In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

"I know this band. They lip-synced and played the guitar when they first performed on stage."

Hong Xia's tone became a little more serious. Lip-syncing and fake playing are much more serious problems than performance mistakes.

The latter can at most be said to be an attitude problem of looking down on fans, but the former is a particularly serious issue of principle that can completely destroy a thriving band.

"I heard through the grapevine that the agency forced them to lip-sync and fake the piano."

Chen Xinghua nodded. "Although I don't know if this was forced by the agency or if they took the initiative."

"I just know that no matter what the situation is, Yili will never be able to face such pressure."

"Whether it's the firm itself or the other members pressing it, Ichiri will definitely raise the white flag faster than the Parisians."

Hongxia's history level was above the passing line, so she quickly understood what Chen Xinghua meant.

You're saying that Pochi-chan gave in quickly, right?

"Besides, I think Yili is a socially anxious person who would put the future of his band in the hands of those suspicious band members wearing masks after being fooled by them."

Chen Xinghua complained from the bottom of his heart.

105

Chapter 105 I believe in ending the band.

"Pochi-chan wouldn't agree to such a suspicious request, would she?"

Hong Xia imagined the scene that Chen Xinghua described, where a guy wearing a suspicious lace mask was attracted by Bochi-chan's guitar skills and wanted to take her back to be the guitarist slave in the band.

This request seems extremely suspicious... Pochi-chan probably won't agree to it...right?

At least if it's a little more formal and less suspicious, Pochi-chan will agree, right?

Hongxia began to feel uncertain.

"So if she hadn't joined a good band earlier, having her money swindled out by a shady band would have been the best outcome."

Chen Xinghua sighed deeply.

"I almost forgot to tell the truth..."

He suddenly sat up straight and slapped his thigh hard, making a crisp sound.

"The truth is, I think you're great on drums, Ryo's bass is great, and Kita works really hard."

Why is it that when it comes to Kita, all that’s left is hard work? Hongxia silently complained in her heart.

Then Hong Xia complained in her heart about her previous complaints.

For Xiduo, a guitar beginner, hard work is one of the best adjectives.

You can't say that she plays the guitar particularly well. Xiao Xiduo has only learned the guitar for a few days.

"It's only a matter of time before the band grows to the point where they can perform on the same stage with Yili."

Chen Xinghua turned his head and looked at the girl band performing on the stage...why is it still a girl band?

I've been here for a few years now, but I always feel like the bands I see are all girl bands.

"I believe in your wrist strength, precision, endurance, and growth potential as a drummer."

Hong Xia is undoubtedly a 4A-level drummer. His wrist strength, precision, endurance and growth potential have all reached top levels.

Because Hongxia can play out the drum music that Lian Liang created, which is as crazy as that of Shiina Riki.

This is enough to prove Hong Xia's level... By the way, Liang, you really don't intend to let your good friend Hong Xia relax a bit, you are putting pressure on her like crazy.

"Even when I saw the crazy drum music composed by Senior Liang, I chose to beat the drums instead of hitting Senior Liang's butt."

"Not really."

Hongxia complained, "Ryouya put a lot of pressure on his bass."

Although if it were an ordinary high school drummer, he would suspect that the arranger had a grudge against him and wanted to work him to death so that he could inherit the potato chips hidden in the cupboard.

"I also believe in your leadership as the captain of the closing band."

Chen Xinghua nodded and said, "...I was just complaining about some of the songs that Senior Liang composed."

What Hongxia lacks now is just a little confidence, some stage experience, and a lot of practice.

As for why a lot of practice is still needed, it is because Hongxia’s growth potential is still A.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I still believe in Liang-senpai's bass skills. She already has professional-level bass skills."

Although Chen Xinghua always likes to tell jokes about the bass behind others' backs, the band really can't do without the bass.

The bass is the soul of the band, although the soul is something that ordinary people cannot see.

But if there is really a lack of soul, even ordinary people can see that something is wrong in the band, although it is still difficult to describe what is missing, such as the bass, which can only be said to be missing something.

"I also believe in Kita's efforts."

Kita is really working hard to learn guitar.

During lunch break, she was learning guitar with Yili.

After school in the afternoon, she came to the STARRY recording studio early to practice guitar.

After finishing the band practice and returning home, she continued to practice guitar at home and learn the most basic music theory with Teacher Xiangzi.

"I believe in you, and I believe in you, Hongxia."

"That's too much."

Hongxia lifted up her slightly red cheeks. Fortunately, the dim light covered the faint blush on her face.

Have you said that too much? Chen Xinghua also followed Hong Xia's example and lifted his cheek.

Compared with the strength of the ending band, Chen Xinghua pays more attention to the atmosphere of the ending band.

He felt that it would be better for Goto Ichiri to be a shut-in rather than be admitted to a mental hospital or a crematorium.

Who knows what the bands out there are like? Maybe they’re even worse than Deng’s band.

