Chapter 104: May

As soon as Director Wang, who roared like thunder, turned around, he saw Huang Yuhai, one of the three chief directors of the May Fourth Gala, walking over, followed by five or six reporters, and immediately calmed down and said, "Director Huang, it's just a trivial matter. ”

In recent years, the country has repeatedly emphasized attaching importance to the spiritual civilization construction of young people, so CCTV's May Fourth Gala has been getting higher and higher year by year, and more than 1,500 college students have been recruited this year, setting a record for the scale, and there are many people in charge, so several people in charge have been arranged according to the type of program, Director Wang is the director in charge of music programs, the reason why he calmed down, turned the big thing into a small thing, and gently revealed it was because he knew very well that he couldn't put Qiao Yadan - the song "Tomorrow Will Be Better", It was sent on the day of the application deadline, and as soon as it came, it topped the chorus of "Dream of a Strong Country" rehearsed by the Central Conservatory of Music for a long time, and became the finale of this year's May Fourth Gala.

Whether it's because the quality of the song is really high, or because there is a promoter behind the scenes, all in all, this program of 60 college students singing is registered on it, Qiao Yadan is the lead singer set in the planning book, at most she can only make it difficult for her, and she can't move her, Director Huang is a good old man and easy to talk, but he is followed by a group of reporters, if it makes a big scene, it will not be good for him - you are an experienced director of the program group, and you can't suppress a student during the rehearsal, where is the face? Where is the ability?

Huang Yuhai has a good temper, seeing that his anger has not subsided, but he is unwilling to talk in detail, he is not reluctant, and is about to say a few words about the scene, when a female reporter with a watermelon head cut behind him asked: "Director Wang, is Qiao Yadan playing a big name and not listening to you?" ”

Nima, which pot is not opened......

Director Wang coughed and said, "There are some minor problems in communication. It's nothing. ”

Seeing this, Huang Yuhai said in a deep voice: "Classmate Qiao Yadan, don't be complacent just because you have a little fame, Director Wang is the director, you have to respect him." ”

Qiao Yadan slowly wiped his cheeks from top to bottom with both hands. Then he said: "Director Wang, I apologize to you, I'm sorry, I lost control of my emotions just now, I'm sorry." ”

Director Wang had a cold face, waved his hand, and said lightly: "It's okay." ”

"Director Huang, I'm really not playing a big name, I'm just in a bad mood. My dad and my mom heard that I was going to go to the CCTV party. I was so happy that I came to Beijing to see me. Qiao Yadan slowly sat down on the steps in the center of the stage, lowered his head and said: "My mother has never been far away, my father is disabled, and his legs are inconvenient, so after I went to the train station to pick them up last night, I stayed with them, and returned to the hotel arranged by the school this morning." It was found that someone had entered the room, and the luggage had been cut with a knife. ”

"How so?"

"I asked my classmates. I went to the service desk to check the monitoring again, and it turned out that at about two o'clock in the middle of the night last night, Wang Zhihong brought a few strange men into my room. ”

The female reporter with the watermelon head asked: "Who is Wang Zhihong?" ”

"He said that he was Director Wang's nephew, and yesterday he said that he would invite me to dinner with a few classmates, but I didn't go because I was going to the train station." Qiao Yadan looked at Director Wang. said: "Director Wang always has a cold face today, and keeps saying that there is a problem with my singing, I have been scared, and I was excited just now, and my emotions got out of control." ”

Director Wang's face is like a pig's liver. reluctantly said: "I didn't know that there was such a thing in Lu Dao, saying that there was a problem with your singing, just talking about things." ”

No one paid attention to him, and a reporter asked, "Qiao Yadan, did you call the police?" ”

"No, I heard that Wang Zhihong is very energetic, I am afraid that he will come to find trouble when he calls the police."

"What energy is big with the law!" Huang Yuhai put his hands behind his back, frowned and said, "This is not a trivial matter, you better let the police deal with it." Xiao Wang, how did you do this nephew? ”

"Director Huang, he is the child of my cousin's family, I don't know him well, and I don't know what he usually does." Director Wang called out and defended: "I really don't know what to do about this. ”

"Qiao Yadan, it's better for you to call the police, if you stay in the hotel last night, the consequences are really unimaginable." The female reporter of watermelon peel shook her head and sighed, and said with emotion: "It's really a good person with a good reward, and filial piety saved you." ”

Qiao Yadan sat there, fear, anger and sweetness coexisted in her heart, if it weren't for Fang Xiao's surprise move, she might have had an unexpected disaster last night, and her whole life would be ruined......

