Pilot

Niu Xiaojun stared at the dazed person opposite: "What are you thinking, nervous?"

When Shi Ye came back to his senses, he tugged at the collar of his shirt, "No. I was just thinking about what happened this summer, when it rained and the high temperature warning started, and the air conditioner was always on and I always felt bored."

Niu Xiaojun didn't answer this question, and began to ask: "This interview is very important, please don't talk nonsense later, and don't get emotional. You know the importance of Xu Jing's interview, anyway...you know what I mean."

"I always tell the truth." Shi Ye shrugged nonchalantly, then waved his hand to signal the makeup artist not to paint him, "And..."

Just as he was about to say something, he saw the door of the lounge open from the corner of his eye.

The person who walked in, Shi Ye, looked familiar.He was wearing a simple and clean shirt and jeans, with some green socks showing at his ankles. He seemed to have bad eyesight, and he was squinting to look for someone.

This is a person who gets upset when Shi Ye sees it, and gets upset just thinking about it when he doesn't see it.

As we all know, Shi Ye definitely doesn't want to stare at Shengxia all the time, but Shengxia always has a magical power that you can't pay attention to... For example, his colorful socks change every day, or the shirt he buttoned wrongly today hem...

Is it just me? ?Why didn't anyone remind this idiot?

Shi Ye frowned instantly, raised his chin and pointed at Sheng Xia, and asked Niu Xiaojun, "Why is this kid here?"

"Why is he here?" Niu Xiaojun raised his eyebrows, but he still wondered why Shi Ye asked this way, "It's the usual practice of pilots, as long as there is an event, everyone is present, at least watching from the sidelines, you have lost your memory and forgot your own decision." Are you following the rules, or are you still not admitting that Sheng Xia is a member of the band?"

Shi Ye was at a loss for words for a moment, and then said: "Today's occasion doesn't need to call everyone here."

That rule was indeed set by Shi Ye.Because he had more personal interviews and announcements than other members of the band, Shi Ye felt that this trend was not good, so he said that in the future, there will be activities together, no matter who does the work, at least there are family members, so they can hold the venue.At that time, everyone in the band was very harmonious, and no matter who had a job, they happily ran to join in the fun.

It's just that in the next few years, Shen Zui never appeared in that kind of group activities.

As soon as Sheng Xia entered the lounge, Xiao Xiang and Zhong Zheng behind him also entered.Xiao Xiang whistled at Shi Ye, didn't look at him again, and started chatting nonsense with Zhong Zheng, pulling Sheng Xia in front of him.

Shi Ye was still choking speechlessly, and the staff came over and called him: "Mr. Shi, are you ready? The camera is available as soon as we go out. If we can start, let's go."

Niu Xiaojun took the cup from Shi Ye's hand, and sighed inaudibly: "Let's go. You can't talk too much in your voice, remember to tell Xu Jing if you feel uncomfortable, take a break before continuing."

Shi Ye nodded, stood up, and walked towards the exit.

When he walked to the side of the band, Zhong Zheng patted Shi Ye's shoulder lightly, Xiao Xiang didn't move, she was still holding Sheng Xia in his arms and didn't know what he was talking about, and when Shi Ye looked over, he said: " Master Shi, come on, be as ruthless as usual, play normally, and let's have a drink when it's over."

"Drink you big-headed ghost," Niu Xiaojun spat at her, "You still want him to go to the hospital?"

Sheng Xia was being embraced by Xiao Xiang, feeling a little uncomfortable. He wanted to say something to Shi Ye at first, but Shi Ye looked at him strangely, and seemed to nod his chin at him... What a mess with that action Only confusion remained in Shengxia's mind, she was dizzy, and forgot everything she wanted to say.

Shi Ye looked at him for a long time, thinking that the kid could at least understand what he was looking at, but it turned out that he still overestimated Sheng Xia's IQ... Shi Ye sighed inwardly, pointed to the hem of Sheng Xia's clothes and said:

"Buttons, the bottom two, button them again."

