Chapter 9 Big Brother, I Can't Do It

Fisherman's Wharf is the name of a skewer bar.

The owner is very thoughtful, the decoration is very exquisite, it seems very stylish, and the price is relatively affordable.

In the hall on the first floor, a small stage was also made.

I have purchased a high-grade stereo, and people who come here can go up and sing a few voices when they are in the mood.

And every weekend, some niche singers and musicians will be found to perform here.

The strong literary and artistic atmosphere has also attracted many men and women who are literary and artistic.

Less than a year after its opening, Fisherman's Wharf has become a gathering place for many young people in Kyoto.

But no matter how stylish it is, it's also a skewer bar, so most of the people who come here are not very happy.

As soon as Li Dong walked into the string bar, he saw Li Guangnan sitting there chatting happily with a few people.

Seeing Li Dong, Li Guangnan stood up and shouted, "Dongzi...... Here......"

Li Dong sat next to Li Guangnan in the past, smiled and nodded at a few people, and said hello.

Today there is an extra man dressed in an unusual way, the kind that can be seen anywhere.

In his thirties, he looks very tall.

Seeing Li Dong nodding at him, he didn't respond, but turned his head to the side.

There are also two girls, who are very beautiful and dressed up very artistically, and they are literary and artistic workers at first glance.

They nodded, but they didn't say anything more, muttering something to themselves, laughing from time to time.

Li Dong felt that these three people, and Li Guangnan and others, were not the same at all, and it was very awkward to sit together.

"Sun Tong, let me introduce you, this is Dongzi, my little brother, who also sings folk songs like you. ”

Sun Tong glanced at Li Dong expressionlessly, and then turned his head to the side again.

Li Guangnan was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect this Sun Tong to be so faceless, and when he used to brag with him, it wasn't like this.

This Sun Tong is also well-known in the literary and youth circles in Kyoto.

Recently, he signed a contract with a niche music company, and now he is being vigorously promoted by the company and is already a fourth-tier folk singer.

Those two sisters, both brought by Sun Tong, are his fellow sisters, a pair of fourth-line folk group singers.

Today is the weekend, they were invited by the boss here to sing, Li Guangnan used to be very familiar with him, so they found a few drinks together.

In fact, Li Guangnan meant to introduce Li Dong to some folk singers, after all, he would have to mix in this circle in the future.

"Sun Tong, you are now famous, don't forget our old brothers. If there is any opportunity to perform in the future, I want to bring my little brother with me, his songs are great. ”

Sun Tong listened and nodded in response.

"No problem, I'll have a chance in the future, Lao Li, I'm going to perform......"

Without saying hello to the rest of the table, he got up and left.

The two girls also smiled at everyone and followed.

"What the hell, paralyzed, just mixed up to the fourth line, I don't know what my surname is. ”

"When I used to borrow money, he pretended to be pitiful, and he didn't even look at me just now. ”

A few people at the table complained dissatisfied.

Li Guangnan was also very angry, when Sun Tong was down, he didn't help him a lot.

Li Dong picked up the wine glass, touched it with Li Guangnan, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you can't make ......"

Li Guangnan picked up the draft beer glass and took a big sip: "Yes, you can't ...... with this kind of goods."

At this time, Sun Tong came to the stage, he briefly greeted a few words, and then sang with a guitar.

Strictly speaking, Sun Tong's conditions in all aspects are good, but they are also good, and they are by no means eye-catching.

The singing skills are a little worse, which is nothing, it is a common problem of folk singers, but many people still like to listen to them sing like this, which seems more pure.

The songs you write are passable, and you can listen to them when you're idle, but don't think about shivering, unless you're listening to them at the moment when you're just finished peeing.

Sun Tong sang three songs, and the two girls also began to perform.

The two girls have a ukulele each, which is quite distinctive, but the singing style is a little weird.

How to put it, people either like it or hate it.

The folk works of this world have the advantage of being exquisite, but they are too exquisite.

The lyrics piled up with all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric and the dazzling melody sound good at first glance, but they also lose the essence of folk songs.

Perhaps the world's music industry is too prosperous, and in the context of industrialized assembly lines and list mechanisms, the original and personalized expression of folk singers is inevitably affected.

Most of the truly touching folk songs originate from the folk market and are the stories of ordinary people.

It's like the song my mother sang when I was a child when I put us to sleep, the most sincere, the closest voice to the soul and humanity.

Therefore, real folk songs are realistic and simple, and often do not have to be gorgeous, but can also be touching and shocking.

If it weren't for the death of his dearest person, the fat man wouldn't have been able to write "Anhe Bridge", that was his childhood memory, and the years with his grandmother, although down, but also the time he missed the most.

If there were no years of hard work, Brother B would not have been able to write "Mr. Van Gogh", when he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars by selling albums, he drank like a confused person, and sang this song hoarsely in the bar, the despair and pathos in the song made people's scalps numb.

