Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

This year, the Midi Music Festival has a special theme: a tribute to Woodstock.

Fortunately, there is also Woodstock in this time and space.

As China's earliest original music festival, we specially paid tribute to Woodstock in 2019 because it best represents the spirit and significance of the music festival and is the beginning of the music festival's story.

Since then, the Woodstock Music Festival was born, with an unprecedented scale and lineup. Maurice Dickstein commented on this music festival in his famous book "Eden's Gate": There was only one time when music saved the world, and that was Woodstock. Trafigura. Some people say that the miracle of Woodstock provided the original definition of a music festival: a music festival is a short-lived utopia formed by a group of people with similar values ​​who gather together through music.

Half a century later, the Woodstock Music Festival has long disappeared, but young people are still passionate about their youth, and they are still obsessed with and longing for the utopian life in just a few days. There are more and more Chinese music such as midi, strawberry, and wheat field. The music festival still attracts them, and their stories continue to fascinate everyone.

The venue in Chongli is located by the scenic lake. The entire lake covers an area of ​​about 50,000 square meters. The lake and mountains are beautiful and the reflections are interesting. There are more than 10,000 square meters of lakeside shopping streets scattered around the lake. The Nordic scenery is close at hand. At night, the lake water reflects the lights. The dazzling night view is enchanting.

Of course, the ticket price is not cheap, 280 yuan/ticket.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the second day of the music festival officially started. Although it is midsummer, Chongli's altitude is 2,000 meters and the temperature is 20 degrees. It is a good time for outdoor activities.

The entire lakeside became a sea of ​​carnival. At five o'clock sharp, the Huabangzi Band came on stage to sing. Lu Ping was seen wearing a denim vest full of iron nails. Amidst the roar of the instruments, he held the microphone and sang their famous song hoarsely. .

"Swinging with Youth"

gradually disappear

Sing to immortality

Amplifier without speakers

A six string in the octave

loneliness, sadness

Rock and roll with dreams

Pierce the haze and scream with erection

flamboyant in roar

Off the stage, countless men and women jumped and roared to the rhythm of the music, and a girl wearing cool clothes and exposing her big white legs screamed: "Lu Ping, I love you! I want to marry you! I want to give birth to a monkey for you."

Yu Dongqing and the others stood at the end with beer cans and watched everything.

Lu Ping looked so energetic on stage, but who knew he had gone through so much pain?

"Dongqing, tell me, if those beautiful girls really knew Lu Ping, would they marry him?" Zhang Yang asked, holding a cigarette in his mouth and watching all this.

"Perhaps there will be a chance?" Yu Dongqing said lightly.

He sincerely hopes that Lu Ping can find a girl who truly loves her.

After the performance of the Huabangzi Band, another band came on the stage. Noisy and even harsh music sounded on the stage, but the audience went crazy again.

Death metal!

Yu Dongqing looked at the men on the stage wearing black T-shirts, bald heads and sunglasses, and immediately remembered the name of this band.

A very famous domestic rock band in this time and space - Hell Band!

"From the tumbling worlds of madness

There's a sound I've never heard before

Haunted murmurs echoed through the house

I don't know where it came from

Faceless creatures cast shadows

Lost for thousands of years

The lead singer on the stage was roaring and shouting, and the audience below the stage screamed wildly and raised their hands in metal rituals.

So-called metal rituals are hand gestures frequently used by live metal rock bands and fans. The correct metal ceremony is to straighten the index finger and little finger, bend the middle two fingers naturally, and press the thumb on these two fingers; if you extend the thumb, it means "I love you."

It turns out that Beyond in that time and space also used this gesture to express his love for musicians. However, this gesture is very similar to the gesture of the host in the variety show "Extraordinary Six Plus One", just like Spider-Man.

Of course, Yu Dongqing would not follow the fans and make such gestures like an idiot. He does not like so-called death metal rock.

"Brother, let's stay away, we're going to have Pogo." Du Hui reminded the other three with a smile.

The word Pogo should come from extreme sports, which refers to vertical jumping on the spot. In music festivals, it refers to jumping around with the music.

Pogo in the narrow sense mainly refers to the punk scene, while pogo in the broad sense covers a series of live activities such as metal headbanging, folk hoops, train driving, punk collisions, and diving.

In heavy metal rock performances, the craziest scene can easily appear: the "Wall of Death".

When musicians ask everyone on stage to "clear the middle," fans automatically retreat to the sides. People on both sides will start to clash, charging into each other like a charge!

This is a thing that die-hard rock fans love to play. Yu Dongqing and others in their thirties will certainly not participate in such dangerous activities.

As soon as the musician on the stage gave the order, the fans on both sides of the front of the stage began to retreat, leaving a large open space in the middle, and people from both sides stared eagerly.

Pogo is about to begin!

Du Hui and the others immediately left the stage, and Yu Dongqing suddenly saw the little girl with yellow hair who had hitched a ride with him, dancing excitedly to the music.

And her location is right in front of Pogo's "Wall of Death" on the left side of the stage!

Damn it!

At first glance, it seems like a rookie who has never participated in this kind of music festival.

Didn't you see that the people participating in the collision across from you were all young men, tall and tall? Those ordinary fans who know better have been hiding away for a long time.

Can your small body withstand the collision of those men across from you?

Yu Dongqing had even noticed the malicious look on the face of the tall, strong man opposite the little girl Xiu.

Danger!

"You go first!"

Yu Dongqing said something and pushed forward with all her strength.

Finally he reached the girl who was still screaming and jumping on the stage and grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing?!" The girl came to her senses and recognized the uncle who gave her a lift.

"Danger! Leave quickly!"

Before the girl understood anything, she heard an overwhelming sound, and fans on both sides began to charge!

Yu Dongqing was immediately surrounded by the crowd, and involuntarily rushed to the opposite side. Seeing that the other person was about to hit him, Yu Dongqing hugged the little girl in his arms, and suddenly turned his back to the crowd rushing towards him.

"rogue!"

The girl screamed, and just as she was about to struggle, she heard a roar like a landslide, and the two sides finally collided with each other.

"Bang!"

Yu Dongqing was hit hard on the back, and he stumbled and stood up quickly. If he fell down at this time, he would be completely finished!

I don’t know how many big feet are stepping on you!

However, Yu Dongqing has experience in playing this. If he bends down, keeps his center of gravity down, and keeps his feet steady, it won't be a big deal.

But the girl in his arms seemed to be frightened and lay motionless in Yu Dongqing's arms. She did not expect that such a dangerous situation would arise.

People were screaming and surging around them, and they were like a small boat in the sea following the crowd until the tide receded and the crowd became quiet.

"Be careful from now on, have fun, safety first!" Yu Dongqing looked at the pale girl in his arms, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.

Du Hui and the others were waiting anxiously outside the crowd. Yu Dongqing squeezed into the crowd, but they didn't see him. They were relieved to see Yu Dongqing back safely.

"I said Dongqing, I didn't expect you to be interested in this thing. Aren't you worried about your old arms and legs being damaged?" Zhang Yang asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Hey, it's okay, isn't this good?" Yu Dongqing waved his arm, looking nonchalant, but his back still hurt a little.

Oh shit.

The collision just now was so powerful!

Wish everyone a happy New Year’s Day
