In the evening, Bluebird Bar.
The endless drizzle seemed to have become the only theme of this spring and summer. The small square in front of the bar was crowded with people. All kinds of umbrellas and voices were intertwined into a noisy scene. The car slowly passed by with a whistle, and more than a dozen burly men in security uniforms were maintaining order at the door of the bar.
The Bluebird Bar, which was open to everyone on weekdays, became a consumption place that only ticket holders could enter on Saturday night. This was a rule that started two months ago, because at this time of the week, the concept band would sing one or two songs here.
They didn't release any albums, nor did they appear on any TV programs. The band's performance wasn't even considered professional. Sometimes, there would even be a situation where a member would forget the lyrics and have to start over again. Furthermore, they would only perform for ten to twenty minutes each time they came over. After that, no matter how much people protested, they would never appear again. The reason why people paid attention to them was because the song they performed every week was simply too amazing. It had a variety of styles and perfect lyrics and music. It was almost certain that as long as it was sung by a certain singer, it would become a hot mess.
With the release of "Dongfeng Po" and "Jiangnan" by two singers in March, their authors' signatures also confirmed the powerful explosive strength of the concept band.
Of course, it could also be said that it was the power that had been accumulated for decades in the music industry.
Since a month after the band's performance, there have been privately recorded tapes circulating in Jianghai City. After that, at least in Jianghai City, the concept band has gradually gained a group of fanatical fans. Although the scale of hundreds and thousands of people was completely disproportionate to those big stars, when they gathered every Saturday, the scale was not something that a small bar like Bluebird could accommodate.
Later, this bar with the background of Sha Zhu Bang could only send people to maintain order every week and limit the number of people who could go in at a time.
But even so, many people who didn't have the means to buy tickets would still gather outside the bar, waiting for the concept band's performance to be over, and then go home and listen to the noisy tapes for more than a week.
Walking out of the car, Fang Yusi subconsciously lowered the brim of her hat and walked into the small square where people were holding umbrellas and discussing. Four bodyguards were escorting her, and her agent, Sister Lan, softly explained what to do after entering.
No matter who the other party is, don't be angry. Talk nicely … Of course, I know you know what to do. Anyway, as long as you don't get into a fight and everyone sits together to talk things out, it should be fine. The other party shouldn't be too unreasonable. After all, you haven't been in Jianghai for long, so there shouldn't be any grudges that can't be resolved. "
"Yes."
"Anyway … it's not a big deal. Liu Bei even visited the thatched cottage three times. If you like his songs, you're already admiring him enough … I've never seen a songwriter like you …"
Although she said this, Sister Lan was obviously more dissatisfied with the concept band. It was just a song writer. If they were paid, wouldn't it be settled if they wrote songs for them? After so many years in the industry, she had never seen a singer who refused to come to their door.
However, the other party didn't want money. Secondly, the songs he wrote had the potential to be popular. Now, they were not in Hong Kong.
Coupled with the fact that the company attached great importance to this composer, there was no other way …
"I understand, Sister Lan."
Aware of the thoughts of the woman beside her, Fang Yusi smiled and said, "Sister Lan, you're more naggy than before. Could it be that you're in love?"
"Go …"
The two whispered and laughed for a while. When they squeezed to the door, they found that there seemed to be someone arguing in front of the door. When they took a closer look, they found that it was three foreigners. The man was Joseph from last night. Next to him was the blonde woman who bought the diamond necklace at a high price of 50 million last night. The black-haired mixed-race girl stood next to her mother, looking unhappy. The situation was obvious. They didn't get tickets in advance, but they wanted to go in to watch the performance.
"I'm sorry, madam. We really don't know the Gu that you're talking about. We have a rule here. If you want to go in tonight, you must book tickets in advance … Please don't make it difficult for us."
Although they heard that she had a gangster background, it was obvious that the people sent here had received professional training. The woman in front of them seemed to be rich and respectable. The security guard at the door was just trying to persuade her. Joseph, who was next to the blonde woman, frowned deeply. Compared to the several security guards, he was exuding an overwhelming aura. His eyes swept over the several security guards as if he was looking for a target.
At that moment, Fang Yusi didn't know what kind of feeling rose in her heart. On one hand, she was faintly happy that these three people were defeated. So what if they had money? So what if they had a necklace worth 50 million? They still couldn't get tickets to go in. On the other hand, she was even thinking about whether she should come forward and find a way to get them to go in with her.
"But … he told us to come, Blue … bird … Yes, it's here …" The blonde woman tidied her hair with her hand in annoyance, took a few steps back, and then took out a card to check the name of the bar. Although her expression was annoyed, she still looked very attractive.
Joseph on the side said in a deep voice, "Since you don't usually need tickets, why do you suddenly want them today? Sir, ask your manager to come out and talk to me."
"Uh, I think …" Seeing Joseph approaching, the security guard subconsciously took a step back, then looked at the card in Marilyn's hand and said, "Madam, can you show me your card?"
