West of the past life
Unexpectedly, many years later, I received his letter and heard his singing. I was surprised, thinking that I would never see such a person again, as he said: If I could, I would erase all this and disappear into the vast sea of people. . .
In the summer of 2006, the insiders had a new place to go, and everyone rushed to tell each other that Chaoyang opened a bar called Bird Fish (now the name is gone), which was very popular, especially at night 10. Every day after the program starts, at around 10: 20, a handsome white guy in the south will sing a few songs on time. At first, it didn't attract much attention, and everyone felt that singing was average. But a week later, everyone gradually found that all the songs chosen by this young man were tasteful. He can sing beautifully, sweetly and elegantly, whether it is high-pitched singing or affectionate tunes. Coupled with his unique delicacy and softness, the guests gradually began to pay attention to him, but his whereabouts were secretive, unlike other actors, who would accompany the guests to tip after the performance. Every time he finished singing, there was no one around except.
Several of our senior drinkers were soon regarded as regular customers by the boss, and there were always some special treatments to enjoy. In addition, the boss is also a colleague in his twenties, and we soon became friends. Every time I come, sometimes the boss personally accompanies me and has a good chat. One day, chen xi was singing on the stage, and we were sitting on the floor with our boss. Someone asked: Who is this boy? The boss has a good eye!
The boss smiled and said, I didn't invite this casually, but a friend I met in Changsha. He came to Beijing to attend a lecture at Ren Huan University. It happened that I was going to open a bar, and my business was not good at first, and I didn't have the strength to invite too many big-name actors. He said he would come to the bar to help me sing at night. At first I thought he was joking, so I asked him to audition with the dj. It was fun. As a result, the DJ actually said yes, it can be used. So he came to help sing three songs every day.
I have a friend who is an old player. He asked the boss: What students! It's all a cover. What is the price? You can afford it.
The boss smiled apologetically: No! I dare not offend. I am really a student, very simple. I wanted to pay him at first, but he didn't want it. For a time, he sang for me for free. He said, consider me playing here and singing KTV. He is kind and sincere to people. I really regard him as a brother. Let him go and do whatever you want.
Seeing that what the boss said is true, friends no longer embarrass him, but everyone is a little more curious and interested in this singer, which is also the best moment for us to see him. No one would have thought that the boy singing in a low voice was walking on an endless road.
I can't help going to bars whenever I have time, not for other reasons. After listening to his three songs, I will leave. Although he doesn't have his own originality and is not a well-trained professional singer, compared with many actors who pretend to be crazy, charming, charming, confident and even beautiful as soon as they take the stage, his feeling is really unique and has a youthful atmosphere. Many years later, we will still remember his style, and we all remember his Christmas special "Pure American West".
Just like the way I looked at him, many people gradually felt his difference. He is famous in the circle, and many guests come to the bar for him. The bar also noticed his value. From his original single singing, the lineup is becoming more and more luxurious. A lot of props were added at first. For example, he will sit on the hanging basket falling from the sky, sing on the lifting turntable, sing in the fireworks and sing in the fountain. His delicate and soft singing voice is beautiful. Later, there were more dancers, some singing fast and some singing slow. He even began to learn to dance with the actors in the song, sometimes wearing interactive plots in tune with the lyrics. He sings and dances, his movements are smart and his style is becoming more and more mature.
To this day, the dancing beauty of this bird and fish is still a well-known celebrity. Famous stylists in the circle are called "charming family" because their makeup is very charming and exaggerated. Many people like his style, because it is so tasteful that it is easy to impress everyone. However, Sung Hee Lee's modeling has never been as he wished. He doesn't like makeup that is too charming and charming. He always chooses the most humble and simple clothes and always tells attractive people that I want the simplest hairstyle. But he is good at picking things, preferring feathers, velvet and other materials, and likes to coordinate colors. Once, I saw with my own eyes that he put a small white suit with silver sequins worn by ordinary actors and a white fluffy skirt with fluffy yarn for women's wear together and turned it into a very fashionable and chic dress. Wearing a white hat and a little eye shadow, she surprised the audience as soon as she came on stage, as noble as a prince.
