Chapter 10: The Great Artist

Lonely after dinner, glancing at his phone at past eight o'clock, calculating that it was almost the rush hour for the joint performance, Lee Ji-hyun once again took to the streets of Hongdae, following the bustling flow of people towards the small square.

The small plaza is a street intersection of Hongdae, a terraced stage specially planned for grand open-air performances, the space is so small that even if only one band can stand in the center of the venue, it will seem crowded, but this is also its characteristic and charm.

Imagine a large audience surrounded by performers standing in the center of the stage. No one cares if he's famous or not, all they care about is the story he's telling and the music he's expressing, and that's where the romance of open-air performances comes in.

When Li Zhixian came to the small square, he was already surrounded by people, and through the crowd, he could see that there was a bald-headed young man on the stage debugging the equipment, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but Li Zhixian remembered who this person was - about a year ago, when he was keen to wander the streets of Hongdae, he saw this young man a few times, and at that time he felt that his voice was very distinctive, and the smell of smoke was very strong, and after learning that he was a student of Hongdae, he had an impression of him, and after listening to the performance, he also invested 20,000 yuan in his piano case.

"Ahh The device is teasing and the microphone is being tested.

"Ne, good evening, everybody!" The last time I only saw him perform, I didn't listen to him, and the voice he spoke at this time was no different from the voice when he sang.

"Thank you very much for your support, my name is Wu He, you can also call me Hyukoh, if I can release an album in the future, I will probably use the name Hyukoh! Below, my original track "Ohhioh". ”

After a shy smile and a slight pause, he went straight to the performance, which was so abrupt at first that it subverted Li Zhixian's definition of performance.

Usually the self-introduction and necessary warm-up before the performance are indispensable, one is to strengthen the communication with the audience, and the other can relieve tension.

I couldn't imagine that this Wu He was such a shy character, whether it was from the strong appearance - bald head, earrings, lip studs, or deep senses - a low, hoarse voice, it would make people feel that this must be a cold type of man.

The reality is completely reversed, and it makes people fall into endless curiosity about him.

“Lookbackinbitterness,goingbacktobrokenpieceofpast.”

At the beginning of the song, Li Zhixian was amazed, and the simple guitar chord accompaniment and Wu He's characteristic hoarse voice made the scene immediately fall into a strange tranquility.

The singing continued, and Lee Ji-hyun closed his eyes and listened intently to his performance. However, when he sang the chorus part for the second time, Li Zhixian's eyebrows furrowed and his eyes opened.

“ohhiohhi,Iwatchyourpain.ohhiohhi,thesameasmine.”

By the time the chorus was repeated, some of the audience began to sing along.

But Li Zhixian keenly discovered the shortcomings of this song - it is too monotonous!

Li Zhixian is a musician, and the stunning beginning and the subsequent smooth transition make Li Zhixian have a high evaluation of this work.

However, from the beginning, Wu He played and sang by himself, and until the end of the main part of the song, there was only guitar accompaniment, and the whole always felt like there was something missing soul.

"It would be nice to add some band elements!" Li Zhixian thought.

The show lasted about an hour, after all, it was only a street performance, and it couldn't last two or three hours like a concert. Wu He sang a total of six songs, three of which were original, and the advantages and disadvantages were exactly the same, but the shortcomings were that the musical color was too simple.

If there is a chance to get acquainted, Li Zhixian is happy to give him some advice and discuss music, but he just thought of his shy personality and shook his head with a wry smile to dispel this idea.

Bidding farewell to the small square, the time came to half past nine, calculating the queuing time for the club's entry and the appearance time of the Illionaire trio, Li Zhixian set off for nb2club.

Before I reached the corner of the NB2Club, I could already see a long line of men and women in a serpentine formation.

"The appeal of celebrities is really terrifying! I had never waited in such a long line when I came here before! ”

sighed and sighed, Li Zhixian himself was called over by the star, and he had to honestly walk into the team and line up, because he was at the end of the line, he was almost squeezed to the back door of the club.

A few steps along the line was underway when a commotion suddenly erupted in the rear.

"Ahh Beenzino, sign it for me! "Brother Axe (Korean dok2 pronounced the same as axe)!"

Attracted by the sound, Li Zhixian turned around to see the three Illionaires stepping down from a white Rolls-Royce, waving at the fans, and chatting while entering.

At this time, Li Zhixian found a familiar figure walking down from the car, it turned out to be zico!

"Why is Zhihao here? Didn't you say there was an appointment? Is it an appointment with the three of them? ”

I was puzzled, but I didn't show it, it's not that kind of character, and he usually stays away from things that are in the limelight, but his eyes have been following a few people.

There were also a few audience members who recognized Zico as the captain of the idol group, and he was more well-known than the other members.

Zico kept waving his hand to greet the fans, and suddenly he was stunned, and he found Li Zhixian in the team.

Seeing his friend's gaze, Li Zhixian smiled at him slightly, without more movements, obviously not showing off.

Although I understood what my friend meant, I couldn't bear to see him in an endless queue.

"Brother Axe, wait a minute." After saying hello to DOK2, Zico walked towards Lee Ji-hyun.

After coming to Li Zhixian's side, he didn't say a word and just pulled away.

"Yikes! I'm still in line! Li Zhixian whispered.

"I've seen you, what are you standing up, really!" Zico paid no heed to his complaints.

Dragged by Zico, Li Zhixian showed a helpless expression, and a star ran to his side to pull away a stranger who was still queuing behind him just now, and it was impossible not to attract attention.

"Who is that person? How was it pulled away by Zico? ”

"I don't know! Since they all know celebrities, why are they still lining up! Pretending! ”

No matter how bitter Li Zhixian was at this time, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"Brother Axe, Brother Quiett, Zino, this is my best friend Li Zhixian." zico introduces Lee to the trio of Illionaire.

"Hello dok2 seniors, quiett seniors, beenzinoxi!" After sorting out the genealogy in his mind, Li Zhixian greeted and saluted one by one according to their respective titles.

"Well, let's go in first." Dok2 is the undisputed leader among several people, taking the lead in speaking, this is not the place to speak, and entering with a few people.

All the way to the waiting room, unlike the TV station, the waiting room here is a private room modification, only a simple dresser and a set of tables, chairs, and sofas.

Dok2 first took the program schedule handed by the staff, roughly browsed it, and had an arrangement in mind, sat on the dresser and waited for the makeup artist to put on makeup.

Whether at work or in life, he is a very cold character, and it is almost impossible to take the initiative to contact strangers outside of work, and he only thinks that Li Zhixian was called in by Zico to facilitate his friends to watch the performance, and there is no need to ask.

Beenzino and zico are usually very close, and at this time they are dressing up on the stage together, and Li Zhixian nodded his chin and asked zico, "Are you close?" ”

Zico straightened his collar without looking back and replied, "Well, Li Zhixian, composer." Don't you peek at my studio's composition folder often! There's a beat called 'Big Artist' in it, don't you really like it! That's what he wrote. ”

Is it a composer? Beenzino looked curiously at Lee Ji-hyun who was standing in the center of the room with a bewildered expression.
