Music, it's all about music. Without any conversation, without any nonsense, without any breaks, Lan Li just stood on the stage and performed nine songs in a row for nearly forty minutes. It's not a fan meeting, it's not a commercial show, it's just a simple concert, completely wandering in the music and soaring freely.

After another song was performed, there was another thunderous applause from the audience, and the waves crashed against the battered pioneer village, which was tortured and tormented on this night, but enjoyed it.

This time, Lan Li did not continue to sing uninterruptedly, but exhaled lightly, stretched out his hand, took the water cup handed by Nathan, and took a big sip, his dry and burning throat was like a dry desert, frantically absorbing water, and all 36,000 pores on his body were opened, which was refreshing and refreshing.

It's a completely new experience, a little similar to a performance in a pioneer village, but a little different, a little like a concert performance, but with a little difference. This awakened memories of Broadway and London's West End. The small stage, the shining spotlights, and the zero-distance audience just complete the connection between the stage and the audience with the performance, and become a link between each other's hearts.

"Excuse me, may I ask a question?" Just as Lan Li was drinking, an abrupt voice sounded under the stage, and in an instant, everyone looked at it in unison, and the noise gradually calmed down, in the limited space of the pioneer village, even without a microphone, his voice was still clear and bright.

Lan Li smiled and said teasingly, "I've been avoiding such links, but now I've been caught." With that, he nodded, shrugged, agreed, took another sip of water, and then put down his glass and looked at the source of the sound to show his respect.

"Why did you record this album?" Timsey finally couldn't contain his excitement and asked the biggest question, "We all know that this is an album that can't be sold." Even if you spend money on publicity, it is not destined to be recognized by the market. Sorry, please forgive me for my faux pas. ”

It is indeed rude to say so directly that the singer's album will definitely hit the street, but Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth with a smile and said that he didn't care.

After receiving encouragement, Timsey continued, "I mean, even with so many people gathered today, but, perhaps, that's all. The mainstream market doesn't perceive the album as good, and the mainstream market doesn't recognize the album as good. Even if a few veteran music lovers or music critics give it recognition, it is destined to be an album that cannot be widely disseminated. ”

Timsey is not in the middle of a downfall, but in his heart. On the one hand, he hopes that more and more excellent music will appear, not a commodity, but real music, but on the other hand, the social reality is constantly bringing blows, and the living space of dreams is getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly, "Don Quixote" was discovered, and while he was happy, he began to panic again. That kind of mood of suffering from gains and losses can only be tasted if you are really in it.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Lan Li.

Lan Li brushed his hair that had fallen down to the back, and the forty-minute performance made him sweat profusely, and even his hair became wet, "I think this can be answered with another question: why do we still try when we know we will fail?"

A rhetorical question made everyone at the scene fall silent, this is a philosophical question: how many people are willing to try even if they know that they will fail? Just like in a sports competition, how many people are willing to do their best to fight even though they know that they will not be able to win the championship?

"I thought, maybe I'm looking forward to the existence of one, even if it's just one, that after the album comes out, there will be a person who can understand the connotation of the melody, the sincerity of the song, and the fact that the ending is a failure, but still go on unswervingly. Lan Li always had a smile on his lips, and his eyes glanced into the corner, where George, Stanley, Neil and the others were standing.

He was lucky that he met more than one.

"Excuse me, what's your favorite song on the album?" In the silence, someone raised his hand to ask again, which was originally just an expression of Timsey's true feelings under the surging heart, but now, it obviously detonated the curiosity of others present.

Lan Li asked unhurriedly, "Can you talk about your choice first?"

"'Old pine'. The other replied without hesitation, and then George whistled in agreement. Surprisingly, the scene immediately remembered a few whistles again and responded one after another.

"'The Beast'. Lan Li did not pause and gave the answer directly.

Generally speaking, singers are bound to be asked this question during the promotion period, and the singer's answer is always the title song. On the one hand, it is for publicity, and on the other hand, because the quality of the other tracks on the album is uneven, and often the title song is the best choice. Of course, for a singer-songwriter, it's like ten fingers, and you can't make a choice.

