Chapter 17 Observing Pedestrians
The day after Uncle Inoue left, Zhou Xiao, who was still in a state of nothing, continued his singing career.
Although Uncle Inoue's resignation was very helpless to Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao was relieved a lot when he heard that the uncle was not without a job. Although the job in the TV station will definitely not be as stable as being a theater manager, at least the fact that it can bring income to the family also makes Zhou Xiao feel a lot more comfortable.
Moreover, don't forget that Uncle Inoue also promised a job with Zhou Xiao, the job opportunity of the TV station is still very good, not only will the income be better, but the various treatments will not be bad, and more importantly, it is a very valuable opportunity for Zhou Xiao, who is determined to be in this industry, to be able to observe the operation of the TV station up close.
Therefore, on the whole, Zhou Xiao's mood is still very good, at least he no longer has the same sense of grief and indignation as when he sang before.
The mood can also be naturally reflected from a person's singing, so Zhou Xiao's singing in the subway station on this day is mostly light and folk songs, and recently, most Japanese people walking in the subway are also accustomed to the singing in the station, which is a good thing for Zhou Xiao, because most people waiting for the train will think that it is a bit inappropriate to listen to it for free for so long after listening to the song for several days in a row? Then most of these people will at least throw at least a few hundred yuan into his guitar case, and Zhou Xiao found that after stabilizing, his income has been really good these days.
The Japanese are very reserved, in the first day or two, even if many Japanese are listening to Zhou Xiao singing, they have to pretend as if they didn't listen, their eyes will look at the subway railway, look at the direction the subway is coming and even look at the ceiling, except for their ears, they just don't dare to look at Zhou Xiao.
Then on the third day, the listeners, who had been listening for two days, finally counted...... can look at Zhou Xiao a little head-on, but even so, those who listen to Zhou Xiaoge also tacitly stand far away, unless it is really Zhou Xiao, otherwise, those who stop to listen to the song are at least four or five meters away from Zhou Xiao, and the only situation that will take the initiative to approach is when the money is given.
For Zhou Xiao, the guitar singing in the past few days is a very valuable experience, these performances not only made him deliberately stand in front of people and sing, but also made him feel a big turn in Japan and Tokyo.
In the past, Zhou Xiao always felt that Tokyo would be advanced, modern, and very atmospheric and flavorful, but after performing in the past few days, Zhou Xiao found that Tokyo also has a secular side, which is a fast and indifferent, secular and slashing city. In other words, Tokyo and Beijing are actually the same, the city itself does not have any temperament at all, the people in the city actually have no temperament at all, temperament is carried by everyone, ten people and ten colors of shijie, Tokyo, a metropolis with 30 million people living in the city, there are 30 million colors, it is impossible to attribute all colors to one.
Therefore, Zhou Xiao began to observe others when he was singing, which was a very happy thing to do, and it was also a very helpful thing for him to make money.
"This person is still wearing a suit with a briefcase, and his head is half bald, and at first glance he looks like a little white-collar worker who has been sitting in the office for half his life, and he is absolutely not interested in stopping and listening to songs, pass!"
"This dressed person looks fashionable and handsome, but he has already heard my singing voice but he lowers his head and doesn't dare to look at me, thinking that he is a guy who will pretend to be generous in front of girls, but he is actually stingy to death, pass!"
"Although this eldest sister is nearly forty years old, she is dressed so flamboyantly, either on her wedding anniversary or to meet a third party, this Japanese woman is open, I have seen a lot of this, but although such a woman is dressed very well, she will be very careful about things that attract attention, so it is impossible to give money under the gaze of many people, pass!"
"Hey, there's a couple over there!" Zhou Xiao immediately became energetic.
After a few days of singing career, Zhou Xiao summed up some experience, there is no need to pay attention to walking faster, listening to his music, and giving him money, the vast majority of them are those who walk slowly and have time at first glance.
Among them, the easiest to give money is naturally a couple. And among couples, the possibility of giving money is also different, those who are tired of being together, and the people who see it are eager to burn it to death, are basically the least likely to give money, because they have passed the initial period of needing to please each other by showing themselves, unless it happens to coincide with the birthday of one of the two people or the anniversary of how many days they have known each other.
Zhou Xiao is most concerned about those couples who are obviously lovers, but there is some distance when they walk, the slightly jerky state of these couples, at first glance, is the moment when they still need to show their good performance to each other, for this kind of couple, as long as Zhou Xiao goes up and behaves a little, often the couples who are in estrus will generously take out their wallets and throw him a paper ticket (more than 1,000 yuan).
As for singing these days, has Zhou Xiao ever met anyone who really likes his music and his singing voice?
I hate to admit it, but the answer to this question is ...... Zuihou can only be denied...... In fact, there will really be people who like him to sing, Zhou Xiao can see it, the kind of performance with surprise and emotion. But...... There aren't many such scenes...... And...... Zhou Xiao found that not to mention the liking of just one or two people, even if his singing voice made a large circle of people around, and after the end of a song, he got full applause, and often the result of zuihou was just that everyone clapped their hands and went home or went to do their own thing, no matter how big the splash and waves he splashed alone, zuihou would only return to the ordinary, to the ordinary.
Zhou Xiao found himself ...... It's a little easier to think about.
In fifteen years, if you sing really well, there will be many people who are willing to stop and listen to you sing, and the good deeds will even directly record the video of you singing and put it on the Internet, it will be a real one-ten-ten-hundred, and within a few days, you may be full of Shijie know, and your video may have millions of views.
But it's 2000 now, mobile phones have just begun to enter the era of color screens, community networks and video websites have no shadow, and the concept of smart phones may not be known to anyone, in such an era, unless Zhou Xiao persistently sings for a few months or even a few years, otherwise, maybe at most he can only earn money to keep himself alive.
A poor person is not qualified to pick and choose, even if Zhou Xiao has tens of millions of yuan worth of things in his head, he can only do anything at this time, if he only wants to take out those things in his mind and ignore other things, it is likely that he will starve to death on the street before he can take out the things.
In a total of four days of singing career, he earned less than 10,000 yen in total, plus 5,000 yen for the performance that day, in less than a week, he earned 15,000 yen, after deducting the daily food expenses, Zuihou left him with less than 10,000 yen, which seemed to be able to live at a level, but Zhou Xiao was not happy at all, because when he was singing, he found that singing or something actually has something to do with luck, the same song and the same performance, Sometimes he may not get a penny, and sometimes someone will drop a thousand yuan bills, in this state, Zhou Xiao is very worried that he will run out of food if he can't receive enough money for a few days in a row.
"I don't know how Uncle Inoue found a job in a TV station, if he can work part-time at the TV station, his life is estimated to be more stable, as long as he can write a novel, at least he can get out of abject poverty today!" Zhou Xiao thought.
While thinking about these messy things, in fact, Zhou Xiao's singing never stopped, and he also did not stop observing the behavior of the pedestrians around him, no, he saw a woman's figure again.
"Will this person stop and listen to himself sing?" Zhou Xiao thought.
