Chapter 111: Zhang Xiaojun's singer friend
The night is thick, the neon lights on the streets are flashing in all colors, and the nightlife of Ben Cheng is rich and colorful, and the coastal cities are about the same, which is also unique, and it is very different from the inland cities, although it is not as drunk as the old society.
Zhang Xiaojun and Dong Yong took Zhou Bai into the famous bar street in Bincheng, there are many bars here, as well as KTV, discotheques and the like, which are worthy of the title of bar street in terms of title, after all, there are indeed a lot, although not the whole street is bars, but most of them are bar-related places.
Basically, since the late nineties, all kinds of streets have sprung up all over the country, a street for supper, a street for bars, and even a street for selling stationery, which is the effect of crowd gathering, and is also related to the characteristics of our domestic business.
The music is very noisy, as far as the eye can see, the crowd is surging, of course, it is mainly dominated by young people who are dressed very avant-garde, after all, the domestic bar culture has not flourished for a long time, young people like to chase the trend, chase the exciting life, and the bar and nightclub are exactly what they like.
"Brother Jun, this place is bustling and noisy, you often come here?" Zhou Bai saw Zhang Xiaojun greet the service staff at the bar, it seemed that he was quite familiar with this place, Zhou Bai asked curiously, Zhang Xiaojun is from the Bincheng Repertory Theatre, and his usual dress is also very conservative, and the painting style is obviously not in line with here.
"This is owned by a friend of mine, sometimes the repertory troupe has nothing to do, I occasionally come over to relax, have a glass of wine, I'm not an antique, this place is not bad, a glass of wine and listen to the singer sing, it's also a good way to relax. Zhang Xiaojun turned around and said.
"I said Lao Bai, your life is too boring, you stay in the crew when the crew is filming, and you still stay in the crew after the play, just like an old cadre, Yuan Yang doesn't have to be bored to death with you. Dong Yong complained that Zhou Bai was obviously only twenty-one or twelve years old, but his life was as usual and boring.
"I just don't like to join in the fun, people are crowded together, I'm not comfortable, I don't stay in the crew, I will also go shopping, eat supper, and watch the scenery, but I just go to a more casual place, there are fewer people, it's too noisy I don't like it very much. Zhou Bai explained that he didn't like a noisy environment, especially in places like bars and nightclubs, and Liu Ye also bet on whether Zhou Bai would go to Bundi during the Chinese opera, just because he didn't go before.
"Young people should be energetic, you see how good this is, drinking and chatting, and pickling girls, although you are already a master of the people, there is no problem with drinking, wait a moment there is a singer singing, the atmosphere can be high. Dong Yong said, the expression on his face was more excited, because of the environment, his voice was also a few degrees higher.
Well, Zhou Bai has to say that Dong Yong is much more energetic than him, he likes to hunt for curiosities so much, and he actually likes to go to the bar to play, but when he comes, he is safe, and when he comes, he has fun, Zhou Bai is not the kind of rigid person, and it is good to experience the culture of the bar.
This bar called "Emgrand" still occupies a large area, the neon sign is very conspicuous, after walking in, the sound of music is so loud that even the scalp vibrates, the lights flicker, it is not easy to see the appearance, the air is filled with the smell of tobacco, a little turbid.
"Xiao Li, arrange a private room for me, a small private room is fine, and a friend will come over later." Zhang Xiaojun asked the service staff to arrange a small private room, and then walked in with Zhou Bai and Dong Yong.
"Lao Bai, Lao Dong, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" Zhang Xiaojun asked.
"Of course, it's different from usual, Lao Bai, what do you want to drink?" Dong Yong said, motioning for Zhou Bai to order first.
"Do you have cocktails here?" Zhou Bai said, the current bars are mainly beer and foreign wine, but there are relatively few cocktails, and this place is not small, and it is not the kind of quiet cocktail bar, so Zhou Bai asked if there was one first.
"Yes, in addition to some traditional drinks and drinks, we also offer cocktails. The waiter said.
"Do you have any special features for the cocktails here, do you mainly drink soft or hard drinks?" Zhou Bai sat down on the sofa and asked the waiter.
"Sir, the cocktails on our side are mainly hard drinks, the base wine is genuine imported foreign wine, the bartender is specially invited back by the boss from the United States, and the cocktail he concocted has a soft taste, which is very popular with the guests. The waiter said.
The grade of this bar is not low, and the quality of the waiters is also very good, at least not like most bars now, the style is not clear, just random nonsense, at least the boss has a clear positioning.
"Bring me a cup of Long Island Iced Tea first. Zhou Bai said that he went to the bar only a handful of times, and it was Liu Ye and a few of them who dragged him to a bar in the capital before, and Zhou Bai's understanding of cocktails was limited to these.
"Okay!"
After Zhou Bai finished ordering, he went to Dong Yong, he still likes to drink beer, so he asked the waiter to serve a dozen, and so did Zhang Xiaojun, plus some things to drink.
"Okay, Lao Bai, I thought you had been living like an old cadre, but I didn't expect you to have some understanding of wine, so I underestimated you. Dong Yong said with a smile, Zhou Bai didn't have any uncomfortable expression when ordering wine, at least he had ordered it before.
"Ahem, I've been to the bar with my classmates before, and I've tasted the cocktails over there, and the taste is pretty good, although the wine is a little strong, but it's very delicious, just remember, Lao Dong, you don't know, I just don't like the place that is too noisy, it's not old-fashioned. Zhou Bai explained, and then rolled his eyes, isn't the life of an old cadre just drinking tea and reading the newspaper and walking around the corner, am I just leaving you with such an impression?
The three of them chatted and drank wine, and the topics they talked about were basically inseparable from the entertainment industry, Zhang Xiaojun had been in Bincheng for a long time, he knew a lot of people, he knew a lot of things, and some private things were like a few treasures, Zhou Bai didn't know much about this, he basically listened.
"Brother Jun, when is your friend coming? Wait for a singer to sing in the hall, I want to go over and have a look." Dong Yong said, after chatting for a while, Zhang Xiaojun didn't say who the friend who came, he likes to be lively, and he can't sit still at this moment.
"Don't worry, I've already made an appointment, my friend is from the music industry, a local in Bencheng, and they are popular now, if it weren't for something to return to Bincheng, I wouldn't be able to make an appointment, didn't I want to introduce it to everyone, and I knew each other." Zhang Xiaojun spread his hands and said, looked at his watch, and estimated that it should be about the same.
"Who the hell is it? There are not many people in the music circle who were born in Bincheng, and even fewer are popular, do you know Mr. Hongji?" Dong Yong asked with interest, when it comes to music, Yang Hongji is one.
However, it seems that the age gap is a bit big with Zhang Xiaojun, and he is a singer, a national first-class actor, or a professor of Xie Yi, so he should not come to this kind of place.
"Keep it secret first, and I'll introduce you later, it's definitely a popular singer. Zhang Xiaojun shook his hand and said.
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaojun's mobile phone rang, and after he answered it, he went out to pick up people.
After a while, Zhang Xiaojun took a man who couldn't see clearly into the private room, with long hair, a height of more than one meter and seven meters, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, and all kinds of tinkling chains.
Zhou Bai and Dong Yong stood up and waited for Zhang Xiaojun to introduce them.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is my friend Sun Nan, everyone knows him, Nanzi, this is my friends Dong Yong and Zhou Bai, both actors. Zhang Xiaojun introduced.
