11. 'Night Stalker'
Bai Ye is a night DJ.
When it comes to DJing, it is necessary to popularize science here that DJ is a profession, not a musical genre.
Many people mistakenly think that a DJ is the same as a producer of electronic dance music, but this is not necessarily true, a good electronic music producer will definitely be a good DJ, but a good DJ may not be able to produce electronic music.
The main job of a DJ is DJing - using a DJ and a mixing table to mix and edit multiple dance songs and play them, and match them with stage lighting, etc., to create a scene atmosphere and make customers happy.
Bai Ye is not a professional DJ.
In fact, in 2065, DJing is a profession that is almost extinct.
Because most night clubs will introduce a kind of sonic music that can directly stimulate the human cerebral cortex to stimulate human excitement and joy to create an atmosphere, the effect is more significant than pure DJ DJing.
Nowadays, there are only a handful of nightclubs with resident DJs, and many producers of electronic dance music have also chosen to change careers after the audience and distribution channels of their works have been greatly reduced.
The reason why Bai Ye is engaged in this rare profession is because of his interest, he himself loves electronic music and dance music, and he is also keen on this aspect of production.
Second, he felt that the passionate and blood-pumping working atmosphere in the night game was conducive to the treatment of his heart rate drop.
He works at a medium-sized nightclub called 'Night Owl' on 7th Street in Shuguang District, Huanhai City, and the owner of the shop, Li Dan, is Bai Ye's college classmate, and works from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. every night.
β¦β¦
If you drive a magnetic suspension motorcycle, it only takes 20 minutes to get from Bai Ye's house to the 'night owl'.
Park the motorcycle in the underground garage of the 'Night Stalker', Bai Ye took the elevator directly to the 3rd floor, where part of the area belongs to the staff lounge, and the interior also contains the office of the boss Li Dan.
It's only half past seven in the evening, and the 'night owl' hasn't even started to officially open for business, so Bai Ye walked straight to Li Dan's office.
Li Dan is a typical rich second generation, and his family is not small in Huanhai City in terms of power or financial resources.
The rule of the Li family is that when the sons become adults, they will give them a chance to do what they want to do, and the family will continue to provide a large amount of money in the early stage of entrepreneurship.
After Li Dan took the start-up capital, he opened this nightclub called 'Night Stalker', and became a business-free boss, spending most of his time in the office playing games every day.
"Big tie up, I'm four scum scum Hui, explore the lazy moon, the new version of the ship that has not been saved in the department, squeeze to experience three hours, and the inside will do the same ...... as me"
As soon as I opened the door and entered, there was a loud sound of game advertisements coming from inside.
Li Dan leaned on an ergonomic chair like a dead dog, crossed his feet, and shouted in a long voice:
"Sell, sell, sell, sell out...... Old Paper will never play this game again. β
This is a strong fat man with a height of more than 1.8 meters, even if someone who doesn't know him at all glances at random, he can estimate his weight in his heart to be 200 pounds.
Seeing Bai Ye walk in, Li Dan sat up slightly straighter and greeted:
"Bai Huohua (this guy once called Bai Hua by mistake for a while because he called Bai Ye's name wrong, and later he ingeniously took apart the word 'Ye' and called it, thus forming a new nickname for the ship), you came just in time, don't go to the show later, join me in a double row of "Pale Dawn", right?"
"Don't, they're all going to play games, how can this store still be open?"
Bai Ye noticed that the projection screen in front of Li Dan was staying in a game forum, and the interface was already overwhelmed by dense barrages.
"I bet no one will come up here today."
It's hard to imagine that such words actually came out of the mouth of this nightclub owner.
Li Dan pointed to the projection screen in front of him and said:
"Just now, the number of pre-registered players in the world of "Pale Dawn" has exceeded 600 million, and this number is almost the total number of gamers in the world.
"Not necessarily, I think there will be a lot of people here tonight."
Bai Ye put his hands on the desk and said:
"Didn't you say that you would go home in two months to report on the progress of your business? Last quarter's performance was not up to standard, and if you continue to indulge in the game, you will not be able to apply for follow-up family financial assistance. β
"What's the hurry, isn't there still two months left?"
