Chapter 13: Rock and Martial Arts (I)
The nearest cinema is just four stops away.
On Saturday morning, Li Qian still got up early, then exercised, bathed, changed clothes, ate, and when he finished packing his satchel and went out, the time was less than five minutes less than eight o'clock.
Wang Jinglu also carried a small satchel and was waiting at the gate of the community.
A sleeveless apricot yellow shirt on the upper body, and a linen pomegranate-colored over-the-knee skirt on the lower body - if ordinary girls wear it like this, Li Qian can complain about her, but to be honest, Wang Jinglu's slender and long little body, wearing such a body, is not tacky at all, and there is a faint little literary style.
Maybe seeing that Li Qian paid a little extra attention to his clothes, Wang Jinglu was a little weak-hearted, and when he came over, he asked, "I don't look good when I wear it like this?"
Li Qian glanced at her, "Who bought you this dress? This is not your style, right?"
"My sister. She replied honestly.
"Sure enough!" Li Qian pouted.
Wang Jingxue is a fairy-level character, from childhood to adulthood, the impression she left on Li Qian can be boiled down to four words: handsome, beautiful, cold, ruthless. Until now, these four words are still Li Qian's point of view.
It is conceivable that her aesthetic is not the same as that of ordinary people.
"That's why you two sisters dare to wear it like this!" Li Qian said.
"Is it really ugly?" she asked timidly.
Li Qian said: "It's better to be ugly, it will save me a lot of trouble!"
Wang Jinglu pursed her lips slightly.
Last night, she chose this dress in her small wardrobe for two hours, and this skirt was the first time to go up, and she looked in the mirror and thought it was good, but people didn't like it.
Li Qian walked a few steps and found that the person hadn't followed, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but smile.
"I said you can't do it, and you didn't hear it?" he said.
"Huh?" Wang Jinglu raised her head, a little confused, "You were praising me just now?"
Li Qian was helpless, "Why do you think your IQ has started to drop recently!" Okay...... I mean, if you wear it like that, if you wear it for an ordinary girl, it will look ugly, but if you wear it, it will be beautiful...... Do you understand this time?"
Wang Jinglu smiled, a little shy, a little happy.
"Let's go, then!" she said.
…………
Because the distance was not far, the two decided to walk directly.
Out of the community, Li Qian took out the headphones from his small satchel, put them on himself, thought about it, took off the one on the left again, and asked, "Do you want to listen?"
Wang Jinglu stretched out her hand to take it, and was startled as soon as she stuffed it into her ears.
It's a burst of heavy metal.
"Are you listening to rock?" she asked.
"Flying Band. He smiled and said, "Just this piece of heavy metal." Their songs, the taste of metal is not strong. ”
So, Wang Jinglu hesitated for a moment and stuffed it back into his ear.
Just one song, I finished listening to this side, just in time for the red light at the intersection, Li Qian took out the Walkman from his shoulder bag, took out the tape, and then took out another plate from the bag and handed it to Wang Jinglu, "Do you like this?"
"Ah, Zhou Yan, this is good, I like to listen to Zhou Yan's songs, I like this "Dreamer" the most, and my sister likes it too!" As she spoke, she returned the tape to Li Qian, "Just listen to this!"
So I listened to Zhou Yan's "Dreamer".
This Walkman was left by the original Li Qian, and at the same time, there were dozens of tapes.
The Walkman should be a domestic brand, called "Nansheng", the sound quality is very average, the tapes are new and old, the genuine pirated version is opened in half, about 20 or so genuine tapes, most of them are pop songs, folk songs and light music, but there are two discs of rock, a Russian album and an English album - without exception, the covers of both foreign language albums are beautiful.
In the past few days since he was reborn, on the way to and from school every day, and before going to bed at night, for about three hours a day, Li Qian would use it to listen to songs. Within a few days, he had already roughly gone through the dozens of tapes.
I have to say that although time and space have changed, history has changed, people have changed, and everything seems to have changed, the trend and direction of social development have not changed, music has not changed, and art has not changed.
The songs that Li Qian was familiar with in his previous life did not appear in this time and space, but good music, good musicians, and good singers are not absent. Even some singers and some songs are worth listening to repeatedly.
Take, for example, the Flying Band.
This is Li Qian's biggest discovery since Rebirth these days, and even a discovery that can be classified as a surprise.
In this time and space, in the early seventies, rock music in Britain showed a flourishing trend, and then swept the world, at that time, the domestic reform and opening up has been nearly ten years, and foreign communication and exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, so rock music is very smoothly introduced to China. By the end of the 70s, the domestic underground rock had developed vigorously, and there were more than a dozen powerful and famous bands, and they were all over Shuntianfu, Songjiangfu, Guangzhou and other places.
The Flying Band is one of the most powerful.
In 1981, the Flying Band recorded and released their first studio album "Wang Er Mazi is a Dog", which quickly became popular all over the country, and for more than ten years, they have always been the most popular rock band in China, and even have the reputation of the king of Chinese rock.
