Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Decline of Rock 'n' Roll
In the eyes of many people who have never been to the imperial capital, or other big cities. People who live in the imperial capital and big cities must live very happily. But when you really integrate into the city, you can experience how much pressure there is to survive in these cities.
Choosing to come to the bar for a pastime is also a way for some people to relieve stress. Most of the people who love to be lively will go to the lively DJ bar. If you like to be quiet and have a few drinks with three or five friends, you will choose a music bar.
Compared to the noisy DJ dynamic bar, most music bars don't seem too noisy. In addition, most of the guests who come to the music bar to consume pay more attention to influence and taste.
If you are willing to spend a little more, you can choose a private room with a separate space to spend. If you want to feel the hustle and bustle, choose the lobby consumption. But no matter where you spend your money, there aren't many people who eat and drink loudly at the music bar.
If it really affects the consumption of other guests, the bar will also come forward to discourage it as soon as possible. If you ignore it, the bar may take the action of chasing people. After all, the owner who can open a bar here has some background.
As a regular customer who has been to this bar twice, Liu Wenxin introduced some characteristics of this music bar to Lu Wenbin. From the information provided by Liu Wenxin, Lu Wenbin also knew that this bar had been open for a long time.
In addition, to Lu Wenbin's surprise, this bar is also a place where many music company scouts like to come for fun. There are even many underground singers who were discovered by talent scouts in this bar and successfully stepped into the entertainment industry.
While telling these stories, Liu Wenxin also smiled and said: "Old Five, don't you really consider becoming a singer?" Your musical talent is very high, and it's really a pity not to be a singer. Could it be that you really plan to mess around like this? ”
In the face of Liu Wenxin's inquiry, Lu Wenbin still shook his head and said: "Being talented does not mean that you have to be a singer." What's more, we have studied screenwriting for four years, so we can't just give up, right? Then these four years are not in vain!
Maybe it's a difficult path, but you have to try it, right? Maybe it's unlikely to succeed, but what if it does? Of course, another reason why I don't want to be a singer is that I don't feel comfortable with the life of a star.
Don't look at those celebrities on stage, but if you have a private meal and go shopping, you may be stared at. The slightest mistake could lead to accusations. When this kind of star, it's too tiring to live! ”
'Alas! It's a pity! Originally, I pulled you over today, but I also wanted you to try again. This music bar gives guests an hour of performance time every day. You don't need to spend money, as long as you dare to sing on stage.
It's just a song that is sung on stage, and it must be original. I heard that the person who made this rule was also the owner of the bar. Perhaps knowing that there are many scouts who come to the bar every day, the bar owner gives some young people who love music a platform to show themselves.
Of course, there are many young underground singers who hold this idea every day, but there are still a few who succeed. For some young singers, they are willing to come here and try it out. As you just said, what if it succeeds! ’
Listening to Liu Wenxin's story, Lu Wenbin felt that this bar owner was actually very smart. Providing an hour-long performance opportunity attracts both young musicians who are engaged in original work and entertainment scouts who need musical talent.
As long as this rule is implemented, there will always be young singers who have successfully been scouted. And the Emperor Night Bar, which provides this platform to let these young singers change their fate, invisibly makes young singers owe a favor.
When these young singers have a chance to become famous, a little bit of the experience of being discovered will also make more people remember the name of this bar invisibly. If this goes on like this, it's hard for the bar not to be famous!
Lu Wenbin, who was drinking and chatting, also looked at the layout of the bar again and found that those boxes had opened a window facing the stage. It's just that this kind of window can only let the people inside see the outside, but the people outside can't see the inside.
The bar girl who enters and exits the box from time to time with wine looks obviously more than the lobby area. If it is divided by rich and poor, then the box area is undoubtedly the rich area, and the hall is patronized by poor people like Lu Wenbin.
When Lu Wenbin looked at the bar, there was also a notice from the bar that the performance had started. Looking at the staff who brought the instruments to the stage, many of the guests who have been to the bar know that it is time to start listening to the songs and watching the performances.
It's just that as the performance began, Lu Wenbin, who was sitting in the hall area, looked at the bar singers singing on the stage, and his singing skills didn't seem to be very good. And most of these bar singers are covers of other people's classic songs.
