Chapter 639: A Different Childhood

"Speaking of "Singer"," Ke Jun looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Yao, you have hit the advertisement, and you have been resting for a while, now it's time to show us your real skills and come to a show, right?"

"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, and then spread his hands again, "But my suitcase is full of gifts, and there is only one backpack, and I didn't bring musical instruments here today." ”

"It's okay, he has!" Luo Chongwen pointed at Qiu Zhihao.

"I still have an electronic organ and a guitar here, which one do you want?" asked Qiu Zhihao.

"You can take it out, he will!" Ke Jun said to Qiu Zhihao.

"Okay!" Qiu Zhihao got up and went upstairs to take down his electronic organ and acoustic guitar, and asked Xiao Yaodao, "Which one do you want?"

"Guitar!" Xiao Yao got up and took the acoustic guitar from Qiu Zhihao's hand, sat down on the carpet again, reached out and plucked a few strings lightly, and tried the sound.

"What do you want to hear?" Xiao Yao asked everyone after trying the sound, holding the guitar.

"Can you still order songs?" Zhou Wenpei said to Xiao Yao, who was holding the guitar.

"Of course you can!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "As long as I will!"

"Chengdu," Zhou Wenpei said, "I like that song very much, and Xia Lan is from Rongcheng, so she should like it too." ”

"Just sing "Chengdu", I like it!" Xia Lan clapped her hands in agreement.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded, plucked the strings, and played the prelude to the song.

"With me, take a walk on the streets of Chengdu, oh oh ~ until, all the lights go out, and you won't stay~ You will hold my sleeves, I will put my hands in my trouser pockets, walk to the end of Yulin Road, and sit at the door of the tavern~"

It's been almost two years since this song came out, and two of you are still familiar with it. When Xiao Yao sang the chorus, Xia Lan and Ke Jun couldn't help but sing along in a whisper. However, the two are not so familiar with the lyrics, they only sang the chorus part, and by the time of the second main song, they didn't sing it again.

Xia Lan also made her debut in the draft that year, and she was also a singer in the early days, and she sang very well. In the second main song, Xiao Yao looked at Ke Jun and gestured, and Ke Jun immediately nodded knowingly.

By the time of the second chorus, Xiao Yao and Ke Jun stopped singing, and only Xiao Yao's guitar and Xia Lan's singing were left on the scene. Xia Lan was stunned by this situation, but when she saw Xiao Yao and Ke Jun's encouraging eyes, she continued to sing.

After the second chorus, the song transitions with the first two lines of the chorus, followed by a full chorus, and finally ends again with the first two lines of the chorus. Xiao Yao sang the two transitional sentences by himself, and when the third full chorus was repeated, Xia Lan's singing voice rose again, and Xiao Yao lowered his voice to help her sing the harmony.

After the third full chorus, Xiao Yao and Xia Lan's singing stopped, and Xiao Yao's guitar hand also stopped, and everyone thought the song was over. In the second half of the song, the cooperation between Xiao Yao and Xia Lan is still quite tacit and exciting, just when everyone stretched out their hands to applaud the two, Xiao Yao played the guitar and sang the last two lines of the song.

"Take a walk with me~ on the streets of Chengdu, oh oh ~ until, all the lights are out, and we don't stay~"

In the last two sentences, Xiao Yao imitated the children's voice with the "milky taste" and sang, and even the expressions and movements when singing were replaced with the shaking of the head of a child.

"Haha~"

As soon as this voice came out, everyone who was originally full of admiration and intoxication instantly broke their work, and they all laughed and lay on the table or carpet.

"What the hell are these last two sentences?!" Ke Jun shouted as he patted the carpet.

"I'm being brought back to the tavern on Yulin Road by this song, and I'm out of the play in an instant!" Xia Lan also said with a smile.

"That's how the original version of this song is," Xiao Yao said with an innocent face, "The last two sentences were originally children's voices." ”

"Okay!" After laughing, Ke Jun still took the lead in applauding, "Although the last one made us very dramatic, the performance of this song is still very exciting!"

"Great!" the others applauded.

"Thank you," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, then raised his hands and applauded in Xia Lan's direction, "Sister Lan sings very well!"

"No, no," Xia Lan waved her hand and said, "It's still Xiao Yao who sings well, and the main thing is that Xiao Yao plays the guitar well!"

"Did these two start blowing each other in business?" said Ke Jun with a smile.

"No, I'm serious, Xiao Yao plays the guitar really well. Xia Lan emphasized, and then sighed, "Actually, I feel that learning a musical instrument is very difficult. I started learning the violin when I was seven years old, but I didn't learn it until junior high school, and I couldn't keep going, and I felt that it was too difficult. ”

"I started learning the violin at the age of five, and I started learning the piano again at the age of seven!" Qiu Zhihao interjected.

"Then did your parents force you to practice the piano when you were a child?" Xia Lan asked.

"Yes. Qiu Zhihao nodded, "There should be all of them, right?"

"When we were kids, we still listened to that kind of tape, you know?" Xia Lan suddenly asked.

