Du Qiu found Qin Weizhen at the adjacent table who was talking to a few girls of the same age, and was about to ask her about the gossip about the celebrity's business performance, but there was a very lively applause and applause behind him, and it seemed that a particularly popular star appeared, and when he turned his head, he found that a brown-haired foreign woman had stepped onto the rostrum, wearing a big red jacket with Chinese national characteristics, full of joy, as if she was going to marry a bride.

"Who is she?"

"Don't you usually watch TV? This is Linda Carr, the star of "Girls in Beijing". Qin Weizhen saw that Du Qiuzhen didn't know him, so he introduced: "She married a Beijing gentleman on TV, and she wore this dress at the wedding, this TV series has high ratings, and many TV stations have let it go, it is said that there are 600 million viewers across the country to watch it, and it is very popular." ”

This kind of theme of Chinese and Western cultural clash and blending is very popular 20 years later, let alone the 90s......

But such a popular TV series, how come I have never seen anyone mention it on the Internet before I crossed over......

Linda Carr said a few opening words in somewhat blunt but fluent Chinese, and then sang a song "The Heart Will Go with Love", the singing was very general, but the response was very enthusiastic, in the discussion of the melon-eating masses, Du Qiu knew that this song that he sang all over the streets in his childhood was actually an episode in "Foreign Girl in Beijing".

"How much is the appearance fee of these stars?"

"Look at the popularity, seven or eight thousand are popular, and one or two thousand are ordinary. ”

"Just sing a song?"

"How is that possible, according to the convention, it is customary to sing four songs, and if you are happy to sing, you can also give a few songs for free. Qin Weizhen looked at Du Qiu with the eyes of a disciple and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't do anything, just ask, satisfy your curiosity. ”

At this time, a couple came over with a child to take a group photo, Du Qiu got up to cooperate, and asked Qin Weizhen to help take a few photos, and after the shooting, I saw Linda Carr singing another song under the cheering request of the audience, this time singing "Kiss Goodbye", "Kiss Goodbye" was released in 1993, but at this time it was still hot, and it was circulated in the streets and alleys, so many people sang softly.

"They participate in commercial performances, how do they deal with the copyright of lyrics and songs?"

"If you don't deal with it, this kind of small commercial performance is a cash transaction, there is no way to check, if someone reports it, it is said to be a friendship performance, free of charge, and has no commercial interests. Qin Weizhen spread his hands and said, "I know that you attach great importance to intellectual copyright, but now that the national situation is like this, there is no way." Hey, by the way, I heard my cousin say that there is a singer in the bar in Beijing who covered your song "Jasmine Blossom", which is quite popular. ”

"Really?" Du Qiu was a little surprised and asked, "What's that person's name?"

"A nobody who hasn't even released a single, my cousin doesn't know, and he said it's not as good as you sing. ”

Du Qiu's singing skills are not good, he can only roar, he has been hit many times by Du Chunhua and Jiang Danfeng, and at this time, he was a little proud when he heard the words, and said: "Your cousin has a good taste, you can learn more from him." ”

"Pull it down! You are his master, of course he holds you. Qin Weizhen scoffed and teased: "You still write songs honestly, singing is really not suitable for you." ”

"I'm also your gold master, why don't you hold me?"

"You are a big man, don't you force me to hold stinky feet as a student at school?"

"Hey, hey, tell me clearly, which of my feet stinks?"

In the bickering between the two, Linda Carr sang "Kiss Goodbye", her singing skills are average, but she is beautiful, the typhoon is also good, her expressions and movements are very rich, and she will interact with the audience with the lyrics, so at the end of the song, the hall was full of applause, and many greasy middle-aged men whistled or joked at her.

Linda Carr is not a professional singer, she only sang two songs and then stopped performing, she just stepped off the podium, a middle-aged woman with a big waist and a round waist jumped up, picked up the microphone from the stand, and said in an accent with the smell of Northeast scum: "You men's dream lovers have finished singing, now it's our women's dream lovers to sing, sisters, let's let Du Qiu sing on stage, okay?"

"Good!"

"Du Qiu, go up quickly. ”

"Du Qiu, Du Qiu, Du Qiu!"

Du Qiu was not confident in his singing level, so he waved his hand again and again to say no, the eldest sister urged him twice, and when she saw that he was struggling and not moving, she said excitedly: "Du Qiu, as long as you come up and sing a song, I will order an extra 100,000 yuan of goods next year!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a lean man jumped up like a monkey with his tail stepped on, and shouted: "You ruined! Du Qiu is a billionaire, do you care about your 100,000 yuan? Hurry up and give it to me, don't be embarrassed there." ”

The eldest sister was a violent temper, and after being reprimanded, she exploded directly on the spot, pointing at the man and sarcastically: "I'm sorry! Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and he Du Qiu can make so much money, all of which are supported by us ordinary people, so you are allowed to watch foreign beauties sing, and I am not allowed to spend money to invite handsome Chinese guys to sing?"

This couple is really interesting......

actually ate flying vinegar in public......

"Little brother, go up and up, you sing a song and I'll cook a dish. ”

"Sister, I've lost weight recently, and I don't eat anything, don't push me. ”

In the laughter of the crowd eating melons, Du Qiu was pushed and shoved by his own mother, and forced onto the rostrum step by step, he took the microphone from the hand of the tough eldest sister and was about to speak, but saw Jiang Danfeng walking in from the front door of the banquet hall, holding his mobile phone to signal to him, it seemed that there was an important call.

