Chapter 41: Forced to Show Off?

Zhang Tianshuo is certainly a figure who cannot be avoided in the history of Chinese rock and roll; he is one of the godfathers of Chinese rock and roll.

In the 1980s, he carried the banner of Chinese rock and roll together with Cui Jian, Tang Dynasty, and Black Panther.

Even if he has basically withdrawn behind the scenes now and started to ponder the business of opening bars to make money, his popularity is there, especially in Sanlitun, which is known as the branch of the domestic entertainment industry.

Rebels, literary youths, and rock enthusiasts abound here, just like the young men and women who are playing waves in the dance floor now.

Li Hengli very skillfully let people record the whole process, which can not only be used as propaganda material for his bar, but also prevent any uncontrollable scenes from appearing in subsequent conflicts, so as to leave evidence.

With China's accession to the WTO and the success of the Olympic bid, the *Beiping Housing Demolition Notice* has been officially issued to various bar merchants on Sanlitun South Street.

He also didn't want to have any friction at this time node, causing trouble.

After the song ended, the audience cheered loudly; the followers had rarely seen Zhang Tianshuo on stage, and they clapped their hands without money.

Cui Jian also came today; he had no choice but to go on stage and pick up the microphone under the booing and crowding of the fans.

"The brine for the noodles I ate tonight was a bit salty, so I won't sing today!"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience that gave him face.

Cui Jian continued: "I still want to take advantage of the scene heated up by Master Zhang to advocate that all our singers must sing live and continue to dedicate wonderful performances to the audience!"

"Good!", "Well said!"

He is not letting go of every opportunity to promote his philosophy.

Starting in 2002, Cui Jian launched the "Live Singing Movement" in the music scene, becoming a social activist, calling for support from Luo Dayou of Taiwan, Latin diva Mariana, and others.

He even said "Na Ying just likes to lip-sync" in a music festival, causing great controversy, and the spearhead also pointed directly at *Spring Festival Gala* and *Same Song*.

This Yehenara clan, who was crowned with the lip-sync scandal, was also at the scene today, drinking with her sisters Wang Fei and Ke Lan on the second-floor VIP, watching the fun just now.

Ke Lan saw that there were more and more fun things today, raised her wine glass and teased: "Yingzi, don't you go up and sing one to slap his face?"

"Who cares about him!"

Immediately after, she pointed to Seeing Lu Kuan, who was walking to the stage, and smiled: "I like this little handsome guy; the Dunhuang mural thing just now was too funny, and he poked that dead fat man until he couldn't do anything."

That's right, Yingzi had also been bullied by Zhang Tianshuo, and had just been squeezed by Cui Jian, so she was quite sympathetic at this moment.

Wang Fei believes in Buddhism, and it is said that she believes in the Joyful Buddha, but she is more interested in the mysterious color on him.

"It is said that he saw Mei Yanfang's cancer in Xiangjiang, and now it is being passed on as god-like."

She debuted from Xiangjiang and had many sources of news from Xiangjiang and Taiwan, and because of the recent scandal between Xie Tingfeng and Mei Yanfang's agent Wang Minhui, she learned of this gossip.

Ke Lan is a second-generation who is rooted in the seedlings, and doesn't believe in these strange powers and chaotic gods, but she has no lack of good feelings for Seeing Lu Kuan, who has a good appearance.

"Yingzi, the enemy's enemy is a friend; I estimate that his song is hopeless; help him solve the siege later and anger Zhang Tianshuo."

Na Ying hadn't answered yet, and Seeing Lu Kuan, who had already gone on stage, picked up the microphone and cleared his throat.

"Let's say it first, people want money to sing, I want life to sing; if anything happens later, I won't be responsible."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and there was no lack of fans applauding.

Just like what Na Ying said, the vulgar memes that popped out of Seeing Lu Kuan's mouth are proper humor when put in now, which can win the favor of passersby.

Who doesn't like fun-seekers.

"A *Chasing Dream Red Heart* for everyone; if the voice breaks later, please don't be stingy with your applause!"

There are many songs to copy, but Boss Lu can only play and sing this one.

Most of the people who can come to the bar to pick up women and play at night in this era are post-80s, and they should have more resonance with songs of this style.

Furthermore, this song is all emotion, no technique, very consistent with Boss Lu's white voice.

A few guitar preludes almost made Zhang Tianshuo, who was watching the show with his arms crossed, laugh; this is too amateur.

"Where is the world full of flowers? If it really exists, then I will definitely go."

"I want to stand on the highest peak there, regardless of whether it is a cliff."

The audience also couldn't help but sneer; can this be called rock and roll?

Except for the handsome face and the ape-back bee-waist figure on the stage, this flat-as-water melody is hard to resonate with them.

Zhou Xun and Fan Bingbing couldn't bear to look, regretting not dragging Seeing Lu Kuan away just now.

This time, losing face is certain, but the person involved looks quite good in psychological quality, not caring about the chaos under the stage at all.

"Live hard and love hard, even if you are liver and brain smeared, don't ask anyone to be satisfied, just be worthy of yourself."

"I have never chosen to give up on ideals, even in the gray-faced days."

Seeing Lu Kuan clumsily manipulated the guitar and finished the first four sentences; Zhang Tianshuo was already looking forward to the winner's settlement screen after his song ended.

Cui Jian faintly tasted some meaning; he used the fingering of the C key, but sang the sound of the A key, which means...

The accompaniment key of the singer will lag far behind the singing key in the chorus part; it is difficult for a singer who is not very powerful and capable of controlling the scene to finish singing without breaking the voice.

Wang Fei's ex-husband is a rock master, so naturally, she easily discovered this ridiculous oolong; it seems too confident, right?

But from these first four sentences, it is really hard to hear any reason for this Seeing Lu Kuan to be confident.

Except for the positive lyrics, everything else is really nothing to talk about.

Fan Bingbing looked at the small number of booing audiences at the scene and was a bit indignant: "I think it sounds good, and the lyrics are sunny and positive, unlike the songs now that are all about love."

This is not her flattery; the pursuit of ideals, struggle, and even if liver and brain are smeared, one must be worthy of oneself in the lyrics is very consistent with her current state of mind and life journey.

From Taiwan to the mainland, and then to the Xiangjiang circle, Fan Bingbing, who is still hovering in the second and third lines, feels somewhat empathetic.

Zhang Yadong is as indifferent as ever, giving an impartial evaluation: "The 4/4 beat rhythm is brisk, and the song's sense of progress is very strong; if you add some bass and drum beats, it's also okay."

This kind of evaluation is based on Seeing Lu Kuan still being an outsider who has almost no contact with music production, even though he just said he wanted to write songs for Fan Bingbing.

But having said that, being able to fill a song in just 10 minutes, at least the literary literacy is not low.

"Maybe my hands are clumsy, but I am willing to keep exploring."

"Pay all the youth without leaving regrets."

Zhang Tianshuo and Cui Jian clinked glasses, and had already begun to think about how to ridicule this little white face later.

Do you call this rock and roll? It's like a monk chanting scriptures.

Suddenly, the singing voice that the singer on stage suddenly erupted made his temples jump; he looked at Seeing Lu Kuan, who was roaring, in a daze.
