Pilot

It was very, very hot on the day of the festival.

In the backstage preparation area, Xiao Xiang was trying every means to cover some inappropriate marks on Sheng Xia's neck.

Niu Xiaojun and Gao Ce sat in front of Shi Ye, staring at him expressionlessly.

For Sheng Xia's first performance, Gao Ce and Niu Xiaojun were very nervous, especially Gao Ce, who pushed all the work and flew over to watch the whole process. As a result, before the performance started, the hickey on Sheng Xia's neck made him vomit three liters of blood.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Xiang asked Sheng Xia to change into a small turtleneck.But the bad thing is that today's temperature is high, especially hot, and it's hot in midsummer after a while, so I can't stop sweating.

Shi Ye didn't look at Sheng Xia either.He frowned, as if he couldn't feel the sight of the two knives in front of him, and he played the crank on the guitar by himself.

The whole body is noisy and chaotic.

Shi Ye suddenly said, "I haven't been to a music festival for a long time."

Gao Ce was startled, and followed Shi Ye's gaze to look around.

They are surrounded by staff and bands who are preparing, and they will stop for a while when they pass by familiar faces, laughing and chatting with Shi Ye, and say cheers to each other.

When Gao Ce found out here, Ye's eyes became gentler. He probably liked this environment better.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a music festival.After becoming famous, I seldom come here. The band is busy holding concerts, participating in activities, releasing albums, filming MVs, doing interviews, doing this and that.

Gao Ce was bored for a while before asking, "Is there any problem?"

Shi Ye was nodding to the guitarist who was whistling at him over there, and replied, "Aren't you annoying? It's not like going to the Bird's Nest to go to the Spring Festival Gala, it's just a music festival. I want me to play the guitar with my eyes closed for you later." have a look?"

Niu Xiaojun interjected: "I know you're fine in old age, but is midsummer really fine? It was you who made the decision that the rehearsals are fine and we accepted this performance!"

Shi Ye smiled: "Go ask him, don't ask me."

Gao Ce and Niu Xiaojun stopped talking.They have seen the rehearsal, and it is true that the effect is good, but the live performance is different. Many singers are in frequent troubles when they sing live...

They also asked Sheng Xia if there was any problem, but the other party just said coldly: "Don't talk to me first, I don't like to talk before singing, you will make me anxious."

...what else can I say.

The manager and the boss were so anxious that they kept drinking water, rubbing their hands and going to the toilet, but the band members happily chatted about the details of the upcoming performance and where to go for barbecue after the performance.

Before going on stage, Gao Ce was a little worried that something would happen if Sheng Xia didn't wear glasses, so he worked with Niu Xiaojun to persuade Sheng Xia to wear the invisibility. After all, it was his first time on stage, so what if something happened.

Sheng Xia was already very uncomfortable due to the heat, and there were two people in his ears who kept pushing. He frowned and began to rummage through his bag, intending to find headphones to block the noise.

Shi Ye couldn't stand it anymore.

"He won't wear it if he doesn't love it, you're almost done," Shi Ye frowned, and then asked Sheng Xia, "You are about four meters away from me on the stage, can you see me clearly?"

Midsummer nodded.

Shi Ye turned his face to Niu Xiaojun and said, "Did you hear that, he can see me clearly, that's all."

Niu Xiaojun who felt that he was stuffed with dog food for no reason: "..."

Before going on stage, Shi Ye asked Sheng Xia one last time, are you nervous.

Sheng Xia's reaction was surprisingly calm.

He looked back at Shi Ye quietly, and said, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I'm shaking a little now, not because I'm nervous, but because I'm so excited, I'm about to explode."

Shi Ye touched Sheng Xia's ear while no one was watching, lowered his head and whispered to him: "Remember what I told you before, just treat it as a dream, we are dreaming."

Sheng Xia shook her head and smiled.

He said: "Teacher Shi Ye, actually standing on the stage with you is just a dream for me."

After they came to the stage, the originally very passionate audience fell silent.

The pilot came on stage as the finale.But the reaction of the fans is more complicated. It is impossible for those who can come to this music festival not to know the Pilots and have never heard their songs, but this is the first time for the new lead singer to officially appear on stage, and the situation of the band is very complicated, so the situation is a bit... …Awkward.

Midsummer is so hot that it comes with blush.He still didn't look very happy when he came on stage, because it was...too hot.

He walked to the keyboard, adjusted the microphone, and quietly looked at the blur in front of him.

Shi Ye thought that Sheng Xia would directly turn around to signal them to start, but he actually said the opening remarks.

"It's very hot today." Sheng Xia's tone was still slow, "I don't know if everyone will be very hot down here."

The audience in the audience remained silent.

Gao Ce stood under the stage, his hands were tightly clenched, his chest was heaving and his heart was beating wildly, he was very nervous.

