C19 Punk Girl(2)

Wang Shiyin opened the zither bag she carried with her, revealing a handful of dark green bass. The zither had Wang Shiyin's English name, Vicky, engraved on it, as well as some rock and roll stickers. Wang Shiyin inserted the wire into the speaker skillfully, and after tuning the string, she started to play with her head raised.

Qin Fengge secretly nodded her head, thinking to herself, "Not bad, Wang Shiyin's playing of the official punk style has a certain rhythm to it." Qin Fengge secretly nodded, thinking to herself, not bad, Wang Shiyin's playing of the official punk style has a certain rhythm to it. In addition, Wang Shiyin's playing skills were mature, and her body movements were valiant and valiant.

"Alright, welcome to the 'Mouth Belt' band!" After Wang Shiyin finished playing, Qin Fengge said with some excitement. Zhou Datong also chimed in, "Now that's good, our band is finally complete!"

Wang Shiyin's face was still cold and emotionless, without the slightest hint of excitement. She slowly put the instrument away, took out a long, narrow woman's cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and slowly smoked. "Is this the rehearsal room you've rented?" she asked.

Qin Fengge nodded. She took out a key from her pocket and said, "This is the key to this rehearsal room. We have prepared it beforehand. We'll have to rehearse together often in the future. I hope that everyone can cooperate harmoniously. "

Wang Shiyin took the key and lightly said, "Alright then. I still have some matters to attend to today. Let's begin our official rehearsal tomorrow." If there's nothing else, I'll head back first … Also, is the zither safe here? "

"Don't worry, this place will definitely be safe!" Qin Fengge patted her chest in assurance.

Wang Shiyin threw the cigarette in the ashtray and left in a carefree manner.

Looking at Wang Shiyin's disappearing figure, Zhou Datong said worriedly, "Little Qin, this girl is so cool. How can she work with someone like her? Just thinking about it makes me shiver like there's a block of ice beside me. "

Qin Fengge shook her head and muttered to herself, "I can't say for sure, but since we've already invited her to join the band, we shouldn't go back on our words. One step at a time is one step."

In actuality, the three of them worked together quite smoothly. In less than half a month, they had already gotten along well. During this time, not only did they produce four or five songs, they also rehearsed some classic songs from foreign punk bands. However, Wang Shiyin continued to do her own thing. Other than occasionally expressing her opinion during rehearsals and creations, she rarely said anything. The people of Qin and Tuesday did not know much about the world outside her music.

At the same time, Qin Fengge was already looking for a suitable venue to perform in. He had his sights set on every bar in the city. Although there were many bars in Jing Prefecture, not many were suitable to perform. Only a few families had the qualifications to perform, and only a few singers and musicians would occasionally appear to sing pop songs to perform for the guests in the bars. As for the bars that were mainly dedicated to hosting rock shows, they could not be found in Jingzhou!

In this way, Qin Fengge had to face the reality that it was almost impossible to make a name for himself in Jingzhou with rock and punk, because the rock market was still empty.

However, Wu Dahai, a friend of Qin Fengge's, didn't seem to think so. When he heard about the plight of Qin Fengge and company, he took the initiative to find Qin Fengge and give her some advice.

Although Qin Fengge and Wu Dahai didn't interact much, the two of them shared a tacit understanding. When one person was in trouble, the other would immediately notice it. To Qin Fengge, Zhou Datong was his close friend, Zheng Xiaoqiu was his bro, and Wang Shiyin was his partner. In that case, Wu Dahai could be called his advisor, a person who provided Qin Fengge with special advice.

Wu Dahai spoke out his opinion. "It's not that there is no rock market in Jingzhou, but that there is no lack of people to open a market!"

Qin Fengge nodded. "I've thought about it before, but with the current level of the band, it's hard to be the first one to eat crabs."

Wu Dahai adjusted his glasses, his small eyes narrowed into a smile that was not a smile as he looked at Qin Fengge. He suddenly laughed loudly, "That's not right. You're already considering this question, but there's no answer."

"Oh? "Then what do you have in mind?"

"I don't think so. It's just a small story. I hope you get some inspiration from it."

"I'm willing to listen to the details!"

