Yuyintang Kaixuan Road Store.
In the next half month, this place became a popular place for people to check in. Musicians who performed here in the past and later moved on to bigger stages; office workers who always stayed here during their college days but find it difficult to return after working; and those who followed the information on social media, heard about it for the first time, and came here based on the traffic. Various self-media and internet celebrity bloggers came one after another to say their own farewells.
8html On the evening of May 5th, a documentary viewing party to commemorate the "Little White Building" Yuyintang Kaixuan Road store was held in the Yuyintang Music Park, located in the sunken square at the intersection of Dingxi Road and Changning Road.
The small space of Yuyintang Music Park was filled with Yuyintang music fans who came specially to watch the film.
This documentary titled "Landmark That Never Disappears" was spontaneously shot by a group of local Shanghai documentary creators and recorded the closing process of Yuyintang Kaixuan Road Store, a musical landmark in Shanghai. The documentary relives the classic performances held by Yuyintang through the lens. , but also tells the stories of music fans.
The Yuyintang that night changed from the noisy atmosphere on weekdays. Music fans gathered together to commemorate their youth by watching movies. After the
documentary was played, three young bands from Shanghai: Decision Tree, Faded Queen, and Parallel Universe performed a commemorative concert.
concert performance scene. Zhang Haisheng did not appear during the
playback session. Just like any other night, he had an unthemed dinner with his friends. After drinking a little wine, he waited until the night got darker and the music park began to heat up, then he rode a battery car and wandered into livehouse. Standing at the end of the long and narrow space, looking at the young figures close to the stage, their bodies huddled together and their heads swaying to the music.
From 80, to 90, to now 00, they are beautiful, enthusiastic, and simple. They will cheer for the crazy roar of the singer on the stage, and will also be intoxicated in the psychedelic melody.
Time seems to have stood still here. As for the curtain call of Yuyintang, for people who are ups and downs in the sound wave, it is really not a sad thing.
In the last scene, when a truck stopped at the entrance of Yuyintang, loading the last truck of equipment, and the door was about to close, Zhang Haisheng was not present.
No one knows when the farewell between Zhang Haisheng and Yuyintang took place, and it is even difficult to verify whether he ever said a formal farewell to this place. For a middle-aged rock and roll person, saying goodbye to this kind of gesture is somewhat pretentious, and too many things have happened in the past 20 years, so it is better to have a vague impression. If you think about it too concretely, it may be a burden.
15 years ago, Zhang Haisheng stood in front of the mixing console of Yuyintang.
Music Park, Bar, New Song Space - After Yuyintang, now the branches of 3 stores are running steadily. On weekends, people are often in trouble. Most of the time, the audience knows and hears the performance of these new musicians on the stage for the first time, but this does not prevent everyone from sparing no effort to cheer for it after a good song. , this is a unique atmosphere that is difficult to feel in many so-called commercial livehouses. For Zhang Haisheng, as long as the store is there, the people are there, and the belief in providing a starting stage for young musicians is there, Yuyintang has always been there.
The performance ended before 12 o'clock, and everyone moved to the outdoors.The tavern at the entrance of closed last year, and Yuyintang Music Park simply set up a barbecue stall at the entrance.
