Chapter 157: Silence and Fury
"On that day, you covered my eyes and the sky with a red cloth.
You ask me what I see, and I say I see happiness.
It makes me feel so comfortable, it makes me forget that I don't have a place to live.
You ask me where I'm going, and I say I'm going to get on your way.
I can't see you or the way, and your hand is held by you,
You ask me what I'm thinking, and I say I want you to call the shots.
I feel that you are not iron, but as strong and fierce as iron,
I feel blood on your body because your hands are hot.
……”
Guitar, plus trumpet, no drums, no bass.
Li Qian's voice is not high-pitched, but just like the original "Flower Girl" and "Nothing", there is a slight tearing in his voice, and the touch of quality that people can't describe in words is moving.
Rather than saying that this is a rock song, Xiao Aiguo feels that it is more like a ballad.
Of course, since Li Qian's debut, he has always been known for his extensive and comprehensive music creation talent, and Xiao Aiguo is not surprised that he can write such a work that integrates rock and folk.
Even, for such a work, a good work, he is not surprised at all.
He just listened and listened, and involuntarily suddenly thought of a lot.
It's about love, it's about life.
At that time, a group of fearless young people gathered from all over the world, wandered around various cities, performed in groups, held roadshows, free of charge, and when they were short of money, they went to bars, nightclubs and other places that were still fresh at that time to perform and save venues, he wrote songs, drank, slept with the most beautiful girls, and lived in the cheapest hotels.
No money, no house, no car, oh yes, the horses had a little broken cart back then...... But wherever they went, they were always very popular, and the young men and women were always around them, dancing, swaying, jumping, and shouting to the music.
At that time, he once felt that the whole world belonged to him.
Later, they signed a contract, released a record, became popular, became more popular, became more popular, and the Flying Band, people had to give a thumbs up when they mentioned it, saying that they were a banner of domestic rock music. He rocks Lao Xiao and is considered to be the first person in domestic rock music, at the godfather level!
is rich, everyone is rich, buy the world and buy the world, Xiao Aiguo still remembers that in 79, he spent more than 26,000 yuan to buy a long and thick big gold chain, and hung it around his neck every day to swagger through the market, he thought it was really cool and awesome......
Happy? Actually, it's quite happy.
They are still making music, they are doing it well, every time a new album is released, people always flock to buy it, just like the current Liao Liao and the four major beauty bands, big sales, big sales, big sales!
In such a fresh clothes and angry horses and resplendent gold, he unscrupulously swayed all the hormones in his body, swayed his original dreams, and at the same time, he also squandered the creative talent that was worshiped as a god by countless fans.
And then, finally, for two or three years, he didn't write a song that satisfied him, and the record company urged him, so he wrote it casually, and he paid for an album, and then, well, the sales gradually started to drop, and then, everybody said, rock 'n' roll was not good.
And then again, the Flying Band finally stopped releasing albums.
And then again, people talk and talk, rock 'n' roll is really not good, it is declining.
Although everyone doesn't know each other, Xiao Aiguo believes that Li Qian is definitely not a good bird.
In fact, the person who can write rock and roll well, the person who can write "The False Monk" and "Start Again", he believes that Li Qian must also be the kind of person who is extremely rebellious in his heart.
The only difference is that he is still young, and he has already begun to get old.
Rubbing his hand against his nose, he tilted his head slightly and looked at the rehearsal area.
In the stereo, Li Qian's voice was still unhurried, still singing like a tear but suppressed-
"I feel that this is not a wilderness, but I see that the land here has dried up,
I feel like I'm going to drink some water, but your mouth plugs my mouth,
I can't walk and I can't cry because my body is dry now,
I will always be with you like this, because I know your pain best.
……”
Xiao Aiguo's eyes widened, narrowed, narrowed, and opened.
Such a song may not be unusual to most ordinary fans, but as a person who has lived for rock and roll for more than 20 years, Xiao Aiguo knows what kind of energy is hidden in this song, and how thrilling it is in its bones.
So, instead, he fell silent.
The end of the song.
Xiao Aiguo heard it clearly, and Ma Aishu beside him let out a long breath.
However, he didn't turn his head to look at him, just quietly waited for the arrival of the next piece.
It's "Once You".
The sound of the guitar was crisp, and there was no movement in the studio of the Flying Band, except for the sound of music coming from the stereo - after three songs in a row, everyone was silent.
In the middle, Xiao Aiguo took the CD case from Ma Aishu's hand, flipped to the back, and knew the name of the next song in advance, which was called "Free as the Wind".
It's another good song, no doubt about it.
Putting down the CD case, Xiao Aiguo rubbed his face, lowered his head, and continued to listen.
The folk-rock style of "Once You" and the cynical and absurd of the previous three songs do not seem to be the work of the same person at all, but when they are combined, when they are just melted into one album and played in sequence for a few minutes before and after, the whole Flying Band is silenced.
Again, Xiao Aiguo was distracted.
Until he was suddenly woken up by another song.
"Today I'm watching the snow drift by in the cold night,
With a cooled heart floating away,
Chasing in the wind and rain, I can't tell the trace in the fog,
The sky is wide and you and I can change.
……”
At this moment, some people are at a loss, such as Zheng Mo, some people are solemn, such as Zhou Zhao, some people are like facing the enemy, such as Geng Le, but at this moment, listening to it, Xiao Aiguo unconsciously relaxed.
Rarely, he leaned back and lifted Erlang's legs.
The tension of everyone else in this room is in stark contrast.
Yes, at first, it was Geng Le who didn't care, he was nervous, and later, it was Geng Le who became more and more nervous, but he seemed to have walked through a dark, dark, narrow and tortuous alley, and after coming out, his heart was steady, comfortable, relaxed, and calm.
