498. Rock Youth
The rock young man in front of him was the one Zhou Bin he met when he was out with Tang Tian in Beijing. // Visit to download the txt novel //
That time, unlike the impression of Zhang Tianyi, Li Yifan had a very good impression of Zhou Bin. He knew that he liked to play rock. At that time, he was very low-key at other times. Although he was from an extraordinary background, he did not have the spoiled spirit of Zhang Tianyi, and his behavior was reasonable, so Li Yifan had a very good impression of him.
Later, after returning home, he and Zhou Bin called several times, but later because they had their own things to do, they didn't contact each other much.
I didn't expect that today, I would meet again under such circumstances, which really surprised Li Yifan.
"Why, you kid are still playing rock?"
"Hehe, I don't have to play rock, I mainly play rock, and I'm playing other things, too."
After leaving the restaurant, a group of about ten people found a skewers stall and sat down, ordered a few bottles of beer, and started to chat while eating.
The young man who was kicked away by Li Yifan just now followed them well and helped to serve tea and water. It seemed that he had the sensibility and knew that the person in front of him was their boss's distinguished guest and good friend.
Liu Xiaotao and Zhu Cheng were also confused at this time. They were still nervous at the beginning, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Li Yifan became friends with these guys dressed in punks.
I just arrived at university, and we were basically outsiders, so it would be a good thing to not fight. Now we can still eat and drink. Of course, we are very happy. But they are a little confused in the current situation.
What is Li Yifan's origin? Didn't he come from Bincheng? How could he hook up with a few alleys in the blink of an eye that looked like the old capital? And looking like this, the relationship is pretty good?
"It's a coincidence today. I didn't expect to meet you here. We just came out of a place before. We were a little unhappy with people there, so Chuanzi has a little temper and it's hard for your friends. Don't take it to heart."
Zhou Bin is still a person who knows how to advance and retreat. He touched the wine glass with Li Yifan and apologized to Li Yifan, but Li Yifan really didn't care at all.
"It's okay, they're all friends."
First of all, Zhang Peng was not his friend. Secondly, what happened at that time seemed to be Zhang Peng stepping on someone's foot when he came out of the toilet. He did not apologize, and the young man was also angry, so he beat him up.
However, Li Yifan is really looking down on this guy with a temperament like Zhang Peng.
"What's going on? There is still something in this capital that can make you suffer?"
After thinking about what Zhou Bin said just now, Li Yifan asked with a smile.
"Hi! That's all that. I've tried somewhere with another band before, and I don't blame others, because we are not as good as others."
Although Zhou Bin's outfit is very alternative these days, he is essentially not a person like Zhang Tianyi, he is still a very reasonable person.
When Li Yifan heard this, he basically understood what happened.
Although Beijing is not economically developed, it is the most developed city in the country, but if we talk about culture, it can definitely be called the center of domestic cultural development. Whether in music or film and television, Beijing has always been the leader in the domestic cultural field.
Every year, countless young people with various artistic dreams come to the capital from all over the country to pursue their dreams. These people include actors, singers, and painters. The most distinctive group of people is the dream chaser of rock music.
Speaking of rock, this alternative expression of music has been popular internationally for many years and has appeared in China for a long time, but in the end, there are only a few people who can really make a name for themselves in this field in China.
However, since the early Chinese rock godfathers and the so-called three masters of Demon Rock in the later period, domestic rock music has declined. After all, after the 1980s, when ideological conflicts were most intense, this emerging artistic expression has become less popular in China.
Speaking of the development of rock in China, Li Yifan is actually not optimistic about it, because the situation of this kind of music expression mainly comes from the West after all. It was initially an extreme expression of a group of young people's rebellious spirit towards traditional society, and later various types of expression patterns were derived.
The expression of Westerners may have a certain market in their local area, but in China, such cultural and artistic expressions may not be accepted by the Chinese.
