Rewind the clock to a week ago.

Yanjing, an ordinary small bar in Houhai, on a small round table in the corner, Chu Yang was drinking beer with Wan'er, leisurely watching the performance on the stage.

There are many small bars in Houhai, which is known as one of the favorite places for Yanjing's petty bourgeoisie, and many of the bars are very artfully decorated. Of course, the so-called art style may seem more inexplicable and unconventional in the eyes of some more "normal" people.

Just like the bar in front of me, the name is actually called Music Factory, which is also a very unique name. The interior is even more distinctive, with dismantled metal parts and old lathes everywhere, making it look like a factory. A few seats are scattered among these parts, and people sit in them, as if they are sitting in an abandoned workshop, full of postmodern style.

There is a small stage in the center of the bar, and on the wall behind it hangs an old sign that reads Chuanzi Music Factory. The whole sign is mottled with paint and rust, which looks very suitable for the environment here.

There are three or five tables of customers scattered in the bar, both men and women, just like Chu Yang, drinking beer casually, talking nonsense, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

On the small stage, a small band of four people is singing there. In the center, a fat man in a black T-shirt, with unkempt hair falling over his shoulders, holds a guitar in his arms, and his right hand quickly sweeps the strings on it, singing a song with unintelligible lyrics.

The fat man sang very devotedly, and even said that it was a little crazy. His feet. He would take a sip of beer when he was half-drinking, and when he was singing, the beer foam would run down his neck and onto his clothes, and he didn't care.

"Hey, why did you bring me here?" Wan'er looked at the environment here and said with a frown. She has been pampered since she was a child, when has she ever been to a bar with such a low style?

"It's nice here." Chu Yang glanced at the surrounding environment and said, then he pointed to the fat man who was singing the song on the stage and said, "Do you know him?" ”

"You know, Chuanzi. Some time ago, I sang the song "This Life" with the masculine group. I like to hear it. But his song is still passable. I can barely tell what he's singing on other songs, like this one. Wan'er said with a grin.

"He's not singing songs, he's living." Chu Yang smiled and said.

The final of The Voice is about to begin. He also knew the process. The program team contacted him. About the arrangement of each link. The singer needs to prepare the songs, all communicating guò. Originally, in the first link, the program team wanted to help him arrange a Hong Kong singer on the same stage. However, Chu Yang didn't have any feelings for that singer, so he nominated one with the program formation yì himself.

A request like this, under normal circumstances, the Voice program team will not pay attention to it at all. Chu Yang is just a student, what song to sing, who to sing with, these arrangements are all arranged by the organizer, a little singer wants to exert influence? Just kidding, even if it's a star student, he doesn't dare to do this.

But obviously, Chu Yang is not the only one. Someone is now a deputy director of a state ministry. Maybe this official is really nothing in Yanjing, but the problem is that the current official is not as good as the current management. Director Chu's current scope of responsibilities is exactly in this area.

So after someone hinted at the organizer in a phone call from the little girl Ding Ting, the latter's attitude towards Chu Yang immediately took a 180-degree turn. The person in charge made a special trip to a banquet for Chu Yang, and even said that he didn't know that Director Chu was condescending, and he repeatedly sued him. The modesty of the attitude can even be called humble, and it also made Chu Yang feel a lot of surprise. He really didn't expect that his other identity would be so good!

As for his previous request, the person in charge also patted his chest and said that there was no problem. As long as it is the person you Director Chu likes, I guarantee that it will be prioritized!

With the assurance of the person in charge, the matter was done. It's just that Chu Yang didn't understand why the person in charge occasionally looked at him with a strange look.

The latter didn't understand either, he never thought that his little variety show would come to such a great god! Speaking of which, a state cadre of a state ministry and commission, and a director of a major department, why did he suddenly have the leisure to come here to participate in this kind of program? I have the impression that these officials are very low-key, well, this kind of show up is usually not to participate.

It's just that although he couldn't figure out the joints, since he knew the identity of Director Chu, the person in charge still attached great importance to it, and held an emergency meeting overnight to make arrangements specifically for the details of Chu Yang's participation in the competition, for fear that something would go wrong.

The director in charge of the show was also shocked when he heard Chu Yang's identity. He never thought that in his program, there would be a director of the Ministry of Culture to participate, and it was also from the Music and Dance Acrobatics Department!

To say that although the Ministry of Culture is also in charge of these art circles, not all the cadres in the Ministry of Culture recruit them to see them. The Ministry of Culture is so big, and there are only a few offices that really manage them in the entertainment industry. But coincidentally, the office where Director Chu Da is located is one of those few offices. Speaking of this music and dance acrobatic department, it's in charge of their stall.

So after learning the identity of Director Chu Da, the director was also sincerely frightened, and took the initiative to find Chu Yang and ask for instructions, wanting to see what "instructions" the latter had. Chu Yang was also thundered about the director's behavior, and then said that he had nothing to instruct, just do his job well.