…………
Just like many people in the industry know and understand Li Qian, the second album "Once You" of the Four Beauties is still done by him lightly and easily.
If you want to be literary and artistic, you want to be forced, he has given the first three songs, which have been given to the fullest, and then, including "Once You Was", two folk style rocks, began to turn to the market, and just before he was about to slide into pop rock, he gave another song "The Sea and the Sky" that although it belongs to the category of pop rock, it makes people think they are as smart as Geng Le, and they feel very stressed.
Without a doubt, another good song, a good song that is enough to make any rock album shine and become different!
In a work like this, there is no deliberate pursuit of anything, and there is no need to deliberately pursue anything.
It doesn't need to be forced, it's already in its own right.
It doesn't need literature and art, it is literature and art in itself.
But it's so popular.
Then, "How to Say Love", well, it's very popular, it's definitely the kind of thing that can make Geng Le disdain to smile, but Xiao Aiguo didn't laugh, even if he smiled, he was still smiling.
The atmosphere in the room finally began to relax a little, Xiao Aiguo didn't need to look back, he had already heard the sound of many people in the room breathing out of their nostrils - it seems that such a song appeared, although it may be very popular and will be very pleasing to fans, but on the contrary, it is the most disdainful of these people in the room at the moment.
The next song is called "Norwegian Wood".
As soon as he heard the B section, Geng Le couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Aiguo has completely closed his eyes, Erlang's legs are held high, and it seems that he no longer cares about everything in the outside world, just quietly enjoying the album.
It's just that, whether he wants it or not, he still heard Geng Le say to the people around him: "What the hell is this, listening to the first few songs, I still think I can make do with it......"
Xiao Aiguo frowned, his eyes continued to be closed, but he suddenly said loudly: "Le'er, don't brag, if you are not as good as others, you are not as good as others, admit it in your own home, no shame!"
Geng Le's mouth opened a few times, and when he saw Xiao Aiguo's appearance of wandering out of the world, he remembered that he was indeed nervous just now, and he wanted to say something more, but he was blocked by the sentence "less bragging", and he felt that he couldn't open his mouth left and right.
So, he fell silent, and everyone continued to listen to the song.
Xiao Aiguo listened more and more fascinated, and his eyebrows trembled faintly with the rhythm of the music.
Ma Aishu turned her head to look at him curiously, her brows furrowed, and her face was full of puzzlement.
The penultimate song on the album is called "Don't Come and Pester Me".
As soon as the singing was together, Li Qian had just sung a few words, Geng Le's eyes widened, and when the song was halfway through, he finally couldn't help but burst out foul, "Damn, this grandson is wrong, right?"
Geng Le grinned silently when he heard this.
"Don't worry, sit down and listen!" he laughed.
Ma Aishu turned his head to look at him again in surprise, surprised by his strange attitude now.
It's a great song -- not just about the rhythm, it's about the lyrics, and the unmistakable direction of the lyrics.
Even, frankly speaking, this song is pointing at Geng Le's nose and scolding, of course, it may also include Xiao Aiguo himself, and the entire Flying Band-
"I don't want to say anything more to you,
Now I'm angry,
You have been completely overwhelmed by your hypocrisy,
It becomes a nasty color,
Take your share of the work,
Do better than others,
Make your attitude acceptable,
You and I are equal, you and me.
Don't come and pester me,
Don't make me sad,
This is the new China,
I don't want to say more.
Do you have to speak so arrogantly?
This is where the rules are.
Maybe you should really learn the lesson of politeness,
Don't let people condemn you.
……”
"This guy is really willful. Xiao Aiguo couldn't help but think.
Obviously, he is likely to be one of the people "condemned" in the song, but such a song makes Xiao Aiguo more and more happy the more he listens to it, although his eyes are closed, his smile is rippling on his face.
He can even guess how countless fans will react when they hear the song after buying the album home - yes, it is estimated that countless people will react like his current self and laugh out loud, or simply laugh out loud!
Look, how awesome this is!
Just like myself back then, I never fight with others!
Quarreling, that's what do!
Men, if you can do it, don't be foolish!
So, that kid really did it - no matter how Geng Le spoke wildly at that time, he always refused to be interviewed, and then, for a month, he really held back such an album, and at the end of the album, he spoke decisively, and it was in the album released publicly, it was open to all listeners, and he criticized it mercilessly!
Now it's good, it's neat!
At this time, Xiao Aiguo listened and laughed, and suddenly his naughty heart rose, and he secretly opened a little slit, glanced at Geng Le, and saw Geng Le's angry appearance, after closing his eyes, his smile suddenly became more and more brilliant.
And then, well, the last song on this album, which is responsible for the finale, is "Fly Higher".
As soon as the melody of this song started, Geng Le had already gotten up and picked up another box of CDs, looked at the album tracks, and made sure that it was the last one, and then he turned off the CD player directly.
The music stopped, and the room was suddenly so quiet that the pins could be heard.
Geng Le's breathing was a little rough.
Everyone looked up at him, even Xiao Aiguo slowly opened his eyes and lowered Erlang's legs.
In fact, no matter how verbally he belittles the other party, in fact, deep down, even Geng Le understands that the strength of the four beauty bands cannot be underestimated, and the reason why he took the initiative to fire and criticize the other party is indeed that there is some intention to borrow some popularity from the other party.
It's just that he didn't expect that Li Qian, who was silent at the time, would actually put the muzzle of the gun directly on their album - like Xiao Aiguo, he can also imagine what kind of reaction the fans who have already got the album at this moment will have if they have heard this song!
He could imagine thousands of sneering faces.
So, he was furious.
