Chapter 6 Joanna's Western Bar

We have a lot of dreams when we are teenagers, such as fantasizing that the most beautiful girl in school will one day suddenly like herself from the vast sea of people, fantasizing that one day we will get all the test questions in the exam room that we have seen the day before when we were reviewing, and fantasizing that one day we will be a majestic king on the playground and control the whole game.

Another example is now, in the face of a teacher who wants to make things difficult for you, say lightly that you can ask whatever you want, I will ask you, and then actually prove yourself.

Ye Gui suddenly thought that the words he said should have fulfilled a dream that he had once dreamed of when he was young.

Gong En Dian just felt that he was not good enough when he heard Ye Gui say this, even the first-ranked student in this parallel class did not have the strength to say such a thing, let alone Ye Gui.

"Since you know all the words, you can translate this paragraph." Gong Grace didn't even bother to find a few words specifically for Ye Gui to spell, since he said that he had memorized it, then it should be no problem to translate this long and difficult sentence now.

Ye Gui looked at the English paragraph on the test paper, there were two words that were beyond the vocabulary of high school students, but there was no problem for him, so he translated them fluently.

"Huh?" There was a look of surprise in Gong Endian's eyes, just translating the two new words in that paragraph in English would not surprise her, but the sentences translated by Ye at this time were very authentic, which was unexpected, you must know that even the best students in the class may not be able to translate such authentic sentences.

"That's... What about this sentence? Ye Gui's previous translation made Gong Endian decide to make it more difficult, she picked up another set of test papers, and then found a passage with a more complex structure from it.

Ye Gui looked at it, fluently translated the passage pointed out by Gong Endian, and explained several complex word usages in this paragraph, and then Ye Gui did not stop, he continued to translate the subsequent paragraphs, Ye Gui seemed to ignore the English structure and various rare words in it and read the whole reading like Chinese.

At this time, Ye Gui's tablemate Jing Xiandong looked at Ye Gui in surprise, thinking to himself that this kid had memorized the entire translation of the reading, what a cow.

What made Jing Xiandong even more admired was Ye Gui then continued in English that there are a few words in this article, which can be replaced by a few other words, which will make the article more authentic.

"Do you know how to use the word?" Gong Endian saw that Ye Gui said a few very difficult words, which were not at all something that an ordinary student in a parallel class could say during a random spot check, she was very surprised for a while, and she didn't even notice that Ye Gui and she were already using English to converse.

"Yes." In fact, the less authentic usage in high school reading is not because the level of the questioner is not enough, but because they are limited by high school vocabulary when they write the question, but Ye Gui has seen too many more authentic uses of these words in later studies, so he said the authentic usage of several words.

Gong Endian was a little silent when she heard this, if she was just a little surprised Ye Gui's recent attitude towards learning English, then now she is really very surprised, these authentic usages can not be said after reciting in a short time.

What surprised her even more was that she found that she didn't know when Ye Gui's spoken language had become very standard, and he spoke all kinds of pronunciation plosives very well, and even when explaining the use of words, there was no jam.

Gong Endian looked at Ye Gui curiously, judging from Ye Gui's performance in this meeting, compared with the end of the last semester, Ye Gui's English level has improved greatly, and only from the perspective of speaking, Ye Gui's level even exceeds that of several other good students in the class.

"Very well, Ye Gui."

Gong Endian had a hint of encouragement in her tone, there is no teacher who doesn't like motivated students, not to mention that as a new teacher, she pays more attention to the improvement of students' grades, she paused and said: "Your English has improved, it seems that you have worked hard during this time, the teacher hopes that you can continue to maintain, according to this state, your college entrance examination score will definitely improve." ”

Ye Gui nodded, indicating that he would continue to work hard, and then sat down after watching Gong Endian walk away.

In this morning self-study, the conversation between the two in the corner did not attract everyone's attention, and the other students began to seriously memorize the words in order to prevent themselves from being recruited after Liao Zhichen was driven to the door, and the only person who witnessed the whole process was Ye Gui's tablemate, the tall boy Jing Xiandong.

Ye Gui noticed Jing Xiandong's curious eyes, but he didn't explain anything,

……

The day's revision passed quickly, and the students began to pack their things after school.

Ye Gui, who had been waiting for school for a long time, couldn't wait to come to the bar street in Tongshi, his purpose today was to find a part-time job as a resident singer.

In this era, the bar culture was not so prosperous, and young people at this time lived relatively simple lives, unlike later generations who started to look for various entertainment activities after work.

But Ye Gui has his own plans, and now the practitioners of the bar industry feel that there is no future for doing this because of the prejudice of the society at that time, so the projects and business skills in various later bars have not been fully developed, and on the other hand, Ye Gui remembers that several bars in the copper market have not yet had live singing, and even if there are resident singers, there is no experience in those who have been in the bar all year round in later generations, and most of them are still in the stage of simply singing pop songs.

The working hours of the resident singer are flexible and the salary is not low, just because the current people have not fully accepted the entertainment industry as a serious career, and there are not many people in the industry now, Ye Gui must of course seize the opportunity at this time to prepare for his next plan in the future to raise capital.

It's just time to get off work, and the bars haven't really started to open yet, Ye Gui looked at the bars and pubs all over the street and began to look for them slowly.

