Perfect Life

Shuntian Fuhui Bookstore.

On the fifth day of the new year, at eight o'clock in the morning, the bookstore just opened, and there was a long queue outside the door.

It is said to be a long queue, but it is not too long, because there is no shortage of stock, so the manager on duty arranged to move the supply of goods to the gate on the first floor, and then hung a sign at the gate: "Once You" is on sale now!", basically The top is who is in the queue, prepare the money, and take it wherever you go.

Of course, in the early morning, there are many people coming, and they all come at this time, so there is definitely a need for queuing - there are at most thirty or forty people, at least twenty at least, and there are always people leaving and people coming.

Hui Bookstore sells a large number of original foreign language books and a large number of original albums in English and Spanish. Therefore, although the scale of the three-story building is not large or small, it can be regarded as a small book in some small reading circles and music circles. It is quite influential, and even many record companies in Shuntian Prefecture are VIP members here, and entrust this bookstore to be responsible for the procurement of various overseas albums.

He was busy until 8:30. Hundreds of albums had already been sold. Only then did the manager on duty suddenly realize that the stereo in the store had not been turned on, so decisively, he opened a box of CDs and opened it. In-store sound system.

Then, the sound of a guzheng came out.

This is for customers. The store is so busy right now, so you can imagine that, from the manager on duty to the general salesperson, they don't have the energy and heart to listen to the album. As for the customers... so early, There are not many people who really come to the store to hang out and pick up books, so most of the people who come here are rushing to "Once You", and they are the most typical kind of customers who have a clear goal and buy and leave.

When Zheng Mo came to the bookstore, it was almost nine o'clock. He was a little surprised when he saw dozens of people lining up at the door, but at this time, the sound system in the store just happened to be playing "Once You". Song, listening to this melody, and then looking at the sign that says "Once You Are Available Now!" hanging on the door, he couldn't help but pouted and shook his head slightly disdainfully.

Following the flow of people, he passed many people and walked to the counter. Seeing that he was not far from the counter, some people didn't want to. "Hey, buddy, queue up!"

Zheng Mo didn't care at first, but then someone grabbed his arm, and when he turned around, that person also said, "Is it the one who bought the album? Line up later, we all buy the album!"

Zheng Mo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously caught the angry eyes of many people behind the team. He hesitated for a moment, and quickly said: "I'm a VIP member, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone already said, "I'm still a VIP, go later!"

Zheng Mo spread his hands, the boss in his heart was unhappy, but he didn't dare to go forward in the face of so many people's glares. When he was in a dilemma, he just turned his head and saw a familiar figure, and his eyes immediately lit up, " Manager Shen, is the order I handed in a year ago, is it ready?"

The manager on duty of the Hui Bookstore was surnamed Shen. When he heard Zheng Mo, he hurried over and the two shook hands briefly. Manager Shen said with a smile, "There is one more piece of Corinna that hasn't been sent. But the rest are all ready, it's at the counter, I'll get it for you!"

Zheng Mo thanked him and was about to follow him. After thinking about it, he turned his head and glanced at a few people in the team.

Many people in the back were angry.

But after listening to the dialogue, you can tell that this person is indeed a regular customer of Renjiahui Bookstore, and even knows the manager on duty. In the end, although everyone is eager to get the album quickly, no one wants to mess with it. What's the matter, so, despite seeing Zheng Mo triumphantly getting a stack of albums, and adding a few copies of "Once You" to his small cargo box, he settled the bill and left, many people I was suffocating in my heart, but in the end, no one stood up and said anything.

Zheng Mo took the album he ordered, and just got into the car when he went out, he received a call from Zhou Zhao, general manager of Xinda Records, "Lao Zheng, Lao Xiao, they don't know if they are in the studio at this point? I just got Li Qian. The album of , do you want to go to the studio too, let's listen to it together?"

Zheng Mo said with a smile: "I just got it, and I'm going back to the studio, Mr. Zhou, will you come too?"

Zhou Zhao quickly replied: "Okay, I'll go there right away, see you later."

