Shuncheonfu Huiwen Bookstore.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, at eight o'clock in the morning, the bookstore had just opened, and there was a long queue outside the door.

It is said that it is a long line, but in fact it is not long, because there is no shortage of goods, so the manager on duty arranges for someone to move the supply of goods to the gate on the first floor, and then hangs a sign at the door: ""Once You" is on sale!", basically who is in line, prepare money, and take it as you go.

Of course, early in the morning, there are a lot of people coming, all of them come at this time, and the queue is still definitely needed - there are thirty or forty people at most, at least twenty or so, there are always people leaving, and there are always people coming.

Because Huiwen Bookstore sells a large number of original books in foreign languages and a large number of original albums in English and Spanish, the scale of the three-story building, although it is not big or small, is also quite influential in some niche reading circles and music circles.

He was busy until half past eight, and hundreds of albums had been sold, and the manager on duty suddenly found that the store's stereo had not been turned on, so he decisively opened a box of CDs and turned on the store's audio system.

Then, the sound of a guzheng came out.

This is for customers, the store is so busy at the moment, it is conceivable that from the manager on duty to the ordinary salesperson, they don't have much energy to listen to the album attentively, as for the customers...... At such an early age, there are not many people who actually go to the store to hang out and pick up books, so most of the people who come are coming for "Once You", which is the most typical kind of customer who has a clear goal and buys and leaves.

When Zheng Mo came to the bookstore, it was almost nine o'clock, and he was a little surprised when he saw dozens of people lining up at the door, but at this time, it happened that the sound system in the store had already played the song "Once You", listening to this melody, and then looking at the sign hanging at the door, "Once You Were on Sale!" ", he couldn't help but pout, and shook his head with a little disdain.

Following the flow of people, he crossed the crowd and walked to the counter, seeing that it was not far from the counter, some people were unwilling, "Hey, buddy, line up!"

Zheng Mo didn't care at first, but then, someone grabbed his arm, and when he turned around, the man also said: "Who bought the album, right?

Zheng Mo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously caught the angry eyes of many people behind the team, and he hesitated for a moment, and quickly said: "I am a VIP member, I ......"

Before he could finish speaking, someone had already said: "I'm still a VIP, go later!"

Zheng Mo spread his hands, the boss was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to go forward under the angry eyes of so many people, and when he was in a dilemma, he happened to turn his head and saw a familiar figure, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Manager Shen, has the order I handed over a year ago?"

The duty manager of Huiwen Bookstore is surnamed Shen, and when he heard that he saw Zheng Mo, he hurriedly walked over at the moment, and the two simply shook hands, and Manager Shen smiled: "There is still a copy of Corinna that has not been sent, but the rest is already ready, just at the counter, I will help you get it!"

Zheng Mo thanked him, and was about to go over with him, after thinking about it, he turned his head and glanced at a few people in the team, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he snorted disdainfully.

Many people in the back looked at each other angrily.

But listening to the conversation, you can hear that this person should indeed be an old customer of Huiwen Bookstore, and even know the manager on duty, in the final analysis, although everyone is anxious to get the album quickly, but no one wants to cause anything, so, although watching Zheng Mo triumphantly get a large stack of albums, and add a few copies of "Once You" to his small box, check out and leave, many people are angry, but in the end, no one stood up and said anything.

Zheng Mo took the album he ordered, and as soon as he got into the car, he received a call from Zhou Zhao, general manager of Xinda Records, "Lao Zheng, Lao Xiao, don't you know if they are in the studio?" I just got Li Qian's album, do you want to go to the studio too, let's listen to it together?"

Zheng Mo smiled when he heard this: "I just got it, and I'm about to go back to the studio, Mr. Zhou, will you come too?"

Zhou Zhao quickly replied: "Okay, I'll go over right away and see you later." ”

"Hey, I'll see you later. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Mo quickly started the car and went straight to the music studio of the Flying Band.

It's just a quarter past nine, but the seven members of the band have already arrived, and it looks like they're ready to start rehearsals!

