distorted impression

The Juice Music Festival that invited Dream Plating to perform is a very small music festival brand just established in this city. Whether it is venue or equipment, it cannot keep up with the big domestic music festival brands, but for the newly born Dream Plating Band , is a rare opportunity.

The time of the festival is the last weekend of August.

This opportunity is still a friend of guitarist Li Sui, and for his sake, he specially went to the performance opportunity he wanted.

For this reason, Jiang Chengyue was happy for several days. Their music fans were few and scattered, and even the banner that drove the atmosphere of the scene was made by himself.Lead singer Sun Muyang's family has been in the fabric business for many years. For this reason, he went home to straighten a piece of fabric, cut it randomly, and prepared to make his own cultural shirt.

Li Sui also posted two leaflets about Meng Platinum's upcoming performances at the entrance of his skydiving club, hoping that customers who came and went could see his band.

Each of them is happy in their own way, until today——

The promotional poster for the Juice Music Festival is out.

It doesn't have Dream Plated's name on it.

Jiang Chengyue read it back and forth several times, even looking between the lines, but there was really nothing.

"Oh, you haven't been disqualified from performing. The layout of our poster is limited, and too many words crowded together will not look good, so we asked the artist to only put those bands with high expectations from music fans, Don't mind me, please understand." The contact person of the Juice Music Festival said, "Your performance is the second in order, and the band 'Red Antelope' will be you after the opening. It's still very good, and I look forward to your performance."

The tone of the contact person of the music festival on the phone is very gentle, and the explanation is also well-founded, which makes it impossible to find fault.

The other party made it very clear——

Your popularity is not enough, music fans are not looking forward to it, it can only be counted as a warm-up, not enough for the music festival brand to write the name of Meng Platinum on the poster.

Everyone understands the truth, but disappointment is inevitable.

It's not really fair to show up without a name.

"To be honest, we don't have many works that can be produced except "A Midsummer Endless." Jiang Chengyue said, "Without works, we will not be recognized at all."

It's funny to say that the most popular search for the band Mengbai was scolded by Xi Jie's fans earlier.

Rock music fans do not recognize such popularity.

The band is ambitious, but the world is real.

Without popularity and popularity, not only did they not earn a penny, they even went to a music festival and could not leave their names.

The opening band "Red Antelope" is a very old rock band in China. It was specially invited by the Juice Music Festival for 27 yuan. Together with the finale bands, it constitutes the highlight of this Juice Music Festival.

Meng Plating's performance sequence was followed by "Red Antelope". At that time, the audience had just finished a performance and was in a state of exhaustion. They basically didn't notice the next unknown small band.

Unless, they can impress music fans with genuine works, but this is not an easy task for Meng Pai.

"It's better than no chance to perform." Jiang Chengyue waved his hand, trying to break up everyone's depressed atmosphere, "There are still people in the crowd who hate us."

There are many large and small bands in this city, and not every band has the opportunity to perform at the music festival. Although the poster of the music festival does not say Mengbo, the news from the same circle travels quickly, and there are a few discussions in the group— —

[Mao You]: Meng Pai is still very good, signed to a record company in such a short period of time, and even got the qualification to perform at a music festival.

[Xiang Chi]: Don't brag, they are not mentioned on the poster of the Juice Music Festival.I've seen too many people like them, and music fans forget them after listening to them. I think it's better not to lose face.

[Xiang Chi]: Jiang Chengyue only relies on her face to attract people.

In fact, Jiang Chengyue doesn't care about other people's opinions. He played drums on the street when he was in middle and high school, and occasionally went to play discs in front of bars. Every official performance is a hard-won opportunity for him.

"I wanted to ask you just now." Li Sui looked at him with his head tilted while holding the guitar, "Are you wearing the earrings on the wrong side?"

"This one is only on the right side." Jiang Chengyue said, "There is no other way, as long as it looks good."

It's just a pity for his little wing, I don't know if there will be a chance to see him again.

Jiang Chengyue went to the Xingcai livehouse in the evening, and asked Sun Muyang to ask him for a new song, so that he could arrange it for himself.

Brother Ku found a job as a resident singer in Xingcai's bar, and would come over to sing on weekday nights.

Sun Muyang was holding a ukulele and was singing "Dear Traveler". Jiang Chengyue found a seat at the bar and wanted to wait for him to finish singing the song——

"Dream the most gentle dream, fill the world with haste"

"In the boundless time and space, among thousands of people, listen to the voice of the heart"

Song Jun, the owner of Xingcai Livehouse, invited Lu Xu to come over tonight as usual. Lu Xu sipped champagne in the booth area on the second floor without interest. When he looked downstairs, he accidentally saw Jiang Chengyue sitting in the corner of the first floor .

