After Sui Qingchi left, all Xifeng's performance activities stopped. Tan Si briefly explained the situation on Xifeng's Weibo, and the fans were shocked, but Sui Qingchi's fans quickly accepted, and Xifeng's fans But it is unacceptable.
Sui Qingchi's personal Weibo became a battlefield. Sui Qingchi didn't come out to respond to this incident, and fans fought on his last Weibo. When the three of them were eating together, they saw a fan of Xifeng yelling at Sui Qingchi as a traitor on Weibo. AK relieved his anger and said, "Good scolding!" It was Sui Qingchi's Weibo on the screen, and the first hot comment was "Traitor, I hope you will remember these two words for the rest of your life", and he suddenly couldn't take it anymore.
Tan Si asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Cuo put down his chopsticks and stood up: "I'm full, eat slowly."
AK blinked: "How much do you eat, how can you be full? Hey, where are you going?"
Fu Cuo was too tired to answer, so he went to the counter and paid.
The news of recruiting a new lead singer has also been sent out for a while. During this period, three lead singers came, but Fu Cuo always felt that he was not satisfied, so he didn't say anything. When I went to the bar that day, there was a tall young man with a guitar bag and a red T-shirt standing at the entrance of the bar. Come on, sit there in a proper manner and watch the bartenders clean the bar and the bar, looking a little shy, Fu Cuo thought that this is a completely different type from Sui Qingchi, Sui Qingchi would not wander carefully at the door for most of the day, When he helped them save the scene, no matter what the staff said, he broke in to meet them. There are more than five billion people in the world. He is the protagonist. He doesn't take others seriously, and he never knows what it is stage fright.
He walked over and patted the other person on the shoulder, and said, "Dylan?"
The boy stood up immediately. His stature was about the same as Sui Qingchi's, but his body was obviously thinner and thinner. Only then did Fu Cuo notice that the red T-shirt on the boy's body turned out to be a white skull of the same style.
The gloomy and arrogant bones, surrounded by withered roses, that gorgeous and murderous style, actually don't match the boy's temperament at all.
Seeing him paying attention to his clothes, Dylan also looked down and said with a smile, "I passed by the mall that day, and I saw this T-shirt of the same style as Brother Qingchi was on sale, so I bought it."
This dress is still on sale after so long, Fu Cuo thought to himself, Sui Qingchi had a fight with someone before and tore a red T-shirt he liked a lot, and after he got stitches from the hospital, he said vehemently "I'm not afraid of fighting, but I'm sorry for the clothes", which made him speechless: "You regret the clothes, don't you regret your head?"
Sui Qingchi was wearing his shirt at that time, holding the red T-shirt in his hand, he held it up and said, "If this dress is torn, it will be finished. If you cut my head, I can't finish it."
"You can't finish it, but others will worry."
"Who?" Sui Qingchi asked.
He glanced at Sui Qingchi beside him, knowing that he was asking the question knowingly, but Sui Qingchi had an innocent face, and opened his eyes curiously, as if he really didn't know.
"Sui Qingchi," he said, "You're pretending to be stupid."
Sui Qingchi laughed, threw the red T-shirt over his shoulders, pointed to his ears, and said, "Captain, your ears are especially red when you're shy."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and walked to the front. Fu Cuo still remembers that smile. From the age of fifteen to twenty, during the five years of being together, Sui Qingchi learned the most natural smile. Sui Qingchi's smile always left him unsatisfied, maybe because he always turned his head halfway through the smile, and seemed to have to leave when the smile was the brightest.
Later, Sui Qingchi bought the skull T-shirt, not because the skull was cool, but because the red color was very similar to his old unforgettable former T-shirt, and it happened to be on sale.
How long has Sui Qingchi been gone? He subconsciously calculated, and today is the fifty-fourth day.
Dylan obviously likes Sui Qingchi very much. Fu Cuo listened to the other party sing "Beautiful", and could feel Sui Qingchi from his singing and the typhoon, but after all, it was just a superficial imitation. Even AK and Tan Si couldn't help laughing.
