Many years later, Hong Kong films, once known as the Hollywood of the East, began to show signs of decline. The frenzied exploitation of film themes and the shoddy production by unscrupulous means finally caused a large-scale withdrawal of foreign capital, coupled with the fact that Southeast Asian countries, which are important film markets around them, have set up their own domestic film protection policies in the name of the law.

People in the Hong Kong film industry, whether they are actors in front of the stage or staff behind the scenes, have found their own way out, some have gone to Hollywood, some have gone north to the mainland, and some have simply changed careers.

One of them, Chen Kexin, and an actor, Leslie Cheung, were introduced by a friend to visit Gowen, who had been in the screenwriting industry for a long time, and Gowen had become a famous figure in the world at that time.

Chen Kexin and Leslie Cheung's heart of Chicheng touched Gowen, so Gowen wrote them a script "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves". Later, after the release of this movie, it completely lived up to the expectations of Chen Kexin and Leslie Cheung, and the Hong Kong box office collected 30 million, winning the Hong Kong annual summer vacation revenue champion, and also occupied the top of the box office list in the mainland, reducing the decline of Hong Kong films, and thus setting off a self-help journey for Hong Kong films.

In this movie, there is a scene where the actor plays and sings "twistandshout" in a bar, and the starring Leslie Cheung contributed another wonderful performance since his film, and won the Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards that year. And this scene has also become another classic in the history of Hong Kong films, ranking among the top three in a global music film clip list on the Internet.

It's just that there is such a group of middle-aged people from all walks of life who scoff at this performance on the Internet, and they always firmly believe -

At that time, in an abandoned factory in Beijing, Ge Wen, Wang Xinbo, Cui Jian, Eddie, Paul, Ding Wu, Zang Tianshuo...... And them and them, the performance was truly flawless at that time!

……

……

After the end of the song "TwistandShout", the scene fell into a faint warmth. Too many people are looking at each other and laughing, but it's a pity that there is no alcohol at the scene, otherwise everyone would have raised it to drink together.

After a long time, Govin stood up, and the warmth of the scene was exactly what he wanted.

And the next thing is to be handed over to Wang Xinbo and Eddie.

"Brother Wang, it's up to you next!" With that, Govin was about to walk off the stage.

But before he could take two steps, Wang Xinbo stopped him: "Gowen, you just stay on stage, I think the audience wants to continue to watch your performance." ”

"yes, look at the reaction on the spot." Cui Jian was on the side to help.

"That's right, it's better for Govin to stay on stage and talk to us about music." It's strange that Ding Wu didn't burst out of his mantra at this time.

"Govyn, stay!" Eddie also held back.

And when the audience saw that Govin was going to step down, they also coaxed unrelentingly.

"Govyn again!"

"We're going to see you perform!"

"That's right, we want to hear you sing!"

……

"Haha...... Brother Wang, you have bad intentions! Playing on stage, how can you be an audience and watch the performance offstage! I'm here to see the show, not to perform......" Govin said, ignoring the pleadings of the musicians and the audience, and jumped off the stage.

As soon as he jumped off, he was quickly surrounded by the audience, and the voices of admiration, admiration, request, communication, and praise were endless.

"Friends...... Friends...... Everyone, be quiet, don't you look forward to the next game? With great difficulty, Govin calmed the audience around him, and then gestured to the crowd on the stage who were still staring at him.

"Hey, I said, you guys can't compete yet!"

Wang Xinbo and Eddie glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly, in the eyes of an expert like Gowen, what is the point of the competition?

Besides, Paul has apologized, and everyone is now at peace of mind and considerate of each other.

Or is it now that everyone is exchanging music with each other as the party was supposed to be?

