Yang Fan always wanted to form a band, but he couldn't rent a suitable training space. On this day, he came to Lin Peng to ask about this, did he know any high-quality and inexpensive venues nearby? Lin Peng is not a local, of course he doesn't know, but he thinks Zhang Zhiping should know, so he said to the other party: "I went back and asked Lao Zhang in our dormitory, he knows better than me, maybe he knows." ”

"Okay, that's bothering you!"

Yang Fan said with a grateful face.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all a trivial matter, I'll contact you when I ask clearly. ”

Lin Peng smiled and waved his hand. Since the last time he said goodbye to the bar, this is the first time Yang Fan has taken the initiative to come to him.

"That's right... Lin Peng, I heard... You... Have you learned Guzheng before?"

Yang Fan had just stepped out of the door with his front feet, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ran back and asked.

"Yes, I used to study it when I was a child, and after I went to high school... There are fewer touches. ”

Lin Peng nodded.

"Actually... I've always wanted to add some classical Chinese elements to my songs. Can you join our band?"

Yang Fan saw that Lin Peng really would, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and asked in a sincere tone.

"You say me?!"

Lin Peng pointed to himself and asked in disbelief.

"Hmm!"

Yang Fan nodded again and again, his eyes shining.

"Brother, aren't you playing rock 'n' roll, what do you want me to do as a guzheng?"

The second monk Lin Peng was puzzled and asked with a puzzled expression.

"You misunderstand, rock is just our main genre, in fact, I have always wanted to try some other genres, especially recently, the old music style has become popular again? I want to try, try. ”

Yang Fan explained with a naïve face.

"How many people are in your band now?!"

Lin Peng put down the guy in his hand and asked with his hands on his chest.

"Uh... Add your words, just three. We're missing a drummer too, and if you're okay, you can take over for a while, and that thing learns quickly. ”

Yang Fan was silent for a while and said.

There are only a few people?!Isn't this thing fooling me into joining the gang?!

Lin Peng suddenly became alert.

"I know what you're thinking, I'm planning to continue calling people after I've decided on a place to practice. After all, there is no place, and many people are useless. You can still run around with the guitar, but the drum is not easy to get, so you have to find a fixed place, you say?"

Yang Fan saw the doubts in Lin Peng's heart and patiently explained to him.

"It's also ....."

Hearing Yang Fan say this, Lin Peng found that it was really the case.

"It's okay, you don't have to rush to answer me. Think it through yourself, figure it out, just talk to me directly. Feel free to welcome you!"

Yang Fan didn't force Lin Peng to choose by himself.

"Okay, I'll think about it. After all, if you really want to do it, you must do it well, and it will take a lot of time. ”

Lin Peng nodded and said.

"Yes, you can think about it yourself, and if you want to get it together, come here. After all, we are all like-minded people, and it doesn't hurt to communicate together. ”

Yang Fan's words were very level, and Lin Peng was a little tempted to say it.

"Okay, I'll help you ask about the venue in the evening. ”

Lin Peng thought for a moment, opened the book in his hand and said.

"Okay, thank you then! You're busy, I won't bother!"

Yang Fan nodded and walked away with great interest.

"Is the band ?....."

Lin Peng tapped his fingers on the table as he fell into deep thought.....

.....

Zhang Zhiping was really familiar with the local area, and after Lin Peng consulted him, he quickly thought of a place. The place is not far from the school, but the location is somewhat remote, in the basement of an old residential building.

When Yang Fan first heard the news, he was a little surprised. Because of that community, he had inquired before, but he didn't ask about an empty basement. I didn't expect Zhang Zhiping to be so well-informed, and he found it all at once. He took the initiative to contact Zhang Zhiping through Lin Peng, made an appointment with him, and actually went over to take a look. I found that the basement is very large, and the soundproofing is also very good, which is very suitable as a base for the band. And the price is also much cheaper than the few that Yang Fan found before. Yang Fan felt that he had really picked up a treasure this time, so he negotiated the price with the landlord on the spot and rented the basement.

After the venue was decided, the formation of the band officially began. Yang Fan led the team members to actively issue a "recruitment order" to the majority of alumni. At the door of the cafeteria at noon every day, people can see two boys holding signs and pulling people. There were many people who came to watch, but very few people actually came to ask. Everyone still thinks that to do this, you should join a club in a formal way. A few people like this stand at the door of the cafeteria and pull people, which feels very unreliable.

"Yo, you're pulling people today, how's it going?"

On this day, Lin Peng had just finished class and went to the cafeteria to eat, and bumped into Yang Fan and a few of them.

"Don't mention it, there are a lot of people who come to visit, but no one comes up to ask. ”

One of them, the guitarist named Zhao Wenwen, said with a dejected face.

"I think the main reason is that your way of pulling people is too monotonous and can't arouse the interest of others. Maybe... You can try a live performance. First, it can increase your attractiveness, and second, it can show your strength and let others understand you more intuitively. ”

Lin Peng suggested to the two.

"Makes sense... This will dispel some of the concerns and preconceptions of others!"

Everyone is not stupid, after Lin Peng's reminder, they have also figured out the truth.

"It's a good idea for musicians to meet friends through music. ”

Captain Yang Fan also agreed.

