Chapter 20

When Li Mu, who did not have a driver's license, drove all the way to the outskirts of Jinling, it was already 11:40 noon. Although he encountered some traffic police along the way, none of them tried to stop the A6 for inspection, which was a lot more convenient.

Before entering the city, Li Mu switched with Chen Wan again. He didn't know where Chen Wan was going, and Chen Wan couldn't tell herself, so she just let her drive by herself.

Chen Wan first took out her mobile phone and made a call, telling the other party that she was in Jinling, but she needed to eat first and then go to the other party. The two parties agreed on a time to meet at a certain place at 1:30 in the afternoon.

When Chen Wan hung up the phone, Li Mu asked curiously, "Sister Wan, what are you doing here in Jinling? You won't tell me if you ask me all the way."

"Me." Chen Wan smiled and blinked mysteriously: "Secret!"

"Okay." Li Mu felt that it was boring, so he didn't ask any further.

Chen Wan was familiar with the provincial capital, and drove slowly into the city. First, she found a restaurant and had a meal with Li Mu, and then drove Li Mu to a commercial area not far from the hotel.

Li Mu went to university in Jinling in her last life, and knew that the commercial area she went to was very special.

This was originally a failed commercial street development project in Jinling. I wanted to develop a pedestrian street, but it didn't work. Later, many idle facade houses were occupied by some art people, who were engaged in art, sculpture, photography and music. There were even several teams specializing in making original videos that developed here. Some of them have the taste of Yanjing 798, but in terms of scale and maturity, they are far worse than 798, not to mention that it is still only a prototype. It is a place where Jinling local Xiaowenqing pretends to be forceful.

There are several music bars along the street, and there are several cafes with a slightly higher artistic style, several piano shops, several art galleries, and dance training classrooms.

In the beginning, it was a place where college students, a few foreign students and foreign teachers like to come, and gradually it became a gathering place for young literary and artistic people.

Li Mu didn't know what Chen Wan was here to do. He helped Chen Wan put the car into the parking space, and Chen Wan walked in with him.

All the way to the deepest part of this commercial street, Li Mu was taken to a place called "Jinling Noise Control".

"Noise suppression?" Li Mu stared at the graffiti-style signboard and asked in surprise, "Does it make noise?"

"Well." Chen Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled and said, "My cousin did it, the band rehearsal room and recording studio."

Li Mu pouted, could it be that Chen Wan likes this? Running all the way here, isn't it just to watch the rehearsal of the local underground band?

As for Li Mu, who went to Jinling to go to university in the second half of 2001, he really experienced the level of local underground bands in 2001.

Nowadays, most local bands basically can't even play "Really Love You", and all the bands use domestic five-rate musical instruments. Only the lead guitarist can have a Japanese Zoom 505 effector, and the speakers used are also bad. , the sound is made like shit, and the metal rock sounds full of plastic. If the bass player plays a note with a little effort and feeds it back into the speaker, it's like an elephant farting.

But since he was here, Li Mu didn't think much about it. Anyway, to accompany Chen Wan, she would do whatever she liked.

Stepping into Jinling Noise Control, Li Mu began to realize something.

Although this place was deeply hidden, after entering, Li Mu discovered that this place turned out to be a very high-end band rehearsal room.

When Li Mu was in college, he also played in a band as an amateur. He worked part-time for half a year and could only afford a fifth-rate electric guitar. He spent all day watching pictures of imported musical instruments on the Internet. Saw it all here.

A four-piece rock band was holding a meeting in the rehearsal room at this time,

It's like rehearsing.

Li Mu could see at a glance that one of the long-haired guitarists was holding a sunset-colored GIBSON, the same model as the Slash of Guns and Flowers, and it cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

The equipment of the other guitarist and bass player is also very good, basically they are world-class first-line brands, and the drummer is even more animal, not counting the top Japanese TAMA drum set, just a set of various cymbals. Thousands of dollars can't come down.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, these are all local tyrants!

Holding the sunset-colored GIBSON, the long-haired boy looked twenty-four or five. When he saw Chen Wan coming in, he whistled and said with a smile, "Xiao Wan, didn't I ask you to come at 1:30? That's just a little bit."

"Come and watch your rehearsal." Chen Wan smiled and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a while, your hair is growing again."

The long-haired young man laughed, looked at Li Mu and asked, "Is this the little brother you were talking about?"

"That's right." Chen Wan hurriedly grabbed Li Mu and introduced to everyone, "Brothers, this is my younger brother, Li Mu."

Li Mu was at a loss, why did he involve himself in it?

Not knowing what was going on, the long-haired young man stretched out his hand to Li Mu and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Kexuan, I'm Chen Wan's cousin, I heard from Chen Wan, you can write songs, and Wrote a very nice piece of work?"

