Chapter 9 I Love Music, I Love You Too!
The next day was Friday.
At six o'clock in the morning, Li Qian opened his eyes on time.
In the years when he was making music, his habit was to go to bed at six o'clock in the morning and get up at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but in the years when he was filming film and television dramas, his habit became to go to bed at twelve o'clock at night and get up at six o'clock in the morning. And if the job is changed to a prop master or an assistant director, he needs to go to bed at 2 o'clock at night and get up at 5 o'clock in the morning - no one is more difficult than the other, because everyone is also very hard.
As for now, he can go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening and get up at six in the morning.
For Li Qian, who is a man of two lifetimes, this kind of time is already a kind of happiness in itself.
Of course, after more than ten years of life, Li Qian has long lost the habit of lying in bed.
As soon as his eyes opened, he was completely awake in a few seconds, and then he got dressed and got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth.
Li's father and mother usually get up at half past six, and only on Saturdays and weekends will they get up half an hour late. Li Qian was ready to go out after cleaning up, but there was no movement in the master bedroom, so he didn't wait for them to get up, and went out by himself.
Downstairs, he began to jog.
In recent days, he has reverted to the habit of getting up and exercising every morning.
About 1,000 meters away from Shengshi Garden, there is a park called Mingqin Spring Park. Well, Jinan Mansion is called "Seventy-two Famous Springs", and Mingqin Spring is not among them, so the park is not big.
It's past six o'clock in the morning, and there aren't many people in the park. When Li Qian ran to the park, his whole body was already warm, and he deliberately moved for a while to move all the muscles and bones on his body, and then he started boxing.
The boxing method he practiced is not a famous magic skill, just a set of boxing techniques that don't even have a name, which he learned from a big brother in the crew when he was with a TV crew, according to the big brother, this boxing method has been passed on to him for the eighth generation, but he only has one daughter, and he can't pass it on, since Li Qian is sincerely willing to learn, he is also willing to teach.
Later, he met intermittently in several crews, and he studied intermittently, and it took him four years before he finished learning - every New Year's holiday, as long as he was not too busy to touch the ground, Li Qian would take his girlfriend to pay New Year's greetings to the big brother, and they treated each other as relatives, regardless of apprentices and masters, and the friendship between the rivers and lakes was in his heart.
According to the big brother, this boxing method was originally created to kill people, but now the world is peaceful, chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and the killing technique is no longer suitable for ordinary people, so when it is taught, Big Brother made it clear that this boxing method is born from external forces and internal strength, but you don't have to practice towards that goal, just treat it as a set of broadcast gymnastics on weekdays. I usually have time to play a dozen, and I should be in good shape. When it really comes to a critical time, don't look at it as an empty shelf, it's okay to fight a little hooligan or something-that's it-that's it, Li Qian didn't expect to become a peerless master, what he wants is fitness, and by the way, he can have some skills or something when filming scenes.
I was very familiar with boxing in my previous life, and I was a bit raw in this life, don't look at the current Li Qian who has loved sports since he was a child, playing basketball and football, all of which are decent, but the coordination of muscles and muscles still can't meet the requirements of playing this set of boxing smoothly. However, after being cooked twice and beaten three times in a row, at least it looks a little bit like it.
Li Qian still used it as a radio gymnastics practice in his life, and he was not in a hurry to advance, after punching three times, he was covered in stinky sweat, he rested for a while and panted, and then walked back slowly.
When I returned home, it was already half past seven, and Li's mother had already made breakfast, and when she saw Li Qian coming back, she immediately started eating.
"Yo, Mom, did you win the lottery or did you conceive a younger brother for me, why did you still make steamed dumplings?"
After the event in the morning, Li Qian was already hungry, and when he saw two plates of hot steamed dumplings on the dinner table, he immediately pinched one and stuffed it in his mouth, and wanted to pinch the second, but was slapped away by Li's mother, "Go, stinky sweat, go take a shower first and then come to eat...... Who do you say you have with this mouth, why are you so stinky and poor? I don't have your mouth to say anything with your father!"
Li Qian laughed twice and hurried to take a shower.
When he came back from the shower and sat down at the dinner table, he found that his parents hadn't eaten yet, and they were waiting for him.
Li Qian looked left and right, "Dad, Mom, let's ...... What's wrong?"
When Mama Li heard this, she looked at Dad Li, but Dad Li looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
This feeling is not only something, but it also seems to be a small matter.
Li Qian had already touched the chopsticks, but when he saw this, he put them down again, put away the strength of the hippie smile, and sat down with a serious look, looked left, looked again, and said, "Dad, my mother won't really be pregnant, right?"
In a word, Dad Li's original hesitation disappeared, and Mr. Li, who has always paid attention to spring breeze and rain, instantly threw away Sven, who had been maintained for an unknown number of years, and raised his hand to hit, but fortunately, Li Qian flashed quickly, so this slap was not hit.
Li's mother also looked unhappy, and complained: "This kid, your father wants to tell you the right thing, don't be upright!"
Li Qian raised his hand in surrender, sat back, and said, "Okay, okay, then you say, I'll listen." ”
Dad Li was angry, thought about it, and said: "You are not young, you are seventeen, and you are starting to have your own opinions on everything, so let's talk to the two of you, Dad will not go around in circles with you, and you don't have a hippie smile on your face, okay?"
This time Li Qian was really serious, nodded, and said, "Okay, Dad, you can say it!"
Dad Li reached out and knocked lightly on the table twice, but finally didn't hold back, took out a cigarette and lit it, this time Dad Li didn't complain about anything, but went to take an ashtray and put it in front of Dad Li.
