Chapter 517: Guan Juer
"...In our magic city, in the wave that never stops; when you are a stranger, you gradually feel familiar; when there are tears, you also begin to smile; more eyes, less indifference; more sharing, less embarrassment; watch The city is changing every day; ask yourself if you are trying your best to catch up; the disappointment and longing in your heart are never mentioned; everyone has his own dream..."
Magic City is a city with a fast pace of life. People flowed in and out of the subway entrance. Only a few people noticed Shen Long, but everyone who heard it was moved by the lyrics. They gradually slowed down and started to stop and listen to this song. The song is so suitable for the city of Magic City, and the lyrics seem to be written into their hearts.
This song is called "Our Magic City" and it is a tourism promotion song for Magic City. The lyrics describe the struggles of the new generation of Magic City people, which naturally fits their state of mind.
When the song ended, many people gathered around Shen Long. When the last note fell, there was sparse applause, and some people took out coins from their pockets and threw them into the piano case.
"Thank you." Shen Long was sincerely happy to see his performance recognized. This shows that his singing has reached their hearts, which is the greatest recognition for a singer.
"The lyrics are very well written. It feels like they were written specifically for those of us who are working hard in Shanghai. Did you write this yourself?" asked a young girl.
This song was only released in 2016, a little later than the original novel was written, so no one in this world has heard of this song. Shen Long responded vaguely, and then asked, "You don't hear the accent?" Local? Where are you from?”
"Chang'an!" the girl replied. The magic city gathers elites from all over the country. Among the five girls in Ode to Joy, except Qu Xiaoxiao, who grew up locally, the other four are all outsiders, and the people listening to the songs around them are also Almost like that.
"Hey, we are still half fellow villagers." Shen Long said with a smile. Xie Bin was also from the northwest. He scratched his fingers on the strings twice, and then started a new prelude, "Then I will sing you another song from our hometown. Sing!”
"Life is gone, but the soul is still there; the soul is fading away, but my singing is still there; I sang all the way westward, singing all the sadness in my heart; I was born sad, but you made me strong; Chang'an, Chang'an, looking at the incompleteness in the distance, yesterday The tower of the city; shout a Qin opera and you will burst into tears..." This song is "Chang'an Chang'an" by Chang'an singer Zheng Jun.
A kind of long and simple yellow sand, as well as the heroic spirit of having a cup with history, awakened the girl's memories of her hometown. She recalled the ancient city wall she passed by every day when she was a child, and her grandfather who liked to go under the city wall and roar a few Qin operas after dinner. Thinking of the pasta her mother made for her... the corners of her eyes couldn't help but get wet for a moment.
Taking out a tissue to wipe her tears, the girl found that the more she looked at the singer in front of her, the more attractive she felt. A small impulse surged in her heart, and she wanted to ask for his contact information. Unfortunately, before she could speak, Shen Long turned around again. And when she communicated with the young man next to her, "...where are you from?...Chengdu, it's a great place, I like it very much..."
Then he gave him a song about Chengdu, "...the separation is always in September, and the memories are the sorrow of longing; the green weeping willows in late autumn kiss my forehead; in that rainy little town, I have never forgotten You; Chengdu, the only thing that cannot be taken away is you; take a walk with me on the streets of Chengdu, oh..."
I don’t know if this young man remembered the time he spent walking on the street with his girlfriend on the eve of his graduation from college and planned to come to Shanghai for development, and there was also a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes...
Life has to go on. After being moved, the girl and the boy put down their money and left. A new audience gathered around. This time there were even a few foreigners in the crowd. In an international metropolis like Shanghai, there are people everywhere. As a foreigner, Shen Long was not too surprised and asked about the origin of the blond girl in front of him as before.
"Liverpool? Ah, you must like this song." Besides the Red Army in football, the most famous people in Liverpool are the greatest rock band in history - The Beatles. Shen Long sang the Beatles' classic The track "Hey, Jude", "...Hey Jude, don't be afraid. (Hey Jude, don't be afraid.)..."
"Wow." The girl covered her mouth and exclaimed. She had heard this song since she was a child, and Shen Long's interpretation was spot on. As she listened, she began to hum along with Shen Long, "Nana, Na Nana Nana, Nana Nana… Hey, Jude!”
"I love you." The girl gave her a warm hug. Shen Long and her parted ways as soon as they touched each other. We only show off our skills, not our bodies.
"Where are you from? New York?" Shen Long strummed the guitar and started singing "New York Moment" by the Eagles. This time, it was the New York guy who hummed along.
It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and white-collar elites poured out of the surrounding office buildings and began to walk towards the subway entrance. They had finished a hard day's work and were ready to go home for dinner and a good rest.
When most people pass by Shen Long, they just glance at him and leave in a hurry. The work pressure in Shanghai is very high. After a busy day, people are exhausted both physically and mentally. They don't have much energy to enjoy the music anymore, but they still A few people who were either energetic or music-loving slowed down.
More and more people gathered around Shen Long, which somewhat affected traffic. The policeman not far away noticed this at the same time as Shen Long, so he put down his guitar and prepared to pack up and go back.
Firstly, so as not to affect the traffic, and secondly, it is estimated that those who went out to play should come back. They can go back to have a meal and rest for a while before starting the evening performance.
At this time, Guan Ju'er also came out of the office building. Andy had to go to the hospital for a check-up today and was not at work, so she couldn't hitchhike. She could only take the subway back to the Ode to Joy Community. When she was about to reach the subway entrance, She saw Shen Long in the crowd and was immediately stunned.
She has been avoiding Xie Bin's questions these days, and Shen Long has not contacted her. She did not expect to meet her on such an occasion.
Hey, isn't he a policeman? Why is he singing at the subway entrance? Guan Ju'er was full of doubts and subconsciously walked towards Shen Long.
Shen Long also saw Guan Ju'er, so he put away his guitar, stuffed the money in the piano case into his pocket, thanked the enthusiastic audience, and then separated from the crowd and walked towards Guan Ju'er, "Hi, I haven't seen you for a few days. Recently. How about it?"
"Xie Bin, why are you here?" Guan Ju'er couldn't help but ask.
