The concert had just begun, and the atmosphere had already reached a peak. I looked back at the already full venue, and it was as if I saw a revival at this time, and this power was the power of Robben and countless rock musicians who bought their youth in exchange, so you often hear a kind of angry catharsis in their work.

It can be said that every famous rock musician has had a period of dark decadence behind it, some people interpret this decadence as their own label, and some people gradually sink and die in this decadence, and a very small number of people use music to digest and carve this decadence, and finally turn it into a shocking work, Robben and Yuan Zhen are the last.

After a burst of psychedelic blue light flashed alternately, Robben held the guitar and stood in the center of the stage, he didn't say any opening words, just closed his eyes and faced the microphone, and the harmonica sound came from the speaker that was more psychedelic than the blue light, as if bringing people into an unknown space, without bounds, there was a looming sadness in the pure blue, and a woman sat on a distant reef with her legs crossed......

Robben finally opened his mouth: ""Boo City", lyrics: Yuan Zhen, guitar: Xiao Wu; Bass: Li Xiaoyong; Keyboard: nonsense; Harmonica: Chen Jikun; Drummer: Ning Hao; Accompaniment: Xiao Ai Yu Xin ......"

At this time, Xiao Ai and Yu Xin began to hum in a very professional high voice, and the desperate love continued to spread, but when the powerful voice of the bass sounded, it seemed that the hope of rebirth was seen in the cracks, and the originally quiet scene came intermittently with shouts......

"Awesome arrangement! I don't know if it's from Yuan Zhen or Robben. ”

I heard someone say this in a "breath", turned my head to look, and it was Gao Suo next to me who spoke, a former music professor of Sichuan Yin, and now the artist director of Qiu Zi'an Media Company.

He Gaoming, who was beside him, smiled and replied: "It's a song composed by Yuan Zhen and Robben together." ”

Gao Suo nodded and said appreciatively: "This is a collision between geniuses and geniuses, no wonder you will hear two completely different feelings, but they are not chaotic." ”

The first half of this "Shhhh

At this time, everyone can see that this is definitely not a deliberate state, but that the love has really arrived, and he is the veritable "king of the scene" at this moment!

In his violent interpretation, I seem to be able to see the pain and loneliness of his life, but the audience can't see this, and they don't know that when Yuan Zhen was the most depressed, he even picked up leftovers at the door of the restaurant, and for so many years, he has been walking alone, living a gray life, except for music, he has really seen through and is numb! ……

……

In this concert, Robben, who is a senior, promoted Yuan Zhen very much and introduced Yuan Zhen to his fans several times. Yuan Zhen himself has a certain popularity, plus he is a very talented and individual musician, so the fans are very buying, and they have been making rock and roll gestures, shouting hoarsely "awesome", and after this concert, Yuan Zhen will also make a full comeback in China with the help of a large-scale original music program, it is foreseeable that he will be able to work with Robben to support half of the Chinese rock.

Halfway through the concert, there was a slight problem with the equipment on site. During the emergency commissioning of the technicians, the people sitting in the front row also took advantage of this gap to chat.

I heard Qiu Zi'an ask Yang Youqi, who is already a music queen, "Miss Yang, I know that you are very professional in music, so I would like to hear what you say about the backing singers at the concert." ”

Yang Youqi looked at Xiao Ai, who was chatting with Yu Xin, and asked Qiu Zi'an, "You said the one who was wearing white?" ”

Qiu Zi'an smiled and said, "Why don't you think it's the one who wears red?" ”

Yang Youqi glanced at Yu Xin and Xiao Ai respectively before replying: "Wearing red clothes, it gives people the feeling that he must be a person with professional vocal training, although his appearance is good, but he is less recognizable...... However, the one in white is different, her external conditions are also very good in the star-studded entertainment industry, and her voice conditions are also excellent......" After a pause, Yang Youqi smiled again and said: "Her musical literacy and even comprehensive conditions are better than mine, maybe what is missing is just opportunities." ”

Qiu Zi'an sighed very frustratedly, and then replied: "What she lacks is really not an opportunity, but the idea of entering the entertainment industry, in fact, her talent in music is not only on the stage, she herself is also proficient in various musical instruments, and even has the ability to create music...... It's a pity that this is a good seedling! ”

After listening to Qiu Zi'an's words, Yang Youqi was very surprised, and looked at Xiao Aicai and said with emotion: "I can quite understand her." Because the more talented a person is, the more he will inevitably be high...... But I don't know when the entertainment industry began to be full of the smell of money worship and the squalor of black trading, so that many people who have the pursuit and ideals have lost the soil for survival, which is a loss of art, but it has promoted the false prosperity of the entertainment industry, which really makes people unable to judge right and wrong......"

Qiu Zi'an smiled and did not comment on Yang Youqi's feelings, but this is normal, after all, he is a businessman, and he can't be expected to have artistic feelings at all.

……

The concert ended after three hours, Robben invited all the guests and staff to dinner, but Xiao Ai did not attend, she changed her clothes backstage, and then went to the outside to find me who wanted to leave. Then we ate food stalls near the venue, and we asked for the crayfish and beer, which are the most popular products of the season.

