Chapter 762 The ills of the rock circle ([-] updates daily, please subscribe~)

Yanjing, Sanlitun, Northern Lights LIVE HOUSE!

Wu Jianye found that after he was reborn, everything changed, even the Chinese rock circle with whom he had less communication.

Northern Lights is now the biggest rock scene in Yanjing, Cui Jian, Tang Dynasty, Black Panther, Face, Bronze, Cobra, Compass.
These bands all make occasional appearances here.

The dim lights, the commotion of the crowd, and the long-haired band members on the stage formed the atmosphere here.

Wu Jianye was sitting in the background, and the singer on the stage was the compass band that was just formed last year. Now the lead singer of the compass is Luo Qi, who is known as the No. 1 female rock in China!

"Come Back" and "Do What You Want" are classic rock songs.

Cui Jian sat next to Wu Jianye, and there was a middle-aged man beside him.

"Mr. Wu, this is Wang Xibo, the elder brother of 'Wanli Mawang'!" Cui Jian introduced to Wu Jianye.

At this time, Wang Xibo is wearing a ponytail. He is quite muscular and has a small beard. However, he is very polite and does not have the hostility of rock singers of this era.

"Director Wu, I've heard of you a long time ago, and I haven't thanked you yet. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have a place to gather!" 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 'Wanli Mawang' band can be regarded as the first rock band in China.

After the resumption of the college entrance examination, Wang Xibo, Wan Xing, Li Shichao, and Ma Xiaoyi formed the "Wanli Mawang" band at Yanjing Second Foreign Language Institute in 79.

When ordinary people in China were still listening to revolutionary songs, these people were already able to listen to Beatles songs.

And Wang Xibo was also called Old Brother later, and gradually replaced his name.

Cui Jian's "Rock and Roll on the New Long March Road" actually has the participation of my brother, who is the recording of this album.

As for why my brother said that just now, it is because Wu Jianye invested in Northern Lights.

The old people here know it, but the new bands who come here to perform on stage know very little.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Brother, you are welcome, I don't have many hobbies, and rock music is one of the few!"

The old man said: "Director Wu, you can't say it's a hobby anymore. Up to now, your "Born Out" is still one of our favorite rock albums!"

Wu Jianye's "Born Out of the Sky" has almost become the bible in the domestic rock circle of this era. Many people are imitating the songs in it and composing their own songs.

"I'm just fooling around. I'm sure I can't compare with professionals like you!" Wu Jianye said modestly.

In fact, Wu Jianye knew his own business, and he sang purely because of his personal hobby, but compared with these veterans, he was definitely not at the same level of professionalism!

"Mr. Wu, you are boring. I heard that you sang "Walking Man" at a class reunion some time ago? Why, let us listen to it when we have time?" Cui Jian said bluntly.

The two have known each other for a long time, so it is natural for them to speak impolitely.

At this time, Cui Jian usually does not wear the iconic red star cap, but has long hair over the ears, but compared with the band members on stage who can match the hair length of girls, that It's not far off.

"If you have time, I'm just tired of writing scripts today, and I want to come here for a change of mood!"

The filming of "Fighting" has already started, and Zhang Zi'en is watching the preparations for "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". As for Wu Jianye's own filming of "The World of Chu Xing", Wu Jianye also watched Zhao Le's editing progress today.

In the evening, after writing the script for a while, it seemed a bit boring, so I took Dai Zhen to the Northern Lights, just in time to see Cui Jian and my brother were there.

At this time, Wu Jianye saw a thin young man in the corner, sitting there silently wiping the flute in his hand, looking out of tune with the environment of the scene.

Wu Jianye shouted: "Doudou, what are you doing, why don't you know me?"

That young man is none other than Dou Laoxian, a person with a strong pen and ink in the Chinese rock circle.

Wu Jianye and Dou Laoxian knew each other. Wu Jianye bought the courtyard where Dou Laoxian first lived. At that time, Wu Jianye saw him when he went to collect the rent. But at that time, Wu Jianye Ye didn't talk to him. Later, when Tangting Culture's music department signed Dou Laoxian, the two became officially acquainted.

But at this time Dou Laoxian no longer lived there, the country returned the courtyard of their house, and Dou Laoxian lived in his own home.

Tangting Culture has always had its own music department, but compared with the film department, TV department, and animation department, it is always less attractive, mainly because Wu Jianye didn't put his mind on it.

Except for Liu Huan, the mainstream singers signed contracts with Chinese rock bands. Now some people jokingly call the music department of Tangting Culture, which is the entry ticket to the Chinese rock circle. Accepted by the Chinese rock circle!

Dou Laoxian walked over shyly.

"Teacher Wu, I just saw you!"

Dou Laoxian had already left the Black Panther Band at this time, and formed the Dreaming Band by himself. At this time, Dou Laoxian did not have the fairy spirit of later generations, but mostly shy personality.

However, it is estimated that it is this character that contrasts with rock music, coupled with Dou Laoxian's talent, that attracts many women.

Dou Laoxian and Wang Fei were not together at this time, and the girlfriend next to him is still his first love girlfriend, and it is rumored that both parties have met each other's parents
As for whether Wang Fei was considered a third party to intervene later, it is estimated that only the parties will know.

"What day is it today, so many people are here?" Wu Jianye asked.

Dou Laoxian habitually stopped talking, and the older brother on the side smiled and said: "Actually, there is no special reason, it is that everyone came to eat together in the afternoon, and after discussing that there is nothing to do, I came here directly in the evening."

