Faced with countless pairs of eyes from the audience who were either surprised, confused or shocked.
Lu Chen smiled calmly.
He said: "Before I start singing, please allow me to change this guitar."
Lu Chen lifted the guitar with the pillow in his hand, turned to Qin Hanyang who was standing at the exit of the performance backstage, and asked: "Brother Da Qin, can you lend me an electric guitar?"
"Wait!"
Qin Hanyang agreed loudly, turned around and ran back inside without thinking, and got his electric guitar.
Then he rushed onto the stage with three steps and two steps at a time.
His electric guitar is a Fender made in the United States. Fender has the best quality among all similar brands. Of course, the price is also amazing. Qin Hanyang has always regarded it as a treasure since he bought it and has never lent it to anyone else.
But now he lent this Fender electric guitar to Lu Chen without any hesitation.
Not only that, Qin Hanyang also personally connected the cables to the electric guitar and delivered it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't expect that Qin Hanyang would actually send his electric guitar.
He took the electric guitar from Qin Hanyang's hand, exchanged the acoustic guitar for him, and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Brother Qin Hanyang, the lead singer of the Wandering Band!"
Qin Hanyang was caught off guard and quickly waved to the audience: "Hello everyone!"
The audience responded with warm applause and whistles.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Da Qin. Brother Da Qin will also perform on stage later. You will see us again."
"Then..."
"I would also like to thank the Blue Lotus Bar. It is the Blue Lotus that has given many singers like me who are wandering in the capital an opportunity, so that we can get together here and get to know each other on such a beautiful night!"
"The name of the song below is called Blue Lotus. I give it to the Blue Lotus Bar and to all the people who yearn for freedom and pursue their dreams, that is you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen raised his head and looked straight ahead, his eyes extremely determined!
"Nothing can stop..."
As the first lyrics were sung, Lu Chen strummed the strings vigorously.
The prelude sounded immediately, and the sound, which was not intense but contained power, rushed into everyone's ears instantly.
"Your yearning for freedom,
A fantastic career,
Your heart is free from worries!
Through the dark years,
I also felt hesitant,
The moment you lower your head,
Only then did I realize the path under my feet.
The free world in my heart,
So clear and lofty,
Blooming and never fading,
Blue Lotus!"
This song is completely different from "In Spring". It has no sadness about the vicissitudes of life, no melancholy of nostalgia for the past, and no passionate excitement. It brings people to the boundless plateau.
It is the place closest to the sky, pure, clear and lofty, and can cleanse the soul without restraint.
Holding ideals, loving all the beauty, singing firmly, calmly, quietly and loudly.
"Nothing can stop it,
your yearning for freedom,
A fantastic career,
Your heart is free from worries!
Through the dark years,
I also felt hesitant,
The moment you lower your head,
Only then did I realize the path under my feet.
The free world in my heart,
So clear and lofty,
Blooming and never fading,
Blue lotus~"
All the people and the audience listened quietly, as if bathed in warm sunshine. They could clearly feel the power from the singing, and could not help but be evoked countless beautiful memories.
There are not many heroic words in the lyrics of this song "Blue Lotus", and the melody is not full of ups and downs, but the touch and shock it brings to people is no less than that of "In Spring".
A song, a baptism of the soul!
The entire performance site fell silent again, and more than two thousand spectators solidified into lifelike sculptures. No one spoke or clapped or cheered. They were all listening and moved.
Until it disappears at the end.
Chang Wei suddenly woke up as if from a dream. He grabbed Chen Jianhao's arm and said in an unquestionable tone: "Old Chen, I want this song, and no one can take it away!"
Chen Jianhao's arm hurt from his grip, and he smiled bitterly: "Boss Chang, you have to discuss this with Xiao Lu."
Chen Jianhao understood Chang Wei's excitement.
A truly good song is hard to come by, especially a classic that can be sung for a long time. Of course, Chang Wei asked for this song not to be famous for himself, but for his bar, this song is simply
Priceless treasure!