So the two picked up the guy in their hands, did what they said, and played and sang a few recently rehearsed tracks on the spot. Just listening to the heroic and long singing, the two of them are indeed at some level, and the people around them are gradually attracted to it.

"Hello, are you recruiting? I've been following you for a few days. ”

After a long time, a boy with pimples finally came out of the crowd.

"Yes, classmate, we're going to form a band, we're hiring, what instrument do you know?"

Yang Fan saw that someone finally came over, so he hurriedly stepped forward enthusiastically and handed the other party a bottle of water, and asked with a smile.

"I can play the drums. He was a drummer in middle school. ”

The boy said.

"That's a coincidence! We just don't have a drummer here, are you free tomorrow afternoon, have time to go to our interview and if it's okay, we'll hire you directly." ”

Yang Fan was eager to find talent, and hurriedly asked.

"You have a venue now?"

The man asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, the official training venue has been decided, and I may have to buy some tables and sofas later. When the band's reputation becomes famous in the future, they can go out and earn money, and they may have to change places. ”

Yang Fan introduced the boy with a smile.

"You... You're still going out on a show?!"

The boy was shocked by Yang Fan's idea.

"Yes, if you want to do it, you have to do it best! Doesn't XX City hold a 'College Student Music Festival Competition' every year? I plan to use this as a breakthrough to fire the first shot of our band. When the reputation of the band gradually spreads, it is natural that people will come and invite us to perform. Don't think it's impossible for me to think about it, we're all young now, as long as we want to do it, nothing is impossible! Come on! Friends, let's leave a good memory for our youth together!"

Yang Fan stretched out a hand and said passionately.

"Please let me join you!"

The man was deeply moved by Yang Fan's words, grabbed the other party's hand, and said with a sincere face.

"Actually, I have always had a music dream in my heart, but I gradually gave up under the pressure of going to school. Thank you! Today has rekindled this fire in my heart!"

"Okay! We're just looking for a like-minded partner like you, what's your name?"

Yang Fan completely "subdued" the other party in three or two clicks, and this ability has to be admired.

"My name is Li Dong, and I'm a freshman like you!"

The pimple-riddled boy grinned.

"That's great! My name is Yang Fan, and I am currently the captain here, and the one behind me is called Zhao Wenwen, who is in charge of the guitarist. ”

Yang Fan introduced to Li Dong.

"Hello!"

Zhao Wenwen stretched out his hand to Li Dong in a friendly manner.

"Please advise!"

Li Dong also reached out and shook hands with the other party.

"Congratulations, congratulations, I've finally recruited someone. ”

In the crowd, a familiar voice came, Yang Fan looked up, and saw Lin Peng walking towards them.

"Thank you so much, thanks to your idea. ”

Yang Fan said with a smile.

"In that case, then you signed me too, right?" Captain Yang. ”

Lin Peng said with a smile.

"Huh?!"

The three of them were suddenly stunned by Lin Peng's sudden words.

"It's nothing, I've just seen your performance, it feels pretty good, and I should have fun playing music with you!"

Lin Peng spread his hands and explained.

"You—You're actually testing us by letting us perform just now?!"

Zhao Wenwen exclaimed.

"Hey, what are you talking about?!"

Yang Fan hurriedly interrupted the other party.

"Mr. Lin's trick is called 'killing two birds with one stone', which not only helps us recruit people, but also takes the opportunity to understand our level. If we don't even have that ability, why should people join us?"

After Yang Fan finished speaking, he looked at Lin Peng with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, am I right?"

"Mr. Yang is high!"

Lin Peng also arched his hand and complimented each other.

"It is really an honor for Mr. Lin to join today! I can finally fulfill one of my wishes and fulfill my desire to try classical music. ”

"Hey~ Forget about the guzheng, it's too incompatible with your band, don't you still lack a bass? I'll be the bass player!"

Lin Peng waved his hand and said.

"Will you bass?!"

Yang Fan asked with a look of surprise.

"Well, who told you I can only play one instrument? Bass, guitar, keyboardist, I can do it all!"

Lin Peng waved his hand and said domineeringly.

"That's great!"

After hearing this, Yang Fan immediately smiled, and grabbed Lin Peng's hands.

"You've solved my urgent need!"

"I think there's something else that's most urgent right now, right?"

Lin Peng suddenly changed his words and said.

"What's the matter?"

Yang Fan asked a little puzzled.

"Isn't it time to give the band a name?"

Lin Peng reminded.

"That's right! It's already four people! You can choose a name!"

Zhao Wenwen said excitedly.

"Since they were all summoned together by Captain Yang Fan, in my humble opinion, the name of the team will be 'Sailing Band'. Set sail!"

Lin Peng seemed to have thought about it a long time ago and was the first to suggest.

"No, no, no, it's not suitable! I'm not alone in the band, so let's change it." ”

Yang Fan was startled and hurriedly excused himself.

"I think it's a good fit. ”

Li Dong smiled and echoed Lin Peng's proposal.

"Today is the day of our band's formation, and our dreams set sail here, 'set sail' – with infinite hope and beauty, it's good. ”

"Yes, Captain, I think it's a good name, too!

Zhao Wenwen also agreed.

"In that case.....

Yang Fan saw that everyone agreed, so he no longer objected.

"Okay, then I declare that our band is called 'Sailing Band'!"
