Journey to the Stars

After all aspects were ready, the hostess made her grand debut under the background of the magnificent stage effect.

In order to save time, Xie Junfeng, Gao Jieliang and Fu Xuanye also came to the stage to adjust the instruments in advance. The handsome appearance of the three sons caused a little commotion in the audience.

Xie Junfeng is the lead guitarist, Gao Jieliang is the drummer, and Fu Xuanye is the bassist.

The small auditorium was full, but because most of the audience were freshmen, the hostess prepared a string to introduce the band.

"Dear teachers and students, good evening everyone! Before the official performance of our Blue Wing Drama Club, it is a great honor to invite a popular band from our school to help. They are the sunshine standing behind me Handsome boys! Not only did they play music together in college, the most rare thing is that they also lived in the same dormitory. So their band name is - Dromband, the Chinese name is the dormitory band, and some people call them For D4!"

During the introduction, the hostess heard the noise coming from the backstage, and the three sons also looked over...

If you want to blame it, you can blame Ni Jianjing for being like a persevering old turtle, once bitten to death, you can't get rid of it.He yelled at a few followers in the background: "This man dressed as a lion runs away when he sees me. He must be weird. Catch me!"

The actors in the backstage were busy with makeup and rehearsals, but someone was here chasing each other, jumping up and down, watching the scene become a mess.

The head of the Student Logistics Department, who was in charge of maintaining order, led people forward to obstruct it. Xing Yi, who was wearing a puppet costume, hid behind the head and kicked Ni Jianjing when he saw the opportunity.Ni Jianjing was not a fuel-efficient lamp either, and pushed the emaciated minister to the ground.

It's really you, Xing Yi, who was forced to retreat, cursed secretly, and had no choice but to walk towards the stage, the only exit behind him.

The moment Xing Yi stepped out of the stage, the spotlight hit him precisely.

"Wow—"

There was another small commotion in the audience.

"Excuse me... is it the lead singer?" the hostess asked tentatively.

The three sons also stared at this "lion man" who appeared out of nowhere, and saw the oversized headgear pointing up and down, and then shaking it from side to side.

What does this mean?The hostess is anxious, but she has heard that the lead singer of the band has always acted strangely and has her own way, so it is reasonable to deliberately dress up like this to surprise everyone, right?

"Just now... I mentioned that our band members are affectionately called D4 by everyone. Why is it D4? Because there are actually four members in the band, but the lead singer graduated last year to work. And for the Blue Wing Drama Club In order to love each of their classmates, he promised to come back and sing a song no matter what! So...you are the lead singer, right?"

The hostess introduced the dormitory band at once, and incidentally kicked the ball to the "lion" who became the focus of the stage.Her first task is not to let the whole field cool down, and she doesn't care so much about other things.

At this moment, Xingyi's mind was confused and he was in a dilemma.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the exit of the backstage. The head of the logistics department reluctantly held Ni Jianjing who was gnashing his teeth. It would be terrible if a few more ran out.There were another pair of expectant eyes from the audience, and he didn't hear the origin of the band next to him.

Gao Jieliang winked at Xie Junfeng, and said: Didn't he say he was still stuck in traffic?

Fu Xuanye also frowned slightly, thinking that the matter was very suspicious.

Xie Junfeng thought for a moment, and played a series of clear voices on the guitar.The meaning is very clear, whether it is me or not, you will know once you try it.

It seems that their bands are no longer limited to the "ordinary" expression of language to communicate, but the hostess obviously misunderstood. She thought that Xie Junfeng's plucking was because he recognized the "lion man" as the lead singer, and was giving to the other party. respond.

"If that's the case, let's hand over the stage to Dormband and bring us the adaptation of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"!" After the hostess said, everyone applauded enthusiastically.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a widely circulated classic handed down in the 20th century, and it is also one of Queen's most influential works on the music scene.

This is a magical song, which lasts nearly 6 minutes, but has almost no repeated arias. It combines singing, opera, heavy metal rock and other styles with great differences. It is unconstrained and absurd.

It's quite a good sound...and it's also quite a challenge!

In order to sing this song well, it is necessary to go through countless grinding sessions among the members.Xing Yi finally understood, no wonder these three people are so calm, they just want to use this song to test him, if he is a fake, he will sing badly and make a fool of himself in public.