"Hey, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Mo quickly started the car and went straight to the music studio of Feixiang Band.

It's only a quarter past nine, but the seven members of the band have already arrived, and it looks like they are about to start rehearsing!

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Aiguo had already gathered everyone and started rehearsing the new song. It could be seen that his spirit was unprecedentedly high. The two songs he revised and the newly written piece were all of the same standard. It's quite high, so the whole band let him lead the band, and his anger rose up unconsciously. These days, everyone arrives early and leaves late, and the rehearsal is quite hard.

Zheng Mo entered the studio, put down the box, and greeted everyone one by one. Seeing that Geng Le was a little drowsy, watching the effort that no one was paying attention to, he whispered, "I played late last night?"

Geng Le yawned, but he didn't mean to hide it at all, but there was a deep sense of tiredness and dissatisfaction in his words, "Yesterday you all flashed away, Lao Xiao took me and Ma'er to continue arranging the song, lying down. Slot, at three o'clock in the morning, you said that Lao Xiao is not sleepy, call me before eight o'clock..."

Before Zheng Mo could answer, Xiao Aiguo had already smiled and said: "Listen to what you mean, it seems that you are really old, I remember that time, twenty years ago, we didn't stay up until three or four o'clock one day. I got up at six or seven in the next morning, and went on! I didn't hear your nagging at that time, it was so sleepy! I went back last night and shot again, right? Was it the same girl last time?"

Everyone laughed.

Geng Le rolled his eyes and yawned again, looking like he was tired of being too lazy to refute.

At this time, the door of the studio was pushed open, and Zhou Zhao from Cinda Records strode in, "Hey, where are you all? You guys have been really diligent recently!"

Then he turned to look at Zheng Mo, "Old Zheng, where's the album? Didn't you take it too?"

When Zheng Mo heard the words, he turned around and took out three identical albums from the box, "Here, here, I bought it from the queue, haha! Some grandchildren are still staring at me, shit!"

Geng Le glanced at a few people on the album cover, rubbed his eyes suddenly, and suddenly felt a lot of energy, "Damn, this is listed? You are a real prodigal, you still buy so many of this kind of **** album. Zhang, you pay for it privately, the studio will not reimburse you!"

While talking, he walked over and took one, looked at it, and smiled: "Just right, I'm very sleepy at the moment, let's listen to his album and let me squint for a while?"

He said this to everyone, but in the end, his eyes naturally fell on Xiao Aiguo - unexpectedly, a look of hesitation flashed on Xiao Aiguo's face.

Everyone said "Okay", but Geng Le didn't notice the difference in Xiao Aiguo's expression. He took the CD and went straight to the CD player, but Ma Aishu was attentive and found that Xiao Aiguo's face was a little wrong, so he turned to look at him. .

The two looked at each other, and Xiao Aiguo suddenly said, "Let's rehearse first!"

In the studio, everyone was stunned.

Then, everyone looked at each other.

Xiao Aiguo regretted the words, but the words had already been said, so he had no choice but to say: "I don't want to be influenced by anyone, let's get the feeling right first, and listen to it when we have a rest, it's too late! "

Cinda's boss Zhou Zhao, and their agent Zheng Mo were all there, and they all came here early in the morning. The reason is obviously self-evident. Even early in the morning, they deliberately went to get a new one. The album was released and rushed over. At this time, when I heard Xiao Aiguo's words, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Ma Aishu was also stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Old Xiao, what's wrong?"

After a while, Xiao Aiguo smiled, "Alright!"

After a pause, he reluctantly shrugged, "If you want to listen, it's fine, but I'm going to be rude, don't care if other people's albums are good or bad, don't affect your mentality, after listening to them later, let's Or how to rehearse how to rehearse! OK?"

Everyone answered "No problem".

Then, Geng Le tore open the package and went to play with the CD player, including Zhou Zhao and Zheng Mo, everyone found a place to sit down, ready to listen to the popular rock album "Once You". How is the color.