Wang Xinbo picked up the microphone, looked at Govern and the audience, and said with a wry smile: "Friends, just like Govin said just now, the reason why the performance is a competition is so that everyone can enjoy a higher-level and more intense performance. So now it's up to the three of us and the Continental band to play the third game. ”

Without waiting for the reaction of everyone in the audience, Wang Xinbo hurriedly continued: "I don't know how the others are, my mood is a little nervous now. It's not that we're worried that we're going to lose the next third leg, we've already lost two in a row anyway...... I'm nervous because there is an expert like Govin in the audience, it's like a little carpenter getting a big axe in front of Lu Ban, and the pressure is really a little bigger! ”

Wang Xinbo's self-deprecating words caused everyone to laugh.

"So, in this third round, we won't say anything about winning or losing, let's just communicate with each other and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses......" Speaking of this, Wang Xinbo looked at Eddie and the others, and saw that they also nodded in agreement, so he turned his head to look at Govin with some teasing, and continued: "This can also avoid letting someone in the audience watch the excitement!" ”

His words earned Gowen an angry middle finger.

Wang Xinbo happily continued: "Here, I would like to ask you to be a simple music fan and look at the band's next performance from a fair standpoint!" ”

The third round of the competition is the ability to improvise on the spot, which requires the band to write a song on the spot.

On stage, the plywood band and the continental band each got together, discussing and discussing the repertoire to be performed.

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that it is a live improvisation, because in such a short period of time, no band has been able to create a perfect composition. So this round of the competition is a test of whether a band has the idea of creating in normal times, and whether the band has accumulated some pieces of creative music.

In any case, this third round requires a long preparation time, although the competition has no fierce taste of competition, but both bands have the mentality of not wanting to be looked down upon by the audience, so they are very serious about the next song to perform, except for the intermittent sound of musical instruments on the stage, the venue is deserted.

It was then that Govin noticed that a child on his right was staring at him intently.

The child was very energetic, with a hint of adoration on his immature face, a small board on his head, a wide school uniform, and a red scarf hanging crookedly around his neck. It was the boy who learned Gowen's rock and roll ritual after the mainland band sang "twistandshout" before.

Seeing that Govyn had noticed himself, the young man said with a hint of admiration: "Brother, your performance just now is too good!" Compared to the others, one in heaven and one on earth, I think only that Eddie is still close to you. Where did you train? Can you teach me? ”

Hearing this, Govin smiled and did not answer his question, but asked him, "Look at your appearance, you are from school!" At this point, if you don't study hard at school, why are you running here? Do you know what rock 'n' roll is? ”

The young man immediately heard some ridicule in Govine's words, and his neck stiffened, "Don't look down on people!" I'm seventeen! Graduated from high school during the Chinese New Year! Besides, no matter how small I am, I'm not bigger than him! ”

As he spoke, the boy pointed in the direction behind Gowen, who turned to look.

Wow, there's a child behind him!

That's right, it's a real child!

The boy in the red scarf already looked like a little adult, as he himself said, he was already a high school student. However, the child behind Govin was obviously just entering the development period, wearing a modified military uniform, without an Adam's apple around his neck, and the fluff on his face was clearly visible.

Being pointed at, this child was not annoyed, and when he saw Govin looking back at him, he grinned, knelt on his knees at Govern, and chanted the words in his mouth: "Master, be worshiped by the apprentice." ”

No way! Which one is this singing?

Govin pulled the little kid up, "Kid, what are you doing here?" ”

The child raised his face and looked at Govyn, and said seriously: "I want to learn guitar playing from you!" ”

"Hey...... boy, are you looking for a pump! You think you're the Monkey King! is still worshiped by the apprentices, why don't you go to the temple to worship! The red scarf boy was on fire, "Even if you accept an apprentice, you will accept me as an apprentice, how can it be your turn!" ”

"Master, where is your home? I asked my dad to take me to your house to learn the arts......"

"Hey...... Did you hear me when I spoke, and if you say again, be careful that I will beat you! ”

"Master, after the performance is over in a while, I'll go to the master's house to find a door first......"

"Hey, you're not finished, even if it's an apprentice, I'll come first!"

