the longest dream

Chapter 337 Motivation
"Since the generation of Uncle Qi and Uncle Deng, Chinese rock has been going downhill. I thought you were the starting point of Chinese rock, but I didn't expect it to be the pinnacle. Ten years have passed, not only has rock and roll declined, but the rock audience has long since disappeared. .Most people no longer care about what they are listening to. For ordinary listeners, there is no difference between rock and ballads.

They only care about whether the melody is pleasant and whether the lyrics are heartfelt, that's all.I think that's right.What does Uncle Deng think? "

After Deng Lin came down, Zhang Qing didn't mention whether he was eligible to join, but directly talked about the status quo of the industry and raised questions.

Deng Lindao: "In the past, we paid attention to the spirit of rock and roll, pursued independent thinking, resisted, did not follow the trend, and even criticized. But looking back on these years, the group of people who yelled the most fiercely won a lot of fame, fame and fortune by waving the flag. Double income, but contributed almost nothing to the development of music, because I didn't write many songs at all. After I really tasted the suffering of the world, instead of relying on imagination to be angry, my view of form has changed. Music, there is no distinction between high and low .Of course, I still write more rock songs, because that's all I'm good at."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "That's good. In this way, I will release two songs for Uncle Deng's album. The rest is up to you to write. Folk or rock, it's up to you. For singer-songwriters, Du Juan gives the best respect and support. Of course, it must be within the bounds of the law.”

After reaching for his guitar, he walked onto the stage.

Seeing this, some old customers started applauding before hearing it.

Especially a table of urban beauties whose clothes were obviously different from those of this era, and one of them, a long-haired girl, looked very excited.

And her companion looked at Qi Juan almost provocatively.

Qi Juan is not only not angry, but hey hey.

After sitting on the high chair, Zhang Qing nodded and smiled with the enthusiastic guests, and was about to speak, but Qi Ping made a pause gesture, then walked to the last table of guests, and said with a smile: "This brother, we Many of the songs in the bar are original songs, so they cannot be videotaped or recorded, please bear with me."

The man who was fiddling with the video recorder heard the words, and asked with some disappointment: "Is it okay if you don't pass it on?"

Qi Ping shook his head and laughed: "The rules in the circle are like this, record once, and next time there will be no singer to sing original."

Qi Juan came over and said with a smile: "If you want to record it, I will record it when Hua Die and Zhou Yanyan come to sing."

The guests around were all pleasantly surprised and asked, "Will they come?"

Qi Juan said with a smile: "I will definitely come if I come, we are all friends, but I don't dare to guarantee the date. Our bar will not raise the entrance fee just because a big star is here. If you hit it once, it is equivalent to earning money." A front-row ticket to a concert."

A woman of aunt's age laughed and said, "As expected of Brother Qi's daughter, it's refreshing! Well, as long as I have time in the future, I will definitely wait here."

Others also persuaded the man with the video recorder: "The source of the sound must be kept secret, and we can only sing original songs here if you trust us."

The man resentfully put away the video recorder, and said to Qi Ping, "I'm sorry."

Qi Ping smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll take your drink."

Then he gestured to Zhang Qing to continue.

After Zhang Qing nodded with a smile, he plucked the strings, and after a string of melodies sounded, he sang:
"There is a girl named Xiaofang in the village
good looking and kind

a pair of beautiful big eyes

thick and long braid

......"

Qi Juan couldn't hold back, her eyes widened suddenly, "Oh", she burst into laughter.

It's too earthy!

Deng Lin, on the other hand, looked at him with a strange expression, and even more strangely.

"The night before going back to town

You and I come to the river
Tears that never flowed flowed with the small river

Thanks for your affection for me

I will never forget in this life
Thank you for your kindness to me
Accompany me through that era
......"

Li Suzhi came over from get off work, and just heard this passage after entering the door, her complexion became even weirder, and she looked at Qi Juan with some displeasure in her eyes.

