In fact, there is no shortage of resident bands in the Gun Flower Band, and the bar has a regular customer base, and business is very good every night.

The reason why the negotiation went so smoothly is that in addition to the fact that the Friday band has had a lot of performance experience in the recent period and has gained a certain reputation in the circle, the most important point is that Brother You also wants to help push it when Friday is running forward.

Compared with the previous four performances, Zhen Youcai paid more attention to it this time, specially designed and customized a promotional poster, and hung it at the door of the Gun Flower Bar a few days in advance for publicity.

You Ge also used his resources to inform the circle in advance inside and outside the circle.

In other words, in addition to fans who like Friday, there are many people who will look at Brother You's face and will go over to cheer at that time.

After everything was arranged, before the official performance, Liu Jingxin and Zhang Xun came to the Gun Flower Bar together.

Zhen Youcai had already told Liu Jingxin about the negotiation process, and Liu Jingxin and Zhang Xun both felt that they should express their gratitude to Brother You in person before the performance.

The two paid the entrance fee and walked into the door of the gun flower bar, and immediately heard the heavy metal music and felt the thirsty atmosphere.

Although Kyoto is not so hot now, and the weather is gradually getting cooler, it is still very "hot" in the Gunka Bar.

As soon as the two of them sat down at the bar, the waiter recognized them.

The waiter at the bar was a little surprised that Zhang Xun and Liu Jingxin, a pair of "enemies", sat together, but didn't ask anything, and smiled very kindly and gave each of them a bottle of beer.

"I'm in for a treat. "The waiter was still so hospitable.

Liu Jingxin smiled and thanked: "Thank you, is Brother You here?"

"Yes, in the booth over there. The waiter raised his hand to a corner.

A booth over there should belong to the exclusive position that Brother You set for himself, and every day he and a few friends will drink there, listen to songs, and talk about the mountains.

Liu Jingxin said: "Let's go and say hello to Brother You." ”

The waiter smiled and nodded, raising his hand to make a "please" gesture.

Liu Jingxin and Zhang Xun left the bar with the bottle of beer, bypassed the dance floor of the "Demons Dance", walked by the side, and came to the booth where You Ge was.

Brother You was very happy to see that it was Liu Jingxin and Zhang Xun who came, and enthusiastically pulled them to the side and sat down, and introduced the two to the friends sitting on the left and right.

Subsequently, these people took turns to toast Liu Jingxin and Zhang Xun, and even Liu Jingxin, who wanted to limit the amount of alcohol he drank, killed two or three bottles of beer in a row.

These people were a little drunk, they seemed very excited, some talked and laughed, and although the atmosphere was good, it was very noisy.

Brother You got up at this time and said to Liu Jingxin and Zhang Xun: "Go out to breathe?"

"Okay!" Liu Jingxin's purpose in coming over this time is to express his gratitude to Brother You, and it is indeed inconvenient to speak in the current environment.

So the three of them walked out of the booths, went around the stage and went backstage, and walked again through the small door in the back to the side of the street.

The night breeze is already a little cool, but the streets of Kyoto are still crowded as if it were daytime.

In Kyoto, people work so hard to survive that they are too busy to catch their breath during the day, and at night they are finally able to live back to themselves, like the legendary vampires who only dare to show their true colors when it is dark.

"You've been working hard lately, I see you've been running a lap around the country from east to west. Brother You said with a smile.

Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "Yes! I am not willing to go on like that, I always have to find a way to get out." ”

"What does it feel like?" asked Youge.

"Huh?" Zhang Xun and Liu Jingxin glanced at each other, neither of them understanding what Brother You meant.

Brother You asked again, "What is it like to perform everywhere with a band?"

Liu Jingxin said: "It's very good! We all enjoyed the process very much. ”

Brother You took out a cigarette, handed one to Zhang Xun first, and then handed one to Liu Jingxin.

"Thank you, quit. Liu Jingxin waved his hand and rejected Brother You's kindness.

Brother You smiled and nodded in understanding, then lit a cigarette for himself, inhaled deeply, exhaled a long time, and fell on the crowd wandering in the distance under the night, sighed softly, and said, "What you are doing now is what I wanted to do back then." I'm really envious of you!"

The band formed by You Ge when he was young, from the beginning of its formation to its final disbandment, tended to be self-entertaining, and they also wanted to go out, and they also wanted their voices to be heard by many people, and they also longed for their ideas to be recognized by many people.

However, they did not take that crucial step, and in the end they failed to become what they aspired to be, tearfully bidding farewell to their ideals and returning to the cold world of reality with a wound.

But even so, You Ge still has a dream, and still hopes that these younger generations around him who love music can go out and realize the ideals that their band failed to achieve.

Over the years, Brother You has come into contact with countless bands, each of which is full of vitality, even if it is a decadent song, but still full of expectations to embrace the rising sun of tomorrow.

However, those bands either lacked persistence or courage, and eventually disbanded, and even if they persevered, they still failed to take that crucial step.

It is said that rock music is very independent and does not need to be recognized by the mainstream, everyone who plays rock and roll is very arrogant, they only live in their own world, never flatter, never bow their heads, never please.

Is that really the case?

Perhaps, but this kind of thinking is firmly stuck in the necks of these people like a shackle, and they lack more and more the courage to go out.

Isn't it wrong to want more people to hear me? Is that a departure from the spirit of rock 'n' roll?

What is rock 'n' roll? You Ge actually doesn't understand it more and more.

It wasn't until Friday that Brother You suddenly understood.

In fact, the world of rock and roll does not have so many rules and regulations, and it takes more courage to dare to tear off the shackles and rush forward than to maintain the status quo with shackles;

"Brother You, in fact, Zhang Xun and I came here today to thank you in person. Liu Jingxin said in a sincere tone.

Brother You withdrew his gaze from a distance, looked at Liu Jingxin with a complicated expression, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled: "Actually, I should thank you." I really want to see how far you can go!"

Liu Jingxin said: "Brother You, do you remember? The last time we chatted here, you said that you would organize a lot of bands to come to your bar for a carnival. ”

Brother You nodded and said, "Remember, I have an organization every year. But I'm afraid it's getting harder and harder in the future, now there are fewer and fewer people playing bands, fewer and fewer people listening to rock music, old friends are scattered, and new friends are delayed, and they don't pick up!"

Liu Jingxin said as promised: "Brother You, no matter how far we go in the future, as long as you need it, we will definitely come back." ”

Brother You nodded gratefully, threw the cigarette butt to the ground and extinguished it with his feet, and wrapped his arms around Liu Jingxin and Zhang Xun's shoulders with open arms.

"Don't think about it so much, you just have to run ahead and you're done now. Go and show me what that ideal world is like!"

This is the worst of times, because most people have lost their faith and their original ideals!

This is the best of times, and it is precisely because it is terrible that people who still have ideals and believe in immortality are particularly valuable!
