Chapter Eighty-Six: Taste
"Li Mingshu, I heard that you are Fang Xiao's WeChat VIP member? Help me buy two sets of t-shirts. ”
"No problem...... Now, there are many kinds of T-shirts on their website, you can see for yourself, what do you want? ”
"Just buy the 79 yuan, one set of white, one set of black, XXL number, the white one I want 'love wine brewed', the black one I want this, Fang Xiao plays the guitar."
"Hey, Qiu Yuguang, haven't you always despised F&Q? I didn't even watch their videos, but I actually bought their T-shirts and bought two sets at once? ”
"Despise is contempt, after all, it's a school, give face, support it, and besides, I think their T-shirts are doing well, and the price is cheap, anyway, you have to buy T-shirts in the summer, it's better to buy them."
"Indeed." Li Mingshu's roommate Wang Jianye threw away a cigarette and said, "I also bought a set, just like you, it is also a pattern of Fang Xiao playing the guitar." ”
"This set of T-shirts sold the most, more than 300 pieces were sold in one day, and Fang Xiao only had a total of 500 VIP members." Li Mingshu said while placing an order: "The main thing is that he plays the guitar coolly, and the pattern is also cool." ”
"Fang Xiao's guitar is indeed good enough." Qiu Yuguang took a puff of cigarette and said, "I passed by the west gate of the school last night and saw a big screen hanging at the entrance of Tianyin Piano Shop, playing a video of Fang Xiao playing the guitar on a loop, which attracted many onlookers.
"Of course, it is said that Fang Xiao's guitar was bought at Tianyin Piano Shop, and someone in the forum broke the news that Tianyin has sold more than 100 guitars in the past two weeks, and many of them are high-end goods, and the boss's mouth is crooked."
"Qiu Dazhuang, I will help you place an order, VIP members are 9% off, 126.4."
"So cheap? Then buy another set. Two sets don't seem to be enough...... Buy a set of 99 yuan, just this red one...... Uh, 39 also comes in a set, bargain, wear when you play. ”
"Both sets are going to be red? Do you like Gioadan? ”
"Who likes that coquettish woman, I'm a Manchester United fan. I just like red. ”
Li Mingshu corrected and said: "People don't call it coquettish, it's called sexy!" ”
"It's all the same, anyway, it's the kind that wants to when you see it."
"If you want me to say, the most promising thing in the Queen orchestra is to find a Jordan, who is in good shape and can hook up with people, there are so many girls in the conservatory, she is the only one who falls in love with Fang Xiao. In the future, if you have a few bosses, it will be difficult to think about not being popular. ”
"What's the matter, aren't Xu and Shi Lilin also from the Conservatory?"
"Mao! Permission has money and family background, Fang Xiao and her cooperate with each other, it is not possible to talk about who is next to whom, Shi Lilin is the best friend of the license, and she is the horse of Fang Xiao's brother in the same dormitory, and there is affection. Wang Jianye gushed out gossip: "What does Qiao Yadan have?" In addition to physiognomy and figure. Nothing, and I've heard that I've had fights with you before. But he was able to squeeze into the Queen Orchestra, and if I wanted to say, I must have slept with Fang Xiao. ”
"Damn, Fang Xiaoyan is not shallow."
"Yanfu, didn't you see that someone broke the news on the Internet, saying that she had fallen in love with several leaders in the city. Then she got the quota of the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong, where do you say she is outstanding? Can you be considered an outstanding young man if you work in a bar? Fang Xiao is worthy of being a stupid goose, even this kind of bus is wanted. ”
Li Mingshu, who was filling in the payment password, frowned, turned around and said, "Wang Jianye, this kind of unfounded thing. Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being sued. ”
"It's not what I said, someone broke the news in the school forum."
"There is a sea of people talking nonsense on the Internet!"
"Yes, I have nothing to say to you, a diehard who spent 300 yuan to be a VIP member." Wang Jianye spit out a smoke ring and said: "The women of the Conservatory, how can they be clean, they are desperately running outside, don't be blind and pure." ”
Li Mingshu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said, "Qiu Yuguang, it's 236.8 in total." ”
Qiu Yuguang took out his wallet, paid the cash, and then sat on the chair next to him, chatting nonsense while swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and after a while, at 12 o'clock, Li Mingshu clicked on the multi-art network and began to watch the latest issue of "F&Q Dream Show".
