Ten minutes later.
Red Romantic Cabaret.
Like most dance halls in China, this dance hall has a large wooden floor in the middle, and a bar counter on the left and right sides, where customers can sit and have a drink when they are tired of dancing.
The ballroom is about 400 square meters, with four loudspeakers playing music in the four corners, and on the left side of the entrance, there is a small stage of about 8 square meters.
As soon as he came in, Fang Yuanchao looked at the dim light, a few colored pillars of light that swept by from time to time, swallowed and said, "So many people! ”
At this time, a special song for ballroom dancing is playing in the dance hall, and dozens of pairs of men and women are strolling and dancing in the center of the dance floor, and the left and right sides are full of customers, some chatting, and some pointing at the dance floor.
"This person is still a small number, there is a song and dance hall in the eastern district, which is called a big one!" Xue Ke is an old fritter, and he has not come to the dance hall once or twice, and he has long been used to this battle.
Liu Wen and Tian Zhennan are also familiar with the environment because they have come to this place to find jobs before.
Only Fang Yuanchao, thinking that he would sing in front of so many people later, was still a little timid in his heart.
"Let's go, Lao Li is over there!"
Xue Ke looked around and saw Li Yange and Guo Yazhi on the side of the small stage.
A few people walked over, and they heard Li Yange say to a middle-aged man: "Boss Chen, don't worry, I said that the singing is not good, or if everyone is not welcome, we will not charge a dime today, turn around and leave!" ”
"No, don't worry, as long as you sing well, the salary you should be given will not be less." Boss Chen of the dance hall shook his head, those who can open a dance hall in Beijing have more or less background at home, so they naturally don't care about the small amount of money that invites the band to sing.
"Lao Li! Lao Li! ”
The dance hall was a little noisy, Xue Ke shouted twice, Li Yange heard it, looked back at them coming, and said to Boss Chen: "Boss Chen, our people are all here, when do you think it will start?" ”
When Boss Chen heard this, he looked at Xue Ke and the others, and saw that they were all carrying musical instruments such as drums, basses, and electronic organs, and they looked very professional, and he recognized a lot in his heart.
Boss Chen said: "When this song is over, I will personally go on stage to introduce you to you." ”
"Okay, then we'll get ready now."
Li Yange didn't wait for him to reply, turned around and called Guo Yazhi, walked to the side of the small stage with Xue Ke and others, and began to install drums and electronic organs.
The action here also attracts the attention of the people around you.
"Is this a band coming to play?"
"If you look at the bass and the drum kit, it can't be a rock band, right?"
"Looks like it!"
"I don't know how well I sing, whether it's good for Cui Jian."
“……”
When someone was talking in twos and threes, one of the three people sitting in the corner chatting found Li Yange and them, and said with a smile: "Lao Cui, you see that there seems to be a band over there, see if you recognize them." ”
Cui Jian squinted and saw several young people, tinkering with drums, and chuckled: "Beijing is so big, how can I know them all." ”
"Haha, that's, it's normal that you don't know them, but they definitely know you."
Another person joked: "The first person in Chinese rock!" How loud this is! ”
Hearing his friend's joke, Cui Jian smiled helplessly, but he was still quite proud in his heart.
Just the day before yesterday, a group of students from Peking University established the "Peking University Cui Jian Support Association".
At that time, Cui Jian was also invited over, and he was surprised and delighted to see that the talents of Peking University actually set up a support club for themselves.
At that time, a reporter who didn't know where to get the news asked Cui Jian: As the first person in domestic rock, what do you say to other colleagues?
The first person in Chinese rock!
This title is too big, although Cui Jian shook his head again and again and said that he was not the first person, and he was not the first to sing rock and roll, but he couldn't stand the fact that the people who were at the scene at the time were all members of his fan support club, and this statement spread all of a sudden.
Now everyone who knows Cui Jian will mention this matter as soon as they meet.
"Everyone!"
Suddenly, the music stopped.
Boss Chen of the dance hall walked up to the small stage with the microphone, looked at the customers at the scene and said: "Today I invited a band to sing two songs for everyone, I hope you can like it." Let's welcome the band at 46 Baojia Street! ”
As soon as the words fell, the people who came to play below, coaxed and applauded.
"No. 46 Baojia Street?" Cui Jian felt that the name of this band was a little familiar.
A friend said, "Isn't this the house number of the central sound?" ”
"It's the house number of the central sound, this band takes this name, it won't be the students of the central sound, right?" Another speculated.
"Probably."
"If it's really a student of CA, it will be interesting!"
That's the Central Conservatory of Music!
Everyone who plays music in Beijing knows this school, and there is actually a rock band?
It was a bit unexpected for the three of them.
At this time.
Li Yange and his entourage of six people came to the stage.
Seeing so many people staring at him, Fang Yuanchao stammered a little and said, "Yan Ge, I'm ...... I was a little nervous. ”
"Don't be nervous, just rehearsal." Li Yange patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you are really nervous, just close your eyes and sing, and don't look at these people." ”
Hearing him say this, Fang Yuanchao swallowed and said, "Okay, I'll try." ”
"Alright, everyone get ready!"
Li Yange walked quickly to the electronic piano, and when he saw that Fang Yuanchao had adjusted his state, he also nodded to Guo Yazhi.
In terms of the prelude of this song, Li Yange modified it slightly and added a small section of saxophone.
Getting the understanding, Guo Yazhi and Tian Zhennan held the saxophone tightly and slowly began to play.
At the same time, Liu Wen also immediately beat the drum kit.
Xue Ke and Li Yange followed closely behind to play the bass and electronic piano.
With the cooperation of five people, a dynamic music sounded.
At this time, it is still in the prelude, but because it is inherently suitable for the environment of the dance hall, at this moment, many people are already swaying slightly, as regular visitors to the dance hall, they have a deep sense of rhythm.
Fang Yuanchao closed his eyes, clenched the microphone, nervous, he kept beating the beat with his hands, and when the prelude ended, he immediately sang loudly:
"Hah! Underneath that lamp, there was a little girl crying, and I don't know where she came from!
Ha! The little girl wept so sadly that she did not know who had abandoned her and where she was to go now!
Dear little sister, please don't stop crying, where is your home, I will take you back with you......"
As he sang, dozens of young men and women walked to the center of the dance floor, swaying their bodies wantonly, they didn't know how to dance, they didn't know what it was, they only knew how to release the restless youth and hormones that had nowhere to go.
For a while, the entire dance hall was full of jubilation.
"This song is kind of interesting."
After Cui Jian finished speaking, he looked at his two friends, and saw that they were also shaking their heads, and couldn't help but smile.
Li Yange has a first-hand experience of the power of this song, although it is not rock and roll, nor is it an authentic dance music, but it has been popular for 30 years, which is enough to show how infectious this song is!
