On the chair, a man named Zhao Le was wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a tattoo on his arm on the cuffs, and he was talking to a middle-aged man in a casual suit and glasses next to him.

Through preliminary introduction, this middle-aged man's name is Xu Zhongyuan, who is also a famous editor of the well-known "Audio-visual" magazine in China at this time, and he is also a member of the music circle. The two are basically the guest of honor, and then the group of friends and classmates around Luo Zhixian are not obvious on the surface, but they actually have a lot of origins.

Wang Jiajun, nicknamed "Monkey", was once a classmate of his Rongjia Foreign Chinese Middle School, and now attends Rongjia High School, which has its own advantages and advantages from Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School, which can be described as the top of the private and public peaks. Of course, Rongjia Foreign Chinese School generally cannot compete with the old Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School in terms of key rate, so it takes the bilingual teaching route and is in line with international standards. After taking the international high school curriculum and passing the A-level exam, Wang Jiajun, who has the mother of the head of the vocal music department of the Sichuan Yin headquarters, aims to be the conservatory of music of the University of Southern California in the United States.

The young man next to him wearing a pair of leather pants and big scalp boots, with lazy eyebrows, is called Lu Sinian, who has the nickname of "Lu Shao" in several old music bars in Rongcheng. He himself is in the composition department of Sichuan Yin, but he is recently preparing to take the postgraduate examination of applied economics of Rongcheng University of Finance and Economics, which is known as one of the four major financial colleges in China, and take the route of taking care of his family's business.

And the girl who is holding a guitar, has a thin body, but still wears ripped jeans, and has a bewitching makeup is called Tian Yingqing, who is studying in the modern instrumental music department of Sichuan Yin.

In addition, several others are similar, all of them are related to family and music, and they all have their own backgrounds.

It's no wonder that at a gathering like today, Liu Jin will also come to accompany him.

Everyone chatted with each other, listening to each other's vaguely revealed identities, such as Liu Ying, Yu Xiao, ordinary children who grew up in the yard of Fulong Company were slightly speechless when they heard it. All of a sudden, it seemed that he had broken into a circle at a different level from them, and some Gao Chuan looked up.

Yang Xia can accept it, Luo Zhixian's family is very good in Rongcheng, and he himself is also very good, and the orchestra he participated in has also performed at the Rongcheng Grand Theater, so it seems reasonable for Luo Zhixian to know these people, and there is a psychological construction.

Cheng Ran and the others arrived and sat down, in the eyes of the people in the audience, they basically belonged to Luo Zhixian's godsister and a group of friends, who came to pay tribute to Zhao Le, and they themselves did not belong to this circle, and the family was not linked, unlike Luo Zhixian's friends, it can be related to it to some extent, for example, the girl named Tian Yingqing mentioned before, Wang Jiajun said, "Heh! Tian Yingqing, your father should have reported to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year, it is said that he almost passed the final trial, and there are not many qualified people in Sichuan......

And Tian Yingqing said, "There are more monks and less porridge, how can it be so easy, the armed police, the general government, the maritime administration, and the railway...... All military regions want to compete for that stage place, each showing their powers, and when the turn comes, my dad has also lost some luck with the people above who speak for him...... "Although it is ultimately wrong with the stage that the people of the whole country want to watch, but those who are qualified to apply for the review and participate, the whole country can count them on their fingers, and a folk singer of Zhao Le's level is also unattainable."

The background of each other's situation is gradually reflected in this kind of conversation.

As the atmosphere in front of the table progressed, it was natural that Cheng Ran, a small group of people, would not be noticed at all.

Of course, in the crowd at this moment, the most aura is none other than Zhao Le. Zhao Le's own experience gives him his own aura, plus he is better in the southwest, after all, he is famous, and he can go around in the white and black ways, everyone listens to Zhao Le talk about those things in today's music scene, and from time to time Xu Zhongyuan will also interject to add, but they all give Zhao Le a halo.