If he hadn't had the experience of singing forty-five songs a day and earning eighty yuan, Zhao Lei would not have been able to write that "ideal", and the feeling of listening to him sing that song before he became famous, the spit was full of blood.

The ballads that really touch people's hearts must be the most sincere and simple stories, self-absorption, moaning without illness, and the anguish of not being able to make an appointment, which are not ballads in the true sense.

The niche singers of this world, although not as glamorous as pop singers.

But backed by a huge audience and a thriving music market, even if independent musicians make their own songs and post them online for download and sale, as long as the work is passable, they can sell it.

As long as you don't have the vices of gambling and taking @ drugs, although you can't make money every day, you can still support your family and live a very nourishing life.

And the world in Li Dong's previous life, the drastic changes of the times are magnificent, so that the post-60s, post-70s and post-80s generations seem to have experienced two eras.

With the rapid development of society, people have become impetuous, eager for quick success, mercenary, coupled with rampant piracy and chaotic markets, even pop singers have accumulated popularity by brushing their faces and selling cuteness.

Folk singers live a hard life, which is synonymous with poverty, and legend has it that some singers can't even afford to buy a set, and even open a room with female fans can only go to a small hotel for 50 yuan.

And the folk singers of this world live in an era when the music market is extremely prosperous.

Compared with Li Dong's previous life, those bitter folk singers who have gone through vicissitudes and bumpy musical roads, they have no painful experience, and they seem much more superficial.

Because of this, musicians in this era may be able to easily write a pop song of extremely high quality.

But they have not experienced the era of great change, even if they are talented, they will never be able to write the sincerity, simplicity and simplicity that are closest to people's hearts.

After Sun Tong finished singing, he came back and sat down, picked up the draft beer cup and took a sip, and said to Li Guangnan: "Lao Li, the last song is a song I newly wrote, I am very satisfied with this song, after so many years, I finally feel the pulse." ”

He took another sip of wine, then sat there looking at the people at the table with anticipation in his eyes.

Just say, "Praise me...... Praise me...... Let me pretend to be ......

But what he did just now has disgusted everyone to the extreme, and no one has taken his stubble.

Li Guangnan, these literary and artistic old and young people, although they are not as good as they should be, look naΓ―ve and cute, and seem to have lost their temper, but they are still arrogant and uninhibited in their bones.

This also made Sun Tong extremely unhappy, without your compliments, how can I pretend to be forced.

"Lao Li, what do you think of my song?"

Sun Tong saw that everyone didn't take this stubble, so he simply didn't want Bilian to ask directly.

Li Guangnan smiled and said, "Hmm...... Not bad...... It's ......."

Listening to Li Guangnan's words, Sun Tong's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Huh...... Why do I think buddies are messing around, you guys are not happy, and you can't see others better than you. ”

Everyone listened to his words, and they were all a little angry.

It's just that these uncles have long passed the age of impulsiveness, or they have already fallen on Sun Tong's head with the bottle.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Sun Tong was still energetic.

Now even if no one is holding it, he has to forcibly pretend to be forced, turn on the group ridicule mode, and count the people at the table one by one.

The two girls next to them had already seen that the atmosphere on the table was a little weird, and they sat there watching the play with great interest.

Li Dongzhi didn't take it seriously, he had experienced so many ups and downs in his previous life, and he saw this kind of person the most.

Just like what he said to Li Guangnan just now, it's really impossible to be angry with such a stupid @force.

So he pretended to be a primary school student who had never seen the world, and ate and drank skewers in a big gulp.

He sat here pretending to be tender, but Sun Tong didn't leave him behind.

"Dongzi, right, I see that you are not as old as me, and my senior will also tell you a few words......"

You're a ......

Of course I'm not as old as you, just your old face full of wrinkles, I'm embarrassed to compare with me.

"You're still young, don't think that if you carry a guitar and wear tattered clothes, you think you're a folk singer. I advise you to go back to school and read more books, try to enrich yourself, you can't write good songs without experience, you look at the songs I just sang, they are all things that I have accumulated over the years, and they are full of my blood and tears, so singing them can touch your soul. ”

Li Dong almost laughed out, he really didn't want Bilian......

But he really doesn't want to take care of this tease, and being angry with such a stupid @ force, it's easy for others to misunderstand, thinking that you are also a stupid @ force.

Li Guangnan next to him really couldn't stand it.

"What experience do you have, gambling every day, picking up girls, being so poor that you have nothing, going around to cheat money, if this is also an experience, then you can write an autobiography. Dongzi's songs are much stronger than your broken songs, and every song can hit me. ”

Li Dong was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Li Guangnan, who still wanted to continue, and shook his head at him.

Sun Tong was afraid that others would expose his old background, especially in front of his two junior sisters in the same company.

shouted loudly: "Hehe...... Lao Li, let him go up and sing a song, I want to hear it, what is better than my song. ”
