Wu Jianye discovered that after his rebirth, everything had changed, even the Chinese rock circle with which he had relatively few interactions.
Arctic Light has now become the largest rock circle in Yanjing, Cui Jian, Tang Dynasty, Black Panther, Face, Bronze, Cobra, Compass...
These bands all play here occasionally.
The dim lights, the noisy crowd, and the long-haired band members on the stage formed the atmosphere here.
Wu Jianye was sitting backstage, and what was singing on the stage was the Compass band, which was just formed last year. Now the lead singer of Compass is Luo Qi, who is known as the first female rock singer in China!
"Come Back" and "As You Like It" are both classic rock songs.
Cui Jian sat next to Wu Jianye, and there was a middle-aged man next to him.
"Teacher Wu, this is Wang Xibo, the brother of Wanli Horse King!" Cui Jian introduced Wu Jianye.
Wang Xibo was wearing a ponytail at this time, with a fairly strong figure and a small beard. However, he was very polite and did not have the aggressiveness of rock singers of this era.
"Director Wu, I've heard about you a long time ago, but I haven't thanked you yet. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have a gathering place!" Wang Xibo looked very polite.
In fact, if you want to trace the history of rock music in China, Wang Xibo and Wang Xibo's "Wanli Mawang" band are both existences that have to be mentioned.
The band "Wanli Mawang" can be regarded as China's first rock band.
After the college entrance examination was resumed, Wang Xibo, Wan Xing, Li Shichao, and Ma Xiaoyi formed the band "Wanli Mawang" at Yanjing International Studies University in 1979.
While ordinary people in China were still listening to revolutionary songs, these people were already qualified to listen to Beatles songs.
Later, Wang Xibo was also called Lao Ge, and gradually replaced his name.
Cui Jian's "Rock on the New Long March" actually involved my brother, who was the recording artist for this album.
As for why I said that just now, it’s because Northern Lights was invested by Wu Jianye.
The old people here all know it, but the new bands that come here to perform on stage know very little about it.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Brother, you're welcome, I don't have many hobbies, rock music is one of the few!"
The old man said: "Director Wu, you can't say it's a hobby. Even now, your "Turn Out" is still one of our favorite rock albums!"
Wu Jianye's "Born Out of the Sky" has almost become a bible in the domestic rock circle in this era. Many people are imitating the songs in it and creating their own songs.
"I was just messing around. I can't compare with professionals like you!" Wu Jianye said modestly.
In fact, Wu Jianye knows his own affairs. He sings purely because of his personal hobby, but compared with these old guns, he is definitely not on the same level of professionalism!
"Teacher Wu, you are boring now. I heard that you sang "Walking Man" at a class reunion some time ago? Why, let us listen to it if you have time?" Cui Jian said rudely.
The two of them have known each other for a long time, so their conversation was naturally rude.
At this time, Cui Jian would not wear the iconic red star hat on weekdays, but would have long hair above the ears. But compared with the band members on stage who could match the length of girls' hair, that
It's not even close.
"You have time, I'm just tired from writing scripts today, so I want to come over to change my mood!"
The filming of "Enjoyable" has already begun. The crew of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" has Zhang Zi'en supervising the preparations. As for "The World of Chu Xing" shot by Wu Jianye himself, Wu Jianye also watched Zhao Le's editing progress today.
In the evening, after writing the script for a while, I felt a little bored, so I took Dai Zhen to the Northern Lights, where I happened to see Cui Jian and my brother there.
At this time, Wu Jianye saw a thin young man in the corner, sitting there silently wiping the flute in his hand, which seemed out of place with the environment.
Wu Jianye shouted: "Doudou, what are you doing? Why don't you recognize me?"
That young man is none other than Dou Laoxian, a prominent figure in the Chinese rock circle.
Wu Jianye and Dou Laoxian knew each other. The courtyard where Dou Laoxian first lived was bought by Wu Jianye. When Wu Jianye went to collect rent, he saw him, but at that time Wu Jianye
Ye did not talk to him. Later, when the music department of Tangting Culture signed Dou Laoxian, the two officially met.
