Chapter 22 The Intersection of the Deed
Comparing a song with a movie, composition is just equivalent to a script, and what is needed at this stage is inspiration, but the real arrangement is the stage that tests a person's musical literacy. Only with good arrangement can this song become a complete movie and a complete work.
With Chen Mo's singing, it is equivalent to setting the main tone for this song, and the rest is to use those instruments to fully express the charm of this song. There is no rush at this stage, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and in order for the public to accept this song, the arrangement needs to be carefully polished.
However, this is Chen Mo's shortcoming, except for the hints brought to him by the vague background music in his memory, he can't give any advice. Everyone here has a higher level of music than him, and he naturally will not expose his shortcomings.
From childhood to adulthood, he had different dreams at different stages of his life. When he was a child, he dreamed of being a scientist, and when he was in junior high school, he wanted to be a traveler, and he took Roujia all over the world, and when he entered high school, he was influenced by his neighbor Grandpa Chu and wanted to become a translator. Throughout, he never wanted to be a musician. Although rock 'n' roll is his hobby, it is just a hobby, which has never coincided with his life goal.
A group of musicians with common hobbies, get along together, and time always flies very quickly. When Chen Mo and Zheng Jun pulled out half of the score of "Elopement", it was already noon.
Zheng Jun was also very excited, and said happily: "Although I only got half of the song, let me have a treat today." Wang Feng, the Conservatory of Music is your place, what are some delicious restaurants nearby?! ”
"There is a Sichuan restaurant behind the concert hall, which is affordable, and we often have tooth sacrifices there, and we will slaughter you today."
Among all of them, Zheng Jun should have the most bulging pockets, not only because he became famous early, but also because he has a good wife, and he invested in a bar in Jinghu early on. Although the fat man Lao Zang and the Tang Dynasty band became famous earlier than him, there is no woman to restrain him, his hands are very loose, and he is really not as good as him in terms of family background.
After walking a little north from the gate of the conservatory, a group of people turned into the alley. Although the location of this Sichuan restaurant is not very good, it is located in the innermost part of the alley, but on one side is the side entrance of the Conservatory of Music, and on the other side is the back door of the No. 4 Middle School International College, so the business is still good. The summer vacation passed, and the students began to report again, and if they hadn't started to set their seats, there really wouldn't have been anywhere to sit.
Although Zheng Jun paid for it, Wang Feng arranged everything properly, and not long after they sat down, the boss set a large table of dishes full of color and flavor. Nearly 20 people were crammed into a large table, and beer was poured down as if it didn't cost money.
Throughout the afternoon, the best place for business here is the toilet in the small shop, where people come and go. All of you here are northerners, or grew up in the north, and they are not afraid to drink liquor, and beer is only poured with cold water.
Li Shan accompanied her mother to finish shopping, and when she came over, although Chen Mo didn't drink too much, she was also a little dizzy. As soon as Li Shan entered the house, she was stunned by the full house of beer bottles, less than 20 people, drinking nearly 300 bottles of 600ml beer, most of which were wine money.
It wasn't Chen Mo who drank the most, he was still a little reserved, and he didn't drink after drinking almost twelve bottles. And the fat man Lao Zang, he drank more than 20 bottles alone, and when he heard Li Shan's surprise, he patted his big belly and smiled: "What is this, if there is nothing to do at night, we will drink until midnight, and I can drink two more cases!" ”
That being said, by the time he came out of the cavern, he was already shaking. Except for Chen Mo and Zheng Jun, who was in charge of paying the bill, everyone else drank a little too much. A large group of old men sang in the alley, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
Zheng Jun grabbed Chen Mo, who was about to leave with Li Shan, and said, "If you have time to sit at my bar these days, I will also introduce my wife to you and get to know you. ”
"Then I'll make a lot of money with this cheap, don't think I'm going too much in the future!"
"I see you haven't drunk too much, and it's dinner time now, why don't we find a place to continue?!"
Chen Mo hugged Li Shan and said with a smile: "Forget it today, I still have to accompany my wife well, and I'll call you again when I get back and have a good drink." ”
"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, besides, I drank so much alcohol and can't drive, and I still want your wife to drive me back!"
