Chapter Ninety-Three: The Past Is Bright as a Diamond, but Rusty
For different types of music, people enjoy it in different ways.
Listening to folk songs is suitable for listening to the singer singing quietly.
Listening to jazz seems to be about writhing along with the music.
And when you listen to rock 'n' roll, you have to get up and down.
At the moment when Lin Xuan's guitar slammed into the stage, the audience screamed and cheered.
The scene of rock music is like this, and it seems that it is not too much to make any move in the emotional level, and Rock Star should be like a warrior in people's minds, sharp and unscrupulous.
Since the birth of rock music in the West, so many great bands, especially heavy metal bands, have performed on the scene, and it is common to smash the piano.
However, there has never been a music program based on rock music in China, and some music programs, even if there are rock bands participating, are very restrained, and they do not have a strong impact at all when performing at music festivals.
Most of the stars on the screen in this year speak very conservatively, very tactful, everyone is well-dressed, smiling, and try not to express their opinions on things, not easily stand in line, have no attitude of their own, and will not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.
In fact, of course, they are not without attitude, but they cherish their feathers.
Everyone looks at the world with "prejudice", "prejudice" is a subjective attitude, if there is no "prejudice", everyone is the same, the view of things is the same, and there is no colorful world.
In fact, it is indeed those rock singers who dare to speak in the music world.
Just like when everyone doesn't comment on Xiao Xianrou's music, Zheng Jun directly says that that thing is in his opinion.
Just like when most people worshiped Hong Kong and Taiwan stars at that time, He Yong said bluntly in an interview before the "New Chinese Rock Power" concert in 94, "Among the four kings of Xiangjiang, Jacky Cheung is a singer, and the other three are clowns."
Being a maverick and daring to express one's true attitude is a common trait of rock people, and it doesn't matter if what you say is recognized or not, but everyone has the right to express their attitude.
The popular music fans who were selected were selected from more than 20,000 people who signed up, many of whom loved rock music, and seeing Lin Xuan smashing the piano at the show site gave them a feeling of breaking a certain taboo, and poked their high point at once.
This seemingly out-of-the-ordinary move on the pop music stage is precisely the charm of rock music, there are not so many constraints, and the mood can be done when you want to.
"White Night! White Night!"
"Lin Xuan is awesome!"
The audience shouted loudly.
Many band members at the second scene clapped their hands and laughed, and many people were ignited by Lin Xuan's enthusiasm and exchanged their heads with each other, "This is the stage of rock music!"
After the performance, Lin Xuan and others stood in a row, waiting for Wu Weixin's interview.
At this time, several girls in their twenties in the audience looked and screamed loudly: "Lin Xuan, you are really handsome." β
The crowd laughed.
Lin Xuan shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be disdainful: "This kind of well-known thing, please don't deliberately emphasize it." β
There was laughter again.
"Lin Xuan, I want to marry you. A girl shouted.
"Huh~~" Everyone followed suit.
Lin Xuan said with a serious face: "Please line up three kilometers away from Bar Street." β
Li Bi, Zhang Fei and others around them laughed, and everyone at the second scene also laughed.
The audience booed mockingly.
Wu Weixinle blossomed, this dialogue, the variety show effect is simply full.
The camera fell on Lin Xuan, and Wu Weixin smiled: "Lin Xuan, how do you feel about watching other bands perform at the second scene in the past two days?"
"It made me doubt myself. Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"What do you say?" Wu Weixin wondered.
Lin Xuan touched his chin and said:
"Originally, I thought I was a robot with no feelings, but watching the performance backstage in the past two days actually brought tears to my eyes several times, especially when I watched the performance of the Immortal Bird Band, it was so embarrassing. β
In the second scene, all the Immortal Bird Band stood up and bowed slightly to express their gratitude.
Everyone laughed.
Wu Weixin said: "You have always been reluctant to be exposed, this time it was Teacher Qin Chu who personally came out to say that you were moved to participate in the show, how did you feel about participating in the show?"
Lin Xuan said seriously: "I like it very much here, I get along with everyone very happily, here I have seen a lot of seniors who have debuted for twenty or thirty years and are still serious about making music, and I have also seen many young people who are about the same age as me have made excellent music with attitude, which makes me more confident in the Chinese music scene."
I think this show is very meaningful, and I really hope that through this show, more people can pay attention to the band, like the band, and let these serious people who make music get more applause, so that their lives are better, and these excellent music are worth paying. β
Lin Xuan gave a thumbs up, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for being willing to do this show, promoting these niche music genres, I hope this show can take the band to the future, I hope the band can really break out of the ground, and I hope that the golden age of independent music can come as soon as possible!"
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Many of the band members at the second scene applauded vigorously with tears in their eyes.
Qin Chu's expression was full of embarrassment, he pursed his lips, and applauded while applauding.
Top songwriter Luo Qing and famous producer Zhang Qing also applauded vigorously.