Especially now, many domestic rock musicians are not aware of what they say and don’t know how to develop in combination with their own culture. They only know how to blindly pursue the footsteps of foreign rock bands to imitate. This leads to the impression that rock music leaves people. Most of them are young people with thin figures and ghostly faces, and then they shout at the top of their lungs. Until the end, no one knows what he is singing.
This itself is contrary to the traditional Chinese cultural concept of gentleness and virtuousness, and many people regard this expression as a deviant way. Mainstream media generally sneer at such music expressions.
As this way of music expression gradually became distant from the general public and the audience became less and less, it gradually moved underground, usually in several more well-known bars in Beijing.
However, there are indeed many rock music fans, and there are quite a lot of followers because of the domestic population base. In order to pursue such artistic dreams, these people generally choose to camp and camp in Beijing and perform in those bars, hoping that one day they can get a chance to soar into the sky.
Unfortunately, these people came and left, and then came and changed into batches, but in the end, the domestic rock music did not see any improvement.
In his previous life, when he was not on duty, Li Yifan also hangs out at major bars and nightclubs in the capital, so he has seen a lot of so-called rock bands with such wild ways, but most of the impact left by Li Yifan after watching it is not very good.
It cannot be denied that some of the bands are of a certain level, and the songs they create are also good, and there are a large number of fans in those places. However, most bands, in Li Yifan's opinion, are not so-called. There are even many songs sung by bands, which are all inconspicuous in Li Yifan's opinion, and the lyrics are even more nonsense. Apart from pretending to be a b-making person, they really can't mention any so-called performance.
Many rock singers are even more unbearable. Drug use and sexual misconduct have become common things in the circle. Although there have been a few people who have been involved in this, such as Gerile, such as the Grile, and the like, the Zang Ge, etc., most young people are destroyed in their dreams and leave the capital after a few years of silence.
Although the reality is cruel, every year there are still many rock youths with dreams and good wishes for the future, pouring into the capital from all over the country, forming bands, and going to tour in various bars and nightclubs.
So there are really many bands like Zhou Bin and others in Beijing, and there are even more competitions between bands as he said before.
Most of the rock young people like Beijing gather in Shangdi generation, and the venues they perform every night are mainly concentrated in the bar street in Chao #yang, or the emerging Hai #Dian Wudaokou generation.
In Haidian, especially around the university, many new entertainment venues such as bars and dance halls have been opened in recent years due to the increase in the number of students in schools, the differences in students and the increased ability to accept new things.
Of course, there were many bars that followed. In order to attract customers, they attracted many bands to perform on-site, and soon some bars and bands nearby gradually became famous, especially in the student circle.
There are even many bands composed of members from major universities, such as Zhou Bin’s band. After chatting with him for a while, Li Yifan realized that most of the members of their band were alumni of nearby universities.
Including Zhou Bin himself, he is actually alumni of Li Yifan and a student of the Peking University. Li Yifan is not surprised at all. A few years ago, when Zhou Bin talked about Peking University, Li Yifan knew that going to a good university was just a common thing for Zhou Bin's family. Even if his academic performance was not very good, his family could easily arrange him to enter this most famous institution in the country.
"Fuck, the more I think about it, the more I feel angry. What did that band perform today? But in the end, I actually won. I am really dissatisfied!"
Zhou Bin took a few sips of wine, and then he stuffed the beer glass in his hand heavily on the table. The golden liquid was shaken and splashed out a lot.
"Haha, what's the matter with resentment? Isn't it just a performance?"
Li Yifan comforted Zhou Bin and said, "Is it a big success?"
Then he asked a casual question.
"I don't care much about that 10,000 yuan. The key is that I lost to that grandson. I'm not happy. What a fucking thing, I'll be shocked if I win a game. If it weren't for the two families meeting, I would have been sucking that stinky sb long ago."
When Zhou Bin thought of the bitch who looked like a villain after he defeated him, he was so angry that he was so successful.