After giving Dylan a few words of encouragement, they still politely rejected each other. After Dylan left, Fu Cuo was packing up the speakers, and AK stammered behind his back: "I think, Brother Cuo, you still can't set your goals too high..."
He said it very euphemistically, Fu Cuo couldn't understand what he meant, and nodded with his back to the two: "I know."
That day AK said he wanted to lose weight, so they walked across the bridge again. The sidewalk on the bridge was not wide enough for three people to walk side by side. In the past, AK and Tan Si always walked in front, and he and Sui Qingchi followed behind, although Sui Qingchi was not very good. Talking, but there is still a strong sense of existence in his memory, because even when he is not talking, he seems to pay attention to him, and he will notice that he lowers his head and laughs when he hears AK finish a certain joke, or looks at the river Eyes are empty, or a gust of cold wind blows, turn around and ask him "is it cold", then hold his hand and put it in his pocket, or, on a midsummer night, when AK and Tan Si are busy arguing and bickering Suddenly, I said "I'll carry the guitar bag for you"...
"In the past two days, many people on Weibo have been asking about the album," Tan Si said, "The re-recording of the album can be done in a short while, and now we haven't even found a new lead singer, so we should tell the fans. "
Tan Si's voice interrupted Fu Cuo's thoughts, yes, it's time to give an accurate number, some Xifeng fans have already blamed Sui Qingchi for not releasing the album. Fu Cuo knew that these fans might not really want this album, they just wanted Sui Qingchi to be responsible for it. Sui Qingchi's physique may really be problematic. He hasn't been on Weibo yet, and he hasn't responded to those comments that questioned and cursed him. Fifty-four days have passed, and Xifeng's fans still seem to be immersed in the emotion of being ruthlessly abandoned by him. Hate him to the core. Even though Sui Qingchi has many fans and blood, but a hundred words of "I love you" are no match for the power of one sentence of "I hate you".
Fu Cuo said: "Let's release the album."
AK happily said: "No re-recording?"
"No re-recording." Fu Cuo said.
Tan Simo glanced at him silently, and AK patted Fu Cuo on the shoulder in relief: "Brother Cuo, you finally figured it out!"
Fu Cuo didn't speak.
AK became worried again: "But do Sui Qingchi's fans think that we are relying on him to collect money?"
Fu Cuo pondered for a while: "I have an idea, do you think it works?"
Tan Si and AK asked in unison: "What?"
"We only release 1,000 copies of the album, and we don't make money."
Tan Si froze for a moment, then nodded: "I have no objection."
AK sighed: "Okay, I'll admit it this time, but it's okay if we don't make money, but Sui Qingchi doesn't make money, so what's the matter, his fans will definitely go crazy again!"
"Then count his share, and we will calculate the rest at cost price." Fu Cuo said.
"Oh, that brother, you are at a loss. Brother Tan and I just played drums and bass, and you composed, arranged, and produced... In the end, it was like helping Sui Qingchi make an album. Maybe we How to do it Sui Qingchi's fans will be nitpicking... "
"That's their business, we just have a clear conscience."
In the evening, Fu Cuo sent Sui Qingchi a WeChat message: The album will be released as planned, and I will transfer the proceeds to you when the time comes. Do you have any comments
Sui Qingchi didn't reply. Fu Cuo put down his phone, he expected it.
The master tapes and sample discs of the album are ready-made, and the production of 1,000 copies is very fast. The news that the album will be released finally took away part of the focus on Sui Qingchi, so that everyone understands that Sui Qingchi only completed the album. go. Fu Cuo edited a five-minute audition audio and released it on Weibo. He didn't know what the consequences would be. After listening to these works, those fans who cursed Sui Qingchi would resent Sui Qingchi's departure even more, and still miss him The beauty of being here.
This audition audio has been reposted thousands of times, and the harvest is more regret and blessing. The stone in Fu Cuo's heart finally fell to the ground. Sui Qingchi may have various problems, but Sui Qingchi's singing is like a delicate work of art, it cannot evoke any evil. No matter how much you hate him, there's nothing you can do to scold him while he's singing.
