The endless drizzle seems to be the only theme at the turn of spring and summer. The small square in front of the bar is crowded with people. Various umbrellas and voices interweave into a noisy scene. Cars slowly pass by with their whistles honking.
More than a dozen burly men in security uniforms maintained order at the entrance of the bar.
The Blue Bird Bar, which is open to everyone on weekdays, becomes a consumption place that only tickets can enter on Saturday night. This is a rule that started two months ago, because at this time of the week, concept bands will
One or two songs will be performed here.
They have not released an album, and have not appeared on any TV shows. The band's performances are not even professional. Sometimes, a member will forget the lyrics and start over again. Moreover, every time he comes here, he will
It only lasted for ten or twenty minutes. After that, no matter how much people protested, it never appeared again. The reason why it attracted people's attention was because this song every week was so amazing, with its varied music style and perfect lyrics and composition.
, it is almost certain that as long as it is sung by a certain singer, it will become extremely popular thereafter. With the release of "Dongfeng Po" and "Jiangnan" by two singers in March, the author's signature also exactly confirms the concept band
That incredibly powerful strength.
Of course, it can also be said that it was a one-time burst of power accumulated over decades in the music industry.
A month after the band performed, a privately recorded audio tape began to circulate in Jianghai City. Since then, at least in Jianghai City, the concept band has gradually gained a group of fanatical fans. Although the scale of hundreds and thousands of people is different from
Those big stars were completely out of proportion. However, when they gathered every Saturday, the size was not something that a small bar like Blue Bird could accommodate. In the end, this bar with a background of the Sand Embroidery Gang could only send out manpower every week to maintain it.
order, and limits the number of people who can enter at a time. But even so, many people who have no ticket purchase channels will still gather outside the bar, waiting for the concept band's performance to finish, and then go home to record the noisy tapes
I listened to it for over a week.
Stepping out of the car door, Fang Yusi lowered the brim of her hat subconsciously, and walked into the small square where the crowd was holding umbrellas and chatting. Four bodyguards escorted her, and her manager, Sister Lan, softly explained what happened after entering.
"...The few people guarding the passage over there have been bribed. After the concept singing is completed, you can follow in from the side. No matter who the other party is, don't be angry, just talk it over... Of course, I know you have a sense of propriety. Anyway, as long as you don't
If there is a quarrel, it should be fine if we sit down together and talk it over, and the other party will not be too unreasonable. After all, you have only been in Jianghai for a short time, so there won't be any unspoken differences."
"Um."
"Anyway... this matter is nothing special. Liu Bei even visited the thatched cottage. If you like his songs, you are already appreciating him enough... I have never seen such a song writer..."
Although she said such words, Sister Nalan obviously has more dissatisfaction with the concept band. She is just a song writer. If you pay me here, you will get married if you write songs. After so many years of working in the industry, she has never seen her.
But he wouldn't even accept it if a singer came to visit him like this. But he didn't want any money, and the song he wrote had the potential to become popular, but he wasn't from Hong Kong. In addition, the company really valued the composer.
There is nothing we can do now...
"I understand, Sister Lan." Sensing the thoughts of the woman next to her, Fang Yusi smiled and said, "Sister Lan, you are nagging more than before. Could it be that you are in love?"
"go……"
The two of them chatted and laughed in a low voice. When they squeezed to the door, they noticed that someone seemed to be arguing about something at the door in front of them. After taking a closer look, they realized that they were three foreigners. The man was Joseph from last night. Beside him, he stood out.
It was the blond woman who bought the diamond necklace for a high price of 50 million last night. The little mixed-race girl with black hair stood next to her mother, looking unhappy. The situation was obvious. They didn't get the tickets in advance, but they wanted to go in and watch the show.
, I guess they also came here because of their reputation.
"I'm sorry, madam, we really don't know who you are talking about. We have regulations here. If you want to go in tonight, you must book a ticket in advance... Please don't make it difficult for us."
Although I heard that she has a gangster background, it is obvious that the people sent here have received professional training. The woman in front of her seems to be rich or noble, and the security guard at the door is just trying to persuade her. Joseph, who is following the blond woman,
He was frowning deeply at the time. Compared to the several security guards, he was exuding an almost overwhelming momentum. His eyes swept over the security guards, and he seemed to be looking for a target.
At that moment, an unknown feeling arose in Fang Yusi's heart. On the one hand, she felt faintly happy that these three people were defeated. So what if you have money? So what if you have a fifty million necklace? You still can't get it.
On the other hand, she was even thinking about whether she should come forward and find a way to get them to follow her in and build a relationship with them.
"But...he said he asked us to come here, Lan...niao...yes, it's here..." The blond woman smoothed her hair with her hands in annoyance, then took a few steps back, and then took out a card.
After checking the name of the bar, although his expression was troubled, he looked very attractive. Joseph on the side said in a deep voice: "Since we don't usually use tickets, why do we suddenly need them today? Sir, please ask your manager to come out and talk to you."
