"I don't understand what you mean. Liu Jingxin frowned.

The man reluctantly swept the entire room with his gaze, and finally landed on Liu Jingxin's face, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and then didn't say anything, turned around and walked outside.

Liu Jingxin stood in the empty room in a daze, looked at the bunch of keys in his hand, and then looked at the direction in which the person left, hesitated for a moment, and quickly chased out.

He came to the noisy street, anxiously looked left and right, and at last found the man, and trotted after him.

"Wait a minute. Liu Jingxin chased after the man.

The other party stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Jingxin, his face was a loss that could not be concealed, the smoky makeup on the eye circles had been spent, and there was foggy water vapor in the eye sockets, as if he had just cried.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Liu Jingxin with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. The man said, turning his head and moving on.

Liu Jingxin hurriedly followed, he really couldn't understand why this person gave him the rehearsal room for free for no reason. Judging from this person's performance before and after, there must be some story behind this. Liu Jingxin is not the kind of person who likes to accept favors plainly, he wants to ask everything clearly.

However, judging from this person's current state, even if Liu Jingxin keeps asking, it is impossible to ask a result, and maybe it will backfire and force people to take back the key.

So, Liu Jingxin changed his way and followed the man and asked, "I don't know what your name is." ”

"Conan Peng. The other party replied.

Liu Jingxin said: "I haven't thanked you yet, if it's convenient, I'll invite you to a drink." ”

Peng Conan stopped when he heard this, turned his head to look at Liu Jingxin, and hesitated for a while before nodding and saying, "Yes." ”

Liu Jingxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party agreed to drink with him, there must be a conversation, so he immediately took Peng Conan to find a nearby restaurant.

This neighborhood is densely populated with bars and KTVs, so there are many roadside shops.

The two of them sat down at a random food stall and ordered a few side dishes and a case of beer.

Because Peng Conan didn't speak or talk, the two were very restrained at first and didn't talk much.

What Liu Jingxin didn't expect was that Peng Conan began to drink alone without waiting for the food to come up, and after a few bottles of beer, he actually took off his nose ring and threw it into the trash can next to him, lowered his head and sobbed quietly and rubbed his hairstyle.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

Liu Jingxin looked at it on the side, and he wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to start, so he could only accompany him silently.

Peng Conan cried for a while, got up and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

After about ten minutes, Peng Conan returned to his position and sat down a little drunk, his hair had been pressed down with water, wet as if he had just washed his hair, the smoky makeup on his face had been washed off, and the side of his cheeks was still stained with scraps of paper. At this time, Liu Jingxin noticed that Peng Conan's nose was not pierced, so the nose ring he had lost before should just be an ornament prepared to match the performance.

This time there was no need for Liu Jingxin to speak, Peng Conan raised his neck and took a big sip of beer, put the bottle on the table with a "bang", and took the initiative to speak: "Do you think there is a way out for playing in a band in this environment?"

Liu Jingxin was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Over the years, countless rock bands have disbanded, with regret and unwillingness.

In the entire Chinese music scene, there are several singers who survive through good opportunities every year, but almost none of the rock bands really enter the public eye and are accepted. There are even many first-line singers who have formed rock bands in private, and the songs they produce are not as popular as the EPs released by the singers alone.

It's a bit hard to understand, no matter which instrument you play well, even if it's hard to get through, you won't be able to eat or drink. But if a few people get together to form a band and do original rock music together, it's easy to starve to death.

Playing rock 'n' roll may have a way out, but playing in a band seems to be really hard to get ahead.

It's not that Liu Jingxin doesn't know the answer to Peng Conan's question, he just doesn't want to say it.

Peng Conan shook his head with a wry smile, raised his neck and took a big sip of wine, and said with a bitter smile: "You should have guessed it, I also play in a band." Playing bands is originally niche, and our band is punk style, and there is no living environment in China at all. Our band has been formed for a year and a half, the drummer has gone back to his son to take care of his father's business as a small boss, the guitarist has gone back to his hometown to become a civil servant, and now I am the only one left in the band, and I only found out when I called them during rehearsals yesterday. Isn't it ridiculous? The band broke up, and I was the last one to know!"

Liu Jingxin looked at Peng Conan in front of him, and what came to his mind was the picture given to him by Zhang Xun's paddle, he felt a sour nose, and he felt empathy for Peng Conan's heart.

Peng Conan sighed and continued: "Actually, I don't blame them, I also know that if we continue to play like this, it will be impossible to make a name for ourselves." I've seen it and know it's time to give up. It's just that I'm really unwilling! Brother, tell me, is rock 'n' roll dead?"

Liu Jingxin raised his head violently, stared firmly at Peng Conan's eyes, and said in a resolute tone: "Rock and roll is not dead, and it cannot only live in the hearts of us people, I believe that it will recast its former glory and become mainstream music again, not just a utopia for a few people." ”

Peng Conan must have drunk too much, and he must have been suppressed for too long, otherwise it would be impossible to say such a thing.

If rock 'n' roll is dead, why is there a chorus every time Beyond's song is played? Why is it that Mayday's concerts are hard to sell? Why are there still screams and cheers from the audience when bands come on stage on many occasions? Why do so many people still show up and go crazy about rock 'n' roll at the annual Midi Festival?

Liu Jingxin firmly believes that everyone must have a soul in their body who is willing to go crazy for rock and roll, but most people's rock souls have not been awakened, or have fallen asleep. Then, someone has to stand up and wake up those rock souls loudly.

That's right, Liu Jingxin wants to be that person!

Peng Conan spit out the things that pressed in his heart, and he must have felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and as soon as the conversation box was opened, there was a tendency to be unable to contain it.

"I don't really care how much the rehearsal room can be rented, as long as there is a band rehearsing in it all the time, I feel like my rock 'n' roll dream can go on forever. The most important thing is that I don't charge you rent, and I can go to your rehearsals like a friend and play rock music again. By the way, I still have a wish that has not been fulfilled, as long as you are here, maybe my wish will have a chance to come true. ”

Liu Jingxin said: "What kind of wish? We can help, we will help. ”

As soon as the voice fell, the system prompt suddenly sounded, and the third time-limited task was triggered.
