Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 660 The direction of the sea

Just as Duan Yun plucked the strings, everyone in the restaurant focused their eyes on him.

This "Girl in the Flower House" is also one of Cui Jian's famous works. It was the title song of his album in 1989. The beautiful guitar and chord playing of "Girl in the Flower House" and the joint performance of guitar and saxophone in the second half, plus Cui Jian The hoarse and penetrating singing makes people intoxicated and moved.

Duan Yun was a fan of Cui Jian a long time ago. When he was learning guitar in college, he played this song many times. Even though he has never touched the guitar for many years after graduating from college, he can still play it completely now.

And in Duan Yun's opinion, Cui Jian's "Girl in the Flower House" is also the most suitable for unplugged performance.

Duan Yun's fingers only lightly touched the strings, and the familiar feeling from his college days came to his mind instantly.

The beautiful guitar melody instantly resounded throughout the restaurant. The prelude of this song is very romantic and the rhythm is quite penetrating.

Duan Yun just played a prelude, Cui Jian and other members of the band showed surprise expressions on their faces, and the foreigners who were dining in the restaurant also put down their knives and forks one after another. Attracted by the tune.

"I walked by you alone,
I have nothing to say to you,

I dare not look up at you, Oh, face..."

Although Duan Yun's voice is not as vicissitudes and penetrating as the famous Cui Jian, it has a different style and taste.

At the moment of speaking, it seemed that countless memories flooded into my heart instantly.

Duan Yun thought of his parents in his previous life, the good times in college, and the sweetness and tenderness of himself and his fiancée Xiao Luo.

Although reborn in this era, everything in the past is like a dream, and he also has a new life, but that period of time is still an indelible memory.

So when singing this song, Duan Yun can be said to be very affectionate, the tune is sonorous and powerful, and there is a touch of sadness.

"...you ask me where I'm going,
I point to the direction of the sea,
Your surprise is like to me, oh. Praise.
You take me into your flower room, I can't escape the scent of flowers,

I unconsciously forgot, oh, the direction,

You say I am the strongest in the world, I say you are the kindest in the world,

Before I knew it, I was the same as Hua'er, oh..."

When the song was halfway through, Cui Jian and other troupe members beside him were completely stunned by Duan Yun's singing.

Although Duan Yun's singing level is not particularly brilliant, such tunes and performance forms can be said to be extremely advanced and shocking in this era.

At this time, Cui Jian and his band members have not yet started to develop into rock music. At present, they are most exposed to jazz. This song sung by Duan Yun is neither popular nor bel canto, nor is it jazz style. It sounds a bit rough , but has a strong sense of rhythm and has a strong impact on hearing.

Not only Cui Jian and their band members, but even the foreign guests eating in the restaurant at this time also felt the strong shock of this rock style. Some people even stood up and looked at Duan Yun. full of surprise and admiration.

"...I want to go back to the old place,
I want to walk on the old road,
That's when I realized I couldn't do without you, oh, girl! "

Duan Yun plucked the strings quickly and skillfully, and his singing voice was loud and emotional, full of his memories of the past, revealing his true feelings, and extremely contagious.

And when he finished singing this song, the entire restaurant was silent.

But soon, the scene burst into warm applause, not only Cui Jian and his band members, but also the foreigners present, and even the lobby manager of the restaurant and several waitresses clapped their hands desperately. I was shocked by Duan Yun's singing.

"Good good!"

"Oh, my god, this is wonderful."

Several foreigners in the front row gave Duan Yun a thumbs up.

"Brother, you are really awesome!"

"It sings so well!"

"That's called singing!"

Cui Jian and several band members also surrounded Duan Yun one after another, with admiration in their eyes.

For Cui Jian and several other members, the style of this song by Duan Yun is something they have never seen before. Moreover, Duan Yun sings with deep affection and strong appeal, which makes them feel refreshed, and they can't help feeling a little bit fond of Duan Yun. Students admire.

"You wrote this song?" Cui Jian asked in surprise.

"Well, when I had nothing to do, I made up a song myself." Duan Yun hesitated, but finally nodded.

In fact, it is a wonderful thing for Duan Yun to be able to perform his classic songs in front of his student idols. He wonders if this song will change Cui Jian’s future music route because of the butterfly effect, but Duan Yun I still want to sing this song.

"You can compose and sing your own songs, and you can sing so well, what do you do, old man?" Cui Jian asked again in doubt.

"I'm the owner of an electronics factory, and I really like music." Duan Yun said to Cui Jian with a smile.

"This time I really believe it!" Cui Jian patted Duan Yun on the shoulder and said, "Let's do it, we'll be off work in half an hour, let's talk in another place if we have anything to say."

"Success!" Duan Yun replied very simply.

Then Duan Yun returned to his dining table, continued to eat dinner, and waited for Cui Jian and the others to get off work.

At this time, several foreigners on other tables in the restaurant greeted Duan Yun one after another, and Duan Yun also politely began to talk to these foreigners in foreign languages.

Seeing Duan Yun speak foreign languages ​​so fluently, those foreigners were also very surprised, so that soon some foreigners invited Duan Yun to have dinner with them at the same table.

Duan Yun didn't refuse, he happily accepted the invitation and sat with these foreigners.

In the early 80s, more and more foreigners came to Beijing. Apart from the embassies and consulates stationed in Beijing and foreign students, many of them were tourists.

But generally speaking, there are relatively few foreigners in BJ, and they are often surrounded by people when they walk on the street, but it is still very rare for Chinese people who can really speak foreign languages ​​and communicate with foreigners, so when foreigners in these restaurants see After Duan Yun was able to speak fluent English, while feeling surprised, he was also willing to chat with this unusual young man.

The staff at the same table with Duan Yun were from the British embassy in China. There were 6 people in total. After the conversation, Duan Yun was surprised to learn that one of them, an old man named Makeni, was the minister of the British embassy in China. , the others are counselors, secretaries and drivers.
