silver sea

The first meeting with Bai Yanhui was unexpectedly smooth, the other party never mentioned anything about the rotten apple period, nor did he get close to Wen Youxia, and only focused on discussing some requirements of Party A with Qiu Sheng.

Their tour continued as planned after the New Year's Eve, and Qiu Sheng's 22nd birthday was spent repeatedly tuning, walking on stage, rehearsing and writing songs.Wen Youxia cooked him a bowl of noodles at the same time and place as the previous year, but this time there was no snow on the Donghe River and the night sky was gray, probably because the expectation could not be realized within a day or two, Qiu Sheng no longer Think of birthdays as a date worth celebrating, not to mention that the lover is by your side, and there is nothing to ask for for the time being.

The song I wrote for Hu Yize for the first time was finished very quickly.

Qiu Sheng was at a good age when he could eat and sleep with inspiration, and he wrote pop songs very quickly. Bai Yanhui sent the money to his personal account the next day after accepting it.

He regarded it as earning some extra money, and gave all the money to Wen Youxia as promised.

The performance in Donghe on New Year's Day is over, and their second half tour is about to start.

During the six months since signing with Taiguo, even though rehearsal, songwriting and performance took up most of the three things, Qiu Sheng really felt that they had ended their busy state and everything was in order.This brought him great satisfaction, and he enjoyed the precise sense of control even more.

In January 2014, the climate in the east was warmer than usual.

The second half of the tour went north, but not too far, almost corresponding to the north and south of the city in the first half, mainly along the river.After the initial excitement wears off, life becomes onerous and one-dimensional.

Take the train to different cities and then check in, eat something casually after the show, sleep with your head covered, board the leaving train again, they have hardly seen the daytime of different cities, only repeat it again and again in the livehouse almost Same song list and conversation.

At the beginning, I was always in the best condition, but after more acting, it was like mechanically repeating the life of the previous few days, and the days became copy and paste.Qiu Sheng hopes that every performance will be perfect. Under such high pressure, problems will inevitably arise in the band's running-in.Liu Wangyu also found that their relationship was always at odds, with good times and bad times, but she could at most try to smooth things over with a few words of persuasion. When they really rehearsed and slapped the table and stared, Liu Wangyu couldn't intervene at all, let alone persuade anyone.

At first she found that Qiu Sheng might still have heard of Youxia, but later on, he didn't even hear of Youxia.

Yinshan is indeed Qiu Sheng's only band. He holds the most voice, writes the most songs, and devotes the most energy.Liu Wangyu observed this young man who seemed to always put the band first and burn music as his life. Not only did he not feel passionate, but he was always worried about him.

Back to Donghe at the end of the tour a year ago, there are three days left before New Year's Eve.After successfully finishing the first round of the tour, Qiu Sheng finally showed a calm expression and cooperated with the staff's request to take pictures.

"You seem very happy today?" Gu Qi asked Qiu Sheng.

When he said this, Qiu Sheng was squatting on the sofa with his mobile phone and scrolling through some interface.

The staff backstage were busy and busy, Lu Yining was teasing girls again, Wen Youxia didn't like crowds, so he hid outside the back door to "smoke after the show".Gu Qi thought that Qiu Sheng didn't hear him, so she moved closer to him, and poked Qiu Sheng with her hand: "Hey, lead singer, please talk to me, please be polite."

"I heard... I'm thinking about how to pay the money." Qiu Sheng gently waved him away, although it was in a complaining tone, but he said it happily, "Brother Qi, help me find out, is it right to place an order here?" ?”

Gu Qi glanced at it, and said "Yo", "Do you want to buy a piano?"

Qiu Sheng nodded, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes: "How about it, isn't it pretty?"

"It's not bad, it's a must-have choice for a boyfriend's home trip." Gu Qi gave him a thumbs up, and then researched the price, and suddenly felt that Qiu Sheng was willing, "It's all about spending money, Qiuer..."

Qiu Sheng pretended to say: "No, this is not Wen Xia's favorite, let him make do with it first."

Gu Qi soured him: "What about me? Am I not your baby's guitarist?"

"Ah? You want to compete with Wen Xia?" Qiu Sheng said deliberately and innocently, and immediately hit Gu Qi on the head. He smiled, and his face was full of satisfaction after finishing the order, "It is estimated that he will get it in the next year." gone."

Gu Qi "tsk tsk tsk" a few times: "Does Wen Xia know?"

Seeing that he wanted to leak the news in advance to spoil the surprise, Qiu Sheng warned, "Keep it secret."

"Then you buy me."

"Let me tell Crunchy what Valentine's Day gift you want to buy."

