Chapter 14: A Song for a Seventeen-Year-Old (Part I)
"I began to pay attention to the news of the music festival in early March every year, Weibo, the music section of major forums, and 12 related exchange groups have traces of my elusiveness, so to speak, this year's bagpipes in Yanjing and blueberries in the East China Sea, I am determined to get, by the way, even if I can't grab advance tickets this year, I will go to the scene to meet all kinds of scalpers for a while. ”
"It's basically confirmed that Shen Lang's happy band will make its debut in the East China Sea Blueberry, but I don't know if it's 5.1 or 5.2, squatting for follow-up news......"
"This morning, I just woke up from a dream with drooling, and my daughter-in-law suddenly leaned on my face and asked me if I wanted to go to the Youth Music Festival and go to see Yu Sheng'an, what the hell is the Youth Music Festival? Who is Yu Sheng'an?
"My wife has been giving me peace for the rest of my life for three consecutive days, and I feel that our marriage is coming to an end, please be sad~~"
……
", "Ten Years" is too good, how did you write this song?!
"I have already grabbed a ticket for the Nanhai Youth Music Festival, thanks to my wife!"
……
"Set off to the South China Sea! I may swipe the screen in the past two days, please understand, if you feel disturbed, you can block my circle of friends in advance. ”
……
"Wow, there are so many people on the scene, I saw a lot of people holding Yu Sheng'an's sign to support, has Yu Sheng'an's popularity been so popular?"
……
"Yu Sheng'an is on the stage, not surprisingly, the audience is boiling! I suspect that half of the audience here today are Yu Sheng'an fans, and my wife just screamed the name of 'Yu Sheng'an' with her milk, hehe, it seems that I have to talk to her when I go back tonight." ”
"I started singing "Today Next Year", I have to admit that the rest of my life An Typhoon is very infectious, and his singing voice is also amazing, a proper star of tomorrow, this may be the so-called grandfather enjoying food. ”
"I'm going to sing "Ten Years" next......"
"What the hell, the first sentence starts with the whole chorus???"
……
"I'm so stupid, Yu Sheng'an started with a few chorus, and then sang a few words at the end, and the whole process was sung by the audience!
……
The above text is all excerpted from the circle of friends of an ordinary white-collar worker Zhou Yunxue, as a hardcore music fan, he has to participate in at least one music festival almost every year, and after participating in the Nanhai Youth Music Festival at the end of March this year, he decided to go into the pit with his wife for the rest of his life.
He followed Yu Sheng'an's Weibo and Douyin, and began to pay attention to his news, such as his recent participation in the recording of a little-known variety show, such as his platform for a third-tier brand, such as his participation in an offline event of a cultural company......
On the whole, the notices he receives now are low-end, and they should be the cooperation he just received when Douyin became popular.
I hope that he will become more and more popular in the future and have the opportunity to take his wife to his concert once.
……
In April, spring is strong and the sun is shining outside.
Yu Sheng'an came to be interested and took two classes to the playground for class.
More than 90 people formed a large circle and surrounded the rest of their lives holding the guitar in the middle.
He talked to everyone about the beauty of music, the history of music and music-related allusions, and finally commented on a few words of the most popular singer in the entertainment industry to meet everyone's wishes.
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed in a class.
Yu Sheng'an ended a topic, and suddenly named Tang Inevitably, the sophomore (3) class in high school: "Tang Inevitably, you signed up for the singing competition in the city, have you chosen the song?"
Tang must have stood up and replied, "I chose a song, Yu Chen's "That Year's Rainy Season". ”
Yu Sheng'an beckoned to him and said, "Come up and sing it to everyone." ”
Tang must not have twisted, walked over in a square manner, took the guitar handed over by Mr. Yu, tried the strings a little, and then began to play and sing to himself:
"In the rainy season that year, you wore jeans and rode a bicycle like a winged ......"
Tang's voice is very energetic, and when he sings, he exudes an irreplaceable youthful atmosphere.
I can't help but sigh: it's good to be young.
"If you choose the direction, you will face the sun and grow unrestrained~~~"
Soon the song was sung, and Yu Sheng'an took the lead in applauding him.
"Sing very well, make a small opinion, this song can be straight to the heart, don't use too much skill, your voice is enough to control this song. After the applause stopped, Yu Sheng'an nodded.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Yu. Don must be honest and honest, and then return to his place.
