Chapter 106: If You Want to Wear a Crown, You Must Bear Its Weight (Part 1)
Coming to the second scene again, everyone has become a lot more familiar and greeted them warmly.
Although it is a competition, but there is no such tense atmosphere on the field, everyone is a person who loves music, as long as you have enough strength, your music has moved me, it is not a big deal for me to lose to you, many people have such thoughts.
These people who are immersed in making music are relatively pure, and they also have one thing to say about each other's music, sincere and frank, Lin Xuan likes the atmosphere here.
However, after coming here and sitting down today, Lin Xuan found that people from other bands would look at him from time to time, with a slightly strange expression.
Dong Jin, who hit the South Wall Band next to him, sat next to Lin Xuan with a big grin, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, you are under a lot of pressure this time. ”
Lin Xuan realized something in his heart and smiled: "What do you say?"
"Hey, it's not a remark on the Internet, that poisonous music critic is a very famous music critic in the circle, he never charges money to write reviews, he has always been very vicious, so he has this name, but he is very optimistic about you. ”
Dong Jin pursed his mouth and said:
"You should have noticed that you attracted the attention of the audience as soon as you came in today, and it wasn't that the poisonous music critic called you "the flag bearer of the new generation of rock music", and you got the approval of many people, this name is a bit too big.
Most of the bands here are playing rock music, and your band has just been established and has such a name, can it not attract everyone's attention? Where do you leave these bands who have been playing for more than ten or twenty years? They inevitably have a little pimple in their hearts. ”
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes on the side and said, "That's what the poisonous tongue music review said, and it wasn't Xiaolin himself, what is the matter with Xiaolin." ”
But as soon as this thing causes a discussion, and the hat is placed on your head, you will inevitably be questioned and criticized when you receive praise and glory. Dong Jin said.
Lin Xuan smiled and said:
"Brother Dong, then you are really an adult, you don't mind at all after listening to those words, and you came to remind me that among the bands present, you are one of the most senior and status. ”
Dong Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Who told you I don't mind?"
At this time, Cui Chao, the lead singer of the band No. 43 Lime Street sitting next to him, also came over to join in the fun, smiled and put his arm around Lin Xuan's shoulder, and said:
"You are a 22-year-old kid who has just started a band and received such praise, how can we not mind, we are going crazy with jealousy, rock and roll flag bearer, for those who love rock music, what a supreme title, I never dreamed of it falling on my head. ”
The friendship between men is wonderful, in the absence of interests, sometimes the interests are like-minded, look at each other pleasing to the eye, and you can have a good friendship after a drink.
Lin Xuan also had a drink with the band No. 43 Lime Street and the band Crashing South Wall after the last recording of the show, and chatted for five or six hours, and everyone became a lot more familiar.
Lin Xuan looked at the two of them speechlessly, and said, "Since you guys mind, you still talk to me about this." ”
"Hey, I mind, but your music is really good, let me have nothing to say, let's go all out on stage, just show all your strength and enthusiasm to perform, use music to speak, if you are better than us, it is your ability. Dong Jin said seriously.
Cui Chao also smiled and said: "That's the truth, seeing you get such praise, I am not convinced, I will get more audience votes through performance on the stage, and I will not be able to defeat you if I try to defeat you, why hide like a resentful woman." ”
Hearing this, Lin Xuan also laughed.
Dong Jin patted Lin Xuan's shoulder and said:
"Kobayashi, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, with comments on the Internet, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you now, especially those rock fans, who want to see what works you, a new generation of flag bearers, can bring. ”
Cui Chao said with a smile: "You have to perform well in this show, as a flag bearer, don't you take the first place?" Of course, my goal is also the first, it depends on whether you have the ability to snatch it from me." ”
Li Xiong glared at the two of them and said, "It's like we're afraid of you, let's see you on stage and share." ”
Several people's eyes intertwined, and they all burst out laughing.
After the laughter gradually stopped, Dong Jin's smile retracted, sighed, and said:
"Hey, in fact, half of what we just said is a joke, Cui Chao and I are here at our age, we have long passed the peak creative period, and we haven't been able to carry the banner of rock and roll when we were young, let alone now.
In fact, we all know very well that the future lies with you young people, Kobayashi, I sincerely hope that you can bring more good works, become a rock star that attracts national attention, and also hold concerts in stadiums with 100,000 people, so that the audience can feel the charm of rock music.
If one day, I can see the young children all pick up the instrumental bands again, and I can see the bands dominate the major music award ceremonies, then I am really happy, and it is the greatest consolation for me, who has loved rock and roll all my life. ”
Cui Chao also sighed faintly:
"It doesn't matter who carries that flag, as long as someone can carry it, Xiaolin, come on!
Dong Jin and Cui Chao's words made Zhang Fei and the others silent.
Lin Xuan was quite moved, in the two of them, he saw something bright, that was the light of faith.
With the same meaning, Qin Chu also said it when he was looking for Lin Xuan to participate in the show.
Lin Xuan suddenly remembered the story of the Japanese film master of the previous generation, Shakespeare Kurosawa Akira in the film industry, and the new generation of Japanese film standard-bearer Takeshi Kitano.
It is said that shortly before his death, Kurosawa asked his daughter Kazuko Kurosawa to hand over a letter from Takeshi Kitano that he wrote by him.
The gist of the letter was: Kitano, you did a good job. Without you, the future of Japanese cinema would be in chaos. I hope that you will remember my entrustment and continue to carry forward the tradition of Japanese cinema. Akira Kurosawa respectfully.
Takeshi Kitano regarded this letter as the most precious gift he had ever received.
He framed it and hung it in his room.
Whenever Takeshi Kitano was lost, confused, and his film career fell into a trough, he would look up at it and say to director Akira Kurosawa, okay, master, I'll insist on making another movie.
When Lin Xuan read this story in his previous life, he was deeply moved by the expectations of his predecessors for his younger generations, and the meaning of inheritance.
Now, the same thing had fallen on his head, and Lin Xuan felt the courage on his shoulders become heavier.
However, as Dong Jin said, if you want to wear a crown, you must become a weight.
Because the poisonous music critic has always liked Lin Xuan and is optimistic about his future, he enthusiastically put this huge name on Lin Xuan's head.
But to be honest, Lin Xuan only has three rock songs now, although they are all widely discussed masterpieces, but his achievements are not enough to match this title.
Whether it is a poisonous music critic or someone who supports him on the Internet, they actually think that he is young and has a promising future.
Everything depends on the future works.
This title is a great honor for Lin Xuan, but it also means heavy pressure.
If he can't come up with convincing works in the future, and his virtue is not worthy, then he will be killed, and Lin Xuan's black fans will definitely step him into the mud.
"Then step by step, prove yourself with your work. ”
Lin Xuan secretly said in his heart:
"Since the world needs a rock star to set off the revival of rock music, so many seniors think of me like this, then I will resist this flag!"
The level of entertainment in this world is not as high as in the previous world, Lin Xuan has so many excellent rock works, give him a little time, he has the confidence to carry this banner.