At this time, it was obviously inappropriate to step down to answer the phone, Du Qiu made a gesture to Jiang Danfeng to call back later, and then asked the eldest sister Biao, "Eldest sister, what song do you want me to sing?"

"You can sing any song, you can sing it casually, my sister likes it. ”

"Oh well. ”

Du Qiu is sullen, usually likes to be quiet and does not like to move, but if he moves, he will play more crazy, since he is on stage, he decided to pretend to be forced back, after a little deep groaning, he thought of an idea, and said to the audience: "Foreign beauties can sing "Kiss Goodbye" in Chinese, we Chinese handsome guys can't fall behind, I'll sing "Kiss Goodbye" in English, how about it?"

"Good!"

"Du Qiu is enough to fight for our Chinese men!"

"Mr. Du, if you sing well, I will also order an extra 100,000 goods!"

"I'll order 200,000 more!"

Du Qiu raised his right index finger and made a boo movement on his lips, then held the microphone with both hands, bowed his head in contemplation, Qin Weizhen faintly felt that he was going to make a big move, and hurriedly went to find the photographer who took the live video of the thank you banquet, ready to remind him to shoot carefully, but as soon as he found it, he saw Su Wenxiu also coming, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then drove the photographer who was standing in the back row to take a panoramic view to the front row close to the rostrum.

"Is Kiss Goodbye available in English?"

"There shouldn't be, looking at Du Qiu's appearance, it's obvious that he is making up words improvly. ”

"He really thinks he's a genius, he dares to make up lyrics on the spot, and if he sings badly, I'll laugh at him for at least ten years!"

"And what if he sings well?"

"It's not like you haven't heard him sing, it's definitely not good. ”

Du Qiu pondered for about two minutes, recalled the lyrics of the English version of "Kiss Goodbye" "Take Me to Your Heart" a few times in his mind, and felt that the time was almost up, so he snapped his fingers, motioned to the sound engineer to play the accompaniment, and then walked to the opposite side of the fierce eldest sister, posed with affection and inseparability, and began to sing.

In the 90s, a lot of entertainment was not attractive to Du Qiu, video games were too basic, he had watched almost all the popular movies before the time travel, and he was not interested in nightclubs, so he only did two things in his spare time during these two months in Silicon Valley: practicing calligraphy and practicing the harmonica.

The so-called practice makes perfect, practice more, the level naturally rises a lot, and art is easy to bypass, Du Qiu's brush calligraphy has improved, the pen writing has also become beautiful, the harmonica ability has improved, and the musicality, rhythm, breath and other vocal music-related skills have also improved unconsciously, so when Du Qiu only sang two or three sentences, Qin Weizhen was surprised: "This guy can't have surgery on his throat in the United States, right? ”

"It's better than ever. Su Wenxiu's English was not good, and she couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics, so she asked, "Is the lyrics well written?"

"Not bad. ”

Danish pop band Michael Learns To Rock sang "Kiss Goodbye" into an English version of "Take Me to Your Heart" in 2004 After that, it was very popular in China, Du Qiu sang many times in KTV when he reunited with his classmates before crossing, and also tried to sing another song with the accompaniment of a song, which is very familiar, so although the arrangement style is completely different, he is not worried about stringing words, and he sings handily, and soon attracted the audience.

"Chunhua, your brother is such a wonderful person, he can surprise people anytime and anywhere. ”

"He's crazy and likes to show off half a bottle of vinegar everywhere. ”

"Ha! your mouth is crooked and hypocritical, if he is half a bottle of vinegar, what are we?"

Du Qiu's facial contours are relatively rounded, lacking distinctive personal characteristics, in order to make up for this, when customizing a suit in Osaka, Jennifer helped him choose a dark coat and a black shirt, coupled with a metallic gray twill tie, creating a cold and tough image, at this time singing love songs to a tough big sister, and singing affectionately, there is a kind of iron man soft intestines, absurd and uninhibited contrast cute, not only does not lose fans, but makes many female audiences crazy, screaming again and again, standing in the audience to watch the lively Linda Carr also threw several kisses at him, looking like a fascinated fan girl。

The tough eldest sister is also a good person, twisting her bucket-thick waist, dancing while throwing flattering eyes, I don't know if she understands English, or has a good sense of musicality, and Du Qiu's singing is very tacit, causing bursts of laughter from the audience, and the atmosphere is extremely warm.

When Du Qiu finished singing the lyrics, before the accompaniment was over, the fierce eldest sister stepped forward and hugged him, and said to the thin man in the audience: "You dead ghost, be kind to my mother in the future, otherwise I will divorce and marry Du Qiu immediately!"

The audience laughed again, applause was like thunder, Du Qiu originally wanted to say a few funny words, his eyes swept away, and saw Jiang Danfeng still standing at the door, holding the mobile phone high in his right hand, and marking a "VIP" character in the air with his left hand, knowing that the call was very important, so he broke free from the bear hug of the fierce eldest sister, hurriedly left the rostrum, walked over and asked, "Whose phone is it?"

Jiang Danfeng didn't answer, but complained softly: "You should sing that song to me just now." ”

"I'll sing it to you when I get back to the hotel, until I get tired of hearing you. ”

"That's pretty much it. Jiang Danfeng smiled, held the radio hole and handed him the mobile phone, and said, "It was Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee who called, and they listened to your singing through the mobile phone just now." ”

"Them?"

"Well, all the Standing Committee members of Sanjiang Province and all the Standing Committee members of Yuncheng City. ”

I actually played a live show in 1995......

At the provincial standing committee, it is estimated that there is no one before and no one will come after......
