Chapter 508: "Ordinary Road" (II)
Pu Shu has a much more stubborn resistance to the adult world than the average teenager, and this resistance is because from his child's point of view, the coming world is like this-
"They are trams, going back and forth between factories and houses all day long, in the wet market, on the sidewalks, they walk indifferently." (Mom, Me)
"Now it's overgrown with grass and no flowers." (The Flowers)
"New masks, new games, new rules, learning; Blue sky and white clouds, starlight and insect chirping, and truth, redundant. …… Oh, this fucking era. ("I'll Go Two Thousand Years")
"You go and get busy, you go to intrigue, that expressionless person is your future." ("Don't, Don't")
"Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm sad, knowing that in the future I will become Lao Zhang and live like a dog. This kind of reality can only be accepted, and if you can do it, you can't do it and watch it, and this life will be over quickly. ("Alive")
"I have to endure this hard and tedious, this ordinary life, this unhappy life." (The Calling)
"Drunk people raise their glasses, laugh and have tears in their eyes, who grow old after dinner, like my heart in the fog." (September)
This is originally a common disease of adolescence, but Pu Shu combines all kinds of complex emotions such as nostalgia for the past, confusion about the future, uneasiness about the world, and rebellion against adults, and synthesizes an extremely tenacious rebellious psychology.
Four years later, in "Life Like a Summer Flower", Pu Shu avoided talking about this issue. But the clues hidden behind the music still allow us to see that Pu Shu's ambivalence still exists, and even becomes more and more intense.
In "Life Like Summer Flowers", he seems to be pursuing a life that is "as short as a shock, as gorgeous as a summer flower".
In "The Proud Colonel", he sang "People are like feathers, life is like weeds, hopeless", but at the same time, he insisted on his "humble and proud".
In "Susan's Dancing Shoes". The tune is upbeat though. But it uses the well-known horror of the red dancing shoes fairy tale, portraying an image that wants to break away from the real world and even does not hesitate to die.
As for "Let's Listen to the Wind", just listening to that tune is a lingering sadness! And "The Taste of Tonight" is filled with a breath of death!
The cover of a certain edition of "I'm Going Two Thousand Years" reads: Don't speak. Only silence. This ordinary life. This unhappy life, my 9W desk lamp;
And what is written on "Life Like a Summer Flower" is: Under the blue sky, dedicated to you. My best years.
Has Pu Shu changed? Actually, no, it's just that in "Life Like a Summer Flower", he forcibly buried his painful struggles and showed his seemingly optimistic side to everyone. Although Pu Shu sang "Fools Are Sad", he was actually the sad fool in his heart.
It is rare to see a singer who still can't get over the hurdle of youth after he reaches the age of thirty, and because of this hurdle, he keeps struggling, suffering, and despairing.
In this regard, the person who is most similar to Pu Shu is actually not Xu Wei, but perhaps Dou Wei.
Pu Shu recalled that when he got rid of depression, he said that after a serious illness, he saw more openly, and no longer forced himself to make anything, but tried to let himself rest, relax, exercise every day, or lie in bed in a daze, and so on. -- He began to live like a normal person.
In the past, some people criticized Xu Wei's later albums for not being as radical as "Elsewhere", but to be honest, whether you want to see a miserable person make a better record, or see a peaceful person make normal level music, I believe that normal people would rather see the latter.
The same is true for Pu Shu, who prefers to see him healthy and optimistic, even if he can no longer write any music.
If Pu Shu is interpreted from Du Xinghe's point of view, then "Ordinary Road" is the result he wants to see.
Compared with "Journey", "Ordinary Road" has more affirmative power - the word "firm" cannot be used for the time being. Even if you don't read the lyrics and take out the song and soundtrack alone, "Ordinary Road" is much more positive and optimistic than "Journey" or "Calling", not to mention those lyrics:
"Wandering, on the road...... That was what I was" - it was, and it wasn't.
"Boiling, restless, where are you going" - still writing about yourself when you were young, and people who are still young.
"Are you really listening to the story?" ――It's easy to think of "Some stories haven't been told yet, so forget it", but in fact, this sentence may be more in response to "I and my secrets, who can I sing to" in "I go for 2,000 years". If no one is listening, lock them all in your heart.
"I have crossed mountains and seas, and I have also passed through mountains and seas" - this is a response to "We passed by mountains, passed by lakes, passed by the warm tears of a woman, passed by people's castles and gardens" in "The Journey". The difference is that he used to take these very seriously and painfully, but now, he looks down on them and looks down on them.
