Chapter 2: Poor play with the Beyond band

Li Lecheng's current body is young after all. Except for weakness, there is no serious problem.

He didn't like the hospital, and after waking up, he stayed for another night for observation and was discharged.

The first thing he did when he was discharged from the hospital was to accompany Huang Jiaju to the Caritas Centre to investigate the scene.

This is the venue that Beyond has booked to do concerts.

Now that Beyond has only been in the army for two years, it is still in the underground stage. The current members are lead singer Huang Jiaju, drummer Ye Shirong, bass Huang Jiaqiang, and Li Lecheng, who came to the scene temporarily.

This was Beyond's first concert, and everyone was very nervous.

Only Li Lecheng was too calm.

Li Lecheng held the thermos cup and checked the audio equipment provided in the next place.

A thermos cup soaked with goji berries.

If you want to maintain your health, you finally quit smoking and drinking for more than ten years in your last life, and you can't burn your years of hard work just because you return to your youth. In the future, you should live a regular life. After a few days in the hospital, he realized that health is the most important thing.

"No, what's the effect...... It's a lot of pressure to open a con at your own expense.,There's enough money.,I can support a little.。 Li Lecheng looked at Jiaju worriedly, he was not satisfied with this venue, not only that, but some things still had to be rented by another equipment company.

"We've scraped together some money, and we're still two thousand yuan away," standing on ......the stage, Huang Jiaju scratched his head in embarrassment.

Li Lecheng touched his pocket, took out his wallet, and took out all the Hong Kong papers inside: "I have exactly more than 2,000 pieces here." You don't have to pay it back. Just share the cost of the band members. ”

Huang Jiaju and Li Lecheng have such a good relationship, and they are not pretentious: "Thank you, Brother Lok!" ”

"No thanks, look at these stage equipment, what kind of bargains are they, I can't look down on 10,000, when I think of a way to help you upgrade, you can thank me again."

At the moment, beyond is not well-known, and can only do free concerts, and doing performances is bound to lose money in full.

Li Lecheng does not talk about the rich experience in his previous life, at this time he has also done a lot of concerts, two years ago Hung Hom has just been completed, the first show was won by Xu Guanjie's first large-scale solo singing, he as Xu Guanjie's accompaniment band captain, accompanied him to open three consecutive shows. In addition, since the first TVK Rookie Singing Contest was held, he has been the band leader of the live accompaniment, and seeing the debut of those kings and queens, it can be regarded as participating in the opening of the golden age of Cantonese songs.

Ye Shirong led a young man with a long face and small eyes over: "This is my friend Paul, I asked him to design a promotional poster, and I will show it to you today." ”

Ye Shirong didn't mention that his friends could also play the guitar, after all, with the help of top musicians like Li Lecheng, and they were familiar with each other and trusted, they didn't need to find anyone anymore.

Li Lecheng quietly observed Huang Guanzhong and Huang Jiaqiang, and felt very subtle.

Almost all bands have trouble because of fame and women.

Forget it, as long as Jiaju is alive, he will also pay attention to it, with the two of them suppressing it, he can't make trouble.

Li Lecheng looked at Ye Shirong with a smile: "Design poster? I don't know what designer friends you know? Say, it's as simple as that, we have little money, and we don't have money to pay for the design. ”

Who else can the little eyes be, it is naturally Huang Guanzhong.

Ye Shirong sneered embarrassedly: "I can't hide it from Brother Lok, my friend can play guitar, I didn't know that Jiaju was looking for you to fight on my behalf, so I planned to pull him to make up the numbers." ”

Actually, the best guitar player in the entire band beyond is Kakoma, but he is also the lead singer and has limited energy, so he usually only plays the rhythm guitar part, which leads to the band having to find another lead guitar. As we all know, the most important position in a band is the lead singer and lead guitarist, and the bass player is often said to be a mascot who pretends to be a coercion and a tool man who can't make up the numbers. Although it can't be generalized, this is indeed the case in most bands, and Huang Jiaqiang's bass level at this time is really the mascot level. So, Jiaqiang's level is numb, and Ye Shirong's friends are also numb, but it's still better than Jiaqiang, isn't it right to play in a band together?

Li Lecheng naturally hoped that beyond could mature as soon as possible, nodded, and looked at Huang Guanzhong: "I also came in temporarily, I don't know how long I will be in the band, but you, it looks quite pleasing to the eye, you might as well join us, first be a rhythm guitarist, how about getting used to it?" Originally, the rhythm guitar was held by Jia Ju, but you are still very immature, you can be a five-piece band first, each with one position. ”

Huang Guanzhong came to be the lead guitarist, and when he heard Li Lecheng's arrangement, although he knew that Li Lecheng was a senior boss, when he first started to learn guitar, Li Lecheng had already gone to the island country to mix, Huang Guanzhong had never seen it with his own eyes after all, and he was a little unconvinced.