This is probably the quietest opening of a rock band in history, no cheers, no screams, just unexplained looks.

Shi Ye frowned, he had already approached the microphone, and planned to say a few words to make his old face smooth.

"It's strange, I'm not nervous at all." Sheng Xia smiled, "Thank you all for coming, I tried my best to make everyone sweat a little more. It's summer, and it's good to sweat in summer. Remember to drink plenty of water."

When he laughed, Shi Ye was sure that several audience members were killed and covered their mouths.

Good looks still seem to be useful at certain times?

Someone in the audience whistled, and someone started laughing.

"Then I will bring you "In the Milky Way". This is the song I wrote when I was 17 years old, and the lyrics written by teacher Shi Ye. I hope you like it."

After speaking, he smiled, raised his index finger and tapped the microphone lightly, turned around, and waited for the prelude.

Gao Ce looked at Sheng Xia's face on the screen and was stunned.

What Midsummer did just now...was Shi Ye's little trick before singing. Everyone who likes Shi Ye knows it.what is this?Upright and bright, showing affection? ?

There was also some commotion in the audience, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of drums and guitars.

The stage darkened, the lights cast a dotted Milky Way, and Midsummer stood in the center of the light.

He snapped his fingers and looked up.

The picture in my mind travels through time...

ten years.

Sheng Xia's vision was blurred, and in a trance, what he saw seemed to be the ten years he had admired Shi Ye.

What is it like to have a dream come true?Those who practice piano alone?The days and nights of singing in front of the mirror, those boring years, Shi Ye became a goal, a spiritual direction, and a magnificent wish.

People's emotions may be contradictory when wishes are realized.Anyway, Sheng Xia felt that he wanted to cry, he was sad, and he wanted to cry for himself.He also wanted to shout loudly, cry loudly, cry loudly and laugh loudly, and wanted to tell everyone that I got what I wanted and that my life was not in vain.

Really dreaming.

Aviator is a symbol, a symbol for everyone to listen to mainland rock.There is a saying in the circle like this: You can’t help screaming at the scene of the pilot, and when Shi Ye plays the guitar, you are forced to have an intracranial orgasm.

The audience started shouting.

The moment Sheng Xia sang, he almost forgot who he was and where he was.

He couldn't see the dangling arm in front of him, couldn't see everything clearly, he only heard the sound of Shi Ye's guitar.He could tell that this was Shi Ye, standing on his right - Shi Ye must have turned his body slightly sideways, staring at the front with empty eyes, as usual, let you look at him casually.He could imagine Xiao's posture of wanting to play the drum, the arc of her arms when she was tense, and Zhong's smiling face towards the audience.

Midsummer only feels hot.

"If I lose myself a world of doubt."

If I am in this world full of doubts, I lose myself.

I have lost myself, it was Shi Ye who picked me up.I was smashed into pieces by this world, a piece fell off here, a piece fell off there, I was scattered, I was flying when I sang, didn't you see?

"Andi wonder what's mine."

I want to know what belongs to me.

What belongs to me?We belong to this moment, your emotions are mine, just this second.Wow, you guys can sing too?Yes, you sing, you have entered this moment, we cherish each other and understand each other at this moment, this moment belongs to us.

Midsummer shakes his body along with the music, the drumbeat is about to start here, listen quickly, we are going to fly——

"There's no doubt when you kiss me the stars."

But no doubt, when you kiss me, the stars sigh too.

Is it true, did you hear the stars sigh?I fell from that galaxy, you caught me, you have to catch me.

"Please wake me up when the summer ends."

Wake me up when summer is over.

please wake me up.

I'm so hot I'm going to explode.

Shi Ye looked at the audience who were getting more and more restless in surprise, he was distracted to look at Sheng Xia, and took time to glance at Xiao Xiangzhong Zheng behind him, they saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.

Gao Ce in the audience was in a turbulent heart.

If you ignore the voice, Sheng Xia's various small movements of singing now make him feel very familiar... Deja vu, too deja vu...

Sheng Xia's demeanor on stage is a bit cold and detached, his voice is just grainy, very distinctive and recognizable... But when he came on stage, why did he make small gestures... so like the old Shi Ye?

He's natural, relaxed, and he lives in the notes that come out.

Gao Ce shook his head, no, this is midsummer, his voice pierced through the wind, lights and smoke, and it burned up.

People in the audience seem to have forgotten those prejudices and puzzles.After a period of rapid drum beats sounded, the crowd boiled instantly, and the scene exploded.

After listening to the first song, Gao Ce and Niu Xiaojun were completely dumbfounded.

Sheng Xia panted slightly, and said on stage: "It's really hot, but there are two songs left. Why don't you sweat a little more?"

Gao Ce looked at the cheering crowd in front of him with a complicated expression, and said to Niu Xiaojun, "... Am I dreaming?"

