Chapter 95: Cheap Thrills

Yuan Yuan seems to have returned to her carefree childhood. At that time, she watched the TV all day with a confused face, and laughed silly from time to time.

The camera turned to the small entrance of the studio, and the next singer came in, Yuan Yuan was surprised and delighted, pointed to the TV with a little finger, and said, "She is Zhang Zhen, do you remember her?"

Fang Yan remembered. The two went on a date for the first time on the pedestrian street, and a girl imitated him on the street, playing and singing "Miss You Every Day", and a team filmed a video. She is Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen wore a long black skirt, but she was wearing a white T-shirt from the "Nameless Tavern", and the pattern was a small guitar drawn by Yuan Yuan. No wonder Yuan Yuan was so excited.

Zhang Zhen is a famous female singer under the Chinese Records, and sure enough, in the "Chinese Singer" competition, stars do not have any privileges, and they have to participate in the audition like ordinary people.

She seemed to know the judges and laughed. Nearby, a boy was holding an all-black acoustic guitar and was ready to accompany her. "Chinese Singer" only tests the singing skills of the contestants, and the accompaniment does not add points, but it is also allowed.

"Whew, it's so stressful, so nervous. Zhang Zhen patted his chest and showed a clear smile.

Ma Yue didn't like Zhang Zhen's style, rolled his eyes, and said, "I really know how to act......

Fang Yan asked, "Is she pretending?"

"Of course. She's been on TV 800 times, so why be nervous. ”

The boy next to him protected the bass string with his left hand, and the pick clicked and swept, and after two beats, Zhang Zhen immediately started singing, without wasting a second.

She sang "Cheap Thrills", and the original singer and original author was Australian female singer Sia. This is a new song released by Sia in 2016.

"Come on, come on, turn on the radio, I won't be late for Friday night......"

Sia is a very special girl who used to be in a band and sang niche music. After entering the pop music industry, she quickly exploded in popularity. Sia's music is a fusion of reggaeton, jazz, and electronic music, and is super creative and has a distinct personality.

Because she doesn't like to be watched, she never shows her face during performances. Her smoke voice is very tense, and her voice alone is enough to be remembered.

Fans in Huaxia like to call her "teeth cleaning".

"Cheap Thrills" tells the story of a girl who goes to a party and disdains money and luxuries, just wants to dance to the music, and wants "cheap pleasure". The song is confident and free-spirited, and the attitude is very distinct.

Zhang Zhen didn't make any adaptations, retaining the flavor of the original, but not so wild and indulgent, more simple, a little cute, and it sounds good.

"Baby, I don't need banknotes to enjoy the night. I don't need money, I just want to feel the beat......"

sang the chorus, Zhang Zhen's body swayed with the rhythm, very stylish. In less than 2 minutes, a song had been sung, she bowed slightly, smiled a little shyly, and did not speak again.

"She sings so well. Fang Yan said.

"What's so good? It's just good-looking. Ma Yue was very unimpressed. She has a high vision, and it is still easy to pick a thorn in Zhang Zhen.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Specialized. ”

Zhang Zhen's performance is professional. She had a good strength before her debut, and after joining the Chinese record, she has a distinct personal style (although it is a little fresh), and it is still easy to get a stage for an audition.

Fans always scold Chinese football and think that the national team is very bad and weak. However, the strongest fan amateur team can't play a substitute team for a second-tier club. It's not just that you can't kick, people chop melons and vegetables, and it's no problem to score 30 goals in the half, if you really play the game, not to mention technology and awareness, the physical fitness of the amateur team can't keep up at all.

Where is the boundary between amateur and professional? The simplest criterion for judging is that amateur is a hobby, and a professional is to rely on it to earn a living and support one's family.

The three judges were obviously also won over by her "Cheap Thrills", and they looked at each other a few times, but they didn't clap the button. The chubby judge said, "Congratulations on making the cut, I hope to hear your more wonderful singing." Other than that...... You are the first singer of "Chinese Singer" to pass the audition. ”

"Thank you, teacher, I am honored. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

At the end of the performance, Zhang Zhen should have left the stage, but she was still standing. The judges also felt that it seemed that they should talk a little more. Female judge Jiang Tong asked: "Zhang Zhen, is the T-shirt you are wearing made by a wizard?"

"Yes. I'm a fan of his. This T-shirt," Zhang Zhen said, looking down and smiling. "I bought it in the nameless tavern where he sang and was very comfortable to wear. ”

"Nameless tavern?"

