Chapter 17 Big Bird
…
The lead singer is definitely the soul of a band.
The lead singer plays a very important role in the band's musical style and creative core.
If the lead singer leaves, many bands are basically gone.
Such examples abound: like the Black Panther band left Dou Wei and drifted further and further away.
Just like the band No. 43 Baojia Street, it died immediately after leaving Wang Feng.
The Beyond band also disbanded after leaving Wong Ka Kui.
Back then, Xu Kai, who was both a singer and a songwriter, founded the Big Bird band with Xiong Zijian, Qi Siyu, Han Mingze and Dong Ye, and immediately became the soul of the band.
In just three years, Xu Kai brought the Big Bird Band to a peak.
However, when the Big Bird band was at its peak, Xu Kai mysteriously disappeared.
Then, bassist Dong also announced that he would lead the Big Bird band to establish Maizi Entertainment and withdrew from the Big Bird band, seemingly moving from the front stage to behind the scenes.
Not long after, the lead singer and lead guitar was replaced by the original guitarist and backing vocalist Han Mingze, and Han Mingze recruited a new bassist on behalf of the Big Bird band.
Since then, although Han Mingze has been working hard to restore the glory of Big Bird Band, he also tried to release several of his original songs, but the response was not good, fans did not buy Han Mingze's account, and Big Bird Band could no longer reproduce its previous glory.
Later, Han Mingze and others could only sing the songs left by Xu Kai.
Big Bird finally had a way to make money.
This is also the main source of income for Maizi Entertainment.
But as time went on, the Big Bird band kept singing the same songs over and over again, and Xu Kai never showed up. It was inevitable that Han Mingze and others would be accused of squeezing out the lead singer and exploiting their teammates.
In addition, there are rumors that Xu Kai chose to leave and completely leave the Big Bird Band because Xu Kai and Dong Ye broke up, and Dong Ye’s withdrawal is just the proof that the Big Bird Band is no longer the Big Bird Band it used to be.
Since Dong was unwilling to mention the incident that she had caused and that made her regret for the rest of her life, Han Mingze and others did not make any explanation to the public.
This resulted in the situation of Maizi Entertainment and Big Bird Band becoming increasingly worse, and they have even been unable to make ends meet in the past two years.
The previous bassists did not have such deep feelings for Big Bird and chose to leave one after another when they saw that the band was in such a bad situation.
It can be said that after Dong Ye, the bassist of Big Bird Band has been changed again and again.
By the time it came to Gulinlin, she was already the sixth one.
Compared with the previous five bassists, Gulinlin is not only beautiful and good at playing bass, but also generous and unpretentious.
Xiong Zijian and Qi Siyu like this new teammate very much.
So, after hesitating for a while, Xiong Zijian said: "What's being said outside is all false. Big Bird and Little Bird haven't broken up, and Big Bird hasn't left our band. He's still the lead singer and lead guitarist of our band. Da Han is just temporarily replacing Big Bird as the lead singer and lead guitarist."
No one noticed that after Xiong Zijian said this, Han Mingze's expression froze immediately! Han Mingze quickly adjusted his expression and said, "Why are you saying this to Xiao Gu? Didn't we agree not to..."
"If you don't tell us, we won't be able to keep this bassist." Qi Siyu interrupted Han Mingze.
"If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Gu is the daughter of Big Bird, right?" Qi Siyu asked Gu Linlin with a smile.
"Yes."
Gu Linlin admitted it openly: "Ever since I heard Big Bird singing "Fly High" ten years ago, I have been Big Bird's fan. In the past ten years, I have been asking about Big Bird's news and collecting things related to Big Bird. I think Big Bird is very talented. I believe that if Big Bird had not disappeared inexplicably, our Big Bird band would have been famous all over the country."
After hearing what Gulinlin said, Han Mingze could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
Qi Siyu turned his head and said to Xiong Zijian, "What do you think? I told you that Xiao Gu kept asking about Big Bird, so it must be Big Bird's fault, but you still didn't believe it."
