From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 22 "New·Yunji Band" rekindled

I practiced this song "Untitled" for three months at the time, and played it several times after I learned it.

After the song ended, the guests in the bar applauded me one after another.

Until I sang the original song, this was the first time I sang this song with so many outsiders, and I saw some guests recorded my song with their mobile phones.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yunqian. I just graduated and came out of society. Music is my dream. I don't want to give up easily. Next, I will bring a song "Hotel California" with the band behind me. Thank you!" Looking at their enthusiasm and listening to their applause, I was deeply moved.

"come on!"

"do not give up!"

"Yunqian, I love you!" Some girls even jumped and shouted from below, "Lead singer, we love you even more!"

I waved the microphone and smiled, then took the tens of thousands of Gibson electric guitar provided by the bar, tried the sound test, I nodded to Wan Shihao, the saxophone sounded slowly, and the Eagles used trumpets, We switched to the saxophone, and with the melody of the guitar, the atmosphere of the music was rendered in every corner of the bar.

The atmosphere at the front was quite quiet, but when the song ended with the electric guitar solo, my fingertips danced quickly on the fingerboard, and the atmosphere at the scene became noisy again.

Until the end of the whole song, the lead singer Wan Shihao said excitedly: "Thank you very much for your liking, how does our new partner play the guitar? Do you still want to watch him perform? Well, let's leave the next time to He, let's prepare first, see you later, thank you!"

There was another round of applause at the scene. I tied my hair into a braid with a rubber band and improvised for about 5 minutes with an electric guitar.

"Thank you! Thank you everyone present. Next, we will bring you the last song. I believe you have listened to it countless times, but...every time you hear it, you will have a feeling of youth in your heart!"

Looking at the people at the scene, I was very moved. At this moment, I don't want to say too much, all the emotions are in the music.

After the performance of the last song, Wan Shihao said some words of thanks. Everyone likes our style. Welcome to the bar next time!After we left the stage, a band of several girls came on stage.

In the lounge, Manager Wang put a contract in front of me and said, "Brother Yunqian, I watched your live show tonight. It was really wonderful. This is a long-term resident contract, 3000 a month. If you perform well in the later stage, you can Salary increase... the working hours are from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] every night, and the position of the guitarist of the Thousand Yuan Band, what do you think?"

Wan Shihao and the others watched me from the side, because we were in the same school, we knew each other before, and I also promised him to do part-time performances with them in the future, the income is a little lower, but the time is much more abundant.

As for me, what I lack most now is time. I still have a job as a travel consultant. I usually don’t have time to rehearse too many songs during the day. If a client travels in a group in the future, I won’t be able to spare myself to perform in a bar. .

Then he thanked: "Brother Wang, you also know that I have other jobs now, so I can't spare so much time! That's what I planned. I want to join Lao Wan's band, and they can just add a guitarist."

Manager Wang was slightly disappointed, pondered for a moment, asked Wan Shihao what he thought, and smiled at me after seeing him nodding and said, "Okay! If you work part-time, the salary may be a bit low, 50 yuan per person, about half an hour, are you sure? It’s a good time to perform, contact me in advance, I can make arrangements here, so as not to bump into other people.”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Wang!"

Originally, I only planned to do a side job in my spare time and be free. 50 yuan is not low for me. I can not only have a platform to show myself, but also earn some extra money.

When I was in school, I spent my parents’ money without blinking my eyes. After I came out of the society, I realized that when you have no money, it is not easy to earn 50 yuan, let alone 10 yuan. It takes some labor and sweat.

I added Manager Wang's WeChat, and he generously gave us a bottle of wine and left.

"Yunqian, welcome to join!"

Wan Shihao smiled and shook hands with me.

"Well, friends, we will be a team from now on, we are new here, please forgive me!" I said to everyone.

"Senior, be humble, you are the senior, how do you say it... Let me think about it..." Guo Kai beat the drum kit with a drum stick, and said: "Yes, the master brings Mengxin!"

Chang Yang took the pick in his hand and smashed it on Guo Kai's head, jokingly said: "Kaizi, you have seen too much of a full-time master! I can tell the autumn by a leaf!"

"Why don't you say you are Lord Grim?" Li Jian glared at Chang Yang and said with a smile.

"Hahaha…"

The laughter of several of us suddenly came from the lounge. The scene at this time seemed familiar, and the memories in my mind were vivid again.

I can't help but think of me, Xia Qing, Lao Kang, Qi Qi, Kun Kun, Qin Wen, Yang Yang, Brother Yu, our Yunji band playing and bickering in the school rehearsal room. Moist, all of that...is nothing.

"Okay, okay, today is Yunqian's first day joining us, let's be more serious, let's introduce ourselves formally, starting with me!" Wan Shihao was the first to stand up, and said seriously: "Acoustic guitar and Lead singer Wan Shihao, welcome to Yunqian!"

"Chang Yang, starting today... from lead vocals to rhythm guitar, welcome Yun Qian!"

"I am the king of bass, bassist Li Jian, welcome to Yunqian!"

"Guo Kai, just call me Kaizi, the drummer who only hears his voice but doesn't see him, welcome Senior Yunqian!"

I looked at them, my heart fluctuated, and I slowly said: "Yun Qian, the lead guitarist, it's a pleasure to meet you, we will play music together in the future, I will treat guests tonight, and the barbecue beer is enough..."

"Hahaha..." There was another burst of laughter. After graduation, I live alone, and the only one who can talk is Su Mengyuan's cat. This feeling is really solid, like a partner.

Each of us is afraid of loneliness, especially when we are in a foreign country, we need a few friends who have fun and share the same goals.I don't want to be able to do anything, just want to be able to drink beer and eat barbecue when I want to talk.

With the bottle of wine that Manager Wang gave us, we went to a barbecue restaurant near the bar and got a little drunk. At this time, Wan Shihao picked up half a glass of white wine and said to me: "Yun Qian, you have more experience in band performance than us, I think it's more suitable for you to be our captain in the future!"

"Well, yes, senior!" Guo Kai echoed in agreement.

"Old Wan, this is impossible. Brothers were formed by you. This is inappropriate. You also know my temperament. I didn't become the captain of the Yunji band before. I'm used to freedom. I can't just because I have high performance experience. Everyone is the same, you are more suitable..." I clinked glasses with Wan Shihao and drank it in one gulp. These words are from my heart, and my character is really not suitable for management.

Immediately, Wan Shihao drank the half glass of white wine readily, and said in a deep voice, "Then, all right! Yun Qian, I know you have special feelings for Yun Ji, so I've already figured it out... The name of the new band is 'New· Yunji Band', I think this is what you long for deep in your heart, but don't worry, we all have no objections, let's let Yunji Band rekindle their lives! What do you think?"

I didn't say a word, Lao Wan's words hit the nail on the head, and they were churning repeatedly in my heart, just like the white wine that I just drank in one gulp, my whole body was burning hot, like a prairie fire like a flame.

"Well... okay, thank you, Lao Wan!"

As I said that, I drank another glass of beer, and I didn't take a taxi back to the intersection of Osmanthus Alley until I drank with Lao Wan and Kaizi until 23:30 in the evening.

Drunken, I lit a cigarette and walked slowly towards the house. When I got to the artificial pond not far from the door of my house, by the light of the street lamp, I saw a somewhat blurred and double-imaged girl sitting in the lockbox. Bow your head and play with your phone...

I know her, I remember she said, don't want to see me again, don't appear in front of her again.

I don't know why she came to me so late, I just feel dizzy, I took out the key from my pocket and walked towards her.
