Chapter 14: Big City, Little Love

On Tuesday night, "June Rain" relied on the double grand recommendation of Jiangcheng Music Network and Suzhou Provincial Music Network, and rushed to the first place on the new music playback list of Suzhou Province in one go, with a cumulative playback of up to 10 million, and the growth trend is unabated, and at the same time it has generated a huge profit of millions, even if it is shared equally with the website, Jiang Li and the three of them will make a net profit of 500,000, and it is only two days before and after.

The interview fee of 30,000 yuan arrived the next day, Jiang Li took it all out, and then took a rare trip home, after lunch, he put a stack of 100 yuan bills on the table, and said: "Mom, xiexie, you bought me a mobile phone, I like it very much, this, supplement the family......"

Shui Mengying was stunned for a long time, her eyes were moist, and she murmured: "Son, good son, you have grown up...... Mom, Mom is very happy!"

Jiang Shui Ripple looked at the stack of money curiously, suddenly pursed his lips, and hummed: "Even if you give money to Ripple, you won't be happy, I want my brother!"

"Silly girl, ignorant, manly husband, ...... for the cause"

Shui Mengying suddenly stopped talking, in fact, she didn't want Jiang Li to stay at home and continue to live happily together as a family like before, but the young eagle has grown up, and the path he chose is still very unusual, so he should let him go to a broader world to explore and soar, and he can't always be chained to the nest.

Jiang Li rubbed the rippled little head dotingly, and the girl deliberately turned her head away from looking at him, but she had an expression of enjoyment.

"Mom, Dad, Ripples, these days, there is really very little time to spend with you, I hope you can understand, when I am busy with the things at hand, I will definitely go home. ”

"Liar, big liar!" Ripple ran into the room in a huff.

"She'll be fine for a while, leave her alone, you go, and you can't stay, but you will make her cry. Seeing that Jiang Li was about to get up, Dad Jiang said expressionlessly, only the frequency of his fingers tapping on the table revealed a little of his mood.

Although he couldn't bear it, Jiang Li had no choice but to leave in the end, Shui Mengying stuffed five thousand yuan in his schoolbag, and said: "How can you give all the money to the family, and you have to keep some spare for yourself, don't you?" Remember, when you interact with girls, you must be willing to spend, your father is too picky, if there is no other suitable object, I won't follow him!"

Jiang Ripple lay on the windowsill, looked at Jiang Li and Zhang Nara who walked out of the corridor together, and said to the plush toy pressed under him: "Hug the bear, you say, Ripple is not sensible, my brother must be very tired of writing songs, how can I be angry with him, obviously Ripples, I like my brother so much, but ......"

A few crystal tears quietly dripped on the black eyes of the hugging bear.

In the afternoon, the third class, practical music lessons.

Everyone rushed to the first music room early, and it wasn't until the class bell rang that Shu Yutong was late, she glanced at Jiang Li's position meaningfully, and then bowed as usual and played live, this time on the guitar.

The music played was none other than the accompaniment to "June Rain".

When Shu Yutong said lightly, "Who wants to come up?", everyone turned their heads to look at Jiang Li almost immediately.

A girl plucked up the courage to take the lead and shouted, "Please Jiang Li play!"

This immediately formed an unstoppable wave, and even worse, someone proposed to let Jiang Li sing while playing the guitar, which was unanimously agreed and cheered by everyone.

The situation was pressing, so Jiang Li got up from his seat naturally, smiled at everyone, and said, "Thanks to everyone's love, Jiang Li is not talented, and he is willing to give it a try." ”

Jiang Li walked in front of Shu Yutong, only to see her take out the haode ten-hole harmonica that she had prepared long ago from her shoulder bag, also known as the blues harmonica or blues harmonica, which is a classic match with the guitar ensemble.

The corners of her mouth hooked a meaningful arc, and she dared to deliberately play the accompaniment of "June Rain", in order to induce her classmates to invite him out.

"Yutong, you have learned badly, do you learn from poetry?" Jiang Li whispered to Shu Yutong, it seemed that the two were communicating how to play together.

was called so affectionately by Jiang Li in class, although he was not heard by other students, Shu Yutong panicked for no reason, and he had never been so nervous.

Jiang Li got closer, and he could clearly see a layer of fine crimson on Shu Yutong's swan-like snow-white neck, which was crystal clear.

He smiled slightly, walked to the side and sat down, holding the guitar on his lap, sitting in a relaxed and casual position, which just fits the type of guitar he is holding in his arms, a folk guitar, a kind of acoustic guitar, full of country atmosphere, is the most civilian member of the guitar family.

Jiang Li didn't stumble into it by mistake, but in the past few days, he really studied the "Guitar Basic Course" given to him by Shu Yutong and mastered some basic knowledge, of course, the level is still very bad.

