After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 465

"In the jungle of steel and concrete, in the hustle and bustle of life, calculating the gap between dreams and reality"

Jiang Yizhou is a farmer's child. He started working outside the home at the age of 17. He is 32 years old this year. For more than ten years, he has wandered in 4 cities, moved bricks on construction sites, worked as a waiter in KTV, as a delivery boy in a restaurant, and in a record company. Worked as a handyman and an extra on set.
As written in the lyrics, after bidding farewell to his student days, he has been living in the reinforced concrete forest, in a life of exchange.

It is full of ups and downs, bitterness and hotness, and you know how to feel warm and cold.

Becoming a professional singer is his dream. He had several chances to sign with record companies, but in the end he just missed out on one reason, image!

It's not about being ugly at all, but about being old-fashioned, so old-fashioned that it's a bit vulgar.

It runs counter to the most important element of pop music: trendy.

With repeated setbacks and a little bit of age, the persistence and resilience gradually fade away, not because the dream is no longer there, but to face the reality.

As written in the lyrics, I calculated the gap between dream and reality, but found that it was far away day by day.

After the age of 28, every time he called home, his parents would urge him to go home, marry a wife and have children, but he always put it off again and again because he wanted to make more money for his wife. Clearly, that was just an excuse, the real reason was that once he returned to the countryside, his dream would be completely shattered!

Although he knew that his dream was out of reach, he just couldn't convince himself to really give up. Every night, when he came to the bar, stepped on the stage, and showed his voice, he would feel his heart beating faster and his blood boiling faintly.

".Every night in the wilderness of music, it turns into a giant roaring wildly. On the endless stage, on the other side of the unknown, it emits the dignity of life and self."

This lyrics is the truest portrayal of Jiang Yizhou's heart!
In Jiang Yizhou's opinion, the song "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle" is not only tailor-made for him, but the lyrics are written based on his wandering life in the past ten years.

When singing, there is an unforgettable true feeling in the plain voice.

The noisy noise in the bar subsided unknowingly, and the guests were deeply affected by his singing, and their expressions were moved.

".I'm ugly but I'm gentle. I'm cold on the outside and fanatical on the inside. That's me. I'm ugly but I have music and beer. I'm humble and cowardly but I never shrink back."

In the last paragraph, Jiang Yizhou's explosive high-pitched voice tinged with a bit of roar, which made people's hearts vibrate and goosebumps unconsciously aroused.

When the singing fell, Jiang Yizhou burst into tears, his old-fashioned face became a little ugly, but he was greeted by applause and cheers.

Many guests stood up and clapped their hands vigorously. Many guests rubbed the corners of their eyes, and there were sparkles in their eyes. Many guests clenched their fists emotionally, and their faces flushed.
Mo Fei squinted his eyes and took a sip of the wine slowly, then suddenly looked sideways at Li Kai, exhaled, and said, "Did you write this song for him?"

Li opened his head and smiled, "How do you feel?"

Murphy hummed: "Not bad."

It is very rare to get a good evaluation from Mo Fei, but Li Kai was a little dissatisfied, and asked: "Then do you think it is possible to convert considerable sales?"

After all, he added: "This song is just a non-main song."

Mo Fei looked at Li Kai, was silent for a moment, and said three words lightly: "It's hard to say."

Li Kai blinked: "It's hard to say, I remember what you said just now, it was only recognized by the circle, not by the public."

Seeing the playful arc of Li's open mouth, Mo Feidai frowned, and after a while, they relaxed again, and turned her face away silently.

Li Kai shook his head and smiled when he saw this, he stopped holding on and took a sip from his wine glass.

Next, Jiang Yizhou covered the song "Norwegian Forest" in Li Kai's album. After singing three songs, he promoted his new album a few words, and then left the stage amidst applause and cheers like boiling oil.

At the same time, Li Kai also got up and went to the bathroom. Just as Mo Fei said, the five kinds of wine mixed have great stamina, which is not ordinary. Although it is still far from drunk, his head is already a little dizzy, and his feet are a little floating .

Swaying through the crowd, the bathroom was still a few steps away. Suddenly, a chubby figure came out of it, and Li Kai almost bumped his head into his arms.

"You don't have eyes when you walk!" Before Li Kai said anything, the other party cursed viciously.

