Chapter 10: Then Sing It
Sun Tong spoke loudly, and almost all the people sitting in the hall of the bar heard it.
The people who come here, although they don't mix well, are all experts, and many of them are originally singers who sing rock and folk songs.
Everyone looked over here, and some of them were not afraid of big things, and they even followed suit.
"Brother, everyone is arguing with you, go up and sing a song...... The ...... who destroyed the girl"
"Dongzi, don't be afraid...... Sing a song and you won't die, go up and sing it, we support you......"
At this time, the atmosphere in the bar was extremely warm, and no one was well-intentioned anyway, and they all had the intention of watching the tearing drama.
Li Guangnan patted Li Dong on the shoulder and whispered: "Dongzi, this bastard must be killed today, or my brother and I will have to suffocate to death today." ”
Li Dong heard Big Brother say this, so let's sing.
Li Guangnan is really good to him, he treats him as his own brother, and for the sake of his old brother, he has to sing today.
Although he often came here, he never sang here.
Li Dong is a simple person, if he doesn't give money, who sings.
He whispered a few words in Li Guangnan's ear, then took out his guitar from the case and walked up.
To everyone's surprise, Li Guangnan also stood up, borrowed a cello from a friend next to him and walked onto the bandstand.
The people in the bar are a little confused, when did the folk singer get together with classical music, isn't it all a poor guitar, how can he still get a cello.
Li Dong and Li Guangnan muttered on stage for a long time, and the people below were impatient to wait and clamored one after another.
"Huh...... I can't sing it anymore, a broken ballad, what kind of big tail eagle ......"
"Hurry up and sing...... What about ink...... I really thought you were a big guy......"
Finally, Li Dong and Li Guangnan sat down.
"Zebra zebra, give it to everyone......"
The low sound of the piano sounded slowly.
It's still a simple melody and quiet chords, but as soon as the sound of the piano comes out, everyone is impressed.
The simpler the melody, the harder it is to play the feeling.
The people who are messing around here, even if they are not connoisseurs, are literary and artistic young people who know how to appreciate music.
There are also several guitarists of rock bands sitting below, all of whom have been veterans for many years, and the guitars are so good that none of them are afraid to show off their skills.
But with such a simple melody, even they dare not say that they can play Li Dong's current taste.
Everyone could hear that there was a story in the sound of the piano, and there was a little more expectation for this song.
Zebra zebra, don't fall asleep
Show me your injured tail again
I don't want to touch the scars of your wounds
I just want to lift your hair
Zebra zebra you are back to your home
But I'm wasting my cold years
There isn't a single door open in your city for me
I'm going to have to get back on the road after all
Li Dong's hoarse and smoky voice slowly sang a soothing voice.
It's a deep voice, but it's powerful.
It feels like a story that has gone through vicissitudes is being told to them by the boy.
People who listen to the song seem to understand something, and if they think about it carefully, they don't understand, this feeling of unfinished thinking makes outsiders want to stop.
When the song enters the middle section, the low and loud tone of the cello comes in, which instantly fills the whole song with a sense of imagery.
There are deep emotions between lovers, the tenacity and patience in the face of reality without self-pity, the tolerance to fulfill others, and the courage to wander the world.
Everyone substitutes their emotions into the song and is completely addicted to it.
The soothing melody, the hoarse voice, and the low cello seem to have a clear spring, flowing leisurely in the bar.
Everyone was listening attentively, some were confused, some were sad, and some were smiling and crying......
Zebra zebra, do you remember me
I'm a fool who can only sing
Zebra, zebra, you sleep, sleep
I'll leave the North with my guitar on my back
Zebra zebra, do you remember me
I'm a child who is forced to talk about sorrow
Zebra, zebra, you sleep, sleep
I bring your grass back to my homeland
Zebra zebra, don't fall asleep
I'm just a traveler in a hurry
Zebra, zebra, you sleep, sleep
I'm going to sell my house
Wandering the world
When the last sentence was over, there was still a long silence in the bar.
A broken guitar with a very poor tone, almost losing tone, and a cello that is rarely used in this world pop music.
Coupled with a deep and hoarse voice, as well as simple melodies and quiet chords, the combined chorus interprets a deep and poignant story.
Such a song, if it is a different occasion, may not be accepted by many people, and it may be very repulsive.
If music is like a table of hearty drinks, then a ballad might just be a plate of pickles on the corner.
There are no undulating melodies, no heart-wrenching climaxes, no blood-pumping voices, and many mainstream musicians even think that folk songs are not even an entry point in music.
Even the vast majority of ordinary people don't have that state of mind, so they sit down and appreciate it quietly.
But the people here today are all literary and artistic young people who pursue literature and art and have sensitive hearts.
They are idle, their lives are dull, they are constantly repeating, they can't see hope at a glance, and the only thing that supports them is their own rich spiritual world.
As time passed, they became more and more closed in their hearts and began to be out of step with this world.
The laughter and scolding of gags every day seem to be free and uninhibited, but in fact, they are extremely lonely in their hearts.
Such a heartfelt song, a simple story, a plain statement, unfolds quietly.
also made these unsatisfactory literary and artistic youths resonate instantly.
reminds them of their ideals once upon a time, their youth that they can't go back to, and their love that is far away.
The greatest charm of music is that it resonates with people's hearts.
The biggest charm of folk songs is that as long as you can accept folk songs and truly understand them, you can feel a deeper and more delicate resonance.
