"If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai
At least I can still write poems to amuse girls.
If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai
Creation can reach such a high level and be admired by so many people
If I could do it all over again..."
Li Mu made some adjustments to the arrangement of this song. Instead of adding an outro after the last sentence "If I could do it again", after this sentence was sung, all the instruments stopped at the same time, and then the song it's over.
This unexpected way of arranging the music made everyone who was immersed in it unexpectedly. Suddenly they found that it ended so simply. Everyone felt that they still had something to say, but they still applauded involuntarily, and those The girls' screams filled the entire stadium.
The judges all looked excited, especially the deputy music director of a record company from Yanjing.
Zhang Kexuan was so excited that he took his three friends and bowed to the audience. Unexpectedly, this caused the girls to scream again and again.
The host came on stage and asked the judges to give scores. Unexpectedly, five people gave four 9 points and one 8 points. The total score of the simple plan was 27 points, currently the highest in the audience.
The judges also praised the melody line and arrangement of this song. The deputy music director from Yanjing even praised it without hesitation: "Your song is very good. The melody is not only nice to listen to but also very easy to remember. I believe this song The song will definitely be widely sung in the future. To be honest, before I came to Jinling, I didn’t expect to hear such a good original song. The lead singer’s voice is also very good, and the external conditions are also very good. If you have other outstanding people Original songs, I think I will definitely be the first to consider signing you!”
Zhang Kexuan and others were so excited that they thanked the judges, bowed to the audience again, turned and left the stage.
Everyone around them was talking about the performance of the simple plan just now. This instant-kill appearance shocked them quite a lot.
Judging from the attitudes of the judges and the audience, it is certain that Simple Plan’s performance this time was a blockbuster.
Chen Wan leaned forward at this moment, holding her chin and looking sideways at Li Mu, like a nymphomaniac fan: "You are great!"
Li Mu blinked: "It's just so so, let's go, I won't suffer here anymore."
The four people who made the simple plan were very excited. After packing up their instruments, they came out. When they saw Li Mu, the four people suddenly lined up. Zhang Kexuan took the lead. He walked up to Li Mu and showed that he was holding Li Mu's right hand with both hands. Then there was a figure that was even more intense than 90 degrees. Bow deeply and deeply.
"Brother Mu, thank you!"
Then there is Ye Tianming...
"Brother Mu, thank you!"
Then comes summer…
"Brother Mu, thank you!"
Then there is Gu Wei...
Li Mu felt like a godfather, accepting the worship of four believers.
After worshiping, Zhang Kexuan blushed and said: "Brother Mu, please take a look at the next song..."
"I knew you couldn't show your courtesy for nothing." Li Mu then asked: "In the next game, will you directly win the provincial championship?"
"That's right." Zhang Kexuan nodded: "The band with the highest score in the next rematch will go to Yanjing."
"What about after arriving in Yanjing?"
"There should be two rounds of competition in Yanjing. After the first round, five bands will be selected, and the champion, second and third place will be selected in the second round."
Li Mu said: "In other words, I will prepare three more songs for you?"
Zhang Kexuan was a little embarrassed: "Just send Buddha to the West. Don't we still have something to do with the music website? Besides, how much three songs cost, we three brothers will definitely pay you a lot."
Li Mu waved his hand: "We'll talk about the money later. Let's go to your rehearsal room first, and I'll give you the second song."
"Brother Mu is interesting, I didn't say anything!"
…
The second song Li Mu gave to Simple Plan was "Sunflower" released by Xie Tianxiao in 2005.
Xie Tianxiao is regarded as the godfather of rock music and the king of rock scene in later generations of rock circles. However, most of his songs are relatively noisy and are not suitable for Li Mu's positioning of Simple Plan.
The overall music style of Simple Plan must focus on pop, and music that is too alternative or too rock cannot be used for them to sing.
However, this song "Sunflower" can be said to be one of Xie Tianxiao's rare positive songs. The lyrics are very healthy and uplifting, and the melody is very good. The arrangement is also very restrained. It is nice, touching, and neither noisy nor noisy. It is a rare positive sound in domestic rock music. Good energy song.
After the lyrics were written, Chen Wan was the first to praise: "The lyrics of this song are so well written. It is a sunflower seed struggling to sprout in the dark soil. It is concise and concise. This kind of lyrics can be said to be modern poetry." It’s not an exaggeration.”