Pure pub-style bars are not considered, and when this kind of shop is opened, the customers are positioned for those who simply come out to eat some side dishes and drink some wine, and the live singing has little attraction to this crowd; Ye Gui doesn't plan to try too small bars, although most of the consumers of these bars are young people who like to listen to music, but a bar that is too small generally does not have special equipment and stages, and it may not be able to provide Ye Gui with acceptable salary.

After looking for a long time, Ye Gui saw a bar of similar scale and fashionable decoration at the door.

"Hello, do you need to sing here?"

Ye Gui walked in the door and saw a man in his thirties sitting behind the bar, opening his mouth to ask.

The man looked at Ye Gui, frowned, and asked a little suspiciously, "Do you want to sing?" You're still a student. ”

At this time, Ye Gui changed into a more casual coat that he had put in his bag in the morning, but his appearance still looked too young.

"Yes, but I'm okay with singing."

Although I had considered that my age might become a problem before, I didn't expect the other party's first sentence to come out like this, Ye Gui was helpless, being young is sometimes a good thing, but there are also disadvantageous times.

Who knew that the man listened to Ye Gui's words, and his brows tightened: "I don't recruit students here, you can go to another house." ”

Ye Gui saw that the other party refused so decisively, and tried again without giving up: "Why don't you let me sing a song and try, and then you decide." ”

The other party didn't give Ye Gui a chance, shook his head and said, "No matter how good you sing, I won't recruit students here, so let's go." ”

The man didn't want to give Ye Gui a chance at all, the young man now was not reliable, he would rather not recruit a singer than recruit a person who looked very unstable to be a resident singer.

The teacher was unfavorable, and the first bar didn't give Ye Gui a few minutes to send him away, but Ye Gui didn't think that his luck would be so good, and he could succeed at one time.

Went out the door and walked towards another bar that looked similar.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Gui walked out of the bar with a black face. The boss of this house was even more excessive, seeing that Ye Gui was not old, he thought that he had come to him to make a joke, so he drove Ye Gui out without giving a good face.

Although he thought that there would be some problems, Ye Gui didn't expect that he would go to two houses and not even have a chance to sing.

This is completely different from imagining that as soon as he opened his voice, the people around him cried and shouted and begged him to stay.

Ye Gui would like to be able to look five or six years older, even if he looks in his 20s, he will not be rejected directly.

call

With a long breath, Ye Gui adjusted his mood and continued to try.

More than an hour later, Ye Gui walked out of the bar street with a helpless face, he had found countless bars for such a long time, and even went in to try the taverns that he didn't like before, but most of the shops directly rejected Ye Gui, and the few shops that could make Ye Gui sing also rejected him because the songs Ye Gui sang completely exceeded their ability to appreciate pop songs.

In the end, when Ye Gui had no choice but to sing two popular songs, a bar finally agreed, but the salary was too low, 10 yuan a day and a half an hour, even in 97, the price of 300 yuan a month really couldn't meet Ye Gui's future plan, so the only bar that offered the price did not negotiate.

It was already getting dark, Ye Gui was walking on the street alone, he saw the lights of the restaurants and shops in the distance, and the pedestrians on the road walked past him in pairs, only he walked here alone, which seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.

In the end, it was too simple, Ye Guiguang thought that there were many classic melodies and exquisite arrangements in his memory, but he didn't expect the acceptance of music that had not yet appeared in this era, and finally he changed his mind and began to sing popular songs of this era.

But another question that he ignored appeared, if it was a song that everyone could sing, what advantage did he have over others.

In his previous life, Ye Gui learned several musical instruments during his college years, but after all, the time was too short, and among the several instruments, he only had excellent acoustic guitar skills, but he was still not as good as those masters. The remaining instruments are more of an ordinary level, and in the final analysis, his advantage in music is not to compare with those professionals who have studied classical instruments since childhood, but to create talents.

In terms of singing skills, although Ye Gui's voice is very good, the aesthetics of this era are not as open as those of later generations, and all kinds of strange voices have the opportunity to become popular, and the voices that come out to sing in this era are not bad.

So Ye Gui actually brought a treasure with him, but he didn't expect to find even a satisfactory residency job.

A sense of loss suddenly came to his heart, although he thought that even if he was reborn and succeeded, it was not so simple, but Ye Gui was still hit by what happened in front of him.

Because it turned out that he was holding such a large number of classics, but he still had to wait for an opportunity to become popular like in the previous life.

Ye Gui's mind suddenly appeared the clear eyes of An Yan when she saw her today, and then those eyes slowly changed from the clearest blue to chaotic, until there was no longer a trace of brilliance in her eyes.

No, if you succeed one day earlier, you can change An Yan's fate one day earlier, and now is not the time to lose.

If it doesn't work once, try ten times, and if it doesn't work today, continue tomorrow.

Ye Gui walked forward with fighting spirit, he wanted to continue to walk around the city, although most of the bars were on the street just now, it didn't mean that there were no opportunities elsewhere, he had already decided in his heart that he would not give up in this life as long as there was a slight possibility.

At this moment, Ye Gui suddenly saw a Western restaurant bar that looked like it had just opened at the intersection in front of him, with the words "Recruiting a pianist" posted on the door.

Looking up, there were several three-dimensional large characters with warm white lights hanging on the silver metallic signboard at the entrance - Joanan Western Restaurant.