Wu Jianye nodded, and when he was about to say something, the compass band on stage had already 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 team 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!"

"Are you coming to the stage later? I'll give you harmony!" Luo Qi said seriously.

Wu Jianye shook his head with a smile, and said, "I won't be on stage, but I'm a little bored at home, come and have a look!"

Luo Qi shook her head in disappointment.

At this time, Luo Qi was only 17 years old, but the heavy makeup on her face still made it impossible to tell her age.

"Director Wu, if you have time, can you write a song for Compass? I like your "Born Out of the Sky" very much!" Luo Qi said carelessly.

At this moment, Wu Jianye looked into her eyes.

At this time, Luo Qi is still very sound. If I remember correctly, next year Luo Qi will be stabbed in the left eye because of a quarrel with someone, which became one of the reasons why she went astray later. one.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "If you can promise me a condition, I can try to write a song for you!"

Luo Qi looked at Wu Jianye curiously, and asked, "What conditions?"

"That is, you must not have any conflicts with anyone in the past two years!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Luo Qi curled her lips: "What kind of condition is this? If someone points at my nose and scolds me, I can't return the words?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "That'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 two years later!"

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 condition is here, so how about it, if you agree to my condition, two years later, 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 bright, but also Cui Jian, his brother and others beside him.

Although the domestic rock and roll forces have risen, to be honest, rock and roll still cannot enter the mainstream. They are more like the hip-hop and rap of later generations, and they gather more underground
If Wu Jianye can really set up a rock festival in China as he said, it will definitely be very good news for the rock music in China today.

"Old Wu, is what you said true?" Cui Jian asked seriously beside him.

Wu Jianye: "I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing. At that time, I can help you invite world-renowned rock bands to perform with you!"

Wu Jianye is still confident about this point, although Wu Jianye has rarely appeared in the rock circle, but by virtue of his performance at the "Save a Life" concert, Wu Jianye has made a lot of friends 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.

Hearing what Wu Jianye said, the elder brother immediately asked, "Can you invite Bob Dylan?"

My brother is a die-hard fan of Bob Dylan.

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 wanted to say something, Cui Jian and her elder brother jointly stared at her. Where is the status of the two in the Chinese rock circle?

To put it simply, the two are the founders of the Chinese rock circle, and the rock bar invested by Wu Jianye is basically managed by Cui Jian's people. Their status in the Chinese rock circle is unimaginable .

After all, Luo Qi is young now, and she was immediately cowed after being stared at by her elder brother and Cui Jian.

"Okay, I promise you, can't I just be a quail for the past two years!" Luo Qi said cowardly.

"Then let's make a deal, if you let me know, you broke your promise, not to mention you, but your entire compass, there will be no venue for you to perform in the future!" Wu Jianye said finally By then, his tone had become extremely serious.

Luo Qi said: "Don't worry, although I'm not a gentleman, I'm still a nail in my mouth, I won't cause trouble!"

"Then what if I found you?" Wu Jianye asked.

"Then I'll be a quail!" Luo Qi said fiercely, after all, she was a young man, and she must be a little unconvinced when Wu Jianye said that.

Only then did Wu Jianye laugh, and said, "Okay, you guys go to rest!"

After Luo Qi and Compass left, Wu Jianye said to Cui Jian and his elder brother: "I heard that many people in this circle have any preferences?"

The other two major stains on Luo Qi's life are well known, and Wu Jianye only wanted to do these things after seeing Luo Qi.

Cui Jian looked at Wu Jianye in a daze, and it was the elder brother who understood first, shrugged his nose, and said, "Director Wu, is this what you're talking about?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Not bad!"

The old man said: "There are indeed many people in the circle who have this preference, but it is also because of the pressure and want to be inspired by creation!"

Wu Jianye stared at him and said, "Fart, if you don't fix that thing, you won't be able to write songs?"

This is the first time Cui Jian has seen Wu Jianye so angry, and he smoothed 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 small matter, brother, I'm also to blame for this matter, I didn't remind you in advance, but it's not too late to say these things now, you must remember this matter firmly."

"That is in the rock bars invested by me. Singers and bands with such preferences are not 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 criticize the entire rock bar Circle to block!"

Cui Jian said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Wu, don't you go too far like this!"

Cui Jian has no preference in this area, but simply thinks that Wu Jianye is killing the creative passion of rock musicians, and at the same time, he is not satisfied with Wu Jianye's current attitude of speaking.

Wu Jianye said: "This is my bottom line. As people in this circle, you should hope that this circle is healthy more than I do. Don't give me any nonsense that can increase creative inspiration. Those things are things that harm others and yourself. , I am also a creator myself, if the inspiration comes from that thing, I will be sucked to death now!"

"It's still the same sentence, this matter is absolutely not allowed to appear in the rock bar I invested in, and at the same time, for those who have such preferences, tell them to quit as soon as possible, otherwise the entire Chinese music circle will not have them It is impossible to gain a foothold even in the underground music circle!"

When Cui Jian wanted to say something, it was still the elder brother who came out to smooth things over: "Director Wu, don't worry, we also hope that this circle can be clean!"

Only then did Wu Jianye ease his mood, and said kindly: "It's not that I'm harsh on this matter, it's that I have to do this, 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 in a very fashionable way, a bit similar to Britpop, and a little different from the image of domestic rock bands.

The lead singer had a round cap on his head, and said with glasses, "Hi everyone, we are the Metronidazole band, let you listen to what is called authentic Britpop!"