Since there is no other way, then bite the bullet and fight to the death.

Xingyi approached the wheat stand, constantly adjusting his breath, like a martial arts master holding back a big move.It is true to say that it is a big move. Martial arts practice pays attention to the gathering of Qi in the dantian, and singing also emphasizes that "Qi is the foundation of sound" and "Qi is the master of sound".

At the beginning of the song, there is a multi-person harmony, and Sanzi also acts as an accompaniment singer while playing.Xingyi listened carefully to the melody and beat, five, four, three, two, one, start...

(Mom, woo woo woo...)

(I don't want to end)

IsometimeswishI'dneverbeenbornatall

(Sometimes I wish I had never been born)

The whole song can be divided into four parts (it is also said to be divided into six parts), the first part is in a slow lyrical rhythm, telling the story of a poor poor boy who shot and killed a person (Xing Yi is more inclined to say suicide) , and then left an affectionate confession of repentance and reluctance to his mother, suppressing endless pain and encouraging his loved ones to work hard to live.This made Xingyi miss his mother who left him. What kind of life has she been living abroad for more than ten years, and did she miss herself for a moment?The "Mama" in the first sentence, Xingyi used a slightly crying voice, which instantly caught everyone's emotions.

Gao Jieliang and Fu Xuanye could distinguish the authenticity from the sound as soon as they heard the sound. The anger in their hearts could not be suppressed and they wanted to stop the performance, but Xie Junfeng dismissed it with his eyes. Let's see what tricks this faker is trying to do.

In the second part, it is about the poor boy being judged by the court of heaven and hell to decide where he should be sent.This part of the music uses the duet of opera arias and chorus to create this atmosphere of collision between reality and fantasy, and the rhythm gradually becomes exciting.The lights on the stage also dimmed along with the music, flickering occasionally, and the smoke machine on the side stage sprayed out a lot of thick smoke at the same time.

(The devil left a devil's place for me, for me, for me)

Ni Jianjing thought the opportunity had come.Taking advantage of the darkness on the stage, they immediately rushed out to take Xing Yi away.Xing Yi felt that someone was going to take off his hands, someone was going to lift his legs, and his head was being hooped, as if his body was torn apart on the spot.He had to find a way to break free, but also held the microphone firmly to sing along, which was even more thrilling than the dispute scene between the messengers of heaven and the messengers of hell in the song.

Drummer Gao Jieliang thumped the drum kit, and the lights came on within a second.

Now it was the audience's turn to be dumbfounded. Ni Jianjing and three attendants were frozen there, but they couldn't catch them, so they only took off Xingyi's lion headgear.Xing Yi, who showed his true face, also paused for two seconds, but he who had already immersed himself in the world of songs couldn't help but continued to sing:

Soyouthinkyoucanstonemeandspitinmyeyes

(Do you think you can stone me, spit on me)

Soyouthinkyoucanlovemeandleavemetodie

(Do you think you can hold me in the palm of your hand and smash me into pieces)

Oh Baby, Can't do this to me baby

(Oh baby, you can't do this to me)

Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

(I just want to leave, I just want to get out of here right now)

The third part is a hearty heavy metal singing, expressing the catharsis of extreme anger in the heart.The poor boy is not a body to be dominated by others, and neither is he Qian Xingyi. Just like the last sentence of the lyrics, they all just want to leave, just want to leave here immediately!

The head of the logistics department couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered several security guards to forcibly arrest the troublemaker Ni Jianjing and others, and lock them in the security room first before punishing them.However, the audience thought that this was a deliberately arranged performance to strengthen the emotion of resistance, and they were quite amazed and applauded.

When Xingyi sang to forget his form, he subconsciously went to Gao Jieliang and wanted to interact with him, but the other party glared angrily and wanted to swallow him alive.Xing Yi woke up, lowered his head and fixed at the front of the stage in despair, singing the last part without moving.

