Chapter 120: Xu Meiyun, You Are Maiba

The song and dance hall proposed by Xu Meiyun is not close to Fa Song Restaurant at all.

The two of them first took a bus to the Bund, then transferred to the second bus, went south along Zhongshan Road, passed the old wharf, and almost arrived at the area of the Nanpu Bridge before arriving at their destination.

When changing trains on the Bund, Xu Meiyun took Chen Wen to the mobile photo spot with great interest, and took an intimate group photo with Chen Wen's arm.

The stall owner promised that the photos would be washed out and sent to Xu Meiyun.

Xu Meiyun filled in the address of her unit and told her to wash two sheets. Chen Wen rushed to pay the bill.

Xu Meiyun said that there are two photos, one for each of them. Chen Wen thought to himself, how dare he bring this photo back, it would be a big trouble if Su Qianqian knew about it!

Hop on the second bus and head straight to your destination.

The two of them found a double seat on the bus, Xu Meiyun took Chen Wen's arm, and said that she liked the double seat the most!

Looking at the river scenery outside the car window, Chen Wen sighed that the night in Shanghai is so beautiful!

Xu Meiyun said with a smile that although the distance was a little farther, and she took a slight detour, she just wanted to turn the time of the rush into a trip to see the scenery.

Chen Wen suddenly felt that Xu Meiyun was a girl with a lot of interest in life, and she was able to turn a very hard city traffic commute into a happy life.

---------------------------------

The Fox Cabaret was a typical entertainment venue of its time.

Interested readers can watch a TV series "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall", the cultural relics collection Da Ma Weidu is the director, Feng Xiaogang is one of the editors, many future big names in the literary and artistic circles play tricks in various dramas, Guo Degang's partner Yu Qian plays a gangster in it, and the model husband Huang Lei plays a lovelorn young man in it, and so on.

This kind of dance hall was a common leisure place in the first half of the 90s, with a huge hall and a small stage guarded by resident singers and small bands in front of the inner wall. Some dance halls ask for tickets, while others don't require tickets but set a minimum cost.

The main program of entertainment is listening to songs, ordering songs, and singing songs. The resident singer sings, and the guests listen, which is called listening to the song. The guests pay for a certain song to be sung by the resident singer, which is called a song. The guests pay for a certain song, the band accompanies it, and the guests themselves sing on stage, which is called singing.

Guests can enjoy the treatment of listening to songs all the time after spending a minimum spend. But if the guest wants to order a song or sing, they will have to spend more money on top of the minimum spend. But this is not necessarily, there are also differences in the rules of different places, for example, the minimum consumption has included one or two songs and singing quotas, and additional money is paid in addition to the quota.

---------------------------------

Xu Meiyun led the way, and the two came to the Fox Cabaret.

"Arwen, you haven't been here before, have you?" asked Xu Meiyun.

"It's the first time in my life!" Chen Wen said truthfully.

After being reborn, it was indeed the first time I came to the dance hall.

But in his previous life, Chen Wen was an acquaintance in the dance hall. After Zhang Juan's death, Chen Wen was very decadent for a while, ran to Nanyue to make a living, and always soaked in the song and dance hall in his spare time.

For a while, the money was spent, and Chen Wen had part-time work experience in several song and dance halls, as a usher, that is, a waiter.

The ticket to the Fox Cabaret is the minimum consumption, 38 yuan for two people.

Under the guidance of the usher, Chen Wen and Xu Meiyun were arranged at a small table at the very far periphery, which happened to be matched by two small chairs.

The treatment of 38 yuan is two cups of orange juice, a small plate of melon seeds and a small plate of fruit, about 20 melon seeds, and the fruit is only two pears and two oranges.

"The food served here is relatively small, but fortunately we are not here to eat, we are here to experience the atmosphere. Xu Meiyun took the initiative to comfort Chen Wen, she was worried that Chen Wen did not understand the market here and would misunderstand.

"Meiyun, although I have never been to a song and dance hall in Shanghai in my life, I have been to a dance hall in our hometown, and I know this line. Chen Wen said with a smile.

"Oh, so you're an expert! Do you want to sing a song on stage?" Xu Meiyun's big eyes flashed.

