Chapter 61: Upgraded Nameless Tavern

On Monday evening, Fang Yan went to the bar street to sing. He was surprised to find that the Nameless Tavern had been upgraded.

The original tables and chairs were gone, and there were three rows of low benches in the room, similar to the long benches in the park, only shorter and narrower. There is an empty row behind the low benches, followed by four rows of benches, like a lecture hall, higher and higher back.

There are 7 rows of 10 people in each row, with a total of 70 seats.

As soon as you enter the door, there are chairs on both sides and wooden tables, which feels strange.

Lao Liu was very proud, he said that after Fang Yan came to sing for the first time, he asked the designer to re-plan and customize the furniture, and after waiting for a week, it was finally done. Now it can seat up to 90 people per performance, and it's more spacious.

With this layout, the Nameless Tavern is more like a super small theater, exuding a 19th-century atmosphere, quite flavorful.

"Well, what do you usually do?" Fang Yan asked.

"Usually? Guests can sit casually, there are so many seats. ”

It's past 6 p.m., and there are about 40 people at the bar, in groups of three or five, sitting on those chairs chatting and laughing, like a monkey mountain in a zoo.

Except for a few girls drinking beer, the rest each had a glass of "Wizard Solo", which had been sold like crazy, and in less than 3 days, there were already imitations in the bar street by the river.

"It's delicious, it's enjoyable!" A tourist-like guest took a sip, closed his eyes and enjoyed a moment, and shouted praise to the bar.

"Thank you!" Xiao Mu agreed, and made a triumphant gesture. He wears a big headphone and sways to the beat, like a black DJ, shaking the flask like crazy.

Lao Liu, as a black-hearted boss, finally priced the wizard Solo to 78 yuan, which is still very popular, and can sell 400 cups a day.

"Aren't you going to give Brother Xiaomu a salary increase?"

"Uh...... He didn't mention it. I'll give him 3,000 yuan a month, okay? Lao Liu discussed with Fang Yan.

"Done."

The two were chatting at the bar, and a tall and sturdy waiter passed by with a plate. He is the owner of "Perfect Wedding" named Wang Yu.

Wang Yu graduated from Jiangdong Film Academy majoring in drama and literature, and he was relatively poor, and he has never been able to write scripts and make movies. When he graduated, he and a few classmates opened a "perfect wedding" camera company, specializing in video shooting of weddings, and the business was very bleak. Several of his classmates withdrew, leaving him alone.

Wood has money, wood has a girlfriend, wood has hope.

That day, he was shopping with his friends, and he met Fang Yan and Yang Zhenyu singing on the street, so he took a video with his iPhone in one person and one position. Back home, Wang Yu stayed up for more than 30 hours and tossed countless versions before cutting it into a 28-minute short film.

The name of the video is terrible, it is called "Walking Street", which actually has a deep meaning.

One of Wang Yu's classmates works in a foreign agency and has contacts with major film festivals. He used "Walking Street" as a short documentary and wanted to be screened at some film festivals in Europe.

"Walking Street" was discovered by Galaxy Video, Xiaomu came to the door and bought the Internet copyright for 50,000 yuan, Wang Yu was shocked. This is the biggest amount of money he made after graduating.

Wang Yu suddenly had an idea. What if you stayed by Fang Yan's side, recorded his music, interviewed him, and finally made a documentary? Like in Finding the Little Sugar Man.

"Searching For Sugar Man," a documentary about legendary singer Rodriguez, who ran out of money halfway through the film and was shot on an iPhone, won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Wang Yu also wants to make such a film.

As a result, Wang Yu became a waiter at the Nameless Tavern, and together with Xiao Mu, lurked silently. He found that he liked this job very much, he was not tired, and he could see all kinds of beautiful girls.

The bar door opened again, and a man with long hair and a baseball cap walked in, with a guitar on his back. He walked straight to the bar, chatted politely with Fang Yan first, and then told Lao Liu that he wanted to sing in the nameless tavern.

Lao Liu smiled and said, "We don't recruit singers here." ”

The singer was not in a hurry, and said confidently: "Let me sing a song, and you will accept me." ”

"I don't need to."

The singer looked at Fang Yan again and said, "Can you help, I just want to sing with you." ”

Fang Yan was not easy to refuse, and nodded.

"Thanks, buddy!" The singer unzipped his piano bag, pulled out a shiny guitar, and walked briskly onto the stage, sat down, and tuned. Fang Yan helped turn on the speaker and microphone.

Lao Liu didn't stop him, he didn't get angry, he drank beer and asked Fang Yan: "Xiaoyan, you say, who is the boss of the two of us?" ”

Fang Yan smiled: "You find a few more people to sing, how lively it is." ”

Lao Liu was speechless and said: "It's not enough for me to serve you alone, and your group of friends, recruit singers again, I'm not tired to death?" ”

On stage, the man began to play and sing. He was very good-looking, but his voice was deep and strong, and he sang an old Tom Waits song, "Time."

Tom Waits's voice is very special, rough and rough, with a rough old man's cheap energy, very tasteful. The singer sings a little more mellowly, but captures the sense of loss of the song "Time". His guitar is simple and stable.

The guests listened quietly, immersed in the world of singing, and when the song ended, they all applauded enthusiastically. Fang Yan also applauded vigorously.

"How's it going, is it okay?" The singer stood his guitar against the wall, walked back to the bar, and asked Lao Liu and Fang Yan with a relaxed face.

Lao Liu smiled and said, "Friend, you better go somewhere else to sing, this place is not for you." ”

"What?"

Lao Liu stopped talking.

The singer was surprised, he thought that singing a song would be enough to impress the boss and Fang Yan. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked Fang Yan, "Wizard, what do you think of my singing?" ”

"Very good."

"So, how about I stay and sing? I don't want money, I just want to sing with you. ”

Fang Yan shook his head and said, "I listen to the boss, you are not suitable here." ”

"Can you tell me why?"

"You sing so well."

"Yes." Lao Liu smiled.

“……”

The singer was silent for a long time, as if he wanted to make noise, but he endured it. He was very aggrieved and a little angry, but he didn't say a word, slowly put the guitar on, and walked out with a gloomy face.

Behind the bar, Xiao Mu had already taken off his headphones and muttered on the side: "This person sings too oilily." ”

Lao Liu nodded: "He sang in the bar for too long." Hey, Xiaomu understands it. ”

"I don't understand, I don't understand."

The singer's technique is very good, but his singing voice is very smooth, and there is always a sense of frivolity that is ingenious, so Lao Liu, Xiao Mu, and Fang Yan don't have a high evaluation of him. Lao Liu was very happy when he saw that Fang Yan agreed with him, and whispered again: "Did you find out, I fired several clerks." ”

"Huh?"

"Opened it yesterday. I asked a friend to help me recruit someone. , among the people recruited last time, several of them were undercover agents of brokerage companies, and there was also a reporter. They were too insidious to think I couldn't see it. ”

“……”

Nameless Tavern upgraded. Xiao Mu shook the flask desperately, secretly proud. In fact, the deepest hidden undercover agent is me.
