Chapter 38 Moon Heart Band
Before going to the mall, Yang Xing agreed to his friends in the same dormitory that the band's instruments and audio were contracted by himself. During the days when he came back to take the exam, he was so busy that he didn't care about them for a while. He had to bring Zhang Shengli, who was relatively relaxed, to discuss the formation of the band with them. When a few guys who were afraid of the world would not be in chaos, he really put up the band's airs and posted advertisements for recruiting campus singers throughout the school. Although it was winter vacation and there was no big storm, several people came to apply for the job.
During the winter vacation, everyone went home for the Spring Festival holiday. Zhang Shengli was more enthusiastic in Jiudu, thinking that he would use the computer he was familiar with to help the band arrange music. At that time, MIDI music, which was arranged by computers, began to be widely used in electronic music abroad, but in China, there were not many people who mastered it. At this time, ordinary bands were still recording songs in old-fashioned recording studios. It was hard to imagine that a computer could be used to complete the recording of the entire song in more than ten years. After more than two months of running-in, after spending all the funds provided by Yang Xing and Zhang Shengli's dividends from the stock market, this small electronic band looked pretty good. However, now there is no ammunition and food, and there is still a professional electronic piano. Yang Xing has always been busy and has long put this matter behind his mind. Therefore, everyone doesn't care about the "torture" of Yang Xing, so hurry up and hug the rich people's thighs. After all, money is the boss these days!
After learning the whole story, Yang Xing was still very supportive of their enthusiasm. He always wandered around the turbid external world. It was always a good thing to provide some necessary support to a group of young people who were busy with their interests and regardless of gains and losses in the relatively clean ivory tower of university. Seeing them always reminded me of those youthful and passionate days. Yang Xing did not dispel Zhang Shengli and others' enthusiasm, and added too many of his own ideas. He only proposed some small details to improve, and finally guaranteed to continue to provide funds and rehearsal venues.
These two events touched Zhang Shengli and the others very much. The whole band looked at him with admiration. They were in a state of anxiety and had not come up with a solution for these two things for half a month. Yang Xing came back and took a few words to solve it. Why is the gap between people so big?
Of course, Yang Xing was not just talking about it. Money was a small matter, and he had already thought about the venue. Jiudu Institute of Technology began to build a new campus in the early 1990s. The new campus was only one street away from the old campus, but the separation of this street made the new campus still unsatisfactory. Yang Xing and his friends were in the old campus. It is said that when they were promoted to junior year, they had to move to the dormitory of the new campus. The new campus was vast and sparsely populated, and the teaching equipment was not complete. Many professional courses could not be carried out, so many newly compiled classrooms were semi-idled.
Before Yang Xing was reborn, he remembered that until he graduated from college, he had never been to some classes on the new campus. So when he started to set up a security training base, the first thing he thought of was to use it. When he entered the school, he gave gifts to Vice Dean Du of the school and Director Gou of the Student Affairs Office. At this time, he proposed to borrow several free classes on the new campus to train personnel and pay a rent. This is a good thing for both parties, and it was easy to do it.
Find a class in the training base that is far away from the family and dormitory areas and does not cause noise. As soon as the most important problem was solved, the focus of everyone's discussion was on the selection of songs. It should be said that students in the early 1990s had relatively poor extracurricular activities. At that time, there were no Internet cafes all over the streets, and at most some video halls and game halls. The pressure of getting to college in high school was high, and many people came to study with a relaxed mood in college, so various interest classes were popular in college.
Zhang Shengli's band is very invested and has complete musical instruments, which can attract a group of over-energy college students. Like Chen Changhe's drums, Tan Zhengsheng's bass, Jiang Li's electronic piano, Jiang Baoshan's electric guitar, Yang Xing found that there are quite a lot of talents in their dormitory, and they have two brushes in the main position. No wonder they shouted that they had the biggest voice when they set up the band. Zhang Shengli was mainly responsible for the sound effects, and the other people in the dormitory were not good enough, so they were responsible for the logistics and sound adjustments. From the outer dormitory, they recruited brothers Lan Xueqin and Lan Siqin, a freshman in the English department, who were good at trumpets and black tubes, Ke Zheng, a sophomore in the internal combustion engine department, played the guitar very well, and Yun Haichao, a junior in the machining department, was a rare baritone. After a few people were grouped together, Yang Xing listened to their performance and thought it was very good. He did not discover their talents in his previous life, so maybe no one gave him enough support.
They discussed the band's style and thought it was still a rock. In 1993, Huang Jiaju passed away in Japan, which set off a wave of nostalgia in the entire Chinese circle. Everyone took BYOND as an example. Therefore, the small band also decided to take the rock. Yang Xing contacted a small auditorium on the new campus and took them to the evening. Although the conditions in the small auditorium were relatively simple, the sound insulation effect was good and the electricity was guaranteed. Zhang Shengli moved all their bags of things over, and looked at the venue and almost everyone was satisfied. Everyone simply decided to keep everything here.
