Chapter 7 Childhood Memories Are Butterflies
Ye Gui walked into the Western Food Bar, which is a luxurious European-style restaurant, with beautiful lamps, well-arranged dining tables, and comfortable seats.
At this time, there were already many customers in the western food bar, but only gentle piano music echoed in the restaurant, and a noble and romantic atmosphere came to the whole restaurant.
This is a restaurant that did not appear in a previous life, at least not in this era.
Ye Gui looked at the waiters in the restaurant who walked between the tables with plates but did not make any sound, and the very noble-looking grand piano on the protruding circular stage in the middle of the restaurant, he was very sure that there was no such stylish restaurant in the copper market of this era in his original memory.
"Hello sir, do you have a reservation?"
A uniformed greeter walked over and asked Ye Gui, who was standing at the door.
Ye Gui looked at the piano in the restaurant and said to the welcome lady: "I see that you are recruiting pianists here, and I will apply." ”
The welcome lady glanced at Ye Gui, but did not despise him because of Ye Gui's youth: "Our boss will be dining in the restaurant right now, please come with me." ”
Ye Gui, who had experienced so many times of distrust, didn't expect to have a good start this time, his mood was slightly soothed, and he followed in.
The welcome took Ye Gui to a table in the corner of the western restaurant, and said to a fashionably dressed woman among the several people who were eating at the table: "Sister Anna, this gentleman is here to apply for a pianist." ”
The woman who was called Sister Anna listened to the words of welcome, and told a few people around her that she had something to deal with first, so that everyone was free, and a few people expressed their understanding and signaled that she did not have to be polite.
"Hello, I'm Joanna, the owner of this Western restaurant."
The woman stretched out her hand and looked at Ye Gui.
The woman who claims to be the boss is not very old, that is, about twenty-six or seventeen, but she can open such a forward-thinking Western restaurant bar in this era, and the funds behind the scenes are abundant, but the ability of the woman in front of her should also be very good, otherwise her business philosophy will not be qualified to be the manager of such a restaurant.
"Ye Gui."
Joanna's concise but non-oppressive tone made Ye Gui appreciate it very much, and he gently shook the white hand and briefly introduced himself.
Joanna saw that Ye Gui was not very talkative, smiled, and then said straight to the point: "Do you want to apply for a pianist?" Let me introduce you first. This western restaurant bar has just opened, and its reputation is not very big, so I haven't found the pianist I want yet, but that doesn't mean that no one has applied for it, this western bar is my hard work, in order to make it the best restaurant in the copper market, I want to do the best in all aspects, so my pianist's skills are only one aspect, I hope that the guests who come here to dine can hear the emotional performance on the spot, the people who came to apply before, there are teachers who teach piano, and there are music students who study professionally, But none of them quite met my requirements. Of course, corresponding to the requirements, the salary I give is also very high, playing for an hour every night during the prime hour of the meal, and the monthly salary is 1,500 yuan. ”
Joanna smiled after speaking, and looked at Ye Gui with confidence.
In this copper market, when the salary of ordinary workers is only six or seven hundred a month, they can earn 1,500 yuan for one hour of work a day, which should be unimaginable for people in this era.
But Ye Gui is not a person of this era, he has been in and out of countless Western food bars in later generations, he knows very well how important the live music is to the style of a Western food bar, if Joanna can make this restaurant the best restaurant in the copper market, then this 1500 yuan is just a small meaning.
Seeing Ye Gui very calm and untouched, Joanna was a little surprised that she didn't expect the other party to look very young, but more calm than she imagined, maybe this teenager is really suitable or not, Joanna, who has studied abroad for many years, has an open-minded mind than most people in China now, she knows that sometimes age is only one aspect of strength, which is especially obvious in art.
Both of them knew that the previous ones were just polite words, so there was no point in talking nonsense at this time, Joanna pointed to the piano on the stage: "Since you came to apply, the piano must be at a good level, try it, piano music or play and sing." ”
Ye Gui vaguely saw that Joanna's thoughts were not as traditional as he imagined, and this should be an opportunity to show his strength, so he immediately stopped hesitating, walked over and sat on the stool in front of the piano, adjusted the height of the seat, and then looked at Joanna who was standing and watching in the distance.
If her appreciation for music was as advanced as the style of this restaurant, then the melodies in her head would be of use.
Ye Gui, who was sitting in front of the piano, no longer thought about the previous failed auditions in those bars, he decided to no longer care about whether his music would be accepted by this era, and really played it with his own strength.
Looking around, the guests who dined looked up one after another, Ye Gui looked at those curious, suspicious, distrustful eyes, and suddenly thought of a story of struggling in a strange world like him.
According to the history of the previous life, that story will be put on the screen in two years and become a classic in the hearts of people of an era. In the story, an 11-year-old boy and his six friends are mysteriously transported to a world full of Digimon while attending a summer camp together, and in that strange world, they finally win and stop the chaos of the world through countless efforts and great sacrifices.
