025. Immortal Birdman
On the west side of the downtown area of Luoyan City, there is a small park, and there is a restaurant in the corner of the park, which is not big, but it is very exquisite, and the boss behind the scenes is Qiao Xike.
The Qiao brothers, Du and Shi met in the private room as if they were meeting with the underground party, and looked at each other, good guys, three pairs of panda eyes!
Except for Josie, the three people looked like they had tires hanging on their eyelids, and the dark circles under their eyes looked so vibrant!
Du Hai and Shi Manman were so haggard that they were played by Zuo Qiao, and Qiao Xiping also became like this because he couldn't get along with himself.
Since the last time he was overturned by Zuoqiao's adversity, Qiao Xiping has been thinking about how uncomfortable he is: on the one hand, he feels very faceless to be counterattacked by Zuoqiao, and on the other hand, he feels sorry for Miss Gui's expectations.
As soon as Qiao Xiping sat down, he had a stinky face, glared at Du Haishi Manman, and did not speak, but picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.
Or Josie is better to get along with, smiled and invited the two to take a seat, and after summoning people to pour a full drink, he said to the two of them with concern: "I heard that the two of you have been troubled by some rumors recently, I wonder if you have found the mastermind behind it now?"
"Just the two of them!" Josie muttered dissatisfiedly, with her mouth full of fish.
Du Hai's face remained unchanged, and his fists clenched under the table. Shi Manman was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, before she could say anything, Qiao Xike took the lead in relieving the siege and said, "Xiping, don't be rude!" he turned his head and smiled at Du and Shi, "Little brother is rude, please forgive me." ”
Shi Manman squeezed out a smile and said in a sharp voice: "It's okay, it's okay, I really blamed me for not getting things done well last time" Looking at the demeanor and tone of her speech, it seemed to be a little interesting to Qiao Xike.
Qiao Xike waved his hand and interrupted: "The last incident was an accident, no wonder the two of you" He paused slightly, and said: "If the two want to find out who is behind the rumors, the Qiao family will help!"
It's no wonder that Jossike is so obsessed with Zuoqiao's accurate and efficient rumor-mongering, giving people the feeling that it is an intelligence organization with eyes and hands, and it is no wonder that such a 'powerful character' suddenly appeared, and Josike couldn't sit still.
However, Shi Manman couldn't think of so much, she only felt that Qiao Xike was so responsible and secure at the moment, and she couldn't hold back the smile on her face, she threw a flattering eye at Qiao Xike, and thanked her angrily: "Really?~Thank you so much~~ You have done so much for others, and people really don't know how to repay you!~~~"
Du Hai sat next to Shi Manman and only felt white smoke coming out of his body, glanced at Qiao Xike, and found that although his expression had not changed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought that he was also thundered.
Turning over the topic, Qiao Xiping finally asked a serious question in a sullen voice: "I heard that Zuoqiao has been selling songs on the street recently, and it seems that many people have bought his account, and the people who listen to him sing can line up from the street to the end of the street?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Du Hai's face turned a little green, if he was unlucky, he heard that his opponent was even more unlucky than himself, then his mood could be somewhat comforted and he became a little happier. But if you hear that when you are unlucky, your opponent is in a good situation, don't mention the depression in your heart.
At present, Du Hai is in such a state.
He drooped his tire eyes, and said half-deadly: "Yes, it must be two or three days, this dead fat man seems to have written a few new songs a few days ago, and the response is very good, and the number of people who run to listen to him sing is getting more and more day by day, and now most of the people in Luoyan City know that he will run to the corner of the main street to sing every afternoon." ”
As soon as he mentioned singing, Qiao Xiping remembered the scene of being beaten by Zuoqiao again, his face twitched, and he slapped the table heavily: "Damn! Why didn't I know that this kid still had these two brushes! And you people in Luoyan City have aesthetic problems?!!, right?!
Josieke narrowed his eyes as well.
Zuoqiao's singing seems to have nothing to do with the Qiao family, but it is actually quite entangled.
Judging from Zuo Qiao's performance in insisting on singing these days, if it weren't for the fact that the influence of the 'curse' on his body hadn't completely disappeared and he couldn't show his face, he wouldn't have been able to rush back to the realm of the fourth layer of the first realm in a few days. And the Qiao family is now in the honeymoon period with the demon girl, and in order to get more benefits from the other party, they must find ways to tie up.
The way to tie the knot is to kill the left bridge
You must know that the demon girl only took a few days to help Qiao Xiping rush from the third layer of the first realm to the fourth layer of the first realm, and the upgrade speed of the light theory is even faster than that of Zuoqiao's singing! With such a mysterious and powerful character, how could the Qiao family not treat others as ancestors?
Therefore, Zuoqiao, the character who once 'offended' the demon girl, is destined to become a stepping stone for their Qiao family.
Shi Manman also arched his fire and said: "His temperament cultivation must have improved a lot these days, and I heard that he is also preparing to hold a concert, if he is really allowed to open it, his recovered cultivation may even affect Brother Qiao's college entrance qualifiers!"
Josie Ke pondered for a moment and raised his eyes to look at Qiao Xiping: "I heard that there is a band in the Black Diamond Region recently, which seems to be called 'Immortal Birdman'?"
Josie Ping nodded: "That's right! It seems to be a very famous band, and it has just released a new album recently, which seems to be very popular!"
Josie smiled: "You said that this professional band, how should it compare to the two wild roads on the left bridge?"
The other three all understood at once, and Shi Manman applauded in an extremely exaggerated manner: "That's naturally the difference between cloud and mud! How can Zuoqiao's kind of goods be better than other people's professional bands?!"
