Chapter 3, Fumiko Tea Art Bar!
"Manager, do you want a singer here?"
Galen found a restaurant that had just opened, and now business is not doing well, these restaurants are all catering during the day and opening a bar at night.
"You're alone, I'm sorry, we just need the band!"
The manager looked at him and refused outright.
The first application failed......
"Hello, are you the boss here?"
Another bar, judging by the situation, should have been open all night, and before it closed, Galen found the person in charge of the shop.
"I'm the art director here!"
The man with a pigtail yawned, glanced at the guitar Galen was carrying, and before he could speak, he refused, "We only need female singers here!"
The second one also failed......
Except for those who didn't open, as long as there were people in the store, Galen would go in and ask, but none of them wanted him, some still listened to him sing a few words, and some didn't even look at him.
As the morning passed, Galen sat on a bench on the side of the street, eating steamed buns while swiping his phone and looking up nearby singer job postings on the Internet.
Most of these online information are unreliable intermediaries, pay the intermediary fee first when you meet, and then introduce you to a small bar, and the bar owner will ask you for a deposit first.
After eating, Galen leaned back on the bench to rest, and his legs were sore after walking all morning.
In order not to waste time, he put on his headphones and listened to the songs, while taking out his guitar and learning those songs from another world.
The people who passed by were in a hurry, and none of them would pay attention to him, because there were so many young people like him in this area.
After resting for more than an hour, Galen got up again and set out on the journey, by this time many bars had already opened, and it was also the best time to look for a job.
After hitting a wall at several bars in a row, Galen walked to a newly opened tea bar, a tea and wine bar, and he decided to try his luck when he saw that the décor was not bad.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a young man coming out with a few posters to put them up.
He stopped and watched, only to see the first poster that the young man had unfurled, with a job posting written on it, a waiter, a bartender, a tea master, a singer......
Galen was excited and immediately stepped forward, "Hello......"
"Here, help me!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, the young man asked him to help hold the poster.
"Oh!" Galen didn't refuse, helping him finish the first poster together, and then put up the second.
The second is an announcement poster, which reads: Wen Tao, the weekly champion of "Dream Starlight Show", will meet you at Wenzi Tea Art Bar every night, please come!
"Dream Starlight Show" is a large-scale singing talent show broadcast by CCTV 2, and a weekly champion will be determined from the contestants every week, and there are super strong kicking players every week.
Against a kicker, the Weekly Champion will advance to the semi-finals if he wins, and if he loses, he will be eliminated, while the Kicker will advance to the Top 10 Finals if he wins five consecutive weeks against the Weekly Champion.
Many bars have eliminated contestants from "Dream Starlight Show" singing, and singers who have won the weekly championship, even if they are eliminated, will be competing for major bars.
Galen hadn't watched "Dream Starlight Show" much, but he found that the people on the poster were very familiar, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly turned his head to look at the young man who put up the poster, back and forth a few times, before he asked, "You are Wen Tao?"
"Hmm!"
The young man did not deny it, and after putting up the third poster of the store's introduction, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Galen.
Galen waved his hand to indicate that he did not smoke.
Wen Tao smiled, lit it himself, and glanced at the guitar behind Galen, "Are you applying for a singer?"
"Yes!" Galen nodded.
"Is there any original?" Wen Tao pointed to the third poster, which clearly read: All the resident singers in this bar have original songs that will surprise you.
Galen scratched his head, thought of those otherworldly songs, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
"Okay, come in and sing a song and I'll listen to it!"
As he spoke, Wen Tao turned around and took the lead towards the store.
Galen followed, and as soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged worker who was hanging a light shouted at Wen Tao, "Boss, is the position of the lamp so linen?"
Wen Tao walked over to inspect and direct the rectification, but Galen was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he was the owner of this shop, no wonder he had to do everything himself.
After Wen Tao finished adjusting the position of the lights, he walked to Galen's side again, took him into the office, and sat down on the sofa loudly, "Sing!"
"Hmm!"
Galen, who is accustomed to all kinds of difficulties, doesn't think Wen Tao has any polite or impolite problems, after all, Wen Tao is also a well-known singer, and some of his own personalities are nothing.
Galen took out his guitar, sat down in a chair next to him, and began to play and sing "Once Upon a Time".
"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword
Take a look at the prosperity of the world
Young hearts are always a little frivolous
Now you call the world home
The girl who once made you feel distressed
Now it is gone
Love always makes you yearn and feel annoyed
It has left you bruised all over your body
DiLiLi……”
The chords of this song are quite simple, the melody is catchy, although Galen has not experienced the vicissitudes of life like Xu Wei, and he has sung so vicissitudes, but he is also a person who has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and the youthful and sentimental but optimistic attitude that naturally exudes in his emotions adds a new color to this song.
