Chapter 30: MG Bar
MG Bar is very luxuriously decorated, the style is quite fashionable and avant-garde, and the style is very high.
Even the waiters here are all handsome men and beautiful women, and they have a good temperament, and many of them are college students.
The girl who accompanies the wine is of a higher grade, so take one out at random and be a peripheral in the entertainment industry, there is no problem at all.
Of course, the consumption here is also the most expensive bar street, even if the table downstairs is scattered, it doesn't cost 18,000 yuan, and it can't be fun at all.
Hailan asked the bartender to bring a few bottles of beer and a few plates of dried fruits, and then found a quiet place to chat with Li Dong.
"MG Bar is one of the best in business on this street, and the owner here is called Sister Ying, who is said to have a very good background, and even people on the road dare not fight the idea of MG Bar. Sister is just a little singer here, and she can't help you speak. With your strength, even if you sing at night here, it's no problem, but you don't have a reputation, and I'm afraid you won't even have the opportunity to audition when you come here to apply. Try your luck at one of the other bars in the city. โ
Li Dong smiled and said, "Sister, in fact, I came here today to apply for a job, and a friend introduced me." โ
Hailan suddenly became excited when she heard this.
"Great, if you apply well today, then we will be a field in the future. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to some of the singers here, as well as the maรฎtres and waiters here. By the way, our resident singers are managed by the lobby manager here, so don't let him get caught. โ
Upon hearing that Li Dong might be stationed at the MG Bar, Hailan was very happy.
In the end, it is a woman, and then Hailan told Li Dong all kinds of gossip about the MG bar.
"I've heard that the boss Sister Ying is gay, beautiful and rich, but I've never seen her boyfriend, and my girlfriend is a bunch of ......"
Li Dong frowned when he heard this, and said worriedly: "Sister...... Then you have to pay attention......"
"Huh...... It's okay, although Sister Ying may have different orientations, she is very good and righteous, and she will never force us to do anything, but takes good care of us girls, ha...... Sister Ying is not so polite to male singers, you have to be careful. โ
At this time, the patrons of the bar were not very popular, but the singers who sang in there came one after another.
These singers, both men and women, are dressed very fashionably, and the clothes they wear are all big names at a glance, and they all look very high.
Moreover, the acoustic guitars that people carry are also high-quality, and the cheapest ones are thousands of yuan a piece, which makes Li Dong feel envious.
High-end bars are different, and the singers' grades have suddenly risen a lot.
Hailan seemed to see Li Dong's thoughts, so she smiled and said, "Don't look at them as a dog, the little money they earn every month is spent on their skin." There is actually a reason why they are so beautiful and handsome. There are many rich tyrants and rich women who come to such bars to consume, and many singers here are kept by people. How about it, do you have an idea? Do you want my sister to introduce you to a rich sister? โ
Li Dong listened to it and began to pretend to be tender and cute, and lowered his head with a slightly red face.
"Haha...... Sister is joking with you, my brother is a pure boy at first glance, how can he let those people harm. โ
The more Hailan talked, the more Li Dong couldn't bear it, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, the time was just right, so he said goodbye to Hailan and went directly to the manager of the bar.
The lobby manager of the bar, who is in his thirties, is dressed quite well, and is chatting and laughing with several resident singers.
They saw Li Dong coming over and began to look him up and down.
Although Li Dong is no longer a stall, the sports hoodies, jeans and sneakers he wears now are also big road goods.
Even with his guitar, it may not be worth as much as a pair of pants from these singers.
It can't be helped, Kyoto Bar Street is such an atmosphere, and people who hang out in this kind of place are very careful about their clothes, and there are few unkempt ones.
Li Dong's clothes are in line with his status as a student, and they are decent, but they look a little out of place here.
Hearing Li Dong's explanation, the manager looked at Li Dong with a playful look in his eyes and said with a smile: "You are still in school, right? Where did you sing before?"
"I'm in my junior year of college and used to sing at a Qing bar for a month. โ
Several singers next to him listened to it and all laughed.
The manager nodded and said, "Sister Ying has explained your affairs, you go and prepare, and the performance will start at half past eight." โ
After he finished speaking, he turned around and stopped paying attention to Li Dong.
After Li Dong left, several singers also began to discuss.
"Brother Wang, where did that kid come from?"
The manager smiled and said, "I don't know, Mr. Hu specially called and said that Sister Ying personally arranged it." โ
"This kid dares to sing here before he leaves school. โ
"I see that he looks so fresh, it's not a little white face raised by a rich sister. โ
"Don't say it, that kid looks quite feminine. โ
"You said that he would go up in a while, would he sing out of tune, haha......"