On the way, there were people who kept entering their field, and Cheng Ran's group was completely "outsider", all of them were local or Rongcheng people who were engaged in music and bands, and when they heard that Zhao Le was coming to visit, and the bureau came to have a drink with Zhao Le, and then went to catch the next venue. Or just to meet Zhao Le, sit down and join in the chat.

As the atmosphere heated up, coupled with the fact that someone at the wine table next door recognized Zhao Le and came to clink glasses and hand over wine, Zhao Le was almost the stars.

Xu Zhongyuan, the famous editor of "Audio-Video", stretched out five fingers, "The year before last, you Zhao Le's first album "Pursuit" was signed to Guangzhou Xinrui, I was not optimistic at the time, the company's publicity and distribution were too bad, otherwise your album would not have only sold more than 100,000 sales...... If it were an SVT that attaches great importance to this piece, Shangbu Auburn, I can guarantee that it will be at least fifty! You Zhao Le should have caught fire a long time ago......"

"After all, I know that many of the so-called singers now are actually not many people with professional training like you, and many of them who are not strong in their own quality are still standing on those stages, I am optimistic about you, and those chairs in the future will definitely have you Zhao Le!"

Zhao Le was not originally called this name, his real name is Zhao Yingjie, a native of Wuchuan County, Shanhai, and went to the south after graduating from Chuanyin Shanhai College, from the earliest "Pursuit" to last year's "Gone with the Wind", so far the two albums have accumulated less than 150,000 sales.

There is no lack of flattery in Xu Zhongyuan's words, but anyway, on an occasion like today, no matter how many good things are said, it is not bad, and this kind of compliment has always been almost the norm in the circle of cultural people.

Xu Zhongyuan said that Zhao Le graduated from Chuanyin Shanhai here, and he was honored to return to his hometown, and everyone talked about it here, Cheng Ran thought that he would come anyway, thinking that Qin Xizhen was famous in Shanhai College, maybe Zhao Le still knew him, so he interjected and asked, "Qin Xizhen of Chuanyin Shanhai Academy, I don't know if Teacher Zhao Le knows?"

Sure enough, when Cheng Ran mentioned Qin Xizhen, Zhao Le squinted, as if his conversation with people was disturbed, and then he had some memories.

Then his gaze fell on the child whom he had met from the beginning, and who had never seen him again, and said, "...... Last year, I went to the academy to give a lecture, and there seemed to be such a girl who accompanied me with a second concert and gave me a start. Why, you know?"

Cheng Ran nodded, "It's a friend." ”

Zhao Le smiled, "My hands and feet are quite sharp, next time I go to the conservatory, I will ask her to give me a hand, and I can talk to the academy and take care of her." ”

The main thing is that Cheng Ran talked about Qin Xizhen. Zhao Le is still a distinguished professor here in Chuanyin Shanhai after all, and sometimes he will participate in this kind of back-to-school activity, which ordinary people can't remember, and obviously it was Qin Xizhen's appearance and performance at that time that gave him a deep impression.

It's just that when Zhao Le said this, it seems that Cheng Ran has some intention of taking care of him.

Wang Jiajun, who was beside Luo Zhixian, laughed "Heh!" The sarcasm in that tone could not be concealed. At this time, the people from Rongcheng next to Luo Zhixian looked at Cheng Ran with a kind of contempt.

Cheng Ran said in his heart, "Okay!", Qin Xizhen, who was still good in his impression, turned out to be just a handshake for others......

It turns out that you are out of Chuanyin Shanhai College when you move a hamster, and you are also a scumbag......

......

......

Wang Jiajun's voice is still quite harsh, this is actually his mantra, but whenever he encounters something that he doesn't think of, or disdains himself, his tone will float out with a frivolous "Heh!"

Chatting between this group of people, his habit is nothing, and people who are familiar with him are naturally used to it, but at this time, in the face of Cheng Ran, a group of people who seem to him to be somewhat obstructive to Yang Xia's side, this voice is a little harsh at this time.

Yu Xiao, Liu Ying's face and ears were red.

