Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

"You guys sing and dance to your heart's content, I'll just watch for now, you don't have to change your clothes, just wear them like this, the point is I don't have any other style of clothes."

Neither country alternative nor agricultural heavy metal is a style that Mark can handle, so he doesn't have clothes of this kind.

"Yeah, you really don't have clothes of this style. It's not too late, why don't we buy some on the way there and change into them before going?" Ma Li said after thinking for a moment.

"Buy one like the one you have on?"

Mary's outfit was okay, casual jeans and canvas shoes, without too many metal accessories, which was still within Mark's acceptable range.

"Yes, buy it like this, it's considered a parent-child outfit, and by the way, let's buy a set for Manou as well."

"go!"

Shopping for clothes is a pretty simple thing, especially when Mary wants to do it quickly and isn't picky.

The two of them went to the mall and put on new skins within twenty minutes.

In order to match the style, Ma Li also changed her clothes, and then the two of them came to the outside of the concert venue.

"Dad, how is it? There are so many people, isn't it lively?"

Looking at the many people waiting, Mary said to Mark.

"It's not a lot, but it's quite noisy."

The venue was not large, and there were less than a hundred people waiting outside.

Compared with the major activities in school, it is undoubtedly a small scene, and there are not even as many spectators as a basketball team’s training game.

There are not many students in each class now, but when Mark first started teaching, there were nearly a hundred students in a class.

"Come on, let's go to the front. We can go in first if we stand in front."

Mary pulled Mark forward. Since the small concert was not long, they didn't need seats. They could just find a seat and stand after entering.

Maybe it was for this reason that many people had already arrived and were waiting to get in before the show even started.

"Slow down, there are so many people here, let me go in front."

Mark actually doesn't like this kind of disorderly entry.

There aren't even security guards to maintain order, probably to save some money.

A few security guards only earn a few hundred yuan, but it is so difficult for an unknown band to survive.

Although Mark advocates orderly queuing, in order not to be left behind, he can only try to find a position forward where he might be able to enter.

"You're still not allowed to enter?"

After getting to the front, she finally saw the staff. Mary looked at the time on her phone and asked.

"We have to wait a little longer."

"Isn't it time already?"

"It's not ready inside yet. The band is still getting ready. You can't go in yet."

The concert was rather hastily organized, and every aspect was haphazard.

"Lily, can we listen to some more professional concerts next time we go to concerts?"

Mark asked Mary, regardless of whether it was Qiu Feng's band, just because of the disorder, Mark didn't want Mary to come.

The people who like these are quite mixed, so there is a possibility of accidents.

"Dad, this band is quite professional. It's just that it's not popular yet, so the organization is not that good. When the band becomes popular, it will naturally become formal."

Ma Li is quite confident in the band, but this is quite blind, as the band’s own members have no confidence in the band.

"Lily, the media is so developed nowadays, how can there be so many people whose talents are not appreciated? This band is not popular, is it possible that the band itself is not talented enough?"

When it comes to releasing songs, you can spend a lot of money.

But if you don’t have money, the cost of releasing a song is actually very low.

Basically, it’s just the money for a recording studio and then uploading it to a music website.

If you really have the ability, you can rent a recording studio for a day or half a day and it won’t cost much. A few hundred to a few thousand dollars will be enough.

If it is really good, it can spread through word of mouth.

"Dad, don't be fooled by the poor conditions, but this band is really good. You'll know once you go in and listen."

Mary continued to recommend it to Mark, hoping that he would accept it.

"Okay, you can go in now. Everyone line up and enter in an orderly manner."

After waiting for a long time, the time had already passed the scheduled time of 7 o'clock, and there were about a hundred people waiting outside, and the staff finally let us in.

Mark still lacks experience and shouldn't have listened to Mary and come so early.

In this kind of concert, it is obvious that many people come on time or wait until the concert starts.
It’s not a big loss if you listen to fewer songs.

"Mirror Band's farewell concert, Lily, is this band going to fail?"

After entering, Mark saw a banner hanging on the stage, which clearly indicated the group was about to disband.

"How could that be? This band is doing pretty well and has a lot more fans than before. How could it be a farewell show?"