Contradictory, yet charming.
Isn't that what he is
Xifeng's first album sold out within a second that night, and Sui Qingchi's Weibo finally became quieter. Fu Cuo put down his cell phone and lay on his back on the bed. The same light was still gliding slowly across the ceiling, but only the quilt was covering him, nothing else. He was still not used to it.
When he can’t fall asleep, he will repeat this album and listen to Sui Qingchi singing about the love that never changes. At first, he finds it ironic, but his voice is so real, without any hypocrisy. Slowly you I can’t help but trust him again, like believing in the protagonist in a movie. I feel emotional for him and become obsessed. Sui Qingchi is an actor. "The lead singer of Xifeng" and "Fu Cuo's boyfriend" are the roles he has played. You can't just because of him He is going to play other roles now, and he blames him for not being devoted enough to acting.
The coincidence of Xifeng and Sui Qingchi may be destined to be only once, because Sui Qingchi is too perfect, so you can't help but resent his abandonment, but there is no doubt that no matter where he goes at the next stop, he has already put the best The youthful years stayed in West Wind.
It has been two months since Sui Qingchi left, and he hasn't even returned to CTR Academy. Fu Cuo doesn't know what he thinks, what his agent thinks, which makes him seriously doubt whether this company can give His best development.
Later, he transferred the proceeds from the album to Sui Qingchi, but Sui Qingchi didn't accept it. Fu Cuo had expected it earlier, so he contacted Liu Mei and asked her to transfer it to Sui Qingchi. Still going back to CTR for class
Liu Mei didn't answer him until the next day: look at himself.
Saying is tantamount to not saying.
Xifeng resumed his once-a-week resident singing in the bar, and Fu Cuo temporarily worked as a part-time lead singer. He came to the bar to sing on this day, and AK brought a shocking news: Banana Fish disbanded.
Guitarist M moved to another band, the drummer didn't plan to play anymore, and Loki was preparing for the judicial exam, so He Bin simply disbanded Banana Fish.
Fu misheard it and only found it ironic.
AK leaned on the chair and sighed: "That guy M, why did he have the nerve to laugh at us?"
Tan Si sat there thinking for a long time, and finally asked: "Then, is He Bin willing to join us?"
He Bin became the new lead singer of Xifeng by accident. Banana Fish’s style is quite different from Xifeng’s. Banana Fish is more metallic, so He Bin’s singing has always had a metallic voice. I wonder if He Bin is suitable for singing Sui Qingchi's songs, but it turns out that excellent lead singers can control various styles. He Bin's voice is more hoarse and magnetic, and the range is naturally not as wide as Sui Qingchi's. Sui Qingchi is completely different, but his singing is always within the framework of "West Wind", and he does not skip to Banana Fish.
He Bin joined their first LIVE, many fans came to the scene, many Xifeng fans even came from a long way to support them, and former Banana Fish fans also came to support them. When the lights came on, Fu Cuo looked at the person in the center of the stage, and heard another person say "Hello everyone, we are Xifeng" in another voice. For the first time, he realized clearly that Sui Qingchi It is no longer the lead singer of West Wind.
Everyone was so happy that night, whether it was AK or Tan Si, everyone was happy for Xifeng's return, only he couldn't get excited at all. He Bin is an excellent lead singer and a friend he is familiar with, but "Beautiful" he sang seems to be another song.
His lead singer shouldn't be wearing a smoky gray shirt, jumping off the stage, and being so warm and friendly to fans. He should be wearing a red T-shirt or a hooded sweater, holding a microphone and putting one hand in his pocket. He will never He will jump off the stage, even if his hair is wet with sweat, it will still spread out softly under the light, and he will not interact passionately with the musicians, but will hand him a bottle of water in the dark, and look at him After drinking it, take it and drink it yourself...
I don't know when the eyes were full of tears. At the moment when the lights were bright, everything on the stage was blurred. Amid the cheers of the audience, Fu Cuo raised his head, trying not to let the tears fall.