Li Dan licked his lips and smiled: "In the name of the owner of this store, I ordered you to take a vacation tonight and come to play a few games with me?" β
"Forget it, you don't have to worry about your job, I have to worry about my work."
Bai Ye shrugged his shoulders and dropped a sentence, "I'll go debug the equipment." β
Then, he didn't care what Li Dan behind him continued to threaten with words like "against you, you dare to disobey the boss's orders" and "believe it or not, I'll fire you squid immediately", and left the office directly.
β¦β¦
'Night Owl' is just a medium-sized nightclub, and although the venue is not large, it has all the necessary organs.
Li Dan is not soft at all when he spends money, and spends a lot of money to create a full set of the most advanced holographic stage layout for the 'Night Stalker'.
The venue can not only simulate a variety of beautiful scenes that exist in the real or unreal world, but also come with extremely cool lighting and color harmony effects, creating a stage atmosphere that can arouse the greatest enthusiasm of the audience.
Bai Ye's stage is at the front of the venue, where a square platform rises, on which a full set of DJs and mixers are placed - this set of equipment is not easy to get, with the extinction of the DJ industry, these equipment that is out of touch with the times is more of a collection in the hands of some enthusiasts, and it is rare to see on the market.
After Bai Ye carefully checked the equipment, the time came to eight o'clock in the evening, and the business hours of the 'Night Stalker' had arrived.
But......
was really told by Li Dan, more than half an hour has passed since the opening of the business, and there is not even a ghost in the field of Nuoda.
Bai Ye played a few songs that had been prepared early, the stage lights flickered for a while, and the atmosphere was blurry, but there was no audience to interact, it felt like a single machine, and no matter how gorgeous the stage was, it felt a little miserable and cold.
At about half past nine, some customers began to come in one after another.
Bai Ye cut a song from Zedd's "Beautiful-now" and began to shake his body to the beat of the music, driving the atmosphere of the customers in the audience.
At this time, Li Dan, who was wearing big sunglasses, went to the stage with a sad face, picked up the microphone that was put aside and roared a few times as if venting, not only did not fit the beat of the drum, but also ruined the following customers Yaxing, who had barely entered the dancing state.
"Damn, it's really unpleasant, what do you say because the heart rate detection is too high, and the matching interval is as long as 12 hours,!"
He put down the microphone and leaned into Bai Ye's ear and said loudly.
Bai Ye didn't answer him, with a gloating expression on his face that I had known you would be like this.
Li Dan was bored and picked up the microphone again to help Bai Ye shout a few times to enliven the atmosphere of the scene.
At this time, the number of people in the field below began to increase slowly, and people kept coming in at the gate.
"What's next?"
"Samsara (reincarnation)."
"What?"
Li Dan couldn't hear Bai Ye's words clearly, and Bai Ye here had already quickly switched to a new melody.
A gentle prelude began to sound, followed by a gentle female voice:
'The clock is ticking'
'I have carefully planned my life'
Do you believe in karma? β
'Let's have a carnival, it's like reincarnation'
'Some may tell you that life is like stagnant water'
'But with us, depression is not the only one'
'Come on, let's set the tone'
'Get excited with music'
'Take me home, it's like reincarnation'
'Stop being restrained, it's like reincarnation'
'Come join us, we can make it'
'Come join us, we'll take it'
'Take me home and enter the ...... of reincarnation'
As the female voice sings, the beat of the drums begins to come in, and the power of the prelude begins to evaporate.
Then the pace slows down, like waiting for the calm before the storm.
βSamsaraοΌβ
Li Dan also knew how to cooperate, and he raised his head and yelled at the right time here, accompanied by the sudden bright and gorgeous lights, which completely detonated the audience.
The rhythm was instantly pulled back by Bai Ye, and the drum beat was increased to the maximum volume, like a hammer hitting the heart.
At the same time, his hands quickly moved sideways and began to rub the plate regularly.
The regular trembling of the body, the melody is blended under his dreamlike hands to create a unique rhythm, sometimes fast and sometimes slow but the layered rhythm, a commotion enough to detonate the soul, pushing the atmosphere in the venue to the climax.