……

I'll go!

Govyn's head was a little bigger. After making trouble for a long time, these two little kids in front of me actually wanted to learn guitar from him!

Seeing that the two children were about to fight, Govin put one hand on the boy's shoulders and pressed the other hand on the child's head to separate them. Then he asked the child, "What's your name, little friend?" You came here, does your family know? ”

"Master, my name is Zhang Ju. I know you, I heard my dad tell me your story, my dad loves your science fiction novels, especially the ...... "The Country Teacher" Zhang Ju replied with a smile when he heard Gewen's question, his big eyes flickering.

"Zhang Ju, does your dad know that you are here?" Gowyn could see the little boy's slippery head.

Avoiding the heavy and light, he will also pat the sycophants, wilted and wilted, he rolled his eyes.

"Hey...... "Hey, hey," Zhang Ju didn't speak, just laughed.

Well, another little guy who secretly skipped class!

"You're so young, can you understand the music?" Gewen became a little curious, looking at Zhang Ju's appearance, he was at most twelve or thirteen years old, so he could understand rock and roll, or he liked rock and roll, which was really amazing.

For most people, getting in touch with and liking rock music is a matter of adolescent rebellion, but it is very rare for Zhang Ju to like this kind of music at such a young age.

"Master, don't look at me small, but I have loved music since I was a child, piano, cello, trumpet...... We have it in the compound, and last year my dad bought me a guitar, and I have been playing guitar for two years! Zhang Ju smiled and said unashamedly.

"Oh? Are you from the compound? ”

"That's right, I'm here with a few big brothers from the compound today." Zhang Ju replied seriously.

No wonder.

Govin was stunned.

If it is said that in China, a group of people first came into contact with electronic music and rock music, it is undoubtedly the young people in the military compound.

As a young person in the military compound, the young people outside the compound were able to come into contact with more items that were prohibited at that time, such as books and music...... It is said that as early as the sixties, Lin Liguo, the first brother of the compound, came into contact with the Beatles and came into contact with Western rock music, and that was when the Beatles began to set off the global Beatle mania.

So in a sense, the germ of Chinese rock music is in the compound.

Unfortunately, the closed environment of the compound caused not much contact between young people in and outside the compound, and the rock music in the compound was only a hobby of a small group and only circulated in the compound. And it is almost impossible to let these young people in the compound play rock, form a band, and have fun, and really want to make it a career, and it is impossible for those parents who hold the power to let their children be so unlearned.

It wasn't until the end of the 70s, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, that Wang Xinbo and other young people outside the compound came into contact with Western rock music from various channels, and then took the first step of Chinese rock music.

Zhang Ju grew up in a military compound, so he naturally came into contact with rock music at a very young age, and it is not surprising that he likes rock music.

"Master, I often finish dinner at night, don't do anything, don't go out, just lie on the bed and listen to tapes and tapes, this kind of music is so good! I see you played the guitar better than you heard on the tape, teach me! Zhang Ju's eyes showed adoration.

"This ......"

"Fuck off, go back to your compound! Gowen, don't pay attention to that kid, teach me if you want to, I'm going to be a singer like John Lennon, the lead singer of the Beatles! The red scarf pushed Zhang Ju, and then stood in front of Govin and said unruly.

"Wow, what a big breath!" Govin laughed at the declaration of the second youth in front of him.

"Don't look down on people! I'm so much better than that little brat! I acted in movies at the age of 11 and on stage at the age of 15...... Wang Xinbo: They don't know the goods, otherwise I would have stood on the stage to perform today! The red scarf boy glanced at Wang Xinbo and Cui Jian who were still preparing for the performance on the stage with some annoyance.

"You're so awesome, why do you want to learn guitar from me?" Govyn was a little funny.

"This ......"

