Golden Years - C80
I looked for an opportunity to ask: Who is this beauty? Bright, your girlfriend?
Wen Yiliang said, Oh, I forgot to introduce him, this is a friend that I just made, Zhenzhen. She just arrived in Beijing, he’s a singer…
At that time, when I heard it, I asked tentatively: Zhenzhen, are you the singer who’s going to try singing tonight?
Zhenzhen nodded her head bashfully. That’s right, she sounded like a Southerner too. But she was not short. From the looks of it, it should be around 166-167. Even though he was wearing nail jeans, he could still see that his figure was pretty good.
I asked you if you had a guitar?
She nodded and said, Well, no, I brought a CD. Right, you can play the accompaniment here …
Through the short conversation, I felt that Zhenzhen wasn’t really good at chatting, which meant that she didn’t seem to be good at interacting with others. Furthermore, she wasn’t polite at all.
Afterwards, I thought about it, it was probably because she had just arrived in Beijing and met a local friend like Wen Yiliang. She felt that someone had brought her the wine, so she felt that she had some dignity and pride in herself.
However, since it’s a friend that Wen Yiliang brought over, I should still give him some convenience.
I said that I was working right here. If you’re ready, I’ll say hello to the manager and you can go up and sing.
Zhenzhen nodded with all her might, then took out the disc from her bag and gave it to me. Then she added, ‘The best I’ve prepared are the ninth and eleventh. Remember to put them on for me.’
I smiled but didn’t reply. Then I took the disc to the other side of the stage.
After letting her say hello to the stage, I returned back to the stage and said to Shuai Shuai: “Is this the female singer you were talking about?” He’s not bad looking, but he doesn’t understand much and can’t speak. He probably won’t be able to stay here any longer …
Shuai Shuai said, what’s wrong with that, how about listening to the singing later?
The self-entertainment performance party has actually already begun, the middle introduced, said that tonight there is a beautiful female singer, will be performing in our xx wine stage for the first time.
After that, I hurriedly called for Zhenzhen to come up on stage.
When Zhenzhen got on the stage, her footsteps were already ‘messy’. Although she didn’t say anything, it was obvious that this was her first time singing while drinking wine. She was extremely nervous.
After Zhenzhen ascended the stage, I sat at Wen Yiliang’s and Z. ‘s place, laughing and saying: “Sure, bright!” You were fooled by another literary girl again …
At this time, Wen Yiliang’s face was filled with bitterness. “Hao Zi, don’t talk nonsense with me!” This girl! I really regret adding a friend on QQ. I said I was in Beijing, and she insisted on coming to see me in Beijing, and asked me to take her to find some wine that could sing. Call me every day if you don’t want to, and come to my company to look for me! The heck, even I am afraid of her now. I just want to quickly find a place for her to sing and leave it be … Too annoying…
I’m a little curious: If you want to sing, why don’t you just introduce this girl to a drink? Was it that difficult?
Wen Yiliang’s five senses were twisted together, say that you want to hear it for yourself …
At this moment, something happened on the stage.
Maybe the disc got stuck and no music came out. Zhenzhen was already seated on the chair, and had adjusted her expression to the best of her ability, but she just did not accompany him, which could be said to be extremely awkward.
However, the guests were quite interested and all had the look of watching a good show.
Zhenzhen froze for almost half a minute and was finally worried. She said that she would help me change the song to the eleventh song, and I will sing “Black Humor” first …
At that time, Zhenzhen’s words were extremely hard, but the face of the employee on the stage was filled with impatience. But it was still changed, and the accompaniment finally made its sound.
Jay Chou? At that time, many people in the audience could not help but mutter.
How should he put it, it wasn’t the meaning of ‘Black Zhou Dong’… It was true that Jay Chou’s songs didn’t seem particularly popular in the wine. After all, they were all songs from rotten streets and no one wanted to hear them while they were drinking. On the contrary, it was the kind that was less heard and more popular.
Moreover, for some reason, the sound of this accompaniment was extremely rough, and the quality of the sound was extremely poor. Even the song, which she claimed to be the most proficient in, didn’t have a rhythm to it in the beginning.
In short, the overall stage effect of “Black Humor” was quite humorous.
I felt a little embarrassed when I heard it from the audience. If it really was the singer in the shop, then it would be ruined!
Fortunately, the guests knew that this performance came from a rookie, and the singing girl was rather pretty, so they all gave him a round of tolerant applause. Another stood up and shouted, “Sing one more and you won’t be nervous anymore.”
Zhenzhen was a little stunned on the stage. She said that I was singing a slow song, and it was even Zhou Jielun’s “Coral Sea”.
The effect of this song is really better than the previous ones, this time I can hear it, Zhenzhen’s voice is not bad, but the experience on stage, is truly zero.
For singers who wanted to get back at them, drinking wine usually gave them a chance to sing two songs. This isn’t harsh. To put it bluntly, two songs can’t prove that I’m a singer. What’s the use of asking you?