"Let's go back and talk about it. ”

---------------------------------

On the stage, two men are singing a song "Friends", and the voices of these two people are not resident singers when they hear them, they are completely howling, ruining Zang Tianshuo's famous track.

Chen Wen can't play the guitar, but that doesn't mean he can't sing, and it doesn't mean he doesn't know music.

During the years of working in the song and dance halls of Nanyue, Chen Wen was immersed in the singing of various resident singers every day, and he also had a good time with some of them. In the life of that circle, Chen Wen practiced at a good level.

Later, Chen Wen left the dance hall and took up many part-time jobs, including a few years in a bar, and his love for music and songs continued until he was reborn.

"Ah Wen, listen, this person sings so ugly!" Xu Meiyun's words made Chen Wen wake up from his memories.

A girl in her 20s on the stage is singing a song Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey", she looks good, the typhoon is also very good, most of the notes are also in tune, but it is obviously too pretentious, especially the kind of taste.

"Meiyun, Teresa Teng's song is very popular, you must be familiar with it, otherwise, you can come up and have a song, I look forward to hearing it!" Chen Wen encouraged.

"Okay!" Xu Meiyun agreed, turned her head and shouted, "Waiter!"

The waiter was in place instantly, charging the singing fee, 10 yuan for a song, Xu Meiyun was looking for a wallet, and Chen Wen rushed to pay it.

After a while, Xu Meiyun took the stage and sang another famous song "A Thousand Words" by Teresa Teng.

Purely in terms of singing level, Xu Meiyun's song definitely crushes the "Sweet Honey" of the beautiful woman in front of her.

If the appearance and figure are also included in the scoring system, then Xu Meiyun will be more than that, it is definitely Xu Meiyun in the sky and the beauty in the ground.

Chen Wen secretly compared "A Thousand Words" sung by Xu Meiyun and "Yesterday Once More" sung by Su Qianqian, and it was difficult to distinguish between them!

Chen Wen felt that Su Qianqian's song was more ethereal, and Xu Meiyun's song was more tender and seductive.

In the applause of the audience, Xu Meiyun returned to Chen Wen's side.

"Great! Meiyun, you sing so well!" Chen Wen handed the orange juice to Xu Meiyun.

"Of course, I'm in our line, and I have no opponent!" Xu Meiyun was happy.

"I believe that at your level, you can be a Maiba!" Chen Wen boasted.

"What do you mean by Maiba?" Xu Meiyun said curiously.

"Mai is the microphone of the microphone, and Ba is the person who occupies the microphone, referred to as Mai Ba!" Chen Wen explained the term of the future.

"What an interesting statement! Well, I like it!" Xu Meiyun was not polite at all.

---------------------------------

Chen Wen and Xu Meiyun were chatting warmly and happily, and one person walked up to their small table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to bother. A handsome guy with long hair said.

"Excuse me, do we know each other?" asked Xu Meiyun.

"Hello two, I'm the guitarist of the band. The handsome guy introduced himself, "This young lady, your singing voice is very beautiful." ”

"Thank you!" Xu Meiyun smiled sweetly.

"A few of us in the band discussed it, and we want to invite you to sing another song, for free!" said the guitarist.

"Oh, that's right. Xu Meiyun thought about it, she really wanted Chen Wen to also be on stage, so she asked, "Can my friend also sing with me?"

"This... The guitarist hesitated, "We just really hope that you can sing again, Miss, there are not many guests who sing well like you." ”

The guitarist turned to Chen Wen and said, "Sir, I'm sorry we haven't heard you sing, we may lack understanding of you, and we are not sure if you and this young lady are singing at the same level." I don't mean to offend you, our band simply wanted to show the audience the best singing of the night. If there's something offensive to you, I'd like to treat you to a drink!"

The guitarist snapped his fingers, and the waiter immediately brought a glass of beer and placed it in front of Chen Wen.

Chen Wen was relieved and very comfortable.

It turned out that the band recognized Xu Meiyun and wanted her to sing again.

The guitarist was polite and won Chen Wen's favor.

Chen Wen remembered his interactions with several resident band members in his previous life, which is a very good memory.

"Meiyun, to be honest, I also want to hear you sing again, would you like to?" asked Chen Wen.

"Of course no problem, I'll sing as much as you want. Xu Meiyun said.

After speaking, Xu Meiyun followed the guitarist to the stage.