A group of singers at MG Bar all have the intention of watching jokes.
In their opinion, a student who has not yet left the school can sing in some small bars, and sing in a large bar like MG, it is estimated that he can forget the words with nervousness.
The singer has just signed with the company, especially in the first few years of his debut, and there is a lot of instability in his work.
And in an awkward situation, living in poverty, coming to the bar to sing is a relatively important income.
In the current pop music scene, many famous first-line singers, including Ye Tong and other kings and queens, have had the experience of singing in bars.
In Kyoto's bar street, some large bars, in order to attract high-end customers, hire a large number of third- and fourth-tier singers to come and sing.
On some holidays, even second-tier singers are hired to perform at sky-high prices.
These investments seem to be a lot, but in fact, as long as you attract a high-end customer, those investments are nothing.
If any local tyrant is in a good mood, it will be hundreds of thousands of dollars to open a bottle of good wine, and if the customers of the bar reward their favorite singers, the bar will also take half of it.
Don't underestimate these rewards, the accumulation of time is not a small amount, occasionally which singer's song hits a certain local tyrant rich sister, and it is not for nothing that a lot of money is thrown.
So the more upscale the bar, the higher the requirements for the singers.
Often a good singer is a cash cow for the bar owner, and the bar owner will greatly improve the singer's treatment, for fear of being poached by other bars.
And the singer who walks out of the bar, once he becomes popular in the future, can also make the bar more famous.
At this time, a tall and beautiful woman walked into the MG Bar.
She was wearing a fashionable leopard print short skirt, showing off two slender stockings and beautiful legs, and her figure was extremely angry.
People are also very beautiful, with fair skin, and a big wave of golden curly hair, even in the bright lights and glass of light in the environment, it still instantly becomes the focus of the audience.
Everyone in the bar was attracted to this woman, even Li Dong took a few more looks, and secretly swallowed a few times.
Hailan next to her, seeing Li Dong's appearance, said in surprise: "How is it? Sister Ying is very beautiful......
Li Dong listened to Hailan's words, shook his head in disbelief and said, "This is Sister Ying, it's a pity ......"
Hailan covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Actually, there are many men who pursue Sister Ying, but Sister Ying is disdainful, so there are rumors that Sister Ying is gay." โ
Sister Ying waved her hand with a few regular customers, and then walked to the second floor.
The manager ran up and said respectfully after Sister Ying: "Sister Ying, the singer you explained yesterday is here, and I have arranged it." โ
Sister Ying stopped and glanced downstairs, because Li Dong was dressed and looked more unusual in the bar, her eyes quickly fixed on him.
Li Dong was preparing under the stage, and as soon as he took the guitar out of the case, he felt that someone was watching him.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Sister Ying on the second floor.
Sister Ying retracted her gaze, waved the manager next to her away, and turned around and walked around the various high-end private rooms on the second floor.
MG Bar's high-end private dining rooms are very sought-after and must be booked a week in advance.
In every high-end private room, it is not uncommon to spend tens of thousands of dollars casually in one night, or even 100,000 million.
So the first thing Sister Ying does when she comes to the bar every night is to sit in these high-end private rooms one by one and chat with some high-end regular customers.
Many people are coming for Sister Ying, and many of them are her suitors.
Although Sister Ying is unpretentious about these people, the more she is like this, the more willing the suitors are to come.
If Sister Ying is in a good mood one day, a drink with them and a few words can make those suitors excited for a few days.
At this time, nearly a third of the customers in the bar were already on board, and they were still coming in.
Waiters and girls selling alcohol are running back and forth in the bar, and customers who have just entered the bar are constantly greeting each other with some familiar people.
Anyway, it's very noisy in the bar now, and the singers who come on stage at this time are often ignored.
Although no one in the bar paid attention to Li Dong, many of the bar's resident singers stood around the stage with great interest, waiting to see Li Dong's jokes.
Only Hailan here had heard Li Dong sing, so she directly found a place under the stage and waited for Li Dong to sing with great anticipation.
Two girls who have a good relationship with Hailan on weekdays came to Hailan's side.
"Sister Lan, what's the matter, I fell in love with this kid......"
"Sister, if you have an idea, we will stun this kid in a while, and let you do enough trouble. โ
Hailan listened to the words of the two girls, and was so angry that she couldn't cry or laugh.
"What nonsense are you talking about, that's my brother I just recognized, and he sings very well. โ
The two girls obviously didn't believe it.
"A student who hasn't graduated yet, it's okay to sing in a small bar, and it's good if you don't pee your pants when you get here. โ
"yes, you didn't see them all waiting to see the jokes. โ
Hailan smiled and didn't say anything, she glanced at the resident singers around her, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.
