Chapter 65: Some Things Are Worth Doing
Zhang Lao Pao entered a state of madness, he was like an ascetic who had entered a state of selflessness, ignoring the people around him, he was immersed in his own musical world and couldn't extricate himself, but the tears flowing over and over again on his face showed the excitement in his heart.
He operated various musical instruments and made arrangements according to his inner thoughts, Wang Lei and Ma Dongmei did not expect that a song would make Zhang Laopao, who has always been proud, so excited.
Over fifty years old, Zhang Laopao's life experience can actually be called a wonderful novel, he was born in a big courtyard, he could have had a very good career, or joining the army would have received resources far beyond ordinary people.
However, Zhang Laopao did not take the above path, he chose a deviant path.
Some people will say that this is Zhang Laopao's personality, and some people will say that this is his rebellion against the world, but they don't know that Zhang Laopao actually has his own deep-seated reasons.
Zhang Lao Pao will always remember the three figures in the compound when he was a child, he, Ma Pingdong, Tang Jun, and Tang Jun's sister Tang Hong, who is two years older than them and always takes pleasure in bullying them on weekdays.
Tang Hong can be said to be the music enlightenment mentor of Zhang Laopao and Ma Pingdong, the eldest lady of the Tang family who is known for her rebellion can play a very wonderful guzheng, but no one would have thought that this legendary woman who can play the guzheng, can grab the lollipops of her younger brother and children, and can take a group of children to start a film with hooligans finally embarked on the military career and finally died on the battlefield.
There was no corpse, no military merit medal, no information of sacrifice, and Tang Jun finally received the next news that his sister was gone.
As children of the compound, they actually know what is called the confidentiality regulations, Zhang Laopao and Ma Pingdong from their deep hatred of Tang Hong when they were children to the rise of adolescence, they actually quarreled many times in private because of who Tang Hong was, and even moved their hands, and then, finally, ......
The unworldly boy wondered why the rebellious woman had made such a sacrifice, and she was in the prime of her life, but she finally disappeared without a trace.
Since then, Zhang Laopao and Ma Pingdong have their own ideas about their future path, one has embarked on the road of learning ancient music, and the other has played rock guitar.
However, what surprised them even more was that their little Tang Jun embarked on the same path two years after his sister's death or disappearance, and he also joined the army.
Four years later, the two of them received the news of the death of the Tang Army, and he fell in the battle of border defense and anti-narcotics.
Along with the news, there was also an old letter, which Tang Hong left to his younger brother back then.
"Don't ask me why, because this is the territory that my fathers bought with blood, and if you don't do some things, then you have to do it yourself, and if others don't do it, then there will be more blood and sacrifice."
This is the most profound image of Ma Pingdong and Zhang Laopao in the letter, although they have not experienced war and sacrifice, but their parents have come out of the sea of corpses and blood, at this moment they can clearly feel the vibration of their hearts.
Although neither of them joined the army or politics in the end, the two sisters and brothers of the Tang family brought great changes to their worldview and values.
Wang Lei's song "I Love You China" touched the deepest string in Zhang Laopao's heart, and he thought of Tang Hong, the woman who didn't even have any news, and Tang Jun, the Tang Jun who only left his posthumous son and wife.
Wiping away the tears that were still flowing on his face, Zhang Laopao pulled Wang Lei into the recording studio again.
"I can't sing this song, you come, I'll accommodate you today, Brother Pao and I, I can't hear the whole thing, I won't have a good year this year."
Zhang Laopao completed the arrangement at a super speed in a special state of agitation, and this song touched him very much.
Ma Dongmei looked at Wang Lei with some concern, she was afraid that Zhang Laopao would really go crazy.
"Okay, Brother Pao, if you have any requirements later, just say it directly."
Wang Lei originally planned to refuse, because he didn't want to embark on the road of singing at all, but looking at Zhang Laopao's eyes with red eyes, Wang Lei couldn't bear to refuse, although he didn't know why, but he knew that there must be a story in it, and something must have touched Zhang Laopao, which made him so excited.
"Meimei, call your dad too, he has to come today, and he has to listen to this song too."
Zhang Laopao also instructed Ma Dongmei, he felt that this song should definitely be heard by Ma Pingdong.
After Wang Lei entered the recording studio, he began to adjust his emotions, his voice was very suitable for singing this song, but his feelings definitely did not reach the level of Zhang Laopao.
After Ma Dongmei notified Ma Pingdong, Zhang Laopao began to ask Wang Lei to sing the song "I Love You China" over and over again.
"Start cutting in a little slower, not so fast, invest in emotions, emotions are not enough."
"Not enough, really not enough, put in some more, sink deeper."
When Ma Pingdong walked into the recording studio, what he heard was Zhang Laocang's instructions over and over again.
"I said Lao Pao, what kind of moth are you doing, detain my daughter and son-in-law here for the New Year, and play crazy with you."
"Don't talk nonsense, here you go, listen."
Zhang Laopao looked different from usual, and directly threw an ear curtain to Ma Pingdong.
Ma Pingdong didn't say much, and directly put on the ear curtain, and Wang Lei's somewhat hoarse voice came from the top-level equipment.
"I love you China, beloved mother, I shed tears for you, and I am proud of you......"
Wang Lei gradually put himself into the state, and he didn't notice that Ma Pingdong had come outside.
Wang Lei gradually remembered the motherland in the time and space of the earth, compared with the republic in this time and space, the motherland in the time and space of the earth suffered more and forged ahead in difficulties. He remembered the cartoon "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" in the time and space of the earth that made him excited, and he had to admit that this cartoon did make many people cry.
With emotional investment, Wang Lei's voice perfectly achieved this song at this time.
The two people listening to the song outside burst into tears at the same time, as written in the lyrics, they felt in their minds that Tang Hong should spend her secret days like this.
Wang Lei's eyes were also red after singing, he was sincerely emotional, which was not ashamed, but there was no movement outside the recording room.
Ma Pingdong felt his tears rolling down, and he quickly wiped them, for fear that his daughter would see it, but in fact, Ma Dongmei saw it in his eyes.
"This song has to be heard by more people, and I have to promote this song even if I lose my net worth."
"I support you in this matter, will it be too late tomorrow?"
"You mean?"
"Yes, tomorrow, I'll find someone, and you will find it, if it doesn't work, I'll go to our old man, he will definitely support this song."
"yes, go and tell the old guys first, hehe, we'll see if there's a big deal going on."