"Huh?
Well, of course. "
With a slightly stunned look, Marilyn handed over the card and said by the way, "He gave this to me, otherwise I wouldn't have found the place."
"Then there's no problem."
After checking the card, the security guard smiled and handed it back to Marilyn. "Since you have this card, you can go in at any time. You can also enter the backstage at will. It doesn't matter."
"Uh, really …" Marilyn put the card back into her small handbag, looked at Joseph, and then pulled her daughter in through the door.
Fang Yusi sighed in her heart. A billionaire is a billionaire. In this kind of place, he can casually take out a VIP card … Although it was not a high-class place, she could feel the difference in treatment. She still felt a little depressed. If she had that card, she wouldn't have to bribe those people to sneak in.
In fact, Fang Yusi had been to the Blue Bird Bar once last Saturday. It was nothing more than a simple late-night carnival spot. It had a regular bar, a regular dance floor, a regular performance stage, and a regular waiter.
After entering the hall, Fang Yusi and Sister Lan squeezed directly into the passage leading to the backstage so that they could react in time.
However, halfway through, Fang Yusi said a few words to her companions and turned to the side.
In a seat not far away, Joseph took the red wine from the waiter. He frowned and said to Marilyn next to him, "That boy … is he really singing here?"
"Yeah.
Since he said so, it must be so. "Looking at the crowded scene, Marilyn responded with a smile.
"The scale is amazing."
Joseph shook his head and smiled, "Looking at the appearance of those people outside, I even thought this was an Elvis concert."
"He can always do amazing things."
As if her husband or son had such an achievement, Marilyn smiled brightly. At this moment, a female voice sounded from the side.
"Well, Mr. Joseph?" There seemed to be some doubts and uncertainty in the pleasant voice, and Fang Yusi came over from the side.
Joseph stood up, still a little confused for a moment, but then he recognized her, "You are … Miss Fang?
You are now … and yesterday … oh, you are like two different people … "
"Sorry, I was drunk yesterday and caused you trouble. I saw it over there just now, but I was still a little uncertain. I didn't expect Mr. Joseph to like the songs of the concept band."
"It is a man's honor to serve a beautiful woman. Please sit down. By the way, I almost forgot to introduce them. These two are my companions, Ms. Marilyn, Miss Heidi, and this is Miss Fang, Marilyn, do you remember?
She was sitting beside me yesterday … "
Under Joseph's introduction, the two sides had another round of greetings.
The little girl didn't seem to like talking to strangers very much. She didn't even say hello. She just pulled her mother aside and whispered. Because of the noise of the crowd, Fang Yusi could only roughly hear her complaining about who didn't come out. Although she couldn't hear the name, it was obviously not a concept.
Combined with the fact that the three of them were obviously not familiar with the concept band, Fang Yusi immediately thought that since they could get that kind of VIP card, could it be that they had a good relationship with the members of the concept band?
Marilyn and the little girl were talking, while Fang Yusi and Joseph were chatting about everything. The music in the bar was deafening, and the crowd was dancing on the dance floor.
Not long after, it was eight o 'clock. All the music gradually stopped under the control of the DJ, and the crazy dancing crowd consciously restrained their voices. Just from this move, it could be seen what kind of position the concept band had in these people's hearts.
"Well, everyone, the time is exactly eight o 'clock. The long-awaited program is ready to start. Time is precious. I won't be long-winded. Next, let's warmly welcome — concept!"
In an instant, there was a burst of cheers in the crowd. The first figure came out from the back of the small stage, and then fell to the ground with a bang. The loudspeakers around made a deafening sharp sound, so that the people in the ballroom couldn't help but cover their ears.
"Sorry … Sorry, there are too many wires, and I tripped …"
What came out of the microphone was a somewhat gender-neutral girl's voice. A person in the back untied the wire wrapped around her feet. She stood up with the support of the long pole where the microphone was placed. Such a mistake made the crowd laugh again.
Not long after, the four of them had already taken their positions on the small stage. Each of them was wearing a strange mask that made people laugh and had an ugly cloak draped over their shoulders. However, it was still very easy to recognize that this group had come out today as three women and one man.
"Cough, sound test as usual."
Knocking on the microphone, the man who spoke was the lead singer of the band, wearing a strange banana mask on his face. "Well, this is the concept band, and I'm Banana. The two behind me are the familiar Cucumber and Eggplant, and the one on the far side is Durian who occasionally makes a guest appearance.
Well, according to the old rules, there are some things to make clear first. The mix of today's song is more complicated, so a lot of things are recorded in advance, and the effect of singing is probably not perfect. The background is probably similar to the concept of the Mafia, the Godfather … "
Hearing the word Mafia, Joseph frowned subconsciously, and Marilyn's eyes lit up. Then she repeated the words to Heidi.
"Well, get ready to start. By the way, the name of the song is … In the name of the Father."
