Chapter 180: Night Singing
As the corridor keeps moving forward, portraits, names, classic scenes, with Wen Weizhe's explanation, and everyone tells a golden age of Xiangjiang music, countless superstars have held concerts here, countless commemorative activities have been held here, it can be said that the history of the Red Pavilion is the history of the development of Xiangjiang music, from the beginning to the development to the peak and then to the decline, time has no water, there is always no word, only the images left behind, telling the world that this place was once brilliant.

Walking in it, Lin Qihua also felt deeply, this is a living historical blockbuster.
"If we can also have such a venue, how great would it be?" Lin Qihua's heart moved, although he felt a little whimsical, but what if it really came true? Think about it, Galaxy Entertainment has such an exclusive venue, which can hold various concerts and activities on a regular basis, and every important artist of the company can leave their own historic moment here, many years later, he has faded out of the entertainment industry, and he has forever engraved himself in this venue, what should it be like?
When I think of this, I can't help but be fascinated. After thinking about going back, I will discuss this matter with Sister Qin and them, and if there are conditions, I can try it.
Walking into the venue, a very modern venue appeared in front of everyone, there is no pillar in the whole hall, all the movement is in full view, there are 4 auditoriums, the field is a concrete floor with a side length of 43 meters, according to Wen Weizhe's explanation, when you need to hold a concert, you can build all kinds of combined performance stages at any time, set up a high-hanging central TV projection system and all kinds of new stage and technical equipment, the degree of specialization, not lost to the world-class concert venues.
"To this day, Xiangjiang still has a group of highly specialized staff needed for the entertainment industry chain, but unfortunately, the creation and market of music and film and television products in the most upstream have no way to find a way to revivenation. Wen Weizhe seemed to be very sentimental today, and expressed his regret for Xiangjiang music many times.
Lin Qihua can only be silent, he doesn't know how to comfort him, he can't say, don't care, the whole country is a game of chess, as long as Xiangjiang Music takes the initiative to integrate into the mainland entertainment industry, it can always find a more suitable way, right?
Fortunately, Wen Weizhe was only sad for a while, and after leaving the Red Pavilion, he quickly became active again, pointing to various unique buildings on the side of the road and introducing them to everyone.
In about half an hour, everyone came to the top of Taiping Mountain, and what Wen Weizhe wanted to take everyone to see was the wax museum in the Lingxiao Pavilion.
"Located in London, England, the Heung Kong Branch opened in 2000 and has a history of nearly 70 years, and has been restored many times, and is still one of the most important and popular places in Hong Kong, with about 200 wax figures of international, Chinese and Hong Kong celebrities on display. Wen Weizhe took everyone to explain while walking, "It is divided into 10 exhibition areas, including charming Xiangjiang, people of the year, world premieres, sports generals and music superstars, etc., among which music superstars are some superstars with certain influence in the world, Huaxia and Xiangjiang." β
There were many guests at the scene, and everyone looked at the wax figures, all of which were full of interest.
In the area of music superstars, Lin Qihua and others were pleasantly surprised to see the wax figures of superstars such as Gao Jun and Deng Shuqi, as well as Wang Yalin, Lu Zhixuan and others, which shows that they have indeed been recognized, enough to leave wax figures in this venue and become a part of history.
"Classics live on. Wen Weizhe commented.
"Hey, you have that too. Lin Qihua pointed to one of the wax figures.
"That's it, I'm also a well-known singer, although there is still a bit of a gap with superstars, but in Xiangjiang, I still have enough popularity. Wen Weizhe naughtily walked up to his wax figure and asked Lin Qihua to give him a close-up of a group photo.
The real person and the wax figure stand together, the face is almost the same, if you suddenly see it, it is really easy to be frightened, it can be seen that the wax figure is exquisitely made, that is, it can be fake.
There are also famous historical figures, sports generals, etc., one by one, as if they are in history, everyone has left their own mark in history, or rather, they themselves are a piece of history, through contact with historical celebrities, visitors will get an exciting and bizarre journey, where visitors can really feel the celebrities of various periods, here people have an illusion of time reversal, can experience the times and events in which these celebrities live, can satisfy people's strong curiosity. This may be the reason why this place has endured.
Everyone had a lot of fun and kept taking photos with their favorite characters, and Lian Yuling was no exception, she took photos with many international superstars, and there were a lot of smiles on her face.
In the charming Xiangjiang area, there are more programs waiting for everyone, not only wax figures, but also different scenes and role-playing services provided by the wax museum, which is very attractive.
