Wen Liang also invited He Panshan this time, which He Tianran did not expect.
So after the show, when all the performing bands gathered at a late-night food stall for dinner, the sudden appearance of this business tycoon surprised everyone!
Of course, the identity of the boss of He Panshan Shanhai Group is just a significant added value in the eyes of this group of music players. What really makes them respect him is this man, who once had great success in the Hong Kong rock circle. identity.
In our country, almost every first- and second-tier city has a group of independent music circles. They are usually divided by city and region. With the rise of hip-hop rap in recent years, ordinary people have gradually discovered this, but as early as the second-tier city Thirty years ago, rock and roll did the same thing.
In a city, there are always one or two people who can personally participate in the development of local independent music. This is the case for rap and rock. This kind of music is all imported. At that time, what young people played was just new, maybe at the beginning. It’s not all that good, but as I played, I somehow got involved in this history, and even became a figure that this kind of local music can’t get around.
This kind of person is definitely not well-known nationwide, but locally, anyone who is exposed to this kind of music will always hear such names from the older generation, and they must have never seen them before. How capable it is depends on the bragging ability of the elder who tells the legendary stories to the younger generations...
And He Panshan is such a figure in the rock circle of Hong Kong City.
The OG among OGs, the Italian among veterans, he is the one to name it.
Perhaps his achievements in the business field are so extraordinary and dazzling that he is considered a legend both inside and outside the circle, but when it comes to people in Hong Kong City, no one does not recognize him.
"Hey, Lu Fangfang, you played the drums well today!"
When Alan Lu saw He Panshan coming, his expression was very excited. He stood up involuntarily and started to stand at attention. Unexpectedly, when the other party spoke a word, Wei Xing, who was drinking water by the side, almost spit out a mouthful of water...
Lu Fangfang?
No wonder Brother A usually doesn’t let these younger generations know his full name...
"Dad, why are you here?"
He Tianran was very surprised to see his father appear here...
"What? I can't come? Your boss even came to see my performance back then!"
"That's right! Brother He, sit down!"
Alan Lu hurriedly took his seat. He Panshan was right. When He Panshan performed on stage, he and Park Zhikun were the ones in the audience who were responsible for waving the flag and cheering. However, there were several more senior band teachers present. There was also Brother He on the left, and Lao He on the right.
"Of course, I called Uncle He. Didn't your driver say he wanted to see you perform last time? I thought this was our band's first performance and it was of great significance, so I wanted uncle to come and have a look and give some advice. …”
Wen Liang said softly beside him.
He Panshan was arranged to sit next to He Tianran. The old man passing by patted the little girl on the head and said:
"Well done, keep going next time."
The girl playfully stuck out her tongue at her dazed boyfriend.
After He Panshan sat down, he took out his sleeves in a businesslike manner, and the people next to him hurriedly greeted him and brought a pair of bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses.
"Today...you did a good job..."
The old man said casually to his son.
"Ah... um."
Being praised by his father in front of his boss and friends made He Tianran quite uncomfortable. He responded with a slightly stiff response and then stopped.
Fortunately, Alan Lu, who was on the side, immediately smiled and said: "Brother He, this guy fucked all of us old guys today, did you see the scene? It's really scary! Come on, Brother He, we haven't seen each other for a long time, One goes first, one goes!"
A group of people raised their glasses and clinked their glasses together, congratulating themselves on Panshanhuang Tang. They immediately shook their heads: "Hey, don't praise me. This guy's breath is not steady. I sweated for him when he sang high notes. I broke down several times. If Xiao Wen hadn't been there to help him cover it up with harmonies, he would have been embarrassed today!"
Everyone laughed, and He Panshan continued to ridicule He Tianran: "You, from now on, you can play your piano well, and you can leave the singing part to Xiao Wen honestly, okay?"
This kind of deliberate suppression by elders in front of outsiders made He Tianran feel a little suffocated, and then Wen Liang spoke for him:
"You're right, Uncle He! Didn't you see that when Tian Tian sang "Mountains and Seas" later, he led all the people in the scene to sing together, and I became a supporting role!"
This overt and covert rhetoric did not refute He Panshan's education to his son, nor did He Tianran continue to be embarrassed. It was really satisfying to hear.
Everyone laughed again when they heard this, and Alan Lu sighed:
"Brother He, what can you say? Naturally, he has been working by my side for a year. I didn't even know he was your son at the time. I just thought he had good skills, was down-to-earth and smart, and was a good guy.
