Chapter 21: It's Interesting
Su Xueqiao's call came at an inopportune time, because Li Dong was in a bad mood now, mainly because he was very dissatisfied with the band rehearsal.
In fact, after two days of rehearsals, it has gradually gotten better, and the band is running in well.
Anyway, I really can't find anything wrong with the rehearsal and performance of the whole song, and there is no problem with the rhythm and melody.
After all, they are all from the Imperial Royal Academy, and their musical skills are very deep.
But I don't know why, Li Dong feels that something is still missing.
As for what is missing, he can't say yet, in short, it just doesn't feel right.
He found some of the world's most famous rock songs, listened carefully to them, and finally found the reason.
The rock of this world sings mostly about youth, love and poverty, as well as the so-called nostalgia for talents, or not being understood, despising popular music, and so on.
Anyway, compared with the rock and roll of the previous life, it is simply sunny and snowy.
In the past life, many folk singers wrote lyrics that were sharper and deeper than them.
Li Dong is not a rock fan, and the spirit of rock and roll has never taken root in his heart.
At that time, his interest in rock and roll came more from doing some intense actions to vent his emotions with manic music at the performance scene.
The second is to package yourself as a person who knows rock and roll to increase the chances of flirting with girls.
But after all, he has personally experienced the whole process of rock music from gestation, maturity, prosperity, decline, vacuum, and struggle.
In the 80s of the previous life, the whole society was in an era of change.
That kind of earth-shaking change, even those who have experienced it firsthand, cannot describe it in words.
In the face of this magnificent and unprecedented new era, people's hearts are restless, full of confusion and hesitation.
In such a background of the times, Lao Cui's song "Nothing" is like a bowl of cold water, poured into a pot of oil that has long been boiling hot.
Because the rock music of that era was full of resistance, criticism and dissatisfaction.
So rock at that time was described as an iconoclastic tool, music that rebelled against mainstream ideology, commercial establishment, and cultural hegemony.
The rock music born in such soil, the situation of those old cannons can be imagined.
A group of down-and-out old cannons, living a poor life, holding shabby musical instruments, and heart-rending screams, tragically interpreting the hesitation, unwillingness and uncompromising in their hearts.
Thinking of this, Li Dong finally knew what the band lacked the most.
Li Dong may not have the unruliness of those rock veterans, and he does not have the innate sense of resistance of rock music in his blood.
But his state of mind at this time really needs a channel, and he wants to vent the resentment accumulated in his heart during this time.
And rock music, a simple and direct form of expression, is exactly the right way.
So he kept explaining his ideas to the members of the band.
But if you want to make this kind of thinking completely understandable to the band, how can you say it clearly in a few words.
So Li Dong began to become inexplicably irritable, and there was an evil fire in his heart, which could erupt at any time.
And the band really can't find anything wrong with him, everyone is cooperating more and more tacitly, and the level of Li Guangnan and others is definitely good.
But he couldn't clearly interpret what Li Dong wanted to express.
Now the band is a whole, and without the cooperation of the band, he can't play alone.
He really can't fault the members of the band technically.
Hu Guangsheng has practiced jazz drums, which has worked hard, and the skills and details are very exquisite, but he just doesn't have that emotion, and the appeal is not enough.
Li Guangnan has been playing the guitar for many years, He Guangwei's keyboard is also good, although the technique is not said, but the more he plays, the more oily he becomes, they are all experienced old guys, what passion can he have.
Now Zhu Yuanyuan is becoming more and more stylish, cold and depressed, but it is also a little bit worse, but it can't break out.
There is only one day left before the school celebration party, which also makes Li Dong very irritable.
"Stop ......"
Li Dong shouted, turned to glare at Hu Guangsheng.
The man with glasses was numb at the sight of him.
"I ...... What's wrong......"
Li Dong said in a deep voice: "You are not wrong, but your drums are as obscene as your people, what about your emotions, what about your contagion, you can't burst out with a little passion." ”
Hu Guangsheng was a little confused by Li Dong's words.
"Boss, I'm ......"
"You're a wreck, you were, you are, and you're ...... future."
The man with glasses was scolded inexplicably by Li Dong, and his emotions became a little excited.
Li Dong rushed over in a few steps, pointed to his head, and shouted loudly: "If you are not convinced, you will use a drumstick to hit here, do you dare...... You're just a wreck, you know to hide and peek at the girl, you know to go to the girls' dormitory to peep, except for masturbation, have you ever been on a girl?"
Hu Guangsheng stood up violently, holding the drumstick tightly with both hands, and glared at Li Dong with red eyes.
Li Dong looked at Hu Guangsheng and said with a sneer: "If you want others to ignore you as a wreck, then play the drums well, play with your heart, and play with your life......"
At this time, Hu Guangsheng was already in tears, and he yelled at Li Dong: "I don't know how to ......"
"Then when you play the drums, think about those girls who look down on you, those who hate you and treat you as a toad, are you willing to be a nest for the rest of your life? If you are still a gentleman, take out your skills, let those girls listen to your drums, and they can't help but want you to them. ”
After Li Dong finished speaking, he looked at the stunned autistic girl again, and frightened her so much that she hurriedly lowered her head.
