Chapter 44 The Simple Plan Debuts

In the barbershop, Zhang Kexuan looked at himself in the mirror, his face full of disbelief.

The hair stylist was also a little dumbfounded. Although this awesome hairstyle was made by himself, he still felt incredible.

Li Mu stood aside with his arms crossed and asked Chen Wan, "Sister Wan, what do you think?"

"Li Mu, you are amazing..." Chen Wan didn't know what to say, because Zhang Kexuan in the mirror looked like a different person. He was better-looking than before, more energetic than before, and cleaner than before. In short, it was a flying improvement. .

Li Mu nodded and sighed in his heart. Originally, he just wanted to give him a straight and bright hairstyle like Chen Weiting's, but he didn't expect this guy to be really handsome when he finished it.

This is the charm of the times, a hairstyle more than ten years later is enough to make so many people stunned today.

Ye Tianming, who was watching the fun, suddenly sat on the seat next to Zhang Kexuan, pointed to his head and said, "Excuse me, cut me an exact one."

"Don't." Li Mu said quickly, "Before a band succeeds, it must only highlight one core. If they are all prominent, it means that there is no prominent point."

The performance group is not like the singing and dancing groups that were popular in Korea later. Chinese people always pay attention to the lead singer and ignore others. Therefore, the lead singer of many bands is worth more than the other members together, such as Ashin of Xin Orchestra and Mayday's Ashin, Wu Qingfeng from Sodagreen, Da Zhangwei from Flower Band...

There are too many similar examples. This is determined by the nature of the audience, and Li Mu can't affect it.

Zhang Kexuan is also very satisfied with his new look. Looking at himself in the mirror now, he is basically at the level of a first-class handsome guy.

He was very beautiful in his heart, but Zhang Kexuan still sighed: "Hey, I won't be able to shake my head when I play rock and roll in the future."

Li Mu said contemptuously: "Remember, the style after the simple plan is, to put it bluntly, pop music. Only in this way will you be able to become popular. Of course, you can't throw rock and roll away. Pop music under the banner of rock and roll."

"Isn't this selling dog meat with a sheep's head?"

"If you want to be popular, don't talk so much, okay?"

Zhang Kexuan sneered and looked at the time: "It's only half past six, the name has been changed smoothly, and the tone has been adjusted. Now my long hair has been cut, let's go have something to eat."

Li Mu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhang Kexuan, "Do you know the photographer?"

"Photographed?"

"Yes, but the equipment and level are relatively high."

Ye Tianming said hurriedly, "I know someone who opened a photo studio. He studied photography in Yanjing back then."

"OK." Li Mu said hurriedly, "Find him here, and ask him to take a close-up photo of you after you both take the stage at night."

Several people were stunned: "We are just participating in pizza, as for hiring a photographer ourselves?"

"As for." Li Mu glanced at Zhang Kexuan. If the photographer could use the shutter and software to make this guy a little more handsome, he would spend some money to go to several current online media to make a PR news, and make a call before the TV production is broadcast. Small ads, many girls should pay attention, right?

Ye Tianming didn't know Li Mu's state of mind, but he still took out his mobile phone and made a call.

The other party also seemed to give face very much. As soon as he heard that Ye Tianming was going to participate in the competition, he immediately said that he would bring the best equipment in person at that time.

Li Mu finally calmed down. Now the video website has not yet started. He simply planned these four people. If he wanted to become famous in the early stage, he could only rely on the TV media. However, Li Mu believed in "Li Bai" and Zhang Kexuan's image and singing skills. This time, it will definitely be a blockbuster.

...

At 8:00 p.m., the preliminaries of the Ice Power Pioneer National Band Competition in South Suzhou officially kicked off. The students of Jinling University were very interested in this competition. At 7:30, the gymnasium was full.

At the back of the entire gymnasium, there are still many people standing and watching, and it is estimated that there are two or three thousand people at least.

Li Mu and Chen Wan had good luck and grabbed a relatively advanced position. As for the four guys with the simple plan, they were already nervously preparing in the background.

A female host of Jinling local station acted as the host of the provincial competition area. At 8 o'clock, she announced the official start of the national band competition on time, and introduced five judges. Except for a person from a record company in Yanjing, other All four are professors at Jinling Academy of Arts.

