Before the official performance, Alex had to pass the Bart level first, after all, they still had to go on stage together in the end. If something goes wrong, it's the "Owls" who will be disgraced.

Bart crouched down, pressed his hands on Alex's shoulders, and said, "Are you ready?" Take it easy and sing as you normally would. ”

Alex was silent and nodded. He was carrying a guitar and was about to play and sing when Old Joe, who was standing on the side, suddenly said: "Either you concentrate on singing, we will accompany you!" ”

Alex thought for a moment, shook his head, and refused. It's fine for him to have a guitar on his back, but if he is allowed to stand on the stage with his hands empty, it will make him feel uncomfortable. If only he could dance, even if he couldn't, he could swing his body. It's just that he won't do any of this, after all, it's the first time to perform in public, so let's take my time.

He took a deep breath and played the guitar in his hand, and after a few seconds, his heart was no longer nervous. So he opened his mouth to sing, his voice was quiet and ethereal, full of emotion, making people feel that the heart is clean, and the body and mind are natural and pure.

When he came back to his senses, he saw shocked faces. They really couldn't imagine that Alex's singing voice would be so good. Paul was also a little proud in his heart, after all, Alex was taught by him.

Dill was the first to react, applauding and applauding: "Good, good singing!" Let's do one more, okay! ”

Old Joe and the others also applauded together, and asked Alex to continue singing.

Barthes's joy and pride at that time are beyond words. He felt that his son was a genius!

Alex was encouraged and began to get excited, and this time he changed to another one, which Paul had also taught. This time, his body was not so stiff, and even with a heavy guitar on his back, he could gently shake his body.

From his eyes, expressions and movements, everyone can see the confidence and joy when he sings. After singing, to everyone's applause, Alex bent down slightly and saluted. He felt that his heart was filled with a strong desire to perform, and he was also full of joy and confidence.

Suddenly, he felt that it was not difficult to perform in public. He began to like the feeling, the feeling of being watched, clapped and cheered.

Everyone unanimously decided to let Alex be the lead singer of their "Owl" band! They believe that a lead singer who is only four years old and has such a brilliant singing voice will definitely be able to attract the audience.

However, until then, they still plan to let Alex practice more. When everything is ready, let Alex perform on stage and become famous in one fell swoop!

Under Paul's arrangement, Alex constantly tries to perform in front of people. First in front of parents and people close to them, then in front of strangers. Eventually, Paul felt that he was ready, and went to the stage of the tavern.

Before taking the stage, the band "Owl" warmed up beforehand, and they had Alex wait below.

To be honest, their level of band is completely amateurish. There were a total of four people on stage this time, Bart, Old Joe, Dill and Paul. Among them, Paul served as the lead singer of the band, and his singing voice was okay, but the others were not very good.

When the "owl" came on stage, people didn't care much about it, and they did what they had to do. The atmosphere was not good at all, and the sound was noisy like a downtown area. The band performed on top, and the people below didn't even turn their heads to look at them, treating them completely as ornaments and their sounds as background music.

After a pause, Paul leaned closer to the microphone and said, "Next, I'm going to invite a four-year-old kid, Alex to perform for you!" ”

Paul's words caught the attention of some, but most were still talking to their drinking partners. They didn't put their spirit on the stage of the tavern.

When it comes to a show, most people are influenced by the attitude of the audience. Especially in a place like a tavern, many people can't finish their first song. Alex had thought he was no longer scared and would not be nervous, but he was wrong. As soon as he stood on the stage, he felt that his legs were a little weak, and his head began to feel dizzy.

Superpowers can only allow him to learn skills, but they cannot make him overcome his psychological fears, and in this regard, he must rely on himself.

Looking at the various drinkers below, smelling the unpleasant smell of smoke in the tavern, and listening to the chaotic sounds, Alex's mind went blank. The voice of the song was so small that even the people next to him couldn't hear it clearly, and Alex's attention couldn't be concentrated at all.

Paul had been staring at Alex for a long time, and he saw that something was wrong, so he leaned over and whispered in Alex's ear: "Close your eyes, don't look at anything, don't think about anything, just sing the song in your heart." ”

Alex was immediately relieved of Paul's words, closed his eyes, and turned his attention to singing. He followed the rhythm of the others, played the guitar, and gradually, his heart calmed down.

Dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, he sang "Overthe Rainbow," an interlude from the movie "The Wizard of Oz."

At first, the tavern was very noisy, and when Alex's voice rang out, it was like singing in the distance. However, his voice is indeed very special and penetrating. The childish children's voice, in this chaotic environment, is like a clear spring, which makes people feel refreshed.

