Chapter 1047 True love of rock and roll (two chapters in one)
When Yang Qian and the others arrived, Yang Xiaoluo and his friends were sitting in the band lounge on the first floor of the livehouse, a little nervous and a little uneasy.
The band lounge is not very big. After all, this is a commercial performance venue, and most of the space must be used for live performances and audience experience.
Yuyin Town is not a relatively large-scale livehouse. Although it has existed for a long time and is one of the earliest livehouses in China that still survives, its long history does not mean that its conditions are good. Some livehouses are late to the game.
Brands, through financing and better planning, can often create professional livehouses with better experience and more spacious space.
In comparison, Yuyin Town, which is more like a large bar evolved from, seems rather outdated and has outdated equipment!
Fortunately, many audiences who like folk songs and rock also like retro, so Yuyin Ding simply focuses on retro style and sentimental cards. This can still attract many loyal audiences for it, and also attracts people from the Magic City and surrounding cities.
Emerging, niche rock bands provide a good place to express themselves.
However, the band room is still very small.
The four of Yang Xiaoluo and the others sat down, and together with some musical instruments and equipment nearby, it could be said that the band lounge was almost full, not to mention the makeup artist who provided touch-up services, and Yang Qian.
Yin Juan was sent to take care of them today.
If there are some performances in normal times, such a band lounge is barely enough for a band, but today is the "Saturday Band Party", and Yang Xiaoluo and his "Boys and Girls" are not the only ones participating in the event.
My friends were sitting inside, and from time to time people from other bands would open the door and come in.
"Hey, why are there a group of children in there?"
They almost always ask this question.
Fifteen or six-year-old children, no matter how slightly mature their clothes and makeup are, it is difficult to cover up their youthful faces, let alone when they sit there and see everyone who comes, they are surprised and nervous.
Looks like.
Isn't this how a child who hasn't seen much of the world should behave?
Fortunately, Yin Juan was there, and she quickly got up and went over to communicate with those people.
After learning that the band lounge was not open to the public and that Yin Juan also gave the name of Yuyin Town's boss, Lao Zhang, they walked away angrily.
This is not a big problem.
Because in the previous "Saturday Band Party" events, the band lounge was also not open to the public! I don't know if this lounge is too small, or the organizer thinks that ordinary new bands are not qualified to use the lounge.
The reason is that under normal circumstances, there is an iron lock here. Except during normal business praise periods, other people have no use for it if they want to use it.
The people who came to inquire today also took advantage of the opportunity to come in and sit down because they saw that the lounge was unlocked.
After Yin Juan said this, they did not dare to confront Lao Zhang, so they gave up the idea angrily.
"Luckily it's Sister Youjuan, otherwise we wouldn't know what to say."
Yang Xiaoluo patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Indeed, I feel like I have cancer from embarrassment."
Zhou Haiyan still felt a little frightened.
It has been a month and a half since she came to Shanghai. Although she has not completely changed from a rural girl to an urbanite, after contacting Yang Xiaoluo and being exposed to many new things on the Internet, Zhou Haiyan will also say some comparisons.
"Fashionable" Internet language.
"Don't worry, you can sing with peace of mind, just leave it to us. Otherwise, what's the point of having a manager, right? If an artist has to deal with this and that every day, he won't have the energy to do his own thing."
Yin Juan said with a smile.
"When I look at them, they have long hair and tattoos. They look so fierce."
Zhou Haiyan is a bit simpler after all. Although she lives at the bottom of the class, her family protects her very well, and the school and company also provide her with an environment where she can learn and grow without much interference.
"Isn't it like this for all rock and roll singers? Rebellion is the criterion for rock and roll."
Yin Juan smiled.
"Yes, there are many people like this in live house performances. But Sister Siwen said that they are not bad, some are just unconventional and independent, but they are still gentler and nicer people at heart. Maybe it's because of us
I don’t know much about them, so I think they are very vicious.”
Yang Xiaoluo nodded.
She has been here several times with Feng Siwen. Under Feng Siwen's leadership, the girl has transitioned from being unaccustomed to it at the beginning to now being able to accept it and ignore these "rock phenomena" and skip over to enjoy the music performance.
