"No, no, this kind of music is too gentle, not the kind I need." Chen Qiang shook his head and said.

Louis Jordan stopped the piano in his hand and said helplessly: "Mr. Chen, what kind of music do you want?" ”

"I want music that is so passionate that people can't help but want to dance." Chen Qiang replied.

"Isn't the music I just played passionate enough? I think I'll dance to the music when I listen to it. Louis Jordan said with some dissatisfaction.

Many things like art can only be understood but not spoken, especially music, which itself is invisible and intangible, is a relatively abstract thing, and it is relatively difficult to describe a kind of music in words. There is often the kind of music that you talk about for a long time, but the other party can't understand the type of music you are talking about.

Chen Qiang is not a musician, he does not have much professional knowledge in music, and he cannot accurately describe the type of music he wants in words. Descriptions like "exciting" and "exciting" are fine to describe music, but if musicians are allowed to create based on them, then this kind of narrative is empty. According to this requirement, ten composers can write ten different kinds of compositions.

Chen Qiang was helpless, he didn't know what language to use to express his intentions, and Louis Jordan was also helpless, he didn't know what Chen Qiang wanted.

"What I need is the kind of music that sounds hilarious." Chen Qiang began to use his scarce adjectives again to describe the music he needed.

It's a very frustrating thing for a donkey's lips to be wrong, and Chen Qiangzi spent days in Louis Jordan's band and finally got the music he wanted. Although it is much worse than the spinning music of later generations, it will barely be able to use it all at once.

After all, the music of the thirties and forties was very different from that of later generations, and it was impossible for musicians at that time to create popular music for later generations.

This is the gap between the times, and each era has different criteria for judging things. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, women who liked to have a good body and charm, and now every girl wants to be thinner; Another example is those heartthrob female movie stars during the Republic of China, with the current aesthetic vision, they may not be beautiful women at all.

Art is even more so, it is difficult for people in the thirties and forties to understand, and it is difficult for them to accept the kind of pop music of the future, so that they can create future pop music, even if enough hints are given, the musicians at that time can't create it, not to mention that Chen Qiang is still a music layman, and the hints he gave are similar to nothing.

Thanks to Louis Jordan, who was the best musician in the United States in the 40s, and was also the "grandfather of rock and roll", if he were someone else, he would not have been able to create the music that Chen Qiang needed.

Of course, this is also because Chen Qiang is willing to pay Louis Jordan enough compensation, and for the sake of money, Louis Jordan also does his best to meet Chen Qiang's requirements.

The current Louis Jordan is not yet a future superstar, although he is not poor, but he is not rich, at least not the kind of big star who is not short of money. As a black man, it was a very difficult thing to get ahead in the United States at that time, and although New York at that time was full of opportunities, these opportunities were not for black people. So there are bosses who are willing to pay for songs, and Louis Jordan doesn't dare to put up a fight.

……

The factory quickly completed the order for 100 spin bikes, but Chen Qiang's gym did not have enough space to accommodate these 100 spin bikes.

Chen Qiang's gym has a variety of classes and occupies a large number of classrooms, so Chen Qiang's gym is facing a shortage of classrooms. So Chen Qiang rented a building in the back and transformed it into several spinning classrooms, and his gym also opened a back door, and a passage was specially built to lead to the spinning classroom at the back.

Half a month later, Chen Qiang's spinning bike music was recorded, Chen Qiang also bought a record player and special playback equipment, and the factory that produced spinning bikes also sent people to transport 100 spinning bikes and then assemble them.

Chen Qiang's spinning course can be regarded as everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

……

A brand-new spin bike was placed in front of everyone, painted with black paint and looking very textured.

"It's an exercise bike, right? I've seen it in other gyms. It's like riding a bike. ”

"But the exercise bikes in other gyms have an odometer, right? Why isn't this one? ”

"And the style of this exercise bike is different from that of a bicycle."

People looked at the spinning bike and whispered about it.

Although the style of this spinning bike is different, everyone still thinks of it as an ordinary exercise bike.

Finally, Chen Qiang came out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me now solemnly introduce the new fitness equipment I have developed, which is also the new course we will be offering here, spinning!" Chen Qiang said.

"Spinning? Is this thing called a spin bike? ”

"What's the difference between exercise bikes at other gyms?"

"It can't just be a name change, right?"

The crowd began to whisper again.

Chen Qiang said: "Although the spinning bike I designed looks very similar to an ordinary bicycle, it is much worse in terms of function and function. My spinning bike doesn't have some of the shortcomings of a bike, such as safety, a long sore waist, etc., and these other bike shortcomings have been improved on spinning. My spinning bike is designed with the method of artificial mechanical engineering, choosing the right fit for the human body, not bothering the waist, but also to make the fitness achieve the maximum effect, each pedal has two fixed shoe covers, to prevent the exerciser from throwing out the foot when exercising, adhering to the concept of safety design. ”

"Of course, in addition to safety, spinning has many benefits, such as fully exercising the muscles of the hips, waist, back and arms, enhancing your cardiopulmonary function, losing excess fat in your body, shaping for you, etc., specifically, you can try out my spinning course and experience it for yourself."

"I would also like to emphasize that, unlike other fitness programs, spinning is not boring at all, and I can guarantee that it will make you feel happy. Another point is that the spinning class can save you more time, and the effect of taking my spinning class in 30 minutes is comparable to jogging for 60 minutes. Just imagine, the same training effect, but can save twice the time. After all, we only have 24 hours in a day, and if we can save 30 minutes, we can do a lot more. ”

"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm going to teach the spinning course in person, if you're willing to experience it, you can come to the back spinning classroom now, but the number of places is still limited, so if you want to give it a try, don't hesitate, come now!"