Zhang Zhen smiled and said, "It's a small tavern, wizards come to sing at night, and their cocktails are super delicious." I've been there a few times......"

"Won't you be recognized by the fans?"

"Of course not. There, the wizard is the star. I am a native of Koto, and I am proud that there is such a tavern in our city. I think it will be a landmark of Koto's urban culture. ”

"What do you think of wizards?"

"I'm a fan of his. I also sang "I Miss You Every Day" on the pedestrian street to pay tribute to him. But...... It didn't sing as well as he did, and it wasn't released in the end. ”

"Oh......"

Zhang Zhen politely said goodbye to the judges and walked out of the studio, but this conversation had already been broadcast. Fang Yan and Yuan Yuan both had a great impression of Zhang Zhen.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Zhen made a big advertisement for the nameless tavern and T-shirt. Fang Yan asked Yuan Yuan, "Has she ever been to the tavern?"

"I don't know, so many people ...... every day"

"That's right. ”

The live broadcast time of "Chinese Singer" is from 8 am to 10 pm, up to 14 hours, and the 8 competition areas are constantly switching. All video materials will be synchronized to the partner video website and SS Music APP on the next day.

During the audition, "Chinese Singer" also did a series of related programs, highlight clips, interviews with contestants, music stories, interviews, games, and various tidbits...... These are all broadcast outside of the live broadcast, and they are simply crammed for 24 hours.

This summer, countless people are destined to stay at home and watch TV frantically 7 by 24. The next day, there was inspirational news on the Internet that the staff resigned resolutely to watch "Chinese Singer".

On Sunday night, Fang Yan and Yuan Yuan returned to Jiangdong and went to the nameless tavern to sing. In the bar street, more than half of the shops are equipped with TVs for customers to watch "Chinese Singer" together. It's like during the World Cup, when people get together to watch the game.

Lao Liu is a very principled person, and he resolutely does not pretend to be TV, and he does not watch it himself. However, the tavern's business was not affected.

Yuan Yuan and the Waste Wood Band all went back to school to prepare for the exam. Especially Yang Zhenyu, he took 2 unimportant courses and passed them successfully. He slept only 3 hours a day, but he was extremely excited.

Late at night, the bar street gradually quieted down, Feng Lu mopped the floor, washed the mop clean, hung it in the bathroom, and quietly left. Xiaomu let out a long yawn, wiped the table, and was ready to call it a day.

Fang Yan sat in front of the bar, opened a bottle of beer, and took a sip silently.

Xiao Mu washed the rag, put it on the small shelf, glanced at Fang Yan, and asked, "Will you lock the door for a while?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then I'll go back first. ”

"Good. ”

"Hey...... Don't get cranky and go home early. I can't think of that score. ”

"I know. ”

Kogi closes the door from the outside. Lao Liu went back upstairs to sleep early, and there was only a small lamp left in the tavern, shining alone on the bar. This is the last dry and bright place in the world.

"Fang Yan. ”

A voice came from the darkness. Qian Ning sat alone on the bench, she had just attended her graduation ceremony and had been hanging out in the tavern for the past few days. Fang Yan was startled and asked, "You haven't left yet?"

"I don't want to go. I can't sleep when I go back. ”

"You have air conditioning at home, how can you not sleep. Fang Yan remembered his steamer-like cabin.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Too naΓ―ve. Qian Ning didn't bother to answer, she also took a bottle of cold beer, sat next to Fang Yan, and raised her head to take a sip. Goo-goo-goo.

She felt that the distance between the two people was very close, and the elbow distance was less than 10 centimeters. She breathed softly, but she couldn't smell the smell on Fang Yan's body. She took another deep breath and could smell a little.

It's far, far, it's far, Channing thought.

In "Pulp Fiction", Mia, the daughter-in-law of the gang boss, said that the two of them don't talk together, which is called "awkward silence". But now, they are not embarrassed at all when they sit like this. They each thought about their own thoughts, drank slowly, and no one spoke.

The light shrouded the bar, and when you stretched out your hand, a black shadow fell on the wooden tabletop. Qian Ning looked at the slender shadow of his palm, constantly deforming, like a fun game.

She adjusted the angle, letting the shadow of her hand cover Fang Yan's hand, clinging to each other, grabbing, and slapping.

It's fun.

Channing held his chin in one hand, dangled in the air with the other, and the shadow flew on the table. Fang Yan reacted, turned his head and asked, "What are you playing?"

"Hey, hey. ”

Channing's innocent eyes flickered in the light, and she thought, Cheap Thrills, cheap pleasures.