"If you have the guts to talk about it" Li Kai, who was already drinking a little bit, became angry when he heard the scolding, he clenched his fists and looked over with cold eyes.

However, the next moment, Li Kai froze, his clenched fists loosened, and the other party was also stunned, and the cruelty on his face dissipated instantly.

"Ah brother, why are you here?"

"You opened this bar, you can come and I can't?"

"Uh, that's not what I meant."

"I think that's what you mean."

"."

The other party was Xue Bing's good friend when he was working in the capital. Later, Fatty and Xue Bing followed Li Kai to Shenzhen City. After Huacan was established, he served as the security manager.

In private, Li Kai and Xue Bing ate, played billiards, played game consoles, and called Fatty two or three times out of five, and they were already very familiar with each other.

However, when Fatty faced Li Kai, he was a bit cautious. He couldn't be as casual as Xue Bing, so there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the friendship between Xue Bing and Li Kai was formed when they were students, and Fatty knew Li Kai At that time, Li Kai was already a rookie king in the music scene. To use an Internet slang, the two are people from different worlds.
Li Kai choked on the fat man jokingly, seeing the bitter expression on the latter's face, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and thumped the fat man's shoulder: "Move away quickly, buddy is urgent to urinate."

The fat man laughed dryly, and was about to move, when Li Kai suddenly let out a gasp, and reached out to grab a transparent plastic jar in the fat man's hand. Inside was densely packed, half the size of a thumb, colorful thousand paper cranes.

Li Kai held the plastic jar and shook it in front of his eyes for a while, then looked at the fat man, looking up and down, he didn't notice before, the fat man's hair was set with pomade, he was dressed in a well-fitting suit, and when he met privately on weekdays, he wore loose casual clothes and was slovenly looks quite different.
Feeling Li Kai's strange gaze, the fat man was embarrassed, his chubby face flushed slightly.

"Fatty, be frank and lenient, you are not a rabbit eating grass by the side of the nest, are you?" Someone came out from the bathroom, Li Kai pulled the fatty to the side, with a playful look.

The fat man immediately understood that the rabbit eating the grass by the side of the nest referred to the relationship between Shen Guanchang and Shen Jing. Although it was not officially made public, Hua Can was well aware of it.

"No."

"Really not?"

"Not really."

Seeing the fat man shaking his head like a rattle, he almost pointed to the lamp as an oath, Li opened his palms and held up the plastic jar and said, "Then what's the situation? Don't tell me, you folded it for yourself."

The fat man's face turned even redder, and he didn't answer for a long time.

Li opened his eyes and laughed very vividly: "The girl gave it to you, or are you going to use this to confess your love to the girl?"

The fat man was a little speechless: "I, Brother Zhang, uh, it's not what you think."

"What's that like?"

"I"

"I guess, it's your boy who confessed his love to other girls, isn't it?"

Seeing that the fat man didn't make a sound, Li Kai knew he guessed it right: "Where is the man, take me to have a look and see how your kid looks."

Normally, Li Kai is not such a person who likes to come and go, but now that he is drinking, the gossip and bad taste in his heart are much stronger.

Seeing the troubled expression on Fatty's face, Li blinked and said, "Isn't it possible that you just took aim tonight, kid?"

The fat man immediately shook his head: "No, we've known each other for almost half a month."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed his hands together and said falteringly: "Well, brother Zhang, to be honest, I don't know what to do, why don't you wait, if it works, I'll take her over to toast you later, if it doesn't work, Don't look at my jokes."

After hearing this, Li Kai pointed at him: "Is it okay for you to have a little confidence in yourself, can you still succeed in confessing?"

The fat man's face was full of bitterness. What is confession can be successful? If this thing is 100%, the world will not be in chaos.

Li Kai looked at him, shook the plastic pot and said, "Did you fold these, or did you buy them?"

"I folded it myself."

"Yo, I didn't see that, you big and thick guy, you have pretty good hands."

"."

"How many in total?"

"A thousand."

"If you discount one for every 3 minutes, that's 3 minutes, 50 hours. You've known her for half a month, and the average discount is 4 hours a day. That's fine."

Li opened his mouth and said: "Fatty, it seems that you have really moved your heart towards this girl."

The fat man's face was hot, and he coughed dryly twice, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Okay, since you are serious, brother, I will definitely help you and give you an assist. I want to solve it, wait for me."