In the next second, everyone's eyes turned to Sheng Xia... the hem of the clothes that were buttoned two wrongly.Xiao Xiang couldn't help laughing immediately.

Sheng Xia blushed, and hurriedly started to buckle again.

Shi Ye sighed inwardly, stopped looking at the child, turned his head and gave Niu Xiaojun a look to signal to start, and pushed the door open.

Xu Jing's program is an innovative live chat program, and the program invites some controversial leaders from all walks of life.Xu Jing herself is a very important media person in the industry. She likes to guide guests to express bold remarks with personal touch. This talk show is in-depth and classy, ​​which is one of the reasons why the company agreed to Shi Ye's interview.

There are four of them looking at his camera.

From the corner of his eye, Shi Ye followed the guidance of the nearby staff and entered the studio for the interview.Xu Jing was sitting inside. She had neat short hair, was dressed in black, and held a few pieces of paper in her hand.

Seeing him coming, Xu Jing stood up and shook hands with Shi Ye: "Meet you again."

After both of them sat down, Shi Ye nodded: "Yes. The last time we saw each other was a few years ago... an award ceremony, right? Back then you still had long hair, not so shabby."

"You were really sassy back then." Xu Jing looked at Shi Ye with a little appreciation, "Your image in front of the public has always been cool."

Shi Ye smiled: "It's not cool, after all, everyone has been young and frivolous, I just don't like to talk much."

Xu Jing smiled in her heart, thinking that you don't like to talk, and the few words you say occasionally can make you crazy, scaring people to death.

However, she had a faint feeling that today's Shi Ye was much calmer, and compared to the stern-eyed man she had seen at the awards ceremony a few years ago... a lot less irritating.

"That's because you have a capital madness." Xu Jing praised without hesitation, "I remember that year the Aviators just won the third most popular band award in the Mainland, and also won the most popular group in the Chinese chart. What else is the most popular? Best album sales... all kinds of group charts, awards, and your personal ones, I can't count them all. It was not that easy to interview you back then, everyone knew you didn't like being asked random questions."

Shi Ye: "I don't really like it now either."

"I know, I know." Xu Jing smiled, "Oh, you probably don't know, I'm afraid of interviewing you guys who play rock and roll, and I always feel that your next sentence will block me, so I can't continue talking today. When you came just now, a staff member asked me: Teacher Shi Ye is so handsome, why does he look so fierce! Is he so cool on and off stage?"

"If what I'm talking about doesn't waste time, I'm usually pretty easy to talk to." Shi Ye spread his hands, "I'm actually quite easy-going in my life."

"Yes, everyone is an ordinary person in life, but because you are facing the public, what everyone sees is your extraordinary side." Xu Jing tapped the interview draft in her hand, "After all, the band cannot be regarded as extraordinary. .”

"If I say we are ordinary, isn't it a bit too modest?" Shi Ye smiled, "Then it is not ordinary."

"Of course you don't need to be modest. You are known as the most promising youth rock band. Judging from the development momentum in the past few years, you have also achieved many enviable achievements. These are real."

But Shi Ye shook his head: "I don't think it's real, they are all fake. Fame, honor, applause, etc., you will understand after experiencing it, but it's actually not that desirable."

"Only you are qualified to say such things. The band is the only one in China to be a pilot." Xu Jing paused, "So I'm actually quite curious, do you think you are a star now, or Just musicians?"

Shi Ye thought for a while before saying: "In my mind, star is a very important word. At least it must be able to fit the pulse of the times and be able to influence the aesthetics of a generation, like... the Queen and the Beatles? What do you think?" Make me very panic.

In my opinion, the music industry is a medium to convey beauty and power, whether it is a band or an independent musician, no matter what type of music, it is the same.In the process of growing up, you may be loved by many people, but you may be trampled under by the public opinion in the next second... The term "star" is quite false in my opinion, only songs can be truly left behind. "

Xu Jing nodded: "So you mean, you don't consider yourself a star, but define yourself as a musician?"