Jiang Chengyue was wearing the sports shirt she wore when she went out in the morning, with a military drum bag at her feet, lying on the table, and pulled a steamed bun from the bag for dinner.

Jiang Chengyue's diet was too messy, and he didn't have the concept of three meals a day. He only ate when he felt hungry. He only wanted to fill his stomach and didn't pursue any delicacies. Lu Xu frowned when he saw it.

But then, the silver deer on Jiang Chengyue's right ear flashed under the light of the bar.

Another silver fawn that matched this NancyDeer accessory was lying in Lu Xu's pocket. He picked up the champagne that hadn't touched much in front of him, and used the glass to cover the smile at the corner of his mouth.

However, not far from the booth, two men were pointing at Jiang Chengyue, with malicious smiles on their faces.

Lu Xu's smile froze on his lips.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a serious mistake.

Jiang Chengyue bought herself an extra millet cake tonight, but before she had time to eat it, Sun Muyang swiped the strings of the ukulele twice with her fingertips, ending the song.

He stood up and prepared to go over, but he didn't expect to be preempted.

It's Brother Cool's tea-smelling ex-boyfriend again.

Jiang Chengyue heard from Meng Zhe that this was the drummer of Sun Muyang's previous band, and there was probably something to do with the quarrel between the two when they broke up, and the two haven't reconciled yet.

Sun Muyang is not good at talking, most of the time he has a cold face, only the boy is talking.

Jiang Chengyue didn't go over to disturb, but sat in his seat and played drums with the Kuband.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder, and a strange man stood in front of him, pointed to the stud on his right ear, and asked him for his contact information.

Jiang Chengyue was sure that she didn't like girls, and the reason why she didn't wear the earrings on her right ear was because she didn't like being approached like this.He has a heart but no guts. In fact, he is a bit autistic in this regard, and has a natural rejection of strike-ups that fall from the sky.

He pointed to the bluetooth headset he was plugging in, and shook his hand to reject it.

After a while, someone came to ask again, but he still refused in the same way, not even raising his head.

Another person came, and Jiang Chengyue took the trouble to stand up to leave, but the person reached out and took off the bluetooth headset on his right ear.

The ear was scratched by the strap of the watch, Jiang Chengyue was stunned, trying to hide, but found that it was Lu Xu, and his frowning brows were flattened: "Brother Lu, you are here tonight."

Lu Xu hummed, his blue eyes were like frozen lake water in winter, without any temperature.

Jiang Chengyue gained experience from being bullied in the few days when he lived with him, and now when she saw Lu Xu's face change, she wanted to run away, and she didn't know where she was blocking Lu Xu's eyes.

Lu Xu just sat down on the high stool next to him, turned around to face Jiang Chengyue, the knuckles of his right knuckles that had just touched the glass of iced champagne lightly touched Jiang Chengyue's cheek, and stretched out his hand to pinch Jiang Chengyue The lobe of the right ear.

In the scorching heat, Jiang Chengyue shivered slightly from the coolness on her fingertips.

There was a slight pain in the right ear, accompanied by a slight itching, Lu Xu took off the earring on his right ear, probably because he was afraid of hurting him, Lu Xu lowered his head, and the warm air was against his ear when he breathed back.

At the same time, Lu Xu's metal watch strap accidentally caught his collar.

This is... don't you want to borrow him?

Jiang Chengyue lowered his head to look at the small piece of ground behind Lu Xu.

"What are you doing with your head down, raise your head up." He heard Lu Xu say, "Don't move, baby, I'll change it for you."

Lu Xu tugged at his left ear, licked his earlobe with his fingertips, and carefully put on the other left-style fawn earring in his pocket: "That's right."

Lu Xu's movements were not gentle, but Jiang Chengyue didn't hide, even though his ears were a little red from being pulled.

Jiang Chengyue: "?"

Also.

The first time Lu Xu saw him, he said that he was a straight man, and he was definitely not happy to see those two gay men talking to him just now, for fear that he would provoke a little gay and go home.

He understood the reason, but at the same time, he didn't know why, deep down in his heart, the small gear that had been calculating the world's sophistication seemed to freeze for half a second, and then resumed normal operation.

Having figured it out, Jiang Chengyue sat comfortably on the stool, shook her legs, broke off a piece of rice cake, and asked Lu Xu if he wanted to taste the sweetness of the sweet-scented osmanthus rice cake in the old city.