However, Dou Laoxian no longer lived there at this time. The country returned their compound, and Dou Laoxian returned to his own home.
Tangting Culture has always had its own music department, but compared with the film department, TV department, and animation department, it has always been less attractive. The main reason is that Wu Jianye did not put his mind on it.
Except for Liu Huan, the other mainstream singers who have signed contracts are all Chinese rock bands. Now some people have jokingly called the music department of Tangting Culture, which is the entry ticket to the Chinese rock circle. Only those who have signed a contract with the music department of Tangting Culture can be considered official.
Accepted by the Chinese rock circle!
Dou Laoxian came over shyly.
"Teacher Wu, I just saw you!"
At this time, Dou Laoxian had left the Black Panther Band and formed the Dreaming Band on his own. At this time, Dou Laoxian did not have the fairy spirit of later generations, but mostly had a shy personality.
But it is estimated that it is this kind of personality that contrasts with rock music, coupled with Dou Laoxian's talent, that attracts many women.
At this time, Dou Laoxian and Wang Fei were not together yet. Now the girlfriend beside him is still his first love girlfriend. It is rumored that both parties have met each other's parents...
As for whether Wang Fei was involved as a third party later, it is estimated that only the person involved will know.
"What day is it today that so many people are here?" Wu Jianye asked.
Dou Laoxian habitually stopped talking, and the elder brother on the side smiled and said: "Actually, there is no special reason. It's just that we all had dinner together in the afternoon. Once we discussed that nothing happened, we came directly over in the evening."
Wu Jianye nodded, and just when he was about to say something, the Compass Band on the stage had finished singing, and the audience applauded and whistled!
After Luo Qi led the Compass Band down, she saw Wu Jianye. Compared to the calmness of the other members, Luo Qi seemed a little excited.
"Are you Wu Jianye?"
There are not many people in the rock circle who are as polite as Dou Laoxian.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's me!"
"Will you come on stage later? I'll give you the harmony!" Luo Qi said seriously.
Wu Jianye smiled and shook his head, saying: "I'm not going on stage, I'm just a little bored at home, so come here and hang out!"
Luo Qi shook her head in disappointment.
Luo Qi was only 17 years old at this time, but the heavy makeup on her face still made it difficult to tell her age.
"Director Wu, if you have time, can you write a song for our compass? I like your song "The World" very much!" Luo Qi said carelessly.
Wu Jianye looked into her eyes at this time.
Luo Qi was still very healthy at this time. If I remember correctly, Luo Qi would have her left eye blinded due to an argument with someone next year. This also became one of the reasons why she went astray later.
one.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "If you can agree to a condition, I can try to write a song for you!"
Luo Qi looked at Wu Jianye curiously and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"That means you must not have any conflicts with anyone in the past two years!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Luo Qi pouted: "What kind of condition is this? If someone points at my nose and scolds me, I can't talk back?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "It's true, no matter how someone insults you, you can't talk back. If you can do it, I promise to write a song for you in two years!"
Luo Qi shook her head and said, "That's so boring. I can't let people think I'm a coward!"
Wu Jianye spread his hands and said: "Then there is no other way. My conditions are here. Let's do this. If you agree to my conditions, in two years, I will organize a rock festival for you every year.
Hold it in China so that audiences across the country can get to know you!"
Wu Jianye's words not only made Luo Qi's eyes light up, but also Cui Jian, Lao Ge and others next to her.
Although the domestic rock forces are now on the rise, to be honest, rock still cannot enter the mainstream. They are more like hip-hop and rap of later generations, and more of them gather underground...
If Wu Jianye can really establish a rock festival in China as he said, then it will definitely be very good news for today's Chinese rock music.
"Old Wu, are you telling the truth?" Cui Jian asked seriously from the side.
Wu Jianye: "I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing. I can also help you invite world-famous rock bands to perform with you!"
Wu Jianye is still confident about this. Although Wu Jianye rarely appears in the rock circle anymore, Wu Jianye still made a lot of friends with his performance at the 'Saving Life' concert.
of.
Coupled with the existence of Phantom Media, it is very simple for Wu Jianye to invite several well-known rock bands to perform in China.