Yang Xing greeted the employees who were training not far away, and stared at this place when they were fine so as not to stolen the instrument. She sat down and continued to listen to the unnamed band. Not to mention that they were still hidden in college, although the band skills were lacking, they could still hear their enthusiasm for music. They were all old songs from BYOND and Black Panthers, and Yang Xing was not very interested.
After listening for a while, Yang Xing suddenly had a thought, wouldn’t Wang Yiren have a special gift? He waved his hand to signal them to stop, walked up to them and said, “I think our band doesn’t have their own main songs. When you really have a name, you have to have a few original songs of our own when you go out to participate in the performance. I can’t sing, but I still have some experience in writing songs. I have a few songs, I’ll hum, listen to them?" Looking at this Shengli’s skeptical look, he rarely explained why he didn’t show it before.
After humming a few songs that were familiar to later generations, he finally felt a little conscience and did not shamelessly pirated the well-known songs. He only chose a few songs that he liked but was not too popular to sing. After humming the song, even Yun Haichao and several seniors shouted, "The King of Singers!" He was so impressed that he was impressed. Yang Xing asked complacently: "Have the band named?" Seeing everyone shook their heads, they continued: "These songs are all related to the moon, so how about the moon heart band?"
At the end of March, Kan Dongtian threw out the Jiudu New Center Pedestrian Street plan at the People's Congress, which caused an uproar. The advanced design, perfect business planning, and the requirements covering the functions of many government departments made the city people's congress representatives talk. At the previous Municipal Standing Committee, due to the support of Kan Dongtian and the huge temptation of Yang Xing's plan to fully bear the construction costs, most of them finally passed.
At the People's Congress, all the things Kan Dongtian was worried about were covered by the huge shadow of the new center pedestrian street plan of Jiudu. The focus of the debate among the People's Congress deputies shifted, and his appointment of his confidants and the city's fiscal budget were easily passed. As an inland city located in an inland province, the Municipal People's Congress has a considerable conservative power. In 1995, a private enterprise had a wholly owned development of such a major city center project. If it were not for the huge temptation to link this project with the prospect of changing the economic development direction of Jiudu, it would have been rejected.
Jiudu has always stood in front of the world as a heavy industrial city, but Yang Xing proposed in the plan that Jiudu has extremely rich tourism resources. The annual Peony Flower Festival, Longmen Grottoes, White Horse Temple, Baiyuan, etc., why not gather these resources together to give full play to the charm of the ancient capital of Jiudu and the Jiu Dynasty, build a tourist city that combines food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping, and entertainment, and find a new economic growth point for Jiudu. The pedestrian street project is located in the city center and is very close to the railway station and bus station. The first large tourist attraction that tourists pay attention to after getting off the bus is here. This project can be used as the leading project of this plan and plays a driving role in the city's tourism projects.
The sentence of finding a new economic growth point for Jiudu deeply touched the NPC deputies. Everyone is from Jiudu. They have a deep understanding of Jiudu's slow industrial development and slow economic speed in recent years. Why not try a new path? After fierce discussions, the National People's Congress finally reluctantly agreed to the preliminary planning of the project and agreed to carry out the overpass plan for the intersection of Zhongzhou Road and Mudan Road in advance. However, considering that the future development direction of Jiudu has been discussed, the plan was mentioned to the province and handed over to the province for deliberation.
Yang Xing was helpless about this. After all, it was impossible not to disturb the province if it involved a large project worth 300 million yuan. But Kan Dongtian told him that the preliminary preparations could be carried out, and the investment promotion of this year's Peony Flower Festival could also be carried out in advance. This is to tie his political life to this project. Yang Xing was still very grateful. So he still made preparations in full swing as planned.
There is never a shortage of airtight walls in this world. The huge profit prospects of the project have attracted many sharks who smelled blood. Yang Xing was very satisfied with this. He made a promise in front of Kan Dongtian, but he did not consider investing all his money. He believed that his plan should be the most complete and valuable in this era. The huge population base in Central Plains Province always determines that some people who get rich first will have the vision to pay attention to the benefits of this project.
But things in China cannot be accomplished with just a passion. It is said that planning is based on people and doing things is in heaven. Even if the worst-case scenario is not successful, if you take the plan, you will definitely be able to sell it at a good price. After all, there are always some visionary people in other cities who can discover the value of this plan. Yang Xing promised not to occupy a penny of the city's finances, and he was the idea of these sharks. He could not make enough money by himself. Only by using common interests as bait can these sharks submit.
After Wang Yiren came back, he was pushed to the front desk by Yang Xing as the commander-in-chief of Jiudu Central Pedestrian Street to deal with people of all kinds, while he hid at the school and went to the free time. Wang Yiren, who was hated, wanted to cut Yang Xing twice when he mentioned it. Qin Hong next to him wanted to laugh. Finally, he still had a conscience and asked Qin Hong to be an assistant to Wang Yiren and share some pressure.
