Chapter 20 The Rich Second Generation

When Li Mu, who had no driver's license, drove his car to the outskirts of Jinling City, it was already 11:40 noon. Although he encountered some traffic police along the way, none of the traffic police tried to stop the A6 for inspection, which was much more convenient.

Before entering the city, Li Mu changed with Chen Wan again. He didn't know where Chen Wan was going, and Chen Wan himself couldn't say it, so he simply let her open it himself.

Chen Wan first took out her cell phone and called, telling the other party that she had arrived in Jinling, but she needed to have a meal first and then go to find the other party. The two made an appointment for a time to meet somewhere at 1:30 in the afternoon.

When Chen Wan hung up the phone, Li Mu asked curiously: "Sister Wan, what are you doing in Jinling? You won't say anything after asking you all the way."

"I." Chen Wan laughed and blinked mysteriously: "Keep confidential!"

"Okay." Li Mu felt bored and didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Wan was familiar with the provincial capital and drove slowly to the city. She first found a restaurant and had a meal with Li Mu, and then drove Li Mu to a commercial area not far from the hotel.

Li Mu studied in the university in Jinling in his previous life and knew that the commercial area she went to was very special.

This was originally a failed commercial street development project in Jinling. I wanted to build a pedestrian street but it didn't start. Later, many idle storefronts were occupied by some art people, including art, sculpture, photography and music. Later, there were several teams specializing in original videos developing here. Some of them were like the Yanjing 798 later, but in terms of scale and maturity, they were far inferior to 798, not to mention that they are just a prototype now, and at most they can only be regarded as a place where local literary youths in Jinling show off.

There are several music bars along the street, and there are several cafes with slightly higher artistic styles, several piano stores, several art galleries, and dance training classrooms.

At the beginning, this place was a place where college students and a few international students and foreign teachers liked to come, and gradually became a gathering place for literary and artistic youth.

Li Mu didn't know what Chen Wan came here to do, so he helped Chen Wan roll the car into the parking space, so Chen Wan took him in.

After walking all the way to the deepest part of this commercial street, Li Mu was taken by her to a place called "Jinling Noise Control".

"Noise-making?" Li Mu stared at the graffiti-style signboard and asked in surprise: "Did you make noise?"

"Yeah." Chen Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "My cousin made it, the band rehearsal room and recording studio."

Li Mu curled his lips. Could it be that Chen Wan was so good? She ran over from afar, just to watch the local underground band rehearsal?

What is the level of the local underground band in 2001? As Li Mu, who went to Jinling to attend university in the second half of 2001, he has truly experienced it.

Most local bands nowadays basically don't even play "Really Love You" well, and all the bands use domestic five-rate instruments. Only the lead guitarist can have a Japanese ZOOM 505 effect device, and the speakers they use are also bad, and the tone is like a shit. Metal rock sounds full of plastic smell. If the bassist plays a note with some strength and feeds it back into the speaker, it is like an elephant fart.

But since she was here, Li Mu didn't think much about it. She was accompanying Chen Wan, and she would do whatever she wanted.

As Li Mu stepped into the noise control in Jinling, he began to realize that it was interesting.

Although the place was hidden very deeply, after entering, Li Mu discovered that it turned out to be a very high-end band rehearsal room.

Li Mu also had amateur bands when he was in college. After working part-time for half a year, he could only afford a fifth-rate garbage electric guitar. He went online to watch pictures of imported musical instruments from abroad all day long. Unexpectedly, he saw everything he had dreamed of when he was young.

A four-person rock band was holding a musical instrument in the rehearsal room at this time, as if in a rehearsal.

Li Mu could see at a glance that one of the long-haired guitarists was holding a sunset GIBSON, which was the same as the Slash of Gunhua Band, with RMB 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

Another guitarist and bassist's equipment is also very awesome. They are basically world-class first-tier brands, so drummers are even more popular. Not to mention the top Japanese TAMA drum set, just a set of various cymbals can't be put out for less than tens of thousands of yuan.

Li Mu was stunned. These are all rich people!

The boy holding the sunset color GIBSON and having a big hair looked twenty-four. When he saw Chen Wan coming in, he whistled and smiled, "Xiao Wan, didn't you ask you to come at one half a day? That's only one."

"Come here to see you rehearsals." Chen Wan smiled and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a while, and your hair has grown again."

The young man with long hair laughed and looked at Li Mu and asked, "Is this the little brother you are talking about?"

"That's right." Chen Wan hurriedly pulled Li Mu and introduced to everyone: "Brothers, this is my younger brother, Li Mu."

Li Mu was confused, why did he still involve himself?