As for Chu Yang's temporary decision to change someone to partner with him, it was not a whim, but it had already been thought about in advance.

Regarding the three links of the finals, he had already considered that the chorus with his mentor, including the subsequent solo show, was not something he could choose, and that was counted. But the first link is for him to check it himself. The key is the Hong Kong and Taiwan star arranged for him by the program team before, and he personally has no good impression of that person. The sissy doesn't say anything, and he doesn't like the songs he sings. So Director Chu used his privileges. In other words, this is the first time that Director Chu has used his own expertise since he entered the system, not to mention, it feels really good to him. In the past, he had always underestimated the power of the secular world, but now he found that this game was really effective on some occasions, at least better than his cultivation methods. In other words, if he is really powerful, he will use those means. But it's just to kill some ordinary people. There was no pleasure at all for him, and it didn't solve the problem. However, after this incident, Chu Yang began to re-examine his position.

Back at the bar, Chu Yang chose this Chuanzi. Not because of anything else. It's all because of the song "This Life" that he wrote. It is said that Chu Yang still likes this song very much. Once he heard it by chance on the Internet, he immediately felt that this song was written very unusually. Later, I found someone to understand this Chuanzi, only to find that this singer is very unusual. is a man with a story.

The story is a bit cliché, but when I was young, because my buddy was righteous, I did something for my brother and went to prison. And then stay in it for eight years. However, in the past eight years, Chuanzi has also been quiet in prison, and in addition to receiving reform every day, there is only one thing, that is, playing the guitar. His musical temperament, that is, during these eight years of prison life, was shaped.

And the song "This Life" is a song he wrote for his brother after he came out.

The current Chuanzi is a little singer who is neither popular nor purple, and he can't even be called a singer. He signed a contract with a small company in Yanjing, but the latter was not large in scale and was of limited help to him. Some time ago, because he sang the song "This Life" with the masculine group, he took advantage of the east wind of this song to increase his popularity a little, but this song did not become popular on the Internet, and his help was limited. He is now signed to that record company, and there are no important performances in a year, and the announcement can be made, but the small bar he runs can bring him some income. Relying on these incomes, he can barely survive in Yanjing.

After learning about Chuanzi's current situation, Chu Yang also admired his people, and he had the idea of pulling him at that time. It just so happened that someone was participating in The Voice of China, and a singer needed to sing on the same stage to enter the finals, so Chu Yang thought of him.

So, there was this scene tonight.

Chu Yang quietly watched Chuanzi sing the out-of-tune song on the stage, saying that it was singing, but it was better to say that he was roaring. To tell the truth, Chuanzi's singing level is really not very good, his voice may have become very poor because of long-term alcoholism, and the pitch and rhythm are not very good, although it sounds very free, but the play in many places is disorderly, and Chu Yangzhi frowned when he heard it. It's no wonder that even because of the experience of performing on the same stage with him in a masculine group, he still hasn't improved. I heard that I went to Jin City some time ago, so I sat down on the street, held a guitar and sang, just like a wandering artist!

As soon as Chuanzi finished singing, there was a burst of applause from the audience, obviously, there are not many people who can accept this music style. Most of these white-collar workers come here to drink, not because of the music, but because of the mood here.

Chu Yang applauded a few times, then got up and walked towards the stage.

After Chuanzi finished singing a song, he picked up the beer bottle and raised his head to drink the rest of the wine in one gulp, then burped, looked at Chu Yang who was walking towards him, and suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at him and said, "Dude, it's your turn!" ”

Chu Yang smiled and pointed at himself, then looked at Chuanzi and said, "Do you recognize me?" ”

"Recognize, recognize, aren't you the one who sings, who is that, that, oh yes, "Men should be self-reliant", the voice of Huaxia, haha, yes, the voice of Huaxia, I listened, it sounded, man!" Kawako said with a laugh.

"Come on, buddy, it's your turn, come one!" Chuanzi said, handing the guitar in his hand to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang was not polite, smiled and pressed the guitar in Chuanzi's hand, and then patted the latter's shoulder. Who expected that Chuanzi had drunk too much, Chu Yang slapped it like this, and the latter stumbled and almost fell.

Fortunately, Chu Yang's eyes were quick and he helped this buddy. The latter weighed more than two hundred catties, but Chu Yang stretched out his hand to copy it, but it was as light as nothing.

This scene fell into the eyes of several band musicians behind, and several people showed a strange look in their eyes.

"Chuanzi, let's sing a song together." Chu Yang said with a smile.

"Sing along?" Kawako was carrying a bottle of beer that had just been opened. Looking at Chu Yang, he asked.

"Sing together", Chu Yang smiled and showed him an affirmative expression.