When the old man heard what Wu Jianye said, he immediately asked, "Can you invite Bob Dylan?"
My brother is a die-hard Bob Dylan fan.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Everything is possible!"
Hearing what Wu Jianye said, the elder brother looked at Luo Qi and said, "I agreed to this matter for Luo Qi!"
When Luo Qi was about to say something else, she was stared at by Cui Jian and Lao Ge Lian. Where do they stand in the Chinese rock circle?
To put it simply, the two of them are the founders of the Chinese rock circle. Now the rock bars invested by Wu Jianye are basically managed by Cui Jian. Their status in the Chinese rock circle is unimaginable by others.
.
After all, Luo Qi is young now, and she immediately became intimidated when her elder brother and Cui Jian glared at her like this.
"Okay, I promise you, can't I just be a quail these two years?" Luo Qi said timidly.
"Then let's make a deal. If I find out that you broke your promise, not only you, but also your entire compass will never have a place for you to perform again!" Wu Jianye said at the end.
By then, his tone had become extremely serious.
Luo Qi said: "Don't worry, although I am not a gentleman, I still spit out my words and nail them, so I will definitely not cause trouble!"
"Then what if the trouble finds you?" Wu Jianye asked.
"Then I'll just be a quail!" Luo Qi said harshly. After all, she was a young man. Wu Jianye said that, and she must have felt a little unconvinced.
Only then did Wu Jianye laugh and said, "Okay, you go and have a rest!"
After Luo Qi and Compass left, Wu Jianye said to Cui Jian and his brother: "I heard that many people in this circle have their preferences?"
The other two major stains in Luo Qi's life are well known. Wu Jianye only thought of these things after seeing Luo Qi.
Cui Jian looked at Wu Jianye in confusion, but the elder brother understood it first, shrugged his nose and said, "Director Wu, is this what you are talking about?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Not bad!"
The elder brother said: "There are indeed many people in the industry who have this preference, but that is also because they are under great pressure and want to be creatively inspired!"
Wu Jianye stared and said, "Fart, if you don't fix that thing, you won't be able to write songs?"
This was the first time Cui Jian saw Wu Jianye being so angry. He tried to smooth things over and said, "Old Wu, this is not a big deal. Why should you be so angry?"
Wu Jianye said seriously: "This is not a trivial matter, brother. It's my fault for not reminding you in advance, but it's not too late to say this now. You must remember this matter."
"That is, in the rock bars invested by me, singers and bands with such preferences will not be allowed to perform on stage. If I find out, then I will immediately close all rock bars. At the same time, I will cooperate with the Ministry of Culture to regulate the entire rock bar.
Circle and block!"
Cui Jian said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Wu, are you going too far?"
Cui Jian has no preference in this area. He simply thinks that Wu Jianye is stifling the creative passion of rock musicians. At the same time, he is not satisfied with Wu Jianye's current attitude in speaking.
Wu Jianye said: "This is my bottom line. As people in this circle, you should hope for the health of this circle more than I do. Don't give me any nonsense that can increase creative inspiration. That stuff is harmful to others and yourself.
, I am also a creator myself, if my inspiration came from that thing, wouldn’t I be sucked to death by now!”
"Again, this matter is absolutely not allowed to appear in the rock bars I invest in. At the same time, for those who have such preferences, tell them that they had better quit as soon as possible, otherwise they will not be included in the entire Chinese music circle.
The place to gain a foothold is even the underground music circle is impossible!"
When Cui Jian wanted to say something else, it was his brother who came out to smooth things over: "Director Wu, don't worry, we also hope that this circle can be clean!"
Wu Jianye calmed down his mood and said pleasantly: "It's not that I'm being harsh on this matter, it's that I have to do it, and there's no room for negotiation!"
"We understand!"
While a few people were talking, a band composed of young people in their 20s appeared on the stage again. They were dressed very fashionably, a bit similar to the British rock band, and looked a little different from the image of domestic rock bands.
The lead singer wore a round hat on his head and glasses and said: "Hello everyone, we are the band Metronidazole. Let you listen to what authentic British rock is!"
