Chapter 189: Passion
Mid-September.
On this day, the sales of "The Sky is High and the Earth is Thick" finally broke through the million mark and became a platinum record.
On this day, on the side of Xiangjiang, the news of the preparation for the filming of "Dark War 3" has been confirmed and widely publicized by the media.
On this day, the fifth episode of the audition of "New Songs of China" was broadcast on Mango Satellite TV and major film and television platforms, and its ratings have risen a lot compared with when it was launched, and it has stabilized in the top three of the variety show shows in the same period.
said that it was the top three, but in fact, it was less than 2% of the ratings.
Now the TV ratings are not as good as in previous years, breaking through two points is considered a very popular program, if it breaks through three points, it will be considered a big hit!
If it breaks through five points in this era, it will be a phenomenal program!
It's a pity that except for the Spring Festival Gala, which can far exceed five points, there are very few programs that can exceed five points now.
Online platforms divert too many viewers.
However, ratings are not something that Liu Pian has to worry about, that is what Zhu Yan needs to care about. Liu Liar now only cares about Liu Yi and the three of them being able to sing well about the songs they gave them, and then successfully advance to the next round.
Up to now, the three of them have met the requirements of Liu Liar's performance of their respective songs, so they did not stay in the recording studio for a long time, most of the time was in the classroom, even when they were in the recording studio, they were as idle as if they had nothing to do, chatting and fartizing, blowing water, chatting about gossip, and by the way, teasing Liu Pian and Yan Zhe, two workaholics.
Only Liu Pian and Yan Zhe didn't ask about anything outside the window, and buried themselves in arranging music in order to achieve the most perfection.
Like the piano accompaniment in "You Hide from Me", Liu Liar did not choose software synthesis, but invited a piano teacher from the college to play and record it live.
When recording, Liu Pian suddenly remembered Ye Wenxuan. That guy is from the piano department, known as the little prince of piano, and he got the grade 10 certificate many years ago.
If you let him play the piano, the effect should not be worse than that of the teacher, right?
.......
That night, Liu Pian put on a baseball cap and walked alone to the Blue Rose Bar.
Walking into the bar, Liu Pian was surprised to find that Blue Rose was much more popular than when the Tree Village Music Festival was held last year. He remembered that when he first came here, there were so few guests that he had to lean sideways to borrow a way.
Moreover, Liu Pianan found out painfully that he couldn't find a place to sit, so he could only go to stand in front of the bar.
He stood on tiptoe, his gaze over the crowded heads on the dance floor, and landed on the stage. There, Li Yu and others are performing affectionately.
"Do you love me or not?
I don't know what to say
Do you love me or not
Tear off the hypocrisy and maybe I'll be better
Do you love me or not
I don't know what to do
Do you love me or not?
Wake yourself up and you won't be sad anymore...."
Liu Pian heard that Li Yu was singing "Love Me or Not", which was a rock love song in the album "The Sky is High and the Earth is Thick".
This song is a very popular song on the album and has been widely circulated in the music world, especially in places like bars.
Whenever Li Yu's vicissitudes of voice sang "Do you love me", many people in the audience roared hoarsely. Even if it doesn't sound very good to the willow liar, it has a strange magic that makes it tempt to shout.
There was a middle-aged man sitting next to Liu Pian, in his thirties, who had been humming along with Li Yu quietly, and from time to time he drank a little wine, entertaining himself and being content.
Liu Pian refused some young girls who came up to talk, and also ordered a glass of wine, and listened to Li Yu sing silently.
Tonight he just came over to get together with a few members of the band to celebrate the album becoming platinum. The second is that this year's Tree Village Music Festival will be held soon, and legend has it that the band has received an invitation from the organizer to perform as a guest.
This year's music festival was held a month earlier, probably from mid-October to the end of October, and the location was also changed, to Tanzhou. Liu Pian felt that it was a coincidence, although the music festival was held in different cities every year, but this time it was located in Tanzhou, which "coincided" with his own recorded program.
Maybe I'll have the chance to go to the festival when the time comes.
"Hello. At this time, the middle-aged man next to him suddenly spoke.
