Chapter 513: Solving the Problem
Gu Wei took the money and glanced at a few people in the room.
"Xiaojing, Ruoyun, Berlin come with me and take you to get money!"
Gu Wei waved his hand at a few people, and although the other three boys were confused, they still obediently followed his footsteps.
In the more than 20 days of getting along, Gu Wei's ability was seen by everyone, and even Chen Bolin, who had just joined the African station, was very convinced of him.
"What are you going to do, do you need my help?"
Jiang Shuying watched the boys walk out of the room and shouted uneasily.
Gu Wei waved his hand.
"Don't worry, Jiang Jiang, wait for our good news"
Soon, the 4 boys took their respective followers out and took a taxi to leave.
For this situation, the Hua Shao program team will not care, they are only responsible for arranging tasks, giving money, and following the whole process, and the rest depends on the guests themselves.
In the living room of the villa, Jiang Shuying frowned, obviously still not at ease, but Naza, who was sitting on the side, did not have any worried expression at all, holding a small mirror and looking at it leisurely.
"Aren't you curious about what Gu Wei and the others are doing with the money?" Jiang Shuying couldn't help but ask her.
"When Gu Wei comes back, he will naturally tell us." Nazar said as a matter of course.
"We're going to leave tomorrow, how can they get the money in such a moment?"
Seeing Jiang Shuying's expression, Nazha smiled and patted her hands.
"Relax, since Gu Wei has taken care of the matter, then he must have a way.
I believe in him, no matter what he does, Gu Wei has never let me down! β
Naza's tone was flat, but her words were full of absolute trust in Gu Wei.
She has known Gu Wei since she went to college in 11 years, and now she has been doing more than 6 years, as long as what the other party wants to do is not unsuccessful.
This also made her blindly trust Gu Wei.
"What are we going to do?"
On the taxi from the villa, Zhang Ruoyun was still a little confused.
"When we come out of the Sydney Opera House in the afternoon, do you notice what's in the square outside?" Gu Wei prompted.
"What, there are a lot of people watching music performances!" Jing Bairan is unknown.
"Oh, I see!" Chen Bolin slapped his thigh, his face a little excited.
"Gu Wei, do you mean that there are a lot of wandering musicians in the square outside the opera house?"
"Are we really going to show off?" At this time, everyone else also understood what Gu Wei meant.
Because of the dense flow of people, and the large number of audiences listening to music performances coming and going back and forth, there are many wandering artists performing in the large square outside the opera house.
Some of them play the violin, some play the saxophone, as long as the performance is good, they can always get some rewards from the onlookers, how much or less, depending on the level of the performers.
"It's okay to try, but we only have one night tonight, and we're still 1,200 Australian dollars short, can we make up enough?"
I watched the music performances before, and I noticed the wandering artists performing in other squares, and many of them could only receive a few dozen yuan in tips."
Mr. Jing was skeptical about how much money he could get from being a busker.
This is in Australia, not in China, and for foreigners, they are not well-known.
Gu Wei can be a little better, but his fame abroad is mainly concentrated in the fashion circle, and ordinary people still don't know much about him.
After a while, a few people came to the small square in front of the opera house, and Gu Wei led the three of them into a nearby musical instrument store, ready to rent some musical instruments to play for a while, which was also the reason why Gu Wei asked Jiang Shuying for money.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no matter how good Gu Wei is in music, he can't sing songs to ask for rewards, he always has to use musical instruments.
"What instruments do you all know?"
Gu Wei turned his head and asked the other three.
"I can play piano and guitar, and more or less anything else." Chen Bolin has played music before, and he has written songs by himself, so he knows more about musical instruments.
"I know the piano and the violin." Zhang Ruoyun was born in an artistic family, and his talent in music was also cultivated since childhood.
"Well, I can also play the piano and drums, and I'm pretty good at singing." Jing Boran is a talent show entertainment [Come on!] Good Boy] debuted, and once won the championship of the Shengjing Singing District, but he rarely sang after filming.
Gu Wei nodded, it was enough for a few people to form a small band.
Eventually, he negotiated with his boss at a musical instrument rental company to rent an electronic keyboard, a drum kit, a guitar and a saxophone, and of course a loudspeaker and a microphone.
To be honest, according to the normal process, Gu Wei's 1,000 Australian dollars in his hand can't rent so many things.
