The King of Variety Entertainment

The middle-aged worker said: Hello everyone, my name is Li Jianguo, I am 42 years old, and I am from the Yangtze River Delta. I am an assembly worker for Foxconn.

No wonder he came up wearing a worker's uniform, but considering that he is 42 years old, He Jiong asked: Then are you working in the front line now, or have you entered the management?

Li Jianguo said shyly, I was just promoted to production monitor last year.

Foxconn has a relatively standard promotion method. There are promotion opportunities every few years. In addition to the direct supervisor assessment scores, there are requirements for employees’ education and experience. Even if you are 42 years old, you can survive until promotion. This is more agreeable. Actually, if he said that he was still a front-line employee, none of the three judges would believe it, and mutual trust would be greatly compromised.

He Jiong asked, What are you going to perform today?

I'm going to play the guitar and sing.

Li Jianguo turned his head and motioned for the staff to bring the guitar up for him.

oh?

The audience was in an uproar, and immediately became interested. Finally, a singer who played guitar came, and he was an elderly technical employee of Foxconn. This is very rare!

Moreover, Li Jianguo's voice is not pleasant. A migrant worker of his age may not have received a good education after he was young. It sounds rough, would it be nice for such a person to play and sing by himself? Everyone is suspicious!

When the staff brought the guitar over, He Jiong smiled and said, You know, on the talent show stage, singing is very difficult to be recognized. Because everyone can sing, unless you sing very well, let People think it’s amazing, and even Yang Ge’er is surprised, so you can get a Pass card, are you mentally prepared for this?”

Yang An also smiled and said, I'm very strict!

The audience chuckled. Yang An was obviously in charge of commenting on singing contestants. He commented on Peking opera contestants and rappers yesterday. It's a pity that both of them failed. The first one to come on stage today is a folk singer, no Do you know if Yang An will issue his first pass card among singing contestants?

I will do my best to sing well!

Li Jianguo smiled at the corner of his mouth, he was not nervous, he buckled his straps, adjusted the microphone stand in front of him, and then sat on the high stool.

The lights dimmed, and there was only Li Jianguo on the stage. At this moment, he was holding the guitar, and his image and temperament changed completely.

It is very different from the image of the workers just now.

A soft arpeggio and a gentle prelude sounded. This is the fingering of a C chord, but Li Jianguo played tricks with his right hand, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate. The sound is dense, the timbre is accurate, there are no noises and flaws, and the basic skills are very solid. .

Twice!

Everyone said this sentence in their hearts, and continued to listen.

After eight cycles of prelude bars, Li Jianguo began to sing:

...

How much youth is left in my hand,

Missing how much suffering,

Occasionally clean used combs,

The lines of time are left behind.

I hope your world is all right,

When I think of your smile,

I have no intention of rereading the love letter from that year,

Time is long, youth is getting old

...

The main tune of C, Am, F, G, relaxed melody, slightly hoarse lyrical singing, coupled with charming and catchy lyrics, this is a typical school ballad!

nice!

The three judges exchanged glances with each other, Yang An hummed softly, He Jiong and Xu Jinglei also shook their heads and smiled, very very relaxed, and all the audience also smiled, as if thinking of their youthful years, when they were studying the most. happy hour.

After Li Jianguo hummed a section of la la la, he entered the chorus part:

...

The period of acquaintance and mutual promise that can't go back is beautiful,

all shining on yellowed letter paper,

That is the verse mark of youth,

Now that I read it, my heart still beats,

Do you still remember that beautiful period,

Perhaps the letter to you has long since been thrown away,

That's the best way to miss you,

you've got it elsewhere

...

A very sad memory, a scene seems to appear in everyone's minds, Li Jianguo and his first love girlfriend spent a happy boyhood together, but unfortunately the two could not get together due to various reasons, he couldn't give the first love what he wanted. The reality of his life is too cruel, he can only watch his first love become someone else's wife from a distance, and then silently send his blessings.

Many people were moved, the melody was sad, the lyrics were sad, and the singing was also sad. The emotion in the singing was very full. Li Jianguo's hoarse voice fit perfectly with it. The performance of this song was perfect!

Clap clap!

One person started to applaud, which led everyone to applaud together. The audience cheered and gave the applause to Li Jianguo, thanking him for bringing everyone into good memories. It was a little sad and a little touching.

Yang An did his part, and was the first to comment: I have to say, this original song really touched me. What's the name of the song?

