression - rebellion.
The Reading Rock Festival is a "traditional" rock festival, with mohicans, worker harnesses, and small flat-headed gangsters everywhere.
Li Shanhe was booed as soon as he came here, Kyoko and Taro were scared, and after Li Shanhe opened a guy's head with a wine bottle, the crowd almost rioted.
"I'm here to tell you what music is!"
The song "The Queen is Dead" almost made the audience pee when they listened to it, what kind of shit they listened to before! This kind of song is exciting! The tone is simple but good, and the lyrics are rebellious to the extreme! No one had ever dared to write such a song before!
It's like God has come down!
In this home field of hellish difficulty, Li Shanhe conquered this group of discerning listeners with songs. However, he picked up the microphone and continued to provoke:
"What do you think sounds like? Don't dream, I've never sung for you, I've sung for myself! ”
Here, Li Shanhe proposed the concept of "punk".
What is Punk?
Rebellion is not punk, poverty is not punk, and maverick is not punk.
Punk is the grassroots, the bottom. What the people at the bottom like, that's punk.
The hallmark of punk is that the chords are simple, and there are only a few chords back and forth. With the "26 square fingering" he gave to Kyoko, anyone can learn to play their own music from scratch in 3 days.
The Redding Rock Festival is so influential that although you can't see it in the mainstream newspapers, you will be greeted by thugs on the road. In the following days, Li Shanhe quickly expounded his ideas into a book, which was sold out again and again after publication.
Britain is now the home of pop culture all over the world, and he used it to export the concept of punk abroad, and for a while, people praised it.
If you can only write songs, you will be a singer for the rest of your life. and brought a new class of musical concepts, which raised his status to the realm of "mentor".
Now, in the UK, Li Shanhe's nickname is "Punk Master".
Applauded and applauded. Even if this name is a hundred years later, it is enough to blind the eyes of a group of people, and rock history is destined to remember Li Shanhe's name.
