Pilot

Half a month ago, Shi Ye discovered that Sheng Xia was acting suspiciously.

Every time after the event, he would always sneak away in a hurry, and he would be vague when asked.Shi Ye was still angry for a while because of this incident, but he didn't say anything when he asked Sheng Xia, which made Shi Ye uneasily guess whether this person stole someone behind my back? ?

As a result, after following him one day, Shi Ye discovered that Sheng Xia came to the hospital, and the person Shi Ye knew, Xie Hong.

Quite a surprise.Shi Ye never thought that he would meet Xie Hong again in the hospital, and the other party was still so sick.

The doctor took a few sheets and talked to Xie Hong for a long time.Xie Hong's brother was also beside the hospital bed, and everyone looked very serious. It was difficult for Shi Ye and Sheng Xia to go in, so they could only stand outside the door and wait.

"Aren't we really going to tell Brother Gao Ce?" Sheng Xia poked his head in to see the doctor to check Xie Hong and explain the precautions, "I actually hesitated for a long time."

"The matter between her and Gao Ce is very complicated, we can't handle it." Shi Ye glanced inside, "She told you to keep it from me in order not to let Gao Ce know, she should be serious. I will talk to her later. Let's talk, let's talk."

After listening to the doctor's words outside the door for a while, Shi Ye and Sheng Xia's expressions became more and more ugly.

After the doctor left, Xie Hong's elder brother went out with him, and they went in.

Xie Hong, who was lying on the hospital bed, was in poor condition.She was wearing a hat, her skin was dry and yellow, and she looked exhausted.

Xie Hong caught a glimpse of Shi Ye, and smiled: "I'm a big fool, I said I don't want to see you, here it is again, are you annoying?"

She looked haggard, but her eyes were still bright and piercing.

For breast cancer, she had been suffering in the south for two months, and was transferred to a hospital in Beijing when she had no choice.

According to what...the doctor said just now, it means that staying up for a day is a day's work.

He was too busy with work before, so Shi Ye and Sheng Xia visited Xie Hong a few times, and they were undergoing chemotherapy several times.When Xie Hong was able to visit, he didn't have much strength to deal with them, so he hurriedly laughed and cursed and said he wanted to rest.

Shi Ye's mood was a little off.He stared at Xie Hong for a while, then closed his eyes: "...Sister Hong, let me tell Brother Ce."

Xie Hong looked very relaxed, even more relaxed than Sheng Xia and Shi Ye who were mourning.

"I've said it all. Whoever tells Gao Ce is against me, and I will hate you in the next life." Xie Hong glanced at Shi Ye, "I said that I will never see him again, even if I die. Won't."

Shi Ye covered his eyes and sighed.

It seems that he is always surrounded by some unique people, whether it is his parents, or Xie Hong and Gao Ce.Their logic runs counter to the world, and they forcefully live themselves into a script, which is weird and weird no matter how you look at it.Others laugh at them as crazy, and Shi Ye himself sometimes thinks they are crazy, but he can't blame anything.The world is so big, and they each have their own splendor. When you walk around the bustling world, how many people can meet someone who makes you feel worthy of being 'abnormal'.

Sheng Xia kept looking at Xie Hong.Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Shi Ye turned around, and then slowly handed the small bag in his hand to Xie Hong, "I bought it from the one you said."

A bag of donkeys rolling.

Xie Hong took it, looked at Sheng Xia and smiled, and asked, "Eat later. What else?"

Sheng Xia glanced at Shi Ye quietly again, and then slowly took out the cigarette and lighter from his pocket.

Shi Ye seemed to have eyes behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "Don't give it to her."

Xie Hong laughed haha: "Shi Ye, you are so ignorant. I'm going to die, what's the difference?"

In the end, Shi Ye and Sheng Xia had no choice but to help her up and set her up by the window, watching Xie Hong puff at the ginkgo that was starting to turn yellow outside.

"Fate is really unclear." Xie Hong's hand holding the cigarette was steady, but her words fluttered a little, "It's hard for the two of you to live like this. Shi Ye, if you knew that this would happen to you, four I probably wouldn't have called you that call years ago."

Shi Ye originally wanted to answer, but Sheng Xia interjected first: "It's hard for people to live, and everyone is facing the difficulties."

After hearing this, Xie Hong laughed, and asked Sheng Xia seriously again: "Shi Ye really didn't bully you, did he?"

Before Sheng Xia could speak, Xie Hong had already turned her head to stare at Shi Ye: "You are going to be a third person, don't lose your temper at others all day long, learn to love others. If you treat him badly, I won't be a ghost." Let you go, do you hear me?"

Shi Ye's face was gloomy, but he still replied: "I know, you don't have to worry about us."

"Teacher Shi Ye is very good," Sheng Xia added, "He let me."

"Why do you always call him teacher teacher? What's the fun?" Xie Hong frowned, and she looked at Sheng Xia, "This is too natural. And what he taught you, teacher teacher!"

Shi Ye replied forcefully: "I have taught him a lot, do you want to hear the details?"

Sheng Xia was sandwiched between the two of them, he panicked with embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject: "Sister Hong... drink water, you drink water."

They watched Xie Hong light a second cigarette.

Shi Ye endured it for a long time, and then said in a very dejected manner: "You delayed until this time... If I didn't come with you that day, are you planning to wait... and not tell us?"

Xie Hong turned her head to look at Shi Ye and smiled.

"I didn't intend to say it. Why are you holding your face?! Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal."

Shi Ye shook his head: "How could it be so sudden..."

"It wasn't sudden, it's been a long time. Half a year ago, I started to feel lumps on my chest, which made me uncomfortable, but I was on tour with a band at that time, so I didn't watch it in time." Xie Hong said the name of the band, "Then I'm too busy."

