Views:

"Two times!"

"Quite impressive!"

Next comes the voting session.

How much youth is left in your hands

Time passes, youth grows old

"Yes, I basically spend my time outside of work on this."

Li Jianguo smiled happily: ""The Beauty That Can't Go Back"!"

Li Jianguo smiled and said: "I am quite satisfied with my current life, but I want to wait until my daughter graduates from college before I quit my job at Foxconn and concentrate on creating music. My dream is to use singing to express my attitude towards life. Reflect my inner thoughts, use my eyes to observe the world, and let my songs bring thinking and resonance to everyone."

Yang An thought for a while and said: "Let me say one last thing. There is a folk poet in the United States, Bob Dylan, who is over 70 years old this year. As a musician, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. This is the Nobel Prize for Literature. Something that has never happened before in the history of Bell. Bob Dylan has insisted on his own music path for fifty years. He has never been kitsch or cared about the mainstream of society. For decades, he has insisted on using music to express himself and singing. He sang anti-war, called for civil rights, etc., and used poetic language to sing satirical, indignant, and awakening songs. Maybe Brother Li, I, and many other songwriters will never be able to achieve Bob Dylan’s height, but we still have to learn from his spirit, I think this is the soul of our music creators!”

The whole audience chuckled. Yang An was obviously in charge of commenting on singing contestants. Yesterday he commented on Peking Opera contestants and rappers. Unfortunately, both of them failed. The first person to take the stage today was a folk singer. No. Do you know if Yang An will issue his first Pass card among singing contestants

"Don't flatter me. I'm not as good as him in one aspect."

Yang An kept applauding and sighed for a long time. He Jiong knew that Yang An was cherishing talents, so he first tried to ask: "Brother Yang, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Brother Yang ten years later, this statement is absolutely correct!"

"nice!"

…”

As the impassioned drumbeats came, Li Jianguo turned the acoustic guitar into an electric guitar. The fingers of his left hand quickly changed the shape of his hand. His right hand strummed, plucked, swept, or cut notes. A gorgeous solo was presented in front of the audience, which aroused the attention of the whole audience. Field exclaimed.

Leaving behind the lines of time.

The three judges exchanged glances with each other, and Yang An hummed along. He Jiong and Xu Jinglei were also shaking their heads and smiling, very, very relaxed. The audience also all smiled, as if thinking of their youthful years, when they were studying the most. Happy times.

Yang An continued to ask: "Does your usual hobby include playing guitar and making original works?"

Foxconn has a relatively standard promotion method. There are promotion opportunities every few years on the job. In addition to the assessment scores of direct supervisors, there are requirements for employees’ academic qualifications and experience. Even if you are 42 years old, you can survive until you are promoted. This is quite agreeable. In reality, if he said that he was still working as a front-line employee, none of the three judges would believe it, and mutual trust would be greatly reduced.

Yang An did his part and was the first to comment: "I have to say, this original song really moved me. What's the name of the song?"

He Jiong and Xu Jinglei both didn't believe it. Yang An asked: "Brother Li, I want to ask, are you satisfied with your current life? What is your dream?"

Li Jianguo turned around and motioned to the staff to help him bring up the guitar.

Is it so amazing

Maybe the letter I wrote to you has been thrown away long ago,

There is an ancient allusion to mountains and flowing water. It is difficult to find a close friend. If a person has a close friend, this is the greatest happiness.

Wow!

oh

Do you still remember that beautiful period

Li Jianguo obviously came well prepared. He fiddled with the guitar twice, turned around and nodded to Ma Xin. Ma Xin held some accompaniment discs in his hand and put down the BGM of the rock song. Only the drumbeats, melody and rhythm were composed by Li Jianguo himself. Take control.

"Is it mainly about creating campus folk songs?"

"I will try my best to sing well!"

Xu Jinglei laughed at the side: "Brother Yang ten years from now..."

Yang An is his soulmate. He feels that he can be appreciated by Yang An and he will die without regrets.

"No, I can accept all kinds of music and have tried it. Rock, pop, RAP, folk songs, a little bit."

Yang An also smiled and said, "I'm very strict!"

He Jiong asked: "What are you going to perform today?"

"These songs are all original by him? That's great!"

I hope everything goes well in your world,

Hahaha!

Moreover, Li Jianguo's voice is not pleasant. For migrant workers of his age, it is very likely that he did not receive a good education as a child, and his Mandarin speaking skills are not standard. In addition, his voice is not special and is a bit hoarse. It sounds very rough. Would it be nice for such a person to play and sing by himself? Everyone is doubting!

Li Jianguo said shyly: "I was promoted to production squad leader last year."

After laughing, Yang An said: "Have you ever written a rock song? Can you sing a few lines and listen to it?"

