Chapter 581: China's Bob Dylan (Four Watches)

The middle-aged worker said: "Hello everyone, my name is Li Jianguo, 42 years old this year, from the Yangtze River Delta, I am an assembly worker at Foxconn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

No wonder he came up in a worker's uniform, but considering that he was 42 years old, He Jiong asked: "So are you working on the front line now, or have you entered the management?" ”

Li Jianguo said shyly: "I was just promoted to production squad leader last year. ”

Foxconn has a set of relatively standard promotion methods, there are promotion opportunities every few years of work, in addition to the direct supervisor assessment scores, there are requirements for employees' education and experience, 42 years old even if you can stay up to promotion, this is more realistic, if he said that he is still a front-line employee, the three judges will not believe it, mutual trust will be greatly reduced.

He Jiong asked, "What are you going to perform today?" ”

"I'm going to play the guitar and sing."

Li Jianguo turned around and motioned for the staff to help him get the guitar.

Oh?

The audience was in an uproar, and suddenly became interested, and finally a singer who played the guitar came, or an older technical employee of Foxconn, which is rare!

And Li Jianguo's voice is not good, a migrant worker of his age is very likely to have not received a good education after he was a child, and his Mandarin is not standard, plus his voice is not special, a little hoarse, and it sounds very rough, such a person will play and sing well? Everyone is skeptical!

When the staff brought the guitar over, He Jiong smiled and said: "Do you know that on the stage of the talent show, it is very difficult to be recognized for the talent of singing. Because everyone can sing, unless you sing very well, which makes people feel amazing and surprises Brother Yang, you can get a pass card, are you mentally prepared for this? ”

Yang An also smiled and said, "I'm very strict!" ”

The audience chuckled, Yang An is obviously responsible for the comments of the singing players, yesterday I commented on the Peking Opera players, as well as the rappers, it's a pity that both of them failed, the first person to come on stage today is a folk singer, I don't know if Yang An will issue his first pass card among the singing players?

"I'll do my best to sing well!"

Li Jianguo smiled at the corner of his mouth, he was not nervous, he buckled the strap, adjusted the microphone stand in front of him, and then sat on the barstool.

The lights dimmed, and there was only Li Jianguo on the stage, holding the guitar at this moment, the image and temperament of the whole person had changed completely, and the image of the worker just now was very different.

A gentle arpeggio, a gentle prelude sounded, this is the fingering of the C chord, but Li Jianguo's right hand popped out the pattern, like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate, the sound is dense, the timbre is accurate, there is no noise and defects, and the basic skills are very solid.

"There are two hits!"

Everyone said this in their hearts, and continued to listen.

After eight cycles of prelude bars, Li Jianguo began to sing: "

……

How much youth is left in the hands,

How much torment there is still in missing,

Clean used combs occasionally,

Leaving the lines of time.

I hope your world is well,

When I think of your smile,

No intention of rereading the love letters of that year,

Time goes by, youth grows old

……”

C, am, f, G alternating key keys, relaxed melodies, slightly hoarse lyrical singing, coupled with charming, catchy lyrics, this is a typical campus ballad!

"Not bad!"

The three judges exchanged glances with each other, Yang An hummed gently, He Jiong and Xu Jinglei were also shaking their heads and smiling, very, very relaxed, and the audience all smiled, as if they thought of their youth and the happiest time when they were studying.

After humming a la la la la la for a while, Li Jianguo entered the chorus part: "

……

I can't go back to the period of knowing each other and promising each other,

All shining on yellowed letterheads,

That's the mark of youth poetry,

Now my heart will beat when I read it,

Do you still remember that beautiful time,

Maybe the letter to you has long been thrown away,

That's how I was missing you,

You've got it elsewhere

……”

A very sad memory, a picture seems to appear in everyone's minds, Li Jianguo and his first girlfriend spent a happy teenage year together, but unfortunately the two couldn't get together for various reasons, he couldn't give the life that his first love wanted, the reality was too cruel, he could only watch his first love become someone else's wife from afar, and then silently send his blessings.

Many people were moved, the melody was sad, the lyrics were sad, the singing was also sad, the feelings in the song were very abundant, Li Jianguo's hoarse voice fit perfectly with it, and the performance of this song was seamless!

Bang Bang Bang!

One person began to applaud, which led everyone to applaud together, and the audience cheered and gave applause to Li Jianguo, thanking him for bringing everyone into good memories, a little sad, but also a little touching.