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Aiguo had already gathered everyone together and started the rehearsal of the new song, and it could be seen that his spirit was unprecedentedly high, and the two songs that were revised and a new work were also of a very high standard. In the past few days, everyone has been arriving early and leaving late, and the rehearsals have been quite hard.

Zheng Mo entered the studio, put down the box, and greeted everyone one by one, seeing that Geng Le was a little sleepy-eyed, and looked at the kung fu that no one was paying attention to, he laughed in a low voice: "Played late last night?"

Geng Le yawned, but he didn't mean to hide it at all, but his words were full of tiredness and dissatisfaction, "Yesterday you all flashed, Lao Xiao pulled me and the horse to continue to adapt the song,, three o'clock in the morning, you said that Lao Xiao is not sleepy, less than eight o'clock, call me......"

Before Zheng Mo could answer, Xiao Aiguo had already said with a smile: "Listen to what you mean, it seems that you are really old, I remember at that time, twenty years ago, we didn't stay up until three or four o'clock one day, get up at six or seven o'clock the next morning, and continue to work! At that time, I didn't listen to your nagging and I was so sleepy! I went back last night, and I fired again, right? Is it still the last time that woman?"

Everyone laughed.

Geng Le rolled his eyes and yawned again, looking too lazy to refute.

At this time, the door of the studio was pushed open, and Zhou Zhao of Xinda Records strode in, "Hey, where are you all?

Then he turned his head to look at Zheng Mo, "Old Zheng, where is the album?

When Zheng Mo heard this, he turned around and took out three identical albums from the box, "Oh, here, I bought it in the queue, haha! A few grandchildren are still glaring at me, grass!"

Geng Le glanced at a few people on the album cover, suddenly rubbed his eyes, and suddenly became a lot more energetic, "Grass, this is on the market? You are really a loser, this kind of **** album, you still buy so many copies, you pay for it privately, and the studio will not reimburse you!"

While talking, he walked over and took one of them, looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's just right, I'm very sleepy at this time, let's listen to his album, and let me squint a little longer by the way?"

When he said this, he was meant to say it to everyone, but in the end, his eyes naturally fell on Xiao Aiguo - unexpectedly, a look of hesitation flashed on Xiao Aiguo's face.

Everyone said "yes", Geng Le didn't notice Xiao Aiguo's expression, he took the CD and went straight to the CD player, but Ma Aishu was careful, and found that Xiao Aiguo's face was a little wrong, so he turned his head to look at him.

The two glanced at each other, and Xiao Aiguo suddenly said, "Let's rehearse first!"

In the studio, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then, everyone looked at each other.

When the words came out, Xiao Aiguo regretted it a little, but at this time the words had already been spoken, so he had to say: "I don't want to be influenced by anyone, let's find out the feeling first, and listen to it when we are idle and rest, it's too late!"

Xinda's boss Zhou Zhao and their agent Zheng Mo are here, and they all rushed over early in the morning, so what happened, obviously self-evident, even early in the morning, they all went to get the newly released album and rushed over, at this time, hearing Xiao Aiguo's words, I couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Ma Aishu was also stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Old Xiao, what's wrong?"

After a while, Xiao Aiguo smiled, "It's okay!"

After a pause, he shrugged helplessly, "You want to listen, it's okay, but I'll talk about it ugly ahead, don't care if other people's albums are good or bad, don't affect your mentality, after listening to it later, we still have to rehearse how to rehearse!OK?"

Everyone replied "no problem".

Then, Geng Le tore open the package and went to fiddle with the CD player, including Zhou Zhao and Zheng Mo, everyone found a place to sit down, ready to listen to it, and watch the best-selling rock album "Once You", how it looked.

At this time, Ma Aishu took the initiative to sit next to Xiao Aiguo, and while people were not paying attention, he whispered: "Old Xiao, what's wrong?"

Xiao Aiguo looked at him and smiled, "It's okay!"