The audience applauded. This 42-year-old factory mechanic had great ideas and was able to persevere. This was not easy.

Everyone said this in their hearts, keep listening.

The time when we knew each other was so beautiful that we can never go back.

When I think of your smile,

After eight cycles of prelude bars, Li Jianguo began to sing: "

The whole audience was in an uproar. This uncle is amazing. He is an all-around singer!

Many people were moved. The melody is sad, the lyrics are sad, and the singing is also sad. The emotion in the singing is very full, and Li Jianguo's hoarse voice perfectly matches it. This song is performed flawlessly!

It is a very sad memory. A picture seems to appear in everyone's mind. Li Jianguo and his first love girlfriend spent a happy boyhood together. But unfortunately, the two could not get together due to various reasons. He could not give his first love what he wanted. The reality of his life was too cruel. He could only watch his first love become someone else's wife from a distance, and then silently send his blessings.

How much suffering there is in missing you,

That is the mark of youth poetry,

This is the case with Li Jianguo. There is still a very difficult story behind him that has not been told. He has wasted a lot of money in pursuing music over the years. His weird behavior has caused him to lose many promotion opportunities and several good jobs. He had to work in a factory in his 30s. His family did not understand him, and his colleagues thought he was strange. It was very difficult for him.

No wonder he came up wearing a coworker uniform, but considering that he was already 42 years old, He Jiong asked: "So are you working on the front line now, or have you entered management?"

The audience burst into laughter, He Jiong slapped the table with laughter, Li Jianguo giggled, Yang An was stunned, sighed, dumbfounded, bowed his head, damn it, I will be more handsome than this big brother in ten years, okay

When the staff brought the guitar, He Jiong said with a smile: "You know, on the talent show stage, it is very difficult to get recognition for your singing talent. Because everyone can sing, unless you sing very well, let Only when people find it amazing and even Brother Yang is surprised can you get the Pass card. Are you mentally prepared for this?"

Yang An smiled: "It's a very good name. You should know that my guitar teacher is Mr. Liu Feng, the father of campus folk songs. I started playing guitar with campus folk songs. This song "The Beauty That Can't Go Back", I feel That familiar smell resonates in my heart and makes me excited at the same time. You moved me. Very good!"

Li Jianguo smiled and was not nervous. He buckled his strap, adjusted the microphone stand in front of him, and sat on the high stool.

Clean a used comb occasionally,

"I want to play the guitar and sing."

I have no intention of re-reading the love letters from that year,

Facing He Jiong and Xu Jinglei's happy teasing, Yang An said seriously: "I am also a songwriter. I know how difficult it is to create a song. The meaning and rhythm of the lyrics, the combination of melody and emotion. Many times we create a song. The song needs to be revised and reworked many times. And have you noticed that Brother Li's lyrics are poetic, full of emotion, and full of philosophy!"

The whole audience was in an uproar and became interested all of a sudden. Finally, a singer who played guitar came and was an older technical employee from Foxconn. This is rare!

With the main key of C, Am, F, G rotating, a relaxed melody, a slightly hoarse lyrical singing, coupled with charming and catchy lyrics, this is a typical campus ballad!

The audience applauded for a long time, and Li Jianguo sighed and sighed. He stepped down from the high stool and stood on the stage and bowed to Yang An for a long time.

…”

All shine on the yellowed letter paper,

you've got it elsewhere

Yang An was quite shocked. After listening to RAP and pop, Li Jianguo could quickly change his style and play and sing his own original songs.

The lights dimmed, and there was only Li Jianguo on the stage. At this moment, he was holding the guitar, and his whole image and temperament had completely changed. He was completely different from the image of the co-worker just now.

Bang bang bang!

The whole audience was excited!

The middle-aged worker said: "Hello everyone, my name is Li Jianguo. I am 42 years old. I come from the Yangtze River Delta. I am an assembly worker at Foxconn Company."

Li Jianguo roared directly into the chorus. This is a song about roaring against fate, fighting against unfairness and unwillingness to bow to fate. You can hear the positive energy and unyielding fighting spirit in his song.

The audience applauded, and Li Jianguo stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

This is how I would like to miss you,

Now my heart still beats after reading it.

A gentle arpeggio and a gentle prelude sounded. This was the fingering of the C chord. However, Li Jianguo's right hand played tricks, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate. The sound was dense, the timbre was accurate, there was no noise or defects, and his basic skills were very solid. .

One person started to applaud, leading everyone to applaud together. The audience cheered and gave the applause to Li Jianguo, thanking him for bringing everyone into beautiful memories. It was a little sad and a little touching.

After Li Jianguo hummed for a while, he entered the chorus: "
