Chapter Forty-Seven: The Disco of Hedong (Ask for Collection)
"Oriental Hollywood?!" Sister Mei was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, it seems to be quite imposing." ”
Han Jin couldn't help but smile, ho11yoodeast (ho11yoodeast) is a lingering memory in the minds of people born in the 70s and 80s.
Oriental Hollywood is the name of a large dIsco dance hall in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, whose resident dJ Yang Zhenlong and patrickde1ay remixed and played European and American pop dance music, which attracted a crazy following of dancers and quickly became a popular fashion.
Hong Kong's Face Records saw an opportunity to synthesize these remixes of dance pop songs into an album. With the help of the Oriental Hollywood brand, it quickly sold well in Southeast Asia once it was launched.
In 1987, the Guangdong East Branch of China Record Company imported the copyright from Feishi Records and launched the "Oriental Hollywood Star Ball" series of records, which was abbreviated as "Hedong Disco" because the name was too long.
As a result, Hedong's disco dance music became popular all over the country, such as "cold as ice" (coLdeRThaTIce), "sayyou'11never" and "Let'sgo" (Let'sgo).
Han Jin knew that the name "Oriental Hollywood" was prosperous enough, so Sister Jian Yimei took this name to borrow luck.
Although this move is seriously a bit superstitious, there are countless stars in the entertainment industry who have become popular because of their name changes.
"Brother" Zhang Guorong was formerly known as Zhang Zhong, Tianwang Liu Dehua was formerly known as Liu Furong, "Liangkun" Wu Zhenyu was formerly known as Wu Zhiqiang, and "Wanwan's No. 1 Beauty" Xiao Chang was formerly known as Xiao Xiuxia......
It sounds really rustic and cheesy, it doesn't look like a star's name at all, and after changing the name, it will be much taller. It is hard to imagine that if Liu Dehua is still called Liu Furong and Xiao Yan is still called Xiao Xiuxia, they can still have today's achievements.
"Ah Jin, I plan to ask experts to help design the renovation, and then invite professional dJ from the United States to stay in the store, do you think this idea is good?" Sister Mei asked with a smile again.
Han Jin nodded, "That's naturally good." ”
Turning a bar into a disco is not just a matter of installing a few lights, installing a few stereos, and putting on some dance music. The sound, lighting, and dance floor all need to be professionally designed to bring guests the best enjoyment.
It's like a sound system, a bar needs a sound system that pursues high fidelity (hI-FI), and you can sit in any corner of the bar and listen to the music, as if it were singing in your ear.
Discotheques, on the other hand, aim for a strong sense of roar, as if there is an airplane flying overhead. The shock of heavy bass makes people's hearts beat out, and that is called shock and enjoyment.
The resident dJ seems to be an easy job, just need to put the record on time, but in fact, the job is the hardest.
This is because resident dJ must be good at grasping the atmosphere of the scene and knowing when and what kind of music is the most appropriate, so as to maintain the atmosphere of the store and keep customers in a happy mood.
This requires that a dJ must have enough experience, a large collection of various styles of music, a very high musical taste, keen insight and adaptability, so that a qualified dJ can be qualified.
"In that case, this store will probably become history." Sister Mei sighed and said, "It's been ten years before I know it, so I'm really reluctant." ”
"Sister Mei, don't be sad. The so-called old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come. Han Jin hurriedly explained, "Now that the discotheque is booming, most of our Jh business has been robbed, and it is really impossible not to carry out reforms." ”
"The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come?!" Sister Mei repeated, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Well, Ah Jin, you're right." ”
Han Jin couldn't help but smile when he saw that she had figured it out.
"But if that's the case, then the bar will be closed for the time being." Sister Mei thought for a while.
"Well, it's good that I saved a little money before, and I can get a salary at the TV station, otherwise I would be miserable." Han Jin smiled, "Sister Mei, don't decorate for too long, I can't last a few months with this money." ”
"I said earlier, if you don't have any money, you can take it from me." Sister Mei smiled, "Are you still afraid that Sister Mei will charge you interest?" ”
"Of course not," Han Jin waved his hand and said, "It's just that I'm a man, how can I reach out to a woman and ask for money." ”
"Stinky boy, how old are you to be a man?" Sister Mei smiled, "I have always regarded you as a younger brother." My brother asks my sister for money, how can I pay so much attention to it? ”
Han Jin scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, so he had to smirk.
……
After getting off work in the evening, Sister Mei gathered the employees of the store together, and then told everyone about the conversion of the bar into a discotheque.
Although the crowd was a little surprised to hear this, most of them still agreed.
Because now the discotheque is indeed booming, the business is booming, and there are many customers. For waiters who make money from their liquor commissions, the more guests the better.
I just heard the proprietress say that it still needs to be renovated, and I am afraid that it will not be completed in a day or two, and everyone can't help but be a little worried.
The level of consumption in Hong Kong is very high, and there is not much left of the monthly salary except for the cost of housing and food. Young people like to buy famous brands and chase girls, and there is even less left every month.
is really the so-called "moonlight clan", the family has no surplus food, the hands stop talking, and the pressure of life is also very heavy. If Jh Bar is renovated for a month or two, it's really hard to get through it.
"That's good, I also know that you are having a hard time, so you will only have a basic salary every month." Seeing everyone's sad faces, Sister Mei thought about it again and said, "If I know that you secretly went to another family and married a daughter and two people, you have to be careful with me." ”
"Ah! Hostess, you are so good to us. Everyone cheered together, and it was a pie-in-the-sky thing to get paid for nothing without having to do anything.
Han Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if he could still get a basic salary every month, and there would be two or three thousand Hong Kong dollars together, then his money would not be so tight.
Seeing Han Jin's expression relaxed, Sister Mei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
……
After the bar closed, Han Jin and Wu Qiwei received their wages and walked back to Shi Kip Wei.
"Ah Jin, how do you guess Sister Mei is so generous? Don't do anything and still care about your salary? Wu Qiwei asked with a smile.
"Sister Mei is kind-hearted, and she knows that we usually spend a lot of money, and we don't have any savings on hand. If you don't start work for a month or two, life will be really difficult. That's why I'm so considerate of us. Han Jin thought for a while.
"Is it really what you think?" Wu Qiwei was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile.
"Otherwise, what do you think is the reason?" Han Jin asked rhetorically.
"I don't know, but I do know one more thing." Wu Qiwei suddenly smiled sheepishly.
"What else do you know?" Han Jin asked curiously.
"If Qingyun knew that we could get money without going to work now, I would probably die of depression." Wu Qiwei laughed and said.
Han Jin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Liu Qingyun resigned from his job in a bar because he was worried that the filming time was uncertain and he would not be able to coordinate well with the work of the bar waiter, so he resolutely resigned and wanted to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
If he had known that he had just quit, the bar would have to be renovated and closed for at least a month. And employees don't have to go to work, they can still receive a basic salary, and it is estimated that they can be really depressed to vomit blood.