Unfortunately, it turned out that Li Qian didn't seem to be that interested in rock music, so there was only one tape of the Flying Band - that was their seventh studio album released in 1994, called "Dream into the Divine Machine".
Later, Li Qian successively bought two other albums released by them in recent years in the video store, one is called "Driving the Pig West", and the other is called "Zi Has to Speak".
Their albums are good, really good, a little jazz, a little punk, but more pop-rock, angry but not grumpy, fighting but not tyrannical, and even two songs are just a simple Acura in the poetry of freedom...... Retract and release freely, and the strength is thousand.
Especially the band's bass, which is connected to the top, is simply coquettish!
From Li Qian's point of view, the level of this album is the time and space he experienced, when domestic rock music was at its most prosperous in the 90s, and it also has enough strength to rank in the top five of all albums! Compared with the albums of Uncle Cui and Dou Daxian'er, I am afraid it is not far behind.
So, almost from the first song, Li Qian liked it.
In addition, of course, there is also a Zhou Yan.
Regarding the word concubine, Li Qian also specially checked the dictionary: Legend has it that 5,000 years ago, in order to stop the snatching of beauties between tribes, the Yellow Emperor specially selected a woman with excellent moral character but extremely ugly appearance to be his fourth wife, thinking that the world is exemplary, he also said that there is beauty without morality, not true beauty, and a virtuous woman is true beauty no matter what her appearance is. This woman is called a mother-in-law.
Therefore, 嫫 means ugly girl.
Although on the covers of the three tapes in Li Qian's hand, Zhou Yan is without exception wearing heavy smoky makeup and a deviant appearance, I have to say that she is really beautiful.
Of course, the most important thing is that her voice is really good, especially her unique fine and beautiful voice, which almost immediately reminded Li Qian of the diva in another time and space.
In fact, Zhou Yan in this time and space is also a singer.
The three tapes she had on hand had a total of thirty-one songs, most of which were of medium and high quality, and they were all very durable.
And Li Qian's favorite is her "Dreamer".
Coincidentally, it seems that this is a favorite shared by many people.
…………
The two listened to the song all the way to the Daming Lake Cinema City East District store, and then began to discuss which one to watch.
deliberately came to watch a movie, of course Li Qian didn't plan to watch one.
Unlike other people who come to have fun and leisure on weekends, he wants to take the opportunity to learn about the current domestic film market, so he didn't discuss too much with Wang Jinglu, Li Qian chose three in one go. The time is just right, you can change this hall for that hall, and see half past one at noon in one breath!
That's six movie tickets...... It's a little more expensive!
"Hey, how do you buy three shows, how are we going to eat at noon!" After getting the ticket, Wang Jinglu asked puzzled.
"You can eat it after you've finished reading it!" he said.
"Why, can't you eat it first and then see it?"
"Because you can pay half price in the morning, and after two o'clock, it's only 80% off!
"Oh...... But are you really sure we're going to watch so many shows in a row?"
"yes, I'm going to come to a movie Saturday! Hey, you won't regret coming with me, will you? I'll help you get your tickets back, okay? Do you know how much three tickets cost? I'm almost distressed!"
"If you want to be beautiful, I won't leave...... Hey, actually, I brought the money, and I'll pay you back in the evening, okay? I don't dare to rush to pay the bill with you, I'm afraid that people will laugh at you when they see it. ”
"Just kidding...... I don't want the money, and you'll have a dinner after you've seen it later!"
"Okay, okay, what do you want to eat? I love to eat rice noodles in the neighborhood, I remember when I was a child, my sister took me to watch a movie, and we would go to eat rice noodles from that house every time, and we would eat them together later, okay?"
"You seem to be very excited today, a bit of a lot!"
"And what exactly do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat...... Lanzhou ramen. ”
"But Lanzhou ramen is not delicious...... Okay, then let's eat Lanzhou ramen, I haven't eaten it for a long time, and it's good to eat it again!"
"Hey, just kidding, your IQ has really dropped pretty fast lately...... Let's go eat rice noodles, I want a big portion!"
"Yes, yes, I'm in for a treat!"
…………
There are a total of seven films being released today, and the first ticket Li Qian bought is called "Love, You Won't Lose", which should be ...... Urban romance film? Looking at the poster looks like an urban light comedy, whatever, look at it, Wang Jinglu should like it. It doesn't matter if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like to watch movies anyway.
The second is an imported blockbuster, according to the ticket seller, it was just introduced from the United States, and it just rolled off the assembly line in the United States not long ago, and the promotional slogan said that the box office was more than 70 million US dollars, and it is currently ranked 6th at the North American box office in 95...... It should look good.
Well, because the name of the film translates to "Proud Bones", because the starring role is ...... Schwarzenegger!
The third part is domestic...... Blockbuster!
That's what the conductor said anyway.
"The Three Musketeers in White", just look at the name, you know that it is a martial arts film.
