'VENT Band 4th Anniversary Resurrection Concert'.
Band members: Lu Yan, Li Zhen, Da Pao, Xu Ye.
As of the night before the show, 300 tickets were sold out.
On the ticket, in addition to these two lines, the venue and time of the performance are marked in the lower right corner, and the names of the members are handwritten.
Before the performance started, several people mentioned this after the rehearsal on stage and despised each other.
"Old Lu, your character," Li Zhen sighed, "Can you write this character well?"
Lu Yan: "Where are you so good?"
Li Zhen always said that Lu Yan's handwriting was too messy to understand, and his own handwriting was really not good-looking. Not to mention Da Pao, a standard scumbag who repeated his studies for two years and was admitted to the music academy next door to C University.
Among the four people, only Xu Ye's handwriting can be regarded as good handwriting.
Therefore, Xu Ye's first reaction when he got the ticket was: "What are you writing! Artistic words? Do I need to design one for myself?"
Lu Yan: "No... We just write normally. You don't understand, it's also called rock and roll."
Li Zhen: "Yes, we rock youths don't pay much attention to these things!"
Several people were nervous and excited.
The topic changed, and we talked about the new song that will be released in the form of a 'concert' this time.
It was getting dark outside.
— Less than two hours before the concert starts.
Lu Yan sat on the edge of the stage with his long legs swinging down. The empty place under the stands imagined that the place would be full of people three hours later.
Li Zhen walked over and said, "Your song, I have a question I have to ask you."
Lu Yan bit a lozenge in his mouth to protect his throat, thinking it was some professional problem, he turned his head and said, "Huh?"
Li Zhen: "Why did you suddenly start writing love songs?"
"..."
The lozenge almost slipped from Lu Yan's mouth.
"That's not your style," Li Zhen said, "What do you mean by clearing the clouds, you just—"
Lu Yan blushed: "Don't read it!"
Li Zhen went on to say, "You are the light."
After Li Zhen finished reading, he looked at him again. He had known Lu Yan for so many years, and this person always wrote songs in the way of 'go ahead, do it, don't give up', and he said, "Tell me honestly, is there something wrong recently?"
Lu Yan: "What's wrong with this lyrics, it represents overcoming hardships, hope is ahead."
Li Zhen: "Stop talking to me."
Lu Yan bit the candy into pieces and didn't speak again.
After a long while, Lu Yancai said: "...damn is it so obvious?"
Li Zhen was shocked by Lu Yantan's candid words.
However, he didn't have time to ask in detail, because the venue staff stuck their heads out from the second floor and raised their voices to remind: "The countdown is two hours. If there is no problem with the audio equipment, you can go to the backstage to prepare in advance!"
"I'll talk to you after the show is over," Li Zhen said, knowing Lu Yan's peeing nature, and said, "Don't run away after the show."
They spend all their expenses on venue layout and renting equipment, and they don't have extra money to hire a stylist, so the costume styling is all done by themselves.
Backstage was fast-paced, busy changing clothes, doing makeup, and doing hairdos.
"Hurry up," the staff reminded when they passed by the backstage, "the queue has already started outside."
When they were all ready, there were less than ten minutes left to leave the field.
Lu Yan didn't know why she was a little nervous, it felt a bit like when she was on stage for the first time that year. He sat on the chair and closed his eyes to adjust his state. He leaned against the back of the chair and clicked on the phone to check the time. Finally, he ran to a familiar dialog box.
The chat between him and Xiao Heng still stayed a few days ago, and he told him to come back there quickly when he was taking pictures of Sister Lan.
Both of them were too busy during this time, Lu Yan had a tight schedule for rehearsal, and Xiao Heng not only had to do the previous micro-chat game, but also had to chat with several partners about the project.
Lu Yan originally wanted to leave a ticket for Xiao Heng to ask him if he would come, but finally saw that he was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep, so he gave up.
Lu Yan stared at it for a while, couldn't help it, and moved his fingers: Are you there
After Lu Yan sent this sentence, he thought about how to smooth things over.
He pinched the exaggerated rings on his hands, thinking about what to say next: Does he have a delivery today? Maybe not. Then ask him to help collect the clothes
Finally, Lu Yan sent out a sentence: At home...is the gas at home turned off
gas.
What the hell kind of speech is this.
"Fuck." Lu Yan immediately threw the phone out after posting, and he was also surprised by his talent for awkward chatting.
However, two seconds later, the phone vibrated a few times on the dressing table.
[Xiao Heng]: You can ask Viagra.
[Lu Yan]: Did you go out
[Xiao Heng]: Yes.
Lu Yan didn't hear him say that he had to go out today.
Just as he was about to ask, Xiao Heng sent another sentence: Go to the show.
[Lu Yan]: What are you looking at
[Xiao Heng]: A very awesome band.
[Xiao Heng]: This band has been established for more than three years, and it is a band full of talent. The style of music is changeable, and every song is a classic.
"..." Isn't this the fucking thing he was talking about in the live broadcast room
Xiao Heng saw the performance information on Weibo.
He has been waiting for Lu Yan to give him a ticket for the past few days, or like the time he wanted to buy a cake, he asked him to buy and sell grass to sell, but this heartless stupefied didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
He has been so busy these days, but he still took the time to go to a place called a 'speakeasy' to buy a ticket.
