Chapter 661: The Direction of the Sea
Duan Yun had just plucked the strings, and the eyes of the entire restaurant were all focused on him.
This "Girl in the Flower Room" is also one of Cui Jian's famous works, it is the title song of his album in 1989, the beautiful playing of the guitar chords of "The Girl in the Flower Room", and the joint performance of the guitar and saxophone in the second half, coupled with Cui Jian's hoarse and penetrating singing, makes people intoxicated and moved.
Duan Yun has been a fan of Cui Jian for a long time, when he was learning guitar in college, he played this song many times, even if he has not touched the guitar for many years after graduating from college, he can still play it completely.
And in Duan Yun's opinion, Cui Jian's "Flower Girl" is also the most suitable for unplugged performance.
Duan Yun's fingers just touched the strings, and the familiar feeling from when he was in college instantly came to his heart.
The beautiful guitar melody instantly resounded throughout the restaurant, and the prelude of the song was very romantic and the rhythm was quite penetrating.
Duan Yun just played a prelude, Cui Jian and the other members of the band showed surprised looks on their faces, and the foreigners who were dining in the restaurant also put down their knives and forks one after another, attracted by the kind of music played by Duan Yun.
"I walked past you alone,
I have nothing to say to you,
I don't dare look up at you, oh, ...... face"
Although Duan Yun's voice is far less vicissitudes and penetrating than Cui Jian after becoming famous, it has a different style and taste.
At the moment of opening, it seems that countless memories instantly come to mind.
Duan Yun remembered his parents in his previous life, the good times in college, and the sweetness and warmth he and his fiancée Xiao Luo used to have.
Although he was reborn in this era, everything in the past was like a dream bubble, and he had a new life, but that time is still an indelible memory.
So when singing this song, Duan Yun can be said to be very affectionate, the tune is sonorous and powerful, and there is a little bit of sadness.
“...... You ask me where I'm going,
I pointed in the direction of the sea,
Your amazement is like to me, oh.
You take me into your flower room, I can't escape the fragrance of flowers,
I unconsciously forgot, oh. direction,
You say I'm the strongest in the world, I say you're the kindest in the world,
Before I knew it, I was like the flowers, oh......."
Halfway through the song, Cui Jian and the other members next to him were completely stunned by Duan Yun's singing.
Although Duan Yun's singing level is not particularly high, such a tune and performance form can be said to be extremely advanced and shocking in the current era.
At this time, Cui Jian and his band members have not yet begun to develop into rock music, and at present, they are most exposed to jazz music, and the song sung by Duan Yuan is neither popular nor bel canto, let alone jazz style, it sounds a little rough, but it has a strong sense of rhythm and has a strong impact on hearing.
Not only Cui Jian and their band members, but even the foreign guests who were eating in the restaurant at this time also felt the strong shock of this rock style, and some of them had even stood up, looking at Duan Yun with surprise and admiration.
“......... I want to go back to the old place,
I want to walk the old way,
That's when I realized I couldn't live without you, oh, girl!"
Duan Yun plucked the strings quickly and skillfully, and his singing voice was loud and emotional, full of his memories of the past, and his true feelings were revealed and very infectious.
And when he finished singing this song, the whole restaurant was silent.
But soon, there was a warm applause at the scene, not only Cui Jian and his band members, including the foreigners present, but even the lobby manager and several waitresses of the restaurant also clapped desperately, they were obviously shocked by Duan Yun's singing.
“Goodgood!”
“Oh,mygod,thisiswonderful.”
Several foreigners in the front row gave Duan Yun a thumbs up.
"This big brother, you are really good!"
"It's so good!"
"That's what it's called singing!"
Cui Jian and several band members also surrounded Duan Yun, and they all had a bit of admiration in their eyes.
For Cui Jian and the other members in the past few months, Duan Yun's song style was something they had never seen before, and Duan Yun's singing was very affectionate and infectious, which made them feel refreshed, and they couldn't help but admire Duan Yun a little.
"You wrote this song?" asked Cui Jian with a look of surprise.
"Well, when I used to be idle and had nothing to do, I made up a song by myself. Duan Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said.
In fact, it is a wonderful thing for Duan Yun to be able to perform his classic songs in front of his idols when he was a student, and he doesn't know if this song will change his recommended future music route because of the butterfly effect, but Duan Yun still wants to sing this song.
"You can write and sing your own songs, and you sing so well, what are you doing, this old brother?" Cui Jian asked again suspiciously.
"I'm an electronics factory owner, and I really like music. Duan Yun said to Cui Jian with a smile.
"This time I really believe it!" Cui Jian patted Duan Yun on the shoulder and said, "That's it, we'll get off work in half an hour, let's talk about something in another place." ”
"Done!" Duan Yun replied very dryly.
Then Duan Yun returned to his dining table and continued to eat dinner, waiting for Cui Jian and them to get off work.
And at this time, several foreigners at other tables in the restaurant greeted Duan Yun one after another, and Duan Yun also politely talked to these foreigners in a foreign language.
Seeing that Duan Yun spoke foreign languages so fluently, those foreigners were also very surprised, so much so that soon some foreigners invited Duan Yun to eat at the same table with them.
Duan Yun didn't refuse, he happily accepted the invitation and sat down with these foreigners.
In the early 80s, more and more foreigners came to Beijing, in addition to the embassies and consulates of various countries in Beijing, foreign students, and many tourists came to China.
But there are still relatively few foreigners in Beijing, and they are often watched when they walk on the street, but it is still very rare for foreigners to really know foreign languages and communicate with foreigners, so when the foreigners in these restaurants saw that Duan Yun could actually speak fluent English, they were surprised and willing to talk to this young man who looked a little unusual.
Eating at the same table with Duan Yun were staff from the British Embassy in China, a total of 6 people, and after the conversation, Duan Yun was surprised to learn that one of the old men named Makeny was the minister of the British Embassy in China, and the others were counselors, secretaries and drivers.