Wu Weixin stood up and applauded, "Thank you." β
The applause lasted for a few minutes before it fell, and Lin Xuan patted his head and said:
"By the way, let me introduce you to the members of our band. This is the lead guitarist Li Xiong, Brother Xiong, and the manager of the "Green Day" bar, this is the drummer Zhang Fei, Brother Fei, is the manager of the "White House" bar, this is the bassist Li Bi, Brother Bi, I believe many friends are familiar with it, and our very good keyboardist Beibei. β
Qin Chu took over the conversation, focused on Li Xiong and Zhang Fei, and said:
"Zhang Fei and Li Xiong opened a livehouse in the late 90s and have been promoting band culture and live performances, and many famous bands have performed at Green Day Bar and White House Bar. β
The audience and the band members of the second scene gave them a round of applause.
After the applause fell, Luo Song held the lyrics of the song "Mountains and Seas" in his hand and said with a smile:
"Lin Xuan, let's talk about the reason why you created this song, I know that the motive for your song is the story of Li Wei and Wei Ling, and I also went to Weibo to read your Weibo.
The audience at the scene listened to the song once, and may not be able to understand the emotions expressed in your lyrics for the first time, I got the lyrics in advance, and I think your lyrics are very interesting, and there are some things worth pondering. β
Qin Chu and Zhang Qing on the side nodded frequently.
Luo Song looked at the audience and said, "Oh, by the way, have you read Lin Xuan's Weibo? Do you know that this song is written by Li Wei and Wei Ling?"
For a while, the hottest person in the Chinese music industry is Lin Xuan, the audience present loves music, and many viewers have paid attention to Lin Xuan's Weibo, and they have all claimed yes.
Luo Song smiled slightly and said, "Although you have read the story, you may not fully understand the meaning of this song for a while, we ask Lin Xuan to tell us about it." β
As soon as Luo Song's voice fell, the lyrics of the whole song appeared again on the screen behind the stage.
Luo Song looked at the screen and said:
"I looked at my naΓ―ve self, appearing in the story without me, waiting for my response, a reason why it was here.
In the second paragraph, I listened to the young man's voice, in the past and the future, longing for a happy ending, but failed to be myself.
Lin Xuan, I want to ask, how many "I" are in your lyrics?"
Lin Xuan smiled:
There are three "I" in total, let's take the first paragraph as an example, the first "me" is the current me, the "I" in "The Innocent Self" represents the young me, "appeared in the story without me", and the "I" in this sentence is the person I wanted to be when I was young. β
Luo Song was praised and said, "Then tell me the meaning of your two lyrics?"
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "I said at the beginning that the theme of this song is to express disappointment with myself, and the meaning of these two lyrics is very simple, that is, I looked at me when I was young, found that I did not become the self I was when I was young, and then asked myself why I was like this."
I remembered my voice when I was young, and I longed for a happy ending when I was young, but now, I have not been able to become myself. β
Luo Song asked again: "In your lyrics, he understands, he understands, I can't afford it", whether it is a man or a woman, I think it is also very interesting. β
Lin Xuan smiled: "It's okay, if it's a man, it expresses Li Wei's disappointment with himself, he thought he could become the person he wanted to be, but now he finds that he can't give the answer he wants when he is young."
If it is a woman, what is expressed is that Li Wei hopes that Wei Ling can understand, he feels that he can't give Wei Ling, he wants to give Wei Ling the life. β
After listening to Lin Xuan's explanation, the listeners looked at the lyrics, and suddenly realized for a while, and exchanged their heads with each other.
Actually, I didn't fully understand the meaning of the lyrics just now, so I completely understood it, and it turned out that there were three "I" in the lyrics. β
"This lyric is awesome, it turns out that there is so much content in a few simple sentences. β
This is a good lyric worth savoring, it seems simple, but in fact it has infinite meaning. β
Luo Song applauded and exclaimed: "This lyric is so well written, it seems that there are only two simple paragraphs, but it has rich content, which is really great." β
Lin Xuan sighed lightly and said:
In fact, this song is not only written for Li Wei, but also for everyone.
When we were young, we thought that the future was all shining days, and we wanted to grow up quickly, and we felt that everything in the future was as beautiful as poetry.
But now, we are standing in the future we expect, but we find that the ideal is still not realized, love may not be consummated, and real life has made us slap us again and again.
When we were young, we felt that we should be that kind of person, live that kind of life, talk about that kind of love, and make such friends, but in the end we found that life was not as good as poetry, and when we turned around and bumped into reality, we could only be like that.
There are not so many stories in real life, but accidents are frequent, and we are all slowly changing our appearance in the swaying of time, and even become the person we once hated.
We all have a moment when we are very disappointed in ourselves, so everyone is Li Wei.
Reminiscing about the friendships and loves of the past, recalling those past events, and the parts that are as bright as diamonds, but at the same time rusty. β
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Maybe this is life." β
The audience on the field was silent, and many of them looked a little gloomy, only feeling that after really understanding Lin Xuan's creative intentions, this song moved them even more, because it talked about the mood that everyone had.
The people at the second scene also had different expressions, some remembered and some sighed, and they were touched by Lin Xuan's words.
Wu Weixin nodded and said:
"Yes, we all have a moment, very disappointed in ourselves, thank you for bringing this song "Mountains and Seas", love across the mountains and seas, mountains and seas are not flat, but not only love is separated by mountains and seas, but the self in youth and the self in real life are also separated by mountains and seas. β
Wu Weixin clapped his hands and said, "Okay, next, let's take a look at the votes of the White Night Band." β