"I once had a qiē, and it was like smoke in the blink of an eye" - the "yiqiē" here may refer to those beautiful passing times, as well as the hope or rebellion for the future. Now it has drifted away like smoke, and this "drifting" is completely different from "those flowers" in "They have left with the wind and scattered to the end of the world", the latter is the pain that you can see but can't catch back, and the former is the calm when you look back on the road.
"I once ruined my Yiqiē, and I just want to leave forever" - this sentence covers so much that anyone who knows a little about Pu Shu knows what this means. Luckily he didn't leave, but came back to us.
"I have asked all over the world, but I have never received an answer" - this sentence is suspected to be Han Han's creation, not like Pu Shu's confession, but more like the summary of Pu Shu by others.
"I'm just like you, like him, like the weeds and flowers" - the world he once resisted. If you want to blend in, become an ordinary molecule of this world.
"I was lost, disappointed, lost all direction, until I saw that the ordinary is the only answer" - the ordinary appears here, and unlike the "blandness" that can be seen everywhere in "I Go to Two Thousand Years", the ordinary here is closer to an emotionless word.
Many people are like Pu Shu when they are young, they want to pursue a short and splendid life, even if they collide with this ordinary world, and after growing up, some people have really been bleeding, and some people actively or passively integrate into this ordinary world.
It is different from the "indifference" of "caring about food, caring about TV, and doing nothing" that Pu Shu once opposed. This ordinariness. In many cases, it is a different kind of excitement after growing up.
The boy should be flamboyant and rebellious, but when he grew up, he saw the blood surging under the calm water of this world. Truth held behind the mask of hypocrisy. The passion that lurks in the midst of indifferent communication. Such ordinariness does not necessarily fail to become great.
And Pu Shu's adolescence was too long, and it took him fifteen years. to find this answer. But now that I've found this answer, I should stick to it, as the song says: "This is the only way I want to go!" ”
For the last song he heard in the last plane, Du Xinghe always held a gesture of applause, in Du Xinghe's opinion, fifteen years later, Pu Shu finally found the final answer to the questions that once made him desperate.
And this answer also gave Du Xinghe a lot of enlightenment.
Compared with Pu Shu, Du Xinghe's life is more tortuous and aggressive.
Just like the song sings, Du Xinghe once ruined his qiē, he just wanted to leave forever, he also fell into boundless darkness, wanted to struggle but couldn't extricate himself......
Looking back at the past now, Du Xinghe already has an ordinary and calm answer in his heart.
It can be seen from the fact that he and Xu Nuo are in love, in fact, he has understood the truth that ordinary is happiness.
Even though he was now a reborn who was exceptional and different, he was nothing compared to the supernatural powers that created the miracles for him.
Be an ordinary person in a down-to-earth manner, work hard silently, and move forward towards his dreams, and one day, dreams will come to him.
Opening his eyes and feeling the liquor warm his throat, Du Xinghe put on a monitor headset and gestured to Wei Yimin, signaling that he could play music recording.
Everyone was eagerly awaiting to hear what their little boss was doing in the studio.
At present, the cloud world staff in the recording studio, except for Wei Yimin, all the others have heard Du Xinghe sing in places like the piano room, and they have all been conquered by Du Xinghe's "incredible" beautiful singing voice and emotional singing skills.
However, at this time, with full of expectations, with the bland prelude, Du Xinghe opened his voice flatly, but Duan Xiaoxuan and the others were slightly disappointed. for it sounded to them...... It's a little too stuffy, isn't it?
Du Xinghe sang very indifferently, just like a wise man softly asking later generations, gently humming the first section of the song, stimulated by alcohol, he tried his best to make his voice vicissitudes, like a middle-aged man, calmly confided-
……
Wandering ~ on the road ~ are you going to go ~ via ~ via ~ Fragile ~proud~ that used to be what I used to be ~
……
Boiling ~ restless ~ where are you going ~ via ~ via ~ The mystery is like ~ silent ~ are you really listening to the story~
……
I have crossed mountains and seas~ and also crossed mountains and seas~
I used to have a qiē ~ floating like smoke in the blink of an eye ~
I was once lost~disappointed~lost all directions~
Until I see the ordinary, the only answer~
……
It wasn't until the phrase "I was" began that Du Xinghe made his timbre more beautiful, but compared to his usual singing, this timbre still seemed extremely dull.
