Chapter 46 Friendship Years Day

The innocent voices are fading/each other for the goal/gazing at the night sky/who it was in the past/understanding the fatigue in my heart... (Words from: "Friendship Years" Liu Zhuohui)

……………………

After receiving the director's permission, Long Zhongyou said: "But I am a musician. I don't like to sing along with the accompaniment. I like to play by myself. But I am a bass player and I didn't bring a guitar. Do you have a guitar on site?"

Long Zhongyou wanted a guitar because the electric bass was not suitable as an independent accompaniment instrument. The content played by the electric bass usually consisted of grooves and root notes, which alone sounded like a line independent of the main melody.

It is difficult for a person to follow one melody and sing another melody at the same time, not to mention that one of them is played by oneself, in the heart.

Most of the self-playing and singing we see are guitars and pianos, which can play chord progressions. Of course, electric basses usually have four strings and can theoretically play chord progressions like guitars, but electric basses

The amplitude of the sound is too large and too low, so it breaks up the chords when harmonizing, and it is not suitable to play several notes at the same time to form a chord.

Many instruments are well understood. It is normal for Long Zhongyou to be proficient in one instrument and to be able to simply play other instruments. He is a bassist. As mentioned above, the electric bass in the band needs to be connected and integrated with the accompaniment.

melody, harmony, and rhythm, so it is normal, even necessary, for bassists to study guitar and drums at the same time.

Wang Mao Mao knows how to play guitar, so of course he understands this. He hurriedly persuaded Long Zhong: "We have an accompaniment band on the show, but the first two contestants don't need it. They are all in the lounge."

"That's best. You don't need to bother them. Just lend me a guitar..."

When Lu Yuchi, who was sitting in the monitoring room, heard this, he smiled and said to Han Shiqi: "Old Han, I think lending my brother-in-law a guitar is not as good as having a conversation with him. How about you show your skills? Just for fun.

."

Han Shiqi glanced at Lu Yuchi and said, "I'm not used to using other people's equipment, but since I can cooperate with good musicians, I might consider it."

"You can die if you don't pretend?" Lu Yuchi smiled and looked at Han Shiqi who had already stood up and was about to walk out of the monitoring room.

Han Shiqi asked the staff to help him carry two guitars and two sets of effect boxes, and walked onto the stage together.

As the host, Wang Xiaomao first smiled at Han Shiqi, and then briefly introduced Han Shiqi to the audience. The audience responded enthusiastically and shouted loudly. This is natural, because many employees from Han Shiqi's company came to act as the audience.

Long Zhongyou said to Han Shiqi: "Why is it you?"

"Do you know my little brother?" Han Shiqi was polite after knowing Long Zhongyou's identity.

"I've seen your performances before, and your skills are pretty good. That day at the teahouse, Lu Yuchi was the one causing trouble, and he didn't even bother to say hello to you."

"He's just like that, always causing trouble and being out of tune."

Lu Yuchi said in the monitoring room, I asked you to cooperate, but you two will cooperate to harm me? Just saying that this program pursues authenticity, and the image of the producer must also be taken into consideration, right?

Long Zhongyou looked at the two electric guitars and said to Han Shiqi: "You came up and just played a 'rhythm'? That's an understatement."

"It's okay. We haven't rehearsed after all. If we come live, we can just do a simple chord progression. I'll just add some improvised cadenzas (guitar terminology), otherwise it will be messy."

"No, I wanted to just play and sing by myself, but I didn't expect to meet a master. Then I'll just have fun. I'd better play bass." Long Zhongyou asked Wang Xiaomao again, "Hey, you just said you knew how to play an instrument.

, rhythm guitar okay?”

"He is the rhythm guitar." Han Shiqi said first.

"Then we need a drummer. Let's call a drummer to come up..."

Lu Yuchi was in the monitoring room, watching his "younger" Wang MaoMao, Han Shiqi and his brother-in-law Long Zhongyou discussing how to perform together. He smiled happily and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

In fact, this kind of joy and excitement is not unexpected. Earlier, when Wang Maomao and Long Zhongyou were chatting about friendship and the estrangement between friends on the stage, he thought of the situation between himself, Wang Xiaomao and Han Shiqi not long ago.

He said to Director Zhao: "Can you give them more time to rehearse? I think they formed a temporary team to perform a song, and the effect will be good when it is broadcast."

"If it is broadcast like that, it will really become fake. Think about it, if they don't cut it, how many times and how long will they need to rehearse? The duration of the entire program will be difficult to control. If the rehearsal part is cut, the audience will

Do you believe that they have never met before and formed a temporary team to perform?"

Lu Yuchi nodded, feeling that what Director Zhao said was indeed reasonable. What they wanted for this show was "truth."

But Director Zhao said into the conductor's microphone: "How many takes do you need and how long will it take?"

Seeing Lu Yuchi looking at him in confusion, Director Zhao smiled and still turned off the microphone. What he said next was addressed to Lu Yuchi, and he also deliberately said it to everyone present.

"Mr. Lu, what I just said was for the effect of the program, but I also know that you want to give them more time, not for your brother-in-law, Long Zhongyou. Because Mr. Long doesn't need it at all. You want to give them these two

Give your friend more time to show off.

The effect of the program is important, but friendship is more important. Without blood ties, legal involvement and constraints, this is the most real relationship. I appreciate your emphasis on friendship, and I am willing to give them more time. As for the broadcast effect, I will think about it.