So much anger, unwillingness, and finally became the fiery heat from the chest all the way to the eyes. If I had known this day, maybe I shouldn’t have thought about it so much. If I didn’t insist on eternity, I wouldn’t blame each other, and I would cherish the two people more Standing together on stage every minute, every second.
If we all knew that we would part ways today, would I still be willing to meet you and fall in love with you? Will you still tell me that the voice is too loud and you can't stop listening
Are the answers to these questions something we can only take to our own graves
I never thought that one day I will no longer have you on stage, even if the world is destroyed, you will not leave, even if Tan Si and AK are too old to play musical instruments, even if fans and fans leave us, I I will write songs for you, you will sing for me, we will be bound together, we will die together, we will be buried together, there will be no "goodbye" between us.
But…
The moment the lights dimmed, tears wet my cheeks like a torrential rain.
Goodbye, Sui Qingchi...
After that, there was gradually no intersection with Sui Qingchi, but the fans of Xifeng and Sui Qingchi were still at odds. Once someone posted a comparison video of He Bin and Sui Qingchi's singing scene, and this video was captured by Sui Qingchi. Fans turned thousands of times, and even attracted onlookers in professional music forums. AK yelled angrily: "These people are too fucking over the top! Can't let each other go?" AK even wanted to go to Weibo to argue with fans, but was stopped by Tan Si: "Why are you arguing with them? Go Are we pissed off to prove they're right?"
Fortunately, He Bin is in a good mood, but Fu Cuo is tired of fighting with Sui Qingchi's fans. He wrote a new song "Rolepy" based on He Bin's voice, and posted a demo of the song on Weibo. As He Bin's first exclusive song, there will be no more comparison videos in the future.
He thought it would divert everyone's attention. The day the song was released was November 16, but he didn't expect it to cause an uproar. A few days later it would be Sui Qingchi's birthday. Sui Qingchi's fans circled him that night and cursed: You It's not that we can't understand the song to defend your new lead singer, so the former lead singer is nothing? Do you have to choose to release the song on the eve of his birthday to respond to him? ! Have you ever thought about his mood? !
Someone even sorted out the lyrics and posted them on Weibo, alluding to the connotation of Sui Qingchi in Fu Cuo's lyrics.
Fans of Xifeng also responded with fire on Weibo: Didn't you pick up the incident and post the video to others, will there be this new song? Although my wrong brother is too lazy to conceive of this traitor at all, but it is true that the master has done bad things, and he has a guilty conscience to see everything!
"Rolepy" is the only song that Fu Cuo wrote in the past three months after Sui Qingchi left. He already felt very sorry for He Bin. , if any song inspired by Sui Qingchi has to be labeled as Sui Qingchi's connotation, how can he write a song? Did he want him to undergo a few electric shocks to completely erase Sui Qingchi from his memory? Originally, he didn't want to release this song, but that video really crossed the line. If He Bin sang the songs that Sui Qingchi sang in the future, he would not be safe. As the captain, could he stand by and watch
However, if the artillery fire was redirected to him, he had achieved his goal indirectly, as long as He Bin was not affected anymore, the grievances between Xifeng and Sui Qingchi had nothing to do with He Bin, he was the one who came to rescue Xifeng, so he shouldn't be treated like this. AK defended him, and Fu Cuo was already accustomed to the abuse of Sui Qingchi's fans, and warned everyone not to post on Weibo during this time, and quietly wait for the matter to ferment.
Then on the day of Sui Qingchi's birthday, Sui Qingchi finally posted on Weibo. He posted the MV teaser for a new song, but Fu Cuo saw it in someone else's forwarding, so he realized that he was blocked by Sui Qingchi in both directions. .
Sui Qingchi not only unfollowed him, but also unfollowed Xifeng and AK, and then restricted Weibo to only fans to comment.
AK worked hard in the WeChat group: What does he mean? ! Is this to use actions to show that he also feels that we are connoting him? !
