Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

Soon, the lights dimmed, and Lin Yi leaned on the railing of the last row, quietly waiting for the performance to begin.

Although he came early today and could have grabbed a front position, he ultimately chose the back position.

After all, he is not a fan of any company, he just wants to see the quality of Crychic.

Chapter 8 Yamada Ryo and Consulting Fees

As the performance began, various bands that Lin Yi had no impression of began to perform one after another.

Many otakus and 2D fans crowded in the front, cheering enthusiastically and excitedly. Lin Yi in the back row just felt it was a bit noisy.

While waiting for Crychic to come on stage, Lin Yi listened to the band's performance while aimlessly browsing his phone.

Just as the second band was playing, a young girl arrived late.

He has short blue hair covering his eyes, black wide-leg pants and leather shoes, and a slim black shirt on his upper body with the hem tucked into his pants, giving him a cool and handsome feeling.

She did not move forward, but made the same choice as Lin Yi, except that she did not play with her phone. Instead, she quietly watched and listened to the band performance on the stage.

Lin Yi noticed the figure entering his field of vision and raised his head in surprise.

When Lin Yi saw the expressionless face of the girl beside him, whose attention was focused on the music, his pupils dilated slightly.

【Yamada Ryo】

There is no doubt that this cool, quiet and beautiful girl is the one identified by the system.

Yamada Ryo was keenly aware of Lin Yi's gaze and took a step to the side without making a sound.

Girls should protect themselves when they go out alone.

Lin Yi realized that he had caused the other party to misunderstand him, and hurriedly explained: "I just thought it was strange that someone would watch the live show at the end like me, so I took a look. I'm sorry if I offended you."

Yamada Ryo tilted his head and looked at the man, then burst out laughing, but the smile disappeared in an instant.

"Nothing." Yamada Ryo shook his head and focused his attention back on the live.

Lin Yi was not someone who could not read the atmosphere, so he consciously shut his mouth.

It was not until the live performance of this band ended and the next band was preparing to go on stage that Lin Yi tried to talk to the girl.

Based on the first impression, Lin Yi felt that Yamada Ryo was not a layman like himself. She was quite professional in music. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why she did not go up to join in the fun.

Lin Yi did not approach Yamada Ryo, and did not even turn his head, maintaining a very friendly distance.

He said, "I don't know much about music. Can you tell me about the band that just performed?"

Yamada Ryo listened to the words in his ear, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he crossed his arms across his chest with a bit of pride.

Unlike those who just stay in the front row and have fun, she knows a lot.

This man has quite a good eye.

"It's a very classic pop music, the arrangement has traces of imitation and routine, and it doesn't have its own style..."

Unlike what Lin Yi expected, Yamada Ryo spoke much faster when talking about these things, and even her emotions fluctuated. It seemed that guiding Lin Yi, a stranger, made her feel a sense of accomplishment.

Lin Yi's eyes darkened.

Oh no, this girl is a professional, and it seems like she’s more than just an ordinary professional.

Such people are difficult to fool or deceive, and are not the kind of talent that Nebula needs.

But since we have met, it means we are destined to be together. I can try to get closer to her and deepen her impression of me.

In the future, if the Nebula Firm grows in size and its money-losing process becomes mature and stable, it won't be too late to find a way to bring her in. After all, no matter how professional and capable a person is, it is difficult to shake an entire system.

"So how was the performance of the band just now? For example, the guitar, bass and so on?" Although Lin Yi did not understand music, he still had a sense of aesthetics. Just by comparing two by two, he could roughly estimate a person's level.

The reason I asked Yamada Ryo this was so that I could better estimate Crychic's strength later.

"It's just so-so, but as for bass players, they're not as good as me."

Two black lines appeared above Lin Yi's head.

Don't say such ambiguous words!

The new band was ready on stage, and the live performance began again with a burst of noise. Lin Yi consciously shut his mouth.

However, when Lin Yi was about to ask the same question again, Yamada Ryo stretched out his hand towards Lin Yi and calmly said three words: "Consulting fee."

"Huh?...Oh."

Lin Yi was shocked by Yamada Ryo's behavior, but he quickly returned to normal.

He pulled out a 10,000 yen bill from his wallet and placed it in Yamada Ryo's hand.

He actually gave it to me? And it was 10,000 yen?

After a brief moment of surprise, Yamada Ryo put the money into his pocket with peace of mind.

In this regard, Yamada Ryo and Lin Yi are very similar, one really dares to give, and the other really dares to ask.

After receiving the money, Yamada Ryo explained more seriously.

"The style of the band just now is classified as psychedelic rock, from the 1960s... The bassist is not as good as me."

"The bass player in the band just now...is not as good as me."

“…The bass player isn’t as good as me.”

After listening to Yamada Ryo's explanation, Lin Yi only remembered that the bassists of these bands were not as good as Yamada Ryo.

I don’t know if he is bragging or is really confident.

The former is easy to say, but if it is the latter, Lin Yi’s previous decision not to recruit Yamada Ryo for the time being was correct.