Li Jianguo smiled happily: The Beauty That Can't Go Back!

Yang An smiled: Very good name, you should know that my guitar teacher is Mr. Liu Feng, the father of campus folk songs. I started playing guitar from campus folk songs. This song The Beauty That Can't Go Back, I feel Seeing that familiar smell made my heart resonate with me at the moment, and I was excited together, you moved me. Very good!

The audience applauded, and Li Jianguo stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

Yang An continued to ask: You usually play the guitar as a hobby, do you do original work?

Yes, that's pretty much all the time outside of work.

Is it mainly doing campus folk song creation?

No, I can accept any music, and I have tried it, rock, pop, rap, folk, a little bit.

Wow!

The audience was in an uproar, this uncle is amazing, this is an all-around singer!

Xu Jinglei laughed from the side: Brother Yang ten years later...

Hahaha!

The audience burst into laughter, He Jiong slapped the table with laughter, Li Jianguo giggled, Yang An froze for a moment, heaved a long sigh, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, bowed his head, mother, I will be more handsome than this big brother in ten years, okay?

After laughing, Yang An said: Have you ever composed a rock song? Can you sing a few lines?

Li Jianguo obviously came prepared. He fiddled with the guitar twice, then turned his head and nodded to Ma Xin. Ma Xin held some accompaniment discs in his hand, and put down the BGM of the rock song. Take control.

With the sound of impassioned drums, Li Jianguo turned the acoustic guitar into an electric guitar. The fingers of his left hand changed rapidly, and his right hand played, plucked, swiped, or cut. Field exclaimed.

The audience was overjoyed!

Li Jianguo roared directly to the chorus part. This is a song roaring to fate. He fights against unfairness and is unwilling to bow to fate. He can hear the positive energy and unyielding fighting spirit in his songs.

Yang An was quite shocked. After listening to rap and pop, Li Jianguo could quickly change his style and play and sing his own original songs.

Pretty good!

Are these songs original by him? That's great!

Brother Yang ten years later, this statement is absolutely true!

Don't flatter me, I'm not as good as him in one point.

Facing the happy ridicule of He Jiong and Xu Jinglei, Yang An said seriously: I am also a songwriter. I know how difficult it is to create a song. The meaning and rhythm of the lyrics, the combination of melody and emotion, often we create a song. The song has to be revised many times and reworked many times. And have you noticed that Brother Li's lyrics are poetic, full of emotion, and full of philosophy!

Is there such a god?

Both He Jiong and Xu Jinglei couldn't believe it. Yang An asked, Brother Li, I want to ask, are you satisfied with your current life? What is your dream?

Li Jianguo said with a smile: I am quite satisfied with my current life, but I want to quit my job at Foxconn after my daughter graduates from university and concentrate on creating music. My dream is to express my attitude towards life through singing, Embody my inner thoughts, use my eyes to observe the world, and let my songs bring thinking and resonance to everyone.

The audience applauded. This 42-year-old factory mechanic is very thoughtful and can persist, which is not easy.

Yang An kept applauding, sighing and feeling for a long time, He Jiong knew that Yang An had cherished talent, so he tried to ask first: Brother Yang, is there anything else you want to say?

Yang An thought for a while and said: Let me say one last thing. There is a folk poet in the United States, Bob Dylan, who is over 70 years old this year. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature as a musician. It has never happened before in the history of Bell. Bob Dylan has been insisting on his own musical path for fifty years, never kitsch, never caring about the mainstream of society, for decades, insisting on expressing himself with music, singing with singing Anti-war, civil rights, etc., sing satirical and indignant songs with poetic language. Maybe Li Ge, me, and many other songwriters will never reach Bob Dylan's level in their lifetime. Height, but we still have to learn his spirit, I think this is the soul of our music creators!

The audience applauded for a long time, and Li Jianguo sighed and sighed. He got off the high stool, stood on the stage and bowed to Yang An for a long time.

In ancient times, there are allusions about high mountains and flowing water, and it is hard to find a bosom friend. If a person has a bosom friend, this is the greatest happiness.

Li Jianguo is like this. He still has a very difficult story behind him. He has wasted a lot of money in pursuit of music over the years. His weird behavior has caused him to lose many opportunities for promotion and several good jobs. He had to work in a factory in his 30s. His family didn't understand him, and his colleagues thought he was weird. He had a hard time going all the way.

Yang An is his bosom friend, he feels that he can be appreciated by Yang An, and he will die without regret.

Next comes the voting session.