I'll talk."
"Uh, I think..." Seeing Joseph approaching, the security guard subconsciously took a step back, and then looked at the hand in Marilyn's hand.
He said, “Madam, can you show me the card you gave me?
"Ah? Well, of course." With a slightly stunned expression, Marilyn handed the card over and said by the way, "He gave it to me, otherwise I wouldn't have found the place."
"That's no problem." After checking the card, the security guard handed it back to Marilyn with a smile, "Since you have this card, you can enter at any time, and you can enter backstage at will."
"Uh, really..." Marilyn put the card back into her small handbag, looked at Joseph, and then pulled her daughter through the door. Fang Yusi sighed in her heart, a billionaire is a billionaire, you can take it anywhere like this.
All those who came out were VIP cards... Although it was not a high-end place and she could feel the differential treatment, she still felt a little frustrated. If she had that card, she wouldn't have to bribe those people to sneak in.
Fang Yusi had actually been to the Blue Bird Bar once last Saturday. It was just a simple late-night carnival spot with a decent bar, a decent dance floor, a decent performance stage, and a decent waiter. After entering the lobby, Fang Yusi
With Sister Lan, she squeezed directly towards the passage leading to the backstage so that she could react in time. However, just halfway through, Fang Yusi said a few words to her companions and turned to the side.
At a seat not far away, after receiving the red wine from the waiter, Joseph frowned and talked to Marilyn next to him: "That boy...is he really singing here?"
"Yes. Since he said yes, it must be yes." Looking at the crowds of people around her, Marilyn responded with a smile.
"The scale is amazing." Joseph shook his head and smiled, "Looking at the people outside, I even thought it was an Elvis Presley concert."
"He can always do amazing things." As if her husband or son had achieved such an achievement, Marilyn smiled brightly. At this moment, a female voice rang from the side.
"Well, Mr. Joseph?" There seemed to be some doubts and uncertainty in the sweet voice, and Fang Yusi came from the side. Joseph stood up, still a little confused for a moment, but then recognized: "You are...Miss Fang? Are you now? "
"Sorry, I was drunk yesterday and caused trouble for you. I saw it there just now and I was a little unsure. I didn't expect that Mr. Joseph also likes the songs of the concept band."
"It is a man's honor to serve beautiful women. Please take a seat. By the way, I almost forgot to introduce you. These two are my companions, Ms. Marilyn and Miss Heidi. This is Miss Fang. Marilyn, do you remember her? He was sitting next to me yesterday..."
After Joseph's introduction, the two sides exchanged pleasantries again. The little girl didn't seem to like talking to strangers. She didn't even say hello. She just held her mother aside and whispered. Due to the noise of the crowd, Fang Yusi could only roughly hear what she was saying. Who was complaining yet? Although I couldn’t hear the name clearly, it was obviously not the word Concept. Combined with the fact that the three of them were obviously not familiar with the Concept band, Fang Yusi immediately thought, since they can get that kind of VIP card, could they be related to the Concept band? Do the band members have a good relationship?
Marilyn was talking to the little girl, while Fang Yusi and Joseph were chatting all over the world. The music in the bar was deafening, and the crowd was dancing on the dance floor. Not long after, the time reached eight o'clock, and all the music gradually stopped under the control of the DJ. The crazily dancing crowd also started to sing:|. Just from this action, we can see what kind of status the concept band has in the hearts of these people.
"Okay, everyone, the time is exactly eight o'clock, and the long-awaited program is ready to start. Time is precious, so I won't be verbose. Next, let us warmly welcome - concept!"
In an instant, there was a burst of boiling cheers from the crowd. The first figure walked out from the back of the small stage, and then fell to the ground with a thud. The surrounding speakers made a deafening sharp sound, which made everyone in the ballroom endure. He kept covering his ears.
"Sorry...sorry, there are too many wires, I got stuck..."
What came out of the microphone was a girlish voice that was somewhat neutral. A person from behind untied the wires wrapped around her feet. She stood up holding on to the long pole on which the microphone was placed. Such an oolong caused the crowd to burst into laughter again. There was a burst of laughter. Not long after, the four people had taken their positions on the small stage, each wearing a ridiculously weird mask and an ugly cloak, but they could still easily recognize that this group was named today. Three women and one man came out to meet people.
"Ahem, sound check as usual." He knocked on the microphone, and the man who spoke was the lead singer of the band, wearing a weird banana mask on his face, "Okay, this is a concept band, I am Banana, and the next two are everyone.
The familiar cucumbers and eggplants, and the occasional guest appearance of durian over there. Well, according to the old rules, I want to make some things clear first. The mixing of today’s song is more complicated, so many things are pre-recorded and the effect of singing is
It’s probably not perfect, the background is probably similar to the concept of Mafia, Godfather…”
When he heard the word mafia, Joseph frowned subconsciously, while Marilyn had a look on her face, and then repeated this passage to Heidi.
"Okay, get ready to start. By the way, the name of the song is... In the Name of the Father."
