Chapter 44: Rust
For dinner, I ordered fast food, including barbecued pork rice, chicken thigh rice, and beef brisket rice. In the band lounge of the gymnasium, the musicians were hungry and ate 3 portions per person. Fang Yan didn't bother to eat, listened to the song and read the score, and asked Xu Yong if he didn't understand.
"Sensei is so serious, it's okay to play it wrong, and no one listens anyway. Xu Yong taught him.
"Good. ”
After a brief rehearsal, several of the band's brothers thought Fang Yan's skills were good and low-key. The hostility has long since dissipated, and there has been much more intimacy in the conversation. Fang Yan called Yuan Yuan and told her to accompany her later.
"Oh. ”
"I play guitar for a band, they are short of people, I think it's ......"
"Then don't come. Yuan Yuan was very angry and hung up after speaking.
“……”
Yuan Yuan was very dissatisfied. Today is her 20th birthday, perhaps the most precious birthday of her life. Her parents, relatives and friends from afar called her to bless her, but she was always uneasy. She promised her classmates and called Fang Yan to come over in the evening to meet with everyone.
In the class, Yuan Yuan is the youngest, stupid and kind, so he is very popular.
In recent days, Yuan Yuan's behavior has been very abnormal, she is silly when she has nothing to do, she goes out early and returns late, and she also brought back a set of boys' sportswear last Sunday and turned it in the washing machine. The roommates all know that this girl has a condition.
"The men couldn't be relied on, and they left, half past five. Eat and go. Roommate Liu Zheng pushed her.
"Oh. ”
This time the birthday party was very strong. There were 18 girls and 7 boys in the class, all but one who returned to his hometown. The students have to have a big buffet and then go to KTV.
The meal was very embarrassing.
Yuan Yuan was still smiling at first, but after a few minutes, her mood fell to the bottom, and she could never get out again, and she could die of sadness at any time. A long dining table was also shrouded in dark clouds.
Promised me a long time ago.
She thought of many possibilities, Fang Yan didn't want to see her friend and deliberately avoided it, he didn't want to be too close to him, he was very selfish and unwilling to pay, he was a liar. All the clues point to one: he doesn't care about me.
The girls were disappointed. Of course, there is more helplessness and anger. For a while, Fang Yan had become a heinous sinner.
"He's a bastard!"
"No ......"
Liu Zheng was very distressed, stared at Yuan Yuan's little face, and asked, "He didn't do anything to you, right?"
“……”
Another girl, Zhang Xiaoqing, asked, "Why didn't he come?"
"I forgot. ”
As soon as Fang Yan said that he was going to be late just now, Yuan Yuan didn't listen to the rest of the words.
A large birthday cake was placed in the middle of the table, unopened. The girls all had sad faces. A few boys were eating buffets on the side. I wanted to leave when I was full, but I didn't dare, so I had to team up to play games.
Today is Thursday, and Internet celebrity Yang Zhenyu is waiting for Fang Yan's live broadcast. At 6 o'clock, he also called. After listening to the news of He Yu's concert, Yang Zhenyu was also very excited. He said that the Galaxy Video APP will broadcast the whole process live, and he will watch it online.
After a while, Shen Boyuan called and said, "You said that you've been calling me for a week, and you don't know how to call me?"
"Lao Shen, you watch the Galaxy video, He Yu's concert at 8 o'clock. Do not say. Fang Yan was so busy that he hung up after speaking.
Fang Yan was listening to a song called "Rust".
This is He Yu's new song, written by herself, and ranked 10th. In this comeback, He Yu wrote 2 songs, and the company gave her 3 new songs.
This song is also kind of interesting.
"Rust" is a less commonly used image, in which shiny metal is corroded by the air, giving rise to rust, and slowly being discarded and forgotten.
It is not a love song, but a song written by He Yu to himself. The structure of this song is very simple, only AB, the main song, and the chorus. After that, there's a long stretch of guitar.
But it provides direction.
The first line of the chorus reads: "Rust crawls all over the body, like the monuments of this city." ”
Sure enough, she is a talented woman.
