From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 295 Departure! Taiyuan
In fact, I found that there is not much difference between us and ordinary office workers. We also have a basic salary, but it is very low, and the company also buys five social insurances and one housing fund for us. This is something I did not expect before signing the record company.

Lisa sent us to the apartment and she went back to the company. I read Ying Qingyao’s lyrics, and they were pretty good, but I didn’t have any inspiration to compose the song. Check out the promotional video and background story.

This is a martial arts game. The lyrics and music should reflect the feeling of the Jianghu, and the arrangement should be more ancient, and then interspersed with rock style. The arrangement is relatively standard, so the expression of the lyrics and music is very important.

"Captain, did the lyrics I wrote make it difficult for you to compose the song?"

At some point, Ying Qingyao appeared next to me, causing my body to tremble. I said to her, "Qingyao, do you walk silently? Your soul is almost scared to death by you."

"Hee hee, then I will stomp my feet and walk in next time!"

I was speechless, "Okay, the structure of your lyrics is really not reasonable, let's study it together, and we will make good changes where we need to change."

"Alright, Captain!"

I underestimated Ying Qingyao before, but after some conversations, I realized that she was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Her music theory skills are actually quite solid. When composing, she had a lot of suggestions, and Shen Qier didn't bother her. Us, she didn't come until evening to ask us to go out to dinner.

Time slipped away again at my fingertips, and it was the first day of August in a blink of an eye. Just today, the Qinsheng band was once again on the hot search.

Their mini-album has been released. There are five songs in it. I clicked on the video on Weibo to listen to it. It was very hot and explosive. They originally released the song last month, but for some reason the time was adjusted to August.

Wang Chuchu's band was a bit deserted. They released their single on the last day of July, and it wasn't on the hot search list, but there was also a group of fans who followed them and silently supported them.

There are only a few days before the Watermelon Music Festival in Xi'an. We have a lot to do before the festival. In addition to completing the production of the game theme song, we also need to prepare 5 performance songs for the festival.

Since we released fewer original songs in the early days, we also had to adapt two songs from other bands.

We rehearse during the day and arrange music at night, and this will be the norm in our lives from now on!
In the dead of night, Li Jian's snoring came from the bed next door. I didn't feel sleepy. Putting on my headphones, I listened to the song from the album "Fresh Dream" by the Qinsheng band.

The five songs are all sung by Xia Qing, which is very pleasant to hear. I feel that Xia Qing's singing skills are more stable than before. One of the songs sang:
"Pretend you never left, pretend you've always been the one you love."

Before I finished listening, I had mixed feelings in my heart. I always felt that she was talking to me through music. I would rather be thinking too much.

……

Three days later, the four of us were frantically playing musical instruments in the rehearsal room. Lisa walked in with a bag of milk tea. She said to us:

"Everyone stop for a while, milk tea is here, let's replenish some energy and practice again!"

"Sister Lisa, you are so kind to us!"

Li Jian put down his instrument and ran to Lisa to take the milk tea, and then gave the milk tea to us.

Lisa smiled and said, "You can take a look at the official Weibo of the Watermelon Music Festival. The program list has been arranged. There are surprises, and your old friends are here."

"What old friend?" I asked curiously.

"You'll know it when you see it!"

I took out my phone and found the official Weibo. Before I clicked on it, I heard Li Jian yelling loudly, "Oh my God! This is so bloody! Qinsheng Band. And Xichu Overlord Band, they all participated!"

Indeed, this is something I did not expect, but it is also reasonable!In addition to inviting bands to this music festival, there are also several Rap and DJs who just came out of the rap show
"The gods fight, the gods fight!" Li Jian kept repeating.

"I believe you are the gods inside, come on everyone~" Lisa made a cheering gesture and said, "Send me your ID number, and I will buy high-speed rail tickets for you right now. You can concentrate on rehearsing, and leave all the food, accommodation and transportation to me." I'm the agent."

"Thank you, Lisa!"

All of a sudden, the sound of musical instruments sounded in the rehearsal room again. I am really happy to have a manager. If I arrange these things, I must not be as good as Lisa.

The band is not as beautiful as imagined, the scenery is just a few minutes on the stage, very quickly, during the rehearsal, over and over again, boring, my hands hurt so much that I can’t move the strings, and Shen Qier’s voice can’t bear it anymore .

……

On the afternoon of August [-]th, we took the high-speed train and left BJ with our musical instruments. This was the first time our band participated in such an event. We were inevitably excited and nervous. Ying Qingyao was the most relaxed. She didn’t need to bring a drum kit. The three of us People carry musical instruments and bags.

I have already sent the theme song of the game company to the mailbox of their person in charge yesterday. I have tried my best to see if I can stand out and be selected in the end, and leave the rest to fate!

Looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, I finally lived the life I envied in school. I took the road of music, and then went around China to participate in music festivals. Thinking of the changes in my life over the past year, I became quiet again stand up.

During this period of time, I received a lot of concern from my old classmates, and I responded modestly to each of them. If I hadn’t cooperated with Teacher Xiaokai, I don’t think some people who don’t have a deep friendship would come to praise me.

"Taiyuan, here we come!"

About three hours later, we arrived at Taiyuan South Railway Station. This was my first time in Taiyuan. There were many tourists in the square. Lisa suggested to take a group photo with the four of us, and a photo with "Taiyuan South Railway Station" in the background was posted on the official blog. superior.

We went to the hotel to get settled first, and then we went to the festival to tune, so that's why we came a day early.

The music festival lasts for three days, starting at 09:30 pm and ending at 18:[-] pm every day. Our band is arranged to play on the first day at about [-]:[-]. This time period is okay, neither at the front nor at the back.

Taiyuan is a city with a long history. It used to be the ancient capital of nine dynasties. It has many famous ancient buildings. If I have time, I don’t want to just sit in the car and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the streets. I want to go around every corner of the city. Turn around and stand on the bridge to enjoy the beauty of the Fen River.
Not long after, the online car-hailing service took us to the door of a fast hotel. In order to save money, we only booked two rooms, and Lisa and the other three women shared one room. If one day our performance can live in a five-star hotel In the hotel, I think we were pretty successful then.

"See, let's smoke!"

I threw a cigarette on Li Jian's bed, held back all the way, and finally had a chance to smoke one. Lisa called after a while:

"are you ready?"

"almost."

"Gather in the hall for a while, and when you go to the live tuning later, you will have a brief rehearsal. After all, it is the first time you are performing outdoors, find out how you feel, and don't make mistakes tomorrow."

"Hmm, it's over!"