Liu Pian smiled and nodded.
"Are you here alone?" asked the middle-aged man.
"No, I'm waiting for my friend. ”
"Oh, come to hear the Legend Band sing?" the middle-aged man curious, "I see you've been staring at them." ”
He was indeed very curious, he saw that many young people looked at those beautiful girls with hunting eyes, and there was no one like Liu Pian. Not to mention that he saw Liu Pian refuse some girls' accostings several times.
Liu Pian nodded, "Recently, I listened to their band's songs, and I thought they sang very well, and I heard that they were in the Blue Rose Bar, so I came over to take a look." ”
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, as if he had found a fellow practitioner, but he immediately sighed again, "I also made a special trip to see the Legend Band, but it's a pity, I've been here for more than a month, and I haven't seen Lin Youjia once." ”
Liu Pianwaner, "Really, that's a pity, I thought Lin Youjia was here." ”
"You're thinking too much. The middle-aged man shook his head, "Lin Youjia is not something you can see if you want to see it, I have inquired, and Lin Youjia has never appeared in Blue Rose." ”
"And you still come often?"
"Isn't it for Lin Youjia?" the middle-aged man said angrily, "Legend has it that the band has a few songs, and only Lin Youjia can sing that taste." Have you heard "Love When You Die"? Li Yu can't sing at all. I'm just waiting for Lin Youcanon to appear one day. Li Yu also said that Lin Youjia is only temporarily absent, and she will always come one day. ”
Liu Pian was stunned, she didn't expect to meet a band fan, and she made a special trip to herself to listen to what he meant.
In fact, he underestimated Lin Youjia's current influence, counting last year's popular "Love When You Die", coupled with the "Heaven and Earth Thick" album, which was also popular this summer, Lin Youjia has become a new star in the music world.
His clown mask also added a bit of mystery to him, and countless people wanted to know where Lin Youjia was sacred.
Legend has it that the status of the band has also risen, and no one in the rock circle knows about them now. Whether you're a fan of pop rock or traditional rock, there's something for everyone.
"Nothing" is a good song praised by the Chinese rock emperor Xu Zige!
Now, the value of the band has long been different from what it used to be, and all major bars in Kyoto have offered high prices to invite the band to sing, but in the end Li Yu still chose to stay in the Blue Rose, a somewhat old bar.
If nothing else, just because when he was down, it was the boss of Blue Rose who gave the band a place, so that a few rock and roll young people were not completely crushed by life, and became several vicissitudes of life today.
Nowadays, the bar is popular, and the credit of the legendary band cannot be buried.
In fact, Li Yu's songs are also very flavorful after listening to them for a long time, and the more I listen to them, the more I feel them, and I need to calm down and listen to them. The middle-aged man smiled, "I was aiming for Lin Youjia at the beginning, and I haven't seen Lin Youjia a few times, so I don't plan to come in the future." It was his songs that kept me alive. ”
Liu Pian: "...... "Well, it's me who is too narcissistic.
"Alas, it's also that I'm too tired from work, and my life is unsatisfactory everywhere, so I can't sleep at night if I don't find a place to vent my emotions. As he spoke, the middle-aged man sang two sentences along with Li Yu.
After singing, he took another sip of wine, and then talked to Liu Pian about the wine, saying how his boss was picking, saying that his wife was lukewarm to him, and he didn't feel it anymore, saying that his current life was the same, how boring, without a little passion, and he felt that he was living a very bad life. He said that he wanted to do some big things, some big things that impressed others, his wife and his boss, to prove that he was not a wreck.
In the end, I was interested, and I talked about which songs of the legendary band are particularly good, and I feel very good.
Liu Pian couldn't even interject, listening to him babble and confide. Although he has never experienced what middle-aged people say, it does not prevent him from being a listener of a story.
At this time, Li Yu took a break after singing, and after a while, Liu Pian's phone rang, and Li Yu asked him if he had arrived.
After talking on the phone, Liu Pian raised his glass and drank the wine, "My friend has arrived." ”
"Bye-bye~~~" The middle-aged man toasted to each other.