He gradually became popular and more people joined in. This situation and environment is a temptation for anyone, and his unique temperament will be changed by this complex environment, and many people will soon lose sight of it. What I didn't expect, however, was that he still had that unique feeling, that lofty in his bones. Attend classes during the day, come at 9: 30 in the evening, leave at 10: 50 on time, rehearse three times a week, don't talk to anyone close to him, don't accept any tips, and don't drink. In particular, the boss asked me to give him more money, from the original 150 yuan to 300 yuan a day, but he refused. He said, I'll be an amateur singer, as long as I don't smash the venue. I can't stand it if it goes too far.
However, he won't smash the field, and his seriousness about anything is admirable. I saw one of his rehearsals. Although he only had to wear a few moves with the accompaniment when singing, he didn't stop to practice the whole dance with everyone for more than two hours. The director told him that some parts were unnecessary, and he said, it doesn't matter. If he accidentally forgets his words while singing, he can make up for it with these jokes. He never sings casually like others, and always checks every word and every sound carefully. This is very demanding for many professional singers, but he said, I am a non-professional singer. Only by trusting and respecting the original author can I sing well. He thought he had no professional training, so he didn't want to change the original. On the stage, if he feels that his performance is slightly wrong, he will automatically sing a little song to show his respect for the guests. Respect and humility for his professional work is the embodiment of his personal accomplishment, and it is also the reason why he finally became the most popular fellow singer in Beijing.
His singing is becoming more and more popular and his singing skills are getting better and better. Instead of ordering three tracks a day as at the beginning, he learned to temporarily decide the intermission songs every day according to the number of people, atmosphere and different types of guests in the venue. He usually sang popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan at that time, and later some nostalgic songs catered to the tastes of guests of more ages. One day, a group of guests from Tai Huan Bay came to the bar. After singing the second song, he suddenly made a slight gesture. The DJ stopped the music and the lights dimmed. He began to sing "Looking at the Spring Breeze" in Minnan. His expression is calm and his breathing is soft. Everyone is quiet, and occasionally you can hear the sound of clinking glasses. A song must be sung, and the guests in Taihuan Bay applauded excitedly and kept saying one song after another in Minnan. He sang Teresa Teng's Love as an exception, which was the beginning of his singing transformation.
One day, just after he finished singing, a guest spoke to the DJ in front of the stage before he stepped off the stage. At that time, there was a loud noise in the meeting. He said it several times and no one could hear it clearly. At this time, Li Chengxi noticed him and turned to stop on the stage, signaling everyone to be quiet. The guest said a vague Chinese to Sung Hee Lee. Sung Hee Lee immediately realized his pronunciation and communicated with him. Surprisingly, he switched to fluent Japanese. The dialogue probably means that the man takes out a tip and asks him to sing another song. He declined politely: the actors behind him were also well prepared. If I continue to extend the time, others will lose the opportunity to perform. Please cheer for them. If you can come tomorrow, I will give you a special surprise. After that, he made a deep Japanese gift. He spoke Japanese softly with a microphone. Although many people can't understand it, he seems to have seen a prince charming coming out of a Japanese cartoon. Those guests who thought Sung Hee Lee was just a singer were surprised. It turns out that the knowledge and talent contained in the thin body of this handsome southern guy are beyond the reach of so many people, and his temperament reveals an extremely attractive mystery and massiness.
The next night, the Japanese guest and some of his friends sat in the nearest position to the entrance of the stage, waiting for his performance. At the beginning of the performance, the lights shone, he appeared as promised, and three songs fell, which made no difference in peace. Everything is perfect. Suddenly a Japanese drama "Am I an Ugly Woman? Appear on the big screen. Seiko Matsuda, a famous Japanese actress, sang the theme song "Big Cut". After playing Seiko Matsuda's first original song, the DJ turned the track and the dancers appeared. He began to sing and dance rhythmically and pronounced in Japanese. This is a very popular female song in Japan. After careful arrangement by DJ, his style is very suitable for Sung Hee Lee. Perhaps during the rehearsal, DJ found that Sung Hee Lee's cover was close to or even better than the original, and he cleverly arranged that the first two sentences were the original, which made him better than later. "Da Qie なぁなた" is the song that everyone later became familiar with called "The Most Important You". These Japanese guests wouldn't have thought that their unexpected actions affected his whole singing experience, and also created the real glory of Sung Hee Lee's reputation in the gay circle in Beijing.