The reason why he dared to come up was because Shu Yutong had played the guitar version of "June Rain" in front of him long ago, and he recorded and improved his proficiency and expressiveness to 100% in the music hall, and the live performance was not a problem at all.

The mellow and bright folk guitar sounded, combined with the melodious tone of the blues harmonica, vividly interpreting the melody of "June Rain", and Jiang Li sang slowly.

The beautiful music flowed like clear spring water from the gap between everyone's hearts, Zhang Nara looked at Jiang Li stupidly, but her nails scratched an obvious mark on the palm of her hand, when can she also play with Jiang Li?

This live performance of Jiang Li and Shu Yutong was filmed by interested students with mobile phones, and then uploaded to the Internet, setting off a wave of imitation, a man and a woman match, the man sings and plays the guitar, and the woman plays the harmonica, if this is a couple, it will be even better.

In the past few days, news about Jiang Li's three people has also emerged one after another, and newspapers and magazines in Jiangcheng and even in Jiangsu Province have reported one after another, and Thursday's "Su Provincial Daily" even devoted an entire page to a grand publication of an exclusive interview with Jiang Li, and the newspaper's sales have risen by 100,000 yuan, which is completely beyond the newspaper's estimates.

For example, after the interview came out, someone commented, "Flashy, pretending to be deep, only sixteen years old, like a master of personal life philosophy, is it funny?"

Then a group of people followed suit, and of course, there were also supporters who stood up to defend Jiang Li, saying that they were superficial, so don't say that others play deep, can you play it?

Jiang Li's remark to the male reporter, "Do you deserve to know?" also sparked a fierce dispute, and opponents said that this clearly exposed Jiang Li's self-willed, not calm and self-righteous character, which was in stark contrast to the calm and modest character in the interview, I am afraid that the former is the nature, and the supporters couldn't help but ask, all of them have been kicked in the face by others, can you still bear it, are you a saint? Why don't you talk about the reporter who has no professional ethics?

Finally, a neutral person couldn't help but say: "A success or failure doesn't mean anything, doesn't it mean that a second song will come out soon? And it will be better than "June Rain", whether Jiang Li is flashy or really talented, time will prove everything, and you shouldn't be too demanding of newcomers. ”

Tang Shishi turned off the computer and said angrily: "This group of people is really idle, ah, I'm angry, we obviously paid so much and did our best to do a good job, but we were still accused of splitting our heads and covering our faces." ”

Jiang Li, who was playing backgammon with Shu Yutong, wondered, "Isn't there still support?"

"Uh...... But don't you get angry when you see those opposing remarks, some of which are simply made out of nothing?"

Jiang Li nodded, and said seriously: "Of course I am angry, but there are hundreds of thousands of people who charge to download, how many opponents did you just see? ”

Shu Yutong dropped a white seed and said coldly: "It's done." ”

Jiang Li was stunned, just now he was only talking to Tang Shishi, and he didn't see the number of roads clearly, and as a result, he made a mistake and succeeded or failed.

"People who are too idle, just like this, can only become losers in life, do yourself well, it is enough, there are thousands of people, can you expect to satisfy everyone?"

Shu Yutong said something surprising lightly, and then said to Jiang Li: "Are you still down?"

"Nope. Jiang Li came back to his senses, grabbed the black chess pieces into the box one by one, and smiled, "I think we can start writing new songs." ”

On Tuesday, he said that he had an inspiration, but at the same time said that he should take it slow and sort out his thoughts, in fact, he was just hesitating which song to choose.

There are many more haode songs than "June Rain", but they can't be too good, otherwise the consequence of making him popular and shocking Shijie will be difficult to end, Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and now he is eye-catching enough.

In addition, the song should be relatively suitable for him, at least at this time, it is not rational to try to sing women's songs.

Jiang Li thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to choose the lyrical title song of the famous Chinese singer Wang Leehom's "Heroes of the World" album - "Big City, Little Love", which has been widely sung and has considerable popularity, and it is also one of his favorite songs.

Wang Leehom whispered in this song, his voice was low and hoarse, revealing a lonely taste, full of magnetism, not easy to imitate, but with the existence of a music palace, this is not too much of a problem.

As soon as Tang Shishi heard that she could create a new song, she immediately put the previous unhappiness behind her, and couldn't wait to say: "Sing it quickly and listen to it, if it is not to this extent, then talk about it." ”

Jiang Li stood up with a smile, paced his steps, adjusted his breath to the best, stopped, and lightly opened his thin lips.

"The ends of the black hair are coiled in a circle, wrapping around all the attachments to you, through the translucent curtain, and the language spoken in the mouth is completely deceitful......"

Because Jiang Li had secretly practiced in private before, and now he sang more smoothly at the beginning, Tang Shishi was dumbfounded when he heard it, and a white piece pinched between Shu Yutong's fingers fell off the chessboard, as if he didn't know.