……

The music sounded, and under the leadership of Chen Qiang, the members began to experience spinning.

"Everyone, let's get moving! One-two-three-four, two-two-three-four......"

With Chen Qiang's shout, the students on the spinning bike began to learn from Chen Qiang and started to move.

Of course, not everyone is curious, and there are many people who do not experience it, but stand on the sidelines and watch.

But soon, those who watched couldn't stand still, the music of the spinning bike was full of passion, everyone heard this kind of music, and couldn't help but have an urge to exercise, plus there were many people in front of them doing all kinds of actions on the spinning bike, which made those viewers even more eager to try.

It's like a square dance in later generations, the more people dance, the more people around them can't sit still and want to join in.

And those who are exercising on spinning bikes, at first they just think it is fresh and fun, but slowly, they feel the passion of spinning. Moving to the sound of the music, feeling the sweat coming out of the pores, then condensing into beads of sweat, being thrown out, this is really amazing!

The passion of sports is completely ignited at this moment, those people sitting on spinning bikes are still fully engaged in the sport of spinning, they look at Chen Qiang, follow Chen Qiang to learn every action, and the music full of passion is more like brainwashing, making people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

And the sound of this music has also attracted more and more people to come and watch.

"What kind of music is this, it's really exciting."

"What are they doing? Are you riding an exercise bike? Why do you still make all kinds of strange movements with the car? ”

"You can't have accidentally fallen out of the car, right?"

"Is this Chen Qiang's new fitness exercise? It seems like a lot of fun, and I want to try it too. ”

As the audience chattered, the rhythm of the music gradually slowed down and then stopped.

Chen Qiang took a few deep breaths, then got off the spinning bike, he looked at the wall clock on the wall, and said, "Okay, gentlemen, the time of half an hour has arrived, and our spinning class for today is over!" ”

"Really? Did I ride for half an hour? How I think I've only ridden for ten minutes! ”

"That's half an hour? It feels so fast! ”

"Half an hour passed so quickly!"

If it weren't for the clock hanging on the wall, half an hour had passed, and some people might have questioned Chen Qiang's false reporting of the time.

As Chen Qiang said, the training of spinning is different from the training of other projects, the training of spinning is not boring, nor will it make people feel boring.

Perhaps this is also the reason why spinning bikes will be popular in the future, that is, people don't feel the boredom and boredom of fitness.

Ironing is indeed a very boring and boring thing, sitting on the fitness equipment, like a machine, constantly repeating the previous action, and these movements are still very tired, which is more difficult than standing on the assembly line. Therefore, many people don't go to the gym much after getting a fitness card, just because they can't stand the boredom and tedium that keeps repeating.

In the future, there are already various media devices in the gym, such as a tablet computer embedded in the treadmill, so that you can watch video programs while running, which greatly alleviates the boredom caused by fitness, but in the thirties and forties, these media devices are not available, and fitness is simply repeating and repeating.

The emergence of spinning bikes seems to open a new window for fitness, making fitness no longer a simple and boring repetition, and making fitness an interesting thing.

……

Chen Qiang's spinning course is on fire!

Half an hour in a class, 100 spinning bikes, almost continuous, but even so, as more and more people sign up for spinning courses, these 100 spinning bikes are in short supply.

So Chen Qiang had no choice but to find another manufacturer and order 100 spinning bikes.

It's not for nothing that spinning is so popular in the future, imagine if spinning was a boring and boring sport, and there wouldn't be so many people joining the sport of spinning. Therefore, it is only natural that Chen Qiang's spinning bike is widely welcomed by members.

By the same token, if spinning bikes weren't profitable, they wouldn't be the standard in gyms.

In the gym of the future, almost all spinning classes will be held every day, seven days a week, and there are so many spinning classes, not only because spinning bikes are very popular, but also because spinning bikes are very profitable.

The mechanical structure of a spinning bike is actually much simpler than that of a bicycle, and the bicycle also needs to consider steering and install wheels, while a spinning bike only needs a weight-bearing wheel, which is a lump of iron, so the cost of spinning is not high. Moreover, this kind of fitness equipment with a simple structure is relatively strong and durable, even if it is damaged, it is good to replace the parts. A spinning bike has been used for a few years, and if it is driven every day, how many waves of membership fees can be charged, and how many leeks can be cut!

However, spinning courses have never been cheap, so this is a low-investment, high-return project.

……

What Chen Qiang didn't expect was that the launch of spinning bikes also attracted a lot of media, including interviews with big media such as the New York Times.

The media interview is a rare publicity opportunity for Chen Qiang, so Chen Qiang did not refuse the reporter who came to interview, not only warmly received, personally demonstrated the spinning bike, but also let the reporter go up and feel it for himself, and when the reporter left, Chen Qiang did not forget to give the reporter a one-month membership card as a gift.

The so-called cannibalistic mouth is short and people are short, the reporter took Chen Qiang's benefits, and naturally knew that he should write something beneficial to Chen Qiang. Therefore, everyone who comes to interview reporters is to say good things about Chen Qiang, and no one will find fault with Chen Qiang.

Spinning bikes are very popular, and Chen Qiang has another project that can make money, but Chen Qiang did not expect spinning bikes to be promoted quickly, after all, in the nineties, it took four years for spinning bikes to be promoted from California to the world. You must know that the speed of information dissemination in the 90s is much faster than in the 30s, and it takes four years to promote spinning bikes in the 90s, and in the 30s, without a decade or eight years, I am afraid it is difficult to promote spinning bikes to the whole United States. Therefore, for a short period of time, spinning bikes can only be active in New York.
