Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

The next day, Zhou Yang arrived at the karaoke room and, seeing the five people who had arrived early, asked, "Sister Wang has explained everything to you, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately exclaimed excitedly:

"I've already said, we're just waiting for your order, Yang-ge."

"Brother Yang, whatever you say, we'll do it. We promise not to compromise at all."

"Brother Yang, to be honest, I can't wait any longer."

"..."

Zhou Yang nodded, patted Li Xiang on the shoulder, and said to everyone, "Relax, don't be nervous."

Although participating in this rock music festival felt somewhat forced, Zhou Yang was incredibly relaxed. Besides possessing the system, he also didn't really have any achievements to pursue, since he was a complete novice when it came to rock music, regardless of his past or present life.

After a few seconds of pause, he asked again, "Which of you can play the suona?"

Suona?

Upon hearing this instrument, everyone looked at each other in surprise and astonishment.

As a trainee for many years, musical instruments are naturally part of my training, but I mainly focus on the piano and guitar, and maybe a little bit of bass and drums.

Hey, what does this have to do with rock bands?

Zhou Yang waited for a while, and seeing that no one reacted, he said with slight disappointment, "Nobody knows how?"

Just then, Wang Haoran, who was usually the most taciturn of the five, suddenly stammered, "I...I can."

"You can?"

Zhou Yang looked surprised upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Wang Haoran blushed and said, "My father runs a funeral service business at home. He used to be a funeral musician when he was young. Even my mother was someone he tricked into marrying when he went to the countryside. He taught me how to do it when I was little."

After saying that, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Zhou Yang thought to himself, "Your dad is really something. I never expected that there was such a talent hidden among these former teammates."

He cleared his throat and said, "This time we're going to form a rock band, which will definitely be different from the previous Rose boy band. I'll be the lead singer for now, and you guys will be the main musicians."

Although his research was barely passable, his teammates weren't much better.

Everyone nodded, then looked curious and asked, "Yang-ge, since we're going on this trip as a band, should I still be called Rose?"

"this……"

The boy band Rose is a memory of the members' early days when they debuted. They disbanded a few years ago, and now that they're a rock band, it doesn't seem quite right.

"Do you have any good ideas for naming the band?"

Zhou Yang looked at the crowd.

Li Xiang was the first to speak: "I think we should call it the Rose Band. It sounds good and is easy to do."

Before he could finish speaking, someone immediately disagreed: "Rock bands rarely have English names. I think they should be called the Rose Band; that would be more appropriate."

"I think it should be called New Rose Band, after all, it's our reunion after several years."

"I always felt that Rose was not suitable as a rock band name. It didn't feel powerful enough. Look at other bands, they all have names like 'Cheetah' and 'Hill Jackal'."

"How about calling it the Sun Band? That would be powerful and have attitude, and it would also echo the company name, Starry Sky."

"..."

Seeing that the group was arguing endlessly, Zhou Yang grew impatient and immediately said loudly, "Stop arguing, let's just call it Second-hand Rose."

Second-hand roses?

Upon hearing the name of the new band, everyone looked puzzled. Why is it a second-hand band?

Zhou Yang didn't have time to answer their questions. He took out a USB drive from his pocket and said:

"I've written three songs in the last few days, just enough for the three rounds of the rock music festival. Our task for the next month is to practice these three songs until they're perfect..."

He naturally couldn't write songs; all three songs were works by a rock band from his previous life that he redeemed from the shop, spending almost all the "freedom points" he had accumulated since transmigrating.

Although everyone was worried about this, they kept it to themselves.

.

On the other hand, after hearing that Zhou Yang was going to bring a group of former teammates to the rock music festival, General Manager Lei Mingkai immediately "invited" Wang Man to his office.

"What does he know about rock and roll? I'm worried he might cause trouble..."

Although Zhou Yang has given him many surprises in the past six months, his personality and temper have become increasingly eccentric, and he has even begun to gradually slip out of the company's control. This is not a good thing for someone who has always sought stability.

On the contrary, Wang Manman looked relaxed and smiled as she said:

"After all, it was personally invited by the second-in-command of the Music Association, so let him give it a try. Besides, haven't you noticed? Since that incident, Zhou Yang has become increasingly eccentric. Maybe he can really give me some surprises."

Lei Mingkai looked puzzled and asked, "Evil? What kind of evil method?"

Wang Man explained, "In the past six months, he not only wrote two hit songs, which helped us make Sun Weiwei and Lin Youyou famous, but he also managed to get in touch with the behemoth that is CTS through his own scripts."

The past six months have brought about many changes in Zhou Yang that were unimaginable in the past.

"Let's not even mention CTS."

Lei Mingkai's eyes showed displeasure. "He gave away a perfectly good opportunity to take advantage of a big spender as a favor, and even offered a share of the profits. It would be a miracle if that crappy show could make money."

Without Zhou Yang as his cash cow, even though Sun Weiwei and the Candy girl group were treated like beasts of burden, the revenue in the past six months was still far from what it used to be. The only time he was able to get a sky-high salary was deliberately given up by Zhou Yang, so he was very angry.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back and make the arrangements."

After saying that, Wang Man was about to get up and leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Lei Mingkai stopped her, "You may go this time, but make sure the public relations department prepares a contingency plan in advance. If there is any negative public opinion, we will immediately buy trending topics to suppress it."

"OK."

The Rock Music Festival was founded by Hua Rongcheng, the current chairman of the Rock Association. It is held every two years and has been improved over nearly 20 years. It has become a major rock music event in China and even the whole of Asia, attracting countless rock music lovers and bands every time.

This year was no exception. As May arrived, with less than a month left until the rock concert, the organizers, together with the Rock Association and the Music Association, finally began a large-scale promotional campaign, the first of which was to announce the lineup of participants.

Soon, the thirty participating bands were announced to the outside world through various social media platforms. Among them were veteran rock bands that had been in the music scene for decades, as well as bands temporarily formed by companies using their own singers in an attempt to gain a wave of popularity.

Among the many participating bands, Zhou Yang and his band, Secondhand Roses, immediately sparked heated discussions after their identities were revealed.

"Holy crap! It really does have my favorite band, the Cheetahs! I love it! But what's with these secondhand roses?"

"Hey upstairs, according to the announced lineup, the lead singer of this Secondhand Roses band is none other than the famous Zhou Yang! How about it? Aren't you excited? (doge)"

"Why would a perfectly good rock music festival invite a dog like Zhou Yang to compete? Isn't that just disgusting?"

"Nonsense! The organizers are clearly trying to capitalize on Zhou Yang's popularity."

"Damn it, is this bastard really going to sing 'Learn to Meow' at the music festival?"

"Following up from the previous post, it could also be 'last-minute cramming'."

"..."

Unsurprisingly, a flood of criticism came from the rock music scene, mainstream musicians, and independent media outlets targeting the organizers and Zhou Yang.
