Chapter 44: Victor. high
The barkeeper, Victor, said that he had been drinking with a few veterans who had returned from Afghanistan, and took Vidaly and Sergei over for a few drinks, and Vidaly and Sergei happily followed him.
The atmosphere of the beginning was restored in the bar, when a male singer with long hair in a shawl appeared on the small stage in the corner of the bar, picked up an electric guitar and played a series of rhythmic rock notes, and the TV screen hanging above the stage played a young man with long hair and an oriental face playing an electric guitar, and the male singer sang a dynamic song with the rock notes. At this time, the bar was boiling, and all the young people shouted loudly Victor. Choi poured onto the dance floor and danced to the dynamic music, Danya and Natasha sang and danced excitedly to the music, and I saw Vidaly and Sergey also stand up and dance. I couldn't help but dance to the strong and dynamic beat of Danya, and the most obvious thing I heard in the whole song was the most repeated sentence of Gruba Claunon (blood type).
The song ended, but the people in the bar seemed to be still immersed in the music, and several young people on the dance floor shouted together that we want Victor. Choi, the whole bar shouted along and shouted that we want Victor. High. The shawl-haired singer played a series of low and powerful notes with electric guitar, Natasha shouted Kukuska (cuckoo), and the audience shouted Kukuska Kukuska together, and the shawl-haired singer then sang a low, slightly melancholy rock song, and the people on the dance floor danced again, the song did not understand, but I was moved by this melancholy music, and there was an inexplicable sadness and emotion in my heart.
Returning to our seats with the excitement that had not yet subsided in the music, Tanya looked at me with some excitement and asked, "Peng, do you know Victor. Choi? Pointing to the lanky, long-haired young man with an oriental face still playing on the TV above the stage, Tanya nodded and said, "Victor. Choi is my super idol, do you like him? I replied truthfully: "I knew him for the first time today, listened to his songs for the first time, and I remembered only one sentence of Gruba Kraufei in the first song, and the second song should be called Kukuska." The first song is a little exciting, the second song is a little sad and melancholy, I like the second song even more, although I didn't understand it, but I was completely moved by the music, and I felt an indescribable sadness and emotion" Danya took my hand and leaned against me and said: "Peng, I also like this Kukuska the most, every time I listen to it, I feel like I'm going to cry." I put my arm around Danya and asked, "Victor. Is Choi North Korean? Danya replied: "His father is North Korean and his mother is Ukrainian. I said, "The most North Korean has the surname Choi, you like his songs so much, when he comes to Novosibirsk, let's go to his concert." Tanya suddenly buried her head in my arms and sobbed quietly, and I quickly asked her, "What's wrong with Tanya?" Natasha choked up and said, "Victor. Choi will never be here, he is in heaven now. I was a little surprised: "He was so young, how could he die so early?" Natasha replied, "I had a car accident a few years ago." "I have some regret" It's a pity that such a talented singer. Natasha said with some emotion: "I don't believe that he died in a car accident, I believe that he was murdered, murdered by those forces who hate him, he is the father of rock and roll in the Soviet Union, and the Russians call him the last hero of the Soviet Union." On the day he died, I cried bitterly for two days after hearing about his death on the radio. At this time, Tanya was in my arms and said, "Peng, you know what? Hear Victor. I cried for a whole week when I heard the news of Choi's death in a car accident, and you know how many people in the Soviet Union wept for grief, and on the day he died, five girls committed suicide for him. "I was very shocked in my heart, I didn't expect Victor. Choi has such a big influence that I don't even know about him, maybe it's because I like rock music, or maybe it's Victor. The reason why Choi is of Asian descent, I suddenly became very interested in this father of Soviet rock and roll with an oriental face and a somewhat melancholy eyes, "Danya, tell me about Victor. Choi, I'd love to know how he became the father of Soviet rock and roll, and why did the Russians call him the last hero of the Soviet Union? ”
Put Victor. Choi, as his own super idol, can be a great idol for Victor. Choi's death cried for a whole week, and Tanya naturally expressed her gratitude to Victor. Cui Yiqiē knows a lot. Danya is also worthy of being a teacher, and told me the story of the father of Soviet rock and roll very clearly and completely, Viktor. Born in Kazakhstan to a North Korean father and a Ukrainian mother, Choi's family moved to Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) when he was five years old. Victor. Choi has been very talented in drawing since he was a child, and graduated from high school with Victor. Cui was admitted to art school, in addition to painting, he also showed extraordinary talent in literature and music, and began to compose his own lyrics and music at the age of fifteen. While studying in art school, Victor. Choi