The three walked into the fields and finally found the so-called Lin Sen.
He wore a bamboo hat, simple clothes, had bronze skin, and a stubble beard. He looked very ordinary and unremarkable.
Although she is only 36 years old, she looks like she is almost 40.
If you could remember this person at first glance, it would be the color of their right eye, which is a bit off.
The iris isn't brown, but rather has a slight blue tint, like when you wear colored contact lenses.
Therefore, he has a nickname in the music scene: the guitarist with heterochromia.
"Who are you looking for?" Lin Sen's voice was deep, a true bass.
"We're looking for you, Lin Sen, the guitarist with heterochromia!"
Lin Sen looked closely, but apart from one person wearing a hat and mask, he couldn't make out anything.
Even with a hat and dressed in all black, Lu Jiuning remained neither flower nor mist, but a lone figure walking in the spring breeze.
Lu Jiuyuan, standing beside him, also had a face as smooth as a jade plate and a body as sturdy as a tree.
She's clearly not an ordinary person; she looks more like someone from the entertainment industry.
Seeing their appearances, Lin Sen roughly guessed what they were here for, and since it was getting hot, he decided to go back and make some tea.
Pushing open the door, I entered the living room. The furnishings were simple, but there were four or five guitars hanging behind the sofa. They were clearly not ordinary items, and the room was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust.
Lin Sen must take it out and play it whenever he has free time.
After brewing a pot of green tea, Lin Sen leaned back in his chair and asked, "How did you find me?"
He has been back in the countryside for five or six years, and has probably been forgotten by most people. Very few people can find this place now.
Lu Jiuning looked at Lu Jiuyuan; only he could answer this question.
Lu Jiuyuan scratched his head: "Zhixia told me!"
Lin Sen then realized: "It's that girl!"
Lin Zhixia is Lin Sen's cousin, and like Lin Sen, she started working in the music industry after graduating from university.
He is now a well-known DJ, but unfortunately he has failed to make it into the top 20 DJs despite several attempts.
She and Tong Yin are good friends, and Lu Jiuyuan got to know Lin Zhixia through Jiang Zhong and Tong Yin's relationship.
I never expected that Lin Zhixia was actually Lin Sen's cousin. Sometimes I can't help but sigh that the world is a small place.
"So what brings you here?" Lin Sen didn't like beating around the bush and got straight to the point.
Lu Jiuyuan looked at his older sister, Lu Jiuning, who was now needed to step in.
Fortunately, Lu Jiuning wasn't one to beat around the bush: "Hello, I'm the owner of Beehive Bar and also a member of the Masked Band. I'm here to invite you to join the Masked Band."
After listening, Lin Sen simply took a sip of tea, then smiled and refused, saying, "You weren't the only band that came to me, but I turned them all down."
The implication is: I will refuse you as well.
Lu Jiuning has faced rejection like this more than once, and all she wants to say is: I know it!
"Mr. Lin, please don't worry. I know you once had the idea of reuniting the Five Centimeters Band, and even put a lot of effort into it, but you have never succeeded."
Because you'll never find a lead singer as talented as Qingchuan again.
At this point, Lu Jiuning could clearly see the change in Lin Sen's expression, from calm and collected just now to complex and regretful one.
Even after all these years, it remains a thorn in Lin Sen's side.
Lu Jiuning continued, "Since we're inviting you to join the band, we should first introduce our band's lineup."
The drummer, Lu Jiuyuan, who is the one next to you, is also a second or third-tier singer.
Keyboardist, Lin Zhixia!
That's right, your sister chose to join our band after being repeatedly invited by Xiaoyuan.
Lu Jiuning also knew that Lin Zhixia joined the Masked Band not because of the cocktails at Beehive Bar, nor because of how good Bei Chen was at songwriting.
It was because she had an ambiguous relationship with Lu Jiuyuan.
As for how far things had progressed, Lu Jiuning was too lazy to find out.
Anyway, there will be plenty of time to learn about it later.
Lin Sen was somewhat surprised after hearing this. His younger sister had a rather stubborn personality and had rejected invitations from several bands.
The fact that this masked band was able to get Lin Zhixia to join them means they must have some real talent.
"As for the bassist, that's me, and I'm also the lead vocalist."
The final lead singer and composer is this masked gentleman; his real name is Bei Chen!
Bei Chen?
Lin Sen searched his mind for information about Bei Chen, but could not find a matching image.
He asked doubtfully, "There doesn't seem to be such a person in the music industry, does there?"
I remember there was an actor known as "Little Lanling," I think that was his name.
After Lin Sen finished speaking, Bei Chen took off his mask, sunglasses, and hat, revealing a regrettable face: "You're right, that person is me!"
Lin Sen, who had a lot to say, shut his mouth at that moment.
This face says it all; there's no need to ask any more questions.
Seeing this, Lu Jiuning knew it was time to bring out the next trump card: "Only outstanding original works can survive in a band."
These are works that Bei Chen has already created; why not listen to them first?
From "Ugly Monster" to "Rose Boy"... I listened to them all the way through, with Lin Sen occasionally offering a few comments.
After listening to the whole song, Lin Sen looked at Bei Chen a few more times and then praised him, saying, "These are all good songs. It is rare and commendable that an actor who has crossed over into this field can write such works."
This wasn't just a casual remark; in particular, the song "I Once Thought of Ending It All" truly resonated with him.
Even Qingchuan wouldn't dare say he could write a song of this caliber so easily.
Seeing that Lin Sen had softened his stance a little, Lu Jiuning prepared to press her advantage, but Lin Sen's next sentence brought her back to reality: "It's good, but not enough."
What does a band need?
It's rock music!
I don't know if your rock music is up to the standard of the songs we just heard.
Lin Sen's hesitation was not without reason; Bei Chen had indeed not yet produced a single pure rock song, so his work lacked persuasiveness.
Lu Jiuning looked at Bei Chen. This problem could only be solved by him, which was why he had to be brought here today.
Bei Chen did not respond to Lu Jiuning's gaze, but was considering what kind of music he needed to bring out to evoke the musical insect in Lin Sen's heart.
For someone who is obsessed with guitar, it doesn't have to be rock music to attract him.
Classic guitar pieces are also a good choice.
Famous guitar pieces?
Romance of Love, Tears, Moonlight Sonata, Variations on the Magic Flute...
These are all excellent works, but they are too gentle. What Bei Chen wants now is a faster pace and more technical skill.
Here it is, a guitar version of the "Spanish Bullfighter March," this one is quite interesting...