Chen Mo looked back at Li Shan, Li Shan was not disgusted with the handsome Zheng Jun, and said with a smile: "What do you want me to do?" When did I ever mind your drinking?! ”
"Let's go!" Zheng Jun gave him a punch and smiled: "I'm really happy to meet you today, I didn't have fun at noon, let's drink a little more later." ”
Chen Mo hurriedly begged for mercy, "Just spare me!" I don't want to drink any wine at this time, so I want to have a bowl of cold noodles to cushion my stomach. ”
A large group of people divided their things at the gate of the Conservatory, and Li Shan drove the car, taking Chen Mo and Zheng Jun, along Chang'an Avenue until the International Trade Center, and then turned north again. After a short distance of Lufthansa, you will arrive at Xiaoyun Road, where Zheng Jun's Jinyi Jade Food Bar is located on Xiaoyun Road.
Chen Mo met Sun Feng, the prototype character of Cinderella's song for the first time, although she is not very beautiful, but she is definitely a good wife and mother, gentle and sincere, and soon won Li Shan's love, and the two women became good sisters after a while, leaving the two men aside.
"I saw you singing in the morning, and you sang very well, so you didn't want to take this road?!"
"Music was just a hobby for me, and I never wanted to develop in this area. You've also seen that how many musicians are good now?! Most of them are grassroots, like you, how much money can you make from a record? It's not about making money by walking the catwalk everywhere and running on the field! I don't want to go around whispering and pretending to be grandchildren, or live a little more freely like now, that's what I like. ”
Zheng Jun laughed: "It can be seen that your family background is not thin, otherwise, you would not be so arrogant." How many people are there now, even if they want to keep their voices down, no one is waiting to see them! ”
"It's okay, I'm from Beijing, I have my own place to live and a car. I'm also willing to live simply, without much desire for material things. Money, to be able to maintain the basic living requirements, a little leeway is good, if for more money, just live a life you don't want to live, that's not the end of the day! ”
"You still have the confidence to be rich!"
"I really don't have any money...... Looking at Zheng Jun's disbelief, Chen Mo explained: "To tell you the truth, I just graduated from college this year, and I am going to work in a few days, how much money do you say I can have?!" The real assets that belong to me are a house in Anhuili and a car. My mom and dad got divorced and started a new family, and I didn't think about getting anything more from them anyway, so ah, don't look like I look good, it's just an empty shelf. ”
Zheng Jun heard him say that his parents were divorced, so he changed the topic and said with a smile: "Then you come to my bar to perform, about half an hour a day, a fixed appearance fee of 200 yuan, if you can get the love of women, you will also charge a lot of tips for one night." ”
Chen Mo laughed, "I don't even want to be a singer, you let me perform?!" ”
"This is different, one is work, the other is entertainment, if you want to, you can come and yell for a while, and if you have money to take it, just use this place as a karaoke hall."
"Forget it, I can't lower your style here. However, it's good to come and play once in a while, and I usually sing your songs very well. ”
Zheng Jun took a sip of tea and asked, "Then what kind of entertainment do you usually like?" When you have time, you can get together more. I realize that I like you more and more. ”
"Because of what?"
"Because of your attitude towards money, because you have no money, you wrote songs for us, and insisted on not asking for money, of course, more importantly, because of your attitude towards life. We are all just ordinary members in this world, the so-called life, all for profit, to have a friend who sees himself very clearly, is a very happy thing. ”
Chen Mo stretched out his hand and patted him on the leg and smiled: "I'm also very happy to be friends with you!" ”
Between men, even if they begin to understand, but both people will continue to try, and it always takes time to ferment or catalyze by chance to make this friendship deep and sincere.
But between women, maybe just because of the right eye, maybe just because of a compliment, they will immediately become good friends. Of course, this kind of friendship between them is not as good as the friendship of men from an emotional point of view.
The same is true for Li Shan and Zheng Jun's wife Sun Feng, she can have an opinion on Ran Ran because of Ran Ran's words, because of her liking for Su Mu, she has formed an alliance, and now she has quickly become good friends with Sun Feng, at least, it seems to be good friends.
The two of them brought back a pot of Cantonese-style seafood porridge, a large portion of cold noodles mixed with a few side dishes from the ramen restaurant, and quickly set up a position in a small office upstairs at the bar.
In fact, at this time, the bar has not yet served customers, but eating here will leave the taste of food here, which will reduce the atmosphere of the bar and make customers disgusted.
Zheng Jun drank well, and Chen Mo was not bad, but none of them drank at night. Sometimes, the relationship does not arrive, and you need wine to make up, but if you really feel it, even if it is just a simple glass of boiled water, the other party will not mind.
