Chapter 135
"Write a good song..."
Chen Xi thought deeply for a long time and expressed his dream...
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Boss Liu Yang also let go of his worry...
I say buddy, you have been thinking about writing a good song for so long, I thought your dream was to poke a hole in the sky!
After thinking, Liu Yang smiled at Chen Xi, his chubby face full of sincerity,"Teacher Chen, how about you sing it for Kaizi, Haozi and others to see how it feels?"
"Okay, I want to listen too!"Chen Xi agreed without hesitation.
"I'll get the bass..." Liu Hao hurried to the bar, Zhang Shirong went to the box to get paper and pen, but couldn't find any paper, so he tore off a piece of the box!
Director He held the guitar and taught Zhou Kai and Zhou Jun, while Liu Yang and Zhang Shirong stood by and watched Chen Xi write the lyrics...
After a while, Liu Hao came back with the bass, and also stood by Director He and watched. Director He was addicted to teaching.…
"No!"Too heavy! Softer!"…
"Transition, transition!
Zhou Kai and Zhou Jun studied very seriously, and Liu Hao also gently plucked the bass! Having been a senior executive of an entertainment company for almost twenty years, he feels pretty good as a mentor! After
Chen Xi finished writing the lyrics, he also stood by and watched. Director He has the potential to be a mentor. He raised his eyebrows and scolded people...
The people being scolded were very attentive!
Director He lost confidence in teaching,"That's it, Chen Xi will send you the simple music later..." If he continued teaching, it would be daybreak, and there would be business tomorrow!
The three people stood nervously by the warehouse. Zhang Shirong held up a box with lyrics written on it and stood in front of the three people, ready to take action at any time! Director He sat on a stool, crossed his legs, looked at the three people in front of him, ready to turn off the lights at any time!
Chen Xi and Liu Yang stood aside, watching this scene seriously...
Sure enough, it stopped before the chorus!
"Could you please stop leaning forward while you're singing?" Liu Hao's bass had just started when the guitar was tuned wrong. Zhou Kai couldn't see the lyrics clearly, so he moved forward and played the wrong string...
Zhou Kai pouted,"Shirong, hold it closer, Teacher Chen's handwriting is a little small!"
Liu Hao glared at Zhou Kai,"You blame Teacher Chen for having small handwriting, it's obviously you who are blind!"
"I was afraid of blocking Mr. He’s sight…" Zhang Shirong also defended himself
"We are practicing singing, not a talent show to see faces."After Liu Hao scolded Zhang Shirong, he looked at Director He again, lowered his eyebrows and said,"Isn't that right, Mr. He..."
He Nanting looked at this scene and recalled it. It was very interesting and nostalgic. Who didn't have a few guys who sabotaged each other when they were young? But how long has it been since the guys last contacted each other?
"Today's song practice ends here. If you haven't practiced this song 500 times, don't sing it to others!"
Director He has a guitar at home, and also has a simple score of"Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies"!
Zhou Kai put down the guitar and said firmly,"Director He, we will practice it 600 times!"
Director He nodded, this young man is teachable!
"Mr. He, don't worry, I'll keep counting for them. I'll let them on stage when they catch my eye. I'm very selective..." Liu Yang promised, patting his chest.
Chen Xi looked at the scene!
Everyone was having a great time. Maybe it was the same when they were discussing songs?
Thinking of this, he walked over and said,"Let me tell you a story."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Xi. Chen Xi was a little sober now. He was nervous when he was suddenly stared at. He calmed down and said,"It's a story about a band." When the four members of the Dream Band heard this, they all paid attention...
Chen Xi thought about it again before deciding to start like this,"Once upon a time, there was a band that had always insisted on the original path. It was very difficult. They were kicked out of the company several times. Maybe they also thought about giving up…
"When I first started singing, I didn’t have as many fans as you do, my work wasn’t recognized, my record label lost money, I persisted for five years, but the company gave me an ultimatum…
"The band members kept changing, but the soul of the band was always there. In the fifth year, they finally achieved some success, but were criticized by fans and the audience left the concert early.…
"Another year passed before the band was truly recognized, and then...