Li Kai returned the plastic jar stopper to the fat man, and strode into the bathroom.

From the heart of the fat man, he didn't want Li Kai to assist him. This is like the taboo in weddings that the bridesmaid is more beautiful than the bride, it's human nature.

However, since Li Kai asked him to wait, it was impossible for him to just run away and stand there bitterly.

Not long after, Li Kai came out shaking his hands that were still wet after washing. Before the fat man could say anything, he waved his hand and led the way.

The fat man followed up reluctantly and came to the booth. He was taken aback when he saw Murphy, and then nodded.

Although Mo Fei didn't put on an ugly makeup that even her mother couldn't recognize like the day he came to Shenzhen City, but he had painted eye shadow and some freckles on his face. Under the dim light of the bar, a fat man who didn't know Mur Fei , it is naturally impossible to recognize who it is.

Murphy looked at the fat man, with a neither salty nor dull expression, and nodded back.

But Li Kai didn't introduce each other for the two of them, just grabbed an empty glass, poured half a glass of wine and handed it to the fat man: "Taste how this wine tastes."

The fat man took a sip slowly. Since he didn't know the quality of wine, his face was slightly moved. It was like a dish, whether it was delicious or not, everyone from ordinary people to gourmets would have a judgment.

"Good wine."

"That is, it is a mixture of five kinds of wine in proportion. It is the exclusive recipe of the top bartender in the top bar in Beijing. I paid a lot of tuition to learn it secretly."

As Li Kai said, he grabbed the half-remaining jug and handed it over: "Wine represents a man's taste, and this is my first assist for you."

The fat man was very moved, and he was not polite. After taking it, he nodded his thanks.

Li Kai pointed to the stage with his hand again: "The second assist, wait for you to say hello to the bar manager. During the rotation of the resident singers, I will go up and sing a song. You can find a chance to confess your love during my singing. It can increase by one or two percent."

The fat man was surprised: "Sing, which song?"

Li Kai said: "The name is "Thousand Paper Cranes", which is tailor-made for your confession."

The fat man was stunned, and without waiting for him to say anything, Li Kai patted him on the shoulder: "Brother can only help you so much, if you still can't hug the beauty back, it can only mean that you two are destined No score."

The corner of the fat man's mouth twitched, he hesitated to speak, but when he saw Li sitting down with his buttocks open, he ignored him, and finally nodded silently.

After the fat man left, he saw the plastic jar full of paper cranes in the fat man's hand, and Mo Fei, who heard the conversation between Li Kai and the fat man, took the initiative to ask about it. Li Kai did not hide anything and told the situation.

"You are quite enthusiastic, and you are old for a month."

Mo Fei's voice paused: "It was your idea to fold a thousand paper cranes to express love to girls?"

Li Kai waved his hand: "It wasn't my idea, it was Fatty's wish, and I only helped him because of his sincerity."

Murphy said oh, squinted his eyes and took a sip of his wine, but didn't say anything else.

After more than 20 minutes, a female singer finished singing, bowed slightly, and left the stage amidst not too warm applause.

According to the rules of the bar, after a resident singer finishes singing, there is usually about a quarter of an hour of vacancy before the next resident singer takes the stage. During this vacant time, guests who are willing to show off their singing skills can go on stage, of course it is not free. A song needs to pay 100 yuan.

During this time, Huacan arranged for its singers to come to the bar to sing almost every day. Fatty, as the security manager, accompanied the singers here every now and then, and he was already familiar with the bar manager.

I said hello before, and the bar manager even waived the 100 yuan fee when he heard that he was Fatty's friend.

After waiting for the female singer, the master of ceremonies announced: "Next, I will invite the friends in booth 11 to bring you a piece of "Thousand Paper Cranes."

The title of the song is very unfamiliar, most of the guests didn't respond, what to do, but there is a scattered stage area, a scattered stage near the corner, a woman sitting on a high stool, after hearing the name of the song, she couldn't help but Startled for a moment, then lowered his eyes silently, his eyes fell on the palm of his left hand, on a transparent glass jar, inside the jar were hundreds of small origami cranes.

Opposite her, the fat man's expression suddenly became tense, he picked up the wine glass with his right hand and took a big sip, while his left hand, which was hidden under the table, was also holding a transparent jar on the palm, inside the jar was also a thousand paper cranes, colorful , the number is more, there must be hundreds or thousands.
