Chapter 218: You're Sorry

Shizuka Kudo said with some regret: "It's a pity, they are sure that they are suitable for here." ”

Because Shizuka Kudo has been staying in the studio recently, she is also familiar with No. 43 Baojia Street.

Usually when she has free time, if Zhou Yan is there, she will go to Zhou Yan, and if Zhou Yan is not there, she will go to see the piano youth orchestra or the rehearsal at No. 43 Baojia Street.

Zhou Yan has always supported the exchange between Shizuka Kudo and them, not to mention the Piano Youth Orchestra, maybe No. 43 Baojia Street will develop into neon in the future.

If there really is that time, Shizuka Kudo can more or less help them.

"If you want to see their performances, I'll take you to see them if I have a chance." Zhou Yan said.

As soon as he said this casually, Shizuka Kudo asked very seriously, "When?" ”

It's like two people meeting each other, and when they greet each other, they casually say that there is a chance to invite you to dinner, and the other party has to ask when.

"Uh...... Wait for your next concert. ”

Shizuka Kudo's two concerts in Yanjing have been decided, and it was a little trouble, but it was Zhou's help in the middle.

It didn't take much effort, Huo Siqi found the right person and said it, and the matter was solved.

The last time Shizuka Kudo came to hold a concert, the scale was relatively small, two or three thousand viewers per show, so it was easier to approve, but this time it was to be opened in the Gongti, and the scale was much larger, but it was not impossible to approve, but the process must be troublesome, and it was not approved so quickly.

Huo Siqi's intervention only made the process go faster.

Now Shizuka Kudo's concert approval process has entered the final stage, and the song list has been handed over, and the time will be set soon, and it will basically be confirmed that it will be next spring.

Zhou Yan originally thought that since he had already said so, this matter would be fine, but what he didn't expect was that Shizuka Kudo actually took out a pen and paper from her pocket, she wrote on the paper for a while, and handed it to Zhou Yan after writing.

"You sign your name."

The light in the bar was a little dim, Zhou Yan looked at the note at the changing light, and a few Chinese characters were written crookedly on it, Yanjing, Zhou Yan, bar, and some neon words, Zhou Yan couldn't quite understand it.

At the bottom of the note is Shizuka Kudo's own name and the time of payment.

"What are you writing about?"

"What is written is, you are in the bar, promise me, take me to see, Wang Feng their, performance."

Zhou Yan nodded, didn't ask much, and directly signed the word "Wednesday" below.

Looking at the word "Wednesday", Shizuka Kudo looked puzzled, "Is this not right?" ”

"This is my nickname."

"Huh?" Shizuka Kudo was puzzled.

"Do you know Bai Juyi?"

Shizuka Kudo nodded, "Of course." ”

Bai Juyi's popularity in neon is very high, and many neon people have read Bai Juyi's poems.

In China, if you ask a person who is the first poet who comes to mind, most people will say Li Bai or Du Fu, but in Neon, most people will say Bai Juyi, and other poets will go a little later.

"Bai Juyi is his name, and he also has the word Lotte, and he is called Xiangshan Jushi."

After listening to Zhou Yan's example, Shizuka Kudo suddenly realized, "Oh, I know, Wednesday is, your number." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "It can also be understood in this way. ”

In fact, Wednesday is a pen name of Zhou Yan, and this pen name is a combination of Zhou Yan, and the combination of production and three is exactly one Yan, and Zhou Yan is also three, so it is also reasonable to call Wednesday.

The main Zhou Yan doesn't know what Shizuka Kudo writes, so it's not easy to sign his real name, this kind of thing can be big or small.

Shizuka Kudo nodded contentedly, then carefully put the note away again.

Seeing her actions, Zhou Yan couldn't help but shake his head, this girl would carry a pen and paper with her.

There were more and more people in the bar and a few more people on the stage, all of whom were rock players with shoulder-length hair and rivets.

This is supposed to be the resident singer of the bar, and the time is about the same, and it will be time to start the show in a moment.

He deliberately stared at it a few more times, but he didn't see an acquaintance, maybe he didn't recognize it, after all, the lights in the bar were dim, and their hair was relatively long, even if they knew each other, they might not be able to recognize it.

Seeing the resident band on stage, Shizuka Kudo was also very interested, staring at the stage with blazing eyes, waiting for the performance to begin.

After a while, the sound of the guitar on the stage came, and as soon as the prelude sounded, Zhou Yan heard that they were going to sing the Black Panther's "No Place for Shame".

Hearing that he was going to sing this song, Zhou Yan was quite interested, but soon his eyebrows furrowed.

The song is a good song, but the level of this singing is not good, and the song is sparse.

This band is obviously an imitation of the Black Panthers, but they only imitate the Black Panthers, and they have not learned the ability to sing at all.