"Are you alright?"

"It's all right!"

While talking, Geng Le had already put the album away, walked back with the remote control in his hand, and said with a smile: "Come, listen, see what these little kids can come up with, just the song "Fly Higher", fuck, I really don't know how the girls have a face tube that kind of fucking thing called rock and roll!"

As he spoke, he sat down, pressed his hand, and threw the remote control away.

The sound of a guzheng soon came from the stereo.

Everyone frowned and listened.

Rock music originated in the West, but since it was introduced into the country, it was inevitably contaminated with many domestic factors, as early as the early eighties, there were domestic rock bands began to try to add some oriental national instruments to the arrangement of rock music, the effect was good, the flying band in the mid-eighties in the last two albums, Xiao Aiguo and Ma Aishu they, also tried this way of arrangement, but the response was mediocre, and then with their semi-retirement, rock music began to heat down, although there are still bands to try this kind of arrangement style, but obviously, have not been able to become popular, so, this kind of arrangement, said fresh is not new at all, but it's not new, the style that is really mature in China at the moment is really only four beauty bands.

In their last album "Fake Monk", there are also many similar arrangements, and to this day, they have been regarded as classics by many domestic rock bands.

And now, the second album of the Four Beauties, the first song at the beginning, is such an arrangement - and it's very long!

Although there are other instruments entering this section of the guzheng, it will be more than a minute long, so many people are a little surprised to hear it.

Ma Aishu got up and went over, took the CD box over, flipped to the back, and saw the title of the song.

"It's called, 'Let me spread some wild land on this snow!'" he said.

Hearing this name, many people raised their eyebrows, and Xiao Aiguo narrowed his eyes.

In the sound of the guzheng, the chime sound gradually rose.

Finally, like veterans of many years of hunting, a group of rock cows in this room suddenly smelled a creepy but inexplicably excited smell in this blandness.

The drums beat and grew louder...... And quickly violent.

I have to say that just this arrangement, many people in the room immediately became excited.

Even a veteran like Ma Aishu unconsciously moved his butt and changed his sitting posture - just an arrangement, of course, it is not enough to explain too much, but at least there is one thing that veterans like Ma Aishu and Xiao Aiguo can smell at a glance, that is, the taste of this album is very positive!

The drums beat loudly, the rhythm shifted, and the bass, guitar, and drums suddenly formed the kind of shaky rhythm that had some traces on the last album of the Four Beauty, "False Monk".

It's just that this time, the bass performance is extra prominent, which makes the whole rhythm become a lot more exciting!

"I'm shirtless, I'm facing the wind and snow,

Running on the road out of the hospital,

Don't stop me, and I don't want clothes,

Because my illness just doesn't feel anything. ”

After brushing it, others didn't feel it yet, but Xiao Aiguo suddenly felt a faint sting in his heart.

Subconsciously, he straightened his back.

"Give me some flesh, give me some blood,

Replace my will like steel and will like iron,

Make me cry, make me laugh,

Let me sprinkle a little wild on this snow.

Hey, yes, because my illness just doesn't feel anything,

Hey, hey, let me sprinkle some wild ground on this snow. ”

Unconsciously, Geng Le's Erlang stopped shaking, and his expression began to become more and more serious, while Ma Aishu stared at the attached song page in his hand, looked at the lyrics, and frowned slightly.

As for Xiao Aiguo, he rubbed his nose expressionlessly.

is still the same sentence, don't care how everyone doesn't deal with it, but if you really want to talk about the understanding and grasp of rock music, it's hard for others to say, the troika of the Flying Band Xiao Aiguo, Ma Aishu and Geng Le, must still be the top group of people in China, so whether a rock work is good or bad, they can definitely feel it.

"I'm not wearing any clothes or shoes,

But I can't feel the strength and strength of the northwest wind,

I don't know if I'm walking or running,

Because my illness just doesn't feel anything.

Give me a little stimulation, Doctor,

Give me some love, my Miss Nurse,

Make me cry, or make me laugh,

Let me sprinkle a little wild on this snow.

