前言

The FFE International Rock Festival, which is held every two years and attracts countless fans, was held in Brussels, Belgium this year.What many domestic music fans are looking forward to is that this year, a domestic band will go to this world-class music feast for the first time, and will be involved in a wave of Chinese style rock among the dazzling and powerful European and American trends.

This battle is not easy.Whether it is a bright spot or a failure is unknown.

The domestic brokerage company planned a large-scale selection competition. After more than half a year of screening, in the national selection finals of Tomahawk and Red Silk at the Rice Music Festival on May [-]st last year, the band Liuxi, which was most popular for winning the championship, shined brilliantly. , won the championship title in one fell swoop and obtained the qualification to lead the team to Belgium, shouldering heavy responsibilities but also supreme glory!

Sun Yangyang, the lead singer of Six Happiness Band, is handsome and has a bright voice. As a rising star, he seems to have become an existence that cannot be ignored in the rock circle.Even some harsh and conservative music critics or rock "old guns" appreciate him a lot, and he has a bright future.

Sun Yangyang chose his idol Xu Gang's "Will Enter the Wine" as the finale of the three songs without even thinking about it. A majestic new song without losing the charm of the country, he became a fan at the Mi Grain Music Festival Countless good works.

The two met head-to-head to study the arrangement and musical instrument replacement for nearly a month, removed the elements that Sun Yangyang was not good at, and strengthened the effect of singing and part of the recitation. When the demo of the finished product came out, even Xu Gang gave a thumbs up.

In August of the following year, nearly a hundred rock bands gathered in Brussels.From the well-known veteran teams in Europe and America for many years, to the young rookies who have sprung up in the past two years, the stars are gathered together, and the fans are fascinated by the power and charm of music. It fully proves that what belongs to the nation belongs to the world.

At the FFE Rock Festival, "Will Enter the Wine" by the Liuxi band, with its majestic and mysterious Chinese style, amazed the whole world in one fell swoop. It not only won the praise of the judges, but also won the most important ROCKSTARBAND Awards, topping the music radio charts for a month.

"Yangyang, have you heard? STONEK is coming to the Spring Festival Gala in City B." Guitarist Jin Gang squatted on the ground smoking a cigarette, and nervously tapped the time with his empty left index finger: "What's the name of that golden retriever? Awesome! The eyes are higher than the top, as if his father is Li Gang."

Drummer An Gu sat down on the steps: "You mean JOEY? Look at that boy with blond hair and blue eyes. His father can't be Li Gang. Clinton is about the same hahaha he is uneducated."

Keyboard Wang Jiji is a small guy with an unattractive appearance: "We have snatched their most valued award. It's pretty cool to start playing on the spot, okay? But to be fair, I like STONEK's style very much, and the lead singer JOEY's The voice is definitely good, I think he can try the German industrial style."

Sun Yangyang threw the cigarette butt onto a small pile of remnant snow at his feet, and smiled slightly, with a youthful arrogance and flying: "Come on, I'll treat him to a big bowl of tea when I'm free."

Beth Wu Bing's girlfriend Lulu was also there, who also happened to be a diehard rock fan. Hearing this, she immediately gave another interpretation from a female perspective: "Is that Joey? Is that kid super handsome? He's 1.9 meters tall Tall, with blond hair, blue eyes like the Aegean Sea, tender dripping water, and that voice when singing, tsk tsk can make people's ears pregnant! fire, fire, this is the end of days!"

The girl imitated the vocals of the two famous STONEK songs, flicked her long hair, and drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Wu Bing immediately became displeased: "That kid is handsome? Is it as handsome as us? Does that kid have a nice voice? Is it as good as ours?"

Lulu hooked her boyfriend's neck carelessly: "Didn't I know that you are straight, I was able to fall in love with Sun Yangyang for you. You praise him so much, don't you consider your girlfriend's psychological shadow area?"

"Then you praise that yellow hair so much, don't you consider your boyfriend's psychological shadow area?" Wu Bing gritted his teeth and responded quickly.