organized a rock band. But rock songs in the Soviet Union at that time were regarded as anti-state songs, and Viktor. Choi was also ordered to drop out of school for playing rock music. After being ordered to drop out of the art school, Victor. Choi was admitted to the Leningrad City Technical School to study woodcarving, and Viktor, who was obsessed with rock music. Choi organized a rock band again in the technical school, because of the rock 'n' roll, Victor. Choi still failed to officially graduate from the technical school and had to drop out halfway, in order to keep the band intact without military service, Victor. Choi also obtained a certificate of exemption from military service for the mentally ill at a psychiatric hospital. Victor without a formal job. Choi was once living in a very poor situation, and his parents-in-law once opposed his marriage to his wife Malena because he did not have a formal job. Victor. Choi joined the Rock Band Association and founded the greatest rock band in the history of the Soviet Union, the KINO (meaning film) band, and his wife Malena also became the initial manager of the KINO band. Choi released his first album "KINO45", because the playing time was 45 minutes. Choi improvised 45, and then "KINO46" came out, but the first album did not cause much repercussions. Choi's life is still poor, and he has to make woodcuts for parks to make ends meet. Later, the KINO band participated in the first Rock Band Grand Prix held in Moscow, but due to the unfair judgment of the organizers, the KINO band suffered a heavy defeat. Choi released three albums, but sales were still dismal. Later, the band KINO won the second and third Rock Band Grand Prix in succession. Choi became famous as a result, and Victor. Choi's fifth album "Noch" was also an instant hit, selling millions of copies at one point, setting a record for record sales that year. The reason why Choi was able to be popular with all young Russians at that time was that his songs not only had a strong sense of rhythm, but most importantly, his lyrics sang the hearts of all young people. The Gruba Crawford (blood type) I just heard was Victor. Choi's famous song, at that time, Soviet youth often took to the streets to rally and confront the police, and bloodshed was inevitable, so the young people participating in the rally would write their blood type on their cuffs to facilitate treatment in the hospital. The song was written at the time.
Humming the lyrics of "Blood Type" while talking about Tanya, a gentle comfort zone, but the streets are waiting for us. The dust of the military boots is like starlight, the comfortable sofa, the plaid sofa cover, the trigger that was not pulled on time, the sunny day is just in a brilliant sleep, although there is a means to pay the price, but I don't want a cheap victory, whose chest I don't want to trample, I want to be with you, I just want to stay with you, but the stars high in the sky call me to the road, my cuff has a blood type, my cuff has my military horn on it, pray for me who rushes to the battlefield, pray for me, pray for me, Don't let me stay in the wilderness, don't let me lie in the wilderness, pray for my victory, pray for my victory, the world is ours, no matter what the cost, it is up to us to change. At that time, the song was popular throughout the Soviet Union, and all the young people sang it and went to the streets. But Soviet conservatives did not like Viktor . Choi, once had the university invite Victor. Choi went to hold a concert, but was detained by the police station and placed under house arrest, and after learning the news, all the college students held candles in front of the police station to demonstrate and demand the release of Victor. Choi, the police department was under pressure to release Victor. High. A month before the car accident, Victor. Choi held a record concert in the Soviet Union at the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, with an audience of 100,000 people, and the Olympic Stadium flame was lit for the first time in the performance of the band KINO. A month after the concert, Victor. Choi was driving a car in the Latvian capital of Liga and collided with an oncoming bus. Choi died on the spot. After the news of his death broke, five girls committed suicide for him, and a large number of young Soviet fans came to Liga, the capital of Latvia, in the hope of having a relationship with Viktor. Choi walked the last stretch of the road. The tiny Liga Municipal Hospital was submerged in a sea of people and roses, because of the extremely fanatical actions of the fans, Victor. Choi's funeral ceremony had to be postponed. Now every day in Victor. Fans from all over the country would lay flowers at Choi's grave. The Russians call it Victor. Choi was the last hero of the Soviet Union because he sang the voice of the Soviet people for change at that time, he became the embodiment of freedom and resistance, and he was the spiritual leader of the youth of the time. Victor. Choi was also received by Gorbachev, who praised his songs and band for driving reforms in the Soviet Union. Victor. The Soviet Union collapsed the year after Choi's death. Not so long ago Victor. Choi was chosen as the brightest star in his push for Soviet reforms, and he became one of the celebrities who changed the history of the Soviet Union.
