747 The Singing Of The Coffee Shop (2/3)
Chapter 747 The singing of the coffee shop (23)
Chen Fengchen is already very familiar with Jiangcheng. Especially in the past two years, two major TV dramas were filmed in Jiangnan Military Region. Chen Fengchen joked in a CCTV talk show that he was almost half of Jiangcheng. people!
Therefore, after dealing with some reporters who caught him at the airport, the old man took a car to Jiangcheng Media University in Tingshan District by himself.
It rained lightly in Jiangcheng today, especially in the Tingshan Mountains. It is backed by the Tingshan Mountains with strong water vapor. The rain is even more abundant. The drizzle has been falling since the early morning and has never stopped, dyeing the Grand Canal River into ink. tone.
Chen Fengchen got out of the taxi. He didn't need to hold an umbrella. With the jazz hat on his head and the windbreaker on his body, he was not afraid of the light rain, but the water on the road was a little troublesome, and the old man had to step up his pace.
"Bell!" As it was more than a year ago, Chen Fengchen pushed open the door of the coffee shop on the street corner, and the wind chime at the door rang happily, at the same time pushing the warm atmosphere inside the coffee shop and the faint sound of folk songs to the Chen Fengchen.
"Time has not come back, only the paleness of the years is left, ideals have wiped out my feelings, I just want to leave..." On the small stage in the middle of the coffee shop, two boys were playing guitar and singing affectionately. (Note 1)
The beautiful folk melody and the slightly sad and hoarse singing make the coffee shop seem to be gilded with a layer of golden years, which is intoxicating.
The guests in the store also listened quietly, not even paying attention to the disturbance of the wind chimes brought by Chen Fengchen's arrival.
Fang Tang in the bar looked at Miao Chuan obsessively. Although Lu Xiaoshu was the lead singer, Miao Chuan's introverted and melancholy atmosphere had a unique charm like a prince in a purple robe.
It was also Ding Xiang who reacted in time, stretched out his finger and poked the sugar cube, and then the sugar cube ran out of the bar in a panic to meet Chen Fengchen.
"Hello... Teacher, hello, what would you like to drink?" Fang Tang was a little hesitant when she saw Chen Fengchen's appearance. She thought it was Jiang Chuan's teacher who was here and greeted nervously.
"Let's not talk about what to drink, I came to the coffee shop to find Yang Yi." Chen Fengchen smiled with Fang Tang.
Unexpectedly, the appearance of Yang Yi's coffee shop has also changed. Not only the decoration has changed a bit, but there are also two more waitresses. More than a year ago, Chen Fengchen came over and saw Yang Yi still fighting alone.
Of course, this is also understandable, after all, Yang Yi's identity has changed a lot.
"Ah? Do you want to find our boss?" Fang Tang exclaimed in a low voice, she hesitated for a while, or asked Ding Xiang for help.
However, the two of them are no longer needed!
Sitting in the quiet private booth, Yang Yi had sharp ears. Hearing the movement, he took the initiative to greet him. He shook hands with Chen Fengchen and said with a smile, "Director Chen, if you have any business, just give me a call. Why do you have to come to Jiangcheng in person? And it's still raining outside..."
Until now, Yang Yi didn't know that Chen Fengchen came by taxi. He thought that a director as big as Chen Fengchen would have a special car to pick him up in Jiangcheng.
"Old man, I'm old, but my body is still strong. If you walk around more, you'll be healthier than you young people who stay at home all day!" Chen Fengchen said unceremoniously, "Of course, I came to you, definitely Talk about big things!"
Yang Yi led Chen Fengchen to his exclusive booth. Chen Fengchen likes to drink tea. Yang Yi also prepared the tea set early, and talked with Chen Fengchen while making tea.
"I sat down and waited, and reality made me understand that the place where the dream collapsed is now covered with moss..." When Yang Yi was making tea, this song by Qianli Chuanshu gradually came to an end, and the lyrics The thick sadness came again at this time.
"What's the matter with these two kids singing in your coffee shop? Why are the songs so dead?" Chen Fengchen did not cut to the chase as soon as possible, but frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "Young people should be full of hope for the future, There must be vigor in your voice!"
Yang Yi smiled and briefly told Chen Fengchen what happened to Qianli Chuanshu.
"Hey, wait, you said that Tang Rong in southern Hunan, who fell from power last year?" Chen Fengchen had heard of it, "You did this?"