The red scarf scratched his head, and then said confidently: "I don't think that Eddie knows a lot of your skills, and I can only become more awesome after I learn them...... Even if I can't be better than you, at least I'll be better than those people on stage! ”

"Haha......" Hearing the words of the red scarf, Govin couldn't help laughing.

The real ** youth is so happy!

"What's your name?" Finally stopping laughing, Govin looked at the red scarf on his face and asked casually.

"He Yong."

"Huh...... He Yong...... What the? What do you say your name is? ”

Govin smiled and repeated the name of the red scarf, and then suddenly remembered a person with the same name in the later life, he looked at the young man in front of him with some uncertainty and asked.

"Single, brave and brave, what's wrong?" The red scarf returned to the road.

He Yong?

He Yong!

Govin looked at the young man in front of him seriously, and the young man who looked straight at him was a little inexplicable.

No wonder I always think this teenager has a familiar face!

The young man in front of him suddenly became the rock singer of later generations, He Yong, one of the three heroes of Magic Rock!

In his previous life, Govin liked rock music, precisely because of He Yong's song "The Girl is Pretty", and he liked He Yong's lyrics and music very much at that time. Listening to He Yong's songs, Govin will naturally think of the citizens who jogged in the morning, the children who played in the streets at dusk, and the neighbors who were surrounded by fireworks......

And He Yong's voice is like a lonely child shuttling through the adult world, most of his excitement and anger come from not understanding the scenes of neighbors in the streets and alleys, he jumps up and down and runs east and west in the early morning or dusk, even panting and exhaling, and even shouting out of order, there are sighs, there are pride, there are naïve fantasies, and there are also sadness of change. This strong resonance made Govyn, who was in a rebellious period, feel empathy.

As he grew older, Govin became more aware of He Yong's music. He Yong's songs are as natural as speaking, there is no strong sense of melody but the emotions that the singer wants to express are vividly expressed, his singing style is also different from Li Zongsheng's rap style, Li Zongsheng still has a lot of tone and rhythm in it, He Yong almost only has the strength of the tone and the speed of the speed, and it has a more folk atmosphere. He Yong's affection is always reflected in the constant aggravation and acceleration of changes when repeating the same sentence, which is superb.

Later, as Govin himself entered the singer industry, he really learned about He Yong from many people, and he liked this person very much. This is a very real person, all his gestures are frank and silly cool, naughty and exciting, and he is frank and honest when he says beautiful things, and to be honest, this is what a rock star in Gowen's mind should be. Later, He Yong fell ill and disappeared in front of the public, and Govin was still very lamented.

And now, this singer he once liked super much is standing in front of him, and his immature face already has the stubbornness and innocence of later generations, which really makes him have a bizarre dream.

Teach He Yong to play the piano and sing?

No matter how you think about it, it feels very exciting!

Besides, if he really becomes He Yong's teacher, will he change He Yong?

In Gowen's previous life, He Yong really sang loudly in the music world for a short time, and people's memories of He Yong stayed in two time periods: one was in 1994, when he wore his signature sea soul shirt, tied a red scarf, and sang "Junkyard" in the Hung Hom Stadium with a guitar, He Yong on the stage was like Nezha stepping on the Hot Wheels. The other was in 2002, when He Yong set fire to his house and was sent to a psychiatric hospital. A generation of rock genius has fallen.

In his previous life, Govin had heard many rock musicians hate that iron does not make steel, and talked about He Yong. People say that He Yong shouted "Li Suli, are you beautiful" at the 1992 "20 Years of Pop Music" party when he sang "Girl Pretty" at the scene? It was his move that brought Chinese rock music, which was striving to break through to the ground, to a standstill. At that time, Li Suli, a bus conductor, was a national 38 red flag bearer and a national model worker being promoted by the country. He Yong's shout not only made him lose the opportunity to change from an underground rock musician to the mainstream, but also made Chinese rock music officially denied and began a long wait, and Chinese rock music that could have thrived was discounted.

As memories of his past life flooded back to his mind, another name popped up in Gowen's mind.