After the beginning of the film, there were screenshots of online comments marked with red boxes one after another, all of which were negative information, some said that F&Q's level was not good, flashy, some said that F&Q was malicious hype, grandstanding, some said that F&Q was short-lived and could not last long, and there were also gossips about the private life of each F&Q member, some said that Fang Xiao was hypocritical and pretentious, some said that he was allowed to bully others, some said that Lan Xiaoxi was deviant, some said that Mai Jie was thoughtful, and of course, it was indispensable to say that Qiao Yadan was water-based Yanghua......
This paragraph lasted for nearly a minute, the screenshots were piled up on top of each other, piling up the entire screen, and then a pair of hands appeared, and with a slight wave, they waved away the dense and suffocating text, revealing Fang Xiao standing in the rehearsal room, wearing a black T-shirt, and the background behind it was blurred, and only the members of the Queen Orchestra could be seen doing their own things, but they couldn't see what they were doing.
"Yo, Fang Xiao actually wears this T-shirt himself."
"yes."
"Hello everyone, I'm Fang Xiao from F&Q. The screenshot you saw just now is the reason why our show is called "F&Q Dream Show" instead of "F&Q Music Show", gossip, criticism and suspicion are all problems that must be faced to realize ......"
"I once heard a joke that if you care too much about other people's opinions, then life is like a pair of pants, and you have to carry whatever other people fart...... Everyone in our F&Q has a good mentality, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-love, life is like a T-shirt under the sun, flying in the wind, brilliant and dazzling, and we don't care about gossip at all...... As for criticism and doubt, criticism we accept the reasonable and ignore the unreasonable, but what about doubt? Time will tell. ”
"Recently, there has been a lot of criticism that our songs don't have a campus flavor, which is very confusing, curry, spicy, five-spice, perfume, tobacco, feminine, masculine...... I know all of this, but what does the campus smell like? ”
After Fang Xiao finished speaking. With a wave of his hand, the screen jumps to a shot of the Queen Orchestra randomly interviewing students on campus.
"Did they change photographers? This conversion effect is more gorgeous than before. ”
"I think so, too."
Li Mingshu said casually: "They have been recruiting photographers in the forum for the past two days, and they may have recruited a master." ”
In the video, a girl with glasses first appeared, and she said with a slightly puzzled expression: "Campus taste? It's a little fresh. A little freshness should be the campus flavor. ”
"Isn't this the laboratory building of our academy?"
"yes."
Another shirtless boy holding a basketball appeared and said, "I think, the campus flavor is the scene of the campus in the lyrics, such as playing ball, going to class, and so on." ”
"Damn, this idiot, how can you write a song when you play ball and go to class, and who will listen to it when you write a song?"
There were a lot of various answers in the back, and some said that it should be a song of youth. Some say it should be a song that reflects on society, some say it should be a nostalgic song, and some say it should be a song played on an acoustic guitar......
As soon as he appeared, Li Mingshu and Wang Jianye clamored together: "Damn!" Qiu Yuguang, isn't this you? ”
Qiu Yuguang touched his hair and smiled dryly.
"Campus smell? I think it doesn't matter if it's rock 'n' roll or pop. As long as the song can express the feelings of students, it can be regarded as a campus flavor. ”
"Then do you think "Childhood" is a campus-flavored song?"
"Absolutely. That sentence - why hasn't the girl in the next class ever entered my window, it's very campus-like. ”
"Qiu Dazhuang, I said why did you suddenly come to buy a T-shirt, it turned out to be on the show."
"I went to eat yesterday and happened to meet it, so I chatted a few words. I didn't expect to be on the video. ”
"Good character, showed a face, and asked two questions."
At the end of the interview, subtitles appeared: Is this considered a campus flavor?
The subtitles disappeared, and Fang Xiao appeared. This time it was not in the rehearsal room, but on location, he changed his clothes, wore an old-fashioned tunics with four large pockets, carried an army-green canvas schoolbag printed with a five-pointed star, and stood under a big tree, looking around with an exaggerated and anxious expression.