Fu Cuo didn't think too much about it. He listened carefully to the preview of the song. It was not a rock song, but a cover of a classic old song. The arrangement had been greatly changed, but it still retained the The true nature of the song is a quiet and sad love song. The prelude is subtracted from the new arrangement, and Sui Qingchi's voice is directly accompanied by the accompaniment. Sui Qingchi, a singer who was the lead singer of a rock band, once his voice came out, Fu Cuo He actually felt that it was too close to this old song from the last century, and his face when he sang rock was suddenly blurred.
There is no electric guitar, no drums, no bass, only layers of piano accompaniment, and occasional acoustic guitar, the sound is still that person, but the feeling has completely changed. The most liked comment on Weibo read: Sure enough, the piano is the most suitable instrument for his voice. Sui Qingchi's voice is actually very classical. What kind of rock and roll are you doing? Almost delayed!
Fu Cuo looked at this comment with mixed feelings in his heart.
The preview only has a short verse and chorus. Of course, Sui Qingchi can play such a song with ease, but Fu Cuo can't figure it out. Why isn't he allowed to sing the original song for the first song? Sui Qingchi's fans are so strong, this will inevitably lead to another comparison between the original singer and the cover song, I wonder if the company is too confident in him, his current number of fans can naturally surpass the popularity of the outdated original singer , singing is only strong but not weak, but it will definitely leave an impression of arrogance.
He always felt uneasy, since Sui Qingchi left Xifeng, he seemed to have been living in criticism.
The teaser MV did not cause any controversy. All the discussions focused on Sui Qingchi’s incredible looks in the MV. This song seems to be an episode of a movie. There are many movie scenes in the MV. He was wearing a light blue fine-striped shirt, a light denim-colored bucket hat, and an acoustic guitar on his back. It was Gibson's Hummingbird. They had seen this guitar in a specialty guitar store before, and asked the clerk to take it down , Sui Qingchi played for less than five minutes. After just lightly sweeping the strings, Sui Qingchi looked up at him in disbelief, because the tone was so beautiful, Sui Qingchi's childish expression of "how can I be so different" is still fresh in his memory.
After all, a plywood guitar worth several hundred dollars is incomparable, Fu Cuo looked at Sui Qingchi, who was sitting on the roof with a hummingbird in her arms in the MV, and thought to himself.
Sui Qingchi's black and soft hair was also replaced by a delicate shape. The strong wind on the roof could not blow it very much, so Fu Cuo laughed at it. There was a close-up where he could see Sui Qingchi's eyebrows. The shape of Sui Qingchi's eyebrows was not so gentle, they were straight and sharp, and there was a tendency to grow wildly. When you got closer, you could see the small miscellaneous hairs on the edges, and the tail was not at all Not such a slightly curved arc.
No wonder even AK said: "This Sui Qingchi is also handsome, but his handsomeness is fake. He is naturally more handsome."
He Bin said: "It's a pity he doesn't sing rock and roll."
AK twitched his lips: "Everyone's fans have said that their Xiao Sui has a classical temperament~"
He Bin smiled and shook his head: "It's not classical if it has piano accompaniment. Fans don't understand this."
Fu turned off the video by mistake, and it was only a matter of time before Sui Qingchi would unblock them, they were all strangers, so why bother with these formal things.
The movie was released on Christmas Eve, and Xifeng also sang at the Livehouse that day. Sui Qingchi's fans all went to support the movie. It is said that there was a cameo scene of him. When He Bin sang his "Rolepy" on the stage, Sui Qingchi played the role of a school singer in the movie. There were only three or five shots, and the total did not exceed five minutes. He had almost no acting skills to speak of. , the appearance is either sleeping or playing the guitar, like the heroine's unrequited love, just a white moonlight.
The performance of the film is mediocre, but Bai Yueguang has entered the hearts of many people. She always wears a refreshing shirt, carries a red guitar, and looks lazy as if she didn’t get enough sleep. , so that the heroine was able to let go of Bai Yueguang in the end, which made the audience feel incredible.
Huanyi took the opportunity to release the song and the complete MV for the singer's solo. When this song became a hot search, Fu Cuo's worries became true, and disputes about the original and cover songs raged for a while. There are passers-by who scold Sui Qingchi for not knowing the heights of heaven and earth, and those who eat melons who are subdued by his appearance and voice. , everyone felt that he was just a studio-type vase singer, and Sui Qingchi was in the center of the vortex. He didn't say anything, but just closed the comments.
