Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Cup of Wine Reminisces the Years
"I'm obedient, is it really him, this world is crazy."
Ye Chen was still shocked and didn't want to believe it.
The Xu Wei in front of him turned out to be a great talent in that world.
That's a man with a story.
It is precisely because of his many experiences that he has written so many popular songs, which are either passionate or silent and tearful.
"How about it, Brother Ye Chen, don't be busy tonight, do you want to have two drinks, brother, I'll have a treat."
Before Ye Chen could recover from the shock, Xu Wei patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and had already invited him.
"Well, okay, I'm really okay tonight."
Xu Wei's invitation, of course Ye Chen would agree.
After all, in that world, Xu Wei is a rock singer that Ye Chen admires very much.
His songs always have the power to touch people's hearts.
When you lose your direction in life, listening to his songs more will calm down your lost heart.
"Silly brother, it's all this time, don't you go back to the dormitory, the door of the dormitory building will be closed in a while."
Ye Fei was worried about his brother.
"Don't worry, I have a place to sleep here, it's a big deal that little brother Ye Chen can sleep here with me."
Xu Wei obviously wanted Ye Chen to stay.
It is rare to have a confidant in life, and Ye Chen's previous work made Xu Wei have a good impression of Ye Chen.
"That's it, little sister, anyway, the escort game is over, and it's okay now, you guys just go back first, Boss Xu and I fall in love, talk about music, and promote each other."
Of course, Ye Chen didn't plan to leave.
"Little Ash, these four big beauties will be handed over to you, you must escort them back to school safely."
Ye Chen had just finished speaking here, and Menghui gave a military salute:
"Guaranteed to get the job done."
This kind of errand, Menghui still likes it.
"Who uses him to protect, with me, who dares to invade our territory."
Guo Yijie clenched her fists and waved, once again showing the strength of her female man.

After Ye Fei and the others left, Ye Chen followed Xu Wei to a good private room.
"You can drink it in white, right?"
Xu Wei asked Ye Chen.
"Let's have beer, you can't drink it if it's white."
Ye Chen's amount of alcohol was average, so he really didn't dare to take it when he heard about drinking liquor.
After opening a few bottles of beer, the waiter brought a few dishes, all of which were Friday's specials.
Ye Chen had just eaten, but he wasn't very hungry, so he ate very little, and most of the time he was drinking with Xu Wei.
What Ye Chen wanted to know most at this moment was how far Xu Wei in this world was from that world.
After all, it is a parallel time and space, and with a slight deviation, the development of the two worlds may be thousands of miles away, let alone one person.
At the wine table, the two drank one by one, and the two chatted very devotedly about the music.
"Brother Ye, the song "I Eat Fried Chicken Pepper on Friday" you sang before is more like a folk song in terms of lyrics and tunes, but when you play it like this with an electric guitar, not to mention, it has a rock flavor."
"This kind of bold idea is really amazing."
Ye Chen poured a sip of beer into his stomach and smiled faintly.
In fact, Ye Chen searched on the browser before, and the combination of rock and folk in this world is basically none.
Because in the eyes of musicians, this is too much of a rebellion.
How can a ballad with a simple and direct melody be combined with rock with a strong rhythm.
And the song "I Eat Fried Chicken and Pepper on Friday" sung by Ye Chen is a bold folk rock.
In fact, on the planet, the emergence of folk rock is also very sensational.
Rice folk rock artist Bob. Dylan played ballads on electric guitar in Newport, which was the hallmark of the birth of folk rock in that world.
But Bob Dylan was booed off the stage at the time, which shows that this new thing was not pleasing at first.
Xu Wei was deeply shocked after hearing this form of singing for the first time, which shows that Xu Wei has an excellent tolerance and exploration of music.
"This is the kind of performance that I thought about when I was thinking about it, and I thought what it would be like to combine quiet folk with dynamic rock."
"That's why there's today's scene, I call it folk rock, how does Brother Wei sound like it?"
Xu Wei's hand holding the wine glass stared in mid-air, and after a moment, he squatted the wine glass against the table with great joy.
"Folk rock, this... This is good, Brother Ye Chen really has you, this step is not something ordinary people dare to take, this is simply the discovery of a new era of music."
Thinking of Ye Chen's folk rock, Xu Wei poured the wine in his cup into his mouth.
These four words seemed to be like a thunderbolt, which filled Xu Wei with strength.
The more they drank, the more they drank.
Speaking of which, Xu Wei's alcohol consumption is not large, and when he is slightly drunk, he is more open-minded.
This is Ye Chen, who is also a little drunk.
Ye Chen was about to ask Xu Wei about his past over the years, but he didn't expect that at this time, Xu Wei himself took the initiative to say it.
"Brother Ye Chen, speaking of which, I have never given up on rock and roll over the years, rock and roll, it can even be said that it is the same as the wine in this glass, it is something that is integrated into my blood."