Compared to another time and space, singers cover the famous songs of other singers, most of them seem very casual. In this time and space, even if you cover other people's songs in this kind of bar, you need to get the corresponding authorization.
The only song that doesn't need to be licensed is when the copyright owner of the song dies. Therefore, even if the two title songs sung by Xiao Yiyi are very popular at the moment, it is still difficult to hear them in this kind of music bar.
Judging from the style of songs sung by bar singers, most of them are folk songs and lyrical songs. In his previous life, Lu Wenbin, who listened to rock and roll a lot in music bars, naturally felt a little curious.
asked: "Third child, don't the singers in this bar sing rock 'n' roll?" ”
'Sing! However, now rock singers are no longer popular, and many people are tired of listening to those songs over and over again. And singing rock in such a bar will make the guests feel a little noisy! ’
Like the time and space in the previous life, rock music is also a musical style imported from abroad and from China. The rock music of the Yanhuang Empire in the early years did attract a large number of fans.
Unfortunately, many people have misconceptions about rock music, thinking that this kind of music is easy for people to learn badly. Another reason is the lack of truly classic rock songs.
At present, most of the rock singers in the Yanhuang Empire write some songs that moan and attack reality without disease. Although there are still some young people who love it, the mainstream music market, rock music is really in decline.
Looking at Lu Wenbin, who was stuck in memories and contemplation, Hu Feipeng, who was sitting on the side, also said in a timely manner: "Old Five, do you like rock music?" However, looking at your current image, it does have a bit of a rock singer's style! ”
Just when the two of them were laughing, Lu Wenbin looked a little lonely and said: "Rock and roll is not dead, it just withers!" At present, the yellow music circle seems to be full of flowers. But folk and rock music are constantly disappearing.
In fact, compared to the love songs and lyrical songs that are all over the street now, I personally prefer folk songs with connotation, and I also like passionate rock. Never mind! Don't say that, drink! ”
Although they didn't understand why Lu Wenbin's expression looked a little lonely, both of them agreed with Lu Wenbin's words. Some people say that the record market is becoming more and more difficult to do today, and even talented singers are difficult to gain recognition as easily as they did in the early years.
In Lu Wenbin's view, the reason for such an environment is probably the lack of good songs that can really move people's hearts. Only songs that can really inquire about people's hearts can truly gain the recognition of fans.
At present, some music companies, when selecting singers, gradually ignore the importance of singing skills, and most of them rank appearance first. After such singers and groups are launched on the market, they often sell their appearance rather than music.
Just as the bar singer ended, the bar DJ began to announce that it was time for the original singer to perform. It didn't take long for two young original singers to appear in the stage area and sing their own songs.
From the perspective of a music creator, Lu Wenbin feels that the lyrics of the songs sung by these two young singers sound good. But the melody and arrangement seem to be a little unsatisfactory.
But even so, many guests who listened to the singing still gave warm applause. As for the two young original singers on stage, whether they can be recognized by virtue of this opportunity to sing on stage, it depends on their luck!
It's just that in Lu Wenbin's opinion, even if the two have a certain creative talent, their singing skills are not very good. This kind of half-bucket of water, if you want to get the approval of those discerning scouts, I'm afraid it's not easy!
As the two original singers stepped off the stage, Hu Feipeng, who applauded, did not forget to say: "Dare to go on stage at this level, this courage is indeed worth encouraging." Well, not an hour, isn't there anyone next? ”
Listening to the bar DJ continue to invite guests to the stage on the radio, Hu Feipeng was somewhat surprised. After all, in an hour's performance time, the two singers sang for a total of about ten minutes. Is it difficult to be cold in the future?
On the contrary, Liu Wenxin smiled and said: "This situation is normal! It's not a special day, how can there be so many original musicians on stage every day? What's more, not everyone knows how to create and sing! ”
Liu Wenxin, who said these words, kept looking at Lu Wenbin. In Liu Wenxin's opinion, Lu Wenbin has such a high musical talent, it is a pity that he is not a singer. Therefore, he still hopes that Lu Wenbin can really try his career as a singer!