Gu Qi: "..."

He kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, even if he is not single, he feels that this bowl of dog food is really too full.

Because it was the closing performance, after the end, Liu Wangyu invited them to have a supper, and the team relationship finally eased from the tension during the tour—especially Lu Yining and Qiu Sheng, who were finally able to have a good talk.

Guangming Road is the third largest stronghold of Yinshan after the rehearsal room by the sea and the "Flowering" livehouse.

There is no crayfish in winter, so it is changed to hot pot.Because I am a regular customer, after getting acquainted with the owner of the hot pot restaurant, I turned him into a half-music fan. This time, I called first and reserved a seat, which is enough for everyone in the band to come to eat with their families.In fact, only Gu Qi was the one with the family. Lu Yining didn't catch up with the girl who just struck up a conversation. The tour team got together and sat at two tables slowly, making the late-night hot pot restaurant lively again.

"Brother Qi, have you finished writing that song?" Lu Yining remembered what he had forgotten, "I'm waiting to weave the drums."

Gu Qi practiced Tai Chi: "Hurry up, hurry up."

Wen Youxia pretended to be crunchy, but did not reveal that Qiu Sheng had just thrown back the first version of the arrangement, and said in cooperation: "You should think about how to do it first, and leave room for yourself to play in the middle, screwed up Qiu Sheng I'll beat you up."

"Really?" Lu Yining's eyes lit up.

Gu Qi guessed that Wen Youxia meant that he would make it up for himself. He was really not good at this. He wanted to ask Wen Youxia before, but Qiu Sheng stared back at him before he could say it. He didn't dare to say it.Unexpectedly, now that the other party took the initiative to hint, Gu Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "Isn't that right?"

Smiling, Wen Youxia lifted up the small liquor cup and touched it with Gu Qi.

A large table is full of independent music-related practitioners, and at the worst they are also operation workers. When talking about each other, they have their own connections.It was unbearably cold outside, but the hot pot restaurant was full of fun.

Qiu Sheng made an exception and was allowed to drink a small glass of white wine—after the official start of Yinshan, he tried not to touch alcohol and tobacco on the one hand to keep his voice healthy, and on the other hand, Wen Youxia watched too closely——the holiday is coming, Qiu Sheng sips I took a sip, and my face turned red because it was so hot, because I didn't drink it for a long time, my stomach didn't feel pain, but a flowing warmth flowed through my whole body.

He was a little flustered, relying on the fact that everyone here knew his relationship with Wen Youxia, he fell on Wen Youxia, rubbing against Wen Youxia's neck like a lazy cat.

"Is there something wrong with your family during the Chinese New Year?" Qiu Sheng bit his ear and said before he got an answer, "I don't want you to go back."

"Then don't go back." Wen Youxia was so smoked by his acrid, alcohol-smelling breath that he temporarily forgot what happened to Wen's family, he wrapped Qiu Sheng's back with one hand, and told him not to fall backwards carefully.

Qiu Sheng smiled, and clasped hands with him on the back again.

Wen Youxia touched his shoulder blades through the clothes, and Qiu Sheng's back started to itch.He pressed that hand down in retaliation, wanting to bite someone, and was thinking about how to show his presence slightly, when the door of the box of the hot pot restaurant suddenly opened from the outside.

Seeing the person coming, the hand holding Qiu Sheng froze, instead of retracting it, it rested on his shoulder.

Liu Wangyu recognized the other party first: "Hey, isn't this... Bai Yanhui!"

"I heard people from 'Huayang' say that you are having dinner here, come here to try your luck and have a late-night snack." Bai Yanhui took off his coat, and found Qiu Sheng in a friendly manner, "Xiao Qiu, is it okay?"

Although people from the company were there, everyone tacitly felt that Qiu Sheng should be the one who made the decision, and it was quiet for a while.

In normal times, Qiu Sheng didn't want him to participate in some private gatherings, but it's not completely private, not to mention that Bai Yanhui just paid him a "huge sum".Qiu Sheng felt Wen Youxia pinch his shoulders, only to realize that his muscles stretched again at some point.

"Okay." Qiu Sheng nodded, making his superficial skills perfect, "Teacher Bai sit at our table."

Because the cooperation that just ended was very pleasant, and Bai Yanhui never mentioned the past, neither Qiu Sheng nor Wen Youxia relaxed their vigilance towards him.

"I went to see your performance today, but I stood at the end, you may not have noticed that I was there." Bai Yanhui smiled kindly and sincerely, "The songs seem to be written by Qiu Sheng?"

Gu Qi has always had admiration for him as a guitarist, upon hearing this, he quickly replied: "Yes."

