Volume II, 1999, Chapter 74, Reborn

The performance resumed, and this time, with the addition of bass, the music suddenly became full.

During the playing, Li Yuan had only one feeling: cool!

I have to say that genius is genius, although Li Xiang has never read the score, and he has not even heard the complete tune once, but the cooperation is just right, a bass that usually cannot be the protagonist just pops out the flesh and soul.

What's more important is bass, bass, bass.

After saying the important words three times, Li Yuan couldn't imagine that a piano talent could actually play bass!

A bass game reflects not only Li Xiang's versatility, but also his accurate grasp of music.

The song "Reborn" was written by veteran Japanese musician Shitamataro for the Japanese version of the movie "Anxiety Grocery Store", and was later included in the film's soundtrack album.

There are several versions of the album, and Li Yuan just played the pop version, and it was the bass that played the finishing touch in that version.

Thanks to the bass, the melody of the piano and guitar blends together seamlessly, and the slightly chaotic rhythm harmonizes.

After the song was played, Li Xiang's words finally had more.

"It's okay. ”

summed up Li Yuan's performance in four words, and Li Yan said to Shen Zhuyin: "I played it well, and the song was written very well." ”

Shen Zhuyin said politely: "Thank you, but he wrote this song." ”

She said and pointed at Li Yuan.

Li Yan glanced at Li Yuan, who was in a daze, and asked in surprise, "He wrote it?"

Li Yuan looked a little dumbfounded.

You ask the reason? The reason is Li Xiang's evaluation of Shen Zhuyin.

Shen Zhuyin didn't know what Li Yu's sentence "playing well" meant, but Li Yuan knew the weight of that sentence.

You must know that Li Xiang's piano level is the king's rank, so he was named the title of "Prince on the Keys", and in terms of piano performance, only a few people such as Lang Lang and Li Yundi can compare with it.

What's more, with this guy's character, he definitely won't pretend to praise others, he said that Shen Zhuyin played well, that is, it was really great.

Li Yuan was in a daze for a long time, and he didn't hear what Li Xiang said, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Li Xiang was staring at him with a strange look.

"What's wrong?" asked Li Yuan.

"You wrote this tune?" asked Li Xiang.

"Hmm. Li Yuan is thick-skinned enough, and his face is not red and his heart does not beat when he lies. Hawkers, if you have to deceive yourself, this song is adapted on the basis of memory, so it can only be regarded as a reference, right?

Well, Li Yuan felt that he could be a little more shameless.

"It's not pure music, is it? Do you have lyrics? What do you want to express?"

Li Yang asked three questions in a row, thirteen words in one breath, which made Li Yuan a little flattered.

"I didn't think about the lyrics, this time I only planned to record accompaniment, I wrote a novel......"

Li Yuan told the story of Lin Lang in the novel, that is, Matsuoka Katsuro in the original work.

This story is a very classic passage in the original work, and the story goes like this-

Katsuro Matsuoka, the son of the fish shop owner, aspires to become a singer, but he drops out of college before finishing college and gives up inheriting the family's fish shop.

However, Kron's musical journey did not go well, and while returning to his hometown for the funeral of his elders, he wrote letters to the grocery store owner asking for troubles.

Caught between "dreams" and "reality", Krone finally chooses to stick to his dreams with the advice of a grocery store owner (who is actually three young people of the future) and the guidance of his father.

After a few years, Kron, who was still not appreciated, went to the orphanage "Marukoen" to give a condolence performance, and the children were intoxicated by his performance, except for one girl who ignored his performance. Kron performed all the songs she might like, but to no avail, and in the end, he performed his own "Reborn", but the girl suddenly showed interest and took the initiative to talk to him.

That night, the orphanage caught fire due to aging wiring, and at the critical moment, Krone, who stayed in the orphanage, rushed into the fire and saved the girl's younger brother, but unfortunately he was killed.

Later, the girl became a singer, and "Reborn" became her repertoire, which became widely circulated through her singing......

……

Of course, the above is the plot of the original work, and in the version adapted by Li Yuan, some adjustments have been made.

For example, the fish shop has become a vegetable shop, the krone has become Lin Lang, and the time and place have also changed, but as for the main plot, it is retained as much as possible under reasonable premise.

Strictly speaking, this story is also the least altered part of the novel.

……

After Li Yuan finished telling the story, he said: "You ask me what I want to express, what I want to express is probably dreams and courage......

After listening to it, Li Yan was silent for a while, and said: "It's a wonderful story, I will definitely read it after the novel is published." ”

He paused and said, "Tell me about this tune, there should be more than one version?"

"Yes. Li Yuan nodded and said, "I have prepared two versions, one is a pop version, and the other is a country rock." ”

Li Yuan said, fixed the harmonica to the harmonica stand, and played it with a simple strumming of the strings.

