Chapter Twenty-Three: Choosing a Name is a University Question
When Zeppelin saw Qian Wenwen at school, his expression was a little unnatural. I want to come forward to say hello, but I also look worried. On the contrary, it was Qian Wenwen, as if nothing had happened, and got along naturally with Zeppelin. In this way, Zeppelin's worries were dispelled.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would keep Qian Wenwen's secret. He even had a strange sense of superiority in his heart to know this secret, at least, Lin Zhi didn't know this.
After Chubby joins the band, the band's rehearsals are on track. The team members propose the pieces they want to rehearse, and then everyone practices them together. Lin Zhiyi remembered the sheet music that he had forgotten in the drawer, and wanted to pick it up again. But on the night of the last trip to Uncle Liu, Mr. Lin banned almost all music-related activities at his home.
Mr. Lin was most angry not that Lin Zhiyi had abandoned his studies, but that his son had learned to cheat. Although he usually works with exquisite and clever tongues, children cannot be compared with adults.
Lin Zhi also sometimes felt the sentence that Hu Haoran once said, "Your Lin family is hypocritical." β
Therefore, he prefers direct music to the winding legal provisions. No one will be deceived by music.
Seeing that Lin Zhiyi was silent and didn't speak, Xiaopang interjected, "Captain, what is the name of our band?" β
"What daimyo?" Zeppelin asked.
"Don't our band have a name yet?" Chubby opens his mouth wide, and he can stuff a whole KFC grilled chicken thigh burger inside.
"Well, I don't think there's any." Zeppelin scratched the back of his head and turned to look at Lin Zhiyi. Did he never think about it?
"Oh, how did I forget about it!"
Everyone fainted, as if at the beginning, Lin Zhiyi didn't mention what the name of this band was? He has been using the phrase "my band" or "our band" instead, and lately, the latter has been appearing more and more frequently.
"Actually," Yuan Shanshan timidly raised her hand, she rarely spoke during the band rehearsal, but this time she had something to say, "In my heart, I have always had an idea about the name of the team?" β
"Really?" Lin Zhiyi asked curiously, "Tell me about it!" β
"Legend of Zhiyuan!"
"Forehead ......"
"What's wrong with you, don't go!" Yuan Shanshan was full of hope to hear the opinions of others, but everyone packed up their belongings and looked eager to flee the scene.
"Chubby, what do you think?" She grabbed Fang Yuan, who was slow.
"I think it's just a personal opinion. The name is more atmospheric to a certain extent, but it is a little earthy, and it does not match the temperament of our band FASHION, but it is quite compatible with you. β
After saying this, Chubby slipped away as if fleeing for his life.
Yuan Shanshan came to the food stall dejectedly, although she worked for a shorter time than before, but the boss still paid her 1,000 yuan a month as originally promised.
So she didn't dare to slack off on the work of the food stalls. In order to express her gratitude, she would take advantage of the stall to sing in the band to her boss, who said that if she became a singer in the future, she would endorse her food stalls. She earnestly agreed.
Exhausted to return home, in two months it will be the New Year again. Although I have been looking forward to the return of my parents, I am afraid that the family will lose this peace when I really come back.
My sister sat on a small bench at the door and waited for her to come home, but was actually asleep. She gently woke her up and told her to go to bed. "Eucalyptus."
Yuan Eucalyptus is the name of my sister, and my grandmother said that it was because when I named my sister, the first thing my mother saw when she went out was a newly grown eucalyptus tree at the door. And when I was growing a cedar tree, I saw a cedar tree.
Although they are all trees, Shanshan thinks that her sister's name is good, just like the peace she feels when she stays by her side.
And Yuan Shanshan's name always gives people a feeling of sluggishness, like a person who is late.
"Hey! Is everyone asleep? Have we decided on a team name? It was close to eleven o'clock, and Zeppelin called out in the group.
"Nope. I don't have a clue at all. "Qian Wenwen actually has an alternative plan in her heart, called Fantasia Group. But this name, there is always a sense of plagiarism. It is not much better than the Zhiyuan legend proposed by Yuan Shanshan before.
"Does the name matter?" Yuan Shanshan asked.
"Of course, just like a person's name, the name of a band represents the temperament of a band. Having a loud name can also help the band increase its popularity. For example, Queen in the United Kingdom, Lincoln in the United States. It's something that people can remember after listening to it once. β
Lin Zhi was also so excited that he sent the message.
"Captain, do you have any ideas?"
"Nope." As for the name of the band, he himself had some naΓ―ve ideas before, such as hot blood boys, king bands and the like. But as he got older, the names became too much for him to say.
When he first started forming this band, he just wanted to recruit people first, and he didn't think about things like the name and the soul of the group.
"I went to find the fortune teller over there in Lao Cai after school today!" Chubby said excitedly. "I showed our names to the old gentleman, and the old gentleman said, a few of us, many woods, gold and earth, lack of water and fire, should be called Miao Shen!"
