Chapter 602: Rock and Roll Cui Jian (Ask for Subscription)
Han Jin heard that there was Cui Jian's performance later, so he immediately planned to rush over to enjoy it. ※%Top※%Dot※%Small※%Say,
Cui Jianke is one of the mainland musicians he admires the most, and his music is still full of vitality even now. It's much stronger than those pseudo-rocks who only know how to sing "Blooming", "Dreaming", and "Life".
"What, aren't we going back to CCTV rehearsal?" Chen Ming asked in surprise when he heard Han Jin say this.
"There's no hurry, the rehearsal can be any time." Han Jin waved his hand.
When Chen Ming saw him say this, he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to nod.
After a while, after eating, Han Jin paid for the bill.
Seeing the thick pile of foreign exchange coupons he took out, everyone present couldn't help but grunt and swallowed heavily.
In the 80s, 10,000 households were just legends.
And the thick pile of foreign exchange coupons in Han Jin's hand has obviously exceeded 10,000 yuan.
Theoretically, foreign exchange bills are exchanged for RMB at the same price, but in fact, on the black market, RMB is much cheaper.
In other words, the pile of money in Han Jin's hands is far more than 10,000 yuan, which is a veritable "10,000 yuan household".
This can't help but cast envious, jealous and hateful glances at him.
"Mr. Han, your wealth is not exposed." Chen Ming said busily.
Han Jin nodded, in fact, he didn't mean it, but he usually swiped his card for dinner, and rarely took out cash, so he accidentally took out a lot.
Putting the money back in his wallet, after Han Jin finished settling the bill, he went out with Chen Ming to pick up the car.
"Sir, do you want to exchange foreign exchange coupons?" As soon as he walked out of the door, someone rushed out and asked.
Han Jin was stunned, "What?" ”
"I asked you if you could exchange foreign exchange coupons, and I would exchange them with you in RMB. One hundred and two to one hundred. The man said. Wearing a pair of eyes, a little polite.
"Go. Go, we don't change. Chen Ming drove the car over at this time, and when he saw that someone was harassing Han Jin, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
In China, it is illegal to exchange foreign exchange vouchers without permission.
"Please, sir. I want a foreign exchange coupon to use urgently. That's good, one hundred for three, okay? Seeing Chen Ming say this, the man hurriedly said again.
"Go, go, I'll call the police again." Chen Ming immediately scolded.
Seeing Chen Ming's fierce words, the man was obviously not easy to provoke, so he had no choice but to leave.
Han Jin saw the loneliness in his eyes, it didn't seem like he was pretending. Hurriedly shouted, "Wait." ”
The man quickly turned around when he heard this, "Sir, do you agree?" ”
"Mr. Han, it is illegal to exchange foreign exchange coupons without permission." Chen Ming hurriedly reminded.
Although there are now cases of exchanging foreign exchange coupons without permission, and Han Jin is the guest of honor invited this time, even if he exchanges it privately, he can't do anything, but this example still can't be opened.
"It's fine." Han Jin waved his hand. "What do you need a foreign exchange coupon for?" He asked curiously.
"I'm going to buy a bike for my daughter, but I don't have a bike ticket. You can only take a foreign exchange coupon to buy it at the Friendship Store. The man explained.
"How much does a bike cost?" Han Jin asked suspiciously.
"Two hundred foreign exchange coupons." The man said.
Han Jin smiled, and then took out two hundred foreign exchange coupons directly from his pocket, "Here, take it." ”
"Mr. Han!" When Chen Ming saw it, he couldn't help but say anxiously.
He was from Xinhua News Agency, and on the surface he looked like a news agency. In fact, there are other tasks on the body.
We must not stand idly by and watch this kind of violation.
"Thank you, sir, I'll look for you two hundred and six." The man hurriedly said.
"You're welcome, you can take the money." Han Jin waved his hand, and then smiled at Chen Ming. "I'm not exchanging foreign exchange coupons without permission, am I?"
Seeing him say this, Chen Ming couldn't help but nod awkwardly.
"Sir, what's so embarrassing." When the man heard Han Jin say this, he took the two hundred foreign exchange coupons he handed over, and blushed and didn't know what to do.
Han Jin waved his hand, "You're welcome." Alright, let's go. ”
Chen Ming nodded, and then rushed to Beiying with Han Jin.
"......" The man saw Han Jin leave in the car, holding two 100-yuan foreign exchange coupons in his hand, and was stunned there.
"Daddy!" At this time, a little girl with pink carving came out of the hotel, and when she saw him stunned there, she couldn't help but tug at the corner of his clothes curiously and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh, nothing." The man waved his hand, "Yuanyuan, you're going to have a bike soon, aren't you happy?" ”
"Really?" When the little girl heard this, she immediately said happily, "Happy! ”
……
"Mr. Han is really generous, two hundred foreign exchange coupons, just like that." Chen Ming said with some emotion.
Two hundred foreign exchange coupons can be exchanged for almost two hundred and sixty yuan on the black market, which is almost equivalent to half a year's salary for a person.
"If you're short on money, I can give you some. Anyway, I have so much in my pocket that I can't spend it all. Han Jin said with a smile.
"Don't, don't, I can't take your money, I'll make a mistake." Chen Ming hurriedly waved his hand.
Han Jin smiled, "Okay." ”
drove all the way to Beiying, Han Jin then inquired and came to Beiying's canteen.
I saw that although the performance had not yet started, a lot of people had already gathered.
Han Jin and Chen Ming squeezed into the crowd and saw several people debugging musical instruments.
Lead guitar, backing guitar, drum kit, bass...... Everything but the kitchen sink.
