"Rock music is a good business." Father Ding held Su Yi's hand with emotion.
"As long as it's something sentimental, people are willing to pay for it," Su Yi said with a smile.
"Then - happy cooperation?" Ding's father said.
"Please, uncle." Su Yi said.
"I'm the one asking you to do it." Father Ding said seriously, "Su Yi, I want to take back what I said before. You are indeed the most talented young man I have ever seen, and talented young people are often...
The most handsome one! Uncle makes a promise to you. As long as you don’t do anything to disgrace Jianguo, you can really call me dad sooner or later.”
Su Yi forced out a smile: "Dad, go back quickly, the aunts are all waiting impatiently."
"..."
No matter how much Su Yi disliked Cheng Gong, he had to admit that he was a capable person.
In the next few days, the band entered into intense rehearsals, and Cheng Gong took the initiative and won a rock concert in a nursing home, a Union Square performance by the Sunset Red Yangko Team, seven performances to express condolences to workers, and six school art performances.
A series of intensive performances.
The matter of demolishing the rock park and dismantling the big guitar suddenly began to be hyped. Several local media and even provincial media began to use sensational words to arouse people's feelings. Public celebrities on the Internet collectively picked up the topic.
At this time, the band, which did not have a tacit understanding, began the "Ji'an Tour".
Normally during a performance, the band has time for three songs. Occasionally, it can only sing one.
"Choose C" is a must-sing track at every performance.
The second song is often requested by the organizer, and if it is not sung, the performance will not be allowed.
For example, "Working Ballad" and "Children Leaving Home" are sung on the construction site, "The Internationale", "We Are the Successors of Socialism", "Red Songs" are sung on campus, and "The most beautiful thing is the sunset is red" and "Northern Country" are sung in nursing homes.
"Spring", as well as "Tears Behind Bars" and "Ten Shouldn'ts" in prison.
It can be said that it covers a wide range of topics.
For the third song, it depends on the occasion.
If you are younger and more lively, you can sing "Songs Written by Ding Jianguo"; if you are a more solemn and older person, you can sing "Loneliness" by Yang Shuangshu.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but Su Yi never sung “The Road” once in a performance. He would rather sing Cui Jian and Zang Tianshuo’s songs than Su Yi’s.
Ding Jianguo specifically questioned Cheng Gong, and his answer was very convincing - "The Road" has no market, and singing it will only waste feelings, everyone's time and opportunities.
Since the last conflict between Cheng Gong and Su Yi, neither party has any intention of easing their relationship. Cheng Gong is deliberately marginalizing Su Yi, and everyone can see it.
What puzzled everyone was that Su Yi showed tolerance that no one could understand. He seemed to be unaware and just played the drums quietly and performed.
Half a month has passed. The band has become popular in a small area in Ji'an and has some fans, but it is not even close to everyone's expectations.
Although Cheng Gong has been working hard to find opportunities for the band and promote it, the band has been half-dead from beginning to end.
On September 16th, Su Yi received a call from Ding’s father.
"I have found someone to demonstrate the project. It is very feasible and is indeed a good deal. The government is more interested in this project than my original plan! Xiao B, I think we can start."<
/p>
"Then let's get started." Su Yi looked at Cheng Gong, who was writing the name of the heroic band on the whiteboard not far away, and said slowly with a smile.
"Okay, I will meet him tonight." Ding's father said with great interest, "Hey, Xiao Yi, using money to bribe people, I have never done such a bad thing in my whole life. You have brought uncle down." "..."
Su Yi silently hung up the phone.
Uncle, stop pretending, Ji'an has already realized the four modernizations.
When Su Yi walked back, the debate about the band name was forming a deadlock.
Ding Jianguo proposed the "Tengu Band" because if the name matches a dog, it will last forever.
Hu Liang proposed the "Big Broken Truck Band" because he recently transformed an abandoned fire truck into a band caravan, and he was very proud of it.
Yang Shuangshu proposed the "Post-Wife Band" because he has always wanted to find a wife to spend the rest of his life with.
Xixi proposed the "Little Beauties Band" because she thought she was just a little beauty.
No one could convince anyone. When he saw Su Yi coming back, Hu Liang immediately asked: "Eleven, just tell me who you support?"
"Tengu." Su Yi said without thinking, "This is the most normal."
"Damn, you girls are so stubborn that you pretend I didn't ask." Hu Liang couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"But in this case, the Tengu Band will have two votes." Xixi said, "The other names will only have one vote."
"Then let's call him Tengu?" Hu Liang looked at Cheng Gong.
"Let's put it aside for now." Cheng Gong said with a smile, "Take a ten-minute break and we'll decide again, and everyone will think about it again."
No one refuted his words.
During this period, Cheng Gong used his performance and methods to win the absolute leading core position of the band, and he had absolute influence in the band.
Compared with last time, if there were no accidents, it would be impossible for Su Yi to shake Cheng Gong's status again.
During the break, Cheng Gong talked about his past and said that the reason why he embarked on the road of music was because his mother used a sewing machine to step him on to his current path.
Hu Liang was deeply moved and suggested on the spot that the name of the band be "Gong Ge's Band".
Naturally, they were mercilessly despised, so "Sewing Machine Band" naturally became the most popular candidate.
Compared to Tengu and several other weird names, Sewing Machine Band seems to have more meaning.
Of course, it is more meaningful to Cheng Gong.
"If you don't have any objections, then let's call it the Sewing Machine Band?" Hu Liang said with great interest.
Everyone nodded, or couldn't comment.
"I don't agree." Su Yi suddenly said calmly.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Su Yi.
"No, Shiyi, are you still thinking about Tengu?" Hu Liang laughed, "There are many people supporting the Sewing Machine Band now."
"Really?" Su Yi smiled slightly, "We play music, not tailors. What does it mean to call it a sewing machine?"
"This is not Brother Gong's damn..."
"What the hell, what does it have to do with our band?" Su Yi interrupted him without politeness, "I still propose to call him Tengu! I love so and so!"
Bang!
He threw the drum stick out, turned around and walked out.
"No, where did this fuss come from?" Hu Liang was dumbfounded.
"Is this directed at me?" Cheng Gong said with a sneer, a bit cruel in his eyes, "It's really interesting..."
Ding Jianguo looked at Su Yi's leaving figure, suddenly stood up and walked out.
When she was almost at the door, she suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, I still insist on Tengu."
Cheng Gong narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
"Alas." Yang Shuangshu stood up and walked out. "Then let's go to Tengu. In fact, Tengu is quite interesting..."
Cheng Gong's expression froze and he looked at Yang Shuangshu in disbelief, but Yang Shuangshu didn't even look at him.
Qiao Meixi rolled her eyes and suddenly ran outside: "Grandpa, wait for me!"
