Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

On July 24, the Midi Music Festival kicked off in Zhangjiakou, lasting two days over the weekend. Yu Dongqing took a special day off because she was worried that she would not be able to come back to work in time on Monday because she played late on Sunday night.

"Dongqing, are you going to Zhangjiakou to attend the Midi Music Festival?" The news reached Luo Yun's ears for some unknown reason, and she asked quietly when she was getting off work on Friday.

"Yes, I went over with a few old buddies to relax. I have been quite busy during this period." Yu Dongqing said.

busy?

Seeing that you have such a leisurely day at work and writing songs is as comfortable as drinking tea, are you still busy?

Of course Luo Yun would not be so rude to Yu Dongqing, but said: "Okay, I want to go too, how about we go together?"

this?

It doesn't matter if she goes to participate in music. The key is that Luo Yun is a married young woman. It won't have much influence if she is brought out, right? What do some old buddies think?

Yu Dongqing was about to decline, but Luo Yun smiled:

"I'm kidding you, you guys are going together, why should I join in the fun? Xia Qiong has already made an appointment to go swimming on the weekend."

"Oh, that's good." Yu Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dongqing, I heard that there are many beauties at the Midi Music Festival. Be careful who entangles you." Luo Yun warned again.

"Ha, how could it be? I'm already an uncle."

"Some little girls like uncles, not to mention you are a talented and handsome uncle, hehe"

This year's Midi Music Festival was held in Chongli Cuiyun Mountain International Tourism Resort in Zhangjiakou. There are two singing venues, one in Chongli and one in Cuiyun Mountain, which are about ten minutes' drive away.

The time was from Saturday to Sunday. On Saturday morning, we set off with our luggage and drove straight to Zhangjiakou.

The four of them made an appointment to meet at the resort at 12 noon.

The weather was good today, with clear skies. Yu Dongqing drove out of Yanjing City and onto the Badaling Expressway, then turned onto the Jingzhang and Jingli Expressways. After driving for more than two hours, he finally got off the expressway and drove directly to the resort.

Not long after driving on the road, I saw a young girl standing on the side of the road. She was petite and estimated to be at most 1.6 meters tall. Wearing a large black round-neck T-shirt that reached almost to the knees, not even the shorts could be seen, only two slender white legs were exposed.

She was carrying a guitar and wearing huge red headphones on her head. She stretched out her arms and gave a thumbs up.

It was obviously a ride, and it looked like he was going to a music festival.

The cars in front didn't know why because they were full of people. Yu Dongqing looked at the bright sun outside. It was quite pitiful for a girl to stand on the roadside on such a hot day, so she stopped as she passed by.

He opened the car window and shouted to the girl: "Are you going to the music festival?"

"Yes, uncle." When the young girl saw Yu Dongqing greeting him, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"boarding!"

So the girl happily jumped into the passenger seat, not forgetting to carefully hold the guitar in her arms.

The vehicle continued to move forward.

Yu Dongqing took a closer look at the girl next to her, and then noticed her appearance. She looked younger than Mingliang, probably around seventeen or eighteen years old.

She actually had short yellow hair and paired it with a black T-shirt with skulls printed on it, making her look like a hot girl.

Fortunately, I didn’t do any smoky makeup, I dressed without makeup, and my face is very fair.

Yu Dongqing was not the kind of person who kept talking when he had nothing to say. He just drove the car silently, but the girl took the initiative to chat with him.

"Uncle, are you also attending the music festival?"

Yu Dongqing nodded.

The girl looked surprised when she heard this:

"Uncle, how come you still like rock music when you are so old?!"

I'm dizzy

Am I very old?

In fact, although Yu Dongqing is 36 years old this year, he looks well-maintained and looks less than thirty. But in the eyes of this girl who looks younger than her sister-in-law, she is a proper uncle!

Yu Dongqing didn't bother to explain, and just said lightly: "I have a general interest in rock and roll, and I prefer folk songs. There are many bands singing folk songs at this music festival."

"Yeah, folk songs are pretty good too." The girl agreed, but the next sentence almost choked Yu Dongqing to death.

"Some people say that men who like folk songs smoke, drink, and sleep with girls. Is this the same for you, uncle?"

Me@#￥￥%

The corners of Yu Dongqing's mouth twitched.

Speechless.

He ignored it and just drove the car silently.

The girl didn't care. She put on her headphones and entertained herself, humming a song softly.

Yu Dongqing listened carefully.

It turned out to be the song "Love Song 1980" written by myself

You once told me you will always love me

I understand love, but what is it forever?

Girl, don't cry, we are still together

Today's joy will be tomorrow's eternal memory

This avant-garde girl actually likes this old-fashioned folk song?

Yu Dongqing looked at her in surprise.

And the sound is also good, ethereal and soft, a bit like the original Faye Wong of Time and Space.

The girl immediately caught Yu Dongqing's eyes, and she took off her headphones: "Uncle, you said you like folk songs, have you heard of this song "Love Song 1980", it was sung by my brother-in-law!"

Brother-in-law?

strange.

Yu Dongqing remembered that when Meimei published these videos on station B, the songwriters used the word: brother-in-law.

"I heard it."

Yu Dongqing said again.

"That sounds nice, right? Well, what kind of man is this brother-in-law?" The girl seemed to be asking Yu Dongqing, but also seemed to be talking to herself.

"Some people say that folk singers from other places come to Yanjing to hang out, and those from Yanjing go to Lanzhou, Lijiang, Nanjing, and various places in Tibet. Where does this brother-in-law go to hang out?"

After listening to the girl's words, Yu Dongqing couldn't help but retort: ​​"I guess he doesn't have any sex life, maybe he is a quiet office worker working nine to five."

"Impossible!" The girl's eyes widened.

"How can a man who can write such a song be a regular office worker?! He must be wandering around with a guitar on his back, and there are always different girls around him."

Yu Dongqing decided to shut up completely and looked at the road ahead.

When the girl saw Yu Dongqing's appearance, she smiled and put on her headphones again.

Yu Dongqing found that the girl looked pretty when she smiled, and her eyes curved into little crescents.

At this moment, Yu Dongqing's phone rang. Seeing that it was Zhang Yang, he put on his Bluetooth headset and answered it.

"Hey, Holly, are you almost there?"

"Hurry, we've got off the highway."

"Me and Yimin are here, guess who we met?"

"who?"

"Brothers Lu Ping from Huabangzi band, they are also here to participate in the Midi Music Festival!"

Flower stick?

Hearing this name, Yu Dongqing smiled.

Huabangzi Band is a band from the same period as Yu Dongqing and his Qingmanglu Band. They are not from Yanjing Normal University but from Yanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, which is next door to Yanjing Normal University.

Unlike Yu Dongqing and others who play folk songs, the Huabangzi Band mainly sings rock music, but rock and ballads are indistinguishable. The two schools are close to each other and they often perform with each other, so they all know each other.

Unlike Yu Dongqing and his band, which disbanded shortly after graduation, Huabangzi Band has persisted and become one of the more active rock bands in China.

"Hey, tell Lu Ping and the others that we are going to drink together tonight." Yu Dongqing said with a smile on the phone.

"Do you even need to tell me? I've already booked the venue, but they have a performance tonight so I can't enjoy it to the fullest." Zhang Yang replied.

"Okay, I understand." After Yu Dongqing hung up the phone, he realized that the girl was staring at him blankly.

"Uncle, do you still know the band Huabangzi?"