"Okay!" Qiao Xike nodded indifferently, "In three days, the Immortal Birdman Band will definitely appear in Luoyan City, as for Zuoqiao's want to hold a concert," he swept his gaze to Du Hai, "I'm bothering you too much!"
"Okay!" Du Hai happily agreed, he was now psychologically distorted to the point that Zuoqiao was unhappy and he was happy, and began to be keen on hurting each other, "I'll leave this matter to me!"
After Du Hai and Shi Manman left, Qiao Xike asked someone to remove the meal that had not been touched much and served it again.
The brothers refilled their wines and did one, and Josie Ke hugged his brother and said, "This college entrance qualification is a once-in-a-century good opportunity, you must seize it! This time, we can solve the left bridge in advance, that is, we have eliminated one of the biggest competitors, and at the beginning of the entrance examination of Scarlet Moon Academy, you and I will work together, and these two places will be like picking up things! Our Qiao family has finally been able to complete the feat of double admission after so many years! As for Miss Gui, my brother can see that you like her very much. If you perform well in the qualifiers, I believe Miss Gui will definitely look at you differently!"
Josie Ping nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and he fell into a fantasy and drooled, but he didn't see the deep pain in Josie's eyes.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The Birdmen of the Immortals, a newcomer group that has just become popular recently.
As mentioned earlier, pop music has been around for a long time, but it has only been accepted by the public in recent years. So recently, there have been a lot of pop singers or groups that have suddenly become popular.
Just like after anything on the earth becomes popular, there will be a swarm of followers, most of these 'blowout' products are of uneven quality, good popularity, and worrisome strength, everyone understands.
The Immortal Birdman Band is quite distinctive in this circle, first of all, their four members, three men and one woman, are all grassroots players, and they have not gone to too good colleges, but they are all good-looking, qualified and down-to-earth. Secondly, the singing skills of this band are acceptable, and most of the members of the team have the ability to compose independently, which can be regarded as a powerful idol group with excellent singing and writing.
Immortal Birdman has a very clear positioning for himself, that is, he grasps the core of pop music, emphasizes trendiness and individuality, and the audience is aimed at the young people who are most receptive and love new things from the beginning, and the song style is avant-garde and energetic.
How hot is it, uh, I don't know if you've heard of the old disco of the 80s?
That's right, that's the feel!
The above description is not derogatory, after all, for a new thing, the exploration of any direction is worth encouraging, and it turns out that this kind of old disco style song is indeed a trend that can be accepted by people in this era, and it is so popular that it is a little beyond the imagination of Zuoqiao.
Immortal Birdman's new album "Red Phoenix Pink Phoenix, Red Pink Phoenix, Flower Phoenix" released two months ago (this name is really not too tired) was well received upon release, and at the same time, their popularity soared, and at the same time, they also made them jump from a semi-amateur and semi-professional underground workshop-style band to a second- and third-tier band that is well-known in Fei Lengcui China.
Don't look down on this second and third line. In the case of the other world, fame is basically equal to strength, although there is no such thing as 'entertainment industry', but a similar concept has already been roughly formed, and these industries linked to art that can enhance their popularity are undoubtedly the leading industries with the most influence and the most practitioners in the other world. Especially in terms of music, on average, one out of every five cultivators is either part-time or full-time engaged in related industries, and this is not only cultivators, but there are so many ordinary people who have no cultivation talent but have musical talent!
So this number can be imagined, musicians and singers are really in the sea, and the players who can evaluate the line and enter the stream definitely have two brushes. Especially in the emerging industry of pop music, even if it is only third-rate, it is a very remarkable qualitative change, and it is enough to blow it for half a year.
There is no clear demarcation of the rating of popularity in the other world, but there is a universally accepted criterion for reaching the level of a third-rate star (or 'artist'), that is, at least one famous song can have considerable popularity in a country.
And those big singers and big artists who are well-known throughout the continent can at least reach the level of triple entry with the support of popularity alone, and they are definitely legendary figures walking sideways on the mainland.
However, small bands like the Immortal Birdman, which suddenly became popular, not a thousand but eight hundred a year, and most of them disappeared from the crowd in a short time, and there were too few who could maintain their status, or even go further. Therefore, after the immortal birdman became popular, he immediately began to tour in the country of Fei Lengcui, and the crazy circle of fans upgraded.
All the way from the capital of Fei Lengcui, the Immortal Birdman Band has passed through at least a dozen major regions, and at least three or four concerts have to be held in each region. When they arrived in the Black Diamond Region, Luoyan City was originally the city where they were preparing for the last performance, and they were not prepared to stay for too long. However, although the Qiao family can't influence the first-line stars, it is not difficult for a third-tier small band like the Immortal Birdman to change its plan.
The Immortal Birdman happily reached an agreement with Josie, and after the current concert, he immediately set off for Luoyan City.
Three men and one woman arrived in Luoyan City with musical instruments when it happened to be lunch, the three of them found the accommodation provided by Qiao's family, put down their luggage and finished lunch, in the past two months, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and they have no intention of taking a nap to rest, so they are ready to take a walk around the city,
Take a casual look at the performance of their 'opponents' Sahashi and others this time.
The immortal birdmen are all native Westerners, and they feel a little novel when they come to Luoyan City with oriental characteristics, half superior and half curious to look around, and just walk to the business district in the center of the city, they follow the song and the flow of people to find Zuoqiao and others.
The outfits of several of them are called 'avant-garde and cool' in their own words, but from the perspective of the earth, they are four non-mainstream good guys with neurotic Indians with big dark circles under their eyes, two bright blushes painted on their cheeks, their leather coats are jingling and hanging all over the rings, and their hair is also permed with thunder and lightning magic like Nikaido Red Pill, but it is not a simple broom head, but it is separated from the middle and extends to both sides into the shape of the Roc spreading its wings, which is probably a middle version of Gu Lie.