But she was puzzled, Qi Juan didn't know about Qi Ping's events back then.

After the first song, with Deng Lin's original melancholic temperament, he didn't hold back, and kept laughing non-stop.

Zhang Qing didn't stop, he paused and smiled, "Sing one more song."

Didn't enjoy the rising applause below, the guitar sounded:
"Nothing can stop

your longing for freedom
An unrestricted career

your heart is free

……

The free world in my heart
so clear

blooming and never dying
Blue lotus! ! "

The embarrassment on Qi Ping's face disappeared, Deng Lin stopped smiling, and the two of them looked at Zhang Qing who was singing loudly.

Especially Deng Lin, the excitement in his eyes made him unbearably excited.

Although he said that just now, rock and roll will always be the most sacred music hall in his heart!
Only rock and roll can have such a clear cry and the purest yearning and pursuit of freedom! !

After singing the song, Zhang Qing got up and bowed to leave the stage.

The moment he walked down the steps, the applause suddenly exploded.

In the era when the Internet is far from popular and smartphones are still a myth, there are really not many ways for people to entertain themselves.

Because of this, the appreciation of music is far more important than it is after twenty years.

"Great talent, let's make friends."

Zhang Qing was about to go to the bar, but when he passed the first table under the stage, he was pulled by the arm. A girl with short hair and neatly dressed in a suit looked at him and smiled.

Zhang Qing was a little surprised, usually he rarely saw a smile on his face and was more serious, so not many people were willing to talk to him, for fear of embarrassment.

But Zhang Qing didn't pretend to be cold, nodded and smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Qing."

The short-haired girl laughed and said, "I know. The legendary talents of Dujuan culture, we are from DDB, and we are nearby. We all came back from studying abroad and like music. I never thought that there are musicians like you in China. I It's called Lu Yao, she's Qin Xiao, she's Zhao Xuan, she likes you the most, and tears can flow down her face when she hears your songs."

Qin Xiao stood up and shook hands with Zhang Qing. Zhao Xuan was still wiping away tears, but without delay, she stretched out her fair hand, shook hands with Zhang Qing, and said, "I've been following you for a long time, but you haven't been here much recently. Singing in the bar?"

Zhang Qing said apologetically, "I'm too busy. Sit down, I've got a drink. The elders are here today, so I'll go first."

Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Go. I know this is your girlfriend's shop... Do you have any contact information?"

Zhang Qing hesitated, Lu Yao looked at the back, and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, our advertising company hopes to cooperate with Dujuan Culture... don't you mind?"

Qi Juan came from behind and said, "Very good, I didn't expect to pick up a business when I came to the bar."

After Zhao Xuan glanced at Qi Juan, she took out a pen and paper from her bag and handed it to Zhang Qing. After Zhang Qing left the office phone number, she apologized again, and then returned to the bar with Qi Juan.

After Zhang Qing greeted Li Suzhi, Deng Lin didn't open his eyes, and said with a smile: "With your image and conditions, you really entered the circle, and you can't stop this kind of thing."

Zhang Qing was ashamed: "So I'm not qualified to join the circle. Uncle Deng, what do you think of the two songs just now?"

Deng Lin laughed and said, "Where did the motivation for the first song come from?"

Li Suzhi and Qi Ping stared at him.

Zhang Qing said naturally: "I read a few novels about educated youth returning to the city, and I got more feeling, so I wrote this song. I think the mainland market is still more suitable for this kind of country ballad and love song. The second song was written recently. Yes, after talking with Juanzi about freedom a few times, I was a little touched."

Qi Ping was relieved and praised: "It's well written."

Deng Lindao: "The first song is very good, but I like the second one better. It's absolutely perfect. In the old world like ours, I thought it was safe from fire and water, but I didn't expect to be shocked by a rock and roll song. The music world is a genius, and the reputation is well-deserved. .”