Just like that, Zhenzhen brought down the disc. Then, looking puzzled, he asked us, How do you think I did?
We all said that the performance of the accompaniment was not bad.
A regretful expression appeared on Zhenzhen’s face. He said that I recorded this in ktv using mp3, and when he was wearing his headphones to listen, he felt that the effect was pretty good …
The heck, when I heard this, I really kneeled down. This is a godly era, don’t you know that many websites can download high-quality accompaniment already? Zhenzhen, did you come here from an ancient era?
Maybe Zhenzhen really didn’t know how to chat, and still told us this at this time: I wonder if the boss here can keep me here, I think this place is really good … I don’t know how much I can get for singing once…
I wanted to say to her: Girl, you’re thinking too much! Really.
There were also a few people who went onstage to perform, most of them just to amuse themselves, and some of them were singing karaoke. One of them, a very handsome young man with a very pretty girl, went on stage and said he was going to sing a song of his own.
Seeing how handsome this young man was, the audience was filled with anticipation.
In the end, his so-called originality was a bit shabby. Furthermore, he didn’t play well nor did he sing well. The chorus was quite dry, and the bass melody didn’t seem to be connected …
Hmm, it was a contrast effect. Because when this little handsome dude finished singing, it was me who went up on stage.
I have five songs on my list tonight, less than I did on the weekend.
First, I sang two of the old wolves’ songs, one of my best, “The Tiger’s Stopper,” and the other, “Unavoidable.” The effect was immediately activated, and many of the guests below the stage also began to listen to the song with rapt attention.
Then I recited an old song, “Dontbreak myheart,” by the Black Panthers, which was not the band’s accompaniment, but the atmosphere on the scene was very warm.
I made a sneer in the middle and sang a song called “In the Rain” by Wang Feng. All in all, these few years, Teacher Wang Feng’s songs were really too popular. He was indeed the most unbeatable singer in all of China! As long as he sang Wang Feng’s song, it would definitely be full of colors!
The last song, probably not heard by many people, was one of Zhang Xinzhe’s old songs, “Only You and Me on the Way of Love”. Before singing, I also stirred up a bit and said something about youth, love, and other stuff.
In conclusion, my singing effect was very good, and it also stirred up the atmosphere. In the end, the boss went up onto the stage. Self-playing, self-singing, and endless applause throughout the evening, the party was a success.
After that, Wen Yiliang and I chatted for a while before we sent them away. Before he left, he gave me a meaningful look, and said: “Hao Zi, about Zhenzhen, you must help me keep an eye on him … …”
I smiled and said that it was no problem, Zhenzhen, wait for the call, I’ll inform you when there’s some news.
Inwardly, he only had one thought in his heart: “Hehe.”
He originally thought that this matter would just end like this. But on the second day, I received a call from Zhenzhen, which meant that he was asking for the results.
I was both angry and amused. I thought to myself, This girl really has a bad IQ. Had Wen Yiliang not hinted for him to understand?
The heck, this is the rhythm of letting me become an evil person! No crap, you’re just an asshole! But thinking about it, it doesn’t matter, since Zhenzhen and I are not that close, we can just treat it as helping Wen Yiliang.
Thus, I said it in a more serious manner and said it was bad enough. Of course I didn’t say that Zhenzhen’s singing wasn’t good, I found an excuse and said that I don’t really want girls for my current drinking, and even if I did, I wanted to find someone who could play the piano or sing on a guitar.
By saying so, it was equivalent to sealing off her path.
The phone hung up, but it didn’t take her long to call back.
I’ll be damned, this girl is getting bolder and bolder!
He wanted to reject her, but who would have thought that Zhenzhen would ask for his help on the phone. Says I can sing a lot of songs of men and women, and then let me take her, find a chance to take her onstage again, and sing with me. As for the money, no matter how much was given, she would accept it even if she didn’t.
To put it bluntly, it was to seize the opportunity! After all, I could tell that Zhenzhen wasn’t completely stupid, and would somewhat understand her own weight at that time. Furthermore, she was willing to suffer.
This was bullshit. No friends, no relatives, and no family would dare to wander around the capital just for the sake of singing. Those who could not take the hardships would not even last a day.
So I was moved and said to try it out, what song would you sing, tell me, let’s practice when we have a chance. My original intention was to ask her to go to the bar early one day and sing along.
Unexpectedly, Zhenzhen directly asked: Where do you live? I’m going to practice at your place.
I thought about it and told her how to take the subway and take the bus to my place.
That night, Shuai Shuai had to go to work. I was alone in the house. When it was almost three in the afternoon, Zhenzhen arrived. He was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Only now I can see a little more clearly, her clothes look a little old, his boots are also short, there are a lot of friction marks.
However, her overall appearance was not that bad. It was a bit of a retro literary style.
After taking off the scarf, Zhenzhen started to size up the place Shuai Shuai and I were staying at.
I took out the audio system, connected it to Mp3, and played a few chorus songs. There were “Coral Sea” “You Most Precious” “I couldn’t help it”…