And these people who are busy are Cui Jian, **, Zhou Xiaoming, An Shaohua, Wenbo, Yang Le, and Li Xiuli.
All of them are trend-setters of this era, and Han Jin has admired them for a long time.
"Cui Jian!" "Cui Jian!" "Cui Jian!" ……
As the show is about to begin, the audience gathers more and more, and the atmosphere gradually heats up.
The sound of their instruments was already exciting for those present.
Among them, there are many fanatical female fans, screaming Cui Jian's name, which is no different from those female fans in Japan and Hong Kong.
When Han Jin heard their voices, he couldn't help but feel like he was back in Hong Kong, it was too similar.
It seems that people's feelings are always the same, no matter where they are, Hong Kong. Japan, Britain or the capital of God, the way of expression is still the same.
Soon they set up the instruments and the show began.
The first song is "It's Not That I Don't Understand".
As soon as the drum kit sounded and the electric guitar was played, the scene immediately became high.
People in the '80s had just experienced that movement. Under heavy pressure, it is like a spring, some people become more and more courageous, the heavier the pressure, the higher the bounce; Some of them overwhelmed the strength, and their backbones were broken, and they couldn't recover.
And the part of people gathered here now undoubtedly belongs to the kind of people who are pressed harder, and the higher the rebound. That's why they love rock 'n' roll at heart.
Because the core of rock music is truth, freedom, and intensity. Real psychological experience, strong emotional expression, free expression of thoughts.
"It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast." When Cui Jian shouted this sentence, the audience shouted along.
Even Han Jin was enthusiastic about Cui Jian's performance, and couldn't help but cheer him with everyone.
"There's media coming!" Just when the song "It's Not That I Don't Understand" was sung, Cui Jian was about to sing "I Love My Guitar", when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind the crowd.
Then the crowd automatically split into a lane, and four or five foreigners carrying cameras poured in.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they didn't know what was going on. One student helped explain, "They're CBS. Let's shoot 'Chinese rock'. ”
Hearing people shouting like this, everyone immediately became excited.
In the 80s, China had just opened its doors and announced that it would take the road of reform and opening up. The United States welcomed this, thinking that China would abandon the first and move towards the capitalist road.
Therefore, not only did we sincerely invite Deng Gong to visit the United States. It also encouraged Mi capital to invest in China, such as Coca-Cola, McDonald's, etc., which have landed in China successively, and even invited China to develop weapons together.
People still have great admiration and respect for the United States. Regard it as an overseas paradise, worship its culture, its economy, and its institutions.
TV series "Garrison's Expendables" and "Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic" from the United States, jeans and toad glasses from the United States. Rock music and videos from the United States are popular, and many people in China want to immigrate to the United States.
In the 90s, there was a sensational TV series "Shendu People in New York", which was filmed under this background. There are also directors in Hong Kong who have shot similar films, such as "Days of Love in a Foreign Country" co-starred by Zhang Manyu and Leung Jiahui.
Therefore, when the students heard that the media of the United States were going to shoot "Chinese rock", they immediately boiled, unlike twenty years later, the Chinese people all knew the sentence "You can't be too n!" "Don't say they're welcome to shoot, it's okay if you don't beat them out.
These CBS staff also heard that China's first rock band was performing here today, so they immediately came to see the spirit of Chinese young people.
You must know that rock and roll developed from the United States, and a few years ago, it was absolutely unthinkable that anyone in the interior of China would dare to sing this kind of song. Therefore, this matter is very meaningful, representing China's progress and the strength of China's soft power.
They walked through the passage, and then began to set up the machine, preparing to video the performance of Cui Jian and others.
Cui Jiandu was facing foreign media for the first time, and he couldn't help but be a little excited, and when he didn't know what to say, Yang Le suddenly pointed at him and shouted loudly to the camera, "His name is Cui Jian!" his-name-is-cuijian! ”
The audience at the scene also shouted loudly together, which made Cui Jian can't help but shed tears with excitement.
When Han Jin saw this situation, he couldn't help but be a little moved.
When he was about to continue watching Cui Jian's performance, he suddenly noticed that a foreigner was looking at him with blazing eyes.
Han Jin glanced sideways, glanced at him, and saw that his eyes lit up, and quickly turned his head around.
"Ah, aren't you Han?" The foreigner exclaimed in surprise, "Stiller, look, it's Han!" He pointed at Han Jin with an excited face.
As a journalist, the first thing is to be quick-sighted. If you don't even know important news figures, how can you find news?!
Videographer Stiller also hurriedly pointed the camera over, and sure enough, he saw Han Jin's side face appear in the lens. Although he lowered his head and turned his face sideways, deliberately avoiding the filming, he still recognized him.
"Han, it's really you!" These CBS people immediately surrounded Han Jin.
Everyone present saw that they were so excited, and they still didn't know what was going on.
Although they may have heard Han Jin's songs, they may not know him as a person.
Cui Jian and others on the stage were also stunned, didn't they say that they wanted to shoot "Chinese rock", what is the reason for moving the camera away now?
"Han, I didn't expect you to come here when you weren't in Hong Kong. Can you do an interview with us? The journalist warmly invited.
Han Jin glanced at him coldly, "There's no time!" ”
Seeing him refuse like this, the reporter hurriedly said, "Then let's make an appointment, when you think it's appropriate, when you want." By the way, my name is Ben, this is my business card, you can call me anytime. ”
"Not interested." Han Jin said coldly again.
"Oh, I recognize him, he's the guy who sang 'I Believe' and 'True Hero.'" Suddenly, there was a roar from the crowd. (To be continued......)
