"On a rainy day, I walked on a deserted street..."
After playing the brief prelude, Lu Chen sang with the accompaniment of the piano: "Look at the flowers, they are blooming and withering..."
All fans who are familiar with Tan Hong believe that "Flying Dove" is one of his most outstanding works. The content of this lyric is not profound and complicated. It tells the story of a young man who longs for freedom and longs for love, the embodiment of ideals.
It is a dove flying in the sky.
This is also a lyrical ballad suitable for young people to play and sing, so it has been loved by countless people. It has been sung for more than ten years and can often be heard in bars in Houhai.
However, it is recognized that this song is difficult to sing and play. If a singer who is not strong enough wants to sing it beautifully and movingly, it is completely self-defeating.
According to Lu Chen's past standards, he chose "Flying Dove" as the opening song, which is simply overestimating his abilities!
However, when he lightly plucked the strings and started singing, the Forgettable Bar quickly became quiet. Several customers who were talking and laughing closed their mouths, and the bartender standing behind the bar stopped shaking the cocktail in his hand.
Pot, even the waiters tiptoed when walking, for fear of disturbing others.
Lu Chen's clear and clean voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the speakers placed in every corner of the bar, making the customers present involuntarily infected and letting their moods rise and fall with the music.
"I stand in front of you..."
"Dream of becoming a dove flying in the blue sky..."
"La la ah ~ flying dove!"
I like it because I am familiar with it, and I am picky about it because I am familiar with it.
Many of the customers who often come to Forgettable Grass have a good appreciation of music or popular music. As long as the singer plays a wrong note or sings out of tune, they can tell it, especially something like "Flying Pigeon"
Familiar classics are a great test for singers.
Lu Chen's playing and singing are almost perfect, and his fingering, breath, voice, and emotion are all in place. If I have to be picky, I can only say that compared to the original singer Tan Hong, he is still a little green.
But is a boy who is not young still a boy?
After 5 minutes, the song ended.
The whole place was silent. After a moment, no one knew who started it, and there was a round of applause.
Good is good, and singing well will naturally lead to sincere applause.
The loud hooligan whistle sounded immediately, which again attracted a lot of laughter and admiration.
"Xiao Lu, you sang so charmingly today. My sister loves you so much. I will give you a dozen Jinwei!"
This is a cordial greeting from a real white-bones/pseudo-female literary young man!
"Thanks..."
Lu Chen smiled and waved to the other party to express his gratitude - he was an old customer who liked to joke.
Customers' love and support for singers are usually expressed in the form of rewards. Male singers give beer, and female singers give flowers. A dozen of Jinwei has 12 pieces, and the price of each piece is 20 yuan, which is equivalent to 240 yuan.
Lu Chen doesn't need to drink the wine, but he can get 50% of it, which is 120 yuan!
The positioning and customer base of the Houhai bar are completely different from those in Sanlitun. Basically, there are no wealthy people who spend a lot of money, rich second-generation people who are jealous of XO, or brain-dead children who fight to pick up girls.
The reward of 12 Jinwei is quite a feat here.
Sister Shan had also given Lu Chen wine in the past, but she only meant two or three at most. Today she gave him a dozen, which undoubtedly showed that the performance he had just finished was loved and appreciated by the other party.
Lu Chen was undoubtedly right to choose "Flying Dove" as the first song to warm up the show.
He hugged the guitar and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
And behind the bar, there was a charming woman who was in a very special mood.
She opened her lips slightly, stared at the bar owner Chen Jianhao with an incredulous look, and said: "Brother Jianhao, if you don't want to be reluctant to let me go, just say so. Is it interesting for me to play like this?"
Chen Jianhao couldn't help but smile: "Su Qingmei, how could I play with you?"
This aunt is not an ordinary person, and her old bones are absolutely impossible to play with.
"How dare you say..."
Su Qingmei gritted her teeth and said: "Xiao Lu's voice is a bit unique, but his level is too amateurish. The padding stage here is the limit, and you have to work behind the scenes to repair the sound. Do you really want it?"
She completely repeated what Chen Jianhao said about Lu Chen before, without even saying a single word wrong!
Chen Jianhao was immediately speechless.
He himself felt very strange. Lu Chen was obviously an amateur, but the singing and playing skills he showed today were completely different from before, as if a miracle had occurred as if he had been reborn!
Just before Lu Chen started singing, Chen Jianhao was very unhappy that Lu Chen chose "Flying Dove" as the opening song.
He believed that the song was too difficult and Lu Chen was simply unable to master it.
As a result, Su Qingmei was now sarcastic and unable to refute, she could only say: "This kid...hey!"