Ye Chen was drinking with great interest, he squinted his eyes slightly, and asked Xu Wei:
"Brother Wei, I think you also seem to be a person with a story, tell me about your experience over the years."
Xu Wei smiled slightly drunkenly, touched the cup with Ye Chen, and said:
"Do you know brother, I'm very happy to drink with you tonight, it can be said that I haven't been so happy for so many years."
Ye Chen raised his head and took a sip of wine, looking at Xu Wei in front of him, thinking about the great talent who created so many excellent works in that world, he also had too many feelings.
The memories of his previous life floating in bars all over the country flashed in front of Ye Chen's eyes from time to time.
"Brother Wei, in fact, I also feel this way, although we haven't known each other for a long time, but we always have a sense of familiarity at first sight."
Ye Chen's words are definitely not polite, after all, in that world, Ye Chen has been watching Xu Wei's singing for ten years.
Xu Wei is still smiling, this smile is much more open than before:
"Brother, when I was 18 years old, I ran away from home before the college entrance examination, I am an intellectual family, I took the exam when I was a child, and I had to be beaten when I went home with a score of 88."
"My parents' expectation for me is to go to university, or even enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
"But the college entrance examination is not what I want to do, I like the guitar."
"When I came out of the house, I didn't have much money with me, but fortunately I joined a small band and performed all over the country."
"At that time, I was still a student of the band, and I got 200 yuan a month, but I was quite satisfied with food and housing."
Ye Chen listened to Xu Wei tell about the past, and his heart was also very touched.
When he was on Earth, Ye Chen was an orphan, and in order to make a living, he was also wandering around the country, how much suffering he had endured, and how many white eyes he had suffered, he couldn't even remember clearly.
After all, at that time, I could mix three meals a day, and lying down in a warm place was the greatest happiness.
"Brother Ye Chen, I really started to like music like crazy, or because of this."
"I was drifting in Beijing at that time, and I was very impressed by this, when a musician asked me, 'Brother, do you know jazz?' ”
"I said I don't know."
"He played a paragraph for me, and I was stupid at the time, this is really not fun."
"Then he played me blues, and then I finally realized that I was a musical idiot."
Speaking of this, even Xu Wei himself laughed.
Ye Chen also laughed, and almost knocked the wine glass in front of him crookedly.
Listening to Xu Wei's tone when he said that he was an idiot, Ye Chen felt very enjoyable.
Self-denial accompanies almost the entire process of everyone's growth.
Maybe three years later, maybe five years later, when I look back at myself today, I feel very naïve and ridiculous.
Even some people look at themselves five years ago and jokingly say:
"Who's that stupid fork, do I know him?"
Xu Wei continued to tell about his extraordinary past.
Xu Wei said that he had been drifting outside like this for more than a year, and later felt that it was not a problem to drift like this all the time, after all, he was just an ordinary member of the thousands of drifting troops.
So, he returned home after more than a year, and when his family asked him to choose between retaking the college entrance examination and enlisting in the army, he chose the latter.
"You know that dreams are something that can't be suppressed, this thing is restless."
"Maybe sometimes you think you're holding it down, but as long as it's not extinguished in your heart, it won't wait for it to rise all at once."
At this time, Xu Wei had almost drunk, although his eyes were not big, but at the moment they were very wide.
This made Ye Chen a little surprised, it turned out that Xu Wei's eyes could be so wide.
"Little Brother Ye Chen, I said that you must know about this."
"Cui Jian knows, the first person to rock in the mainland."
Ye Chen nodded, he had already understood this world, indeed, this world was built by Cui Jian.
"That year, Lao Cui publicly sang "Nothing" in the workers' stadium, which caused a sensation across the country."
Ye Chen recalled and answered:
"That's not it, a roaring throat, a stern face, Lao Cui was a spiritual leader at that time, and I don't know how many underground active bands he influenced."
Xu Wei smiled and gave Ye Chen a thumbs up.
"I listened to Cui Jian at the time, and I asked them if they knew Cui Jian, but they asked me who Cui Jian was?"
"I was in a high-pitched mood at the time, and I shouted loudly like the number of troops when they assembled, 'Cui Jian is very good, very powerful, and the most awesome in Xuanyuan Country.'" ”
"This time they were stunned, they couldn't hear this, and they didn't understand, so they asked me, can you become Cui Jian?"
Xu Wei was silent for a while, and then took a sip of beer before continuing:
"I don't know if I can be a great person like Cui Jian, but I know that I must make music like Cui Jian, I don't know if I have that ability, but I want to try."
Speaking of this, Xu Wei picked up the wine bottle as a microphone and sang drunkenly:
"I used to ask endlessly, when are you going to come with me"
"But you always laugh at me, and you have nothing"
"I want to give you my pursuits, and my freedom"
"But you always laugh at me, and you have nothing"
