Chapter 291 Killing the Rock Middle-Aged Man

Early morning.

The night wind was blowing, and it was chilly.

The garbage dump next to the rental house was emitting a foul smell.

Deng Rong vomited next to the garbage dump. He drank a lot of wine today, completely ignoring the fact that he had just recovered from a gastric perforation...

However, this time he drank not for a living, singing and drinking in a bar, nor because he was depressed and used alcohol to relieve his sorrow.

On the contrary, he was particularly happy today.

In just two days, he performed at this concert with 2,000 people. Not only did he perform at a concert with 2,000 people, he also officially signed an entertainment company!

From then on, he was no longer a helpless wandering singer. From then on, he had his own entertainment company and no longer had to drink one glass after another and look at people's faces.

After vomiting, his stomach was burning, but there was no bleeding.

He looked at the garbage dump!

"Fuck you, from now on, fuck you, I'm going to leave your garbage dump!"

He cursed!

After his cursing, the neighbors turned on the lights one after another, and a basin of water was poured on his face from above, calling him a psychopath.

He touched the wet clothes, shook his head indifferently, and simply stripped off all his clothes, threw them into the trash can, and then walked towards his rental house.

He lay on the bed and slept for a long time.

He slept until the next morning.

He looked at the garbage and wine bottles, napkins, lunch boxes on the ground in the rental house. The messy room seemed like a second garbage dump.

He had been lying in such a small and dim garbage dump for so many years, and sometimes he even felt like a walking corpse.

"I will never drink again!"

"Quit drinking!"

He looked at it for a while, then said this, and then he began to pick up the broom and clean the room seriously, which was unusual.

"Deng Rong, someone reported that your room is very smelly. Deng Rong, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you don't pay attention to hygiene like this, then I..."

When he was carrying the garbage out, he saw the landlord coming over aggressively.

"I'm sorry, landlord!"

It seemed like the first time the landlord saw him apologize with an embarrassed smile. Then, the landlord subconsciously looked into the house and turned to look at his hands.

He was holding bags of garbage in his hands. After apologizing, he lowered his head and threw the garbage into the trash can.

His uncharacteristic behavior made the landlord swallow the curse he wanted to say instantly. After a while, the landlord watched him return to the rental house and continue to clean up seriously.

"Are you moving out?"

"Probably moving out."

Deng Rong was busy all morning.

The landlord watched him clean the messy room and tidy up his messy hair.

His eyes seemed to be shining, and this light surprised the landlord.

"Are you going back to your hometown?"

The landlord was also a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw Deng Rong packing his luggage, the landlord looked at him.

The landlord suddenly remembered the scene when he first came to Yanjing more than ten years ago.

At that time, Deng Rong was full of vigor and vitality, carrying a guitar on his back, telling him that he would make a name for himself in Yanjing and in the rock music scene of China.

Over the years, he did not give up, and insisted on singing on the overpass every day. I have heard that he ran entertainment companies and wrote some songs, but in the end, perhaps because of limited talent or some other reason, he finally failed to make a name for himself. Later, the young man became a middle-aged man with a big belly, and the light in his eyes began to gradually disappear and became turbid. Many neighbors next to him began to complain about his unhygienic behavior and the stench in his room...

However, there is one good thing, he has never defaulted on rent, as long as he has money, he will pay it immediately!

"No! I signed an entertainment company!"

In the sun.

The landlord looked at Deng Rong, who suddenly smiled, carrying a guitar on his back, and looked at him seriously.

"Success?"

"I don't know if it succeeded, but it is finally an explanation..."

After Deng Rong finished speaking, he walked down the stairs and walked down step by step.

Just before leaving, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the rental house again, as if he was reluctant to leave for a short time, and then turned around resolutely.

At this moment, several reporters suddenly appeared in the distance. They caught up with him to the surprise of the landlord and even Deng Rong himself.

………………………………

"Maybe, this is the ordinary people in the great era!"

"It is not so easy for ordinary people to pursue their dreams?"

"I don't understand. Why should I persist in my forties? Rock and roll, what a distant term!"

"Yes, although I was very moved by this article, I felt uncomfortable. I have persisted for more than ten years without any achievement. Shouldn't I give up?"

"Stop the loss in time!"

"Ah K, it is really a small number of people..."

"..."

At noon the next day after the [Little People Concert] ended.

The post "Middle-aged Rockers" was reposted by [Nangong Nan] and suddenly became popular after being reposted.

