Chapter 93: Betrayal of a friend

"Hong Qianxiu, what's wrong with you tonight?"

"If you're not feeling well, go back and rest. In a few days, the audition in Guangzhou District will begin, and with your current state, the situation is worrying. A young man with a disheveled hair said with a concerned expression on his face.

"It's okay, I can persevere, but I suddenly want to sing a different song. Hong Qianxiu said with a reluctant smile on her face. But the sadness in the bottom of the eyes is not something that everyone can experience.

"Drum, do you have any opinions?" asked the other young men next to him.

None of them nodded in opinion.

The sound of heavy metal instruments hitting and pounding was heard again, and the whole powder room was busy.

A announcer hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Hurry up and get ready, your show is coming soon." ”

"Okay. Several young people dressed strangely turned their eyes to Hong Qianxiu at the same time.

Hong Qianxiu finished the final powder, put on lipstick, looked at herself in the mirror, and always felt less agile and more haggard. She stood up and whispered, "Alright, let's go." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed joy.

These four young people, together with Hong Qianxiu, formed the Xiangyun Band. The band has guitarists, bass players, drummers, keyboardists, and Hong Qianxiu is the lead singer of the band. The band has a female lead singer, which was rare in the past, but has gradually increased in the past two years. They have only been in the team for half a year, and they are not well-known at present, so they can only take some jobs in small dance halls and small activities to make a little money.

The reason why Hong Qianxiu joined the band is purely a hobby and hobby. She took a lot of time off to do this, and every day after work, she would rehearse with the band members, and today the band performed in a bar in Baiyun District.

The atmosphere at the bar scene was very warm, the colorful spotlights kept rotating, the lights were a little dim and ambiguous, and all kinds of men and women danced with the DJ music, all of them had a good time. The bartender shuttles back and forth from time to time, and occasionally a man and a woman kiss fiercely. Hong Qianxiu stood on the small stage, looking at the crazy and enthusiastic crowd below with confused eyes, feeling lonely as she had never been.

Xu Wei's "My Autumn" is a rock piece that is not strictly suitable for bars, perhaps it is only suitable for every autumn, quietly huddled in a corner or wandering aimlessly on the street when it is taken out to listen to, to experience the desolate loneliness. However, none of the songs can represent her current state of mind, and tears flow down her eyes as she sings.

However, the carnival men and women in the audience don't seem to be able to understand her state of mind, what they need is not grief and sadness, if it is wild, sexy, exciting, and crazy.

After the song was finished, waves of boos, shouting, and teasing came one after another.

The band returned to the dressing room, a little dejected.

The barkeeper walked over, his face was not very good-looking, and he said in a hard tone, "Why did you change the song temporarily?" Today the audience was very unhappy with your performance. There have even been quite a few complaints coming to me. For the sake of the bar's reputation, the agreement that started next month is void, this is your appearance fee, hurry up and pack up and leave. ”

The long-haired young man glanced at the envelope handed over by the other party, and said in a pleading tone: "Manager Wu, today is just an accident. Please give us another chance. Next time, I will definitely bring you a satisfactory performance. ”

"Hmph, I'm sorry. I didn't discuss this matter, and I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, we wanted to exchange you two months earlier. What else will you do besides rock and roll? The money that will be given to you is better than hiring two pole dancers, and the effect will be many times better. ”

The long-haired young man wanted to say something, but Manager Wu directly threw the envelope in his face and rushed out angrily.

The young man silently squatted down, picked up the envelope on the ground, and opened it, and there was only 500 yuan in it.

The keyboard player finally couldn't help but scold: "Grass, what kind of thing, only give 500 yuan, and send it away." ”

The drummer glanced at Hong Qianxiu, his strange eyes swept over, and he said in a deep voice: "Qianxiu, you have to give an explanation for this matter." The band belongs to everyone, and everyone can't accommodate you because of your temperament. The Cat Demon Bar is one of the few venues we have for a permanent show, and now that the other party has torn up the agreement, we have lost an important stage, and you have to bear most of the responsibility. ”

The bass player was also a little dissatisfied, and agreed: "That's it." It's good now, not to mention that the salary has been halved, and there is not even a performance venue. ”

Hong Qianxiu silently packed her bags, and only after half a ring did she raise her head, and said in a somewhat desolate voice: "I'm sorry everyone, it's me who is willful." I'll make up the half of the money deducted for everyone. As for the venue, I'll be in touch right away in the next few days. ”

The drummer said angrily: "I said Qianxiu, it's not like you haven't been in touch before, but so far, who is willing to accept it? Liang Dashao is so optimistic about you, and he also boasted about Haikou in front of everyone that day, or you should call him directly. Isn't that the end of this matter?"

Hong Qianxiu's face sank, and her eyes became cold: "Big drum, do you think so?"

The drummer snorted and said, "It's not just me who thinks so, everyone thinks so." Since Liang Shao is willing to contribute funds to support us, it is a great thing, when the time comes, we will have a bigger stage, better quality props, and a band album. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the band?"

Hong Qianxiuxin slowly turned her gaze to the long-haired young man, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiaoji, do you think the same way?"

The long-haired young man's gaze was a little evasive, and his face was full of struggle and hesitation.

Hong Qianxiu suddenly laughed miserably, her eyes were full of endless sadness, and she muttered: "I understand, let me go back and think about it." ”

The drummer spread his hands and laughed: "You can talk to him well, as long as he wants to support you, the voice selection will not be a problem at all, and it is not impossible to reach the finals with your ability." In case Liang Shao is happy, give a few mentors a little bit, and it is possible to enter the top eight and top four. ”

Hong Qianxiu said coldly: "Then there is no need. I'd rather not pass the audition than ask someone else. With that, she picked up her bag and turned to leave.

The drummer clasped his hands in front of his chest, and watched her leave with playful eyes on his face, it is estimated that Liang Shao is already waiting for him at the door.

Xiao Ji suddenly said angrily: "Big drum, you have gone too far. ”

The big drum said coldly: "Brother Ji, this matter is a bit unauthentic, but it is also for the sake of the band. If you really like Hong Qianxiu and are willing to pay for him, then even if I ask for food along the street, I won't do this thing. But you obviously don't, you also want to be successful, you want to be famous, you want money, for these things, you can also give up Hong Qianxiu. Moreover, even if you don't want to give up, do you have less to fight for? And most importantly, she doesn't like you at all. ”
