Chapter 22 "New Yunji Band" is rekindled
I practiced this song "Untitled" for three months, and after learning it, I played it several times, but I didn't play it for a long time, and there were some minor flaws during the period, but they probably didn't notice it.
At the end of the song, the guests in the bar applauded me.
It wasn't until I sang the original song, which was the first time I had sung it to so many outsiders, and I saw some guests recording my song with their phones.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yun Qian, just graduated out of the society, music is my dream, I don't want to give up easily, next I will bring a song "Hotel California" with the band behind me, thank you!" I watched their enthusiasm and listened to their applause, and I was deeply moved.
"Come on!"
"Don't give up!"
"Yun Qian, I love you!" There were even a few girls jumping down there shouting, "Lead singer, we love you more!" ”
I waved the microphone and smiled, then took the Gibson electric guitar that the bar provided for tens of thousands of dollars, tried the sound, I nodded to Wan Shihao, the saxophone sounded slowly, the eagles used the trumpet, we switched to the saxophone, along with the guitar melody, the atmosphere of the music was rendered in every corner of the bar.
The atmosphere at the front was quite quiet, and when the song ended with the electric guitar solo at the end, my fingertips danced quickly on the fretboard, and the atmosphere became loud again.
Until the end of the whole song, the lead singer Wan Shihao said excitedly: "Thank you very much for liking, how is our new partner playing the guitar?" Do you want to see him perform, do you want to... Okay, the next time will be handed over to him for the time being, let's go and prepare first, see you later, thank you! ”
There was another round of applause, I tied my hair in a braid with a rubber band, and improvised with an electric guitar for about 5 minutes, during which I also deliberately did some stage moves, and the cheers were from the beginning to the end.
"Thank you! Thank you to everyone present, and then we bring the last song, I'm sure you've heard it countless times, but... Every time I hear it, I feel a sense of youth in my heart! ”
Looking at the people at the scene, I was very moved, I didn't want to say too much at this moment, all the emotions were in the music.
After the last song performance, Wan Shihao said some words of thanks, everyone likes our style, welcome to continue to come to the bar next time! After we got off the stage, we changed to a couple of girls' bands.
In the lounge, Manager Wang held a contract in front of me and said: "Brother Yunqian, I watched your scene tonight, it is really wonderful, this is a long-term resident contract, 3000 a month, if you perform well in the later stage, you can raise your salary... Working hours are from eight to nine o'clock every night, and the guitarist position of the 1000-dollar band, what do you think?"
Wan Shihao: They watched me from the side, because we were in the same school, we knew each other before, and I also promised him to do part-time performances with them in the future, and the income was lower, but the time was much more abundant.
I also have a job as a travel consultant, and I don't usually have time to rehearse too many songs during the day.
He thanked him: "Brother Wang, you also know that I have other jobs now, and I can't spare so much time!" That's what I thought, I want to join the band of Lao Wan, and they can also add a guitarist. ”
Manager Wang was slightly disappointed, pondered for a moment, asked Wan Shihao what he thought, and after seeing him nodding, he smiled at me and said, "Okay!" If you work part-time, the salary may be a little low, 50 yuan per person, about half an hour, you determine the time to perform, contact me in advance, I have a good arrangement, so as not to bump into other people. ”
"Okay, thank you Brother Wang!"
Originally, I only planned to do a side hustle in my spare time, and I was free, 50 yuan is not low for me, I can not only have a platform to show myself, but also earn some extra money.
When I went to school, I spent my parents' money, and I didn't blink my eyes when I spent it, and I found out after I came out of society that when you have no money, let alone 50 yuan, it is not easy to earn 10 yuan, and it also requires a certain amount of labor and sweat.
I added Manager Wang's WeChat, and he generously gave us a bottle of wine and left.
"Yunqian, welcome to join!"
Wan Shihao smiled and shook my hand.
"Well, friends, we will be a team in the future, I hope you will bear with me when we first arrive!" I said to the crowd.