"Seconds? What's the hell in name? Qian Wenwen complained neatly.
"It's Shen, not Sheng!" Pay attention to the anterior and posterior nasal sounds.
"No matter what life it is, it's too ugly!" Zeppelin mended, "Otherwise, let's call it the Pearl City Band, and when we become famous in the future, we can carry forward the third-tier city of our hometown." β
"Is it called where you are born? Did you have been born in Berlin? Chubby shot back at Zeppelin.
"Although I didn't grow in Berlin, my parents met when they were studying in Berlin, so they are related. If it weren't for my parents' devotion to the motherland, I might have been living in Berlin for a long time! Zeppelin said wittily.
βγγγγγγβ
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
"Otherwise, we'll call it a flamingo." Yuan Shanshan once again fearlessly proposed.
"Uh. I always felt a little strange about it. We're not in the animal world. Xiaopang answered, he didn't have much contact with Yuan Shanshan, but he quite liked this simple and straightforward classmate. Although she is not prettier than Qian Wenwen, she is better than approachable.
Anyone can find his presence in front of Yuan Shanshan.
"Then it's better to call it a fire unicorn!" Zeppelin retorted.
"What's the matter, you can't do without a fire word! Just call the fire brigade and forget it! Lin Zhiyi was very sad in the face of this group of unscrupulous teammates.
Lin Zhiyi closed his eyes and searched his knowledge base in his mind, but when the book was used, he hated it so little, why couldn't he even think of a simple band name?
"Or, let's say the words we want to say one by one, and then arrange and combine the five words to see what the result will be." Qian Wenwen suggested.
Everyone felt that this method was feasible, that it could take into account the ideas of every member of the band, and that no one would object to it after it was settled.
"Fire!" Chubby seems to have fallen into the evil of the fortune teller and refuses to let go of this fire word.
"Really? Everyone only has one chance. Qian Wenwen reminded.
"Don't change it. I hope that our band can burn all over China like fire! Burn all over Asia! Burned to every corner of the world. β
Hearing Xiaopang say this, everyone's hearts seem to be really burning with flames.
"Wind. When there is wind, the fire can burn farther. Qian Wenwen added that she agrees with Chubby's statement, and also likes the freedom of the wind, coming and going casually.
"Brigade." Yuan Shanshan wrote. For more than ten years, her life has been around home and school, and she has not been to places outside Zhucheng. Every time after the New Year, I bid farewell to my parents and younger brother at the station, and watch the green train carry them away and drift away. How she wished she could take her sister to the outside world.
Yet they, like the two trees in their names, are firmly bound by the ground beneath their feet.
"Yes." Lin Zhi also took the word in the middle of his name. His name was chosen by his grandfather, implying that he could follow in the footsteps of the family elders, and the zigzag is just a simple syllable particle with no substantive meaning. But he liked the simple word as much as he simply liked music.
"It seems that I have no choice." Zeppelin looked at the four words sent by the others, and already had the prototype of the band's name in his mind, "Wheel." β
"The Wheel of the Fire Wind? That's weird, isn't it? Chubby didn't understand Zeppelin's intentions.
"Idiot, how can there be such a combination!" Zeppelin retorted.
"Hot Wheels Ride?" Qian Wenwen said.
"That's right! IQ is really proportional to appearance! Zeppelin's words played the role of killing two birds with one stone, not only praising his goddess, but also mocking Chubby by the way.
"What a broken name! Are we filming the legend of Nezha, are we going to make trouble in the East China Sea? Chubby said unconvinced.
"I think it's good." Lin Zhiyi clapped the name, which sounds vibrant, and also expresses their determination to pursue the path of music.
"Hmm. I'm for it! Qian Wenwen immediately agreed.
"I agree!" Yuan Shanshan thought of the two fiery red wheels that Nezha stepped on in the cartoon "Romance of the Gods" on TV, if she could have this artifact, would there be places in the sky and on the ground that she couldn't reach?
"4 to 1, Chubby classmate, give up resistance!"
Chubby posted a white flag emoji in the group.
"Okay!" Zeppelin solemnly said, "The Hot Wheels Journey band is officially formed!" Mount...... Dengden and other ......"
"Wait!" Qian Wenwen suddenly interjected, "This name is good, but it's a bit tongue-twisting." Otherwise, we will call it in writing, and we will call it Hot Wheels externally! In this way, the fans can also call it a little easier. β
"Where do we get our fans now?" Chubby unceremoniously dismantled the stage.
"Hee-hee, there will always be."
"I think what Wenwen said makes sense, let's call it Hot Wheels for short!"
Lin Zhiyi also changed the name of this QQ group to "Hot Wheels". After having a name, Lin Zhiyi felt that this band began to have a group soul!