The biggest problem of Deng's band is nothing more than the emotional entanglement between girls, but the biggest problem of commercial bands is much more serious than this.

Because these bands are inevitably involved in too many interests.

Once interests are involved, things tend to develop in an extreme direction.

For example, the band Pastel*Palettes, perhaps their lip-syncing scandal was not their own will, but was forced upon them by their agency.

But isn't that even more terrifying?

Today the agency can force the band to lip-sync for profit, and tomorrow it can exploit Goto Ichiri as a guitarist for profit, and then kick her out after exploiting her completely.

So Chen Xinghua didn't want Yili to join any famous band or famous agency. No one knew what they would do to Yili in secret.

The truth he just said, "recognizing the strength of the Ending band," is actually not the absolute truth, but a relative lie, while the lie he said before, "recognizing the atmosphere of the Ending band," is the relative truth.

But what Hong Xia needed more was recognition of the band's strength. Chen Xinghua was keenly aware of this, so he reversed the truth and lies he was about to say.

The band Hongxia wants to form is a professional band with a band feel, not an ordinary high school band.

So if you want to praise it, you should focus on praising the band's strength rather than the atmosphere.

After all, if you only play the atmosphere, it would be easy for people to think that this is a band similar to the light music club in the school.

This is definitely not the kind of band Hong Xia wants to form.

"I don't think you're Pochi-chan's childhood friend, but more like her parent."

Hongxia complained in a low voice that there should be very few people who would worry about the future of their childhood sweethearts as much as Xinghua.

"……maybe."

Chen Xinghua leaned over and lay on the bar.

"Hong Xia, what are your plans for starting a band? Are you going to perform at the Tokyo Dome first? Or at the Budokan first?"

"Everyone has different motivations for wanting to play in a band. One is to become a rock star."

I did it to help Ichiri, Kita did it to chase after his seniors, and Ryo, what was it for?

Chen Xinghua shook his head and connected his thoughts that had just been interrupted by Liang.

Ain plays in a band to show off, Deng plays in a band to bring everyone together, and what is the purpose of Lenai, Sushi, and Lixi playing in a band?

Chen Xinghua looked at Hong Xia.

So why do you play in a band?

"Let's keep this matter secret for now."

Hongxia put her index finger on her lips and made a hushing gesture.

106

Chapter 106 There is no positive feedback at all.

The city falls into a rare state of silence at night, allowing the busy residents to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of the day and think about the problems accumulated in the past under the cover of night.

Chen Xinghua lay on the bed completely relaxed, looking quietly at the ceiling above his head, but his thoughts had drifted elsewhere.

Although everyone in the band joined the band for different reasons, they now have a common goal, which is to at least run the band well and put on the next live show of the band.

Although the Deng band is similar to the End band in that the members have different reasons for joining the band, they do not have the same common goal as the End band.

Not to mention a common goal, it would be good enough if their targets didn't conflict with each other.

Based on the information Chen Xinghua has learned so far, there are at least two groups of targets in Deng's band who will stab each other in the back.

Riki's goal and Aine's goal.

...and Lixi's goal and Deng's goal.

The mobile phone held high by Chen Xinghua confirmed his thoughts.

The chats between Aiyin and him usually concerned daily campus life, as well as light-hearted topics like beauty bloggers and music idols.

Li Xi's chats with him were usually about things like "Can you play this music?" and "She's going to modify this music."

Almost all the topics are related to music, there is no topic other than music at all.

It's strange, why didn't Lixi ask why she was unconscious that day, and what role I played that day. Isn't she curious at all?

Could it be that she wants to give me a big one?

As for the chat records between Deng and him, they generally talked about biological knowledge related to penguins.

Occasionally, Deng would send some pictures of the stones she had collected.

……

The next day, Chen Xinghua, the backup keyboardist for Deng's unnamed band, came to the agreed practice room as usual.

But he did not set up his keyboard stand as soon as he landed, as he did before, and just acted as a support keyboard player without any emotions.

"Light, I think now's the time to have a band meeting or something?"

Chen Xinghua immediately grasped the core of the entire band and said, "Let's discuss important issues concerning the band."

"Huh, what are you going to do?"

Shiina Riki just glanced at Chen Xinghua for a moment, then shifted his gaze elsewhere as if he had been electrocuted.

It's becoming more and more alike...Toyokawa Shoko No. 2.

I'm also a keyboard player, and I also want to solve a problem that has been bothering me for a long time...

damn it……

Nagasaki Suyo fiddled with her fingers, feeling a surge of nostalgia in her heart.

If Xiangzi had not quit "CRYCHIC", she would probably stand where that guy is now and say to everyone, it's time for us to hold a band meeting.

Chihaya Aine held the emerald green guitar in her hand and focused all her attention on Chen Xinghua.

Yao Lenai sat on the chair, swinging her legs constantly, muttering words like "Matcha Parfait" and "Live" in a low voice, and then took another bite of the Matcha Parfait that Chen Xinghua had just bought.

"why?"

Deng looked at Chen Xinghua.