It's not that the rent is not enough, according to the exchange rate, 1,000 Australian dollars is about 4,700 yuan, and they can rent it for only a few hours, but Gu Wei has no money to pay a deposit.
Later, a few people promised to perform within 50 meters of the musical instrument store, and the boss looked at a group of staff with cameras around him and agreed.
A few people moved everything out and adjusted the instruments, and it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.
"What song are we going to play?" Jing Bairan sat in front of the drum kit and beat it twice casually, and it felt quite fresh not to play for a long time.
"Can you play my [Natural]?"
"It should be possible, but I have to practice a few times to get familiar with it." Zhang Ruoyun stood in front of the electronic piano, and he also learned Gu Wei's song when it became popular a few years ago.
Gu Wei took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, the next performance at the Sydney Opera House ended at about 9 o'clock, and at that time, the largest wave of people would come out of it, which was their last chance today.
"You go to the Internet to search for [Natural] scores, familiarize yourself with them first, and I'll play a saxophone to attract some people."
When the four boys set up a formation, they attracted a few pedestrians, pointing around them.
Zhang Ruoyun and the three of them hurried to familiarize themselves with the score and the instrument in their hands, and Gu Wei took a few steps forward with the saxophone.
A deep saxophone blows, and a unique melody wafts through the nearby night sky.
The pedestrians around were attracted by the sound and couldn't help but stop and listen.
This is a new song that no one has ever played before, and unlike most saxophone music that is deep and calm, Gu Wei's song is full of a cheerful atmosphere, which makes people can't help but dance along with it.
After the song was played, the four-piece band was already surrounded by men and women, and everyone applauded, and some coins were thrown into the guitar bag that was opened on the outermost side.
"Awesome, Gu Wei, your song is so good, why have I never heard it, it's so brainwashing, the melody in my head is still ringing now"
After Gu Wei finished playing, he turned around and high-fived the others, and Jing Boran couldn't help but ask.
"Of course you haven't heard the new song I wrote." Gu Wei was unceremonious.
The song he just played solo on the saxophone is called "Dance Monkey", which is a song released by local Australian singer Toni Watson in 2019.
The song was a huge success in Europe and the United States that year, and became a veritable "slaughter chart" song on the charts of various countries, and has been crowned the top of the charts in Belgium, Norway and Switzerland for more than 15 consecutive weeks, and even won the championship in Australia for 22 consecutive weeks.
So he was sure that these foreigners in Sydney would like it.
"Ruoyun, give me the electronic organ first." Gu Wei put down the saxophone and put the mike next to the electronic keyboard.
It was just a pure music saxophone solo, and now he's going to perform the full song.
"Okay." Zhang Ruoyun hurriedly got out of the way and helped Gu Wei set up his things.
"Bell. Bell." The electronic organ version of "Dance Monkey" sounds, which is different from the saxophone is a different taste.
βThey say oh my god I see the way you shine
Take your hand my dear and place them both in mine
β
Gu Wei sang to Mike while pressing the accompaniment of the electronic piano.
Compared with the pure music just now, the complete song has a greater impact on the listener.
βSo I say
Dance for me dance for me dance for me oh oh oh
β
At the climax of the song, some foreigners on the lookers couldn't help but twist their bodies along with the song, and the street shrouded in music seemed to fall into a joyful atmosphere.
The four-piece band has become one of the largest gathering points in the small square outside the Sydney Opera House.
It was fast to 9 o'clock, the opera house performance was over, and a large audience came out of the main entrance.
Lai Qiyao also came out with her good friends, they are domestic students studying in Australia, and the two are classmates in a dormitory, and they made an appointment to come out to watch music performances together in the evening.
"Yaoyao, you see so many people gathered over there, what are you doing?"
Lai Qiyao looked at it.
"Usually there are a lot of wandering performers here, either playing musical instruments or playing and singing by themselves.
But I've never seen a time when there are so many people around, and it's almost time to meet the stars! β
"Shall we go and have a look?" The friend took her arm and suggested.
"It's not good, it's a little late, and there are so many people over there, it's not good for us to squeeze in" Lai Qiyao hesitated.
As soon as the sentence "It's okay, it's all here" came out, Lai Qiyao had no reason to refuse.
It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the crowd, and as they got closer, the sound of powerful music could be heard in their ears.
