Liu Jingxin is very satisfied with this new job, although he has temporarily left his favorite rock and roll, and although he does not have the support of the band behind him, he can at least have enough income to solve his urgent needs. The most important thing is that he can also sing every day and play the guitar every day.

He had a little insomnia that night, and he thought about it a lot, and he fell asleep at about three o'clock in the morning, and when he woke up, it was almost noon.

Thinking that he had already confirmed the job, he didn't have time to say thank you to Fang Zhichao, so he came to Xinjiekou again and walked into the D-Fly piano store.

There were no customers at the piano shop at this time, and Fang Zhichao was fiddling with his new guitar with his head down.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Fang Zhichao raised his head, saw that it was Liu Jingxin, hurriedly put down the guitar, got up and asked with a smile: "How is it?

Liu Jingxin nodded and said, "It's good, Mr. Sun is good, and the guests over there are also very friendly." ”

Fang Zhichao patted Liu Jingxin on the shoulder and said, "Brother is good, I didn't embarrass me." Sun Guomin called me yesterday to thank me, and I am very satisfied with you, I really can't find fault with you at all. ”

Liu Jingxin scratched his head with an embarrassed smile and said, "Brother Chao, when do you have time, let's have some wine." ”

Fang Zhichao looked at the time and said, "Right now, anyway, there is no class today, and there is no one in the store, so stay and stay." ”

At that moment, the two left Xinjiekou, found a small shop and sat down, and ordered a case of beer and a few stir-fried dishes.

At first, the two were just chatting about gossip in the circle, talking about music, and chatting about the development and current situation of some bands at home and abroad, but with a few glasses of wine, the two finally talked about their own things.

"Are you really willing to disband the band like this? I think Zhang Xun is quite unwilling, and today he is still asking people who bought your piano everywhere, saying that he wants to buy you the piano back. Fang Zhichao asked.

Liu Jingxin took a hard puff of the cigarette, exhaled the cigarette vigorously, shook his head with a wry smile, and said nothing.

Fang Zhichao sighed, took out a cigarette and lowered his head to light it, and took a deep breath like Liu Jingxin. He looked at the smoke and his eyes wandered, recalling his past. He smiled faintly and said, "I suddenly remembered the previous lead singer of our band, he is a bit like you, but there are many differences. ”

Liu Jingxin looked up at Fang Zhichao suspiciously: "By the way, Brother Chao, I heard that you have also played in a band before." You're very good at your skills and you're quite famous in the circle, so why don't you play in a band?"

Fang Zhichao sighed and said: "It's not that I'm forced by life! At that time, I was younger than you now, a few of us hairy boys got together, got a few broken guitars, picked up a broken bass, got a drum kit, and wanted to play a band as soon as my head was hot, and I naively wanted to be a band like Beyond." Looking back now, it's really young and frivolous. ”

China is not only the rock circle, all the free musicians living environment is not very good, many people want to make high-end music on the one hand, but also jealous and disgusted with those popular saliva songs, although various domestic music talent shows emerge in endlessly, but there are only a handful of people who can really come out, and the probability of 1 in 10,000 is less than 1 in 10,000.

There is a popular saying in the circle: "If you want to play music, save money first." ”

It is not a long-term solution to generate electricity for love, so more and more musicians are finally forced to give up their favorite music careers and enter the bottom of society, doing the hardest work, earning the most meager income, and dreaming the best dreams with regrets that cannot be released.

"How is the rest of your band doing?" asked Liu Jingxin.

Fang Zhichao took a puff of cigarette harder and sighed: " Our bass player now sells insurance, and his income is not bad; our drummer has an installation team, runs the construction site every day, and drank together last time, he said that he doesn't want to play drums again in his life, and when he closes his eyes, his head is full of all kinds of sounds in the construction site, so that he doesn't know what rhythm is now; and our rhythm guitarist, I haven't been in touch for a long time, it is said that he is selling clothes, a few years ago, in the warm winter, this kid got into a bunch of down jackets, lost a lot of money, and now he is hiding debts everywhere. In the whole band, and still in this circle, only me and our lead singer are left. ”

"Your lead singer is still doing music?" asked Liu Jingxin in surprise.

Fang Zhichao nodded and said: "Yes, he is still persistent, he participates in various talent shows every year, and he has not made any famous names yet." I spent money to make an album before, saying that it wasn't to make money, but I wanted to verify whether my music was really rubbish. ”

"What happened later?" asked Liu Jingxin.

Fang Zhichao shook his head with a wry smile, did not speak again, but extinguished the cigarette butt and drank a glass of beer by himself.

In this era, market-oriented, being able to be appreciated by most people is the only way to accumulate an audience, to be able to monetize, and to make music with money. A work that no one appreciates, no matter how hard you write it, in the end no one listens to it, it can only be garbage.

Almost all musicians hate saliva songs, but saliva songs are not so easy to write. Even if you are not afraid of being ridiculed by your peers, you can write it out, whether it can be popular in the end, it depends on God's face, after all, the current trend of popularity has become too fast, R&B has become popular in the past few years, EDM and hip-hop have been popular in the past two years, and maybe there will be popular ballads next year, no one can be sure.

"Respectfully, cherish your current life, maybe one day, you will have a reason to give up. ”

This was the last thing Fang Zhichao said before the two separated.

On the way back, Liu Jingxin was reminiscing about Fang Zhichao's words.

If it weren't for that system, maybe he would have given up by now. But since fate favored him and gave him a new opportunity, he must firmly seize this opportunity and never let go!

The faces of Zhang Xun and others appeared in Liu Jingxin's mind one after another, and he clenched his fists and secretly vowed: Lao Tzu's disbanded band will one day be regrouped!

Brothers, I'm sorry! It's my incompetence that I can't protect what we cherish the most. No matter where you are now and in the future, please wait for me to return!

Because he drank too much wine, Liu Jingxin felt groggy in his head, and when he returned to the basement, he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon. He glanced at the time, jumped out of bed in shock, and after a quick wash, he rushed out of the basement with his guitar on his back, and when he came to the coffee shop near the Xidan business circle, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

To Liu Jingxin's surprise, as soon as he walked into the café, he found that the seats inside were already full, in addition to those familiar faces yesterday, there were many new faces, but everyone was turning their heads to look at him without exception.

Luo Sihui saw that Liu Jingxin had finally arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You are here, the guests have been waiting for a long time, and they have been asking when you will arrive." ”

"Uh......" Liu Jingxin didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly, and then walked quickly in the direction of the small stage.

At this moment, a nice voice said, "Waiter, order a song!"

Liu Jingxin turned his head to look when he heard the sound, and found that the person who ordered the song turned out to be the girl in the black dress who ordered the song yesterday.