Lu Xu absently bit the small piece of sweet cake from Jiang Chengyue's hand, and didn't even ask Jiang Chengyue why he added chili sauce to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

He instinctively felt that he had changed Jiang Chengyue's earring to the left, so he should be very relieved.

But at the same time as I felt relieved, the feeling that something was wrong in the morning came to my heart again.

Whether to change or not to change has become a problem. These two feelings are repeatedly pulled in his mind, as if they want to pull him into a flat playing card.

It's just a little bit away from cracking.

Lu Xu has a lot of work, but he can be as busy or not as he likes. For example, tonight, he is sitting in front of the workbench, in the bitter taste of black coffee, watching Assistant Wang's new dress for this year's Nancy Deer autumn and winter show that has just been designed. Presentation catalog and invitation card.

Whatsapp (a commonly used communication program abroad) delivered a new message from Andy Chen——

[AndyChen]: Lu, take a look at my new design draft, it's just for reference, I didn't copy your ideas. [picture]

[Kyle]: Oh.

Although Xue Renjing has a good aesthetic, in Lu Xu's view, he really has no design talent, and is actually more suitable for business. He used to be too lazy to care about it, but now he occasionally mentions something when he is in a good mood.

So, he picked out more than [-] mistakes in the design draft and returned them to Andy Chen.

Chen Andy was silent for 10 minutes, then changed the subject——

[AndyChen]: Do you live with Jiang?

[Kyle]: Ja (right). :)

[AndyChen]: I can pay for him.

[Kyle]: He doesn't like it.I disagree. :)

Lu Xu could see Jiang Chengyue's liking for the band, so he directly rejected Chen Andi.

Jiang Chengyue didn't have the slightest interest in the entertainment industry.

At this moment, he was adjusting the fabric design of the dress called Firefly in the Rain. Jiang Chengyue was sitting on the steps of the door playing the harmonica. The sound of the piano came in through the crack of the door, as if it carried the fragrance of the grass in the yard. Lu Xu's work efficiency is much faster.

Probably to take care of his feelings, Jiang Chengyue even went to learn a few German folk songs and played them on the harmonica.

Lu Xu pushed open the door and kicked Jiang Chengyue's butt again: "Still sleeping?"

Jiang Chengyue's harmonica stopped: "I want to practice more, play in a band, I don't want to overwhelm myself with too many skills, just in case the music can be used."

"Do you know Andy Chen?" Lu Xu asked suddenly.

"I don't know much?" Jiang Chengyue didn't know why he said this suddenly, "I only know that Teacher Chen studied in the United States, and you are at the same school as Brother Lu? Is Andy his English name?"

"Well, they are usually called Chen Andi." Lu Xu said, "His real name is Chen Facai."

Jiang Chengyue: "This..."

Lu Xu pinched the two earrings in his pocket, the deer worth a thousand gold and the little wings worth two yuan, and felt relieved.

"Look, I drew it casually this afternoon." A piece of paper in Lu Xu's hand floated on Jiang Chengyue's lap.

The black flag has hot gold patterns—

Two feathered arrows were inserted obliquely on the stone, splashing countless broken bamboo leaves.

Jiang Chengyue looked carefully, only to find that the feather arrows were not only feather arrows, but also drum sticks for a drum set. On the surface of the gravel, there were patterns of piano keys, and four strings were stretched around it. In the meantime.

On the top are two large characters, Meng Plating.

With Jiang Chengyue's aesthetic level, he also knew that this picture was perfect.This one is better than the one he drew, I don't know where Gao Ming went.

It took less than an hour for Lu Xu to draw this picture. He always draws whatever he wants, and he draws as soon as he wants. This kind of design is nothing to him at all.

But seeing the exclamation in Jiang Chengyue's eyes at this time, he was still quite proud.

There are many design drafts that he has been praised for, but because of this one, he found the joy of being in the design industry when he first started.

Just when there was a bit of night wind, Lu Xu was overly complacent, his eyes were blinded by the wind, and he raised his hand to cover it.

"Let me see." Jiang Chengyue watched him cover his eyes, "Does it hurt? It might be sand. Brother Lu, you must, definitely, absolutely don't shed tears. Let me blow it for you."

He was afraid of tears, but he stood on tiptoe anyway.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xu was just lost in his eyes at first, and passed away after a few blinks, and didn't take it to heart——

A gust of warm wind blew across the blue lake on its own initiative, and the sand was probably blown into the bottom of the lake.