After singing the song, Wen Tao looked at Galen with deep eyes, did not speak, did not move, which made Galen a little overwhelmed.
"Boss ......"
"Just call me Brother Wen in the future!"
As soon as Galen spoke, Wen Tao interrupted him, "Are you still a student?"
"No, I've been wandering in the capital for three years, and I've been singing in bars for the last two years!"
"Oh! That's not easy, there are original singers like you at the grassroots, and you can't lose to those big names who have been famous in the music industry for a long time!" Wen Tao gave a thumbs up.
"Hehe, Brother Wen has won the award, and I'm also making a little trouble!"
Galen's face turned red, he was very embarrassed, this is a song from another world, where is his original, it is simply used to steal it.
But no one knows about it anyway, and he can feel a little more at ease.
"Do you have any other originals?" Wen Tao asked again.
"Yes!" Galen nodded.
"Prepare more than three original songs, come over at seven o'clock in the evening, five hundred a game, pick up the tip yourself on the spot, settle the money for a week every Wednesday, and it can go up after the response is good, how about it?"
"Okay!" Galen nodded directly, "Will you come over tonight?"
"Tomorrow night, I'll open at eight o'clock tomorrow night, and you must be there at seven o'clock to rehearse the evening's performance beforehand. ”
Although Galen didn't figure out why he had to rehearse, he didn't ask much, because the price Wen Tao offered him was much higher than before.
And he also understands that it was this song "Once You" that gave him a chance, otherwise he would not have been able to get such a number, it seems that Wen Tao is a person who loves talents.
In this way, in a few days, you can buy a new computer and video with Chen Yingying every day.
After a few subway trips home, Cai Fei and Wang Qilin were not there, and it was estimated that the school had not yet ended.
Galen went straight into the room and called Chen Yingying.
"Hey!" After connecting, Chen Yingying responded in a low voice, "Aaron, wait a minute!"
After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was a sound of the door closing, and Chen Yingying over there raised her voice, "Galen, what are you doing?"
"I'm at home! Good news for you, I've changed bars!" Galen immediately shared his good news with Chen Yingying.
"Huh?
"Yes, I changed to a newly opened Qing bar, which is higher than the original price, and I went!"
"How much higher? three hundred and five, or two hundred and five?" Chen Yingying deliberately joked.
"You're two hundred and five, twice as many as two hundred and five!"
"Hmph, you dare to scold me, you are twice as many as two hundred and five......"
Chen Yingying was stunned for a moment, "What did you say? Give you five hundred?
"yes, the boss appreciates my talent!" said Galen smugly.
"Hmph, it can't be a female boss, right?"
"Why, it's a man! Wen Tao, do you know? One of the weekly champions of "Dream Starlight Show", he is the boss!" Galen explained.
"Oh...... He actually ran to open a bar?"
Chen Yingying felt incredible, "He won the weekly championship last week, but unfortunately he was PK by the kicking player before he could cover the heat." ”
"So powerful?
Galen can see that Wen Tao will not be a simple singer, otherwise he would not have so much money to open his own bar, who can PK him?
He had to pay attention to it, he couldn't mention this person's name in front of Wen Tao in the future.
"It seems that his name is Sun Youpeng, a singer from Baodao, who used to win a singing competition in Baodao with his younger brother as a group. They also released records, but then they flew solo for some unknown reason, and he ran to the capital alone to participate in the competition. ”
Chen Yingying is usually keen on gossip in the entertainment industry and knows these things very well.
But Galen is different, he basically doesn't pay much attention to these, only paying attention to which singer sings well and which music master is of high level.
After chatting for a while, Chen Yingying asked a little shyly, "Galen, did you miss me today?"
"I think about it every day, I think about it all the time, I don't want to do anything else!" said Galen.
"I hate it!" Chen Yingying was overjoyed, "Hmm...... I miss you too, when I wait for Golden Week, I'll go to the capital to see you!"
"Okay!" Hearing this, Galen was in good spirits, "That, Yingying, can our relationship be confirmed?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Chen Yingying said with a smile, "Okay, don't talk about it, waste your phone bill, wait for me to talk about anything!"
"Okay, okay, remember to call me when you come!"
"What's the hurry, it's more than a month before Golden Week?" Chen Yingying snickered, "Okay, this will really hang up, my mother is back!"
"Alright then, goodbye!"
Galen was a little unsatisfied, but he could only end the call.