……”

…………

The first song, which lasted for seven and a half minutes, finally ended, Geng Le's expression was slightly relaxed, and he was even in the mood to laugh, saying: "It's okay, it's not too much, I thought it was all like "Fly Higher"!"

Many people nodded, Zhou Zhao thought about it, and said: "The lyrics are as bright as ever, and the arrangement is exceptionally good." ”

Neither Xiao Aiguo nor Ma Aishu spoke.

It's just that at this time, what is not easy to notice is that Xiao Aiguo slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

This song is very good, but it is not so good that it needs to make him back down or afraid, and even, he doesn't think that this song has made much progress compared to their "Fake Monk" album, except that the arrangement at the beginning is really eye-catching, he even feels that the overall level of this song is not as good as "Fake Monk" and "Flower Girl", and compared to the song "Nothing", it is quite a gap.

At least, he thinks that with the works he has at hand now, he will not fall behind.

Of course, when he heard this song, he already knew that in fact, his previous worries were completely confirmed - analyzing Li Qian's past albums, he knew that he was really a little guy who played with all kinds of styles and orientations, so it is impossible for any of his albums to have only a style like "Once You", or only a style like "Fly Higher".

In every album he has ever made, the works that are responsible for literature and art and improve the quality of the whole album, and the works that are responsible for expanding the audience and improving commerciality and popularity, are always matched together.

Therefore, in his album, it is impossible to only have pop rock like "Fly Higher".

Although I also know in my heart that as long as I work hard to make an album, I don't have to think about who the opponent is, or even whether there is an opponent, and I don't have to think about winning or losing in my heart, but I have to say that from the initial hope to use the conflict between each other to improve the mood for myself and the whole band, to the increasing pressure later, and then to the ecstasy in my heart after hearing "Fly Higher...... Xiao Aiguo actually knows better than anyone else in his heart that his mentality is no longer normal.

If ten years ago, he always hoped that there would be a few more people in the rock circle, how could he have such a desire that other people's albums would not be too strong?

However, there is no way, he knows that he will give all his strength, but he will still subconsciously hope that the opponent can be a little worse than he imagined.

…………

The second song of the new album of the Four Beauties is called "Start Again".

The same high level as always, the same high level of lyrics, the same high level of composition and arrangement, and the same high level of weird, chic but endearing tones.

"I have my feet on the earth, and I have the sun on my head,

I pretend that I am the only one in this world,

I close my eyes, I lean against the wall,

I pretended I didn't have a head on my shoulders.

Lalala...... Lalala......

I don't want to leave, I don't want to exist,

I don't want to live too realistically.

I want to leave, I want to exist,

I want to die and start all over again. ”

Unconsciously, Geng Le's Erlang leg had been put down, and even he couldn't help but have a serious face and a solemn expression.

And Ma Aishu, at this time, seems to have fallen into the lyrics, lowering his head, staring at the lyrics, I don't know if I am reading or wandering.

Xiao Aiguo felt that his heart was beating faster and faster.

For a moment, he felt as if his breathing was out of rhythm, and he needed to catch his breath from time to time to keep himself from suffocating.

By the end of this song, in fact, only two of the ten songs on this album had passed, and the time was only twelve or thirteen minutes, but for Xiao Aiguo, it seemed that a long, long time had passed - finally, the second song "Start Again" ended, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, shook his neck, adjusted his sitting posture, and prepared to meet the challenge of the next song.

At this time, the third song has already started very quickly.

This song is called "A Red Cloth".

At the beginning of the song, there was not too much abnormality, but Li Qian's singing made Xiao Aiguo silent, and finally couldn't help but widen his eyes all of a sudden.

***

The second is even more served!

It's already more than 10,000 words, and you're completely tired and paralyzed.

Okay, my work has been overdone, and now I can finally go to sleep, and as for the monthly pass, I'll leave it to you!

See you tomorrow!(To be continued.) )