Duan Xiaoxuan and the others listened to Du Xinghe's singing, and even felt that it was a problem with the earbuds, which covered Du Xinghe's infectious timbre with a veil, and they didn't enjoy listening to it.
Du Xinghe enjoyed the ordinary artistic conception of this song very much, and during the interval, he briefly adjusted his breathing, of course, this adjustment will not be included in McKee. After calming down, he continued to sing softly in the form of a question—
……
But you're still fantasizing about ~your tomorrow~via~via~
Will she be okay ~ or worse ~ another day for me ~
……
I once ruined my one qiē ~ I just want to leave forever ~ I once fell into the boundless darkness ~ I wanted to struggle and couldn't extricate myself ~
I used to be like you, like him, like the weeds and wild flowers~
Desperate and longing~ also crying and laughing ordinary~
……
When singing the phrase "I once ruined my qiē". Du Xinghe's feelings became more devoted, and he recalled the past in his mind, although he still wanted to maintain a calm mood, but his drunken voice couldn't hide his thoughts. From this section onwards, his voice is filled with a desperate charm and sings quite heartbreakingly.
Duan Xiaoxuan and the other little girls in the public relations department heard Du Xinghe's singing, and the spring that was originally in their mood suddenly became a lot more dark clouds, and they felt a sad aura from Du Xinghe's voice.
But then the song enters a new chapter, with gypsy-style accompaniment.
The dark clouds in everyone's hearts gradually drifted away with this improvised music. Follow. Du Xinghe's rap with a strong personal color is like a powerful bullet, shooting out the dark clouds one after another, venting all the depression in everyone's hearts at once.
……
Go forward~just go like this~
Even if you've been ~given something~
……
Go forward~just go like this~
Even if you're ~taken away from something~
……
Go forward~just go like this~
Even if you will ~ miss something~
……
Go forward~just go like this~
Even if it will~
……
Fang Yajun was amazed. Naturally, I know that this rap has a twist in the whole song. However, many of the words in Du Xinghe's rap are very strange. Du Xinghe adopted the method of spitting syllables like Pu Shu in the previous plane to pronounce the syllables, which to the ears of people who don't know why, it is like a rap with a dialect accent.
Fang Yajun checked the lyrics in the songscript in his hand. only then did I understand what Du Xinghe was singing. But in fact, you don't need to understand what Du Xinghe is singing, the kind of love that bursts out can already infect people to see the light through the dark clouds.
In the subsequent continuous climactic section, Du Xinghe sang the song vividly and happily on the stimulation of alcohol, as if a seeker had finally found the way forward.
Everyone can hear a calm and solid power from Du Xinghe's final climax, this power is shaken out of Du Xinghe's powerful sonic boom, and it is also spread from Du Xinghe's clear and clear heart, wonderful, and inspiring!
……
I have crossed mountains and seas~ and also crossed mountains and seas~
I used to have a qiē ~ floating like smoke in the blink of an eye ~
I was once lost~disappointed~lost all directions~
Until I see the ordinary, the only answer~
……
I once ruined my one qiē ~ I just want to leave forever ~ I once fell into the boundless darkness ~ I wanted to struggle and couldn't extricate myself ~
I used to be ~ like you ~ like him ~ like the weeds ~ wild flowers ~
Desperate and longing~ also crying and laughing ordinary~
……
I have crossed mountains and seas~ and also crossed mountains and seas~
I've asked the whole world ~ and never got an answer~
I'm just like you~like him~ like the weeds~wildflowers~
In the dark~This is the only way I have to go~
……
Time is silent~So so~Tomorrow is just around the corner~
The wind blows ~ the road is still far ~ where is your story ~ ……
As if there were snowflakes in the sky and finally gently falling on the flowing stream in the mountains, Du Xinghe sang happily, and in the last two phrases, he used a format that echoed from beginning to end, and the clear questions ended the song with a weighty finish, showing everyone a quiet, ordinary, and imaginative space.
As Du Xinghe's tail note slowly fell, the song also came to an abrupt end.
Faced with such a song, Wei Yimin was a little at a loss. As one of the few middle-aged people in the house with life experience, Wei Yimin paradoxically understood a little bit what Du Xinghe was singing. However, he couldn't condense the life-like feelings in this song, and he couldn't even associate the vicissitudes of life in the song with Du Xinghe, a teenager who only turned 17 this year. Even though, they all knew that Du Xinghe was a person who had walked through the ghost gate close. is an "orphan" who lost his father in a car accident, but hearing such vicissitudes of life, Wei Yimin is still a little at a loss.