I don't know how Xiao Ai thinks about this lifestyle, but it is a pleasure for me.

After I drank a glass of beer, I said to her: "I signed the demolition contract with Jinding Real Estate yesterday, and I can get a total of two houses and 300,000 yuan in compensation for demolition. ”

"It's okay."

"Hmm." I answered, and then took a big sip of my glass, my mood a little complicated. Although the demolition has changed my quality of life, it has also changed my living habits for more than 20 years, and I don't know if I can adapt to living in a high-rise building. I always felt that the height made me feel a lot of distance from the world, and there was no place to grow flowers and grass.

Xiao Ai seemed to be able to feel my mood, she stabbed me with chopsticks and said, "Are you still reluctant to let the old house be demolished?" ”

I nodded, and then asked her, "I really can't understand why everyone wants to demolish this place where everyone has lived for so many years?" ”

"In fact, everyone doesn't want to be demolished, but they know how to weigh interests better than you, because the mainstream crowd represents mainstream values, and you think everyone is as stupid as you! ......" After thinking about it, Xiao Ai said again: "You are not stupid, the main thing is that you are used to living alone, only this small courtyard and house have been with you for so many years, but your neighbors have relatives, so their attention must be on improving their lives, after all, such a small courtyard is really crowded for a family...... It doesn't matter to you. ”

I nodded, I think Xiao Ai understands me, and the answer she analyzed is what I have always thought in my heart, but I can't say it. In my heart, this small courtyard and house are like my relatives who have accompanied me through countless lonely and helpless nights.

If it weren't for it, I think I'd have been worse in this city over the years, at least I would have increased the cost of renting a house, but because of it, I lived like a normal person, because there was a place called home.

Thinking about this, I finally smiled, and then asked Xiao Ai: "What about you, do you have feelings for my small courtyard and house?" ”

Xiao Ai looked in reverie, and after she responded to me with a smile, she said, "Yes, of course there is...... My favorite thing is to sit on the weedy courtyard wall at dusk, drinking beer and watching the clouds blow through the sky, there is a kind of freedom that I have never experienced before......"

"When you say that, I feel sad!"

"I'm even sadder, at least it's been with you for more than twenty years, but I only seem to have lived in it for one night."

After a moment of silence, I looked at Xiao Aiti and said, "Then you can move in, you won't be able to live for long anyway." ”

Xiao Ai looked up at me, and replied directly after a while: "Are you lying to me living with you?" …… If yes, then you're a stinky rascal with no restraint! ”

I hurriedly defended: "The one you are talking about is illegal cohabitation, and I mention yì is ordinary cohabitation, after all, there are two rooms in the house, and there is a living room in the middle, you live in yours, I live in mine, I think it is quite pure." ”

Xiao Ai looked at me with a very contemptuous look......

I was so uncomfortable with her that I picked up my glass and drank the rest of the beer. But Xiao Ai didn't intend to let me go, she seemed to have found my weakness, ate a lobster, scolded me for being a stinky hooligan, but we ordered a large portion, which contained dozens of lobsters of all sizes.

Just when I was about to take it anymore, her expression became stern, and then she put down the chopsticks in her hand, changed the topic and asked me, "Jiang Qiao, what do you think of Senior Brother Yuan Zhen's appearance at the concert today?" ”

"It's good, I heard Gao Suo and them talking about it, and they all thought that he would succeed in the genre of rock music, and that the work he wrote before the age of 25 was already very deep!"

Xiao Ai nodded, she smiled with relief, and said: "Over the years, I can't rest assured that he is the most, and now I feel really happy to see him usher in the best development opportunity in his career...... Jiangqiao, we must not be left behind, do a good job in the piano shop, the future will be very beautiful, right? ”

"yes, in fact, compared to them, we are not bad...... Isn't the piano store much more than when it first opened, and when the musical instrument store below opens again, the piano store will really be on the right track...... With an income of more than one million a year, I think it's quite easy anyway, after all, our investment is not small! ”

Xiao Ai smiled and replied: "I think it's good to have so much income, in our country, the happiest person should be such a middle class, there is no need to worry about starting a business, and there is no need to worry about keeping a business." ”

"I couldn't agree more!"

Xiao Ai let out a sigh of relief, and then said to me: "Jiang Qiao, you can accompany me to see my father tomorrow afternoon." ”

Maybe it was because I wasn't mentally prepared enough, so I was a little nervous, so I asked Xiao Ai again, "Are you sure it's tomorrow?" ”

"Well, are you going?"

"Go, it's time to go!"

After I said that, people lost their minds a little bit. So much so that he has been mechanically turning the beer cans by hand. I think that Xiao Ai should have a good intention in taking me to see Mr. Xiao, but this intention is not aggressive, on the contrary, it is a kind of trust and trust to me, in her heart, she wants to live with me.

Perhaps, after Qin is on the right track, we will go to Taipei again, and after getting her mother's approval, we will really get closer and closer to marriage. At that time, whether she is willing to have a husband and children, or wants to have a higher pursuit on the road of art, I will support her unconditionally!