I don’t know what happened yet, the young man with long hair stretched out his hand to Li Mu and said, “Hello, my name is Zhang Kexuan, and I am Chen Wan’s cousin. Chen Wan said that you can write songs and write a very good work?”

Li Mu suddenly widened his eyes, turned to Chen Wan, with a sunny expression on his face...

Chen Wan was a little embarrassed by Li Mu's view, and hurriedly said guiltily: "It's Li Mu. I think the zebra you sang last time is very nice. Then I really hope you can record this song, so I contacted my cousin. The room in front of him is a rehearsal room and a recording studio behind him. I didn't explain it to you before coming, don't be angry with me, okay?"

Zhang Kexuan also nodded and said, "Li Mu, right? Let me tell you that the equipment here costs a lot of money. I dare not say that the recording effect is comparable to that of the well-known recording studios in the United States, but it is one of the best in private recording studios in China. I will help you record a demo later. If you are interested, you can send it to the record company to try it."

"Forget it." Li Mu waved his hand: "I'm just an amateur music lover and don't want to make any records."

"Hi!" Zhang Kexuan said indifferently: "It's no big deal. If you don't want to release a record, it's good to record a demo as a souvenir!"

"Yes!" Chen Wan said with a pleading look: "The main reason is that I think your song "Zebra Zebra" is so good. You can record it and leave it to me for a souvenir. You can copy it to MP3. Isn't it good if I can listen to it?"

Li Mu sighed. How expensive MP3 is these days, it is not much cheaper than a mobile phone. Moreover, he really impressed this rich and beautiful sister, and he mobilized everyone to record a song.

There is also Zhang Kexuan and his three teammates, Damn, the sound insulation, lighting, high-end split speakers, mixers, and these equipment plus their musical instruments are probably one million!

If the standards of the recording studios in the future are really higher, it will be even more unscore. It is normal for a vocal microphone to have more than 100,000, and a pair of monitor speakers to have more than 100,000. This is not counting those recording equipment. Oh my god, millions are taken out to do rock? Crazy?

In this era, why don’t you make a fortune if you have this money in the country?… Are the lives of rich second generations so exaggerated?

However, Li Mu thought again that it is a good thing for rich second-generations to do rock and roll, and it is much better than buying a sports car for millions and going out to harm ordinary people.

Li Mu couldn't say anything, he came here. Since Chen Wan really wanted to listen to "Zebra Zebra", she would just record it herself. She didn't spend money on her own anyway. When she went to college, others bragged to herself about what award she had won before, and she could still brag with others. My buddy graduated from high school and she also had a single.

At this time, Zhang Kexuan saw that Li Mu's expression had calmed down a lot, and said, "You guys sit for a while first. Let's wait twice now. We have signed up for the Ice Power Pioneer National Band Competition. The preliminary competition will be in a few days. We are in intense rehearsal."

Li Mu nodded and sat down with Chen Wan. Zhang Kexuan communicated with several buddies in the band and said, "Come on, let's complete the track."

Li Mu thought to himself that he didn't seem to have any impression of the character Zhang Kexuan in his previous life. Logically speaking, with such awesome equipment, even if such a band is not strong enough, he will be very famous in Jinling. Why haven't he heard of it?

Just as I was thinking, the band was already on stage.

"You are my angel, my ANGEL, bringing me luck and endless happiness..."

Is this a famous song for Broadda? Li Mu spitted a mouthful of black blood. Dada released an album in January this year. These guys are so awesome equipment, they are playing Copy. Don’t you know that the band is the king of originality?

However, although they are not original, their performance skills are still up to date. The lead singer is Zhang Kexuan. His voice is pretty good, but Li Mu feels that his voice is not suitable for this popular punk-style song.

Li Mu and Chen Wan listened to them having three songs in a row, including Dada Band, Beyond's "The Earth" and Black Panther's "Don't Hate Me".

After singing the three songs, Zhang Kexuan was so tired that he looked like a grandson, especially the last song of Black Panther. He couldn't sing his voice down even though he had a down-tongue. It was very difficult.

"Li Mu, you have written songs yourself, so you must have some foundation. I'll give you some comments?" Zhang Kexuan looked at Li Mu with anticipation.

No matter what, I can play guitar these days, and I must have learned a little bit by little if I can write songs. Although most fans think the songs written by them are a bit terrible in Zhang Kexuan's opinion.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Poppunk, pop rock, hard rock, the style is too messy, and you can only imitate it, completely copy it according to the original version, and there is no adaptation of your own."

"The most important thing is that these three styles of singing with your voice are not suitable, but you didn't try to sing in your own style. You spent so much money on a band. Could it be that you didn't even find the style you suit, right?"