Young man, it is good that the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, but the arrogance does not know the height of the sky.

Li Lecheng didn't want to argue, so he plugged in the guitar immediately, fiddled with the equipment, and tried it a few times.

"Huh?" Li Lecheng was secretly taken aback, his body memory from later life was actually brought over.

The technique and feel are all more than 50 years old, and they have long been perfected, but the sensitivity of the nerves and the flexibility of the fingers belong to this young body in its prime.

This led to the overlapping of the two peaks of hardware and software, and an unprecedented feeling instantly filled his body.

He had never felt that playing a musical instrument was so enjoyable, and he directly broke through several layers of realms and reached a new peak.

He immediately challenged Jimi's god-level solo in Voodoo Child, and the result was like a smooth stream, with notes flowing through his fingers!

'No, that's not my ceiling! ’

Take advantage of the hot feeling in your hand, don't take a breath, and take the Painkiller directly!

He came up with a few more Van Halen tunes. This series of solo went down and played for more than ten minutes before he put down his guitar.

When he looked up, he found that everyone was looking at him dumbfounded.

They've never seen such a strong live performance before, and they're just kicking their legs and coming as they say!

Huang Jiaju rushed up and grabbed his arm, excited and anxious: "Brother Lok! I didn't expect your guitar to improve again! Anyway, you're a person now, so you might as well officially join us! I don't have a guitar anymore, I just do the lead singer. The five-piece band is also good! ”

Li Lecheng put down the electric guitar and looked up at everyone: "I'm just in the emergency, let's get the concert done first, and I'll talk about it later...... By the way, Paul, would you like to play it for everyone to see? ”

Huang Guanzhong was obviously shocked by him, and hurriedly stopped: "Brother Lok, you want me to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong, where do I dare to compare." ”

"Let's play together," Li Lecheng smiled, "It doesn't matter if you have more guitars." ”

Huang Guanzhong was very excited by Li Lecheng's stimulation just now, although he knew that his skills were far inferior to others, but he still showed off for a while.

How to say the level, at this time his level is between Huang Jiaju and Huang Jiaqiang, objectively speaking, it is slightly inferior to the previous A'an, but he has not been well sandwiched before, and he has not much experience, which is normal.

"You can practice slowly in the future, there is still a lot of room for growth." Li Lecheng patted him on the shoulder.

The old man has at least one more skill than you now, and it's normal to hang and beat you.

Huang Jiaju was a little surprised, he had an idea in his head: "Paul, yes, we have two months left in the concert, and I take care of a lot of things myself, and I can't get busy, so why don't you help me play the rhythm guitar and cooperate with Brother Lok." ”

Naturally, a few people readily agreed.

Later, they returned to the rehearsal room rented by the band and practiced for most of the day before they dispersed.

Ye Shirong unusually stayed until the end today, and talked to Huang Jiaju: "I won't hide it from you, although my friend is far inferior to Brother Lok, but the songs and abilities of our band are also so-so enough, what do you think of him?" ”

Huang Jiaju muttered: "Let's get along first, after all, Brother Lok is better than us in terms of experience and ability, he can help us a lot, but it is unknown whether he wants to stay in our band, after all, as he said, the style is too different." If Paul is really willing, maybe we can use two lineups, Brother Lok is here, Brother Lok is the lead guitar, and Paul is the rhythm guitar; When Lok wasn't there, he let Paul do the lead guitar and I did the rhythm guitar. ”

Playing rock and roll, as long as it does not involve too many unclear business and itinerary entanglements, it is very common to form a band with different people at the same time, such as Huang Jiaju and Huang Jiaqiang, who have other bands outside, and Ye Shirong and Huang Guanzhong also intend to form another band outside Beyond. Ye Shirong brought Huang Guanzhong this time, it would be best if he could help, if Huang Guanzhong didn't have Beyond, it wouldn't prevent them from planning to sandwich the band together.

Li Lecheng didn't think about it so much, and after breaking up with everyone, he went home.

After he returned to Hong Kong, he did not live at home, but rented a room outside, and they moved out more freely day and night.

When I arrived at the door, I found a thin figure waiting there.

Li Lecheng was very short-sighted, and when he walked in, he found that it was Ahua who was waiting for him at the door with fruits.

