Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Holly, where are you? There's something urgent!" Zhang Yang said on the phone.

"What happened?" Yu Dongqing's heart tightened.

"The organizing committee of the music festival also asked us to participate in the performance!"

"What?" Yu Dongqing was surprised.

On the phone, Zhang Yang told the whole story.

It turns out that there was a folk band called Shanren at the music festival that was supposed to perform that night, but the lead singer had a stomachache last night and was still in the hospital on an intravenous drip and had to announce his withdrawal.

This has made the music festival organizing committee anxious. They have all arranged their programs, but what if something unexpected happens suddenly?

Should we let other bands sing more songs?

During the tense coordination, Lu Ping, the lead singer of Huabangzi Band, was familiar with the people in the organizing committee, so he recommended Yu Dongqing and others to come to the rescue temporarily.

The organizing committee was dubious and decided to let them come over at noon to try out the singing.

So Lu Ping found Zhang Yang and the others and told them what happened. Zhang Yang and the others were naturally happy. It felt good to have fun at the music festival.

However, the band's lead singer Yu Dongqing was not present, so Zhang Yang quickly called Yu Dongqing to come back to discuss.

That's right

Hearing Zhang Yang's excited voice, Yu Dongqing knew that he was very enthusiastic about this, and he didn't want to pour cold water on him, so he just said that we are still in the library and will come down immediately.

"Uncle, are you going to sing on stage?" Chen Guoguo stood aside, and she could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

Yu Dongqing nodded.

"That's great, uncle, I must give you a good compliment!" Chen Guoguo jumped up excitedly.

"Shhh, be gentle, this is the library!" Yu Dongqing quickly warned. Sure enough, the people who were reading nearby raised their heads and looked at them very dissatisfied.

Chen Guoguo quickly fell silent, but took Yu Dongqing's hand and ran towards the library door.

As soon as she left the library door, she said loudly: "Let's go down the mountain quickly. Today is the last day of the music festival. I want to be crazy."

"It's okay to be crazy, just don't go crazy." Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"No. I'm going crazy!"

Ah?

Yu Dongqing looked at her in surprise.

"Because, after the music festival is over, I'm going back to Chengdu to be my good girl. So, I'm going crazy!"

After Chen Guoguo finished speaking, she shook Yu Dongqing's arm: "Uncle, can you go crazy with me?"

I'm dizzy

Before Yu Dongqing could say anything, Chen Guoguo grabbed her arm and ran down.

"You have to drink and sing during the day, so that you can go back to your hometown with your youth."

Yu Dongqing also ran outside with the girl.

Suddenly, he felt much younger.

After taking the cable car to the bottom of the mountain and then driving straight to Chongli, Yu Dongqing met Zhang Yang and Lu Ping in the office of the organizing committee not far from Fengqing Street.

The person in charge of the organizing committee is Wang Wenming. He is a man about forty years old. He must have listened to the introductions of Zhang Yang and Lu Ping. When he saw Yu Dongqing coming, he smiled and shook hands with each other.

"Mr. Yu, I really didn't expect that those two "Love Songs" were both composed by you. It's amazing! It's amazing!"

"And the song "Learning to Meow", Zhang Yang actually teased.

"Haha." Everyone couldn't help laughing.

These guys are all about rock and roll ballads, and they don’t like pop songs from the bottom of their hearts, let alone saliva songs?

Yu Dongqing couldn't help but glare at him.

This guy really doesn't care about anything. It seems that in the eyes of this group of people, this has become his own dark history.

Just kidding of course.

"Let's do this. Let's eat first. After the meal is over, you can try singing to see how it feels?" Wang Wenming suggested.

Although this Yu Dongqing wrote good songs, they are an amateur band after all, and the effect of the performance depends on the situation at the venue.

"No problem, I'll treat you later." Zhang Yang said immediately.

"Hey, Zhang Yang, it was you who invited me last time. It's my turn this time." Lu Ping was unhappy when he heard this. "Let's go, buddies here, let's go eat together!"

Since it was noon now, everyone had something to do in the afternoon, and Yu Dongqing and the others still had to practice, so they simply cooked a few dishes for lunch and drank some beer without daring to drink. This made Lu Ping very unhappy and said that he wanted to go back to Yan Someday after Beijing, we buddies will have a few drinks together.

The rehearsal was held in the open space in the backyard of the organizing committee. Yu Dongqing and the others did not bring any instruments, so Lu Ping volunteered and said that they would use their band's instruments, which were drums, bass, keyboards, etc.

Yu Dongqing took the electric guitar and played it a few times. He suddenly felt that the electric guitar was not as good as the folk guitar in playing these two songs.

When Wang Wenming was about to help him find an acoustic guitar, Chen Guoguo, who had been following them, suddenly said, "Uncle, I have an acoustic guitar. Give me the key and I'll get it from the car!"

After saying that, he grabbed Yu Dongqing's car keys and ran towards the parking lot. Within a few minutes, he came over panting and carrying a guitar on his back.

"Uncle, can you see if it's OK? It's still brand new." Chen Guoguo said and handed the guitar to Yu Dongqing.

Yu Dongqing took the guitar and played a few notes, and he concluded that it was just a beginner guitar for amateurs.

Based on visual inspection of the quality, the price will not exceed 2,000 yuan, which is far different from his American-made Martin D41 worth 80,000 yuan at home.

But seeing the girl's hopeful eyes, Yu Dongqing nodded: "Okay, okay."

The four people began to sing, initially scheduled to sing three songs: "Love Song 1980", "Love Song 1990" and "Young Jinshi".

Fortunately, the four of them had trained together some time ago, and they had a tacit understanding of their cooperation. It was just that Zhang Yang and Du Hui were not very good at "Young Jinshi", but this did not prevent them from practicing repeatedly for more than two hours, and finally mastered these three songs. All songs are practiced.

Although it's still not as good as a professional band, it's not a problem to not engage in fancy solos or play tricks, and to sing in a disciplined manner.

Yu Dongqing's concert time is set at 9:30 pm.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone stopped practicing and began to come to the lakeside to enjoy the singing.

Today is the last day of the music festival. Everyone is going crazy on and off the stage. Chen Guoguo dances, sings, and screams to the rhythm with excitement in the crowd. Yu Dongqing is speechless.

Who could have known that she was once a good girl with both good character and academics?

At this time, suddenly a young man excitedly climbed onto the stage, faced the reveling crowd, opened his arms and jumped down!

Diving at a music festival!

The so-called diving refers to jumping from the stage horse to the crowd with a flat body and being caught and passed by the crowd during the performance.

Compared to the pogo punching wall of death, diving can quickly make you the focus of the audience, even surpassing the musicians on the stage.

A rock veteran once joked: "Not diving in a rock scene is like XXOO not using your mouth." Although it is just a vulgar joke, it can be seen how exciting diving is to the atmosphere of a rock scene.

The young man was quickly caught by the crowd in the audience, and there was a huge cheer.

This action quickly infected others, and one girl actually climbed onto the stage, screamed and threw herself down!

Chen Guoguo's face was already red with excitement, and she couldn't vent her inner excitement by screaming desperately.

She wanted to vent.

Turning around, he saw Yu Dongqing standing not far behind him. He suddenly squeezed over and grabbed Yu Dongqing's arm.

"Uncle, come with me!"

"what?"

"I want to dive too!"

I'm dizzy

You're actually doing this when you're wearing a skirt?

Aren't you afraid of danger or light leakage? !
