Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The entire lawn became a sea of ​​carnival. At eight o'clock, the Huabangzi Band came on stage to sing. Lu Ping was seen wearing a denim vest full of iron nails. Amidst the roar of the instruments, he held the microphone and sang their famous song hoarsely. .

"Swinging with Youth"

gradually disappear

Sing to immortality

Amplifier without speakers

A six string in the octave

loneliness, sadness

Rock and roll with dreams

Pierce the haze and scream with erection

flamboyant in roar

Off the stage, countless men and women jumped and roared to the rhythm of the music. The girl in the audience screamed: "Lu Ping, I love you! I want to marry you! I want to give birth to a monkey for you."

Yu Dongqing and the others had no performance duties today, so they stood below with beer cans and watched the performance.

Of course, when they reach middle age, they cannot be as wild as young people, they just sway gently to the rhythm.

Also, looking at those crazy girls, Yu Dongqing felt funny in her heart.

I guess you don't have a chance to come. Lu Ping got married last year and found a girl who loves her.

The audience in the audience became more and more excited, and the "Pogo" commonly seen at rock music festivals began to appear.

Shake your head, pull a hoop, drive a train, and dive.

Yu Dongqing and the others hurriedly stepped back, looking at the crazy scenes. Some scenes were still very dangerous. Yu Dongqing heard a girl screaming, so she probably didn't protect her friends well.

However, there is no one here that Yu Dongqing wants to protect.

The girl he once protected is now living a peaceful life in Chengdu, as if she has become a person in two different worlds.

And Luo Yun seemed to disappear into the vast sea of ​​people.

This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss.

Yu Dongqing felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she picked up the beer can and took a big sip.

The evening show of the music festival lasted until 11:30, then started again at 12 noon the next day and lasted until 5 pm. At 7 pm, the concert started again.

Famous domestic bands take turns to perform, with exciting performances, rock/rap/folk/electronic, familiar or cutting-edge music.

Yu Dongqing's Qingmanglu Band performed on stage at eight o'clock in the evening. Unlike other bands who wore jeans or studded punk styles, Yu Dongqing and the others wore casual suits. They were all very gentlemen, with flamboyant and shiny hair combed neatly. .

Yu Dongqing wore a black suit with a white shirt underneath, and stood in front of the microphone with an acoustic guitar.

Soon there was a tsunami of cheers from the audience.

"Qingmangli, brother-in-law!"

"Qingmangli, brother-in-law!"

Zhang Leilei stood in the audience and clapped her hands excitedly.

Wow, so handsome!

She rarely saw Yu Dongqing perform on stage. The usually gentle-looking uncle now exuded a unique demeanor as soon as he stood on stage.

Is this what a celebrity looks like?

Zhang Shuchun stood next to his daughter. Of course, he would not be as excited as her daughter.

To be honest, he is not interested in music festivals. He came here mainly to accompany his daughter and protect her. The large Pogo like last night had already kept his daughter far away.

I don’t have any interest in rock rap or anything like that. Maybe it’s because I was at that age when I was easily excited?

But I am still more interested in the songs sung by Yu Dongqing.

He sang the songs of his peers.

The music started playing on the stage, the first song "Love Song 1980"

you once said to me

you love me forever

I understand love

But it's always what it is.

As soon as Yu Dongqing started, the chorus immediately started.

Girl, don't cry

We are still together

Today's joy will be

Tomorrow's eternal memories

A wry smile appeared on Yu Dongqing's face. How could he hold a concert with the empty Wu Bai? From the beginning, he didn't need to speak again. It was like a karaoke chorus with thousands of people.

"Old Boy", "Beijing, Beijing", "Beside the Plum", these are all old songs sung by the Qingmanglu Band. Fans are already familiar with them and sing along.

According to the content of the program, the Qingmanglu Band sang a total of five songs, and the last one was a new song.

Every time the Qingmanglu Band performs, it seems to be a routine to sing a new song.

What do you think of this song today?

The audience in the audience fell silent.

Yu Dongqing said into the microphone: "Now, we will bring you a song called "Advanced Animals". Thank you."

It started with a heavy bass, accompanied by rhythmic drums, and Yu Dongqing's slightly hoarse and low voice sounded throughout the scene.

Contradiction, hypocrisy, greed, deception

Fantasy, doubt, simple and fickle

So strong, helpless, lonely and fragile

Tolerance, anger, complexity, disgust

What song is this?

The scene was quiet, watching Yu Dongqing reciting like a Buddha on the stage. Lines of lyrics flashed on the huge screen next to the stage:

Jealousy, insidiousness, fighting and complaining

Selfish, boring and perverted adventure

Lustful, kind, philanthropic and sophistry

Oh my god advanced animals

Heaven and hell are all in this world

It turns out that time and space is Dou Wei's "Advanced Animals".

Just as everyone was listening in stunned silence, the scene changed and Yu Dongqing suddenly sang softly following the music.

Where is the happiness

Where is the happiness

During the singing, the music gradually disappeared, and Yu Dongqing bowed to express his thanks.

The band's performance is over.

The whole place was still calm, but suddenly applause came from nowhere, and then the applause rain became louder and louder, like thunder.

Zhang Leilei stared at all this blankly, and she couldn't help but ask Zhang Shuchun next to her in a low voice.

"Dad, tell me, is Uncle Yu singing a song?"

Zhang Shuchun didn't know much about music. He squinted at the lines of lyrics and smiled.

“I don’t know if it’s a song or not, but it’s definitely about humanity.”

The last song "Advanced Animals" sung by Qingmang Lu Band quickly became a hot topic, causing huge controversy both in person and online.

People who like to listen say that this song is unconventional in terms of lyrics and arrangement. It only uses this chant-like method to maximize the tonal charm of Chinese characters.

Critics say that this song is purely nonsense, and that the way the song is expressed is too concrete and opportunistic.

The two sides started a war of words and argued endlessly.

Finally, music critic Huang Zhengkai wrote a relatively pertinent comment on his Weibo.

""Advanced Animals" starts with a heavy bass. There is basically no melody in the verses. Instead, the melody is put into the drums and the drum beats are aggravated. The rough guitar creates a cold and arrogant atmosphere. Although there are not many notes, it makes people feel like a bomber. It's like whistling, and you can feel the distortion and jolt of your spirit."

"Each era has its own different symptoms. In the final analysis, humans are animals. They are not necessarily advanced. They just have more desires."

"I once heard that a photographer was feeding a Tibetan antelope water, but the police accompanying him drove the Tibetan antelope away. The photographer asked why, and the policeman said, otherwise it would think humans are kind."

Yu Dongqing did not see this music review. At this time, they had already left Yinchuan and drove the RV eastward towards Qinbei.

They are going to meet their old friend Feng Pei.