Of course, you still have to be afraid.
After all, these people with special clothes, hair, and accessories seem to be no different from street gangsters. Even if they did not cause any harm to other people and did not provoke trouble, Yang Xiaoluo did not want to overdo it.
Understand them. Isn’t maintaining a certain safe distance a form of self-protection?
"I don't think rock and roll needs to be rebellious."
Tian Dahe suddenly spoke.
Everyone turned to look at him in surprise. He usually didn't talk much, but now when he spoke, he expressed his stronger opinions.
It can be regarded as a thorough criticism of rock in the minds of many people.
Seeing Yin Juan looking at him, Tian Dahe showed a hint of embarrassment and an awkward smile.
"Teacher Yang said, rock and roll is a type of music, or style. But many people think that it was relatively unconventional when it first appeared, expressing inner emotions, so they think it should be rebellious.
Rock music that doesn’t object to this or that doesn’t belong to rock. This understanding is wrong from the beginning!”
Tian Dahe hesitated for a moment before continuing.
Tian Dahe likes rock very much! He likes her more than Zhou Haiyan, whose company intended to develop her into singing folk songs. She also liked rock music with him at the beginning, but later started to follow Yang Qian's lead and develop in many directions.
Tang Zhenliang likes it even more.
Therefore, although Tian Dahe does not express his opinions very much, he has a lot to say freely when it comes to rock music.
"In the final analysis, rock and roll is just a type of music. Just like, Teacher Yang said that Chinese style is a type of music and a carrier. There is no need to sing ancient stories, use ancient melodies, and use more ancient styles.
The words used to write about our era and our love, hatred and resentment are also Chinese style."
What Tian Dahe said made Tang Zhenliang open his mouth in surprise.
When did this good friend of mine become a philosopher?
And how did his knowledge of music become so profound?
Tang Zhenliang has not yet reached this level. He is studying how to write songs, and he is still studying how Teacher Yang writes melodies. As for the lyrics, they are all improvised and modified after racking his brains. There is no complete system.
However, Tian Dahe didn't have time to take into account his friend's surprise at the moment. He still had a lot to say in his heart.
"I saw people on the Internet saying that Teacher Yang is not really good at rock. Some of the rock songs he wrote are not rock, because Teacher Yang is not rebellious! These people are so funny! Teacher Yang doesn't understand rock, so do they?
Is it done?"
Tian Dahe spoke with some indignation, his face was bloodshot, as if he wanted to rush forward and argue for Yang Qian.
"Mr. Yang is actually a pop singer, not a rock singer. So, he doesn't care what others say."
Tang Zhenliang reminded him.
"I know, but I think Teacher Yang's understanding of rock is a hundred or ten thousand times better than theirs!"
Tian Dahe turned around, nodded to him, and then continued his long speech.
"Teacher Yang said that rock songs are not easily accepted by the mainstream because the content of most rock songs is for rebellion. Serious people feel embarrassed when they hear it, and they don't want their parents or children to hear it. So,
How can your song be on the stage?"
"Why not write some positive lyrics? Why not express some positive emotions? The core of rock and roll is a very passionate music rhythm, which is a relatively direct and true expression of emotions. It is not decadent, sinful, or rebellious. For the sake of rebellion
Rebellion, that’s not true love of rock and roll!”
"Anyway, I think Teacher Yang is right. Rock can also be expressed in a positive way, without tattoos or wearing such scary clothes! The real love of rock is not the kind of rock that is only for self-expression, but the kind of rock that wants to express itself.
We want rock music to become better, we want rock music to be liked by more people!”
Tian Dahe said so much in one breath. During this period, Yin Juan looked dumbfounded, and Yang Xiaoluo and Zhou Haiyan muttered strangely. He didn't even notice. He was talking passionately throughout the whole process.
"So much like Teacher Yang."
Yang Xiaoluo looked at Tian Dahe now and felt very familiar. Isn't this what Teacher Yang usually looks like when giving lectures?
Even Zhou Haiyan was surprised, because Tian Dahe usually didn't show such a strong desire to speak, and he still spoke in a very precise manner.
