Chapter 571 What is helplessness?
The most helpless thing is that I clearly like something and am willing to make any effort for it, but I also clearly know that this kind of pursuit is meaningless and difficult to succeed.

"In Japan, you can have pure music masters like Kitaro, and in our country you can have a Kinoro Jelly Master."
Liu Yaping was amused by Han Shiqi's words. Although she had consulted a lot of related information about folk art and rock music in order to visit Wang Xiaomao and Han Shiqi this time, she still didn't know about unpopular musicians like Kitaro. But when Han Shiqi said this, she thought that he must be a very excellent musician, and at least she knew what Kitaro was.
Han Shiqi used two names with one word difference - or two people and things in different fields with such a big gap - as a joke, which seemed to her a really high-level humor.
Actually, this is not a high-level humor?
This is how people in Tianjin speak.
Seeing that Liu Yaping did not interrupt, Han Shiqi smiled and listened quietly. He became interested, so he continued: "The soil is not good, and it is difficult to survive. This has caused conflicts between the musicians of a band, between the inside and the outside world.
It’s hard to live, so it’s impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. Different people may have different choices. Some people simply quit, some people want to play more commercial music, but some people just stick to their dreams and pursuits. Who is wrong? They are all right, but they just can’t be together.
Or they have developed well, signed a company, released an album, and gained a certain reputation, but there are still problems. Because the soil here is to focus on singers. After becoming famous and making some money, singers may feel unbalanced and have conflicts.
Because everyone is here to see him, everyone may not even know the names of other musicians, so they may be inflamed. However, if they earn money from the band members, they may have an unbalanced mentality.
Moreover, this soil and this phenomenon also determine the attitude of the company they signed. Since everyone comes to the lead singer and the company only needs to raise one person, why should we keep the whole band?
Therefore, there are unstable factors inside and outside, and the band is difficult to survive in this musical soil in our country. Of course, I want to play the band, otherwise why should I practice the piano so hard? But there is no way.
I can tolerate that I can give everything for my dream - even though the probability of success is very low. But I can't let my band members accompany me to bear this probability, and I don't want to do this. I'm too selfish. So if I want to leave, I can't stop them, but it's a very sad thing after all, so I'll just stop them."
After hearing this, Liu Yaping, who was amused by Han Shiqi just now, felt a little distressed. She sighed and said, "I - I can understand. It is true that many times, many things are very helpless. What is helpless? There are many helplessness. The most helpless thing is that she clearly likes something and is willing to make any effort for it, but she also knows that this kind of pursuit is meaningless and difficult to succeed."
"Well, cultural people are different, it's really good."
"Haha, what kind of cultural people are, actually, just like you, it is easier for people to understand and empathize. What I said may sound like that, but it is actually a little empty." Liu Yaping should not be a compliment, because when she said that her words were a little empty, she did have a little shyness on her face. This shyness was obviously not done on purpose, because she then started another topic, as if to relieve the embarrassment, "Can I understand that when you are an anchor, you are not playing electric guitar because of the problem of live broadcasting "soil"?"
"Of course..." Han Shiqi said again. He used to play high-level electric guitar in his live broadcast room, but no one watched it.
Let’s look at Lulugou in the live broadcast room “next door”, twisting her butt, how many people watch it every day, how much money it makes? It’s just the male anchors who don’t even sing well, tell pornographic jokes all day long, and make fun of them with female anchors on a large scale, and just a group of people like it.
Then why is Han Shiqi working on electric guitar? He held the ukulele and occasionally slapped the players a few times, flattered the players, said something unreasonable, and asked the female anchor to connect to the microphone for no reason, and proposed to make some big-scale games that may not be elegant, so that the female anchor would twist it, but he made money, which was a great thing.
Yes, okay, but it is also a helpless move.
Wang Xiaomao watched from the side and listened, and also had a deep understanding.
Does Wang Xiaomao have no dreams? Who has no dreams? But people don’t live in dreams.
Although more people in reality have various dreams, they live like a machine with programs set by others.
When we go to work, get off work, wife (husband), children, buy cars, and houses, the elderly on both sides need to be taken care of, and their own loans need to be repaid. For these words that cannot even be related to dreams, we, as "machines", have worked hard for decades according to the "degree" that has been set long ago.
If we have to say what is the difference between us and machines, then when we look back and think about our dream of giving up because of helplessness, we will be sad and may even cry.
Wang Xiaomao listened to Han Shiqi and Liu Yaping saying that it was about music, but it was actually about helpless dialogue. In addition, Han Shiqi mentioned the G3 concert and pure music before, and he suddenly remembered the pure music "The g mae" by Steve Vai, who is known as the god of modern guitar. Yes, the title of this song is exactly "Crying Machine". He thought of this song, and believed that Han Shiqi and other professional rock musicians will be more familiar with this song and more profound...
Sure enough, at the end of the interview, Liu Yaping hoped that Han Shiqi and the others would play a complete song, and they played this song "The g mae".
In the extremely rhythmic atmosphere created by the keyboard and drums, the electric guitar in Han Shiqi's hand is like crying and complaining, and it is more like a roar. The SLAP (tap string) technique in Long Zhongyou's hand sets the rhythm and creates a full sense of mechanicality. The exaggerated wow effect performance of the electric guitar behind is the essence of this song.
Crying - can be low or high-pitched, and it should be intertwined. Lowness means forbearance, high-pitch means anger. Forbearance and anger are constantly interspersed and replaced, which is helpless.
Wang Xiaomao admired the helplessness of several excellent musicians using their extraordinary skills, and he thought a lot.
I want to give the audience some high-level things, but the audience doesn't like them at all. The same is true for music and literature, and so are too many fields. Artists pursue these fields themselves, but they are not popular - if they pursue it, they are worthless, and they often give up halfway. When they become popular, a piece of shit is popular, but they have the opportunity to bring more to the audience...
