Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"What is there to see in the City Gate Cave?" Yu Hongguang asked in confusion.

"There are singing performances there."

Yu Dongqing remembered that in the original time and space, the wild singers on the streets of Xi'an were no longer the one person or Qin Opera self-music group in his memory, but were replaced by various bands or music organizations.

When a few people with guitars, African drums, and stereos come to the South Gate, there is no doubt that they will attract the cheers of countless passers-by in various city wall door openings in the early morning.

In Wenchangmen, there is a band that became popular with a song "Internationale" on Station B. It is said that this video on Station B has more than 3 million views, more than 200,000 likes, 70,000 collections, and 30,000 forwards. There are many, and it once ranked third on the entire site. This may be the most high-profile amateur homemade video related to Xi'an on Station B.

The second most clicked video is called "Exploded \u003cSocialism is Good\u003e, Red Rock Sings Wenchangmen" with more than 800,000 views, followed closely by "War Hymn of the Chinese People's Volunteers".

Some people followed Bilibili or Douyin to the streets of Xi'an and stood in the cold wind waiting for the show to start.

What would these street singers sing in this time and space?

Yu Dongqing didn't know, but there must be someone singing there.

Sure enough, before Yu Dongqing got closer, she heard passionate singing from a distance:

A slave who wakes up hungry and cold

Rise up for those suffering all over the world

The blood in my heart is already boiling

fight for truth

Yu Dongqing had a smile on her face.

Young people in this time and space also like to sing this song, and it is still so popular. It is a pity that there is no version by the Tang Dynasty band, otherwise it would sound more exciting.

The two walked over and saw that many people had gathered around Wenchang Gate, most of them were young people, and there were also middle-aged uncles like him who were born in the 1980s. They were singing together in a band, which was deafening.

There was also a tricycle selling candied haws on a stick parked outside the crowd. The owner didn't know where he had gone.

A girl shouted: "Boss, buy a candied haws a stick." Immediately, a middle-aged man emerged from the crowd of crazy spectators, sold the girl a candied haws a stick, and hurried back to shout along with the music.

There is also a man driving a BMW. The car is parked nearby. He rolls down the window and is watching the performing band, humming along. There is also a charming girl sitting in the passenger seat next to him, looking at all this with some amusement. At a loss.

"What kind of song is this? Why does it sound more energetic than the old tune?" Yu Hongguang also asked curiously.

"This is called The Internationale, and it is the war song of the proletariat around the world." Yu Dongqing answered with the standard answer in the textbook.

oh.

Yu Hongguang looked at these crazy young people and fell into deep thought.

Yu Dongqing did not join in the chorus, but just watched from the side.

When I was young, I heard the Tang Dynasty band singing the Internationale and the song "Nothing", which made my blood boil. At that time, I really felt like I wanted to smash all the old world.

Now, all that's left is drinking tea or soaking wolfberry in a thermos cup.

"Are you brother-in-law? Yu Dongqing?" Suddenly a girl's voice awakened Yu Dongqing from his wild thoughts. He didn't know when a young couple stood in front of him, looking at him.

"Who are you?"

Yu Dongqing was sure that she had never met this couple. Although the songs she wrote and sang have become popular, she rarely appeared on TV or online videos. Even the few songs that Meimei released on station B were just sounds. With animation.

How do you know this girl?

But something the girl said dispelled his doubts: "This summer, we went to Zhangjiakou to attend the Midi Music Festival and saw you and your band singing. I especially liked the song "Love Song 1990" sung by you. 》”

"And the song "Story of Time" that was just released." His boyfriend next to him quickly added.

It turns out that I met my own fans.

Yu Dongqing expressed her gratitude and naturally complied with the fans' request and took photos.

"Teacher Yu, aren't you going to sing a song?" the girl asked again.

"No, I just passed by and listened. They sang very well." Yu Dongqing declined.

"How about that? I came to Xi'an and I have to sing. There are many fans of yours in Xi'an." The girl was very enthusiastic and squeezed into the crowd. She whispered a few words to the musician, who nodded. , after the song was sung, he immediately said loudly: "Now we invite our folk master brother-in-law, Mr. Yu Dongqing, to sing for everyone!"

The crowd immediately burst into applause.

When did I become a folk god?

And the title of this brother-in-law

Yu Dongqing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He had no choice but to walk in and tell everyone that he and his third uncle had come to Xi'an to do some errands today. They had nothing to do and wandered here in the evening. Since everyone asked me to sing, I would sing the song "Story of Time".

After saying that, he picked up his folk guitar and began to sing softly.

After singing "Story of Time", I naturally received warm applause.

"Brother-in-law, let's play "Love Song 1990" again"

"Young Jinshi!"

Someone from the surrounding crowd shouted.

However, Yu Dongqing saw her third uncle Yu Hongguang standing at the edge and looked around. Her heart moved and she went over to pull him in.

Then he said with a smile to everyone: "I sing folk songs, which is a bit out of tune with the current atmosphere. Now I recommend to everyone a rock singer from Lao Qin - Huayin Laoqiang, my third uncle Yu Hongguang! He not long ago I also sang the theme song of "Martial Arts Heroes" - "Men Should Be Strong"!"

Many young people have not watched the TV series "Martial Arts Heroes", but almost all of them have heard of the impassioned song "Men Should Be Strong".

When I found out that the person who sang this song turned out to be this old man with an unattractive appearance years ago, and he also sang the old Huayin tune, I immediately became interested and asked him to sing. The band also enthusiastically said, "Uncle, you can sing and we will provide you with the accompaniment."

Now that Yu Hongguang has the courage, he is not polite. He drank a few drinks during the meal just now and was about to yell.

After saying a few polite words, he took the microphone from Yu Dongqing's hand. After the greeting was completed, he raised his voice and shouted:

As soon as this voice roared, the scene immediately became heated again.

Yu Dongqing retreated to the side and listened quietly.

I found that Uncle San was becoming more and more proficient in mastering this song, and his temperament was comparable to that of Lin Zixiang in that time and space.

If you can speak Cantonese, you must let him sing the song "Ten Inches and Twelve Minutes"! Let this once-over experience be enough.

Yu Dongqing was thinking wildly when his eyes suddenly fell on an ordinary middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket outside.

He was wearing glasses, with a side parted hair, a black briefcase tucked into the creak, and he was humming softly to the rhythm.

It's him!

Yu Dongqing recognized it as Feng Pei, his college classmate.
