Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Literary and Artistic Route
Today's bar is located next to Phoenix Mountain in Pucheng City, which should be quite good in terms of location, but the recent business situation is not ideal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some of the direct contradictions of the partners directly affected the operation of the bar, and the most important contradiction was that one of the partners, Su Shao, wanted to take the route of the literary bar...
Although bars that take this route abound in the land of China in 2016, and even many more niche bars are extremely popular, in Pucheng City in 2001, everyone's concept of bars is still that kind of hot dancing girls, dynamic music and powerful DJs...
There is no way, the market and the audience are not achieved overnight, and they need to be cultivated slowly...
Therefore, as soon as Su Shaogang put forward this suggestion, he was opposed by many other partners...
"I said, you're funny, you're not doing a bar like that... Let's keep it simple, just copy the model of other places to make money, what are you doing with so many things..."
Su Shao's partner, Li Jun, who is also his playmate since childhood, looked at him with great puzzlement.
However, although he scoffed at Su Shao's suggestion, Li Jun understood Su Shao's thoughts, after all, they had formed a band in high school, called Kala, mainly singing British rock, which was also an unconventional existence in Pucheng at that time.
Li Jun, Su Shao, and a group of other friends have to go to the Dongzhen Reservoir on the outskirts of Pucheng City every week to rehearse, which is relatively quiet and not very noisy, but it is easy to blow up the fish in the reservoir...
Therefore, it is not necessarily true to say that Li Jun does not understand Su Shao's thoughts at all, but in his opinion, hobbies are hobbies, and business is business, and the facts have ruthlessly proved that it is not feasible to run an original literary bar in a small place like Pucheng...
Su Shao took a dry cup of Xuejin in one gulp, and his expression was distorted. The literary and artistic dream in his heart has not been completely shattered. After graduating from university, he also went to the capital to wander around and became a member of the mighty Jingpiao family. Later, because the five-year contract with his parents expired, he didn't get out of the capital after all, and he still returned to Pucheng City in disgrace to take over the family's mahogany factory business.
"I said Su Shao, we are no longer just graduates, why are you still so naïve, let alone Pucheng, in my opinion, even if Xiacheng wants to engage in some original literary and artistic bar, it is the same two words, no drama!"
Zhan Shouxin, the fat man sitting on the side, chimed in on the leg of lamb fiercely, and echoed:
"That's it, Su Shao, don't be useless all day long, isn't there a girl bubble recently, I want to vent when I am suffocated, it's okay, just wait for the brother to take you to the big sword to vent..."
Su Shao glanced at Zhan Shouxin angrily:
"How far and how far to roll..."
Zhan Shouxin and Li Jun are both members of the Kala band, and it would be wrong to say that they have no pursuit of literature and art at all. But the twists and turns of life have made them gradually become realistic, no longer chasing ethereal things, but turning to timely fun.
Li Jun looked at today's Pucheng Daily while drinking Xuejin, and the front page reported the news that Zheng Long's novel was selling well in Wanwan...
"Yo, we still have this person in Pucheng..."
Li Jun had an expression of disbelief...
"Look at what you said, we are outstanding people in Pucheng, like the one in front of you is..."
Su Shao looked at Zhan Shouxin, who was teasing him, with white eyes, and didn't speak, just eating peanuts on a plate alone.
One after another, and one after another.
"Su Shao, let's do it, why don't our brothers raise money and hold an original song contest for you, so that you can see the creative strength of Pucheng, and you will know what to do..."
Li Jun looked at Su Shao with a smile and poured another glass of wine.
"Well... It's okay, let me just sober up a little bit..."
Li Jun and Zhan Shouxin smiled and said nothing, this Su Shao is really the master who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back...
"However, I don't think it's realistic to hold an original song contest, after all, Pucheng is a small place, there are few people who can sing, and the talents have all gone to the capital and the sea market, and the worst ones have to go to Xiacheng, I think it is better to hold a lyrics contest, so that the threshold is much lower, and everyone's enthusiasm for participation will be much higher..."
Zhan Shouxin looked at the sullen Su Shao and said cautiously...
"Well, that's it."
Su Shao said categorically.
Seriously, even he himself has given up the idea of taking the literary route in his heart, but now, it is better to give it a last fight, maybe there will be some unborn geniuses in Pucheng...
Of course, after positioning the contest as a lyrics contest, the range of people who could participate suddenly expanded a lot. Li Jun used his connections to work in a TV station to easily get TV commercials, and the sponsorship fee was waived. Zhan Shouxin contacted the only few professional bands in Pucheng and asked them to review the manuscript, and finally asked them to compose the lyrics and put them in the recording studio to record... These have become a set of processes in big cities, and they are still very new in Pucheng in 2001, after all, it does not have its own complete record industry.
Of course, you have to choose a propaganda agency. Although Pucheng TV promised Li Jun to broadcast advertisements, free publicity is absolutely not allowed. Zhan Shouxin and Li Jun then contacted the Pucheng Radio Station and gave them a few thousand yuan, and the radio reluctantly agreed to give one hour a day, a total of half a month of publicity time, and also matched a radio station with the most unpopular host Fat Guy Wu as the DJ of the show, responsible for the whole program.
Fat guy Wu has always belonged to the type of eating and waiting for death on the radio, except for when he first graduated from college, he Allah held some car programs, and then he was thrown into the midnight program and was beaten into the cold palace for a long time.
The reason is that although the level of this fat guy Wu is not much worse, he is very good at being a man, and he never talks to the leader or goes to play cards with his colleagues, blows water, etc., and his popularity in the unit can be said to be very poor...
When Li Jun and Zhan Shouxin heard that the radio station had assigned them such a bad DJ and gave them another hour late at night, they were immediately disheartened and did not have much confidence in this competition. Fortunately, they were originally playing tickets, mainly because they wanted Su Shao to stop the precipice, so it's a good thing that the result of the game is a little worse...
After Zhan Shouxin met the fat guy Wu, he said to Li Jun as soon as he walked out of the radio:
"Brother Jun, this time we can't be regarded as having less pit Su, let's do our best!"
Li Jun nodded fiercely and said, "That's not it, I tried my best, but the radio station sent such a guy to us, and it was clear that I wasn't optimistic about this event..."
"Isn't it..."