"Okay, okay, can you two show affection and consider our psychological shadow area?" Sun Yangyang jumped off the rusty guardrail and stretched his waist. The motorcycle leather jacket moved up with the movement of the young man, revealing The army green T-shirt inside: "Sneaked in to rehearse after smoking hemp. It's almost New Year's Eve, and I just wanted to go home and lie down and sleep. I was squeezed by the company, and you all have to thank me for the half-month vacation." fight for."

An Dun immediately got up and made a bow, with a solemn expression: "I will offer you three sticks of incense when I get home, and pay my respects."

The brothers laughed and went back to the studio to continue rehearsing new pieces.The bright winter sun has no heat, and the white light hangs weakly above the head. The cold wind blows the bare branches and shakes. There is a small puddle of water at the root of the red brick wall that freezes. Together with the withered yellow grass nests on the side, it outlines the winter in the north. temperature.

............................................................

Sun Yangyang didn't expect that Joey really came looking for him.

It was only in the morning on Sina Entertainment that I saw the scene of STONEK landing at the airport in City B and being welcomed by fans. Now this big man is already in front of his eyes.heart block.

Originally, I was 1.8 meters tall, and I couldn't be called short no matter where I was, but there was such a guy in front of me——

That sense of oppression and comfort.day!

"Hi! Seeyouagain." The big man smiled brightly, his neat teeth gleaming. Joey spoke Chinese not so proficient slowly, ostentatiously: "Sun Yangyang, listen, I can speak Chinese now."

Sun Yangyang laughed, he really didn't know what to say.

This stems from the fact that Joey insisted on coming to him for a drink and a chat at the end of the Brussels Rock Festival.Sun Yangyang’s poor English was a bit frustrating when he first came, but he was in a hurry to go out with his friends to buy something and bring it to his mother when he returned to China, so he waved his hand in a perfunctory manner, saying that he can’t communicate well because he doesn’t know English, and he waited for Joey to learn Chinese Besides.Simple and rude, straight to the point.

Unexpectedly, this little fool took it seriously.

"Joy, right?" Sun Yangyang's English is not good, and he doesn't intend to give up his English name at all: "It's rare to come here, let's go, buddy, I'll treat you to a big bowl of tea."

"ohnono." The golden retriever spoke his mother tongue instinctively in a hurry: "I have Chinese name," the big man raised his eyebrows, his fair skin almost glistened in the sun: "my Chinese name is Deyi. How is it? Is it very happy?" ... very happy?"

Sun Yangyang laughed unkindly, and wanted to pat him on the shoulder to encourage him, but found that the height difference was full of malice, so he gave up: "It's pretty good! You came back to the United States from Brussels to learn Chinese?"

Proud Joey blinked his eyes, his slender eyelashes were thick and curled up, and he raised four slender fingers: "Four months! Oh my god, I am a genius! Chinese is so difficult...I have a Chinese father. So I can One point, this time I learned some seriously from him, so I can talk to you."

Sun Yangyang was confused: "I said buddy, you are a mixed race who can't tell you have Chinese blood at all?"

"What?" Joey still had a bit of difficulty encountering difficult sentences, so Chicken and Duck explained: "My father is my father's lover, and they have been together for a long time."

"Huh?" Sun Yangyang was startled.Do you want to talk about this kind of family secret relationship so frankly?Dude, do we not know each other well: "I mean, I thought your father gave birth to you, no, no, I mean...fuck!"

Talking to foreigners is so fucking hard!

Miraculously, Joey understood it. The young man smiled happily, his blue eyes narrowed, and round silkworms floated under his eyes. He was handsome and a little cute: "Yangyang, my father is not my father. My mother is French, she Divorced my father and went back to Paris—”

"OKOK!" Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few people on the other side of the door laughing to the point of cramp, and even the door frame trembled suspiciously.Sun Yangyang couldn't help but find out that he and Joey had been standing in the cold wind at the door of the studio and chatting for a long time: "I just finished here, are you going to go in and have a cup of hot tea? Or should I invite you?" Going out to find a place to eat? You are a guest from afar, don't be polite to me."

