Chapter 28: Stubbornness
Lu Chong seized four guitars from the Yuan Dynasty band, selected one with the best tone from them, carried it around his waist, pinned the microphone in front of his collar, and began to sing himself.
His guitar sound is sonorous and powerful, and his voice is clear and passionate, which seems to be even better than the lead singer of the original song: "When I am different from the world, then let me be different!" Persistence for me is to overcome the gang with gang! If I compromise with myself, if I lie to myself, I can't forgive even if others forgive me. The most beautiful wish must be the wildest, I am my own god, where I live! ”
Hearing such an exciting and explosive singing, Zeng Li, Yuan Quan, and everyone present were shocked.
Zeng Li remembered that a few months ago, when she decided to apply for the Chinese opera exam, her father, who was rich but abandoned her mother, told her that there was a future in making a play, and let her and her sister follow him and move to Paris. At that time, she hesitated, and later her dream made her stubbornly choose to stay, take the Chinese drama, and become an actor.
The same feelings burst out in the hearts of Yuan Quan, Liu Xinyue and others, and all dreamers who have dreams that are not understood by outsiders have the same feeling when they hear this song.
Including Fu Jing, who helped Lin Weifeng to go to the bathroom to vomit, also had the same feeling, and hummed in a low voice, only Lin Weifeng, who went to the Chinese opera just to pick up girls, muttered: "What are you singing!" ”
The next lyrics touched Lu Chong's heart deeply: "Don't be nervous about those who love me, my stubbornness is very kind." The dirtier my hands were, the more my eyes glowed. You don't care about my past, you saw my wings, you said that only after being burned by fire can a phoenix appear, the direction of the headwind is more suitable for flying, I am not afraid of tens of millions of people blocking it, I am only afraid of surrendering myself! ”
His current state is that the phoenix is reborn against the rock, and when he sings here, his feelings completely burst out, and he has no nervousness at the beginning of singing, and he completely lets go of singing.
Zeng Li, Yuan Quan and the others in the room all listened attentively, they were completely involved, and some of them were moved to tears by themselves.
At this moment, more and more people are standing outside the door and listening.
The people who sing here, there are too many people who have unpaid ambitions, especially those who engage in music, ninety percent of them are opposed by relatives and friends, and they are all burdened with too much pressure from reality.
Lu Chong's passionate and clear voice continued to echo in the room: "Me and my last stubbornness, clench your hands and never let go!" The next stop is not paradise, even if you are disappointed, you can't despair! I and I are proud of my stubbornness, I sing loudly in the wind! This time I'm crazy about myself, just this once, me and my stubbornness! ”
After singing the song, the room was silent, and after a few seconds, the applause was thunderous.
The door suddenly opened, and more than a dozen people rushed in from outside, all of whom asked excitedly: "What is the name of this song, which singer sang it, and why have you never heard it before?" ”
It seems that they all came over after Lu Chong sang the prelude, and they didn't hear Lu Chong's self-description before singing, so Lu Chong said patiently: "This song is called "Stubborn", and it is five ...... I'm original. ”
Someone cheekily asked, "Can you copy the lyrics for us?" ”
In this era, copying lyrics can be said to be a pandemic.
But in 1996, this song was Lu Chong's original, and he didn't want someone to release an album in advance, so he shook his head: "I'm sorry, I haven't released an album yet, let's talk about it after I release it." ”
Those people were embarrassed to do any more entanglement, so they all went back, anyway, it was already a good experience to hear this song and get strength.
Another person walked in outside the door, and Lu Chong said impatiently: "I'm sorry, I can't copy the lyrics." ”
The man smiled: "I want to ask you, have you signed a contract for this song?" ”
"Signing?" Lu Chong shook his head: "Not yet, I'm preparing to find a record company." ”
The man took out a business card and handed it to Lu Chong: "I'm a ...... from Sony Records."
He thought that Lu Chong, as a newcomer, would definitely take the business card respectfully when he heard Sony's name, but he never expected that Lu Chong's hand stopped in the air, and instead of taking the business card, he asked a question: "Are you a Japanese company?" ”
The man nodded: "Yes, we are a Japanese company, belonging to the Sony Group, and we are the most ...... in Asia."
Lu Chong waved his hand and interrupted the man's words: "My grandfather is an anti-Japanese veteran, and he agreed to let me enter the entertainment industry, but the bottom line is not to let the Japanese take advantage, so I won't sign a contract with the Japanese company, please go!" ”
The man raised his head and looked arrogant: "You reject our Sony, wait to regret it!" ”
"Without you Sony, there are Rolling Stones, and EMI, and Warner," Lu Chong smiled coldly: "As long as my music is here, I am not afraid of not becoming famous." "If it was someone from Rolling Stone Records, Lu Chong might sign it without saying a word, after all, it was Rolling Stone Records before Mayday, and "Stubborn" was also released by Rolling Stone.
The man walked away.
Thunderous applause rang out inside and outside the room, and Zeng Li and Yuan Quan gave their thumbs up at the same time: "If it were for us, we would have signed a contract a long time ago, or you still have integrity!" ”
Lu Chong smiled faintly: "This is my bottom line, not only will I not sign the Waguo Company in the future, but I will also not endorse the Waguo products." ”
When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say too much about what happened during the Anti-Japanese War, and Lu Chong's memory was engraved with hatred for the Japanese people.
From the bottom of his heart, Lu Chong doesn't want to sign with any record company, he wants to set up his own record company and build himself alone, but now his energy is mainly focused on Nortel's preparation for the exam, and he doesn't have much energy to start a company, not to mention that he has no connections in the record industry.
Tonight, apart from Sony, there are no other record companies coming to the door, after all, Jiangcheng is different from Yangcheng, Imperial Capital, and Magic City, and those big record companies have not yet expanded their business to inland second-tier cities.
Lu Chong wanted to wait until after the Nortel exam, and then go to Yangcheng to try his luck, and strive to release an album before Nortel started school to accumulate fame for himself in advance.
In the following time, Lu Chong, Zeng Li, Yuan Quan and others seriously discussed the examination issues.
As the conversation deepened, Lu Chong suddenly had an idea, since the college entrance examination has a mock test, why don't you have a mock test for the professional exam.
He suggested that there would be an on-site mock exam, and other students would serve as examiners and take turns to inspect each other, so as to check and fill in the gaps in case of future troubles.
Zeng Li, Yuan Quan, and Liu Xinyue all looked at Lu Chong in surprise: "This method is really wonderful!" ”
Look at the time, it's going to be midnight soon, it's too late, and tonight's birthday party is over.
Lu Chong first sent Zeng Li and Yuan Quan back to the dormitory of the Beijing Troupe, and then sent Liu Xinyue home.
When they were separated from Zeng Li and Yuan Quan, they agreed together that they would go to a small theater of the Peking Opera Troupe early the next morning to start a mock exam.
