From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 11 Sunny Day
Speaking of handing out leaflets, I used to hand out leaflets when I was part-time and performing in a band, but at that time the target was young people. This time, it was the first time for me to hand out leaflets to middle-aged and elderly people. I took the No. 39 bus, about two Ten minutes later, our group came to Sunshine Plaza in W City.

Zhang Zhiqiang first asked me to watch what my colleagues posted, to observe and emulate, and then I imitated them to find the old people passing by the square.

"Hello, uncle and aunt! Do you want to know more about travel? Two-day tour, including food and lodging. Auntie!"

I sent it to no less than a dozen people, and no one was willing to stop to pick up my flyer. I was a little nervous. Although I might not be able to become a customer after accepting the order, I couldn’t even send out the flyer. Isn't there even a little bit of hope?

I was a little frustrated, so I walked to a corner of the square with a thick stack of leaflets, sat down on a bench, and lit a cigarette by myself.In a corner not far away, there were two young people singing, one was playing the piano and singing, and the other was playing the tambourine. Passers-by applauded, and some spectators took out their mobile phones and scanned the QR code in front of them. , to reward their performances.

I remember that when I was still in school, our band would occasionally go out to sell songs on the street. Xia Qing was the lead singer, and Lao Kang and the bassist and I would also sing a song or two. The money we earned that day was not shared equally. Instead, when it was relatively late, we used the money we received to eat barbecue and drink beer.

At this time, the promotional video of the Midi Music Festival was played on the display screen above the square, and many young people in the square turned their attention to it. Not long after, each member of the "Qinsheng Band" played a solo section Many friends who like music festivals are amazed at the video below, it’s so cool, you must buy tickets to watch the music festival.

Because the president Han Yishen also participated in the performance, Qinsheng Media Company has really spent a lot of money. Bus stations, subways, and squares with a lot of traffic have put up advertisements for this mystery music festival. It may be that Han Yishen wanted to catch up with Xia Qing , In order to make her popular, no matter what the purpose is, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, I came to the two people selling and singing. They were packing up the piano box. I scanned the QR code and transferred 10 yuan on Alipay. The guy who received the piano box stood up and said to me: "Thank you for your support! "

I smiled, and was about to leave without saying a word. Suddenly he asked me: "Dude, I think you look familiar. I remembered, aren't you the guitarist of Yunji band? When your band performed in University City I have visited, I am from the university next door to you!"

"Ah, buddy, you won't admit the wrong person!"

I took the Liqun cigarettes he handed me, and gave him the travel brochure, "Look at this in my hand, haha, I look like a person who can play music!"

"It shouldn't be! They look too similar!"

The guy scratched his head and wondered, "No, no, it can't be wrong. The promotional video just played is Xia Qing, the lead singer of your Yunji band. Let me see your fingers."

He picked up my left hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Hey, that's right, I said I read it right, the calluses on my fingers have betrayed you, hello, you can call me Lao Wan, I’m just a senior this year, so I basically don’t have any classes, so I’m going out to sell and sing on the street to make some money!”

"Brother, if you're really witty, just call me Yunqian."

Anyone who plays guitar knows that the longer you practice, the thicker and thicker the calluses on your fingers will become. After a while, I said in a deep voice, "However, I am no longer a guitar player. Yun Ji has also disbanded!"

"There is no banquet that lasts forever. However, your lead singer Xia Qing is doing really well now, and the sound of the piano is a big media company. I guess in the future! If you have a chance to become a big star, do you still plan to continue playing music in the future? "

"I don't know, probably not!"

"Why?"

"For life!"

I shook the flyer in my hand, and Lao Wan was silent. He seemed to have understood my words. Not everyone can have the opportunity like Xia Qing. The most important thing for media companies is people who can play musical instruments. People who bring greater commercial value to the company.

But I gave up this opportunity that would allow me to sign a contract, but I don't regret it. If I were given another choice, I would still choose to refuse.

"Old Wan, can I borrow your piano and equipment to play and sing a song?"

I put down the leaflet and broke the silence. Lao Wan didn't say anything, and he took out the piano for me again. He picked up the djembe from the friend who came with him, and prepared to play the rhythm for me.

"The little yellow flower of the story. Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a long time, but the wind gradually blew the distance away"

This song "Sunny Day" by Jay Chou can indeed remind many people of many past experiences, but some fates are gradually blown away by the wind just like the lyrics narrate.Not long after, some passers-by, and girls, some of them seemed to be recording with their mobile phones. It’s been a long time since I performed this happily. After playing a song, I felt refreshed. It's the feeling I'm looking for deep inside.

After the end, another wave of Lao Wan’s Alipay arrived. He invited me to have dinner with them, but I politely declined. After all, I didn’t send out a single leaflet and I didn’t have time to go, so he didn’t force it. We After leaving each other on WeChat, they left.

When you are in a good mood, your work status will naturally be better.This time I learned to be smart. When I met a target customer, I walked up to him and nodded slightly to express my bow, and at the same time said hello politely. At this time, I can send a lot more people who stop than before. I think there is intention Those who are willing to ask me, I will explain to them next to them.

No wonder the ancients often said: "Being courteous, people must ask for it!"

Not long after, all the leaflets in my hand were sent out. I don't expect everyone to become my client, but it's better than not sending out any leaflets. What if I meet someone who is just interested?Selling this thing is sometimes a matter of luck. In the same way, some people just come across it.

"Yunqian, you're all done! I still have a little left."

My colleague Tang Yun came to me and said, "Why don't you post some for me! I'll buy you a drink."

"Okay, no problem, Miss Tang!"

I smiled.

When I got back to the company, it was past 5 pm, and it was already time to get off work. After I clocked in, I went back to my rental house in Osmanthus Lane. I called Huang Bin to ask about the interview situation. He said that the interview has been completed and he will come to the company tomorrow to start. training.

This feeling is really a little funny, the former colleagues are now colleagues again.

Recently, I have already planned to do some side jobs, because I get off work early, and I am idle when I am idle. If I really want to win the stage by my own strength, I must have a team, an occasion, and an opportunity.

If I were just an ordinary salesman and went to and from get off work step by step every day, I might not be able to catch up with Xia Qing's footsteps in my life, but what should I do? Life and ideals, I am tortured by them now and I am almost unconscious up.