Fang Yan thought about He Yu's beautiful face and fell into deep thought. Maybe He Yu felt rusty. She's miserable, but not as miserable as me. He took out a black ballpoint pen, scribbled and wrote, and changed the lyrics.
"Rust is the gift of time, my last pride. “
Rust is rust, so what.
The melody of this song is also too soft, there are too many turns, and it is a little pretentious, so it is better to go straight.
Fang Yan saw that there was still time, so he tore up another piece of paper, changed most of "Rust" by half, wrote down the new lyrics and melody, and matched it with chords. Much better than the original.
During these two hours, Fang Yan listened carefully to songs, took notes, occasionally played the guitar twice, and did not talk much. The performance was about to start, and Bess Weng Tianxu held a box of lunches and said that there was no time, so let Fang Yan eat quickly. Jason took out a pair of sunglasses, stumbled and spoke Chinese, and asked Fang Yan to put them on.
"Let me wear sunglasses?"
Xu Yong spoke for the foreign devils: "The lights are too bright for a while, and the eyes are dazzling." ”
"Thank you. ”
At 7 p.m., the audience began to enter. At half past seven, the big screen began to play the promotional video. Before Fang Yan took the stage, he really saw the billboard of "Galaxy Video". He sent a WeChat message to Yuan Yuan: "At He Yu's concert at 8 o'clock tonight, I will play the guitar, and there will be a live broadcast on Galaxy Video." I'll be looking for you in a moment. ”
Ji Shanshan asked, "Are you nervous?"
Fang Yan shook his head. The stadium was as bright as day, most of the fans had already entered, and the stands were crowded, and it was so colorful that it was impossible to see their faces clearly. Security personnel stand at various entrances. In front of the stage, several camera seats are empty, as well as two giant rocker arms. The staff was running around.
"Is your girlfriend angry?"
"Very angry. Where is He Yu?"
She thought about it alone. It's been an hour, and I haven't eaten a bite of dinner. ”
Fang Yan took out the modified version of "Rust", handed it to Ji Shanshan, and said, "Sister, when you're done, you give this to her." ”
"What did you write?" Ji Shanshan looked at it and said. "You give it to her yourself. ”
"I've got to go first......"
There were no fireworks, no snowflakes, no holograms, not even warm-ups, guest singers. is extremely simple, but it matches He Yu's temperament very well.
At 7:50, all the lights in the stadium were turned off, leaving only a small stage. Fans began to applaud and cheer, each holding a glow stick and waving it in the dark.
Really...... It's quite a feeling. Fang Yan thought.
Standing on the stage, Fang Yan's eyes were filled with a huge dark space, like a bottomless abyss.
He Yu was still dressed in jeans and a white vest, and slowly walked onto the stage from one side in a scream, standing in the middle. On the big screen is a close-up of her, a delicate, clean, serious face.
"Long time no see," she said. ”
Only four words. I only heard the fans shouting frantically: "He Yu! He Yu ......"
Fang Yan was shocked by the enthusiasm of the fans. It turns out that an idol star, even if he is outdated, has so much energy.
"He Yu!
Fang Yan carried an acoustic guitar on his back, stood in the corner, and began to quickly strump the strings. In the huge gymnasium, only the sound of his piano sounded. In the stands, there was an occasional scream. After 4 bars, the melody of the lead guitar Xu Yong sounded, and the audience was instantly detonated.
He Yu's title song when he debuted 13 years ago, a fast song "No Humor".
On the stage, the lights are chaotic and changeable.
The first song of a concert is usually fast-paced, simple, and the most familiar song to the audience. Quickly set up the atmosphere and get everyone excited. There will be a few small climactic passages in the middle, and the ending is usually also a fast song that brings the atmosphere to the highest point and then ends.
After a long, intense drum beat, He Yu stood in front of Mike and began to sing. First sentence......
Fang Yan was messy.
Sister, you're too out of tune, aren't you? He looked at He Yu's thin and thin body, and he was very devastated. Looking at the rest of the band, they seemed unaware.
In this state, there is no one left.