Harmonica and guitar are the golden partners of country rock, and Bob Dylan is the best at it. In his previous life, Li Yuan didn't see Bob Dylan's "live" for the first time until he went to collegeβ€”of course, on the Internet, and was immediately shocked, and he began to learn to play the harmonica.

By the way, some people say that Bob's music is folk, but it should be pointed out that rock is actually a complex music system, such as folk, electronic music, pop, heavy metal, etc., in fact, they are all musical elements, although there are differences in the elements, and they can generally be classified as rock and roll.

It is only in China that rock and "noise" are simply categorized as aliens.

……

Playing the guitar and the harmonica at the same time is not an easy task, Li Yuan made several mistakes, but in the end he played it completely.

After the performance, Li Yuan asked a little nervously, "How is it?"

I thought that Li Yang would be all kinds of cynicism, but I didn't expect him to nod seriously and say, "Not bad!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Li Yuan looked at Li Yan carefully, and couldn't see the hidden sarcasm on his face.

"I'm not saying anything back. Li Yu knew what Li Yuan was thinking, and said: "The performance full of emotions is really good." After saying that, he added: "Of course, the technology is really bad." ”

If he didn't make up for this sentence, Li Yuan was uncomfortable, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that it was really a poisonous tongue that would be more suitable for you, Brother Xiang.

……

"Adjust and get ready to record. ”

Li Yan said a word coldly, walked out of the recording studio after speaking, and did not forget to call Shen Zhuyin out by the way.

Li Yan stood in front of the mixer, gestured at Li Yuan through the glass, and saw that he hadn't reacted yet, so he turned on the microphone and said lightly.

"Musicians strive for perfection, but music doesn't have to be perfect. ”

Li Yuan was stunned, his nervousness disappeared in an instant, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

OK。 Li Yuan gestured.

The guitar played, and the harmonica then stepped in......

Under the dim light, Li Yuan's smile narrowed little by little, inexplicable sadness echoed in his chest, and his vision gradually became blurred......

……

"I'm sorry. She said, "I love you, but you can't give me the life I want." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Forget about me, and find someone to live by. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

……

"What's your name?"

A bright red and full lip replaces the pale and unfamiliar ceiling.

"Li Yuan. What about you?"

"Who knows......"

The lips are slightly raised, then fallen.

……

"Wake up, you have no talent! Look at other people's children, look at you again, you don't even have a serious job when you're so old, and you still play the piano, believe it or not, I'll smash it for you!"

The dull and piercing nagging sound of sawing wood is suffocating, desperate, and ...... Wrath!

"Enough!" Li Yuan pushed him open, opened the door, and said coldly: "I'll go, can't I go?"

"Get out! Get out of here, don't come back again!"

……

"Xiao Li, the company is a little difficult this month, you let me slow down, I will definitely make up your salary next month......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Xiao Li, I don't want you to go, after all, you have been with me for so many years, but you see, the company's performance is not good......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

……

"Ahem, do you know what I want to do now?"

"Do what?"

"I want X to love! and you!"

"You're a psychotic!"

"I want to die with you. ”

"Neurotic!"

……

"Hello. The woman walked into the bar, sat down at the bar, and pushed the business card to the woman opposite, "You don't know me, and I don't know you, but we all know him." ”

"He?" the woman asked after a pause, "...... How's it going?"

"Dead. ”

"Oh. ”

"You don't seem to be sad?"

For him, it was a relief. ”

"Hehe, it's too cold-blooded, right?"

"Otherwise, he doesn't like women to shed tears. The woman smiled slightly and pushed over a glass of wine, "Please." ”

"Thank you. What's its name?"

"Passerby. ”

……

"Li Yuan, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up......"

An anxious voice came.

Li Yuan opened his eyes, his eyeballs shook, and a face full of worry gradually became clear.

"Don't scare me, how are you?"

Shen Zhuyin asked nervously with tears in his eyes.

Li Yuan gently touched her head and said with a smile: "What are you crying about?"

"You still talk about me!" Shen Zhuyin said, twisting his face away and handing Li Yuan a few tissues with his backhand.

Li Yuan took the tissue, only to find that his face was full of tears.

"What's wrong with me?"

"You're stunned. Li Yan didn't know when he came to Li Yuan's side, and applauded softly: "If you don't go crazy, you can't live, it's a great performance, it's perfect!"

By the way, I'm recording.

Li Yuan's thinking finally returned to reality.

"Finished recording?" asked Li Yuan.

"What else do you say, do you know how long you've been recording?" Shen Zhuyin said angrily: "Nearly twenty minutes!"

"Huh, so long?" Li Yuan was startled.

"What happened to you?"

"Dead once. Li Yuan jokingly said: "Fortunately, I was reborn ......."

As for whether it's a joke or not, who knows?

Li Yuan rubbed his face and stood up, "I'll hear how it goes." ”

I don't know why, looking at Li Yuan's back, Shen Zhuyin has an illusion that Li Yuan is different now than before.