Ma Li found it hard to accept that her favorite band was going to disband and she was very emotional.

"Little girl, you may not know this, but the lead singer of this band has already left. They signed a contract with someone, so they are performing these few shows. Because we probably won't be able to hear them in the future, so so many people came to support them."

Mary's voice of surprise was so loud that it startled the enthusiastic girl next to her, and then the girl helped Mary explain.

"Is Qiu Feng gone? What happened to him? Is he sick or has he died?"

Ma Li really knows the band Mirror and even knows the name of each member.

This is better than Mark. Mark has also listened to a lot of the band's songs, but he can basically not name the members.

Not many people can call out the lead singer's name.

"Then I don't know. They came out."

The girl shook her head and stared towards the stage.

"Lily, is this what you admire about a band, a trio?"

Mark then asked Mary.

When the band came up, Mark saw the people he had seen before.

Mark didn't know the other two people, but he still had an impression of Li Peng, who had followed Mark and Wang Xiaomi once.

"It wasn't a group of three. Originally there were four of us."

Mary helped to explain in a nonsensical way, her mood already sinking.

"This trio looks pretty good, they should be quite capable."

Seeing that Qiu Feng was gone, Mark was in a good mood.

Now that the band is gone, Mark is relieved of a big worry.

None of them look outstanding and have any temperament.

For people to be willing to spend money to watch a performance, there must be some real talent involved.

Mark judges people based entirely on their appearance.

"Dear friends, thank you for coming to watch our Mirror Band's special performance. Thank you for your support during this period..."

The person who was speaking was Li Peng. Judging from where he was standing, he would also be the guest singer.

The response from the audience was quite enthusiastic.

The sense of interaction is very strong, almost like listening to a live performance in a bar. The experience is quite good, no wonder Ma Li likes it so much.

The atmosphere is really good, and it feels different from a large-scale concert.

"Lily, listen to the song. This song is pretty good. Is it interesting?"

After it started, Mark seemed to be happier than Mary.

After listening carefully, I think the song is okay, better than I expected.

"I want to ask them why such a good band wants to disband!" Ma Li was not very engaged in the discussion and was just thinking about her own concerns.

It would be better to say that Ma Li likes Qiu Feng more than to say that Ma Li likes the Mirror Band.

In a band like this, the lead singer is more eye-catching.

This is not a boy or girl group. The members are divided into lead singers, lead dancers, and main appearances, and there are also personal divisions of labor and different shining points.

The focus of the band is basically on the more prominent lead singer.

It would be better if other people had some creative ability and would have some sense of presence.

But since they can't sing and can't compose, the other members are no different from an ordinary band.

That is to say, they practice together more often and have better understanding of each other, so there are not so many outsiders paying attention to them.

"They're still performing. How presumptuous of you to ask that?"

Mark actually didn't want Mary to have too much contact with these people. If she had too much contact, she would inevitably have to come into contact with Qiu Feng.

This is somewhat uncontrollable and depends on Qiu Feng's character.

Mark was really afraid that Qiu Feng would take revenge on him. You stole my girlfriend, and I stole your daughter.

"Then wait until it's over, and then I'll ask." Mary insisted.

"How long will this take to finish? We have to go to school tomorrow, so we can't go back too late."

Mark tried to salvage it.

"It was over very quickly. It usually takes about an hour."

The time is indeed not long. If it were always this time, Mary would usually come to the concert secretly and go home around ten o'clock.

It's no wonder that Mark always thought Mary was playing outside with her classmates at this time.

"Lily, do we really have to go backstage?" After reluctantly watching the performance, Ma Li was anxious to go backstage to look for someone.

"What's wrong with going backstage? It's not like I haven't been there before." Mary should be more familiar with the band members than Mark thought.

"If you really want to go, then I have to tell you in advance that I have some unpleasantness with the lead singer just now. If I go with you, I am afraid that it will implicate you."

Since he couldn't stop her, Mark could only continue to explain the problem to Mary.

Mark actually has no grudge against Li Peng.

But I'm afraid that others will have opinions about Mark.

Li Peng was almost beaten by Mark and was interrogated. He definitely would not feel happy to see Mark.

Others are worried because Mark is now in a relationship with Wang Xiaomi.