Of course, they are not laughing at Tian Dahe. They all agree with Tian Dahe's rock views.
Like Zhou Haiyan, she doesn't like too noisy rock performances, but she is very happy to form a band with her friends, because in school, their rock music is the kind of positive performance Yang Qian said.
In fact, Yang Qian's song "Once Upon a Time" that he sang to them has been performed countless times by various rock teams from Bowen School of Jincheng Middle School.
Yin Juan actually has a similar view to Yang Xiaoluo. She also feels that Tian Dahe has a temperament similar to that of Yang Qian.
However, Yin Juan doesn't think Tian Dahe is very similar to Yang Qian. She thinks this is a subtle influence - Yang Qian is using his personality charm and his musical attitude to influence the children he has trained!
Tian Dahe should be greatly influenced by Yang Qian, but he is not a special case.
Weren't Tang Zhenliang, Zhou Haiyan, Zhang Shanshan and others affected by Yang Qian?
Same thing!
It's just that maybe they don't accept Yang Qian's music ideas as firmly as Tian Dahe, but more or less, they all learned from Yang Qian's love for music, learned from Yang Qian's persistence in music, and learned from Yang Qian's love for music.
long-term pursuit!
It can be said that Yin Juan can see a lot of Yang Qian in these children who were once blank sheets of paper!
This is a good thing.
Because even Yin Juan, who came to the company very late, feels that Yang Qian is impeccable, both in music and character. These children learn from Yang Qian, and no matter what their future development is, they should be able to become real musicians
People, rather than fishing for fame and reputation, hanging on to the title of a singer to play with traffic.
"Dahe, it's good that you have this understanding. However, we don't need to argue with others. Everyone has their own understanding of rock and roll, and their own persistence, right? The same is true for Teacher Yang, he doesn't know how to
He would argue with others about what rock is, but he would use practical actions to do things that are beneficial to the genre of rock music."
Yin Juan thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said to Tian Dahe.
Fifteen or sixteen years old, this is adolescence and a rebellious child!
If you are not careful, you may touch his reverse scale.
Still have to guide it well
"Yes, this is also a true love for rock and roll. Sister Juan, I don't want to argue, I just think they don't really love rock and roll because of their tattoos."
Tian Dahe was excited for a long time. After calming down, he started to feel a little scared again. He scratched his head and even said with some shame.
"Then come on and sing, perform well tonight, let them see your rock and roll!"
Yin Juan encouraged.
Encouragement is still very effective, whether it is for adults or children.
Tian Dahe liked this very much. He nodded quickly. Although he didn't make a sound, his expression looked very serious.
The lounge was not soundproof, and while Yang Xiaoluo and the others were waiting, the music from other bands performing outside was constantly coming in.
Obviously, events like "Saturday Band Party" will not be of high quality.
Among the new bands, how many of them are up to normal standards? Even if there are, they are very rare. They only appear once for a long time, and then they are quickly discovered by the market, or they make short videos to become famous, or they follow Mo.
If you sign a contract with a major label like Star Music, go on a nationwide tour, or even participate in a show, how can you stay in Yuyin Town?
Most of the time, "Saturday Band Parties" are just old bands that have been around for a few years and are still struggling, and some new bands that are just starting out. The audience doesn't care if their music is rough, they are all about playing anyway, and the atmosphere is great.
It's enough to lift it up.
This is the case with the opening bands. It doesn't matter whether they sing in tune or not, or whether the lyrics are full of errors or omissions. The key is that their music is very dry, with vigorous drums and heavy metal singing. The atmosphere is very lively, but it is also noisy enough to take a rest.
The room felt a bit like a chicken and a dog jumping around.
Yang Xiaoluo and his friends looked at each other dumbfounded.
Even they are used to it and cannot complain about other people's "rock".
At such a level, they can even compete with them!
"I've heard it a few times before, and I think it's okay. I don't know why it's a bit stretched today."
Yang Xiaoluo was a little confused.
She didn't know that the performances Feng Siwen took her to were all performances by relatively capable bands or singers, and the band party they attended on Saturday was also a special mid-year event, and many well-qualified bands came to give Lao Zhang
Come on, the effect is naturally much better than tonight's.
