Zhang Xiaozhe heard Du Xinghe's figure, turned around in a high swivel chair, and smiled a little awkwardly holding the guitar. He was a little embarrassed to play and sing English songs in front of a genius like Du Xinghe.

"When did you get here?" Zhang Xiaozhe asked Du Xinghe with a smile.

"As soon as you sing, I'll come in." Du Xinghe praised: "You sing foreign pop rock very stylishly!" I think it's more sensational than you singing domestic rock. ”

"Is this song rock 'n' roll? Not count. Zhang Xiaozhe knew the meaning of this song "Young-For-You", and couldn't help but ask. In his opinion, rock and roll should be the heart-rending cry of "Dream Chasing", shouting out all the enthusiasm. And this song "Young-For-You" is like telling a story, relaxed and comfortable, and it is far from being compatible with the passionate rock, so he sings it very easily.

"It's rock 'n' roll, too." Du Xinghe told Zhang Xiaozhe: "Rock and roll doesn't have to shout at the top of your voice. The classification of rock abroad is much more complicated than ours in China, and if you have the opportunity to contact more foreign music, you will know that there are actually many interesting music genres in the world. ”

"Adu, I've always wondered, where did you learn so many elements of foreign pop music?" Zhang Xiaozhe asked enviously.

"You just don't go shopping too much, and there are a lot of people walking from abroad on Taodi Street. If you like the style of "Young-For-You", you can go to No. 43 Taodi Street. Which one specializes in selling old British rock records. The owner loved the Britpop-style music. I've bought more than 50 old British records from him, The-Beatles, you know? A very influential British band. ”

"Heard of The-Beatles, the Beatles, right?" Although China does not accept foreign cultural influences here, after all, there are still some absolute classics that have come in, just like the Beatles, students like Zhang Xiaozhe who study pop music have heard of their big names and even looked for their albums to listen to.

"The owner of No. 43 Taodi Street took The-Beatles' records, but he didn't sell them. You have to like it. You can go to his store and listen to it. Just tell him that I introduced you, I am familiar with the uncle, and you can get a 10% discount if you want to buy vinyl or record from him and report my name. ”

Zhang Xiaozhe smiled: "You are really good enough." ”

"It's okay, I've dug all over Taodi Street. I'll go around when I'm fine. There are pop music albums from all over the world. It's too old, though. It's a bit out of keeping up with the current fashion, most of them from ten or twenty years ago. It's rare to have an album that has just come out in Europe and the United States. The last time Xu Nuo went to the United States, he brought me back a lot of American pop music albums. If you like it, you can go to my office to get it later, you can listen to it and feel the essence of European and American pop music. ”

Zhang Xiaozhe nodded: "Well, I have been influenced by you recently, and I like European and American pop music more and more, and I am now a little looking forward to the rejection of domestic music conservatories, so that I can justifiably go abroad to study." ”

"Haha, why do you have to be rejected by domestic colleges to go abroad? You are just too restricted, you really want to go abroad to broaden your horizons, just go directly, there is no need to make it seem like you have to go. Du Xinghe enlightened Zhang Xiaozhe: "In this regard, you have to learn more from Liao Nan's guy, that guy just do whatever he wants, and he will never wronged himself." I think you've always wronged yourself. ”

Zhang Xiaozhe smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not wronging myself, I'm not wronging myself, I'm involuntarily." If there were music schools in China that recruited me, they would definitely not let me go abroad. ”

Du Xinghe said: "This is your own choice, why do you have to listen to them?" Isn't it true that they have always not supported you to study music, for them, studying music at home is the same as studying music abroad, and they will not support you anyway. ”

"It's different." Zhang Xiaozhe showed an indescribable expression and said, "Alas, forget it, don't worry about it first." You can write another foreign song to make me happy. I listen to foreign songs very well now. ”

"It sounds pleasing to your ears because the way foreign countries use melody and key is different from ours, and they pay more attention to a natural freedom and psychedelic color. I'll sing my new foreign song, this song is called "Smile", and I'm going to send it to a more avant-garde female singer signed by our company in the future. ”

Du Xinghe said, sitting in front of the double-row key electronic piano, since Zhang Xiaozhe has some preferences for foreign pop music, he will deepen his interest in this area for Zhang Xiaozhe.