From the first accidental attempt to cover the female song Teresa Teng's "Love" to the successful performance of "The Most Important You", his breakthrough in style was recognized by everyone, and later he covered a series of female songs, which was very popular. His coverage of female voices is different from that of ordinary boys. He doesn't use the original sound of eight steps like others, nor is he a complete female voice like those who sing in cross talk. He only sang the original sound two steps down, and the high-pitched part was a combination of true and false sounds. This different way makes his singing basically continue the tune pitch and pronunciation characteristics of the original song, and a male voice can be heard on the sound line, so that the shape is different but the spirit is similar. This kind of singing often makes people feel wrong and makes full use of the advantages of his voice. The attentive audience noticed that he was born with almost no Adam's apple, and his high voice was very elegant and personable. Especially in some Teresa Teng tracks that he covers, people will see in a trance that there will be an unparalleled biography of Teresa Teng in his male body. The song "Big Cut", that is, "The Most Important You", created a myth. The longest duet record is eight, and the arrangement is always new. At most, there are more than 20 dancers, which is very threatening. One of the lyrics sings, "Are you my him?" This word is repeated four times in the song. Every time he reaches out and points to a direction in the venue, the audience in that direction will collectively stand up and answer "Yes!" In Japanese. It can be seen that it has become popular. Later, his cover "The Sun Never Sets" also reached such a height. Once, someone named him in Jolin Tsai's English.
At night, he is a shining star, and many stars hold the moon. After putting on makeup, he was charming and holding a microphone. During the day, he is really an ordinary student. People who met him during the day said that only those who met Sung Hee Lee, a student, knew the real Sung Hee Lee, carrying a schoolbag and wearing a pair of exquisite glasses. Their temperament is very quiet and simple. They are honest children who haven't grown up. They are completely different. Because I have to wear makeup for a long time, my face skin is not very good and my smile is very sweet. It is well known that he doesn't like glitz. At that time, the talent show was popular all over the country, and everyone said that he was in his current state and would get good results in any competition. Many media people are in the circle and know him. Someone arranged a program for him, but he never cared about others' recommendation and refused, saying: singing is not my specialty, not my profession. Let those who have studied hard show it. Although he refused to participate in the program, everyone still knows that he is a talent in many aspects and a vocal genius. His grandmother was a famous singer in Shanghai and recorded many vinyl records during the Republic of China. Her mother is also a good family, and she is excellent at piano, chess, painting and calligraphy. Genetic music cells are rooted in his body. He is a polyhedron, elegant and mysterious, which makes more people fascinated by him. At that time, there was no "twelve handsome" now. At that time, the four most popular handsome guys in the circle were called "Beijing Four Little Boys". All four people fell in love with Sung Hee Lee, but none of them had a chance to succeed.
One day, Master Cha, who ranked third among the four teenagers, went to a bar to watch a performance. His last name is Cha, and he deserves to be a standard bearer and a dude. He followed Sung Hee Lee to the dressing room with a glass of wine, and Sung Hee Lee's reaction was also very interesting. The people present said that it was as if he had seen a wonderful costume drama "Famous actors fight evil teenagers" in the Qing Dynasty. Master Cha stepped forward and eagerly introduced himself. Before he could speak, Li Chengxi turned around and nodded. "Thank you for joining us today." . Master Cha was surprised. He doesn't want Li Chengxi to know him, and he doesn't want to be called Third Master. At the scene, everyone laughed and laughed. Before Sung Hee Lee figured it out, he said, Third Master shouldn't come to a place like this.
The tea master made up his mind and said, "I'm here to watch the opera and want to invite you to dinner." Please come. " .
Sung Hee Lee packed his things and strode to the door, saying all the way: The clouds behind Third Master are chasing the moon, so why go down to Ba Li alone?