"Know!" Luo Chongwen, Ke Jun, Zhou Wenpei and Xiao Yao nodded together.

"You know?" Seeing Xiao Yao nodding as well, Xia Lan said in surprise, "You should have already started listening to CDs when you were sensible, right?"

"I have a lot of tapes at home, and my dad has a lot of tapes!" Xiao Yao explained.

"Oh!" Xia Lan nodded, and continued, "I'll tell you how my mother forced me to practice the piano when I was a child. When I was in elementary school, my mother stipulated that I had to practice the violin for two hours every afternoon during the summer vacation. At that time, my parents had to go out to work, and I was alone at home, and my mother was afraid that I would not practice well at home, so she secretly went out to play, so she asked me to use a tape recorder to record the sound of practicing. She asked me to fill both sides of a blank tape and then when they came back from work she would listen to it and check if I was practicing properly!"

"This method is good!" Luo Chongwen said with a smile, "The two sides of that tape seem to add up to exactly two hours!"

"Wow, your mother's method is also amazing!" Ke Jun also smiled.

"When you were a child, how did your parents force you to practice the piano?" Luo Chongwen asked Qiu Zhihao again, "Is there any interesting thing?"

"My mom didn't have a job, so she supervised me at home. Qiu Zhihao said, "Actually, my mother doesn't know music, as long as she hears me playing the violin." I was practicing in my room, and she was outside doing her own thing, but the door to my room had to be open so that she could hear me practicing. As long as there was no sound coming out of my room, she would come in and tell me not to be lazy. ”

"Then you should use Xia Lan's mother's method to deal with your mother. Luo Chongwen said with a smile, "You record the sound of your own piano practice and put it in your room." When your mother hears a sound, she won't come in to check, and you'll be lazy. ”

"Huh?" Qiu Zhihao was speechless for a while.

"That's a good idea!" the others laughed.

"This method should be useless to Xiao Yao. Ke Jun said, "Xiao Yao's musical instrument should have been learned from his father." Whether it's practicing or being lazy and playing music must have been heard all at once. ”

"Then how did your father force you to learn a musical instrument?" Xia Lan asked Xiao Yao.

"My dad didn't force me much," Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "There is no daily practice time, nor supervision, I practice by myself." ”

"Are you so self-conscious?" said Ke Jun.

"Because I want to learn the instrument myself. Xiao Yao said. "I started learning musical instruments when I was less than four years old. In the beginning, in addition to learning the keyboard and piano, I also wanted to learn the guitar. But at that time, I was small and the guitar was too big for me to learn, so my dad said he would teach me when I was older. Later, I watched TV and saw the ukulele, and I thought that this instrument was very similar to the guitar, and it was small enough to be able to hold it, so I told my dad to learn it. My dad hadn't played a ukulele before that, and when he heard that I was going to learn, he bought it back and taught it to teach me again. He's like this, and I'm embarrassed not to practice well. ”

"Knowing these things when I was so young is really not an ordinary sensible. Ke Jun commented with a smile.

"What about Wen Pei, what were you like when you were a child?" Luo Chongwen asked Zhou Wenpei.

"I, I was a wild child when I was a child, and I didn't seem to do anything other than play!" Zhou Wenpei said with a smile, "When I was a child, I was admitted to the art troupe to learn to dance, but I learned and trained everything in the troupe." When I got home, my family didn't care much about me, and they didn't ask me to learn a musical instrument or take other interest classes or anything, as soon as I got home, I herded sheep, played around with a group of children, climbed trees, and did everything, and I had fights with boys when I was a child!"

"Really?" Ke Jun said in surprise, "Now that you are such a lady, I can't imagine it at all!"

"How good!" Xia Lan lay on the table and looked at Zhou Wenpei with envy, "Your childhood must be much happier than the three of us who have practiced the piano since childhood!"

"Sister Lan, you said that you would be fine with yourself, don't take me with you!" Xiao Yao smiled, "My childhood was also very happy, and I didn't do much to climb trees and dig birds' eggs." ”

"How is that possible?" Xia Lan straightened up and looked at Xiao Yaodao, "I heard that when you were a child, you not only learned musical instruments, but also calligraphy, painting and martial arts, how can you still have time to go out and play crazy?

"Before I went to elementary school, I used to live with my grandfather, who lived in the old hutong of Yanjing. I didn't go to kindergarten when I was a child, when other children went to kindergarten, I was learning calligraphy and painting, and when other children were out of school, I would go out and play crazy. Xiao Yao smiled.

"The year before last, there was an issue of "Singer" where he took the film crew to shoot in the old alley where Mr. Xiao lived, and he was very familiar with the people in the alley," Ke Jun said, "When he participated in "Sound Immersion", he also told Mr. Li Zhenyi that he was a playboy in the alley, and it looks like this!"

"Alas," Xia Lan sighed as she lay on the table again, "This person is really angry compared to people!"

"You see that you stimulated Xia Lan," Ke Jun said to Xiao Yao, "Hurry up and make up for it with another song!"