And the song "Smile" he wants to sing is the first single released by Lily-Allen, a talented British female singer he admires.

Speaking of Lily Allen, it is definitely a second-generation star on the British Peninsula.

She's Eng. The daughter of well-known comedian and musician Keith = Allen and filmmaker Alison Owen, but her parents separated when she was four years old. In addition to having a sister, a brother and a sister, Allen also has a number of half-siblings.

In addition, the British godfather of punk in the 70s, Joe, the lead singer of the band TheClash? Stramo was also her godfather.

Despite Lily? Alan became famous as a maverick British music witch, but her family background also determined that it was difficult for her to dissociate herself from acting.

But she never relied on Lao Tzu to fight the world, and she didn't break into the rivers and lakes with scandals, and her personality was very sharp and prominent. A designer flattered her with a luxurious evening dress to wear at the ceremony, but she threw it aside with extreme disdain, spitting and scolding - "This dress can only be worn by models, I am healthy, so I don't need to lose weight!" "This is Lily Allen.

On the other side, Annie? Annie-Lennox and Kate? Kate-Bush, the two old women, has been embarrassingly monopolized the Best Female Singer Award for British Homegrown Pop Music for many years. Because of the appearance of Lily = Allen, they finally have the opportunity to return to their hometown.

Occasionally, Perez-Hilton, a self-proclaimed "fashion critic," would pop up and pick and choose Lily's music, but she didn't care how harsh the other person's words were—she was full of British swear words when she opened and closed her mouth, and people in the American-speaking region would have to be stunned for a long time to understand;

When she goes out and goes home, she has a posture of "my mother, I am the biggest", and it is very natural for her to take the matter of knock-yao as a topic in her usual chat;

No matter how despicable her ex-boyfriend was to sell the details of their relationship to the newspaper, the only thing she felt entangled in was that the slut boyfriend had made 20,000 pounds from just an hour and a half of breaking the news, which she had spent three and a half years making the album.

Her music is a little weird and not mainstream, but the people who buy her records are the most important consumers in the pop music market;

Her mouth is always waiting to spew out some shocking remarks, but the people she names and scolds will more or less be hyped by the media because of this.

Lily? Alan is very popular with men, even if her short legs and thick waist are well known. But the men were reluctant to call her "Lun Dun Chubby". Changing to the words "plump" and "round" to modify it immediately fell into the bone, and then immediately stripped naked and drilled on the cover of the magazine, which tickled the hearts of men but couldn't catch it.

She doesn't care about her figure, she doesn't care about her appearance. Born with a good temperament necessary for children born in an entertainment family. Even if you go out sloppily, you are still seen as dressing in a very personal style.

When she was in school, she was with men who were much older and much younger than her. Talking about reserved or debauched love, Du Xinghe wants to sing her famous song "SMILE", which is about her real experience of asking for peace with her ex-boyfriend who proposed to break up but being humiliated. ALTHOUGH SHE DOESN'T CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE STATUS OF MEN IN HER HEART, SHE IS VERY INVESTED IN EVERY RELATIONSHIP, SHE IS EXTREMELY HEARTBREAKING WHEN SHE LOVES, AND WHEN SHE BREAKS UP, SHE IS SIMPLY NEAT AND NOT DRAGGING HER FEET, ONCE SHE FALLS OUT OF LOVE, SHE GOES TO NIGHTCLUBS WITH HER GOOD SISTERS TO DRINK HEAVILY, AND OFTEN PUTS PHOTOS OF HOLDING WINE BOTTLES AND POURING THEM ON HER BLOG - SO THE WHOLE BRITISH PEOPLE KNOW THAT SHE REGARDS ALCOHOL AS HER LIFE, AND SHE IS EXTREMELY ANGRY AND BUSY CLARIFYING ON THE RADIO PROGRAM, SAYING THAT ALCOHOL IS JUST A SLEEPING PILL WHEN SHE IS DEPRESSED, BUT NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TO HER.