Bai Yanhui said that he could hear it: "You have a very personal style, no wonder I have heard of your band in other places. If it wasn't for the signing today, I would have to buy a few more. After you are famous all over the country, you will show it. Line up!"

"Mr. Bai, I'll give it to you if you want it." Qiu Sheng said.

Bai Yanhui waved his hand: "That won't work, I'll go to the record store to buy it myself, and then get it for you to sign, is that okay?"

Qiu Sheng was a little embarrassed by his praise: "Then you really spend too much money."

"I like the song "Blue Winter" the most. It has a very struggling mood, and the middle keyboard is very well programmed."

As soon as the title of the song came out, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

This is not a big hit song, it's a bit blunt, a bit slow, with progressive emotions, not many lyrics, pure instrumental music takes up most of it and it lasts for 7 minutes, and the performance is often forced to give up because of insufficient time.The song composed by Qiu Sheng is more like a part of his self-expression. It is rare to be self-willed. When he wrote it, he didn’t care whether others could understand it, but Qiu Sheng concluded based on the feedback from many parties: Few people can patiently feel the emotions, and even more so. Many times he saw fans nominate this song, followed by "Extremely Hypnotic".

Hearing what Bai Yanhui said, Qiu Sheng immediately understood that he had really listened to "Silver Valley".He broke down every song and discussed with Qiu Sheng and Gu Qi, from tuning to performance, from intro to bridge, where is the whimsy hidden, Bai Yanhui gave a rough idea, Qiu Sheng started from a At first I didn't want to talk about it with him, but later on my eyes started to shine.

The lead singer of the band is usually divided into two roles, either the soul of the band, or the mascot tool person responsible for mobilizing the atmosphere.Of course, Yinshan’s Qiu Sheng belongs to the former. He is used to aloofness in creation. Even though there are many discussions with Wen Youxia, except for the songs he wrote, he doesn’t know how to talk about the plots carefully designed by Qiu Sheng. "You can decide."Although he is self-centered, other people are different from the band members. When he discovered the foreshadowing he planted, Qiu Sheng suddenly heard the sound like a mountain flowing water. He couldn't help feeling that Bai Yanhui's many years of experience were not wasted.

Taking advantage of Bai Yanhui's going to exchange drinks with others, Qiu Sheng turned his head and whispered to Wen Youxia, "He is indeed very powerful."

"En." Wen Youxia nodded, "His taste has always been very precise."

"It's no wonder that in the early years when everyone worked hard underground, he was able to grab that crack and walk up." Qiu Sheng had never had an in-depth communication with Bai Yanhui before, and only now felt his unique professional advantages, but he couldn't help being puzzled. "But why can't he write songs now?"

Wen Youxia's eyes were heavy: "I don't know, maybe I'm too impetuous."

I thought that Bai Yanhui came in a strange way, and when he deliberately chatted about the album, he would take advantage of his status as a senior to make things difficult for Qiu Sheng. It can be seen that after he showed his sincerity, the two chatted happily and relaxed.Bai Yanhui didn't do anything wrong, and Qiu Sheng didn't harbor inexplicable hostility towards him, and at the end of the meal, he started to cherish each other.

Long time no see, maybe because of what happened in the past, people have changed?

Wen Youxia seriously reflected: "Am I really thinking too much?"

The hot pot bureau drinks and eats food, and they will talk until late without knowing it.After everything was over, even Liu Wangyu became a member of Bai Yanhui's address book. He deeply felt that he was a mature and attractive musician, and promised to "cooperate again in the future".

Wen Youxia wanted to go home with Qiu Sheng, and bid farewell to the others at Guangming intersection.

Bai Yanhui hailed the car but couldn't get in, he stood at the door and said reluctantly, "Xiaoqiu, that song has passed the review, thank you!"

Qiu Sheng wanted to say thank you Qian, and smiled: "It's okay, Teacher Bai."

"Can I still look for you next time?" Bai Yanhui was afraid that he would not agree, so he quickly added, "Next time, I will try to get them to sign your name, so that it will be easier to negotiate the royalty share in the future."

"Let's see." Qiu Sheng didn't say anything dead, "We can talk again after a year."

Bai Yanhui pawed at the car door, his eyes seemed to wake up for a moment, and then returned to the state of drunken eyes: "Oh right... When I was eating just now, I wanted to ask, you and Wen Xia... Is it what I think?"

The author says:

The young Qiu didn't know enough about the gray area, and felt that good people are good people and bad people are bad people... just be beaten by the society for a few years ()

Happy 520, they will be happy soon too
