Chapter 18: Different Time and Space, Different Results
The summer vacation of the sophomore year of high school was only one month, and now three weeks have passed, and there is only one week left. On this day, Liu Yun came to a newly opened video store. He came here to fulfill his promise to his cousin Li Siyue.
As soon as he stepped into the store, he didn't go shopping, and walked directly to the front desk, "Boss, let's have a picture of Jay Chou's "Octave Space". ”
The boss was a young man who was looking at a magazine, and after listening to Liu Yun's words, he raised his head and looked at him like an alien.
Liu Yun was stared at by him like this, he was very unaccustomed to it, and involuntarily touched his cheek, "Is it because I have flowers on my face, or am I too handsome?"
So he said again, "I buy the album, "Octave Space", Jay Chou, the one in Taiwan." The expression was very serious.
The boss yawned, "It seems that you really don't know, I thought you were playing with me just now." ”
Liu Yun was full of questions, "What do you mean?"
The boss put down the magazine in his hand and said, "It's long out of stock, Jay Chou's new album needs to be pre-ordered to be bought." It stands to reason that you should know this. Oh, by the way, you should be buying an album for the first time, hehe, is it for your girlfriend?"
Liu Yun shook his head and didn't give an explanation. A genuine album costs 60 yuan, and he said in his heart that it is really expensive, and his pocket money is only 90 yuan a month. No wonder piracy is rampant these days, if you are not a hardcore fan, who would be so frugal to buy genuine copies.
After he paid the money, the boss issued a receipt and told him to come back in a week to pick up the goods. Liu Yun was about to leave, when a girl walked in at the door, and the two happened to meet each other.
"Su Yuhan. Liu Yun recognized her at a glance.
Su Yuhan also recognized Liu Yun, she stopped and greeted: "What a coincidence, you are also here." ”
Liu Yun was very happy in her heart, during the holiday period, she could meet her when she came to the video store by herself, is there really a fate between the two of them.
"Isn't there anything you fancy here?" Su Yuhan saw that Liu Yun was empty-handed, thinking that he had not bought anything.
Liu Yun showed a wry smile, "Why didn't you buy it?" The money has been paid, but if you don't have the goods, you have to book it first, and you will pick it up next week." "He bought a pass.
Sure enough, Su Yuhan showed curiosity, "What kind of goods are so sought-after, you have to pay first and then get the goods." ”
Liu Yun didn't continue to speak, but took out the receipt and handed it to her.
Su Yuhan took the receipt and sighed lightly, "No wonder, it turned out to be Jay Chou's new album "Octave Space", which is naturally out of stock." In a seller's market, you can only pay upfront. ”
"yes. Liu Yun nodded and rubbed his nose slightly.
Su Yuhan returned the receipt to Liu Yun, "Do you like Jay Chou very much, the price of this genuine album is not cheap, 60 yuan a piece." She has the impression that even if those students like to listen to songs, they basically buy pirated copies, and rarely spend so much to buy genuine copies.
Liu Yun has heard several songs in this album, but they are all from the previous life, and if you think about it carefully, it has been more than ten years since now. As for whether you like it or not, I can't say it myself, at least not the kind of hardcore fan who is willing to spend a lot of money for a star.
Liu Yun avoided this topic, "My cousin did well in the high school entrance examination this year, and was admitted to our Donghai No. 2 Middle School, and it is also a key class. She asked me for a reward, which was this new album. I, as an elder brother, naturally can't refuse. ”
Su Yuhan nodded and said, "This is natural, your brother is still very competent." ”
The two chatted while strolling through the video store. Liu Yun thought of Su Yuhan's words just now, and asked tentatively, "You also like Jay Chou?"
Su Yuhan stopped, looked at him, shook his head, and nodded again. Liu Yun was a little big-headed, and he didn't understand what Su Yuhan's actions meant. Su Yuhan looked at Liu Yun's puzzled face, smiled lightly, and said, "I don't like it, but I appreciate his musical talent." ”
She gave her own reasons, this singer has created a new world in the Chinese music scene and improved the status of singer-songwriters. In the former Chinese music scene, too many pop hits bought songs directly from RB next door. She believes that starting with Jay Chou, original songs will be popular, and the Chinese music scene will also be led by these original singers.
After Liu Yun heard this, he was a little surprised in his heart. More than ten years later, the Internet is highly developed, and many people know a lot of unknown information from the Internet, such as some golden songs are imported from RB and directly fill in the lyrics, such as knowing that an RB female singer is named Miyuki Nakajima, and someone once ridiculed her for feeding half of the kings and queens of Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, in this era of relatively poor information, these insights are enough to show that this girl's musical accomplishment is not low.
It's still 2002, and Jay Chou has only released three albums. His novel tune and singing method are still a little uncomfortable in the eyes of Chinese people who are accustomed to listening to the beautiful sound. Even among young people who are more receptive to new things, there are mixed reviews.
Ready-made examples, such as his cousin Li Siyue likes it very much, while his cousin Liu Chao scoffs.
Liu Yun's soul comes from 2018 and has prophetic messages for the next sixteen years. He understood the status of Jay Chou's three words in the Chinese music scene in that era. At that time, it was commented on the Internet that this singer represented many post-80s and post-90s youth. Liu Yun still remembers that next year, he will release his fourth album "Ye Huimei", one of which is a song that is Dongfengpo, which officially opened a precedent for Chinese style, which is also a crucial breakthrough in his singer career.
After a while, Su Yuhan chose something, which was a few tapes, including Western music, Chinese classical music, and some folk songs.
Liu Yun watched from the sidelines, "I think your knowledge of music must be very good." ”
After Su Yuhan finished paying, he said casually, "It's average, I usually like knowledge, so I learned a little more." ”
"Do you know staves?" Liu Yun suddenly asked stupidly.
"That's just the basics, of course I will. Su Yuhan replied with a smile.
Liu Yun feels that he has a good sense of musicality, he sang in KTV in his previous life, and he rarely went out of tune, but he didn't know much about music expertise such as staves, "I think you can go to be a singer, maybe one day you can become a big star." ”
"I don't think so, because I don't like exposing myself to the spotlight. Su Yuhan shook his head.
The two walked out of the video store side by side and said goodbye to each other. Su Yuhan waved his hand, "Then I'll see you in the new semester, remember not to forget the book you borrowed with my student card." ”
"Don't worry, you won't forget. Liu Yun looked at Su Yuhan's back until she disappeared from his sight.
"Young man, that girl is far away, and you are still in a daze. The owner yawned again, and his voice came lazily.
Liu Yun smiled, didn't reply to the boss's words, and left directly.
In his previous life, Liu Yun only knew that there was such a girl in the liberal arts class next door, and he didn't know what her name was, which university she went to after the college entrance examination, and where she worked after graduation. In this life, he wanted to know her, knew her name, knew that she liked music, and talked to her twice.
He hoped in his heart that different time and space would have different results.