Later I found out that he was your son. You called me privately and asked me not to say anything or tell him that I knew you. So I watched with my own eyes as this kid worked part-time and studied here every week to earn living expenses. The money was still I gave it to him personally. At that time, I thought to myself, this guy will definitely have a future.
Now, they formed their own band and wrote their own songs. You saw what happened today. Anyway, now they are working for me, but I think that soon, I will have to invite them to my place. Sing live. "
A group of people agreed one after another. They all had a high evaluation in their hearts about the level of the two songs of INTERESTING today. Due to He Panshan's identity, if they continued to praise them, it would seem a bit flattering, but it cannot be denied. , He Tianran’s band, after this battle, is really on the verge of becoming famous!
"Let's see, they have their own destiny... Come on, everyone, when you drink, report to me how you have been these past years."
He Panshan smiled freely and did not focus on his son's band. He raised his glass and naturally chatted with the acquaintances here who had played music together many years ago.
During this period, several veterans talked about the glorious moments when they played rock and roll together. This was also the first time for He Tianran to hear He Panshan's past in his youth so clearly...
"Actually, for this performance, I wanted to ask Uncle He to come on stage with us and play two pianos or something. I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but he was afraid of affecting you, so he said he didn't have time, but he will definitely come today!"
Wen Liang obediently took a sip of juice and whispered to He Tianran.
"Maybe he really doesn't have time. You don't need to make up nice things for him."
He Tianran replied calmly.
Wen Liang glared at him. She originally wanted to give the father and son a chance to ease their relationship, but she didn't expect that her boyfriend's attitude towards this was as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit!
Little does the girl know that the relationship between father and son is completely different from that of father and daughter. Just think about two men sitting down and chatting heartily for an entire night. One of them says that I am wrong, and the other says that I am also wrong. The situation, let alone a father and son, couldn't this be awkward?
As a girl, Wen Liang can play around at home and let Wen Ruian pamper her and pamper her. There is nothing wrong with this.
But He Tianran couldn't do it. Since he was sixteen years old, the father and son would usually find it so annoying to communicate with each other, let alone talk about "dad's love" after they had spoken more than ten sentences.
If this was between brothers, they might be able to open their hearts and say "the words are all in the wine", then get drunk with each other, and hook up the next day, and nothing will happen.
But if it were the father and son, what if He Tianran picked up the wine glass and said to He Panshan: "Dad, I'm so happy that you came to see my performance. I'll do whatever you want first!"
I'm afraid, He Panshan will only think that he gave birth to a fool...
So, was the surprise Wen Liang prepared for He Tianran in vain?
No, in fact, now the two fathers and sons can sit together. Although there is little communication, one is telling stories about the past while the other is listening quietly. This is already a big improvement for them.
Wen Liang put on gloves and carefully peeled a plate of crayfish and pushed it in front of He Tianran. The boy was so kind-hearted and was about to feast on it. His girlfriend stopped him immediately and mouthed fiercely:
"Is it for you?"
"..."
He Tianran had no choice but to reluctantly push the plate in front of He Panshan.
The old man who was reminiscing about the past was stunned. He looked at his son with a dead look on his face, and then at his little girlfriend beside him. An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he picked up a piece of shrimp and put it in his mouth, and then He continued chatting with his old friends as usual.
However, he quietly pushed the plate of shrimp towards He Tianran.
Wen Liang smiled and stretched out his hand, passed in front of He Tianran, picked up two pieces of shrimp, put one in his mouth and smashed it, and then waved the other piece in his hand in front of the boy's eyes as if to show off.
"Want to eat? Open your mouth if you want!"
He Tianran was really amused, and he said: "I can peel it off myself..."
Before he could finish his words, the shrimp meat was stuffed into his mouth by Wen Liang.
"Hahaha……"
Wen Liang smiled widely, and He Tianran chewed it twice. Although he still looked disappointed, the taste of this spicy crayfish was indeed more delicious than usual.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, everyone at the dinner table was a bit tipsy.
Alan Lu had already begun to scold Boss Park for his otaku behavior in the past few years, and began to introduce life-long events to his old friend. He said that his wife also had a distant cousin who came to Hong Kong to play in the past few days, and the two of them could do whatever they wanted. look.