This level has been closed for a long time.
Sui Qingchi had two more years to graduate from CTR at that time, but he did not come back to continue his studies until both Fu Cuo and Tan Si graduated from CTR. , From the song playing program, I saw the packaged Sui Qingchi appearing in people's field of vision. The initial dispute over the original singer's cover song did not affect his development, but brought him the first batch of fans. The momentum is very good, starting from the appearance, falling into the strength, the eight words perfectly interpret Sui Qingchi at that time.
Sui Qingchi was on a music variety show, wearing a white T-shirt, a red plaid shirt tied around his waist, simple jeans and black sneakers, and played and sang "Stairway to Heaven" with his guitar in his arms. That was Sui Qingchi's highlight moment when he debuted. He didn't imitate the original song at all, and conquered the audience with his own understanding. When he played the guitar, he lowered his head, and the pendant on his chest swayed finely with the rhythm of his body. The camera also captured the slight tremor in his throat when he closed his mouth and hummed in a nasal voice. Fu Cuo also felt his heart move, it was true nice. Like ripples in a lake.
The bridge in the middle part of the guitar is newly added. Sui Qingchi used both hands to point the strings. The director also gave a close-up shot of his hands interlaced on the fingerboard. His slender fingers undulate like playing the piano. Fu Cuo had to admit that Sui Qingchi's guitar playing was getting better and better.
The stage was set up like a western bar, and there were only a few specially invited audiences pretending to be guests of the bar. After Sui Qingchi sang, the applause was not loud, but it was full of enthusiasm. Sui Qingchi got off the high stool , the host pretending to be a guest and the guest jokingly said: "The legs are so long. The high stool we sit on has hanging feet. He is just like us sitting on ordinary chairs, and his feet can directly step on the ground."
The female guest asked: "Sui Qingchi, how tall are you?"
Sui Qingchi said 1.86 meters.
Fu Cuo only knew that he had grown taller. AK said that he might have reported a fake height: "Isn't that often done in the entertainment industry?" Fu Cuo didn't think so. Sui Qingchi didn't take this kind of boring vanity seriously.
The host and guests couldn’t wait to comment on the spot, and the female guest said: “Do you know the most beautiful part, those humming passages are so charming, you have your own characteristics, I don’t know if you realize it, they are very attractive Man. I didn't feel like I was listening to Led Zeppelin, I remembered you from the first line I heard you sing, now I'm your fan girl, ah no, I should be called fan sister... "
Fu Cuo is particularly understanding. Listening to Sui Qingchi's singing is the feeling of being obsessed.
In the following interview session, the host asked Sui Qingchi that the way of playing the strings with multiple hands is very special, who taught you, Sui Qingchi's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, saying that I saw others play it, the host gave He popularized the origin of this playing method, and finally asked Sui Qingchi: "You really don't know? Then you are self-taught?"
Sui Qingchi said "no", but he didn't refute or correct anything. His hands dropped from his knees, intending to give up his defense just like that.
Seeing this, Fu Cuo smiled helplessly.
At the end of the show, Sui Qingchi sang "Everything will flow" in goatskin again. It was still the same western bar, but they put a slide behind him, and on the screen was Chaplin's "City Lights" In the clip, the light and shadow of the black and white silent film also hit Sui Qingchi, he sang "Ahh, and everything will flow, Ahh, you know everything will flow", as ruthless as a desert, and as warm as drizzle, once again with the His style transforms the face of the song and completes the highlight moment.
Fu Cuo only knew the beginning after listening to the beginning. These two videos will definitely be trending, and more people will know Sui Qingchi, although there are already many people who know him.
It has been more than half a year since Sui Qingchi left Xifeng, he didn't intend to follow Sui Qingchi's movements, but he became popular so fast, you couldn't be immune. Seeing Sui Qingchi again, Fu Cuo realized that he could accept his new identity calmly.
It's a surprise that he still sings and loves rock and roll.