"Okay, let's sing a new song this time. Xiao Yao smiled.

"New song?" everyone's eyes lit up, Xia Lan also sat up again, and asked expectantly, "Is it the kind that hasn't been released yet?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "The song is called "Childhood." Don't you think that you didn't have a very happy time when you were a child, and you have some regrets? Then you can feel the childhood of ordinary people from this song. ”

"Are you trying to stimulate me again?" said Xia Lan's glare.

"Hehe~" Everyone laughed.

"Okay!" After laughing, Ke Jun raised his head and reported to the camera, "Now Xiao Yao will bring you his original new song "Childhood"! The audience is blessed, they met the premiere of Xiao Yao's new song!"

After Ke Jun announced the curtain, Xiao Yao plucked the strings of the guitar and played the prelude to the song.

The fresh acoustic guitar sound sounded, and the joyful atmosphere of the scene quickly dissipated, and the expression on Xia Lan's face, who was still staring at Xiao Yao just now, also softened.

"Chasing the sunset barefoot next to the railway~ Glass beads and iron box hero card~ Playing with rubber bands and hiding under the stone bridge~ Grandma and sitting on the courtyard dam with shoes~ Ginkgo biloba in front of the iron gate~ There can be a house in the thatched house~ Playing and laughing on the road after school~ The flowing water between the ridges is lala~"

After a prelude, Xiao Yao's soft singing voice rang out.

The melody in the previous section sounds relatively simple, and the accompaniment is the two repetitions of the four guitar chords in the prelude, but this folk-style melody with Xiao Yao's soft singing voice still feels good.

What's more, the lyrics of this song are very graphic. The rhythm of the song is not fast, and Xiao Yao's words are very clear. As soon as this section was sung, everyone felt like a few childhood pictures appeared in front of them, and they were immediately attracted.

"We are growing up day by day~ The white rabbit sticky teeth in the sweet dream~ I also fantasize about the fairy scientist~ The mud stain stick figure on the white wall~ We grow up day by day~ The old sycamore sprouts in four seasons~ There are treasures and towers in the sandpile~ The bench builds a home~"

The accompaniment of the second section of the song has not changed much, but Xiao Yao's singing tone has improved a little, and it seems to have entered the chorus part of the song. In addition to the description at the beginning of the first half of the paragraph, the next three lines are very graphic lyrics, which further remind everyone of their childhood.

"That's good!" From here, Luo Chongwen already felt the difference of this song, and couldn't help but nod his head and sigh lightly.

"The days are always too slow to talk~ The leaves are full of ponds and move to a new house~ Twenty-inch color TV leather sofa~ Five and a half big windmill animation~ After dinner, enjoy the cool starry night~ Fireflies, breeze, crescent moon~ Adults talk about words they don't understand~ Ghosts and monsters are hiding under the bed~"

The third stanza of the song is identical to the first stanza in tune, but with eight completely different lyrics and eight different images. Especially when they heard the fourth sentence, everyone else couldn't help but smile and look at Ke Jun, who looked at Xiao Yao with complicated eyes.

Xiao Yao sensed Ke Jun's gaze, nodded with a smile, and continued to sing.

"We are growing up day by day~ There is rain in my memory~ I finished the summer vacation in the sound of cicadas~ We should cut our hair again in the new school year~ We will grow up day by day~ We also began to look forward to and change~ I thought how great I was~ I wrote a poem and didn't dare to hand it to her~"

When this paragraph was sung, everyone's eyes had already left Ke Jun, and they recalled the picture of their childhood with the song.

"We grew up day by day~ Listening to the tape and encountering under the banyan tree~ White shirt, dusk acoustic guitar~ Young casual cheeks~

After the second chorus, Xiao Yao took another half of the chorus, and the four sentences that followed were still different lyrics and different pictures.

"Whew~Woohoo~"

After that, Xiao Yao came to hum again. Although there are no lyrics, everyone seems to be still in the mood of this song, reminiscing about the childhood pictures just recalled.

"I thought I was so great ~ I wrote a poem and didn't dare to hand it to her~"

After humming, the next two sentences basically repeat the last two lines of the second chorus, but the "was" is changed to "also". This is the first time that the lyrics are similar to the same in the song, but the difference is only one word, and it also gives people a sense of different moods and emotions.

"Woo~ Little poem didn't dare to hand it to her~"

Finally, after another sentence with similar lyrics but different feelings, Xiao Yao played the last few notes, ending the performance of the whole song.

"Good!" After the last note dissipated, everyone present applauded.

"The lyrics are so well written," Luo Chongwen first commented, "and when I listen to it, I am full of childhood memories!"

"Yes, a lot of them are memories of our post-80s!" Zhou Wenpei nodded.

"I'm a post-70s generation who listens to it with a lot of memories!" Ke Jun also said with red eyes.

"You are a person in the late nineties and close to the post-zeros, and the song "Childhood" written by you can still resonate with the post-70s and post-80s, allowing us to also recall the time when we were children," Xia Lan shook her head and sighed, "Your childhood is really different!"