Is this fate, or providence?

He was meant to be by me!

……

"It is said on the Internet that there are a lot of people singing here, why haven't I seen any of them?"

"Maybe at night, not during the day."

"Look again."

Fang Xiao and Xu Xu wandered around the People's Square, wandering for a while, only to find a street singer, a guy who looked like he was in his 20s and 30s, holding a half-new guitar, sitting in front of a flower bed and singing to himself, with a guitar box in front of him, sparsely throwing dozens of yuan inside, surrounded by seven or eight audiences.

Generally, singing will use an electric box guitar, which is louder and can attract more audiences, but this person uses an acoustic guitar, playing and singing averagely, but he doesn't seem to care, burying himself in singing his own songs, regardless of whether anyone gives money.

After listening to it for a while, he urged Fang Xiao: "When he finishes singing this song, you can borrow his guitar and use it." ”

"Why don't we go buy one?"

"It's good to borrow it."

"Okay then."

After the man finished playing and singing, he didn't make any pauses, and directly started to play the next song, as soon as the prelude sounded, Fang Xiao and Xu Xu looked at each other and smiled, this is "Evening Wind" - "Evening Wind" by the Good Sister Band.

After F&Q's reputation rose, those songs "Evening Wind" were gradually forgotten, firstly, Fang Xiao did not post the studio version of these songs, and secondly, the videos taken at the twilight bar were not clear, and many people were not interested in watching them, but in a sense, those "Evening Breeze" were the catalyst for Fang Xiao to allow the three of Boyadan to get married, and they would not forget it anyway, so when they heard this song, they felt very cordial.

The man should have taken the score from the video, some of the melodies are plausible and inaccurate, but watching him play and sing, he obviously enjoyed it and liked the song.

Wait until he's done singing. Fang Xiao took out a hundred-yuan bill, put it in the guitar case, and then said, "Friend, can you borrow a guitar and use it?" My girlfriend insisted that I sing to her. ”

The man was slightly stunned, nodded, and handed over the guitar. said: "I just want to smoke a cigarette too, come on." ”

Fang Xiao sat down on the edge of the flowerbed next to him, plucked a few chords casually, and tried the feel and intonation.

"Dude, it looks like you're at a good level." The man took out his cigarette case and motioned, "Do you want to have a root?" ”

"I won't smoke, thank you." Fang Xiao declined and asked for permission: "What song to sing?" ”

Permission to look left, look right. Then he pointed to the cigarette in the man's hand and said, "Sing a song that criticizes cigarettes." ”

"That's a bit weird for you, isn't it?"

"I'm happy."

I'll play with you to the end today......

Fang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, went to chat with the man, and asked, "What does the eldest brother do?" ”

"I'm driving the bus." The man took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Rest today, I have nothing to do." Just run out and play. ”

"It's quite literary and artistic, don't you accompany your wife?"

"No car, no house. Where can anyone look at it in Songjiang? Alone. ”

Fang Xiao sighed, began to pluck the guitar, and after a few plucks, he began to strump the strings violently, and then began to sing.

“……

We are the bravest smokers

Believe that happiness is more important than life

The lungs become black, as long as the heart does not remain black

Nothing is a big deal

We are the most devout smokers

Pray at least twenty times a day

Smoke a cigarette

as burning a pillar of incense

Say good people and you will be rewarded

……”

Fang Xiao rehearses every day and polishes all kinds of polishing. Whether it is guitar, voice or singing skills, he is much taller than that man, and the difference between the two is as big as the difference between Ferrari and Santana, and the People's Square is bustling. The crowd was dense, and he only sang for a while, and there were a lot more onlookers.

After he finished singing, a middle-aged man who also smoked took out ten yuan, threw it in the guitar case, and said: "The lungs are black and the heart is not black, good people have good rewards, and the song is good." ”

Fang Xiao hugged the guitar, folded his hands, bowed his head in thanks, and a few more people dropped some coins.