Li Mu doesn't have much hope for this kind of competition. Whether it is an underground band or a college student band in China, there is no shortage of lead singers with a good voice, but in a band, there is a lot of shortage. There is no balanced musicians, no grades Enough equipment, no good original songs, etc.

After the competition started, as Li Mu expected, most of the bands were very bad, and each band had various shortcomings. Occasionally one or two could barely make sense, but if you really want to become famous, the level is still far behind.

The judges are also very uniform in their scoring, with a ten-point system. The five judges remove the highest and lowest scores, and the remaining score is the total score, that is to say, the full score should be 30 points, but after singing seven bands in a row, the highest score is only 19. Points, really sad.

By the time the eighth band had passed, nearly two hours had passed, and most of the band's performances were boring. When the college students in the audience basically didn't even have the enthusiasm to applaud, Li Mu listened to a girl beside him complaining to his companions: " If it wasn't for watching our school's Peony Pavilion, I would have wanted to leave."

Another girl nodded: "Yeah, what are they singing? It sounds awful."

The eighth band also finished singing, and the applause was sparse and pitiful, and the lead singer even burst into tears when he bowed to the curtain call.

The host took the stage again: "Okay, please let our judges and teachers rate the Hypoxia Band that just performed."

After a while, the judges put up their scoreboards.

"Okay, remove the highest score of 5 points, and remove the lowest score of 2 points. The final score of the Hypoxic Band is: 11 points!"

The judges' evaluations were also unanimous: "The original songs are not good, and the vocal conditions of the lead singer are not good enough."

"Next, there is tonight's ninth participating band: Simple Project Band, their original song is "Li Bai"."

"Come here!" Chen Wan was excited like a child, pulling Li Mu's T-shirt with both hands.

At this time, the other three members of the band came to the stage with their musical instruments.

Li Mu arranged a position for them, dividing the stage into three parts horizontally. The drum set was in the center of the last part of the stage, and the bass player and another guitarist were on both sides of the middle part of the stage. The location is reserved for Zhang Kexuan.

The three of them were already in place, and the guitarist and bassist had also plugged in their instruments. At this time, Zhang Kexuan put the electric guitar behind his back and walked out from the backstage with a pretentious pace.

That's called eye-catching.

If four people come out together, the audience will look at all four first and say, wow, look, that guy over there is so handsome.

But first let the three people in the foil be in place and in a still state, and then let Zhang Kexuan come out, the audience will directly say: "Wow, this guy is so handsome.

really!

The girls around him were startled by Zhang Kexuan. Many girls screamed involuntarily, and the screams kept coming and going without stopping for a long time. This treatment immediately distanced them from other bands.

Zhang Kexuan stood in front of the microphone and said in a low tone: "Hello everyone, we are the simple plan band."

Originally Zhang Kexuan was quite nervous, but after listening to eight trash songs in the background, he was basically not nervous, because he was very confident in the song "Li Bai", and now he has caused so many girls to scream for him as soon as he came on stage , which made him more confident.

This is the easiest way to announce the news is also Li Mu's idea. The host has already said many things for them. At this time, when he takes the stage, try to reduce the nonsense and get to the point.

Sure enough, Zhang Kexuan turned around and gave the other three members of the band a look. Then, Ye Tianming tapped the drumsticks four times and started a rhythm. Then, the song "Li Bai" was released to the public for the first time in front of the camera. .

Just the brisk and casual prelude of "Li Bai" already made people's eyes shine. When Zhang Kexuan sang the first sentence, not only the audience screamed and cheered, but even the sluggish judges cheered up.

Li Mu once asked Zhang Kexuan to grasp his feelings and feelings when singing. He needed Zhang Kexuan to express that kind of brisk and cynical attitude in his voice and emotions. I have to say that Zhang Kexuan played very well today.

When Zhang Kexuan was singing, Li Mu looked back and found that almost everyone was following the rhythm, which was enough to prove that the song was very successful in the live atmosphere.

Seeing the admiring eyes of those nympho college students, Li Mu became more confident about the future popularity of Simple Plan.