Lan Li's answer was so crisp and neat that the audience blurted out, "Why?"

Lan Li chuckled, "So we've arrived, a lonely place to which we can't go back." Cast beauty, cast crown. He didn't answer directly, but pronounced the lyrics.

I wrote this song because of Chris Hemsworth, who passed by for a short time, so that he really understood the contradiction and struggle between dreams and reality, I liked this song because of Heather Cross, the dazzling light on this girl's body, which made him ashamed of himself, and he could only clench his fists and move forward resolutely; he fell in love with this song because of George Slander, his persistence, his madness, his forgetfulness, became a beacon for his perseverance, and he dreamed of one day being able to reach the other side of the vast and lonely land.

Even if you become a beast, you will not hesitate to do it.

Music is really interesting, isn't it? As a creator, it tastes different and breeds new insights in those who listen to it. This is also one of the greatest charms of art.

"Young Master, when you were in 'The Ellen Show' before, it only took you a few minutes to create 'Your Bones', is this true? Or is it an editing of a TV show?"

"Huh. Lan Li smiled directly, "I can understand that this is a compliment to me?Neil, this is the childcare you specially found, right?" A teasing sentence made the scene laugh, "For many people, it is not an easy task to complete the creation of a song in a few minutes, but in fact, it is not that difficult. ”

Lan Li picked up the guitar again, "In the past, in the 60s, complicated and fancy arrangements were popular, and the rock songs of those years were very complicated, but after entering the 90s, the arrangements began to gradually become simpler, thus forming the current creative system. Generally speaking, you only need four chords to play any pop song, I mean, after the 90s. ”

"Are you serious?" The scene was full of doubts, they didn't care whether it was Lan Li Hall on the stage or not, everyone raised questions, Neil was still afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and shouted, "Show it, show it! I challenge you to do it!" At this time, the scene was really chaotic, and many people whistled and coaxed.

Timsey opened his mouth, in fact, the original chords of the melody "Your Bones" are really not too complicated, but the real essence of this song is in the lyrics. It is a modern narrative poem, using metaphor, personification, and metaphor to integrate life and death, in which the artistic conception is bold and magnificent, but it is integrated with the melody. That's the best part.

It may not be difficult to create such lyrics, after all, this is not writing poetry, but it is completed in just a few minutes, but it is the accumulation and precipitation of a person's knowledge, cultural connotation and family upbringing. It's not easy.

Timsey was more curious about Lan Li's background, but now, with ease, Lan Li blurred the focus - apparently, people still prefer something with such a gimmick. Admittedly, Timothy was also a little curious: four chords?

"Katy Perry's 'fireworks'!" Ed couldn't help but be the first to shout and order a song, choosing the hottest song on the Billboard right now, and it's also a dance song.

Lan Li glanced at Ed, laughed, and quickly switched four chords, "Just these four, these four are enough." 'Fireworks,' right? How do you sing the lyrics?"

Lan Li recalled it seriously, and then began to play, "Because you are fireworks, show everyone your value, let everyone cheer for you, when you soar in the sky." "Simple chords, Lan Li slightly changed the rhythm, not the style of folk songs, but still retains the original pop tune of "fireworks", but without the electronic accompaniment of the original song, less grandiose, and more chic.

Many people at the scene hummed along, mixed with exclamations and laughter, and some people didn't believe it and shouted, "Beyoncé!"

"Which one?" Lan Li stopped the chord in his hand and thought about it seriously, "'Single-Ladies'......?" ”

"Michael Jackson?" said Timsey, straight to the punch. "'Beat-It. ”

"This song is from the eighties, right?" Lan Li's eyes flashed with a sly light, he just said that it was after the nineties, but he didn't refuse, but looked down at the strings, "What's the melody like?"

Timsey's eyes widened as he watched Lan Li press his fingertips on the pillow, and then a miracle was born: four chords, just four chords, one of the greatest rock songs in the history of music, burst out with a different charm under the guitar chords, and Lan Li hummed loudly, "So avoid! Ado! You'd better run away!"