"You're welcome." Joey nodded vigorously, put his hands in the blue down jacket, and shook his long legs against the sky: "Eat dumplings!"

............................................................

"So, you came here specially to fight with me?!" Sun Yangyang stared at the dumplings on the table.Damn, I knew this person was provocative, so why invite him to dinner?Into the dog's belly!

"PK." In the small private room, Joey nodded seriously: "Brussels, you performed very well, but I checked on the Internet, and the song you sang was not your original. I don't accept it. I asked my manager to contact this TV station to perform. Looking for you to PK."

"Why do I want you to convince me?" Sun Yangyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, reached out to touch the cigarette, and after thinking for a while, motioned to Joey: "One?" This kid is here to beat himself, right?Tomorrow, I will start my vacation for half a month, and then he will show up at this point.

Joey waved his hand: "I don't smoke, you'd better not smoke either, it will damage your vocal cords."

"There is nothing comparable. You sing your song and I play mine," Sun Yangyang was a little irritable, but his good family education made him obediently put down his cigarette: "Can I admit that you are better than me?"

The blue-eyed young man showed a slightly hurt expression, and spread his hands: "Nothing compares, how can you admit defeat, Yang Yang?"

"Don't call me that." Sun Yangyang was on the verge of going crazy: "You are 19 years old, right? I'm 22, called brother!"

"Brother!" The word Joey actually called it in a correct way: "Brother, brother, let's compare each other. I've thought about it. It's a matter of a man's face, so you can't say no, right?" The bad boy blinked, and also I don't know how I learned such a sentence from his Chinese father.

Sun Yangyang is also a vigorous young man, how can he stand up to such a fierce general like him?What's more, if a Yankee ran to the door of the house to fight in the afternoon, if he was guilty, he would be sorry for the Chinese.

"Okay. According to what you said, let the horse come over. How can a brother be afraid of you? Why?"

Joey showed that trademark sunny smile again, which can dazzle people's eyes: "After recording your Spring Festival Gala, let's compare each other every day. Let me tell you first, you prepare seriously. OK?"

............................................................

After listening to the content of the gauntlet, the boys from the Six Happiness Band looked at each other in dismay, feeling a little worried.

Wang Jiji scratched his ears: "I said Yangyang, this kid has no good intentions. Look at the categories he listed. They are not what we are good at, okay?"

Wu Bing was very calm, smoked a cigarette and analyzed clearly: "Joey is not openly provoking, and it's not STONEK playing against Liuxi. He is more like a child. He wants to single out Yangyang, and he loses face. According to me, there is no need Hard bar, isn’t the first item the right instrument? No problem, he’s on bass, let’s play Chinese.”

Several young men looked at each other, almost saying in unison: "Erhu!"

............................................................

"Why are you free to go home today?" Father Sun took off his glasses slowly, wiped them, and then put them on again: "Stop hysterically shouting rock and roll with your friends?"

"What are you talking about?" Sun's mother came out of the kitchen with the dishes: "If you want me to say Sun Daqing, you have to change your pedantic ideas. Now, it's art for you to play the erhu, but it's not art for my son to play rock and band ? Son, ignore this old man, menopause."

"What's the age? My dad is young." Sun Yangyang smiled and leaned over to sit beside Sun's dad: "Dad, I have something to ask."

"The sun is coming out from the west." Father Sun didn't take it seriously: "Say it."

Sun Yangyang pointed to his father's precious erhu in the cabinet by the wall, with a serious expression: "Isn't it a holiday these days? I want to discuss with you about traditional Chinese musical instruments. Last time I talked to Brother Gang The study has benefited a lot, and he said that the concept of music without borders is very good. Next year I want to create a song and add the erhu to it."

Father Sun was dubious: "Are you still my son? Possessed by aliens? Who was forced by me to learn Erhu for nearly ten years, and after graduating from high school, he told me not to touch this crap in his life?"

"It's the real thing, it's still your original son." Sun Yangyang said awkwardly: "Young and frivolous, young and frivolous. There is no limit to learning, hehe..."

