ECG -Chapter 110 We Are Going to Make a Stunning Debut

Lin Hao then distributed the individual sheet music for the two songs to them one by one. Everyone took them and began studying them seriously.

Cui Gang unconsciously started humming.

After quite a while, Big Brother Gao looked at Lin Hao with reddened eyes and gave him a thumbs-up.

“Haizi, you’re amazing!”

Cui Gang was almost incoherent.

“Sounds great, really great! The lyrics are good, the melody is amazing too! Good! It’s too good! I like it!”

Lin Hao chuckled. Of course it was good. Did they even know whose songs these had been in his past life?

Next, he pulled out two more sheets and handed them to Chu Xiaomei.

Chu Xiaomei quickly took them and looked over them.

《I Am a Little Bird》, 《I Have No Faraway Place》.

She began singing them in her heart.

After Lin Hao finished distributing Chu Xiaomei’s two pieces of sheet music to everyone, he took out his own two songs. Seeing that everyone was still staring down at the scores in their hands and no one was paying attention to him, he gave a helpless smile.

“Alright, so nobody cares about me anymore, huh?”

Wu Xiaozhou looked at him with a miserable expression.

“Haizi, these are damn difficult!”

Lin Hao nodded.

“Yeah. For other people, it’s just a matter of getting familiar with them. But for you, you’ll need to put in some real effort. Luckily, we still have more than three months. It all depends on you now!”

“Of course, if you can’t handle it, I can go find your classmate Erbao. Although you two had some conflicts before, his playing skills are actually pretty good.”

“Get lost!”

Wu Xiaozhou rolled his eyes at him.

Lin Hao handed out the scores in his hands to everyone.

“Mine are the same, two songs as well: I Have Nothing to Be Ashamed Of and Don’t Break My Heart.”

Everyone lowered their heads and studied the two songs, not even looking up at him.

Lin Hao lit a cigarette and stopped talking.

He understood that these six songs had all been hugely popular in the era of his previous life. They had been sung for many years, so everyone needed some time to digest them.

The corner of Wu Xiaozhou’s mouth twitched.

Lin Hao’s two songs were even harder than the previous four, but when he sang along with the melodies in his mind, they actually sounded even better. He secretly made up his mind that he absolutely couldn’t hold Lin Hao back.

After a long while, Yan Xiaoqi was the first to raise his head. Excited, he said:

“Haizi, if we don’t become famous after this, we’d be letting these songs down!”

Lin Hao burst out laughing.

“Confident?”

Yan Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly. The others also raised their heads. Especially Fatty Meng—his face was flushed red with excitement as he muttered:

“Good, it’s so damn good!”

Lin Hao clapped his hands twice.

“Alright, since everyone thinks these six songs are fine, next you’ll have to spend most of your free time practicing your individual parts!”

The six people all nodded.

“There’s one more thing to remember: practice quietly, because we’re going to make a stunning debut!!”

Everyone started applauding, each of them full of confidence and ambition.

“Starting next week, every day from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., we’ll begin rehearsing. During the rest of the time, focus on classes and practicing your skills. We won’t let either side suffer!”

“I’ll take care of the rehearsal room and the instruments. From now on, I’ll be the captain of our band. Does anyone have any objections?”

Everyone shook their heads.

“Good!”

Lin Hao clapped his hands again and smiled.

“Next comes the most important moment!”

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They didn’t understand what else could be important. The surprises Lin Hao had brought them today were already too many.

Cui Gang said:

“Choosing the band’s name?”

Lin Hao looked at him and gave him a thumbs-up.

“As expected of our future Master Cui, you’re smart!”

Everyone burst into laughter.

“Exactly, the name. We need to come up with a great-sounding band name!” Lin Hao looked around at everyone. “Everyone, put your heads together and think of something!”

Everyone immediately started throwing out ideas.

“Call us the Seven Little Dwarfs!” Wu Xiaozhou suggested.

Everyone spat at him together.

Old Gao looked at the pack of Black Cat cigarettes in his hand. “How about calling ourselves the Black Cat Band?”

Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat. In his previous life, they were called Leopard, and he had shamelessly stolen that name for himself. Now it had turned into a cat instead. It was actually quite fitting!

Fatty Meng chuckled. “Forget the cat. Does Haozi look that cute? If you ask me, we might as well call it Black Fox. Don’t you think Haozi looks like a sly little fox?”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Black Fox? Black Fox!

Lin Hao stroked his chin, feeling that the name was actually pretty good.

Little Chu said, “Doesn’t that name sound a little too feminine?”

“Then what should we call it?” Wu Xiaozhou curled his lips. “Black Lion? Are we drinking beer here?”

Everyone burst into another round of laughter.

“I think it works!” Lin Hao made the decision. “We’ll listen to Old Meng and call it Black Fox! It’s just a name anyway!”

“Whoever has a good relationship with the seniors from the Fine Arts Department, ask them to draw us a logo. In the future, when we perform, we can make a flag, and it’ll also be useful when we release albums!”

Little Chu raised her hand. “I’ll do it!”

Yan Xiaoqi chuckled. “I know who you’re going to ask.”

Little Chu’s face first turned red, then she glanced at Lin Hao. Her expression darkened, and she quickly lowered her head.

Lin Hao noticed that Little Chu’s expression was a little unnatural. He felt that there must be something going on, but it wasn’t a good time to ask. After thinking about it, he decided to let it go.

“Alright, this matter is handed over to Little Chu! Meeting dismissed!”

Lin Hao was very satisfied. The matter he had been thinking about for so long had finally been settled. Next, there was still a lot for him to do.

First, he needed to find Fan Gang and see if he could get a classroom.

Next, he had to buy these instruments. He felt the money would be well spent! The families of those guys weren’t exactly wealthy. The only one with slightly better conditions was Fatty Meng, but even his drum set wasn’t good enough.

But asking his family to buy him another set wasn’t realistic either. He might as well pay for it himself!

Forming a rock band had been his dream in his previous life. Unfortunately, after rock music had once flourished in his past life, it quickly declined, and many rock musicians struggled between commercial interests and artistic freedom.

Back then, in order to survive, he could only give up on his dream and drift around various nightclubs performing just to make a living.

So in this life, even if he had to spend his own money, he would still make this dream come true. This little amount of money was nothing. It wouldn’t take long before he earned it back!

Old Gao stopped everyone. “I want to say a few words!”

Among the seven people, Old Gao was the oldest. Usually, everyone joked around and treated each other casually, but when it came to serious matters, they still respected him.

“Our Black Fox Band has been officially formed today, but I think we should get the unpleasant things out of the way first!”

Seeing how serious he sounded, everyone fell silent and looked at him.

“Forming the band was Lin Hao’s idea, the instruments were bought by him, and even all the songs belong to him. What I mean is, whether it’s future commercial performances or CD albums, shouldn’t Lin Hao get the biggest share of the profits?”

Yan Xiaoqi nodded. “I think what Old Gao said makes sense. Without Lin Hao, there wouldn’t be our band. How about this: no matter what kind of money it is, fifty percent goes to Lin Hao, and the rest of us split the remaining half?”

Fatty Meng shook his head. “That’s not quite right either. The lead singer is the soul of a band. Little Chu and Little Cui should also get a little more.”

When Cui Gang heard this, he immediately waved his hands repeatedly. “Come on, don’t say that. Why should I get more?”

Little Chu also disagreed, and soon the dorm room became noisy again.

Watching them argue back and forth over who should take less, Lin Hao felt deeply comforted.

The fact that they could act this way when it came to money proved that his judgment back then had been right.

Of course, they weren’t making any money yet. The real test of human nature would come on the day they actually started earning money. What they would become then was impossible to tell now.

However, he had already thought about this matter long ago. He had also gained plenty of experience in his previous life.

Lin Hao clapped his hands. “Everyone, quiet down first. If Old Gao hadn’t reminded me, I would’ve forgotten about this. Let me say a few words!”

Everyone quieted down, wanting to hear what Lin Hao had to say.