At this time, Ma Aishu took the initiative to sit next to Xiao Aiguo and whispered, "Old Xiao, what happened?"

Xiao Aiguo looked at him and smiled, "It's okay!"

"Is it all right?"

"It's all right!"

While talking, Geng Le had put the album down, walked back with the remote control in his hand, and said with a smile, "Come, listen, let's see what these little brats can come up with, just the song "Flying More" Gao", damn, I really don't know how you guys have the guts to call that kind of **** called rock!"

While speaking, he sat down, pressed his hand, and then dropped the remote control.

A burst of guzheng sound quickly came from the stereo.

Everyone frowned and listened.

Rock music originated in the West, but since it was introduced into China, it was inevitably contaminated with many domestic factors. As early as the early 1980s, some domestic rock bands began to try to add some oriental national instruments to the arrangement of rock music. The effect is good. In the last two albums released by Feixiang in the mid-1980s, Xiao Aiguo and Ma Aishu also tried this arrangement, but the response was mediocre. Later, with their semi-retirement, rock music began to retreat. Hot, although there are still bands trying this type of arrangement style, but obviously, none of them have been able to catch fire. Therefore, this kind of arrangement is not new at all, but it is not new, and the country is really mature at the moment. In this style, there are really only four beauties at present.

There are also many similar arrangements in their last album "False Monk", which has been regarded as a classic by many domestic rock bands to this day.

And now, the second album of the four beauties, the first song at the beginning is actually arranged like this - and it is very long!

This prelude to the guzheng, although there are other musical instruments, will definitely be more than a minute long. Therefore, many people are a little surprised to hear it.

Ma Aishu got up and walked over, took the CD box, turned to the back, and saw the song title.

"It's called "Let Me Sprinkle Some Wild on This Snow"!" he said.

Hearing this name, many people raised their eyebrows, while Xiao Aiguo narrowed his eyes.

In the sound of the guzheng, the chime is gradually rising.

Finally, like veterans of hunting for many years, a group of rock bulls in this room suddenly smelled a creepy, yet inexplicably excited smell in the dullness.

The sound of the drums began to grow louder...and quickly became violent.

I have to say that just this piece of arrangement made many people in the room excited immediately.

Even a veteran like Ma Aishu didn't subconsciously move his **** and change his sitting position - it's just a piece of composition, of course it's not enough to explain too much, but at least one thing, like Ma Aishu and Xiao Aiguo. The veteran can smell it right away, that is, the taste of this album is very positive!

The drums picked up, the rhythm shifted, and the bass, guitar, and drums suddenly formed the kind of wobbly rhythm that had some traces on the Big Four Beauties' last album, The False Wanderer.

Only this time, the bass performed extra prominently, making the whole rhythm a lot more explosive!

"I'm shirtless, I'm facing the wind and snow,

Running on the way out of the hospital,

Don't stop me, I don't want clothes,

Because my disease is not feeling. "

After brushing it, no one else felt it, but Xiao Aiguo suddenly felt a faint tingling in his heart.

Subconsciously, he straightened his back.

"Give me some meat, give me some blood,

Replace my will as steel and mind as iron,

make me cry, make me laugh,

Let me scatter a little wild on this snow.

Hey, hey, because of my illness, I just don't feel it,

Hey, hey, let me spread a little wild on this snow. "

Unconsciously, Geng Le's Erlang's legs stopped shaking, and his expression gradually became serious, while Ma Aishu stared at the enclosed song page in his hand, looked at the lyrics, and frowned slightly.

As for Xiao Aiguo, he rubbed his nose expressionlessly.

It’s still the same sentence, don’t care how everyone doesn’t deal with it, but when it comes to understanding and grasping rock music, it’s hard for others to say. So, if a rock piece is good or bad, they can definitely feel it.

"I don't have clothes on, I don't wear shoes,

But I can't feel the strong and strong northwest wind,

I don't know if I'm walking or running,

Because my disease is not feeling.

Give me a little stimulation, sir, doctor,

Give me some love, my lady nurse,

Make me cry, or make me laugh,

Let me scatter a little wild on this snow.

