This is not just a salty fish, and certainly not as vigorous and exaggerated as my aunt. To put it simply, it means that you have a certain resilience, especially when it comes to things you are interested in. Of course, it is mostly about cherishing things, such as practicing the piano.
For example, although the previous place of study was a run-down training institution in the southern suburbs, the cost of this extracurricular interest was definitely a large expense for the brother and sister at that time that needed to be carefully considered.
In the end, at Tang Chao's insistence, the fee was paid, and the little girl also studied extremely seriously.
Now, Tangdou is using this tenacity and seriousness in band performances, with a very clear purpose, which is to perform to outsiders after practicing, to promote Tang Yun Qinxie, and to increase the popularity of the piano store.
Of course, this is the best result expected. The actual operation will not be simple. The little girl also knows in her heart that although she may not understand advertising, she still has experience in doing business and shouting. But isn’t that how things are done?
, only if you do it will there be results, if you don't do it, there will never be any change.
This is the truth. The little girl is very motivated. She leads a group of little sisters and a soy saucer named Ren Buping. She spends her spare time in the school's practice room and the beach at Jiangyue Mansion on weekends, looking for all the free time available for practice.
I went through training and even had a semi-formal open-air performance in the community. Naturally, the target audience was a group of adults who had nothing to do. The response was pretty good, so I became even more motivated...
At the same time, Tang Chao, a semi-monastic manager, also contributed a lot, both in terms of logistical support and the band's performance skills.
I won’t talk about the former, and there is no teaching about the latter.
The members of the Little Buddy Band all have solid basic skills. Even Ren Buping, who can only play a few harmonica songs, has a lot of practice that he has accumulated due to his rich wandering experience. Of course, this is also because the repertoire they play is very simple.
With so much room for guidance, Tang Chao just talked about some tips on how to coordinate with the band... He was so busy that Quan was able to fulfill the little girl's wish.
Finally, what is supposed to come will always come. After the past two weeks, the little band, which considers itself to be a great success, has scheduled its premiere in the afternoon of this weekend.
Regarding this point, Tang Chao had reservations and repeated the previous reminder not to cry. However, Tangdou Tongxie and a group of little sisters were very confident and said it was impossible. As for Ren Buping, well, he
He usually doesn't express his opinions, but in front of Tangdou and the others, his attitude doesn't matter...
…
It's three or four o'clock on a weekend afternoon.
The sky is a bit cloudy, with light or deep clouds visible to the naked eye floating over a large area from the southwest, and the air is dull and humid. The weather forecast says there will be a shower in the evening, probably around seven o'clock, but judging from the current momentum, I estimate
I can't wait until then.
God is not very kind. Of course, if you think about it from another angle, it can also be true, that is, there is a thunderbolt in the sky, and the band of friends comes on stage - Tang Chao mentioned this idea to the little girl, causing the latter to grin.
He kept nodding his head and laughed forward and backward.
"So, have you really decided? You won't regret it when you go out." Pointing to the glass door of the piano store, Tang Chao looked at the few flowers in front of him with a half-smile... They were all wearing white T-shirts, all in the same style.
The Little Friends Band is printed on it, and the words sponsor Tang Yunqinxie are printed on the back. At first glance, it smells like a regular army.
Naturally, this has been prepared long ago, and it can be seen from this that the little girls attach great importance to it.
"Brother~ How can you be like you and throw cold water on me when things get tough?" Jiao snarled, Tangdou pouted her little mouth unhappily, and then confidently stretched out her arms. The other three little girls reached out knowingly, and a few
The white lotus root-like arms crossed, and the backs of the palms overlapped, "Little Friends Band——"
"Come on! Come on! Come on!" He swung his arm hard, and his momentum instantly increased. Click, the shutter sounded, but there were several adult men and women standing next to them, with smiles on their faces, either holding mobile phones in their hands, or
He's holding a camera.
"Haha, come on Dandan."
"Wenting, you are the best!"
"I wish your performance a complete success..."
These are the parents of several other little girls. They don’t have much to do on weekends, so they come to participate in this quite interesting activity. Recording it is also a precious memory to accompany their children to grow up. Of course, I can’t say whether it is a good thing or not.
On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty was vaccinated...
Seeing that it was almost time and the girls were in full swing, Tang Chao waved and said, "Get ready, let's go out."
"Let's go... Hey, where is classmate Ren Buping? Gang is still here." Suddenly realizing that there were fewer members in the team, Tang Dou looked around. Tang Chao replied casually, "Just went out and said he was looking for something. I'll be there soon."
Just come back..."
Before he finished speaking, he said, "Here we come." A figure pushed open the door and jumped in, and then the pleasant sound of wind chimes rang out. It was not Ren Buping, but he ran away for who knows where. There were faint traces of sweat on his forehead, and he was holding a...
…gong?
Everyone looked over and were all stunned: "What are you..."
"Lay the floor to warm up the venue." Ren Buping explained matter-of-factly, "My master and I have done this before. Whenever we go to a strange place, we set up the venue and beat gongs and drums to attract people before performing."