"Bye-bye. Liu Pian waved goodbye, "I wish you can find what you want and do your own great things." ”
The middle-aged man's drunken eyes stared at Liu Pian, and the back of the young man in front of him was a little blurred, and finally smirked.
.......
Moments later, Liu Pian changed into a performance costume, wore a mask and wig, and walked onto the stage with an electric guitar in her arms. The iconic clown appearance made the audience stunned, and then a carnival broke out immediately.
"Lin Youjia !!!"
"Damn, Lao Tzu finally met Lin Youjia!"
"Fortunately, I went out to see the yellow calendar today. ”
"It's not in vain that I've been waiting for months!"
"Lin Youjia!, I want to listen to "Love When You Die"!"
"Let's have a song "The Sky is High and the Earth is Thick"!"
Liu Pian said: "Thank you, thank you for your support. I know you've been waiting for a long time, so I'm not going to talk nonsense..."
After speaking, Liu Pian made a gesture without looking back, and then waved his palm down, stirred the guitar, and the song followed suit.
"Love when you die!"
"It's not dripping, it's not happy!"
"How deep the feelings are, only in this way can it be enough to confess!"
The torn song resounded throughout the audience, and people frantically waved their arms, jumped, jumped, and shouted ....
The middle-aged man also saw Lin Youjia, he thought that he would be very excited, he thought that he would rush up and shout like those young people, but in the end he just laughed stupidly.
Vaguely, he noticed that the figure on the stage was very similar to the young man next to him before.
.......
This carnival lasted until midnight. Liu Pian and Li Yu sang differently, but in the end, their voices were still dry.
When they left the bar, many fans chased after them, shouting for autographs and photos. It took Li Yu and the others a lot of effort to protect Liu Pian and escape from the scene.
Afterwards, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Our brothers have been here for so long, and I haven't seen any fans so crazy, you kid is good, you made such a big move as soon as you came." ”
Liu Pian shook his head and smiled, "Uncle Li, if you don't come after a while, everyone will go crazy." ”
"Haha, I don't dare to do this, this is my job, unlike you who fish for three days and dry nets for two days. ”
"There's no need. Liu Pian shrugged, "This album, everyone has shared a lot of money, there is no need to work as hard as before, right?"
"Heaven and Earth is Thick" is now a platinum record, and some of the hit songs have already sold more than a million. Aside from the thirty percent that Hua Yiyun siphoned off, the band's total share was also millions.
According to the original internal agreement, Liu Pian wanted to take half of it, and the other people were each 100,000, and there were hundreds of thousands.
Li Yu and others also discovered for the first time that singing can really make a lot of money.
"It's different. Li Yu shook his head, "The brothers have been singing for more than ten years, and for us, this is more than just a job." Liu Pian, you may not understand, if you don't sing, I always feel that there is something missing in life, and there is no passion. Possible... I'm used to it. ”
Liu Pian was stunned, he suddenly thought of the uncle before, and he also felt that there was no passion in life......
"You're too young to understand. Li Yu smiled, "Later, you will also experience it." ”
Liu Pian shrugged, probably?
Then it's better to let this "later" come a little later.
......
The next day, Liu Pian returned to school, and as soon as she arrived in the dormitory, she fell asleep. Last night, I had already confirmed with Li Yu and a few others, and when the Tree Village Music Festival happened, if the time did not conflict, I would go to participate.
Liu Yi saw that Liu Liar was full of alcohol and looked physically and mentally exhausted that year, he smiled cheaply, and said in his heart that this guy went to find passion last night?
Exhausted so much?
As a result, the work of arranging the music on this day could only be put on hold for the time being. However, Liu Yi and the three of them still went to the recording studio on time to practice nursery rhymes for a while.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Liu Pian woke up faintly, but he was woken up by Liu Yi's phone call.
"Willow liar, are you awake?"
"Wake up, you guys wait first, I'll go to the studio later. ”
"Okay, hurry up, someone is digging into your corner and cuckolding you. ”
Liu Pian was stunned: "?????"
I don't even have a girlfriend, who can cuckold me?