Nowadays, many rock bands also have this problem, and their minds are focused on the energy of the performance, and they put little effort into the music itself.

Not to mention creation, just talking about the level of singing, most of them did not meet the standard.

The pitch is a mess...... In fact, the pitch of the song "No Place for Self-Containment" is really not difficult to find, but the rhythm requires a little effort, and in terms of rhythm, their problem is even greater, it is simply messy, and the instruments are not in harmony with the vocals at all.

Shizuka Kudo hadn't heard the song, but she could tell that the level of this resident band was not good.

She also spoke straightly, "It's much worse than Wang Feng and them." ”

Zhou Yan didn't say this, and it was unfair to compare Wang Feng and them, these two bands are not at the same level at all.

Not to mention anything else, just for the musical instruments, Wang Feng and they want to throw these people a few streets.

Wang Feng and they are all from professional classes, although they are not learning guitar, but after all, they have been playing the violin for more than ten years, and they can play a guitar clearly, not to mention Zhao Muyang, the "Northwest Drum King", in the rock circle, he said that he played the second drum, and no one dared to say the first.

After listening to a song, Zhou Yan felt quite bored, but Shizuka Kudo's interest was still very high, even if she felt that the performance level of the band was not high, she still followed the other audiences in the bar to give warm applause to the band.

Shizuka Kudo enjoyed the feeling of watching the show offstage.

In fact, this is a rare experience for her, after all, usually, she is on stage, and the audience cheers for her offstage. It's also quite interesting to switch roles like this now.

The point is, in a place like this, she doesn't have to worry about others being able to recognize her, so she can be a little more wanton. During this time, every day is practicing songs and recordings, life is very boring, and she also needs to vent.

About half an hour later, the beer in Zhou Yan's cup was only half a cup, Shizuka Kudo's third glass of beer had bottomed out, and when she was about to ask for the fourth cup, the lead singer on the stage had just finished singing a song, holding the microphone and saying, "Thank you for your support, tonight's performance of our 'Paper Band' is over, but everyone rest assured, tonight's singing in our Yunsheng bar will continue until it closes, and then we will invite a new friend to come on stage to sing for everyone, let us welcome Xu ~Wei~"

Hearing Xu Wei's name, Zhou Yan raised his head.

There was a burst of applause in the bar, this applause was not warm, and it should basically be polite, most of the audience should not know Xu Wei, otherwise they should have already started calling Xu Wei's name and screaming at this time.

Xu Wei is somewhat famous in the northwest, but it is not easy to come to Yanjing.

Seeing Xu Wei on stage, Zhou Yan was also quite surprised, because Xu Wei's hair was cut short and became much more capable than before.

The Red Star Production Club promised to give Xu Wei a song, but this thing was definitely not so fast, so it was not strange to see Xu Wei appear here.

And even if the Red Star Production Society gave Xu Wei a song, or even if the song became famous, it would not have a great impact on Xu Wei's situation, and Zhou Yan was more skeptical about the realization ability of the Red Star Production Society.

Now there are many well-known musicians who cooperate with the Red Star Production Society, Zheng Jun and Dou Wei are all there, but the Red Star Production Club still has no way to make money for these musicians.

The reason for this situation is not only related to the general environment, but also related to the development model of Red Star Production Society.

When is it now, the Red Star Production Agency is still thinking about following the previous model, and is bent on letting the artists follow the path of the three heroes of Magic Rock, imagining that rock and roll can still make people crazy like the golden age, and the final result will definitely not be too good.

Xu Wei stayed in the Red Star Production Club, and in the end he was afraid that he would not get what he wanted, and the only change was that he could be recognized by more audiences by performing in the bar, and the appearance fee was a little more than that of other unknown singers.

Shizuka Kudo applauded the crowd, and she quickly noticed Zhou Yan's eyes.

This was the first time Zhou Yan showed such a high interest in the stage tonight, so Shizuka Kudo was curious, "Do you know him?" ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, I wanted to sign him before, but I didn't sign it." ”

Shizuka Kudo was surprised, "He actually rejected you?" ”

In Kudo's opinion, this is a very incredible thing, what singer would refuse a producer like Zhou Yan?

Zhou Yan's talent, as well as the conditions that Zhou Yan can provide for musicians, let alone newcomers, even some famous singers may not be able to refuse.

Judging from the reactions of the bar customers just now, this Xu Wei should not be a well-known singer.

Zhou Yan shrugged, "That's the truth. ”

He didn't explain much, Shizuka Kudo didn't know much about the situation on the Chinese side, so he didn't know how attractive Red Star Production was to rock singers in rock circles, and it was not unthinkable that Xu Wei refused him to choose Red Star Production Company.