"I must have asked experts for guidance in the past two days, and I just performed beyond my level."
Chen Jianhao came up with an explanation that he thought was reasonable.
"Two days?"
Su Qingmei sneered and said: "You can give such a level of guidance in two days? Which master is so good? I will hire him with an annual salary of one million, and don't tell me that you can't hear it. His voice has not been adjusted by the backstage at all.
!”
Chen Jianhao felt that his face was almost swollen.
He knows music, he is an insider, and he owns the bar. How could he not be able to hear whether the singing of the live singers has been edited?
There must be something wrong with the electronic music room!
This further proves how awesome Lu Chen is—pure original voice!
Facing the aggressive Su Qingmei, Chen Jianhao could only say depressedly and helplessly: "Then go and talk to Xiao Lu yourself. As long as he agrees, I will definitely let him go!"
In fact, Lu Chen and Wangyoucao Bar did not sign a formal contract, so he could leave as he pleased.
Su Qingmei showed a victorious smile and said: "Listen to two more songs, maybe you will really perform beyond your level?"
At this moment, Lu Chen, who was sitting on the stage holding his guitar, had already received 37 bottles of beer as a reward.
The extra income of 370 yuan almost made him feel excited. He finally suppressed his excitement and said into the microphone: "Thank you very much for your friends' support. The following song, um, is very special..."
He stumbled over his words, paused and continued: "It's a song I wrote myself. This is the first time I sang it today. Its name is..."
"You at the same table!"
"My Deskmate" was the first song Lu Chen got in the dream world. He composed the music and lyrics for this song, and then successfully registered the copyright with another song in the "Greater China Music Library".
Therefore, from a legal perspective, "My Deskmate" is an original song to which Lu Chen owns all copyrights.
But it was impossible for Lu Chen to deceive himself and say that such behavior was not plagiarism. However, when he thought of the huge debt that his family had, the burden in his heart was so weak that it disappeared.
The familiar yet unfamiliar dream world and the memories of three lives should be regarded as gifts given by God to change his destiny!
Taking a deep breath, Lu Chen's confused eyes became firm again, and his fingers pressed on the strings again.
Original song, sung for the first time in the Forgettable Bar?
Lu Chen's words inevitably caused a small commotion in the bar. Many of the guests were surprised, and many of them thought he was trying to impress others.
Especially those old customers who know Lu Chen. They were already surprised at Lu Chen's performance in playing and singing "Flying Dove". Now they can't believe it when they hear that he is going to sing a song he composed.
How can it be so easy to be original!
Since the birth of modern pop music, countless classics have appeared in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, but now, there are fewer and fewer good original works, and some even say that all outstanding melodies have been written.
Of course, it is impossible to write a melody completely, but this statement also proves the difficulty of originality.
Many pop singers claim to be original, but their works are often patchwork or unremarkable. There are also such singers in the bar circle. They often hope to become famous with one song, but the result is often laughable.
Did Lu Chen also get carried away?
It's normal for young people to be impulsive. It's understandable when someone doesn't have passion.
But this does not mean that they think Lu Chen can produce good original works.
It's just that the title of the song sounds very interesting - You at the same table.
Many people thought of their former deskmates when they were young, and a smile appeared on their faces.
"Original..."
Su Qingmei pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Jianhao, your little guy is really secretive. I came to the right place today!"
The bar owner, who had been severely hit, said in dismay: "Listen to it, listen to it..."
Original? That’s nonsense. He doesn’t know how much Lu Chen weighs?
When Chen Jianhao asked Lu Chen to perform on stage, it was because he had a good appearance and a decent voice, so it would not be a big problem to fool outsiders. Anyway, he was just a back-up singer, and it didn't matter whether he sang well or not.
As for musical literacy, does Lu Chen have such a thing?
But having learned the previous lessons, Chen Jianhao won’t say more, just in case he gets slapped in the face again...
Where can he put his old face?
On the stage, the guitar intro played, and the soothing singing followed and drifted into everyone's ears.
"Will you remember tomorrow?
The diary you wrote yesterday,
Will you still miss me tomorrow?
You used to cry the most.
The teachers can no longer remember,
You who can’t guess the problem,
I also accidentally looked through photos,
I just remembered you at the same table!
Who married you who is sentimental?
Who read your diary?
Who tied up your long hair?
Who made your wedding dress...
..."
The customers present were stunned, and so were the waiters.
Chen Jianhao was stunned, and Su Qingmei was equally stunned.
Stunning!
A classic ballad belonging to another world, sung by Lu Chen, suddenly opened his/her heart!