The live performance in RiNG was still going on, but when the popular band's part ended, the audience left one after another. Until there was only a small group of audience members left in the venue, Lin Yi finally waited for Crychic.

Under the spotlight of the stage, there were five beautiful girls in uniform.

Among them, Xiangzi, Su Shi, and Mu are of the same style, while Deng and Li Xi are of three other styles. It seems that they are from three different schools.

It was Xiangzi who made the opening remarks. There was a gleam in her amber pupils and a faint smile on her fair and delicate face. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Mina-san, nice to meet you. We are the band Crychic. This is our first time participating in a live show. I hope you will like our songs and support Crychic's subsequent activities!"

"Is everyone ready?"

Xiangzi looked at the drummer at the back, who understood what he meant and after a series of drum beats, the performance officially began.

Lin Yi finally put the phone he had been holding in his hand into his pocket and watched Crychic's live show attentively.

Yamada Ryo noticed this.

Did he come here specifically to see this band called Crychic?

Yamada Ryo also showed some interest in the five people on the stage.

The first songs Crychic played were not original pieces, but two classic pieces that had no copyright issues.

Even a layman like Lin Yi could tell that these two songs were just mediocre. The performance was pretty good, but they were dragged down by the lead singer named Deng.

But when Shoko Toyokawa's slender fingers brushed across the keys again and played the introductory part of the third song, everything changed.

Lin Yi felt a warm feeling.

The five members of Crychic on the stage seemed to be connected heart to heart at this moment. Both their emotions and performances were seamlessly integrated and flawless, giving people a deep sense of resonance.

The lead singer named Deng also exploded her little universe at this moment.

"悴んだ心ふるえる灈瀗

The world is the world

三ることしか知らない春は

It's cold every year

......"

Chapter 9: It would be nice if Crychic disbanded

This song by Crychic is extremely touching.

This was true for both the audience and the five girls on the stage.

The audience silently watched Deng's figure, listened to her inner cry, and gently swayed her arms to the rhythm of the music.

As for the five girls on the stage, except for the one who was concentrating on singing, some were laughing and some were crying, which was enough to show how important this live and this song were to them.

Especially the drummer Shiina Tachibana, who was crying with tears in her eyes, as if this song was tailor-made for her.

When people are immersed in something, time always passes quickly.

The song is over.

It took the audience several seconds to realize that the live show was over.

Enthusiastic and excited cheers broke out from the audience, and some people even shouted Crychic's name while wiping away tears.

Although there were not many audiences for this live show, the response was undoubtedly good.

Gao Songdeng stood on the stage holding the microphone. After singing three songs in a row, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and she was breathing heavily. At this moment, she felt like she was in a dream.

Did she really sing it?

When Deng was sleepwalking, Toyokawa Shoko stood up again.

"The song just now is called "Spring Shadow", which is an original song by Crychic. I hope everyone can support us at the next live!"

Awesome Crychic! I am looking forward to the next live stockings drop!

It would be great if I could make a new song with Deng before the next live.

Crychic left the stage, and Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that I feel relieved, but I know that Crychic must not be signed!

Although the abilities of some of them are not very strong, they are still stronger than the current Aine, and abilities can be trained.

However, the internal unity of Crychic, the emotional resonance and the appeal of its songs are hard to come by. With so many characteristics and advantages, Crychic may not be easy to become popular, but it will definitely not fail easily.

Unfortunately, for Lin Yi, any option other than failure is meaningless. After all, no matter how much money he makes, it belongs to others, and only real losses can fall into his pocket.

Crychic was not the last band tonight. There were two unpopular new bands following them. Having achieved his goal, Lin Yi did not plan to watch any more.

Before leaving, Lin Yi did not forget to listen to Liang's evaluation of them.

"What do you think of Crychic?"

Perhaps because he noticed Lin Yi's attention to Crychic, Yamada Ryo, who received the money, gave a serious review this time.

"'Spring Shadow' is their own song. I like it very much and look forward to their subsequent works."

"The keyboard and guitar are great, the drums and bass are just OK, the lead singer seems to be a newcomer with no basic skills, the voice is good and very emotional, but I think he's trying too hard."

"Finally... the bass player isn't as good as me."

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, then waved goodbye to Yamada Ryo.

Looking at Lin Yi's receding back, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Yamada Ryo's calm face.

She was quite happy tonight. Not only did she get enough of the sharp comments and guidance, but she also earned 1 yuan in consulting fees.

Unfortunately, this kind of opportunity is rare, otherwise her food expenses would be settled.

……

Lin Yi had a habit in his previous life. After watching a competition or performance, he would visit the relevant forums.

After watching the League of Legends game, you should visit Anti-Unlimited Bar, after watching the Valorant game, you should visit VCT Event Bar, and after watching the Apex game, you should visit Ka Bar.

Watching Crychic's performance was no exception.

Lin Yi did not rush home, but ordered a glass of juice and sat down in the lobby of RiNG, drinking while browsing his phone.

He opened social media and searched directly for the keyword [＃Crychic]

Some comments with related terms appeared on the screen, most of which were supportive and praiseworthy.

Recalling Liang's previous comment, Lin Yi also made a comment.