"In fact, with your strength, sooner or later you will be able to become a superstar and leave a wax figure here. Wen Weizhe said with a smile, "Needless to say, Miss Lian, although I am not very familiar with it, but judging from the second game alone, I can feel your unfathomable strength, coupled with your own advantages and Qihua's amazing creative talent, you will definitely have a place here in the future." β
"We are very confident in this. Lin Qihua nodded, "What I hope more is that our country can design similar venues or memorial halls, and engrave important people and events in history in a similar way, then I will be happier." β
Wen Weizhe was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly, "It's the same, hopefully." β
"Yes, at least our company will find a way to do this, maybe on a smaller scale, but it is more meaningful for ourselves," Lin Qihua said with a smile, "Of course, we are also honored to be able to leave a wax figure here." β
Wen Weizhe and Lian Yuling both glanced at Lin Qihua deeply, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
Lin Qihua was thinking about the topic that Lu Zhixuan and others were talking about, what kind of large-scale reforms would there be? Will there be similar proposals?
After the wax museum tour, the time was not early, everyone returned to the hotel to rest, and in the evening, Wen Weizhe invited everyone again to take a cruise ship and have dinner while visiting the beautiful night view of Victoria Harbour.
He was accompanied by two friends he had invited to accompany him.
"These are two of my friends, and I have specially invited them to accompany them. He introduced the two to everyone, "Xu Zelun, a famous music critic in Xiangjiang, and Tan Xue, a famous singer in Xiangjiang. β
"Hello. Lin Qihua smiled and shook hands with them, "Thank you for your hospitality." β
Xu Zelun's face was not very good, he snorted and shook him lightly, then let go and turned his head, making Lin Qihua a little baffled.
Tan Xue was more enthusiastic and took the initiative to chat with Lian Yuling.
The cruise ship prepared by Wen Weizhe is very luxurious, and the group sits on the top floor, and can see the beautiful night view, the sea breeze, which is quite comfortable.
The waiters take turns serving a plate of exquisite dishes, which are very hearty, and there is a band playing beautiful music on the side, so that people can relax the whole body.
"Come, Qihua," Wen Weizhe smiled and toasted, "I am deeply honored that you can come to Xiangjiang and find me as your tour guide, I know that you strictly abide by the requirements of not drinking alcohol, so I don't force it, the first glass, welcome to Xiangjiang, I hope you can have a good time here, and the work will be completed smoothly." β
"Thank you, Brother Wen. Lin Qihua respectfully clinked glasses with him and said, "Thank you for your love for my little brother, I am flattered, it is our honor to be able to come to Xiang**** to study and communicate. β
"Haha, you're too polite, I may not be able to do the rest, but it's still okay to do your best to be a landlord. Wen Weizhe laughed and said with feeling, "This time "Singer" Although I am a round of tours, but my feelings are very deep, I have always felt that my strength is very good, I feel that I can get good results in the competition, but, contrary to my wishes, although there is a factor of luck, but there is no doubt that I do not have enough strength to stand firm, which makes me think for a long time, today's emotion, but also the real idea, I am in Xiangjiang, is one of the best singers, I don't think it is bad, but, what is it? You have Lu Zhixuan, Wang Yalin, About Shengjie and other powerful singers, and a super newcomer like you, Zhang Yuxing of Baodao also made me feel powerless, I don't hate anything, I hate myself, why don't you go to this competition earlier, realize this early, we Xiangjiang Music, we need to open our eyes too much, go to see the music of the mainland to see the music of Baodao, we who used to be the leaders have already been left far behind. β
"Brother Wen has won the prize. Lin Qihua smiled, he didn't want to say anything to him, when Xiangjiang music was outstanding, the mainland slowly started, and what he learned was Xiangjiang music, the difference between the two sides is too great, but, relying on the big market of the mainland, the development speed of mainland music is very fast, quickly surpassing Xiangjiang music, especially after the reform, it is not an order of magnitude at all, and it is normal for him to have such feelings.
"Hmph, Ah WIN, you are like this, always demeaning yourself and exalting others. Xu Zelun, who didn't talk much on the side, snorted and interrupted Wen Weizhe's words, "No wonder you have been saying on various occasions recently that our music is outdated, backward, and needs to change, I said, you are just worrying about the sky, our music in Xiangjiang is different from them, don't belittle yourself." β
"Zelen," Wen Weizhe said with a straight face, "I'm not belittling myself, but I want to face up to reality, we should really put aside our burdens and travel lightly, and have the courage to catch up." β
"Don't be kidding, have the courage to chase after you, what are you chasing?" Xu Zelun sneered, "What's so good about music in the mainland? A group of people who want to sing or not sing, only know how to learn here and there, and finally become a hodgepodge, I don't know what to say, our music in Xiangjiang has a long history, there are many talents, and we insist on making our own music, that's it." β
"You're still the same, I shouldn't have let you come with me," Wen Weizhe glanced at Lin Qihua and the others awkwardly, "I'm sorry, my friend said something bad." β
"It's fine. Lin Qihua smiled and disagreed, "Xiangjiang music and mainland music come from the same source, and each has developed its own characteristics, which is a good thing, both are Chinese music." β
"Ah WIN admires you so much, I think it's average. Xu Zelun squinted at Lin Qihua, "Don't pretend to know Xiangjiang music very well, I guess you can't even understand it, what a super newcomer, I think, are all blown out." β
Shen Manni and the others' faces changed drastically, this is a naked provocation.