"I'm stunned, where did he find this kind of clothes?"
As soon as the camera turned, a girl with two big braids and a white dress appeared, with her head bowed, holding a book with a yellowed cover in both hands, along the path under the shade of the trees.
"Damn, this is Jordan, right?"
"Nima, is this acting or singing?"
"It's very flavorful of the 80s, you look at the book she held, "The Troubles of Young Werther", it's really literary and artistic."
When the two met, Fang Xiao stopped Qiao Yadan and said hesitantly, "Xiao Dan." ”
"Fang Xiao, please pay attention to it, call me by my full name. Is there something wrong? ”
Fang Xiao hurriedly took out a notebook with a plastic cover from the green schoolbag, handed it to Qiao Yadan with both hands, and said, "This is a poem I wrote, for you." ”
"I can't take your things, it's not right to think about personal problems too early, if you are told by the school, it will affect the work assignment."
"Then after you finish reading it, give it back to me."
Fang Xiao stuffed the notebook to Qiao Yadan indiscriminately, and then fled, Qiao Yadan looked at his back, smiled, and then turned around and walked in another direction.
Both of them obviously have no acting experience, their expressions are very contrived, and the three people in the dormitory are hilarious.
"Damn, what are they doing here?"
As soon as Qiu Yuguang's words fell, the camera jumped and returned to the rehearsal room, Fang Xiao changed into a black T-shirt again, and the Queen Orchestra behind him was the same, and then the music sounded.
“……
Spring flowers, autumn winds, and winter sunsets
Melancholy youth, I used to think ignorantly
The windmill flows every day in the song of the four seasons
In the poems of the wind and snow, I am growing up year after year
The story of flowing water and taking away time changes a person
It was the sentimental youth that was waiting for the first time
Yellowed photographs, old letters, and faded Christmas cards
I'm afraid you've forgotten the songs you wrote when you were younger
……”
With the singing, old photos appeared on the video one after another, including men, women, group photos, landscapes, and books. There are movements, speeches, walks, black and white pictures, yellowed tones, rustic architecture. Simple clothes, warm smiles, serious eyes, flying youth, and laughing past......
"It's kind of funny, it turns out that they were playing the campus in the 80s." Wang Jianye took out his cigarette case, handed out two cigarettes, and said: "Fang Xiaozhen TM takes it in his mouth, simulating the taste of the 80s vividly." ”
"Definitely. The song is reminiscent of the 80s when you hear it. ”
After the song ends, the camera cuts to permission, and she is wearing a white T-shirt with a picture of her bowing her head and playing bass.
Mr. Jiang Dailin, editor-in-chief of Yaori Media, criticized Fang Xiao's songs for being too commercial and lacking campus flavor...... Our program is on the multi-cultural network, which is for everyone to see, if only the campus of the post-90s generation. The post-60s, post-70s. The post-80s generation will definitely still feel that our songs have no campus flavor, or look down on our campus flavor...... So Fang Xiao wrote three songs, a campus in the 80s, a campus in the 90s, and a campus in the post-00s......"
"Editor-in-chief Jiang is a college student in the 80s, I wonder if the song "The Story of Time" just now made him feel a hint of campus flavor? Let's take another song about the campus flavor of the 90s. ”
After the permission is said. With a flick of his hand, the camera shifts, and an old-style student dormitory appears, with no balcony and no bathroom. Narrow and dirty, looking at the time at night, with incandescent lights, a table in the middle of the dormitory, iron beds with bunk beds on both sides, a person sleeping on the upper bunk by the door, and various star paintings and sports paintings are scattered on the walls.
"Isn't this the dormitory of the old campus?"
"There are no bunks in the old campus."
Soon Fang Xiao walked in, he was wearing a blue and white sweatshirt with an exaggerated mid-parted hair.
"It's really earthy, when my uncle was in school, it was like this, and I think it's funny when I think about it."
"It was very popular back then, and those Taiwanese stars in old movies were all in this style."
