Chapter 61 [Karaoke]
Six o'clock in the evening is the time for dinner.
Nandu "Liufuju Roast Duck Restaurant", the lights are brilliant and the business is prosperous.
According to the agreement with Sun Hongmei, Chen Tianlang and his sister Chen Hong came to the private room "Fugui Hall" booked in Liufuju early in the morning.
Nirvana is one of the most famous private rooms in Lukfook Ju, and for the simple reason that it has the hotel's only karaoke equipment.
It is said that in the late eighties of the 20th century, song and dance halls appeared in China. Karaoke broke into China relatively late, but it has grown rapidly. In 1988, a song and dance hall appeared in the capital. At that time, some hotels, restaurants, and restaurants were open for catering during the day, and at night, professional art group bands, sound groups, and singers were invited to sing for the guests. The following year, karaoke halls appeared in Beijing, and in 1990 there were 100 and in 1991 there were 200......
The boss of Liufuju is surnamed Song, who has stayed in the capital before, and is said to be the chef of the kitchen of the big hotel, and the best dish is "Yu cuisine", but the Yu cuisine in the capital can not be on the table, and the most expensive thing there is not Sichuan cuisine, or Cantonese cuisine, or the famous roast duck in Beijing, so the Song boss made up his mind to re-bring the art investment teacher to learn to make roast duck in the stove, and when he returned from school, he opened this "Liufuju Roast Duck Restaurant" in Nandu.
That's not all, although this Boss Song is a cook, he has the mind of a businessman, so he copied the high-end gadgets in the capital and spent a lot of money to turn a private room into a karaoke box. Unexpectedly, it was this private room that instantly became popular in Nandu, basically many rich people came to book this room directly, and sometimes they would rather line up if they couldn't book it.
At this moment, Chen Hong was sitting in this super fashionable private room, looking a little uneasy.
Looking around, the walls look like those hair salons, all of which are big posters of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, but most of them are beautiful stars. There are Ye Qianwen and Xu Xiaofeng who Chen Hong knows, and there are many people that Chen Hong doesn't know, with heavy makeup, big earrings, crimson lips, and bewitching postures.
Look at the big table in the middle, it's so magnificent, at least a dozen people can sit. There is also a set of audio equipment called I don't know what to call, how advanced it looks.
couldn't help but be curious, Chen Hong got up from her seat, in order to go to the banquet tonight, but also to give her younger brother a long face, so she put out her newly cut clothes, women's beveled suit, with black good trousers, making her Miaoman's figure look more outstanding.
Looking at the old lady's dress, Chen Tianlang couldn't help but be surprised, thinking about whether he would do a clothing business when he had money in the future, let the old lady be a designer, tell some popular styles in his previous life, let her design slowly, and finally invest in a factory to directly produce these fashionable styles......
Just when Chen Tianlang was thinking nonsense, he heard the elder sister Chen Hong say: "Little brother, look, what kind of thing is this, and you still have a microphone!"
Seeing Chen Hong holding the microphone and touching the audio equipment with his hand, Chen Tianlang smiled and said: "This is called karaoke, which is used for singing." β
"How do you know?" Chen Hong was a little surprised, and turned his head to ask him.
"Regardless of how I know, sing or not, I'll help you tune it out. Chen Tianlang said, got up and went to fiddle with those "old antiques".
The antique set is actually very simple, a "Changhong" 17-inch color TV, an RB "KENWOOD" brand karaoke player similar to a video recorder, two "Sony" wooden speakers, and two microphones connected to the player.
Probably due to outdated technology, these devices look bulky and lack a refined beauty.
Chen Tianlang looked at these "old antiques", and began to think about the "KTV" that can make money in the future.
Compared with this karaoke, KTV is more casual and advanced, but if you forcibly introduce this concept, you may still hit the street when you open a few KTVs in the future. The reason is very simple, KTV plays the word TV, what is TV, it is film and television, and it is video conversion. But now many big cities have not even popularized color TVs,What big screen songs,Film and television switching,These functions are even more not,In this way,You are still KTV fartγ
Well, let's take our time. Thinking of this, Chen Tianlang shook his head in his heart.
Seeing that he was really doing it, Chen Hong hurriedly stopped: "Don't, I don't sing." Don't move, what can you do if you break someone's things?"
Chen Tianlang smiled: "It's okay, it can't be broken." β
I thought it was quite simple, but in fact, this kind of singing antique is much more complicated than Chen Tianlang imagined. In the past, the singing was all ordered by the computer, and this old-fashioned style had to be played on a loop on a video tape, and if you wanted to sing any song, you had to adjust the songs on the tape one by one in order.
Chen Tianlang knew that his sister liked Andy Lau, so he pressed the "next song" button on it and jumped to Andy Lau's album "If You Are My Legend".
The speaker turned on, Andy's unique bass floated out of it: "Is there a long time, there are too many romantic legends, who can write one for me, if there is love in the sky, I am only worried that I can't wait for ......"
Not to mention, this ancient tape doesn't sound clear enough, but it has a different flavor.
Chen Hong listened to the song in a fascination, and it wasn't until Chen Tianlang stuffed the microphone into her hand that she said: "I can only listen to this song, not sing it...... Besides, the man sings well. β
Chen Tianlang smiled and said, "Then I'll say a few words." So he held the microphone in one hand, put the other hand in his pocket, and sang along with the MTV lyrics on the TV screen in style: "There is no excuse for love, there is no guilt, everything you have will always be mine, if you are my legend, let him live forever, and the person who chases his dream is waiting for you......"
The microphone singing effect of this era is really frustrating, rustling constantly, and the sound effect is not surround sound, just a simple amplifier, so Chen Tianlang's singing effect is not very good, but even so, Chen Hong was impressed by him, and said that he didn't expect his brother to have such a talent, just this singing posture, cool and handsome, very able to deceive girls.
Chen Hong had just praised his younger brother in his heart, and Chen Tianlang suddenly shouted, "Sister, I'll give you another rock 'n' roll!"
Chen Hong was amused by his younger brother's appearance, shrugged his shoulders, and laughed non-stop.
Chen Tianlang peeked at her, and saw that she was happy, and the scope of deliberate death was even greater, and the appearance of "rock" was simply a dance of gods and demons.
Chen Hong is not stupid, looking at his younger brother like this, he knew in his heart that Chen Tianlang was doing this to relax himself and stop being nervous, so he felt a burst of warmth in his heart, like basking in the sun, warm.
Singing and dancing along with the song, Chen Tianlang saw that the old lady seemed to relax a lot, and then slowly ended this "intriguing" divine comedy. Just as he was about to stuff the microphone into the old lady, tune the new song, and let her show off her skills, there was a sudden noise outside the room---
"Xiao Liu, this is your mistake, didn't I tell you three days ago, I have something to invite friends to dinner tonight, and ask you to keep this 'rich hall' for me, why didn't you keep it?"
"No, Director Li, it's not that I didn't leave it for you, and you didn't make it clear at the time...... You know, this room is in high demand, so make a deposit in advance. β
"What, do you mean that I didn't give you a deposit? I still have to pay a deposit based on my relationship with your Boss Song? Xiao Liu, you make me angry too much. β
"No, don't get me wrong! A female voice hurriedly explained.
"What a misunderstanding, not a misunderstanding! Now I'm going to see who booked this private room!"
"Don't, Director Li, you can't break in, there are guests!"
It's a pity that it's too late to stop, and I saw the door of the private room "clang" open, and then I saw seven or eight people break in.
