Chapter 495: I'm the Original Singer!
At this time, the hall is basically full, and there is a lack of entertainment venues in this era, especially the nightlife is still in a blank state, so as long as you have it, no matter how high or low, it will be full. ◎∑. Those who get rich first, as long as they can spend their money and make their lives different from others, they don't care whether they are worth it or not. There is a wine list on the table, a bottle of Rémy Martin XO, the asking price is more than 800, VXOP also has more than 600, the canned Budweiser beer is ten yuan a listen, Coke is also this price, the only thing that is not is the minimum consumption limit, because those who dare to come to this kind of place to linger, there will be no care about the dozens of hundreds of people, and they can't ask for something that sounds very bad.
Not only is it troublesome to order songs, but it is also troublesome to sing, and there are not many customers who really dare to sing on stage by themselves, and most of them spend money to order songs for those amateur singers who are stationed in the store to sing to themselves. In fact, singing well and ugly is secondary, what everyone wants is the paragraph that the singer said before singing: I will present you with a xxxx, this song was ordered by Mr. X at table X......
And so on, every singer will say the guests who order the song before singing, so that the guests will have more face, you see, buddy is rich, you can come out and order songs for others to sing, you listen in vain, I am better than you!
But here's the problem, everyone wants to sing the song they order first, so what should I do? The method is very straightforward and vulgar, depending on who gives the tip more, you order a song and give 10 yuan, right? I'll give 20! Let my song sing first! What? You just give 20 and you want to sing first? I'll give 30...... I'll give a hundred! The owner of the cabaret likes such guests, and if he catches up with a few more competitors in one night, he will almost earn a month's rent.
Of course. This kind of competition is generally not on the surface, and everyone does not pull each other's throats to fight for wealth. That's so much facelessness, even if it's a tyrant, you have to have face. This struggle is private. You spend fifty, but the song you ordered first didn't play, and the song you ordered behind the table next to you played, it means that he spent more than you, so you can continue to add money, or just wait patiently. Of course, there is another way, which is to go directly to the tuning room and secretly stuff money for the tuner. Since the money for ordering songs goes to the song hall, the tuner can't get much of it, so he will definitely be happy to play it for you first.
This method is not everyone can figure out, this is the experience of people who often linger in these places, Hong Tao worked as a tuner in his last life, and also took over the work of the song hall for a few days, although he did not catch up with this particularly lucrative era, I heard that I have heard of it.
Now Hong Tao has encountered this problem, and the six beers are almost gone. The song he ordered was still far away. Today's protagonists are the three stages in the middle of the hall, and almost two-thirds of the songs are ordered by them, which is the most lively on their side, with a large number of men and women. Talking and laughing, noisy and noisy, but the lights in the hall were very dim, and Hong Tao couldn't see what they looked like.
"Alas. Miss, come on...... We've been ordering songs for almost an hour. Why haven't you put it on yet?" Tan Jing couldn't wait, and waved her hand to call a waiter to question.
"Oh. I'll show you, maybe the guests order too many songs......" It's still the waitress just now, and her attitude is also very good.
"Wait...... Give me the money you just got back...... You and the tuner tip to get our song a little earlier. Hong Tao stopped the waitress, and then asked Tan Jing for the ninety yuan he had just found, picked up a song list, wrote the song name and station number again, and stuffed it into the waiter's hand.
"Thank you, wait a minute, I'll go ......" This time, the smile on the waiter's face was still a smile, but the level of laughter was deeper, and the pace under his feet was faster.
As the saying goes, no coincidence makes a book! The figure of the waiter has not disappeared, and a male singer came up on the small stage, and he is about to sing the song that is always broken up on a rainy day, but the person who orders the song is still the guest of the third station, that is, one of the three most lively tables.
"Yes, someone sings first, don't go up too, it's not easy for other singers to eat, in case I sing better than him, it won't be a smashing of people's jobs." Hong Tao didn't mean to compete with these singers at all, this wasn't a panic, so he wrote another song list and planned to send it to the tuner to change the song in person.
"No, I just want to listen to this, you have to sing well, this is what I paid for!" Tan Jing drank a lot of beer, and he was a little energetic, so he pulled Hong Tao and didn't let him change it.
"That's it, what you said is very good, if you really sing it, no one may sing it well, I think this singer is good!" Han Xue also coaxed along.