Master Cha blushed and turned white for three rounds. Being called Third Master means that he is poor, that he shouldn't come to the dressing room, that he has no rules, that the colorful clouds behind him chase the moon, and that he is philandering on weekdays. Now, it seems, Sung Hee Lee later time is not so don't understand amorous feelings, at least he used to know SiShao. However, it is said that it was Sung Hee Lee's talent that really retired Cha Shuai. Cha Shuai later drank too much and said to himself: Only such a person can learn good manners and know how to give in. Just because his sentence "Clouds chasing the moon, get off the bus" gave me a feeling that I liked it at first sight but didn't dare to invade it.
Sung Hee Lee doesn't like sishao. It's not that they're not handsome enough. He chose feeling. There is a person he has always loved deeply. At the same time that his singing skills are booming, a book about him broke out on the Internet, called Changsha Last Night. It tells the story of his love affair with her boyfriend from Changsha who is engaged in modeling. The delicate and warm story infected everyone and enhanced his popularity. At first, who was the target was always vague. Cut off contact with him just because I don't want to affect that person's professional image, and I won't mention his identity at will. But some people still know that a man named Yang Bin frequently comes into everyone's sight, but no one can find out his real name. The more they cover it up, the more it explodes. One day, he sang softly, not loud enough. As a result, a good audience jokingly wrote a sign, and while booing, six words flashed "Princess Bin, speak up". When everyone understood, they all shouted "Princess Bin, Princess Bin". Li Chengxi was startled when he heard this, and his face turned pale and he was so scared that he was at a loss. At this time, in order to fulfill his feelings and career, he began to completely give up the idea of being with Vencent Yang, which was also the root of his later emotional life and all his pains.
He has too many stories to tell in the past few days, and now there is very little news about him online, which is probably the result of his efforts to eliminate them in recent years. Because, in those days, he was so lonely in the clouds that no one understood him. People slowly began to surround him with money, jealousy, intrigue and rhetoric. I remember one time, an audience was drunk and offered a toast to Sung Hee Lee with a wine bottle. When he approached him, he fell down and his hand was bleeding. Later, Sung Hee Lee bought an ambulance at his own expense. He said, "Standing on the stage, I just serve every guest, including taking care of their safety." He is such a person, affectionate and righteous. Later, there were many rumors that Sung Hee Lee had a crush on that man at that time, and it was a cover to send him to the hospital. After knowing him, I often go to hotels with him. Later, there was a story about this, which was even more outrageous and made him sad.
With the rumor, he came to the top and end of the singing story. I haven't been able to talk to my boss, who calls me brother. He is going to finish his studies and return to Changsha. Such a good reason can't be better. After repeated persuasion, he finally agreed to give a special performance. Christmas is an important day. Posters are flying all over the sky, such as "I have Sung Hee Lee for Christmas" and "All-American Western Concert". The audience craned their necks to wait for the preparations and drills in full swing, but his appearance was so monotonous that no one reflected it. On this day, he sat in the audience. He picked up the guitar for the first time. He pointed to the small stage and said slowly, Usually, I just stand there. Today, I am tired. I want to feel the feeling of looking up at the stage among you. At this time, he softly played the song he sang when he first appeared on the stage-love song 1990. After that, everything is the grandest. The lighting, acoustics and layout are all worthy of Christmas dinner. Almost all his songs with the highest singing rate have been commented, and everyone enjoys the joy of the festival in the carnival. At the end of the last song, he came back to thank you again: I have been singing and singing songs that everyone likes, but I still have an inner song that I really want to bring to you today. Then, he sang the song I don't know why, but all the lyrics were changed by him. This is the first time he has revised this song in Chinese. He is singing his inner expectation and helplessness. There is a lyric: I will start even if I know it will end. Although there will be pain, I know you won't let me bear it alone.
At the last curtain call, he announced that this was his last performance, and everyone was in an uproar. He said, goodbye, I love you. When I walk off this stage, I hope you can forget me completely. If one day, someone sees me walking hand in hand with my lover in the vast sea of people, please don't say hello, just bless me silently in your heart. After a long bow of thanks, he passed away, leaving only a sigh. Since then, there have been no singers in Beijing. . . . . .