Lin Qihua stopped them, this is Xiangjiang, Wen Weizhe is the master, and he always has to give the master some face.
"Zelun," Wen Weizhe got angry, stared at Xu Zelun and said word by word, "Today is my banquet for good friends, not the place and media where you publish your comments, please respect me and my friends, otherwise, our friends will have nothing to do." β
"Alright, all shut up. Tan Xue played a round and pulled the two apart, "Don't talk about this, such a beautiful day, don't spoil the fun." β
After talking badly, the atmosphere finally eased up, Xu Zelun lowered his head and didn't speak, Lin Qihua and the others didn't continue to say anything to him, for this kind of person, Lin Qihua knew that it was useless to say anything, the frog at the bottom of the well, this is Lin Qihua's evaluation of him, obviously the facts are there, but he is still wrapped in the quilt alone, without using his eyes to see and analyze, but he is talking nonsense and talking, Lin Qihua does not feel the need to worry about him at all.
"I'll sing you a song. Wen Weizhe saw that the atmosphere was stiff, and stood up with a smile, "When guests from afar arrive, the host sings a song, which is also an old tradition in our Xiangjiang music scene, please allow me to use my singing voice to express my most sincere welcome to your arrival." β
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Everyone applauded.
Wen Weizhe consulted the performance band on the ship, and chose a song "Friend" to sing, the unique Xiangjiang charm with Wen Weizhe's mellow voice, in the night breeze, floated far away, won the applause of other tourists on other cruise ships nearby, and some people shouted Wen Weizhe's name.
"Well sung. Even Shen Manni and others, who can't understand Cantonese, applaud enthusiastically, and some songs, even if they don't understand it, they can feel the meaning, and Wen Weizhe's song is like this.
Xu Zelun raised his head proudly, as if this song was sung by him.
Lin Qihua smiled indifferently, stepped forward, picked up a guitar, tried to tune the strings, looked at Wen Weizhe and said with a smile, "We also know the rules as guests, and we are still courteous, and I also have a song for my good friends in Xiangjiang, if you don't sing well, please bear with me." β
Shen Manni and the three of them applauded loudly, and Wen Weizhe also smiled expectantly, "I like Qihua's scene the most, and I'm looking forward to it." β
Lin Qihua waved his hand and signaled to the band that he could come, and the band had not heard the next song, so it was naturally impossible for him to accompany him.
Sit down in front of the microphone and pluck the strings with your right fingers, and gently beat to the sound of the guitar under your feet.
"It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
There are many dangers and deceitful faces
There is a little shared glory
The water drops on the side of the eaves are not different"
As soon as the song sounded, everyone was stunned, this turned out to be a Cantonese song.
Wen Weizhe glanced at it with a wry smile, he knew that Lin Qihua was angry, but he expressed it in this way, which is good, this old friend should be taught a lesson.
"Qihua can even speak Cantonese?" Shen Manni and the others were frightened, and then they became excited again, and turned to Xu Zelun, who had a stinky face on the side: Aren't you sarcastic that Qihua can't even understand it?
Only Tan Xue tasted the taste of the song: I had never heard of it, and it was a very pure taste of Xiangjiang.
"Frog in the well of ignorance
In vain
Empty smug eyes like numbness
Who would have thought that the golden house would become a tile?"
Those ignorant frogs at the bottom of the well, bent on raising their reputation and worth, when they are triumphant, their eyes are like numbness, but they are empty in an instant, and the golden house is a tile.
Wen Weizhe and others also slowly put aside other thoughts and carefully realized the meaning, this is not an inspirational song, it is not so motivated, and even a little detached between entering the world and being born, but it is very unexpectedly pointed to the heart, making people feel identified from the heart, and this is exactly the state of many ordinary people: admit reality, reluctant to struggle, and do not lose humanity. And this is precisely the concept that Xiangjiang people have always admired, and it has always been a private living state of Xiangjiang people, but it is vividly expressed in Lin Qihua's singing.
