The audience was in chaos. Xiaochuan stared blankly at the panicked crowd, feeling like a monster. Pain spread from the bottom of his heart. Da Ya rushed to the stage crying.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, he got a strange disease and aged like this overnight!
Please, let him sing, music is his life, the last scene, woo woo woo!"
Da Ya couldn't speak any more, so she covered her mouth and bent down. The audience was silent again. Tie Jun clenched his fists, ready to go on stage to save Xiaochuan at any time.
At this time, the band's guitarist walked up to Xiaochuan, lowered his head and said, "Achuan, do you still remember me? Prairie Eagle."
Ogawa raised his head and looked at the guitarist carefully. Soon, a smile appeared on his face.
"Are you the big guy from Inner Mongolia? Where is your brother Ermao?"
"Achuan, I'm here, I'm learning drums instead!"
The drummer also stood up and waved to Dong Xiaochuan.
"Achuan, let's talk about old times later!"
After Da Mao finished speaking, he took off Ogawa's guitar, faced the confused audience in the audience, and raised the guitar high, with a gold star shining on the head of the guitar.
"Friends, do you know what this Yamaha with a gold star engraved on it represents to guitar players?"
The crowd in the audience shook their heads collectively. There were actually guitar players. They had only touched red cotton. Who knew about Yamaha, let alone one with a gold star!
“Represents the highest honor and the highest palace!
I have been playing guitar for 4 years, and Agawa has been playing for 8 years!
I haven't seen a guitar yet, but Achuan has already played all the guitars such as Lark, Phoenix, Kaiser, and Jinque.
I believe there must be some guitar players among you, so you must know these two professors Chen Zhi and Liu Tianli.
That’s right, one established the ‘Chengzhi Guitar School’ and the other published guitar teaching courses.
Ah Chuan is their most proud disciple and the gold medal winner of the first guitar competition. This piano, this gold star, is the testimony!
I have said all this just to tell you that you are very lucky to not only enjoy the master’s performance, but also hear his singing!”
After Da Mao finished speaking, he solemnly put the guitar on Dong Xiaochuan's chest. Dong Xiaochuan hugged Da Mao with a look of gratitude on his face.
"Sing, sing enough, play enough, I will accompany you!"
"I'll accompany you too!"
"And me!"
"Achuan, I'll send you 10 flower baskets, and you can sing!"
...
One person started, and everyone followed to support him. Tie Jun loosened his hand and let out a sigh of relief.
Da Ya cried and bowed, and Peach Blossom also started to cry. Thinking of Dachun and herself, the feeling of sharing the same fate enveloped her heart.
This night became a special performance for Xiaochuan and Daya. They sang until midnight, when Xiaochuan sat down on the stage, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Tiejun and Taohua walked onto the stage, and several members of the band also gathered around them. Daya helped Xiaochuan stand up.
"Tie Jun, let me introduce to you. The four of them are all from Inner Mongolia. Your eldest brother's friend, this is..."
"Boss, let's do it ourselves!"
Da Mao was obviously the captain and said with a smile, Tao Hua nodded.
"I am guitarist Li Ying, my nickname is Da Mao."
"I am the drummer Li Xiaojun, nicknamed Ermao, and we are brothers."
"I am Xiaodong, the bass king."
"I'm Tutu, the keyboardist."
Tie Jun shook hands one by one and introduced himself: "My name is Tie Jun, I am Da Ya's brother and I am from Bingcheng. You and Xiaochuan?"
"Oh, I met Da Mao and Er Mao once."
Ogawa took the conversation with a smile, and then talked about their chance encounter.
Ogawa is considered a pioneer in pop music. In the mid-1980s, he traveled around with his guitar on his back. When he arrived in Guangzhou, he joined a small performance organization called Pop Style.
From then on, I went everywhere and quickly got to know all kinds of musicians, and also came into contact with several rock bands.
At that time, the division was very clear. Guangzhou was the window for pop music, and singers from all over the country went to Guangzhou.
Those who play rock music are a different kind, and most of them are concentrated in Beijing. The typical gathering place is a small village in the northern suburbs called Shucun.
It's a very run-down place with muddy roads, mountains of garbage, and dilapidated houses, but it's home to a group of passionate rock and roll youths from other places.
There are hundreds of these people, and there are nearly 20 formed bands. The reason why they gather here is because there is China's first rock school called Midi.
In Shucun, there are a large number of bands that play heavy metal, hardcore rap and other bands. To put it bluntly, they are loud and noisy music.
Therefore, people call those who paint hooligans, and those who play rock music are called madmen.
Unlike later generations, parents particularly support their children playing music, and some even spend money to train them.
This was not the case in the 1980s, especially when rock music was played. Let alone support, it was simply violent suppression, which forced those rebellious children out of the house.
Playing in a band is the most expensive. For their own ideals, these young people have to save money and live in extreme poverty.
They jokingly call rehearsals work. The time to go to work is basically around two o'clock in the afternoon, with four or five people crowded into a small room of a few square meters.
The cabin is surrounded by soundproof quilts, making it feel like a sauna in summer and a cellar in winter. In this way, they can persevere.
At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, if they can find work, they will go to the performance. They have a power strip and two speakers. Even if the performance is high-end, some places cannot plug in electricity.
For a performance, one person can get a few dozen yuan, and when the show is over, they can squeeze into a van and go back to the village. After paying for travel expenses and food, they can still have more than 20 yuan left.
It seems okay, but in fact, there are too few people to invite them. In a place like a dance hall, two rock songs are okay, but if there are more, it will be too noisy.
To sum it up, many people couldn't hold on and went south to make money halfway. The remaining ones became famous bands later on.
The acquaintance of Ogawa and Damao happened in Shucun, which originated from the "Stubble Qin". Anyone who has watched the 1985 "Roadside Guitar Team" knows that "Stubble Qin" is also a fashion.
In the late 1980s, there was a saying in the music circle that "there is Lao Wu in the north and Lao Zai in the south", which refers to the two guitar masters.
The fifth child was Liu Yijun from the Tang Dynasty Band, and the younger brother was Wu Liqun, who later became a famous music producer.
Ogawa is also a master of guitar, but he has been playing tricks for many years. He became famous as singer Achuan, and basically ignored his guitar.
In the summer of 1988, Xiaochuan happened to be in Beijing. Hearing the name Lao Wu, he felt dissatisfied and found Shucun the next day.
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Wu was not at home, and the courtyard door was open. Xiaochuan simply held the piano and sat on the threshold to show off his fingering skills.
By chance, Brother Da Mao also came, not to play Qin, but to learn skills from Lao Wu. Moreover, they were not the only ones who came to learn skills, there were several others.