Fang Xiao put the basin in his hand, lay down on the lower bunk, put his head on his hands, and said to the upper bunk: "Da Liu, come to a cigarette." ”
Someone on the bed turned over and sat up, threw a cigarette down, and said, "Fang Xiao, do you think Arlene will like me?" ”
"I don't know what to do."
"Then how do you think I can know if she likes me or not?"
"I don't know what to do."
"You said that if I confessed to her, would it be successful?"
Fang Xiao took out a cigarette, took out a coin, flicked it with his thumb, then covered it, and said, "Guess." ”
"Positive."
"Wrong, it's the opposite."
"You're too hard to guess."
"A woman's mind is more difficult to guess than this, don't think about it, go to sleep. I turned off the lights. ”
The lights go out, the camera switches, and it's back in the rehearsal room, and the music plays.
“……
Brother who sleeps on my top bunk
Silent you
Those questions you used to ask me
No one asks anymore
Give me a cigarette to my brother
Give me a happy past
You can't always guess the coin in my hand
Shaking his head and saying it was too mysterious
……”
As the music sounded, old photographs appeared, this time all in color, and the content was the same as in the 80s.
"Nima, where did F&Q get these pictures?"
"Maybe it's the school library." Wang Jianye looked at the cigarette butt in his hand, took a hard puff, and said, "Fang Xiao, this B is too good at tossing." ”
"yes, how could TMD write such a song? In the 90s, he was just like us, a little kid. ”
"In the 80s, people didn't even have fertilized eggs, and they didn't write it the same way."
A few people were smoking, some were smoking, and some were listening to songs.
The song passed quickly, and the video was changed to Shi Lilin, wearing a bright yellow T-shirt with her face printed on it.
"It's very tragic, Xiao Ke and I didn't get into the role of acting, so we had to come to be the host and show our faces...... The song just now, called "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk", is the campus flavor of the 90s, talking about the friendship of boys, and the following song is the campus flavor of the 00s, talking about the love of girls, I like this song very much, and I want to sing this song, but it was snatched away by Mai Jiexin. Mai Jiexin, I hate you......"
The camera switched, this time there was no story, and Fang Xiao did not appear, only Lan Xiaoxi, she walked around the campus with her unkempt head, met all kinds of students, the picture was very beautiful, and then did not switch back to the rehearsal room, but directly sounded the music, and a clean and clear female voice sang.
“……
Push open the window and look at the white birds in the sky
Think of your minty smile
That's when you're running on the playground
Shouting loudly, I love you, do you know the way
At that time we were not afraid of anything
Watch the coffee-colored sunset set again
You said you want to love all the time
And so it will never be separated
We're all good boys
Whimsical kids
……”
"Is this Mai Jiexin singing?"
"Probably right, didn't Arlene say she snatched it?"
"Sounds good."
"Indeed, it sounds very pleasant."
"This song is too light."
"Little girl's song." Qiu Yuguang shook his head and sighed: "Fang Xiao, this B is evil, it has only been TM for two days, and he has written three songs, in the 80s, 90s, boys, girls, all kinds of feelings can be played casually, and it is not okay to be unconvinced!" ”
"We can only look up to this kind of person."
"This guy has a great future, and he thinks he's a super-rich man in the future, hasn't he started a company, it seems to be recruiting, let's try it."
"Big brother, we are studying electronics, and people are engaged in music, so we don't have a boundary at all."
After the music ended, Fang Xiao appeared again, he held his mobile phone, took a photo of the camera, and then said in a tone that told the documentary: "The photo freezes the moment, and the music touches the feelings...... A photo can let you understand the characters, expressions, clothing, environment and other information at that time, but it can't let you understand the humanistic feelings at that time, but music can, a song will make you recall the ups and downs of different stages of life......"
"When a photo meets music, the blending of sound and picture will create a touching and beautiful memory." Fang Xiao put down his mobile phone, picked up a piece of cardboard, pointed to the URL on it, and said: "Everyone has their own life, everyone has their own story, if you are interested, you can record your own life and story photos and upload them to this website, in each episode in the future, I will randomly select one or several photos and write them into song ......" (to be continued......
PS: Let's have a big chapter......
As is customary, this was yesterday.
