Chapter 765 Coffee drinkers look down on garlic eaters (4000+ chapters~)
"Hey, here comes the high-end one!" Wu Jianye said jokingly while looking at the metronidazole band on the stage.
Cui Jian and his brother smiled bitterly.
Wu Jianye looked at their expressions and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"You'll know after you hear it!" Cui Jian said helplessly.
Wu Jianye didn't think much about it. He sat there and listened to the song of Metronidazole Band. From the beginning, Wu Jianye understood why Cui Jian and his brother had such expressions.
"Singing a cover?" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Metronidazole The band sang a Beatles song.
Cui Jiandao: "You continue to listen!"
After listening for a while, Wu Jianye looked at Cui Jian in surprise, "With his singing skills, you also let him go on stage?"
What can I say about the song of the Metronidazole band? Although it is a cover, it also adds its own elements. From this point of view, it is still good.
It's just that the other party's singing level is really something I don't dare to compliment, it's out of tune, I can't sing the high notes, I can't lower the bass, but I'm willing to play with various techniques...
Cui Jiandao: "Just look at the little girls under the stage and you will know!"
Wu Jianye lifted the curtain and looked at the little girl in the audience. She was screaming crazily for the band Metronidazole. On the opposite side were the male fans, who looked a little listless.
"Zhao Na said that they can attract more little girls to come in and listen to rock music, which is also a contribution to rock music!" Cui Jian said helplessly.
Zhao Na is the manager responsible for running Northern Lights and several other rock bars.
Cui Jian and others exist in these rock bars as shareholders and founders, but they do not intervene in the specific operations, mainly because they do not have the cells.
So they found a manager to run the rock bar.
Because they found Zhao Na themselves and passed Wu Jianye's interview, Cui Jian and others were very willing to give Zhao Na face in some matters.
Wu Jianye rubbed his ears and said, "This Zhao Na..."
Obviously from a business perspective, Zhao Na did nothing wrong. Only by letting more people accept rock music can it be conducive to the promotion of rock music. But is this what Wu Jianye cares about?
To be honest, the monthly revenue of several rock bars is not as much as the revenue of any company owned by Wu Jianye in one day. The revenue of rock bars is only good on paper. Wu Jianye once visited a rock bar.
The financial statements of these companies are redecorated almost every month.
It's not that anyone is causing trouble here, it's mainly because the fans are so crazy now, especially when Cui Jian comes on stage, the audience goes crazy. Beer bottles, tables, and chairs fly all over the place. After a performance,
There are almost no good places left.
This is more of Wu Jianye’s fun.
As for the future of Chinese rock music, in Wu Jianye's opinion, only the most original Chinese rock music can truly go abroad, if it is followed step by step.
The development of rock music in later generations has told Wu Jianye that it was a failure!
1994 can be said to be the peak year of Chinese rock music, but what about its subsequent performance?
Chinese rock music quickly fell into a trough, and many record companies were unable to make ends meet and therefore closed down.
This is due to the suicide behavior of these rock singers and the reason for excessive commercialization. At this time, let alone the domestic rock circle, the entire Chinese music circle has not yet formed a healthy business model.
In another time and space, China's rock and roll scene was actually brought into business by businessmen from Wanwan, but at that time they had no specific understanding of what the domestic music scene was like.
Let's put it this way, the sales volume of a genuine album by Dou Laoxian is only 70,000, but the sales volume of pirated copies can exceed one million.
In order to quickly withdraw funds, this group of businessmen from Bayan even over-commercially packaged Dou Laoxian and others, performing acupoints, singing, and releasing albums.
This, on the contrary, dampened the creative enthusiasm of Dou Laoxian and his gang.
Wu Jianye calls the rock singers of this era passionate players, which means that if they are passionate, they can write classic works, let alone eating big fish and meat.
But if there is no passion, then what they write is a piece of shit.
It was under such pressure that almost none of the rock singers of this era died a good death...
A song doesn't last long. After more than five minutes, the Metronidazole band's performance finally ended.
