From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 113 Participating in the Band's Variety Show

The only thing is that the sound insulation effect is a bit poor. Even in winter, there are still many people who come to eat barbecue, and the noisy sound does not feel noisy. On the contrary, this kind of atmosphere is what we want at this moment.

Fate is something that no one can say for sure. If it weren't for the band, the few of us wouldn't have gathered here to drink and eat meat.Just like watching band variety shows, when those bands talked about the sad things in the past, they were reluctant to spend a penny on food, drink and clothing. A musical instrument cost tens of thousands of dollars. Buying it and running around with the musical instrument on their backs cost tens of dollars per show. Never give up, maybe this is the band!

We ordered two cases of beer. I actually didn’t want to drink that much. I can’t drink too much.Tonight I also plan to go all out. Since everyone is happy, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman.

Later, another box was added, with an average of 6 bottles per person.I'm the type who doesn't go to the bathroom easily when I drink, so my stomach is very full now. As long as I take another sip, I feel like I can spit out everything I ate before.

Shen Yu gave us another Ninety-five cigarette: "Brothers, I feel that our performance tonight is neither a success nor a failure. We can't keep singing other people's songs. The audience has reached a certain level. I’m always tired, like the Slackers, when they played their original music, the atmosphere on the scene was obviously much higher, what I want to express is that if the band wants to develop, they still have to make original music.”

They all looked at me, and I understood what they meant. In our band, Shen Yu and I are the only ones who can really write songs. Lao Wan and the others have also said before that they can propose some suggestions for their respective instruments when arranging songs.

"Yun Qian, this matter can only depend on you and Shen Yu. Relatively speaking, you two have a solid sense of music and knowledge of music theory." Wan Shihao looked left and right and said: "Since we have decided that the band will go to pop rock direction, the original words are mainly folk songs and pop rock, and these two styles of music are the most acceptable to the public in the live market.”

"Well, that's what I want to do, and my brothers know that I've always wanted to be a band like Mayday. It's too hard-core. First, it's relatively small in China. Second, I'm not good at creating music. of."

Songwriting is such a thing, it is not difficult to write a good song, the difficulty lies in how to be different, popular but not popular.It’s not that I don’t have any inspiration recently. I’m only on the track of a band today. I’ve been bowing my head for life before. I haven’t even finished the arrangement of the song I want to sing to Xia Qing.

"Rather than creating, I am more worried about how the band will increase its popularity. For a band like ours, let alone how many branches there are in the country, there are countless above and below ground in W City. They also have many original works. In the end, it is not the same. Obscurity."

Chang Yang told all the realities, and we all seemed a little depressed.It’s not that I haven’t thought about doing self-media, Douyin, Bilibili, and posting some rehearsal videos and original videos, but the effect is not good.

The current crowd generally has a characteristic. If a band has a cool and beautiful musician, then people will click in and watch it if they are curious. Watching a group of old men, it is difficult for others to click in on self-media unless they are famous.

I lit a cigarette by myself and said, "Don't lower your head. The old saying is not unreasonable. Isn't this the status quo of a band like ours! After all, we are not Xiaqing, the company strongly supports us, and we can participate in so many music I also said before that we can only do some self-media or something, but it feels far from enough. I think so, when we release originals when we perform in bars, the guests will know and search for our songs online. "

"Yun Qian, then this is no different from before, it's far from enough!" Guo Kai interrupted.

"Kaizi, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet, so listen to me."

I understood their feelings, and continued: "I don't know if you have paid attention to some band-themed variety shows such as "Summer of the Band", "Let's Band Together", etc. Anyway, the threshold of these programs is there, as long as it is a band As for the audition, as for whether it will be selected or not, no one can say for sure, I think we can participate in it later, as long as we can record the program, the popularity will definitely increase, agree?"

"It's mainly a good idea, Yunqian, but I think this year's competition is over. If you want to register for the audition, you probably have to wait until next summer."

Shen Yu checked the relevant information on his mobile phone and showed it to us.These two programs have indeed ended, and the registration for the audition for the next season has not yet come out, so everyone can't help but feel a little frustrated.

"It's a pity. If we got together earlier and signed up for the audition, we might still meet some of the more famous bands in the industry, such as Painful, New Pants, Jiulian Zhenren, etc. God will not favor us!" Li Jian sighed. .

"Don't complain, Lao Li, come here, let's have a toast! Everyone, don't be so depressed. Tonight's show is over, and the future will be long. There are many variety shows of this type, so pay attention to them at ordinary times, and sign up if you have the opportunity. "I held up the wine glass, we drank white wine again, I finally couldn't stand it anymore, ran to the toilet and vomited.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when I got home drunk, and I opened WeChat to share with Xia Qing the mood of today's performance, only to find that Su Mengyuan sent me a message at 23:[-].

It’s the video of me singing "Starry Sky". I smiled and clicked in to watch it again. Seeing myself on stage, I almost laughed again. It’s not that the typhoon is bad. Anyone who sees himself performing, always feels weird in his heart of.

"Thank you!" I simply replied these three words to Su Mengyuan, without too much communication, and I didn't know if she was asleep.

Japan’s Tokyo is an hour faster than China’s. Xia Qing’s night is deeper than mine, and I’m not afraid to disturb her rest. With the help of alcohol, I want to say what I’m talking about right now. I sent her WeChat several paragraphs, which are very, very long Wechat, roughly talking about the mood of tonight's performance and the band's future development plans.

After I finished speaking, I went to check Moments. About 5 minutes later, Xia Qing replied to me by voice. She said that she is doing well in Tokyo and will start training immediately. She is also happy for me to start a band life. The recorded video was sent to her.

Me: "Let me show you, we have rehearsed this song before, and I will sing it tonight."

Xia Qing: "Yeah, the time is fast and you sing very well, Yun Qian, have you had a drink?"

Me: "I'll go, your clairvoyance still installed a camera in my room, you all know that!!!"

Xia Qing: "/Laughing and crying, guess what! Yo, Yunqian, which little sister recorded you again?"