Shi Ye fell silent.

He knew that Xie Hong was on a tour and was the main organizer.That tour is very famous in the circle, after all, no one has done it before.There is a team that is going to do a national prefecture-level city tour that is not for profit. The original intention is to promote rock, popularize aesthetics, let people of different levels and education levels see good live rock, and help others during the tour .

This is no longer a tour. In the circle, everyone is more inclined to position it as a musical performance art.

The nature of the tour is actually similar to a charity tour. They go to schools, movie theaters, and various places to perform. While performing, they donate music equipment, love, and proceeds from performances in poverty-stricken areas.

In fact, many people in China have tried this model, but some well-known bands would not choose to do such a thankless thing, and few people persisted.The most important thing is that Xie Hong and the team set a very long cycle. They plan to travel to all the cities in the country, performing in the past one by one, running a marathon on the map of China from birth to death, and acting until hair To put it bluntly, you can’t walk anymore, you’re dead, and you stop when you’re sick.

This project will not be terminated voluntarily, but will only be terminated due to objective force majeure, such as Xie Hong's cancer.

How big is China?How many cities are there?

The team also revealed that according to their progress, if they want to complete more than 600 cities, it is conservatively estimated that it will take the team about ten to 20 years to end this somewhat utopian performance.The amount of work required for the tour is too large, far larger than imagined.If you want to ensure quality, you can't just watch the flowers on horseback.People need to rest, and the journey is still so long. After taking into account the necessary links, this number of days is calculated.

The first reaction of all insiders seeing this plan will be four words: Arabian Nights.

First of all, funding is a fatal problem.Doing cheap tours is a money-losing business. Things that don’t make money are not so easy to stick to. If the show is so open that the staff can’t afford food and tickets, then what’s the fun?

The band members may work with you for one year or two years with enthusiasm, but for so many years... it is really not so easy to promise.China is too big, and there is no easy way to finish it. Touring requires a lot of time, energy and money, and everyone will be exhausted because of the loss of enthusiasm.What's more, people's hearts are the easiest to change. They will follow you today, and they will follow money tomorrow.

This is simply an impossible plan.

Xie Hong's illness, in fact, is due to the hard work of touring in the past few years.She transferred the livehouse and took out all her belongings to work with that band, but in the end she was too tired and collapsed in Guangxi, and that band... Shi Ye heard that it was forced to disband and couldn't continue.

It seemed that Shi Ye had expected it.But he didn't know how to tell Xie Hong, you are so sick, is it worth it?

How old are you?I respect your choice, but if you leave because of this, I will blame your persistence and your ideals.

"When I mention that tour, I want to wake you up," Shi Ye said in a sarcasm, "I'm going to live a good life, but I want to go on that thankless tour."

He couldn't even tell why he was angry, he just felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"We have to talk about this as soon as we meet, are you tired, can you take care of the patient's mood?" Xie Hong twisted the cigarette, "Don't look at me like that, as if you think I'm crazy. The first day you met me?"

Shi Ye shook his head: "I think it's ironic for you to do this."

"I don't have time to satirize you, big star." Xie Hong shrugged, "I know many people don't understand me, many people say I'm stupid or pretending. Let me tell you Shi Ye, I'm actually the same as Gao Ce We all want to change something, but I don’t like the way he used, and he didn’t like the way I used, so I broke up with him at that time because I knew we couldn’t convince each other.”

"What the hell are you..." Shi Ye said excitedly, "Why are you so persistent? It's impossible to succeed. When you go on tour in those places, many people don't even know what rock and roll is. They don't even know whether you're playing a bass or a guitar. What's the point!"

"What's the point?!" Xie Hong raised her eyes and asked, "It's because they don't know the difference between a guitar and a bass, so it makes sense for us to do all this! Why can't cleaners and construction workers listen to the Velvet Underground and David Bowie? Yi, can't you hear a good performance? Shi Ye, you are popular and floating, don't you know what real life is like? Have you forgotten the old you and the old us? Someone always wants to stand Come out and try to change something, there will always be a little change if there is a subtle influence? I just want to let ordinary people feel this, let them know that music is not a dispensable luxury!!"

"Change? Are you still dreaming of changing the world? You can't manage yourself and you still manage others?" Shi Ye couldn't hold back and started yelling at Xie Hong, "Can you manage so many people? What do you look like now! You It's fucking late!!"

Xie Hong sent her gaze straight over, her eyes were hollow, so dark that it was a little creepy.

"I want to change something and leave something behind. You should understand. You should understand when we were still in Beijing." Xie Hong said lightly, "Everyone is equal, and I love everyone."

"How old are you and still believe this?" Shi Ye stared, "Why do you embarrass yourself, do others appreciate it? Does it make sense?"

"I'm not for anyone else, I've always been for myself. I don't like people who are rich or famous, and don't talk about meaning with me. I understand better than you." Xie Hong looked at Shi Ye , "Shi Ye, listen carefully, I was forced to admit defeat instead of taking the initiative to admit defeat. If I have memory in my next life, I will still do this."

Shi Ye's voice was tired: "Sister Hong..."

Xie Hong called him suddenly: "Ye Zi."

Shi Ye was startled when he heard this address, his lips moved, and he lowered his head.

Sheng Xia didn't dare to speak when they were passionately facing each other.After the air calmed down for a while, he looked at the two people in front of him, walked over to hold Shi Ye's hand, and held Xie Hong's with the other hand.

Shi Ye's hands were hot, while Xie Hong's were cold.

"I'm an idealist, and this life is just for dreaming." Xie Hong smiled easily, but there were tears in the corner of her eyes, "Don't be sad, I don't lose at all."