"You're so particular! Whose child is this?" One of the parents couldn't help but smile and give a thumbs up. Then he looked at the other people, but they all looked at each other. Needless to say, Ren Buping came alone, and he also
There was no parent, only an uncle in name only, but Zong Qing certainly couldn't come here to interfere in this matter.
As soon as Tang Chao raised his forehead, he really went to the world of entertainment, and where did he get this gong... Now is not the time to discuss this issue. He cleared his throat: "Ahem, let's go out. And that classmate Ren,
Put down the gong, there's no need..."
It's a small incident, nothing to worry about.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Push the glass door, the door of the music store is some distance from the roadside, a pedestrian passage, a small open space, but enough to place a few musical instruments and simple audio equipment
.In fact, these are all in place now, except for the audience...well, from this point of view, it is still necessary for Ren to prepare.
Since there was no publicity in advance, no one gathered around. However, when passers-by passed by, they would turn their heads and take a look. In addition, there were many store employees watching the excitement, so there should be no shortage of spectators for the performance later.
It's just a matter of more or less.
The little girls were standing or sitting, still in the familiar trapezoidal position. Ren Buping, who had just played the second song, stayed in the corner for the time being, while Tang Chao and several parents were looking for shooting angles.
In front of me is a bustling old street, with busy traffic, pedestrians, conversations, honking horns, and the faint looping electronic sounds coming from the clothes shop in the distance, etc., all mixed together, making it somewhat noisy.
The keyboard player and conductor, Tangdou, stood with a cool expression on his face, tapping his fingers on the keys: "Audio check! Ready - start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the high-pitched and distorted guitar sound instantly broke through the original atmosphere of the old street, and then the pounding drum sound followed, exciting and passionate, and the electronic piano sound found its way in, filling the gap and connecting the melodies of other instruments with each other, coordinating and accelerating.
...There is no ups and downs, it is a bold move, a long-handled battle ax with a sharp edge, rumbles from the sky with a devastating force, shocking every pair of ears within the sound wave range!
This was Tang Dynasty’s idea. There were too few performances by the Little Friends Band. There were only two songs in total, which didn’t even last ten minutes. It was also a temporary street frontage. It was possible that the water had not splashed after their performance.
Woolen cloth.
So Tang Chao found a melody for them, a climactic melody that was taken from a classic song by an old European and American rock band. Of course it was adapted, basically abandoning the charm and complex techniques of the original melody. It was simple, direct, rough, and passionate.
——Finished!
Apparently this is a sound check, but it's actually a little trick to get a head start. To put it bluntly, it's a hot spot, similar in nature to Ren Buping's gongs and drums, but the difference is that this one is more technical.
Perhaps the momentum just now has not dissipated, and the girls completed well. Of course, this is also because this shocking melody adapted by the Tang Dynasty lasts only a dozen seconds. Once you are practiced enough, you can copy it with muscle memory.
The effect is quite remarkable. When the last drumbeat fell, twenty or thirty passers-by had gathered around unknowingly. Don’t be too few, it depends on the venue. At the moment, they were surrounding the entrance of the piano store. At the same time,
There were also some passers-by on the other side of the street walking towards us while taking out their mobile phones.
"Ha, Boss Tang, it's so lively today."
Hearing the greeting, Tang Chao, who was holding up his mobile phone, turned to look. A middle-aged man with a somewhat stout figure squeezed over. His colleague, Zhang Shanhai, the regional manager of the Xinyin Chain Piano Store in the street next door, whom he had met before the opening,
He nodded in response: "It turns out to be Boss Zhang, hello, hello, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I'm not far away. I heard the goings on here and came here out of curiosity, haha." Zhang Shanhai squeezed in beside him with a familiar look, and his eyes naturally fell towards the band of friends who were preparing for the official performance in the venue.
, his expression was startled at first, and then he suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Boss Tang is awesome. He is a young man after all, and his thinking is more flexible than ours. Asking the band to perform is indeed a good marketing idea!"
Tang Chao waved his hand: "Boss Zhang misunderstood. The band was not invited, but my sister and several of her classmates came over to have fun during their free time."
"Oh, that's it. Where did Boss Tang find these little girls? Hey, they look so cute..."
Tang Chao smiled politely and did not respond. Firstly, Tangdou and the others' performance had already begun, and secondly, he was too lazy to say anything to the person next to him. When it came to marketing ideas, especially the sense of competition in the industry, this person's brain was pretty impressive.
It is not rigid at all, on the contrary, it is active.
Tang Chao did not conduct a detailed investigation, but there were an increasing number of comments from customers who came to the store recently, such as the same brand, why the price of your musical instruments is more expensive than that of the Xinyin Musical Music Store next door, etc., as well as the number of stores in the old street recently.
A person distributing flyers for the other piano store appeared at the entrance and exit, and we knew that this person was busy behind the scenes.