At this point, Chen Xi paused. A year passed, only four words, but this year was difficult!
Several people were attracted by Chen Xi's story and did not interrupt, just waiting quietly...
Chen Xi raised his head, stroked his cheek, and then continued to tell the story,"Then, in order to pursue their own music, they went overseas…
"In the tenth year since the band was founded, the lead singer wrote a song called"Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies".…
"Teacher Chen, is this a song like this?"Liu Yang pointed at the guitars in Zhou Kai's hands.
Chen Xi nodded,"Yes, very similar. After this song, they became popular in every corner, and then, the lead singer left!"
"Why did he leave?"
"Where did he go?
Zhou Kai and Liu Hao asked at the same time, why did he leave after becoming famous?
Chen Xi's eyes flickered,"It seems that he went to make music somewhere else.…"
"What about the other members of the band?"Liu Hao asked curiously.…
"The other members have also been insisting on making music!"
He Nanting stared at Chen Xi in deep thought, recalling similar bands in recent decades in his mind. He had no impression at all, but what Chen Xi said was particularly real, because he choked up several times.
Was it fabricated...?
The members of the Dream Band felt that Chen Xi was telling them the story of dreams and struggles, piecing together Chen Xi's story with his own experience and Hai Kuo Tian Kong...
Unable to let go, Chen Xi recalled the 1996 live version! The nearly 7-minute"Hai Kuo Tian Kong", everyone was singing, everyone was crying, and the instruments were also wailing...
Although the interlude and the outro were there, it was not a complete Hai Kuo Tian Kong, the singing was not good, and it was out of tune...
But every time he listened to it, Chen Xi would cry...
In this world, he finally couldn't hear it anymore... At two o'clock in the morning, in memories, sadness, gratitude and determination, Director He and Chen Xi left"the past time"...
The cold wind blew, and the alcohol came back.
Headache!
……
June 24, Saturday!
At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Xi was still asleep...
A military green truck, with fourteen people in total, slowly got on the highway, accelerated, and rushed to Yanjing!
At eight forty-five!
Minister Xie's phone rang at the Palace Museum's Cultural Department! A call from the General Office of Culture, a serious voice!
"Minister Xie, I need to check your resume. The background and process of the song"Heaven and Earth Dragon Scale" also need to be reported in detail!
My qualifications and abilities have been affirmed countless times. The Organization Department began to investigate three years ago!
At the age of 58, the opportunity finally came!
Nine thirty!
At the Magic City International Airport, on the flight from Shouer to Magic City, Zhang Xingyue's expression was a little serious. Looking through the window, he looked at the familiar scenery, the towering buildings, and identified the direction of the Magic City Central Building!
Ten ten!
The clock pointed perfectly!
June 24, the college entrance examination results are checked!
At the Magic City No. 9 Middle School, Principal Tan stood in the shade of the wall and smoked two cigarettes; the results speak, if the test is not good, it is because I let the students listen to the song! Principal Tan smiled helplessly,"Fight for face, don't let me take the blame!"
Education is not achieved overnight, do what you think is right, the child is too tired, carrying a mountain, just be an old Yugong!
I crushed the cigarette butt carefully and threw it into the mineral water bottle in my hand. I saw the ashes on the ground, rubbed them with my feet, and walked out from the shadows. The sun was shining! It was eleven o'clock!
The hotel double room!
"Director He, Director He…" Chen Xi called out to Director He who was in the next bed!
Director He opened his eyes dazedly, feeling a little dizzy."I drank a little too much last night, Chen Xi, I should have drunk one more bottle than you."…"
"We both drank the same amount..." Chen Xi remembered it very clearly!
"Liu Yang and I drank one more cup…
"You two took a sip...
The phone interrupted the argument between the two. Director He picked up the phone and cleared his throat.…
"Hello, Minister Xie!"