 …”

…………

The first song that lasted for seven and a half minutes finally came to an end, Geng Le's expression was a little more relaxed, and he was even in a mood to laugh, saying: "It's okay, it's not too bad, I thought it was all "Flying" "Higher" that kind of stuff!"

Many people nodded, Zhou Zhao thought about it, and said, "The lyrics are as bright as ever, and the arrangement is exceptional."

Neither Xiao Aiguo nor Ma Aishu spoke.

It's just that at this time, Xiao Aiguo slowly let out a sigh of relief.

The song, it's great, but not so good that he needs to back down or be scared, and he doesn't even think it's much better than their "False Monk" album, except The arrangement at the beginning is really eye-catching. He even feels that the overall level of this song is not as good as "The False Monk" and "The Girl in the Flower House". Compared with the song "Nothing", it is even more disparate.

At least, he believes that with the works he has now, he will not be at a disadvantage.

Of course, when he heard this song, he already knew that, in fact, his previous fears had been completely confirmed—analyzing Li Qian's past albums, he knew that it was really a reflection of various styles and orientations. The little guy who has played everything to a proficient level, so it is impossible for any of his albums to have a style like "Once You" or only "Fly Higher". style of the situation.

In every album he has made, the works that are responsible for literature and art and improve the quality of the entire album, and the works responsible for expanding the audience and improving the commercial and popular nature, are always matched to complement each other.

Therefore, it is impossible for his album to only have pop rock like "Flying Higher".

Although I know in my heart that as long as I make an album with my heart, I don’t have to think about who the opponent is, or even whether there is an opponent, and I don’t have to worry about winning or losing, but I have to say that from the very beginning, Hope to use the conflict between each other to improve himself and the whole band, and then the pressure became more and more, and then to the ecstasy after hearing "Fly Higher"... Xiao Aiguo's own heart In fact, I know better than anyone that my mentality is no longer normal.

If ten years ago, he was always looking forward to a few more great people in the rock circle, why would he have such a desire to hope that other people's albums would not be too strong?

However, there is no way, he knows that he will show all his strength, but he still subconsciously hopes that his opponent can be a little worse than he imagined.

…………

The second song of the new album of the four beauties is called "Start Over".

The same high level as always, the same high level of lyrics, the same high level of composition and arrangement, and the same high level of weird, dashing but endearing tone.

"My feet are on the earth, and my head is on the sun,

I pretend I am the only one in this world,

I close my eyes, I lean against the wall,

I pretend that there is no longer a head on this shoulder.

la la la... la la la...

I don't want to leave, I don't want to exist,

I don't want to live too real.

I want to leave, I want to exist,

I want to die and start all over again. "

Before he knew it, Geng Le's Erlang's legs had been put down, and even he could not help but have a serious face and a solemn expression.

As for Ma Aishu, he seemed to have fallen into the lyrics at this time. He lowered his head and stared at the lyrics book, not knowing whether he was reading it or was distracted.

Xiao Aiguo felt that his heart was beating faster and faster.

For a few moments, he felt that his breathing seemed to be out of rhythm, and he needed to take a breath from time to time to prevent himself from being suffocated to death.

Wait until the end of this song~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In fact, only two of the ten songs in this album have passed, and the time is only 12 or 13 minutes, but for Xiao Aiguo, it seems like It's been a long, long time - finally, the second song "Start Over" is over, he slowly let out a sigh of relief, shook his neck, adjusted his sitting posture, and was ready to meet the next song. challenge.

At this time, the third song, has already started very quickly.

The song is called "A Piece of Red Cloth".

At the beginning of the song, there was not much abnormality, but Li Qian's singing of everything made the silence like Xiao Aiguo, and finally couldn't help but suddenly widen his eyes.

***

The second is more served!

It has more than 10,000 words. Is there any wood? Are you completely exhausted and paralyzed?

Well, the work that belongs to me has been over-completed, and now I can finally go to bed. As for the monthly pass, I will ask you all!

See you tomorrow! (To be continued.)