"Senior, be humble, you are the senior, there is a saying... I want to think about it..."Guo Kai slapped the wipe of the drum kit with a drum stick and said: "Yes, the great god brings the sprout!" ”
Chang Yang smashed the paddle in his hand on Guo Kai's head, and said teasingly: "Kaizi, you are a full-time master, you have seen too much!" I still know the autumn of the leaves! ”
"Why don't you say you're Jun Moxiao?" Li Jian glared at Chang Yang and said with a smile.
"Hahaha..."
The laughter of several of us suddenly came from the lounge, and the scene at this time seemed familiar, and the memories in our minds were vivid.
I can't help but think of the scene where I, Xia Qing, Lao Kang, Qiqi, Kun Kun, Qin Wen, Yang Yang, Brother Yu, and our Yunji band were fighting and talking to each other in the school rehearsal room, and the corners of my eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, so everything... It's already a thing, it's a person.
"Okay, okay, today is the first day Yun Qian joined us, let's be serious, let's introduce ourselves formally, start with me!" Wan Shihao was the first to stand up and said seriously: "Acoustic guitar and lead singer Wan Shihao, welcome Yun Qian!" ”
"Changyang, from today... From lead to rhythm guitar, welcome to Yunqian! ”
"I'm the king of bass, bassist Li Jian, welcome Yun Qian!"
"Guo Kai, just call me Kaizi, the drummer who only hears his voice and doesn't see him, welcome Senior Yunqian!"
I looked at them, my heart fluctuated, and I slowly spoke: "Yun Qian, the lead guitarist, it's a pleasure to meet you, let's play music together in the future, I'll have a treat tonight, barbecue beer pipe is enough..."
"Hahaha..."There was another burst of laughter, after graduation, I lived alone, and the cat who could talk was Su Mengyuan's cat, this feeling was really down-to-earth, and it felt like a partner.
Each of us is afraid of loneliness, especially in a foreign land, and we need to have a few friends who have a good game and are like-minded. I don't want to be able to stick a knife in both sides, I just want to be able to make an appointment to drink beer and eat barbecue together when I want to talk.
With the bottle of wine sent by Manager Wang, we came to a barbecue restaurant near the bar to get drunk, Wan Shihao picked up half a glass of liquor and said to me: "Yun Qian, you have more experience in band performances than we do, I think you are more suitable to be our captain in the future!" ”
"Well, yes, senior!" Guo Kai agreed with him.
"Lao Wan, this can't be done, the brothers were formed by you, this is not suitable, you also know my temperament, I didn't be the captain when I was in the Yunji Band before, I am used to freedom, I can't because I have high performance experience, everyone is the same, you are more suitable..."
Wan Shihao immediately dried the half glass of liquor and said in a deep voice: "Then, okay!" Yun Qian, I know you have special feelings for Yun Ji, I have thought about it... The name of the new band is 'New Yunji Band', I think this is also what you desire in your heart, but don't worry, we all have no opinion, let's let the Yunji Band rekindle and revitalize! What do you think? ”
I didn't speak, Lao Wan's words hit the nail on the head, churning repeatedly in my heart, like a sip of liquor just drunk, burning all over the body, like a flame-like fire.
"Hmm... Well, thank you! ”
Saying that, I drank another glass of beer, and it wasn't until 23:30 in the evening with Lao Wan and Kaizi that I took a taxi back to the intersection of Osmanthus Lane.
Drunk, I lit a cigarette and walked slowly to the house, and when I walked to the artificial pond not far from the door of my house, by the light of the street lamp, I saw a somewhat blurry, ghosted girl, sitting on the lockbox and looking down and playing with her mobile phone......
I knew her, and I remember her saying that she never wanted to see me again, never to be in front of her again.
I didn't know what was the matter with her coming to me so late, but I felt dizzy, and I took the key out of my pocket and walked to her.