"Sometimes it has to be
There is no time in life to ask for it
Thunder and wind and rain
Why be afraid
The heart is fair and flawless
Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is the happiest."
In the dark, fate has its own arrangement, and what should be there will eventually be obtained; if it is destined not to be obtained, there is no need to force it; thunder rumbles, wind and rain, do not be afraid.; kind-hearted, treat people fairly, as flawless as Baibi, and do good deeds and accumulate virtue is the happiest thing.
The lyrics full of ancient style, simple and beautiful melody, in the night breeze, are particularly beautiful, and like a panacea, which can make us look at all kinds of depression and entanglement in the world more indifferently, like a waking breeze on the side of the mountain, and a plain cloud on the horizon. Maybe you have to go through a lot before you really understand that what should come will come eventually, and there is no need to wait for those who don't come. Don't be surprised to see the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and go to stay and have no intention of looking at the clouds in the sky.
The sound of the piano was long, Lin Qihua whistled gently, and everyone on the boat also clapped their hands gently along with the melody, such a beautiful melody made people intoxicated.
"Sometimes it has to be
There is no time in life to ask for it
People are more than the sea of sand
Don't worry about it
You can see the sunset in the sky
The name and interest are like atomization
You can see the sunset in the sky
The name and interest are atomized"
People are as small as grains of sand in the sea, so there is no need to worry too much, you see, fame and fortune are like the sunset in the sky, and the rest of the day is like a fog.
After Lin Qihua finished singing the last sentence, he smiled and said, " I am full of admiration and affection for Xiangjiang music, they have created countless classic music in the last century, leading the first music trend in the Chinese music scene, Cantonese songs, singing, are full of ancient rhyme, so that the mouth is fragrant, therefore, I am full of respect for all the musicians who adhere to Xiangjiang music, but the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind, while sticking to it, we must also see the development trend and trend of world music and even Chinese music, take the initiative to integrate into it, and create the glory of Xiangjiang music, I think, with the profound heritage of Xiangjiang music, it is not difficultγ β
"In fact, nowadays, there are many Xiangjiang singers and actors who have chosen to go north to seek development, are they turning their backs on Xiangjiang? No, it's because they understand that the convergence of the Chinese music scene is the trend of the times, since Xiangjiang music can't become the mainstream of the Chinese music scene again, then don't force it, but should find a way to integrate into the Chinese music scene, give full play to the advantages of Xiangjiang music, and create brilliance. β
"Finally," Lin Qihua looked at Xu Zelun and smiled slightly, "Xiangjiang dialect, I can not only understand it, but also speak and sing, I would like to dedicate this song to Brother Wen, thank you for your hospitality." β
Xu Zelun's face turned purple in an instant, if Lin Qihua said something else in front of him before, he would not hesitate to fight back, but in front of such a song, in front of the deep recognition in his heart that he felt that it was a rare good song, he couldn't pull his face to deny this, so he could only gently pat his palms and accept Lin Qihua's words.
Wen Weizhe clapped his hands, got up and hugged Lin Qihua, "You scared me a lot, your Cantonese words are correct and round, you speak very slippery, and you sing even more." β
"I'm playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and I'm playing with a big axe in front of Lu Ban, and I'm smiling and generous. Lin Qihua said with a smile.
If this is also called self-restraint, then many of us will be ashamed of ourselves. Wen Weizhe laughed, "I didn't expect you to also compose Cantonese songs, it's really a genius, a very good song, I like it very much, and I really want to sing it in front of other Xiangjiang people, persuade and enlighten them, don't you mind?"
"Of course, it's my pleasure, I'll give you the score when I get back. Lin Qihua said with a smile, thinking that he had learned Cantonese seriously before he came, and the nebula in his mind also appeared Cantonese songs many times, and he listened to it a lot, and he liked it tightly, and he just wanted to come to Xiangjiang this time, so he wanted to learn Cantonese in case of emergency, but he didn't expect to use it at this time.
"You are right," Wen Weizhe sighed, "there are times in life that must be there, and there is no time in life to force it, the decline of Xiangjiang music is caused by the development of the times, we are desperately guarding this glory and standing still or even resting on our laurels, it is a very wrong thing, untie this knot, and take the initiative to integrate into the general trend of the development of the Chinese music scene, so as to have the opportunity to truly revitalize Xiangjiang music. β
"Where?" Lin Qihua said with a smile, "I just have feelings, and I sincerely hope that a pearl of the Chinese music scene will not disappear in the vast trend with the development of the times, and diversification is the advantage of our Chinese music. β