After a few puffs, Dad Li flicked the cigarette ashes, and finally spoke, "I finished talking to your mother about writing songs, and we also discussed it for half a night last night, but I still want to ask your opinion." Do you really like music and are you going to do it in the future, or is it just a hobby to have fun?"
Li Qian thought about it when he heard this, and replied very seriously: "Now, I'm just a high school student, don't care what I want to do in the future, it's just practice now, even if it's fun, it's also preparing for the future." In the future, when I graduate from high school or even college, I want to do this if I have the chance. ”
Dad Li nodded, took two more puffs of cigarettes, and said, "Your mother and I are not that kind of old thinking, we are both people who like literature and art, you must understand this, right? Look, you are not a little older, we just want to cultivate your artistic cells, and we specially bought you a guitar, right?"
After finishing speaking, he still looked at Li Qian very seriously, as if he was waiting for him to nod and approve his words.
If it were a seventeen-year-old Li Qian, listening to his parents talking to him like this, it is estimated that he would start to get impatient, but now this Li Qian, in his bones, is already a person who has been alone in society for more than ten years and is also used to seeing the good intentions and bad intentions in this world, of course he can understand why his parents are patiently and around the corner to talk to him about this.
Even at this moment, he saw a trace of apprehension in Dad Li's eyes.
Yes, if you think about it, it seems that when I announced to my parents that I was going to form a band, I also vaguely saw such a familiar look in their eyes at that time.
It's apprehension.
They love their son, they are willing to make their son better, they are even willing to give everything for their son, so of course, they want their son to follow his own will to pursue those things and careers that he loves. However, whether it is from their own experience or from what they have seen and learned from decades of life experience, they all know that the career that their son loves is really not a good choice.
Love music, that's easy to say.
Loving art sounds great.
However, there are too many children in this world who love music and art, but there are too few people who can really embark on this path and achieve certain results in the end.
As little as 1 in 10,000 or 1 in 100,000.
As parents, when they have foreseen the difficulties of pursuing a career in this industry, how can they not remind their sons, and how can they resist trying to change their minds?
But at the same time, they know very well that it is very difficult to change a person's mind, even their own son's mind, especially when he is in adolescence - a period of great rebellion.
So, they know that they have to do it, they have to try to change, they have to try to turn it around, or at least it is a reminder, but they also know that when they do it, they will probably receive a very bad result.
Silent revolt? That's a better ending.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, how many boys and girls are strongly dissatisfied with their parents or run away from home. Or even turn against each other?
So, they were worried.
It's just that they don't know that the current Li Qian is no longer the Li Qian of the past.
The tempering of more than 30 years of rough life in the previous life made Li Qian have a mature mind that even far surpasses his peers, and at this moment, in the face of Li Dad's inquiring gaze, he has a firm expression and a calm gaze.
"Dad, I see what you mean. He said.
Father Li was stunned when he heard this, and turned around to look at Mother Li, and they were a little stunned in each other's eyes.
"You...... Got it?" asked Dad Li.
Li Qian smiled and said, "I love music, and this will not change." I will continue to practice and accumulate energy, and this will not change. However, first of all, I will make sure that I will be admitted to a public university, well, preferably a public university in Beijing. Such...... Do you think it's okay?"
Dad Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, frowned and thought for a moment, he sighed and raised his hand to extinguish the cigarette in the ashtray.
Then, he held up three fingers, "Final exam, enter the top 30 in the class, what are you going to do during the summer vacation, I and your mother will not interfere with you! However, when you enter the third year of high school, every monthly exam, you must not be lower than the top 30, and the year-end exam, the top 20, and keep it until before the college entrance examination...... Okay?"
Li's father and Li's mother's eyes fell on Li Qian at the same time, Li's mother seemed to be afraid of putting too much pressure on her son, and specially encouraged: "Xiaoqian, think about a few years ago, when you were in junior high school, that exam was not the top ten, the top five?
Dad Li then spoke: "Don't blame Mom and Dad for interfering with you, from your recent performance, speech, and deeds, Dad can feel that you are much more mature than before, so, Dad thinks, you should be able to understand the painstaking work I told your mother to tell you today, right? We don't ask for much, we just hope to see you get admitted to college, so that you won't lose to other peers at the beginning stage...... Of course, even if you are admitted to college, your father still thinks that music is only suitable as a hobby, and it is really not suitable for a career, and those stars look beautiful, but you can't just stare at them, you should think about how many people's failures have finally made that person's success! For example, your father and me, I like to write, that's right, right? But what is my profession? I am a Chinese language teacher!"
The more Dad Li talked, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more he meant to talk at length, and Mama Li touched him with her elbow.
As a result, Li's father's "Godson Said" came to an abrupt end.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Dad, I know you must be full of doubts now, but give me some time, okay? At least if I guarantee my academic performance and promise to be admitted to university, don't interfere with my music, okay? I promise you and my mother that I will definitely succeed! Of course...... Of course, well, there is no need for the final exam, this monthly exam, I will be in the top 30, and then, as you wish, I will at least meet your requirements in every future exam!
Dad Li turned his head and glanced at Mama Li, his fingers slowly tapped on the table a few times, and then, he nodded solemnly, "I still maintain my opinion, I don't support or encourage you to engage in music." However, as long as you can achieve the grades I demanded, your mother and I will not object!"
Li Qian showed a bright smile on his face, stood up and walked between his parents, hugged the two of them with one hand, and kissed them one by one on the face.
Seeing his father's disgusting and disgusted expression and wipe his saliva, the smile on Li Qian's face suddenly became brighter.
"Deal!" he said, "I love music, but I love you too!"