Niu Xiaojun was carrying his camera to record. He kept his eyes on the stage and said, "Brother, let's calm down! We just need to shout awesome!"

Gao Ce shook his head and sighed, "I... thought I saw another Shi Ye."

The effect was so good that it was unexpected, and the situation in the scope of worry did not appear at all.

After Sheng Xia took the stage, he seemed to be a different person. His stage charm was so good that even Gao Ce, a veteran in the world, couldn't find any faults.While watching it, Gao Ce felt that Midsummer’s voice resembled Cobain for a while, for a while he felt that Midsummer’s body movements resembled David Bowie, and after a while, he felt that Midsummer’s temperament resembled Shi Ye.

He couldn't help but look for similarities and analyze the commercial value of Midsummer.

But it seems that there are only four words in the end, which is amazing.

Not only Gao Ce was shocked, but Shi Ye and the portrait on stage were also shocked.During the rehearsal, Sheng Xia was really in a good state, but the scene was more than twice as good as the rehearsal, it was simply king bomb.He was completely immersed in the scene, and the emotions of a good lead singer can often drive the performance of the entire band. Sheng Xia blended into the band lightly, and he began to control the rhythm.

Later, Shi Ye began to lose his mind.

He remembered what Sheng Xia said to himself - I found our connection, and I will continue you.

I will continue you.

The big screen in the middle began to play the words of the song, interspersed with Shi Ye's face, Midsummer's hands playing the keyboard, lights flickering - the Milky Way floating on the stage.

After singing, Midsummer wanted to cry a little.

The stage is so beautiful, this is the most free place in the world.There are thousands of people shouting the song you are singing in unison, staring at you and singing along, they also call Shi Ye's name, call their own name, dance, shout, cry with the light, cry with the lyrics, follow me The action of pressing the keys shouts.How direct and straightforward is rock and roll, it just wants to make you cry, make you laugh, make you lose control, make you boil and make you scream——

He took off the microphone and started singing along the stage.

Someone shouted: "Dive—dive—dive—"

While Xiao Xiang was beating the drums, she watched Sheng Xia walk to the edge of the stage, her outstretched hand kept calling him to dive into the water, the performance was beyond imagination and she even forgot the harmony.

Then Xiao Xiang just watched Sheng Xia turn around while singing, and lay back with a smile——

The crowd holds midsummer.He was still singing, and the audience was screaming.

Xiao wanted to beat the drum with a shaking hand, and almost hit the wrong time... This is not a planned plot. How ambitious is it to dive into the water for the first time on stage?Xiao Xiang turned his head to look at Shi Ye's expression, and it turned out to be a bit ugly.

This performance is like a dream for everyone in Pilot.

At the end of the song, the lights went out.Only the large screen in the middle of the audience was lit, and the logo of the Pilots band slowly appeared on the screen.

It's a little lonely guy with funny wings and moves like Superman, and he's flying.

Shi Ye's hand holding the guitar became tighter and tighter. He looked at the midsummer in the chasing light, and amidst the beating of his heart, he suddenly understood something.

Yes, we can sing like this till we die, just for this moment.

My hands create dreams for you, you fly into my world, I love you and be intoxicated by me, the world sweats and shouts for you at this moment, you are midsummer, you are summer, you are the hottest summer .

Sheng Xia panted slightly, covered in sweat, and finally said to the audience: "Thank you everyone."

"Drummer, Xiao thought."

"Bess, Zhong Zheng."

"Guitar, Shi Ye."

"My name is Sheng Xia." He bowed and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Thank you everyone, we are pilots."

Xiao Xiang held the drumstick tightly, smiled and cursed in a low voice: "Grass."

After stepping down, Shi Ye dragged Sheng Xia away in a hurry without stopping.

Shi Ye was in a hurry, he probably didn't know what he was in a hurry for.After the show was over, everyone saw him sweating profusely dragging Sheng Xia away from the backstage and getting into the car back to the hotel.

In the car, their hearts were beating rapidly, and they were still panting heavily. It seemed that they hadn't walked out of the stage just now, and they were still losing themselves in the music.

You can't ask a rock musician and singer to be enthusiastic only on stage, but calm and restrained in life, especially after a successful performance.

After returning to the hotel and entering the room, they began to sit.Shi Ye acted like crazy and put Midsummer... on the wall... as if he was venting some residual heat, for no reason, just hot, just wanted to kiss, check in, and hug him.

Life?what life is.

My life is a song, the words you bite between your teeth, and what you swallow is my life.I'm heaving, floating.We are all cowards when we are not on stage, we live on the opposite side of the world, we hate neatness and order, we are all lunatics, we sing and play the piano and beat the drums to jingle the daily life, so loud that we can't hear the world's ridicule.I need this outlet, you are my understanding, my muse, my epic.

You continue me, I understand you, you are my...only companion in this dirty world.