To this day, no one has really been able to win her, Madonna is disparaged by her as a "worthless old singer", and Bob-Geldof's charity performance is also seen by her as a hypocritical cover to conceal his two-million-dollar villa in Battersea, London......

She has sharp teeth, the lyrics are written like a modernist poet, she doesn't care at all whether her singing skills are solid, how comfortable she sings, and the transposition of a few songs is simply a comfortable moan when she stretches her waist when she is lazy to the extreme, and the kind of voice that is so natural that it is completely in line with the mechanism of the human body and the sensory response, it really makes people wonder if she is simply lying on the bed and humming casually.

Katy-Perry says she's fat and doesn't know how to sing, Cheryl-Tweedy scolds her for looking like a shemale, Lily is not angry, sarcastically mocking the former as just a second "Lily-Allen" that the record company is trying to copy, sarcastically smiling that the latter can only sing saliva songs written by others, and then she puts on a miniskirt that she has picked up from a hypermarket with a wide heart and a fat body, and grabs a pleat or sews sequins with her own hands, Walking down the street, you can attract crowds of onlookers at every stop.

The media waited for her to continue to bombard celebrities with both anticipation and fear of being hurt, and netizens who loved her bought it with full confidence, arguing with Sister Mai's fans and BobGeldof fans and S-Club-7 fans and Yeluzi fans who were nothing on My-Space all day long. Repeatedly replaying the demo of Lily's new work on her homepage, the more you listen to it, the more interesting it becomes.

Lily? Alan is also a true CHANEL fan, and the money spent on a CHANEL bag alone in a year has almost wiped out her record income. But this does not mean that "CHANEL's VI.P can become the spiritual representative of CHANEL", and it will be eaten and drunk by a bunch of people all day long. Mrs. Kuo, who has no contribution to society but only pays attention to whether her status is noble, is recognized.

She made the backwater of the British pop music scene suddenly surge, grabbing the household register and showing off her own way over there, naturally not pretentious to make the faces of countless gentle-minded foreigners gray.

She doesn't take pills to induce vomiting, nor does she lose weight hungry, she says that the most crucial element of her music is spontaneous and natural, and life is more important than music, and the same should be true.

Du Xinghe is now going to use Lily's humorous and psychedelic style "Smile" to further broaden Zhang Xiaozhe's horizons.

Since it was a male voice singing a female tune, he lowered the song by a key and didn't talk nonsense. After telling Zhang Xiaozhe what this song is written in a funny translation style. Pressing the rhythm of the psychedelic electronic organ, he started singing playfully like a game.

……

It's completely different from the previous "Young-For-You" style. Du Xinghe's new song "Smile" is completely arbitrary, and the key is not even complete. But it is connected in a qiē, but it has a different flavor, it really looks like a little girl is funny and bantering her boyfriend, Zhang Xiaozhe feels very interesting to listen to.

Watching Du Xinghe playing the electronic piano and singing willfully, Zhang Xiaozhe became more and more envious of Du Xinghe's broad musical thinking and spirituality.

Perhaps, if he goes abroad to study pop music for a few years, he can become as easy as Du Xinghe?

Enjoying Du Xinghe's singing, Zhang Xiaozhe wanted to study abroad more and more.

(But I was still delirious by you, and my whole body was soft)

……

Du Xinghe sang this relaxed and funny song by himself, and his mood became overflowing. Compared with Lily Allen's musical genius, his own musical talent is a little more orthodox, and he actually admires Lily Allen's casual musical talent.

It's a pity that he has different backgrounds and different life experiences, so he can't get the talent of Lily Allen to play games with music.

It is only when he sings Lily Allen's works that he can enjoy this freewheeling pleasure.

……

Enough to sing in one breath. to the end. Du Xinghe still wants to sing another section. Finally, with a funny end note, the performance ended.

Zhang Xiaozhe sighed: "You are too powerful, Adu. The notes are in your hands, and they are completely elves, how do you really play! ”

"Study more, study more, in fact, you can too. As soon as you broaden your horizons, you'll see that notes and keys aren't as rigid as we think. The main reason why I can play so casually now is not because of how talented I am in music, but because I have seen more things than you, and I am exposed to a more diverse culture than yours.