Yang An was the first to comment: "I have to say, this original song really moved me, what is the name of the song?" ”

Li Jianguo smiled happily: ""The Beauty of Can't Go Back"! ”

Yang An smiled: "Very good name, you should know, my guitar teacher is Mr. Liu Feng, the father of campus folk songs, I started playing the guitar from campus folk songs, this song "The Beauty of Can't Go Back", I feel the familiar taste, let my heart resonate at the moment, and get excited together, you moved me." Very good! ”

The audience applauded, and Li Jianguo stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

Yang An continued to ask: "Is your usual hobby to play the guitar and be original?" ”

"Yes, most of the time outside of work is spent on that."

"Is it mainly for campus folk songs?"

"No, I can accept any music, and I've tried it, rock, pop, rap, folk, all a little bit."

Wow!

The audience was in an uproar, this uncle is amazing, this is an all-round singer!

Xu Jinglei laughed on the side: "Brother Yang ...... ten years later"

Hahaha!

The audience laughed, He Jiong slapped the table with laughter, Li Jianguo smirked, Yang An was stunned for a moment, sighed, couldn't cry or laughed, bowed his head and proclaimed, damn, I will be more handsome than this big brother in ten years!

After laughing, Yang An said: "Have you ever written a rock song?" Can you sing a few words? ”

Li Jianguo obviously came prepared, plucked the guitar twice, turned his head and nodded at Ma Xin, Ma Xin held some accompaniment discs in his hand, put down the BGM of rock songs, only the drum beat, and the melody and rhythm were controlled by Li Jianguo himself.

The impassioned drum beat came, Li Jianguo turned the acoustic guitar into an electric guitar, the fingers of his left hand quickly changed the hand shape, and the right hand played or played, or plucked, or swept, or cut the tone, a gorgeous solo was presented in front of the audience, causing the audience to exclaim.

The audience was overturned!

Li Jianguo directly roared the chorus, this is a song that roars to fate, the struggle is unfair, unwilling to bow to fate, you can hear the positive energy in his songs, and the indomitable fighting spirit.

Yang Anxin was quite shocked, and after listening to rap and pop, Li Jianguo was able to quickly change his style and play and sing his original songs.

"Pretty impressive!"

"These songs are all original to him? That's great! ”

"Brother Yang ten years later, this statement is not wrong at all!"

"Don't praise me, in one point, I'm not as good as him."

Facing He Jiong and Xu Jinglei's happy ridicule, Yang Anzheng said: "I am also a songwriter, I know how difficult it is to create a song, the meaning and rhythm of the lyrics, the combination of melody and emotion, many times we create a song, we have to revise it many times, and rework it many times." And have you found that Brother Li's lyrics are poetic, emotional, and philosophical! ”

Is there such a god?

He Jiong and Xu Jinglei were a little unconvinced, and Yang An asked, "Brother Li, I want to ask, are you satisfied with your current life?" What are your dreams? ”

Li Jianguo said with a smile: "I'm quite satisfied with my current life, but I want to wait until my daughter graduates from college, and then I will quit my job at Foxconn and concentrate on creating music." My dream is to use my singing voice to express my attitude towards life, to reflect my inner thoughts, to observe the world with my eyes, and to make my songs bring thought and resonance to everyone. ”

The audience applauded, the 42-year-old factory mechanic was very thoughtful and could persevere, which was not easy.

Yang An has been applauding, sighing and sighing for a long time, He Jiong knew that Yang An cherished his talents, so he tried to ask first: "Brother Yang has anything to say?" ”

Yang An thought for a while and said: "Let me say one last thing, there is a folk poet in the United States, Bob Dylan, who is over 70 years old this year, and he won the Nobel Prize in Literature as a musician, which is something that has never happened in the history of Nobel. Bob Dylan has adhered to his own musical path for 50 years, never kitsch, never cared about the mainstream of society, and insisted on using music to express himself for decades, singing anti-war, calling for civil rights, etc., and singing ironic and indignant songs in poetic language. Maybe Brother Li, me, and many songwriters can't reach the height of Bob Dylan in their lifetimes, but we still have to learn from his spirit, I think this is the soul of our music creators! ”

The audience applauded for a long time, and Li Jianguo was even more embarrassed, walked down from the high stool, stood on the stage and bowed to Yang An for a long time.

In ancient times, there were allusions to mountains and rivers, and it was difficult to find a bosom friend, and if a person had a confidant, this was the greatest happiness.

Li Jianguo is like this, there are still very difficult stories behind him that have not been told, he has wasted a lot of money over the years because of the pursuit of music, his strange behavior has caused him to lose many promotion opportunities, lost several good jobs, and had to work in a factory in his 30s, his family does not understand him, colleagues think he is very strange, and he has a hard time all the way.

Yang An is his bosom friend, he feels that he can be appreciated by Yang An, and he has died without regrets.

Now let's go to the voting.