Just imagine a band singing "Blue Lotus" in the Blue Lotus Bar. Such scenes and scenes...
Chen Jianhao suddenly felt a little jealous.
Lu Chen actually wrote "Blue Lotus" for Blue Lotus, why didn't he write "Forget-Worry Grass" for Forget-You-Cao?
Chang Wei chuckled, and let go of his hand, with a sly look in his eyes.
"You are his boss, he must listen to you. Besides, he said that this song is for Blue Lotus."
How could Chen Jianhao be fooled? He shook his head and said, "He told everyone else! In fact, Xiao Lu..."
"We are quite short of money. As long as you are willing to spend some money...well, don't tell others, he has a bit of a stubborn temper!"
Chang Wei stared at Chen Jianhao.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so what else is there to talk about?
The meaning revealed in Chen Jianhao's words is very clear. As long as he, Chang Wei, is willing to spend a lot of money, he can naturally win this song. If he doesn't want to spend more money, then he shouldn't say anything more.
Lu Chen's temper is a bit stubborn!
Chang Wei thought for a while, reached out and called a waiter and said: "Hurry up to the backstage of the performance and invite this teacher Lu Chen over. Tell me that I have something to discuss with him."
The waiter bowed and replied: "Okay boss, I'll go over and invite you right away!"
Chang Wei was worried and ordered again: "Remember to be polite!"
"Go!" "Go!" "Go!"
At this time, the familiar shouts rang out again. The audience who were moved by Lu Chen's second original new song were not satisfied, but were even more eager to hear that wonderful music again!
But their enthusiasm could not retain Lu Chen anymore.
Lu Chen held his electric guitar, bowed and saluted the audience: "Thank you, everyone, thank you!"
Then he stepped off the stage amidst a wave of "rush".
The audience felt sorry, helpless and lamented.
Warm applause followed, not only to retain but also to express appreciation!
Lu Chen's singing at night was perfect. One song "In Spring" and another "Blue Lotus" took away all the scenery tonight. All the bands and singers who have appeared before can't compare with it, and I believe there are no latecomers who can compare with it.
Therefore, he can't continue to be in the limelight. After all, this is not the home ground of the Forgotten Grass.
You must know that behind him is the mainstay of Blue Lotus, the Compass Band newly signed to Qingyu Media!
What Lu Chen didn't know was that just as he walked off the stage, Gan Lang, the lead singer and leader of the Compass Band, was suffering indescribable suffering backstage.
Originally, he had full confidence in himself and the Compass Band. He believed that tonight, with two original works, he would become a blockbuster and become the absolute protagonist on the stage, making a good start for signing a new company.
As a result, Lu Chen came on first and crushed his self-confidence to pieces with the song "In Spring", and then made him lose all his courage with the second song "Blue Lotus".
Can't compare, don't want to compare and don't dare to compare!
What's extremely ridiculous is that before this, Gan Lang had been giving Lu Chen condescending instructions, not wanting the latter to lose badly.
Now that he thinks about it, he feels ashamed.
Gan Lang suddenly stood up and said to Qin Hanyang and Sister Na: "Da Qin, Sister Na, it's up to you to play next, I... I have to leave beforehand!"
Without waiting for the two to answer, Gan Lang turned around and left through the staff passage, without even greeting his bandmates!
His friends were all shocked!
Qin Hanyang and Sister Na looked at each other.
The two of them knew very well that Gan Lang was obviously so badly hit by Lu Chen's new song that he was mentally unbalanced. It was very wise to give up on stage under such circumstances, otherwise he would not be in the condition to sing well.
In this regard, neither Qin Hanyang nor Sister Na knew what to say.
Gan Lang's luck was too bad, or the opponent he chose was too strong!
But who can know in advance?
"Brother Qin, Sister Na!"
Lu Chen, who knew nothing, returned to the backstage and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Sister Na laughed, opened her arms and hugged Lu Chen.