"Okay, then sing together, let's have a drink first!" Immediately, Chuanzi raised the wine bottle in his hand to Chu Yang, who also took a bottle of beer, touched it with him, and then drank it all!

"Haha, okay, brother Changliang, Changliang!" Chuanzi saw that Chu Yang actually blew a bottle with himself. Immediately burst out laughing.

The white-collar men and women in the audience who were drinking. Seeing Chu Yang blowing a bottle of wine, he also shouted hello. At this time, some people also recognized Chu Yang, and they immediately became excited!

Chu Yang finished drinking the wine and threw the bottle to his feet. Carry the guitar well. Gently flick. A few inaccurate strings were then tuned.

Then he played the guitar gently.

The guitar is an instrument, and Chu Yang has also spent a while researching. It's also considered a rough pass. Of course, his so-called roughness, in the eyes of ordinary people, is also a master-level level. Not to mention anything else, the one intro he played at the moment immediately made the two guitarists in the band change color in unison!

Chu Yang's fingering is skillful, the chord arrangement is precise and beautiful, and what is even more rare is that in some details of the changes, many places sound very similar to the MV, and even some places sound more flavorful than the MV!

And it's just the effect of a guitar, there is no other harmony at all!

As for the song played by Chu Yang, from the first melody, a few people heard it, isn't this their boss, the owner of this bar, Chuanzi's famous song "This Life".

Chuanzi was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Chu Yang was going to sing this song with him.

"We are destined to be on the road in this life, as long as we never forget each other......"

The moment Chu Yang's singing voice sounded gently, Chuanzi's whole person seemed to be frozen, and he was stunned on the stage!

He has sung this song in many performances and collaborated with many people, including the group that is very popular now, the masculine group.

I have to admit that when he sang with the masculine group, he was deeply impressed by the latter's strength. Although he wrote this song, the singing level of those two people was above him.

Chuanzi is also self-aware, he was born in Yeluzi and did not go to a professional conservatory, but the two people actually didn't go to school. People can sing better than him, but it can only be said that the musical talent is different.

But if you compare those two people with the Chu Yang in front of you, it's a different situation!

Chu Yang's singing voice was not in a hurry or slow, as if he was talking, but every sentence seemed to be sung directly in his heart! That kind of relationship between brothers is deeply contained in every sentence and every word, and he actually has a sour nose when he hears it!

Chu Yang's section was sung, and Chuanzi, who could listen to it, actually forgot to sing it. In other words, after listening to Chu Yang's singing, he no longer had the courage to speak.

Chu Yang didn't care about him, and sang on his own. Not only Chuanzi, but also the brothers behind him, as well as the white-collar workers who came to drink, were all stunned.

This song "This Life" is also a relatively famous song on the Internet, and many of these white-collar workers come here to drink, and many of them are also coming for the original singer of this song. Every night Chuanzi sings here, no matter what he sings, he always sings "This Life" at the end. Many of the people who drink here are regular customers, and many of them are not the first time they have heard this song.

But when they heard Chu Yang sing this song "The Fate of This Life", they were still shocked by this familiar song again!

Chu Yang's singing voice is not in a hurry, every sentence goes straight to the heart, and expresses the feelings between brothers to the fullest!

"Our life is like a dream, so why get drunk with you!" Chu Yang's singing, accompanied by the guitar, sounded in the bar, and for a while, everyone who heard this song fell into an inexplicable emotion!

Life is like a dream, a dream bubble! After working hard and hard for fame and profit, who can truly reap the peace and joy of the soul in the end?

And in such a feeling, that strong brotherly affection seems to give people a kind of comfort and comfort.

With such a song, those white-collar workers raised the wine in their hands and raised their heads to drink!

"With you with you, why don't you get drunk!" This song really touched a soft place in their hearts! Start unwinding and show your true self!

Chuanzi was stunned, he never thought that there would be someone who would sing his song "This Life" with such a taste!

His heart was filled with deep emotion. Seeing Chu Yang singing the song "This Life" there, he raised the wine bottle in his hand boldly, raised his head and took another big sip!

Immediately, he followed the familiar and beautiful guitar sound regardless of the image and sang!

"Friends, let us remember together, there is no concern after the mortal dust!" Chuanzi's voice, with a wild twist, resounded through this small bar.

At the end of the song, Chuanzi didn't say a word, threw away the wine bottle in his hand, opened his thick arms, hugged Chu Yang tightly, patted his back incessantly, spat out the smell of wine, and shouted loudly, "Brother!" ”

"Chuanzi, as you sang in your song, in this mortal world, is there anything else you care about?" Chu Yang patted him on the shoulder and asked.

Chuanzi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then replied very seriously: "Music!" ”

Chu Yang smiled, this answer was exactly what he wanted.

"Brother, come with me, I'm here, you want music!" Chu Yang held Chuanzi's shoulder, looked at his drunken eyes, and said firmly! (To be continued......)