When the narration was over, Tanya looked at me with teary eyes and said; "Victor. Choi once said that if everyone was sleeping, who would be singing? How I wish he had just fallen asleep, my greatest wish as a teenager was to see Victor in person. Choi, at that time, I kept asking my parents when they would take me to Moscow to see Victor. High? Peng: Did you know? The first time I saw you, I thought of him, because you are all Orientals. I'm because of Victor. Choi is very obsessed with black hair and yellow skin. ”
Victor. Cui wanted me to be shocked, and I remembered that I was crazy about Cui Jian's rock songs in college. I said to Tanya and Natasha, "You know what? In China, there is also a father of rock and roll surnamed Cui, and there are also countless young people who are crazy about him, and I am very obsessed with his songs. Listened to Victor today. Choi's songs, I found the feeling of the year. Tanya asked, "Peng, can you sing us a song by Cui, the father of Chinese rock music?" I replied, "It's a pity that I don't know how to play the guitar, otherwise I'd go on stage and sing a song for you." ”
After listening to me, Natasha walked over to Victor, the owner of the bar, and said a few words into Victor's ear. Victor turned his head to look at me for a moment, then walked to the front of the stage and said a few words to the shawl-haired singer, who picked up the microphone and said, "We now warmly welcome the Chinese guest Peng from afar to sing us a song by the father of Chinese rock." There was applause in the bar, and I helplessly spread my hands to Tanya and Natasha, "I'm not singing very well, don't scare you." Tanya put her arms around me and kissed me and said, "Peng, we believe that your singing voice will be very touching." "I walked up to the stage and asked the shawl-haired singer if he had a regular guitar? The shawl-haired singer said wait, and then asked the waiter to bring a guitar, I would only play simple chords, tried to play a few times, and felt okay, and then whispered the tune of the flower girl to the shawl-haired singer, and the singer listened to it for a while and roughly popped the tone. I picked up the microphone and said, "Hello everyone! The song I am singing for you now is a song by Cui, the father of Chinese rock music, and the name of the song is My Girl (because I don't know the exact Russian language of Huafang, so I have to say so), and I dedicate this song to my dear girl Danya. There was another round of applause and whistles in the bar. Danya shouted excitedly, "Peng, my Victor. Cui, Ya Knot Slip Away (I Love You)! I picked up the guitar and played a chord, the shawl hair played a dynamic beat with me, I picked up the microphone imitator Cui Jian shouted with all his might: I walked past you alone, I didn't have anything to say to you, I didn't dare to look up at you, oh oh oh face, you asked me where I was going, I pointed in the direction of the sea, your surprise seemed to me, oh oh praise, you said I am the strongest in the world, I said you are the kindest in the world, you say I am the strongest in the world, I say you are the kindest in the world, I want to go back to the old place, I want to walk on the old roadI know I can't live without you, oh oh hey girl, I'm going back to the old place, I'm going to walk on the old road, I know I'm not going without you, oh hey girl, I'm going to go back to the old place, I'm going to walk on the old road, I know I'm not going without you, oh oh girl, I'm going to go back to the old place, I'm going to walk on the old road, I know I'm inseparable from you, oh oh I'm going to drop girl. My hoarse singing and the powerful and well-placed beats played by the shawl singer with the electric guitar in his hand infected the whole bar, and the young people on the dance floor writhed to the rhythm and sang loudly along with me, oh hey girl, and at this moment I felt like I was the Victor on stage. High.
