Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 659 Music Lovers

"Whether you like music or not has nothing to do with your identity. I am the owner of a private enterprise, but I also love music. This is not a contradiction." Duan Yun frowned, and then said: "I really don't have as high a level of music performance as you, But my love for music is no worse than yours. This time I asked you to be the endorsement because I was attracted by your music. There are too few people who play bands like you in our country. If you are willing to speak for our factory’s products , the price is negotiable..."

"What do you mean by endorsement? Do you want us to play on the street to help you sell your products?" Cui Jian asked with a frown.

In the past two years, there is basically no concept of celebrity endorsement in China, and the small band that recommends them is not considered a celebrity. , Duan Yun asked them to endorse the product, and the only thing he could do was go to the street to play and sell the product.

"No, no, no! You should have a bigger stage." Duan Yun shook his head repeatedly after hearing the words, and then said: "If you and your band are willing to endorse our factory's products, I will give you 5000 yuan a year as an endorsement fee, and in addition In addition to generous endorsement fees, I can also put you on a bigger stage, on TV, and hold concerts, all of which can be paid by our factory..."

"5000 yuan a year!?" Cui Jian's eyes widened when he heard the words. Duan Yun's proposed price obviously made him a little unbelievable, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "I still think we are not the same way, I think it's okay Bar.".

After all, although Cui Jian is young, he also belongs to the kind of person with brains and social experience. He still has some doubts about the sponsor who suddenly appeared and gave a lot of money. After all, there is no pie in the sky. Cui Jian really can't think of their small band, He De He De, who would make Duan Yun spend so much money to support them.

In addition, Cui Jian also has his own ideas about the development of the band. In fact, Cui Jian has already contacted an audio-visual company of BJ. He plans to release a solo album of his own, and all the songs will cover foreign famous songs.

"I said that I am also a music lover, and I also know some music. I asked your band to be the endorsement. In fact, I really feel that your band plays very well..." Duan Yun saw that Cui Jian was a little vacillating, and quickly explained .

"Well, since you said you also know music, can you prove it to us?" Cui Jian said disapprovingly.

"How do you want me to prove it?"

"It's very simple, as long as you can use the instruments in our band to play any piece of music, I think you really love music." Cui Jian said.

"Hehe." Duan Yun smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

Duan Yun really did not expect that Cui Jian would not be interested in his endorsement invitation. If this matter were placed on other unknown singers, they would definitely agree without hesitation. After all, the conditions given by Duan Yun are already very good. You must know that those well-known domestic singers are all actors in the system, and their salaries are pitifully low. Even the top domestic singers like Li Guyi and Jiang Dawei don't have much money a month.

Back when Li Guyi was in the Central Orchestra, he performed 52 performances in 72 days, sang 12 songs in each performance, and the performance fee was only 3 yuan.

According to her recollection, this was considered a very good treatment in the Central Orchestra at that time. After all, there was no performance fee before that, and sometimes the performers were given a few pieces of peach cakes after the performance.

At that time, the salary of ordinary workers was only a dozen yuan a month, but the salary of 3 yuan for a performance was obviously too little for Li Guyi.Even Li Guyi lamented that "she was born too early". If it is now, with her popularity at that time, the performance fee is estimated to be sky-high.

At this time, Cui Jian had not yet become famous, and there was a huge gap with singers like Li Guyi and Jiang Dawei, and now he actually rejected Duan Yun's 5000 yuan a year's endorsement fee.

"You don't even know how to play musical instruments, it seems that we are really not the same people..." Cui Jian said, spreading his hands.

"Do you have a guitar?" Duan Yun asked immediately when he saw that Cui Jian's band members were using either an accordion or a drum set.

"Can you play the guitar?" Cui Jian asked in surprise.

"It will be a little bit."

"Okay, I'll find you a guitar." Cui Jian got up and left the dining table, walking towards the lobby manager.

Guitars were very popular in China in the 80s. At that time, if you carried a guitar, you were a literary youth. Wearing long hair, wearing flared trousers, holding a guitar, and singing popular school songs back then, it almost became a symbol of the times.

The only musical instrument Duan Yun knows is the guitar. His guitar skills were learned in college. In fact, Duan Yun was keen on learning guitar at that time mainly for the purpose of picking up girls. At that time, Yun also tried his best to pursue Ronaldinho. He learned guitar and singing so that he could get into the school's literature and art department. Opportunities for more contacts.

But in fact, although Duan Yun put in a lot of effort to improve his guitar skills so-so, Duan Yun was eventually rejected by the school's literature and art department in a university full of masters. Fortunately, Duan Yun succeeded in the end and won. Ronaldinho's heart.

So when Duan Yun took the guitar from Cui Jian's hands when he recalled this past, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"I told the lobby manager that you can play a song on stage, but try to play it well so as not to irritate the guests." Cui Jian said to Duan Yun with a smile.

"Okay." Duan Yun took the guitar, touched the strings lightly, then put the guitar around his neck, got up and walked onto the stage.

Seeing Duan Yun walking on the stage, the other members of the band also showed surprise on their faces, but they also immediately opened some seats for Duan Yunteng. After all, in this restaurant, guests occasionally perform on stage in person.

"Come on!" Cui Jian patted Duan Yun on the shoulder, then walked aside, with his hands on his chest, ready to watch Duan Yun's performance.

After Duan Yun came to the stage, he grabbed the microphone, tapped the microphone twice with his hand, and then said to the audience:

"Everyone, today I will play a song I wrote for you called "Girl in the Flower House". I hope you like it."

The next moment, Duan Yun hugged the guitar, took a deep breath, and gently plucked the strings...