Method. How long do you need?"

Wang Mao Mao replied to Director Zhao: "It won't take long, it should only be done once. Let's try it first."

When Wang Mao Mao said this, he naturally knew it well.

Because Long Zhongyou is an excellent bassist and was also the leader when he formed a band in the past. He has sufficient experience in arranging and scheduling. He knows how to get the musicians into a cooperative state as soon as possible for this kind of temporary improvisational performance. He has just talked with Wang

Mao Mao, Han Shiqi and the drummer talked about the songs they wanted to perform, and how they would tell each other when to start and end the ensemble or a certain part.

There are usually only two situations for cooperation between experts: they are incompatible and difficult to complete, or they hit it off and are relaxed and happy.

In terms of playing musical instruments, at least Long Zhongyou and Han Shiqi are both masters. As for the drummer, he is not weak either. Moreover, he had known Long Zhongyou before and had just watched the performance and admired him even more, so everyone communicated happily, and

It went very smoothly.

Generally, when several musicians from the same band want to rehearse or perform a song temporarily, they will choose some songs that the musicians are basically familiar with. For example, domestic beyond songs, the musicians can usually play them, and like famous foreign bands

Classic songs such as "Hotel California" by the Eagles.

But Long Zhongyou wanted to sing this song to his former bandmates, so he needed a specific song. But it didn’t matter. The song he wanted to sing to his teammates was basically familiar to men born in the 1980s.

I like it, it's the theme song "Friendship Years" from "Young and Dangerous".

It was 1996, and all those born in the 1980s were enrolled in school. They had the concept of classmates and a sense of collective gratitude. At that time, most of the people born in the 1980s were in their teens, a stage where they were full of energy but ignorant and naive.

Jianghu movies are inevitably a bit bloody and violent, but this movie also emphasizes compliance with rules and emphasis on loyalty.

That movie influenced a lot of people, and the lyrics were so well written. It was a Cantonese song, but we can feel the emotion between brothers without reading the lyrics. After reading the lyrics, we associate the plot of the movie with many of us who cried.

Yes. Maybe we haven't heard that song again for many years, but we will never forget it.

Han Shiqi's lead guitar sounded, with no other instruments to accompany it, and he made the tone very sad. It was like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, but the lightning did not fall to the ground, and it struck the hearts of many people at the scene.

Many of these people included Zeng Xiaobao, who had just arrived and walked into the control room. He was from Hong Kong and an insider. He must have heard this song before and could at least understand it. He didn’t say much to everyone, even

He didn't sit down, he just stood there and looked at the monitor screen.

After four measures of guitar solo (solo), the guitar did not stop, the bass sneaked in, and after another two measures, the drums and rhythm guitar suddenly sounded violently, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

The disappearing time is scattered in the wind/It seems that I can’t remember to face it again/The wandering days/You are with me/We will meet again if we are destined/

The innocent voices are fading/distance from each other for the goal/staring at the night sky/who it was in the past/understanding the tiredness in my heart...

Even classic old songs that you haven't heard for a long time have such magic power. Suddenly hearing them again one day is like meeting a long-lost old friend by chance.

This old friend has witnessed your purity and kindness, and has accompanied you through sad and happy times. However, various things in reality have caused you to drift apart and eventually no longer contact you. When you face this long-lost friend again

My friend, your soul has been cleansed, but you feel ashamed. Although you feel ashamed, you are not unfamiliar.

The familiar melody is just like the familiar emotion. When I hear it again, my heart is hit. It hurts but is comfortable, and is sour but also memorable. Many past events that I may not be able to think of deliberately flash in my mind in an instant.

Especially the song "Friendship Years" is originally about friendship. Lu Yuchi had closed his eyes tightly at this time, trying his best to control his tear ducts, but he was smiling at the corner of his mouth and listened carefully.

Come and forget what is wrong and right/Come and remember the past/We have been through hard times together and it is always fun/

Don’t believe that you will despair/Don’t feel hesitant/Compete in your dreams/Work hard every day/

In the running wind and rain/Unruly awakening and drunkenness/All the stories seem to have happened/In the wandering years/

The wind has blown and it has calmed down/Who will I return my heart to/Let the tears take away the haggardness of the night...

Most men in their thirties are already married and have children. They feel the pressure and responsibility of being a parent. They can work hard on their own even if they are not busy at work. However, their parents are getting older and they have more things to do that require their children’s help.

, as men who have reached their thirties, they are even more responsible.

So whether it’s work or family, more and more things are happening, leaving us with less and less time. We can’t put aside work, and we can’t let go of family. Where are our buddies who used to cry and laugh together? What are they busy with?

?Even if we haven’t lost contact, I’m afraid we only get together occasionally, just occasionally...

After Long Zhongyou sang a song, needless to say, there was applause. Many people present cried.

Yang Mi had been looking at Wang Mao Mao. Although Wang Mao Mao was the lowest among the four musicians on the stage, this was not important to Yang Mi. What was important was that she saw Wang Mao Mao playing the piano for the first time.

As she listened, she was gradually moved by the song.

Yes, who hasn’t experienced several friendship years?

The applause lasted for a long time. In fact, their performance did not achieve the best effect. They are not gods, and this is not filming. No matter how high the level is, they are still playing in an ensemble. As they made a temporary decision and started performing immediately, the drums and rhythm guitar could only

Only by being regular can we ensure the smoothness of the ensemble, so there is nothing outstanding about it.
