Monday nite @ Muchuan ( talk abt selfisness)
Yah, went down to that place again, wth Sips (who else?) to pass the 4 singers their photos.
Ximei came but didn't sang onstage, cos she's still having a bad sore throat. Was surprise how serious she is offstage. Well, before the performance start, she was at our table (Sips was away, dunno why).Was showing her my secret project and then started to talk about Arts. She was rather open, telling me abt that she is actually older than Jianhua, her 9-5 job ( no relations to her interest) and then she was involved in some script writing and now with Muchuan during her free time. Somehow went into the topic of abstract art. Was telling her how I dunno how to appreciate my ex-colleague's painting, and she suddenly seem interested to know what type of abstract art it is.
Coversation then was about she prefers abstract art pieces like Piccaso's,to those which are just a display of colours as for the former, you can still be able to see something, like the face. But for the latter, the artwork is just a display of the artist's emotions. Which she personally think that it is quite selfish for the artist. And not many would be able to relate to it, unless they had experienced the same feelings as the artist.
Agree with her on this point too, and which is why i think 他们的作品不容易卖出。
Was thinking abt this phrase that Ximei mentioned quite a few times :艺术家是自私的. She used to argue abt this, then later realised some truth in it. Especially after she had written a "controversial" script, where she conveyed her feelings regarding some type of she people she strongly believe that they exist.
Well,I thought abt the stories I had written in Huixun years ago. Sort of had a "saga" over one story, one that I strongly insist on havig a sad ending, despite another member continued the story with a happy ending. Why i insist on having a sad ending, cos I strongly beleive that 不是每个爱情像童话,不可能每个故事的结局是“两人永远快乐”。当时,我也是自私的,坚决要故事里的女主角痛苦地活着,毕竟那时我的作品,结局该由我来主宰。
Haha, what I am babbling now. Ok get back to what happened. Hmm regarding the performance. Well, it was rather ok. A bit disgusting at one point when they talked abt how Ah Du played with shit when he was young. Somehow, I really think that somethhing is missing without Ximei around. Perhaps lacked the cute cute comments from Ximei. Haha. Yah, the Monday dang seems to be a perfect one with four of them. They need Ah du to play keyboard, and he "specialised" in English songs and those smoothing , melodious songs.He is the most expressive (in singing) out of the four. Meilian is one with a 感性 voice, she can sings Tanya and Sun Yanzi's songs quite well. Ximei is the cute lively one , who tackles mostly Chinese classics songs like 喜欢你,我愿意 and 水的话. Jianhua is the guitarist, whose voice is different from Ah Du, he is more "specialised" in "manly" songs and xinyaos.
Had a gastric attack halfway through their performance. Dunno why it happened, even though I had dinner with Sips just before their performance. And I really 吃错药, thought I had the Veragel tablets with me, end up eating Trachisan (for sore throat). Was sucking on one for a few moments, then realised my mistake and immediately spit it out. Duh! Cos both tablets are white. So I don't have any gastric pills with me at all. Luckily, the small convenience store outside Muchuan was still open and Sips helped to get me a packed of milk.
Well, stayed back quite late, Sips stayed even later. should let her to explain in her blog. Guess she must be in her "童话" now. :P