Chen Fengchen really experienced the wind and frost, and suddenly tasted the strangeness of this matter.
"What's the matter with me? I just can't see it, and I pay to help them file a lawsuit. Tang Rong was investigated, it is estimated that there is someone who has hated him for a long time, and he took the opportunity to stab him fatally!" Of course Yang Yi did not Will admit, he diverted the topic, "This "ideal monologue" is the song they wrote when they were most desperate."
"Under such circumstances, it is understandable to write despairing lyrics." Chen Fengchen nodded lightly, "But people always have to look forward."
"Director Chen, don't worry! They've adjusted now. If you don't believe me, I'll let them sing a song that was written last month." Yang Yi laughed. He went out and muttered a few words to Lu Xiaoshu, who had just come down to rest. .
I saw Lu Xiaoshu nodded. He and Miao Chuan took the guitar to the stage again, plucked the strings gently, pointed into the microphone, and said softly, "I'm sorry, we're back again."
The student guests in the coffee shop all laughed, but they didn't make a loud noise and didn't want to disturb the quiet and elegant atmosphere of the coffee shop.
"We bring you our new song this time. Of course, some of my friends have heard "Growing Up" several times!" After Lu Xiaoshu finished speaking briefly, they began to play and sing. (Note 2)
Yang Yi boiled the water, brewed the tea with the posture of Kung Fu tea, brushed the cup, brewed the tea again, and then poured a cup for Chen Fengchen. Chen Fengchen drank and listened.
"There is always a gap between people, there are always problems in life, there is always too much hope, and in the end, if things don't go well, they will be extinguished by time..."
This word is actually still full of confusion and confusion, and it still conveys negative energy. Chen Fengchen couldn't help but glance at Yang Yi.
But in the second paragraph, although it is still humming slowly, the meaning of the lyrics has changed.
"...Since I'm still growing up, then be brave and struggle with reality! I always believe that ideals will always bloom!"
"Growing Up" is about a person who walks into society full of expectations, and then experiences confusion after encountering setbacks. In the end, he chooses to face difficulties firmly and fight bravely.
In fact, this song is not describing the mood of Qianli Chuanshu and the others in the past two years, but here they have transformed the various deceptions and restraints they have encountered into common problems that people encounter in society.
After listening to Qianli Chuanshu singing this ballad, Chen Fengchen smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, young people, you must have confidence in life! If you encounter a small problem, you don't dare to continue. That's a coward!"
"Director Chen, if I'm not mistaken, you should still be busy editing "Bright Sword" right now. In your busy schedule, you suddenly found time to come to my place, wouldn't you want to tell me this?" Yang Yi smiled. "Which of my works did you like again?"
However, Chen Fengchen was beyond Yang Yi's expectations. He took out a thin book from his bag, pointed to the title of the book, and said, "The Shawshank Redemption!"
"The Shawshank Redemption?" Yang Yi looked at Chen Fengchen in surprise, he frowned, and said, "Director Chen, you should see that my book, with its stories, is aimed at making movies. Right? But you're making a TV show!"
"You're underestimating me too! I can make a TV series, why can't I make a movie?" Chen Fengchen said with a beard.
Yang Yi smiled apologetically, but still said in a humble manner: "Director Chen, that's not what I meant, but haven't you ever made a movie? You are a famous TV drama director, but directing a TV drama is a bit different from a movie, you see... "
It is fine for a director who has directed a movie to make a TV series, but it is difficult to estimate the effect of a director who has directed a TV series to make a movie. Yang Yi didn't want such a classic movie to be used for Chen Fengchen's practice.
Chen Fengchen looked at Yang Yi angrily for a while, but suddenly smiled and said a little proudly: "To tell you the truth, I also made movies when I was young, although it was only a few decades ago. But I don't follow the old man. You care, in addition, who told you that as a director, I want to make a movie of this book?"
Note 1: The lyrics of Qianli Chuanshu's "No Longer Ideal" is adapted from Chen Hongyu's "Ideal Thirty Years", which is almost printed out of a mold. If you must find a reference, you can listen to this classic ballad. Note 2: "Growing Up" was born out of Zhao Lei's "Can't Grow Up", but the emotions expressed by the lyrics written by Qianli Chuanshu, as the book says, should be suppressed first and then raised, and everyone's brains will be fine.