"Let you criticize cigarettes, you are good, praise cigarettes!" Xu Xu stood beside him, smiled and said coquettishly, "Punish you for singing a song again." ”

The man turned his head sideways and looked Fang Xiao and Xu Xu up and down, with a puzzled look on his face - Fang Xiao was wearing a baseball cap, and Xu Xu was wearing pink sunglasses, and he couldn't see his true face clearly.

"What are you singing this time?"

"Whatever." Xu pushed his sunglasses with his index finger, looked at the guitar case, and said, "This time you are going to sing for 100 yuan." ”

"That's too hard, isn't it?" Fang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "We are performers, not robbers. ”

"Then it's up to you."

Fang Xiao groaned slightly, stood up with the guitar, picked up the strap in the box, and asked, "Big brother, can you use it?" ”

The man seemed to recognize Fang Xiao, threw away the cigarette butt, stepped forward to help him put on the strap, and asked in a low voice, "Are you Fang Xiao?" ”

"Yes. Big brother's surname? ”

"Don't give your surname Zhang, Zhang Cheng." The man hung up his strap, grabbed Fang Xiao's shoulder hard, and said, "You are my idol, it's an honor to meet you today!" ”

He was not tall, but he had a lot of strength, Fang Xiao felt that sincerity, his heart was warm, and he hurriedly said, "Xie Lu Xie." ”

Zhang Cheng used his strength again, then let go of him, retreated to the side of the flower bed, turned over the newspaper on the cement platform and put it away, please allow me to sit, I declined.

Fang Xiao raised his hands above his head, clapped his hands a few times, and then said loudly: "Uncle and aunt, handsome guys and beauties, all of you who have passed by have come to take a look, take a look, the just baked crazy man and woman auction!" ”

He used vocal skills, full of energy, his voice spread far and wide, and his words were funny, which immediately attracted many people who watched the excitement, and allowed him to laugh while hiding his face with his hands......

Fang Xiao yelled a few more times, and waited for the crowd to almost surround before he began to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, this Bai Fumei, who is wearing a famous brand and holding a famous brand in her hand, is my girlfriend, she said that if I can't make any more money today, I will have to worship with me, no way, Xiaosheng has to make a little money by performing here, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, some people are holding a personal field, and those who are rich are holding a money field, one dollar is not too little, and a hundred yuan is not too much." If you think my performance is passable, please give me a lot of rewards, thank you very much! ”

He himself is not wearing ordinary goods, and he has repeatedly stretched his face, failed repeatedly, and has a smile on the corner of his mouth. There is no appearance of breaking up at all, it is obviously the rhythm of young people flirting and scolding, some of the onlookers are coaxing, some are laughing, and more and more people gather.

Xu couldn't hold back, and said coquettishly: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and sing!" ”

“……

There were nine suns hanging in the big sky

But my heart was only thinking of a girl

Want to buy chewing gum at a roadside stall

I found that I was a little nervous in my wallet

……

I don't have any money, I'm shameless

I just want her love to give me a little bit

I don't have any money, I'm shameless

I just want her gentleness to give me a little bit

……”

Fang Xiao carried the guitar on his back. While walking back and forth, while playing and singing, he has a very good sense of presence, and the guitar plays as he likes, as if a part of his body, his limbs swing greatly with the rhythm, and his expression changes with the exaggerated lyrics, which is very demagogic and appreciative. The phrase "I have no money, I don't have a shame......" was sung back and forth two or three times. He led the surrounding audience to follow the chorus, and in the middle of the song, he briefly left the guitar with both hands, raised it high to incite the atmosphere, making the chorus louder and louder, attracting more audiences.

When the last sentence of the last sentence is sung. He improvised a piece of SOLO, with ten fingers turning, and the music was intense, like a rain of bullets, like a storm. Let the crowd of onlookers look dazzled.

"This guitar level seems to be stronger than Fang Xiao."

"No, he's F&Q's Fang Xiao, and that woman is the leader of the Queen Orchestra!"

"Fang Xiao!"

"Fang Xiao!"

Fang Xiao hurriedly untied the guitar, stuffed it to Zhang Cheng, and shouted, "The chengguan is here!" After shaking off a few fans who were chasing him, he raised his head and looked at the sky reflected in the setting sun, and felt that the lives of ordinary people were like college campuses, and they were gradually moving away.
