Chapter 4 The Bar

Sanlitun is close to the Second Embassy District of Peking. Most of the customers are foreigners. In addition, foreign-funded enterprises in Dongcheng District gather. These international friends like to listen to some music and drink some wine. Chinese people quickly realize the huge business opportunities. Over time, countless bars stand on Sanlitun Street.

Gradually, a group of foreigners working in Beijing gathered here, and a large number of young white-collar workers who wanted to relax. Later, media workers, performing artists, and trendy people gradually came and went here.

Every day, many foreigners drive or call here, especially at night, foreigners will come here in groups. Not only foreigners are willing to come here, but many Chinese people also invite customers or friends here and use this place as a place for socializing.

The one-way road is a very famous bar on Sanlitun Street. There have been many celebrities here, such as Yang Kun and Siqingerile. The bar has two floors on the upper and lower sides, and the second floor is only one circle along the side, and the middle is hollowed out. Guests can clearly see the situation on the first floor from the upper floor. The design is very clever.

There is a carefully decorated stage in the middle of the first floor, with a microphone in the middle, and a variety of musical equipment next to it. There is also a band on site. In addition to the singers, the bar also asks guests to come up and make friends through songs. Of course, if you sing poorly, the booing and scolding in the audience will definitely make people feel dirt-like.

When Zhou Zheng was fine, he liked to come here, listen to music and chat, and felt very comfortable. Zhang Ran invited lunch and dinner, and Zhou Zheng felt that he should have expressed his feelings, so he asked Zhang Ran and Li Xinyue to sit here.

When Zhang Ran was working on a movie website in his last life, he would come here to drink with his friends when he had time. At this moment, he looked around and looked at the bar, and found that there was almost no change from what he remembered. A feeling of a dream arose.

The male singer singing on the stage is about 1.7 meters tall, thin, wearing a blue suit and a cowboy hat on his head, looking a little funny.

Zhang Ran's eyes flashed. Isn't this Huang Bo? He knew that Huang Bo was singing in a bar before he entered Beijing Film Academy, but he didn't expect it to be this bar.

Although the one-way stage is very small, there are often people from record companies. Many people come here just to show their singing talent. However, Huang Bo's voice is average and his singing skills are mediocre. It is basically impossible to be favored by a record company.

When Huang Bo sang two songs, the applause was sparse, only Zhang Ran was cheering loudly and applauding hard. Li Xinyue and Zhou Zheng were quite surprised. This man was singing so well, so why did Zhang Ran react so much! Only Zhang Ran knew how popular Huang Bo would be in the future. It was a luxury to hear Huang Bo sing in a bar ten years later.

Looking at Huang Bo who left the show in the bleak se, Zhang Ran really wanted to go over and say to him, "Young man, you have no future in singing. Actors are the right choice. You should just be a profession of actors! But if you think about it, just forget it. Huang Bo is almost twenty-seven or eight years old. He has been working hard in society for many years. He knows what he wants and does not need anyone to remind him."

As soon as Huang Bo went down, an acquaintance came from the audience, which was Hu Weiguo.

Li Xinyue lowered her voice and explained: "Hu Wei sang the national anthem very well. Apart from Teacher Huang Lei, our school will count him!"

Huang Lei is a famous talent at Beijing Film Academy. He performs good operas and sings well. He has released two albums, including "Singing While Walking" and "I Think I Am the Sea" that became popular all over the country.

In fact, it is not uncommon for people in the performance department to know how to sing. Voice, stage, shape, and appearance are compulsory courses in the performance department. Voice refers to vocal music, and those who come from the performance department can sing. Of course, people have different talents and different levels of hard work, and their singing skills are also uneven. It may be the level of "I Think I Am the Sea", it may be the level of being too confusing, or it may be the level of "The Offer of Love".

Hu Weiguo sang Shuimu Nianhua's "A Lifetime" by Shuimu Nianhua. He has a good voice and good skills, and is singing pleasantly. However, in Zhang Ran's opinion, Hu Weiguo's song lacks enough emotions and cannot touch people's hearts.

After the song was sung, the applause and cheers sounded from the audience.

“Sing well!”

“One more song, another song!

...

Hu Weiguo was quite satisfied with his singing and glanced at Zhang Ran arrogantly, with a sinister smile on his face: "Today, a real master came to our bar, a teacher who came back from the United States and taught at Beijing Electric Power at the same time! Let's invite Mr. Zhang Ran from Beijing Electric Power to sing a song for everyone!"

Beijing Film Academy is a place to cultivate celebrities. Beijing Film Academy teachers have a little mystery in the hearts of ordinary people, and they are the kind of existence that needs to be looked up to. At this moment, when the audience heard Beijing Film Academy teachers want to sing, they all gave invitations with applause: "Come, come one!"

"Yes, the teacher from Beijing Electric will give you one!"

"Go on, give us an English song!"

...

Zhang Ran was stunned when he heard this, his face darkened, and he looked at Hu Weiguo on the stage coldly. His voice and skills were not as good as Hu Weiguo. If he went on stage to sing, I was afraid that others would say why the teacher at Beijing Film Academy was at this level and would be too embarrassed.

Seeing that Zhang Ran was still, Hu Weiguo smiled with a successful conspiracy: "Teacher Zhang, so many friends asked you to come to the stage, won't you give everyone face, right?"