Zhang Qing said: "I'll give these two songs to Uncle Deng. Tomorrow you go to Dujuan Culture, find a contract with Ouyang Wanqing, and then you can ask Director Xu Zhen to record the song. In addition, if you need money urgently, you can pay a sum from the company first. Don’t feel embarrassed, because you will definitely be able to pay it back. Yue Linger paid a sum of money before, no, she paid several sums, to treat her grandma, to travel for her younger siblings... Senior sister Linger is more confident, and she will definitely be able to pay it back. Pay the money. Sure enough, it won’t take half a year to pay back.”

When Deng Lin heard this, he didn't say anything, but gave Qi Ping a thumbs up.

Qi Ping laughed loudly and said: "It's average, it's still young, you need to criticize more to grow."

Deng Lin gave him a disgusted look, and said, "At this age, the style of doing things like this is ten thousand times better than ours. He is so-so, what have we become?"

Li Suzhi smiled and said: "The more this is the case, the more I hope he can continue to improve."

Deng Lin became serious, obviously knowing Li Suzhi's identity and character, and said goodbye: "Tomorrow I have to go to work, so I won't talk too much, I'll go back and sort out my works, and I'll come back later."

Then leave resolutely.

Qi Ping was very reluctant to give up, and he didn't even try to persuade him to stay several times.

After being sent out the door and turned back, she looked at Li Suzhi helplessly.

Li Suzhi looked calm, and said to Zhang Qing: "Strictly demand the character of the company's artists, and don't be fooled by appearances. This Deng Lin looks gentle, but his reputation for being romantic back then was very loud. And that's not called being romantic. He played with the so-called Guo'er, is that called romantic? That's called dirty!"

Zhang Qing was annoyed: "Auntie, if you come back early, I won't sing."

Qi Juan giggled and said, "You really look down on my dad, don't you? Is my dad so shameless?"

Zhang Qing was speechless, and Li Suzhi smiled broadly, "But it should be fine now. After suffering so much, knowing the sufferings of the world and the harshness of the world, there should be progress. How are Mom and Dad? I forgot to ask yesterday. The family got a few new old ginseng, which were sent by your uncle Qi's old classmate from the northeast, you can see when you send someone back."

Zhang Qing politely declined: "It's really unnecessary, auntie, my parents are not very old, so there is no need to make up so much."

Li Suzhi shook her head and said: "I lost a lot in the early years, and it's better to make up for it. You'd better persuade them to come to Pingjing, and I'll find a Chinese doctor to show them."

Zhang Qing said with a wry smile: "They don't want to come. Xiao Lan said that my parents have already set up a table for a few days after they returned. There are too many people coming to congratulate, they have to take care of the meal."

Li Suzhi said slightly seriously: "Zhang Qing, Auntie treats you as her own child, so she doesn't beat around the bush. Even with relatives and friends, you have to be moderate. Especially, you shouldn't promise, you can't promise casually. Otherwise, they will fight outside If you do things with your brand name, the consequences will be very serious. They violated the law and discipline, and it is your image that they violated."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, my mother can still understand this point."

Qi Juan also smiled and said: "The main reason is that his grandfather is very wise, and the family has a lot of backbone. He has always said to the outside world that even their closest relatives are farming at home, let alone others. His second and third uncles used to Instead, he used his name to show off, and was quickly warned. Now the county leaders know that Zhang Qing is not close to them, and has enmity."

Li Suzhi smiled and said: "It's rare to understand people. How was Yanyan's birthday yesterday? I remember that she and Shanshan were on the same day, why was it postponed for a month?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "At that time, the lunar calendar was passed as the solar calendar, but it was actually yesterday."

Li Suzhi smiled, didn't say anything, Qi Ping said: "When are you going to fly to the United States?"

Zhang Qing said: "Three days later."

Qi Ping said: "Tianhong has a team of lawyers over there, you are welcome if you need it."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Uncle Six has already introduced me to a team of TVB lawyers in the United States. It has been used for [-] years, and [-]% of them are still Chinese. It will be more convenient for me to contact after I go there."