Along with the inspiring melody of "Running", every word written in the article "Middle-aged Rocker" is full of lament and sigh...

Deng Rong, a middle-aged man who spent more than ten years chasing his dreams in the great era but achieved nothing, was finally known by many netizens.

Many people have seen their own stories in this article "Middle-Aged People Who Rock and Roll"...

There are those who admire me. I admire that a person can persevere for such a long time and persevere until he goes crazy.

There are also negative ones. To deny that a person still insists on knowing that he cannot succeed is not praiseworthy, but stupid!

The controversy is getting louder and louder, surrounding "Dream" and "Running" surrounding another article "The Story of Ah K"...

Some people can feel solace in "The Story of Ah K", while some people feel inspired by this story. Of course, some people feel that Ah K's success really has a lot of chance. More people are Like Deng Rong, he was completely defeated and finally sunk, even going crazy.

but!

Only a small group of people know that when Deng Rong’s story of depression and ambition is heard and seen by others, then...

He is not far from success!

this era!

I’m not afraid of your bad reputation, I’m not afraid of being hacked, and I’m not afraid of all the scolding on Weibo…

Obscurity is the scariest thing.

In the office.

Xu Shengnan looked at "Broken". When the popularity of this old song began to rise, she narrowed her eyes.

At this moment, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open in the office.

Then, Zhang Mo walked in with a menacing look on his face.

"Sister Shengnan, why don't you give resources to "Ecstasy"? Why?"

"It's meaningless to give "Ecstasy" more promotional resources. Its exposure is already enough, but, Mozi, I hope you can understand that good marketing must be matched with better works..."

"Sister Shengnan, I want to know why, why we have a good team, good resources, and my singing is not bad, but why do we lose, why can't we compare to others' "Running"?"

Mozi took a deep breath, but he still couldn't suppress his excitement.

From his debut to the present, he has been managed step by step, and then he has achieved success step by step!

But this time, he actually suffered a disaster!

This made him, who had always been successful, really unable to accept it.

"Who would have thought that Ah K could write phenomenal works? Perhaps, the songs created by our team can only be popular music, but they are not phenomenal works in pop music... They lose to phenomenal works. , no shame, "In the Rain" and "Midsummer" have already shown that Ah K is an amazing creator, and a true genius cannot be suppressed..."

Xu Shengnan looked out the window in silence for a long time, and finally shook his head.

……………………

Taiwan Island.

Inside the villa.

"Old Cui... have you read the recent news?"

"What news?"

"News about a concert."

"[Magic City Century Superstar Concert]?"

"No, it's the [Little People Concert]. This concert made your "Broken Penny" become a small hit again!"

"oh?"

"..."

Cui Yonghao hung up the call from his friend.

After hanging up the phone, he opened Weibo and silently looked at a series of news on Weibo.

There is a lot of news about [Modu Century Superstar Concert], but surprisingly, this music event has no topical points. It is very popular, but it is not the first.

The number one spot is [Little People Concert], and at the same time, there is also a post called [Middle-aged Rock and Roll Man] that has made it to the top ten hot searches...

He followed the link, clicked on a website called [Jitu Video], and saw the concert.

They were a group of young people, full of excitement and desire for their dreams, chasing after them regardless of their own safety...

The atmosphere at the scene was very exciting, reminding him of the concert held by this group of old rockers in Taiwan many years ago...

He also heard Deng Rong singing his song "Penniless" when he came on stage, and he suddenly felt emotional.

In the eyes of professionals, Deng Rong's singing is not very good, but the emotion in his voice is very much like his former self.

He then watched [Deng Rong’s Story] again.

After reading this...

He stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Then, with his head lowered, he walked step by step towards the study, looked at the music room next to him, and saw the guitars and pianos.

Fifteen years ago!

He had an operation on his throat, and then his throat broke.

After it broke, he never appeared on stage again.

For a singer, a bad voice is almost fatal!

Later, he gradually fell silent.

Then, he also watched as China's rock music began to fall into a deathly silence after experiencing a short period of glory. He knew that this was the inevitability of the times, but as a leader of that era, who could accept this kind of decline? Woolen cloth?

He sat in the study and opened the drawer.

The drawer is full of songs...

He took out one of the songs called "Kill That Rock Middle Age"...

After a while...

He took out his cell phone.

"Help me contact the company behind Deng Rong, I want to meet with them!"