Yang Xia looked at Cheng Ran from the side, a little annoyed why Cheng Ran brought up Qin Xizhen, she herself was a little sensitive to this name. Secondly, she was also a little worried that Cheng Ran was unhappy, she didn't know why these friends around her brother didn't have a good expression when they saw Cheng Ran, but now she has almost figured it out. Coupled with the fact that Cheng Ran is now in a relationship with Qin Xi Zhen, he instantly feels inferior.

At this time, Yang Xia can't openly say that he wants to leave, so that Luo Zhi will not be able to get off the stage first.

She didn't have a good impression of Luo Zhixian's friends for a while, as if as soon as Cheng Ran opened his mouth, they were in the invincible position of Yangchun and Baixue, and Cheng Ran immediately got off the Riba people.

But fortunately, Cheng Ran doesn't seem to care about this, and he is a broken can anyway.

Liu Jin, who was the first to lose face here because of Xie Feibai, for some reason, showed a smile at the corner of his mouth at this time.

After the incident in Dingsheng Song City, the information about Cheng Ran would be more or less told to his ears, and it was not surprising on the whole, but now it seems that he has confirmed his judgment, maybe he and Xie Feibai were classmates before, and there is such a special layer of feelings there.

This Cheng Ran is not at a high level......

Luo Zhi looked at Cheng Ran first, and the trace of hesitation on Yang Xia's face did not escape his gaze, he thought about it, and changed the topic with a smile, "Teacher Zhao Le is here to participate in the Shanhai Music Festival this time, this time it is this battle, are you already ready to show your new song on this?"

When it came to the Shanhai Music Festival, everyone was inexplicably excited. They are all from the cultural circle, why did they come to Shanhai this time, in fact, the highlight is still in this music festival. Not to mention Zhao Le, as far as they know, well-known record companies, film and television entertainment companies in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, some musicians, music critics, composers and related people have all formulated itineraries to come to Shanhai. Some domestic underground orchestras, underground bands in the Beijing-Guangzhou-Shanghai cultural circle, and original singers are also preparing to enter the venue. In this event, the influence was spread in advance.

Xu Zhongyuan lifted his glasses, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The reason why this time is so popular and concerned is actually to take advantage of the mountains and seas to carry out the international tourism festival, plus the government level to create this original music festival festival, how can it not attract the attention of the circle, many people think that this is the first precedent in China 'oodstock (Woodstock)' music festival." ”

Seeing that everyone was waiting, Zhao Le smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of this music festival, I have to say that at that time, in the wave of anti-war, civil rights and counterculture movements in the United States in the sixties and seventies, the Woodstock music festival has undoubtedly become one of the most iconic symbols...... More than 400,000 people poured into the county under the slogan "Peace, Anti-War, Fraternity, Equality", and two days of torrential rain turned the entire farm into a refugee camp. But in fact, it was this catastrophe that gave the festival its most glorious stroke, with everyone in order and no chaos in this kingdom that had only 72 hours left. It's a utopia made up of music, incomparably harmonious......"

"At that time, the anti-war revolutionary slogan of 'make love, don't fight' resounded throughout the venue......" Zhao Lemeiyu was tall, and it was when he said that everyone listened attentively.

Maybe at this time, I heard more or less "Woodstock", and even regarded this as a temple activity for hippies and rock musicians, but many people still don't know much about this event, there was a documentary in the 70s, but it was only a record of the picture, and for the overall observation of the entire music festival, many documents did not actually come to China. Most of them are translated by the people involved, and almost all of them are a version.

That's how anti-war this event is, how utopian, and how beautiful it can't go back.

Zhao Le said these things at this time, all to show off his knowledge.

“...... Many couples go back to the days of Adam and Eve by making love in public and even in public, in a way of returning to the basics to express their disdain and anger at the U.S. government's war policy. This event is unique, in 94, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival, the Americans held the Woodstock Festival again, but unfortunately, it did not achieve the expected effect, and the anti-war spirit of 25 years ago can never be replicated......"