Ye Gui didn't know if this was the earliest time travel anime, but he experienced the mood of the teenagers in that anime at this time, Ye Gui, who had the memory of rebirth, always had a sense of estrangement from this era, on the one hand, he had a huge regret in his heart and wanted to change, on the other hand, he was very difficult to move forward because of various problems.
Close your eyes, place your left hand naturally on your lap, and slowly lift your right hand and then slowly fall.
Two beautiful high-pitched notes appeared at the same time, and then the dexterous right hand continued to play, and the familiar melody in Ye Gui's mind slowly flowed out of his hand, and after two bars, the bass accompaniment of the left hand also joined.
Ye Gui played with both hands, a quiet and soothing piano sound sounded, and the familiar melody came, slowly evoking the thoughts in his mind, this is the melody of Digimon's opening song "Butterfly", as a masterpiece in the hearts of the post-80s and post-90s, this classic anime work has not only accompanied countless people's childhood, but its opening song has also become a classic in the hearts of many people.
This song sang everyone's yearning for that magical world when they were children and the excitement every time they were ready to watch anime, and it also became popular with Koji Wada.
As the singer of the theme song of this phenomenal anime, Koji Wada became famous with the high spread of the anime, and directly became a first-line singer in the eyes of the public at that time. However, because Koji Wada's throat tumor voice changed later, that touching high-pitched voice also became a memory, and Koji Wada sang a total of three versions of "Butterfly" before Koji Wada's voice changed.
But the melody of the piano played by Ye Gui at this time is not a singing version, but a pure piano version of the adaptation of "butterfly" by a piano master named animenz on the Internet in his previous life. The romantic piano melody does not have the passionate rhythm of the original electric guitar, and instead has a warm feeling of remembering the past.
Joanna looked at Ye Gui playing affectionately on the stage, and she seemed to feel an adult's nostalgia for the past in the melody of the piano, a feeling of paying tribute to the innocent feelings of her youth after growing up.
After the piano version of the melody was played, the surrounding guests looked at Ye Gui with a very appreciative look, and there was a round of applause in the restaurant, but Ye Gui did not end the performance, the piano sound changed from a complete melody to the accompaniment of chords, and he opened his eyes and approached the mike on the piano
I want to be a butterfly
Fly high with the breeze
Right now
Just want to meet you soon
……
There is a very slow lyrical version of Koji Wada, and everyone was very moved when they listened to it, but Ye Gui was singing a Chinese lyrical version covered by a girl in later generations, and his voice was very gentle, as if he was slowly telling his childhood.
Ye Gui only used a simple piano accompaniment and a gentle and lyrical voice, but the guests around him seemed to hear the carefree life of school from the singing. At that time, there was no need to think too much about things every day, the students in the small town read books when they were in class, and they walked with a partner all the way after school, everyone talked and laughed on the road, everyone was still young at that time, and a pond, a dandelion, and a butterfly encountered on the way home were the happiest things.
Ye Gui sang with affection, he had an inexplicable nostalgia in his heart, the children of that era in the previous life worked hard to finish their homework at school every day, just to watch this anime before going home for dinner, at the beginning of the opening song, maybe their parents were cooking, and occasionally they could hear the sound of stir-frying in the kitchen, if the anime was not finished by the time they ate, the children would have to drag it out until the family began to call them by their full names.
At that time, when Ye Gui was in college, he would also collect all kinds of peripherals about these things, stickers, coins, and booklets, and whoever had a set of coins at that time would attract a bunch of people to gather around to watch
There seems to be wowwow~
Something will happen under this clear sky
Behind the dream that stretches infinitely
Travel through a cold and unforgiving world
I don't want to lose to myself
Having your beautiful memories will make me work harder
……
Ye Gui remembered the innocent appearance of the girl who followed him when he was a child, the cold eyes when he met her again during the day, and the unfortunate experience of her in the future.
I thought of the words that the young girl said when she held her hand when she moved, and we were still best friends when we met again.
But as time matured, the innocence and emotion of childhood slowly became a thing of the past.
In the previous life, when Ye Gui and the girl met again in high school, the two were no longer the original children, the girl had the reserve of a girl and the cold temperament produced by years of superior life, and Ye Gui also had a sense of contrast between the two and the scruples of being in the limelight.
So the childhood feelings in my memory never came back.
…
Believe that love never ends
Even if you run into a problem once in a while
It will definitely save the day
ohmylove
ohmylove
……
Ye Gui on the stage sang his feelings in the simplest way of singing.
In his song, the memory of that childhood turned into a butterfly, spreading its wings and flying in the wind, it flew from the past, and slowly flew into the distance, with the best feelings in life to the distance.
The scene was quiet, and the guests looked at the boy in silence, they didn't expect such an ordinary teenager to play such a warm melody, and they couldn't imagine that such a teenager's singing voice would have such touching emotions.
Joanna was silent, she loved music very much, she had a better understanding of music than most people in this era, she had heard too many different music, but none of them had a huge contrast in her heart like now, she looked at the clean teenager in front of her, and her heart was very moved.
It's a very simple melody, but why does it feel like tears?
