When Lin Sen showed some signs of relenting, Bei Chen took out demos of three rock songs.
One song is a pop hit, one is a phenomenon, and one is a masterpiece.
"You guys are well prepared!" Even a veteran like Lin Sen couldn't refuse the appearance of these three songs.
If it were the first two songs, he could remain calm, but when a top-tier rock song was played, Lin Sen was almost speechless.
He stared intently at Bei Chen in front of him. This person was even more terrifying than he had imagined, possessing talent that was no less than Qing Chuan's.
The chains that had been sealed in my heart were broken by an irresistible force at this moment.
All that remains is the sound of a fluttering heartbeat.
Lin Sen knew that he could no longer refuse.
For these songs, for Bei Chen's talent, this comeback is worthwhile!
"Phew!" Lin Sen took a few deep breaths, then made a decision: "These songs remind me of Qingchuan."
I can join the Masked Band, but I have one condition.
Upon hearing Lin Sen's agreement, the three of them couldn't hide their smiles: "Please speak!"
Lin Sen knew this condition was somewhat difficult, but he had to mention it: "I know that the Masked Band has no connection with the Five Centimeters Band and will not follow the same path as the Five Centimeters Band."
But I'll still try to reach out to my old partners from back then. If they agree to join the Masked Band, I hope you'll consider it too.
Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning did not reply immediately, as they needed to discuss it further.
The band Five Centimeters also has a drummer and a bassist.
These two are not as famous as the guitarist with heterochromia, but they are still quite skilled.
But after so many years, it's unknown whether their skills have declined.
For others, Lin Sen's conditions would be difficult to accept.
More people mean more salary and benefits, and they might even take a share of the band's profits.
But for Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning, this was not a problem at all.
First of all, they are not pursuing a purely singer-centric career. Instead, they primarily operate bars, while also managing both singers and investors, which allows them to afford two additional salaries.
Secondly, Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning are the owners of the Beehive Bar, which means they can't be on stage all the time.
If they could come, together with Lu Jiuyuan and Lin Zhixia, it would already be a complete band.
With them permanently stationed, the two bosses, Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning, can step in only at crucial moments or when releasing new songs.
This would bring great convenience to both of them.
Finally, having worked together for a long time, they have a higher level of understanding and are a mature band.
Many problems and conflicts that arise when bands are first formed are nipped in the bud and never arise.
In summary, accepting them is entirely beneficial for Hive Bar!
"If they're willing to come, we'd be more than happy to!" This was the conclusion the two reached.
Thus, it was a foregone conclusion that Lin Sen would join the Masked Band.
What Lin Sen didn't expect was that Lu Jiuning carried the agreement with him, as if afraid he would run away.
Lin Sen, feeling both amused and exasperated, took the agreement, glanced at it, and then signed his name. Since he had already made his decision, there was no need to hesitate any longer.
"By the way, Brother Sen, there's something I need to discuss with you!" Lu Jiuning even changed his form of address very quickly.
"What's up?"
Lu Jiuning briefly recounted the history of the Beehive Bar and the process of selecting different themes for each episode to compose music to Lin Sen before getting to the main point:
"That's right, this episode's theme is rock songs."
Neither Mr. Mask nor Beehive Bar has any real foundation in the rock music scene.
But you're different, Sen. You're a veteran in the rock scene.
So we'd like to borrow your name to promote our upcoming song.
Lin Sen immediately understood Lu Jiuning's needs: to use the news of his comeback to generate buzz.
Lin Sen was already used to the common practices in the entertainment industry. "It's a small matter, do whatever you want!"
Since I've decided to come out of retirement, what's wrong with being a little high-profile?
Having arrived here, the mission was complete! The three of them then left Lin Sen with no time to prepare and pack his luggage.
On the way back, the three of them felt much more relaxed than when they arrived.
Only now did I have the mind to notice the beautiful scenery flashing by.
"By the way, Xiao Jiu, one of the three songs is for you! But you'll be performing at the Beehive Bar, and the Masked Band will be there to help you out."
It was that phenomenal song.
After all, Lu Jiuyuan actually spent ten million to buy the song. Although it was to help his own sister, he couldn't let her suffer too much of a loss.
"Holy crap, really? This song is for me? Brother Chen, you're my biggest idol for life!" If Lu Jiuyuan hadn't been the driver, he would have jumped up from his seat long ago.
Lu Jiuning scoffed, "I remember you were saying not long ago that Shujun was your idol. What? You've suddenly changed your mind?"
Shujun was born into a prestigious family and had a deep understanding of classical Chinese music. His classical-style songs were almost unparalleled.
It ranks among the top three in the traditional Chinese style music songwriting chart.
The two ahead of him were due to their seniority and seniority, and one of them had even passed away.
Strictly speaking, Shujun can be considered the foremost figure in the ancient style of literature and art in the last twenty years.
Lu Jiuyuan's admiration is not without reason.
However, Shujun was too scholarly and spoke in a very formal manner, so Lu Jiuyuan couldn't get along with him...
"Sis, you must have misheard. Besides, that was before. My biggest idol now is Brother Chen!"