"I don't want to define myself," Shi Ye smiled, "I don't think there is anything that can define me. Those you mentioned... rock stars, musicians, guitarists, songwriters...these labels are just some of my life Slicing doesn't mean much to me, and I don't want to be defined by a few thin words."

Xu Jing looked at Shi Ye: "It's strange. Since my last interview with you... 5 years or 4 years ago? I always feel that you seem to be a different person. You used to be very sharp, and your mouth always seemed like There is a knife, which is extremely powerful. But now... I think you seem to have found a scabbard for yourself, wrapped yourself up, and are not so sharp."

Shi Ye was looking down at the tattoo on his finger, but he raised his head and smiled when he heard the words, his tone was still casual: "People will change. If I am still as sharp as before, it can only prove that I have been stagnant."

Xu Jing nodded: "In fact, you have inspired many young people to dream about music. You did a lot of music column programs in the early days, introduced music types by category, and popularized aesthetics... I am ashamed to say that the first punk I listened to was watching Your video back then was Amway. You gave dreams to many young people. Many people wanted to stand on the stage like you and be shouted encore by thousands of people. Copy the lyrics you wrote in a diary and learn your chords... ..."

Sheng Xia outside the door felt a little uncomfortable listening to Xu Jing's Mandarin with a perfect accent.

Probably because Shi Ye said in the next sentence: "Those who want to see me as a dream, just like the part about my music is enough... Someone reminded me before, and I have learned a lesson. If the dream is true When it comes to reality, it’s easy for people to lose everything.”

Xu Jing's eyes lit up: "It sounds... feels like there is a story?"

Shi Ye just smiled and shook his head: "There is nothing, I won't lie to you."

Yes.

Sheng Xia repeated in her heart: nothing.

Nothing is left.

The interview basically revolved around Shi Ye's life.Finally, after chatting and chatting, I jumped to that unpleasant topic.

"Why don't you talk about the recent public opinion?" Xu Jing poured some tea for Shi Ye, her tone was still casual, "I think everyone should be very curious about your current situation. It is said that you are a dictator in the band. The current situation, and the rumors of the deceased lead singer's intoxication... Do you think those true and false statements are misunderstandings for you?"

Shi Ye was actually a little absent-minded.

He is not a person who is used to revealing his heart to others. He can't really handle this kind of situation with ease. The expression itself is easy to be misunderstood. He is not good at this kind of direct expression and self-exposure.

"As a matter of fact... as long as you are placed in front of the public, you cannot escape the fate of being misunderstood." Shi Ye spoke slowly, "Intoxication is a pity for pilots, and it is also a pity from my personal emotional point of view. It's a pity. I actually don't want to judge any more about him. It's not fair to him, and it's not fair to the pilot. He did something wrong, but the consequences should not be borne by the pilot."

"Since Shen Zui joined the band four years ago, there have been a lot of controversies." Xu Jing carefully chose her words, her tone a bit regretful, "If you think about it now, would you regret letting Shen Zui join the Pilots band four years ago?"

Shi Ye used to be the lead guitar of the Pilots band.Four years ago, his vocal cords were injured and he couldn't continue to sing. In desperation, the band joined the lead singer Shen Zui.

"I haven't regretted everything that happened in my life," he said hoarsely, "that incident taught us a lesson for all of us in the band, but we won't stagnate and we won't change because of it. The attitude of making music has become hesitant, and I don’t need to be haunted by regrets for the rest of my life and give up the future, do you think so?”

Xu Jing was taken aback by Shi Ye's gaze.

"You have always been like this, and you have never hesitated about yourself." Xu Jing couldn't help but sigh, "I thought you would be greatly affected, and I looked down on you."

Shi Ye said every word firmly: "Music that looks forward and backward is lifeless, and so is life. The pilot will not change, and I am still the same Shi Ye."