Zhang Ju?!

Isn't that Zhang Ju?

Is it the same rock musician who left the world at the age of 26?

In later generations, on May 11 every year, a group of people are remembering a musician, the musician's name is Zhang Ju, and this day is his death day.

Zhang Ju was the bassist of the Tang Dynasty band and was one of the most popular among the younger generation of rock musicians in the Chinese rock scene in the 90s.

In a previous life, it was Zhang Ju's death that caused China's first and greatest Chinese heavy metal band, the Tang Dynasty Band, to lose its direction and fall apart soon after. At that time, the Chinese heavy metals that were upright young but suddenly aged were directly or indirectly related to Zhang Ju's death. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that China's heavy metal rock is in decline, but it's true that for a long time after that, China's heavy metal rock has languished.

In his previous life, Govin had seen the song written and sung by Zhang Ju, which was the only musical work he composed. This song called "Legend" is the last song of the Tang Dynasty band's first album "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", the lyrics are magnificent and magnificent, and it makes people's blood boil when they listen to it. It can be seen from this that Zhang Ju is not only a top bass player, but also a creator with extremely high talent!

It's a pity that Zhang Ju died young!

In my previous life, there was an entertainment program called "I Am a Singer", and in the finals after Coco Li won the song with a song "Moonlight Goddess", there was such a group of people in front of the TV who burst into tears of excitement at another song by another group of people, and couldn't help themselves. This other group of people is Lao Wolf and most of the Chinese rock circle he brought - Wang Feng, Zhou Xiaoou, Luan Shu, Chen Jin, Li Yanliang, Ding Wu, Gao Qi, and Ma You...... The title of this other song is called "The Gift", and this song was written in honor of Zhang Ju, the famous bassist of the original Tang Dynasty band.

In front of the TV, fans who like rock music, listening to this song and looking at the rockers on the screen who have gone through vicissitudes, will miss the spring of Chinese rock music and the Zhang Ju with long flowing hair.

If the kid in front of him is the Zhang Ju, does that mean that he has a chance to save him?

The two people in front of them can be said to be the core figures of the younger generation in the Chinese rock music scene, if they change themselves, does that mean -

Is it possible to change the future of Chinese rock music?

As a time-traveler, Govin knew that in fact, the earliest Chinese rock music and rock singers were very patriotic.

The original Chinese rockers were very concerned with social issues, and the themes they created were some of them quite sensitive at the time. But they are very brave, and many of the topics are also very passionate, such as about glory, about duty...... These are all expressed through guò music.

It's just that with the passage of time, Chinese music has become more and more commercial.

There is no danger in music in the commercial society, because rock music with the concept of change or rebellion has long been consumed by commerce, not to mention the thinking and attention of Chinese rock music that was initially interrupted by the government!

In the impetuous commercial society of later generations, ideals, innocence, and love have lost their original meaning. Whether it is working hard for the ideal of music, or persistently pursuing love, only if you can't make money, you will all be laughed at. And no matter what kind of person you are, no matter how the money comes from, as long as you have money, you will be praised as a successful person.

In that crazy world in later generations, more and more people are confused and can't read.

In the later era of material supremacy, people's childhood dreams and aspirations have long been discarded, and the dream of music is even more so!

As a former industry player, Govin sincerely feels that sometimes everyone should keep a little distance from business, people must make money, but they also need ideals. Because, what can only be bought with money tends to depreciate quickly, and only ideals and dreams will always shine with golden brilliance and become a source of happiness for people.

The same is true for music, and the same is true for rock.

I can instill in them my own musical philosophy!

Inherit and even protect the rise and future of Chinese rock music!

"If you really like rock 'n' roll, if you really want to chase your dreams of music, if you really want to shine like those musicians on stage...... So ......"

Looking at He Yong and Zhang Ju's expectant eyes, Gewen smiled.

"I'll teach you!" (To be continued.) )