Holding the ticket, Xiao Heng has never experienced this kind of experience standing among a group of "star chasing" girls discussing "the lead singer is really handsome and wonder if they have a girlfriend", thinking that he is not obsessed, he probably is not saved.
"Five minutes to—ready—"
After the staff reminded, Li Zhen took Xu Ye and began to take a deep breath: "Relax, relax, it's nothing, don't be nervous."
Da Pao was chattering beside Lu Yan the whole time: "Brother, do I walk like this? Brother, are you nervous?"
Lu Yan stared at the dialog box.
Is he nervous
It's amazing. It seems that after knowing that there will be Xiao Heng among the 300 people in the audience, the tension disappeared instantly.
The venue for 300 people is not big. The entire live house was transformed from an old warehouse. There are two corridor-wide standing seats on both sides of the second floor. As the opening approached, they began to play their band's accompaniment tape to warm up the venue in advance.
The audience was crowded with people, and the dim light hit the audience.
I don't know who took the lead, and then the voices intensified, and finally gathered together, shouting the name of their band in unison: "VENT!"
The sound spread across the venue and behind the scenes.
"Three minutes countdown!"
"two!"
"one!"
All the lights went out.
The moment the stage lights came on, Li Zhen was the first to go out. Li Zhen's appearance was different. Thinking about it, he could only sit and play the drums later. He grabbed the microphone and asked the audience, wanting to increase the number of micro chat steps: "Brother Zhen, are you handsome today?!"
Followed by Da Pao and Xu Ye.
— Lu Yan was the last to appear.
Lu Yan was only wearing a translucent black gauze shirt with the collar wide open, as if he was not wearing any. Around his neck were several strings of overlapping cross necklaces. He walked out from behind Xu Ye, and the audience in the audience The screams almost overturned the entire venue.
After Lu Yan appeared on the stage, he didn't say a word of nonsense. He glanced off the stage and sang a line of lyrics amidst the sound of guitar, bass, and strong drums.
There are several old songs in the opening sequence.
When Lu Yan sang "shatter all the past".
The audience was waving and jumping to the rhythm, as if returning to the summer when the VENT band first debuted.
Back then they came out with the album "Ogre".
Four years ago, some viewers were still in school when they first listened to the song, and they may have graduated now.
Maybe you're working on a job you like or don't like.
The V group may have given them strength when they were most confused, or it may be their youth.
…
After singing three songs in a row, Lu Yan put the mic back on the mic stand, stood in front of the mic and said, "We're back."
"Welcome back" burst out from the audience!
"Some time ago, something happened to the band, and someone asked us if we had disbanded," Lu Yan said in a tone of laughing with friends, "We haven't disbanded."
"We just stumbled."
"But I quickly stood up," Lu Yan said, "and found new teammates."
When Lu Yan said this, he wanted to say: I also met a very special person.
He introduced the two new team members to the audience, pointed his gun at the two former teammates who were not there, and then glanced at the audience, but the audience was dimly lit, only a pair of them holding their hands high. , A hand like a forest making a 'V' gesture.
Lu Yan has always been known for his flamboyance in the field of control. He raised his hand to unbutton his clothes on his chest and asked the audience: "Do you feel a little hot?"
The audience is boiling.
Lu Yan unbuttoned those buttons with one hand.
The semi-transparent black gauze is no different from the fully transparent one. After unbuttoning the button, Lu Yan continued calmly, "Did you miss me, miss... how much do you miss me?"
Lu Yan's voice was deliberately suppressed, and the ending seemed to have a hook.
In the end, Li Zhen couldn't listen anymore, and hit him from behind: "Fuck you, you're going to be so pissed off!"
Everyone laughed.
A few minutes of chit-chat time passes and we move on to the next part.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and said, "Next is a new song called "Light"."
The style of this song is different from their band's previous songs. The piano was even added to the accompaniment at the beginning, and then there was a soft but powerful guitar sound. After the crazy restlessness, this strange softness is like a gust of wind.
Especially when Lu Yan sang the first sentence: "I am in a wilderness / Across mountains and seas to your side"
Lu Yan couldn't deny at all that he had been intentionally or unintentionally looking for someone in the audience from the moment he appeared on the stage.
That person had nothing and was picked up by him on a rainy night.
Then he watched helplessly as the man walked out of the desperate situation step by step.
…
That person has a bad temper, but he will touch his head and tell him: don't be afraid, don't run away.
Tell him that Yanyan is awesome.
Lu Yan wins.
You are Lu Yan, so you can do it.
So he seemed to have the courage to face the difficulties.
So he really stood on the stage for the fourth anniversary.
"Just steam
Anyway, the world is buzzing
just wander
Anyway, it’s like this all around.”
The audience is too dark and too far away.
But when Lu Yan sang here, he skipped the faces of countless people in the audience, and finally his gaze fell on a certain figure in the middle of the last row—tall, thin, with still short hair. The man was dressed in black, standing there fiercely and lazily.
The accompaniment gradually weakened, and the audience was silent.
For a moment, Lu Yan felt that he and Xiao Heng were looking at each other, and he sang the last two lines: "If I have never seen the sun
tear apart the clouds/you are the light"
After Lu Yan finished singing, facing the darkness below the stage, he couldn't tell whether it was Li Zhen's drumbeat or his own heartbeat.
