Around noon the next day, Chen Wenxin called Wan Feng from the county town.
"The principal offender had numerous previous convictions and was sentenced to life imprisonment for this incident. The other two accomplices were sentenced to ten and eight years in prison, respectively. Zhu and Lu, because they surrendered themselves and reported the criminal gang, were given significant meritorious service and were sentenced to three years in prison with four years suspended."
Chen Wenxin is a really capable woman. She actually managed to get Zhu and Lu a four-year suspended sentence.
"Wenxin, thank you. Where are Zhu and Lu now?"
"He won't be out until tomorrow."
"Okay, I got it. When he comes out tomorrow, bring him to Jiangwei."
After getting off work at noon, Wan Feng was too lazy to go home, so he just had a meal in the cafeteria.
After dinner, he prepared to visit the customs and maritime affairs department, so he staggered out of the gate of the old Nanwan factory.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I saw a large group of people, both men and women, gathered on the side of Wanxin Park near the bay entrance, and there was a sound like knocking on a washbasin.
Wan Feng asked the guard, "What's going on there?"
The guard also looked confused: "I don't know!"
It shouldn't be a gathering to cause trouble. The place is no more than 50 meters away from the security company headquarters. If it was a fight, the security company people would have rushed out long ago.
However, Wan Feng still went over to join in the fun. He was free anyway, so he decided to see what was going on.
Wan Feng walked closer and understood what was going on.
There were five people in the circle, two broken guitars, a set of broken drums, and one person holding a maraca. One person was doing nothing and singing Lao Cui's "Nothing" in a clanging manner.
Is this a band?
The musical instruments are incomplete and too poor. Did you pick up the drum set from the garbage dump or make it yourself?
It's really no different from the sound of knocking on a washbasin.
The lead singer's voice is not outstanding, it can only be said to be average, and he fails to express the vicissitudes of the song.
In the past two years, rock music has begun to heat up in China, especially after the release of Black Panther's album "Black Panther" last year, which caused a great response among young people. This trend has a tendency to sweep across the country.
In his previous life, Wan Feng became interested in rock music after he accidentally spent three dollars to buy a pirated Black Panther album.
There was no reason why I bought that pirated tape. I was simply attracted by the name "Black Panther". Only someone with a middle school syndrome would buy such a thing.
I didn't expect to fall in love with the voice of that guy named Dou Wei so quickly.
In his previous life, Wan Feng had listened to many songs from domestic and foreign rock bands. In his mind, in terms of voice and singing skills alone, he felt that no one could match Dou Wei.
If it weren't for that woman Dou Wei leaving Black Panther, he was sure that Black Panther would eventually become a world-class rock band.
What’s even more regrettable is that Dou Wei became obsessed with music in his later years and started to create some things that people couldn’t understand and couldn’t sing.
At first, Wan Feng didn't understand why the styles of Dou Wei's previous and later works were so different.
When he was in Black Panther, his voice was high-pitched and joyful, like the sound of nature.
After arriving in Hunan and Hong Kong, he seemed to have some self-pity in his voice. When he returned to the mainland later, I had no idea what he was singing about.
Some say he studied different musical styles.
It would be better to say that his singing reflected his different psychological journeys in different periods. He should have been the happiest when he was in Black Panther, but after he came to Xianggang, he was both happy and painful.
Rather than saying in the last episode that he found his own style, it would be better to say that he isolated himself from the world with a style that others could not understand.
Of course, everyone has his or her own way of living, and this has nothing to do with Wan Feng.
He had no intention of making music. If he had this idea, he could have signed the Black Panther band, but of course, the prerequisite was that he kept that woman as far away from him as possible.
After the song "Nothing" was sung, the young men and women who were watching the fun burst into applause.
These young people all look like they have the potential to become crazy fans.
These guys aren't wearing work clothes, so it's hard to tell which company they're from.
Wan Feng waved to the lead singer: "Come here!"
The lead singer ran up to Wan Feng with a smile on his face: "Boss Wan! You called me!"
Wan Feng thought to himself, people are starting to call him "you". Am I getting old?
"Which company are you from?"
"It's your company's car."
"Shift work?" First-line factories implement a three-shift work system.
"Um."
"Are you guys a band?"
The lead singer was a bit shy: "We just like it. A few like-minded people got together to have fun."
"You don't have all the instruments?"
“I don’t have money to buy it.”
Wan Feng thought for a moment and said, "Come to my office at one o'clock this afternoon."
After saying that, Wan Feng turned around and walked back. The lead singer and his two friends were completely confused.
Wan Feng did not go to the customs and sea department either. He returned to the office and wrote the lyrics of Bubugao.
At around one o'clock, the five guys came to Wan Feng's office.
"I have a song. Please write down the music and learn it for me in two days."
After saying that, Wan Feng sang the song "Bubugao" in its entirety.
"Boss Wan! Did you compose this song yourself? How come I haven't heard of it before?"
"Of course I did it." Wan Feng didn't blush at all.
"Mr. Wan, you are so amazing, and your voice is so good. Why don't you become the lead singer of our band?" said the lead singer in surprise.
They had never heard that the boss could sing, but this one not only could sing but also could compose music.
This is bullshit. He is the CEO of a group and wants to be the lead singer?
"Stop talking nonsense! Practice this song! It's for a commercial. Oh, and your crappy instruments won't work. You need to get better ones. And what's the name of your band?"
"South Mountain Band."
This name is quite down-to-earth.
Wan Feng thought about it and simply stood up: "Three of us will follow me."
Wan Feng drove out and took three band members to live broadcast at Hongya Department Store.
There is no specialized music store in Hongya, so the only way to buy musical instruments is to go to the department store.
What high-end things can be found in department stores? They are just makeshift items.
Wan Feng bought two guitars, a bass, a drum set, an electronic keyboard, and a set of stage sound equipment.
The total cost was 30,000 yuan.
Wan Feng shook his head and said, "Just look at the money you spend and you'll know this stuff isn't very high-end."
Wan Feng was not satisfied with the instruments, but the guys in the band were so happy that they even forgot their own names.
After bringing the instruments back to Jiangwei, Wan Feng also set up a rehearsal room for them.
A few guys set up their instruments and spent an hour finally learning the step-by-step song.
"You guys practice well, and I'll come and listen tomorrow."
Wan Feng is certainly not idle in supporting a band. If these guys practice well, they can make advertisements for the factory or shoot music tapes for VCDs without having to spend money to hire people.