Since Tan Jing and Han Xue both want to hear it, then Hong Tao will be as good as a stream, as for who's job or anything like that, it's just a matter of saying that, this is not the Singer Grand Prix, if you win, he will lose.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's a little heavy song, as long as the tuner is a little more serious and splits the songs, it's not so awkward to have a gap between one or two. It's a pity that the decoration here is first-class and the equipment is good, but the tuner is not so serious and responsible in his work, maybe unintentionally, maybe it is intentional, maybe it is intentional, the singer has just finished singing, and the playlist of the next song has been sent to him.
"Oh, what a coincidence, the next song is always a rainy day, but this time it was sung by the guests at table 11. This is the first song we heard sung by the guests today, let's give some applause, and I hope you can come on stage more often to sing in person!" In this year, there are not so many literary and artistic young people who drift north, and most of these singers are students of various literary and art academies in the capital or actors of some small literary and artistic groups. They can be regarded as going to the sea, and they have their share of these song fees, and they can earn one hundred and eighty in one night, and they can top the salary of ordinary people for a month after three or two days.
Hong Tao strode onto the small stage in a sparse applause, he was not stunned on the occasion of tens of thousands of people, there were only thirty or fifty audiences here, and he had nothing to do with stage fright. Picked up the microphone, then opened a napkin provided by the restaurant, covered it, and raised his hand to the small window of the mixing room on the left, signaling that it was time to start.
The reason why the napkin is covered in the microphone is a professional habit of Hong Tao. Since he had done sound installation engineering in his previous life, he was in contact with many song halls and nightclubs. Whenever a set of lighting and sound equipment is installed, the company responsible for the installation has to send someone to watch the song hall for a month or two, while handing over the equipment to the new tuner, and at the same time responsible for debugging the new equipment, which can be regarded as a kind of after-sales service.
At the beginning, Hong Tao's small company was done by him and a sound engineer he knew when he went to the cave, and the business card was printed very bluffingly, and the brochure was very rich, in fact, there were only two of them in the whole company. That buddy has a family and a business, so this after-sales service all falls on Hong Tao's head. Who let us be alone, whether it's a song hall or a nightclub, it's 100% open after ** o'clock, and it doesn't close until midnight, which is the most suitable for a single like him.
So what does this have to do with putting a napkin on the microphone? It has a lot to do with it! If you have worked in an industry, you will know some details that outsiders do not pay attention to or do not pay attention to, such as the hygiene of the microphone. In the beginning, there were no private rooms, only a hall, and two microphones were provided for all guests to use. Most of these guests had just eaten and drunk, and even had vegetable leaves and minced meat in their mouths, and they were drunk in a daze.
As soon as a person drinks too much, his sense of hearing, sight, and smell all decreases, and others are deafening when he listens to it, but he himself is not satisfied with listening to it, so he will put his mouth on the microphone and sing. Forget about the foaming stars, Hong Tao has even seen the whole rice grain embedded in the wire net of the microphone, since whereafter, he has prepared a microphone by himself, as long as he sings by himself, he will use his own. If you can't do it, just find a napkin and sing it on the microphone, otherwise you will not touch that thing, it will be disgusting.
I'm sorry, it's not that there were no ones in that era, but there were very few in China, and everyone didn't care much about this.
Seriously, if you want to talk about the voice, Hong Tao is indeed not as good as that singer, people are loud and loud, stable alto, and rich bass, Hong Tao is a poignant high note, a circle of alto, and a hoarse bass. But this singing is not only compared to the voice, but also has an emotional investment or understanding of the song, in this regard, the young singer is not as good as Hong Tao. Let's not talk about whether he is emotionally invested in this song, at his age and experience, he can't understand many things in the song.
The most important point is the preconceived question, this song was originally sung by Hong Tao first, and it is widely circulated. The first time everyone heard it was Hong Tao's voice and tone, if you like this song, you will naturally agree with Hong Tao's voice, and if someone sings it in the future, you will consciously or unconsciously immediately remember Hong Tao's original song, and then it will be natural to stand on Hong Tao's side to find fault with the latecomers. As long as you want to pick, there is nothing that you can't pick, so you will always feel that the imitator is not as good as the original singer, which is a psychological effect, and everyone is like this.
As soon as Hong Tao finished singing the main song, the people in the hall began to applaud, especially Tan Jing and Han Xue were the most enthusiastic, and they had already reached Cheng dù who was dancing and cheering, which made Hong Tao enjoy it very much, and it was more enjoyable than listening to the applause of tens of thousands of people when he held a concert, so he entered the state again, and waved at every table below, as if he was a singer.