In fact, Zhao Le came back to participate this time, and it was also because of this that the 30th anniversary of Woodstock in 1999 will be launched next year, and this original music festival at the Shanhai International Tourism Festival is just right in time, which is immediately eye-catching. That's why it will be called the first Woodstock in China, and if this music festival is to be held successfully, there may be more to come, but in the future of this kind of history, this music festival will definitely not be avoided, because this is indeed the first time.

Therefore, many people in the music industry are also gathering on the stage, and record entertainment companies are also following suit.

As long as he Zhao Le makes good use of his local fame and connections, he will be able to stand out on this, and his future fame will be glorious and rich, and it is unlimited.

Speaking of which, Zhao Le had clearly seen that some of Tian Yingqing and several other girls who were engaged in music were still immersed in what he was talking about, but when his eyes wandered, he saw Cheng Ran's expression.

Zhao Le can be regarded as having rich experience, and he is also unique in knowing people and seeing people, Cheng Ran's expression with a faint smile does not have the eyes of the people around him who are strongly attracted by the content, but a polite smile.

Zhao Le is a lion in the field at this time, and his aura is ruled by him, and Cheng Ran's smile, in his opinion, is perfunctory.

In an environment where everyone follows their own, such an abrupt situation suddenly appears, Zhao Le inevitably feels a little uncomfortable.

He said directly to Cheng Ran, "Heh, I'm sorry, I'm talking about Woodstock, it's not a circle, ordinary people may not know, maybe I'm too boring, right?"

All of a sudden, many pairs of eyes stared at Cheng Ran.

Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "No, no, no ......"

Zhao Le was stunned, "Isn't that, what's wrong with what I said?"

But in fact, from the era when Cheng Ran came, there was a big explosion of information, and there was actually a lot of detailed information about these, so now when I listen to Zhao Le, I don't think so. Of course, he didn't plan to say it, but Zhao Le asked him at this time, and Cheng Ran felt that it seemed that it was better to say a few words, so as not to hold back his heart and feel uncomfortable.

When Wang Jiajun said "heh!" again, he looked at it with a sarcastic look.

Yu Xiao secretly gave Cheng Ran a look, and Yang Xia saw that Zhao Le was a little turned his face now, and when he wanted to say something to bring the topic over, Cheng Ran spoke.

"I actually have a different idea, in fact, in my opinion, it is a farce of American young people collectively "drunk", and there is no need to elevate it to a high level. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Le's face, who regarded the concert as a rock and roll hall festival at this time, changed greatly.

And Cheng Ran didn't seem to see anything, and his voice spoke in an orderly and peaceful manner.

"One of the spirits of this gathering is 'anti-war,' but the irony is that without the American army coming to the rescue, parachuting things into the scene, and sending medical teams, the whole festival could have turned into a tragedy. It's like a group of irresponsible children who are clamoring to run away from home, but if they really run away from home, they will freeze to death in the wilderness in a few days. ”

"Ninety percent of the people used drugs at that party, and all of them were lying in the climax and psychedelia of drug addiction, so it was called the 'most peaceful party', resulting in only two casualties in the so-called 'miracle'. ”

"The reason why it took place after a gap of 25 years was because of the mess at the end of the festival, which put a huge burden on the locals, and because of the absurdity of the party, shortly after the festival, the New York state government passed a law specifically prohibiting mass gatherings. The farm was sprinkled with chicken manure to prevent the hippies from coming to commemorate it. In fact, throughout the '70s, only a handful of Americans would have thought of going to the Yasg Farm to reminisce about the time, and many times gave up because there were no signposts and no place to gather. ”

"Alcoholism, drug abuse, promiscuity, this is anti-war? This is love and peace? It's like when you were young, you always felt like you were 'Ultraman', and then rushed to the big truck in pursuit of freedom and romance. If there is no father from the side at this time, today next year will be the death day. ”

So I say it's a lot like an adult recalling his drunken "feat" when he was young, just an indulgence in the name of freedom, and either he can't remember anything, or he laughs it off, and no one really takes it seriously. ”

So Paul Kanter's quote to summarize that era is brilliant: If you remember anything about that era, then you weren't really there. ”