Sun's father, Sun Daqing, did not come from a major, but he has been obsessed with erhu for almost half his life, and his proficient skills are simply amazing.That sentence is true at all, the masters are among the people.

Sun Yangyang was coaxed and tricked by his father when he was a child. At the cost of two lollipops, Sun Yangyang nodded and agreed to learn the erhu.Later, when I grew up, the rebelliousness of teenagers soared to the sky. How can I value something like "earthy and boring" erhu?

On the contrary, I really started to play rock and roll, and I came into contact with more bands and independent musicians, and my thinking was no longer so narrow and absolute.Especially those who have been obsessed with music for many years but have never been famous. Many people have their own special skills. When they pass cigarettes together and chat with each other, the resonance is quickly generated.

Sun Yangyang became famous at a young age but was not arrogant or impetuous, which has a lot to do with the touch these people gave him.

There is a musician who came out of the loess high slope of X city, he is almost 40 years old, the vicissitudes and simplicity on his face are more like his own self-deprecating, just a farmer.But he picked up the suona and sang, the kind of things that have been accumulated for a long time, the kind of self-forgetfulness without complaint or regret, the blood boils in the listeners and the eyes are hot.

Not everyone is on this road just for fame and vanity.

Sun Daqing took a sip of Erguotou and smacked his lips in satisfaction: "I told you earlier that China's own soul is no worse than any foreign thing. Just you young people..."

Sun Yangyang and Sun's mother looked at each other, and they both saw smiles in each other's eyes.

"Dad," Sun Yangyang fawned over a piece of steamed fish for his dad: "I want to change the habit and way of playing traditional musical instruments, so don't be angry. Think about it, in today's society, we must keep pace with the times." Is it true? Those traditional Beijing opera, Yue opera, Kunqu opera, things left by the ancestors, are still babbling, how to attract the younger generation? Oh yes! Even our Forbidden City has started to play cultural creation! Those kawaii traditions Characters, exquisite and unique shapes, refreshing ideas. This is not a compromise and bowing to the tide of the economy, this is the true meaning of inheritance!"

Sun Daqing glared at his son angrily: "What to change? How to change it? June [-]th! June [-]th! It's actually the boiled water that Erguotou made?!"

Sun Yangyang laughed out loud, with tears in his eyes: "Dad, you are so funny! I have remembered Zhao Lirong's sketches by Mr. Zhao for so many years. Well, I won't waste words with you, just listen."

The young man took out his mobile phone, skillfully connected it to the Bluetooth speaker at home, and quickly swipe his fingers to find a song in his favorites: "Listen to this first."

What he played was Su Yang's "Official Feng Bi Ma Wen".

"Are you familiar with the main theme of this song? It's the part where Zhu Bajie carries his wife on his back in Journey to the West in [-]. Mr. Xu Jingqing, who composed the music, and Mr. Yan Su, who wrote the lyrics. These two are highly respected by you, right? But listen to this suona ! This re-arranged youth! Listen to the feeling of roaring!"

Sun Daqing didn't say a word, just finished listening to the song with a little wine.

Sun Yangyang looked at his father, and changed to another song by Xie, the father of underground rock.

"Listen to the guzheng in it," Sun Yangyang talked eloquently, his eyebrows beaming, "Do you think it's very interesting to mix it with the rock music you disdain the most? There are also foreign ones." The young man braked Not staying in the car, I quickly changed to DianaBoncheva's BeethovenVirus: "A Bulgarian electronic violinist, Beethoven's Pathos Sonata Chapter 3. The new interpretation of the violin gave it a new life with passion and vitality. How many young people began to pay attention to this piece? Music, start listening to the violin, turn your attention to classical and innovative, try to appreciate it. Isn’t that good?”

Sun Daqing breathed out and waved his hands: "I won't argue with you. If you have the ability, you can also make it up to convince me. That's your talent."

Sun Yangyang smiled slowly, full of confidence: "Dad, just wait, I will definitely hand in a satisfactory answer sheet!"