Nothing really matters

(everything is fine)

Anyone can see

(lovers can meet again)

Nothingreallymatters, nothingreallymatterstome

(I really don't care anymore)

Anyway the wind blows

(No matter how things change)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

After returning to 502 and washing his face several times, Xingyi's heart was still unable to calm down for a long time.At this time, someone came to open the door of the dormitory, and then heard three times in unison: "Cenah!" ! ! ! ! !

"There are no surprises in the world" turns out to be an old saying that is not afraid of losing your teeth.

The four of them sat in a corner, staring at each other silently.

"Eh...that..." Xingyi tried to open up the chatterbox, since he wanted to start a new life, he had to change his previous aloof personality.What's more, taking a step back, he also has a role in choosing this dormitory, and he may live under the same roof with these third-year students for the next two years of college, so he should try his best to build a good relationship. "That... um... everyone... haven't eaten yet..."

Bi Zhen wished to slap himself twice, using the Shanghainese he had just learned to describe it as "brain watts", shouldn't the correct line be "how about we both introduce ourselves to each other"!It's just that he has been running around for most of the day, and fell asleep at noon, and now there is nothing for dinner.Just when Xing Yi was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into the guitar box, the others cooperated with the vibrations of "gurg gurg gurg" from their stomachs.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha." Gao Jieliang, a 1.9-meter-tall man with an afro, was the first to laugh heartily.The laughter was like water hitting three thousand miles, and the one who swung upwards ninety thousand miles, and the one who went to breathe in June, and then said, "Master, I am about to starve to death!"

Hitting right and wrong, the atmosphere eased up a bit.

"Speaking of which, after the end, I was pestered by sophomores and juniors asking if there was a new lead singer, which made us afraid to go to the celebration banquet. Wehaven'thaddinneryet. (We haven't had dinner yet)" Fu Xuanye from Shanghai Local, interestingly enough, lived in Toronto for a long time as a kid.He dresses like a boy from a foreign country, and he is used to speaking with some foreign words.Her permed flaxen hair was casually tied into a ponytail, like a supermodel coming out of a fashion party.

"Newborn, did you bring any special products from your hometown?" Xie Junfeng's bangs drooped straight on his forehead, giving people a cool feeling.

Xingyi took out a few packs of puffed potato chips from his backpack: "I only have Shanghaojia..."

Everyone looked at each other for a few moments, and instantly snatched it up like a hungry wolf...

It seems that Shanghaojia is also a brand of a Shanghai company. What kind of "special product" is this?But that's all, at least temporarily let the stomach no longer feel awkward.

"You sang very well tonight!" Xie Junfeng said suddenly.He doesn't look like someone who is easily bought by food, so what he's saying... the truth?

"You slipped away after singing, and we are still trying to find you." Xie Junfeng added, if he hadn't sung so well, he would have been exposed long ago.

""Bohemian Rhapsody" is a very deep song, and my performance is actually quite flawed." For Xing Yi, who loves music, he feels guilty for failing to live up to the classic golden song.

"This song itself is very difficult, not to mention you haven't rehearsed it!" Gao Jieliang also opened the last bag of potato chips, and said that he was annoyed when he saw this kind of packaging bag.What a freak, there are so many disgusts for giving you delicious food.But my intuition shows that he is definitely someone who can be bought with food.

"Well... madman, Gao, our band really needs new blood, what do you think?" Fu Xuanye had just finished speaking, and the eyes of the three sons fell on Xingyi at the same time, but Xingyi's silence made the atmosphere fall into absolutes again. zero degrees.

Form a band, isn't it a joke?

"Of course, if it's going to work, you'll know if you bring your guitar tomorrow and try it out with us." Xie Junfeng's expression became serious, "Since our band is called Dormband, either you get out of the dormitory, or take out your strength."

"Where are you going?" Xing Yi asked.

"I'll tell you tomorrow." Xie Junfeng put it off.

"No problem!" Xingyi's answer was firm and crisp.

After the lights in the dormitory were turned off, Xingyi lay on the bed and tossed and turned.A text message came from the mobile phone, asking in a few words: Brother, is everything okay?He thought about it, and then typed a reply: Well!

In fact, "good" is the right thing to do.

The first day of college is exhausting enough, I hope the rest of the day will be better...

The author has something to say: Remarks——

[The brain is broken]: In Shanghai dialect, it means that the brain is broken, with a joking element.