A person turns his head and looks for the source of this sound. Two people, three people, and soon everyone was staring at Alex on the stage. As he sang, the people around him gradually stopped talking, and they were all listening attentively. Half a minute later, he was the only one left in the tavern.

It was a very simple song, and he sang it once, then a second time, and then the whole band sang it a third time. After three times, the audience shook with joy, and everyone stood up and applauded, and some even screamed: "Do it again!" ”

It was such a shocking scene that even Alex was stunned, he didn't expect his singing voice to be so charming. Every applause was like a compliment, and he was greatly encouraged physically and mentally.

The others were even more unbearable, and everyone was frightened by the audience's reaction. Even Dill was so moved to tears by this scene that he almost cried. The band "Owl" had never encountered such a fierce scene, and even if there was applause, it was only a few sporadically, and more of it was laughter.

"I don't know what happened in Langdao, but all of a sudden, people's emotions boiled over, as if someone had lit a big firecracker and threw it into the crowd." Years later, Dill said this as he recalled the episode of Alex's first show.

Paul is very proud and proud to be Alex's Initiation teacher. Although he is an unpopular musician, he is able to teach such an excellent disciple.

Bart was even more excited, he had dreamed that he would be able to stand on the stage and receive cheers and applause from the audience. Only now did he truly experience it.

In order to calm the audience's emotions, Alex sang another song. The song was also sung very well, and he slowly got used to the feeling on stage. He feels like a hypnotist, using his singing voice to tug at people's heartstrings and control their emotions.

That night, Alex sang three songs in a row until he was a little hoarse. The tavern guests tossed the change in their pockets to the side of the stage as a tip. When he got off the stage, when he passed by a table of guests, they all warmly gathered around him, wanting to talk and shake hands with him.

The owner of the tavern immediately rewarded Alex with $10 and asked them to come and perform every night.

"I can make a contract with you if you want to. I'll give you the band $20 for one night! The boss said to Bart. $20 is a lot, the equivalent of a week's salary for Bart. Even if the five of them split it equally, $4 each, that's equivalent to a day's worth of work in the factory.

Bart hurriedly discussed with Old Joe and them, and then decided to work for a month first. Most of their performances are not paid a fixed salary, and they basically rely on tips from the audience.

If the owner of the tavern gives $20 and the audience tips, it is estimated that it can be $50 a day. On average, $10 per person is more than what you get paid for working in a factory. It's just that this kind of income is unstable, and it is not that much money that is taken every day.

With this income, Bart and Alex combined for nearly $20 a day. They no longer have to worry about spending on the new members they are about to make, and they will be able to further improve the standard of living of their families.

After a month or two of performing in the tavern, Paul realized that he could no longer teach the Carpenter brothers. So he went to Carpenter's house that night to discuss something with Barth.

"Bart, listen to me, please listen to me! As long as Alex is given enough and correct guidance, I am sure that he will make a difference in the field of music! However, I can't lead him that far, and you have to ask more professional teachers to come and teach them. Paul said this to the Carpenters, as if they were swearing.

"Hmm, a more professional music teacher?" Bart touched his chin, then pondered.

Angel didn't think that much, she turned to Alex and asked, "Do you like music?" Want to learn more instruments? ”

"Like! I want to learn piano! Alex has always been very envious of the protagonist who can play the piano on TV, whenever he sits in front of the piano, he plays and sings affectionately, which is cool. He is convinced that many girls will like such boys.

Bart himself was very fond of music, and when he saw that his son was so interested in music, he decided to use his modest savings to hire a professional music teacher. He already had a plan in mind, and it was there when Alex was still showing his musical talent.

He intends to hire a college teacher directly to teach Alex, not only piano, but other things. It's a good idea to be able to have Alex homeschooled so that you can save some money and save time at the same time.

He wants Alex to become a hit star, release records, appear on TV, and act in movies! It's not just Alex, he even has such a plan for his unborn child. If he didn't realize his dream, let the children realize it for him. What's more, singers are very profitable, more profitable than factory workers.

"Kid! It's going to be up to you in the future, and our whole family is going to see you. Bart said solemnly to Alex.

Things were a little different from Alex's thoughts, but it was nothing. He didn't want to think about it too much, and some things were left to others to plan. He just needs to live happily, since he has been reborn, why fight tirelessly. He's been tired all his life and he wants to take a break.

Thinking of this, Alex no longer cares about Bart's thoughts, he just needs to play the role of a musical genius. With his ability, it was easy to play a genius.