Shizuka Kudo pouted, "Okay." ”

Because of Zhou Yan's words, Shizuka Kudo also has more expectations for Xu Wei's next performance, she wants to see how Xu Wei's level is.

The first two songs sung by Xu Wei were "Kuafu" and "Fairy Tale Era" during the Feiband period, and after listening to it, Shizuka Kudo was a little disappointed.

In fact, Xu Wei's performance is quite good, these two songs are okay, and the overall performance level is much higher than that of the paper group band just now, but because Zhou Yan said that he didn't sign Xu Wei, Kudo Shizuka's expectations for Xu Wei are particularly high, and Xu Wei's performance did not meet her expectations.

She still couldn't understand why this person would reject Zhou Yan.

The audience was also a little disappointed and gradually became impatient.

They don't care what Xu Wei's singing level is, they come to the bar in the hope of hearing some familiar songs.

The paper group band on the stage before had a very poor singing level, but the whole band sang with the style of rock and roll, and they still sang songs they knew.

When they found out that the third song was still a song they hadn't heard, some of the audience began to shout.

"Brother, sing a song "Nothing"."

"Don't just sing these things you haven't heard, you don't like to hear them."

"Let's listen to the first one."

"Let's do "Don't Break My Heart"."

Hearing the shouts of the customers in the audience, Xu Wei didn't react at all, and continued to sing "Wandering", and in the end, the boss should be unable to bear it, so he said a few words to Xu Wei in the past.

After the boss finished speaking, Xu Wei sang Cui Jian's "Nothing".

This time, the customers gave their own applause, and some whistled.

Looking at the reaction of the customers, Zhou Yan secretly shook his head, and later many people beautified the bar a lot, and some even thought that the development of rock music was inseparable from the bar.

But in fact, there is no truth to this view, the bar is nothing more than a place for customers to release their stress in their leisure time, and customers cannot be expected to love music more, they want to listen to the current trend.

It's not their fault that customers spend money to release and want to listen to something lively and trendy, but it's their fault that they want to pursue their music dreams in such a place.

Although there was a time when the bar provided the rock singers with the necessities of life, it was only because of the gust of wind that the rock itself blew, and when this gust of wind blew, the bar would also abandon rock and roll very sensitively.

Xu Wei on the stage was forced to sing other people's songs, Zhou Yan couldn't hear a trace of spirit from his singing, his state formed a huge contrast with the warm applause from the audience, which made the whole bar full of a kind of funny.

Zhou Yan picked up the cup and drank the remaining half of the beer, then got up and said to Shizuka Kudo, "Let's go out." ”

Although Shizuka Kudo didn't hear Zhou Yan's words clearly, Zhou Yan's action of getting up to leave was too obvious, she was stunned for a moment, and then got up, "Are you leaving?" ”

"Well, let's go."

After speaking, Zhou Yan took Kudo Shizuka's wrist and walked outside.

Out of the door of the bar, Zhou Yan took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.

At the moment, the slightly cool air outside made him feel comfortable.

And Shizuka Kudo was pulled by Zhou Yan, and she was also very happy, after coming out, although Zhou Yan did not hold her hand again, the two were also very close and walked side by side.

Shizuka Kudo tilted her head sideways and asked Zhou Yan, "Why, you suddenly want to leave?" ”

"I'm just ......"

Zhou Yan just didn't want to see the musicians he admired suffer such humiliation, even though he knew that most people had to go through similar things before they became famous, but when things happened in front of his eyes, he was still a little touched.

Seeing that Zhou Yan wanted to speak and stopped, Shizuka Kudo stared at Zhou Yan's eyes for a while, and suddenly laughed, "You are sorry." ”

Zhou Yan did not respond positively, but said with a smile, "Your Chinese is getting better and better now, and I regret that you will use such words." ”

Shizuka Kudo said proudly, "I'm amazing." ”

At this time, a cool breeze blew, blowing away all the smugness of Shizuka Kudo, and she felt the chill and couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Shizuka Kudo was wearing a thin shirt, a silk long-sleeved shirt on the upper body, and only a skirt that reached the knees on the lower body, and this outfit could not withstand the cold wind of Yanjing's autumn night.

Zhou Yan glanced at the hem of her skirt and quipped, "You also know that it is cold." ”

His joke is not only directed at Shizuka Kudo, but also at neon women, who always wear very little, even in winter, many only wear skirts, which look very cold-resistant.

Shizuka Kudo still shrunk her neck, "I'm just, used to wearing it like this, no, I don't know it's cold." ”

Zhou Yan shook his head with a smile, took off his jacket, and draped it on Shizuka Kudo's body, he was wearing a thicker one, and he also wore a sweater inside, so even if he took off his jacket, it wouldn't be too cold. (End of chapter)
