Lu Ming got off the bus and found the agreed place.
They know a lot of strange common sense, such as going to KTV to sing in the afternoon on weekdays, it will be much cheaper than the average price of KTV, and sometimes there is a group purchase event of 9.9 yuan for singing for an afternoon.
Today is a luxury package, in order to receive international friends from afar. When Lu Ming went in, they were forcing the friend to sing. It wasn't any hip-hop song, but "Even though the dress is on me, my heart is still Chinese." The singing was extremely ugly, as if the motherland owed him money.
Lu Ming walked over and bumped his shoulders with his friend who was crying and screaming: "Bye! When did you arrive?! It's been a long time since I saw you, I miss you so much!"
However, Shang Wu screamed in disbelief, "Can you be gentle, kid!"
He put down the microphone, put his arms around Lu Ming's shoulder and sat down: "I won't sing anymore, I've already sung almost ten songs, let me catch up with you brother Ming."
Xu Ou was laughing at him: "Old businessman, don't pretend to be tender, you are still old, brother Ming, if you ask Lu Ming to call your uncle, everyone will believe it!"
Shang Wu said, "It's called an honorary title."
Lu Ming's eyelids twitched, Shang Wu usually didn't respect him very much, and the two of them also communicated in gag. This sudden change always made him feel that something was wrong.
Shang Wu is a Chinese producer who developed in the United States. He is not very famous, but he earns more than them. He even made albums for some well-known singers. In the past few years, the hip-hop atmosphere in China has gradually developed, and Shang Wu has also made friends with them online, and sometimes even writes songs for domestic rappers.
Lu Ming and Shang Wu are peers, and Shang Wu is a serious music graduate, so he will harass Shang Wu to ask all kinds of questions. a deep friendship.
The problem was that the friendship was so deep that Lu Ming didn't know how to refuse.
Shang Wu really started the real topic without saying a few words: "How did you think about what you told you last time?"
Lu Ming said: "I don't think it's necessary, you see that you were still in my heart just now and still have a Chinese heart..."
"You're right," Shang Wu hated iron for not becoming steel, "brother, it's really not my buddy, I adore foreigners. If you do calligraphy, archaeology, and Chinese painting, I advise you to go out. But you're hip hop. , is there a better place than America? Where you can get your hands on the most popular stuff!"
Lu Ming could only sigh, because he couldn't refute, he didn't know how to refuse.
If it was two or three years ago, when he was still single, Shang Wu invited him, saying that the owner of the music company he knew had overheard Lu Ming's beat and was interested in him. If he invited him to the United States, he might not pay for food. stay to go.
Now he still likes hiphop and wants to try the latest music, but some things are different. He is a family man now, so how can he fly away just because he is moved.
"It's not like I'm going to tie you there and won't let you come back!" Shang Wu is still saying, "You go for a year or two, and I can take you to learn it systematically. You are still young, you should develop it well. talent."
"Isn't distance teaching possible?" Lu Ming was very stubborn, "Just sign up for an online learning class."
Shang Wu was about to vomit blood: "Aren't you! Are you planning to leave because of a man?"
"It's not true!" Lu Ming talked to him seriously, "I admit, in some places we are a little bit worse... Well, it's a lot worse! But Chinese hiphop has developed its own culture now, I think this kind of thing is no worse than anyone else. Have you heard the song that was very popular last year? The suona will never be used in American rap songs."
Shang Wu said: "I heard it, not long after listening to it, the producer was sent to prison for fraud."
"You're prejudiced, he didn't enter because he used a suona!" Lu Ming said, "I'm just giving an example, I want to say, I still stay for
Fight for the motherland. It's not because I hate men! "
Of course, he was very reluctant to Liang Yesheng, but he didn't go anyway. This reason sounds a bit affectionate, and it sounds more awesome to stay with a heart to fight for local music.
"When I was in the United States, there were hip hops everywhere. There, that is the most popular thing right now. Five of the ten songs on the list were traps. I was really interested, but after I came back, I listened to it once It was only after a Chinese song that I started to think, I want to do this kind of thing too." Lu Ming suddenly said in the noisy voice.
"Song Yueting?" Shang Wuwen, this idea is not surprising, many people are enlightened by the singer.
A genius born out of nowhere, but his fate was tragic. He recorded his own songs with a keyboard and tape recorder at home, suffering, struggling and lonely. He died of a terminal illness in his early twenties, leaving only the next generation of legends.
"No, it's Du Zhenxi." Lu Ming said, "Have you heard of "Epic"? He wrote it to himself ten years later. In the mv, he walked with his friends and those old Taiwanese rappers on the road. I don't know what direction it will go. I think, what will I be doing in ten years, can I have a song that makes me proud? Will there be a group of like-minded friends, I know this circle is very chaotic, and there is no Stable, but this is the stage that is still on the rise. If you miss it, it will be gone. When you raise a child, you can't say that you want to open your eyes and close your eyes to see the child grow up and graduate and become famous. The one in the middle It's also important to teach him his homework, to accompany him to the park, and to watch him mature."
He would like to stay in this place, grotesque and fast-growing, and walk toward the dawn with his friends.
Xu Ou heard some key words next to him and asked, "Child? What child, how can you have a child if you are gay?"
Lu Ming said angrily: "I'm going to leave with Shang Wu and go to the United States to raise children. You will lose a general immediately, and there will be no better producer like me to sing for you."
After hearing it, it was not serious, and Xu Ou didn't take it seriously: "Then you go, I don't need you anymore, anyway, Chen Zi will do it for me, you say he is really capable, and he is a mother. Arranging and mixing are all included…”
Lu Ming snorted a little dissatisfiedly and did not comment, because he lost the agreement that Xu Ou's new song was handed over to Chen Zi to do it, which was also a sign of reconciliation between the two parties. Chen Zi was probably trying his best to show them off, but even Lu Ming couldn't help but admit that the quality was barely okay.
"That boy Lone Wolf is really good," Shang Wu remembered when he heard Chen Zi's name, "I asked him out when I returned to China. He said that he would be on tour during this time, running around everywhere, not in D city, and also I don’t know if we can meet. It’s okay to reconcile now. It used to be so awkward that I didn’t dare to ask him in front of you before. Speaking of which, I never thought that Lushan would take the initiative to seek reconciliation with him.”
Xu Ou was sitting by the sofa, the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly froze, he wanted to drag Shang Wuji out, but it was too late, Lu Ming frowned and put down the cola: "What did this guy say, it's obviously him Come to us first, who will take the initiative to seek peace with him."
He turned to look at Xu Ou: "Right, Xu Ou?"
