Earlier, when Lu Chen officially invested in Wangyoucao, Chen Jianhao told him that there would always be a place for him here.
Boss Chen didn't just say this casually. After the renovation of Wangyoucao, the size of the bar has doubled, and there is an extra seat that belongs to Lu Chen and will always be reserved for him.
Normally, no matter how busy the bar is, this seat is always vacant. If someone wants to sit down, the bartender or other customers will kindly remind him.
In fact, this can be regarded as a little gimmick of the Forgettable Bar. The existence of this special seat is telling everyone that this bar has a big star shareholder, and if you frequent it, you may get unexpected surprises.
It's just that this seat welcomed its owner for the first time after the reopening of Forgettable Grass.
Regarding Chen Jianhao's thoughts, or more accurately, his thoughts, Lu Chen just smiled faintly.
"Let's have a beer..."
The bartender is no longer the original David, the humorous and witty guy who went south to pursue his love, but is now replaced by a pure foreigner named Rodney.
Rodney is an American. After graduating from college, he traveled around the country and fell in love with this city. He chose to stay and work part-time. He once worked part-time in a bar in New York, so he was not a novice.
Rodney is very young, handsome with brown hair and blue eyes. He speaks Chinese well. He knows Lu Chen and admires him very much: "Lu, I have listened to all your songs. You are the strongest singer."
!”
The foreigner spoke very directly and was naked when he praised him. Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you."
Rodney handed Lu Chen a glass of beer and asked curiously: "Lu, can you sing tonight?"
Lu Chen took it and took a sip and said, "Maybe."
While talking, Filia Chen came down from upstairs and came to Lu Chen's side: "What are you talking about?"
Rodney immediately looked straight, opened his eyes wide and asked, "Beautiful lady, may I ask your name?"
Filia Chen smiled and said nothing, and reached out to hold Lu Chen's arm.
Rodney couldn't hide his disappointment: "Oh, it turns out you are Lu's girlfriend. Do you have any sisters?"
Lu Chen and Filia Chen both laughed, this guy is really interesting and thick-skinned.
At this moment, a singer appeared on the stage holding a guitar.
When the Forgettable Bar was renovated, a huge amount of money was invested in renovating the audio-visual equipment. The original performing arts stage was also renovated, a new background screen was replaced, and the lighting and other effects were much stronger than before.
The singer is in his twenties, not very tall, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with long hair hanging down to his shoulders. He has sharp and angular features and is quite handsome, and has a prodigal-like temperament.
He was obviously quite popular among the Forget-me-nots, and he attracted the attention of many customers as soon as he appeared, including many young girls, who cheered and clapped as if they came just for him.
Chen Jianhao introduced to Lu Chen: "Xiaozhuang, a new singer, has some talent and can sing folk songs very well."
Lu Chen nodded.
The singer named "Xiao Zhuang" sat down on the stool. He did not respond to the fans' calls. He just held the guitar and tuned it. Then he raised his head and said coolly into the microphone: "
Young Jinshi."
The song he played and sang was "Young Jinshi" from Lu Chen's "My Deskmate" album.
“It’s back to late spring in May, and there aren’t many people in the market in the early morning.”
"The children were singing in front of the door, and the sunshine warmed the stream."
"The catkins are blowing in the strong wind, and the people under the shadow of the trees want to sleep. The silent people start to be happy from this moment, taking off the puppets of winter, my melancholy white shirt..."
Since the song "Young Jinshi" was released, it has been regarded as a masterpiece among Lu Chen's folk songs. With the resurgence of folk songs, it has been covered by many singers.
In the past two years, there has been a nostalgic trend in the domestic pop music scene, mainly ballads. The trend started with Lu Chen's "My Deskmate", which established his position in the music world, and a large number of followers emerged.
This is not a bad thing. The biggest problem facing the Chinese music scene is the lack of originality. Everyone keeps covering and imitating works from Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea. Fast chants and lip songs are very popular, and the homogenization situation is very serious.
What Lu Chen brings is not only a folk style, but also an original style. All his works are original, which also allows people in the industry to truly feel the power of originality.
As a result, the status of songwriters in the circle has been greatly improved, and more singers want to prove themselves through original works and at the same time establish their own unique voice.
In this regard, a music critic mentioned on his Inspur blog that Lu Chen brought more than just two best-selling original albums to the Chinese music scene. He changed the industry atmosphere to a great extent, stirring up the turbid and clearing up the Chinese music.
Pop music has regained its own pride and dignity.
Such praise may be a bit exaggerated, but Lu Chen's influence on the music industry is real!
The difficulty of singing "Young Jinshi" is not high, but because there are many people singing it, it is not easy to sing the emotions and charm expressed in this song and to conquer the discerning fans and listeners.
Because Lu Chen's original performance has set a benchmark for this song that is difficult to reach.
However, this singer Xiaozhuang sings very well. His fingering on the guitar is very skillful, his intonation is impeccable, and his singing style has his own characteristics. As Chen Jianhao said, he has talent and handsome appearance.
No wonder it has attracted so many fans.
Filia Chen joked to Lu Chen in a low voice: "Are you feeling stressed?"
When Xiaozhuang played and sang, everyone's attention was on him, and few of them were still staring at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen laughed dumbly.
Chen Jianhao said: "This little guy admires you very much. He came to Wangyoucao just because of you."
According to Chen Jianhao, this is not a Beijing-based singer, but a rich second generation who likes music. He uses a top-quality guitar that costs more than 100,000 yuan. He is not singing at Wangyoucao just to make money.
Chen Jianhao said: "If you like him, you might as well sign him. He is a good prospect worth cultivating."
Today, Chenfei Media has begun to sign people. Although it has not signed a few people, everyone in the industry knows about it.
Lu Chen became a little interested: "Then let's call him over and ask."
Just at this time, Xiaozhuang finished singing the song "Young Jinshi". He still looked cool and did not interact with the fans. He returned to the backstage with his guitar in his arms.
I had something to go out today, so I almost missed it. There is only one update left, please forgive me. (To be continued.)