Yu Sheng'an was about to use the topic to play and tell everyone about the natural way of music, when Cheng Nan, the leader of class 2, suddenly said loudly: "Teacher Yu will sing us a song!"
As a result, there was a response.
"Teacher Yu, let's have one!"
"Tang must have already sung a song, Teacher Yu's turn for you!"
"We all applauded, and asked Mr. Yu to give you a song "Ten Years"!"
……
After Yu Sheng'an became famous, he had long expected this day, smiled and stretched out his hands to suppress everyone's noise, and said: "I won't sing "Next Year's Today" and "Ten Years", I have sung it too many times, but since someone mentioned that Tang must sing a song, I must sing a song, then I can't play tricks, so I will sing a song with the same theme, "Seventeen-year-old Rainy Season". ”
The students applauded.
Yu Sheng'an played the guitar lightly and sang casually and naturally:
When I was a child
There are many jasmine flowers in front of the door
It has a light fragrance
As I grew up
Those jasmine flowers in front of the door
It has slowly withered and no longer sprouts
What kind of mood
What kind of age
What kind of pleasure
What kind of crying
The rainy season at the age of seventeen
We share the same expectations
They also used to hug each other tightly
The rainy season at the age of seventeen
Reminiscing about the bits and pieces of childhood
But I found that the growth was slowly approaching
……
As soon as Yu Sheng'an opened his mouth and sang a few words, he instantly captured the hearts of the students in the audience, the brisk melody with a hint of nostalgia, and the beautiful and intoxicating lyrics easily hit the hearts of these teenagers and girls.
In particular, the chorus directly points out the age stage of "the rainy season at the age of seventeen", which makes the students full of a sense of substitution.
The afternoon sun and warm breeze blew, and a wonderful, warm atmosphere spread in the field with Yu Sheng'an's singing.
More than 90 students at the scene, more than ninety percent of them are 17 years old this year, which is the age of youth and ignorance, and they have every reason to believe that the song sung by Mr. Yu was written for them, and it is likely to be improvised!
The classmates looked at Yu Sheng'an, and the expressions on their faces gradually adored.
"Teacher Yu is really amazing, just sing it casually, it can be so good!"
After a while, the students of the two classes returned to the class humming the lyrics of "In the rainy season of the seventeenth year, we have common expectations".
After class, Tang must have found Yu Sheng'an privately, hoping to use the new song he had in class to compete.
Of course, Yu Sheng'an would not object, and agreed to rehearse for him.
Speaking of rehearsals, shortly after the Qingming Festival, "Huaxia Good Cantonese" will start recording the top 100 competition, that is, the elimination round of 100 into 30.
Before the official recording, it is necessary to rehearse as well.
In fact, the schedule of 100 into 30 is not very difficult for Yu Sheng'an, and the song that Mu Yushi reported to him is "Today Next Year", which is tantamount to cheating openly.
Because no matter from which point of view, whether it is the degree of singing, the quality of itself, or the wind review, this song has an absolute advantage, plus his current popularity and traffic, the program team will not let him be eliminated casually.
Therefore, as long as he plays normally, he will basically advance steadily.
He has to think about the next 30 points competition and the knockout round after that.
According to the competition system, if he wants to go all the way to the finals, in addition to "Today Next Year", he must prepare at least 5 other Cantonese songs, including two or three proposition songs.
It's actually not a small difficulty.
If you don't have a singer background, this is really a big challenge.
In the evening, he went for a run in the playground as usual.
I just ran around, and suddenly saw a figure sitting under the basketball hoop of the basketball court next to me, lonely and a little pitiful.
He was curious for a moment, jogged over, and found that the figure was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, probably a sophomore or junior in high school.
The girl sat under the basketball hoop, staring blankly at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking.
That expression moved with peace of mind for the rest of my life.
suddenly remembered the incident that happened in his junior year of high school: a boy in the next class was repeatedly reprimanded by teachers and parents because he failed to do well in the monthly exam, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the river.
And at noon on the day he jumped into the river, Yu Sheng'an met him once at the staircase, and he didn't care about his state at the time.
One of the things that people are most afraid of is being entangled in a vicious thought, and then the more you think about it, the more you can't figure it out, until you get into the horns.
Yu Sheng'an once regretted that he didn't notice the boy's strangeness in time, but now that he encountered a similar scene again, of course he couldn't sit idly by.
Thinking of this, he walked over to the girl.
