Chapter 39 A-3

The future is too far away, seize the day and night. After Gu Xiaoying left, Sang Li would still think of this sentence. She would think of Yiyi saying goodbye before leaving, Gu Xiaoying hugged her tightly, and said in her ear: "Li, the outside world is very big, let's go for a walk, you can't let the past crush you to death." She thought about Gu Xiaoying's words repeatedly, and gradually made up her mind. The next night, when Ma Yu came to watch Sang Li play the piano again, Sang Li said, "Ma Yu, does the performance at the art salon you mentioned last time count?"

Ma Yu was taken aback for a moment, and instantly became joyful: "Of course it counts." Sang Li nodded: "Then count me in." Ma Yu was very happy, and Sang Li added: "Don't reveal my real situation to others, just say that I am an extra." Ma Yu solemnly agreed. Sang Li asked again: "Where is the address?" Ma Yu replied: "The bars with a more cultural atmosphere in the city are probably 'Charming' and 'Shanghai 1936'. Last year's small theater drama festival was also held in these two bars. The latter itself has a gallery on the attic."

Sang Li thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'm preparing a few songs, I hope we can have a happy cooperation." She held out her hand with a smile, and Ma Yu held it, and also smiled: "It's a happy cooperation." Sang Li selected a total of four pieces, namely Schubert's "Trout", a Russian song, a Chinese song "I Live at the Head of the Yangtze River" and a Chinese folk song "Little River Flows".Because of song practice, "You and Me" closes an hour earlier every night.Occasionally Ma Yu would listen to Sang Li practicing singing, but most of the time he was busy preparing for the art salon and had little time to rest.

On the day of the official performance, Sang Li chose an improved black and red cheongsam, embellished with dark gold embroidery, and a piece of black lace embedded in the neckline, making the skin faintly visible, not only noble but also charming.Ma Yu went to pick up Sang Li, and the moment the door opened, he was a little dazed. After a long time, I realized the praise: "You are the thinnest bel canto singer I have ever seen." Sang Li turned his back to him, and locked the door while answering: "I am indeed much thinner than before. At that time, I had to support a solo concert with 12 songs. I was afraid that I would not be able to hold on, so I ate like hell. , I lost 10 catties in a month at the fastest time."

When the two went downstairs, Ma Yu sighed: "Then there are only two songs tonight, which is too easy for you." After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Why don't you sing "The Magic Flute"?" Sang Li smiled: "First, my singing of "The Magic Flute" is actually not very good; second, don't you think art songs are more suitable in today's environment?" After thinking about it carefully, Ma Yu had to admit that what Sang Li said was indeed right. The name "Mei Se" may sound a bit dusty, but inside it is a typical slow rocking bar with a peaceful and charming atmosphere.The music after 9 o'clock every night can drive people to catharsis, but it is not crazy.Sang Li basically doesn't have any nightlife in this city except to go to "you and me".It was the first time that I followed Ma Yu into "Charm" and saw the men and women who came to the art salon chatting quietly, the drinks mixed by the bartender also had strict alcohol limits, and the background music played on the DJ stage was Perlman's violin... ...Sang Li felt that he fell in love with this place soon.

It's night, and outside is a colorful city, but in "Glamour" is a gathering of music lovers.The salon time was about two hours, and Sang Li came in third.The first woman played the flute in black clothes and black trousers, and the second man sang "Volga Boatman Song" in white clothes and black trousers, all of which were excellent performances.When it was Sang Li's turn, she walked onto the stage slowly, and she was a little lost in the bright chasing light. However, after all, the stage was once a crucial part of Sang Li's life, she was distracted for a moment, and then quickly concentrated again.The piano accompaniment was a beautiful girl. Sang Li smiled and nodded at her, and the girl's hands immediately played a wonderful prelude.

It's Schubert's Trout. In the music, a group of brisk fish swims in the water, but the fisherman wants to catch them.Sang Li easily sang the joy of the fish and the crisis of the situation. His natural body language and vivid expressions almost made people sink into the scene by the creek that was first pleasant and soothing, and then thrilling. Her eyes were bright, and her whole body glowed with a strange brilliance under the light. Ma Yu was stunned, just stared blankly at the stage, holding her breath, as if she was afraid of breaking such a dream, and fearing that she would wake up from the dream and try again. I can't see this Sang Li who is different from the past and is full of energy.

He stared at her blankly. There was a little smile in the corner of her eyes, her arms were slightly spread out, and her eyes seemed to be following an invisible river in front of her. Her voice was playful, and she sang in German: "There is a small river in the bright river." Trout, swimming happily, like an arrow. I stood by the bank of the small river and looked at it quietly. In the clear river, it swims so happily..." However, the fisherman came and threatened her, and her eyes became tense: "The fisherman stood by the river bank with a hook, looked at it coldly, and wanted to catch the fish. I hope so in my heart, as long as the river is clear and bright , he can't even try to catch the little trout ashore..."

Gradually, he became heavy and regretful: "But the fisherman didn't want to waste time by waiting, he hurriedly disturbed the river, and before I had time to think, he had already caught the little trout ashore. I was full of anger to see the little trout fell into the trap... ..." A little playful and regretful ending, a light and beautiful smile, she bowed slightly, and called the curtain call. After a few seconds of silence, there was warm and orderly applause in the bar.Sang Li wanted to rest under the stage, but the waiter handed over a small note: Please sing another song.

The flamboyant handwriting was written in a hurry.Sang Li looked at the position pointed out by the waiter, but the man's face could not be seen clearly in the shadows.However, she could see that everyone off the stage was looking at her. People's expressions were very sincere, and the applause was restrained but warm.She thought for a while, nodded, turned around and walked back to the stage. This time, it was "I Live at the Head of the Yangtze River". "I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day and don't see you. We drink the water of the Yangtze River together. When will the water stop, and when will this hatred end. I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will never fail to love you..." Li Zhiyi wrote this song during the Northern Song Dynasty. Although there are no gorgeous words, it has ingenious ideas. Between loops and rhymes, a woman's longing is already on the paper.Nearly a thousand years later, a revolutionary named Li Qingzhu composed music for this poem.He is an excellent composer, and cleverly used this ancient love poem to express his remembrance of the martyrs and his yearning for a new tomorrow.Sang Li is well versed in the artistic conception of this song, blending firmness with affection and solemnity with sadness.

On the small stage, in a space so silent that there is no extra noise, there is only this woman, she sings with all her love and strength.She has a sad face, but she is firm and calm, her two hands are folded, gently protecting her chest, as if she is looking into the distance and singing: "I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will definitely live up to your love..." When the last note was put away, the people sitting on the soft sofa in the front row had stood up and applauded one after another. Sang Li looked away and saw the people looking at him with approval in front of him. A curtain call in an opera house is no different. Maybe the stage is not wide enough, maybe the crowd is not dense enough, but the same sincere applause tells you that people who really love and understand music will not deceive their ears.Moreover, in front of a good singing voice, I will not deceive my heart. It turns out that being able to sing for people who really love music and get their approval is the purest happiness in life, and it has nothing to do with the size of the stage or the size of the audience. Such a simple truth, but she had to go around such a big circle, and even paid almost the price of her entire youth to understand it. In the applause, Sang Li's eye sockets became moist. However, fortunately, everything is still in time. Because I am still alive, there is still time to love, and there is still time to be happy.
