A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.
Chapter 338 Su Fan's Considerations
The group looked at each other.
After a brief silence, Zhao Ye suddenly picked up his drumsticks and urged impatiently, "Let's do it again! There were two parts in the second half that I didn't quite get right. This time it will definitely be smoother."
The others, of course, had no objection to this proposal.
However, Su Fan said, "Don't rush to do it a second time. I have a question for you: have you ever thought about officially forming a band?"
The group immediately fell silent.
Agula hesitated and said, "We did mention it before, but everyone has their own things to do and different musical interests. If we really formed a band, how we would make a living would be a problem."
Chao Lu nodded: "Occasional cooperation is fine, but for long-term collaboration, we can't just rely on a momentary whim."
"That's the normal way to think." Su Fan didn't try to instill any motivational rhetoric about sticking to your dreams and ignoring life's hardships. Instead, he said seriously, "If it's just for today's live stream, then everyone can go their separate ways afterward. But if you put yourselves together, you can create much more than just one performance. I can provide you with projects, recording facilities, promotional channels, and a basic income. You don't have to give up everything you have right now. You can take some time to work together and decide whether to make this band a long-term career once the work is actually done."
Agula and the others looked at each other, clearly somewhat tempted.
For them, the biggest challenge has never been a lack of passion for music.
The problem is that the traditional music performance market is limited, and it is difficult to support a few people to work together in the long term based solely on interest.
They can occasionally get together to perform for the music they like, but they can't live without considering income and livelihood forever.
What Su Fan could provide was precisely what they lacked most.
Chen Fang couldn't help but ask, "If we really form a band, what style will we mainly play? Pure ethnic rock?"
Su Fan said, "It's not simply about adding electric guitars to folk songs, nor is it about changing the original flavor of traditional music to cater to rock. You can find your roots in grassland music and then use modern music to let more people hear it. Long song, throat singing, morin khuur, and tobshuur are not limitations, but the biggest difference between you and other bands. As for what style you ultimately belong to, don't rush to define yourself. As long as the music truly grows from you, it will naturally form a unique style of your own."
None of them answered immediately.
But from their expressions, it was clear that these words had truly resonated with them.
Agula lowered his head and stroked the morin khuur, as if he was seriously considering the matter.
Chen Fang and Zhao Ye exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with barely concealed anticipation.
Su Fan did not take advantage of the large number of viewers watching the live stream to force the group to make a decision on the spot.
He stood up, brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, and his tone became relaxed again: "Alright, let's stop here for today. I only brought up an idea. In the end, it's up to you which direction the music should take."
After saying that, Su Fan signaled to the production team to end today's live broadcast.
He stopped the conversation there not because he suddenly lost interest.
Instead, give them time to process it.
In fact, the moment he saw Agula and his group, he was reminded of the Hanggai Band on Earth.
The morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), throat singing, long-form singing, and the power of modern rock.
If these people can truly gel together, they might just become another Hanggai team in this world.
Of course, Su Fan's all-out effort was not without selfish motives.
With such a suitable band presented to him, it would be a real waste if he didn't try to sign them to Han Tang Entertainment.
However, signing a contract should not be rushed.
At the very least, Agula and the others need to truly realize what kind of music they can create when they get together.
Su Fan stopped abruptly and ended the live stream.
But the viewers in the live stream were left hanging, unsure whether to jump in or out.
The impromptu ensemble we just played had already built up the atmosphere.
Immediately afterwards, Su Fan suddenly proposed forming a band.
Everyone was waiting for Agula and his companions' answer.
At the most crucial moment, the screen went black.
The comment section immediately exploded.
"What happened? It's over already? I just saw Su Fan start showing off, how come the live stream ended so suddenly?"
"Are you going to form a band or not? Give us a straight answer!"
"Su Fan, you're so good at cutting things off at the end of chapters! It's a waste of your talent that you're not writing novels!"
"After analyzing his style and arranging the instruments, I thought he was about to pull out a song, but then he said he was off work?"
"That combination of morin khuur, throat singing, and rock music was absolutely amazing. If they ever form a band, I'll be the first to follow them!"
"Don't just talk about ideas, show them a piece of music and see if they can become a real band. In the end, it's the music that matters!"
……
Although the live stream has ended, the popularity of the related topics has not decreased.
Many people edited together the impromptu performance and posted it online.
Within just one hour, the video's views began to rise rapidly.
The section in particular, where the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) and electric guitar intertwine and the drumbeats suddenly enter, has been repeatedly analyzed by many music bloggers.
Some people are discussing the possibility of combining folk music with rock music.
Some have begun to speculate whether Su Fan is preparing to sign a new band in Montreal.
Meanwhile, Su Fan had already returned to his residence.
After washing up, he did not lie down to rest as usual.
Instead, he opened his computer and created a new blank document.
"If you want to bring Agura and the others together, what you just said is clearly not enough."
"No matter how beautifully the concept is described, it ultimately comes down to the final product."
"Only when they hear firsthand what kind of power can be unleashed when the morin khuur, throat singing, long song, and rock are truly integrated will they make up their minds completely."
With that in mind, Su Fan typed two words at the top of the document.
Reincarnation.
This song, "On Earth," was written, composed, and performed by the Hanggai Band.
It does not describe a specific scene, nor does it simply praise how vast the grassland is.
It speaks of the changing seasons, the continuation of life, and the ever-advancing time, yet it also circulates endlessly between heaven and earth.
This theme is a perfect match for the grassland.
More importantly, "Reincarnation" is never truly suited to a solo performance.
The morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) can bring out the vast and desolate undertones of the entire song.
Throat singing can add depth to the voice.
Tobshull was in charge of setting the pace.
Then, the electric guitar and drums bring the pent-up emotions to a climax.
Human voices should not be overly refined.
It needs to be rugged, vast, and even have a texture that has been polished by wind and sand.
The voices and instruments of Agula and the others are just right to support this song.