"As soon as I got off the plane, I heard that you were admitted to the hospital, I went to the hospital to see you, and I heard that you were discharged, so I had to come to your house to block people."

An old friend for many years, Li Lecheng opened the door and took Ah Hua into the house.

Ah Hua came to be a lobbyist, and he talked about reorganizing the band: "Peter wants to form a new band, he will be the lead singer, you and I will be the guitar, and we will hire a new bass player and drummer. ”

"Make no mistake, Lao Xia is staying in the island country, he is not as good as me when he plays the guitar, and he dares to change careers to be the lead singer? He sings worse than you do. Li Lecheng opened the door and asked, "And this is all sincerity?" Don't come to the door in person and let you come? Does he refuse to see me, or is he too lazy to see me? ”

Although Li Lecheng has a big heart, he has a bigger temper.

It doesn't matter if he suffers a small loss, he won't let others use his forbearance as a tool.

He led Ah Hua indoors, poured him and himself a glass of water, and organized the following language:

"Ah Hua, you weren't in our band before, I don't know the inside story, in fact, with Peter...... Personally, I don't want to mix with him anymore, just keep a gentleman's friendship. I also think of you, and you and I can also cooperate in our personal capacity when we have the opportunity in the future. He's going to form a band, and I'd advise you not to get involved, it's really not interesting. ”

"Ah Lok, you and Peter don't have a conflict in principle, why do you want to do this," Ah Hua furrowed his brows, "Our gang are the top musicians in Hong Kong, isn't it good for everyone to join forces together?" Do you really want to give up? ”

Li Lecheng smiled: "I think with their own skills, they may be more open." Not to mention anything else, being a band requires a lot of time to do group activities, so you have to give up the job of being an accompanist for the singer, and you have to sacrifice this part of the income, are you willing? ”

Ah Hua was stunned, obviously a little shaken, and after a long time, he said, "Okay, what you said makes sense...... I'm not in a position to say anything more. But the record company often asks us to do the musician's accompaniment tape at the same time, and we don't see it when we look down, can you handle it? ”

Li Lecheng nodded: "Everyone is an adult, I have a clear conscience, naturally I can, but in the short term, I will avoid sharing the stage with Peter." ”

After Ah Hua left, Li Lecheng stayed at home alone, looking at the room littered with bells and whistles, and only felt lonely, depressed, and cramped. I didn't think there was anything bad about this kennel back then, but it was a place to sleep and bathe, so he could live separately from his family who quarreled all day long, and there were many bars and dance halls nearby, which was very convenient. Looking at it now, it's too small to mention, and it doesn't taste like home at all.

He shook his head and went to take a shower.

Obviously the mood is very heavy, and when I see the young face in the mirror that is wanton and charming, I am amazed.

After going to the hospital for two or three days, I have lost a lot of weight, my facial lines are smoother and firmer, and my skin and bone are perfectly combined.

It's beautiful, and Ah Wu and Ah Zu in the back are not as good as him.

"Wow, I'm excited when I see it myself, no wonder the stars of later generations are getting thinner and thinner, and indeed their temperament will be more advanced when they are thinner."

In his last life, he was so particular when he was young, he loved to drink, love sweets, love to stay up late, was lazy to eat, and didn't exercise and fitness.

This time he was hospitalized and didn't dare to tell his family. He is a single parent, Lao Dou didn't leave before his family was very good, scholarly, otherwise he wouldn't have let him learn classical music since he was a child, he is the eldest son, and there are two younger sisters below. When he was young, he felt that it was filial piety to hand over his income to his family, and he felt that he was wronged, and he worked so hard to support his family, but his family was bitter and disgusted with him, saying that he was engaged in a ninth-rate job, did not study, and did not do a proper job. Because of this, he had many conflicts with his family, and he didn't take into account that his family was not only very conservative and traditionally didn't understand him, but they still cared about him and messed up.

Now that I think about it, I only feel that I have been operating as fiercely as a tiger for decades, and it is indeed too challenging the hearts of orphans and widows who have this kind of ideological tradition. It was only when he got older that the relationship with his family eased, but by then Mommy was already old and his two younger sisters were also estranged from him.

When he was young, he was precarious, and he was in a place of sound and lust every night, and he really didn't look like a righteous person. It is still necessary to let Mommy recognize his work as soon as possible, so as to stop working hard and enjoy happiness as soon as possible.

Based on what he knew about his mommy, he immediately thought of a brilliant way to reassure her about him - buy a house!