Li Mu's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned to Chen Wan with a dazed expression...

Chen Wan was a little embarrassed by Li Mu, and hurriedly said with a guilty conscience: "That's Li Mu, the zebra zebra you sang last time, I think it sounds very good, and then I especially hope that you can record this song, so I just follow My cousin contacted him, the front of him is the rehearsal room, and the back is the recording studio, I didn’t explain it to you before coming here, so don’t be mad at me, okay?”

Zhang Kexuan also nodded and said: "Li Mu, right, let me tell you, the equipment I have here is expensive, and I dare not say that the recording effect is comparable to those well-known recording studios in the United States, but in private recording studios in China, it is also It’s one of the best, I’ll record a demo for you later, and if you’re interested, you can send it to the record company to try it out.”

"Forget it." Li Mu waved his hand: "I'm just an amateur music lover, and I don't want to make any records."

"Hi!" Zhang Kexuan said nonchalantly, "It's no big deal. If you don't want to make a record, it's good to record a demo as a souvenir!"

"That's right!" Chen Wan said with a pleading expression, "It's mainly because I think your "Zebra Zebra" is so good, you can record it and keep it for yourself, and you can also copy it to MP3 for me. Wouldn't it be nice if I could listen to it?"

Li Mu sighed, MP3s are so expensive these days, they are not much cheaper than mobile phones. Moreover, he has really convinced this sister Bai Fumei, and he is eager to record a song.

There is also this Zhang Kexuan and his three teammates, Nima, the sound insulation, lighting, high-end split speakers, mixing consoles of the entire rehearsal room, these equipment plus their musical instruments, it is estimated that it will be in the millions!

If the standards of the recording studios in the back are really higher, it will be even more outrageous. It is normal for a vocal microphone to be hundreds of thousands, and a pair of monitor speakers is also normal for hundreds of thousands. This is not even counting the recording equipment. My God, a few million to rock and roll? crazy?

In this day and age, why don't you make a fortune in China with this money... Is the life of the rich second generation so exaggerated...

But Li Mu thought about it, it's a good thing for the rich second generation to have money to engage in rock and roll, it's better than buying millions of sports cars and going out to harm ordinary people.

Li Mu can't say anything, he's all here. Since Chen Wan really wants to listen to "Zebra Zebra", she can record it herself. Anyway, she doesn't want to spend money on her own. When she goes to university, others will brag to her that she has done it before. When it comes to awards, I can still brag with others. My brother graduated from high school and released a demo, and my brother is also a person who has a single.

At this time, Zhang Kexuan saw that Li Mu's expression had eased a lot, so he said: "You guys sit down first, we will queue twice now, we have signed up for the Ice Power Pioneer National Band Competition, and the preliminary competition will be held in a few days, and we are nervous. Rehearsing."

Li Mu nodded and sat down with Chen Wan. Zhang Kexuan communicated with a few buddies in the band and said, "Come on, let's finish the repertoire."

Li Mu thought to himself that he didn't seem to have any impression of Zhang Kexuan in his previous life. It stands to reason that with such a powerful equipment, even if such a band is not very strong, it will be very famous in Jinling. Why haven't I heard of it?

Just thinking about it, the band has already performed.

"You are my angel, my ANGEL, bring me luck and endless happiness..."

Isn't this Dada famous song? Li Mu vomited a mouthful of black blood. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Dada released an album in January this year. These buddies are so powerful that they even play Copy. Don't you know that the original is the king of the band?

However, although they are not original, their playing skills are still passable. The lead singer is Zhang Kexuan. His voice is not bad, but Li Mu feels that his voice is not suitable for this kind of pop-punk style song.

Li Mu and Chen Wan listened to them arranging three songs in a row. In addition to Dada Band, there are Beyond "Earth" and "Don't Come to Me" by Black Panther.

After the three songs were sung, Zhang Kexuan was tired like his grandson, especially the last song of the Black Panther, his voice was not able to sing up, it was very reluctant.

"Li Mu, you've written songs yourself, so you must have some foundation. How many comments can you give to brother?" Zhang Kexuan looked at Li Mu expectantly.

Anyway, I must have learned a little bit of being able to play guitar and write songs these days, although most of the songs written by fans are a bit appalling in Zhang Kexuan's opinion.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then said seriously: "Pop punk, pop rock, hard rock, the styles are too messy, and you can only imitate, exactly copy the original, without any adaptations of your own."

"The most important thing is that your voice is not suitable for these three styles, but you haven't tried to sing in your own style. You have spent so much money on a band, so you don't even have a style that suits you. found it?"

"Sun!" Zhang Kexuan and the other members of the band were stunned, this kid hit the nail on the head...
