Chapter 3 The bandar should be just right and not chilling
When Hong Kong people say to buy a house, they do not mean to buy a building, but to buy a small apartment in a high-rise building.
Other things can lie flat and go with the flow, but when it comes to buying a house, you really have to do it as soon as possible.
Li Lecheng remembers very clearly that the property market on Hong Kong Island has fallen for three consecutive years, and it will rebound this year, followed by a rising boom for more than ten consecutive years.
If you don't buy a house in the next two years, you won't be able to afford it for at least the next ten years.
In his previous life, Li Lecheng could only play music and act, and he really didn't understand anything else, he only studied until Form 5.
I can't think of a way to make a windfall as soon as possible, except for speculating in real estate, buying stocks, and gambling on football.
If you want to talk about the recent big opportunity, Li Lecheng only remembers that Maradona will extend the hand of God in the World Cup next year.
Fortunately, people on Hong Kong Island love to watch Boqiu, and his impression of this session is generally clear, and Argentina was an underdog team at the beginning, so it should be quite profitable.
He hates gambling and doesn't gamble, because when he first came out of society as a musician as a teenager, he had no connections, thanks to the work arranged by the agent, and the agent would often ask them to play cards and gamble for money after their performances, and then play thousands to make them return the remuneration to him.
If it weren't for the gamble that knew the answer, he wouldn't have touched it.
He is really an honest man, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and smoking, so he has to eat in one bite and do nothing else.
"However, buying balls also requires principal, how can I have it? Forget it, I don't want to, go home to eat more, you can also make Mommy happy. ”
In fact, Li Lecheng's mother's house is in Wan Chai, two bus stops away from his rental house.
Mommy's house covers an area of more than 500 square feet, that is, forty or fifty square meters, and for Hong Kong people, a family of four lives so big, and the general level is also there.
But this house is actually rented.
They don't have a house of their own at all.
At this time, the monthly salary of the working class on Hong Kong Island is about 2,000 Hong Kong paper, and an ordinary family of four needs an income of 5,000 yuan a month to maintain an ordinary standard of life after paying the mortgage.
But a band boy like him has always been drunk and drunk, and has no habit of saving, and he gave almost all the cash to Jia Ju, and there are only a few hundred yuan left in the bank account.
Nothing is enough.
When Li Lecheng was young, there were times when he was more tight than now, but now he feels very insecure, and naturally he can't wait to make some money, after all, it is imminent for next month's household.
Li Lecheng shook his head, Jiaju was paid zero to help, and he had to avoid Peter this time to draw a clear line, so many Huaxing's accompaniment work could not be accepted...... Peter: They are almost exclusively musicians of Huaxing, and they are always entrenched in Huaxing's recording studio. If he wants to make money, he can only make a cameo as a bar singer. He started doing this kind of work when he was 14 or 5 years old, and he is familiar with it.
As for whether he sings well or not.
If you can make money from this, it is naturally passing, but his timbre is not distinctive, and his skills are not strong, not to the extent that he can release records. is old, his voice is not good, his singing skills are mediocre, although he is very handsome, he doesn't look like a good person, of course, no record company is willing to sign him as a solo singer.
But then again, if he sang better than he played, he would have been a musician in the first place.
Li Lecheng contacted a familiar bar, and the manager was also an old friend, so he was very face-saving and agreed.
Brother Lok sings, although he is only as average as a bar singer, but Brother Lok is handsome, the female is infatuated, and the male is worshipped, and he is very popular.
In this era, the easiest places for singers to make money are those five-star hotels and several high-end bars and restaurants in Central. Li Lecheng is looking for such a family.
He really wants to lie flat, but if he doesn't go out to make money, he won't be able to open the pot.
……
Midnight Central
"Brother Lok"
"Brother Lok"
"Brother Lok"
After rehearsing with the beyond, Li Lecheng rushed to the stage today.
Walking through the door of a restaurant and bar, several hostesses greeted him familiarly, he was a little embarrassed, he couldn't remember their names and faces anymore, he could only smile and nod.
"Wow, why is Brother Lok smiling at me, my heart is skipping a beat." There was a receptionist who patted his chest and was scared.
Li Lecheng almost slipped under his feet, but he forgot that when he was old, it was kind to smile, now, emmm......
"Lok, you're so early!" The voice of the bar manager came.
Li Lecheng located him and went over to greet him.
"I'm sorry, Ah Lok, in fact, a singer with a new film is coming to perform here tonight, and you told me temporarily, I can only put you in front of the other party as a warm-up singer. Now, the time is from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., during which the guests give tips and drink pumps as usual, how about it? ”
Today, when the singer came to perform, the business was good, and it would not be too bad with or without Li Lecheng, but he has always been a good person, so he gave face.
Li Lecheng has no problem with the manager's proposal.
This bar opens earlier in the evening, so it also serves meals, and although it is certainly not as popular as later in the evening, it is better to have more young couples on a date, so it will be more generous. If you don't care about it, it is quite profitable to warm up for others.
The bar has its own small stage, a piano on the side of the stage, microphones and stereos, but other equipment and instruments need to be brought by the performers.
Li Lecheng is only one person, although he brought a guitar and a piano on the side, but the guests at this time are sitting at the table to enjoy dinner, and there will be paper and pencil on each table to order songs, especially what popular songs and the like, only when no one orders songs, the singer can choose what to sing.
As for singing, professionals know that it is natural to sing when you are hungry.
Before the performance, it is best to sleep well before the throat is in a good state, and before singing, you must never eat, it is best to have an empty stomach, and the dantian can use its strength.
Li Lecheng nourished his body for the past two days, going to bed early every day and eating gruel.
He's in good shape today.
He must be singing better now than in his previous life, he has been a gold medal music director and record producer for so many years, he has no voice and no singing skills, but he has a singing quotient and aesthetics.
Before taking the stage, he hesitated whether he was wearing short-sighted glasses or sunglasses, and walked directly from behind the curtain to the stage.
As the saying goes, singing skills can't get along.
The guests, who were originally looking at each other, looked sideways at him when they saw the movement, and the air was quiet for a while.
The console teacher saw that it was almost over, dimmed the lights under the stage, lit up the stage, and gave a little introduction, and the performance began.
Li Lecheng sang an old jazz song as the opening, which was a safe card.
At this time, the guests were already relaxed, listening to the music, and enjoying the dinner quietly.
It's just that everyone is in a half-hearted state, few people focus on the food on the plate and the people in front of them, and most of the attention is taken away by the performers on stage.
Especially female guests.
"Wow, that big wavy long-haired boy on the stage is so beautiful and stylish."
"It's too evil, it's too dangerous."
"Men are not bad, women are not loved, let's order songs, so familiar, wait and ask for a phone number."
"But I don't dare, I don't even dare to look at him, his eyes are too flirtatious."
It's just that no one said he sang well.