The lead singer was still standing on the stage with no intention of coming down. Cui Jian looked a little anxious and asked, "What is Zhang Xiaole doing? Didn't I say that they only have the right to sing one song?"
The elder brother explained from the side: "Zhang Xiaole is the lead singer of the Metronidazole band. What I told them before was that they can only sing one song."
Cui Jian was already ready to go up and pull him down at this time.
Wu Jianye stopped Cui Jian and said, "What are you doing?"
"Go up and drag them down!"
"Don't worry, let's see what they want to do!"
Zhang Xiaole stood on the stage, still wearing glasses, holding a guitar across his body, and said coquettishly: "How is it? Are you happy to hear it?"
Many girls screamed from the audience, "Happy!"
Wu Jianye saw a smile on Zhang Xiaole's lips.
"Since everyone is happy, how about we sing one of our original songs for everyone?"
"good!"
"To be honest, who are those people who just performed? They shout at the top of their lungs and don't understand the true meaning of rock. I studied in England last year and went to see a local rock band perform. That is the real rock roll.
Well, I hope my fans are all of good quality, because my songs are all senior. What do you think, do you like senior’s rock roll?"
"like!"
"Okay, but I still want to remind the audience present, because it is senior, which also means niche, so those who don't understand, please don't scream along."
"Haha, it's really interesting!" Wu Jianye became happy when he heard Zhang Xiaole speaking a mixture of Chinese and English on the stage.
Cui Jian said dissatisfiedly next to him: "You can still laugh, this kid really doesn't know how high the sky is!"
Wu Jianye sat there and said, "You will know after a few beatings!"
To be honest, Wu Jianye also dislikes such people very much. Such people regard the minority as high-class, which is no different from those who say drinking coffee is high-class and eating garlic is low-class.
I really thought that after being out for two years and seeing a little bit about foreigners, I would look down on these people in China. If you really have that level, you can do it. But the song just now made Wu Jianye realize that the other person is a young man.
Just showing off...
The main reason is that the pretense has not yet succeeded.
Pretending doesn't matter.
If you don't succeed in pretending to be cool, you will be struck by lightning!
At this time, Wu Jianye said to Cui Jian: "You will make them happier if you go up there. They will think you are jealous of them!"
Cui Jian said disdainfully: "I can be jealous of them!"
Wu Jianye said: "Of course you know about yourself, but others don't think so. Let me tell you, if you go up and drag him down, he will definitely think that you are all old guys and can't listen.
New things, and then think that you are geniuses even more, but you are mediocre!"
"Damn it, how can anyone else have such an idea?" Cui Jian looked at Wu Jianye in surprise.
"What do you think!" Wu Jianye laughed.
"Then what should we do?" Cui Jian looked at Wu Jianye: "We all have performance time. If they sing one more song, the band below will sing one less song. Everyone gets paid according to the song.
Yes, there must be someone who doesn’t want to!”
Wu Jianye said: "It's okay, just extend the singing time. I just want to see what works they can sing."
But soon, Wu Jianye regretted his decision.
Because what they sang was really terrible. What a crappy originality. It was just a plagiarized work pieced together from the songs of famous British bands. They thought they were playing a high-end song, but in the end, their singing was mediocre.
...
"Old Cui, you are like this..." Wu Jianye really couldn't listen anymore.
He whispered to Cui Jian.
After hearing this, Cui Jian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "This is a good idea. I will do it now!"
Cui Jian then stood up and left.
The old man asked from the side: "What did Lao Cui do?"
"Wait a minute, don't you already know?" Wu Jianye laughed.
Just when the Metronidazole band was singing to its climax, the accompanying accompaniment suddenly disappeared, leaving only the performance of their band members on the stage.
Zhang Xiaole was also stunned for a moment, and then continued his singing, which surprised Wu Jianye.
The Metronidazole Band's singing requires accompaniment. Now that there is no accompaniment, it can only test their real skills. Wu Jianye thought they would still have some shame, but obviously he underestimated the Metronidazole Band's shame.