At this time, the song played in it happens to reach the climax.
βFace up 'cause you're a Natural
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold
β
Hearing this, the two little girls were excited.
"Gu Wei's [Natural], singing so well, is it a professional band?" Lai Qiyao was puzzled.
After squeezing a few steps inside, the two of them could basically see the performers in the circle.
"Wow! I said that this voice is so familiar, it turns out that it is really Gu Wei, it is incredible! When my good friend saw the appearance of the singer inside, he shouted in surprise.
The foreigners listening to the song around all frowned and looked at the two.
Seeing this, Lai Qiyao hurriedly dragged her good friend, and the other party also realized her gaffe and covered her mouth embarrassedly.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, in the villa where Hua Shaotuan lived, several girls stayed in the living room and chatted and waited for news from the boys.
Gu Wei and the others walked for more than 3 hours, at first Jiang Shuying was worried, and then Song Zuer and Meng Ziyi were also a little anxious, only Nazha drank hot water slowly and methodically, there was no wave on her face, she had absolute confidence in Gu Wei.
"Look, they're back!" Song Zuer looked up at the courtyard and suddenly caught a glimpse of several figures coming in at the gate.
Seeing this, several girls hurriedly greeted them.
Between Gu Wei and the others, the four of them strode in proudly, especially Jing Bairan, whose chin was about to rise to the sky, and his expression was like saying again, 'Come and praise me!' β
"Well, what are you doing?" Jiang Shuying still wanted to find out what the boys were doing.
"Here, Jiang Jiang, here is 3,941 Australian dollars, in addition to your 1,000 yuan of capital, there is an extra 2,941 yuan, which is enough for us to eat and drink big fish and meat in the next few days!"
Jing Bai took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Shuying.
"What are you doing here, getting so much money in three hours?" Jiang Shuying took the money and looked puzzled.
For everyone in the Hua Shao group, the 3,941 Australian dollars is nothing, but now they are recording [Hua Shao], and with the intervention of the program team, they have to rely on themselves.
In this foreign land, life is not familiar, Jiang Shuying can't think of anything to make money so quickly.
"It's just to make money, it's a little meaning, it's all about the talents of a few of us!" Jing Bairan entered the door and sat down on the sofa in the living room, his expression full of pride.
Jiang Shuying ignored him and looked at the others suspiciously.
Zhang Ruoyun smiled and told them about the experience of a few people performing in the small square of the Sydney Opera House.
"When we came out of the opera house in the afternoon, we also saw the street performers over there, are they so profitable, they have earned more than 10,000 yuan in such a short time?"
Jiang Shuying was a little incredulous.
"How can it be so exaggerated, Gu Wei played and sang a particularly nice new song, which attracted almost all the people over there to us, and finally we collaborated on a few songs, which was a good effect.
But even so, I later looked at the income of more than 1,000 Australian dollars, and there was not much money left after renting musical instruments, and foreigners were not as generous as they imagined. β
"What about you"
In the end, I don't know who spread the news, but a group of Chinese students in Sydney came, most of whom were fans of Gu Wei, and they were enthusiastic.
If we hadn't stopped us, the money would have doubled! β
Zhang Ruoyun explained with a smile.
After he finished speaking, Mencius Yi and Song Zuer both looked at Gu Wei with admiration, and the corners of Naza's mouth curled up, as if everything was within her expectations.
Jiang Shuying looked at Gu Wei with a pair of beautiful eyes, and then looked at the other three boys.
"Everyone has worked hard, and they have paid a lot for our trip!"
Gu Wei took a sip of the hot water handed over by Naza, he had just sung a few songs, and his voice was indeed a little dry.
"Jiang Jiang collect the money, since the funds are enough now, you can have a good time next, everyone should rest early."
Several people agreed and prepared to get up and leave, Zhang Ruoyun smiled and raised his hand.
"Well, I propose, let's have a drink and celebrate, which perfectly solves the difficulty of traveling to Australia."
Gu Wei was a little speechless, he knew that Zhang Ruoyun, an alcoholic, would find all kinds of reasons to take a sip.
In the end, everyone took out a bottle of white wine and toasted to celebrate.
This season's flower group did not tear up, even the small conflicts between the members were few, everyone worked together to overcome one difficulty after another, and everyone enjoyed the happiness brought by this trip very much.