Countless eyes were focused on Zhang Ran, and the applause became even more intense. The audience at the scene invited Zhang Ran to the stage with applause and shouts.

Zhang Ran could not just sit like this. Now he has only two choices, either turn around and leave, or go on stage to sing. Zhang Ran knew that his voice conditions and skills were not as good as Hu Weiguo, but he was a little twisted. Just leaving like this was not his personality. He took a breath and walked towards the stage.

If you want to talk about sound and skills, the students of the Central Conservatory of Music are definitely Chu Qiao, but there are a few of the truly popular singers in China who are in midrange. Singing does not only look at sound and skills.

When he walked onto the stage, Zhang Ranli ignored Hu Weiguo and went straight to the front of the band and borrowed an electric guitar. The song he could sing had not been born yet, and the band could not accompaniment, so he could only do it himself.

Zhang Ran stood in front of the microphone, looked at the bar customers, and smiled and said, "Friends, I am the kind of person who sings for money and I sing for death! If everyone thinks it is unpleasant and is about to escape, you must give the money for the wine first, otherwise the boss will ask me for it, and I will lose a lot!"

The audience laughed and had a good impression of Zhang Ran. This teacher from Beijing Film Academy is quite funny and has no airs at all.

However, after laughing, everyone talked about it. Zhang Ran’s image and temperament were very prominent, with his upright nose, Xing Jian’s eyebrows, and his clear and bright eyes containing extremely firm power. A faint smile hangs on the corners of his lips, exuding the smell of sunshine.

In a corner of the bar, there were two girls of eighteen or nineteen years old, both of whom looked like students, with round faces, short and delicate appearance like porcelain dolls; the tall girl was pretty and bright, with a sense of confidence between her eyebrows and eyes.

The girl with round face looked at Zhang Ran on the stage and sighed: "Wow, this teacher from Beijing Film Academy is so handsome, even more handsome than Huang Lei!"

The tall girl felt deeply the same and nodded, "It's so handsome. If he was my teacher, he would teach me every day, how happy he would be!"

The girl with round face smiled and said, "Xinyi, you have passed the professional courses at Beijing Electric Power! If you go to Beijing Electric Power, he will really be able to teach you!"

"Yes! I won't go to the Central Academy of Drama, I want to go to Beijing Film Academy!" Zhang Xinyi patted her forehead and said with a smile. She passed the professional course exams of the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy, and I don't know which one to choose. Her mother suggested to draw lots, but she caught the Central Academy of Drama, but now she thinks it might be better to go to Beijing Film Academy.

At this moment, Zhang Ran on the stage took a deep breath and sang with love: "Where is the world full of flowers? If it really exists, I will definitely go.

I want to stand on the highest mountain there, not caring whether it is a cliff or not.

I never chose to give up on ideals, even in the dirt-like day.”

In a corner on the second floor of the bar, there were a woman and two men. Anyone who knew a little about Chinese music could call out the names of all three of them when they saw them, Na Yin, Sun Nan and Yang Kun.

Na Yin's head shaking slightly, and his hands hit the beat: "This song is good, it sounds nice, but I haven't heard it before, it should be original, right?"

Sun Nan took a sip of wine and said, "I haven't heard of it, it should be original."

Yang Kun smiled and said, "This song sounds pretty good, but this Beijing Film Academy teacher has an average voice and sings very well."

Na Yin nodded and said, "It's right, and he has a high tune, so I'm afraid he can't sing it later!"

Gao Yin is Sun Nan's appearance, and he agreed with the Yin's point of view: "I guess it will use falsetto, otherwise it will definitely break the sound."

Zhang Ran didn't know that the three big names in the music industry made negative comments on his singing. He immersed himself in his emotions and continued to sing: "Maybe I don't have talent, but I have the naivety of dreams,

I will prove my life.

Maybe I am stupider, but I am willing to keep exploring.

Give all your youth without regrets!”

When Zhang Ran sang without "letting regrets", his voice began to rise and explode, like a hurricane that had accumulated enough strength, covering the sky and spreading around in an unstoppable posture.

"Run forward, facing cold eyes and ridicule!

How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships?

Fate cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy!

Even if blood spills over your arms!”

It is indeed as Sun Nan said, Zhang Ran broke the sound, and it broke it very hard, but it was precisely this kind of broken sound roar that gave people a strong shock!

It's not like singing, it's like a shout from the soul, a man's cry to his dream!

The guests at the bar seemed to see a warrior, turning into a ball of flame, and using their entire life to violently impact fate. They saw a man's persistence in his dreams and also saw hope, and their blood was boiling!

"Even if blood spills all over your arms!"

Keep running, with innocent pride!

How can you see the shining of life without persisting in it?

Instead of surviving, it’s better to burn indulge in!

It will sprout again one day!”

Zhang Ran's singing was like a whizzing shell, with the strong power that penetrated the years, rushed into the heart of every listener, smashed the wrapper of reality, and broke away the dream hidden deep in his heart that had long been forgotten!

The audience at the scene felt a heat flowing all over their bodies, turning into flames, igniting all the blood in their bodies. They couldn't help but feel excited, and stood up, impatiently giving the applause to this young man who was still burning his dreams!