Xiong Zijian shrugged and said, "You win."
Qi Siyu turned his head to Han Mingze who forced a smile and said, "In this situation, if we don't tell Xiao Gu the truth, will Xiao Gu accompany us to wait for Big Bird to be released from prison?"
"Big Bird is in jail?" Gulinlin was shocked.
"Don't make that expression. This is not Big Bird's fault."
Then Qi Siyu told Gulinlin everything that happened that year.
After hearing this, Gu Linlin's eyes were full of stars: "Big Bird is so manly! Going to jail to protect the woman he loves is so cool!"
"More obsessed with him?"
"Um."
"Then are you willing to wait with us until Big Bird is released from prison?"
"willing."
Qi Siyu looked at Han Mingze and said, "See, it's so simple. If you had told me so directly earlier, would we have to change so many bassists?"
Han Mingze said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but Xiao also doesn't want to talk about what happened back then."
"Why doesn't Xiaoye want to talk about what happened back then?" Gu Linlin asked curiously, "Is it because she feels guilty?"
"Of course."
"You don't know that Xiaoye bought the rental house where she and Da Niao lived at the time, and installed an iron gate and iron fence, so no one was allowed in. She would never come out unless she had to."
"If you don't feel guilty, can Xiao go to jail with Da Niao?"
Hearing Xiong Zijian say this, Gu Linlin said sourly: "Xiao Ye is quite infatuated."
"How long will it take for the big bird to be released from prison?" Gulinlin asked.
"He was sentenced to life imprisonment, but it was commuted to 20 years in prison in the second year after Da Niao entered prison. After that, his sentence was reduced three times to a total of seven years. This means that in just over three years, Da Niao will be able to be released from prison," said Qi Siyu.
After listening to Qi Siyu's words, Han Mingze took off his glasses, then lowered his head and began to wipe them.
"Three years is not a long time. I can wait," said Gulinlin.
"It's useless even if you can wait. Xiaoye has been waiting for the big bird for so long, how can you snatch the big bird away?" Xiong Zijian said.
"It's hard to say. Wang Baochuan waited for Xue Pinggui for eighteen years, and Xue Pinggui finally married Princess Daizan." Gulinlin said confidently.
Xiong Zijian and Qi Siyu both shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "Little girls nowadays really dare to love and hate."
Han Mingze's fingers were almost white from wiping his glasses. "Damn it, where does Xu Kai get such great charm? Not only does he make Xiao Ye wait for him so willingly, but he even makes a random girl wait for him. Why?"
After calming down for a while, Han Mingze raised his head and encouraged Gu Linlin with a smile: "Come on, Xiao Gu! I support you in grabbing the big bird!"
Xiong Zijian and Qi Siyu looked at each other inconspicuously after hearing what he said, and then Xiong Zijian said, "Xiao Gu, don't listen to Da Han. Xiao Ye gave birth to a child for Da Niao, and the child is almost eleven years old now. The relationship between the two of them is very good. You definitely have no chance."
Who would have thought that Gulinlin would stubbornly say, "What's wrong with having given birth to a child? It's as if no one can't give birth to a child."
"Brothers, this is for your own good. We're afraid that you'll get hurt. What you don't know is that Da Niao and Xiao Ye are actually husband and wife. You definitely don't have a chance." Qi Siyu also advised.
"I'm already an official member of Big Bird. When Big Bird is released from prison, Xiao Ye can still stop me from contacting Big Bird?"
Gu Linlin curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "If Xiao Ye is really like this, then she is too domineering. It is better not to have such a woman."
Xiong Zijian and Qi Siyu had a headache: "We finally found a bassist we like, but there is still such a big hidden danger."
Only Han Mingze smiled sincerely: "This little girl might be of great use."
Xiong Zijian couldn't help asking, "Xiao Gu, let me ask you, if one day you become Big Bird's wife, will you allow other women to have ideas about Big Bird?"
"Of course not! Big Bird has only me as a woman!"