"You don't even dare to see people every day, you can't talk about it, don't think that you are autistic, others will sympathize with you, in their eyes you are a useless waste, what is there to live. ”
Li Guangnan and He Guangwei next to him hurriedly pulled him aside, the man with glasses is fine if he dies, but this girl can't stand this, and if she doesn't get it, she will kill someone.
Li Dong shook them off violently and yelled, "You are the same, I can't feel that emotion......"
When he said this, he took a deep breath, and then said: "My family is bankrupt, my parents are dead, my girlfriend has run away with someone, and now no one looks down on me." The teachers and classmates in the college also treated me as a waste. I was kicked out of the bar, and now I sit on the side of the road every day, supporting myself by singing. They all want to see me laugh, but Lao Tzu is so unconvinced, I must live a personal life and let those guys see ......"
After he finished speaking, he looked at a few people next to him, then sighed, and said very disappointedly: "But I found that working with you people who are content with the status quo can't play that kind of emotion at all." Because even if life is ruined by you, you won't care, you won't resist, you will just close your eyes and enjoy it, and you can find pleasure. ”
Everyone was a little angry by Li Dong's words.
"Boom ......"
At this time, Hu Guangsheng suddenly smashed the cymbal with a drumstick, and then yelled.
"Come ...... again"
Everyone listened to him, was silent for a while, and then everyone took their places to continue rehearsals.
As soon as the drum beat sounded, Li Dong felt the difference, the obscene man with glasses seemed to be a different person, and the drums were all beaten crazy by him.
Li Dong yelled excitedly: "It's a little interesting......"
Immediately afterwards, Li Guangnan's guitar, Hu Guangwei's keyboard, and Zhu Yuanyuan's bass also joined in.
Hu Guangsheng's wild emotions were unscrupulously expressed, and they also infected others, and they no longer cared about any rhythm and melody, and played like crazy.
Li Dong's heart suddenly became excited, everyone's emotions changed, and their emotions were full of resentment, like a flood bursting the embankment, which was released in an instant.
Although everyone's emotions are a little out of control, the rhythm or something has already been messed up.
But Li Dong knew that everyone had found their feelings.
Hu Guangsheng's eyes were as red as blood, and the blood all over his body was boiling.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter where he was, he was the least appreciated.
When he was a child, no one played with him, so he could only practice the drums silently by himself, and he practiced for more than ten years.
Although he was admitted to the highest music school in the empire with excellent grades, his situation has not changed at all, and he is still despised by people.
is at the age of youth and sullenness, and he sees that everyone else has a girlfriend, but he is rejected by others again and again.
He will never forget the look in the eyes of those girls when they refused to talk to him, just like Li Dong said, like looking at a toad.
Thinking of this, a stream of heat rushed from his tail vertebrae to the top of his head in an instant, crackling and exploding in the back of his head, and the man with glasses became even more crazy.
Zhu Yuanyuan's face was gloomy, and scenes of the past also appeared in her heart.
Since she can remember, her mother has forced her to practice the piano, and she can only watch other children play outside.
When it comes to rebellion, other girls will quarrel with their parents.
But she was indifferent by nature, but she chose to be silent and practice the piano like masochism every day, fighting in this way.
As she grew older, she became more and more withdrawn, and finally became even afraid of talking and contacting people.
The only way to vent your emotions is to play the electric bass, and sometimes one play is a day.
These two days are the happiest days of her life.
The originally gloomy life has become colorful, and I can't sleep all night with excitement.
Just now, she was stimulated by Li Dong's words, as if her life had become the same as before, which made her very disappointed.
But when Hu Guangsheng's drums sounded, her heartbeat accelerated, and something in her body seemed to burst.
She subconsciously plucked the strings and played to the frenzied sound of drums.
Her heart was beating faster and faster, and she was getting more and more open.
Unconsciously, she had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and the feeling was getting more and more right, and finally her whole body and mind were put into it.
Li Guangnan and He Guangwei have both experienced ups and downs.
As the two great talents of the academy back then, now they can only be regarded as dismal.
Looking at the classmates who were in the same class as they were back then, all of them were stronger than them, and their original ambitions had long since disappeared.
Because I have experienced a lot, I heard the manic drum beat of the man with glasses, and after a while, the emotions of the two arrived.
When the whole song was played, everyone in the band was panting as if they had collapsed.
"Woo ......"
Hu Guangsheng suddenly howled and cried, crying heartbreakingly.
Zhu Yuanyuan, who was next to her, squatted on the ground, covered her mouth and cried.
Li Guangnan was even more vulnerable, found a chair and sat down, took out a cigarette, but couldn't light it, and cried when he lit it.
Li Dong took off his guitar, found a place to sit next to him, took out a cigarette and took a hard puff.
Although physically and mentally exhausted, the mood is indescribably sour, and the band finally found some feeling, and finally has some rock taste.
In fact, today he played a risky move, if it didn't achieve the effect, it was possible for the band to disperse.
So he kept sweating, but fortunately, the final effect was good, and everyone found the feeling.
Especially Hu Guangsheng was stimulated by him as if he had changed as a person, which can be regarded as a breakthrough in the realm.