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Is it so good that you are so generous in praising me?"
"Yes." Chen Wan nodded and said seriously: "Today's lyrics, pop songs are all about love, rock songs are cynical, but this song "Sunflower" is definitely a good and positive work."
Zhang Kexuan and others also praised it repeatedly, especially Ye Tianming: "I think the lyrics of this song are better than "Li Bai" and have profound meaning."
"You still know what profound meaning is." Zhang Kexuan curled his lips and continued: "But it is indeed very profound. I think it is very good."
Li Mu said: "This kind of lyrics has a wide range of uses. It can be used to inspire young people, and it can also be used to give hope and encouragement to people who are suffering. It can even be used for anti-war and anti-terrorism. If you put it This song is a hit, and there is no guarantee that it will be a hit. There is a very high possibility that it will occasionally appear on TV or be quoted by a TV station."
"Where's the song?" Zhang Kexuan couldn't wait to say: "Brother Mu, hurry up and sing it for us, let us enjoy it first."
"It's done." Li Mu picked up Zhang Kexuan's guitar and said to Ye Tianming and Gu Wei: "I will play and sing the first verse by myself later, and you can just follow along in the second verse."
For the most basic accompaniment, the drummer only needs to make a rhythm, and the bass only needs to find the root of the chord, which is not difficult for them.
Immediately, Li Mu sang "Sunflower" for the first time in the rehearsal room of Simple Plan.
"The beautiful sky is always boundless as far as the eye can see
There is a seed buried under the clouds
Nutrition comes from the sludge all over the floor
Take root and sprout and still obey God’s will…
Countless raindrops sprinkled the earth in front of me
There's only one problem standing here
Sunflower, if you only grow in the dark
Sunflower, will you bloom (or will you be afraid)?”
Li Mu has a better voice than Zhang Kexuan, so he sings with great feeling. When Xie Tianxiao, the rock uncle from Si Zhang, sang this song, his voice was not pleasing to pop music listeners, so Li Mu deliberately changed his singing style to be more pop-oriented. In this way, it feels more acceptable to the public.
Zhang Kexuan was very excited when he heard it. With this song, he was very confident that he would directly participate in the finals held in Yanjing as the provincial champion!
Li Mu sang it several times, and after Zhang Kexuan had memorized it, he explained the arrangement of the song to the band members. After everything was taught, Li Mu asked, "When is the next game?"
"Waiting for notification." Zhang Kexuan said: "The more than fifty bands in the preliminary round will compete for several days, and then they will be screened based on their scores, and then the bands that enter the next round will be notified of the specific competition time."
Li Mu smiled and said: "You scored 27 out of 30 points. You can definitely enter the next round."
"That's right." Zhang Kexuan looked excited: "The clips of the provincial qualifiers across the country will be broadcast on major satellite TV stations next Saturday. I don't know if our "Li Bai" will be broadcast."
"Definitely." Li Mu patted his chest: "The TV station also hopes to capture the audience's attention. Simple Plan, whether it is a person or a song, is perfect."
With that said, Li Mu added: "When the photos of the performance taken today come out, remember to send them to me and I will decide which portal to post PR posts on."
"become!"
"Public relations posts and troll campaigns all cost money. I'm a pauper. You'll have to pay for it when the time comes."
"Is this a big deal? Is one hundred thousand enough? If it's not enough, add more."
Li Mu nodded: "Just one hundred thousand, that's enough for now."
Li Mu already has a plan on how to use the 100,000 yuan. First, he will get two servers, one for Eting and one for creating a forum.
There is no powerful tool for group chatting like QQ group. If Zhao Kang builds a navy team, he lacks a platform to manage members and issue orders. There are hundreds or even thousands of navy troops. If orders cannot be communicated effectively, efficiency will naturally be greatly affected. It has a huge impact. It doesn’t cost much to simply build an internal forum, but it is enough to support a navy team of several thousand or more people. It can be said that it is a one-time investment that will benefit you for life.
Two servers, plus the cost of hosting and bandwidth, are only a few tens of thousands yuan. Zhao Kang will be given another 50,000 yuan to use as the initial capital for the establishment of the navy. It can also take this opportunity to test Zhao Kang's overall management capabilities. .
