Save the Bachelor of Heaven

After rock and roll came out in the mainland in the 1980s, it has not been well received by the mainstream media.

Although a large number of rock musicians sprung up like mushrooms in the 1980s and 1990s, none of them was recognized and affirmed by the mainstream media.

Even Cui Jian, the father of rock music, was banned for a while.

However, the rebelliousness and wildness inherent in rock and roll still attract a large number of teenagers, who join in wave after wave to vent their excess hormones.

The Yanjing rock circle is made up of these people.

They have almost nothing but grandiose ideals, exuberant energy, and full of anger. Forced to live in urban villages and suburbs, perform in karaoke halls, dance halls, and even open-air greenhouses, living a life like ants.

Under the stimulation of hormones, they have unrealistic dreams. The dream is to become popular like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Cui Jian, and let the world hear their roars. But they are often hit by the cruel reality.

...

Compared with these frustrated people, Xiang Nan took a different path.

He made his debut through the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and he was innately recognized by the government.

The albums released after that are also mainly folk songs and pop songs. Even if there is a small amount of rock music, it is only rock in form, but the theme is very mainstream, praising love, praising youth, positive, optimistic and inspirational, so it has always been recognized by the mainstream.

Otherwise, the approval documents for this national tour will not be approved.

And he is also very successful in his career. The cumulative sales of the three albums, excluding pirated copies, have exceeded 10 million copies. If Pirates are included, there are probably 100 million copies.

His business success has allowed him to earn a lot of money and live a very rich life. Luxury cars, villas, everything. He even has a courtyard house on the Second Ring Road of Yanjing.

Therefore, he is really not the same as those who play rock and roll.

...

"Try it." Wang Fei said with a smile, "I think you are not orthodox in your bones, not mainstream at all. You are not docile at all, and you are very arrogant. In this world, there are few people you can look up to. I I think you have a rock style."

Xiang Nan was taken aback and blinked.

He didn't expect that Wang Fei saw him quite accurately.

"Then I'll try it." He nodded.

Xiang Nan then went to the hotel to meet Zhang Wanting.

Zhang Wanting was taken aback when she saw him, whispered a few words to the man beside her, then smiled and said to Xiang Nan, "Mr. Yuan, how much do you know about rock and roll?"

Xiang Nan blinked, then smiled, "To be honest, although I have written some rock songs, I really don't know what rock is.

I think rhythm, melody, and style are just external forms, and the core of rock should be its spirit.

And the spirit of rock and roll, I don't think it is rebellious, free, angry, nihilistic, pessimistic, decadent, etc. I think the real rock and roll spirit is the word "true".

To truly express one's emotions and express one's perception of the world, this is rock and roll! "

Zhang Wanting and the man beside her were taken aback for a moment, then they all nodded with a smile and said, "How dare you say that you don't understand rock and roll, you have already made it very clear."

"Let's read this script again~" She then handed over part of the script and asked Xiang Nan to try it out.

Xiang Nan's acting skills are already good. After being trained by Yang Yuzhou, Zhang Yimou, and Huo Jianqi, and taught by Li Mingqi, Ding Jiali, and Teng Rujun, his acting skills are not perfect, but at least they are proficient and familiar.

Therefore, it is very easy to pass the level.

After discussing with the man next to her, Zhang Wanting nodded with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Yuan, thank you for your cooperation. You have performed very well. We will contact you soon."

Xiang Nan nodded.

...

After returning home, Xiang Nan talked about several film and television dramas. I also met several times with Wang Gang, Ma Weidu, Hao Jinming and other friends in the cultural and antique circles, and exchanged some collections in their hands.

During this period, Xiang Nan also invested 20 million RMB into the stock market to make money.

In the past two thousand years, the stock market in the Mainland has been booming. The Shanghai Composite Index rose from more than 1,300 points at the beginning of the new year to 2,100 points by the end of the year. The annual increase was as high as 51%. .

And there have been many bull stocks this year. For example, Yinguangsha and Century Zhongtian, which have increased by more than 400%, CSG Kekong, which has increased by more than 370%, Inspur Technology, which has increased by more than 320%...

Xiang Nan also checked the information before coming here, so he entered the market at this time to make money.

He is familiar with the changing laws of the stock market, so trading stocks at this time is really as easy as grabbing money in a bank vault.

And the reason why he wants to make money is that money is a good thing (nonsense), mainly because he wants to take the opportunity to buy the Internet.

In March 2000, the Nasdaq index dominated by technology stocks climbed to a high of 5,048 points, and the Internet economic bubble reached its highest point.

After that, the Nasdaq began to fall slightly. At that time, it did not attract people's attention, and people thought it was just a technical adjustment.

As a result, it fell from March to June, and it still continued to fall. It fell until 2002, and Nasdaq had only 1,100 points left, and two-thirds of its market value had fallen.

The market value of major Internet companies has fallen precipitously, and even closed their doors directly. The share prices of Chinese concept stocks such as Xinlang, Netease, and Souar all fell below one dollar.

Tencent, Ali, Baidu, etc. are also in trouble. From the past, which major investment banks and angel funds rushed to invest in, it has become a piece of garbage that everyone can't dodge.

Xiang Nan knows exactly this, so he wants to make more money now. When the time comes, buy the bottom of these Internet companies. In a few years, he will be a giant in the Internet field in the Mainland, a real capital predator. Happy to think about it!

...

While Xiang Nan was busy grabbing money, Zhang Wanting's "Yanjing Le and Road" crew, and Zheng Xiaolong's "Youth Bao Qingtian" crew all handed him olive branches.

Xiang Nan had a hard time making a choice.

The movie "Yanjing Music and Road" tells about the rock scene in Yanjing, which is of course interesting. But "Youth Bao Qingtian" is also quite good.

He had seen this movie back then, and it had a strong lineup, good reputation, and high ratings. Acting in this movie was very helpful to improve his nationality. To be honest, it is much better than starring in "Yanjing Music and Road".

"Yanjing Le and Road" is destined to be impossible to be released in the mainland, even if it is released in Xiangjiang, it may not cause any sensation.

Rock, in the Chinese music circle is very niche. Even the beyond band, which many people talk about, had far less record sales than the Grasshopper band, which sang pop dance music.

Not to mention Yanjing Rock, which is not familiar to the people of Xiangjiang. They watched this movie, probably just like mainland audiences watching the Indo drama, it was entirely out of a curiosity-seeking mentality.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Xiang Nan declined Zhang Wanting's invitation and chose to accept "Youth Bao Qingtian".