It is inevitable that out of friendship, there will be some hostility towards Mark.

"Dad, you have always been kind to others, so how come you are unhappy with someone, and what's more, it happened to be with Li Peng?"

Finally, Ma Li stopped trying to go backstage.

In Mary's heart, Mark, her old father, is more important than a favorite band.

"It's a long story, let's go outside and talk about it."

"Let's go home then."

After taking a few more glances backstage, Mary decided to go home with Mark.

Obviously they knew that after this time, they wouldn't be able to find the band members backstage, as they would have to go off work anyway.

"So, Qiu Feng is Wang Xiaomi's ex-boyfriend?"

On the way back, Mark briefly told Mary about Li Peng's tracking.

Then the relationship between Qiu Feng and Wang Xiaomi was exposed.

"Yes, I just found out today when I went with you."

Apart from the problem of the Sky Eye, Mark was able to discover this only after he went to see it.

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Mary said unwillingly.

"It's just such a coincidence. I didn't expect that you liked this band. If you had taken me there earlier, you could have discovered this problem earlier. But that's not right. If you had taken me there earlier, I wouldn't have known Qiu Feng."

Mark must meet Qiu Feng first before he can identify the right person.

"Is Qiu Feng going to disband the band because of Wang Xiaomi?"

The timing was a bit unfortunate. Before the two of them could calm down, Ma Li became even more resentful towards Wang Xiaomi.

"What does this have to do with Wang Xiaomi? It's been a long time since they broke up, and the band just disbanded."

As for the disbanding of the band, it is more likely to be said that it has something to do with Mark.

Qiu Feng was unwilling to be outdone by Mark, so he decided to change himself and disbanded the band. Mark even advised him a lot.

Rather than putting the blame on Wang Xiaomi, it would be better to put the blame on Mark.

"It was a pretty good band, and it just disappeared."

There is always this kind of regret when chasing stars, especially when chasing any group.

Most of them can't hold on, and after a long time, they will always face disbandment.

"It's not that bad. I think the band members are getting old. It's time for them to do something serious. At this age, they have to be self-reliant and solve their own food problems."

Among the members of the Mirror Band, there are two second-generation rich people and two from ordinary families.

Thanks to the continuous subsidies from two wealthy people, the band was able to be formed and the training could continue.

But the subsidies for the rich second generation are just to subsidize the band's expenses.

It's impossible for two people to support two others.

Two people from ordinary backgrounds always have to eat, and they don’t have the capital to play hobbies with the rich second generation.

Disbanding the band may not necessarily be a bad thing for two people who need to solve survival problems.

"Now that you're in a band, don't you have any dreams at all?"

"The reason why dreams are dreams is that they can only be thought of in dreams. People should still be down-to-earth."

In other words, first stand firmly on the ground and then pursue your dreams.

"Ah... if I want to meet Qiu Feng now, I can only find Wang Xiaomi, right?"

Ma Li may be more concerned about the band's future than any other member of the band.

This is not uncommon. Many times, fans are more dedicated than the actors themselves.

This is also the thing that Mark dislikes most about crazy star chasing.

"Lily, you are trying to trick your father. You asked your father's girlfriend to contact her ex-boyfriend. Have you considered how your father and I feel?"

Although this is indeed an opportunity for Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi to ease their relationship, Mark does not want to use this method.

"Can you give me a contact number?"

"It's not that troublesome. If you really want to see Qiu Feng, Dad will help you solve it."

Mark and Qiu Feng are now in a close relationship, so if Ma Li wants to meet Qiu Feng, there is no need for Wang Xiaomi.

Although letting Mary meet Qiu Feng did not meet Mark's expectations.

But if they have to meet, Mark thinks it's better to do it under his nose rather than meeting in private.

By having the two meet at the gym, Mark can also keep track of the situation at all times.

"When can we meet?" Mary asked anxiously.

Mark seemed to have seen how Mary would leak air in the future.

When growing up, it is inevitable for girls to be extroverted.

"Not sure yet, but I'll try to get you to meet someone next week."

Mark felt a little regretful at this time, because he didn't exchange phone numbers with Qiu Feng last time. (End of this chapter)