Top recording engineers must have a certain grasp of the songs, and even put forward some constructive opinions on the singer's singing without supervision. Wei Yimin has been studying Du Xinghe's song for a long time, and he already has a certain self-opinion about this song. At that time, he couldn't imagine that this ordinary song to find happiness and joy in despair and loneliness was written by Du Xinghe. At that time, he also thought that if Du Xinghe didn't sing this taste, he would have to give Du Xinghe some advice.
But now, after Du Xinghe sang. Although the harmony of the chorus part has not yet passed. didn't do post-production, after the dry audio track and Du Xinghe's sound track were together, it felt a little dry, but this was the audio track. has made Wei Yimin have no way to start proofreading. He really couldn't comment on how Du Xinghe sang. Because he feels that Du Xinghe's interpretation of this song has exceeded the scope of what he can grasp.
An ordinary song, sung by an extraordinary genius. is actually such a feeling, when he was a recording engineer at the arrow target, Wei Yimin recorded many songs of top singers, but he rarely had this kind of singer who made him at a loss and unable to judge. He's kind of an eye-opener today!
Duan Xiaoxuan and a group of other little girls were sung by Du Xinghe, and they also had an indescribable feeling in their hearts. Du Xinghe in the recording studio is far from being in the usual practice room, even if he plucks the strings, his whole body is full of genius light, and he can fall for them as soon as he starts his voice.
At this time, Du Xinghe seemed to be a boy who didn't know him, his singing voice seemed to sound very ordinary, but when he listened to it, there was an indescribable unusualness in it.
Maybe the aura on Du Xinghe's body is too bright, so they are subconsciously full of awe of this god-like musical genius, no matter what Du Xinghe sings, they can't give him a bland or ordinary evaluation, they will think it is very good. In short, they all think that the song recorded by Du Xinghe is very peculiar.
Zhao Yi, the female manager of the public relations department who has a certain life experience, has a deeper level than Duan Xiaoxuan and others, and she can probably understand what Du Xinghe is singing in this song. She can also understand Du Xinghe's pursuit of the ordinary. However, she still felt that Du Xinghe was not as good as him singing other songs in terms of the performance of this song. To be honest, when Du Xinghe usually practices singing in the piano room, he can sing to her until her whole body is numb and itchy, and she even feels turbulent. But in this song, the artistic conception pursues an ordinary happiness, but in Zhao Yi's opinion, Du Xinghe's singing is really ordinary.
Of course, this feeling is just Zhao Yi's feeling.
Like Fang Yajun, who has a better sense of musicality than Du Xinghe, he was silent in his heart at this time. What others hear may be stories, but Fang Yajun, from Du Xinghe's song, what he hears is life. A life that is very similar to her, but very dissimilar.
How strong and accumulating the feelings contained by Du Xinghe in this song are, Fang Yajun felt them all, so much so that she couldn't believe that Du Xinghe was just a 17-year-old child.
"People who can sing this way must be at least 30 years old, right?" Fang Yajun frowned and thought.
Du Xinghe himself is very satisfied with his first recording, when making movies, the actor who "passes through" is the director's favorite actor, because this kind of actor usually does not NG, which is very time-saving and trouble-free. In the recording studio, the singers who "go over and over" are almost without exception god-like beings. Du Xinghe would never have been able to do it "all over again" before, when he recorded his first creative album, even if the songs were written by himself, he recorded each album about 20 times on average before it was completed.
And now, with a kind of precipitation of life, the smashing of singing skills again, and more importantly, the stable support of the vocal cords by super strange power, he has actually achieved the realm of "over and over again"!
For this version I recorded, I basically don't need to listen to it again, and Du Xinghe can be sure that the main voice of this version feels flawless! At least for him now, he asked himself if he sang it again, and he might not have this feeling, because after singing it just now, his mind was really churning out too many gray years of the past, but as the song evolved, his own feelings were completely integrated into the song, and the song led to a feeling of clearing the clouds, and that feeling also made him really see the ordinary happiness of the method across the earth for the first time.
Perhaps because of the spirits, this feeling made him intoxicated.
Taking advantage of the state of being in a good mood, Du Xinghe made an OK gesture to Wei Yimin, and then asked Wei Yimin to merge the audio track and the sound track together, he admired his "ordinary voice", and matched himself with a stronger infectious harmony. (To be continued......)