"In ancient times, there was an old man who sold buddhist incense for a living. The old man sold his Buddha incense in the bazaar every day, leaving early and returning late to work hard, but the business did not improve. Just as he was getting worried, a passerby gave him a suggestion: 'You are selling Buddha incense, so why don't you sell it in front of the temple?' The old man thought it made sense, and the next day he placed the stall on the road to the temple. "Most of the people who come to the temple are people who want to worship Buddha, so the old people's buddhist incense is naturally welcomed, and the sales volume has increased compared to the market."

Qin Fengge understood. Wu Dahai wanted to tell him the truth about "climbing the dragon and riding the phoenix".

Wu Dahai nodded, "Since you've already comprehended this principle, I don't need to explain any more."

Qin Fengge gratefully placed her hand on Wu Dahai's shoulder, "Good brother, thank you!"

After returning home, Qin Fengge immediately dialed Wuhan's "Zither of the Chrysanthemum Pond" shop. Yu Guannan answered the phone. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qin Fengge revealed his thoughts.

Qin Fengge thought so. Although Yu Guannan had already set his mind on operating the music business, he was still quite popular in Wuhan's rock industry. He knew quite a few well-known bands and musicians. Qin Fengge hoped that Yu Guannan could persuade a relatively famous band to perform in Jingzhou. When that time came, the band "Mouth Belt" would appear as a guest. They would benefit from the influence of the big band and get to know each other.

Yu Guannan straightforwardly agreed to Qin Fengge's request and contacted a punk band that was well-known throughout Wuhan and even throughout the country — "Stinky Egg"! The band's bass player was called Wei Xudong. He had a good relationship with Yu Guannan. Upon hearing that he was helping Yu Guannan's disciple, he agreed without even thinking about it. He only made a reasonable request, and that was that Qin Fengge arrange the places for Jingzhou's performance beforehand. Then, Qin Fengge or the bar would provide transportation and accommodation for the four people of "Stinky Egg" band. This request wasn't too excessive. In the underground rock circles of Wuhan, especially in the punk circles, Bastard was one of the best. This dutiful performance had already given Qin Fengge and Yu Guannan a lot of face.

Qin Fengge was of the opinion that there was no harm in providing the transportation and accommodation fees. Even if the other party was giving her face, she couldn't just pour out the money to support her, right? Qin Fengge understood this logic, and he was not worried about the money.

"Qin Fengge was worried about whether she could find a place that she would like to play in, be it a bar, a nightclub or a club." The rallying power of Stinky Balls in Jingzhou was not to be denied. As a band that had published two albums before, they were also part of the Tito band in Jingzhou. However, having the ability to rally people did not mean that there would be people willing to be the first to eat crabs. Qin Fengge and the others needed to persuade them to do so.

(Note: Tito is the name given to some loyal rock fans, similar to the popular music industry's widespread use of the word "fan.")

As the saying goes, you don't need to be unprepared. Since you've decided to lobby, you should have the introduction of the band, the benefits that cooperation can bring, the prospects of Jingzhou rock music, the typical cases of success in other cities and so on made into paper for people to read. This is the first step. The second step was to have someone who was eloquent and able to withstand the blow as a lobbyist. This person had to have a good mouth and thick skin, even if he was scolded by others, he couldn't complain.

When the three of them arrived at the rehearsal room to rehearse, Qin Fengge explained everything that she had said and the preparations that she needed to make to the two of them.

After Zhou Datong heard this, he said, "That sounds good. As someone with a thick skin, I am most suited to be a lobbyist. Propaganda materials? Well, you might as well get Brother Yu to send some from Wuhan for your reference. "

Seeing Wang Shiyin standing at the side as if nothing had happened, Qin Fengge said, "Vicky, you're also a member of the band, why don't you express your opinion?"

Wang Shiyin glanced at Qin Fengge and said nonchalantly, "You can decide now."

Although Qin Fengge was not used to Wang Shiyin's nonchalant attitude, he did not flare up. Instead, he patiently said, "Vicky, we are one entity, and you are also a member of the band. If you have the right to speak, we will also respect your opinion. But you are always so silent, and we don't know what your true thoughts are, and if you think we are doing something wrong, or if you have any thoughts of your own, you might as well say them out loud, don't be shy. "

"My opinion is about the same as yours... Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's just rehearse. " Wang Shiyin shook her head and picked up Bes.