...
But this also makes it easier for people to hear their abilities.
Zhang Xiaole's singing skills have just been said to be absolutely catastrophic, and the other musicians of the Metronidazole Band also made catastrophic mistakes after losing their accompaniment.
At this time, the male audience members in the audience finally couldn't stand it any longer and shouted loudly: "Go down, what nonsense are you singing!"
Once one person starts, more and more people join in.
However, the person named Zhang Xiaole still turned a blind eye and finished singing his so-called original song.
After Zhang Xiaole finished singing, he looked at the audience with some regret and said: "I thought you were all seniors, but now it seems that I was wrong. You don't understand the true meaning of rock and roll!"
After saying that, he coolly walked off the stage.
In fact, when they came off the stage, Zhang Xiaole had already seen Wu Jianye, but at this time, he did not take the initiative to say hello to Wu Jianye, but scolded his guitarist.
"How the hell did you just play that you made such a mistake!"
Zhang Xiaole's guitarist remained silent.
Then Zhang Xiaole scolded the other members of his band before talking to Cui Jian.
"Old Cui, what's going on with your Northern Lights? Even the accompaniment has problems. Is the machine broken? How about I ask my dad to sponsor a set for you?"
Cui Jian's face instantly turned ugly. The title Lao Cui is usually given to Cui Jian by close friends. Young singers like Zhang Xiaole will respectfully call Cui Jian Brother Cui. Now Zhang Xiaole bluntly calls Cui Jian
Cui Jian obviously didn't take Cui Jian seriously.
"No need, we can handle it ourselves!" However, Cui Jian still suppressed his anger and said.
"I'm not talking about you. After all these years of Chinese rock and roll, you still haven't grown up at all. I really don't know how you did it. Now these fans can't even appreciate a little bit of senior rock and roll!" Zhang Xiaole
Said dissatisfied.
Wu Jianye said from the side: "You came back from England?"
"Yes! Kun, you often go abroad and have released English albums. You must know this. To be honest, everything about your album is good. Why did you add Chinese songs and Cantonese songs!" Zhang Xiaole said.
.
Wu Jianye said calmly: "Because I am Chinese!"
Zhang Xiaole shook his head and said: "You are so narrow-minded, music has no borders!"
Wu Jianye said: "Music has no borders, but singers have borders. What is the difference between blindly believing that foreigners' things are good and those braided people in the Qing Dynasty?"
Zhang Xiaole's face turned red when Wu Jianye said that, but he still said: "Rock music originally originated from abroad. Is it wrong for us to learn from foreign things? You are forgetting your roots!"
Wu Jianye said: "Then you mean that you are originally from a foreigner? Does your father know?"
At this point, Wu Jianye no longer wanted to say anything to this little bastard who didn't know how high the sky was.
"Why are you scolding people?" Zhang Xiaole said unhappy.
"I learned from you. I just saw you scolding me quite happily!" Wu Jianye said calmly.
"you......."
After being nurtured by Wang Shuo and others, Wu Jianye is very experienced in dealing with such little bastards.
"Humph, I will let you know that my music is the most advanced music!" Zhang Xiaole finally said this.
"Don't worry, your music will never be on this stage again!" Wu Jianye responded.
In the end, Zhang Xiaole left angrily. Cui Jian gave Wu Jianye a thumbs up and said with a smile: "This kind of kid should fight him like this!"
Cui Jian also learned a lot of new words from Wu Jianye.
"Tell Zhao Na not to let this Metronidazole band appear on stage again, what the hell!" Wu Jianye said.
"With your words, there will be no problem!" Cui Jian said happily.
Apparently he was also fed up with this so-called metronidazole band.
Wu Jianye also saw happy smiles on the faces of other bands waiting to take the stage backstage. Apparently they didn't like the Metronidazole band either.
"However, I heard that Zhang Xiaole's family is well off. Will this cause trouble?" The elder brother said worriedly from the side.
Cui Jian said dissatisfied: "If you have money, you have money. What does it have to do with us!"