The power it blooms with is that it doesn't even take a heart-rending scream like rock 'n' roll to shake your heart out.
Fortunately, the people sitting below today have understood.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
Suddenly, there were a few sparse applause in the bar, which became more and more dense and enthusiastic.
Although they were conquered by Li Dong's singing, they were not the little girls in the Qing Bar after all, they were all a group of people with deep experience and twists and turns, so they were very subtle.
Even so, it's already awesome.
It's not so easy to get their approval.
Don't look at these people, they may not be satisfied, but they are all arrogant and unruly.
There are a lot of talented people here, but they'd rather be half-dead than join the company.
Even if they are first-tier and second-tier superstars, when they come here, these people still don't hang.
Now they look at Li Dong with appreciation.
There were even some people with tears streaming down their faces, looking at Li Dong with gratitude on their faces, thinking that he was the one who understood him.
Li Dong is also very excited, he can get their recognition, and he can stand in this circle.
Although he is not a literary and artistic youth, in this world, if you want to be a niche independent musician, you must be recognized by this circle, and then slowly build your own fame.
As long as you have a reputation in this world, those classic tracks in your head in the future will not be buried.
After all, pop music is the mainstream of this world.
Li Dong's choice of niche music is also a last resort, he doesn't want to join the company, and the identity of a niche independent musician is just a last resort.
Li Guangnan also burst into tears at this time, and he personally participated in a shocking performance.
It was the most unforgettable experience in his life, and that kind of transparency and heartiness made him have no regrets in his life.
The two of them got off the bandstand, and they were constantly being dragged over for a drink.
These people listened to Li Dong's song just now, and they were deeply moved, and they really regarded Li Dong as a part of them.
In their opinion, they can write such songs, and they must be the same kind of people.
How do they know that Li Dong is just a pseudo-Wenqing.
So Li Dong also met many people through Li Guangnan, including music, film, media, IT and many other industries, which made Li Dong a little dazzled for a while.
There is even a veteran rock band lead singer who invited Li Dong to have the opportunity to go to their concert to assist.
Even the owner of Fisherman's Wharf came over to join in the excitement for a while and invited Li Dong to come over and sing.
But Li Dong politely refused.
In this kind of place, singers are only invited to perform on weekends, and even if they invite people, three songs are worth 100 yuan.
A fourth-tier contracted singer like Sun Tong can sing three songs here for only 200 yuan.
No way, niche folk singers are just so worthless.
Now Li Dong is mixing well in the Qing bar, although there is no place in the night game, but he is now the first substitute in the night game, and he can replace one or two games almost every week.
He didn't want to miss a chance to substitute by singing here on the weekend.
There are rewards for the night of the mandala, and the most time, Li Dong has more than 500 yuan for the wine he received.
At this time, Sun Tong's face was bloodless, and he felt as if everyone was looking at him mockingly, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Li Dong sang that song just now, and he thought that he would not be able to write it in another ten years.
The two little sisters in his company, when they heard Li Dong sing, were also excited like fan sisters.
After Li Dong and Li Guangnan came back, several people at the same table deliberately praised Li Dong loudly, completely ignoring Sun Tong next to him.
This made Sun Tong even more embarrassed, and his heart was extremely aggrieved.
But this thing is thick-skinned enough, raised his wine glass, and said to Li Dong with a smile: "Dongzi, come...... Brother toasts you. ”
Li Dong pretended not to hear and continued to chat with others.
Sun Tong's draft beer glass was raised for a long time, very embarrassed.
"Dongzi, you can use your brother's place in the future, you just speak. That's right...... Tomorrow I have a performance in Beihe, you can also go over and help my brother stand on the field. ”
Li Dong still didn't hear his words, but Li Guangnan next to him went to his heart.
"Dongzi, is your grandson talking to you...... Lao Sun, are you in Beihe, or are you ......?"
"Tomorrow I will have a show at the Beihe Club, and there are several singers from other companies, including a third-tier singer from Haizhu Entertainment. ”
When Li Guangnan and the others heard this, they were all taken aback.
Haizhu Entertainment is a big music company, the venue of the performance is still the Beihe Club, and there are third-tier singers, which means that the grade of this performance is definitely not low.
Although the third line is only one level different from the fourth line, it is not the same thing at all.
The fifth-line walks all over the ground, and the fourth-line is as many as dogs, but the third-line singers are expensive.
Among the singers in this world, the fourth-tier and fifth-tier singers account for more than 80 percent, but the third-tier ones only account for more than 10 percent, and the gap can be imagined.
Li Dong sneered in his heart, he was not a simple little boy who had just left school.
How can a person like Sun Tong help you for no reason, the biggest possibility is that this guy has taken a fancy to his song.
"Oh...... Thank you, Brother Sun, I have something to do tomorrow, next time......"
After listening to Li Dong's words, not only Sun Tong, but also Li Guangnan and others were stunned.
Li Guangnan kicked Li Dong hard, and then said with a smile: "Old Sun, Dongzi, this kid Dongzi will be fine tomorrow, he ......"
"Big brother, I really have something to do tomorrow......"
Li Guangnan wanted to continue, but when he saw Li Dong shaking his head at him, he could only sigh.
Sun Tong was a little embarrassed, he laughed dryly, and then said, "It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future." By the way, Dongzi...... Your song ......"
Li Dong didn't wait for him to finish, and interrupted him with a smile.
"That song...... Don't sell ......"