"natural."
Seeing Boss Park's uncomfortable look, He Tianran smiled from ear to ear, and at this moment, he heard He Panshan next to him call him.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
He Panshan finally took a break from changing glasses and lit a cigarette.
"In a few days, you find a time, and I will contact my friend who used to do music together. He has now opened a music company. The three of you will go to his studio to record the songs, and then if there is anything that needs to be modified in the songs, Ah, he has someone in charge there, so you don’t have to worry about distribution, copyright, etc. I can just talk to him here.”
He Tianran paused and still didn't come to his senses. Now that the Internet is developed, it is actually very easy for a musician to come up with a song. At worst, after recording, he can just throw the sound source to major music platforms.
It's just okay if it doesn't become popular. If it does, the various problems that will arise later won't be that simple.
He Panshan simply said that there is no need to worry about distribution and copyright. However, the veterans who are playing music here all know that just one word from him has saved the three young people present how much trouble and unnecessary mistakes they have made. ah!
There is a very common phenomenon in our country, that is, a song is obviously very popular on the Internet and has been played over 100 million times, but the musician cannot get a penny. There is a serious imbalance between popularity and economic benefits, and they can only rely on the song. The accumulated popularity is used to make money through acupoints, but the secrets behind it are simply not something that a few young people can solve or understand.
"Did you hear it, Xiao Wen, Xiao Wei?"
Seeing that He Tianran didn't speak, He Panshan bypassed him and asked the other two people directly.
"Okay, uncle!"
When Wei Xing heard that there was such an opportunity, he naturally didn't think that He Tianran would refuse anything. This was his father's kindness. From the perspective of outsiders, agreeing to it was normal.
And Wen Liang knew that He Tianran never liked his father helping him make decisions without permission, so she kept waiting for her boyfriend to speak...
He Tianran had mixed feelings in his heart. After fighting with his father for so many years, what exactly did he want to prove...
Prove that you are good? How can I live well without him?
However, all the efforts he has made, whether in the past life or this life, in He Panshan's view, are just trivial matters that can be solved with one sentence...
"Uncle He, of course he is our captain. It's useless for you to ask us. If he doesn't agree, we can only remain silent~"
At this time Wen Liang spoke lively.
Everyone present thought that the little girl was saying something witty to their father-in-law, but only He Tianran and He Panshan understood what she was expressing.
He Panshan hesitated for a moment. After the last family dinner, he went back and reflected on a lot of things. He found that the way he spoke and acted sometimes did not take into account the feelings of his family.
He knew very well what his son wanted to prove to himself over the years.
The son wants the dignity of living freely, but He Panshan must maintain his authority as a father.
This contradiction actually exists in every household, big or small, but the divorce between He Panshan and Bai Wenyu really hit He Tianran too hard, and the personalities of both of them are like this. If things go on like this, He Tianran will Growing up in such a sensitive atmosphere, I learned everything from others, which made it difficult for me to compromise my character.
Why was He Yuanchong able to live peacefully beside He Panshan, like a fish in water?
It's not that he is so good, smart, or obedient, but that there is a Tao Wei gap between him and He Panshan.
And this He Tianran's stepmother knew how to deal with it and deal with He Panshan, which was something Bai Wenyu didn't want to do.
Therefore, the conflict between the father and son is not irreconcilable, but the reason for the current deadlock, to use a very vivid metaphor, is that there is a lack of a "translator" between them!
If someone could express the intention between them in words that are acceptable to each other, there would not be this rigid situation where you are told to turn east or west, or you are told to beat the dog but chase the chicken...
Fortunately, the appearance of Wen Liang perfectly filled this gap!
"Then... naturally, as the captain, you have to be responsible for your teammates. Can you do that?"
He Panshan followed Wen Liang's wishes and finally said these words.
He Tianran suddenly panicked. He rubbed his thighs with both hands and looked around. At this time, Wen Liang reluctantly pushed a wine glass. The boy picked it up immediately. He hadn't thought about the words yet, so he blurted out: :
"What about dad... cough, okay, okay, if you treat me well, I will definitely accept it... I, I, I, I respect you..."
A group of people laughed heartily at He Tianran's funny behavior. He Panshan looked away, not wanting to admit that this fool was his son. He held his forehead with one hand, picked up the wine glass with the other, raised it and bumped it with him, and said Said:
"Hey, brat..."