The specific reason, Tang Dynasty can roughly guess, is simply because Tang Yun Qinxie has risen a bit quickly. Chu Fengya's promotional photos and Guo Mulan's full-page advertisement have made Tang Yun Qinxie almost not experience the early stage of losing money and making a profit, and quickly
He stood firm. This undoubtedly made the other party aware of the threat, and they secretly took it into consideration.
The Tang Dynasty had long been aware of these things, but just ignored them.
First of all, although the opponent's method is not very glorious, it is within the scope of normal competition and can be regarded as a conspiracy.
Take the price reduction as an example. New Musical Instruments is not stupid. They have training institutions. In most cases, how much money can you make from the sale of musical instruments? If you make less on this, you can make more on the tuition fees.
You can get it twice as much, because the wool on the left and right comes from the sheep. Tangyun Qinxie is not good, and it will lose a lot of money in a price war.
Secondly, Tang Dynasty really doesn’t care what the other party does. Tang Yunqinxie’s original market positioning is to be knowledgeable. This kind of customer will not go to a training institution to be a student, so they will not enjoy the other party’s so-called internal discounts. Normally
When it comes to price sales, everyone depends on their ability.
Of course, Zhang Shanhai would not think this way. You must know that in his impression, Tang Chao was a wealthy man who came to experience life and didn't understand anything. The piano shop should close down soon... What a shame.
Zhang Shanhai didn't pay attention, and didn't notice the corners of Tang Chao's lips gradually raised. He turned to look at the performance in the venue, secretly complaining about the old-fashioned technique, and wondering whether he should also invite a band to Xinyin Piano Store another day.
Try it...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After reading absently for a while, Zhang Shanhai suddenly became happy. After all, he is an insider. Even if he doesn’t understand, he can still be influenced by his hearing and seeing. And in his view,
Come on, the performance in the venue undoubtedly collapsed.
This is the fact. A few little girls still think about performing simply. There is no problem with their technique, but the problem is with their psychology. Even singers and stars who have been famous for a long time will be more or less nervous when performing on stage.
, not to mention several teenage girls performing in public for the first time.
Under the gazes of everyone around her, Tangdou felt her body gradually stiffen and sweat. Was this... nervous? How could it be possible! She had performed in front of a lot of adults in Jiangyue Mansion. It didn't make sense.
I will be nervous at this time.
Acquaintances and strangers are two completely different concepts, and familiar environments and unfamiliar environments are also different. Obviously, Tangdou has not yet realized what the problem is. He just feels that he is not living up to expectations, and he secretly resents it while constantly adjusting.
To be honest, Tangdou's psychological quality is pretty good. If she were to perform alone, she might gain a lot from this performance.
But now there are three other little sisters here. Compared with Tangdou, who has experienced hardships since childhood, their endurance is undoubtedly worse. I don’t know who misplayed the first syllable first and subconsciously wanted to correct it.
, the rescue was a series of collapses, vaguely revealing signs of the car accident scene...
Seeing this, Zhang Shanhai almost laughed out loud. He glanced at his side subconsciously, but saw the rising arc at the corner of Tang Chao's mouth. He was also laughing? Or was it blatantly... He was stunned, and Zhang Shanhai shook his head inexplicably.
He shook his head, thinking that he had seen it wrong.
Okay, he really read it right, the Tang Dynasty was indeed laughing, haha - look, look, what does it mean to not listen to the old man's advice, and you will suffer in front of your eyes. You are still a jelly bean kid in Tucson!
Let's not talk about someone's unscrupulous and dark psychology, just say that the melody and rhythm in the venue are also messed up, everyone plays their own thing, which means that the game is completely broken.
Tangdou was okay, her upper teeth were biting her lower lip, and her face was slightly pale. The other three little girls were just stunned, their expressions were numb, their eyes were dull, and their brains were obviously in a down state. They were probably whiter than white paper.
, I only know how to mechanically pluck strings and beat drums, but I don’t know what exactly is playing under my hands...
The noise outside the venue gradually started to sound. After all, it was a familiar pop song. If the difference was too big, you would naturally be able to hear it. The noise was actually very slight, not too loud, but at this moment, in the ears of several little girls,
, but it is extremely clear, strangely clear!
Finally, the song was played. Several little girls stood there blankly. They really didn’t know when they finished playing. They only knew that the process was very long, very long...
After a moment of silence, a figure walked into the venue. It was Ren Buping. According to the original plan, he would lead the second track, but he just played the harmonica, which seemed to break something. Standing in the front was a girl named Dandan with a guitar in hand.
, suddenly curled up his mouth and burst into tears!
Along with this, "Wow - wow -" the other two little girls broke down and cried one after another, including Tangdou, whose eyes were red and stood silently.
The sound of the harmonica suddenly stopped, and several of the girl's parents rushed into the scene to comfort her.
Stable! Zhang Shanhai looked at Tang Chao for the first time, only to see the latter Shi Shiran put away his mobile phone, looking satisfied, smiling so much that his molars were exposed... I'm afraid he's not a fool!
Zhang Shanhai couldn't help but feel disdainful, and then thought of all the deliberate efforts he had made recently, but ended up competing with a fool, and suddenly felt quite boring...
